FLANDERS, JR., Valedi. Aluniimuii is ;i mclnl which i.s becoming increa.singly fainiUar to nil of u.s, but this famiUarity has not the same hidden leehng of the glamour of ancient times and peoples which that of iron and copper has. Aluminum is distinctly modern and in step with modern progress. The metal is extensively employed, not only in the household, but in the outside world as well. It is used in many varied and often curious ways in tlie air, on the land, and on the water. The beginning of the story of aluminum goes back to a httle over a hundred yeais ago, when it was isolated in Denmark and Germany. Lat( r, I ]mperor Napoleon the Third of France used it in preference to gold and silver for his best table ware. There was little development of the metal until about fifty yeais ago, when, in 1886, the modern method of pHxhictioii was discovered, in America, by Charles .Martin Hall. Hall, a classical student in Oberhn College, had become interested in aluminum. With the imagination of youth he believed that aluminum could be produced by electricity. A skilled scientist probably would not have been bold enough to make this attempt, but right after graduation, Hall set to work. His experiments continued without success into the winter. At last he discovered that the commonly-used aluminum oi e would dissolve in a certain melted mineral as sugar dissolves in lemonade. The result of this discovery was that one morning Hall found beads of aluminum at the bottom of his crucible. Thus, at the age of twenty-two, this inexperienced young man, in his laboratory in his father ' s woodshed, developed an economical and practical method of aluminum production. However successful his method might have been, business men would at first not support him. Finally, after some unsuccessful lawsuits had been brought against him, he received financial backing, and production began. The sponsors believed that a new and revolutionary era would be ushered in. They were soon to be shown their mistake. In its early days, the Aluminum Company of America suffered from the use of aluminum for purposes for which it was then not practical, as, for example, the metal in horse bits through which the horses quickly chewed, and as the metal composing safety pins which were easily bent, much to their owners ' vexation. This company, of which Andrew W. Mellon, former Secretary of the Treasury, is in control, has rec ' iitly liccn accused of violations of the anti-trust laws. It is considered the mo,st nearly perfect and complete monopoly in t he c( unt i y. Senator Thomas J. Walsh, when made Attorney-General, was prepared to proci ' ed against this aluminum trust, but his death prevented his doing so. Attorney-General Cum- mings has taken action, but the monopoly seems, thus far, to have won. One of the greatest facts of interest about aluminum is the variety and types of its uses. Do you know of its employ- ment in bars on lions ' cages, in platforms for trapeze artists, in violins for .symphony orchestras, and in aluminum ink? Aluminum is extensively used in connection with transportation. Airplanes are being made almost entirely of it. It is used as j)aint to cover the l)o(ly of the i)l;uie, ;uid is employed in the ( liin;i, ( ' lipj)er ' . .Modern diiigibles, such as the Akron and the Hindenberg , cause a. demand for its use in their framework. A small U. S. Xavy all-metal dirigible is covered with thin sheetings of it. On land, aluminum is used a little in automobile jjaits, as in pistons, but the metal is used more extensively in the construction of the bodies of modern busses. Aluminum bodies are also seen in trucks, for example, some of those at Boulder Dam. The white metal is entering the railroad field. The Comet , made mostly of an aluminum alloy, and other stream-lined trains have made markets for it. On the water, it was used in the mast of ' a,nderbilt ' s yacht, tli( Rainbow , and, in the form of i ' oil, as insulating mateiial with a weight reduc- tion of at least fifty times. Aluminum is well known in the household, especially in cooking utensils. Here it is valuable because of its durability, ease in cleaning, and light weight. It saves fuel and results in evenly cooked food. It is strong and pleasing in appear- ance. Housewives will be interested to know that scientific tests prove that aluminum ware does not poison food in any way. The metal is used in tubes containing toothpaste and shaving cream, even in tin cans, and in parts of radios and washing machines. It is used by food packers, soap makers, and sugar refiners. The newest field of development is in architecture. Apparently the first aluminum made in this country was the 100-ounce cap on the Washington Monument. Bought for $225.00, it was exhiljited in a window i and drew great crowds of curious recently inspected, but ne eded no cleaning after fifty years ' of service. The material is used in escalators, fancy doors, in bulkheads for flood protection, in bridges :ind in buildings, such as the Cleveland Municipal Statlium and the top of the Empire State Building. Aluminum can be formed into reasonably fine jewelry with a pleasing luster. Tlie queerest use of all is that of a so-called marsh l}uggy , with tires ten feet high, built by an oil company for pr(jspecting in swampy ground. The machine can travel on land and water. A factor which greatly helped the wide-spread exploita- tion of the metal is the change in tne price of aluminum during its history. In 1855 it cost ninety dollars a pound in contrast with less than five cents a pound to-day. The latter price may be lowered even more, for the metal is contained in every clay bank, but as yet cannot be separated from the clay. Through research, some day this feat will be ac- complished. The modern expansion of the utilitj ' of aluminum, which will be culminated by the extraction of the metal from clay, is but a fore-runner of a future Aluminum Age, in which the other metals may even be supplanted by this highly useful substance.

Salutatorian Horace Mann, the Father of the Common School, was born in Frankhn, Massachusetts, May 4, 1796. He was the instigator, the promoter, one might ahnost say the press agent, (jf nuxlern ideals of education. He is, by general consent, the greatest educator that this western hemisphere has produced. His generation was surrounded by turmoil, and his projects were iiiounlainous, but liis sturdy a,ncestors and pioneer life in the town of Franklin produced the incomparable Horace Mann. The citizens of this town, having named it for Benjamin Franklin, asked him to give them a bell for their town hall. Instead of this, they received a library, the first public one in America. It wi ' s out of these books that Horace Mann dug about the only really valuable part of his early education. He attended the village school, which was very meagcrly equipped, for about ten weeks a year. Later he said, ' ' Had I the power, I would scatter libraries over the whole land, as the sower sows his wheat field. His parents and what little schooling he had had, fur- nished the incentive for pursuing his education at Williams Academy in Wrentham and Brown University. After leaving Williams, he was tutored by Samuel Barrett, a private schoolmaster, before entering Brown University. After his graduation, he took up the study of law. Finally, he entered the Massachusetts Legislature. Through Horace Mann ' s effort the Worcester Insane Asylum was built. He also showed much interest in legisla- tion affecting the schools. In 1837 Mann, as President of the Massachusetts Senate, signed the act establishing a Board of Education. A few months later, he resigned all political prospects— which were very good — to accept the post of Secretary to the newly created Board. It is the one- hundredth anniversary of his acceptance which we are celebrating this year. Mann was well-fitted for his new work. Having attended a typical common school, he knew from experience their neglected conditi(jn throughout the state. His tutor, Mr. Barrett, had revealed to him the value of an able teacher fitted for his work. Mann was a convincing orator and a successful lawyer. In the legislature he gained valuable knowledge of the routine in bringing bills to the attention of both bodies and of methods of overcoming opposition. Thus he became the capable and untiring agent for the reorganization of the school system of this country. Many foreign educators copied his methods. Horace ]Mann ret ' olutionized the public school system of Am.erica. He in.sisted on ventilation in the schools and advocated dividing the pupils of each school into graded classes and placing over them teachers who had been taught how to teach in the three normal schools, which he himself had established. He thought the teachers should maintain obedience by respect and affection, not fear, and that corporal punishm.ent was unnecessary. At the insistence of Mann, a bill was passed by the Massachusetts Legislature, whereby nil schools cf)uld have libraries. The state and the school e; ' ,ch bore half of the expense. Up to Mann ' s time, children went to school whenever there was no work at home to be done. Befoi ' e he left his post r.s Secretary to the Board of Education, attendance was i ' i:v iiioic regular and the .school year was lengthened from ten weeks to six months. At present, we go ten months of the year. Physiology was, in his opinion, a necessary subject. Healthful surroundings were as nec( ssary as studying, whether at home or in school. During his Secretaryship, women began to teach. It is due to Horace Mann that we have music taught in the public schools to-day. Another of his beliefs was that intelligent research w;is far better than slavish memorizing. Mann said, The hand is another and a better hand when knowl- edge guides it. A .subject of first importance was that of state-supported normal schools. There were a few private institutions doing this kind of work, but they could not furnish the supply of trained teachers needed for the numerous public schools. Up to that time, people had thought that anyone who knew a fact could teach it, or could learn how to do so in the course of practice. Horace Mann and his fellow reformers thought it wasteful to sacrifice the interests of the children in order that the schoolmaster might acquire, through ex- perience, some idea of the mistakes to avoid and the best methods to follow. The normal schools founded by Mann were the first under state auspices. April 19, 1838, marks the beginning of a new epoch in American education, for it was on this day that Governor P]dward Everett signed the document ap- propriating money for the normal schools. This was the result of an offer by Edmund Dwight, a friend of Mann ' s, of ten thousand dollars provided the legislature would give the same amount for the same cause. The success of Cyrus Peirce, the principal of the first normal school at Lexington, played an important part in the victories won for the normal schools in the legislatures of the early eighteen-forties. If Horace Mann had not chosen such capable principals, his cause might have failed or might have been indefinitely postponed. When Mann left his post in 1848, he was elected to the House of Representatives. There his chief interest was the anti-slavery cause. After serving two terms in Congress, he became President of Antioch College in Ohio, carrying into the West the same message of educational reform that he had preached in Massachusetts. The College was not prosperous, chiefly for lack of financial backing, and Horace Mann ' s death in 1859 was hastened by overwork and worry. His grave is in Providence, Rhode Island. A statue of him is on the State House grounds in Boston. The man who believed that the common school is the greatest discovery ever made by man did not win one victory for humanity but many. Page Forty-seven THE TATTLETALE Pan- Americanism JOSEPH E. BRENNAN What is Pan- Americanism? There are so many in- terpretations of this term that it becomes difficult to g;ive a clear-cut statement. To sonx , Pan-Americanism means the Utopia of Peace, a tl( monstr:ition of the superior morality of the Western over the Ivistern Hemispliere : to otliers, it is a dream of the iiionopoliz; ' ! ion of Soutli American trade by the United States; to even others, there comes the thought of the Monroe Doctrine and oui- chivalrous protection of the weak against aggression; and to perhaps a few, it signifies a vision of empire in the Western World. Having seen th( se (Hfferent ideas in regard to the mean- ing of the term, let us look a hit into the hist(jry of Pan- Americanism so that W( may better decide for ourselves concerning the subject. The idea of drawing the Americas into a closer bond of friendship first came into the limelight through the untiring efforts of Simon Bolivar, a hero of the Latin Americas. He called the first Pan-American Con- ference, which was held at Panama in 1826. He fiimly believed that we Americans, living in this vast expanse which stretches from Hudson Bay to the Straight of Magellan, could be bound together into such a unit that it would prevent our making the same mistakes the other continents of the world had made. At this conference only six nations were present. The United States was conspicuous by her absence. We had been invited to send representatives to the conference, but there was such wrangling in Congress over the proposal that when the decision had been reached and delegates sent, the conference had adjourned, without ac- complishing a thing. Simon Bolivar ' s plan died in infancy, but his ideal lived on. Another one of the causes for this failure can be laid at our door. We expanded by buying Florida and Louisiana and by taking Texas and California. We recognized Panama; also we annexed Puerto Rico and the Philippines by fighting Spain. Is it any wonder that our smaller neighl)()rs were afraid to enter into an alliance with such a powerful nation? An attempt was made in 1889 to revive the spark of unity by Secretary of State James G. Blaine. We had suddenly discovered that the countries of South America were buying from luirope many protlucts that we thought they should buy from us. A conference was held in Wash- ington in 1889 to discuss trade. From this time on, the United States has been steadily gaining the confidenc( of her southern neighbors. In 1901 a Pan-American Exposition was held at Buffalo, N. Y., to celebrate the progress made in science and industry l)y the American countries. There were eighteen countries repr( sented. In 1910 a building, with its beautiful surrounding grounds, was dedicated at Washington, D. C, as a symbol of the Pan-Aiiiciicaii Union. Andrew Carnegie contributed a little over three-quarters of the total cost of this building. This structure is considered by many to be one of the most beautiful sights in Washington. By its breath-taking patio with its gently blowing palms, which I ' eflects the South American atmosphere, situated in the midst of these typical American surroundings, it symbolizes the idea of Pan- Americanism itself — unity. One must not forget, however, that there are also many obstacles in our path toward this goal. We must remember that Latin-American culture and ideals are derived from Fiance and Spain, not from r]ngland or the United States. Then there is the tariff. Argentina and Chile are very bitter against it. Also, while some of the countries that belong to the League of Nations feel that they are receiving few benefits and are willing to withdraw, many of them still adhere to it and contend that there is no need of a Pan- American Union. For the past two years or more the people of our nation have been more or less in constant fear of another world conflict, and their only desire is to keep out of it. Apparently the present administration has seized upon this idea of uniting the Western World as a means of doing this. It is felt that if the Americas could unite strongly enough, we could easily remain neutral in case of a European conflict by trading exclusively with one another. Also by otu ' peace and frientlship we might set an example for Europe to follow. Last fall the latest peace conference was held in South America. Presid( nt H()osev( lt took a trip to several of the Republics down thcic During his entire stay he was re- ceived with banners flying, bands playing, and sti ' cets sti-ewn with flowers. The natives listened intently to each word from his lips. Th( ieeling of the Southern Republic in favor of union was clearly shown by their attitude toward our Presitlent. All this is slowly lentling itself toward a more solid unity. President Roosevelt himself sponsoring the policy of union said at the last conference: No nation can live entirely to itself. Each one of us has learned the glory of Independence. Let each one of us now learn the glories of Interd( pendence. Page Forty-eight THE TATTLETALE TKe Value of Extra-Curricular Activities EDITH CONGDON Every year the American people are spending; several billions of dollars to train the youth of this country. This is because we, as a nation, are convinced that education inak( s it possible for the individual, not only to compete bettei ' in the world of business, but also to get more out of his daily existence. The main purpose of these biUions is to develop better trained leaders and more intelligent citizens. Good citizenship includes not only knowledge and ideals, l)ut also character and good habits. Due to lack of time, these qualities are developed not so much in classes of chemistry, mathematics, or biology, as in the actual partici- pation of school activities. This phase of his education gives the student a chance to practice that which he is learning in his classes and to form attitudes and opinions which will be helpful in meeting the problems of everyday life. Besides learning to express his own opinions, he learns to cooperate with those of his fellow students. He must learn that the success of the group is more important than individual glory. He becomes more interested in his school as he takes an active part in its student life. The greater stimulation there is of school interest among the student life, the less discipline will be necessary, because there will be more loyal and respectful students. After all, the best discipline, is that which comes from within, and comes not through fear of punishment, but because the group itself takes pride in upholding its own standards. In our own high school many outside activities are fulfilling the needs of the students in this respect. Everywhere to-day one hears a great deal about education for leisure hours. Through the sponsoring by the high schools of archery, camera, golf, and book clubs, many students will discover hobbies they will wish to pursue in leisure time in life after school days. Such clubs as journal- ism and radio broadcasting offer an opportunity to students to discover ability and likes and dislikes that they might not otherwise be aware of while still in school. Our own Sketch Club, which was recently formed, is one of the newer types of clubs. No definite program is followed ; anyone interested in Art is invited to attend on Thursday afternoons to experiment with his own ideas under the supervision of the art instructor. Who does not long at times, after commonplace hours of routine, to blend colors or to develop fascinating designs? Possibly the members will never become great artists, but they find enjoyment in working out their own dreams of beauty. And yet who knows but what someone will discover his life work? It is the duty of the school to direct and encourage the students ' love of music. This is the purpose of our Music Appreciation Club, Glee Club, and orchestra. These help to discover talent which many students have, but which for lack of encouragement or opportunity never develops. Page Forty-nine Not so long ago, it was the pi ' ivilege of some of our Glee Clulj members 1o pai ' t icipaJ e in niusic Icsl i -;tl field at Lowell, AfassachuscKs. They wen- coiniiicndcd highly for their (luality ' { tone, diclioii, and cxpi.-ssion. Surely this training in accui ' ucy is woiih while; nioivovci-, many wluj have enjoyed this experience of singing together in high school are more likely aftei ' school d;i,ys to join choral gi ' oups similar to that sponsored by the People ' s Instilule. Always there r( mains the possibility tliat one or more will be en- courag( d to pursue a musical career. Athletics plays a major role, not only in the lives of those receiving the honors and cheers, but also of t lie student body as a whole. It, above everything else, is responsible for the creation of loyal school spirit. The. enjovinent received from taking active part or even witnessing these forms of recreation is only a small fraction of their value. These carefully directed sports develop the body and train the mind to function instantly, follow directions precisely, and to lose like a man. During our first eight years of school, rules are made and set before us, and it is our duty to obey them. When we enter high school, we find a change of atmosphere and for the most part a more pleasant one. For the first time we not only conform to the rules, but also take part in drawing them up and in seeing that they are enforced. In this respect the Student Council plays an important part. Rules are drawn up by the members, but before they become law the approval of the principal and faculty is necessary. The students may have fine ideas and intentions, but, without the years of practical experience, they lack the necessary judgment. Council members are chosen directly by their home room classinates. With guidance from the faculty, the council serves the school in many ways, and thi-ough the representatives the wishes of each pupil aic expressed. The school is a small union, run as a democracy with a president and congress. The students are the population and the council members, the representative ' s. With the cooperation of the State Safety Council, we have a Drivers ' Club. Its purpose is to famili;irize anyone interested in obtaining a driver ' s license with the rules and regulations of the Highway Department. After careful study, examinations are given, and if passed the student is exempt from the oral test when he applies for a license. Illustrated lectures by state and local representatives have emphasized the fact that safety should be ever in the minds of the students. Thus we see that extra-curricular activities equip the students, through practical experience, with the tnuning to get the most out of citizenship. Knowledg( and practice must go together. We gather our knowledge in the class room and got our practice throgh extra-curricular activities. THE TATTLETALE Scientific Aids in Criminal Investigation CHARLES A. WALES Repeatedly we hear that this is the Age of Science. On every side we find uJiniistakable proof of the uses of science foi- the betteriiieni of mankind. But the average law-abid- ing: citizen perhaps knows little of the part science is playing at the pii -cnt time in the field of criminology. The double visored cap, the calabash pipe, and the reading glass of the fiction detective have been stored on dusty shelves by the advancement of scientific crime detection. The pohce have been quick to realize the value of this scientific aid to enhance the time-proven methods of their forces. To illustrate the methods of scientific crime detection, let us assume definite clues and follow their course through the laboratory. We assume that a body is found surrounded by definite and unmistakable evidence as follows: a bullet in the victim ' s body, powder marks on his coat, accumulations under the fingernails, a type-written threat in his pocket, a partially eaten apple, and a suspicious looking wooden box which is carefully collected and taken to the laboratory for study. With tlie aid of a microscope and a pantascopic camera, which phot(jgraphs the cylindrical surface of a bullet on a flat negative, the caliber and make of the gun from which the fatal shot was fired are detennined. The victim ' s coat, especially around the bullet hole, is examined for powder marks, by placing a paper soaked in a iiitiatc solution upon the garment, thereby revealing a characteristic red color, which proves the presence of small bits of powder. The circle of powder is measured to de- termine the distance from which the gun was fired. The accumulations from under the victim ' s fingernails, upon being observed under the miscroscope, reveal bits of human hair, not belonging to the victim, and wool fibres, unlike those found in the victim ' s suit. Unquestionably these bits of materials were clutched from the scalp and clothing of his assailant. In the inside coat pocket of the victim is found a type- written threat, which in itself, having no signature, appears worthless as evidence; but upon enlargement by projection, it is found that several letters are noticeably out of line. From the partially eaten apple a moulage cast is taken and compared with a cast of the teeth of the victim. Since these two casts tlo not agree, obviously someone else mu.st have been eating the apple. The box, found on a nearby table, proves to be a veri- table storehouse of information. On the lid of the box fingerprints are discovered by dusting the lid with bronze powder, and photographing them with an inspectograph. Ultraviolet light icveals that the seal on the box was tam- pered with, and upon examining the contents, there appears to be currency of a iuestionable nature. This suggests the possibility of theft and substitution of the counterfeit for the real. With tlie aid of ultraviolet rays the currency proves to be cleverly counterfeited, thereby establishing the motive — murder for theft. The evidence compiled by these scientific methods heretf)fore would have gone unnoticed. Now arises the question of what this has to do with apprehending the criminal. Meanwhile, by routine methods, the police have picked up a suspect. In the possession of the suspect is found a gun, from which a test shot is taken. Mien this bullet is conr- pared with the one foimd in the victim ' s body, the telltale rifle markings prove conclusively that both bullets were fired from the same gtm. The coat of the suspect has a hole in it. This hole he d( clares was Inu ned by a cigarette. However, the specto- graph tells a different story. This five thousand dollar instrument will indicate the presence of any element, in this case, lead, in very minute quantities. This evidence alone is sufficient for conviction, but let us see what is done with some of the other clues. The material from the victim ' s fingernails proves to be from the scalp of the suspect, and the fibers are identical with those from his suit. In the home of the suspect is found a typewriter from which a sample of typewriting is taken, which proves to have the same characteristics as the threat found upon the victim. The impressions from the suspect ' s teeth tally with those taken from the apple. This is a very good means of identification, as the tooth marks, as well as fingerprints, of no two people are identical. Needless to say, the suspect denies all evidence, where- upon a skilled physician administers scopolamine the so- called truth serum , which renders inactive that part of the brain u.sed in prevaricating. The lie detector , or polygraph, may be used for the same purpose. This in- strument, relying on changes in blood pressure and the rate of breathing, when the suspect is forced to answer vital ques- tions, indicates visually upon a graph when the suspect is lying. Eight years ago, the first large laboratory for crime detection was started at Northwestern University, in Chicago. The Federal Bureau of Investigation quickly recognized the value of this and in the fall of 1932 started one of its own. This laboratory has since become recognized as the best in the country. In the last fifteen months it has done work on over two hundred thousand cases submitted by poUce from all over the country. Also, in Ehzabeth, New Jersey, a group of interested citizens started an amateur laboratory which has become known throughout the country, and police depart- ments from everywhere ask for its aid. Laboratories are springing up all over the country, and it is hoped that the time is not far distant when infallible scicnitific crime detec- tion will spell the doom of the criminal. We are but a few of the thou.sands being graduated fronr schools and universities of whom those of scientific minds will undoubtedly carry on the ideal of a crime-free country through the means of scientific endeavor. Page Fifty THE TATTLETALE Roman and Modern YoutK RUTH FRANCES TU1TLE About two thousand years ago Pliny said of youth, Statim sapiunt, statim sciunt omnia, neminem verentur, neminem imitantur atque ipsi sibi exompla sunt. Trans- lated, this means, They are wise from the cradle, they know everything, they fear no one, they imilatc no one, and they are their own examples. Even back in the times of the ancient Romans, people used practically the same stock phrases used today, What is this modern generation coming to? and No on( would ever have tlreamed of doing that when I was young. They believed, as have all the succeeding ages, that their youth could not have been more sophisticated and that they had nearly attained the height of civilization. In Pliny ' s time illiteracy was rare. The conviction that education was necessary and beneficial was so strong that ►funds similar to our scholarships were established to help needy and worthy young people obtain learning. However, the schools, especially those for the poorer children, were of the lowest type — rude shacks added on to other buildings — where the whip of the master flourished frequently and studying was done aloud. The pupils sat for hours at a time on hard wooden benches with wax tablets balanced on their knees. What a vast difference between those conditions and the ones of the present day school with all its modern equipment! Imagine pupils to-day memorizing perfectly long Greek and Latin passages and multiplying Roman numerals! Roman boys were trained chiefly for public speaking; therefore they studied rhetoric, philosophy, music, and other sciences merely for the sake of better oratory. This cor- responds to the speciaUzation of to-day in schools of higher learning where allied subjects are taken to broaden the mind and to increase the mental scope of the student. When a Roman boy reached manhood he assumed the toga virilis, just as an American boy is graduated into long pants. This was a very solemn and important occasion when he was introduced to the public as a citizen and was allowed to vote. Being very proud of their state, the Romans believed that voting was their sacred duty. They had litt ' c m common with some young people of this age who do not even bother to register, thinking that their particular vote would be unimportant. Rome has always been famous for her law and statecraft. The government which she established has endured without change for centuries; even some of the court customs of to-day have Roman origin. But the sceret of Rome ' s civic success was the interest and patriotism of the pef)ple. A Page Fifty-one part of the education of 1he son of a Roman senator was an inlroduction to the sitting of the assembly to learn early how great affairs of the commonwealth were managed. All Roman girls were taught at home by their mothers to spin, to weave, and to manage a household. They studied music, poetry, and dancing in order to accjuire poise and dignity. For most of them their education was finished at about the age of fourteen when they were ready to assume the responsibihties of mairiage. However, :i few of the very wealthy girls received learning as advanced as any of the boys. But even they never (hcamed of having careers like many modern girls. In fact, careers were limited for everyone, there being only two then open to the high-born — law and war. In our times it would Ije a task to count the professions open to both men and w(jmen of any rank. All that seems to be needed now is talent, ambition, and an even chance. The Romans, knowing that the economic and pcliiical success of their country depended on the health of their people, believed in compulsory physical education for youth. In the schools of some states of our country this is now a rule and, I think, a very good one ; for how can we hope for progress if our young people are not trained to combat disease? A great many Roman sports and amusements are enjoyed by modern people. Two thousand years ago horseback riders were provided with bridle paths through gardens and parks ; hunting and fishing had just as eager devotees as they have to-day; tennis and boxing had their champions; and golf was very popular. Chess and a game of dice are merely handed down from the Romans. Young children had their dolls, carts, tops, balls, hobby-horses, and originated the arts of stilt-walking and juggling. The Roman spectacles, held in the Circus Maximus, correspond to the modern circus, while our movies have replaced their coarse theater per- formances. In spite of the high plane of civilization which we know was reached by the Romans, Rome fell. The loss of youth ' s ideals caused this downfall. Therefore, it would seem that we, whose degree of civilization is not far removed from theirs in comparison, should be car( ful that such a calamity d(jes not befall us. Youth, which is the salvation of every country, must uphold, if not improve, the standards and efficiency of our native land. The true spirit of youth everywhere is expressed by Elmerson: So nigh is grand( ur to our dust. So near is God to man, When Duty whispeis low, ' Thou must, ' The youth replies, T can! ' THE TATTLETALE Class History CHARLOTTE O ' BRIEN ALFRED LOVE On ii cloar September day, the class of 1937 started out in its first flight. The plane A. H. 8. carried high up into the clouds a group of over two hundred aMihitious youngsters. They thought tiiey were flying high unlil they saw three other phines above them. Their feeling was not altogether one of superiority. For mingled with the thrill that ac- companies any first flight, was the fear for a venture newly Ix ' gun. After choosing our navigators, who were Hubert Hen- nessey, president; Alfred Love, vice-president; Robert Barrett, secretary, and Ethel Leger, as li-casurcr, we started on a very successful trip of ten months. Many of our crew honored us by i-ecciving lettrrs in the major sports. Our first social run by a chosen c mim ittee, including the class officers and Dorothy ' alberg, Leon Flanders, Cynthia Richardson, John Antaya and Frank Manter, proved to be a great success. Xoriiia. Carlson and Alice Jette thiilled Mr. Gibb as they added their voices to the Glee Club. Xow after proving our flying ability to the three planes in a higher altitude, we landed on the field for a brief period of respite. L p again! in a brand new plane A. H. S. with at least one ship below us! The most memorable incident of that trip and the one that made us expand with importance was our first cla.ss meeting. For our guidance wr clcctid Alfred Love, president; Robert Barrett, vice-president; Karna Christ( nsen, treasurer: John Lee, secretary. Almost every one was active in the numerous clubs that were formed. Joe Pari eau, Harvey McXally, Etldie Fontneau and others received their lettei ' s in major sports. The class Social again proved to be a most outstanding event. After this exciting, but also fatiguing journey, we alighted for a brief summer vacation which ended, not too soon, wlien the plane once more took off on another ten month ' s flight. Two planes below us and only one above! Almost immediately a class meeting was held in which the class guides were chosen. Reed Baker was elected pic-iilmt : Siaiiliope Gray, vice-president; John Lee, secre- tary and Thomas McBrien as treasurer. Again members of the crew proved outstanding in all sports. Joe Pariseau, our junior football captain, led his team to a very successful season. Although we had participated in the various social functions of previous years, it was with add( d dignity that we attendetl the Junior Social. An experience of great moment was the selection of the class ring by a chosen committee. After a period of debate we finally made our choice. It was following this occasion that the airplane made a forced landing. Our pilot who had guided us through two and one-half happy years was compelled to give up his duties for a higher position for which he was very ably fitted. ' e, who had spent this time with Principal Alfred R. Mack, knew just how much he had meant to the school and to us. We regretted that th( s( coming aft( r would not be able to enjoy his capable leadership, his capacity for friendship and his ability to guide th( ir plane. But it was necessary for us to take wing. This time the plane carried sub-master Freeman Hall at the controls. At the conclusion cjf a very successful year, the A. H. S. came to rest in order to be ready to assume the burdens of the last and most important flight. It was with a feeling of pride and trepidation that we set out on our final flight — th( one which was to prove most successful. For our guidance we had the ex-navigator of the good ship B. H. S. of Brunswick, ; Iaine. .Mr. Philip Garland was to lead us through our final and most difficult flight. Our crew was also honored by the presence of a new football coach, Mr. Howard Tozier, from Hingham High School, who was to set many athletic records on the ship A. H. S. After greeting our new navigator and coach we once again elected our ofl cers. Reed Baker was re-elected president; Karna Christensen, vice-president; John Lee, secretarj ; and Thomas McBrien, as treasurer. The Blue Owl passed a very successful year under the direction of its editor-in-chief, Thomas McBrien and a very ccjnscientious staff. Such students as John Lee, Thomas McBrien, Al Love, John Maguire, Harvey NIcNally, Joe Pariseau, Ev Hyland, Allan Gross, Eddie Fontneau, and many others under the excellent coaching of Coach Tozier, set records that will live long in the history of the school. Karna Christensen, Joseph Brennan, Phyllis Wales, Betty Harris, and Charles Wales, made dramatic history when they appeared in the leading roles of the Class Play, The Show- Off. The Senior Social and Prom were very colorful affairs. All too quickly our graduation exercises were upon us. And, acccjrding to custom, we held our last great dance, the Senior Recept ' on. And so on a June day, we have ended our training. Now we must put into practice the knowledge gained during these four years, as each attempts his solo flight. Page Fifty-two THE TATTLETALE Class PropKecy (JUNE 18. 1947) On our graduation from high school ten years ago, our tin anniversary seemed in the far remote future. Now that we are actually celebrating it, graduation seems but yesterday. At our recent class reunion, we learned much about the present occupations of our former class members.

RAY COONEY On June 22, 1937, some of the greatest athletes ever to represent the Attleboro High School will leave, never to return again. No graduating class could ever boast of such stellar athletes as Eddie Fontneau, a four letter man in both his junior and senior years, Johnny Lee, a flash in practi- cally any sport, Joe Pariseau and Harvey McNally who were outstanding in the football team for three bruising seasons. In many other schools some of our lesser lights would have been really outstanding men but the great quantity of material for every sport made the competition very keen. Let us glance over some of these minor stars so that when they have left, their memory will linger on. Johnny Hannan starred in baseball and football for two years. Although small, Johnny had the stuf that makes great athletes. Tommy McBrien has been a star on the baseball team for two years. Warren Man-mountain Fryefield starred in the football team for two years. Reed Bud Baker has carried our colors in football and tennis for two years. Al Cloutier, Rollie Gendron, Allan Gross, Bob Thomas, Leo Boucher, Al Love, Frank Manter and Hubert Hennessey have all contributed to make the athletic history of Attleboro High School one worth having We know that everyone, athletes and all, wish Coach Howard Tozier, a great fellow, the best of luck in future years. Basketball This year ' s basketball season was the one we have had in a long time. Our defei ' t and the team finished up the season by winning the Brockton Tournament. Quite a few of our sharpshooters will not be here next year, but they leave a fine record behind Iherii. ' I ' hose who are graduating arc, Johnny Lee, Iridic !■ out John Maguire, Leo Boucher, Bud Baker ;iiid Allan (iross. Bob Maynard and Andy Voikos are the only two left from the first team but Lapham, Flynn, Cassidy, Eddie Lee, Bill Flynn and others will help them carry on ne.xt year. Football Under the coaching of Mr. Tozier, the football team had a very successful .season. They broke an old tradition by defeating Fairhaven, a feat never before accomplished by Attleboro. In spite of many injuries which handicapped the team, they came through with few defeats. The most important victory was over North Attleboro. Let ' s hope next season will be just as good. i rack The track team under Mr. Cooney enjoyed a very good sea.son. Although starting out with very few veterans, Mr. Cooney rounded out a team that went to the Rhode Island Interscholastics and South Shore Tournament as well as winning meets from the Alumni, Oliver Ames and Walpole. North Quincy was the only school to defeat the squad in a dual meet. Baseball ost succes.sful v( re very few Baseball reached a new high this year with the team winning consistently over all major opponents. Fielding, a veteran team, Coach Tozier ' s charges soon assumed a high position in the race for the mythical Bristol County championship. One feature of the season was the attendance which was good enough to make Mr. Spatcher beam. That is something! A. H. S. Sports The school year 36-37 will go down in the history of the school as one of the best our athletic teams have ever enjoyed. Every one of the squads, both boys and girls, enjoyed great succe.ss. The opponents have been just as tough as usual but Attleboro is getting tougher. Congratulations to the coaches, players and everyone connected with the success of the teams.

MUSICAL NOTES NORMA CARLSON, ' 37 The clas. ' of 1937 ha.s been especially fort unate in the mu.sical .side of the years ' events. We have had the privilege of seeing and hearing the first four operettas ever produced at Attleboro High. We have had Mr. Gibb with us and always standing by ready to do anything we might wish him to do. The orchestra, band, and Glee Club, have, of course, lost some members, but they have gained many new ones during these four years. Please don ' t think that these organizations are snaps . Members of these organizations have to work hard for every little bit of success they earn. We have had music at every assembly, and on some occasions music was arranged by Mr, Gibl). We have given a new operetta every year for the enjoyment of the student body as well as of the Glee Club itself. Last year the Glee Club had the privilege of singing at the Flag Day exercises given by the Elks. This year thi.s same organization won the highest honors at the Music Convention in Lowell, Massachusetts. Here ' s to the many future successes that Attleboro High ' s musical organizations are sure to have!

The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with speciahzation in ACCOUNTING, BANKING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of instruction, including lectures, solution of busi- ness problems, class discussions, professional talks by business executives, and motion pictures of manufacturing processes are used. Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (WITH DIESEL, AERONAUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING OPTIONS), ELECTRICAL, CHEMICAL, INDUSTRIAL EN- GINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINISTRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the Freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of Engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the Sophomore year. The Co-operative Plan, w hich is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to make business con- tacts which prove valuable in later years.
