Shugg President Marion McGrath Vice-President Madeline Bryant Secretary John B. Metcalfe Treasurer NINETEEN TWENTY- THREE GLASS HISTORY We are aware, honored guests, that feelings of awe and deep respect fill your hearts as you gaze upon the glorious class of 1923. You are overwhelmed with reverence, when there is borne in upon you the realization that Brookline’s greatest architectural effort, this magnificent auditorium, was built in honor of our class. But I beg of you be at ease, although we are the brightest aggregation of intelligence to pass through Brookline High School, our outstanding virtue has ever been our modesty and it is not my intention to bore you with a flagrant, boasting account of our numerous, immeasurable achievements. Our triumphant entry in the fall of 1919 was the harbinger of a new era of progress and success for Brookline High School. The faculty discovered in us a Freshman class with intelligence and common sense; therefore, trusting that the other classes would respond as well as ours, Student Government was installed in B. H. S. We elected as officers our first year, Clyde Fore, Leita Briggs, Alfred Umlah and Dorothy Shea. With our customary modesty and retirement we conferred upon the upper classes the rights of seniority due to them. We kept ourselves in the background as much as possible, only showing our superiority in interclass football and girls’ interclass swimming. Then too, it was impossible for those rivals of Pavlowa, Grace DeViney and Anna Kelly, to do other than scintillate in the Senior Social. When, at the entreaties of our parents, we returned to school the following year, we nobly fulfilled our obligations in greeting the innocent class of 1924, and we stepped out a little more in school activities. Walter Denning was the star of the football team that year and several others showed their ability by making the Varsity squad. For dramatic talent they came to us, and Helen Rice, Harry Bell and Harold Linsky played in “The Fortune Hunter.” “Babe” Daley won a place in the State Track Meet; “Husky” Phillips, Charlie Young and Johnnie Harwood earned base- ball letters, and we made no end of racquets over the distinction won by “Bunny” Bryant and Leita Briggs on the Girl’s Tennis Team. Roger Shugg spoke the debaters to a championship, and Anna Sturgis, Mary Saunders and Frances Furber won the interclass debating contests, and so on in every activity we showed our un- deniable ability and we surprised everyone with our spirit and perseverence. The nominal leadership of the class was this year given to Edward Rihbanv, Marion M cGrath, William Potter and Anna Sturgis. Y ou know that writing this History was child’s play — it was so easy. A story to be interesting must begin with nothing and work up gradually to a climax. That is what our record does. It grows like a rolling snowball; you have heard the beginning, now listen to the tale of our last two years. 1 62 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y -THREE With the coming of the third year the class faced an embarrassing situation. From every direction came appeals for aid. Roger Shugg was chosen president, with Marion McGrath, Francis Daley and Helen Rice the other officers. We made an excellent entrance into the activities of this year with Herb Orth, “Husky” Phillips, “Bo” M acMillan, Walter Denning and Philip Terzis, football “B” men from our class. Morgan and Shugg spoke on the debating team ; Eddie Badaracco skated on the hockey team; “Babe” Daley nabbed a second place in the State Meet, while Purinton, Terzis, Metcalfe and MacMillan swam the swimming team to a championship. In the spring Umlah and Birnbaum were our representatives on the crew, while Badaracco and Phillips were the bright lights of a rather dismal baseball season. Frances Furber spoke for the girls’ debating team, and Roger Shugg, Ruth Richardson, Howland Smith, Edward Rihbany, Ellery Koch and Robert Morgan were on the Sagamore staff. The story of our senior year is a paean of praise of famous men — and women. A Herculean task was before us, to elevate B. H, S. to its rightful position among the schools of suburban Boston. We elected Roger Shugg and Marion McGrath chief executives, with John Metcalfe and “Bunny” Bryant the other officers. The athletic team of our senior year met with success far greater than any teams of recent years. Our football team, captained by Walter Denning, managed by Norman Waite, and with “Husky” Phillips, John Carson, Charles Moran, “Bo” McMillan, John Metcalfe, George Shapiro and Roger Hardy the other letter men, held Newton for the first time since 1916. The track team, Francis Daley, captain; Russell Levin, manager, and other seniors, Harry Hughes, Bill Heney, Bill Maher and William Bell again sent a relay to Penn State, after having defeated Newton in one of the two meets. The swimming team, managed by Bill McElroy, won the championship of New England through the efforts of Ralph Purinton, Ellery Koch, John Orth, Arnold Rosenberg, Wilbur McMillan and Donald Lynch. The hockey team, captained by Eddie Badaracco, and managed by Howland Smith with Walter Denning as puck-shooter, finished second in the league and defeated Newton. The rifle team captained by Eddie Rihbany, shooting for his fourth successive year, and with a capable assistant in Morgan, hit its target, the Rifle Championship. The baseball team, captained by Eddie Badaracco, and managed by Harold Linsky, with stars in Bernie Fleming, “Husky” Phillips, Johnny Harwood and Wilbur Mac- Millan performed consistently. A word about the Faculty and their attitude toward us would not be out of place here. During our stay in school we have so helped them, so awakened their admiration, that it is with regret that they watch us depart. They have done the best they can, however, to keep us here, and it was just a short time ago that they had a special meeting to discuss the ways and means of enjoying our company for another year. The old style Sagamore did not suit us, so with a motto of Pep, Persistence and Personality, Roger Shugg, Robert Morgan, Marion Higgs, Clyde Fore, Alfred 1 63 1 NINETEEN TWENTY- THREE Clifton and John Orth created a bi-weekly newspaper that made a distinct hit. We did not deem the simple graduation issue of the Sagamore worthy of our insti- tution so we printed a real Year Book. Having an unusually difficult play to produce, John Orth, Elkin Kaufman, Fred Taylor, Alfred Clifton, George Shapiro and Roger Hardy put over “Dulcy” with great success. Wishing to complete the list Sebastiano Braggiotti and Marjorie Hoeg captured the Prize Speaking honors for us. Roger Shugg, Frances Furber, Emily Johnson, Marion Higgs, Alfred Clifton, Howland Smith, Marjorie Hoeg, William McElroy, John Orth and Roger Hardy accomplished the ultimate ambition of everyone who enters B. H. S. by securing the prize of prizes, the Honorary Society key. Girls’ athletics were developed and Eouise McNamara was the first girl to whom the Athletic Council awarded a “B.” I close as I began, mentioning this new school of ours and this wonderful audi- torium. There is no more fitting and enduring tribute to us than this, a recognition of our worth, an acceptance of us as the creators of better things. Before our coming Brookline was known only as the richest town in the world, now she is universally acclaimed as the proud parent of the Class of 1923. Now we are together as a class, only once more will we meet thus, and on this class day, we the Class of 1923, look back upon our four years with mingled sorrow and joy, with sorrow when w-e think of the infants in whose charge we are leaving the school, but with joy when we recall wfith pride that we have advanced B. H. S. to a point of perfection never before attained. [ 64 ] DDORHECY Place: The Conference Table of the League of Nations at Lausanne. Time: The summer of 1953. John (rising) : The semi-annual meeting of the League of Nations will please come to order. Miss Hoeg, the secretary, will now read the minutes of the last meeting. Marjorie (rising and reading): “The fiftieth semi-annual meeting of the League of Nations was called to order by Chief Injustice John Orth, on the fifteenth day of January, 1953. The minutes of the previous meeting were read and correc- tions were called for. Portuguese Minister Rihbany said that it sounded too much like a parody on the ‘Sagamore.’ A red-headed clerk by the name of Smith here rose from his seat, declaring that those were fighting words where he came from, and Arnold Rosenberg, an Irish janitor, quickly and generously offered to hold Smith’s coat. The women delegates now got into action as Miss Louise McNamara, always first to get into a discussion, jumped to her feet, moving that the minutes be accepted as read. She was immediately squelched by a single glance from the eye of the ferocious Smith, and sank back, but the other women members, unable to bear seeing one of their own number not have the last word, quickly came to her aid. Dorothy Leahy, one of the Committee for the Protection of Undersized Siamese Twins, sprang to her feet, but as no one could see her, another of their number, Donald Came, took the floor, and in a distinctly Oxford twang, sang out a second for the motion. It was voted and passed. The reports of the committees were then called for. There were no reports to be made, and the Chair, thinking that business was getting slack, appointed the following committees: Cannon Ford, better known as ‘Gunsey,’ representing the Free State of Ireland, was appointed chairman of a commission of four to investgate the huge profits realized by the College Entrance Examination Board, while Misses Levy, Horack and Kaan were appointed as asso- ciates. Mrs. E. B. Bentley, well-known joint author of Bentley and Carlson’s His- tory of the United States, was appointed supervisor of an investigation into the con- [ 65 ] NINETEEN TWENTY- T H R E E ditions of Dartmouth Proms. Aliss Leahy will also serve on this committee. New business was then called for ; but by this time Eleanor Sheehan, Representative of the Far Last, was in the midst of a discussion with Hilda Wicken, a famous visiting composer, concerning the disadvantages of bobbed hair; both of them were against it. “Over in one corner Geo. C. Roger Shapiro was talking with Business Manager Morgan on the worthlessness of artificial jewelry. In another secluded corner, E. Flash Kauffman was being admired by some eight or ten girls, visitors from a high school in Brookline, who had no better sense. Some younger men in the lobby were discussing Denning’s wonderful football career and ‘Husky’ Phillips hitting his two hundredth homer this season in the Versailles Ball Field, with Fleming and Young on bases. The hum was so great that the meeting was called to order, and as there was no further business, it was moved by Chinese Ambassador Linsky and seconded by Gloria Kidder that the meeting be adjourned. 1 his was voted upon and passed, and the session closed. Respectfully submitted, Marjorie Hoeg, secretary. John: Are there any omissions or corrections? If not, the minutes stand ap- proved as read. Is there any old business? If not, we will proceed to the new business. I have here a demand from Shugg, radical leader of Soviet Russia, demanding admission to the League. Less noise, please, and a little order! (Rapping gavel on desk.) Lester Isaacs, will you please stop romping around the floor, and be quiet like Lynch! Shugg claims that if he is refused admittance and the women are allowed to remain in the League, he and his red shirts will suppress the court. The motion has been made and seconded that we lay this on the table. All in favor, keep quiet. Tis a vote. Sergeant Pons will please lower the windows. (Mopping brow with handker- chief, ) 1 have an announcement to make to the Court: Nine of our members competing in the Olympic games have gone away with honors. At the Paris Olympics, Canadian Representative Metcalfe and Monsieur Bimbo took first and second prizes, respec- tively ' , in the broad jump; Babe Daley and Bill Heney came in second and third in the twenty-five mile Marathon ; Harry Hughes dropped out at the end of twenty miles with a blister on his hand; Bill Maher was on the Swiss relay team; Fred Robinson was disqualified in the one-mile for cutting across the field; Ellery Koch won the high dive at the Antwerp Olympics. Wilbur MacMillan has fitted out an expedition to try to find a short route to the Philippines, via the Antarctic. We will now have the report of the Committee for the Investigation of World Affairs. Marjorie: Your Dishonor, ladies, gentlemen, and those in the balcony ' - — The Committee on the Investigation of World Affairsi consisting of Bunny Bry ' ant, Alary Arnold, Dorothy Gordon, Alarjorie Hoeg, and Kenneth Wing started from Lausanne intact, v e took a chance on Giles Rae, the other member of the committee, catch- ing up with us later. We first visited Genoa, Italy. Here w ' e were met by a delega- tion composed of Herbert Braggiotti, Prime Minister, Genevieve Muldownev, Pris- cilla Perkins, Agnes Donahue, and Rebecca Gallagher, all natives, — Miss Gallagher lovingly bearing aloft the Italian Bag. A large crowd of people follow ' ed us every- w here we went, lustily singing the national anthem in a rich brogue, and scattering confetti about us. An Italian theatre party was given in our honor, and we wit- nessed an entertainment, of which the only enjoyable features were a marvelous ex- hibition of the buck and wing by the celebrated French dancers, Allies Deviney and Kelley, and the spread we had afterwards. Early the following day, we embarked on the S. S. Hesperus. Some eight miles 1 66 1 NINETEEN T W E N T Y - THREE Those assisting her were Mary Manning, Gladys McLeod, Eleanor McCaffery and Rosamond Lovering. Entering Dublin, Ireland, during the process of a mass meeting, the one male of our party, Mr. Wing, was greeted with glee and pounced upon by the rioters, who mistook him for one of their long-lost Kings. The last we saw of Ken, he was being borne off in triumph but protesting on the shoulders of the mob, thus, un- gallantly leaving the ladies without his strong protection. Jack Stark, an old Brookline High School graduate, met us as we landed in M exico. He is in charge of an old women’s home for ex-members of the League of Nations and is the object of the affectionate trust of the inmates. Several of these came to meet us in a body, the most prominent among these being Hughena Jamie- son and her sister, Naomi, Louise Keene, Elizabeth Larkin, and Margaret Hyland. Lillian Mendelsohn, the President’s wife, entertained us royally in the President’s mansion. During our stay in San Francisco we met a large number of people from the movies, among whom were found Lillian Ginsburg, Evelyn Gutman, Doris Hodg- don, Dorothy Keegan and Dorothy Burwell. This group is supporting Doris Farn- ham as the Queen of Sheba in the play “All about Solomon,” and Emily Johnson as the vamp in “A Snaky Woman.” Malcolm Dresser has usurped the place for- merly held by Jack Holt, and plays all the exciting parts in the latter. At the Golden Gate we met with one of our fellow delegates, the Hon. Ambassador Badaracco, from Czecho-Slovakia. He had with him on the trip Janet Rock and Eleanor Eayer- weather. Estelle Petit’s beauty parlor is among the most flourishing of ’Frisco’s businesses. Crossing the Pacific, we stopped for coal at the Hawaiian Islands, and there encountered Captain O’Day of the S. S. Jeivett. In China we met a group of American Missionaries, some of whom it may be interesting to note were Pearl Rubin and Helen Mehegan. Catherine Goldric is the Emperor’s private secretary. Howland Smith is the American Consul to India, while two former residents of the United States, Kathleen Crowley and Mary Carlisle, are functioning as his secretaries with the special duty of the charge of the Sacred Cow. On our way back, we met Miss Richardson, who was going to teach the principles of gymnastics to the starving Turks. She stated that there was a broad field for this work. We returned to Lausanne by way of Venice where we arrived in the main street just in time to see a couple of Venetian guards dragging two teachers from the States, Natalie Linsky and Mary McElroy, from a canal where they had fallen while watching a Serenader. Elizabeth Meehan, a Venetian Girl-Scout leader, was administering first aid. After being visited by a delegation from “The Daughters of the Stayouts,” comprising Evelyn Lindahl, Nora Moroney, Margaret Murtagh and Olive Phillips, all of whom are well known in Venetian sewing circles, we departed for Lausanne just five months after having left it. We arrived here on the twelfth of June. This concludes our report. John: If there are no other reports, the motion to adjourn is in order. It has been moved and seconded to adjourn the meeting. All in favor, look this way. ’Tis a vote. (After a second) Miss Hoeg, are you going my way? Marjorie: Why, yes, I have some news from home for you, too. I heard that Betty Horn was married on the second of this month, and that Ethel Hillen and Dorothy Colby have gone to Cuba to visit Esther Dunlap, whose husband works with the United Fruit Company. And Ruth Taylor and Eleanor Bowker are run- ning against each other for the Office of Mayor of Brookline. 1 67 1 NINETEEN T W ENT Y -THREE out, while we were conversing with the eminent Captain Carson, we were startled bv hearing faint and agonized cries far behind us. Mary Arnold at once recognized them as coming from Giles Rae who was paddling desperately in a canoe in an effort to reach us. Before steps should be taken to rescue him, First Mate Purington, thinking it was one of his coveted whales, ordered a broadside to be fired. The jar of the broadside caused A1 Atwood, Oscar Finger, and John Maher, a bunch of landlubbers, to drop gently from the rigging above firmly upon the deck. In the midst of the confusion, Giles sank beneath the waves just as Dan McNamara took a flying dive over the railing in an effort to rescue him. Poor Dan was also left behind. Bellhop Barrows then announced dinner. Upon descending to the dining-room, w ith, as Bunny Bryant playfully remarked, our appetites well sharpened by the ex- citement just passed through, we recognized those serving us as Emily Christie and Lucy Allen, and the stewards as Plant, Perrin, Harkins, and Dave Wright. The rest of the voyage continued without mishap; and upon landing in Gibraltar we were met by delegates representing the Society of Indoor Games, including Alice Ball, Helen Haley, Marian Bowman, Mary Duggan and Ruth Bates, who immediately invited us to attend their lecture that evening on “The Value of Knowledge.” The speaker of note was Herb Orth, who was thoroughly acquainted with his subject. Some of the minor lecturers of the evening were Editha Hadcock, on “The Value of Concentration ; Mary Keily, an authority on worthy Hindoo literature; and M ary Ford on “The Worthlessness of the Male.” At this juncture, Kenneth Wing decided that the subject was too deep for him, and the delegation, by popular vote, left. Going home in our flivver, we ran across Marshall Schacht, “violinly” serenading Joy Veazey. We later learned that the unfortunate Marshall was shot in the streets of Warsaw for reciting his poetry there. The next day we embarked for Paris. Upon our arrival, we were conducted to M cElroy and Bell’s Greek restaurant, modelled after an obscure place in Brook- line, called “The Splendid.” Heart-rending music was furnished by Harry O’Brien and John McCullough, both members of the firm. Head waitress Grace Bradley attended to our order. The next day w T e fulfilled an appointment with a committee from the Society for the Prevention of the Use of Cosmetics in Paris. Clara Townsend, Charlotte Saxe, Ruth Brodie, Lillian Beale and Margaret Hennessy were all strong rooters for their cause in this commission. Theirs is a great and worthy w-ork. Our next stop was Berlin, where Norm Waite greeted us with a petition for the abolition of beer-gardens in Germany. After getting rid of him, w 7 e forged ahead to Warsaw. Just before our arrival, we recognized Addison Cowdes selling news- papers on the train ; while close on his heels came Levin, commonly known in Warsaw slum districts as “Starving Armenia.” Fred Taylor, in charge of A1 Clifton, passed through the train just before we reached the city. Fred has an hallucination that he is a wealthy bootblack. At the station we were met by Marion Higgs, representing Warsaw’s Fairest, and a committee of elderly women from the Soviet Harem. These proceeded to crowd around and admire Ken Wing, who naturally became much embarrassed. Those included w 7 ere Dorothy Unkles, Gladys Wickens, Dorothy Steverman and Eleanor Smith. Miss Alice Wilkins, representing the “Warsaw 7 Daily Clarion,” here endeavored to photograph the League delegation, but we scorned the publicity. The Czar has lately married into Turkish aristocracy, and he and his wife, formerly M iss Ann McElroy, greeted us. At London we received a hearty welcome, since the arrangements for our re- ception were in the hands of Marion McGrath, a graduate of Wellesley University. 1 68 1 NINETEEN T W E N T Y - THREE John: Is that so? Well 1 heard that Alice Davies has Miss Sawyer ' s job as Dean of girls at Brookline High, while Roger Hardy has taken over the Headmaster- ship. Clyde Fore knocked out Georges Carpentier for the French National Cham- pionship, and Mr. Novogroski, his Polish trainer, has signed him against Firpo, so Headly, his manager, said. Kendrick is pitching for the Pirates, and Bernhardt is teaching Math, at Miss Wheelock’s. Johnny Harwood is proprietor of a hotel in Reno, and Melbourne McCullough is his head bellhop. And that distinguished musician, A 1 Holmes, is making Brunswick Records. Marjorie: Which reminds me that Frances Furber has accepted the position of business manager of the “Spifty Stories Magazine. Gertrude Carney has founder; an institution for the prevention of cruelty to Seniors. Madeline Healy and Dorothy Hamilton are acting as nurses to those poor, abused, deluded individuals whom as- sistance has already reached. Robert Harris is the most violent case they have at present. John: All this is interesting, but the greatest honor that has yet come to 23 is that the slick- Adolph Phalemtimo has just announced that Helen Rice won the title of “Miss America. ' Marjorie: Leave it to Helen! Well, I’ll have to leave you here, as — (They have gradually worked their way toward the exit, and now go out.) 1 69 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y - T II R E E ORATION Classmates : On gazing upon you sitting in this hall, the sight is so impressive that it suggests to me various pictures ; it seems as if we were all assembled in a big, dingy station, each waiting for the train that is to take him on a far journey; a large family, as it were, parting after years of mutual assistance and friendship ; we have but a few minutes together, then . . . farewell and off we are. 1 wonder where we are all going ! If someone were to study our expressions as we are standing in this imaginary depot, he would discover bewilderment, a slight color- ing of doubt, a gleam of contentment, and other similar emotions. There would be bewilderment in some of us at the strangeness of the situation; for I too think it is a very strange fate to have to separate. Others, furthermore, would look doubtful because they are prepared neither in mind nor in will for the responsibility of steering their own life; perhaps the time that has been given to them has not been appreciated and poorly used. There are some who look content; it is that contentment which is born only from assiduous work. Thus we can give reasons for every emotion assailing the man who is about to go far alone. Another picture that comes to my mind is the last assemblage of a big, powerful team before the final fight of the season. It is breath- less with excitement, hardly realizing the importance of the event; every eye is glistening with fervent hope. The last words of their captain will encourage them and he will appeal to their spirit; the spirit of fair fight; the spirit of sturdy fight and the spirit of faith; faith in every team mate, faith in victory. So it is that faith is the essential emotion in a man’s heart that will give him courage, endurance and power to overcome obstacles; it is the supreme power. What is it that brings the explorer in a strange country, through dark wilderness, through cold regions where no man lives to his final 1 70 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y -THREE goal, undaunted? It is that everlasting flame of faith that burns in every great man’s heart which when stirred to its utmost heights will become sublime. We may look back into the pages of history and And this magic emotion of man committing masterful deeds. There is Socrates who was capable of sacrificing the greatest thing God gave us — Life — to teach mankind that faith is still greater than life itself. We may read on through the different centuries until we find Columbus sailing for days and days that infinite spread of ocean with a threatening crew at his side, with thousands of miles separating him from any friendly human being, alone in his belief, alone in his dream of discovering a new continent till finally his vision is realized. We then learn of Galileo suffering the torments of torture in a prison after making remarkable discoveries in science, but undaunted he maintained his firm belief and was able to survive his trials. Abraham Lincoln, a pure example of faith; burdened with re- sponsibilities and worries he was still able to hold the helm of his country and guide it safely through the storm. As long as there is life men will not be able to fight without faith. So, classmates, let us start out with that unconquerable belief — the belief in mankind’s goodness, the belief in our ambition, the belief in our ability to make good, the faith that thus we shall do credit to this school that has educated us. 1 71 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y - T H R E E IVY ORATION To us, the class of 1923, falls the honor of planting this Ivy beside our beautiful new building. We plant this Ivy with the faith that as it will protect these walls from the elements, so shall we extend and protect their reputation by our lives in this great world. We hope that this small vine, trained and supported by these walls, will excel all others in vigor and beauty. So must the class of “23 excel all other classes if we are to establish an ideal for which our successors may strive. Let us not forget this burden that falls upon us, but profit by it and let the thoughts of our years in this inspiring institution, be an inspiration to us all the rest of our days. John Metcalfe. [ 72 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y -THREE GLASS POEM To travel intimately as the wind Across the stars, or thru a desert garden Where the flower dust of other years Communes alone with God — to sail white clouds Along the sky in some far distant land, And homeless, deathless as the wind, to know But one blue vastness for the Sea and Sky— These are the dreams that Night and God inspire. But Day, in his first burst of sun and song, Before he quiets to his iron duties, Shouts the steady realness of the dream That Night and God inspired — “For God,” he cries, “May dream with Night, but here he lives with me. Go dreaming, sailing with the wind at Night; But live, and do your simple Best with me!” Marshall W. Schacht. 1 73 ] (staff 192 h.n 1 r.fi. Jfotclfi by JZobert f ntrik. Jikv vc by Jfvioia.

NINETEEN TWENTY- THREE CLASS OF 1924 The first official action of the class of ’24 was to elect its officers on Friday the 29th of September. Theresa Chisolm received the class pen, Rowen McCarn the class money bags, while Francis Small agreed to act as assistant to Kent Hough, the president. After much serious application to its studies the class decided that it was in need of social refreshment and so gave its first Junior Social. It came on Friday the 27th of October and so was dedicated to Hallowe’en. This was a very lucky proceedure as the affair was a great success. Some fifty dollars now brightened McCarn’s bank book and gave the whole class quite a satisfied appearance. Other equally successful socials followed this one and while the monetary proceeds were not as big, no one found cause for complaint as the Hall was well filled and the music good each time. We are too bash- ful to repeat the many flattering things that were said about the in- genuity and skill displayed in our decorations and refreshments and so we leave all that to others who after all can say it much better. Our last social is worthy of special comment. We had had such good fun with the others and had made so much money (over one hundred dollars) that we decided to invite the seniors as guests of honor to a grand and glorious finale. It was no ordinary social either. We presented a very clever little sketch written and pro- duced by our talented Vice President, Miss Small. In it were num- erous teachers, or rather impersonators of them, and the famous King Tut, himself. After this performance in the new auditorium we adjourned to Shailer Hall and danced to A1 Holmes’ five-piece orchestra till half-past five. Altogether our social season has been a very enviable success and well in keeping with the record of other classes if not better. We wouldn’t care to say that we are really better. That would be too conceited. Many thanks are due Mrs. Henderson, our faculty advisor, and Francis Small, who gave us such a good reputation for originality and who helped spend our money so judiciously. 1 78 ] NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE Athletics certainly were lucky to have such a talented class from which to draw. Three of next year’s captains are of this class: Capt. McCarn of football, Capt. Vachon of track, and Capt. Mallard of rifle. Most of the latter team is composed of Juniors. M. W. Keyes, T. Donovan, and H. Anthony are all great shots and contribute largely to the team’s success. And then there is Joe McCarthy, the famous record-breaking swimmer, also a Junior. Last season’s football could not have survived without the efforts of Quarterback Ed. Grennan, Ed. Shapiro, Tyler, Bob Mercer, Si Caplin and many other Juniors. This year’s crew boasts three Juniors in the first boat, Robert Mercer, James Wray and Tyler. Lack of space alone prevents further lauditory description of this wonderful class among whom the entire talent and honor of the school is justly divided. Kent Hough, President. I 79 ] NINETEEN T W E N T } - T II R E E GLASS OF 1925 it is certainly a privilege to write about the Sophomore class because its power is felt in almost every activity of note in the High School. With new duties facing us in the near future as Juniors, it is with due respect for the other classes that we sum up some of our past history for the benefit of those who may have forgotten. To us entering as Freshmen in ’21, the high school life seemed vastly different from our grammar school customs. Though we were rather inconspicuous as Freshmen, we certainly have made a decided improvement this year. Socially, our undertakings have been only a reception to the Freshmen, but our other accomplishments have been more varied. Summing up some of our athletic achievements of this second year, it is well worth noting that the girls in baseball, track and swimming are as well represented as the boys, who are the most num- erous in baseball, track, hockey, football, swimming and crew. In other school activities we also play a prominent part, the Sophomores being the champion debaters of the school and also fur- nishing two members of the interscholastic team. ou will find Sophomores active in Dramatics, in Prize Speaking, in the Glee Club, and very conspicuously on the Sagamore staff. The only reason for our not having accomplished more to date is the lack of time. In these two years we have made only a start. It is our intention to continue to set a high pace for the whole of Brookline High School. Robert Hall, President. [ 80 1 1 I N E T E E N T W E N T Y ■ T H R E E CLASS OF 1926 There were three prominent members of the Freshman class trying out for the Varsity Football Team. Two of the candidates, William Jerome, and John Burge succeeded in making the team. Again, the Freshman candidates for the Varsity Track Team were three in number, but only one, Murray, was successful. He competed in the high jump. There is great enthusiasm in the Freshman baseball candidates, among whom are many promising players for the Varsity Team. Out of two or three games they have won one, and hope to do better later in the season. Among the girls whose names we find in High School Athletics are the following members of 1926: Frances Wingate, Helen Mc- Ettrick, Helen Wingate, and Ruth Carl in the Swimming Team. In the Gym Team, Aintee Bourneuf, Phyllis Lowe, Helen McEttrick, and Helen Wingate starred. The Freshman girls were well repre- sented in the Basketball Team by Aimee Bourneuf, Julia Campbell, Alary Cowles, Helen AlcEttrick, Marjorie Mork, Virginia Rogers, Lillian Stone, and Bernedine Truden. The Freshmen were actively engaged in more than one interest in High School, for we find them members of the Teacher- Student Council and Court of Justice (John Burge and Richard Gentle). The class of 1926 will always remember the cordial greeting and warm feeling shown by the upper class men to them when they came from the various grammar schools to High School. John Burge, President. [ 81 ] CLASS DAY ASSEMBLY Top Row: W. McElroy, J. Orth. K. Hough. H Smith Middle Row: A. Clifton, M. Hoeg, F. Marshal. F. Furber, S. Blanchard, R. Hardy Front Row: M. Higgs, R.

Small NINETEEN T W E N T Y ■ THREE HONORARY SOCIETY The real purpose of Alpha Pi is to stimulate all-around achieve- ment, and, as its name signifies, Excellence and Leadership. Points are awarded for actual achievement and not mere worth or fitness, unexpressed at the time. Perhaps the requirement which prevents the largest number from winning membership is the ruling that no student who has received an E for the year in any subject is eligible. Starting the season with only two seniors the Honorary Society attained a normal membership by the admission of several seniors and juniors at mid-year’s. The constitution was changed recently so that Alpha Pi members must receive an A or B in a subject to be exempt from examinations. One cannot achieve a higher honor in Brookline High School than the Alpha Pi key. Founded in 1916 by Barton Leach, the So- ciety has always included the leaders in school life. The only disap- pointment today is that so few of the student body can qualify for membership. If you would win an unsurpassed and lasting honor, prove yourself worthy of the Alpha Pi key. [ 85 1 NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE TEACHER-STUDENT COUNCIL For the past few years Brookline High School has had student government, that is to say, the governing of the school and its func- tions by the pupils themselves, with the co-operation of the faculty. The Teacher-Student Council is, as its name implies, a council made up of students and faculty. This body meets on the second Tuesday of each month to discuss ways and means of bettering the school, and to make certain rules and regulations which may help the students. As the Council consists of representatives from all classes and the faculty, all measures approved by it are indirectly approved by the students themselves. This year the Council consists of : Chairman, Marion Mc- Grath; Vice-Chairman, Miss Pease; Secretary-Treasurer, Madeline Bryant; and Miss Spaulding, Miss Gambrill, Mr. Woodlock, Mr. Case, Mr. Carlson, Mr. Jewett, Theresa Chisolm, Kent Hough, Robert Hall, Roger Shugg, Eric Smith, Robert Gentle, John Burge.

T E E A ' TWENTY-THREE COURT OF JUSTICE We have in the Brookline High School a Student Government institution known as the Court of Justice. This institution is, under the Head-master, the highest authority of Brookline High School in passing judgment on the infringement of rules and regulations of the school. The Court has tried to make high standards of self respect and honor a part of every student of the school so that this also comes under their jurisdiction. The school is bound to abide by the rulings of this body because the pupils directly and indirectly, elect every member of the court. The members of the Court this year are Chief Justice, John Orth, elected from the school at large by popular vote; Roger Shugg, prosecuting attorney by virtue of his office as Captain of Marshals; Marion McGrath, Kent Hough, Robert Hall, and John Burge, class presidents; John Metcalfe, Frances Small, Edward Briggs, and Richard Gentle, who are the persons elected from the Marshals in their re- spective groups. Miss Liden, who for several years has been the faculty member of the Court, having no vote but much influence, has, by the vote of the Faculty, served in that capacity again this year. Needless to say, she has, as in other years, had the support of the members and has been successful in her undertaking. Through all the cases this year our ideal and standard has been not to inflict a punishment for something already done, but to give constructive criticism along with whatever penalty the court deemed necessary and proper. We have tried not to break down, but to build up. Our decrees have not been merely punishments for deeds passed but preventative measures to insure against a repetition. We have tried faithfully to build up good standards and to point out the foolishness of unwise ones. Co-operation and usefulness rather than dissatisfaction and friction have been the standard to which we have closely adhered. The members of the Court hope that as a body they have done their duty for the good of Brookline High School. John Orth, Chief Justice. [ 89 ] NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE MARSHALS The past year has been the first full term of service the Marshals have ex- perienced, and in addition has probably been the most difficult year they will ever face. The four months spent in the crowded confusion of the old building was sufficient trial for a stronger organization than the newly-born Marshals. Further- more, the inauguration of the new building with its scattering of a hitherto compact school and its reseating of rooms and its changed lunch system- made the Marshals adapt themselves to what in reality was a different High School. The Marshals have held their monthly meetings and performed their usual services. When individual inefficiency crept into the ranks, the Teacher Student Council took a hand at an effective remedy and gained success. What the Marshals have done can be adequately realized when one pictures the School going through the past year without Marshals. Roger Shugg, Captain. t 91 ] NINE T E E N T W E N T Y - T H R E E STAGE SETS FROM “DULCY” DRAMATICS The play chosen for the Twenty-fifth Annual Dramatics of the High School was “Dulcy,” a modern comedy by George S. Kaufman and Marc Connelly. With the example of so many years of good acting behind it, the annual play has to be a performance above the average school effort in nicety of detail and skill of execution. We may say that “Dulcy lived up to the reputation established in former years. As a result of the competition open to all classes of the school above the fresh- man class, the following cast was chosen: Henry William Parker (Bill) Gordon Smith Tom Sterrett Schuyler Van Dyck Mr. Forbes Mrs. Forbes Angela Forbes Vincent Leach Blair Patterson and DULCY ..Elkin Kaufman, Roger Hardy, ...Gordon Leach, John Orth, Fred Taylor, . . .George Shapiro, .Theresa Chisholm, Sarah Louise Price, ...Harry Rowley, . . . . Alfred Clifton, ....Frances Small, ’24 ’24 ’23 ’24 ’23 23 ’25 ’24 ’23 ’24 ] 93 [ NINETEEN T W E N T Y - T H R E E This year marked a transition both in coaching and staging. Owing to the death of Miss Kate Ryan, who for many years has directed our plays, it was necessary to choose a new coach and we were very fortunate in securing Mrs. Louise M. Benson. Since the time when Shailer Hall was declared inadequate for dramatic purposes because of the stringent fire laws, we have been obliged to present our productions in one place or another. This year, however, we were able to stage “Dulcy” in our own hall and with our own setting. One circumstance that is of particular interest in our hall is the switch board of professional proportions, making it possible to get excellent lighting effects as ably demonstrated by Donald Came, scenic director. We feel sure it will be the pleasure of future Dramatics to add to the equipment of the already unusually well planned stage that we may have all the material necessary for one of the finest theatres in secondary schools. Four years ago the proceeds from Dramatics were turned toward the establish- ment of a scholarship fund for boys. In this way, the play is serving a double purpose, for besides developing the dramatic instinct of the students, it is helping some worthy boys through their first year in college. At the present time as the result of 1923, the sum of $1068 is placed to the credit of the scholarship fund according to the report of the business manager, Norman Waite, ’23. Many of the members of the cast and executive staff are being graduated this year, and they hand down to the undergraduates of the school the tradition of good acting and a project in the development of stage craft. Howland C. Smith ’23, Stage Manager. 1 94 ] NINETEEN TWENTY - THREE ASTRONOMICAL SOCIETY The past season has been generally successful. The Society, which consists of twenty-one members, has held monthly meetings and has visited the Harvard Observatory four times where the su- perintendent, Mr. Boyd, has given the members access to the tele- scopes and other instruments. Mr. Packard and other members of the Club have given talks at intervals throughout the year. Several books, pamphlets, and magazines have been gathered to form a nucleus of the Society’s library. Most of these are now in the hands of the members. In spite of the delinquency in payment of dues on the part of some members, the treasurer now reports a satisfactory balance on hand. The officers are: Hermon Fisher ’24 ' President Helen Lucas ’24 Vice-President Frederick Taylor ’23 Secretary Clinton V. MacCoy ’24 Treasurer Frederick Taylor, Secretary. CHESS CLUB The Chess Club, the youngest of the school organizations, was formed in January. At that time Irving Plant was chosen president, and William Land, secretary. There are fourteen members. Besides the regular bi-weekly meetings, the club has engaged in tournaments with other schools. In the first two of these, with English High and Rindge, the outcome has been against Brookline. Plans are being made for an extensive program next year. W. G. Land, Secretary. [ 95 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y -THREE GIRLS’ LEAGUE It is said, and many times truthfully “the third time never fails.” It is our sincerest wish that this, being the third year of the League’s existence, has set it well on the road to permanent success. At the opening of school in September, the fifty or so Junior and Senior advisors commenced their task immediately of “steering” the Freshmen straight upon their entrance to B. H. S. To launch the year, a party of welcome, to which all classes were extended an invitation, was given to the numerous advisees in order that the “right at home” feeling might be enjoyed by them while in B. H. S., as well as by the upper classmen. The large number present foretold the inevitable result, and gave assurance that the purpose of the afternoon ' s activities was fulfilled. The Girls’ Glee Club proved to be very entertaining. By means of artistic advertising and notices, and by the selecting of models, the interest and curiosity of every girl was easily roused ; and Shailer Hall was actually filled at the Fashion Show given through the courtesy of William Filene Sons by Miss Walker. Girls of various types and complexions to serve as models were found in Kay Swett, Anna Driscoll, Janet Rock, Eleanor Sheehan, Dorothy Whelan, Priscilla Rowley, and Ethel Aronson. As our own contribution to the success of the afternoon, an impromptu sketch was staged, showing a girl of High School age in suitable clothing for the various occasions arising in the course of a day. This was followed by a tea prepared by the Domestic Science Club, and served to all the teachers, with Miss Walker as guest of honor. Although the day’s pro- ceedings were amusing and diverting, they proved to be of great benefit. At the request of Mr. Akers, six or seven girls were furnished to direct visi- tors around the building at the meeting of The Parent Teacher Association. In February, “Eliza Comes to Stay” was presented by the Girls’ Scout Troop 2, the members of which are for the most part students at B. H. S. Alice Davies and Greta Centerwall took the leading roles. The music for dancing was furnished by Hilda Wicken’s orchestra. As the boys were admitted, an admission of 35 cents u as charged, and a lunch was served at the counter at the close of school. The pro ceeds were devoted to a fund for pictures and statuary for the new building. This year, the League took over the selling of candy at dramatics; the booth was very prettily decorated in pastel shades, while the candy girls wit h their balloons were exceptionally attractive. The Executive Committee of 1922 and ’23 is as follows: Emily Johnson, presi- dent; Frances Small, vice-president; Leita Briggs, treasurer; Marta Braggiotti, sec- retary; Marion McGrath, chairman Committee on Advisors; Ruth Richardson, chairman Committee on Athletics; Madeline Bryant, chairman Committee on Hos- pitality; Betty Horn, chairman Committee on Calendar; Theresa Chisholm, chairman Committee Class Room Affairs. Sophomores and Juniors, “Carry On!” Emiily Johnson, President. I 97 ] Miss Hoeh, M. Higgs, E. Haven, F. Furber, Pres.; M. Barrie, F. Marshal NINETEEN TWENTY - THREE GIRLS’ DEBATING CLUB The Girls’ Debating Club is one of the oldest of the girls’ organ- izations in the school. Last year the Club had the honor of present- ing to the school the first shield won by the girls. This shield had been in competition for many years. Brookline formed one of a triangular league with Newton and Somerville. The winning of the shield, however, broke up this league, so this year Brookline has tried an entirely new venture. Melrose High School has accepted our challenge to debate on the following terms : the proposition, chosen by a neutral party, is announced at 8 o’clock of the morning of the debate. The debaters have the entire day in which to look up and prepare their material. The debate is held at 8 o’clock in the evening of the same day. The Club has held many debates throughout the year, the larger number of which were prepared on notice of only one or two days. The season closed with the interclass debate between the Juniors and Sophomores, the latter being victorious, and thus the champions of the school. In the de bates before the Club, we touch on any and all sub- jects from the League of Nations to Bobbed Hair. This latter ques- tion was discussed at a social meeting which was followed by dancing and refreshments. The biggest event of the Club year is the interscholastic debate, which this year took place on Friday evening, May 18th. In spite of our venture into an entirely new field we brought victory to Brook- line High School. Frances H. Furber ’23, President. [ 99 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y -THREE FRENCH CLUB “L’Atelier Frangais,” which has been renamed by the members, “Le Cercle Franqais de Brookline High School ' has just completed its third successful year in the high school. Every meeting during this term has gone far toward bringing each member into a closer intimacy with France as a nation, and the French language as a real language, not one to be learned merely for the purpose of passing examinations. It has been successfully attempted to acquaint each pupil with the literature, the art, the customs, and the history of France, by including in the programs read- ings, folk-songs, short sketches and plays, charades, and games. By having such programs, the club has attained a more informal tone which causes it to be more enjoyable and attractive to the members. It might be of interest to note here that the meetings have largely been attended by students in the freshman class, whose zeal in supporting the club should be highly commended. This club is essentially of, and for the pupils. Therefore it is up to the students themselves to decide whether the “Cercle” will progress and flourish. Since great interest has been shown all through this year by the student body, it may be hoped that this interest will be maintained and heightened in later years. A. G. Birnbaum ’23, President. [ 100 ] SPANISH CLUB The Spanish Club is the materialization of an ic’ea and a hope long held by the Spanish Department. It was established in 1922 to promote interest on the part of the students in Spanish-speaking countries and people, as well as to round out the class work and make the study mean more than a text-book or a means to graduation. An endeavor was made to secure, as far as possible, informal and enjoyable meetings which would feature Spanish conversation, short enough to hold their interest, and to give that “I’d-like-to-come-again” feeling. These meetings are held once a month with programs and illustrated lectures given by the members themselves or an outside speaker, usually followed by dancing and refreshments. First-year students are eligible after Midyears if they hold a rank of A, and all other students are eligible while holding a rank of B. Dues are nominal, being just enough to cover the cost of refreshments. Although necessarily comparatively small in membership, the enthusiastic spirit and quality of the club’s work during its first year has been recognized and given due credit by the Honorary Society. The officers elected to guide the club through its first year were Frances Marshal ’24, president; Howland Smith ’23, vice-president; Mario Braggiotti ’23, secretary-treasurer. The corresponding officers for the ensuing year are Frances Marshal ’24, Dorothy Spurr ’24, and Suzanne Ricker ’24. Frances C. Marshal ’24, President. [ 101 ] NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE BOYS’ MANDOLIN CLUB The Boys’ Mandolin Club has furnished music for about ten engagements during the past year — a goodly number for a school or- ganization of this type. Among the most important of these may be included the Senior Social, the Parent-Teachers’ Association, Brook- line Municipal League and the last Junior Social. Entertainment was also provided for the Franklin Square House at one of their recep- tions and music for an informal dance at Beacon Hall. The club is composed of twelve members, all of whom did their utmost in making the year a success. As the majority of the boys intend to return to school in the fall, there is every reason to believe that the Mandolin Club will continue throughout next year as an enterprising and helpful organization. Addison Cowles ’23, President. NINETEEN T W ENTY-T II REE GIRLS’ MANDOLIN CLUB The Club first gained its real start in 1921. That year it went a long way on the road to success. That year, also, it had one of the most successful acts in the Senior Social, and likewise played for the Dramatics. It played as well for many of the smaller activi- ties such as the various Interscholastic Debates. The year 1922 was more successful than the former year, if such a thing were possible. While not appearing at so many school affairs, the Club appeared constantly at the social gatherings of the Town. Its membership was constantly increasing and it became noted for its very evident spirit of co-operation. It was this year that the Club was granted the one-half point credit by the Honorary Society for membership in it, that it now has. This past year, 1923, we have been successful, not only in school but outside as well, thereby making our position assured. Each year, an improvement is noticed by people who hear us play, year after year; and we have added a saxophone to our number. Today the Club consists of eighteen mandolin players, a pianist, a violinist and a saxophonist. It is one of the most popular of school activities, and membership in it has become a thing to strive for. We have played this year for the Brookline Board of Trade, the Brookline Women’s Club, the Daughters of the American Revolu- tion, the reception to the governor’s wife and the various Parent- Teacher Association meetings. In school we have provided back- ground for several Junior Socials, the teachers’ party, the welcome to the Freshmen by the Girls’ League and the Fashion show. This club has worked and striven for the position it now holds, and very truly has earned its splendid success. Isabel McDonald, President. [ 105 ] NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club is one of the few clubs for girls in the school. This year the Club has had great success. We have sung at Prize Speaking and at the Parent-Teachers’ Association meeting here at school. As is the usual custom, on Christmas Eve we sang carols to the shut-ins and members of the school board; an event that has always been of great interest to every one. Besides our ordinary work, the Club has formed, through its talented members, a “Concert Troupe,” which includes a musical trio of violin, ’cello and piano; an operetta, “The College Girl and the Milkmaid,” and a short one-act skit entitled, “While Breakfast Waited.” With this troupe the Club has performed at The Old Sol- diers’ Home, the East Boston High School, and at the May Festival of the Brookline Baptist Church. In December, the Club obtained, for the first time, monogrammed pins, which were welcomed with great interest by all the members. Since most of the members are undergraduates, the Club looks forward to a greater success next year. In behalf of the Club, I wish to thank the school and the faculty for their splendid support throughout the year. Eleanor L. Bowker, President ’23.

Since its reorganization, the Band has grown rapidly under the expert leadership of Mr. Fulton. As in other years, it has ap- peared twice in public, before the student body and at Class Day. As the Band was established expressly for the betterment of each individual along musical lines, believing music to be a part of the education of a people, its leaders have recently appealed to the stu- dent body for their support for the coming year.

The following officers have ably headed the year’s activities: Dorothy Steve- man, president; Grace De Viney, vice-president, and William Lord, treasurer. Many of the meetings, which are held twice a month, have been devoted to visiting various Boston art galleries, such as Vose, Doll Richards, and the Guild of Boston Artists. The club has also helped in the decoration of the new building. A Hallowe’en entertainment was held in October and, as a fitting close to a successful year, an elaborate Chinese Festival took place on May 17, to which, as has been the custom, the faculty were invited.

[ H 3 j NINETEEN T W E N T Y - T H R E E THE SAGAMORE One of the achievements 1923 can boast is the successful establishment of a live newspaper in the new bi-weekly Sagamore. Starting out conservatively with a small three column sheet, the Class enlarged the publication to four columns, and printed special Football and Senior Social Numbers. When the 1924 Board assumed control in February, the Sagamore had adopted a definite style in make-up and news writing, trained a new Board, formed a compact and effective plan of organization, interested fifty students in the editorial competitions and twenty pupils in the business work, acquired a larger and willing staff of advertisers, and developed a paid circulation of more than seven hundred. Thus the Class of 1923 w ith the unfailing help of 1924 and the rest of the School has founded a publication whose real power and great possibilities will not be fully appreciated until some four additional years of develop ment have elapsed. Roger Shu go. Chairman. 1 115 ] NINETEEN T W ENTY- THREE PRIZE SPEAKING The prize speaking contest held each year in competition for the J. Murray Kay prize is an institution of many years. Mr. Snow is the chairman of the prize speaking committee which includes Miss Bliss, Miss J. Perkins, Miss J. Smith, Miss Hoeh and Mrs. Hender- son. This committee chooses the eight who are to participate in the contest from the many who try out for places on the program. Four girls and four boys are chosen and trained by members of the committee. Prizes are offered to b oth boys and girls and are pre- sented at the graduation exercises. The contestants for the prize this year were Nancy Powell ' 25, Martha Bird ’26, Marjorie Hoeg ’23, Audrey Franklin ’25, James Levensohn ’25, Herbert Braggiotti ’23, William Mehegan ’26, and John O’Sullivan ’25. The prizes were awarded to Marjorie Hoeg and Herbert Braggiotti. Marjorie Hoeg. L H6 ] V N E T E E N TWENTY-THREE ALUMNI COUNCIL The Brookline High School Alumni Council was organized in 1920, for the purpose of bringing the alumni more closely in touch with the High School undergraduates. In years past, the alumni body has read of the high school activities, has participated in some of them, perhaps, has seen their difficulties and their triumphs, but had had no means by which it could express its interest. This Council is a clear- ing-house establishing a tribunal where three factions — undergradu- ates, faculty and alumni — may bring their ideas and suggestions con- cerning the betterment of the High School. Each year a general election takes place and new members are chosen to fill the spaces made during the previous year. The per- sonnel consists of four members of the faculty, six alumni, those undergraduates who represent the various high school organizations, and any graduates who care to continue as members. Requests and suggestions that are submitted by either the under- graduate body, the alumni, or the faculty, receive serious discussion, and action is taken when advisable. Dorothy Webling, Secretary.

We then travelled to Haverhill, and were baffled by their clever overhead game, losing 27-0. The following Saturday we battled with Commerce and won 7-0. The first Sub- urban League game with Medford was an even struggle inasmuch as neither team scored. Malden, our next opponent, beat us 16-6, but were well aware that they were in a football game. We then travelled to Somerville and played another 0-0 game. In this game the team showed a marked improvement. Cambridge, our guest ' caught us napping, and beat us by one drop-kick. To Everett we pinned a glorious defeat of 3-0. The Saturday before they had beaten Malden, one of the double win- ners of the Suburban League. After a delay of half an hour, for the arrival of officials, Rindge caught us asleep in the first half and scored two touchdowns. We came back strong in the second half and scored one touchdown and would have scored another had the game been a few minutes longer. That memorable Thanksgiving morning, when we battled Newton, our greatest rival, to a standstill, will never be forgotten by those who took a part in it. Newton, a 10-8 favorite, was held to a scoreless tie, and missed getting beaten by inches. The seniors lost to the team are Capt. Denning, Metcalfe, Moran, Carson, Mc- Millan, Shapiro, Hardy, and Phillips. The past football season has been fairly successful and if next year’s team will only use the record of this year’s team as a stepping stone R rookline High School will have a championship team.

Thus far, how- ever, we have played nine games, winning but four, one of which was a league game. The team seems to be in a batting slump at present, but this could be overcome by a little harder work on the part of the players. Another drawback is the lack of interest on the part of the student body. If they would come to our games and show a little more enthusiasm, it would help greatly to make our team a success. It’s true many of them say, “What’s the good of going, they always seem to lose?” But that is just when we need them most. Their encouragement and support would turn the tide for the better. In the remaining eight games to be played we hope to show a marked improvement. This can be done by getting the support of each and every one. Edward I. Badaracco, Captain. I 123 ] NINETEEN T W E N T Y ■ THREE TRACK TEAM The track team of 1923, although it was not as successful as in past years, did good work when we take into consideration the fact that the team was comparatively new and inexperienced. Without doubt its greatest accomplishment was the defeat of our greatest rival, Newton High. To my mind this victory was especially notable because it was the first time for many years that any of Brookline’s teams have defeated the boys of the Garden City. The Relay Team, however, had a very successful season. This team won every dual meet race and also won against Medford and Newton in a special race at the American Legion meet last February. This team, however, had poor luck in the state meet, losing by one fifth second. Had all the members in the team been in good condi- tion we would no doubt have made a new record in this race, but we h ad to be content with second place. At Philadelphia this team had another touch of bad luck. The weather, together with nervousness gave us fourth place instead of first. Many future stars were discovered this year, and with another year of training they should ably uphold the traditions of Brookline. I would like to congratulate the boys who came out for the team. They have been loyal to the school, to the coach, and to me. They showed what they could do, and deserve great credit for their work. Francis Daley, Captain. NINETEEN TWENTY - THREE BOYS’ SWIMMING TEAM The team started off with a bang by defeating Huntington to the tune of 39 to 14. Rindge, Malden and English were then sunk by large scores. Defeats were received from Exeter, Andover, and Worcester Academies, but the boys representing these schools were almost all over the high school age limit. The team also defeated B. C. H. and Newton. Three members of the team, namely, “Jody” Meegan, Ralph Purington and Joe McCarty swam at the National Interscholastic meet in New York in March. Ail these boys qualified for the finals, Purington getting fifth in the 100-yard swim, Meegan winning fourth place in the dive against fifteen of the best schoolboy divers in the country, and McCarty getting second in a record-break- ing 100-yard back-stroke race. The final New England Interscholas- tic meet was a close one, the Red and Blue finally winning over the Orange and Black of Newton, our greatest rivals. The captain wishes to take this opportunity to express the thanks of the whole team to “Jim” McNamara, our coach, who by his effi- cient coaching and by his faithful and earnest direction has kept up the spirit of the boys at all times and has produced a championship team. The team also wishes to thank the students for their generous aid and hearty support during the past season. Prospects for next year are bright with 10 veterans coming back, and we hope that the 1924 team will carry on as the championship team of 1923 has done. Joseph McCarthy ’24, Captain 1 127 ] CREW Top Row: Manager Levine, J. McField, L Floyd, M. Taylor, H. Smith Middle Row: R. Mercer, H. Tyler, Coach Niccolls, A. Umlah, Capt. J. Wray Front Row. R. Johnston, A_ Birnbaum NINETEEN TWENTY- THREE CREW The week after the mid-year examinations the crew candidates were called out. Work on the machines was started the following week and, although there were originally about fifty candidates, Mr. Niccolls, knowing the ability of each man from the fall practice of 1922, immediately cut the squad down to about twenty-five mem- bers. In this way he could concentrate all his efforts on his first and second crews who are now bound right straight for the third leg on that long-disputed Keith Trophy. As soon as the ice at the Charles melted, the squad changed quarters to the St. Alphonsus boathouse, this being the second year that our crew has rowed from this boathouse. The Athletic Council took the next step in electing Harold Levine, Manager, and Waldo Keyes, Assistant Alanager. On April the 18th, the first and second crews, although they both got splendid starts, were defeated over the mile course by the Brown and Nichols crews. In a brilliant return to form our first crew defeated the Tabor Academy crews, May the 5th, over the half-mile course, rowed up- stream, in the fast time (considering the roughness of the water) of three minutes, twenty-five seconds. The tickets for the observation boats at the regatta will go on sale soon. Loren Taylor, last year’s manager, now at Stone School, will take charge of the observation boats and will see that every one is well provided for. Alfred E. Umlah ’23, Captain. [ 129 ] HOCKEY TEAM Driscoll J. O’Sullivan Coach Carrell H. Smith, Manager E. Shapiro B. Currier R. Hall E. Badaracco, Capt. A. Murray J. Conway W. Denning NINETEEN TWENTY-THREE HOCKEY TEAM The 1923 Hockey Team had a most successful season, consid- ering that there were only two letter men from last year’s team. How- ever, with coop eration and hard work a team was produced that was a credit to the school. There were fourteen games played, seven of which we won. Some of the opposing teams were: Harvard Fresh- men, Noble and Greenough, Harvard second team, M. I. T. Fresh- men, and Stoneham. These were not league games. Out of the seven Suburban League games we received only two defeats, finish- ing in second place in the league. I sincerely appreciate the honor bestowed upon me for being made captain, and I thank the team for their cooperation and good- will towards me in behalf of the team; I extend my appreciation for the support given us by the school. It is my earnest wish that next year’s team under the captaincy of A. Murray will meet with even greater success. My best wishes for the Brookline Hockey Team of 1924! Edward J. Badaracco, Captain. 1 1 31 ] NINETEEN T W ENT Y - THREE BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM When the call for tennis was sounded this year, we were pleased to find that the interest in tennis had greatly increased, with the re- sult that about 25 fellows reported. These included Cowles, Mallard, and Metcalfe from last year’s Team, reinforced by O’Sullivan, the Brookline Boys’ champion of last year. Morse, Rowley, Anthony, Sexton, Thrasher and Mullowney have also been showing considerable form. Up to the time of this writing we have played Malden High and Boston Commerce High, winning them both 5 to 0, Metcalfe, O’Sul- livan, and Morse winning the singles while Rawley and Anthony, Thrasher and Sexton proved to be winning doubles combinations in both matches. With these two victories to start with we are looking forward to a very successful season. John Metcalfe, Captain. [ 133 ] Top Row: E. Weierich, R. Kelsey. Miss McKinstry, Coach. M. Kendrick, M. Leatherbee Seated: D. Clark, M. Barrett, M. Centerwall, Capt., O. Gaertner NINETEEN TWENTY - THREE GIRLS’ JUNIOR BASKETBALL TEAM This year Basket-ball was again given a place in the Girls’ Ath- letics. The popularity, after an interval of a year, of the Athletic Council’s decision to include Basket-ball again among Girls’ Ath- letics may be judged from the fact that in two months 199 girls had reported as candidates for the various teams. In January the class teams were selected and from the twenty- five juniors trying out, a team was made up as follows: forwards, Doris Clark and Ottilie Gaertner; jumping center, Margareta Cen- terwall, captain; side-center, Mary Barrett; guards, Alargaret Ken- drick and Marjorie Leatherbee; substitutes, Edna eierick and Ros- alind Kelsey. A series of interclass games was arranged and in February the elimination contests began. In the preliminary games the juniors won three times; the seniors, twice; the sophomores, once. In the final tournament the juniors defeated both the seniors and the sopho- mores, thus becoming the school champions, with no games lost dur- ing the year. The last game, played against the sophomores under the one-line rule, was the most strenuous of the year. In the future years the hope is entertained that Basket-ball will become of enough importance to enable it to be called a “varsity” sport.

At the beginning of the school year the team elected Molly McEttrick, captain, and Ruth Aronson, manager. Immediately, faithful weekly practice began. It was with diffi- culty that Miss Kelley and Mr. McNamara selected the first team, owing to the large and enthusiastic number of girls in the try-outs. Those chosen were: R. Horsfall, M. McEttrick, H. McEttrick, H. W ingate, F. W ingate, J. Rock, B. Bock, M. Centerwall, E. Colby, F. Furber, E. Weierick, R. Carl, R. Kelsey. The team was victorious in the three meets which it entered. The first, at Cambridge, under the auspices of the N. E. W . S. A., Brookline won every event. In the next meet the High School girls entertained the other teams of the N. E. W . S. A. at the Municipal pool. Again the Brookline team showed remarkable skill by coming in first in every event. The last and most interesting meet was with the Boston School of Physical Education, Brookline winning by a score of 37 to 16. The girls ' swimming team is the only high school team, either boys or girls, that has been able to defeat all comers, either high schools, colleges, or schools of physical education. All but one of the New England championships have been won by members of the team; and members of the team hold the records of the N. E. W . S. A. in the forty yards, fifty yards, and one hundred yards, twenty-yard back- stroke and twenty- five-yard back-stroke, which are all the records taken with the exception of the plunge and 440 yards. Molly McEttrick, Captain. GIRLS’ GYM TEAM NINETEEN T W E N T Y - THREE GIRLS’ GYM TEAM The girls had an unusually line Gym Team this year. Pep, vitality, and good sportsmanship were prevalent. During this year we have had only one meet, that with the Cambridge-Haskell School, which we won by a score ol 1040 to 942. This was a very successful meet and was well supported by the girls of the school. While the judges were busy determining the score, the girls enjoyed dancing. The team was made up of eight sophomores, three seniors, two freshmen and one junior, captained by Molly McEttrick and man- aged by Greta Centerwall. This is the best girls’ gym team the school has ever had. We sincerely hope that the activities of the 1924 team will be more suc- cessful and varied than ours have been. Molly McEttrick, Cap tarn. 1 139 ] NINETEEN T W E N T 1 - T H K E E DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLUB Like many other school clubs, the first Domestic Science Club in B. H. S. was organized for the purpose of encouraging good fellow- ship among the members. In the Domestic Science Club we strive to create this feeling among all of our members. We have the advantage over other clubs in having back of us a department so wonderfully equipped for offering hospitality. We have the opportunity to be hostesses in more than name. Indeed so enjoyable have the meetings been that all the students in the De- partment work hard in order to win a C so that they, too, may be- come members of the club. At present we have thirty-five members. Our monthly meetings are held on the second Tuesday of the month. At the first meeting of the club the following officers were elected for 1923 : Esther Twiss, ’24, President; Marion Bowman, ’23, Vice-President; Anna McElroy, ’23, Treasurer; and Elizabeth Lar- kin, ’23, Secretary. After the business meeting is over there is al- ways some entertainment which has been planned by the executive committee. Refreshments are then served. Members of the club prepare the refreshments for every meeting. This year we arranged a special Valentine Party, two candy sales, and one special Lecture, besides our regular meetings. A trip to the Priscilla Proving Plant in Newton, which is managed by Mrs. [ 140 ] V 1 E 7 E E N T IV E V 71 -THREE MacDonald, formerly Miss Stone, and teacher in the Art Depart- ment in B. H. S., and so far our only honorary member. Now that the school year 1923 is closing we all feel that the first year of our club has been a very successful one. One reason is that we have had two of the best faculty advisors as our true and loyal supporters. Miss Smith and Miss Jones have shown undying inter- est in our club and have done everything in their power to make the club a success. Every member has a club pin which is an owl, with the letters D. S. C. ’23 written at the bottom of the owl’s feet. The colors are gold and blue. Although Brookline High School’s Domestic Science Club was not started until 1923, we are sure that it will not end until Brook- line High itself does. Esther J. Twiss, ’24, President. GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM The Girls ' Tennis Team was first organized in 1917 with Helen Sherman as captain, and Kathleen Walsh as manager. Since then it has each year been an important activity. Last fall a preliminary tournament was held, managed by Alice Atkins, which left six girls who competed with the 1921-22 team. The girls who won comprised the 1923 team. 1 he team played a match with Sargent’s School of Physical Educa- tion, and lost; also a game with Newton in which the opposing team won the singles and our team, the doubles.
