From this group we have picked a select few who we feel have performed their assigned duties especially well and have co-operated beyond what was expected of them by individual and original work. The entire staff deserves great praise, and the other members of the committee are given due praise in another part of the book. For years, the Latin School Register staff has not been able to publish a yearbook such as they would like because finances have not permitted. Through the efforts of Mr. Wenners and a hard-working business staff, more money was available. After much discussion, the Senior Class, which benefits most from the yearbook, responded well to the call and we were able to increase the size of the book almost double. The size of the pictures was increased, fewer pictures were put on a page, several insert title-pages were obtained, and the general format and appearance of the magazine was consequently improved. We have no apologies to make for the present volume. It represents our best e ' fforts, and we feel that the improvement well warrants the extra expenditure of Class I. We express sincere thanks to Mr. Marson, who read and corrected the literary contributions; and to Mr. Dunn, who was always ready to spend his time with us when we struck snags. We can never show Mr. Wenners the gratitude we have for his work. He struggled with us and pushed us on when we faltered. He made this year- book possible, and we hope we have at least satisfied, if not pleased him. F. A. R. Six OFFICERS OF THE SENIOR CLASS This record of our activities would be rather inadequate if we failed to give our officers the tribute due them. They worked hard promoting class spirit, in collecting dues, and generally putting the class over. They can truthfully say that the adminis- trati on of their duties was capable and successful. Early in the year nominations were succeeded by a fiery campaign. Concerted electioneering took place before the primaries. Finally, the most popular candidates were chosen, and the class expected to vote; but at this point something unusual arose. A motion was made to introduce sticker candidates into the ballot. A close vote on the measure was anticipated, but the Seniors emphatically voted not to consider it, and the idea died in its infancy. The election was held, and the officers pictured above were appointed. We feel satisfied with our choice and know that they have done their best. Orchids to our President, John Brodde Bjorklund; Vice-President, Joseph R. Levenson; Secretary- Treasurer, Robert J. Cahill, and Class Committee Members, John Beatty (Chairman), Casty J. Ajauskas, Arthur S. Applebaum, Alvin G. Plackter, Everett J. Daniels. F. A. R. Seven CLASS BANQUET 1937 On the evening of May 6, 1937, under the official sponsorship of the school, a banquet at the Hotel Brunswick was tendered by the graduating class in honor of their long-beloved friend and master, Charles Fenno Winslow. Under the leadership of David J. Baraban, chairman of the Banquet Committee, of Fred Keyes, Daniel P. Ctecey, Francis L. Slattery, and John J. Gately, a meal and series of after-dinner talks were arranged which kept every one present in a state of thorough contentment. Present were Mr. Joseph L. Powers, our headmaster, who managed to retain his dignity through all the extraordinary events of the night and who spoke to us all earn- estly and sincerely; the master of ceremonies, Mr. Lee J. Dunn, the guardian angel of every Class I boy; Mr. Fred P. H. Pike, who in a short, pithy speech proved to be one of the most interesting speakers of the evening; Mr. Leon J. Glover, who actually managed to make the Latin language over into an instrument of wit in his well-pre- pared talk, the more entertaining for its bringing in the personalities of various boys present; and Mr. Max Levine, who will not be long forgotten for his vivid explanation of why the class should meet again and again in the future, and how the meetings should be arranged with regularity. President Brodde Bjorklund made himself rather the hero of the whole occasion by acclaiming, with the rest of the class, Jeff Winslow, our bona fide classmate in this year 1937 now and forever unto the end of the world. Mr. Winslow retaliated in the manner that has made him popular with everyone every year with a humorous speech, in which he regaled his classmates and which came straight from the heart. We thank you most heartily, Classmate Winslow, for granting this honor to the Class of ' 37, all of which looks up to you as their friend and benefactor. Let us hope there will be many more such evenings with the class all together, including Charles Fenno Winslow. D. S. M.

When the last reader reads no more — Holmes TILL WE MEET AGAIN And now comes the parting, when we sever relationships built up over a period of many years. There are so many things that tie us to each other, so many things that we have been through together, it is hard to believe that some of us will never meet again. Sometime we may see the name of one of our fellows mentioned in the paper, or hear of him from a friend. At the impressionable ages at which we are in Latin School, we absorb so much of each other ' s personalities that the associations we have made mean more than any we may make in the future. So now, let ' s shake hands all around and take one last, long look at all our friends before the dreaded uncertainty of parting. D. S. M. i§ u Sixty-Eight Sixty-Nine f 8LS x fMs 7 7?

Seventy f 8LS DRAMATICS We need hardly speak, except for the official record, of the activities of the Dramatic and Glee Clubs this year, for they have well spoken for themselves through the productions of Journey ' s End and Pinafore , which were not only enjoyed by their respective audiences, but which clearly demonstrated the talent for this sort of thing at the Latin School. Until the past few years dramatics have not, we are sorry to say, been outstand- ing in the school. However, 1937 represents the culmination of the last few years of steady progress towards the time when their respective abilities should be recognized by an appreciative student body. For these and many other reasons, we hope to have these clubs keep on with their well-appreciated and very entertaining work. The several pages following will tell in more detail the story of this year ' s endeavor towards a greater understanding of the art of the stage. D. S. M. Seventy-One Seventy-Two GLEE CLUB Pbls £lbEh $fchvm ' L§?l GLEE CLUB President: HARRY VON BERGEN Vice-President: RUSSELL J. ROBINSON Secretary: PAUL R. MILLER Two years ago the Latin School Glee Club was a comparatively insignificant organization of a few enthusiasts, attracting but little attention. Since then, however, through its production of Gilbert and Sullivan operettas, it has grown to be one of the most popular clubs in the school. Its offering this year was H. M. S. Pinafore, presented on Friday evening, April 9, with the following cast: RT. HONORABLE SIR JOSEPH PORTER, K. C. B. COUSIN HEBE CAPTAIN CORCORAN JOSEPHINE RALPH RACKSTRAW ... LITTLE BUTTERCUP .. DICK DEADEYE BOATSWAIN BOATSWAIN ' S MATE . Robert E. MacMaster, ' 37 Romeyn V. Lippman, ' 40 Harry von Bergen, ' 37 Stephen Donaldson, 42 John J. Devlin, ' 39 H. Vincent Strout, ' 39 Russell J. Robinson, ' 39 Dexter P. Nichols, ' 36 Richard G. Lurie ' 37 As in the past, Mr. Burke was the director. This year he was assisted by Mr. Gordon and Mr. Hopkinson of the faculty, and also by Mr. and Mrs. Edward Center. So much interest in the production had been aroused by last year ' s presentation of The Mikado that an extra performance had to be given on Thursday afternoon for the benefit of those who were unable to obtain tickets ' for Friday. One factor which enhances the effect of the Latin School production of these operettas is the appearance of the younger boys as girls. Their entrance in the first act created a sensation, and they were warmly applauded. Their soprano voices and diminutive stature made them well suited to their roles. It is anticipated that the Glee Clubs to come will keep up the tradition thus established, and we extend to them our sincerest wishes for continued success in all their future endeavors in this field. H. V. B. Seventy-Three Seventy-Four Pbls THE DRAMATICS CLUB 1936-1937 At the first call for aspirants for the Dramatics Club, room 106 was filled to over- flowing. Of course, only a few were chosen. Mr. Russo ' s plan was to put on The Night of January 16 , by Ayn Rand. The cast was picked and rehearsals begun. However, due to a demand for the return of last year ' s success, R. C. Sheriff ' s Journey ' s End Mr. Russo was forced to produce it again. Again a cast was picked. A few of those who took part last year had their same roles. The performance took place in the Latin School Auditorium, on May 7, with the following cast: Captain Hardy Lieut. Osborne Private Mason Second Lieut. Raleigh Capt. Stanhope Second Lieut. Hibbert Alan Silverman, ' 37 Morris Yarosh, ' 37 Dexter P. Nichols, ' 36 George C. Risman, 37 R. Ellsworth MacMaster, ' 37 Mitchell J. Cooper, 37 Seventy-Five f LS I Sergeant Major Colonel . SeconcT Lieut. Trotter German Soldier British Soldiers Raymond W. Gibbs, ' 39 .William M. Goulding, 37 John W. Manning, 40 Ernst M. Jandorf, ' 37 $ Abraham Swartz, ' 37. ' John J. Sullivan, ' 38 Scenery provided by G. V. C. Lord and costumes by Karl Krebs. Especial note should be given those whose voices were not heard on the stage. Mr. John B. Fitzgerald, of the faculty, was technical adviser. Messrs. William H. Marnell, Wilfred L. O ' Leary, and John E. Collins gave valuable aid and their time for the success of the play, and for their help, the club thanks them heartily. Messrs. Edward Berkovitz, ' 36, Albert E. Schell, ' 36, Frank A. Grenier, ' 38, Robert L. Fitzpat- rick, ' 37, and others worked whole-heartedly for our success. The audience was very courteously treated by Robert W. Corson, ' 37, Chief Usher. D. P. N. Seventy-Six ORCHESTRA Under the very capable and conscientious direction of Professor Wagner the orchestra has charmed us with three performances, each of superior excellence and interest. The orchestra is not heard as much of as other musical organizations but it undoubtedly holds the interest of the school more thoroughly than the others. At the exercises on Class Day, Mr. Wagner led the musicians in two selections which received their due praise. Again at the oratorical contest the same group rendered several selections and as we go to press, arrangements are being made to have the orchestra play at the prize declamation. We feel that we should mention Frank, concertmaster, who capably handled Mr. Wagner ' s duties in that official ' s absence. F. A. R. Seventy-Seven Sevenhy-Eight DRUM CORPS BAND Sevenly-Nine AIDS TO THE YEARBOOK COMMITTEE The writing and assembling of the yearbook is a much more tedious task than might be imagined. Much of the work is routine checking, which is certainly anything but pleasant. Quotations, which were all acknowledged this year, have to be assigned and approved. We feel justified in giving Yanow and Risman the credit for thoroughly capable work. Most of the labor was done in room committees, and the boys sacrificed on an average of three afternoons a week. Each boy ' s claims were checked for dates and authenticity until we feel sure we have not slighted anyone. If this yearbook is better than its predecessors, these boys deserve most of the credit. The school honestly owes them a debt of gratitude. Many of them obtained ads , which are really the financial backbone of any magazine. Without these, many of the improvements made this year would have been impossible. Likewise, our success depended in large measure upon the ability of some youths to sell the Latin School spirit to outsiders. A concentrated patronship campaign was waged, and we realized many necessary dollars from this source. All in all, they worked hard, and we thank them. F. A. R. Eighty-One Eighty-Two THE REGISTER STAFF Pbls £!bFh l£ iirn ' ' Q L§f THE REGISTER FRANCIS A. REGAN and DAVID S. McNALLY, Co-Editors-in-Chief As the season of 1937 opened, the staff of your Register began a move to re- style the publication to a state of being distinctly individual not only in set-up but in content, and we think the attempt highly successful due to the earnest enthusiasm of our supporters. New, highly distinctive caption type, and linotype, plus original artistry in the method of setting up those very necessary face-plate, title, and con- tents pages, which had become rather boring after years of repetition, gave the magazine a place of its own upon which to stand, instead of merely being content with raising its head above others of its kind. Success was due entirely to the eager efforts of a willing staff which co-operated with us to their tu I lest extent in producing and criticizing worthwhile material, and to those outside of the staff who submitted various short stories ' and articles of a very commendable nature. Outstanding as the heads of departments were John Beatty who turned out a sports column thoroughly covering everything in the way of fast action athletics in a friendly illuminating style of his own, and b. J. Daniels and his co-workers of Class II, Alman and Hayes, who created a new, better kind of Raving Reporter that really told the news of the school, as the school wanted it told, also Managing Editor George Risman who was always ready to help out the literary in- terests of the magazine, and the different editors of Classes II, IV, and V respectively. Honors in the Art department were evenly divided between those two competent and skilled sketchers Arthur Applebaum, and Charles Savage of Classes I, and II in that order. Generous aid was offered by fhe Assistant Editors and their Associate Editors, too numerous to completely cover here by name, in the way of timely work and advice. Of course, there is another most vital organ of the Register, the Business staf f, composed of Business Manager Robert Bavley, succeeded upon his illness by Sydney Gale, former Circulation Manager, and Advertising Manager Eliot Snider, without which we could not have existed. Their able efforts securing advertisements and filling necessary pages, and increasing circulation while bolstering school spirit to a higher peak than ever before, are enough compliment. Whilst, in the background, guiding us through the stresses and strains of the executive work were our two well-known Advisers, Literary and Business, Mr. Marson and Mr. Wenners, who steadied our blundering hands throughout the year. Thus do we leave behind this year ' s Register, in anticipation of Registers to come. D. S. M. Eighty-Three Pels THE PHYSICS CLUB The Physics Club, this past year, seemed to steer away from the more theoretical aspects of that science and to be more interested in every-day applications of its principles. Lerner delivered an interesting lecture on ’High Frequency and Hinckley one on Spectroscopic Phenomena, but most of the other lectures delivered during the year were on simple, educational and interesting points of our daily life in which physics plays a part. McNally gave the introductory lecture on Radio, and the club gradually gained momentum. Air Con- ditioning and Animated Cartoons were the two subjects developed by Regan, while Moody gave a talk on Streamlining at another meeting. Backer explained the manufacture of celluloid. An election was held early in the year, the results being as follows: Frank Regan, President; David S. McNally, Vice-President; Herbert R. Moody, Secretary. Re- elections were held later in the year, but the members evidently felt that the officers were performing creditably,- for they retained them in office by a sweeping vote. Again Mr. Wales did the honors in sponsoring the lectures and was a great help in preparing them. He donated apparatus to enliven the discussion and will be wel- comed by next year ' s Class I to lead them on. F. A. R. Eighty-Four Pbls LITERARY CLUB There is an insatiable hunger in every human being to discover the thoughts of his fellowmen, particularly of the poets, who remove us into a world of beauty and music, into a world of dreams and unreality; of the philosophers, who by their cogita- tions probe into the truths of this life; of the novelists, who boldly delineate life, its hardships, its miseries, and its blessings. It was with that purpose of acquainting stu- dents with these values of literature that the Literary Club had its inception. The greatest name in literature is William Shakespeare. Accordingly, Small, Class I, delivered a talk on the life of William Shakespeare and his influence upon the literary world. In the next meeting, Swartz, Class I, took us away from the English drama- tist to an American poet; his speech was on the life and works of William Cullen Bryant. Respecting the lore of mythology Bates, Class II, related the legends and myths which had their origin in Greece. Yanow proceeded to discuss the life of a man less important than Shakespeare or Bryant — Donn Byrne. Cohen, Class II, reverting to English literature, described The life of eccentric Rev. Samuel Johnson. Regan, Class I, spoke on G. K. Chester- fon. Cohen, Class II, discussed the Elizabethan Age, commenting on its works. The next two meetings were taken by Stone, Class I, who treated the life of Ludwig Lewisohn and Franz Werbel ' s great work The Eternal Road. Mr. Callanan, our director, was of immeasurable assistance, not only in reviewing the topic on hand, but also by opening new fields of discussion. The officers who aided us to make the year successful were Stone, President, Small, Vice-President; Cohen, Secretary. H. B. C. Eighty-Five Eighty-Six DEBATING CLUB f BLS DEBATING CLUB Not to be outdone by the success of last year ' s debating club, the Debating Society of 1 936- ' 3 7 sought new honors. The club was led by President Paul R. Miller, who ably performed his duties; Vice-President George G. McGurk; and Secretary John E. Tully. Strangely enough, all the presiding officers were of Class II, and so we may expect even greater success next year. Each meeting of the dub was well att ended as a result of the interesting subjects debated. Under the supervision of Dr. John E. Collins, the meetings became some- thing to look forward to. All the members usually partook in the open forum after each club debate. We were pleased this year to see former Latin School debaters winning honors in various colleges: John Daunt ' 34 is on the varsity debating team at Holy Cross; John Wilkas ' 36 is the leading freshman scholar at Holy Cross; while Ogar ' 36 is bringing up a close second. The I 9 36- ' 3 7 debaters have greatly strengthened the excellent reputation of the school. Under the able supervision of Mr. Wilfred L. O ' Leary of the faculty, the teams entered upon a hard schedule and came out with flying colors. Our team; was composed of Gibbs, Tully, Backer, and McGurk as rebuttalist and met the Girls ' Latin School on the subject of Unicameral Legislatures, McGurk taking the first prize for the best debater. The same team went over to Malden High School and defeated the team there. When Winthrop came over, Risman, Bernard, Styles and Tully as rebuttalist represented the Latin School on the negative side of the question of Gov- ernment Ownership of Electrical Utilities. Tully received first mention. On the affirmative side of the same question Tully, Ryan, and Backer met the champions of the Maine Interscholastic Debating League, an unusually strong team from Biddeford, Maine. Latin School came out on top, with first award tied between Tully, the re- buttalist, and Backer. The most outstanding debate of the year was that with Harvard Freshmen. McGurk, Tully, and Backer argued on the question of the day, Legality of the Sitdown Strikes. McGurk, rebuttalist, received first award. The team of Donlan, Lebovitz, and MacCausland met Brown Freshmen on the Neutrality question. Latin School again emerged in victor y. Backer was awarded the gold medal debating award for l936- ' 37. In view of the fact that all the interscholastic debaters, with the exception of Risman, Lebovitz, and Backer, will be back next year, Mr. O ' Leary hopes for an ■mpregnable team for 1937- 38. S. B. Eighty-Seven ■ � .. iW«V 1 ' )- t ' ' ■ m Eighty-Eight MATHEMATICS CLUB Pbls MATHEMATICS CLUB In view of its aims, the Mathematics Club this year has been a great success. The Club this year enjoys the distinction of having covered more ground than any of its predecessors. The meetings were off to an early start without the usual confusion of the election of officers. The officers elected in May of 1936 were Stanley Backer, President; Albert Yanow, Vice-President; Norman Platt, Secretary. Throughout the year the officers did their best to make the meetings as interesting and beneficial as possible. Thanks are due our competent director, Mr. Lucey, for his interesting explana- tions and his valuable suggestions. Most of the subjects discussed proved to be useful as well as interesting, and drew favorable comment from all who partook in the meetings. Among the talks were the following: Yanow on Determinants . McNally on the Introduction to Logs . Moody two talks on the Use of the Slide Rule . Regan on Cube Roots . Potash and Brown on Synthetic Division . Backer on Combinations and Permutations , Plane Sailing . Simon on Nautical Astronomy . Hinckley on The Use of Nautical Astronomical Instruments . Beloungie on Analytic Geometry . Goulding, Little, and Gelewitz were the most frequent participants in the pleasant informality which accompanied each meeting. 1 936- ' 37 — a successful season indeed! To the officers-elect — Potash, President; Gelewitz, Vice President; and Brown, Secretary — we extend our heartiest wishes for continued success. S. B. Eighty-Nine PBLS rM56to-BL§? CLASSICAL CLUB SYDNEY C. GALE, President DANIEL BLACKLOW, Vice-President GERALD ROSCOE, Secretary Known since its inception as the Latin Club, this year the members decided not only to prove that Latin is not a dead language, and to promote interest in Latin, and to emphasize its connection with modern life ; but also to include Greek under its fold and rename the result the Classical Club Realizing that Latin and Greek are exclusive, sophisticated languages, only those who proved themselves to be capable of delivering speeches on classical subjects, and who would take an interest, were allowed to join the club, thus limiting the member- ship to a few privileged devotees of the classical languages. With the inauguration of a new set of officers, a new program, which was found very effective, was adopted. The meeting was divided into three parts; first, a lec- ture; second, a passage of Latin to be completely parsed by a member; third, any miscellaneous addresses. Under these sub-divisions there were delivered these entertaining and educational speeches; Roman Books and Libraries , Roman Funerals , Greek and Roman Doctors , The Roman Boy , and Crime and Punish- tnent . Many difficult passages were parsed by the members, and finally the club was amused by speeches on Latin and Greek quips, Latin puzzles and others. Three special meetings were held at which lecturers from the Fine Arts Museum spoke on The Odyssey , The Iliad , and The Aeneid . At the end of a successful season, we leave Mr. G. B. Cleary, the director, a completely revised society and thank him earnestly for his kind cooperation. G. R. Ninety Pels ' £ bEhf$bh (in? ' y B L§| LE CERCLE FRANCAIS 1936-1937 With Mr. Levine as director, Le Cercle Francais (French Club to the sixth class- men among us) got under way with high hopes and low attendance. The following officers were chosen: President: Joseph Levenson. Vice-President: Gerald Roscoe. Secretary: Everett Daniels. Mr. Bourgeois, as guest speaker, discoursed on Franco-American relations, while Mr. Levine spoke frequently on many interesting and informative topics. A special feature was a musical meeting, including a talk on French musicians, community sing- ing of French songs, and the story of the Marseillaise. Among books discussed were: Andre Maurois ' En Amerique”, and the play Topaze. An interesting phenomenon was the bumper attendance in late winter, but with the coming of spring, the number of devotees dwindled. It is our hope that next year ' s club will contain less passive on- lookers, more active participants. J. L. Ninety-One fSLs BLS I PURPLE AND WHITE RIFLE CLUB MEMBER OF THE NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION Instructor: MAJOR MK HAEL J. lANNON. President: JOSEPH G. GAVIN. Vice-Pres.: HECTOR McBOURNIE. Sec.-Treas. WALTER V. COLLINS. Meetings: Friday evenings, November to May. Enrollment, twenty-six. Average attendance, twelve. Again this year Major Lannon extended to the Rifle Club the privilege of shoot- ing under his direction on the English High School range. Targets were fired on the 50-foot range in both slow and rapid 1 style. The months of November and December were spent teaching new members and improving old members. For twelve weeks during the months of January, February, and March, the club fired in the National Junior Bi-weekly Match. Every other week, targets were shot by a ten-man team in prone position and slow fire. The gratifying result was a third place in Class D. For this the club received a fine trophy cup, upon which are engraved the names of the five marksmen whose targets were most often counted. Mr. Powers formally presented this trophy to the president of the club before the assembled cadet corps at prize drill. On Wednesday, May 12, 1937, the individual match, open to marksmen from Latin, English, Commerce, and South Boston High, was held. Jhe aim of the Rifle Club is official recognition and support by the school. The winning of a place in a national match and the resulting favorab ' e publicity un- doubtedly will help toward this goal in addition to making the season a successful one. J. G. G. Ninety-Two Pb ls ART CLUB In November the Art Club began its third year with the following officers: Matthew J. Horner, President; Charles H. Savage, Vice-President; and Robert Borowski, Secretary. The club was numerically smaller than that of last year, but under the capable guidance of Mr. Lawrence Kupferman and Mr. Israel Latkowitch, both of the Massa- chusetts School of Art, whose services were secured by the faculty adviser, Mr. Brickley, the members enjoyed a variety of activities. Considerable talent in soap- sculpture was revealed, and several striking posters for the Glee Club ' s presentation of H. M. S. Pinafore were executed by members of the club. In addition, various contests in the making of commercial and exposition posters occupied the attention of the club. Three of the members attended classes in high school vocational art at the Museum of Fine Arts three afternoons weekly. Plans for next year ' s activities are already being formulated. Ninety-Three COIN CLUB STAMP CLUB Ninety-Four i i CAMERA CLUB MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB Ninety-Five f BL S HIGHWAY SAFETY CLUB The Highway Safety Club, now in its second year, is typical of the varied interests shown by the undergraduate body. Under the capable leadership of its president, Leo Dunphy, and its sponsor, Mr. Levine, this club has been responsible for the wide- spread interest of the student body in safe and sane driving. In conjunction with the club ' s activities, Mr. Levine was instrumental in arranging an interesting Safety talk given in the Assembly Hall. The two officers in charge of the Boston Police Department loudspeaker car (M-l) gave the audience many hints on safe motoring and in addition related several humorous experiences in connection with their work. Both emphasized the importance of being thoroughly conversant with traffic laws and regulations. The Club has done fine work in still another capacity, that of training prospective applicants to pass their driving tests. We look forward to a greatly increased interest among the boys in the Highway Safety Club in future years. G. M. H. Ninety-Six SOCIALS AND SUCH Hear ye! Hear ye! Again the Class of ' 37 has triumphed. Again has that mighty Class shown its worthiness to be listed among Latin ' s better classes. Two proms and a banquet have been run successfully (financially and artistically); and unless precedent is broken the Farewell Dance will also be a worthy successor to the previous social functions. The President of the Class chose capable leaders for each of the committees. Most of them were outstanding men of the Class, and by appointing hard working and popular committee members to assist them, he has helped greatly in assuring success. Co-Chairman Macalouski and Maguire, assisted by an efficient group of boys, formed the committee which ran the Football Dance, held at the Fox and Hounds Club on the evening following Thanksgiving. Evidently, the committee had not pre- pared for so large a crowd; but although the floor was a trifle crowded, a good time was had by all. The Football Dance was an informal affair, and the Class did not show itself off in tuxedos until the Mid-Winter Formal in February. This prom was an attrac- tive and lively affair, probably because the boys knew each other better and because the accommodations were more suitable. The Class Banquet was by far the most enjoyable affair conducted by the class this year. Chairman Baraban and his associates — Keyes, Dacey, Slattery and Gately — arranged a most interesting program and 1 provided a full evening ' s entertainment. Mr. Winslow was Guest of Honor with several of The Senior Class masters after- dinner speakers. Mr. Dunn acted as master of ceremonies. Mr. Powers delivered a speech on Entering College. President Bjorklund officially made Mr. Winslow an honorary member of the class and our new classmate made a few remarks in his own inimitable style. Lest we forget, the affair was held at the Hotel Brunswick, and the dinner was delicious. We go to press before the Farewell Dance. In past years this affair has al- ways been a success, and there is reason to suppose that this year will be no excep- tion. It is to be held at the Belmont Country Club on May 28th; and Bjorklund, McVey, and Plackter — our Committee — promise us a thoroughly enjoyable finale. F. A. R. Ninety-Seven ■m I F SLS ' af £MS6‘®7? ' 6L§?l CLASS DAY COMMITTEE Ninety-Eight f S- ; 2teVS5 fe 7 7? SL§f CLASS DAY EXERCISES This year, as ever, one of fhe high points was Class Day, a day long remembered for its reminding us of many of the little things that have happened during the last few years and for its tentative glance into the future. We are sure, also, that the distinctive Class Song will long be remembered, for it was sung that day with zeal and an almost religious fervor. Conducted by our affable President, Brodde Bjorklund, the exercises included the School Orchestra, under the direction of Mr. Wagner; addresses, stirring and up- lifting, by Mr. Frederick J. Gillis, Ph. D., ' 12, and the aforementioned Mr. Bjorklund; and musical renditions by Joseph Levenson at the piano, and Robert F. McDermott, on the trombone, accompanied by Morris Yarosh, three of the outstanding musicians in the school. The presence of parents and friends of the graduating class served only to heighten the excitement of the day. Then, there were the Will, the Oration, and the Prophecy. Edward L. Schnaper delivered his Class Oration, with a naturalness of speech and thought that brought home to us the full realization of just who we are and what we face. The Class Will, written and spoken by Arnold Silver, and the Class Prophecy, composed and delivered by David S. McNally, were accepted jovially by the class in spite of the many friendly jibes at them. Composed by Joseph Levenson and George C. Risman, the Class Song had a distinctive, catchy lilt to it that one never quite forgets. All in all, the day was a complete success, the final gathering of the class in an informal body before the more serious day of graduation in June. D. S. M. Ninety-Nine CLASS ORATION by EDWARD L. SCHNAPER Mr. Powers, members of the faculty, friends of the Latin School, and Fellow Classmates: It was almost three hundred and two years ago that a group of men, sitting in the meeting house in Boston, passed a resolution that a Free Latin School should be started for the teaching and nourtering of the children in our midst. ' It was the start of liberal education in our country. In the centuries that followed the school whi ch was founded there became the Public Latin School, our school. Through her portals have passed some of the greatest men in our nation, Franklin, Lovell, Knox, Adams, Emerson, and scores more who have been ranked among the greatest men of this country. Within this school and the spirit it embodies they were taught to uphold the lamp of learning and wisdom so that its enlightening rays might be cast upon the world. We, the Class of 1937, are now ready to take this lamp from the hands of our Alma Mater and the shades of the illustrious sages who have borne it, and step forth into a world which expects much of our generation. Four to six years ago we entered this building imbued with the spirit of a quest for knowledge. Doggedly we have stuck to our purpose, persevering, until we stand here now, eagerly looking forward to what the world has to offer. When we entered this school, the country was in the midst of a great depression. Our people were downcast in spirit and their courage was at its lowest ebb. We were too young at that time to fully realize what was going on about us. We pursued our way, happily delving into the classical and scientific lore that our teachers set before us. The vast economic and social upheaval that was going on meant little to us. Now, more mature in mind and body, we are about to graduate. Things have taken a turn for the better. Prosperity has again returned to cast its smile on our land. And to our minds has come the perception that the world with all its branches of learning lies before us. Those of us who did not consider the problem before, at present are beginning to wonder what we will do when we have left this school and perchance a higher institution of learning. We look about us. These United States are starting on an era of great pros- perity and happiness. But the nations about us are in the midst of a hotbed of conflict and international intrigue. Blood and strife seem to be the keywords of their thoughts. Warnings, threats are flying back and forth without regard for the peoples whose lives they may affect. The world is a powder magazine which needs but a spark to set it off and plunge it into a struggle so bloody and terrible that we may never recover from it. So far our nation has managed to keep aloof from this seething mess, but there are unscrupulous demagogues as there always have been and probably always will be, who are trying their best to embroil us in this conflict of other nations. This is the condition of the world we are stepping into. The eyes of all people are upon us, for it is we who shall have to bear the burden of whatever the next few One Hundred f BL S years may bring. Our own country has at present, a prosperous peace. It is our duty to keep that peace. As the great Washington said We must keep clear of the sharp tangles of foreign alliances and diplomacy. At all costs we must steer clear of the carnage of a Second World War which at present seems inevitable. And what better training can be had than ours to enable us to face the difficulties that these things cast upon us. In this place of education we have learned how to bring out the perseverance, the liberalness, the love of democracy and freedom that are the inherent qualities of every American. Under the skillful guidance of the faculty we have learned how to exhibit a courageous heart in the face of all adversities. Not yet do we realize this, but in time we will, for the trials we will have to face will show us the value of our training. In our midst are the future historians, doctors, lawyers, statesmen, journalists, engineers of the world. It is for us to scatter the light of knowledge on this earth. Our generation shall discover new things in the field of science, make new laws, invent new devices to make life easier for mankind. But ever before our eyes there must be the knowledge that the people of the world must be educated against sectional hatred and foolish prejudices in order to insure the peace of the world as much as possible. All this has been advocated and readvocated countless times before this. But that is about all that has ever been done — talk. Demagogues have spouted their ideas on the subject for their own profit and then pushed us into struggles which could easily have been avoided if the people had had the knowledge to look at the matter they were fighting over in a sane way. Why should not the reform come in our own time? We who have been educated against such false prejudices should stand forth and in the years to come do our bit in trying, not talking, but trying, to eradicate the hatred and foolish prejudices which a greater part of the earth ' s population has against each other. This is what we have been educated for. All the honors of the world, all the acclaim of the people of the world go for naught when compared to the life of one man lost in a struggle emanating from prejudices caused by ignorance. All this has been told over and over again but the question remains what are we going to do about it? The a nswer is up to us. We stand on the threshold of the world and the future lies before us. What we make of it lies in our own hands. You, Mr. Powers and members of the faculty, have taught us well and to you we express our heartfelt thanks. You have witnessed our growth from little boys to young men and you have skillfully set our ideas in the right direction. You have had infinite patience with us and helped us through all our small trials and tribulations. We will do our best not to disappoint you. Leaving your wise counsel, we go forth into the world, eagerly, our faces turned toward that success which must come as the reward of ali labor, sooner or later. We bid you farewell, Alma Mater. To you we owe our education and the pleasant memories of happy years. And now we leave you, filled with the spirit of the quest for wisdom. EDWARD L. SCHNAPER. One Hundred and On CLASS PROPHECY The audience sat in hushed silence, watching the screen with eager anticipation as the wall lights sank lower and lower in intensity; and finally, the theatre was plunged into darkness. There was a flash of light from the projection booth, a click, a startled shou+, and then lancing through the heavy darkness, a silvery beam shot the show was on. As the reflected light from the white screen shone back on the upturned faces of the throng, I began to look around me. This was the anniversary of my long-awaited day of graduation away back in 1937, the one occasion every ten years I allowed my- self to cut loose and take in a movie, in memory of those good old days in the Latin School many years ago! There was something strange about the night, an electric tension in the air, threatening, portentous, even ominous. Even the people about me knew that no ordinary events were to take place this night; they shifted restlessly back and forth in their seats. I noticed Spike Haliburton the peanut-butter king, so well known for spreading it on thick, sitting up in his private box beside Rear-Admiral Tyrone Farrell, queen of the seas. With much music and shouting, the newsreel appeared with, of course, the famous commentator Hy Steinhurst, successor to Floyd Gibbons, the meteor of the air waves. Hazily I watched the news of the day, told in pictures, pass before my eyes. Somebody named Gale flashed across the screen proposing a reduction of the Su- preme Court to one, in which he was to be the one. The eye of the camera also looked into the opening of a new Broadway show with someone faintly resembling Harry von Bergen as the leading lady. Stage managers enthusiastically bustled about: Platt, Macalouski, Regan, and the Maguires, Paul J. and John Henry, whose services, I heard, were rendered gratis. It was at this point that I ' 1 began to grow somewhat suspicious, and suddenly the answer burst upon my fevered brow in a cloud of dust. Everywhere I looked were old classmates. The ushers pacing up and down the aisles, Small, Hinckley, Midge Cooper, and Zusman. I passed a trembling hand before my bleary eyes. The manager, furiously masticating the ends of long black cigars and rushing violently to and fro — Freddy Keyes. I blinked firmly, resolvedly. It was then that I noticed Lerner with his sneaking candid camera, by the light of the gleam in his eye taking embarrassing shots of patrons, who would rather be seen elsewhere with different peop le. I ducked just in time. But on the blazing square in front more figures were flitting to and fro. I noticed Red O ' Neil, Red Warshaw, Red Vaughan, and ' Red Walsh campaigning vigorously in their drive furthering the Society for the Prevention of the Preservation of Any or All Blondes or Brunettes Abbott was all for the New Deal — but only in the case of the bridge game in which he was sitting J. Cortland Carter was an emissary from the Maine Chamber of Commerce, and Gross delivered a His- tory lecture on the Art of Not Knowing the Right Answer at the Wrong Time Grace- fully .... Jack Kenny was president of Swarthmore College .... Parry Paraskevas appeared before us with soulful eyes and ecstatic expression, playing Tiger Rag on his magic violin, as it never was played before on anyone ' s magic violin George One Hundred and Two Pbls SL I Carl Risman stepped out on the stage while some broken film was being glued to- gether, still trying to find out what the Managing Editor does Ed Schnaper came to life on the screen as the champion hog-caller of all the wild and woolly West . . . . Rudy Moody was still in a moody mood .... After Popeye Halpern had defeated the brutal villain once again in the person of Gidge Weinstein, a short feature took the screen featuring Step Stepanian, The Swingiest Thing and his band composed of the Music Appreciation Club, assisted on the vocal end by Wallie Peterson. But wearied eyes can stand only so much punishment, and with a groan I wrenched them from the sight, looking to the audience for restfulness and repose. Alas, only Goldstein and Little, Allied Analytical Chemists, in one row; Bobbie Simon holding a copy of his recent best seller Seeing the World on Skis under 1 his arm in the next row; Herb Weiner, who wrote the reviews for the latest Mickey Mouse extravagan- zas, thrown around somewhere else; and behind him Krasnor, the soda jerker, with his gal Susie Q. Beloungie. Somewhere in the sea of shining faces, I glimpsed Herb Weinstein and the inseparable Marv Freedman planning to upset someone ' s apple cart, but leave the plums alone Cheses was there, the one who wouldn ' t fall for the tried and true gag about the river bank and became a broker I saw Buckley, pale and harassed, just out of the sanatorium where he had been convalescing from the over administration of Class I History Ashton was just back from a tour of the country ' s hot spots with a burlesque show Kramer, who got so much practise taking his Ford apart, back in High School days, sat in the balcony after a hard day manufacturing toy autos for the kiddies Jack Gately, conspicuous !by his absence, joined the Navy twenty years ago and is still looking for the girls Plackter, Harry Gorman, Brodde Bjorklund, and Casty Ajauskas got special permission from their foreman, T. P. Murphy, on the W. P. A. to see the show, their attendance otherwise being forbidden under the new Socialist regime of President Connie Pappas Finally, after seeing Bobbie Alfred, the Personality Kid so-called by all the Broadway columns, seated in his private box, I turned with a weary sigh back to the silver screen, which glittered with more fleeting shadows that I gradually made out to be more of the almost forgotten Class of ' 37. A fanfare of trumpets filled the auditorium, and Stan Backer woke up suddenly, shouting, But the difference in Permutations, Combinations, and Analytical Geometry is such that — At this point Mac McClory, favorite short-short story artist for Liberty, gently shoved him under a seat, where Cahill was counting the previous day ' s Treasury receipts; and the PreVues had taken form up ahead. Several scenes passed by in quick procession, starting with a trailer of Galer ' succeeding Mr. Bowker as head of the Math. Department Howie Silver demonstrated How to Win the Girl of Your Dreams in 500 Simple Lessons Charlie Burns substituted for the broken traffic light at the corner by taking off his hat at regularly spaced intervals Sam Brown stuck in a plug for his widespread belt industry. Wear our belts, Sam said, and a foreign nation will never take the pants off us! . . .

' ' Here, I thought, there will be none of this wretched foolishness, none of this execrable philandering, for the bill outside had read, See Robert Taylor vs. Garbo , and I settled back a little in my seat. Zeidman worked frantically in the projection room above until at last the great lovers were ready. And then, one by one, the hairs on my head stood upright, and my piercing scream rent the hushed silence. This was not Taylor, this was not Garbo. All too plainly I saw the hoax. I should have known Taylor and Garbo were all through years ago. The smiling face was that of Joe Schulman opposite My Goodman (who, I must admit against my will, did outdo Garbo at her best). Lower I sank into my chair, spirit crushed, heart oppressed, suddenly aged beyond my time. From then on, I lost the theme of the story. Facts, facts,, facts showered on my frozen countenance, drilling deep scars in my mind. Bob MacMaster, the villain, who kept inserting lines of Shakespeare at inopportune moments, and second villain Ciampa, who stole the show and the leading lady, were forgotten. All I remembered was that Sumner Kaplan explained his theory on the best way to win the other fellow ' s election Jack Beatty covered the latest Women ' s Open Championship at Vassar for his Ping-Pong column in the Herald-Tribune Dan Dacey did a buck-and-wing routine for Major Felix Heimberg and his Amateur Hour Scalpy Walsh actually kept on throwing passes, ' way back from the old days, and was featured with the Shamrocks, with Doc McVey waiting on the bench with the water John Colahan modeled tuxedoes Slattery played first base for the Kentucky Cardinals Jack, the Flash Wallace utilized his fleet feet to run a treadmill on the banks of fhe Yangtze Apples Applebaum, who has followed in the footsteps of Rafael for the past twenty years, will be about ready to start work on a comic strip sometime after the prophesied decline of the surrealistic movement Whitty Robinson and Wade McCree exhibited not only a high class circus of guaranteed non-biting fleas, but even an ant which sings Mendelssohn ' s Aria in B Dick Lurie was successful in his line, taxidermy, embalming all kinds of feathered specimens from Nightingales to Bronx birdies Ritchie Wolfrum worked in a music store, where he gathered first-hand statistics on the Hit Parade, and thus carried on a cigarette business as a side-line Rabinovitz, Cohen, Cohen, and Rabinovitz opened an Employment Agency, but the first job that came in they took, so the business folded up Arnold Silver was bill-collector for a museum of ornithology ....

J. Daniels appeared as a ghost writer superb, considering in the long run that it was not only safer, but more profitable to be able to write both sides of the story Smith was there — you know, the one in the telephone book Van Teslaar, not to be outdone by some guy named Tesla, invented an entirely new set of coils, which has been adopted by all the up-to-date hair dressers the country over Renner, after long deliberation and hearty dis- cussion, became, finally, one of the topmost men in his profession of Mexican bean- One Hundred and Four f BLS rA z 7?

Edgar Hoover of the G-Men, has at last solved the persistent mystery of Why a Latin School Boy Studies Latin. However, he won ' t tell us. The last was more than I could bear. I staggered to my feet, soul trembling with wonder at what had passed. What magic night was this to so unmesh the wheels of Fate and guide the souls and spirits of the Class of ' 37 before my now dimmed orbs? As I turned to leave, I stooped low to the person next to me, no longer being surprised at his resemblance to Charlie Higgins, and asked, My friend, tell me, didst thou not notice a peculiarity in to-night ' s performance? He looked at me, taken aback, and shrank away. Everybody I passed looked at me and reacted likewise. When I reached the exit, however, with even less dis- turbance than usual, I got into the waiting white truck with the Red Cross on it, and let H arry Prolman and Gerry Roscoe, shining in their white uniforms, slowly take me back.

(Signed) ARNOLD M. SILVER, Official Shyster. One Hundred and Eight SNATCHES FROM SPORTS Before reading the records of our teams separately, let us rapidly summarize the athletic achievements as a whole. Coach FitzGerald has labored hard over the foot- ball and track teams and as we go to press is still trying to find the best possible combination for the baseball team. Several of our classmates have appeared as three letter men and have really set athletic records to be proud of. Dacey, Crowley, Bjorklund and Wallace, among others, have all displayed exceptional athletic prowess and have achieved great popu- larity because of their ability. This year ' s football team lost one game and played one scoreless tie but beat most of its opponents by rather large margins. Of course, being modest, we hate to mention it but we also defeated English High School which, in itself, made the year a success. The track team did not do as well as the football team but several lower classmen were unearthed to form the nucleus of next year ' s squad which will undoubtedly do better. The Purple and White squad failed to win at all consistently but, at least, they managed to trail the winners closely. In the regimental meet Latin failed to garner a single point in the field events but managed to do well enough in the track events to. tie Trade School for fifth place. Still the motto of the Latin School Track Team, as it has been for years, is, Beat English. Never fear, there ' ll come a day. The basketball team is still in the midst of a hot campaign and its chances of beating English are about even. After a poor start, a partial pick-up was effected and the team has hopes of a few more successful games before closing the schedule. Very little is heard of our Tennis team but they are definitely not asleep. Nasher and Feingold are both fine players and should go far in their chosen sport. Due to lack of ice, the hockey team was unable to practice and play. We feel that we should at least mention them. F. A. R. One Hundred and Nine One hundred and Ten THE FOOTBALL SQUAD FOOTBALL On October 3, the Purple and White auspiciously opened its football season by beating St. Marks, 20-13, at Southboro. By excellent blocking in the line, the backs were cut loose frequently for long gains. The following Saturday saw a heavy Groton team beaten 6-0 when Bjorklund was inserted for one play to push the ball over from the one-foot line. Then came the only blemish of the year, administered by Roxbury Memorial. Although Latin was expected to win, the ball remained continually around midfield with neither side being able to gain. In the final quarter, however, a Latin player was nailed behind the goal line for a safety. It was by virtue of this game that Memorial claimed the city ' s championship. A week later, a stubborn Mechanic Arts team held a potentially powerful Latin team to a scoreless tie when the purple-clad team was unable to capitalize on its scoring possibilities. In the ensuing three games a real scoring punch was developed when Trade School was beaten 20-0; Boston College High 19-0; and Dorchester High 20-0. The most important of these was the B. C. H. Game when the Maroon and Gold Eaglets were soundly thrashed, leaving no doubt as to who had the superior team. Never since 1923 has a Latin team been able to wrest a winning decision from the boys of St. James Street. The next to last game with Commerce was called because of inclement weather. Entering the English High game as the underdog on Thanksgiving morn- ing a fighting Latin team conquered its arch enemy with its galaxy of stars, 13-0. In the early minutes of the game Plackter, giant right guard, burst through to block a punt and recover the ball for a touchdown. Dacey kicked the extra point. In the third period a sustained drive beginning at midfield resulted in the second and final score. The following boys who started the English game — Crowley, Buckley, Dacey, Lambert, Plackter, Wallace, Beatty, Keyes, Capt. Gorman, Walsh, and Bjorklund — • received letters, along with Ajauskas, Burke, Cummings, Dempsey, Flanagan, Garvey, Gavin, Higgins, Hoar, Koufman, Krajewski, Martin, McGrath, Murphy, J., Murphy, W., Radley, Sullivan, and Murphy, T., manager. J. B. One Hundred and Eleven One Hundred and Twelve THE BASEBALL TEAM BASEBALL 1937 Approximately one hundred and forty candidates answered coach FitzGerald ' s call in March. There were these lettermen returning: Burns, Clement, Sullivan, Martin, Flanagan, Bjorklund, Keyes, Smith, Dacey, and Clay. After having the game with Jamaica Plain High School rained out, the team made an auspicious start by swamping Trade, 18 to 2. To everybody ' s disappoint- ment, the game with Groton was called off because of rain. A surprising Roslindale High team won 9 to 6 on an eighth-inning surge. After being outplayed for seven innings, the Harvard J. V. s won, 10 to 5, on a second disastrous eighth inning. Boston College High made the most of three big innings to win, 18 to 7. A total of 10 erro r s gave the game to the Harvard Freshmen, 12 to 6. Despite the four defeats in five starts, the prospect of beating English High is still bright. Behind the bat, Goldenberg played an excellent game offensively and defensively, amply filling the vacancy at catch until Wingfoot Flanagan became eligible. Slattery started at first base; but, because of weak sticking, has had to share honors with Dacey. Young Clement, Class III, has left no doubt about his position as regular second baseman by hitting and fielding well. J. F. Sullivan started strongly at shortstop; but, because of failure to hit safely ' has yielded the position, at least temporarily, to Red Radley. Fred Twinkletoes Keyes has been the sole occupant of the third base position because of his excellent fielding and batting. Left field is the scene of a struggle between Harry Bosher Gorman and Ed Flash Martin. May the better man win. Tom Higgins, Class, III, snagged the regular center field position because of his dependable performance at bat. Bunzo Burns, diminutive southpaw, has held down the right field position and has been the lead-off man on the batting order. Nuff sed. The pitching staff is difficult to describe. At times it looks like the best Latin School has had for some time; at other times it, like X, appears to be the unknown quantity. The staff consists of Broddie Bjorklund, Silent Lou Clay, Danno Dacey, Jim Connolly, and Red Radley. Although the first part of the season has been unsuccessful; it does not seem pos- sible that it will continue to be. The pitching staff is capable; the infield, composed of veterans, is good despite occasional lapses; the outfield is hitting and fielding well. Theoretically we have a winning team. As soon as a few rough edges are polished off, the team is bound to succeed. It should be a credit to Coach FitzGerald and to Latin School. J. G. G. One Hundred and Thirteen One Hundred and Fourteen THE TRACK TEAM TRACK 1937 Paced by the steady leadership and ability of last year ' s stars, Capt. John Wal- lace, Joe Crowley, Ed Martin and Dan Dacey, the Purple and White tracksters managed to maintain a fair rating among the other Boston schools. Despite several first-place winners, the scarcity of competitors was the outstanding factor in causing defeat. The close of the season showed that, although never entirely out of the com- petition, we had won but one meet, a quadrangular affair with Dorchester, Trade and Commerce. The scores of the meets were: 1 — Roxbury Memorial I 10 — Latin 67 — Commerce 46. 2 — Mechanic Arts I 15 — Latin 88 — Trade 74. 3 — Latin 147 — Trade 101 — Commerce 96 — Dorchester 50. 4 — English 147 Latin 86. Our participation in the Armory Relay Carnival showed evidences of a well- balanced team. The Class D relay team (Winheller, Coughlin, Slattery, Ellis) quaified for the Regimental finals as did the B team (Ed Martin, Keefe, Gross, Burke). In this race, one of the closest of the day, Joe Burke, running anchor, barely managed to nose out at the tape Stover of English. The only point-winning team of the day was our medley (Keefe, H. Wallace, Koufman, Crowley), which defeated Commerce, Trade, and Memorial by Joe Crowley ' s spectacular last lap. This victory one and one-half seconds behind the record, earned five points towards the Reggies and, incidentally, was the only first-place performance turned in by the Purple and White runners. v When the Regimental tabulations were completed, we were found to be in fourth place, trailing Mechanic Arts, English, and Memor ial, all of these schools having un- usually powerful teams, as shown by the State meet. In this,- English took top honors in Class A, and Memorial, in Class B. Letters for the year 1937 were awarded: Crowley, Hutcheson, Eastmond, Casey, Martin, Koufman, Wallace, Connolly, Slattery, Frank, Ellis, Mover, Keefe, H., Keefe, J., Coughlin, Stein, Cameron, Gross, Loukas, Winheller, Dacey, Rowen, S., Arlock, Ajemian, Burke. Since next year sees the return of most of these boys, we can look to the track season of 1938 to bring a succession of Latin victories. J. K.

That didn ' t sound hard to me for I reasoned he is just human and can be reached; but what I didn ' t take into consideration was that he had a few hundred men, secret service operators, and professional bouncers guard- ing him from busies, cranks, autograph-seekers, and other pests . It didn ' t dawn on me I might be regarded as one of those pests. See the President! It was as if I had asked to fill a bushel bag full of gold certificates from the United States Treasury. For day after day I tried to gain admittance to the WhiteHouse and was about to lose hope, when one day I slipped in and was brought before the President ' s personal Secretary, Mr. Marvin McIntyre who directed me to one of our Senators, Henry Cabot Lodge. After meeting the Honorable Senator from Massachusetts I was sent to see the United States Maritime Commissioner, Joseph P. Kennedy, B. L. S. 1908 and this time I really was at sea; but I soon got back to Terra Firma, for I was promised an in- terview at nine-thirty the following morning. Well, bright and early the next day I arrived at the executive quarters. At first it seemed as if I was going to be disappointed again, for the preceding day Mr. Roose- velt had buried a dear friend of his, a Mr. Morgan (not America ' s prominent banker), but as Mr. Roosevelt was preparing to retire to his family, I was granted a few precious minutes with the President of the United States. Yes, I met the President, a man who carries the fate of a nation on his broad, capable shoulders. A man placed at the tiller of the ship, of state, not unlike a sun- and wind-burnt cod fisherman, guiding his craft through roaring surfs and pounding seas. This man, our President, has risen from the throes of an incurable disease to a spot high in public trust and esteem. Mr. Roosevelt, although severely criticized by some, seems to be backed by the voting populace, as was clearly demonstrated at the last presidential election, when he smothered his Republican foe, Alfred Landon, ex- governor of Kansas, in a history-making barrage of popular and electoral votes, carry- ing forty-six out of the forty-eight states. Some brand his type of control as dictator- ship and alphabet soup, because of his numerous plans, but the majority string along with their genial, clear-thinking leader. After briefly shaking hands, Mr. Roosevelt conversed with me for a short time, and all the dialogue was controlled by him, for I was too overcome to think of anything to say. After chatting for a few minutes with me, the President left the room, saying that he was deeply grieved over his friend ' s death, but referred me to his confi- dential secretary, James, his son. After a short wait, I was cheerfully greeted by James, who assured me any ques- tions he might answer would be from his father ' s point of view, and after reading Nea : O ' H ara ' s Take It From Me column the other evening, it is just as well James an- swered my questions. Mr. O ' Hara pointed out that any news which the President One Hundred and Seventeen imparts to visitors at the White House cannot be repeated without, although said per- son may repeat his own question. Naturally, as a student, my questions concerned the problem of education, and my first query brought forth the point, whether or not the Federal Government should aid the cities and states in their problems of education; and after a moment of con- sideration, James responded that he thought that cities and states should control these problems themselves, for each locality possesses its own distinct peculiarities, and could not be grouped together as a whole because of these peculiarities, but he also thought that the Federal Government should peek behind the scenes and see that the mechanism is being properly controlled. My next question brings us closer to home; for having heard my history teacher (Mr. Burton-330) say that there were nearly two hundred educational centers within a mile radius of our own B. L. S., I asked the President ' s son whether or not he thought that New England is and will continue to be the educational center of the United States. His reply was in the affirmative, that he thought New England did possess the greatest educational opportunities of our country; but other sections of the nation were, by leaps and bounds, increasing their educational facilities. My next question touched on the sorest spot in Amerca politics at present, relief. I asked 1 if my informer thought that the Federal Relief Administration would be con- tinued indefinitely, and James Roosevelt shot back a quick yes , for, he said, the government will always feel the necessity to support the poor unfortunates who through no fault of their own, cannot secure employment. Having noticed about this time a great increase of Junior Colleges, I asked if Mr. Roosevelt thought this movement would grow. He seemed to think this movement would rapidly advance, because those people and students who cannot afford a high- priced tuition fee and other expenses will attend these institutions, so that they may advance beyond a simple high school education and profit by their knowledge. These few questions ended altogether too soon from my point of view, and I was promised a more formal interview the next time the President visits Boston. I am naturally enough looking forward to that time with impatient eagerness. FREDERICK W. RICHMOND ' 40. One Hundred and Eighteen ANCHOR LINOTYPE PRINTING COMPANY 144 HIGH STREET, BOSTON, MASS.
