It is not in our power to go back and relive the events that took place during this inter¬ lude. It is not in our power to cancel the mistakes we have made. It is, however, our privilege and our intention to preserve in the pages that follow the memories of treasured days in Bellingham High School Dedication To one who unfalteringly accepted the task of taking under supervision a class in its Senior year—to one who was always willing to give a helping hand and even more when necessary— to one who controlled, curbed, and directed our actions into the proper channels we wish to inscribe the con¬ tents of this book. With gratitude and sincere respect, we, the Senior Class of Bellingham High School, dedi¬ cate our year book ' Epilogue ' to Miss Margaret C. Mahoney, class advisor and trusted friend. In grateful tribute to those who helped us lay the foundation of o ur education — our Superintendent, Mr. Jerome P. Fogwell; our Principal, Mr. Edward F. Collins; and our Faculty. MR. EDWARD F.

Epilogue Time ' s rarest gifts are too soon taken from us. Inevitably, our school career ends. All the little things that enrich school life are soon to be no longer ours; i.e. in the actuality. However in memory, they will remain as priceless possessions, for we shall forever carry in our hearts the recollec¬ tions of these four years which have been called perhaps only too truly, the happiest of our lives! Nevertheless, the recollections will not be only in our hearts—they will be inscribed indelibly and forever on the pages of this book. It was with this purpose in mind—the purpose of doing the utmost to retain these happy memories—that the Senior Class conducted a class meeting early in the school year in order to elect those whom they trusted to be most capable of recording for all time the events and people who together, spell out their four years at Bellingham High School. The meeting had as its result the selections of the following people who endeavored to re-create in these pages the most vivid and memorable minutes of the years spent here: Editor-in-chief Associate Editor CONSTANCE GODIN CHARLES MICHALOWSKI Business Manager Art and Photography Sports Editor EMILE POULIOT JULIETTE COLLAMATI LUCIEN BRUNETTI ROMEO SWECK Literary Staff Assistants LENORE DeJONY CLAIRE FITZPATRICK JANET BROWN ALICE CARRIER CLAIRE GUYETTE WYMAN COOK HELEN BUCKLEY Oflma _Mater Tune: Juanita Thy songs are loyal, Courageous, true, and strong, Hear them supporting thy cause in song. On the field of contest thy task is never done, Until, draped in glory, the strife is won. Chorus Our school, Bellingham High School, keep thy banner waving high, So that, down through the ages, her fame shall never die. When all seems darkest and our hopes seem to be gone, Fight for our high school; put the pressure on. With undying spirit, strive to even-up the score, And when the game is ended, have victory in store. NORMAN ERNEST BELCHER Belch Cool, calm, collected and tactful.

ALBERT DORVAL .JOHN TUTTLE .LLOYD RHODES j MILDRED COWEN ) CONSTANCE REMILLARD Glass Gtistorij As the orchestra began to play the march that would rhythmatically beat out the his¬ tory of our class, marching feet could be heard coming closer and closer to the stage. This was the class of 1942, the class which had four years ago began high school with strange and puzzled minds. The music from the orchestra seemed to harmonize perfectly with the thoughts of the Seniors. Swiftly they recalled the important events that made each year of high school out¬ standing. Our Freshmen year could be compared to the Call to Arms , that was being musically portrayed by the school orchestra. As we advanced into high school life we elected our first class officers under the supervision of Mr. Keough. Fernand Croteau was elected president, Juliette Collamati— vice-president, Constance Codin—secretary and Romeo Sweck as treasurer. Long will we remember the never-ending periods of Ancient History while other mem¬ ories portraying the adventures of the brave Ivanhoe of Literature will always stand out in our mind. As the rhymic beat of the music swiftly changed to a sharp staccato, our thoughts just as swiftly leaped to the following Sep¬ tember where as Sophomores, we found our¬ selves rushing lickety-split into room ten. Miss Ward quickly calmed us down long enough to select our class officers for the coming year. Kadzemiez Michalowski was elected president, Mary Foley—vice-pre¬ sident, Romeo Sweck— secretary and the late Irene Drapeau as treasurer. Soon the time arrived to choose our class rings. How happy we were to show the other students our choice. As the days passed on our debits and credits in Bookkeeping seem¬ ed to balance more frequently, while the nouns and pronouns in Latin became more familiar to us. Even the speed and accuracy, so needed in typing, was begin¬ ning to enter our fingers. High school sub¬ jects were not so hard after all! We all looked forward with excitement and anxiety to our first dance, the Valentine Dance. With plenty of encouragement from the upper-classmen combined with the hard work of our own classmates the dance turned out to be a huge success. Faintly now, we could hear the simple tunes streaming forth from the orchestra. These simple tunes were introducing strong and forceful measures which would reflect our approaching year of high school, the Junior year. The year which would reach the climatic point in our school work and in this way forming the back-bone of our education. Of course, we would not have realized this important moment so keenly without the wise advise of Mr. Granger. Mr. Granger, being our class advisor was the greatest help our class had to reach the goal that was now drawing closer. After considerable thought toward the more cap¬ able members of the class, Romeo Collamati was elected president, Juliette Collamati, vice-president—Lenore DeJony, secretary and Normand Bel isle, treasurer. Plans for a Halloween Dance were soon underway. The profitable returns from this dance rewarded us for our hard work. Soon the Junior Prom was being thought over, very casually at first, but as time fled by our thoughts began to materalize. Dia¬ grams were designed by the head of the decorating committee and tickets were printed. Everybody was busy doing some kind of work. On the night of May 2nd, 1941, the veil of industry lifted and behold! there before us was the finished product. A hall beautifully decorated with maypole, streamers, and maybaskets and a happy group of young people dancing to the music of Harington ' s New Englanders . The school orchestra strangely took pos¬ session of our thoughts once again and led them clearly through our last year of high school. Every little detail of that year stood plainly before us, but particularly the most important ones. How fortunate we were to be given Miss Mahoney as our class advisor. Under her supervision we selected our last class officers. Norman Belcher, president— Mary Foley, vice-president — Constance Codin, secretary and Helen Buckley as treasurer. We studied hard for several months until talk about the Christmas Dance interrupted this scholarly silence. With the generous interest of the lower classmen we conducted a successful dance. Realizing that our funds were not suf¬ ficient for meeting the expenses of Gradu¬ ation Week , we decided to conduct several affairs. The most successful ones were the Defense Bond Raffle, Whist Party and Beano. Finally, the great problem of the Epilogue confronted us. Our busy fingers flew from one typewriter key to the other forming memories that would some day bring us happiness. The final exams were here and’ with them appeared the long and rocky road of study. All frolicking and fooling were put aside for a week of seemingly hard and tedious work. As the music approached its climatic beauty we could visualize ourselves tak ng a firm grip on our goal—OUR DIPLOMA Then came our final social of our high school life. The Senior Hop! The soft rustle of the evening gowns easily could have been mistaken for gentle summer zephyers that accompanies a beautiful garden setting. Such a setting was accomplished by the capable hands of the decorating committee. The highlights of the evening were c mmed as we sorrowfully sang our Alma Mater Song, but this sorrow was strangely mingled with the joy of memories to come. These four years of hard work combined with happiness are gone forever, but the spirit which was born within these years will live in the hearts of every one of us, and will lead us toward a path that is now buried under the turmoil and destruction of war. However, we will give to the future all that she may need to help make the way clear again so that all paths leading toward her will be those of freedom and happiness. We, the students of the class of 1942, are the first to achieve the whole four years of high school education in Bellingham High School; consequently, we are the leaders of a great line of graduates to come. May we always prove ourselves worthy of this great honor. As the years go by, may an occasional glance at our Class History bring forth in our memories a spark of happiness and a secret longing for the years that had such a great part in making us the kind of Americans that America sants! GMcc @Lrr i er, — — Glass (Prook ropnecij As I sat in the heat of my hotel room that June day, my thoughts wandered back to the day of my graduation from Bellingham High School. The events of that day stood out clearly in my mind as I wandered list¬ lessly to the window and gazed at the mil¬ ling throngs below. What had become of my former classmates? was the question uppermost in my thoughts. How pleasant it would be if I could see them now. How¬ ever, even these thoughts failed to relieve me of my discomfort. I set out for the beach where I hoped to find a cool place to rest. I finally found a secluded spot on the shore beneath the shade of a huge palm tree. I took the car robe from the trunk and carefully spread it out on the sandy beach and lay down. Lulled by the soft lapping of the sea on the shore, I soon drifted off into the arms of Morpheus. A cool breeze seemed to awaken me. With a shiver I sat up and looked around with awe. I was floating in the air among the fleecy clouds. The robe which I had so carefully spread out on the beach was now carrying me through the air at a fast rate of speed. I looked around in despair. Where was I, and where was I going? Presently I passed over a ballfield and in the pitcher ' s box I saw Norman Belcher standing straight and tall. He was playing with the undefeated Boston Red Sox. How cool and calm he was in handling that siz¬ zling pellet. Even such noteworthy old- timers as Ted Williams, Jimmy Foxx, and the DiMaggio Brothers were held spell¬ bound by the delivery of the man on the mound. Well, at least my travels were going to be pleasant, I thought. As I breezed by the reporter ' s box, I noticed that Lucien Brunetti, renowned sports writer was getting first-hand informa¬ tion for his sports column in the New York Times. Leaving the ballfield behind I saw in the distance what appeared to be an open-air concert hall. My earnest desire to go in that direction made me aware that by deep concentration I could control the course and speed of my aerial sailboat. I steered in the direction of the band stand which was sur¬ rounded by an admiring group. I was just in time to hear Billie Buckley and his Bugle Boy Band go into their last number. This number, I learned, was one of Billie ' s own compositions called You ' ll Be Sorry! . I next sailed away in the direction of a four-lane state highway and ahead I noticed a streamlined sports roadster. I strained all my powers of concentration for sufficient speed to overtake the car. How on earth can there be such speed? I asked myself. I found my answer in the driver who was non other than Romeo Sweck. Romeo just recently has attained the coveted position as State Speed Regulator. Since his appoint¬ ment, all speed limitations have been abolished. Unwilling to compete with such speed, I veered to the right over a wooded section and soon I came to the entrance of a huge hospital. The hospital motto stood out clearly in large letters on the front of the entrance All Mental and Physical Ills Cured . Proceeding along at third story level, I saw Lenore de Jony comforting the pain-racked patients who looked trustingly up at her from their small wooden beds. A loud backfire in this quiet hospital zone attracted my attention to the drive below. The source of the noise was an outmoded car of faded blue. There beside the raised hood of the motor stood super-mechanic Claire Fitzpatrick. Claire, as I understand it, took up the solving of the intricacies of the motor car after she failed to get farther than Medway in her cross-country tour. There she stood with a puzzled look on her face. I wonder if it could have been one of the tires, she said. I had barely ascended to cruising range again when I heard a roar and turned around. There in a beautiful silver-winged plane was Charlie Michalowski flying his plane high to get that ' heavenly feeling. ' The vacuum created by the fast-moving plane caused me to drop suddenly. Before I could regain my bearings, I found myself meandering among the skyskrapers of New York City. As I drifted by an open window of the telephone exchange I caught a glimpse of Mary Foley busily engaged in an¬ swering calls upon a flashing switchboard. Mary ' s reputation for swiftness in answer¬ ing calls is unequalled. Fearing that steering complications might set in, I raised my magic carpet above the roof tops. The strains of soft music brought my attention to the roof garden of the Waldorf Astoria where the ' 400 ' had con¬ gregated. The fact that the patrons and guests were obviously enjoying themselves proved that the pleasing personality of Claire Vanasse, hotel hostess, had per¬ meated the gathering. My aerial plane next carried me over the top of the Chrysler building in time to hear Murlin Henderson broadcast to the world at large the maneuvers of the 10th division of the U. S. Army Air Corps. Because I had neither the training nor the desire to engage in aerial stunts, I left the field open to the army. Only a short time elapsed between the roar of planes and the roar of high-powered racing cars. As I swooped over the speed¬ way, the leading car caught my attention. It was painted a brilliant red with green wheels. In the driver ' s seat sat Emil Pouliot, keenly alert to any danger that might arise. How he had changed! Near the railing watching with fear-ridden eyes stood Nurse Janet Brown. Her clenched fists belied the calmness of her face. Not until Emil had safely crossed the finish line did she relax. From there I ' ' traveled for hours in a Nor therly direction. I pulled my robe snug- gly about me for I had now reached the snow-capped peak of Mount Washington. A close-up view of the ski run revealed Romeo Collamati, one arm in a sling, trying to establish a new world record. So far, judging from appearances, his attempts had been unsuccessful. Romeo had learned to ski while a student in Bellingham High School, in fact, this was often the cause of his absence from school. I followed the run to the bottom where a small coffee shop came into view. The de¬ licious aroma of coffee and hot toasted buns drew me unresistingly to the inside. There in a freshly-starched uniform stood Claire Cuyette unconcernedly demonstrating her culinary art before an admiring audience. On my return trip from New Hampshire, I spied an endless row of outdoor bowling alleys. I changed my course so as to be able to approach these alleys from the front. As I drew nearer, I observed the following writ¬ ing on the arched entrance, Recreation Center of Massachusetts—500 alleys—no waiting—Norman Bel isle, owner-operator. Staying at this low altitude, I cruised along in the direction of home. A group of small boys standing in admiration in front of a billboard made me curious to find out the cause of their interest. I banked my wingless craft in order to get a better view of the billboard poster. There, surrounded by a bevy of beautiful girls, stood Eddie Chamberland. His huge shoulders, nanow hips, and rippling muscles, were a very per¬ suasive advertisement tor the Physical Culture School he represented. Ahead of me loomed a stately college of red brick. On the campus below I discerned the nimble Juliette Callamati actively en¬ gaged in coaching her girls in the popular sport of field hockey. Another familiar face came into view as I coasted over the boy ' s athletic field. Arthur Caron was heatedly shouting to his football squad, Come on, you creampuffs make this field look like a pastry counter. Fearing that he might next turn his wrath on me, I sped across the college premises, to the ' Campus Beauty Shoppe ' , owned and operated by Alice Carrier and Vivienne Bel isle. Their fame for turning out person¬ ality girls is unequalled. Satisfied that the Class of ' 42 was well represented in this section, I directed my course toward dear old Bellingham. Surely some of my former classmates still lived there, I thought. As I flew over the top of the North Bellingham School House, a knot of pupils clustering around a central figure made me dip low to see who it was. Beneath the snow-white hair and horned rimmed glasses I recognized Helen Buckley. As I sat looking on to this pleasant scene, a streamlined pick-up truck of bright yellow went streaking by below me, and I eagerly CLASS PROPHECY—(Continued) went in chase of it. It was the service truck of the Bellingham Water Department. Wyman Cook, efficient superintendent of the water works, had his well-deserved nick¬ name printed on the truck door, “Standpipe Cook, at your service. Continuing on through the Center to¬ wards the South, a bird ' s eye view of Scott Hill Road disclosed a group of highway workers busy with the steam shovels, steam rollers, trucks and other equipment com¬ pleting the project for a four-lane highway between Bellingham Center to Crooks Corner. John Kozak, newly - appointed Superintendent of Streets, was seeing to it that the project was completed as per schedule. I reached South Bellingham in time to see the High School pupils filing up to the Church door where Jean Pelland, now Parish Pastor, stood on the front door step to insure against any possible disturbance. Realizing that I had seen them all, I re¬ versed my direction. As I did so, a fog seemed to envelope me. Down below I saw the sea. How angrily the waves beat against the shore. I felt myself falling rapidly. Just as the cold water touched my feet, I awoke with a start. The tide had risen while I had been sleeping. The robe lay in a tumbled heap beneath me, and my feet were wet. The recent train of events were fresh in my mind. Whether I had been dreaming or had in reality taken the trip I will never be sure. I hastily packed my robe back into the car and headed back to the city. —Constance Codin Prophecy on the Prophet Having received a verification of an ap¬ pointment with Doctor Codin, I left im¬ mediately for New York. Upon arriving I went to my hotel, left my baggage to be brought up to my room, took a taxi and went directly to the Doctor ' s office which was on the fifteenth floor of the building, in room 456. It was not too long before I found the right door and went in. Sitting at the desk was a secretary, who, after asking my name, told me to be seated. She then called the doctor and told her that her 10:30 appointment had arrived. Because the doctor was expecting me at that moment she told her to send me right in. As I entered, the doctor had her back towards me and was busy looking over some chemicals. A quick glance at the furniture and walls indicated to me that the doctor had an excellent practice. The doctor then turned around and asked me what she could do for me. I stood there and looked at her in amazement and then said, “Wait a minute and let me think! Why yes, now I recognize you; you are Connie Codin my old classmate. I came up to her more closely and noticed that she was somewhat taller and even prettier. We immediately started asking each other questions; however, realizing that this was not the proper place to talk over old times I asked her to have lunch with me. We went to a very nice restaurant and after lunch she told me how she entered into this profession. After graduating from Bellingham High she went to a medical college and then after having graduated she established an office in this building. Connie then asked me how everyone was in Bellingham and if the town had grown any since she left. I assured her that everyone was fine, and that the town had prospered because Bellingham had grown into a large city, having all the department stores in Bellingham Center, and the business sec¬ tions at the South and North. Connie was amazed at all this and said she would love to see Bellingham again. I told her that I was going back home on the 10:30 plane that was leaving that evening and if she could arrange to have some other doctor take charge of her patients for a few days she ought to come back. Connie thought the idea an excellent one and immediately began making plans to leave. We took the plane from New York that evening and reached Bellingham early the next morning. Connie was amazed at how Bellingham had grown. After a few days in Bellingham she received a telegram saying that she was needed immediately, that a very urgent call had come up. That evening saw me waving goodby to someone in an airplane for Connie was on her way back to that great city, New York —John Kozak (fllaas Mill ' S ' We, the class of 1942, this eighteenth day of June in the year nineteen hundred and forty-two, of Bellingham High School, of Norfolk County, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do make this our last will and Testament, hereby revoking all former wills by at any time heretofore made.

Mary Foley Sophomore (mis) Adventures On September 9, 1941, a long happy, lei- surley vacation was ended. At the first glimpse of those high grey walls , there came an instant longing for that old swim¬ ming hole, mosquitoes, bugs and all. But, with all summer to build our confidence and thoughts of meeting schoolmates you haven ' t seen all summer, you postponed the date with the swimming-hole for some ex¬ ceptionally warm autumn day which never comes. After a couple of months of hard work that old longing for freedom overwhelms you and so you rip the seams of your pants accidental like and ask to go home. The principal is a big-hearted guy , and he lets you go home with a try to be back by ten. Somehow you never get a ride—when you ' re lying down. Then, too, comes that feeling that it ' s only about four o ' clock in the morning when mother calls to Get up, so you go back to sleep, only to be rudely aroused or pulled out of bed a few minutes later. But you ' re convinced it ' s only four A. M., and so you take your sweet time. Then when you ' re washing your teeth, the bus comes, and you rush around in circles, taking a gulp of cof¬ fee and nearly choking to death, forgetting you had a mouthful of toothpaste. By now you know the bus has come and gone, but there is the matter of a second bus. By now you know that being sick won ' t do you any good; thus some hard thinking takes place. What to do? Meanwhile, you very faintly hear the sound of a motor and fever¬ ishly rack your brain. You ' ve just about giv en up hope of missing it and start to walk out, when you find your shoes untied. You stoop to tie it. Ah! That ' s it. Break your shoe lace. So you immediately begin rugging violently at it, but the darn thing won ' t break. But you have a jack-knife, and so the problem is solved. Almost! There is the matter of mother. For some unknown reason, she wants you in school. Yuo argue, but that doesn ' t do any good. So, you leisurely start off, and usually get to school in time for lunch period. Thus the story goes. You come into the high school, go into the auditorium, talk about one thing or another, sometimes copy from a classmate some work that you didn ' t do, and in turn let that person have the work you did so that he can copy it. Then the warning bell rings, but you hang around until the principal comes in and tells you to go to your home room. You grumble a bit, naturally. The same thing happens at re¬ cess and lunch period. Then on certain days comes Religious Education. You think you ' re smart, and so you go shoot a game of pool instead of attending, and I bet that night I ' d find you writing out the Bill of Rights. Perhaps in later years I will look back on these doings with their pleasant memories, as you probably do, and laugh. These are happy years (even with gas rationing), al¬ though most of us are too stubborn to admit it. You have your troubles, sure, as every¬ one has, but all in all, we ' re pretty darn well off. cJ ongfellow ( J3 reen unior 1941-1942! This was to be one of our most eventful school years; one expected to bring us adventurous activities, both social and scholastic. We are Juniors now, having completed the first two years in our enthusiastic pur¬ suit of an education. Besides having sponsored a Halloween Dance, we were the sponsors of the “Junior Prom.“ This prom was the highlight of our Junior year. What a kaleidoscopic affair it was! Our spacious auditorium was decor¬ ated patriotically with huge V ' s for Victory in red, white, and blue lights outlining the windows, and many airplanes of varied shapes, sizes and colors hanging in unique designs from the ceiling. These events will long remain in our memories, but it was the people that made them that is important We, the Juniors class, entrusted the leadership of our class, to a very capable men When school opened in September, we were all glad because it was something new and different to go to ' nigh school ' . We were no longer grammar school ' kids ' , but Freshmen in high school. The Freshmen Acquaintance Party opened the social ac¬ tivities of the year. We were the guests of the Senior class, and they “did us proud . In a couple of weeks the football season opened and anyone—even the Freshmen— who was interested could try out for the team. Our one social event of the year took place on Nov. 4, the date designated to us. Our dance, under the wise supervision of Mr. McGahan, was a profitable success— which did most to ' boost our faith in our ability to uphold the Freshmen standards. We were really in “the swing of things now! Social activities were then put to one side to usher in the basketball season. Un¬ doubtedly, basketball did much in bringing us closer to our fellow classmates, the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. young lady, Miss Marion Archambault, as¬ sisted by the subordinate but equally ef¬ ficient officers. Dominic Wesolowski, vice- president; William Foley, secretary and Dominic Nadolny, treasurer. But what about our scholastic events. Oh, yes. We braved the pages of “Tales of i wo Cities right up to, and through, the lines of Wm. Shakespeare ' s “Julius Caesar. We studied, were quizzed, and restudied the pages of such books as History, Short¬ hand, Typing, French, etc. Thus with our fortunes rising and falling as days have come and gone, we arrive at the doorstep of opportunity. We have completed our Junior year and are about to become Seniors. Oh! We shall never forget the experi¬ ence of our Junior year; neither shall we forget those people who enabled us to enjoy them, the faculty. ( ' Walter S. @fogarlL Features Because of the novelty of first year ac¬ tivities, the time seemed to fly by and Christmas was soon here. We all had a good time at the huge Christmas Party planned and made possible by our principal, Mr. Collins. Up to this time we had it “pretty easy . Now we were face to face with serious business — mid-year exams. How we worried as we listened to the fabled stories told us by the upper classmen. To our surprise, we all made out fairly well and no lives were lost. The second half of the year started quite uneventfully. Our activities had fallen into a routine and we now felt ourselves part of the High School. Every now and then there was a dance or a minstrel show or a play to add a little variety to our daily diet. The basketball season opened about April 1 and usually there were about two games a week. On the whole our Freshmen year has been a success both educationally and socially. We are very thankful to our classmates, our faculty, and our principal Mr. Edward Collins for helping to make it so. fj’aclc hJullle LITERARY SOCIETY MARGARET C. MAHONEY, ADVISOR FRENCH CLUB MARY L.

Having a few lettermen from the previous year, the task of creating a good football team was a long and tedious process. Out of the small enrollment of Bellingham High School, only twenty re¬ ported for the first practice session, which made it difficult to form a good team. The continuous practice of the squad brought them into top physical condition for the long awaited game with Franklin, our rival of long standing. The Bellingham boys played hard football for the first three quarters of this game but a sudden surge on Franklin ' s part brought defeat to the Black and White by a score of 3 1 to 14. Other games were played with Uxbridge, Millis, Westwood, Foxboro, Medway and Hopkinton. These games were highly con¬ tested but the opposing teams managed to edge out the Black and White forces.

Keough, had a successful season. Constant daily practice built up our team and brought in a system of workable plays. In basketball, we considered as the principal rival, Blackstone High. After hard and vigorous play, Blackstone edged out the local boys. In the return game played in Blackstone, Bellingham again did not fair well and lost in a thrilling fourth quarter by the close score of 38 to 35. The Bellingham boys played their old schoolmates, the alumni, and defeated them by the score 22 to 20. The Catholic Youth Organization also played a losing game with the Black and White players.

The boys practised hard and long—a factor which contributes greatly to their success on the diamond. For the second year the Bellingham Base¬ ball team was represented in the Tri-County Baseball league. Due to the difficulties arising from the war conditions, our annual game with Blackstone High was cancelled. The baseball team is well on the way to winning the league championship a ' r the time of this writing with only two more league games remaining. Norman Belcher and Art Caron made up our pitching staff; these two boys were among the best schoolboy pitchers in the district. Credit is due these two players for the fine work they performed on the mound and at the bat. Romeo Sweck and Captain Michalowski also gave fine support to the pitcher in their fielding and hitting.

Drunk: Thank goodness—I thought I was a cripple. The class yell of the School of Experience is Ouch! No one is entirely useless; even the worst of us can serve as horrible examples. Miss Mahoney: If a number of cattle is called a herd and a number of sheep, a flock, what would a number of camels be called? Belcher: A carton. Character is the result, not so much of trying to be good, as trying to be better. The Barrier They strolled down the lane at midnight.
