And the class was without form and wonderment was upon their faces. And the Spirit of Sympathy moved among the teachers. And all said, Let there be more light to see the numbers of the rooms. But there was no light. Then there came forth among the Class the great divis- ion of the masses, and we now descried before us our leaders. All called William O ' Brien, President; Thomas Breese, Vice- President; Ruth Flavin, Secretary; and Helen Angel, Treas- urer. As custom called for councilors, we gathered together unto the library Earl Atwell, Muriel Deegan, Mary Feury, Richard Holbrook, Caroline Manter, David Niven, Ruth Scott, and Stella Wightman to yield plans for the future. And the Class brought forth the Freshman Social on April 26, yielding dancing as well as funds for the coming years. The Class brought forth an abundant number who supported the various clubs and athletics. The teachers saw that everything we had done was good, and behold, they passed us on to our second chapter. CHAPTER II Sophomore Year As quickly as the evening had fallen on our Freshman year, so the morning came of our Sophomore year. In this new generation, we took great pride to see the masses of Freshmen below us. To lead us on our journey on the straight and narrow path, we created Ernest Boyer, President; Eric Whitfield, Treasurer, and Raymond Peach, Secretary. And Russell Dennen, William O ' Brien, Margaret Gustafson, and Robert Schultheiss were blessed as councilors and given work and told to subdue it. And the President said, Behold, there is to be a social in the gym. And it was so; and the Class saw that it was good, for at its close the Class treasury had swelled mightily. And for many days Principal Mack received communica- tions from Boston asking him to accept a higher position in the Department of iMlucation. The Hood swept Mr. Mack away. And when the waters recedeth, we discovered that we were left with our true friend Mr. Hall as Acting Principal. CHAPTER III Junior Year And Mr. Garland came up out of the land of Maine to be our new leader. And on the same day Mr. Tozier arrived to take the place of Mr. Grayson as coach. Page Forty-nine listory ALFRED COLE It came to pass, as we journeyed into our Junior Year, that Robot Keeler was appointed President; Douglas Laphaiu, Mce-Presidcnt ; Ivlward Lee, Secretary; and Nelson Fontneau, Treasurer. Every living thing that attended the Senior Play re- marked on the merits of Francis Martineau and Nelson Fontneau, who represented our class. And when the sun was going down and the moon was rising on the eve of December 4, our third successful social was held under the direction of Muriel Deegan, Robert Schulth( iss, Barbara Lingard, Mary Fuery, Jane Gray and the class officers. And Mr. Gibb spake unto Canjline Manter, Edna Gagnon, Nelson Fontneau, and Francis Martineau, and asked them to appear in the operetta, Pinafore. And it came to pass, as we were nearing the end of our third chapter, that a committee arose to select a ring to be the emblem of our class. And when the brethren saw this ring, they beheld it in delight and praised the work of Muriel Deegan, Ellen Holman, William Flynn, J ]ric Whitfield, and the class (officers. And in the fall Lapham, Flynn, Littleton, Niven, and Cassidy appeared on the football field. We were also well represented in every other line of sports. When we had thus finished our rambles in this lower state, we passed on to glory. EXODUS CHAPTER IV Senior Year When we saw the light in this high altitude, we were immediately surrounded by a cloudburst of work to be done. And for this fourth year we appointed Nelson Fontneau, President; Muriel Deegan, and later Helen Ballou, Sec- retaiy; Eric Whitfield, Treasurer; and William Flynn, Vice-President. And William O ' Brien, President of the Student Council, called unto Jane Cole, William Cuthbertson, Barbara Lin- gard, J]dward Lee, Margaret White, Harold White, William Flynn, and Robert Keeler and said, Ye shall be councilors and shall hearken unto the will of the members of A. H. S. And we sent forth our president as messenger to the lower classes to make known our plans for the social which turned out to be one of the best of our many gtjod days. And on the twelfth month we rested and enjoyed our- selves mightily at our Senior Prom held under the direction of Thomas Breese, David Niven, Alice Towle, Robert Keane, and the class officers. To edit the Blue Owl, we appointed Robert Keeler whose work had been appraised the year before. Ye Treasurer noticed that there was a famine in the funds, and plans were brought forth for a sojourn back into THE TATTLE TALE the 80 ' s with Mrs. Moonlight. And those who witnessed this play all ajiivcd that Robert Schultheiss, AHce Miller, Jane Cole, Marjian t ( ileiicross, and Robert Semple helped greatly to make tlie play a wonderful success. And there was with us a youn - man, greatly versed in essay writing. And liis name was James Roger Spriggs. And he wa.s acclaiie.ed by all for his faithful labor in the Nation: ' ,l Mssa ' Contest, which resulted in his winning a rcedal of n:erit. And all tli( congregation that witnessed the operetta, Mikado, rendered a good deci.sion on the singing and acting ability of lulna Gagnon, Virginia Gonsalves, Caroline Manter, Eileen Brogan, Robert Schultheiss, Francis Martin- eau and Nelson P ontneau. And it was commanded that the name of Herbert Rounds be inscribed on the 25th Bar of th( Valedictorian Tablet in the lower hall. And the time drew nigh when the Class must depart and divide. So plans wvrv formulated by Margaret White, Edward Lee, and David Niven for a Reception. Thus the work of the Class of 1938 was finished. And the people bl( ssed it at a graduation because it was good. And the Class of 1938 now goeth forth to yield abundant success as it moveth upon the face of the earth.

Barbara Lawrence William Flynn Charles Hanisch Page Fijly-three THE TATTLETALE Zoning HERBERT ROUNDS, Valedictorian In ;ill probability there are very few, if any, problems c.xistins in municipal p;overnment which have received as much attention in as niany Am erican cities as that widespread (}Uestion of planning a city for future development. The increase of legislation dealing with this planning and its accompanying zoning acts reached its height in the period following the World War, but declined as did neaily every form of extra-governmental activity during the depression of the early thirties, only to be revived for further progress in the last few years. However, in the revival of this public proposition, a new phase was introduced which had formerly occupied only a minor role, but which now swept to the front as one of the most prominent aspects for consideration — that is the problem of Zoning. Zoning itself consists in the dividing of a municipality into districts, such as residential, industrial, and business districts, for the purpose of promoting the health, .safety, morals, convenience and general welfare of its inhabitants, and to lessen the danger from fire, congestion and confusion. Zoning laws were first originated in the Colonial Period. An example of such is the plan for Charleston made by Thom.as Graves in 1629. Although these early plans seldom expressed more than basic principles, they served as the foundation to which the following generations have added, until at present, a normal zoning act generally consists of an intricate master plan in which districts are definitely appropriiited for specified u.ses, and which are all under the supervision and control of a subdivision department. It is unfortunate, yet too often true, that in the majority of cities, the complicated zoning acts have constituted the first st( p taken in the direction of planning, whereas the election of a planning board prior to their passing would have prepar( d the way for a much more economical and efficient enforcement. In spite of the fact that such legislation is an utter necessity to the future success of a community, there has been, and still exists, it .seems, an opposition to it, which, unfortunately, has been strong enough to hinder its progre.ss in a good n any communities. On what grounds are these argun ents ba.sed? There are many, s( veral of which are too trivial to deserve m.entioning. Yet there are a few which are popular and common to the majority. Probably the most dangerous reasf)n is the lack of real basic information and knowledge as to th( correct meaning, value, and content of the laws thenisplvcs. Then, too, is the argument of the buyer of land and its natural resources that the law has no power to encroach upon his rights to use them as he wants. Yet, if we are to take the prst as an example of how these resources would be developed, would it not be to the greater benefit of man- kind, if the governn ert should put a stop to this enormous raid and waste of our natural resources by the pa.s.sage of a simple zoning act which, at the most, would do no more than to hmit the rights of this individual to equal the rights of those who are to follow him. Similar to this infringement of zoning laws on the hberty of lantlowners hes the following example. Suppose you have worked all your life and save enough money to buy a home for yourself and your family. After cartiful consideration, you finally make your selection — a cozy single- family cottage and lot in a quiet residential di.strict, locat( d perhaps a two-minut( walk from the business section. Here you settle down and after two or three years have become very devoted to it. Then suddenly you learn that your neighbor has .sold his property to a small refining company, who accepts the disadvantages of ii l( ss central location because it is not prosperous enough to pay the required rents in the more central, developed business districts. Immediately your peace and tranquility at home have vanished with nothing left except to hope that you too may be able to sell your property and regain your happiness elsewhere. Let us not forget that facts have proved that with the average increase of business, it will take from ten to twenty years for the business section to expand enough to need your property. In the meantime, you lose all interest and pride in your hom.e, except in your attempts to sell it; whereas the city asscs.sor is usually very ready to agree with you that your land is now very valuable business property, with the result that as your property depi-eciates, your ta.xes increase to almost unbearable heights. This all might have been avoided if you had asked but one simple question before buying the property. Is this community zoned? Also to be considered are the rights of the owner of the refining company. He has not violated any law, legally, for he has a right to make his living as well as his neighbor has. There is a saying originated by that great American philosopher, Abraham Lincoln, which might well apply to this. He said: The shepherd drives the wolf from the sheep ' s throat for which the sheep thanks th( shepherd as his liberator, while the wolf denounces him for the same act as the destroyer of liberty Plainly the sheep and the wolf are not agreed on a definition of the word libcrtij, and precisely the same difference prevails among us human creatures. Therefore, would it not be much better to have a zoning law act as a liberator between the refining company and the home owner to hmit the powers of both to pre vent infringement by one on the liberty of the other? A zoning act should not be regarded as a straight jacket nor a rigid mould into which a community must be poured. For on the contrary, a good, well-balanced law, with reason- able enforcement plus the exceptions granted by the Board of Appeals, makes it similar to a paper pattern which is very flexible and may be recut to meet the necessary requirements. Then, too, a zoning act, like any form of legislation depends upon the cooperation of the public as well as its officials in order that we may secure its best results. There- fore, we cannot urge too forcefully, the need for an immediate united, support by the people of such a policy of real munici- pal progress as is truly represented by a good zoning act. Pcuje Fijtij-Jour THE tattletale; Love Thy Neighbor AVIS HORNE, Salutatorian Every milestone in the history of the world has been characterized by a period of social turmoil, yet out of this conflict there has arisen a pioneer spirit which has carried a message of hope to mankind. In our modern age, it was inev- itable that the abnormal speed of the industrial life would leave behind those individuals who, through unfortunate circumstances, could not keep pace, but instead were forced back into the wretchedness of life in the slums. No amount of philanthropic enterprise could successfully relieve the appalling conditions of these districts — the underprivileged asked for opportunity, not charity. A few leaders had perceived the need of social betterment, but it remained for Samuel A. Barnett, a vicar of St. Jude ' s, in the East End of London, to act in behalf of those masses living, as he said, without knowledge, without hope, and almost without hea lth. Consequently, he issued an appeal for volunteers to begin a systematic, friendly work in the district. In answer to the call, a group of young Oxford and Cambridge men took up their residence at Toynbee Hall on Christmas Eve, 1884. Through simple methods, the first neighborhood house was to lay a precedent for all those social settlements which only fifty years later would be located on four con- tinents. In America, where the increasing flood of immigration added to the problem of the overpopulated cities, an even more definite need was experienced. Accounts of the work at Toynbee Hall had already reached across the waters until Stanton Coit with his friend, Charles Stover, in 1886, in- itiated a Neighborhood Guild in New York City as a meeting place for the young people of foreign-born parentage. The experiment was not entirely successful, but it increased the fame of Toynbee Hall as a pattern for neighborhood houses. Already a beloved leader was making plans for the con- tinuance of foreign social work in these United States. Jane Addams was to give not only a vivid personality coupled with a love for humanity, but also her talents where- by she succeeded where others had failed. When Miss Addams, after many years of educational preparation, had visited Toynbee Hall, England, she decided upon the field for her endeavor. Returning to America, she had proceeded to find within the most shabby immigrant districts of Chicago a building which could be used as a center for a high civic and social life. Thus was rented, on Halsted Street in 1889, a building which by the labor of many years would become known as the greatest democratic neighborhood center — Hull House. The work of Hull House has shown what can be and should be done among the foreign-born of our cities. A number of clubs have been formed with the young people who through music, dramatics, and social activities are given an opportunity for leadership within the community. The adults of foreign-birth in the neighborhood are likewise organized into clubs where their skills and folk arts may be assimilated into the growth of their adopted country. The immigrant is made happy in the knowledge that he has definite contributions to make to the enrichment of a nation which is just beginning to realize the two-fold purpose of the social settlement. In a review of these neighborhood centers, one naturally considers the Henry Street Scttlencnt which was established in 1893, in New York by Lillian Wald, who was the first to use the method of the Visiting Nurse Service in giving practical aid to the people of tlie district. Many would not come to the neighborhood house, hut through the nurses the House carries on its n;inistry in the hon es. The settle- ment is continually striving to bring genenLtif)rs, races, and interests together. Perhaps no norv fitting tribute could be paid to its success than that expressed by a sin-.ple neighbor in formulating her evaluation of the Settlement: I ' ll t( ll you what — what you get out of this house you can ' t take away in your pocket. At the present time more than six hundred neighbf)r- hood houses throughout the world testify to the purpose and accomplishm.ent of the greatest modern social institution. In our own city of Boston, a settlen ent was founded for the purpose of helping man help hirrself. I htwv investigated with a great deal of interest the work of the Morgan Mem.orial in the South End. This settlement credits Henry Morgan, who was himself a child of the poor, with having purchased in 1868, the original building on Shawmut Avenue where he toiled for the benefit of the reighborhood until his death when Dr. Helms took up the challenge of the work in 1895. This center is unique in its various departm.ents which are connected with the Goodwill Industries— work- shops which exist for the purpose of giving temporary employment to those who are out of work and without means. The materials used in the factory com.e from- con- tributors in and around Boston who save all kinds of waste articles which are remade and used to the utm.ost at Morgan Memorial. A Day Nursery is maintained for the neighbor- hood children who represent 32 different nationalities. Here the children receive expert care, and habits of cleanli- ness and health are firmly established. Then a 760 acre farm, located at South Athol, is provided during the summier for the undernourished children of the South Boston area. At Morgan Memorial special care is given wandering boys through the Goodwill Inn which was included in 1932. The Inn provides lodging, work, or future education as a means of building alert, useful citizens. In manifold ways the Morgan Memorial, representative of the other neighborhood centers, strives to bring the various races into harmony with one another as a preventative of crime and distress through lack of opportunity and under- standing. It is a service of encouraging those who have a wealth of natural heritage to take their place in our derr ocracy . The neighborhood settlements have worked on the principle of employment rather than direct relief in carrying a mes.sage of hope. The vision of service to humanity has found an outlet in the social settlements because long ago a Voice said, Love thy neighbor. Page Fifty-five THE TATTLETALE Although thr settlement movement owes its beginning :iiul from those who seek inform;ition concerning the develop- to the inspiration of its great leaders, still it has been througli the loyalty and interest of everyday folk llial tlie work lia.s progress( d. To the Morgan Memorial, for example, each Goodwill H:ig filled by Greater Boston residents has an estimated value of S.()2. A small amount to be sure, l)Ut because of the thousands of contributors, a huge under- taking is made possible. The settlements are given support from those who are able to bequeath large sums of money ment of the work. As individuals, we, too, may give financial aid: as a. group, we m;iv ci ' cate a public interest to advance this service of brotherly love. The blessing will b( two- fold. After all, classmates, if we live daily with the vision ever before us of lifting ourselves and our fellow men onto II higher plane, we shall have caught that spirit which has made the neighborhood house such a vital factor in the world today. Merchant Marine JEREMIAH WILLIAM Q-BRIEN The story of American ships and sailors is an ( pic of blue waters which seems singularly remote, almost unreal, to the later generations. A people with a native genius for seafaring won and held a brilliant supremacy through two centuries and then finally forsook this heritage of theirs. The period of rapid achievement was no more extra- ordinary than was its swift decline. A maritime race, whose topsails flecked every ocean, whcjse captains courageous from father to son had fought with pike and cannon to defend the freedom of the seas, turned inland to seek a different destiny, and took no more thought for the tall ships and rich cargoes which had eained so much renown for its flag. Vanished fleets and brave memories — a chroni- cle of America which had written its closing chapters before the Civil War! There will be other Yankee merchantmen in times to come, but never days like those when skippers sailed on uncharted seas in quest of unknown and mysteri- ous ports. The Pilgrim Fathers .settled in Plymouth because it offered a good harbor for boats — a place of profitable fishing. Off-shore fishing made them skilled adventurous seamen. That which they caught with hook and line, when dried and salted, was readily exchanged for other n:erchandise in Bermuda, Barbados, and Europe. The seventeenth century had not finish( d its course before New England ships were afloat on vvny Atlantic trade route, causing Sir Josiah Child, British n erchant and economi.st, to lament in 1668 that in his opinion was nothing more prejudicial, and in pnxspect, more dangerous to any mother kingdom than the increase of shipping in her colonies, plantations, or provinces. The wars of England, with France and Spain, spread turmoil upon the high seas during the greater part of th( eighteenth century: but with a tenacity of purpose, these briny forefathers increased their trade and nuiltiplied their ships in the face of every manner of adversity. Whaler, merchantman, and .slaver WTre training a host of incomparable seamen destined to harry the commerce of England under the newborn Stars and Stripes. The sailor men bcjthered their heads very little about taxation without representation, but whetted their anger with grudges more vital. They had been beggared and bullied and shot from the Bay of Biscay to Barbados, and no sooner was the Continental Congress ready to issue pri- vateering commissions and letters of marque than for them, it was up anchor and away to bag a Britisher. Scarcely had a shipmaster signaled his arrival with a deep freight of logwood, molasses, or sugar than he received orders to discharge with all speed and clear his decks for nounting heavier batteries, and slinging the hanurocks of a hundred eager privalcersiicn who had signed articles in the tavern rendezvous. The tiiid)ei-(Ml w; ,rehouses wer( filled with long-ton s and nine-iioundcrs, n uskets, 1 Iui:i1(tI)Uss( s, pistols, cutlasses, boarding pikes, hand grenades, toniaJiawks, and double-headed shot . The privateersmen of the Revolution played a larger part in winning the war th; ' ,n has been commonly recognized. This fact, however, was clearly perceived by the Englishmen of that era, as the London Spectator candidly admitted. In .such compelUng circun stances as these, nece.s.sity be- came the mother of achievement. There is nothing finer in American history than the dogged fortitude and high- hearted endeavor with which the merchant seamen returned to their woik aftei ' the Revolution and sought and found new markets for their wares. It was then that Salem played the conspicuous p; ' rt which was, for a geiiciTtioii, to over- shadow the activities of other Aircricrn seaports. Not for them the stupid monotony of co; twi c voyages if more hazardous ventures beckoned; there were havens and islands unvexed by trade where bold men might win profit, and perhaps fight for life and cargo. It was all grand rdventure, in fret, a.nd the word is aptly chosen to fit this ocean trade. The n crchant freighted his ship and sent her out to vanish from his ken, with the greater part of his savings, perlu ' i s, in goods and spices beneath her hatches. No cable n essa.ges kept bin) in touch with her, nor were there frequent letters from the u ' aster. Not until her .signal was displayed by the fluttering flags of the headland station at the ha.rbor nouth, could he know whether he had gained or lost a fortune. Soon after the Revolution, the spirit of conunercial exploration began to stir in poits other than Salem. The Oriental dignitaries in their silken robes graciously welcoired the foreign ship with the stra.ng( flag and showed a lively interest in the map spread upon th( cabin table, offering every facility to promote this r( w n arket for their silks and teas. Rough, stout-heai ' ted YajikcM- ' ikings ma..pped out new trade routes over which dangerous adventure took its toll of lives and cargoes. The bold and daring Yankee Page Fifty-six THE TATTLE TALE Merchantmen won the admiration and respect of sea dogs from Boston to Bombay. When the first Congress, under the new federal Con- stitution, assembled in 1789, a spirit of pride was manifest ed in the swift recovery, and the encouraging growth of the Merchant Marine. The Atlantic trade was therefore stimu- lated, and international communications, through National legislation, grew more frequent, thus creating a feeling for free trade and sailors ' rights. The impressment of American seamen in 1812 led the privateersmen to become bolder and more succ( ssful than they hod been during the Revolution. John Paul Jones and his Yankee privateers proved that as long as American vessels were better, faster, and more economically managed, they won a commanding share of the world ' s trade. The War of 1812 was the dividing line between two eras of salt water history: on one side lay the turbulent centuries of hazard, bloodshed, and piracy, of little ships and indomitable seamen who pursued their voyages in the reek of gunpowder and of merchant adventurers; on the other side were seas unvexed by privateer where great trade routes of the world were peaceful highways for the white-winged fleets of all nations. The Atlantic packet was the earliest liner; she made regular sailings and carried freight and passengers instead of trading on her owner ' s account as was the ancient custom. England, frankly confessing herself beaten and unable to compete with such ships as these, changed her attitude from hostility to admiration. Meanwhile, the era of the matchless clipper had arrived, and it was one of those ships which achieved the fastest Atlantic passage ever made by a vessel under sail. The masters and officers, who handled these ships with such magnificent success, were true-blue American scan en, inspired by th( finest traditions, successors of the privateersiren of 1812. At this tim( tlie whaler m;i(le its appearance, and these deep-sea liuntei-s made nn,utical history after their own fashion, ' ilie countless episodes of fragile boats, smashed by fighting wliales, would fill a vohuee. Un whales were becoming scarce, and New iMigland capital preferred other forms of investment. The Icisuicly old sailing craft was succeeded by the steam whaler, with tlie explosive bomb. Roving whaler and armed l ast liidiainen, i)lunging packet ship and stately clippei ' , they served their appointed days and passed on their several courses to become mere memories as shadowy and unsubstantial as the gleam of their own topsails when seen at twilight. The souls of their sailors have fled to Fiddler ' s Green where all dead mariners go. They were of the old merchant marine which con- tributed som ething fine and imperishable to the story of the United States. Today, in our mechanical age, the profession of marine engineering is one which offers, perhaps in a greater degree than any other, unlimited scope for the development and exercise of nautical ability, and had Alexander been an engineer in the present day, he would have no occasion to deplore the lack of other worlds to conquer. There is perhaps no profession in which a man ' s success depends more on himself, for no matter how much family or friendly influence he may have in assisting him to good app(nntm( nts, unless he has fitted himself to fill them creditably, he is almost certain to fail and his place l)e taken by one who, starting possibly without influence, will have created influence by virtue of his good character, abihty, and sheer hard work. Chemistry ROBERT SCHULTHEISS One of the most important, romantic, and least under- stood subjects in our world today is chemistry. Every plant, animal, every living thing is a chemical phenomenon; all gases, liquids, and the soUds on the earth, in the cosmic dust, and in the far off starry heavers are first of all chemicals. Not so many years ago, we came to the conclusion that we had reached the rock-bottom in the chemical world of matter and elements; these were everlasting and eternal. We gave them names, called it good and considered it final, but we — little wisps of consciousness that we are, here today and gone tomorrow — have in this way missed many little concepts because of the shortness of our lives. We have been too willing and ready to call things everlasting because we could not see the beginning or the end; we were too much disposed to confuse geologic age with eternity. The philosophy of chemistry teaches us humihty; the m ore we study, the more we understand and the loftier the heights we scale, the greater are the mysteries and romances beyond. Let us consider atoms, which are the smallest particles of any of the eighty-odd elem.ents. We find in each atom something similar to our .solar system, with a nucleous of positive charges of electricity surrounding which are a given number of negative charges or elections that behave like so many planets. And yet so small are they that if we were to set all the inhabitants of the earth to counting the atoms in a cubic centimeter of air — a mere thimbleful in which they are not at all crowded together — and were to have all the people count three a second, continuously working day and night, it would take them years to finisli the job. If we look hard enough, with the eyes of our nnnds, we seem to sense a certain uniformity of system in all the infinities, in the great and in the small, and even in the ways of people and things. We need not, however, strive for the outer- most reaches of these mysteries or use our imagination to find similar things in chemistry. There is the term catalysis, which is one of the most human manifestations of matter. How often has it happened to m.any of us! We have been somewhere with friends, having a dull time of it, when suddenly somieone appears. He tells a few jokes, makes fun of himself, is evidently glad to be there, and straight- Page Fifty-seven THE TATTLE TALE wny we catch thv spirit unci b( gin to enjoy ourselves and count the occasion as a rare one. How did it happen? What (lid lie do? A ' ell, let us say he catalyzed us; that is, he had that certain something which brought about the desired change. Now chemistry changes industiies in just that same manner, and when we begin to study chemistry, we find these sudden changes that take place in the presence of sometimes exceedingly miinute quantities of a seemingly foreign sub- stance without which we cannot succeed in our under- takings. As an example of how chemistry changes industry ther( is the story of several brothers whose father and grand- father had rrade soap, a good laundry soap. They had a formula, good forerren, and they m.ade a decent living. The boys wert to college, thanks to their father ' s provident habits and his ambitions for them. By the time they were back again and ready to work, the father died. Then they talked things over. Each was ambitious for himself, and while the business was large enought to provide for one fan ily, here were several in prospect and the head of each hopii g to si ' tisfy his individual needs. Should one take the establ shn er.t and the others rseek other occupations, or should they all rrake the business large enough to take care of them? They decied on the latter course, and their first step was to find a competent chemist to introduce scientific control into the work. Soon they were using vegetable fats along with beef suet and mutton tallow. They ceased to produce by rule thumb, they began to buy on specifications, and to manufacture under control. They added new prod- ucts; the firm became a leader in quality goods and now it is an imn (Tse concern with world-wide trade. It was chemis- try along with good business acumen that made the change. Never would they have grown if they had clung to the old methods. Enough support of research with the r ' ght man might easily bring about many more changes in business, because chemistry looks into the future and seeks to build up the great store of knowledge so that the present genera- tions may profit from, the preceding ones. Any man who is satisfied with being merely up to date is not fit to administer a chemical industry; every industry is more or less a changing chen ical industry. The only safe place is ahead of the gam.e. A number of years ago two gentlemen traveling from Boston to New York had dinner together on the train. One was head of a great department store and the other was a well-known chemist. I am one of those persons, said the merchant, whose business your profession doesn ' t touch. Ed like to try, said the chemist. In fact if you will let me n ake a report on your store, and if you cannot save more tlutn vy fee every year, I ' ll provide the best dinner I can for you. If you can find that my examination of your place has really been worth while, then you can pay for the dinner. It was j jireed, : nd the survey showed how by buying on specification, paper, twine, soap, cleansing powders, and all such odds and ends, every one essentially a chemical product, the annual saving would be more than four times the chemist ' s fee. The m( rchant paid for the dinner, and it was proved that the chen ist ' s knowledge was the catalyst for better business. There is another possibility for a change, in the future. It is complex, bewildering, and likely to be full of dissapoint- ments, but none the less it is sure to appear in time. One of the unsolved riddles in chemistry is the pn cise constitution of a lump of coal. There are combinations of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen that go to pieces as soon as we attempt to analyze their composition. Suppose, then, som.e chemist were to discover a method of changing bi- tuminous coal into a hquid. If this method should become economically possible, we should have liquid fuel. No more jockeying for position among the nations to secure their petroleum supplies. No more stoking, no more smoke nor cinders, no more worrying about the waning supply of petroleum, and no more coal bins. Chemistry has no more than just begun to do work for people. It has unlimited possibilities. As for the production of iron we are still in the middle ages. The farmers have not yet been told all there is to know about fertilizers and crops. It is therefore, a chemical engineer ' s business to turn the theoretical into the practical, and this is still awaiting de- velopment. Some of these discoveries are made by accidents. In the Badische Works in Germany when they were working on the synthesis of indigo, they needed an intermediate material, phthalic acid. It was expensive, but they believed that they should be able to obtain it by treating naphthalene (which is the white tar product used for making mothballs) with fuming sulphuric acid or oleum. The theory was all right; there was every known reason why it should work; but nevertheless, it did not. Neither heat nor pressure, nor any other stratagem could be made to bring about the desired result. That was little reason for them to give up the effort, but it was disheartening to meet failure after failure with every attempt. One day, while one of these experiments was in process, a laboratory boy was told to take a reading from the ther- mometer. He was a clumsy lad, and he broke the instru- ment so that a few drops of mercury fell into the mass. Straightway something happened: the stuff began to seeth and labor, and within a short time there was no naphthalene left, the container was full of the desired phthalic acid. Mercury proved to be the catalyst. We might continue indefinitely telling stories and incidents of chemistry which effects remarkable changes in the process of hfe, but it is evident that the field is immense, amazing, bewildering, romantic, exciting — and we have uncovered only a tiny edge of the great pall of the unknown which spreads over it all. Page Fifty-eight THE T A T T L E T A L E Which Path MARGARET WHITE Today, my classmates, mo are at the crossroads! The numerous signs pointing to different paths confuse us, and we know not which to take. Our diplomas are at hand; carefree days of school life are behind us; goals lie before us. We are alone — alone to face some of those realities about which we have heard. Those who go to college will con- tinue their scholastic education, and gather new experi- ences before their time for a decision comes, but to many of us who must now set out to adjust ourselves to a work-a- day world, the question arises: What chance have I to make good? Perhaps the chance that the 1937 class of Attleboro High School had will be an assistance in this question. Let us look at the statistics for the one hundred and fifty-seven graduates of our last year ' s class. Those who attended various colleges were: Liberal Arts and Technical Colleges, 20; Teachers College, 2; Business School or College, 8; Junior College, only 1; School of Dentistry, 1; Training School, 5; Preparatory School, 6; P. G. Work, 3; Diesel Engineering School, only 1; Jewelry Trade School, 1 ; C. C. C, 1 ; Work, 85; Married, 1 ; At home, 10; and Unaccounted for, 12. A few years ago our parents faced the sam.e problem which is so real to us today. They found the challenge and met it; the challenge is ten times greater today. Twenty- five years ago, jobs were plentiful and young boys and girls did not enter high school in great numbers, but obtained positions shortly after leaving grammar schools. The standard of living was different. Inventions that took the place of hands in our factories, farms and even homes were just being recognized by our parents. They had no lux- uries but they had to struggle, and in struggling, they be- came strong. Because they knew how hard the .struggle was, they said, Our children shall not suffer as we have. They shall have a chance to live. We are going to give them the best education money can buy. Then forgetting that when struggle ceases, men cea.se to be men they heaped the advantages onto their children, but by doing .so, they deprived them of their birthright — the right to face life and its problems with clear heads and a strong determination. As a result, pupils today are attending high schools for these two reasons: (1) they desire a higher education; (2) they cannot obtain work; hence, rather than do nothing they come to school. What is the reason that so many are unable to gain a position? True, there is a scarcity of jobs due to depression, yet in the vacancies that exist the employers prefer college graduates ; these same openings were once available to high school students. In talking with several business men of Attleboro, I have found that these men like a person who has had a few knocks in life. They hire a man not because he is a friend of Mr. Jones, President of the Chain Stores, but because he is a friend of someone who knows him well and can vouch for his character! Our business men hire people because they have personahty, ability to get along with people, interest and skill in their work, high morals and well kept appearance. They hire a person because he has the ability to think! This is why the college graduate is pre- ferred to the high school student. He has had more of a chance to gain a broader knowledge of many subjects. Too many of us this is discouraging news since our education ends tonight, but Clara Savage Littledale gives the following advice to high school seniors: If you can get along easily and pleasantly with other people, you have one of the prize assets for success in business and professional life. The very brilliant person who can ' t get along with others is not so apt to go ahead as is the one who may be less brilliant but more agreeable. And that doesn ' t mean you have to be a ' yes-man ' or even tiresomely jovial, but it does mean that you will be considerate, fair, tolerant, generous, and sympathetic, with other people. In general, it is a very good plan and one which few young persons with their first jobs can seem to follow — to be slightly impersonal in official relationships, agreeable, considerate, polite, but not on intimate terms. We must not be misled by the idea that success can be attained by lucky breaks, influential pull, and aid from others. True, our friends will aid us in every possible way, we will often seek the advice of others but that does not give us the right to sit back and let others carve our career. We must learn to depend upon ourselves. The load is ours and we must do the pulling. We must adjust ourselves to the world as we find it and not wait until the world adjusts itself to our liking; it never does. Perhaps the story of Fred will illustrate the point. Fred went to college to prepare for a white-collar job. It was financially difficult for his parents to see him through, but even during the first year of depression they managed to scrape together the tuition. When Fred came hpme for vacations, he went to many places and had a number of hometown friends to take up his free moments. Back at college there were sports, activities and good times. When he graduated, he had a good many happy mem- ories of his college career. He bade his friends farewell and went back home. He was aware that economic con- ditions were not at their best, but he firmly believed he had the edge on the relentless job hunters who left high school. Hadn ' t he prepared for a white-collar job? Fred spent his days in the porch hammock, idly reading and wondering why his friends did not seem the same as they had when he was in college. Did they expect him to go out and accept any job? Something ' U turn up, Fred would tell them when they made inquiries about him. I ' m waiting for an opening in the city. Might as well take it easy now. In moments of serious concentration, he tried to take stock of himself. Yes, he believed he must wait for the big chance to come along. It might take time, but it would come — what if it didn ' t? Page Fifty-nine THE TATTLETALE He began to study his fripnds; he recalled that many of them had the sair( ideal ph ns as h( . Most of ihcni were working at jol)s. They didn ' t talk about theii- plans ;uiy longer. Perhaps tiiey were ashamed to admit failure or were they merely williD to accept any honorable job until they found a better, Fred wondered. True, they were dniii r sdiiiething a.bout their hopes; he was not. They had gained a foot-hold; he had not. Jim, for instance, worked long hours in a store; he wanted to be an accountant. He always had a head for figures and received good marks in the commercial courses at high school. At the present tim.e he was taking some correspondence courses in that very subject. Money he m.ade at the store paid his way. There were rumors that he was to be made an assistant manager of one of the chain stores when business was a little better. Jim was on his way. Thus Fred cnn e to his sen.scs. Th( do-nothing era got under his skin. He began to despise laziness and forced leisure. He wanted action and plenty of it. He joined the army of job-hunters, mingled with the group that had left high school. Fred found a place as a contractor ' s helper. He mixed cement, shoveled gravel, applied hammer to nail, but lie did not wear the white collar. He was working and he took the ribbing from his friends in his stiidc. Four years of college for a trough of lime, he heard on every side. What good did it do you, Fred, this college education ' . ' Ami Fred would answer: Fm working. Fm helping to build houses. What I learned in college is still in my head. Some day I ' ll have a chance to use it. Right now Fm at the very bottom. I won ' t always be there. Sooner or later there ' ll be an opportunity and I ' ll be on the spot to grab it. Then I can get my white collar out of the drawer! Thus Fred realized by the examples of others that the world would not come to his hammock on the porch and hand him fame, fortune and happiness. He found that happiness is earned. He went out, took his place in the moving panorama of life and marched to victory. We, too, like Fred, will take our place in the march of success. Sometimes the path will be difficult and we may stumble, but we will not fall! Thus, we ' ll continue onward removing all obstacles, big or small, and eventually we will win the prize — success. Education of Women MARGARET GLENCROSS In 1833, only one hundred and five years ago, Oberlin College opened its doors to women. It stated as its object the elevation of female character by bringing within the reach of the misjudged and neglected sex, all the instructive privileges which hitherto have unreasonably distitiguished the leading sex from theirs. Strange as it may seem to us who take education of women for granted, protests arose. Higher education for women was not regarded as either necessary or desirable. Women ' s place was in the home and learning was a dangerous thing. Up to this time a few girls, such as Lucinda Foot who wished to go to Yale had prepared themselves for college by studying their brothers ' les.sons only to be denied entrance. Following Oberlin ' s lead, other colleges gradually began to admit women until now, womicn attend about six hundred colleges and universities in the United States and make up nearly half the population of the.se higher educational institutions. Naturally, with the increased enrollment of girls, the types of girls and their objectives changed. The first girls were interested in education for education ' s sake, with little, if any, thought of the social world. For some years prior to the depression,, another type appeared who began to replace the studious sisters; she attended college only because it was the social thing to do. Miss Alzada Comstock, professor of economics at Mount Holyoke, gives us an apt description of this type in the following: She panted up at the last po.ssible moment, with the intention of beating the secretary or registrar by a few points in the game of getting students back for the first class of the term. As the gong sounded at the end of that term, she rushed away in a racing taxi with a chorus of six-year whoops for joy. As for what happened between the first gong of the term and the last, that was up to the professor. His duty was to entertain and to be smart about it. The teacher who could not keep the students awake who had returned on the morning milk-train after a week-end at Cambridge or Hanover was an incompetent. The student ' s duty was hmited to punching — metaphorically — the time clock, sit- ing in her classroom seat with a critical attitude toward the entertainment offered, and at last fulfilling the minimum for a degree which, like the foreign labels on her suitcase, would prove that she had been places and done things. While profe.ssors and others in educational circles often criticised the colleges for the emphasis placed on all social activities, some of the people of this country took the op- posite view, saying that a college isolated the girl from society. A few even went so far as to say that this education en- courages a bitter senseless feud between sexes, which, in turn, encourages marriage failures and a low rate of re- production. Said ' illis Ballinger, A female college is nothing Init a spinster factcny — turning out products that frighten the average young man. This theory is not borne out by the statements of others closely connected with college life. From these it would seem that from the set of sun until as far into the night as the local curfew permits, a women ' s college campus is thick with young men who arrive in open cars from anywhere within a radius of a hun- dred miles. Concerning the once much discussed question of marriage or a career, the girl of yesterday usually chose a career, while the modern miss prefers marriage. Aiding her in her ambition to get her man, extra-curricula ac- tivities in colleges have better equipped her by developing such talents as bridge-playing, dancing, driving, walking, and, unexpectedly, talking! Page Sixty THE TATTLETALE We see in Germany an extreme example of this prejudice against college education for women b( cause it is thought to be detrimental to the fulfillment of their natural function — homemaking. Except for one brief period following the World War, women have always been raised under the standard of Church, Kitchen, and Children. Many worren are, unfortunately, forced to work in factories or as domestic servants because there simply are not enough husbands to go around. There, only one girl to nine boys is matriculated in the universities. This poor girl does not dare enter a profession, for she knows she will be shunned by all, and her social standing will take a definite decline. As Herr Hess remarks, It is the natural right of men to lule. So why educate women? We have only to contrast this condition of women in Germany with that in United States to realize why higher education of wom-en is so im portant to us all. By educating the future mothers, we gain a more cultured background for the average home life. The teachers of both boys and girls in primary and secondary schools are women. In the important field of sociology, trained won en from our colleges have made extraordinary progress. Wom en ' s influence has been felt already in the field of politics. Even aviation has felt the woman ' s touch, in the person of Am.elia Earhart. As an example of what women can aspire to in the field of science, we can silei tly point to Madame Curie. Today there are 350,000 women in colleges and univer- sities. Although this seem.s like a large number, it does not m.ean that any girl can get into college. We have already found, am.ong ourselves, that even with high grades, it is difficult to enter a college. Because of the great munber of applicants, the colleges have raised ihcir re(iuirements until now it is necessary to show personal interest in school work as well as giades which will, to a certain degree, guarantee •success in college work. Economic conditions in the coun- try as well as the colleges themselves, are limiting the ambition of girls for higher education. As one authority on this subject says, bill-paying fathers are tightening their belts and sending to college only the girls who evidence positive and active intellectual ability. Even while she is still in college the girl of this di ' pression generation is de- veloping a new seriousness, or better, reverting to an interest in the world about her which no college generation has shown .since the World War. Along with this change of attitude on the part of the girl, a change in the aims of education for women has come. No longer is she trying primarily to fit herself for one of the careers in which she will have to compete with men who must earn a living for themselves and their families. Now she seems to be seeking a philosophy in life which will direct her thinking. Colleges are trying to develop girls with more generous sympathies, less prejudiced minds, a more active interest in current affairs, and a higher appreciation of art, music, and literature. Much as we dishke to admit it, America ' s playtime seems to be over. It is fitting that the ever increasing number of women should be trained by colleges and universities to face problems and accept responsibilities in a mature manner. iaiion . . C O R many years a man has been associated with. the Attlehoro Hi h School who has won his way into the hearts of all the students. That man is Mr. John Benson, who plans to retire next Fall. He has rendered many services, hein ever ready to aid us with a kind word and cheery smile. To him, who has made our routine happier, we wish at this time to ex- tend our gratitude and appreciation.

Jootlja[[ This has been an outstanding year for football at Attleboro High School. There were many highlights of the season, and one of the most outstanding was the tie game that the gritty A. H. S. team played with the boys from the big city of Quincy. One of the most unusual games of the season was that which was scheduled with St. Mary ' s of Milford. This was called off in the middle of the third period with Attleboro leading 7-0, and it was called no game . It is seldom that football games are called off when the game has once begun, but due to the dangerous condition of the field Coach Tozier called off the game. The North game this year ended in a 6-6 tie. This score let everyone enjoy his turkey dinner as neither side lost and both sides were satisfied. This year ' s lettermen are as follows: Capt. Dave Niven, Bob Littleton, Art Hinds, Tom Tatarian, Bit McConnell, Lee Forget, Bill Flynn, Norm LaCroix, Andy Voikos, Jim Cassidy, Doug Lapham, Tiny Bandilli, Tony LaNinfa, Bob Keeler and Ray Whitehead. The team won three games, tied three, and lost one. Ray Franklin was elected captain for the coming year and we wish him all the luck in the world.

Another banner year was enjoyed in the boy.s ' basketball seaspn; they almost attained the siime go;d as did last year ' s team — the Tech Tournament. They had a play-off game with New Bedford High for the right to repre.sent Bristol County in the tournament, but they were defeated 46-42 in the mo.st exciting game of basketball ever witnessed by the fans of this district. The team was pleasantly surprised when the letters were awarded. M. I. T. medals were given out for a high athletic record. Attleboro defeated North twice in two fast and exciting games; and this alone was enough to make the season a succe.s.sful one. Those receiving letters this year were Andy Voikos, Eddie Lee, Jim Cas.sidy, Bill Flynn, Bob Maynard, and Red Madden. Shorty Lee, Charlie Markman, Francis Maguire, and Red Madden will form the nucleus of a good team for the coming season, and their cry at this early date is On to Tech. We hope the boys can do it.

It has been a long time since we saw the A. H. S. band even sitting at the North game, but we ' ve been promised by Mr. Zambarano that they will be in full glory on Thanksgiving Day.
