Getchell PW' , NE day the latter part of June, 1906, I was invited . - by Dr. Wallace C. Keith and Mr. Whitcomb, the newly elected Head Master of the Brock- ton High School,vto come to Brock- ton and meet the members of the School Board and the Superintend- ent. At that time the committee and the Superintendent occupied the rooms in the present building now known as the Continuation School office and rooms 10 and 11A. The first member to greet me was Mr. Walter Rapp In -td- dition to Dr. Keith and Mr. Rapp the members of the committee Were Dr. A. V. Lyon, Mr. Eldon B. Keith, Mrs. Martha J. Farwell, Mr. Frank E. Shaw, Judge Loyed E. Chamberlain, Rev. Robert L. Rae and Mr. Frank E. Packard, with Mayor John S. Kent, Chair- man ex-officio and Superintendent B. B. Russell, Secretary. It was rather a formidable group to a newcomer, but their geniality quickly dispelled all doubts, and in a short time I was informed that in addition to serving as Master and head of the History Depart- ment I was to look after the Ath- letics. Within a few days I became a resident of the city for, as I sup- posed, two years at the most, but fate decreed otherwise, and here I am attempting to give in a lim- ited space impressions of twenty years of service to the city. I did not meet Mr. Parker at this time, but was told that as Principal Emeritus he had decided to teach United States History. This brought us closer together and thus we Worked as co-laborers for a little over eight years. In this way I came to know Mr. Par- ker and his wonderful spirit of service. It thus became my privi- lege to assist him through those diflicult days preceding his final re- tirement and at his death witness the honors given to him who was a friend to all. The two teachers whose names are linked with Mr. Parker's are Miss Pettee and Miss Poore. I never knew Miss Pettee but Miss Poore worked with me until re- tirement. She was a conscientious and loyal worker to the last. I shall never forget the day when Miss Poore came into the office to receive at the hands of former pupils-men of affairs in the city -honors in words and goods of this world. It was like a benedic- tion to those present. Brockton has had four Superin- tendents of Schools, Mr. B. B. Russell, Mr. Don C. Bliss. Mr. George L. Farley, and Mr. John F. Scully. It has been my privilege 8 BROCKTONIA to be associated with all these men. Each has been tireless in his efforts to improve the schools and each has brought new ideas. The result is an educational sys- tem of unusual efficiency. It is difficult to estimate the personal influence of such men, but it is certain that each has built him- self a place in the history of the city. The growth of the High School has been phenomenal. It began with the first full year in the pres- ent building and has continued to the present time with the excep- tion of two or three years during the World War. This growth necessitated an additional wing in 1911 and in 1915 Mayor Burbank appointed a committee of fifteen to make recommendations for an- other addition. The report was favorable and the West Elm Street part was occupied January 7, 1917. It looked so large that it was called by some the White Ele- phant. For several years parts of the Whitman and Lincoln Schools were accommodated in the new building but during that entire time the High School was limited in its work. This year for the first time the High School has the entire building but now the enrollment exceeds the seating capacity of the building by at least four hundred and we are still crowded for room. The elective blanks for next year number near- ly twenty-eight hundred. The increase in the teaching force has naturally kept pace with the increase in the number of pupils. In the graduation program for the Class of 1907 there were thirty-two listed including the teachers of Music and Military Drill. Of the thirty-two, six are still teaching,-Dr. MacGregory, Mr. Bailey, Miss Beal, Miss Burke, Miss Cooke and Miss Hodge. Miss Brewer has been the Secretary since 1900. These teachers with Dr. Chase, who retired last year, have given exceptional service to the school and the community. This year the working force num- bers one hundred and four. One hundred were graduated in the Class of 1907. In 1924 I signed diplomas for two hundred and ten. Including the class of this year over thirty-six hundred will have received diplomas during these twelve years. This is a remark- able showing for the holding power of the school. These grad- uates did the required work of the school, and because of this, are now workers and leaders in their respective communities. There have been many innova- tions and much progress in all lines from methods in the class room to outside activities. I par- ticularly recall the evening ses- sions, the receptions to parents, the exhibitions, the salute to the flag, the increase in scholarships, the Gilmore Prize Speaking Con- test and the formation of the band. Three events stand out more prominently than others-The celebration of the Fiftieth Anni- versary of the School, The Brock- ton Centennial, and the gift of the Eldon Keith Field. No sooner had I taken over the responsibilities of leadership than active prepara- tions were begun for the proper recognition of the Fiftieth An11i- versary, All through the Spring and Summer, committees were busy making the necessary ar- rangements and September 16, 1914, found them ready for the two days of celebration. The whole program was notable and may be found in the files of the local papers. The Brockton Centennial dur- ing the week of June 12-18, 1921, once more gave the High School a prominent place. The history of the city and the proceedings of the Centennial work may be found in the book published by the com- BROCKTONIA 9 mittee on the celebration, The Brockton Centennial. It is impossible for the people of Brockton and the High School in particular to fully express its appreciation to the family of the late George E. Keith for the gift of the Eldon Keith Field. It is a most unusual center for the out- door life of the school. We cannot forget the struggles of the earlier years when we had neither grounds nor suitable equipment for our Athletics and were nearly always in debt for what we did have. On Thanksgiving Day each year the Alumni would loyally come to our assistance, borrow from us or from the college the necessary equipment and play with the school team before crowded bleachers. The proceeds would generally pay the bills of the preceding year and start us on the next season. In this way we kept going and tried to im- prove from year to year the ex- istent conditions. The opening of the Gymnasium in the new wing in 1911 and the employment of Mr. Roberts in 1913 gave us an added impetus. Slowly, but sure- ly the boys improved in health and strength until the opening of the new Gymnasium in 1917 and the Eldon Keith Field in 1921 found them ready to take advantage of these new opportunities. Never again should the school be found wanting in Physical Training and Athletics. In conclusion, the support of parents, teachers and pupils through these years has been fine. I believe in Brockton and its schools. AVE ET VALE G e t c h el l was born June 11, 1865, at Baring, Maine, and 'twas there that he received his grammar school education which he supplemented by a three year course at the Calais High School. From here he entered the Coburn Clas- sical Institute at Waterville, Maine, to prepare for Colby Col- lege. The year 1893 saw him a graduate of the latter school with his degree of A. B., and in 1896 he received the degree of A. M. He experienced his first practi- cal training as a teacher in the un- graded schools of Maine. Soon after he had received his college diploma and degree, he was inducted as principal of the High School at Plymouth, New Hampshire. At the end of two years he m.oved to Somerville, Massachusetts and became mas- ter of the English High School there. Next he assumed the lead- ership of the High School at Hyde Park, Massachusetts where he re- mained for seven years, during which time, through his efforts, the erection of the high school building in use there today took place. Mr. Getchell then came to Brockton, September, 1906, as master of our B. H. S. under Head- master C. T. C. Whitcomb. From this point the principal accomplishments of his life, to date, may be noted in his Remin- iscencesf' The fine reputation of the shoe city lads for good sportsmanship and the scholastic standing at- tained by our High School has reached even to many of the dis- tant corners of our nation, and we all know that this has been great- ly, not to say chiefly, due to the untiring efforts of our outgoing chief. Both the State and the National Educational Associations claim him as a member. He's a York and Scottish Rite Mason and still belongs to the I. O. O. F. of Calais, Maine. Mr. Getchell is just sixty-one 10 BROCKTONIA fwhich seems really hard to be- lievej and his request to be re- tired under the pension act, from the duties of chief executive of Brockton High after thirty-five years as a teacher counting the twenty years of service in our School is due to the fact that he wants to stop while he is doing one hundred percent. work. Not a day has he lost because of illness, since 1896. Way up in Compton, New Hampshire there is a cozy little country home Where Mr. and Mrs. Getchell plan to go after leaving Brockton. A few words of Mr. John F. Scully, Superintendent of Schools, seem most appropriate: I feel that the loss to the school department is a tre- mendous one. Mr. Getchell is one of the best organizers and administrators of a High School that I have ever known. His school is one of the smoothest running ma- chines imaginable. Added to this is the possession of a kind heart and a disposition to give every student every opportunity to make the most of himself. Though a strict disciplinarian, he always tem- pers justice with mercy. Put yourself in his place. Esti- mate the planning and supervising that must be done in connection with the curricula of two thousand odd students. Think of the task of supervising and advising in the many branches of the school's pro- gramme. And then bear in mind the small recompense received, and. try to consider all the blame and fault finding that go along with the honor of so high an oflice. The great question that now arises is Who will or who can re- place him ? We sincerely wish the School Board success in choosing from the number of applicants, a head- master who will be worthy and capable of shouldering the respon- sibility that Mr. Getchell will soon lay aside. We hope they will find a man who will carry on with a faithfulness as reliable, with a sincerity as pure, and with an ability as great as that of our re- spected chief who is about to bid us adieu. S. A. D. LOOKING The Brockton High School has one of the finest list of scholarships of any like institution of learning in the country, and through them nearly a score of pupils are as- sisted in their first year, at least, at some college or university. There is also a growing tend- ency toward loan associations, whereby worthy and needy pupils may borrow money at a fair and low rate of interest, payable two, three or more years after gradu- ation, interest being kept up in the mean time. Colleges have this plan in most every part of the country and re- quire the signature of parent, AHEAD guardian, or some other trust- worthy person. At least one college catalog has the statement: It is very seldom that a student has to leave this college, going out backwards, after the first year. If he shows him- self a man, there is a way of keep- ing him on the roster. What a fine thing a Brockton fund would be. A trust fund right here where the ambitious pupil could apply with the possibility of getting the necessary start. Sum- mer work and something outside at college could care for the in- terest and possibly some of the principal. BROCKTONIA 11 HOPES We have all had hopes, big hopes, little hopes, and middle- sized hopes. Some of us may have hoped to be Jack Dempsey or Helen Wills but we all, at least, have hoped to graduate from High School. This last hope is about to be realized by most of the senior class on June 18th. During our first year We had hopes that perhaps some day we Would be able to do things as the second year class did them. As we outgrew our infancy we looked to the Juniors to see whether we should part our hair in the middle or not at all. Now, as we stop to think of it, as Juniors we knew about all there was to know. We are now completing our last year in dear old B. H. S., hoping that we have done our duty as the real leaders in scholarship, ath- letics, activities and school spirit! Now I arrive at the point in this wandering where a different kind of hope is apropos. Seniors, I hope with all my heart that each and every one of you makes a big success of whatever you try to do in the years to come. You have been a fine group of stu- dents as a class and as individuals. I thank you for your support of our activities and officers. If we have shown the Juniors how to do what is expected of them, as well as last year's class showed us, we may feel satisfied that we have born a success as the leaders of Brockton High. I canno: close this editorial without saying in a few sincere words just how much We regret that the classes which will come after us will not have the guid- ance and advice which Mr. Getch- ell is able to give. He vs all bid him a sincere good-bye and clasp his hand in a friendly shake that will show M bow high in our esteem he stands. Robert E. Keene, '26. ONWARD TO SUCCESS W UNIORS' Seniors to be! Our time is here for ac- f s' tion! Having passed an- other successful year, we are now ready to take up the task of lead- ership in all activities. Not only must we assume this responsibili- ty but also, we must set an exam- ple for the lower classmen to fol- low. Let us prove that we are more than capable of these duties that confront us by performing them all to the utmost of our ability. With our motto, Onward to Success, in mind, may we strive to equal and surpass the wonder- ful example set for us by those leaving, and in this way putting to use the talents which we all possess. To our worthy Senior friends, departing from our midst, let us bid farewell, and shaking their hands wish them all a very suc- cessful career. They have stood the test and are worthy of all the praise that is given them. May they long be remembered! Robert Tonis, '27. THANKS The staff of Broclctonia is tak- ing this chance to thank the school as a whole for the fine spirit of co- operation shown by all. This is our final and, we hope, our best effort. We have worked especially hard in preparation for this issue, which we have endeavored to make, as far as possible, take the place of a year-book. As a result you have in your hands the largest Brockfon '11, ever published. And now, Class of Twenty- seven, we hope that next year, when it comes your turn to say good-bye, you, too, will be thank- ing the school as a Whole for their part in the publication of the best number in the history of the school.

SCRlBNER Class Poet The light was fading in the west, And I, with youth and joy possessed, I mourned to see it go, It seemed symbolic of the years, Coming and bringing with them tears For youthful joys-but lo! What vision burst upon my sight, Dispelling darkling shades of night! The vision neither spoke nor stirredg A moment so, and then a Word, A single gesture- Come! It took my hand and Went with me Through sky and over earth and sea. My sense was nearly numb, Until at last We reached our goal, An humble cottage on a knoll. 1? QVSQDQTSQQQDQQQJQQDQYI B R o C K T o N 1 A 23 'T5fDfSf-i52fEfN-4fi5JfEf1'sJDfSt-'sZDfEt!DfSW'1 Within that cottage lay a child With burning fever, crying wild. 'Twas sad to see him so. O'er him his mother bent in love, And even Seraphim above To care for them bent low. I saw her soul. It was divine For loving service made it shine. The vision took me next afield To where I saw staunch heroes yield Their lives in broiling war, And every man who gave his all, Who fought for country but to fall, Fulfilled the higher law. His soul was weighed, and pushed the scales Far down, for service never fails. I saw a surgeon who could live To others his whole life to give To strengthen those in pain. As loving service brings reward To the soul who gives itself to God Without a thought of gain, That surgeon's soul shone iine and white, Shedding divine and radiant light. The vision brought me back once more, It dropped me on familiar shore, And spoke, in voice so kind: Remember what you've seen tonight. Your soul, as well, can be as bright As those, if you so mind. Your life is just begun today, Let love and service lead the way This much it spoke and quickly vanished. The heavy darkness, with it banished, Gave way to rosy dawn. I was alone, and o'er the earth I saw the vanguard, heard the mirth Of joyous coming Morn. The dawn of life before me lay, Breaking into glorious day.

AQYSJDQVQDQQQJQQQJQQJSN 26 BROCKTONIA 0112155 Gbratinn WILLIAM MADDEN Class Orator CAREERS BEAUTIFUL A picture is being painted. First, there appears the rough background on the square of can- vas. More delicate lines grow from these and gradually evolve into some definite figure of landscape. Then, as the final and finishing touches are applied, the produc- tion assumes a depth and meaning that captivates its spectators and leads them to exclaim it a master- piece, a picture that will live. And so, it seems to me, We can develop our lives that they will stand out from the ordinary, be pre-eminent for having been lived fully. In development, our lives are quite similar to pictures. To each of us there is given the same square of canvas, the same sets of coloring, in some cases a little brighter than others, perhaps, but the same fun- damental huesg and a brush. It is left to us to decorate, as we Will, that square of canvas that men call Life. As education forms the basis, the background, the permanent structure upon which is built all lasting success, let us not under- estimate the value of practical learning. As it would be impos- sible to put the finishing touches on a picture before the broad, heavy background was completed, any attempts to bring out delicate shades of feature where there was no face, or touches of nature where there was no landscape, would look ridiculous, they would lack stability and, though executed by the hand of genius, would at- tract no more attention than the daubing of a child. In like manner, must We look upon education. Castles cannot be built upon air. A more substantial foundation must be found if the structure BROCKTONIA 27 would be lasting. We are all prone to think that life is short and edu- cation is long, that the four, five, or even six years that we spend in an institution of higher learning could be much more advan- tageously utilized in starting to lay the foundations of a career for ourselves. We cannot, in the face of evidence, deny that education is an invaluable asset, but we some- times reason that, though it is good for the other fellow, it would not be a great deal of help to us, so we plunge out blindly without the help of that necessary guiding knowledge. The fallacy of such reasoning is, I believe, apparent to every thoughtful observer. I do not recommend college, merely that we may, in the popular phraseology, become collegiate, but that we may acquire a power to grasp and overcome the ob- stacles that confront us. Such a tool is invaluable in the hands of an intelligent person and with it he can soon erase the start which another person may have gained in his extra years. The world to- day is not willing to train its lead- ers as of yore. The day is past when a lawyer can obtain his legal education in a law office, via the Horatio Alger method, acting in the capacity of an office boy. A doctor has to be a graduate of an accredited medical school to ob- tain the right to practice, and even the humble bricklayer finds it dif- ficult to learn the lucrative art, since bricklayers have been receiv- ing bank presidents' salaries. It is said of one of the old mas- ters that, when pupils came to him to learn to paint, he made them spend two whole years learning how to mix paints. Two long years learning how to blend tints and cre- ate every slight variation of color. Foolish? To us it seems a waste of time, but, when those pupils did reach the end of this drudgery. they had mastered every detail of their art and produced master- pieces that are the marvels of the art world, even today, hundreds of years after their time. Even though one does become success- ful in the eyes of the world, if he is one of the unusual few, who by their own stamina are able to reach the high places without the aid of learning, he feels keenly that lack of poise and assurance that a liberal education would have given him. I was recently talking with a man who typifies the self-made type, one who, solely by his own brilliance of intellect and perseverance, has won for himself a noteworthy place in a large financial concern. He con- fessed that, despite his position and the influence that it brought him, he often felt a lack of that polish and bearing that an educa- tion would have given him. If a man in his position feels this lack so keenly, do not we, who have yet to win the position, need all the tools that will help us in ac- quiring it? There is another form of edu- cation that should be used by those who go to college and those who do not, namely, self-educa- tion. For the person who succeeds, education never stops, for when we stop learning, we stop living. In any line of endeavor which we may choose there is an abundance of knowledge to be gained. Let us never be under the delusion that we are spending too much time in the pursuit of useful knowledge, but keep in mind the words of the sage: Learn as if to live forever, live as if to die tomorrow. Although I have talked thus far on education, I do not mean to have it thought that I would class it as an only requisite for success. Indeed, there is one which is far more important and without which education would accomplish but little,-a love of industry, or in plain, unpoetical language, hard work. Trying to be successful I Continued on page 105 28 BROCKTONIA Mann Haag -1 IDA MORRISON Class Essayist OURSELVES A fine sense of modesty, inher- ent in everyone of us, forbids me from saying, that I have decided to speak on the most interesting subject imaginable, - ourselves. Most of us are now in such jubi- lant moods, that We feel capable of conquering the entire universe. But before undertaking such a monstrous task, would it not be Wiser first, to make certain that we have conquered ourselves? A general, before attempting to attack his enemy, makes a plan of the battlefield, and tries to dis- cover the weak spots in the lines of his opponent, in order to make lzis victory certain. So must We, in order to be equipped for more difficult undertakings, discover the flaws in our characters, attack and overcome them. How often are We Willing to criticise others, yet, how seldom do we Wonder whether or not those very traits which we so abhor, may easily be attributed to us. Self-analysis may be prescribed as the best remedy for helping people Who begin to realize that others are succeeding while they are being left behind. Yet, like all bitter, but efective medicines, it is left on the rear of the shelf, with the belief, that with the help of the Almighty, the sickness will be cured. We are not brave enough to look ourselves in the BROCKTONIA 29 faceg frankly, to admit our faults, to confess that the cause of our failure was not due to lack of nat- ural ability, but lack of developing properly, those that we possess. The man who is blessed with perfect health, who is confident of the control of every muscle in his body who is seldom interrupted in his work by dangerous dis- eases, can never realize the suffer- ings of the unfortunate one who hobbles along on crutches, com- pelled to earn a few dollars for the upkeep of his family, instead of being under the needed care of some physician. The man who can clearly see the blossoming of the flowers, the changeable heav- ens, the glorious sunrises, who can behold the world in all its splen- dor every season of the year, can never know the agonies in hearts of the blind, who see nothing but continued darkness. He can sym- pathize with them, help with a few worthless dollars, but it is not pity that they want, it is true fellowship, and kind understand- ing. A man who has practically no will power, who is unable to obtain that which he is seeking in a righteous and honest way, needs an unselfish friend to help him, to make him realize his possibili- ties and see that he makes the best of them. Everyone needs a true companion, someone who will not desert him when he has made a mistake, someone who under- stands him and is willing to sac- rifice his own pleasures for the other's sakeg but first of all,-a man must be a friend to himself. In the words of St. Bernard, Nothing can work me damage, except myself, the harm that I sustain, I carry about with me, and never am I a real sufferer, but by my own faults. We all have our faults, and always will haveg but the difference between people who make good and those who don't, is that one labors to better himself, while the other lives in a carefree manner, little realizing that he even has any flaws. Alto- gether too many of us are strangers to ourselvesg We don't know wherein our trouble lies, and worst still, we don't care. We've often heard the expression, Oh! If I only wanted to, I could do just as well. In many canes, this is perfectly true. No one can know our latent talents as well as we, yet very few of us have enough self-confidence to develop them. Why not consider self-analysis, both an interesting and educa- tional game? One that helps us discover exactly what character- istics and abilities we possess. In understanding ourselves, we must know what work we are best fitted for. What career will supply the most pleasure and a better chance to develop ourselves above the average person. It is said the wind never blows fair for him, who knows not to what port he is bound. Are we to be tossed about from one occupation to another, losing valuable years, never reach- ing our aim? We should pursue the work that most interests us, that will make our lives delightful, and beneficial not only to ourselves, but also to others. The choice of a career, which is so vital to us. depends largely upon understanding our- selves. There is nothing that can help us more in this selection than a fair, unselfish, broad-minded opinion of what we are, and what we can be. Let us then, become thoroughly acquainted with our- selves, our talents and our possi- bilities, and let us remember al- ways to judge-ourselves as we would judge others.

S. three o'clock, Monday pl afternoon, May 3, 1926, M EL Mayor Robert F. Keene, Jr., accepted the key to the city of Brockton from Mayor Bent. At two p. m. on the following day Bob was inducted into the mayor's chair by the man whose place he was temporarily assum- ing. At the same time other city officials gave way to the high school youths. Then for two golden hours Brockton's municipal affairs were conducted by the group of High School boys in connection with the Boys' Loyalty Week programme, which had formally opened with the presentation of the key. The embryo politicians seconded by the department heads and of- ficials, whom they replaced for the time being, took upon themselves the various offices and did their level best not only to grasp the details of municipal government operation but to show their inter- est in city affairs. The members of the tramc squad had their hands full but proved their ability by handling in the manner of regular police- men, all the difficulties encoun- tered which were staged by vari- ous officials of the B. P. D. If there were time we would like to tell how Superintendent of Schools John Chapman sent a job- seeker to the Public Welfare De- partment, how City Clerk George Brooks issued dog and marriage licenses, how Treasurer Warren Leonard negotiated a 5E300,000 loang and how Building Inspector Frank Bent condemned hazardous structures. BAND BROCKTON HIGH SCHOOL BROCKTONIA 35 At eight p. m. sharp Mayor Robert F. Keene and President Glen Leet of the common council, wielding their respective mallets, ordered the records of the last meeting waived, and the city gov- ernment settled down to business. City Clerk George W. Brooks, Jr., whose office was accompanied by that of the aldermanic clerk- ship rendered documents to hiz- zoner so fast that he could hardly dispose of them. After a heated debate the alder- men vested the mayor and city- solicitor to secure a loan of 35750,- 000 outside the debt limit, to lay a pipe line from Silver Lake to in- crease Brockton's water supply. They decided to lay on the table an order to borrow i1S250,000 more for further work on the develop- ment of the Daniel W. Field Park project. A permit was issued to the Eastern Massachusetts Street Railway Co. sanctioning said firm to operate buses at libitum, even in competition with the New Eng- land Transportation Co. An order introduced by Alder- Rhodes that the city borrow 3150,- 000 for a new central Hre station aroused almost every member of the board to verbal argument. Fire Chief Walter Batson gave much good controversy in the affirmation of the order. After it had been noted that the city was spending too much money the vote was lost five to two. Alderman Doherty's order for a beacon-light at the corner of Cen- tre and Montello Streets was like- wise lost. - Alderman Creedon presented a resolve that the board of assessors Be hereby requested to submit a list of all vacant land owned by the city to this body so that the same may be used for reforestra- tion purposes and it was de- clared in line with progress and unanimously adopted. There were several hearings on lunch room licenses. The motion to adjourn to the council chamber was carried. There the board entered into joint session with the council for the purpose of extending thanks to the men whose seats they occu- pied, to the real mayor and to the city government as a whole, and to everyone who had in any way helped to make snccessful their part of the work. ROTARY CLUB ENTERTAINS On Thursday evening, April 29, 1926, the Rotary Club of Brockton entertained for dinner the boys of the High School who have done honor grade work, and boys of the Grammar Schools having the highest scholarship records. The boys assembled before the High School at 5.30 and accom- panied by some members of the Rotary Club filed down to the Commercial Club. The Rotarians were very congenial and mixed among the fellows. All sat down with the hosts, who were inter- spersed among the guests. The evening was completed with the presentation to the stu- dents of certificates in recognition of their good scholarship and then a fine talk was delivered by Rev. J. Nichols Marks, a Scotch min- ister of Fall River. The scholars feel deeply grate- ful for the kind hospitality and friendship shown by these busi- ness men. They are pleased to realize that the Rotarians are so interested in the work of the High School. BROCKTON HIGH SCHOOL CONGRESS BROCKTONIA 37 I -:-:- .q:f,u5,-ws'1 if-24:1w'g'5.v.-xx-:,'-i-:Q 1 .5 .

INTERSCHOLASTIC DEBATE In an interscholastic debate be- tween the debating teams of Brockton and Quincy High was held in the Assembly Hall Friday evening, May 7, 1926, our boys were pronounced victors with the unanimous decision of the judges. Brockton, with one of the strong- est teams in school history, clearly outpointed the losers all the way, taking practically all of the points in the argument: Resolved: That the proposed Child Labor Amend- ment to the Federal Constitution should be adopted. The local team was captained by Harry Borvick and was coached by Mr. G. J. Leufgren of the Eng- lish department. Borvick, a mem- ber of the Sophomore class, was declared to be the best speaker. The other members of the local team were Vincent Eudaco, Joseph Kovner, and Ralph Osborne, alter- nate. The members of the Quincy team were Paul Reardon, Robert Clifford, Robert Brown, and Gor- don Peterson, alternate. Head Master Merle S. Getchell acted as president of the debate and the judges were Rev. Thomas S. Roy, Mr. Hugh Nixon and Mr. R. W. Higgins. ACTIVITY SOCIAL Under the direction of the Heads of Activities, the second annual activity social was held in the Assembly Hall on the evening of May 21, 1926, at eight P. M., with one hundred and thirty mem- bers of the different organizations attending. The affair, open to all those in good standing in the various clubs of the school, was very successful. Under the direction of Laurence Benson, a twelve-piece orchestra composed of students, opened the evening's entertainment, with a short, snappy selection. The tumbling team, made up of Kennison Bosquet, Gordon Marsh, Fred Lanoue, William Monahan, and Hollis Frawley, unrecogniz- able in their comical clown cos- tumes, forced the onlookers to hold on to their sides during ev- ery minute of their clever pro- gram. Stanley Abercrombie on the xylophone, accompanied by his brother, George, at the piano, pro- duced A-No. 1 music. During the intermission Wil- liam Monahan gave a few of his own interpretations of clog danc- mg. After this hour's entertainment, the evening was turned over to the whole group who danced un- til eleven-fifteen P. M. to the music furnished by the aforemen- tioned student-orchestra. The social committee included Laurence Benson, chairmang Rob- ert Tonis, Edward Farley, and Miss Sophie Spekin. BROCKTONIA 39 SENIOR CLASS PLAY If joy is bliss, then those who saw the presentation of the Senior class play Clarence in the As- sembly Hall the evening of April 30, 1926, by a well selected cast must have been in their seventh heaven, for hardly ever before was a play by members of the graduating class so well given. All of the actors showed well their ability and all gave perfect de- lineations of their parts. Francis Doherty, captain of track, was the man of the hour in the title role of Clarence in which he appeared as an example of a care-worn soldier recently discharged from the army. Act- ing as the servant in the house- hold of the rich Mr. Wheeler, Clarence soon finds himself doing all kinds of work from acting as secretary to doing plumbing. Eventually he falls in love with Violet Pinney, the young gover- ness to Mr. Wheeler's now grown- up children. Finally at love's de- mands- he reveals his identity, proving himself to be a noted authority on bugs and insects. Miss Lillian Denham, leading lady, more than portrayed her part of Violet Pinney, the young governess. She, in the young lady who in turn played a great part in disclosing the identity of Clarence, played her part well. Miss Martha H. Abbott of the Malden High School .who acted as coach was presented between the third and fourth acts, a beautiful bouquet of roses by Miss Lillian Denham, leading lady. Miss Helen Clark, faculty advisor, received a large bouquet of flowers, while Mr. William Montgomery, Head of the Manual Arts Department, was given a purse of gold for his fine work of handling the scenes. Music for the occasion was fur- nished by the school orchestra, and between the acts candy was sold by a corps of well trained ushers. Behind the scenes a group of boys assisted Mr. Montgomery in the scene shifting, carrying out their work well. The complete cast was as fol- lows: Mrs. Martin, Miss Bessie Kadishg Mr. Wheeler, Frank Grin- dleg Mrs. Wheeler, Miss Freda Fieldmang Bobby Wheeler, George Gassettg Cora Wheeler, Miss Louise Templeg Violet Pinney, Miss Lillian Denham, Clarence, Francis Doherty, Della, Miss Flor- ence McCarthyg Dinwiddie, Sum- ner Bearman, and Hubert Stem, Walter Kelley. HIGH SCHOOL EXHIBITION A complete exhibition of school work was held in the Assembly hall the afternoons and evenings of Wednesday and Thursday, May 12 and 13, 1926. A large number of friends and parents were present, and all were pleased at the work in the ex- hibit, all of which was done by the pupils in the school. Head Mas- ter Merle S. Getchell was in charge of the display. During the four sessions, short concerts were furnished by the regular band and orchestra of the school. Under the direction of Miss -Frances MacDonald, young ladies from the physical training depart- ment presented dances and drills while, under the direction of Mr. George S. Chamberlain, 15 boys gave an exhibition of tumbling. The exhibition, which is given every other year, featured the folio and mapbook work of the pupils.

W Q I- W 0-f SEA FEVER A man does not know, when first the sea begins to beckon to him and persistently whisper, whisper, Come, how from year to year she will draw him more closely to her, weaving about him that mystic blue circle which be- comes his world and his life,-yes his life, identified as it were with his personality. Sometimes the line of land breaks the circle, of- fering him his freedomg but soon he returns seaward conscious that there, if ever, he will be free. He knows that if sometime he must turn away, it can only be at the command of some power greater and stronger than old Ocean. Some call a voyagea monoton- ous venture. In their wild scram- ble for worldly means, they fol- low the mad, rushing wheel of Fortune. To them, a trip at sea is but a parenthesis in their livesg an interval in which valuable time is lostg a depressing eventg a gap. To others, a voyage is a term in prison, a veritable jail-sentence, enclosure between rolling Walls in turn surrounded by a vast waste, seemingly boundless. But the real children of the briny deep are drawn by the mag- net of the rolling sea to its very bosom. It is inevitable. They cannot resist the .longing to be away from worldly contactg to be under clear skies with a rolling deck beneath their feetg to sense the wild exhilaration of real free- domg to feel the sting of salt spray on their faces 3 to have their features tanned by the sun and windg to thrill at danger in the grip of a stormg to explore the ut- most ends of the earthg these are but a few of the episodes in the career of the jolly Jack-Tar whom we occasionally see, his soul bub- bling over with joy and his blood tingling with health. The sun by day and the stars of Heaven by night welcome him. The world's closed doors are thrown open to him. He is as free as the wind that blows where it will. It is easy to make friends with the sea. Herbert Gifford, '26. IAM PRAETENTA, ELEV! It is a typical June evening, warm and balmy but not uncom- fortably so. At intervals, outside the familiar brick building, a cool breeze sweeps softly through the maple trees, arousing the slum- bering leaves to a hushed murmur. Clustered about the old building on the drives and parking spaces are many automobiles gaudily decked in nile-green streamers and other gala attire. All is quiet. An air of expectancy seems to hover over the patiently waiting iron steeds. From within the building one can hear the strains of an or- chestra and many eager voices tuned in happy unison. Now comes a long interval of silence followed by multitudinous applauding which relates without words that each graduate has proudly received his diploma. 42 BROCKTONIA Silence from without is no more. Pademonium reigns. With a bulge and a groan the doors of the school burst outwards and some four hun- dred alumni pour down the granite steps. They scatter in all direc- tions, laughing and shouting. Over there an engine sputters, coughs and starts into life, and here in front is a hatless youth busily cranking his faithful Collegiate It, too, pulsates into life and with a barking roar from its cutter-less cut-out plunges down the street with its load of joyful occupants. Blatant horns and straining gears are now heard in every direction and in quick succession other cars leave. A weak cheer commences which soon swells into a mighty shoutg then horns, pans, and num- erous noise-makers once more pro- claim their presence. Soon not a single machine is left. The crowd is gone. Far away in the distance an occasional shout or horn is heard, then silence creeps softly onto his throne. One by one the lights go out in the faithful old building and at last it is completely shrouded in darkness. It seems to be in mourning for the departed class which for four short years it had learned to love. A lonesome breeze wafts about the school and then steals silently away. Class of 1926 is at last history. Robert M. Fletcher, '26. THE WEAKER UD SEX Satire's my weapon-Alexander Pope As I know little or nothing about the modern girl, I realize, as do most of my contemporaries, that I am fully qualified to write upon this delicate subject. A little knowledge is a dangerous thing. But the female of the specie claims that knowledge is but another name for woman, so therefore I conclude A little girl is a danger- ous thing. Much ado is being made over the fact that the modern young lady is taking up athletics seriously. This will undoubtedly do her a great deal of good, although for years her puny physique, augmented by articles of pottery, rolling pins, and other domestic aids, has been sufficient to keep the humble male in abject docility. Sports for girls and women are nothing new. For ages they have been engaging in those wonderful lung-developing exercises known as Spanish Athletics. I might go on forever citing in- numerable additions to what has constituted the woman's daily dozen for years, such as twisting men around herlittle finger, pick- ing them up,', and when they fall for her breaking their hearts by throwing them down, etc., etc. You know what I mean. While the fair sex may be changing their form of athletics, their par- ticipation in them is nothing new. Inconsistency, thy name is woman remarked some sage phil- osopher of forgotten ages, who certainly knew his stuff. Al- most any of the sex which I am praising so highly, would shriek with terror at seeing a poor, soli- tary, defenseless, mouse wending its way across the kitchen floor but would face the Furies if they talked of her mate in a slanderous manner, or if they threatened her precious offspring, probably some squalling brat who has made many a peaceful neighbor entertain thought of homicide.

To say the least my feelings towards girls are entirely friend- ly and I have merely tried to dis- pel some insidious hallucinations concerning them which have exist- ed for some time. William J. Madden, '26. BELLS BELLS BELLS The stars were at their bright- est. Beautifully in the depths of the darkened sky they glistened like pearls in an ebony setting. Flashes of silvery light emerged from nowhere to dazzle my won- dering eyes. Then, as the horizon began to turn grey the stars lost their lus- tre. Bells now began tolling. From where the sounds came I am at a loss to say, but I do know that they mingled excellently with the beauty of the twilight. Loud heavy bells, twinkling sil- ver bells, jingling sleigh bells, laughing wedding bells, all varie- ties of bells chimed in to complete the harmony. Then all faded slowly, slowly. I felt a dainty hand pressed in mine. Oh Paradise! The owner of that soft hand was speaking. Breathlessly I listened. In a voice as sweet as bowered roses she croonedg Poor boy! I didn't mean to hit you so hard. H. Carlin, '26. OPPORTUNITY Dear Editor: We are just a group of big- hearted philanthropists who have been stricken with pity at your impecunious condition, and have decided to give you a chance to make big money during the sum- mer. We are sure that a young man of your undoubted genius must know of our product, Hay- reggenn, which is guaranteed to grow hair on anything from a billiard ball to a jelly-fish. It is also wonderful shoe polish, and when dried, makes a good chew- ing gum. As a hair dye, Hay- reggenn will make gray hair black, red hair blue, green hair pink, and mohair, less. For a very small sum you can be our ex- clusive agent in your district. Remember the words of Jesse James, the great financier who said, We must provide now for the future. How would you like to spend your old age in poverty, gnawing on a crust, or maybe without any crust at all, just knawing? How would you like to reach your second childhood with- out any money with which to buy a rattle? In order to avert any such con- tingency, communicate with us at once and get our Vital Statistics. Send an envelope with 81.25 in stamps for reply. Lovingly and affectionately Joseph E. Hendry, '26. Pres. of the Badde Company. BROCKTONIA ltilllGllll Still llOUlL, STYlLlUS M MMXM In 1887, when Brockton High was prospering under the leader- ship of the late Edward Parker, the lirst year students were known as the Juniors, the second-years as Middlers and the third years as Senior. Through Mr. Parker's efforts a fourth year class was established to give special training to those who planned to enter college. It was called the Advanced Class. It was at this time that the first Brockton High School paper came into existence. It was called the High School Stylus and was man- aged even as Brocktonia is today, by a staff selected from the stu- dent body. It came out once ev- ery month and although the first few numbers contained only four pages ltwo sheets, eight inches by elevenb it soon doubled in size. There were many, included among its advertisers, who are still doing business. On the following two pages we have reproduced articles from various numbers of the worthy lit- tle sheet. We have tried to give you a small sample of an average Stylus. We smcerely thank Mrs. Arthur L.

GOODALL, Printer, Brockton. 1Vol. II, No. 8, Nov. 5, 18881 BROCKTON Brockton, is a busy, bustling, lively city of more than 25,000 inhabitants, is the metropolis of Plymouth County. The principal occupation is shoe manufactur- ing, there being a large number of shoe shops where a great many people are furnished with employment. The strikes that took place a short time ago caused quite a panic, but things now seem to be running smooth- ly, very seldom anything occurring to disturb the friendly relations between employer and employee. Among the largest factories are Geo. E. Keith's, at Campello, Stacy Adams Sz Co., Fred Packard's and Houghton Sz Coolidges. Brockton is on the Old Colony Railroad and is an hour's ride from Boston on an accommodation train and 33 minutes on an express train. The depot, which might be improved, answers all purposes required of it, although mornings and evenings. it is well filled with people, many of them being men and women who work in the shops, and reside outside the city limits. Pk 'lf JF Ik lk Horse cars run on Main, Belmont, Pleasant, Centre, Montello, and School streets, and tracks for the electric rail- way have just been laid on Ward, Mon- tello, and Crescent streets and one or two smaller street, where the cars com- menced to run October 24th. Porter's stable furnishes many hand- some hacks, barouches, and other vehicles. Coaches convey many of the working people to and from .North Easton, Rockland, Whitman, and other adjourning towns. X Perkins park, which is a very level tract between Pleasant and Spring streets, perhaps should next come in for its share of attention. It bids fair to be a fine park when the five foot trees on it have doubled their height and flower gardens have been made, but at present during the summer it might be styled as more of a hay field than a park. The majority of the streets are lighted by electric lights, the station is located between Lincoln and School streets, fac- ing on Montello, Two daily papers are printed in Brock- ton, The Enterprise and Gazette, but per- haps it is better not to criticize either, but simply say that the Enterprise has quite as large a circulation as the Gaz- ette. The Fair Grounds may be mentioned as one thing that makes Brockton fam- ous, or rather the Fair itself. There are three Congregational churches, four Baptist. one Swedenborg, one Catholic and one Universalist, in the city. The High School graduating exercises are held in City Theatre every year. fVol. II, No. 9, Dec. 10, 18881 MOTTOES A vain man's motto is: Win gold and wear it. A generous man's: Win gold 'and share it. , A miser's: To win gold and snare it. A profligater's: Win gold and spend it. A Broker's: Win gold and lend it. A Gambler's or a Fool's: Win gold and lose it. Bi t a wise man's: Win gold and use it. HHIGH SCHOOL STYLUS fVol. 3, No. 10, January, 19001 AN APPEAL TO THE SCHOLARS What our paper lacks is poetry. As I looked over the exchanges there was hardly one which did not contain one or more original poems. There must be some poets in the school, and we wish they would show themselves. Come try to write a poem, Some short and simple tale To soothe this hopeless feeling: You can no more than fail. You cannot write a poem? Then write for me some prose What you can do by trying, As yet there's no one knows. Oh can't you have some pity On us poor editors? We are forever writing, We get no chance to pause. Now this appeal I've written, Is just to let you see, Before you do your writing, What easy work 'twill be. THE STYLUS HOUSEHOLD COLUMN QVol. 3, No. 3, April 15, 18891 To cure a headache take a teaspoonful of fine salt in a tumbler of water. Raw oysters are highly recommended as a cure for hoarseness. CVol. 3, No. 2, March 11, 18891 T0 REMOVE BRUISES FROM FURNITURE Wet the part with warm watery double a piece of brown paper five or six times, soak and lay it on the place, apply on that a hot flat-iron till the moisture is evaporated. If the bruise is not gone, repeat the process. After two or three applications the dent or bruise will be raised level with the surface. Keep it continuously wet and in a few minutes the bruise will disappear. Tough meat may be made tender by lying a few minutes in vinegar water. TO STOP HICCOUGI-IS Swallow a mouthful of water, stop- ping the mouth and ears. Or take any- thing that makes you sneeze. fVol. I, No. 7, Oct. 4, 18871 In conjunction with the other schools of the city, the High School has had an- other branch of learning added to its list of studies-that of drawing-and under the instruction of Miss Mary Titcomb, a graduate of the Normal Art school, of Boston, it is expected that much advance- ment will be made in this art. Our' ever wide-awake principal is al- ways conjuring up some plan for the practical improvement of his pupils. His plan of having each scholar tell a story from memory, in their own words, is an excellent one, as it fosters extemporane- ous speaking. It has occurred to us' that something in the line of debate would be conducive of good results. No doubt the boys would like to try it. fVol. II, No. 3, April 9, 18881 Quietly, but with certainty, the school year is drawing to a close. Work for the graduating exercises is being assigned, and after the spring vacation teachers and pupils alike will be more than busy. fVol. III, No. 3, April 15, 18891 The graduating class this year num- bers forty-five, two less than the number in last year's class. We should be very much pleased if three or four more scholars would decide to graduate, in order that we may say the Class of '89 was the largest class that has ever graduated from our High School. As the year draws to its close, many of the class are heard to remark: How I wish I could stretch this year out, for I hate to leave school terribly. fVol. II, No. 8, Nov. 5, 18881 Taking notes during the speaking has proved a success. It strengthens the memory and will be of use later in life. fSame issue1 Since the last number, there has been a change in the order of exercises. The Greek fMid1 class now recites at recess and the hour which they occupied is now taken by the Caesar class. The French class recites in two divisions. fVol. I, No. 7, Oct. 4, 18871 THE GYMNASIUM The gymnasium being such a popular resort for boys, and holding so prominent a place in the history of the school, it would be well to consider its origin and originators. As early as 1873 a horizon- tal bar was placed in the rear of the old High-school building, and was much used . . . . Ball games were much enjoyed, although to the annoyance of the neigh- bors. In this way the need of in-door amusements became evid-ent. The first active measures were taken in 1882 .... Nearly every boy in school came to Miss HIGH SCHOOL STYLUS Pettee's office ..... During the first five years appear the names of F. C. King- man, S. R. Jones, L. E. Rich, F. E. Gur- ney, and Arthur Murdock, A. L. Beals as leading officers of the organization. . . . . Under the first administration the constitution and by-laws were drawn up. At this time the horizontal bar, dumb- bells, Indian clubs, parallel bars, row- ing machine, rings, in short about every- thing but fencing foils, were introduced. CVol. I, No. 8, Nov. 4, 18871 P. B.

III, NO. 2, March 11, 18895 TOBACCO Tobacco is a plant first raised in the Southern States. Tobacco is used in five ways: to smoke as in pipes, cigars and cigarettes, to chew and as snuff. In all these forms it is very in- jurious to the whole body, principally on account of the large amount of nico- tine it contains, nicotine being a deadly poison. In order to sell tobacco in any form, it is necessary to have a license from the United States. Cigarettes are the worst form of tobacco and are much used by boys and young men of today. Cigars are very injurious but cigarettes much more so, as they are wrapped in cheap paper and are made from old cigars found in the street. As a conclu- sion, let me repeat an extract from a report of the U. S. Naval Academy, in 1875: Tobacco, even when used in small amount by students, lessens their capa- city for study and application, by head- ache, confusion of intellect, loss of memory, impaired vision, lassitude, in- disposition to muscular effort, nausea, want of appetite, dyspepsia, palpitation, tremulousness, disturbed sleep, impaired power of attention, etc. QA Juniorl. fVol. III, No. 4, May 16, 18895 WANTED To know if a man can be arrested for killing time?

H., commends Broclftofhiar as a whole and thinks that the jokes are clever and that the ideas are original. The material in our Valentine number was lively and interest- ing, and the Exchanges therein were especially clever according to the Students Pen of Pittsfield High. The Spaulding Sentvjnal tells us that our cuts are numerous and exceptionally good. The English High School Rec- ord thinks our cover rather com- mon likes our department heads, commends our stories, and highly praises our poetry. Congratulations on your Val- entine Number, says the O11- server of Ansonia, Conn. Cer- tainly a complete issue with a very attractive cover. 'Condemnedf by Louis Selmanoff, is a thrilling story with a clever ending. Three cheers for the Exchange depart- ment! OUR OPINIONS The clever, up-to-date material in the Spaulding Sentiual always holds our interest. The editorial on Vanity Cases was well written in the Recmrl, sent from Newburyport High. What we liked in The Imlcr was the editorial section. When it comes to making a mag- azine girls can compete with boys any day. The Jabberwoclc of Girls' Latin High, Boston, has an air of individuality. The story in The Red and Blarlr of Newport, R. I., made our heart beats exceed the speed limit. We only 'found a few jokes in The Observer of Ansonia, Conn. You had good stories and well- written Alumni notes. The Shuttle from the High School of Practical Arts, Boston, has an attractive cover. By the looks of Phunny Phox you have some artistic talent. Therefore why not produce some more lively cuts? ? CLUB SPEAKING DINNER AFTER BROCKTONIA 55 OUR OPINIONS When we open The Argus of Gardner, Mass., it almost seems like home. We found that The Noddler from East Boston High School certainly had a variety of mate- rial. The Students Pen representing Pittsfield High has very fine poems. We discovered interesting mate- rial in the Keene High School Enterprise under the column en- titled The Crucible. It is always a pleasure to open The Oracle from Bangor, Maine. We found that The Gleam of Walnut Hills High, Cincinnati, Ohio, succeeded in making their number humorous. The editorial Choosing a Life's Work in The English High School Record of Boston was per- feet. The Wissahickon from Philadel- phia has been about the most per- fect paper we have had. And it always has such interesting cov- ers. The Easy Mark kept the Red and Black of Dorchester from be- ing a real bachelor's magazine. We would like to have you put us on your permanent exchange list. The Climber of Howard High School, West Bridgewater, was very compact and complete for its size. The Abhis, a visitor from Ab- ington, appears to have carefully selected matter which shows much talent for a ,small school. THE BEST ALL 'ROUND EXCHANGE WE HAVE EVER RECEIVED ' Broughton Secondary School, Edinburgh, Scotland, 26!3!26. Dear Miss Jordan, There are so many on the Staff of Brocktonia that I am in some doubt as to whom I ought to write, but since you are Exchange Editor fan office un- known herel I suppose you will be the right person to address this to. You ask me to exchange and comment. I have already posted a copy of our magazine, but since we have no exchange depart- ment, I must perforce write yoii in per- son. My letter, I hope, will be more than a comment, but may help to give you a slight impression of school life over here. It was indeed a pleasant surprise to receive a magazine from Brockton. The name sounded familiar, especially sfnce we Scotsmen ought to falthough we don'tb pronounce the name of our school Brockton, All of us here are wonder- ing how it comes about that a school far away across the Atlantic should hear of a comparatively insignificant school like Broughton. Perhaps some former pupil has joined the descendants of the Pil- grim Fathers? Your magazine, on the production of which I must compliment you, has given us all much pleasure in the reading, and has to some extent shattered the false ideas concerning American schools which the cinema has imposed upon us. The first thing that struck me on re- ceiving Brocktonia was the excellent way in which the matter is arranged, the pleasing illustrations, and the fine printing. In poor poverty-stricken f?J Scotland Qabout three-fourth of which is the playground of Scottish, English, and American millionairesj the cost of such printing and so many line-blocks would be prohibitive. Also remember that every time a Scot buys a Brough- ton Magazine, bang goes sixpencen fabout 12c.J and in these days when Churchill is squeezing every farthing out of us to pay war-debts fno offence meantl, even sixpences are scarce. In- stead of your four issues per year, we can only manage two, Christmas and Summer. I must compliment you on your illus- trations, besides which our cartoon looks cheap, and especially on your cover. When I consider its originality and its excellent workmanship I can hardly be- lieve that a student designed it. I am afraid, though, that if we were to print a cover design with Cupid and a heart on it, the old wifes fmale and femalej on the local Educational Authority would go into hysterics. Some of your poems are remarkably fine, especially To Our Mothers, Mother, and My Garden. Indeed BROCKTONIA 57 all your literature is good. As to your quotations, it must be admitted that you know our poets better than we do ourselves. Of your articles, or sketches as you call them, I especially enjoyed the Diary of a Modern Pepys. One point about your stories however. It seems to me that they are too conven- tional and are too exclusively concerned with love. I thoroughly Trouble- More and Less. Indeed I almost died with laughter, but the pity is that the writer seems to take it all very seri- ously. I'm afraid that over here love stories would only be welcomed when burlesqued, as in The Origin of Mac- Crimmon's Lament. However, your serial, The Out1aw's Daughter, is quite a good plan. We wish we'd thought of it ourselves. I hope you will get a good humorous ending for it. Your Club Notes are unique. The paucity of clubs at Broughton contrasts strongly with the number of yours. The club at Broughton is the Literary Society which meets in the school every second Friday during the winter and spring terms. It is a sort of combined literary, debating, and social club and its membership includes most post-inter- mediate pupils. Then there is a Dra- matic Society which usually produces a Shakespearean play every year. The dresses and scenery are prepared by ourselves, orchestra and three choirs. At Broughton such clubs as the French and German Clubs would be failures, although practically every one has French. But as for German, impossible! In fact, I happen to be the only student in the out-going year who took Higher German this year. To come to Sport. I see your princi- pal game is basketball. Over here we only play it during the gym lessons. Rugby football is the winter sport for boys, but although the team plays quite well, the members of the club are a spoon-fed lot, incapable of raising their own funds, and requiring a teacher as secretary. The Girls' Hockey Club is a much healthier institution. In summer there are two cricket teams, girls and boys, but the girls here have been known to beat the boys, or almost so. The Tennis Club is open to both sexes. A Golf Club has been successfully run in recent years during the summer term, while this year it is intended to start a girls' section. What you call Track is confined to our Sports Meeting in June and the Inter-Scholastic Sports. This year a few of us will try to start a Swimming Club, but we doubt the possibility of a water-polo team. You will notice the Broughton Magazine gives very little space to sportg this is for two reasons. First, it is primarily a literary magazine. Second, the Rug- by and Hockey Clubs do little to support it. Now to explain land to apologize forl the Broughton Magazine. I see the Brocktonia has a staff of eighteen. Lucky Brocktonia ! And lucky Editor- in-Chief! The staff of the Broughton Magazine comprises one person-my- self. You see then the handicap under which I labour. Only about three stu- dents give me any help. However the head teachers of English and of History give me much good advice and help. The apathy towards the production of the Mag., and the reluctance to do any of the donkey-work, must be unknown in Brockton. But I hope to have an As- sistant Editor and an Advertisement Manager before our next issue. Com- pared with other Secondary Schools here, Broughton nevertheless does quite well. Only one other mixed school, and the two schools exclusively for girls, have a student as Editor. In all the others, including all the Boys' Schools, the editor is a teacher and about sev- enty per cent. of the magazine is filled with Sport and Club reports. To re- turn to Broughton. You may get some idea of how little support I get, when I tell you that all the unsigned items, and those over a pseudonym, were written by the poor over-worked Editor. Even three of the Club Notices were written by me. However, it was great fung and you may be sure I shall rub in the ex- ample of Brockton in my next issue. I see by now I am at my eighth page. I apologize for being so verbose. fThere goes the joke about the taciturnity of the Scotll Before I close, may I state that all at Broughton hope that the ex- change of magazines between us will become a permanent feature. Antici- pating the receipt of your April issue, I am, Yours sincerely, J. K. ARMAND P. S.-I intend to steal your Scotch joke for my next Peude Rire. J. K.

Fletcher, '26, BROCKTONIA 59 FAREWELL A simple message, mine I bring, To thee, sweet Spirit, one of Spring Of gently thrusting blade, Of opening bud, of flowering lawn, Of Love's soft eye, of life's new dawn, Of youth, high, unafraid. This is the part to youth assigned To hew his path, to climb, to find God's message and intent, To strive, and from his fellows learn God's highest tribute, and return That legacy unspent. OH with thy winter's dull grey shroud Dismay is not for thee! Endowed With truth desired and pure, Strike from the sullen rocks new springs, Give to thy hope and heart new wings That through the years endure. Then Brockton High School thrice will hailg Our life's dear Spring, a wondrous tale Of future telling, keep Thy mother's arms about us while Each passing season earns thy smile Till death's ne'er ending sleep.

PLAYMATES OF YESTERDAY fAs Reviewed in 19461 Oh, where are the playmates of yesterday,- The fellows we knew in school? Oh, what has become of the studi- ous one,-- And where, oh where, is the fool? And what has become of the ora- tor, Whose passion it was to recite, And the bashful kid who could- n't speak Unless he succumbed to fright? Oh, xghat has become of the model Oy, Whom we called the teacher's pet? And where, oh where, is the tough young nut, The faculty's vain regret? The studious one, so We've been told, Is driving a cab these days, While the fool owns stock in a bank or two And a railroad that always pays. The orator who could speak so well Is a clerk in a dry goods store, And the bashful kid we know has been In Congress ten years or more. The model boy is behind the bars For stealing a farmer's cow. And you ask about the tough young nut ? Why he's a preacher now. Gordon B. Marsh, '27. RIGHT IS MIGHT Oh there was a king's son named MacDuff, Being fair couldn't stand for a bluff, So he duelled Macbeth And stabbed him to death, Prince Malcolm then reigned, sure enough.

CLUB STORY TELLING BROCKTONIA 61 IF IT WERE POSSIBLE Where ileecy clouds go floating o'er And blossoms bloom on ev'ry side, Where perfumed zephers kiss the brow I'd build a lodge and there abide. To nature then my thoughts I'd give And spurn the madd'ned rush for fame Which leads but to a broken heart E'en though it gain a lasting name. Each day I'd spend in writing verse Of nymphs and fauns and na- ture fair. With ev'ry bird and beast my friend I'd find true life and glory there. Frank H. Grindle, '26. -lil-i.

THE WATER'S FALL With 'brupt descent The water went, Tumbling deep and low With sullen roar, As the wat'ry store Increased with steady flow. The singing fall Obscured all With heavy, heated mist. From a narrow crypt The silver slipped And hummed, and sighed hissed. and With all enhanced, The water danced And glared like shiny sleet As in a trance, I watched it dance And twinkle at my feet. While the liquid boiled And coiled and toiled In queer erratic path, A voice called out With angry shout Why don't you take your bath Y Horace C.

A CASE FOR SCOTLAND YARD This month for some unknown reason the youthful minds of our worthy authors seem inspired to produce detective stories. If there is a course of this nature being taught, perhaps, under the instruc- tion of Hawkshaw or Sherlock Holmes or some other noted authority along this line, please let us all know. We would like to take it. Of course it may be that it's merely coincidental. The Staff. ALL 1 T was his last year in col ... I I - lege and he was still be- 1-,lggu ing laughed at by his classmates. Bertram Ethelbert Jones, Sleuth for short, had a mania for finger-prints. He even had gone as far as to get the fin- ger-prints of the dean. He kept a huge folio with pictures of the finger prints, all numbered, of all his classmates. In the back of this folio he kept a typewritten sheet with the numbers of the pictures and the corresponding names. The adventures he had had and the means he had used in procuring them alone would fill a five-foot book shelf. And now in his last year, Sleuth, by a queer accident, became re- spected and accepted as a com- panion by the members of his class. Sleuth, one day, entered his room and was greeted by a scene of wild disorder. His bed was pulled to pieces and the bed- clothes were scattered around the room. The chairs were on top of BUN K the bed, the desk was upset. Books, papers, and pencils were scattered all over the floor. On one of the chairs some books had been piled and a half-filled bottle of ink was perilously balancing on top of these. Sleuth reached into his pocket and drew forth a magnifying glass as was his habit when anything of a mysterious nature appeared. In the midst of his meditations, someone slapped him on the shoulder and demanded, Well, come out of it. What's all the trouble ? Sleuth turned to see Fred Allen and Tom Hardy, two of his class- mates and most persistent teasers. See for yourself, he replied, pointing to his room. What a peach of a rough- house. Someone had it in for you, all right, Tom said. Poor boy, and Fred wept most heart-breakingly. Don't you dare touch anything in this room, said Sleuth, until 64 BROCKTONIA I've got some finger prints. I'm going to prove to you now that this stuff isn't all bunk. Drawing on some gloves, he walked across the room and picked up the ink bottle, examining it. Aha, he exclaimed, and opening a drawer in his overturned desk, he drew out his folio. After trans- ferring the prints on the bottle to paper, he sat down with his folio and started hunting. He looked up at Tom and said, Number 13 coincides exactly with the finger- print on this bottle. Now to find out who number 13 is. After consulting the typewrit- ten page, he uttered a little cry. What's the matter? Fred de- manded. Never mind, Sleuth replied and abruptly left the room. He rushed to the dean's. office and en- tered without knocking. What do you mean by rough-housing my room ? he demanded. Young man, do you realize who you are talking to? the dean asked. I know, but I found your fin- ger-prints on my things. Come with me and we'll find out about this, and the dean led the way to Sleuth's room. Now explain yourself. Well, said Sleuth, I came in and found the room in the condi- tion you now see it, and this ink- bottle was resting on top of that pile of books where the least jar would upset it. I took a photo- graph of the finger prints which I found on the bottle and here they are. I looked through my book and found that they coin- cided exactly with number 13. Look for yourself and see if they wasn't well informed on such a subject. And according to my lists, number 13 is the picture of your finger prints. Now isn't that pretty good evidence ? I'll admit it is, but- Say, Fred broke in, wait a minute. I didn't realize that this would get so serious. While you were out, Sleuth, I copied the names and rearranged the num- bers so I think you'll have to let the dean out of this. You rearranged the numbers? What for ? demanded Sleuth. Aw, just for a joke. I didn't take any stock in this stuff and I wanted to see if there was more truth than poetry in it. Do you remember how you changed it ? Oh, I just moved the names up one number and put the last name on the end, but really I am perfectly innocent as far as wreck- ing the room is concerned. Then the name opposite num- ber 12 would be the one to go with picture 13. And that is Tom Hardy, ejaculated Sleuth. Tom, demanded the dean, did you do this ? Yes, sir, admitted Tom, I didn't believe in the stuff either but I took a different way to prove it false. I'll admit now that there is something in it. And that isn't all, spoke up the dean, you'll both set to work and put this room in the same condition that you found it, with which he left the room. And this is the way that Bert- ram Ethelbert Jones, better known as Sleuth, was recognized as one of the leading members of his class and a friend to all.

The dean admitted that they did although he said that he 1 we ow ' B R O C K T 0 N I A 65 THE WOMAN UPSTAIRS Hobart Leanard, the private de- tective, was sitting in his office. He was slouched in a deep soft chair. Thick blue-black smoke writhed to the ceiling from an odd looking Manila cigar, from which he occasionally nervously flicked the ashes. His student as- sistant, Butler Scott, was perched majestically on a high cushioned settee, smoking a cigarette. But- ler, his lanky limbs sprawled spaciously around a Morris chair, was dreamily gazing with his great brown eyes at the smoke- stained ceiling. But their somno- lent siesta was doomed to inter- ruption. The door below opened, and the heavy tread of feet re- sounded, scuffing up the rickety old stairs, then, the door of the office vibrated with a heavy knock. Butler, with a catlike yawn, saun- tered to the door and flung it open. Directly without, stood a man of very aristocratic bearing. Leanard slowly raised his head. A complacent grin surfaced his physiognomy at the prospects of replenishing his sadly dwindled pecuniary resources. He extended his hand, saying, Step right in and be seated, sir, and we will see what we can do for you. The stranger did as asked and, after having settled in a large chair with the utmost delibera- tion, iterated thusly, I come to you on a very important errand. My name is Norman A. Earle and I live at No. - Rodney Road. I would like to hear your explica- tions on a few unfathomable things that have been bothering me at my home. I will pay any reasonable fee for your services and I wish you to come to my home Monday prepared to stay as guests for a week. Monday I will divulge to you as much of the story as I am able. Here an expression of pain flick- cred on his brow and he grew deathly pale. With difficulty he stood up and took a small vial from his vest pocket. He placed it to his lips and allowed some of its contents to trickle down his throat. In a moment he was nor- mal again. Just a slight attack of heart trouble, he remarked. Do not desert me now when I need you most. He then arose with a nervous smile playing around his lips, and departed. As soon as Leanard had noticed the spring door snap shut, he shook his unkempt head whimsi- cally. A very queer person, But- ler, a very queer person, indeed, he murmured. Monday soon came, finding our two adventurers entering the side gate of Mr. Earle's vast estate. The way led through a sylvan path alive with checkered shadows, and drenched with sweet odors of fragrant flowers. They soon came out upon the spacious, tiled courtyard, barren but for a gurgling spring gushing from the mouth of a miniature bronze lion. The lion was on the border of the tiles in the middle of the side fac- ing the immense house. Our friends ascended the steps, and rang the bell. Almost simultaneously with the ringing the maid opened the door. After having given their nomen- clatures, they were ushered to their rooms. The way led through cor- ridors and halls furnished with in- estimable opulence, and up wind- ing stairways with brazen railings and fluiy carpets. Butler was so astounded at these signs of regal extravagance that he ap- peared as one in a trance. The maid having disappeared, they unpacked their grips for their visit. This done, Leanard lit one of his freak cigars and sank wear- ily into a nearby richly tapestried chair, while Butler laboriously Continued on page 1 I5 SEWING CLUB BROCKTONIA G7 NOT SO ILL A WIND It was raining hard and the sullen gray clouds gave no hint of clearing. The old baggage mas- ter was sitting on a trunk, his jaws going at a fast rate. Now and then he emitted a stream of tobacco juice, just clearing the slippery Walk in front of the depot. On a trunk opposite him, sat a young man who nervously twitched and turned, glancing at his watch every little while. Yes, sir, said the old man, I reckon thet thet train must a got held up down the track a stretch. Well, replied the younger man, whom we shall call Larry, I do hope it arrives before we get swamped. He looked out into the storm but it now seemed to be raining harder. Big drops splashed and spattered on the gutterless roof, running down the well-worn depot sign which read East Plymptonf' The baggage room was lighted by a greasy lamp which threw a fitful light into the center of the room only. Suddenly Larry straightened up. Sure enough, there was the,headlight slowly piercing its way through the fog. He jumped down from the trunk, picked up a short, squatty brown satchel, and, turning up his coat collar, ran out into the pouring rain. The train drew up to the station and, with a great creaking, slowly came to a stop. The en- gineer jumped down and shouted, Hey, Jerry, telephone to head- quarters and tell them that we had a washout down south of here about a mile. Righto! answered Jerry, as he hobbled off to the ticket office. Meanwhile Larry had boarded the train, put his satchel up on the baggage rack and sunk down in a comfortable plush seat. He fell asleep after a short time un- til the raucous voice of the con- ductor woke him with Bronx, Bronx, change here for all down town stations. Larry raised himself, stretched, and peered out into the night. It had stopped raining but it was still blowing. He reached for his satchel, but- toned his coat, and walked up the aisle out of the train. At the newsstand, his favorite paper, The Tab, caught his eye with flaring headlines. Daring Rob- bery! Valuable plate, rings, and other jewelry stolen from the summer home in East Plympton of Mrs. Van Sykes, prominent New York Society Woman! Thieves last seen near railroad track! Larry pondered. East Plymp- ton? Why, that's the place where I changed this afternoon. I won- der if they could have boarded the train I was on! But no, that was impossible. It was an express from there to Palmersville and that was out of Larry's way, so that was why he had gotten off to wait for the next train to New York City. Larry shoved the paper into his pocket still deliber- ating over the robbery. Then he walked to a nearby restaurant and had his supper, whereupon he boarded a car, and soon was with- in a few minutes' walk of his home. Employed by an insurance com- pany, Larry was noted for being a fine salesman, so all the big prospects were assigned to him. His position required steadfast- ness and much tact and, conse- quently, commanded good pay. Larry lived with his mother, her comfort and support since the death of his father, and her lov- ing greeting was followed by the query, Have you had your sup- per yet, Larry dear? Yes, mother, said Larry. Downtown Say, look here, mother, aren't the robberies be- Continued on page I2 5 68 BROCKTONIA .

The great Red and Black batting gave them an early lead. Dan Creedon, Kane, Mathews, and Reagan took the lead at bat for Brockton. Michaels and Gurl shared the hon- ors for Coach Brown's nine.

WHITMAN WHIPPED 10-7 Superior hitting gave Brockton the edge in its Iirst home game of the season with Whitman on Wednesday, April 28. The field- ing of both teams was poor and it was the wielding of the stick which determined the outcome.

FIRST DEFEAT OF SEASON The local outfit succumbed at the hands of the Fall River boys on Eldon Keith field, Tuesday, May 4, by a score of 9-2. Moson, the opposing pitcher, had the Red and Black completely baffled. Poor fielding and lack of zest on the part of the local team were preva- lent throughout the contest. Danny Creedon and Bill Giles held their positions creditably throughout the contest. Archard, Comeau, Oliver, and Mason of Durfee proved to be consistent Texas Leaguers.

Bill Giles made a real hit for lhe first home run of the season. Johnny Crahan shone at bat but had rather bad luck in the field. Dee, Kelley, and Creedon look fine for Brockton.

Fine material was found. Although most of the stars are upperclass- men, many future bright lights were noticed from the first two classes. Coach Chamberlain has worked diligently to put the boys in shape and has done so in a very creditable manner. Capt. Doherty, who has proved worthy of cap- taining such a fine team, repre- sented Brockton High School for the last time at the State Meet.

This practice is not finished yet but the best rec- ords to date are a jump of four feet two inches, made by Ida Mor- rison, a far-throw of ninety-two feet five inches, by Alta Jones: and the time of six and three-tenths seconds made in the dash by Doris Martin.

SWIMMING TEAM A rumor has been whispered about, that next year the mermen of B. H. S. will have a chance to do their stuff. Many A. No. 1 schools in our vicinity have established teams and have found means of procur- ing pools of friendly organizations in their respective cities for cer- tain hours during each week for the purpose of training their tal- ent. We know that our alma mater would be right up to date with a good showing if this privilege Would but be granted. An outside team which includes eight mem- bers from our school has been working hard the past few sea- sons in a local pool, and they've got the stuff. And there are undoubtedly many others who will shine forth if this issue is decided in the af- firmative. Let's talk it up!

' IA HEADS OF ACTIVITIES W URING the past year, the E, Heads of Activities have met with Mr. Getchell on the average of once a month. The object of this group is to clear up difficulties arising between activi- ties, such as the dates of activity meetings, and to give inspiration to each Head concerning his ac- tivity. Under the guidance of this group, the dates of recess dances were alloted to the differ- ent clubs. The suppo1't of school activities has been stressed at these meetings. It is due to this, that the events of the past year have been so successful. On May 21, 1926 an Activity Social was held under the auspices of the Heads of Activities. Only mem- bers of activities were allowed to go. The social proved to be most successful and enjoyable. Thelma M. Tyndall, Secretary. DRAMATIC CLUB A meeting of the Dramatic Club was held April 26.

CLUB SPANISH B R o C K T o N IA 89 MODERN LANGUAGE GERMAN CLUB At the short, but important meeting of the German club which was held in May, all members were urged to pay their dues. Plans were also made for the pic- ture Brocktonia and the club gift. Everyone is now eagerly antici- pating the last event of the year, a picnic. The club has accomplished much during the past year in the way of furthering interest in the Ger- man language. The varied pro- grams, consisting of games, songs, speeches, and a play in German, did a great deal to encourage fluency of speech. As a majority of the members are Juniors, the club should be just as successful next year as it has been during the past, a year which will always be remembered with pride and pleas- ure. Margaret C. Froeberg, Secretary. -1 SPANISH CLUB REPORT In the Spanish Club facts are still being taken up in regard to the Spanish speaking countries of South America.

Plans were made for a picnic which was held at the Ames es- tate, North Easton. Miss Hilda Todd is the faculty supervisor of this organization. Dominic Prevett, Secretary. FRENCH CLUB The French Club has held two more very enjoyable meetings since the last report. At the March meeting a panto- mime was given by John Chapman and Jack Baldwin. William Peter- son gave a fine piano program. Entertainment for the April meeting was provided by two plays. The first, La Sonnambulef' was presented by Victoria Julio, Betty Peabody, Madeline Snow, Louise Bonney, Margaret Shea, Ruth Peck, Shirley Sinclair and Barbara Willis. The comedy was very amusing and Well received. The second play was Le Medecin Malgre Lui. This was very well represented and was later on put on for the school in opening ex- ercises. The players were Julia Milutis, Ida Morrison, John Chap- man, Isadore Reece, Joseph Hen- dry, Edward Palmer, Elmer Har- mon and Arnold Olson. Plans are in full swing for the May meeting. There will be a vaudeville show in which each member will take part, including a dance by Margaret Perrier, a quartet, a mock doll shop and sev- eral other novelties. The June meeting will take the form of a picnic and will take place early in June. The Club has had a great year and each member has enjoyed it to the full. The work of the Club has been shown by the songs given before the Woman's Club and the play in opening exercises. The members are very grateful to our faculty adviser, Miss Carrie E. Hodge, to whom much of our suc- cess is due. Respectfully submitted, Louise Bonney, Secretary. ALPHA TAU DEBATING CLUB B R 0 C K T O N I A U1 ARGUMENTATION A CONGRESS The Brockton High School Congress has just terminated one of the most successful years in the history of the organization. During the past term, Congress had its recess dance, which was very well attended, and speaks well for the wonderful support of the school students. During these last two months, we also had the debate with Quincy. The Brockton Debating Team, composed of Harry Barvick, Joseph Kovner, and Vincent Eudaco, assisted by Ralph Os- borne, won over Quincy by the unanimous vote of the judges, tak- ing the affirmative of the question, Resolved, that the Child Labor amendment be added to the Fed- eral Constitutionf' The best speaker of the evening was adjudged to be Harry Barvick. The team showed a great amount of ability, which brought back credit on Congress, of which they are all members. Congress, besides giving its members a helpful instruction in Parliamentary Law, gives a boy ability to stand on his feet before an assembly and talk. This is perhaps one of the greatest assets a man can have, so if there are any boys who wish to join one of the most helpful clubs in the school, let him get ready to join Congress next fall. The club wishes to take this op- portunity to say au revoir to the graduating class, wishing them success in all their future under- takings. Respectfully submitted, Ralph E. Spear, Clerk. ALPHA TAU As the end of the year ap- proaches and as we look over our achievements, we feel proud of our success. At the meeting, April 2, Alice Ginden gave a very interesting account on the life of Joan of Arc. Bessie Feldman recited a poem of ber own composition, Enchant- ment An informal debate was held on the subject, Resolved: That girls are cleverer than boys. A successful candy sale was held on April 13. During Loyalty Week the fol- lowing girls recited during the Ethics periods upon various sub- jects pertaining to loyalty:- Doris Chace, Marjory Burns, Bes- sie Feldman, Alice Ginden, Alice Donnelly, Esther Rosenburg, An- nie Banavich and Eileen Curley. An informal debate on the sub- ject, Resolved: That winter is more beneficial than summer, was held. During the past two months Olive Leonard, Louise Zarella, Grace Brace, Florence Ray and Lena Doulette gave very good ac- counts on the lives of great women. Alice Donnelly, Rose Glasman, Annie Banavich, Esther Rosenburg and Bessie Feldman recited various selections. We are planning to have a pic- nic the first week of June. At our next meeting, the election of offi- cers will take place. June 10 we shall debate with Congress before the student body. Not too much credit can be giv- en to our faculty advisor, Mr. Leufgren, for helping us to suc- cess this year. Rebecca Glasman, Secretary. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CLUB BRocK'roN1A us MISCELLANEOUS THE SEWING CLUB The Sewing Club is now com- pleting its second year as an ac- tivity of the school. We think that the work of this activity has shown much improvement since its founding. This year we have had a definite schedule of Work which has aided greatly in the conducting of our meetings. Much work has been done for the Red Cross. The mem- bers also assisted in making cur- tains for the Senior Class play, and in cutting ribbons for the graduation diplomas. A success- ful cake sale and recess dance were conducted. The remainder of the year will be devoted to sew- ing on the individual projects of the girls. The members of this club have enjoyed their work and have tried hard to make the club a success. Respectfully submitted, Gertrude Lind, I Secretary. ELECTRICAL CLUB On April 21, the Electrical Club went to Boston where they visited Station W. E. E. I., managed by the Boston Edison Electric Illum- inating Co. Big Brother Emery and other officials gave the members one of the best times they have had this year. During the past six weeks many of the members have done excel- lent work in reporting on various topics. Members have given us the diagram and wiring of some automobile each week. The Club has had a very suc- cessful year and many of its mem- bers look forward to an equally successful one next year, Respectfully submitted, Alan W. Farnham, Secretary. AFTER DINNER SPEAKING Although getting a rather late start because of its large size, the After Dinner Speaking Club has been gaining momentum, until these last two months. The work has taken the form of different projects. One was a program in opening exercises presented by George Brooks, Joseph Henry, Vincent Eudaco, Arnold Olsson, Elmer Harmon and Roger Burrill. The same program was presented to the First Year Class in their Ethics period. Through the efforts of our last year's president, Shelton Doane, the club appeared before the mi- crophone of the WEEI Big Brother Club, and several mem- bers went on the air. Our boys are now looking for- ward to the annual banquet, with its post-prandial toasts and danc- ing. Speakers have not yet been chosen. All in all, under the leadership of President George Brooks and faculty adviser Mr. Howard R. Randall, the club has had one of the most successful years in its brief existence. Stuart Cox, Secretary. BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION The Business Administration Club held its regular meetings in Room 22 B every other Thursday. The Valentine party held in the Girls' Gymnasium and the Candy Sale were great successes. Short playlets were given as the business part of the meeting held April 29g The Girl Behind the Counter, written by Arlene Chessmang The Employment Agency, by Claire Dacierg The Traveling Salesman, by Hazel B R o C K T o N 1 A 95 AGRICULTURAL Ballard and The Telephone Call by Loraine Allaire. After the business part of the meetings was completed refresh- ments were served and guessing games were enjoyed. The election of next year's of- ficers will take place at the next meeting to be held May 10. The last meeting of the year will prob- ably be a Guest Party to be held in the Girls' Gymnasium. We wish the officers and mem- bers of the coming year, the great- est success. Respectfully submitted, Loraine Allaire, Secretary. THE AGRICULTURAL CLUB The activities of the Agricultu- ral Club are many and varied, and are not confined to the school year, the summer vacation being also a time of earnest effort. Year by year activities have increased, the past year, under President Walter W. Batson, Jr., being very suc- cessful. There are some sixty members. That all might iind the best place to work, and that the entire club might be more efficient, it has been divided into four sec- tions: Botany, Gardening, Can- ning and Forestry. Good progress has been made in all these- lines, many members working in more than one. During the summer, in addition to home activity in gardening and canning, members did much in the way of maintaining a large club garden. An extensive exhibit from this garden, as well as many indi- vidual displays at the Brockton Fair brought much commendation. In a letter to the club Governor Fuller wrote: The exhibits at the Brockton Fair were so very attrac- tive that they will linger in my memory a long time, as a model that others may well copy. The 1926 garden is already under way and bids fair to maintain the club's prestige. Reforestation has been con- tinued, 2,000 young pine trees be- ing secured for the land reserved by the City for the purpose. Meetings of the Club have been very enjoyable. Agricultural talks and discussions are always inter- esting. Club members, our facul- ty leader, outside speakers, and graduate members home from col- lege have all been heard with keen interest. There have been several delight- ful social gatherings. Miss Inez Williams, the vice-president, en- tertained the members at her summer home at Silver Beach. Wesley Faulk gave a lawn party at his home in the early fall, and we were much pleased that Head- Master and Mrs. Getchell could be with us at this time. Our Thanks- giving party was held in Supt. Scully's office. In the Easter va- cation Alwyn Snell entertained tlie members at the Walk-Over C ub. Several members had a happy time at Amherst, High School Day for M. A. C. May 1. ,At this time, Miss Burke received signal honor, the President and Trustees con- ferring upon her a special certifi- cate of merit. The members feel that they owe the success of the club to their leader, Miss Annie L. Burke, whose untiring efforts have made it a club of much note. They have been glad to help in her garden supervision by speaking in schools and helping in school gardens and as a special help presented her last fall, with a portable typewriter. Respectfully submitted, Alwyn G. Snell, Secretary. BROCKTONIA WALKBOVER SHOE ,zf it Wir 2- w Y Qvef 011 ear, oxfords, approval ne mosjt fuss fidious.

Brockton, Massachusetts Q' 'E BROCKTONIA 101 THE KN IGHT'S DEPARTURE No more do knights ride gaily out To joust for damsels fair. No more the holy quests call forth The brave to fight and dare. But in the days of chivalry, There lived a baron bold, His heart was. of the lions' breedg His blood, of heroes old. One night to him a summons came, As on his cot he lay. Then up he rose and snatched his arms, And straight he rode away. But also in this ancient land A lovely maiden dwelt. Her merry smile was e'er enough The sternest heart to melt. Her eyes were like the waters dark Of mountain-tarns at night. Her lips were as the cherries red, Her teeth, of pearly white. The ravens in their circling course Looked down from azure skies, And saw her flowing sable hair With envy in their eyes. In grace, she far surpassed the nymphs That dance in sylvan glades On carpets green of downy grass Amongst the flick'ring shades. Now many knights had for her fought And many men had died, But though her suitors many were, For only one she sighed. The knight it was who on the quest Was now about to go, So to her castle first he went And murmured sad and low, Farewell, sweet Elinore, fare- welll To distant climes I go: To far off Ind and Araby And e'en to lands of snow. The King of Kings, that noble lord, To me a vision sent: An angel fair in robes of white, O'er keen steel weapons bent. He rose, and in one hand he bore A shining shield of gold. The other held a gleaming brand That I did long to hold. 'Take this,' the angel said to me, As forth he held the shield, 'And this,' as to my hand he gave That sparkling blade to wield. 'The shield, good sir. is called Faith Against the darts of Hell, Thy soul and mind it will defend If thou but use it well. 'The flaming sword of Truth is sent To carve the casque of Wrong. Its mighty blows stout helmets break An they be e'er so strong. 'Take then these arms I give to thee And o'er the whole world ride Until .the hold of Wrong thou seize, And Right doth there abide! The heav'nly light began to fadeg The angel soared from view. I made a prayer and armor donned. My idle life was through. Thus spake the knight to Elinore With sorrow in his heart. O no, the gentle maiden sighed, Stay here and ne'er depart. Continued on page loo BROCKTONIA PYTHIAN TEMPLE Hair Dressing Parlor G. F.

PATRONIZE OUR ADVERTISERS BROCKTONIA SAV NG YEARS gf TIME you could begin a career on business on an equality of earn- ing with men and women ten years older than you, would that please you? There's a good deal of talk about beginning at the bottom and working l up, with all that it implies. But who wants to do it, if you can reasonably and fairly avoid ten years of apprenticeship? And yet, a few months' intensive training in a good school actually enables you to do that. When you realize what ten years means in one's busi- ness life-nearly, if not quite, one-third of the average man's working span- you are forced to place an immensely higher value on time, and view with greater satisfaction the saving of nine years of apprenticeship. Let others argue, debate and procrastinate. By taking action right now. just as thousands of young men and women have done before, you can finish a course of train- ing and go into business at a fine salary. That surely justi- Hes your decision. We are not given much to talking, but if you will inf vestigate our actions, you will find some intensely interest- ing facts that might influence your career in business.

You are all familiar with Thomas Edi- son's little aphorism, Success is 10 per cent inspiration, and 90 per cent perspiration. I think that this illustrates admirably the idea I am striving to convey. Have you ever outlined a course in reading or study and resolved to push it to a glorious finish, and then go on for a few weeks or days and gradually lose interest, until you abandoned it? What schemes and plans have fallen through because you have lost in- terest in them? Most people begin things that they fail to complete. You may have an excellent repu- tation for capability, together with a good opinion of yourself, and may be called everything that is good and great by those that know you, but if you begin things with zeal and fail to retain your inter- est to the end, you lack an impor- tant element of character. Any- thing that is started should be fin- ished. If you find yourself engaged in any undertaking that you most anxiously desire to abandon, pun- ish yourself by going through to the end. A good, sound punishing will prove wholesome, even if it does prove a waste of time. But nothing ever proves a waste of time to those who have the genius of adapting themselves to circum- stances. The taste for work is an acquired taste, but one which, once acquired, is seldom lost. Almost any other deficiency may be rem- edied in later life. A neglected education may be repaired, habits may be regulated to conform with a changed position, but habits of industry and effort, being hard to acquire at any age, are doubly so after our youth has been spent. One cannot escape the labors and anxieties of life. People think that, if you retire to your own little world or fortify yourself be- hind financial independence, you will be happy. Nothing is further from the truth. When you remove the real cares, petty anxieties rise up and assume monstrous propor- tions, until the person is worn out with a series of vexations that breed in an idle brain. The only persons who are really happy are those who are engrossed in their own occupations. They who plunge in and utilize every moment to ac- complish the big things regardless of the task, soon become so enam- oured with the strife that the keen zest of competition gives them a joyous outlook unknown to the sluggard, who seeks merely to pass the boring hours. And what pleas- ures do they find, who madly seek nothing but pleasure. They rush frantically about trying to kill the boredom that is slowly killing them. And there is a last thing which people over-estimate in grading the reasons for success. There is not the great difference in men's powers as is supposed. What is it that makes, of two good portraits, one a masterpiece and the other just a good picture? To me it seems just a matter of details. The artist who executed the master- piece spent hours in bringing out one feature here or there, that breathed the breath of life into his workg the other, probably being no less talented, overlooked these details, regarding them as trifles, not worth the long extra hours. In the long run, it is not the extra- ordinary brilliance or talent, but patience, close attention to details, accuracy and perseverance that make for ultimate success. And happily for most of us these are all powers that are in our grasp: they are not distributed by nature, Continued on page log BROCKTONIA KEEP SMILING ROZ-I -IZE Gives Double the Wear to Soles of Your Shoes Sold at All Stores MINTER 6' PERRY, Distributors, Brockton, Mass.

If I to duty were not true I could not be to thee. Then forth the knight rode on his way To glory, fame, and strife, But on a foreign fleld,he fell And there ebbed out his life. As flowers fade when life is done And wilting, blow away, So did the hapless maiden pine And weaker grew each day. The roses from her cheeks were goneg The twinkle from her eyes. Her snowy hand shook like a leaf As through the air it flies. To her the gentle angel came, Who ends all earthly care, And lifted her to Paradise To meet her lover there. Frank H. Grindle, '26.

Success among mortals is meas- ured by a far different standard from that in the animal kingdom. To the animal, to subsist is to suc- ceed, for life is one constant strug- gle against forces which are con- stantly striving to destroy it. The human race is somewhat free from this necessity. If you seek only ordinary success, the mere win- ning of bread and shelter, you need not trouble yourself about these uplifting forces. As this immunity exists, many people drift through life with superb indifference to their slumbering powers. But, in the final analysis, what achieve- ment is it to go from day to day merely feeding and clothing one- self? A machine that will merely run itself and produce nothing is a useless machine. If in the end we have done nothing more than provide for our daily wants, we have done little in the way of worth-while achievement. But, let us be numbered among those who seek more than mere suste- nanceg those who, blessed with no extraordinary powers save the keenness to observe, that success comes when the weeds have been driven out, and the finer faculties allowed to grow. They will reach the high places and, when their life-pictures have been completed, will be judged masterpieces of skillful craftsmen. BROCKTONIA C. H.

Leanard then opened and read the note given him by the maid. It read, Norman A. Earle will re- ceive his guests in the library at five this evening. The old boy is certainly keepin' us in suspense, isn't he ? queried Butler. It was with a sense of awe and nervousness that they entered the library that evening, but on being received as cordially as if they were old friends, this feeling van- ished and they made themselves at home. Mr. Earle then told his story. As you have probably already surmised, I have accumulated a considerable fortune. This is, I believe, the primary reason why I am hounded with menacing let- ters by day and frenzied with piercing shrieks and clanking chains by night. On two occa- sions I have been shot at by an un- known person While investigating these weird phenomena. As you also know, my heart is weak and I should not have anything to star- tle me. My only relative is a cousin who is in an insane asylum. She was hurt in an accident last year and is resting from a nervous shock. Money will mean nothing to me if you cannot put an end to all of this, so I have decided to pay you fifty dollars a day while you work on the case. Leanard then looked over some of the collection of ominous mis- sives and asked diverse questions. Apparently being satisfied he arose to retire to his room, Butler following his example. Then af- ter hearty handshakes, the pair again ascended the muffled stairs in silence. Butler immediately shed his outer garments and dove head first into the immense sea of mat- tressed feathers and was soon dead to the World in innocent slumber. Leanard, on the other hand, remained up inspecting the letters and puffing incessantly on his Manila. He heard ten o'clock strike away 05 in the still nightg but he continued puffing. He heard eleven o'clock break the nocturnal solitude. Just as he was dozing off to sleep, a splitting crack set the moonlit stillness into an inferno of rebounding echoes. With a violently contorted coun- tenance that was horrible to look at, Leanard sprang from his chair, threw a nearby book at Butler, opened the casement window, and vaulted the low railing to the ground, landing in the spongy sod. The courtyard to the left was bathed in the mellow light of a full moon. A figure, presumably of a man, lay face down, half way between the lion and the house. Leanard picked himself up and sprinted over to the figure and turned it over. There, his palid countenan-ce shattered by a bullet hole, lay N. A. Earle, stone dead. Good God, it's poor Earle, groaned Leanard, I guess I didn't act quickly enough. After making a hasty examina- tion of the surroundings ffoot- prints, the location of the body, etc.D he called Butler, who didn't know what had happened, he only having seen Leanard precipitate himself through the window case- ment. His face paled when he was told what had happened, and he ran to call the police. The line was dead signifying the wires had been cut. Something phoney go- ing on here all right, he growled. However. he hurried to the near- est neighbor fabout a half mile awayj and called from there. Leanard accurately concluded his ticklish investigations and re- turned to his room bearing with him a forty-five caliber, center fire, rifle bullet he had pried from the trunk of an oak tree.

Apparently being dis- gusted with them, he hopped into the bed to garner some sadly needed sleep. The next morning as he was about to descend the stairs he met the maid coming up. He stopped her and asked, Are you the only servant in the house ? Yes, sir, she answered, the others complained of hearing ter- rifying noises and left about a year ago. My room is in the top floor of the tower, facing the courtyard and I never hear them. I am awfully sorry for my poor master, Mr. Earle. That is all right for another time, said Hobart in his severest tone. What do you think of this ? Here he expiscated one of the menacing letters from his pocket and presented it to her. She took it and unfolded it. On the first glance she started nervously and little beads of sweat stood out up- on her brow. It must have been with profound relief to her that the door bell rang then, for she hastily handed back the written sheet and made a hurried exit. Leanard with the letter in his hand went into his room. Once there, he placed the letter on the table and sprinkled some black ink powder that he carried with him on its surface. Then he shook these pulverized grains back and forth until there, outlined in the texture, were the exact reproduc- tions of the maid's damp fingers. He then looked at the prints on one of the other letters that he had developed by a chemical. His face brqadened into a beaming smile as he quoted, Thereby hangs a tale. Ill Sk ll' It lk Ik ill The time was one week later and the place was Leanard's pri- vate ofiice. Leanard was tran- quilly puffing cigar smoke at the cobwebs on the ceiling when all of a sudden Bulter, who was reading the paper, bellowed, Len, will you listen to this ? Then he read, Famous detec- tive overthrows the police's claim of suicide in the Earle case. Ho- bart Leanard proves that death was not self-infiicted but insane cousin, Henrietta Roderick, pos- ing as maid shot him. Here with a chuckle he flung the story in a far corner and jumped upon poor, unsuspecting Leanard. I want an explanation, you old mummy! He laughed. Yes, yes, anything, but let me up, wheezed Leanard who was bearing Butler's two hundred pounds on his neck. He got up unappreciative of what Butler thought was a great joke and settled serenely in his chair again. He readjusted his necktie and began. Of course what the police thought was what I thought also, until it came to me that if a man wished to commit suicide he wouldn't be inclined to shoot himself in the face. What fooled the police was the fact that Earle had a revolver with one dis- charged chamber in it by his side. But they did not find the bullet? No, because the gun was not used that night. I was beside the body one minute after the report and the gun wasn't even warm. It had been freshly cleaned and bore not the least vestige of having been used. I found the bullet that passed through his head, and the gun that was used. The former I dug from the trunk of an oak and the latter I uncovered from be- tween the mattresses of the maid's bed.

I knew that the shot was fired from the maid's room when I found the rifle bullet. Employing a little geometry and suspecting the maid, I found that the sill of her window facing the courtyard was forty feet from the ground and the spot Where the bullet would have landed was sixty-eight and one-half feet from the Wall direct- ly underneath. Luckily I knew the formula for finding the parts of an equilateral triangle and dis- covered that the angle at which the bullet hit the ground fpre- sumablyj was thirty degrees, or I would never have been able to prove my supposition. The maid was in disguise, per- fect except in one detail, she had black eyelashes and eyebrows but golden hair, and the hair wasn't bleached, it was a wig. I snatched it off the day she confessed. But how did you know she was the cousin? asked Butler, seek- ing to trap him. And how could a woman shoot a riHe with such accuracy ? I didn't know at the time my- self, answered Leanard, but the young lady admitted her name and also her erstwhile address. I looked it up in the city directory to be sure, and then went visiting her former neighbors who, upon seeing my badge enlightened me somewhat. They claimed that prior to her mental incapacitation she was the best shot in the Rock Island Rifle Club for Women. Butler, feigning sickness and holding his head with his hands got up from his chair and hobbled over to his pet parking place, the Morris chair, saying, Oh, and I expect to be a sleuth like that some day, fat chance!

'A large reward for return of prop- ertyl' They think this robbery was committed by an organized gang of thieves. 'The persons found guilty of anything to do with this outrage will all get twen- ty years.' Whew! That's even worse! Larry went to his room to look over the deeds and notes which had been signed by a wealthy cus- tomer in Thornton, the town to which he had been that afternoon. As he placed the satchel on his table, he noticed that on the end nearest him, there was a spot as if dirt and oil had accumulated there. With a piece of paper he brushed this dirt away, and there, instead of- his own initials, was a monogram formed of the letters O. V. S. What could this mean! Hurriedly and with nervous fin- gers, he fumbled at the clasps of the satchel. Suddenly it flew open, disclosing a sparkling mass of dia- monds, unset rubies, with silver ware, and pieces of jewelry. Dazed, he grabbed the bag and raced down the stairs. Mother!!! Mother!! he shouted, Look!! When she saw what the bag con- tained, she stepped back startled. Son, where DID you get this ? she questioned. Why, mother, I know just as much about it as you do! I'm sure it's the same satchel I had when I left Plympton and I held it on my knees going over some of the policies. The only place I put it down was in the East Palmersville depot baggage room, and I'm sure I put it down on the floor near my feet,-but still, there is a possi- bility that it might have got mixed with another somehow. With these words, he dashed down the stairs to the telephone.

Is my brown satchel there ? Jerry recognized the voice at once: Yessir, all thet be left of it! A gang of thugs just went through the baggage room ran- sacking everything. Seems they was after a brown satchel. I heerd 'em say so. Yours had some papers in it, but thet warn't what they wanted. So they tied me up and left me in the corner until the night mail came and the brakeman untied me. I got the police down here but they couldn't trace nuthin' accurately. Still, they thought they was aftersome- thin' pretty big when I told 'em how they was all masked and rub- ber-soled and gloved up. Eh! what's thet? You say there was another brown satchel here this afternoon when you come in? Well, now as I look back, I think thet one come in on the same train you come in on. All right, said Larry, if you don't mind sending that bag up here I'll pay the charges. My ad- dress is 24 West 176th Street, New York City, - Lawrence Granger. O, K., Larry, replied the bag- gage master. I guess the police will get 'em. They are close on the trail. Hanging up the receiver, Larry dashed upstairs three at a time. As he ran into the room, his mother said, Larry, can you make out the initials on the back of this watch? He rushed over. Let's see. That's an O and that's a V and that's an S. Without further words, Larry sprang to his coat pocket, and took out the paper and read- 'At the home of Olga Van Sykes'. Why, this must be the loot taken from the home of Olga Van Sykes! Larry ran and got the leather satchel. There on one end was O. V. S. ! This SURELY was the plunder from the Van Sykes' home! What should he do? Should he take it to the police station? Would they believe his story? He remembered the statement in the paper that anybody found connected with the robbery would be given a twenty-year sentence. But should he keep it? No! he must take it to police headquarters. With this thought, he then told his mother of the plans. Oh, Larry, she said, I am so worried, I shan't rest until you return. Please don't worry, mother, I'll manage all right, and, with a parting kiss he hurried straight to headquarters. A few hasty words told the story graphically to the sergeant at the desk, who, in turn, tele- phoned the story to his superior oflicer. Send him down, was the command, and in a few min- utes Larry was standing before the head oHicer's desk. Well, son, better come clean, if you know anything more than you have told. Let's have it! Larry earnestly retold his story. Well, said the ofiicer, we can't pin anything on you, but just the same we'll have to keep you until your story is corroborated. A messenger boy came in with a telegram. He handed it to the officer at the desk, who said, Well, Van Sykes and his daugh- ter will soon be here to identify these valuables. With this, he wheeled to answer the telephone where he heard, Hello. this is Clancy, detective No. 5,061. We have the thieves cornered down here in a chop suey joint.

All right. O'Brien, take squad C down and clean this bunch out. The oflicer departed with the se- lected men and soon a powerful motor car was heard humming away into the night. An orderly stepped quietly in, announcing, Mr. Van Sykes and Miss Van Sykes, and a tall mid- dle-aged man followed with a charming young girl, tall and fair, with auburn hair. Van Sykes rushed over to the table, and with one glance exclaimed, All here! But how-Where did it come from? Surely the robbers did not bring it in! No, they did not, replied the oificer, whereupon he told the whole story, ending with the words, There's your stuff and there's the man who saved it for you. Oh, I am so glad it was you! How excited you must have been when you found you had this satchel, came from Van Sykes' daughter, who rushed forward clasping Larry by the hand. Our hero blushed and acknowl- edged that he had indeed been ex- cited! Mr. Van Sykes introduced himself and then his daughter, Miss Meredith. More than once Larry caught himself looking at her, and once he turned unexpect- edlv and found HER looking at HIM! He felt the flush creep up the sides of his face, and she smiled covly and turned away. Suddenly the door was thrown open and in came O'Brien with his souad and ten rough. disorderly, unkempt men, all most unpleasant to look at. Why, Sniggs, what are YOU doing here! shouted Mr. Van Sykes, to the man in his em- ployment as a chauffeur. Sniggs, your grandmother! smiled one of the detectives. That's 'Light-fingered Phil', one of the best inside workers we know, with a record in Sing Sing. We got the whole story out of this Chink, he said, as he pulled out from the handcuffed mass a cow- ering, shrinking Chinese. He ran a chow house in front of his place, while in the back room the robbers held their meetings. Well, said Van Sykes, all I can see to do is to put them where they belong, and the thieves, without further ceremony, were hustled into empty cells. Here is my check for SL000, which is the reward I promised for the return of the stolen goods, and Larry turned sudden- ly from chatting with Meredith to protest against this generosity, but Mr. Van Sykes insisted, so Larry stammered his thanks as best he could. Then the older man turned to go, and as he reached the door, he turned with a Well, gentlemen, 'All's Well that ends well! Oh, no, father, this is not the end-Wait a second! with these words, she whispered in Larrv's ear that they would be expecting to see him at dinner the next eve- ning.
