Being a part of this generation we have no back- bone, no initiative, and we don’t want to work — so say the essayists and editorial writers. However, you are our parents or relatives and you either have a different opinion, or will soon have one, about us. The inciting moment for this history is found in our birth. You know that wc were prodigies and when we first said “Papa-papa” or “Mama-mama” as the case might have been, you were so sure of this that you freely circulated the fact. Then, as we grew up and it became time for us to enter High School, this fact became a conviction. You expected great things of us; so, in order not to disappoint you, and also to prove the essayists wrong, we decided upon a safe and sure attack. We attended to our “schooling” and convinced the teachers once and for all that we were a quiet, studious, and well behaved class. It certainly was a good thing for some of us that we did this the first year! Of course the foundation couldn’t be all of one material, therefore in order to make a good substantial one on which to rear the edifice of our later years Hayden Tyler added a little football, “Fred” Whittemore did some of the shout- ing that forcasted the great Junior team in ’23, and “Joe” McCarthy showed our abilities in the pool by being high point man of the swimming team — a feat that he has duplicated every year since. Loren Taylor also helped out by giving us a start in Dramatics and Debating. During this year we entrusted the class government to Gordon Leach, Frances Small, Harold Whitemore, and Ethel Aronson. The next year we started our social activities in fine fashion. Our Sopho- more-Freshman Reception was above the ordinary standard and it established a precedent of a good time for everyone which we have lived up to in all our other socials. This year Theresa Chisholm and Gordon Leach won the Prize Speaking honors for the class. Frances Small and Loren Taylor took part in Dramatics, while Kent Hough, Loren Taylor and Bob Morgan completed our endeavors in the oratorical line by helping win the debate with Middlesex. “Bud” McCarn broke into athletics, Hayden Tyler won his letter in football, and “Joe” McCarthy continued his swimming triumphs. Courtney Bird and Rob- ert Simonds also performed for our class in this sport, while Tyler and “Bob” Mercer rowed on the crew managed by Loren Taylor. In the Senior Social of that year Theresa Chisholm helped along with a little song. The following year we became Juniors — cordially disliked by the Seniors, who thought we were perfectly hopeless — just as all Senior Classes have thought since the institution of High Schools. We started the year by electing Kent Hough, Frances Small, “Bud” McCarn, and Theresa Chisholm our officers. The next thing was to prove that the Seniors were wrong in thinking us hopeless. “Bud” McCarn started off by being the best 62 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR half-back in the Suburban League, and Hayden Tyler, “Bob” Mercer, “Ed” Shapiro, “Fat” Carson and “Eddie” Grennan were the other members of our class on the team which held Newton to a scoreless tie. Then we demonstrated our powers in Hockey with “Johnny” O’Sullivan and “Ed Shapiro letter men. During this time swimming was going on with “Joe” McCarthy as captain and “Fat” Simonds holding down the plunging end. Then came track, where Louis Vachon and “Bud” McCarn won more honors for their school and class. The crew contained three of our boys — “Bob” Mercer, “Jimmy” Wray, and Hayden Tyler, while “Johnny” Mahoney, and “Reggy” Reynolds helped the baseball nine. This does not complete our athletic attainments in our Junior year, although it is a goodly list. The Rifle Team, composed with only one exception, of Juniors, won the biggest match in New England. The letter men were Mallard, Keyes, Morgan, Anthony, and Donovan. Then the Tennis Team started up with O’Sulli- van, Thrasher, Rowley, and Anthony representing the Junior Class. In the other lines of activity we had Earl Thrasher, and of course Frances Small, who wrote the winning act, to represent us in the Senior Social. We were also well represented in Dramatics with Frances Small and Gordon Leach taking the leads and Harry Rowley doing a difficult part. The boys couldn’t find anyone willing to test their mettle in an interscholastic debate so it was left to the girls to win theirs. In this they were helped by Frances Marshal of our class. During the entire year we held the regular Junior Socials, which were so popular that at the end of the year “Bud” felt rich enough to pay the bills in- curred in giving a special social to which the Seniors were invited as guests. The Social went over the top — and what is more — “Bud” had some money to carry with him into the Senior Year. In Girls’ Athletics we were well supported by Esther Hennessey, Teresa Folin, Margareta Centervall and Ruth Richardson on the Gym Team; while Edna Weierick, Rosalind Kelsey, Margaret Kendrick, Marjorie Leatherbee, Doris Clark, Mary Barrett and Ottilie Gaertner formed the Champion Junior Basketball Team. The girls’ swimming team, which defeated all comers, had able members in Rosalind Kelsey, Greta Centervall and Edna Weierick of our class. The Sagamore flourished with such literary lights and “Ace” Anthony, Ruth Thomas, Mercedes Baker and Frances Marshal. Shirley Blanchard, Ruth Thomas, “Bee” Dalton, and Helen Lucas warbled in the Girls’ Glee Club, while the other musical members, Doris Clark, Bernice Freedman, Claire Dooley, Pauline Carl, Barbara Allen and Isabel McDonald joined the Mandolin Club. The greatest honor of all, the Alpha Pi Key, was given to Kent Hough, Frances Marshal, Shirley Blanchard, Ruth Thomas and Frances Small. At the beginning of this momentous year we reelected the same officers that we had chosen in our Junior year. If I were to attempt anything more than to scratch the surface of our activities during the past year I should ruin your patience and my vocal cords. 63 Again our social season was a success. Both the Senior Social and Senior Dance were admittedly the best in years. Our dance committee decked out old Shailer Hall in the best raiment it has ever had. In Dramatics we put on a play of unusual difficulty, with Susanne Ricker and Torsten Centervall taking the leads, and “Ace” Anthony, Rosalind Kelsey, and Charles White doing their share. On the stage end Waldo Keyes, Jimmy Billings, Joe Feldman, and James Donovan had an unusually difficult job to do and put it over splendidly. Our debaters again appear, and Loren Taylor, Robert Morgan, Kent Hough and James Donovan split a debate with Middlesex, while Frances Marshal and Florence Conneely helped the girls towards their supremacy over Melrose. With Frances Marshal, Ruth Thomas, “Ace” Anthony and Kent Hough on the Board ; Clair Dooley, Dorothy Spurr, Shirley Blanchard, and James Donovan on the staff ; and “Wally” Keyes, “Larry” Sleeper, “Bill” McCoy and Frances Tate taking care of the advertising end of the “Sag,” we outdid our famous teacher — Roger Shugg — and put a better “Sag” than has ever come from the press before. Any attempt to tell about the athletics of our Senior year would require a whole book, so I will do little more than mention them. The Swimming team, with “Joe” McCarthy as Captain for the second year, and Simonds helping out, won the championship again. Football had “Bud” McCarn as Captain and Gordan Leach as Manager with Kaplan, Mercer and Tyler letter men. McCarn and Tyler performed in track, the latter being high point man. The crew, with Captain “Bob” Mercer, Goldfine, Fleisber, and Rabinowitz, the Seniors on it, did well considering the poor condition of the shells they rowed in. “Johnny” O’Sullivan, and “Bud” McCarn did their share in Hockey with “Johnny” Mahoney and “Riggy” Reynolds swatting the ball on a team which, as yet, has no manager. So far I have not mentioned any girl athletes who are many and famous with a record beginning in our Freshman year. At that time Greta Centervall, our greatest all-round athlete, made the Swimming, Basketball, and Gym teams being assisted in rounding up honors on the latter team by Margaret Kendrick. These two girls repeated their record the next year, and in their Junior term the Basketball team, captained by Greta Centervall, and with Doris Clark, Mary Barret, Marjorie Leatherbee, Teresa Folin, and Rosalind Kelsey, the other mem- bers, won the school championship. The Girls’ Swimming team during our past Senior year was helped to the Championship by Greta Centervall and Isabel McDonald. At the same time Greta was Captain of Field Hockey with Teresa Folin helping out. Doris Clark, Rosa- lind Kelsey, Bernice Freedman, Marjorie Leatherbee, and Mary Barrett all help- ing bring home the bacon for the class. The names of Claire Dooley, Susanne Ricker, Robert Mercer, Earl Thrasher, Joseph Feldman, “Ace” Anthony, Benjamin Mandelstam, and James Donovan were added to the shining list of Alpha Pi members. Thus the class of ’24 has fifteen members in the Society — the largest number from any class, which in- dicates clearly our superiority ! Remembering that I have rather more detracted than added to the accom- plishments of the class, we have certainly proved that the Seniors and the essayists were wrong. Now, classmates, it is indeed a brief history that I have given, but it shows your beginning in a struggle where you will make your own history during the next few years. May you all do as well as you have done here! 64 PROPHECY TIME: 1934 PLACE : B. H. S. Auditorium (Also Station WNAC, The Shepard Stores, Boston) CHARACTERS FRANCES SMALL, Mathematics Instructor, B. H. S. JOHN O’SULLIVAN, Broadcaster Station WNAC. ( Frances , hair tightly back, and wearing glasses, conies on stage from right and addresses class and audience.) Frances: Ladies and Gentlemen: Because of the unusual nature of this assembly Mr. Akers thought that he was unable to handle the situation and asked me to take charge of it for him. I have a rare treat in store for you. This is the tenth anniversary of the graduation from this school of the Class of 1924, which all the teachers remember as being one of the most extraordinary classes that has ever passed through the portals of this building. I believe our amplifier will be loud enough to enable you to hear the local stations. I will repeat the broadcasts from the distant stations as I receive them. (Scats herself at table on which is a radio set.) John: Station WNAC, Shepard Stores, Boston and Providence. For this occasion, given in honor of the Class of 1924 of B. H. S. we have endeavored to obtain and announce to you the achievements and ac- tivities of each member of that class. A. G. Birnbaum, coxswain of American Crew, together with such power- ful men as Robert Taylor, Charles White, Russell Mallard, and Gardner Livingston, won by six lengths over its much weaker Swedish Crew made up of Hayden Tyler, Robert Mercer, John Carson, John Egan, and Max Rabinowitz, Coxswain. 65 NINE ' !

Frances Marshal ' s publishers, Eleanor Young and Mae Goldman, are advertising her new novel entitled “The Art of Making a Year Book.” Special Announcement: Tomorrow night Professor Erville Buxton and Professor Plenry Kearns, noted scientists and historians, will speak on their interesting tour through Mars. We will also have with us the eminent Joseph McCarthy, author of the latest book on “Why I Never Could Swim.” Monsieur Harry Rowley, de Paris, still advocates the shingle bob for men, while Isabel McDonald has formed a “Society for the Prevention of Hair Bobbing.” Debate for Local Station, question is: “Are the Irish Progressive?” Sydney Goldfine and Irving Novogroski, affirmative, and Daniel O’Connor and Patrick Riley, negative. Frances: Catherine Crowell and Rosamond Fleisher are returning from the Canary Islands, where they have been examining Dorothy Noyce’s collec- tion of canaries with Helen Keiley’s patent magnifying glasses. At a “Strawberry Festival,” given under the supervision of Florence Strickland and Helen Goldrick were the Misses Caroline Healy, Helen Conaty, Beatrice Dalton, Gladys Ford, Anna Wiles, and Rosalind Kelsey, guarded as usual. Katherine Campbell donated a crate of her famous soup to the affair and Elizabeth Baker sent some of her chocolate bars. How familiar this voice is, it’s Ace Anthony broadcasting from South Africa, to Mrs. Ace Anthony. What is it lie’s saying? “Just killed another lion, dear.” New York program for tonight : Speakers of the evening, Earl B. Thrasher, Editor of the “Hungarian Digest” ; Paul Sexton, President of the French Club of Boston, and James Magenis, Learned Professor of Physics at Dartmouth. Jockey Alice Welty rode a winning steed in the annual spring races at Revere Beach. Marjorie Leatherbee is the proud owner of the horse, Plugspark. Speaking of Revere Beach, that reminds me that Margaret Smith is running a pop-corn stand there. Cornelius Keiley, famous song-writer, will now sing his latest song en- titled, “Oh What a Sheik I am !” John : Tomorrow is Boston Day at Fenway Park. John Reynolds and Ralph Lockwood, stars of the Red Sox Team will be honored. Graham J.

Two young men, smart looking and of congenial appearance, wandering about Boston Common, looking for excitement. Both have large smiles, and seem to be a pair of unconquerable humorists. The young appear- ing fugitives were found by Patrolman Herman Fisher and private detective Frank Idell, who brought them before Judge James Brennan. The two an- swered to the names of Rowan McCarn and Loren Taylor. Any person ready to identify these two will be heartily welcome at Police Station No. io. Announcement of a new book! The Misses Marjorie Strain, Velma Stonehouse, and Marion Steverman are writing a History of the United States.’’ A unique feature of the book is the outlined collateral reading. This is a time saving device suggested by F.leanor Brutcher. The book may be obtained at any book store and will be of great value to High School Students. Announcement of the program at the Capitol Theatre for this week. Six vaudeville acts. I. James L. Single, artiste superbe. II. Ralph Stonemetz, banjo. III. John McCullough, saxophone. IV.

University, speaking on “There’s no Place like High School, ’ also Camille Roy on “My Train Travels.” We are sorry to inform you that the two other speakers, Edwin Thomp- son and James Rae, Debaters of the evening, cannot appear because of lack of funds for carfare. Frances : Theresa Chisholm received an engagement to play in a new comedy so she had to store her furniture for the winter. Upon ’phoning Dunham and Company, furniture movers, she was delighted, but not surprised, to learn that Susanne Ricker is the one and only private secretary for the firm. Sara Bruce has grown prosperous by taking dictation from class prophe- cies, while Ethel Stromberg has made a small fortune as a buyer for Filene’s. 67 NINETEEN T W ENTY-FOUR Jordan Marsh, jealous of Filene’s success in securing a member of the famous class of 1924, tried their best to get Mildred Moskowitch to do all their buy- ing. But Mildred refused, and Margaret Keane took the job on condition that she be allowed three days off each week in addition to Saturdays and Sundays. Katherine McKinnon is in China explaining her philosophy of life to the natives. Thanks to Shirley Blanchard’s marvelous aeroplane, babies need no longer cry for the moon. Their mothers may take them up to visit it any day for ten cents. Helen O’Connor, Shirley’s secretary, is taking precautions lest the Boston Elevated get control of the air line. Mariam Lowenstein and Catherine Mahan applied for positions, but the Company feels that women change their minds too often to be good pilots, so Clinton McCoy and Lawrence Sleeper will fill these important positions. John : Just as Mr. Packard prophesied, the Class of ’24 has performed miracles in the world of science. William Evans’ tunnel through the earth was officially opened yesterday ; Isabella Martin broke a bottle of ginger ale at the entrance in Boston, while Ruth Richardson did the same at the other end in Hong Kong, China. Frances: (picking up a newspaper to look for radio program and reading aloud) “William Hogan and Maurice Huerstel ‘Find ’em or lose ’em’ Detective Agency’.” Cheap lessons in taxi driving from Frederick Whittemore, ex-Graduate of the famous school of B. H. S. “ — O, that isn’t what I ' m looking for. Well, well, look at this ! Helen Lucas, who has spent the winter on Mars, is home for the week-end. She reports that Helen Hamilton and Ernestine Marshall won prizes in a recent Beauty Contest, and that Frances Hinckley, Dot Sawyer and Anna McEttrick all have prominent parts in a Musical Comedy written by Pamellia Allen and Alice Wright.” (turns page) Here’s some more about Brookline Graduates! “Torsten Centervall has captured an Island in the South Seas, and discovered treasure hidden there by Esther Bergstein and Henrietta Halloran, former natives of the Island.” (tunes in on radio) Here’s some thing — James Donovan is speaking on the art of ex- traordinary and simplified use of the dictionary ; while Soloman Thurman is discussing, “How I became the Success that I Am.” John: Noted men who have just arrived from inspection of Russia will be royallv received in New York today. Among these were stuart Patterson, Ambassador to Bulgaria ; Gordon Leach, Vice President of the Women’s Aid League ; Edward Cowen, Editor of the Police Gazette ; Robert Simons, late publisher of the popular book on “A Sure Way of Getting Thin.” Announcement of the new appointments made by President Benjamin K. Hough of the United States — “James Billings, Ambassador to Spain; Russell Monroe, Secretary of State; Arnold Fleisher, Secretary of Treasury; 68 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Joseph Kinsman, Secretary of Interior; Vincent Montgomery, Secretary of War.” Teresa Folin has been very successful in teaching Parisians to speak French, while Dorothy Walker and Dorothy Ware have had almost equal success in writing a new Spanish Grammar. Miss Henrietta Shapiro, who bought the Larz Anderson estate “Weld,” donated it to Rose Adelitzz and Anne Athanassion for the recital of their dancing classes. Catherine Burke had charge of the lighting, Margaret Lyons and Anna Hooban resigned tbe costumes, while Edna Weierick took pictures of the affair for the newspapers. Among the dancers, were Virginia Rach- eotes, Esther Hennessey, Margaret Kendrick, Frances Pree and Alice Mul- lowney. Florence Spears fell into the pond and had to be pulled out by Catherine Cannon and Lillian Davidson. This accident spoiled the effect of Ruth Joslyn’s Egyptian Dance. This concludes our program for this afternoon, signing off at four-thirty P.M. J. O’S. announcing. Frances: (to class and audience) You may file to your home rooms now in the order. John : (goes to telephone) Regent 6422. Frances : Hello ? John: This is John O’Sullivan. How do you do, Frances? Frances: We h ave enjoyed the program immensely. John : Did you? I ' ve just discovered that Billie Beals and Dottie Spurr are having a double wedding this afternoon. They tried to keep it a secret, but Marjorie Ure found it out, and the whole crowd is planning to land in on them while the ceremony is going on. Won’t you ride over with me? Frances: What time would it start? (loosens hair). John: Right away. Frances: But, I have a class next period, (takes off glasses). John : Oh, come on ! Frances: Well Tohn: Fine! Be there in five minutes. (Both exit). JOHN O’SULLIVAN 69 FRANCES SMALL NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Oration Classmates : TT 7E are assembled here, inspired with high hopes concerning life. I hesitate ’ ’ to use the word life, for it is so vast a term, so difficult of definition. Mys- tery, fear, joy, and sadness all these and others are its companions. To me the truest symbol of life is a river; always the same, yet ever dif- ferent; always passing, always present; flowing yet enduring; giving, yet in- exhaustible. We have now come to a divide in this river of life, and we must carefully choose our course. Shall we dare the rapids of finance or sail the smooth waters of hard work and saving? Shall we paddle against the wind of advice or sail with the current of experience? We are all hoping for that success which means worth-while achievement, which, in the highest sense implies that we have actually attempted some great purpose; that we have made judicious use of our time, thought, and abilities. In order to attain success we must first possess character. Character means more to a man than a monument of pure gold built over his dead body, reach- ing from earth to Heaven. Our character is the sum total of our acts. As each act is preceded by a thought, these thoughts are both architect and builder of our lives and destiny ; therefore, we should guard them as our greatest power and possession. It is well in this strife of life to have in mind a definite purpose in order that we may be able to strive always towards the desired goal. In choosing a goal aim high, keep in mind that half of greatness is grit. Again, never rely on accident to start you in life because accident doesn’t run on schedule ; spurts do not count, the final score is the measure of the man. There is but one easy road to success, the hard, straight way. Y ou never save time by cutting across the quicksands. Let us str ive not to be the chronic failure who is always searching for x, the unknown quantity. His whole career is an endless series of rehearsals which never eventuate into performances. Friends, this is our day and our opportunity. The world needs those who possess the courage of their convictions. It needs leaders, but it insists that they prove their right as well as their might to lead. We must have in our midst more men — men who will dare to hurt us by hurting our vanity and correcting our faults. Too many of us lack the courage to look our weaknesses squarely in the eye and call them by their unvarnished names. Society is pitifully lack- O NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR ing in giants. Everywhere the call is sounding for men, strong men, men with clear vision, men with clean hearts who dare to nail a lie and tell a truth, who fear to fail in nothing so much as themselves. We must, as loyal men and women out of gratitude for the priceless training we have received here, develop along these lines. Dear old school, for years you will be the molder of minds, your walls the retainer of friendship, your memory an eternal comfort. It is with a great sadness of heart blended with a sense of adventure that we, the Class of ’24, bid you farewell. J.OREN TAYI.OK 7 1 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Ivy Oration W E, the Class of 1924, are gathered here today to plant this ivy as a token of our esteem and affection for our school. Let it recall to our minds memories of the past, and give to us an inspiration for the future. As this tender plant sends forth its branches, upward and outward, beautifying and protecting the walls of this admirable institution, so let ns, the members of the Class of 1924, climb upward and onward, ever clinging to our ambitions and traditions, and so beautify and protect our country. Rowan McCarn. 72 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Class Poem DAWN The sun had arisen in splendor ; The flush of the red dawn on high Had added a pearl and a ruby, To the glorious crown of the sky. New life had begun in the morning, New life that was God’s holy bode; New flowers were beginning to open, New pilgrims to travel life’s road. And some one was guiding those pilgrims ; With them she communed, that new day ; They called her the Mother of Learning, She pointed to one narrow way. SUNSET The sun, in the west, was just setting; The pilgrims had travelled their way ; Some fell among thorns and ’mong thickets, And some of them wandered astray. But those who had finished the journey, As low in the west sank the sun, Gave thanks to their Mother of Learning Who showed them the way they’d begun. Mercedes R.

Cole ¥N the resignation of Mr. Cole, after forty years as Director of Music in the Brookline Public Schools, the High School pupils are losing a loyal friend and one who has always been devoted to their best interests. Mr. Cole came to the town in 1884 to teach music in the grades, but it was not until several years later that music was started in the High School. Since that time there have been some noteworthy achievements in the music department. In 1894, the High School chorus gave a public performance of Cowen’s Cantata, “The Rose Maiden,” with accompaniments played by the first High School orchestra. This organiza- tion had a most successful career, lasting for ten or twelve years after its in- :eption in 1890, at a period when a school orchestra was more of a novelty than it is now. The present orchestra and band were organized in 1917. The band has furnished the music for Class Day since that time and the orchestra has been heard in public on many occasions, in 1921 playing the first movement of a Mozart pianoforte concerto with Miss Matsuki, a former graduate of the school, and in 1922 giving an entire symphony by Haydn. Mr. Cole’s ideal has always been to give only the best music to his pupils, believing that the truest “appreciation” comes through the intimate acquaintance with good music which is gained only by an active participation in it. He has endeared himself to hosts of former graduates, who, with his present pupils, will congratulate him on his successful completion of such a long and worthv period of service. Edith H. Snow, Asst. Musical Director. 77 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Class of 1925 TN the early days of October the Class of 1925 elected its officers. Elizabeth Chisholm was elected the auditor, Ransom Hodges became the class banker and Sara Louise Price consented to look after Alfred Vinton the president. As it is the duty of the Junior Class to provide social recreation for the school, we gave many successful socials. The last social was a decided departure from the usual cus- tom, in that everyone came “stag.” The results were most pleasing. The credit for the good times belong not only to the social committee, but to our faculty advisors, Mrs. Nasmyth and Miss Parker. In the presentations of the Senior Social, Dramatics and the Spanish Play the Class was well represented by such actors as Elizabeth Chisholm, Sara Louise Price, Irene Jewett, Ann Taylor, Mary Roblin, Barbara Pike, Willis Bradley, Alfred Vinton, Nancy Powell, Margaret Follin, Anna Driscoll, William Nicker- son, Charles Gaynor and Burton Jolles. Membership in the Honorary Society, the greatest honor to be obtained in school, has been reached by the following Juniors: Elizabeth Haven, Nancy Powell, Harold Levine, Maurice Goudey and Alfred Vinton. The girls in our Class have shown remarkable skill in athletics. They are to be found on every girls’ team, whether it be field hockey, track, gym, basket- ball or swimming. In a series of basketball games for the championship they have won two out of three games from the Seniors. The class swimming cham- pionship is still another of their triumphs. Such a dazzling pace was set by the girls that the boys have had a hard task to equal their record. During the fall Captain-elect Dan Daley, Jack Floyd, Bob Hall, “Bake” Hennessey, Eddie McGrath and “Al” Vinton chased the pig- skin. Through the efforts of “Gidge” Daley, “Si Lewis, Oberhauser, Ben Leavitt, Morrison, Darling, Jolles, and “Bake” Hennessey, B. H. S. still retains the Lt. Meehan trophy. The hockey team, captained by Alec Murray, who was assisted by Bob Hall, Ben Currier and Jim Holland, made the semi-final round in the hockey champion- ship. Alec Horsfall, Prescott Emmons, Eddie McGrath, Alec Murray and “Al” Vinton did their stuff for the track team. Floyd McField, Taylor and Elwood 78 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Currier rowed on the crew. Bob Hall, “Bake” Hennessey, Eddie McGrath and Andy Sims swatted the pill for the ball team. The girls and boys of our class have gone out for more activities than any other class. A willingness for work has been the secret of our success. The only regret that we as Juniors have, is that we have only one more year in which to show our appreciation of Brookline High School. Alfred Vinton, President. 79 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Class of 1 926 HE Class of 1926 has been honored greatly in being the first Sophomore Class to have the use of the new High School building. We have tried to show our appreciation of the advantages given us by using the building well. In it we gave a social or reception to the Freshmen, at the beginning of the year, which was a great success. At this entertainment we originated a new idea for socials by giving moving pictures. There are the usual number of Sophomores in the Teacher-Student Council and the Court of Justice. In sports, the boys have had a hand in Football, Track, Swimming and Hockey. In these sports we have had major representatives. The girls splendidly represented the class in the Girls’ Swimming Team, Hockey, Basketball, and Gym Team. From an enrollment of promising students and athletes there is no doubt that there will come many achievements creditable to the Class of 1926. Richard Gentle, President. 80 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Class of 1927 IT will not do to claim too much for the Class of 1927, since modesty is one of its chief qualities. The first official action taken by the Freshman Class was to elect its officers. Robert Mason was chosen as President, and Ethel Lee as Vice President with Betty Hamilton and Roger Whitman, respectively, Secretary and Treasurer. Robert Mason, Roger Whitman, Martin Ford, .Ethel Lee and Catherine Hutchin- son were elected Marshals. According to the custom of past years the Sophomore-Freshman Social was the occasion of welcoming the Freshmen and establishing them socially. This was a brilliant affair, and the Freshman Class is very grateful for its cordial welcome. Of our members, several have distinguished themselves along different lines. With pride we mention Fessenden Wilder, winner of the first prize, for the boys in the prize speaking contest ; Betty Wade, Edmee Moore, and Anna Maloney were awarded prizes of twenty, fifteen, and ten dollars for their excellent posters, by Dr. Rowley of the Humane Society; Jane Kaffenburgh and Charles Dunker received medals for selling more Xmas seals than any other students during the Red Cross Seal Campaign. Upon our return to school after the April vacation we were grieved to hear of the fatal illness of Francis Forbes who died May 3. He was a boy who was liked and respected by all, and the class deeply regrets his loss. We look forward to three more years in which we may prove our worth to the school.

X TN a school as large as B.H.S. where so many different classes of people are represented and where activities and interests are so diversified it is essential to have one means at least of drawing together the student body in a common desire for a common goal. In giving recognition to everything that a student does in the High School it would seem that Alpha Pi is doing its bes t to satisfy this need. It should in years to come as it has in the past become more and more an instrument for the building up of a school spirit, at present none too strong. The membership at the beginning of this school year was larger than at the beginning of last year, there being five Seniors to start the season. At the fall and mid year elections this membership was greatly enlarged and the num- ber of Juniors now in the Society gives promise of a strong group next year. During the winter a revision of the Constitution was made with a view to mak- ing certain parts less ambiguous. No vital changes, however, were made. It is much to be hoped that all underclassmen who read this page will take to heart the real significance of the Society and work throughout the rest of their terms with the key of Alpha Pi as their goal and ambition. It is the highest honor that High School can bestow for it means service and self-sacrifice cheer- fully given that B.H.S. may he the better for the presence of the recipient. Kent Hough, President.

NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Teacher-Student Council r I ' ' HIS body consists of nine teachers elected by the faculty and nine students, the four class presidents, one marshal representative elected by each class, plus the captain of marshals. It is the duty of the council to discuss all subjects necessary and proper for the welfare of the school. There are two branches of this organization, the Court of Justice and the Marshal System. This year’s council consists of Miss Pease, vice-president ; Miss Liden, Miss Marshall, Miss Willgoose, Miss Gambrill, Miss F. G. Perkins, Coach Car- rel, Mr. Jewett, Mr. Whittemore, Robert Mason, Katherine Hutchinson, Richard Gentle, Sam Brown, Alfred Vinton, Nancy Powell, Kent Hough. Theresa Chisholm, President. Court of Justice ' T ' HE judicial side of student government in B.II.S is taken care of by the Court of Justice. It consists of nine student members and a faculty advisor. The rulings of this court is second only to those of the headmaster. The Chief Justice is elected by the student body the preceding spring ot his term. The Captain of the Marshals, Kent Hough automatically became prosecuting attorney. Alfred Vinton, Richard Gentle and Robert Mason alsc erve on the court as presidents of the respective classes. The respective mar- shals of the classes elected as their representatives James Donovan, senior rep- resentative; Josephine Albrecht, junior representative; Barbara Hall, sophomore representative, and the freshmen elected Richard Whitman as their representa- tive. Miss Liden was again re-elected by the faculty as the court advisor. In the few cases this year the court has tried, as a body, to uphold justly the student government of Brookline High School. Rowan McCarn, Chief Justice. 8 7 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Marshals ‘HE outstanding task which faced the Marshals at the beginning of this year was the job of building up a system which had become somewhat let down from the sudden expansion of the school into the new building, the results of which are still evident. The Marshal organization, still comparatively young, had scarcely found itself and did not fully realize its power or responsibility. The goal toward which we have worked has been to emphasize the importance of individual effort and responsibility in the work instead of passing it along to someone else. It should be the aim of all Marshals in the future to strengthen this individual side of the work. Like a chain, the system suffers from the weak- est link and whether on duty or off, the individual Marshal is effecting the strength of the whole. Our system has been the object of investigation from a good many other schools and to judge it by the reports of those investigators it has been suc- cessful. Whatever its deficiencies the Marshal system of B.H.S. compares very favorably with the few similar systems of the vicinity. Kent Hough, Captain. 89 FRONT ROW— W. Bradley, C. White. SECOND ROW— A. Anthony, S. Ricker, T. Centervall, R. Kelsey, B. Pike, A. Stein. BACK ROW— F. Kahle, M. Roblin. NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Dramatics HE past year has been one of expansion for Dramatics. Formerly the only play given was the one for the benefit of the Scholarship Fund, but this year “The Queen’s Enemies” by Lord Dunsany was produced before the regular play. This gave several pupils a chance to get experience on the stage and is a step towards the English Department’s goal — a play a month. Thus when it came time to put on the major play of the season, “Captain Applejack,” we had had the experience of the other play and this helped out on the stage end especially. Since Frances Kahle became seriously ill Theresa Chisholm took her part at the High School performances, but in the repetition at the Copley Theater Frances Kahle was able to appear. The play required some very fine acting as all the principals had to take two character parts, and to everyone is due credit for helping to put over the most difficult play ever attempted in Brookline High. Not only did we put on the play for two nights in school but we also gave it at the Copley Theater for the benefit of the New England High School Reper- tory Association. This is the Association that makes it possible for High School pupils to attend plays at the Copley Theater for ten cents. In order to raise money for this purpose the various schools belonging to the Association present plays at the Copley and the proceeds from these are given toward the Association fund. The actors were not the only ones to have dual characters — they were rivaled by the stage hands. These boys — Fulford Dexter, Hall Stokes, Francis Boles, Ed- mund Sexton and Alfred Leveck — shifted scenery and then went before the foot lights as pirates, and an excellent group of pirates there were. Great credit is due to all of them for their continual and faithful work throughout the year. They took every opportunity to learn more about the stage — and continued even after Dramatics. This is more than can be said for any previous stage crew. Waldo Keyes, in charge of the lighting, assisted by Burton Richardson, pro- duced some excellent lighting effects. James Billings, costumes, and Joseph Feld- man, properties, had unusually hard work to do — and did it well. This year the retiring Seniors leave a group of well trained under classmen to carry on the complicated work of our stage. In past years the work on the stage has been carried on by a few boys who had worked in only one play — in the future the stage men will learn their job by working on more than five shows — thus producing one of the best trained organizations in school. As the purpose of this play is to provide for scholarships, which are awarded on a basis of merit and need, the proceeds of this year’s play will be used to help three boys for a year. Due to the heavy expenses there was not as much profit this year as last and these scholarships will be for 200 dollars each. The Busi- ness Manager, Robert Mercer, shows a profit of 700 dollars and a balance in the permanent fund of 343 dollars. It is hoped to build up this permanent fund by saving our part of each year’s profit and by contributions from the alumni. James Donovan, Stage Manager. 9i M + FRONT ROW — Miss Willgoose, M.

Starting with very low funds in March, 1923, we have completed a success- ful year, embellished with cartoons and athletic pictures, with a gratifying cash balance to hand over to the incoming board and staff. When the 1925 personnel assumed office in March they took control of a smoothly running, financially sound organization, and have already proved their interest and enthusiasm. The newspaper form has continued popular with the student body and has provided a wider medium for student effort along lines of writing. There is some criticism that we have lowered the literary standards of the Sagamore, but, on the contrary, the publication is entirely in the hands of the students who make their own standards. A vote of thanks is due our Faculty Advisors, Miss Willgoose and Mr. Jewett, for the co-operation they have shown throughout our year of office. Frances C. Marshal, Chairman. 93 Powell, H. Wingate.

The class graduating this year remembers the initiation of the League, has watched it grow, and now sees it firmly established. Junior and Senior advisors, selected last spring, were ready to help the freshmen as soon as school opened, and the annual Welcome Party, given in honor of the new-comers by the upper classes, afforded splendid opportunities for the freshmen to become better acquainted. Later in the year two professional dancers, Miss Frances Aldrich and Mr. Normon Hawkesworth, danced for the girls at an assembly in the auditorium, il- lustrating various types of dancing which Mr. Hawkesworth first described. In the early spring, Mrs. Mattie Joy of the College of Business Adminis- tration of B. U. gave an interesting lecture on business careers for girls. The Executive Board for ig23-’24 is: President, Frances Small; Vice- President, Nancy Powell; Secretary, Helen Wingate; Treasurer, Elizabeth Chis- holm ; Chairmen of Committees : Home-Room, Dorothy Morgan ; Advisors, 1 her- esa Chisholm; Hospitality, Sara Louise Price; Athletic, Ruth Aronson; Calen- dar, Doris Clark; Faculty Advisors, Miss Hoeh and Miss Nickerson.

Under the able direction of Mr. Snow, chairman, and the committee consisting of Miss J. Perkins, Mrs. Nasmyth, Miss Bliss, Miss J. Smith, Miss Adams and Mr. Godkin. Four boys and four girls were chosen as the final contestants from the many who entered in the beginning. The prize speaking was held in January and the prizes (books) were awarded at the fol- lowing graduation exercises in June. The contestants for the prize were: Eliza- beth Berenson ’27, Margaret Follin ’25, Audrey Franklin ’26, Edith Sundell ’26, William Hughes ’25, James Levinsohn ’26, John O’Sullivan ’24 and Fessenden Wilder ’27.

NINETEEN TWENTY - FOUR The Girls ' Debating Club T AST year the Girls’ Debating Club won an unqualified success in its new venture, the extemporaneous interscholastic debate. One of the oldest in- stitutions in the school, the club was quick to see the value of uncoached inter- scholastic debates. In its first attempt the Club scored a unanimous victory against Melrose. Since this is the most important event of the debating year, the interscholastic contests are followed with a great deal of interest, and this year is no exception. A return debate has been arranged with Melrose High School in which the team hopes to repeat its former victory. The team this year consists of Frances Marshal ’24, Elizabeth Haven ’25, Muriel Barrie ’25, Dorothy Shugg ’25, Alice Murphy ’27, and Margaret Follin ’25. The attendance at the club meetings throughout the year has been small, but a certain group has shown steady interest and, consequently, reaped great benefit from these monthly meetings. It is hoped that in the ensuing years a growing interest will be shown in this valuable line of activity. Frances C-Marshal, President. 99 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR The French Club “T E Cerele Frangais” has added another eminently successful year to its list. The attendance at all meetings has been unusual, as is the quality of en- thusiasm displayed by the members. Owing to the large number of French classes there has been no lack of material from which to draw for the social activities of the club. Since the whole organization depends upon the members of “Ee Cerele,” the major part of the success is due them. The Faculty Advisors simply guide the enthusiastic work of the students and discuss plans for the monthly meetings, which are, without exception, interesting and original. The main part of the actual accomplishing of their projects rests upon the students. The high quality of the entertainments so far this year is an active testimonial of their co-operation and effort which cannot be surpassed. Each year “Le Cerele Frangais” forges a closer link between France and the school, and each year strengthens the foundation of unqualified success upon which the club is founded. Frances C- Mars t-iale. President. IOO NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR The Spanish Club L L CIRCULO ESPANOL, the realization of an old dream was founded in in 1922. During its first year, it made rapid strides and the members took a true interest in the life and customs of the Spanish people. The Club, sup- ported by Miss Wood, received fresh impetus with the return of Miss Adams who brought with her stories of her many interesting experiences in Spain. The two outstanding meetings of this year were the first, a fiesta given for the teachers, which was a huge and unqualified success, and the Mardi-Gras for the modern language clubs which was first conceived as a meeting of the Spanish Club alone. The membership is limited to first-year pupils having A, who are initiated after the mid-years, and other pupils receiving B. The officers serving for the year 1923-1924 are Nancy Powell ’25, President; Dorothy Spurr ’24, Vice-Presi- dent, and Joseph Loeb ’25, Secretary-Treasurer. Nancy Powell, ’25, President. 101 NINETEEN TWENTY - FOUR The Spanish Play A MUSICAL comedy was presented by the school this year for the first time in its history. The time was just right for it. The orchestra brought to a high point of excellence under the leadership of Mr. Cole was able to undertake the difficult Spanish music with hope of success. This hope was realized through the able and devoted work of Mr. Francis Findlay, special conductor for the Spanish Play. The play itself, La Patria Chica, seemed made for the occasion. Written by the brothers Alvarez Quintero, the most popular writers of this generation in Spain, with music by the eminent Spanish composer Chape. It has stood the test of time in Spain, and every year, for the last fifteen years, it is presented many times in Madrid. The light and graceful musical numbers were admirably rendered by the leading characters, Nancy Powell, Margaret Follin, John O’Sullivan, Charles Gaynor and Burton Jolles. The speaking parts were no less admirably taken by Loren Taylor, John Plakias, Anna Wiles, Anna Driscoll, Irene Jewett, Paul Sexton and Jeanne Bouvier. No small contribution was made to tbe pleasure of the evening by the solo dancing of Irene Jewett and the Jota danced by a group of boys and girls. Every effort was made to have the “Noche Espanola” as truly Spanish as possible. How successful that effort was indicated by numerous letters from real Spaniards who were there, from one of which we take the liberty to quote here: “I take the greatest pleasure in congratulating the Brookline High School in the beauty of its production of La Patria Chica. The School should be truly proud of a Spanish production so finished in all its details. The members of the cast gave so artistic a performance, their pronunciation was so excellent, the scene so exquisite and so in keeping with it all, that there were moments when I felt myself transported to my beloved Spain.” The Spanish Musical Comedy was hard work but it was worth while and great credit is due the individual members of the cast for their excellent per- formance. Loren Taylor, ’24. 103 N I N E T E E N TWENTY - FOUR Girls ' Glee Club r I ' ' HE Girls’ Glee Club has now reached the point where it has become an estab- lished organization of the school. It has a membership of thirty girls and a waiting list of ten names eligible to fill any vacancy occuring during the year. The Club holds weekly meetings for the rehearsal of songs and the trans- action of any necessary business. A part of our rehearsals this year have shown no public results directly, for because of an overcrowded calendar, we were un- able to present the Chinese operetta for which we planned. The Club has many undergraduate members, however, and we are still optimistic over next year’s presentation. We have, however, sang as usual at the football rally and at Prize Speaking. Besides these and outside engagements the Club enjoys each year a Glee Club party and each year our efforts are rewarded by added points for A II. This year, unmarked by our coveted operatic display, has come to a happy end through the congenial co-operation of our members and faculty advisors in furthering and strengthening our position in the school for further success. Helen S. Lucas, ’24. 105 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Girls ' Mandolin Club TT ' OR several years the Girls’ Mandolin Club has been one of the most important musical organizations in the Brookline High School. Besides playing at school affairs it has played at churches, clubs and different organizations around Brookline. This year the Club consists of fourteen members, including a saxophonist, a pianist, and a violinist. The Club has entertained at the Woman’s Club, the Runkle School Reception, two more Grammar School affairs and divers other places. Besides the enjoyment gained in belonging to the Club each member receives a point a year towards the Honorary Society. This is one of the pleasant ways to gain outside points and one that is very much worth while. Barbara Roluns, President. 107 MacCoy, V. Thomas, A. Wax, J. Billings, B. McGary, M.

N I N E T E E N TWENTY-FOUR The Boys ' Banjo-Mandolin Club T HE Boys’ Banjo-Mandolin Club held its first meeting in October and elected the following officers for the year 1923-24. Edward Robinson, President; Maurice R. Goudey, Musical Director; Victor Thomas, Financial Secretary. Popular music was immediately prepared for entertainment at Parent-Teacher Association meetings, both at the High School and at various Grammar Schools. Very few outside engagements were performed during the winter, but the Club satisfied its audiences wherever it went. Shortly after the mid-year examinations the Club regretfully accepted the resignation of its president, Edward Robinson, and elected Maurice Goudey to fill the vacancy for the remainder of the season.

A ' .V £ T £ £ A IE £ A ' £ Y - F O V 1 The Brookline High School Band HE Brookline High School Band, under the leadership of the new director, Mr. Findlay, has been doing successful work. Mr. Findlay, who came to us this year to fill the position left vacant by Mr. Fulton, has a very strong per- sonality. He makes a fine leader and has held the members up to a high stan- dard of musical work. The band always has two recitals each year, one before the student body and the other on Class Day. The advantage of such a thorough musical educa- tion along with the regular studies is extremely beneficial to the individual mem- ber of the organization. The band loses many good players each year due to graduation. Then the few remaining look to the Freshman Class for support. This year the band will lose a few members but I think the band will prosper if this year’s ideas are carried out. Hrxkst S. Harris, President. i i i BACK ROW — L. Moore. E. Densmore, D. Parker. M.

NINETEEN TIVENTY-FOUR Chess Club ' T ' HE second season of the Chess Club has been one of expansion. Following the policy of making a firm foundation for later years, a special effort was made to interest Freshmen, with the result that over half the members this year were Freshmen. Outside of providing a place in school where members could play at any time and where tournaments were held, an effort was made to secure outside competition. With this object in view, the Interscholastic Chess League was formed in January by Brookline, Cambridge, Rindge and Somerville. During the four months, February to May inclusive, six games have been played by each school, and for the victor a silver trophy is provided, to be kept permanently by that school which first wins it three times. Starting with a six-man team this year, more places will be added each year so as to give everyone a chance to participate. The Club also wishes to give Mr. Case and Mr. Nash a unanimous vote of thanks for their interest in playing simul- taneous games and in supervising League contests during the year. William Land, ’24, President. T 13 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR The Art Club y T HE Art Club, although it is one of the smaller clubs in Brookline High, plays an important part in forming one of the links in the chain of social life in the school. The members visit the Art Galleries and Museums of greater Boston, here gathering a wealth of material from the works and paintings of prominent ar- tists. This not only helps them to increase their appreciation but also aids their school by enabling them to make better posters, pastels and designs. Eari,e Thrasher, ’24, President . 1 14 NINETEEN T IV ENTY-FOUR Domestic Science Club r I ' ' HE officers of the Domestic Science Club are Edith Gallagher, President ; Katherine Hutchinson, Vice-President ; Helen McEttrick, Secretary, and Mary Daley, Treasurer, each of whom represents one of the four classes. Mem- bership is open to all girls taking Domestic Science, having an average of “C” or over. Meetings are held on the second Thursday of each month. Three meetings of special interest this year included a social with musical selections by members of the club followed by dancing and refreshments, a demonstration of bread-making leading to a bread contest, and lastly, an excur- sion to the Walter Baker Chocolate Factory. Those who participated in this trip received very attractive souvenirs. The success of our Club year has been due to tbe great interest shown by our faculty members, Miss Smith and Miss Jones, and we hope that it will continue for many years more. Edith Gallagher, ’24, President. The Radio Club ' T ' HE Radio Club has passed its second successful year, having been organized in the fall of 1922 by Alfred Clinton ’23. Meetings are held every week at which various problems are discussed, and occasionally a lecture is given on some interesting subject concerning radio. This year the Club raised enough money to purchase the necessary apparatus for a five-watt transmitter, which was constructed by the members. As the trans- mitter was not completed until late in the year, it was not used very much. Next year, however, we plan to carry on regular communication with other schools having radio clubs. The Club has thirty members, all of whom own receiving sets. Four of the members have licenses, operate their own transmitters and often are heard in various radio districts throughout the United States and occasionally in Canada, as well as England and France. The Club is under tbe supervision of Mr. John C. Packard, the faculty ad- visor, and is conducted in much the same manner as other clubs in the school. The officers of the year 1923-24 were, Samuel Brown, President ; Arthur Wood, Vice-President ; Charles McDowell, Treasurer ; Allen Skinner, Secretary ; Abilon McCarthy, Chief Operator ; Herbert Wirt, Assistant Chief Operator. Samuel S.

Fifty-eight members are ready to make individual appeals in the home rooms. Their loyalty has made it possible for each pupil to receive information in advance about his opportunities in school life. r I ' ' HE Brookline High School Alumni Council was organized in 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 ac- tivities, 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 clearing-house establishing a tribunal where three factions — under- graduates, faculty and alumni — may bring their ideas and suggestions concerning 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 personnel consists of four mem- bers 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 undergraduate body, the alumni, or the faculty, receive serious discussion, and action is taken when advisable. Leader E.

During the entire season only two games were played in which it did not score. The number of points made during the season were fifty-two, as against sixty-one by the opposing teams, leaving only a mar- gin of nine points on the total in favor of other teams. The game with Newton, although a defeat, registered for the Brookline team one of the largest scores made against Newton. The attitude of the players showed great spirit and their efforts to win speak for themselves. Ten games were played in a very satisfactory manner, and from the start to the finish the opponents were only sure of a victory when the final whistle had been blown.

Baseball W ITH four of last year ' s lettermen in school, Coach Carrell began the de- velopment of this year ' s team. It did not function smoothly at the begin- ning of the season, but by the time of our first game with Newton it was in full stride. In this game we had the pleasure of defeating Newton once more. So far this season we have played six games and won but two by the time this book reaches you I venture to say that the ratio will be much better. Financially this is the best year we have ever had. Our students bought over three hundred season tickets and the gate receipts have been the best in years. James Donovan, Manager. BACK ROW— Hayden Tyler, Ben Mandelstam Mgr., Andrew Murray.

NINETEEN T W E N T Y -FOUR Boys 9 Swimming Team DROOKLINE High this year has produced another of its famous champion- ship swimming teams. In the Meehan Trophy School Boy Championship, we scored 24 points, while Huntington, our nearest rival scored only 10. The swimming team has not this year, or for several years, been defeated by any high school team. This sterling record is in large part due to the efforts of Coach “Jim” MacNamara and Captain Joe McCarthy. Captain McCarthy has repeatedly broken records of long standing. The team journeyed to Andover and Exeter, but lost both these meets to the older boys. A list of the vanquished teams includes the M.I.T. Freshmen, the Brown Freshmen, Newton, Cambridge, Rindge, Gardner, English H. S., and B. C. High. Malden forfeited a meet, and the meet with Huntington School was lost by the narrow margin of 27 to 26. Captain McCarthy made the trip to the Yale Interscholastics and was second in the 100-yard back-stroke, being beaten only by a Mercersburg swimmer. Coach MacNamara has given a great deal of time and effort to the develop- ment of the swimming team, and the value of his services is appreciated by every member of the squad. With many of this year’s stars coming back to school next year, the outlook for another championship team is very bright. Here’s wishing them luck. Joseph Feldman, ’24, Manager.

NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Crew ' T ' HE 1924 Crew season started about the first week in March when the can- -®- didates were called out for practice on the machines. One man from last year’s first crew and three men from last year’s champion second crew, were the only veterans to report. Since then Mr. Niccolls has been trying to find a port man for the first crew and after several shakeups has finally chosen a good com- bination to represent Brookline High. The only real trouble we have encountered (and it must be remedied in the near future if the crew is to win) is lack of boats ! The shell we try to race in is thirteen years old. A heavy, old fashioned, waterlogged affair, that rides so low in the water that it fills if there is the least bit of rough weather. Both crews use this boat in the races and have lost at least two races this season because of it. Once in the Brown and Nichols race, when the Brookline boat sank completely under in both first and second crew races, and again with the Noble and Greenough crews when both boats were so full that they were only just floating. This is not an “alibi” for losing races, but a statement of fact. There is no Keith trophy this year, but Mr. Niccolls has some Boston busi- ness men interested in schoolboy rowing, and he hopes to get a trophy for a race sometime in June. The schools competing will be Brookline, Rindge, Cam- bridge Latin, Foxboro, and perhaps Lynn English and Lynn Classical. Robert Mercer, ’24, Captain. 129 FRONT ROW — F. Fogarty, J. O’Sullivan, R.

NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR The Hockey Team r I ' ' HE Hockey Team for tire year T924 had a fairly satisfactory season con- sidering the small amount of practice done due to the lack of ice. We played in the semi-finals against Newton losing 1-0 thus ending our season in third place in the Ice Hockey League. The individual work of the following men will bear mentioning: Robert Hall, Captain Alexander Murray, James Holland, forward line; John O’Sullivan and Edward Shapiro at defense, and Francis Fogarty and Francis Driscoll, goal. The Hockey Team of 1924 wishes next year’s team the best of luck for a brilliant and successful season. Earle Thrasher, ’24, Manager. 131 FRONT ROW — E. Thrasher. J. O’Sullivan, Capt., H. Anthony.

NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Tennis Team I N behalf of the tennis team, I am indeed pleased to be able to say that we have before us the prospect of a good season. Of last year’s letter men we have three reliable men in Sexton, Anthony, and Rowley. As tennis seems to be getting more popular in Brookline High, we are expecting a large number of candidates for the 1924 season. These men, combined with the above-mentioned, assures a tennis team which will be able to hold up the standard of Brookline High School. WING to lack of funds the ride team was unable to compete in any matches this last school year. This seemed too bad owing to the fact that the team made such a tine showing the previous year by capturing the match for New England High Schools held by the United Services of New England. A success- ful year was also in order this season as only one of last year’s letter men was lost to the team by graduation. The letter men available this season were Keyes, manager ; Mallard, cap- tain ; Morgan, Von Kadeau, Anthony and Donovan. John H. O’Sullivan, Captain.

NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Field Hockey Team AST fall Field Hockey was added to the Girls’ Athletics, and over fifty girls tried out for the team. Weekly practices were held at the Dean Road playground, under the able coaching of Miss Helen Sherman and a team of eleven regulars and four substitutes were finally chosen to represent the school. Games were played with Needham (2), Winchester and Wellesley High Schools and with Choate Prep. School, resulting in a total score of 10 to 10. As most all of the other schools had been playing the game in former seasons, the score seemed quite satisfactory to the “beginners.” Greta Centervalr, Captain. 135 FRONT ROW — F. Wingate, E. Lee, M.

At the beginning of the season the team selected Molly McEttrick, captain, and Ruth Aronson, manager. Faithful weekly practice started immediately and after the Christmas holi- days Coach McNamara selected the team. There were many of last year’s girls including: F. Wingate, H. Wingate, M. Centerwall, R. Horsfal, R. Kelsey, B. Rock, E. Colby, H. McEttrick and Molly McEttrick. The others consisting of I. MacDonald and R. Larkin worked themselves up from last year’s second team. After the team was chosen, the girls held an interclass meet, won by the Juniors. The first interscholastic meet in Brookline, under the auspices of the N.E.W.S.A. was won by the Brookline girls. The next meet, at Brookline with B.S.P.E. Brookline’s yearly rivals made our record stronger after a very inter- esting meet. On April 9, Pawtucket High School Team came up to mar the record but were disappointed by a score of 20-8. There are to be two return meets, one with Brockton, and the other with Pawtucket which will wind up the swimming season. The girls’ swimming team still holds the undefeated High School record of either girls or boys. Ruth Aronson, ’25, Manager. 137 FRONT ROW— D. Wade, E. Lee, II. Gould, M. McEttrick, Capt., M.

NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR The Girls ' Gym Team HE Girls’ Gym Team reorganized early in the school year under the splendid supervision of Miss Kelley. We are glad to state that our team is made up of earnest, interested girls who put into the work all the pep and sports- manship required for good results. The work of the team consists of marching, floor work, apparatus and games. We had two meets, one with Winchester which was lost by one point owing to the enforced absence of three of our best performers, but all were in for the next meet with Needham, winning a victory by over one hundred points. The team is made up of four seniors, eleven juniors, two sophomores, and six freshmen. Molly McEttrick, Captain. 1 30 NINETEEN TWENTY-FOUR Girls ' Junior Basket-ball Team T3ASKET-BALL did not lose its popularity among the girls this year. When the call came for candidates for the class teams a crowd of girls reported. The class teams were chosen in January and from the Juniors who tried out the following girls were selected : forwards, Mollie McEttrick, Joe Albrecht (captain) ; jumping center, Mary Jerome; side-center, Betty Rock; guards, Har- riet Sussman, Barbara Rollins and Bernice Levine. The interclass games took place in February and March. We Juniors defeated the freshmen in our first game. Then the Sophomores beat us in our next. In our third game we actually defeated the Seniors, champions of last year. But in our second game with the Sophomores we turned the tables and won a victory from them. Then came our seco nd game with those Seniors and (as wonders will never cease) we defeated them again. This game was a hard struggle for the Seniors made us work for that victory. We have defeated them twice and as far as we have played are school champions. The contest is not really completed, but because of time it is undecided whether the last game will be played or not. Let me express the hope that in the future we may have a varsity team to uphold the name of Brookline High. Josephine Albrecht, ’25, Captain . 140 NINETEEN T IV ENT Y-FOUR Girls ' Tennis Team OINCE 1917 the Girls’ Tennis Team has grown to be an important activity in the High School. This year under the management of Ottilie Gaertner and the coaching of Miss Kelley, the team composed of Ruth Carl, Berthale Hawk, Marion Gould, Natalie Hall, Roslind Kelsey, and Frances Flanagan lias accom- plished a great deal. Schools played according to schedule were: Newton High, Sargent School, Winchester High, Lasell Seminary, and the Boston School of Physical Education. We owe many thanks to Miss Sherman for the support she has given to the team, and for her untiring efforts in coaching the “Beginners”. The year as a whole has proved most successful.
