4 s r f ( I ;4ii r r-S u - t Ir I V . In the realm of philosophy, the man whose works, above all others, embody that curious blend of enthusiasm and unconventional creativity peculiarly American, is Ralph Waldo Emerson. Reared in the stern but by then yielding atmosphere of a puri- tanical society, he was, in a sense, the spiritual descendant of old Cotton Mather, the great divine of early New England. For although Emerson was swept up in the great transcendental movement of the early nineteenth century and was identified as one of its brightest stars, there still remained a powerful bond between his life and the past. He had clearly inherited from his Puritan forefathers the zeal and passion, the inner fire, the deep conviction which blazed so fiercely within the ardent souls of those prophets of an earlier age. Intellectually, his writings were in the spirit of Spinoza and the German idealists. He was a romanticist who breathed fresh life into the theory of the union of God and soul, and who preached the universal symmetry of spiritual truth. In his writings there are no sanctimonious moralisms; on the contrary, every phrase is a battle cry, a rallying point behind which those who ever seek to divert life from its staid, worn channels into the new and unknown may take heart and courage. Thus the influence of the sage of Concord has spread far beyond the limits of nineteenth century Boston, to wherever men have sought understanding and wisdom. Since the aim of the Boston Latin School has always been the development of intellect, the Yearbook dedicates this issue to a man who contributed much of himself to its emancii)ation. published by the seniors of BOSTON LATIN SCHOOL Boston, Massachusetts June, 1957 quap: hoc in libro CONTINENTUR PRAECEPTORES STUDENTES PRIMANl RES GESTAE RES ATHLETICAE ORDINATIONES SCHOLASTICAE DIES AD PRIMANOS PRAECIPUUS JOHN J. DOYLE t4] Headmaster’s Message This is an age of confusion. With the ever-present menace of cold wars, ])olice actions, and nucleai’ weapons, the nation’s populace is in a constant state of turmoil. There is little wonder that this state of con- fusion and indecision has spread to the younger generation. Life must go on. If we give in to the troubled thoughts so j revalent in the world today, we are adopting an attitude of fatalism. This out- look has been more than evident in the rising generation. In past years, boys and girls of high school age have been avid, alive, and ambitious. The young folks of today have shown a tendency to be lethargic and indifferent. This is a most unfortunate situation. We are still a flourishing nation. Our economy is sound. Our defenses are in excellent hands. The rising generation must be ready to take its ])art in the American Way of Life. Here at the Boston Latin School, your Masters have done their utmost to give you a good foundation. We strongly believe in the old- fashioned precepts of education. Over one hundred years ago Lord Brougham, in addressing the British Parliament, said : — “Education makes a people easy to lead, but difficult to drive ; easy to govern, but impossible to enslave.’’ These words are as true today as they were in 1828. Education is the salvation of our nation. You have made your start here under a program enriched by a tradition of three hundred and twenty years of classical studies. Your choice may be the liberal arts, the sciences, or business. Whatever it is, you have the foundation for success. However, if success is to come to you, you must not succumb to the temptation of the times and coast along. Whatever is worth having is worth working for. Give your utmost to whatever task confronts you. If you follow the advice and entreaties of your Latin School Masters, you will be the success we wish for you. The decision is yours to make. [ 5 ] PHILIP MARSON “P(n tiii(i Is Such Siccct Snnoic . . — Shakespeare Confronted with a request to write a one-page message, the long- time adviser to the Rcnistcc and the Liber Actojinn was baffled. Several courses were open to him: (a) to write a true account of his life, revealing for the first time the Machiavellian personality of the Monster of 235, with his secret pipeline to the green inkhelds which produce more low grades in composition than any other gusher in the English- si)eaking world; (b) to confess how an E.H.S. alumnus, laboring under the horrible handicap of never having been an undergraduate at either H.L.S. or Harvard, has struggled vainly for thirty-one years to raise the scholastic standards of the school which he had been conditioned to deride as the home of stoop-shouldered, bespectacled “squares”; (c) to produce the time-worn cliches about how hard it is to tear himself away from his sad-eyed colleagues and his grief-stricken students; or (d) to compose a profoundly philosophical and thoroughly boring piece of ad- vice to the ])oor young devils who must continue to shovel academic coal under the ])rodding of a faculty api)ropriately provided with pitch- forks. I have decided to adopt none of these nauseating alternatives. Be- low, for posterity (which is going to pay even less attention to what I say than have my puinls) I am leaving a few biographical notes, which may partly exjilain how I have, for these many decades, evaded the men in the white coats; what in my background accounts for my odd behavior; and why I have tilted with ever more stubborn windmills in attempting to teach the beauties of literature ami the intricacies of composition to resistant adolescents. fti] Excn-pts from “ Hiupya phia Aa r l varkia” 1892: Shortly after birth, when shown an ant-hill, the subject mani- fested linguistic precocity by re])lying to his mother’s (piestion in perfect German as he aliirmed his desire for food by shouting, “Ja! Ja! Ja!” Five days later, he ama .ed the household by shifting to Russian as he said clearly “Da.! . . . Da!’’ 1899: On a visit to Germany, his philological information was greatly increased as he learned to distinguish between Pilseim- and Mini- chner: to digest PinnpevHickeJ . VL( ' iie)-i chinfz(‘J, and Haseii pfeft ' e)-; and to pronounce Koiist(nu)i()poIif(niisrhrirl() 0 (hpHackpf( ' ifn-(irs( ' U- schaft. 1900: During the next nine years, although learning at first to play the violin under the tutelage of Emmanuel Fiedler (father of the famous Arthur), he drove seven consecutive teachers and his neighbors to near-madness as he proved that fiddling was not his forte. 1906-1915: Like the normal American boy, preferring sports to phi- lology and music, he concentrated on football, basketball, and baseball. In fact, if at the time he were asked which he preferred — a varsity letter or a Phi P eta Kappa key, he would have an- swered by dashing for the nearest gymnasium, diamond, or grid- iron. 1916-1957 : During the next forty-one years, he taught in five preparatory schools, a very difficult foreign language — English. He was, in addition, an athletic coach ; a camp director ; an adviser to clubs, publications, and many individuals as puzzled and perplexed as he ; a lecturer ; a reader of college entrance examinations ; a hus- band, a father, and a grandfather. At St. Paul Academy, he was suspected of being the mysterious Duke of Duluth ; and up to the time he began his checkered career at Latin School, he was known as the “Duke” to hundreds of schoolboys. Later he became the “Chief” to thousands of campers and counselors at three summer camps. Finally, at B.L.S., his greatest honor came when the in- ternational society which he had founded, the A.O.A., crowned him the Wise Old Aardvark.

[ 1 «] President’s Message This (lay is an important one in our lives for several I’easons. First, it marks the end of a long period of training at the Latin School, during which our faculty has attempted to instill in us, not only the fundamentals of knowledge, but a sense of values as well. Secondly, it marks the end of a comparatively-sheltered life, and begins one which is not so easy. Before this time, any signs of maturity in us were admired; now they are expected. We cannot hope to compete in the bristling whirlpool of business today unless we are ready to accejit our positions as responsible adults. If this year has not already separated the men from the boys, the ensuing years will. We are graduating into a rapidly-advancing age, where new techno- logical developments today may be obsolete tomorrow. We are faced with exciting prospects, among them the knowledge that we will be contribut- ing to these changes and enriching our own lives at the same time. And yet, we must not be overly desirous of material gain. Financial success is, of course, desirable; but when we allow it to corrupt our spiritual and moral values, it destroys the balance which guides our lives. Our years at Latin School have taught us many things. They have showed us that we can attain something if we are willing to work for it. Also, they have showed us the spirit of brotherhood which should be with us always. When we look back upon these years, we will remember reverently the memjbers of the Faculty, who gave of themselves so willingly that we might learn, our Headmaster, Mr. Doyle, and our advisor, Mr. Dunn, always a loyal and true friend. Tomorrow is a new day, with new problems. Let us pray that we, the Class of 1957, will face these problems with courage and faith, and thus carry on the ancient traditions of the Latin School.

However, though skeptical at fir.st, we soon saw the truth of Mr. Levine’s battle-cry, “They’re looking to us to set the examiile.” To be mode.st, we excelled in everything. What other class could have performed so admirably during last ])eriod on Friday with Dr. McCarthy? Among other things, we learned there the futility of “telling the machine at Princeton” that we didn ' t have time to study “vocaaaabulary.” On the other hand, we soon were able to recognize a “significant result” even when there was none to be found. For this aptitude, we are especially grateful to the school’s leading Democrat, Mr. Pearson. As for i)hysics, we were all very good in Latin. After experiencing the subtle humor of “Tall Paul” for three months, we finally forced the unfortunate master to leave for the serene confines of Roxbury Memorial. Alas, the new ma.ster, Mr. Lieberfarb, was not content with our highly logical argument that since we were the “language grou]).” we deserved two unprepared periods a week. Every one in 301 became a “Latin shark” as a result of the diligent teaching of Messrs. Ho])kinson and Dolan, who, it seems, never do anything ] eculiar in class. F ut, sticking with us through thick and thin was the gi’eate.st F ' rench teacher of all time, “Mr. Latin School.” Max Levine. With the hoi e that we have done nothing to disappoint him. we sincerely thank him and all our teachers for their untiring efforts in our behalf. EDWARD R. DRACHMAX JOHX T.

We were sadly mistaken aljout avoiding languages, for early in the year vocabulary sheets containing such words as the following were di.stributed ; “calcate. ” redu.xio.” chase.” “gink.” memory boy,” Robin Hood’s barn, smash it.” and so forth and the like ad nauseam. As each succeeding day came and went, some other boob” would produce a bigger and better slide rule (or slipstick” as us ’umble old timers would say). Eight hours of homework a night, six of which are devoted to history, have lowered the .stagnant pools of our minds to bestial oblivion.” Much to KZ’s chagrin, Freedman has squared the circle, trisected the angle, and duplicated the cube.

Boylan (“you can’t get something for nothing”) and Leiter. this year’s “chem corner has fathomed the answers to such world-shaking problems as “What’s this valence jazz?” in preparation for the boards. Naturally, no one except “Flig Al” will be taking the chemi.stry board. As is ritting in the Latin School, our Latin assignments were handed down, not by one, but two masters, with IMr. Miller finally achieving his long awaited goal of a “real lA division. ’’ and IMr. Hojjkinson handling the majority of the students. Both divisions pursued the well-known Latin classic, McKay’s (some editions were Clark’s) Interlinear — better known as Virgil’s Aeneid. Perhaps our happiest hours were spent in Room 208. where IMr. Pearson, always with the welfare of the student in mind, generously l rovided the boys with mental outlines and source material; his words. “If you boys have time tonight, ami I know you have,” will forever ring in our ears. Our fourth subject was “baby arithmetic,” Physics, as it is known by the tlannel-mouthed “ginks” in IMr. Shea’s happy division. There is on this earth no feeling more moving than that which assails the student who is the proiul I’ecipient of a “0.068 4.00“ Naturally, any group of boys fortunate enough to have Mr. Gordon Irons as master in English are treated to the widest variety of material, and any one of his “I’ight type” boys can tell the exact conditions under which Whitman’s “barbaric yawp” rang over the rooftops. In closing, the boys of 304 would like to exijress their gratitude to all their “humble, old-time men,” without whose guidance, survival might have been much more difficult.

With heads high and eyes hashing, they eagerly set forth to face all the terrors and difficulties which the following year’s battle could provide. Comrades-in-arms, marching boldly to the memorial hymn, “Hound Dog,” they charged valiantly into the merciless hail of tire which rained down upon them. Obstacles on the left of them, obstacles on the right — each seem- ing more menacing and more impossible to overcome than the pre- ceding. Especially bloody were Hills 319 and 131. There the lads found themselves outmanouvered by the superior strategy of General Daniel Shay(s). Again and again he would confuse them with his behind-the-back feints, then i)ut them to flight with his four barreled .55 amareno shot-guns. The situation went from bad to worse. The same heavy casualties were reported in 131. Although valuable knowledge and exiJerience was gained, the results were ghastly. Old “Genghis” Rosenthal was out to massacre, and he was using no “watered charges this year. Beaten back at every turn, the lads withdrew to the shelter of the Old Abbot Farm situated on Route 307. There, the old proprietor “Uncle Tom Sheehan received them with open arms and comforted them in their hour of misery. With his wit (or was it humor?), ever con.stant smile, and deej) concern for the boys, he was a life-saver, a friend in need. Strengthened l)y his faith in their struggle for victory, the young rallied themselves for one last charge. Forward they went, sensing the objective gradually coming within their reach. Then it happened. With unerring (?) accuracy. Com- mander Klein, newly api)ointed officer of Senior Mathematics, leveled his guns against the attacking force. The troops wavered and broke; confusion reigned supreme. j’hen, suddenly, all tiring and resistance ceased. The eight-month campaign had ended. Bandaged, limping, but still smiling, they mounted the tinal hill and looked upon the valley of success — their diplom as. BARRY KIRSCHBAUM EDWARD KAPLAN Class Scribes KIRK.

Nemzoft ' , the keeper of the 214 dormitory, who. by means of endless catchwords, outlines, dates, questions, and hfty point tests, managed to condense the hi.story of America into a few short months. Mr. Thompson, the witty chemist, who. by many unpleasant a.s- signments taught the junior alchemists that H_0 is hydrous oxide or water. .Mr. Ma rson, our English teacher, who overcame many obstacles to teach a group of illiterate scientists the basic fundamentals of Eng- lish and the evils of the scientific and modern method. Mr. Carroll, who used Do-It-Yourself Physics books, sound, heat, and mechanics sheets, and a Dull book to teach the boys the funda- mentals of physics so that they could api)ly them to their chemi.stry. Mr. Salvucci, our assi.stant home room ma.ster, who we hope will have better luck with next year’s class during the home room periods. We wish to thank Mr. Dobbyn, our home room master and mathe- matics teacher, for all he has done during the year to help the “Lesser Wizards. We are also rather fortunate (although we do not brag, we do boa.st) to have among our classmates five starting football players, two basketlnill i)layers (including the team caiitain) eight members of the National Honor Society, two high officers of the Senior Class, one bookmaker, one brownie, an editor of the Yearbook, a member of the Register Executive Board, two operators of Tardy Desk, and twenty-nine boys named Cabelnick.

Hobbies swimming-, waiting for vacations. 333 W’e. the boys of 333, otherwise known as the “top researchers’’ of our class, would like to take this opportunity to reflect upon the past year. Although we are not the smartest group in the school, we did achieve some accomplishments; such as, receiving more letters than any other room and the Pygmy Ant Trophy for Juvenile Delinquency. Our room motto was “Next year at Simmons!’’ Our room song was “I Want My Maypo.’’ We leave Mr. Liberfarb with the hoi)e that someday he will realize his life-long ambition of creating another Frankenstein. Mr. Bergen deserves our eternal gratitude for helping us to “hit the highlights’’ and for enrolling us in the Army Six Month Plan. Our thanks are also e.xtended to “Jazzy’’ Callanan for inviting us to “come in and sit down, if you’ve got no place else to go.’’ “Jazz” is supposed to be a doctor, but many have found out that he is a “surgeon.” If we remember nothing else, we will rememljer how Mr. Kozodoy ])atiently reviewed algebra with us three different times. Our sympathy is extended to “G.B. stop the music” Cleary, who was unfortunate enough to have us as Latin scholars. We thank Mr. Cleary for the assistance he gave us throughout the year. The preceding was a paid political announcement.

IMr. Fitz didn’t make out the check in July. It was in August.) Hen- ' an is really livening ip) the i lace. To the accompaniment of a KiOO-key orchestra, he resoundingly sings “Ach Du Liebe Contrary-to- Fact.” FIravo! Here’s a late arrival. Uncle Dave, violently pulling up his basketball shorts and pushing the hair from his eyes, pulls up a chair. Kellner Levine hands him a menu, but Dave can’t read it too well because it’s written in very small letters (for convenience, you know). In a corner I see Mr. Irons and his favorite pupil. Daniel. How are you enjoying the party, sir? — Snore, zzzzzzz, snore. Daniel, what do you have to say? — Er,-er,-er,-er. . . . wildcat banks?” As I turn my gaze across the room, 1 see Ye Okie Little Latin Circle, headed by General Davison, ably assisted by 143. The line forms at the rear, scroungers. W’ell, here’s Mr. “Muzzey.” How’s the beer, sir? “It’s great! If you don’t believe me, look it up. Oh, by the way, do you recall what radio station first broadcasted the attack on Bearl Harbor?” No, I’m afraid I don’t. Well, well! Our old preacher. Brother Payl, crying into his mug. is sitting with “Lucky” Liberfarb, his successor. What’s the matter, Paul? “I miss brother Stick so much! That dope is much better than the stuff at Memorial.” Laughing Liberfarb, lustily licking his liquid lager, laconically laments; “Alas! Lousy Latin School Lads! Only one student in the l unch.” Before I dei)art fi’om the jovial mirth of this gala affair, I take one last look at the friendly familiar faces. I’ll remember them forever (or at least until June lOth) ! WARREN BARGAD HERBERT GINSBERG Class Scribes SLATTERY — YANOVER ' ..S ' .

A strange maelstrom Of familiarity, A place remembered somewhere. Escaping from the dim recesses of dreams And childhood, Rlemling, pushing, intruding Eor ii moment into life. But in this earthly light it fades. Leaving an empty ache, A sense Of having lost a fragment of oneself. [C8] [fi9] I demand a recount. It’s MAJOR, not captain. I’l’ccision i)liis. Ta ' , your it.

' s of ’57 as.sembled in the hallowed auditorium of Boston Latin for the traditional Clas.s Day exercise.s. The proceedings were opened with a cordial greeting from Headmaster John J. Doyle. President Richard Wulf then as- sumed the position of master of cere- monies and presented the class president’s address. Next followed the recitation of the Class Poem by Mark Jay Mirsky and John Joseph King’s jtrize-winning Class Day After the oration, the transition was made to the more humorous part of the program, in which the students and mas- ters alike were subjected to the good- natured witticisms of the Class Prophecy and Class Will. Looking into their crystal ball and prophesying the future of the “boys” were Burns, Ginsburg, Goodman, King, and IMirsky. Acting as attorneys for the Class and drawing up the will were Daley, Grover, and Murphy. A duet under the direction of Philip Daniel Jlanfredi and a piano solo by Marshall Jay Sheinblatt provided the mu- sical entertainment. It was a pleasure and an honor to have as guest speaker James H. IMclnerney, President of the Class of ’32. The program was concluded with the singing of the Class Song, written by Phillip Daniel Manfredi and played by Marshall Jay Sheinblatt. C ' redit for a successful program is due to the efforts of i Ir. Goi’dcn Irons, Mr. Philip Marson, Mr. Houlihan, the Latin School Band, and co-chairmen Swepson and Tsucalas and entii-e committee. [ 72 ] Ring Committee Towards the end of its junior year, the Class of 1957 was faced with the problem of electing a Ring Committee. Nine rep- resentatives, one from each homeroom, gathered to discuss styles, prices and de- livery. Gripes and groans were heard from the library when a representative of Scho- lastic Jewelers arrived to measure the finger of each prospective Senior and re- lieve him of a five dollar bill, old or new, for a deposit. The members of the class were offered four styles: the traditional purple amethyst, large or small size, or the less expensive black onyx, also in a large or small size. October arrived and so did the rings, to the joy and delight of the Ring Committee and Seniors. After doling out the remain- ing balance, the Seniors left the library, bearing on their left hands that proud and distinguished emblem ,the Class Ring.

Reilly, Stick, Swepson, Blase, George, Victory Dance After crowning their string of victories with a spectacular defeat of the Blue-and- Blue eleven in the morning, the Boston Conference chamits celebrated at the fourth annual Purple-and-White Dance — nioi-e suitably named the bctory Dance. As in the past, the gala event was held on Thanksgiving night, in the celebrated Charter Room of the New England Mutual Hall. With the smooth music of Georgie Gra- ham’s orchestra ])laying in the back- ground, the fellows twirled their favorite “angels” through the evening from eight to twelve. Afterwards, all headed to the various night-spots to conclude a mem- oi ' able and enjoyable evening. Congratulations to oui’ able co-chairmen Raul Johnson and Bob McCool for making this dance so successful. [ 74 ] Mid-Winter Prom On Wednesday night, February 20, the traditional Mid-Winter Prom — under the auspices of the hockey and basketball teams, and under the very able co-chaii ' - menship of Bob Powers, Frank Crosson, and Jim McLaughlin — - was held in the Windsor Room of the Hampton Court Hotel. Though the members of the hockey team and their fans were unable to be present for the first dance because of a game with Arlington, they were able to appear later in the evening to enjoy the “swinging sounds” made by Ken Reeves and his orchestra. After the last dance had been played, the fellows whisked their dolls away in their sleek “El Dorados” to the various local night-spots for a bit of food and good cheer. The Mid-Winter was once again a success. First Row: Irwin, Rubin, Gilarde, Cannon, Powers, Co-Chairman; McLaughlin, Co- Chairman; Crosson, Co-Chairman; Hunter, .Johnson, Tsucalas, Mazui-.

Farewell Prom After an exten.sive search and much de- liberation as to where the Farewell Prom should be held, it was finally decided to use the P)lue Hills Country Club, White and pink dinner-jackets and blooming gowns added much to the beauty of the affair, held on May 28. The tuxedoed gal- lants and dates danced from eight to twelve to the music of Freddy Guerra and his orchestra. After the conclusion of the Grand March, and the choosing of a (jueen, the general order of the evening was to climb into the “old buggy” and head for one of the famous night spots along Route Nine for a bit of food and good cheer. The Class offers heartiest con- gratulations to Chairmen George and Wulf and to their committee for making the Senior Prom a great success. [7C] Class Banquet The annual Class Banquet was held on May 8 at the Empire Room of the Hotel Bradford. This year’s dinner was enjoyed in honor of IMr. Philip Marson, who is re- tiring and will become an honorary mem- ber of the Class of 1957. After consuming the delicious stuffed roast chicken, the members of the class sat back, puffing the traditional cigars, and listened to an entertaining array of speakers, goaded on by our witty toast- master, Mr. Dunn. With the tearful moan- ing of sad goodbyes — that is, until grad- uation evening, the boys (excuse us; the men) went off in many directions. The banquet owes its great success to the efforts of an unusually capable com- mittee.

It was the third time, in this re- porter’s life in the school, that the squad, under the able direction of “Pep” Mc- Carthy, has won the (’onference Cham- Itionshij). Starting- off the season with a bang, Latin romped over Memorial 31-G. On Co- lumbus Day, the team toyed with a usually tough R.S. High team and won 31-1-5, with second and third stringers playing the fourth quarter. On its next outing, the team looked like world beaters, shutting out Tech 19-0. Avenging last year’s upset, Latin swamped Trade 32-0. The follow- ing two games were the toughest of the year, as the team was tied 7-7 on succes- sive weeks by South Boston and Brighton. With any luck at all, the team could have easil ' won both ; however, fumbles, and in the Southie game a quick whistle, pre- vented a perfect season. Recovering from its two ties, the team licked a good Dorch- estei’ team 19-12 in a thriller. In the big Thank.sgiving Day game, the squad, in- spired in the last moments by the news that Southie had lost, came from behind on the air arm of Bob Corvi to win the game 19-12 and the Conference Chamjiion- shi p. [ 80 ] Our line averaged close to 190 pounds. Captain McCool opened many a hole for his Co-Captain fullback “Slash” Johnson, whom “Pep” called the “old Pro.” Throughout the year, the “boys,” Swep- son, Laird, McCool, Reilly, Zissis, and Powers, gave Corvi “all day” to hit Frank Crosson for touchdowns. The other big “little” man on the squad was halfback Joe Deyesso, who picked up valuable yard- age all year when the going became rough. On defense, George, Haynes, and Greene subbed for Corvi, Johnson and Deyesso. Higgins was a jack-of-all-trades, playing both line and backfield. Although the championship was a team effort, the Corvi-Crosson combination de- serves all the credit it gets. Many a time did Frank make impossible catches to set up, or score, Latin touchdowns. P)Ob Corvi looked like Otto Graham on the field in the way he led his receivers. The team outscored its opponents 165- 59. A familiar sight was Mike Reilly breaking into the opposing team’s back- field with Kelley to throw the opposition’s passer for a loss. Hats off to a football team which gave, all year, its rooters thrills and enjoyment as it fought its way to the Conference Chami)ionship. BOSTON LATIN SCHEDULE Lat.

Cross Country This year’s cross country team, al- though it was not outstanding, offered a great deal of material (to the tune of eighty uniforms, forty active runners and fifteen lettermen) with which to build. Cross country, besides providing healthy outdoor e.xercises, also provides roaring lions, beautiful girls, roaring tigers, beau- tiful girls. . . . Getting back to the cross country, the team’s outstanding perform- ers were Co-Capt. Chris Karimbakis, Co.- Capt. Bob Kirk, LaMarre, Cashion, Tallas, and Hasiotis. Backing them up all the way were “Happy” Holbrow, Friel, Mack- in, Butters, and Schaffner. The high point of the season was the “Reggies” meet in which four Phidipides from Avenue Louis Pasteur placed within the top twenty. Coaches Cary, Ronan, and Bell have good reason to look forward to a good season next year, because, besides the pos- sibility of having more runners, it has been bruited about that the Franklin Park Zoo is getting another roaring lion. [ 82 ] Soccer Although the Purple and White lost their opening game to a determined Tech- nical High team, they nevertheless liter- ally blazed through a highly successful season. Sparked by a fast-moving front line and assisted ably from the backfield, the Latin team easily trounced over its opponents. Specializing in fast crucial goals were the Galins cousins, Aivars and Valdis, as- sisted by wingman Ozols and Jakeman. Although playing for their first season, halfbacks Melnick and Adomkaitis showed promising form. Providing many an im- portant assist and sparking a tight back- field defense was Berger, center halfback, and fullbacks Ocheteco and Borenstein. Goalie “Sy” Gottlieb, who unfortunately suffered a foot injury, and Polselli, play- ing the important position of right for- ward, exhibited star performances, al- though both were playing the game as newcomers. The team owes much of its success to coaches Kronitis and J. Galins, and also to Mr. Thomas. 1957 Record Latin 3 Technical Latin 4 Browne Nichols Latin G Medford Freshmen Latin 7 Medford J.V.

Basketball Hampered from the beginning by a gen- eral lack of height and experience, the Boston Latin School Basketball Team had only a mediocre season. However, if it were no t for the fact that the Conference was one of the best in years, the Latin School quintet might have fared better. Despite their hard luck in the beginning, the team’s never-ending spirit, coupled with Coach Patten’s wonderful guidance, brought them five hard-earned victories, the most notable of which was over our rival, English. Scoring was handled mainly by Haynes, Reilly, and Kersner. Haynes scored 26 points in the Tech game. The rebounding duties were carried by Reilley, Khouri, and Slavet. Captain Powers and “Jungle Jim’’ Carey were magnificent on defense. [ 84 ] Record Watch for a strong Liitin School team next year, with the return of four starters and eleven lettermen.

Crew Only in its second year of competition, The Latin School Crew, has proven itself a well-balanced, cooperative unit. The smooth-stroking oarsmen performed ex- cellently last fall and showed great prom- ise. Time and again, they showed their prowess and skill on the Charles River, and come spring the team seems sure of winning the city championship. Under the leadership of the Captain, “Bob” Basile, a veteran of two years, the team now has great unity. Many thanks are due to Mr. Fielding for his guidance and interest.

In the freestyle, our high scorer, Bent- ley, with 58 points, won eleven consecu- tive races to be undefeated, while Bern- stroke and butterhy.

Hockey The 195G Hockey squad was truly worthy of its emblem and colors this sea- son and itrovided countless thrills for spec- tators in every game, performing always in the finest tradition of hockey. For the first time in many a year, Coach Thomas was able to send two lines onto the ice without having any fear that the second line would be bombed with a my- riad of goals. With Co-Captain Frank Crosson. who made switch from defense to center, and Grant, and Co-Captain Mc- Laughlin, the first trio of skaters i)roved a continual headache for the opposing goalies. The other line of Theodore, Golden, and McSwiney, breaking the tra- dition of a high school team’s having just one good line, never let up against the enemy defensemen. To boot, the team pro- duced three all-stars for the conference team: f ' rosson, Irwin, and Grant. [ 88 ] Letter MEN In the defensive vein, the school had a very able crew : Moloney, Irwin, and Cashion. In the nets they were fortunate enough to have two able goaltenders ; Ray Maguire and Bob McCool, who also played defense. The team finished in a tie for second place in the Conference, wdth a 6-3-1 rec- ord, and was invited to attend the State Tourney. We played valiantly but were defeated by a superior team, Arlington. The prospects are bright for next year’s team, and, with several lettermen return- ing, there is an excellent chance w ' e will recapture the city crown.

Track Under the able leader. hip of their coach “Charlie,” Mr. “Fitz” Fitzgerald, the 195() B.L.S. Track Team enjoyed great .success. In addition, it turned out many stars and set many records. In most of its meets, Latin had an easy time vanquishing its foes. However, in its meets against Tech and against our tra- ditional foe, English, the team met with more difficulty and was unable to defeat these opponents. Nevertheless, the team managed to win a majority of its meets and finish third in the Reggies. In class A, Co-Captains Swepsen and Kirk, together with “Bobo” Gray, were frequent winners in the “300,” “1000,” and “50” respectively. Another outstand- ing performer in the dash was Dick W’ulf. Our relay team, WTilf, Green, Slat- tei v, and Gray, ])laced first in the Reggies and were frequent winners during the year. Greg Tallas was another Reggie l)oint winner. I ' . 0 ] In Class B, Mancini and Brenci were continual winners. The hard luck guy of the team was Joe Lamarre, whose loss hurt 5th team’s chances in the Reggies considerably. In addition, Ernie Zissis’ broken leg was another “bad break” for the team. In Class C, Murray, Ronkin, and Prinz often placed first and won in the Reggies. The foremost star of the team, however, was Lowell Davidson, who won in every race and set a record for the 600 in the Reggies. (Shades of Mayo, Rosenthal, and Rittenberg.) Tim Crowley and Ron Big- ger were also constant threats. A point of interest is that the mile relay team, headed by Lamarre, Kirk, and Davidson, hopes to go to the Penn. State Relays. Although this year’s team will be hit hard by graduation, the prospects for ne.xt year are good with the moving up of the members of classes C and B. Meets January 8 Latin 1st 135 pts.

Golf The Latin School Golf Team, composed entirely of veterans, seems to be a “shoo- in” for its twelfth consecutive city cham- pionship. Under the leadership of Capt. Eddie Krovitz, the squad should meet with no difficulty in fulfilling this quest. Mc- Swiney is the only sophomore on the team. Other prominent members of the team are: Cannon, Tirrell, Lynch, Foley, and Cashion. The meets are held in the sunny pastures of Franklin Park. The success of the team could not have been achieved without the able leadership of Coach Simmons, who, as a point of in- terest, is also the coach of our arch-rival, English. [ 92 ] Tennis With the return of the oustanding jun- iors of last year, and the addition of sev- eral new, hopeful candidates, the Latin squad appears to be a “sure bet” for the city championship. Brams, Singer, Gamer, and hlshman — veterans of the last three years’ cam- paigns — ar e as optimistic as this re- porter. Johns, who was a highly seeded player in New England last year, has now joined the Latin squad, thus insuring the depth necessary for this championship. In addition. Captain Brams states that the team intends to present Coach Dick Thomas with a victory over the peren- nially strong Newton High team in their extra-league game.

Baseball This reporter, entering into an audience with the Delphic Oracle — alias Bob Corvi — received a traditional ambiguous reply concerning the chances of this year’s Latin School “fence-busters.” It seems that the team, hit hard by losses from graduation, has a chance . . . if. . . . On the more serious side, there is an outside chance that this can be the year for a baseball championship. The ultimate suc- cess of the team depends upon whether several of the ball players emerge “on their own.” [ 94 ] In the infield, I see a battle between Bob Corvi and Nick Moia ' ginis for the third base slot. The keystone combination will probably be Fred Karp and John Higgins. However, both will have to hustle to keep their jobs in view of the competition offered by the promising Tommy Bilodeau. Ray Maguire, a three year veteran, is the most logical starter at first base. A battle royal is developing in the out- field among Johnson, Mancini, Tacelli, Ue Yesso, and O’Farrell. It is hoped that these men will supply the team with most of its power. The strong point of the team might well lie in the battery if several players develop there. Frank Burke and Bob Mcf’ool are the leading candidates for catcher. The hard-throwing Saul Stick will lead the pitching corps and will take on most of the work. He will be aided l)y Corvi, Giantis, and Garibaldi. The team will be very competently coached by “Pej)” McCarthy and “Charlie” Fitzgerald, and well managed Ijy Dave Kozodoy. The toughest competition should come from our old foe, English, with Dorchester running a close second. Thus, as the old battle cry, “wait until next year” echoes in my ears, I wish this year’s team the best of luck, and hoj)e that this will be the year. I [ 95 ] Class V and VI Basketball: As in the Bible, our lean years, although not seven, are about to be followed by fat ones. If the academic hatchet does not fall upon the members of this year’s V and VI basketball team, the Latin School may be blessed with a string of Conference championships. With Captain Bar- ringer leading the charge, the team rolled to an 8 and 2 record. He and his five teammates, Costello, Allen, Murphy, Callahan, and Keller are all in Class V and hope to form the nucleus of the Latin varsity in coming years. If they do, and continue to play as they have, only the sky is the limit in the case of future basketball teams. Track: They’re off and running at the Wond- no, it’s at a junior high school track meet. In the weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the younger boys lapped up and around the competition. Special credit is due to Bailey, who set a new record in the “176” and to the midget relay team of Adams, O’Connor, Quinn, and Albert, which took first place in the B.A.A. meet. Baseball: After their third undefeated season, Latin School’s Class V VI baseball team has hopes for another such record in ’57. The only returning player is Paul Costello, an outfielder on last year’s squad. It must also be noted that through Coach Patten’s efforts. Bilodeau and Kammarata, sec- ond-baseman and shortstop, respectively, of the ’55 team, now have good chances for the varsity squad. Coach Patten also has high hopes for Garabaldi, a former V V’l pitcher. Good luck to the fine team and coach for ’57 ! [ !Hi } First Row: Love, Duserick.

When you received this book, the work of the staff and executive board of Liber Actornm came to an end. For, at that time, work which was begun early in the school year, brought to a head in Febru- ary, and to a busy climax in March, was finally completed. No one can imagine just how much work goes into the putting out of such a publication, until he tries it himself. Liber Actornm’s editors wasted no time in finding this out, and now that their work is completed, they can enjoy the “fruits of their labor’’ — a successful publication. To Charles Gamer and Rob- 1 lO’ l ert Wine, the editors, the members of the student body, especially the Senior Class, owe a vote of thanks for a job well done. Thanks and congratulations should not cease here, however, but should next be extended to the members of the executive board, without whose assistance the job never would have been done, to the finan- cial staff, the homeroom writeup staff, the quotation committees, the club officers, the class officers, and the typists. Finally, gratitude is expressed to the four faculty advisers who donated their time and pa- tience so generously — Mr. Sidney Rosen- thal, Mr. Aaron Gordon, Mr. Lee J. Dunn, and Mr. Alfred Rosenthal. To these and all connected in any way with Liber Ac- iorum, thank you for a tremendous under- taking well done.

Aardvarks For non-conformity the n ' orld whips you with its displeasnre. Officers Herbert Ginsburg Lord High Nasal John Kaplan High Flyhait Henry Gabelnick Prominent Proboscis Robert Karp Mitigated Nostril The Aardvark.s have comitleted another .successful year, living- up to their ideals — sloth, over-indulgence, and dodging work. Newly elected honorary members to this most honored conclave include Yawn L. Sullivan, who suffers sociably with others from oversleep. True to Aard- varkian tradition there are no elected officers — mainly because no one has ever been ambitious enough to suggest an elec- tion. This method avoids any envy and argument (which requires the expendi- ture of energy), and only a slight skirmish occurred recently when two magnificently beschnozzed specimens claimed the same office, that of Grand Snoot. This matter was quickly settled by the use of Archi- medes principle, which showed a five quart difference in na.sal displacement. These officers whose names you have read above were the only ones awake at the time this report was written. Other than attempting to sign up en masse for the French Foreign Legion (we were turned down when they discovered we were Aardvarks, and told we weren’t worth .seven cents a day), the club has done little else, a record which we hope to break in following years.

Officers President Richard Faber Vice-President WiLLAM MURPHY Secretary Nathaniel Ehrlich Treasurer Fred Salvucci During its second successful year, the American Music Club could boast of a complete and well-ordered program, rang- ing from the numerous and informative talks given by members and officers on various facets of American Jazz, to the weekly record contest, during which some fortunate member became the owner of a valuable record or album. In line with the first aim of the organi- zation — to promote better understanding of American Jazz as an art — the officers presented weekly tape-recorded recitals by musical luminaries. The continuing suc- cess of the club was due in no small meas- ure to the unflagging interest and assist- ance of Mr. Dobbyn, who has been advisor to the club since its incej tion. With his able hand at the helm, we can look for- ward to a full schedule for ne.xt year.

Aviation Club The air the leitid thinks well, and all throngh which it blcnrs. President Vice-President T reasnrer Secreta) ' ii Gregory G. Tallas Allan B. Brams Henry L. Gabelnick Arthur C. Hasiotis Sierfieant-at-Arms James E. Killian The year’s events in the held of aviation gave the members of the Aviation Club much to discuss and learn. The primary function of the club (contrary to the belief that there is a hying course offered with dues refundable if you fail . . . hying, that is) is to provide the opportunity for boys interested to learn and discuss both the military and commercial sides of the held. With this in mind, the club gave hap and was off and hying with an enjoyable talk on modern engines in commercial aviation. These engines were fully dia- grammed to illustrate their mechanics. [ 108 ] i I I This was followed by an informative ex- planation of rocket engines. At the con- clusion of these talks, the members were allowed time to ask questions and to add bits of information not reported. The members’ interest and promise of partici- pation were manifest by many offers to give talks. This year’s pet project was to be a jet plane, but was later changed to a guided missile which was to have provided a solu- tion for the rivalry between Latin School and the unmentionable establishment across the avenue. Because of sabotage, the project was abandoned. Our whole-hearted gratitude goes to Mr. Murphy for his patient guidance through- out the year. C 10!) } First Row: Maher.

The club’s dual purpose was first to cultivate an interest in current events and second to give its members practice in public speaking.

King Vice-President Robert H. Golden Secretary Mark J. Mirsky Treasurer Arnold E. Perlmutter Serc eant-at-A rms Herbert P. Ginsburg Under the energetic direction of its able faculty advisor, Frank Sullivan, the De- bating Club held a series of debates this season within both the school and the club. Among the outstanding forums held in the hall under the sponsorship of the club was the Arab- Israeli debate, a contro- ver.sy which aroused great interest within the student body. Not only did the club engage in debates with other schools, but also within the club itself a series of extemporaneous speaking contests were held to develop agility and quickness of mind among the members. The members and the ollicers must ])ay tribute to Mr. h’rank Sullivan, whose tire- less energy and enthusiasm have strongly contributed to the success of the club. •1 ' SBMrijIl-lt 1 1 n IS ] !

This year, as always, only the best competed for the top awards which the school can bestow on declaimers. Com- petition was keen in all classes. As is the custom, the prize winners of Classes VI-II were announced amid the coiiR-ratulations of proud parents and well-wishing classmates. The guests of honor, members of the Classes of 1907 and 1982, ended a perfect day with the announcing of the tinal winners in decla- mation.

Krasnoo Secretary Arthur Wiener Treasurer Marvin H. Ring The French Club of 195G-57 once again had a successful year under the capable leadership of President John Daley and the expert guidance of Mr. Max Levine, the club sponsor. Interest in French life, manners, and customs was promoted by the various reports of several active mem- bers of the club. These talks were first given in English and then summarized in French. Discussions were held on the literature, music, and art of France; and careful attention was given to the political situation of France and her colonial em- pire. Famous French heroes, places, and events usually dominated discussions; but there were other interesting sidelights, like “Jim” Krasnoo’s frequent asides on titles, John Daley’s acrostics, and “Marv” Ring’s crossword puzzles. Linguaphone records also helped to brighten up many a meeting. The French Club hopes to conclude the season with its annual Prize Pronuncia- tion Contest.

Through the staging of drama-bits, mov- ies, trips, and especially debates, the mem- bers are introduced to the many fascinat- ing facts of geography, in the broadest use of the term. It is noteworthy to observe how upper- class Social Science Club members joined in combined meetings of the two clubs, to cultivate even further interest. The club is grateful to Mr. Avery for his effective sui)ervision and practical guidance. [ 118 ] German Club . . .

President Richard Albert Vice-President Thomas Larkin Secretarg Kenneth Hootnick Treasurer Arthur Wiener The German Club, under the capable di- rection of Mr. Zoll, has completed another highly successful year. The activities of the club included informative talks about the German language, culture, and his- tory. One of the most interesting talks concerned the present status of Germany as both free and satellite state. A series of puzzles, based on German words and German history, was given by the presi- dent of the club.

For the first time in its history, the club octet, a selected group, was chosen to prepare the club to take part in many school programs. This group was a hit at the N.H.S. Gala Review where they sang our beautiful Alma Mater: “Te scholam matrem patribus qu’et nobis . . . Semper amantes,” and selections from the great musical, Oklahoma. Great credit is due Mr. Famiglietti for his musical instruction and direction, without which the Glee Club could not have been able to succeed.

President Michael Contompasis Vice-President Leonard Kopelman Secretary Paul Baron Treasurer Howard Phillips Once again, under the guidance of Mr. Locke, the faculty advi.ser, the Latin School Greek Club has experienced an- other successful year. The purpose of the Club is to provide all those interested in the culture, literature, and language of ancient Greece an opportunity to develop this interest with the aid of discussion and lectures. During the course of the year, many interesting lectures have been de- livered on ancient Greek literature and poetry, as well as on Greek etymology. In conclusion, we wish to thank Mr. Locke for his never-failing encouragement and assistance.

( tfficers Presidoit BUHTON PeltZ Vice-President WILLIAM SCHAWBEL Seeretarii-Treasnrer CHARLES Idelson As in past years, the Highway Safety Club has emerged as one of the school’s largest clubs. Since driving today is a necessity, the Highway Safety Club stresses to its members the “do’s and don’ts’’ of safe driving. In the early meetings, Mr. Bergen, the faculty adviser, discussed the projier psy- chological attitudes of new drivers. Liter- ature, including the rules and regulations of the Massachusetts Vehicle Law, was distributed. Later, talks, panel discus- sions, and films on safe driving were in- cluded in the club’s iirogram. [ 122 ] The Teen-age Road-E-O, a competitive event to test the driving skills and abilities of teen-age drivers, was overwhelmingly endorsed by our student body. Our licensed members, as well as many licensed drivers of the student body, par- ticipated in the written test preliminaries given by the Road-E-O committee. Two members of the student body were chosen to enter the four obstacle-type exercises which were held on the Boston Common on May fourth. At the end of the school year, a series of tests were also given in preparation for the driver qualification test administered by the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Much credit is due to Mr. Bergen, the club officers, and the members of the ex- ecutive board for their diligent work and their constant efforts to encourage cour- tesy on the highway.

President Viee-PresUhmf See ref ary T reasnrer Richard Wulf Aare Onton Thomas Hogan Bill Murphy ' 1 The Key Club, sponsored Ity the Ki- wanis Club of Boston, is now one of the most active clubs in the school. Its pur- pose is to provide service for both school and community. One of the club’s most successful com- munity projects has been the extensive program of volunteer work at Greater Boston hospitals. The members have also contributed much of their time and effort to charitable organizations such as Red Cross, Red Feather, and The March of Dimes. Under the capable leadership of Donald Friary, the Charity Committee has indeed made an outstanding record ; many newspaper articles have highly jiraised the clulj’s service to the commu- nity. It is fitting that we here give thanks to our sponsors, the Kiwanis Club of Bos- ton. Throughout the year we have been privileged to have several guest speakers from Kiwanis. We are also grateful to Mr. Kozodoy for his friendly guidance and hoi)e that he shall continue in his benevo- lent deeds for many years to come. [ 124 ] Latin Club Latin . . . had a strict relation to all the sciences and culture . . . in Europe. President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer William Ranter Barry Kirschbaum Jason Blank Gerald Davison The Latin Club of 1956-1957 enjoyed a most successful year. Under the guid- ance of Mr. Miller, the club’s enthusiastic sponsor, the Latin Club offered its mem- bers an interesting program of etymol- ogy, mythology, and a study of Roman life. President Ranter lectured on etymology and derivation. Mythological anacrostics were conducted by Davison and Manfredi. Members discussed various phases of Ro- man culture, language, and religion. The officers hope that in the succeeding years, with Mr. Miller’s able direction, the Latin Club will continue to stimulate in its members an appreciation of Roman culture and language.

Mirsky Sec} ' etai-ji HERBERT P. GiNSBURG Treasurer WILLIAM Murphy Under the .skillful leadership of its President, John King, the Literary Club again enjoyed an ext remely stimulating season. Its purpose has been to broaden the scope of its members’ interest in their knowledge of literature. The reports and discussion ran the gamut from Friary’s “Scobhan McKenna’s Performance in ‘St. Joan’ ” to McDonald’s “Jonathan Swift’’; from Mirsky’s “White- head” to Moran’s “Tolstoy,” and many others. Always popular, too, were the lit- erary quizzes, ably conducted and pre- pared by John J. King. For the future, an exciting survey of the drama is planned. Activity was certainly not lim- ited to seniors : a large number of lower classmen enthusiastically shared a large measure of the work and participation. The club again M ' ould like to express its deepest gratitude to its able faculty ad- visor, Dr. Callanan. [12G] Mathematics Club Xature hates caJcalators. President CURTis Hartwic Vice-President Stephen Tracy Secretary John Kaplan Treasurer Joseph Gagan The “Slipstick Set” assembles in Room 220 on the last Friday of every month to discuss the more advanced aspects of mathematics. Among the subjects taken up are : calculus, descriptive geometry, and analytical geometry. It is to the credit of Mr. Greenhalge, our able faculty ad- visor, that so many members leave the meeting with some knowledge of math. Although the “brain trust” of 303 usually shines in discussion, the men of the “hin- terlands” of 332 and 307 do not lag be- hind.

At each meeting, mem- bers disitlayed their models and skill in building them. Each model was accom- panied Ity a talk in which facts of his- torical imjtortance, details, difficulties in the construction, original ideas, and cost were brought out. Both working and solid models were brought in during the year. They ranged from HO Gauge trains, airplanes and fighting ships, to cars, side- arms and models of past eras. At the end of each talk, a short question period was held in which the other members obtained information and exchanged ideas. The models were judged at each meeting by a panel of three judges selected from the members of the Club ; prizes for the best models were awarded at the last meeting. (The Club regrets to announce that its annual project ended in complete failure. The plans for the making of an exact rep- lica of a one dollar l)ill for use in a print- ing press came to an end when our facili- ties were visited by the Treasury Dept.) We wish to thank Mr. Pheeney, our faculty adviser, whose efforts and able supervision made possible our program.

Meetings were held on alternate Thursdays in Room 208 with Mr. Pearson as faculty adviser. Throughout the year, many interesting subjects were discussed by the members, while Mr. Pearson added points of infor- mation which we otherwise would not have learned. Among the more important and more interesting subjects were: the Suez Canal crisis, the plight of the Hun- garians. and the election of 1956. Another frequent activity of the club was a quiz on world afifairs. In the near future, we hope to invite prominent authorities to address the club. The club extends its sincere thanks to Mr. Pearson, through whose efforts we have been afforded an opiiortunity to dis- cuss intelligently some of the problems of the world.

National Honor Society 1956-57 The laruest part of their power is latent-character. Chairman Edward M. Scolnick President Arrigo ] Iongini Vice-President Warren Rargad Secretary ' illiam F. Murphy Treasurer Gerald Davison Although only in its 9th year, the B.L.S. chapter of the X.H.S. has a past fille(i with success, and the endeavors of this year’s X.H.S. have augmented those achieve- ments. In the first part of the year, the mem- bers of the society began their annual duties of tutoring fellow students and selling savings stamps throughout the stu- dent body. Later the society undertook to sponsor the X.H.S. -faculty basketball game, which raised money for the soci- ety’s annual scholarship drive. [ 130 ] True to tradition, the N.H.S. promised the now famous N.H.S. Revue. This re- vue, utilizing school talent, was co-ordi- nated and made successful by the efforts of Mr. Jameson and his N.H.S. committee. The evening was an all-round success, not only by entertaining those who attended but also by providing most of the capital for the N.H.S. scholarships. Membership in the N.H.S. is the highest honor available to a high-school student. To be elected to this body, a student must l)ossess the necessary qualifications of scholarship, service, leadership, and char- acter. It should be the aim of every Latin School boy to qualify for this society. In closing the year, we of the N.H.S. wish to e.xpress our deepest thanks and appreciation to Mr. Kozodoy and Mr. Le- vine, whose gentle guidance and beneficial advice have been responsible for any achievements we have made during this past year.

The Radio Club, under the able guid- ance of Mr. Higgins, has had a very enjoy- able year. The members, all of whom hold government - issued radio operator’s li- censes, have been operating the school’s amateur radio station WITEM through- out the year. Contacts were made in more than 25 states, in Canada, Germany, Swe- den, and England. Of course, not all the club’s contacts involved such great dis- tances : on many occasions mobile stations in the Metropolitan area were contacted, as well as several other high school and college radio club stations. The distance between the two furthest points reached by the station is in excess of 7000 miles. The Morse Code Club, under the aus- pices of the Radio Club, held Morse code and radio theory classes throughout the year. The purpose of the Morse Code Club is to prepare members for an ama- teur radio license examination adminis- tered at the .school. Upon receiving his license, each member “graduates” to full membership in the Radio Club. In this way the membership of the Radio Club lias lieen increased greatly during the past year, f 1T2] ' Radio Club The f euiiifi is the nwd}iess of a far for the f)(iiu of the u ' orJd.

This year, in addition to the advanced courses in First Aid, members have aided CARE in sending parcels overseas, helped other organiza- tions throughout the school, and launched a magazine drive which was most suc- cessful in collecting over two thousand magazines for distribution to hospitals throughout New England. John Donovan and Donald Friary are the Red Cross Club’s representatives at the monthly meeting of the Greater Bos- ton School Chapter of Red Cross Clubs. The an.xiety and interest with which the members worked towards their goal and the full assistance given by the offi- cers and advisers made this season truly outstanding. With the able supervision of Mr. Pow- ers, the organization should continue to flourish and pursue its intent: to develoj) a spirit of generosity in the members so that they will aid those in need. ■ M First Row: Cohen, Mittnick, Bar ad, Tacelli, Donovan (President) ; Mr. Powers, Friaiy (Vice-President); Basile (Secretary); Jacobson, Shapiro, Mendelsohn.

Dobson John D. Kelly James V. Sullivan The Rod and Gun Club, under the direc- tion of Mr. Fielding and Major Kelly, has shown a remarkable growth since its or- ganization three years ago. Students have shown a lively interest in hunting and fishing, and at the meetings have told interesting personal experiences of fishing in various lakes and streams in the United States and Canada. They have also demonstrated techniques in fly-tying and fly-casting. During the course of the meetings, films were shown explaining the correct and safe use of firearms. Particularly inter- esting were films showing the methods of hunting used by professional guides. Although the club is limited to class- room activities, it does provide a place where the students can plan among them- selves to meet outside of school and go hunting or fishing together.

In the spring, the club visited the Medford Boat Club, where instruction was given in boats belonging to the Sail- ing Club. This year, for the first time, a sailing team was formed, which competed in many races with schools, public and pri- vate, from all over the state, and succeeded in winning several trophies for the school. In winning the M.I.T. Regatta, Latin School became the first public school ever to accomplish this feat, for this event is the leading sailing event in New England. For the first time in ten years, Latin School cinched the Schools’ Sailing Tour- nament, defeating a group of private school sailing teams. Congratulations are offered to Presi- dent Rubin and Mr. Powers. Record Mystic Lakes Regatta — second place Schools Sailing Regatta — first place Tufts Regatta — third place M.I.T.

Science Club The current Science Club year has been lively and successful. To accommodate a vigorous and expanding membership, a Science Club Library, containing the latest information in divers scientific fields, has Ijeen founded. It is our hope that this library will help to clarify the Itroblems of interest to all members. We have, this year, shown films, deal- ing with such varied subjects as nuclear energy and light. Also, discussions and deltates on a variety of interesting scien- tific subjects were held. As the school knows, the Science Club has a tine record of awards which we, this year, wish to augment. For our success, we owe much thanks to Mr. Boylan and Mr. Liberfarb, who have helped us with their stimulating advice. It is our sincei-e hoi)e that the years to follow will be as successful and as enjoy- able for all concerned as the one which is just coming to a close.

One of these visitors lifted his extraterrestrial eyebrows in amused con- tempt when he learned that his patrol fleet was regarded by official Government sources as merely mass hallucinations or, possibly, weather balloons. Despite the variety and intelligence of our extra-gal- actic visitors, the “Slans” of B.L.S. re- fused to be impressed by anything except their own extra-curricula prowess. At times, “addicts” of Bradbury, Van Vogt, and Sturgeon were a trifle less than po- lite toward the admirers of Heinlein, Asi- mov, and Verne. But even these antagon- istic groups were united in their suspi- cions of the sullen Lovecraftians who in- variably brooded, like caricatures of Chas. Adams, in the darker corners of the room. Unquestionably, it was the sympa- thy and understanding of our placid men- tor, Mr. McNamara, that enabled so many diversifled “addicts” to achieve the degree of amity and enthusiasm that marked these singularly commonplace meetings.

President Vice-President Secrctanj T rcasn re)‘ Howard Phillips Ian MacDonald Elliot Bird Stephen Faria Thi.s year the Social Science Club has made many great strides: meetings were presented concerning such topics as an- thropology, psychology, music, philologty the United Nations, and our main theme — race. With the assistance of the World Affairs Council and the Harvard UN Council, a foreign itolicy discussion group has been formed and has already made many world-shaking decisions. As a part of the S.S.CVs voter education drive, the students of fl.L.S. were given an oppor- tunity to express their preferences in a school-wide election poll, prior to the No- vember elections. The results of the poll, as computed by UNIVAC, predicted the contestant’s outcome with accuracy. In January, after months of planning, the S.S.C. called a meeting of the club jiresidents and steps were taken toward the formation of a federation of clubs. This organization will achieve a greater measure of school unity and mutual pro- gress, through cooperation — another S.S.C. fir.st. Mr. Avery and President Phillips have led the Social Science Club through its most active and successful year. [ 138 ] Stamp Club It .. . has been a constant accninnJation and classif i in . ( iff ice rs President Rohekt H. Golden Vice-President Norman A. Rice Secretanj-T reasnrer H. Leroy Vail Under the able guidance of Mr. Mc- Guffin, the club’s faculty advisor, the Stamp Club has enjoyed another very suc- cessful year. Auctions, talks, quizzes, and reports of new stamp issues were supple- mented by an extensive trading program afforded the members of the club at the end of each meeting. Talks were given at various times throughout the year by Robert Miller, John Hedges, Robert Golden, Joel El- yanow, and others, on timely philatelical topics. The membership was limited to thirty this year, for the first time, and this practice proved so beneficial to the club that it will probably be continued next year.

President ROBERT GOLDEN Vice-President WILLIAM Kanter Sccretanj-T ) ' casn rc)’ Leonard Kopelman In recognition of the significant part tourists and travelers play in affecting in- ternational understanding, the Travel Club was organized under the very ca- pable leadership of Mr. Desmond. The officers of the club, as well as those fortunate members who have visited ex- otic tourist meccas, from distant Brazil and Israel to California and Avenue Louis Pasteur, contributed interesting lectures based upon personal experiences, and often illustrated with colored slides and maps. Mr. Cheetham delighted the club by presenting some very interesting slides of Europe. Also featured during the course of the year were panel discussions and quiz ifrograms designed to stimulate interest in travel. We are esifecially grateful to our ad- viser, Mr. Desmond, whose able adminis- trative ability and discourses on Italy and Greece helped greatly to strengthen this first season. [ 140 ] Drill Team and Color Guard Our culture, therefore, must not omit the arming of the man. ( tfficers Color Guard Sergeant Ed Anthony Trick Drill Team Captain Dick Rubin Junior Drill Team Captain Al Uliss and Sergeant Jerry Jarisitis Drum Squad Captain Phillip Manfredi The Drill Team began a spectacular season with a well-executed Armistice Day Parade and appeared again soon after that at the English-Latin Thanks- giving Day game at Boston University Field. The team remained on an inactive sta- tus during the early winter months but developed a sparkling new routine under the untiring efforts of Major Kelley. In February, however, came the National Honor Society Review in which the team gave a superb performance. Under the able leadership of Captain Dick Rubin, the busy season began in the spring with South Boston’s St. Patrick’s Day Parade. The Arlington-Lexington Parade, B.L.S. Prize Drill Day, and Charlestown Parade followed in rapid suc- cession. The team walked off with honors in all of these.

Prize Drill A year’s effort and instruction were cul- minated on Prize Drill, Wednesday, April 10, 1957. Pleginning promittly at 8:35 A.M., twenty-two able captains put their companies through an intricate set of maneuvers, so arranged as to guide troops through the most rugged terrain. Under the beautiful blue sky, the future of Amer- ica paraded in review fearlessly before the scrutinizing eyes of the military judges. Competition was very close, and a difference of thirteen points separated the five winning companies in the First Regiment. Of the twenty-two companies, the fol- lowing captains were adjudged winners in the First Regiment: (1) Colonel Donald Dong, (2) Lt. Col. Edward Krovitz. (3) Major David Swepson. (4) Maj. John McCormack, and (5) i Iaj. Richard Ko- walski. In the Second Regiment, the winners were: (1) Col. Leo Cannon, (2) Lt. Col. Kurt Collins, (3) Maj. John McClellan, (1) Maj. Burton Peltz, and (5) i Iaj. Jo- seiffi McNamara. Captain Thomas Laird, whose company compiled the largest score in competition, was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General and will lead the Latin School contingent in the School Boy Parade. Eleven citations were awarded to those cadets judged most adept in the Individual Manual of Arms Competition. Awards were also presented to select members of the fland and Drum and Bugle C ' orps. [ 142 ] During the intermission in the day’s program, the Trick Drill Team, com- manded by Captain Richard Rubin, per- formed intricate marching and manual-of- arms routines. The Senior Band and Color Guard also entertained. For the Senior otiicers whose companies were victorious, this will long be a day of joy. The feeling of satisfaction experi- enced by those cadets and officers who see their perseverence and diligence rewarded can not be described. Major Edward Kelley deserves the heartiest thanks for his tireless efforts to formulate a well-balanced course of in- struction in Ijoth military science and drill. The Latin School Drill Team, one of Major Kelley’s i)et projects, deserves com- mendation for its representation of the school at competitions. [ 143 ] t Musical Organizations The Boston Latin School has always had a proud tradition of mu- sical excellence among the high schools of New Phigland. This year the school was especially busy with musical activity, training such diverse organizations as a brass choir, orchestra, a band, a drum and bugle corps, and a clarinet ensemble. Under the baton of Mr. Houlihan, the martial strains of the band echoed in the school, at Prize Drill, and at the Schoolboy Parade. Mr. Houlihan also directed the orchestra in many of the well-known classics, as well as many of the more contemporary works, at a number of school assemblies. The Brass Choir, under the jolly guidance of Mr. Young, played the old Yuletide carols at the traditional lunchroom serenades, and also in the Boston Commons and at the GU)l e newspaper office. Throughout the year, the aim of the music department has been to train boys to play the standard high school music repertoire and to ac- (ILiaint them with works of a more dithcult l)ut rewarding nature.

[ 140 ] DIES AD PRIMANOS PRAECIPUUS [ 147 ] Class Oration Today, it is with great honor that I speak before the members of the graduating Class of 1957 and fulfill the time-honored custom of read- ing the class oration. As 1 begin, I cannot help but mention that I am speaking in a hall decorated with the names of numerous illustrious graduates, in a school which has been blessed throughout the centuries with the responsibility of training many of our country’s greatest thinkers, writers, musicians, businessmen, and members of the ])rofessions. In this school — in this hall — I am addressing a graduating class which may produce leaders of our communities, which will help to make the world a better place to live in, and which may explore many new fields. Thus being confronted with the reminders of the i)ast, associating with representatives of the present, and thinking of the leaders of the future, we cannot help l)ut dwell upon each period of time, with particular emphasis on the relationship of our class to each. When we think of the past of this great school, we become increasingly aware that our great Alma Mater did not make itself famous, as it was only an institution. We realize that this school was great because of the diligent student body, its untiring faculty, its loyal alumni, and its glorious record of achievement. In other words, the renowned Boston Latin School l ecame what it was because of people. In the past, Latin School was fortunate. History will testify to that, but times were differ- ent from now. The atmosphere of Puritan Boston was conducive to studying. No family would think of allowing its children to neglect their studies. Strict parents raised children who had a proper appreciation of a free classical education. Later on, Yankee New Englanders realized the value of Latin School as a preparatory school for Harvard, then the ambition of every 1k).v. When the immigrants populated Boston, their children wished to go to Latin School, realizing the need to imi)rove their rank and social standing in America. They took advantage of the best offered in free education and they made good use of it. Each period in the history of f)ui ' school suiiplied the world with its share of distinguished citizens: such as, Hancock, Fi ' anklin, and Brooks: Emerson, Mather, and Langley: Bernstein, Fiedler, Santayana, and others. We can indeed be thankfui not only to these men of the i ast, but also to their masters, [ 148 } for without them, Latin School would not be the famous school it is today. The masters are the ones who have nurtured it from birth and have guided it to its present maturity. When we consider the present, however, we do not look around at others. Instead, it is necessary for us to look at ourselves. We, the graduating Class of 1957, are the ones who are writing another page in the history of this great school, the 818th page. What we have done, and are doing during our stay in this school will be recorded to the last detail in the annals of time. Most of it has been written. Space remains for no more than three or four weeks’ material. Then the page will be stamped and added to a long and glorious past. How will this page stand up against the other 317? We must answer that. Just as the former students of this school lived under certain conditions, we too live under certain rather unusual conditions. Our world is a materialistically minded one, progressive, and scientifically improved and endangered. Life is easy, perhaps too easy. Many are inclined to become lax and unwilling to study. The average person lacks the ambition so noticeable in the early inhabitants of this great land. These are the conditions we have been studying under for the past four or six years. Under such pressure, such indifference, we have fared exceedingly well. We certainly have not lacked ambition. Our scholastic standing has not suffered any for our modern age. I am sure that when future generations examine our rec- ords and the times we lived in, they will place our records of scholarship, service, and leadership with those of the other great classes. Let this outlook, however, not cause us “to rest on our laurels.” A great wide future lies ahead. What we obtain from it depends on us. Like a tree with ripe fruit, it stands laden with opportunities, waiting for someone to shake it, to shower on him success and reward. Will our class produce an Emerson? a Langley? a Franklin? a Santayana? a Dever? a Bishop Wright? or a Bernstein? Perhaps there are more mem- bers of our class who may possess talents such as theirs. What is going to make the difference is what our class will do with its God-given talents and ability in later life. So far we have had a difficult time in gaining the success which we have. Even more difficult will it be to gain success in later years. We have materials for success. Let us use them to their fullest accomplishments. Will our class become one of the most re- nowned in the history of this school? Will our class add to the names on the frieze of this hall? Or will our class fail? Each one of us must answer these questions for his own prodding conscience. The question affects the fate of the whole class. We need the support of every mem- ber here. Five, ten, twenty, or even one hundred cannot do the work of all. Each must do his part. Let no one get the wrong impression. We do not have to burn a trail across the sky to become successes. We merely have to do whatever we do to the best of our ability, and no matter what profession we are in we can earn the right to call ourselves successful. The past is already behind us ; the present will soon be part of the past; and all that remains is the future. No one can say whether it will be dark or bright. This is for us to decide. If we continue to strive hard in the future, then I am sure that the Class of 1957, with the help of God, shall climb to heights of fame. “Congratulations for a Past well done ; Here’s for the Future yet to come.” [ 149 ] Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1957 (Scene — a con)‘f) ' ooni of nineteenth een- tinoi England. One desk, representing a judicial bench, is in the center of the stage. Behind it are three chairs. (To the accompaniment of recorded ex- cerpts from the album, “War of 1812,’’ three judges in black robes and white wigs enter, and take their places behind the three chairs so that Murphy is on the left, Grover in the center, and Daley on the right. The music stops abruptly, and, after a brief pause, all three sit down. Grover turns over a piece of cardboard so that it is visible to the audience. On this is written The Hanging Judges. He now begins to read . . . ) drover — -We the class of 1957, being of unsound body as a result of too much calisthenics, and even worse mind, if possible, make this, our last will and testament, effective as soon as we leave these hallowed halls.

When Dean Dunn ’phoned me in New York and asked me to speak here today, I readily accepted his invitation because, frankly, I was Hattered to be asked to par- ticipate in your Cla.ss Day Program. The Class of 1957 has been a great tribute to Latin School. You have proved that scho- lastic and athletic ability can go hand in hand. Your football team was the city winner last fall; three of your outstanding- athletes were members of the National Honor Society; and your C’lass had 12 ti- nalists in the National Merit Examination. Latin School can really be proud of each of you. There are two specific traits of char- acter which I think are extremely imimr- tant — jjerHcvoviice and hinniUttf. Web- ster defines ijerscvcraiice as “continuing in a given course, esijecially in the face of discouragement and obstacles.” Now, all of you have demonstrated your persever- ance; otherwise you would not be soon graduating from Latin School. There must have been plenty of times when you re- ceived a 55 or even a 50 on your monthly report card, times when you felt like say- ing “I wish the old man would let me transfer to some other, easier school.” P ut, for some reason or other, you stuck it out; and now you are being rewarded today. Now. when some of you get to college, the sudden freedom from the strict dis- cipline of the Latin School (I don’t know of a college in the country that gives mis- demeanor marks) and the lack of parental authority and supervision, may tempt you a little bit to slow down and take things a little easy. Many of us from Latin School unconsciously develop a superior attitude and think that just because we have grad- uated from Latin School we are prac- [ ir.4] tically fjuaranteed passing grades in col- lege. The first semester, or even the first year, in college may be nothing more than a review of some of the objects you had at Latin School. Now, since you were so much better pret)ared than many of the freshmen in most colleges, you might be inclined to coast along. However, at the end of the first year or beginning of the second year you might suddenly realize that some of your classmates from other schools have caught ip) with or even passed you by in knowledge. Now that you have developed the character trait of perseverance, don’t throw it to the winds. It is a strange thing, but in the business world, when it’s time to hand out increases in salary or promotions, the guy who is always trying to cut corners, for some reason or other, is always left be- hind. And he is usually the one who is left behind or overlooked when promo- tions come along and who tries to ration- alize his misfortune: he did not get the breaks, the boss doesn’t like him, or some other flimsy excuse. He usually is the in- dividual who exemplifies “the world owes me a living’’ attitude. He is the man who wants someone, whether it be the govern- ment or a corporation, or an educational system, to guarantee him a living and se- curity throughout his entire life. Now, no one has guaranteed you a passing mark here at Latin School just because you put in the time. By the same token, no one is going to guarantee you a living and security throughout your entire life. The second character trait which I think is so important is humility. Again, going back to Mr. Webster: “hinmlifij is a state or quality of being humble in spirit; freedom from pride and arro- gance.’’ You know, actually all of us here today ai’e vei v fortunate. V ' en have en- joyed the benefits of a Latin School train- ing, because you wei ' e born to parents who wanted to give you every possible ad- vantage; and, alx)ve all, you were en- dowed with the mental ecpiipment to avail yourselves of this ti’ainitig. Now, per- haps you think that this quality is not found in the heads of our leading corpora- tions or even in the President of the LTiited States. Last November, when I was in Washington on l)usiness, I was in- vited to attend the first ])ress conference which President Eisenhower held right after his reelection. Because of the impor- tance of this conference, there were re- porters present from every leading coun- try in the world, plus all of our syndicated news agencies such as Associated Press, United Press, Reuters agency, etc. One reporter got up and criticized Mr. Eisen- hower for not taking personal leadershi]) in dealing with Congress. Mr. Eisenhower replied that he was no desk-pounder. To quote him exactly, he said: “I am not one of the desk-pounding type that likes to stick out his jaw and look like he is bossing the show. “1 would far rather get behind, and recognizing the frailties and require- ments of human nature, I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.’’ Now, here is a wonderful example of true humility, because this man who holds the toj) position in the United States, who has been trained as a professional soldier, and who could possibly take advantage of his position and background by trying to im])ress his will upon others, realizes how [ 155 ] ineffective that approach to life is in deal- ing with other human beings. Always try to demonstrate this particular quality. You have often heard the old bromide : “There but for the grace of God go I.” If you will only remember that, perhaps you will realize that any of the wonderful as- sets that you have are really not of your own making but come from a Supreme Being who has given you these gifts. Within a couple of months now you will be leaving Latin School, but I can truth- fully say that you will never forget it. One of the proudest things of my life is that I can say I graduated from Boston Latin School. You men don’t realize it, but our School is known and respected all over the country. I have traveled in many states throughout America and I have yet to find some educated person who doesn’t know about our school. I have lived in Philadelphia, Chicago and New York; and most people know of Latin School and even think it is a private school. They have all heard about it — its fame is na- tion-wide. One thing I can predict is that you will never forget Latin School, be- cause you will not find any better or truer friends than the ones you have found here. Why it is so I cannot say. Maybe it is because we had to resort to what Winston Churchill called “blood, sweat and tears’’ to get through the school, but it certainly builds a permanent comrade- ship. I know you are eager to get on with the rest of your fine Class Day program, so let’s just sum up what we have said: Don’t forget your Latin School training and, above all, please try to develop fur- ther those two important character traits : perseverance and hinnilit) . Although I said earlier that no one can guarantee you anything, I can guarantee that even if you don’t make a million dollars, at least you will lead a full, happy, and contented life. The End t 15(! 3 Class Prophecy TRUTH OR SIBERIA A One Act Dirge Starring Frederick Garbovitcii, THE Informer planed hij Herbert Paul Ginshnrn Prosecutor, plaped by Mark Jay Mirsky Inquisitors, played by Philip Pickard Goodman, John Joseph King, Kenneth Robert Burns Scene: A television studio in the Na- tional Sibodan Broadcasting Building. The investigating committee of the Soviet Pra esidium, consisting of three members, is sitting around a table. As the curtain opens, the prosecutor comes forward a)id addresses the audience. Prosecutor: Dear Comrades, once again the Grand Investigating Committee of the Praesidium meets for the 64,000 Rubl e Purge. Last week as you all know, our in- former Frederick Garbovitch, reached the second steppe by purging the grand total of 32,000 people. Tonight, Mr. Garbe- vitch tries for the top purge — the 64,000 ruble purge. You all know the rules, a ruble a purge, and Comrade Garbovitch has chosen for his category, tonight, the alumni of the Boston Latin School, Class of 1957. Guards, lead Comrade Garbovitch into che torture — whoops — I mean isolation booth. [Guards, bring in Garbovitch, and place him in the isolation cell.] MJM: And now, Frederick Garbovitch, whom have you chosen for your first purg- ing? Garb: For my first purging I have chosen Richard Albert. MJM: Richard Albert? And what atrocity has he committed against our be- loved state? [ 157 ] Garb: Comrade Prosecutor, 1 found that Richard Albert, sometimes lecturer at M.I.T. (the iMoscow Institute of Tech- nolot -y) conceals revolutionary papers in his o-reen school-ba ' , between the pages of a book entitled “How to Prepare for iMongolian Entrance Examinations.” I also discovered in his school-bag — study- ing his notes — Fishman, I)i Mattia, S. Canter, and Piemonte. M.fM: Fascist Dog! Continue, I-H’ed- erick Carbovitch, who else? (t(u-I : Comrades ! I. Sullivan and D. Cohen have been making derisive and sub- versive criticisms of the standard party text of self-pronunciations written by our glorious benefactor. Dr. IMcCarthy, en- titled : “How to Pronounce your P’s and Q’s” or “The Student’s Enumerations of Stujiid Vocabulary Errata.” .M.fM: Wait! While I check off those names, Fredvitch. Yes, go on ! Garb: ( ' )h, yes! Diamond Jim P.oyle, author of the best seller, “Emily Post P)i’ought up to Date,” has won Henry’s sister as his lawfully-wedded wif e. Dave Swepson. whom you might remember as ex-recreational instructor at the U. of !M. (University of Moskow ) “gaily” served as best man. This, of course, was strictly op- posed to the Party’s desire to have her marry the caviar manufacturing tycoon, Stephan Garber. Goodman: Excellent, Fredvitch. You are to be commended. Now we would like you to verify the following: Is it true that John King, our roving ambassador to Syria, has become the first Irish Mayor of Tel Aviv on the Zionist ticket? Reports say he was assisted Ijy a powerful AZA executive committee spearheaded by Dow, JIcLaughlin, Hoskins, Mahady, and Mc- Cook His chief i)arty platform was the promise of forming a mutual Non-Aggres- sion pact with the I.R.A.’s Commander Moshe Shubow. Garb: Yes, it is all true. But here I remember something about Abe Finkel- stein. M.JM: What is it, Fredvitch? You mean the Abe Finkelstein who owns La Raff ' ani Chicken Fat Factory? Ga)b: Yes. 1 remember. Ral bi Kanter has accused him of hiring banditti Gil- arde, Garufo, Galiotta, C ' osta, and Gerome to put ham in the chicken fat vats. M.fM: More! Gar! : Harmatz, a tramp who plays an organ grinder in our beloved city, has been playing Tom Lehrer’s songs on his organ grinder in our Park of Peace and Culture. Also that monkey he has with him is not a monkey; it’s George, in disguise. Good man : A news flash has just come in ! We must interrupt this program. At- tention ! Roy Jakeman has just swum the Suez Canal. He accomplished this feat carrying Robert Golden piggyback, who insisted on declaiming the Constantinople Treaty of 1888 at Egyptian Premier Bar- gad. Bargad, however, continued to shell the duo during the i)roceedings. Several pictures were taken of Bargad on the tur- rets. which have been wirephotoed to Mos- cow Lenin School in time for the year- book. This now brings the total of pic- tures he has in the Yearbook to 68. As for Jakeman, he has stopped for re-fueling at Nicosia and was last seen in Happy Jack O’Halloran’s Bagel-I )rive-In-By-The-Sea. Golden swam the rest of the trip to Blar- ney by himself. M.JM : Now for a word from our — (farb: But don’t vou want to hear about Nolan? J .Gl • Nolan? Quick, get IMax. Where’s Nolan, Fredvitch? (farb- Well, Nolan spurned the watch- ful motherly care of his patron. Dr. Mc- Carthy. owner of Moscow’s first double breasted suit factory. Bernard absconded to New ' York City. U.S.A., with College Achievement booklets. After a successful week on Steve Allen’s show, he worked his way down to Florida, where he had been promised acceiffance to the University of Jliami by its President IMarram. M.JM: Marram, oh yes, here he is. Go on Garbovitch. Garl)- R. M. Formichella, ex-party con- sul to Italy, is leading a revolution against Italy’s Fat Fascist dictator Roberto Fran- cisci Hogan. Formichella is incorporating saturation bombing on Rome, which effect is being resisted by a thin line of R.A.F. pilots including Karas, Contompasis, Kar- imbakis. and Lord Harry London. Yes. and John Daley, our madcap agent in Paris, stumbled across a missing vol- ume of extra-credit que.stions put out by the Idelson Coop. He was assisted in this effort by the F’rench Communist Party’s suave ambassador of goodwill — “Arty” Wilner. Wilner had brought the book from [ 158 ] E. Drachman, a white collar worker for the I.K.A. who was using it to cram for a hh ' ench Civil Service exam while weeping over a bowl of Ilootnick’s Canned Hominy Grits skillfully prepared in “our clean ’ankee kitchens’’ by chef Robert Lee Ran- dolph. Goodman: Newsflash: Rejoice, Com- rades. Field Marshals Corvi and Crosson have succeeded in stamping out the revolt in Hungary today. They smashed through the Hartwig line, scattering Marshal Kro- vitz’s tattered rebels. At the first sign of resistance, the NKVI) civilian staff of Kozodoy, Doyle, Levine, Hopkinson, Mur- phy, and Miller sought refuge in the Iful- garian State Teachers College. Garb: Don’t forget Kriensky and San- tarpio ! M.JM : What have they done? Garb: Kriensky and Santarpio, the Odessa fressers, were arrested for selling Kashi mit Borscht to the Cypriot Revo- lutionary Army Staff consisting of Gen- erals Yalmokas, Tsucalas, Moskos, and Capt. Dreyfus. M.JM: Tell me, what’s this we’ve been hearing about “Blossoms’’ Bloom? Garb: Yes, “fflossoms’’ Bloom, owner and star of the Bolshi Ballet Follies, is starring in Slifka’s “Das Inferno’’ or “De- scent into the Lunchroom’’ for which he has paid enormous sums to obtain Zitcha Silverman, prima donna of “Gaite Paris- ienne.’’ Also billed, as lunchroom marsh- als are Doyle, Levine, Clark, Hopkinson, Sullivan, Sullivan, Sullivan, Murphy, Mil- ler, and Tallas. This play has been banned from Russia as a result of its expose as Pro-British by C. Amirsakis, Nobel Prize winner in physics, and author of “Lost Weekend,’’ or “Why I Don’t Hand in My Physics Home Lesson on Monday.” As for the play, others involved are Rubin, who wrote it, and Romberg, who edited it (he is also president of the Chess Club). The play was brought to a smashing crescendo by Field Marshal Valentino Sheinblatt, who dedicated his orchestration to his mother. However, he lost his false ivory teeth and was unable to continue. He was replaced by Manfredi on the Elia. During the intermission, Richard Wulf, soloist of the Sammy Shay Chorale, sang the Vulga Boat Song, accompanied by Ganick, who yodeled. The final act saw Comrades Mir- sky and Burns, singing in the chapel, “I Believe.” M.fM: How have the labor conditions been proceeding? FG’. ' Labor conditions have been bad. Simon has been leading strikebreakers in the teachers’ strike, headed by Mr. Liber- farb, in Manchestortz. The teamster boss, Dave Samuels, has been found guilty of eml)ezzling money for Boylesky Downs. Flash: Ivan V ' on Liberfarb and the bet- ter boys have just landed on the Magnetic Pole and found it to be 300 degrees off. hbdend Scolnick was unable to go on the history-making expedition, since he re- cently jumped off the Wheatstone FIridge. Having done all the Miller’s Problems, he had nothing to live for. General Miller has expelled the Trotskyites of 335 headed by Slavet, Levine, B iederman, Theodore, Uliss, Feinstein, and Davison. Last night at Moscow Square Garden, Gruesome George lost in a close match with Krusher Krasnoo. Rumors have it that George has turned to politics and will run for office. Lucky Levitan’s ix)ol emporium was just raided by the NKVD policemen. Con- cealed in the tables were the copies of next year’s Latin ttoards. Also confiscated were 5000 counterfeited lunchroom passes signed RS, and 25 misplaced report cards. Goody Goodman’s tea and Vodka shop on the corner of Gorki Street has been con- demned for selling hollow scones and crumpets, and bootleg borscht (20 proof) under the name of Goodman’s 20 Mule Team Borsttarko. Gamer and Wine, editors of “Ivan Al- ready Knows” recently discovered why Faber wears sneakers — his feet have the same coefficient of expansion as the rub- ber. John Kaplan, the human bookeater, just finished his latest novel, “Executive Suite,” or “Why I Resigned.” Yentile, the greasy terror of the Tartar Steppes, has just invaded Bilo-Russia with his army of lower Slob-Bonines, Donovan, Miller, and Peltz. M.JM: I’m sorry, Frederick Garbovitch, but your time is up. You have failed to ))Lirge your quota in the allotted time. Take him away, comrades! And now, comrades, we shall close with a persping sermon by the Reverend Pauley Haven. “Good night, Bless you, and See You in Siljeria! ! !” [ 159 ] Autographs THE WARREN PRESS, INC.
