How can we forget such a gala day in our honor, for this is a tribute that will remain throughout our lives? We shall continue the remaining exercises in this auditorium that holds many pleasant memories for us. First, the Historian will tell you of our career from the beginning to the end. Then, the Class Prophet and Prophetess will prognosticate the future, showing each one of us has followed his path toward success. The Class Orator will deliver his speech setting forth our ideals. The Class Poem showing that we are in perfect rhythm with the school will be given, followed by the Class Song which shows the wonderful harmony between the School and the Class of 1927. So welcome, guests, we invite you to join in the final events of this day. Soon we shall leave the school. Let us all unite in this last coming together to make the thought of this day always an inspiration for us. To you all, I extend a hearty welcome from the Class of 1927. Herbert S. Woods. 79 N I N E T E E N TWENTY ' SEVEN Last Will and Testament of the Class of 1927 Be it remembered: that we, the Class of June, 1927, of the Brookline High School in the Town of Brookline and in the Commonwealth of Mas- sachusetts, being of sound and disposing mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life, do hereby make, publish, and declare this to be our last will and testament, hereby revoking any and all wills here- tofore made by us. After the payment of our funeral expenses and just debts, we hereby give, devise, and bequeath as follows : First: We, the entire class, leave our sincere sympathy to the faculty for the grief that will be caused by our departure.

We hereby nominate and appoint as executor, Mr. Packard, and re- quest that he be exempt from giving any surety on his bond, as such. Signed, The Class of 1927.

Sturtevant Burr, C. H. Lewis, D. Taft. 81 HI HET E EH T V EH7 v ■ S EV EH Marvin Chandler Class History E are aware, friends, with what mingled feelings of awe and respect you are now gazing upon our class. For who of you will ever forget that famous September day four years ago, when Brookline High School first opened its doors to the class of 1927? Are we not the first class to have use of this new building during the entire four years? Indeed, we had not been settled long before our fame had traveled to Washington, and the airship Shenandoah was sent up to look us over. Who of us does not remember that day, although probably more because Mr. Akers cut half an hour off the fifth period than because we were allowed to see the fated dirigible? We soon elected a fine set of officers: namely, Bob Mason, Ethel Lee, Betty Hamilton, and Roger Whitman. In our first year we seem to have been more inclined towards the intellectual, a fault which we soon got over, however. The result was a Newton turkey on Thanksgiving Day. In Prize Speaking we were especially in evidence, Fezzie Wilder winning first honors for the boys, and Elizabeth Berenson competing with the girls, in the first contest held in this auditorium. We had numerous representa- tives on the clubs and musical organizations of the school; the Sagamore was not without our talent, and Eric Goullaud coxed the second crew. We seemed to have had an especial inclination to the Chess Club, over half, of which was made up of freshmen. The girls also expressed a desire for athletics. Charlotte Bourneuf and Helen Morse made the first field hockey team at Brookline, while Ethel Lee and Helen Gould began their swimming activities which they have been at ever since. More than a quarter of the gym team were members of our class. The story of our first year is not complete without mention of the passing of Francis Forbes on May 3. He was liked and respected by all, and was an irreparable loss to the class. Upon our joyful return in September, we lost no time in making Fezzie Wilder, captain of the class, Clarine Stevens, his first lieutenant, Betty Cushing, wielder of the pen, and Ward French, guardian of the gold. The bewildered freshmen were welcomed with a dazzling reception and the year was on. Many of our number trotted out on the gridiron, and closed the season with an equally divided turkey. Our influence was becoming known. Track welcomed such stars as Ray Anderson; the swimmers could not retain the title without swimmers such as Lester Phillips, Bert Gleason, Eddie Densmore and Jimmy Mackey; and Herb Woods helped 82 HIHET EEH TW £NTT -SEV EH hockey. The now famous Sondheim began his twirling career, while Whit- man and Goullaud featured the crew. Among the girls, Charlotte Bourneuf and Helen Morse again chased around Dean Road with the field hockey team ; added to the two reliables on the swimming team were Louise O’ Day and Alexandra Centervall, and Ethel Lee, Helen Gould, and Betty Wade “gymmed” on the gym team. In other fields of endeavor we were also noticeable. Dramatics, the “Sag,” the musical and language clubs were full of our ambitious class- mates striving to get ahead. Another vacation rolled by, and once more we were on the field of battle. This time Herb Woods was raised to the generalship, with Ethel Lee back as brigadier, Betty Cushing again behind the desk, and Jody Meegan counting the coin. During the year our Junior Social Committee put on such a succession of marvelous entertainments as has never been seen before or since. In athletics, we at last gained a strong foothold. Captain Jody Meegan, Hank Myerson, Bob Frost, Herb Woods, and Bert Gleason led Brookline to the first Newton victory in nine years. Jody was unanimously chosen all-scholastic halfback. The track team with Ray Anderson, George Barrie, and A1 McCarthy had one of the most success- ful seasons in years. In the tank the team again held the championship, due to the work of Lester Phillips, Eddie Densmore, Bert Gleason, Ralph Fay, John Lynch, and Captain Jimmy Mackey. The hockey team played excellently under the leadership of Herb Woods, backed by Bert Gleason, Art Hyde, and Jody Meegan. Baseball flourished with Sonny Sondheim, Frannie Howe, and again Bert Gleason knocking out the homers. Crew found another junior captain, with Eric Goullaud holding the ropes and riding daily on the Charles behind the powerful strokes of Roger Whit- man, Gordon Hale, Marvin Chandler, Orrin Levin, and Charlie Copeland, two-thirds of the boatload. Bronstein. Gutman, Pattee, and Cap- tain Dick Mullowney led the racquet wielders to victory in eight out of ten matches. Thus it is seen that we had varsity captains in five out of the seven sports at the school. Was there ever a junior class that teould approach this record ? Helen Navin and Gladys Schoolcraft strengthened the field hockey- ists. Betty Wade, Louise O’Day, Helen Gould, and Captain Ethel Lee swam on another undefeated swimming team, and the gym team was aided in its usual defeat of Concord by the last three named above. I might also mention that the juniors won the interclass swimming meet. In February five of our number were admitted to Alpha Pi, the great- est honor in the school. Those receiving the keys were Morris Bronstein, Mary Reid, Eddie Sexton, Estelle Serber, and Celia Ziman. Betty Cushing was chairman of the Teacher-Student Council, and Alexandra Centervall was president of the Girls’ League. The “Sag” could not have survived without the assistance of Paul Meade, Eddie Sexton, Hugh Cave, A1 Hirsh- berg, Jimmy Gray, Estelle Serber, and the now famous “Sonna.” Morris Bronstein received Honorable Mention in Prize Speaking, and we boast of many members of the band, orchestra, glee and mandolin clubs. Coming into the final stretch this fall, we returned Herb Woods to the presidency, Ethel Lee went back to her familiar role as Vice-Presi- dent, Marvin Chandler was introduced to the Secretary’s table, and after a two years’ rest, Roger Whitman was reinstated as Treasurer. Our 83 NINET eeh TW EHTT ■ sev eh Social and our Dance this year we believe to have been the best ever put on; they were, moreover, financially very successful. In football the apex was reached for the first time in the history of the school. Roger Gleason led the team to the Suburban League Cham- pionship, after beating Newton, 9 to 0. Who of us will ever forget that zero December day six months ago on the ice-coated Braves Field grid- iron, when the Red and Blue warriors pulled out a 7 to 6 victory over Everett. Hank Myerson, all-scholastic guard, played the whole game, Jackie Morison pushed over the vital touchdown, and in return for which Herb Woods, Gordon Crosby, Ross Johnston, Mel Levison, Bert Gleason, Junic.r Lynch, and Manager Pedro Howe, our classmates, received letters and gold footballs at the close of the season. Not content with their playing on the gridiron, Tony Myerson and Fernald Fitts tossed the shot put hither and yon during the track season. George Barrie, Ray Anderson, and Orrie Levin also did more than their bit for Manager Norman Hall’s schedule. The swimmers as usual kept their championship led by Captain Phillips, Densmore, Daley, Gleason, Mackey, and Manager Chandler. The hockey team, contrary to popular belief, did NOT finish at the bottom, largely because it had Herb Woods as captain, and the assistance of the Gleasons, Fitts, and Manager Bob Wilson. Baseball swung around with Captain Howe, Manager Densmore, the Gleasons again, Sondheim of course, and Junior Lynch to be depended on. Outdoor track is almost over with Captain George Barrie leading the team through a splendid season, and tennis is doing well. Our girls are still foremost in their forms of sport. Early in the year the Honorary Society admitted three more mem- bers to its select group : Alexandra Centervall, LeRoi Brereton, and Mar- vin Chandler. Again at the February meeting the seniors admitted were Lurena Lane, Dorothy Grant, Frances Conneely, Ruth Wood, Sturdie Burr, Hunter Perry, Bob Wilson, Mel Levison, and Dave Goldman. At Prize Speaking, A1 Forbes gathered the coveted oratorical wreath, again sup- ported by Morris Bronstein, with Sturdie Burr and Elizbabeth Tapi in also in the running. As officers, Chief Justice Roger Whitman and Captain of Marshals Paul Meade have both lived up to the highest ideals of the school. The Sagamore, under Fezzie Wilder, Paul Meade, Estelle Serber, A1 Hirshberg, and Morris Bronstein, with Jimmy Gray as financial boss, has never done so well and been such a pleasure to read. “Officer 666,” chosen for Dramatics, was put on in spite of unfortunate difficulties, and Fezzie Wilder, Eric Goullaud, Beverley Reimer, Rita Rudman, Frank Carew, and Officer Roger Smith sent the auditorium into roars of laughter at both performances. Thus have we carried out our four years at Brookline High, and though of course we are all positive that our class is the best that ever graduated, I hope in this article I have convinced you that there was never a class like that of 1927. NINETEEN TWENTT ' SEVEN Hunter Perry Elizabeth Cushing TIME: 1937. PLACE : The room of a sorcerer-fortune teller. Betty (entering) : Are you the sorcerer who can tell anyone anything he wishes to know? H. — I must acknowledge that you speak the truth. B. — Well, I have come to you H. — Pray be seated, and I will see if the crystal ball can tell me why you came. — Ah, yes, your name is Betty Cushing and you wish to find out some information about some of the people who graduated from Brookline High School with you back in the year 1927. B. — Marvelous ! H. — Well, whom do you wish me to tell you about? B. — Let me see who is first on my list here — oh yes, I wonder if you could tell me what Muriel Adams has been doing recently? H. — Muriel Adams — why she has just placed a new hair tonic, called “Kinko” on the market. It is guaranteed to remove the kinks from woolly hair. And Mary Mahoney found out that if you shake the bottle the other way it will make straight hair curly. B. — Now can you tell me something about Leroi Brereton? Oh, no, you needn’t bother; I remember that some one told me the other day that he was giving a lecture on “Optimism as the Key to my Success.” But what about Helen Blanchard ; I haven’t heard anything from her for years. H. — Just a minute till I get my connection with the right spirit. Here we are : Helen Blanchard is heading a nation-wide movement against the use of cosmetics. I can see some of her supporters with her too. I believe the names of two of them are Rita Rudman and Mignon Lind. I can see another group also. There are Ruth Trimble, Elizabeth Wallace, Isabella Snow, and Dorothea Sears. All of these are opposed to Miss Blanchard’s campaign. B. — Well! well! And now, what is Mary Reid doing? H- — I believe that Mary Reid is now the editor of a paper called “The Chatterbox. Sit tight a moment and I ' ll see if I can get my spirit- 85 NINETEEN TWENTY ' SEVEN ual paper-boy to bring us a copy of it. — Here you are. (Pulling a copy of the paper out from under the ball and handing it to her.) Here’s a column by Edmund Sexton entitled “Little Pills of Wisdom.” Listen to this that he has written: Early to bed and early to rise, And your girl goes out with other guys. H. — Didn’t these people go to school with you too? (Pointing to paper.) B. — Why yes, “Giddon and Giddon Inc. Flea-Soap.” And will you look at this: (reading) “Mary Marmaud Woods is suing her husband Herbert Woods, for divorce. Mr. Woods has procured the well-known attorney Miss Ruth Leventhal to act on his behalf. Mrs. Woods is plead- ing her own case. Judge Roger Whitman is presiding, and the jury in- cludes Alice Barr, Owen Britt, Dwight Ayres, Marvin Ford and John Kefauver.” And here’s a list of the envoys that Clarine Stevens, the first woman President, has just appointed: she is sending Arthur Brettler as the envoy to Ireland, Alice Rosenblum and Philip Hamilton to their re- spective native countries, Russia and China; and also because of their brilliance shown in B.H.S. in the languages of the following countries, she has sent Louis Hough to Germany, Ethel Dawson to France, and Leo Wexler to Spain. H. — There’s another advertisement that might interest you, “Use Healey’s Cod Liver Oil to keep that School Girl Complexion.” B. — Well, I guess that is about all there is of interest in that paper. I wonder if you could tell me anything about Charlie Copeland? H. — Why, yes, indeed, he was arrested the other day by Roger Smith, the motor-cycle cop, for going by the signal of John Gallagher who was doing traffic duty in Governor Square. He talked Smith out of giving him a summons and continued on his way down town, when — whom do you supposed he happened to see? B. — I haven’t any idea. H. — None other than “Noisy” Leland, himself, driving a hearse for Meade and Bronstein Inc., Undertakers. And when he arrived down by Boston Common he saw some excitement over by the Frog Pond ; on going over, he found that James Lynch had just fallen in, but had been heroically rescued by Daniel Linehan, Nathan Rittenburg, and Ernest Reiss. He was on his way down to the docks to see Bill Klepser, Otis Bird, and Cecil Rudnick, the famous silk stocking manufacturers who were leaving for New York to see the opening of David Kadetsky’s Silk Stock- ing Review which is usuing their fine goods. There are several of your old school-mates in this too: Estelle Ginsburg, Mary Keane, Muriel Shin- ners, Louise DuBreuil, Elsie Needham, Rita Christie, and Alva Ford all of whom have prominent parts: and the male chorus which is headed by Frank Carew includes Dwight Ayers, George Allen, Abraham Pinkerton, Milton Sheffreen and Albert Otto. B- — That’s certainly interesting. Well, there are a few whom you won’t have to tell me about, for the other day I stepped into a hairdresser’s and I found Leo McDonald doing marcel waving there; and just as I was going out I saw Mollie Swartz and Barbara Umlah giving Orrin Levin a permanent shave; and May Lynch was giving Jack Morison a manicure. After I got out of there I saw a big sign staring at me from across the street, “Cheap Lessons in Taxi Driving by Lee Bauer.” So when I went and heard Victor Rintels give a lecture on the art of wearing plus sixes. 80 HIHETEEH TWENTT ' SEVEN When I got home, I sat down and read through two books; the first, written by Eric Goullaud was entitled “While There’s Life There’s Hope’’ and the second one, by F. Churchill Fitts which was called “Women I Have Known.” There was another one that I wanted to read by Betty Hamilton and Jimmie Gray, I think the title was “How to Grow Tall.” Well, I mustn’t forget that I came here to have you tell me about these people and not to tell you about them. What can you tell me about Roger ' Gleason ? H. Roger Gleason is coaching the Harvard checker team with the assistance of Gordon Crosby. His team is going to meet that of B. C. next Saturday, which is being coached by “Hank” Myerson and “Mel” Levison. B. — What has become of Gilbert Ayers? H. — Oh, he and Charles Longanecker are spending their time trying to find a mistake in Mr. Case’s new tables of logarithms and trigono- metric functions. B. — And what has happened to Dick Sears? H. — He has just left for a trip to Mars with several of his erstwhile associates. Doris Collins, Eva Kaplan, Betty Hartwell, Ruth Mills, and Valborg Gustafson were all in the party. They went on Dick’s dirigible. B. — Speaking of air-craft, reminds me that Vance Macdonough is going to give a party on his new air yacht next week. There are going to be a lot of high society people in the commodore’s party; I understand that Georgina McMullen, Louise O’Day, Gladys Schoolcraft, Ralph Bates, George Cleaves, and Ben Nessen are planning to go. They are going to have lunch at the Sunkist Tea Room first. That is run by Kitty Graham and her Sunkist maidens Helen Morse, Sylvia Ruby, Naomi Sickels and Elizabeth Taplin. Now tell me something about Josephine Bennett. H. — I think she was the accompanist for Rachel Metz who was singing at Symphony Hall last night. “Dot” Sammis and “Dot” Matteson had front row seats. B. — Now tell me next what Ethel Sonnabend is doing. H. — She’s the announcer of radio station AWOL. I’ll see if I can find out what is going on there now. I’ve got it. Someone is advertising Dorothy O’Shea’s “Elixir of Life.” I think it ’s Saul Selya, he’s saying that if you use just one bottle of this elixir you will never have! anything else to worry about on this earth. Now Estelle Serber is going to announce the results of an “Ask Me Another Contest.” She says that Marguerite Lohnes and Victoria Pollock tied for first place, and that Frances Conneely, Helen Howard, and Celia Ziman would also have been winners if they had not incorrectly answered the question : “Does wool grow in wet or dry soil?” Next, Helen Toner is going to sing “When It’s Rose Blossom Time in Alaska.” The words were composed by Marian Mackie and Marion Morse, and the music by Ruth Wood and Gladys Colburn. After this, Miss Toner will sing some Mother Goose songs for the little tots. Following, there will be the “Lost and Found Department” by Edith Weierich. Well, that’s enough of that. Is there anyone else I c an tell you about? B. — Oh here’s something we left out of the paper: “Pete” Smith head of the W.C.T.U. has just appointed Jessica Feffer, Esther Goldner, Lillian Hickey, Mildred Nisson and Mary Curtin as a committee to in- 87 HIHET eeh TWEHTTSEVEH vestigate a process for removing splinters from wood alcohol which was invented by “Barney” Fahey and “Kelly” Sondheim. That reminds me, “Pete’s old friend, Eleanor MacDonald is president of the S.P.C.A. (Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Automobiles). She had Willa Rodenhiser and Marion Richards arrested the other day for over-working their Ford, but Judge Francis Hayes released them when he decided that their Ford could not really be called a car. I wonder if you can tell me any news concerning Edna Goodrich? H. — She’s the one who could play the piano by ear, isn’t she? B. — Yes, but that’s nothing. There was a boy in our class named Charles Gutman, who used to fiddle with his whiskers. H. — That must have been a very remarkable class. B. — Oh, yes, indeed, there was a girl in it named Lillian Le Gacy who invented a car that could be run on hot air. And there was another boy called “Useless” Cavanaugh who is now teaching aesthetic dancing at Mary Strickland’s Physical Culture School. And then, there is “Steve” Kniffen who is at the head of the National Woodcutters’ Union. I remem- ber hearing the other day that it was largely through his efforts that Dorothy Buxton, and Julia Ford were admitted to membership in the union. H. — Really? And who else was there in this class whom we haven’t spoken of? B. — Well, Marion Goldman, the great artist, was a member of it. She has just b een doing a portrait of the king of Jazzmania. And when she had finished it, she found that the “king” was none other than one of her old class-mates, “Pedro” Howe. H. — And certainly in this most wonderful class you must have had some athletes. B. — Oh my, yes, George Barrie who won the marathon last month, breaking all previous records was in that class; and then Ted Densmore and Ethel Lee, both of whom have swam the English Channel were mem- bers of that class too; and not only those, but Dorothy Durkee and Eliza- beth Letzing who has just completed the first trip on roller skates from San Francisco to New York also graduated in 1927 with me. H. — Really? And who else of interest was in that class? B. — Well, there say, I thought I came here to have you tell me me about these people, and not for me to tell you about them. H. — Yes, yes, now I believe there was a fellow named “Fessie” Wilder in the class with you? B. — There certainly was, what about him? H. — He’s captain of the swan boats in the public gardens now. B. — And what do you know of Agnes O’Hare? H. — She and Kay Raynor have written a book on the history of man- kind. And speaking of writing, Barbara Hagenburger and Helen Win- gate have composed a song called “We Love the College Boys.” Now who else is there that we haven’t yet spoken of? B. — Just a moment till I look over my list and Pll find some more. H. — Well, while you are doing that Pll be opening some of my mail. — Will you listen to this, it’s a circular that I’ve just received: “David Goldin 88 XIHET EEH TWENTY ' SEVEN and Edmund Hanauer, Second-hand Clothes Dealers. Used suits as good as new for half price.” And here’s another one: “Don ' t be embarrassed by having your false teeth fall out, use James Mackey’s guaranteed non-skid false teeth. We refer you to anyone of this list of satisfied users: John Lynch, Gordon Mallar, Betty Tucker, Elizabeth Kidd.” Well, let’s have another look at the crystal ball and see what we can find. Ah, I think I see a fair, — no I guess it’s a charity bazaar. B. — Oh, yes, I was down there this afternoon. Evelyn Broadhurst and Helen Kelly were selling kisses at one of the booths, and Lurena Lane was selling baby clothes for the Far West Relief in another. H. — Well, you got any more you want to know about? B. — You should read Barbara Lyon’s and Emily Nelson’s book of Etiquette Tips and you might know better than to speak in that manner. Yes, I have some more. H. — I think I’ll try and see what is happening in Brookline if the crystal ball will still work. Do you know that gold was discovered in Avery Thompson’s back yard the other day? As soon as the news got around, it seems that a crew of gold-diggers including Ruth Knapp, Mar- garet Donahue, Marion Jestings, Jessie Cameron, Edith Freedman and Doris Dunn set out to stake their claims. And there’s Harry Alexander still looking for a woman that can keep a secret. “Art” Haidi is running a Drivurself Agency. They’ve just had the town elections, and “Dick” Mul- lowney and “Jim” Humphreys have become selectmen. Immediately upon taking office they took a walk down through Brookline Village and collect- ed a few of their old friends including Charles Mclnerney, Hugh Cave, Fil- bert Sherman, and Charles Gubman to whom they gave jobs in the street department. They then found positions for Elmer Thompson and Melvin Berger on the new “Odorno” refuse trucks invented by “Bob” Wilson. Also they appointed George Prince and Leonard Reuell truant officers. B. — And what is Jessica Freedman doing? H. — Why just at present, she and David Goldman are eating lunch at Hirshberg’s Hash House. The Pollyanna Club is holding its monthly luncheon there too. Anna Maloney is the president, and Althea Thomp- son, Phyllis Rome, Charlotte Ross, and Helen Gould are all prominent members. B. — Oh, there are a couple more that you wan’t have to tell me about. Just before I came in here I saw Wilfred Elliot and James Ferguson trying to sell some cyclone fences to John Taglino and Bernard Wall, prosperous New York City farmers. And I just remembered that I heard that Estelle Lowenstein was teaching kindergarten in the African Jungle. H. — Did you hear about these “Seven Sentimental Sob Sisters,” Agnes Hicks, Grace Scott, Charlotte Salk, Julia Lombard, Jean Sprague, Grace Estle and Rose Myerson, who are pleading mercy for Norman Hall and Lester Phillips who were arrested for crashing the gate at Katherine Hutchinson’s coming out party? B. — No, I hadn’t heard about that before. But you haven’t told me anything about Alice Johnson yet. 89 K IK ET E EH TWEKTT SEVEK H. — Oh, she’s a piano tuner for the Despotes and Padden Piano Co. B. — And what about Marvin Chandler? H. — Why, he’s just going into the Blue Robin Club with Dorothy Grant. B. — I was down there the other night myself, there is really quite a crowd of my old classmates there. Marvin Egleston is the manager, and Joe Driscoll the official bouncer. And their popular orchestra, the Four Noisy Boysies, is composed of Richard Currier, Francis Carney, Gerard Lynch and Bill Misho. Beatrice Grosky does a song and dance act, and then there’s Beverly Reimer and her Twinkletoe Chorus: Phyllis Small- man, Ruth Turley, Aimee Johnson, Madeline Edison, Jennie Drago, Letitia Capers and Bessie Sriberg who give a very snappy program. Here’s another girl you can tell me about, Allie Centervall? H. — Just a moment 1 don’t — Oh, yes, here she is. I had a little trouble locating her, because she’s changed her last name. She was rescued by Fire Chief Richard Allen and three of his husky men, Joe O’Shea, Sherman Daley and Albert Forbes who carried her down four floors on a ladder. The firemen on returning to the house found her husband Sturtevant Burr still asleep in his room. B. — There’s just one last person; where’s Hunter Perry? H. — Do you mean to say you don’t know? B. — Why, certainly I don’t know. H. — What would you say if I should tell you that he is sitting right here in front of you. B. — Pd say that you are crazy. H. — Well Pm not. (Takes off false beard.) B.— For Heaven’s sake. Well Pll be . H. — Don’t say it. I know what you mean. B. — How in the world did you happen to get a job like this? H. — Oh, I just fell into it. It’s the biggest snap I’ve ever had since I left Brookline High. B. — But how do you know what to tell everyone that comes to you? H. — That’s easy. I have them all make appointments two weeks ahead of time, so that gives me all the time I need to get my information. Are you hungry? B. — Well — the Welch Brothers run the cutest little Coffee House just a couple of blocks away. H. — Let’s go. B. — All right. EXEUNT. 90 H1HET E EH TWEHTY ' SEVEH The Class Poem COURAGE Behold ! The great gate opened wide, With eager steps the Youth passed through; “I am a man, a man!” he cried . . . The Ancient answered, “No, not you.” The Youth looked up and saw afar A gleaming light where land met sky; The Ancient said, “That is the star Of manhood.” And the Youth passed by. Then Youth trudged on with weary stride Along the dark and narrow slope, Where voices screamed from every side, “Give up! Turn back! There is no hope!” Now dazzling forms were all about And Youth gazed doubtfully afar, While tempting voices seemed to shout, “Enjoy with us. Forget the star.” A second long the Youth stood still, Then took his pack and travelled by; “I’ll find the star,” he vowed, “I will.” Andlo! ’Twas brighter in the sky. Huge talons seized him in the night And sucked him down beneath the mire; Then suddenly he saw the light! His soul welled up with hope and fire. From tortured veins his lifeblood flowed In crimson torrents on the ground; He crawled in torment up the road . . . And suddenly the star was found ! For lo! The goal was close nearby, And Youth rose to his feet and ran; He reached the star and held it high, And then, behold ! He was a man ! Hugh B. Cave. 91 HI NET E EH TWENTY-SEVEN Albert Forbes Oration My Classmates: As I stand before you now, this line keeps ringing through my mind, “A Troop of the Guard Rides Forth Today.” Surely there is a significance here both deep and forceful — ‘‘A Troop of the Guard.” In all truth we are the Guard, for to us is entrusted the cherished privilege of guarding the honored reputation of Brookline High School — of holding sacred the high principles bequeathed to us by our predecessors and inculcated in our hearts and minds during the last four years by our devoted teachers. On we ride, “some to the pinnacle” — “some to the deep,” but what- ever the future may hold for us may we realize that we are Troopers of that High Cavalcade that tolerates only Purity, Truth, and Courage. Today we are feted, banners are flung wide, garlands are strewn upon our way; but let us not deceive ourselves, a grim battle awaits each one of us. We shall not always ride in pleasant places. There will be many rough spots along the highway, there will be obstacles of well nigh mountainous height. And, it is well, for only in this manner may we test our mettle. Let us press on undaunted, buckling still more firmly the armor of fortitude, realizing that : — “Life’s not a dream in the clover.” That it is: “On to the walls, On to the walls. On to the walls and Over!” In the future years may we hear high reports from our soldiers at the front. May each one of us faithfully cherish “the immortal jewel” of his soul, and as a Troop of the Guard never fail to uphold the standard of Brookline High School. 92 A [IHETEEH TW ENTT ' SEV eh 93 94 HIHET EEH TWEHTY ' SEVEH Senior Committees GIFT James Humphreys, Chairman Clarine Stevens Isabella Snow Lee Bauer Edmund Sexton Henry CLASS DAY Eric Goullard, Chairman Doris Dunn Katherine Hutchinson Roger Gleason Bertram Gleason Myerson RING AND PIN PICTURE Lurena Lane, Chairman Helen Blanchard Eleanor Smith Fessenden Wilder Ross Johnston John Evans Sturtevant Paul Meade, Chairman Le Roi Brereton Harry Healy Anna Maloney Barbara Lyon Marion Mackey Burr SENIOR SOCIAL Hunter Perry, Chairman James Gray Ruth Leventhal Alexandra Centervall Richard Sears DANCE Roger Whitman, Chairman Vance MacDonough Richard Mullowney Betty Wade Helen Wingate Elizabeth Cushing 95 96 CLASS OF 1928 HIHET E EH TWEHTT-SEVEH The Class of 1928 President, Edward Cole Secretary, Robert Marshall Vice-President, Esther Morison Treasurer, John Jewett The Class of 1928 may well be proud of its accomplishments. In all branches of the school curriculum, members of the class of ? 28 are credit- ably represented. First of all, it has excelled in scholarship, having nine of its number in the Honorary Society, the highest honor which a pupil may strive to win. The Junior Class, with eight letter men, played its part in capturing and bringing the Suburban League Championship to B. H. S., for the first time in one of the most popular sports, football. In all other Varsity sports the class has made itself felt by good work. It has had several Junior Socials and they have been worth while because of the friendly spirit which was so apparent. 97 08 CLASS OF 1929 HI HET E EH TWEHTT ' SEVEH The Class of 1929 President, Chandler Hagen-Burger Secretary, Edward Hannon Immediately after elections a committee was chosen to arrange the Sophomore-Freshman reception. Thanks to the hard work of the com- mittee, with the splendid co-operation of the teachers, it proved a success. The members of the class have been quite prominent in club activities outside the school curriculum. In the field of sport, we find the boys and girls of our class well represented. Several of our boys played an impor- tant role on the football team, which captured the Suburban League Championship. We also had representatives of the class in track, hockey, and swimming.

This class has been well represented in school activities. Eleven mem- bers were Marshals, one girl won the girls’ prize in the Prize Speaking Contest, two represented 1930 in the Teacher-Student Council, and two were members of the Court of Justice. In athletics they have made a good showing also. One was the best diver in the Boys’ Swimming Team ; a 1930 girl made the All-Scholastic Field Hockey Team which is an honor not often gained by a freshman. As the years go on the Class of 1930 intends to continue its efforts to be representative of the best in the school and help to continue its high standard. 101 102 BACK ROW, L-R: M. Abrams, D.

Three seniors were admitted in the Fall, while nine seniors and nine juniors joined our midst after the mid-year exam- inations. Only once has this number been exceeded, a fact which speaks well for our society. Alpha Pi should be the aim of every student in school, for by its mean- ing, “Excellence and Leadership,” one can understand that it is the high- est honor which can be obtained. The qualifications are based on a six- point rule, no deficiencies, and an unblemished reputation. Among our members, we have representatives of every phase of school life. Such versatility shows the diversified field of our achievements. 103 104 TEACHER-STUDENT COUNCIL STANDING, L-R: F. Glover, E. Beck, C. Hagen- Burger, Mr. Priest. P. Meade, Mr. Snow, Mr. Harbour.

The Teacher-Student Council is a representative body made up of seven teachers elected by the faculty, four students elected by the mar- shals, the president of each of the four classes, the chairman of the Board of Marshals, the athletic coach, and the dean of girls. It seeks, as its highest aim, to establish a lofty morale in the student- body, and to maintain a spirit of loyalty and hearty co-operation through- out, the school. A vigorous effort has been made this year to raise the percentage of attendance, to diminish the tardiness, and to establish cour- tesy so that it shall become a habit throughout life. The marshals endeavor to carry out the wishes of the council and are in direct control of the discipline of the school. Upon the body of mar- shals, under the guidance of the council, rests the honor and the burden of maintaining the ideal of self-disciplined institution. They have re- sponded nobly. 105 106 COURT OF JUSTICE STANDING, L-R: B. Roberts. P. Meade, E. Cole, H. Woods, C. Hagen- Burger, E. Brown. SEATED: F. Glover, C. Stevens, Chief Justice R. Whitman, R.

It passes judgment upon various infringe- ments of the school regulations. The purpose of the court is not to pun- ish, but to try to delve into the cause of the offense and thus help the misled student. The Court attempts to show the student why he is wrong and uses the honor system to correct the fault. The honor system instills self respect and honor into the student. The decision of the court is sub- ject to the criticism of the Headmaster only. Students judging each other makes for a greater sense of responsi- bility. It gives accused students a feeling that they are receiving fair judgment from a body that thoroughly understands both the student and the faculty viewpoint of a question, whatever it may be. It fosters respect for authority and raises a desire for co-operation in the heart of the student. The Court of Justice considers cases referred to it by the Headmas- ter, the Captain of the Marshals, or the Teacher-Student Council. The Court has the approval of both the faculty and the student body and is considered a very successful method of student government. 107 iWsiiiffiiiiffiS i PI I ' l ' M ' l ' M ' l i ; ! im.iiSiiirfii.ii mSm 108 THE MARSHALS HIHET E EN T W EHT V ' s EV EN Marshal Captain, Paul Meade Asst.

The Marshals are elected by the student body and comprise a force of seventy-one members, including a Captain. This force is divided into three shifts which operate consecutively. Each week, a new group is appointed for corridor duty, certain posts being assigned to the members. While at their post, it is the work of the Marshals to keep every one moving to the right in order to avoid congestion. During the absence of any teacher, a Marshal tak es charge of the class-room and is expected to be on the alert in case of an emer- gency. Lunch room duty is especially difficult and it is therefore fitting that Vance MacDonough, Roger Smith, Otis Bird and Charles Richardson should be commended for their work in maintaining order there. This year, great stress has been laid upon the scholastic ability of the Marshals, as any one who is deficient in one subject is temporarily suspended. Moreover, any act unbecoming the standard of a Marshal is also cause for suspension. The Marshals are identified by a bronze pin and an arm-band, both of which are worn at all times. 109 110 NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN The Girls 9 League and Senior Advisors 1926-27 President, Alexandra Centervall, Hope Kelsey Vice-President, Louise Brown, Pauline Miller Secretary-Treasurer, Marianna McAfee, Betty Richey The Executive Board, Chairmen of Committees Art, Lurena Lane Advisors, Clarine Stevens Athletic, Helen Navin Bulletin Board, Ethel Lee Contest, Muriel Adams Executive, Alexandra Centervall Program, Hope Kelsey Publicity, Louise Brown Secretaries, Marianna McAfee Ways and Means, Estelle Serber Write-up, Mary Reid Faculty Advisor, Miss Sawyer The program of the League has been under the auspices of outside speakers or the class. The first affair was our annual “Welcome Party,” and our membership list swelled flatteringly as a result, a compliment to the Advisors, who had the entertainment in charge. Then the Juniors entertained, and the Sophomores later: both thoroughly enjoyed the in- formal gatherings, with plays, songs, acts and features. Miss Knapp, Dean of Wellesley, spoke at a new year’s meeting. Our election meet- ing was a musicale. The spring program included the Freshmen and Senior gatherings, the latter offering a novelty in presenting the Radcliffe Glee Club. Our last affair was the Victory Party, based on points gained from Athletics and the Honor Rolls, or points lost by the Deficiency list, with the Seniors and Sophomores contending against the Juniors and Freshmen. A worth- while party, with a very good effect on one’s resolutions. The League keeps in touch with all other girls’ activities in its “Bulletin.” The thirty Senior Advisors, our most important branch, augmented by twenty Juniors, have had a complete reorganization. Four Fresh- men and a few new girls was the apportionment to each advisor; we like to feel that we introduced the aims and interests of the High School in a way that helped adjust the newcomers quickly and thoroughly to their new system. Each advisor explained every activity open to girls; she was the mentor of her “flock in a strange land.” She embodied the spirit of the League with her high standards and friendly helpfulness. To extend the League, and to make it the connecting factor between the athletic and social activities in future years is what we have been working for during our four years. ill 112 DRAMATICS STANDING, L-R: J.

Cuts and cartoons depicting the school activities have been found in every issue, features which greatly added to the popularity of the sheet. Enthusiasm for writing for the paper has been very gratifying. The list of staff-men and reporters has grown because of the ever-increasing amount of good material. Many students not connected with our organ- ization have contributed poetry, short-stories, and humor. After all, the character of a school is best determined by the opinions and ideas of its school paper. A new group is now in office, maintaining the old standards of thei paper, but at the same time, ever improving it with new ideas and new applications. We take this opportunity to thank our faculty advisors for their enthusiastic aid and interest in making a better Sagamore. 117 118 PRIZE SPEAKING STANDING, L-R: B. Jacobs, M. Bronstein, S.

It is through their efforts and earnest endeavors that each pupil has been kept informed of the various activities and opportunities offered in the school’s curriculum. They have promoted the success of the many activities, both scholastic and social, by arousing the interest and sup- port of the student body through their effective speeches. Not only do they perform a distinct service to the school, but Four- Minute Speakers develop an ability to think clearly and to speak effect- ively, an asset which will prove most beneficial in public speaking and debating.

During the first half year the entire work of caring for the school Emergency Room was carried on by the Girl Scouts. Although the head of this work is chosen from the High School Group, any Girl Scout from other troops, volunteering to give one or more study periods to help, may perform this service. Besides the regular scout work this year many other things have been done. At Christmas time rag-dolls and scrap books were made and taken to the Children’s Hospital. At Lincoln’s Birthday Celebration Troop II acted as Color Guard in the afternoon. At various times hikes have been taken to Cedar Hill, Nahant, and to a lot of woodland at Chestnut Hill where lean-tos are being constructed. The Troop is working to earn money for the scholarship which it hopes to continue this year. 123 124 DOMESTIC SCIENCE CLUB BACK ROW, L-R: B. Clapp, H. Thompson, M. Murphy, A. Murtagh, D.

A meeting of special interest was a demonstration, “The use of the Banana,” by a former chef to the King of Belgium, who was the European chef chosen to make the wedding cake for the Duke of York. At the February meeting a very successful Valentine party was held in the Domestic Science Room. As usual, the refreshments served were prepared by members of the Club. The demonstration at the April meeting was in preparation for a bread contest. The May meeting was devoted to the use of newer utensils and equip- ment. In order to be a member of this Club it is necessary to maintain the rank of “C” in Domestic Science. We feel that the Club is growing larger and every girl aims to be- come a member. Many of the girls wear the Club pins. The Club on the whole, has had a very successful year thanks to Miss Smith and Miss Jones. 125 120 XIHET E EH TWENTY ' SE VEN Phi Sigma Delta President, Lurena Lane Treasurer, Dorothy Grant Vice-President, Elvira Badaracco Secretary, Anna Maloney Faculty Advisors Mrs. Thurston Miss Parker Miss Horn The Art Club has the honor of being the only art organization in Brookline, therefore the club has tried to live up to the position it holds. Having this status we were asked to conduct an exhibit of Navajo Rugs at the Brookline Public Library, an invitation which we readily accepted. Many galleries have been visited under the direction of the art depart- ment supervisors, thereby enabling the club members to become familiar with the masters of the past and the artists of the present. Members have been unusually active this year in correlation with other departments and activities of the school, by supplying posters and cartoons for many occasions. All the competitors for the coveted Lincoln Art Medal which is given for excellence in art, are members of the club. As usual the club members, along with the rest of the department, have been working for the improvement of Brookline by making Health, Humane, Safety First, and Thrift Posters. The Art Club hopes its members profit by the excellent slogans and mottoes used in the department and thanks Mrs. Thurston, Miss Parker and Miss Horn for their efforts in behalf of the club. r BHS 127 128 JUNIOR SOCIAL COMMITTEE BACK ROW, L-R: H.

Perhaps the most pleasant result of the Junior Socials has been the establishing of a firm bond of friendship between the faculty and class members of the Committee. A new idea was adopted this year, namely, to have a much more simple and informal social. This innovation was carried out at the last one which was without refreshments and decorations. However, all who attended said that it was the best. The Junior Social Committee extends its gratitude to the four classes of B. H.

The band made a fine showing at several of the football games this season, and has also played at many of the assemblies. Our most impor- tant public appearance is on Class Day. Money has been donated for new uniforms, with which the band will be equipped next fall. It is not too late now to start learning to play an instrument.

Dosh Secretary, Alvin Weinberg Vice-President, Roger Wentworth Treasurer, Melvin Levison The Boys’ Glee Club awakened from its period of silence and inac- tivity with an enthusiasm that gives promise of making an organization of real merit. It has been, this year, among our foremost organizations. The earnest and tireless efforts of our director, combined with the hearty co-operation of about forty boys, has produced for B. H. S. a Glee Club of which it may be proud. The boys are comparatively young but they have the same spirit and grit that went to make our champion- ship football team. With this number as a chorus, together with our splendid quartet and soloist, the Glee Club hopes, not only to serve the school at its many entertainments, but also to enjoy many pleasant and profitable occasions of its own. The purpose of this club, to use the words of our constitution, is “to create and maintain a love for music among the boys of B. H. S. ; to pro- mote musical education ; and to give the boys who sing an organization in which they may express themselves in singing.” We believe we have realized our purpose. Our increasing membership shows that we have created an interest in music. The work of the club is giving the boys a knowledge of music which they would not otherwise get, and is prepar- ing them for glee club work in the future. The club drew up and adopted a constitution to govern every future Boys’ Glee Club of our school. It was adopted with the idea of making the club a binding and strong organization. A club pin, was also adopted. The notes on the staff of the pin are b, g. c, and stand for Boys Glee Club. The following are some of the events at which we have sung: Assembly, the Teachers’ Meeting, Prize Speaking, Lincoln’s Birthday Celebration, Dramatics.

After the try-outs, it was found that the number of accepted candidates formed the largest membership ever enrolled, so the usual waiting list was omitted. We continued our usual ruling: “After three absences without sufficient ex- cuse, a girl shall be dropped,” and this has proved very effective in pro- moting faithful attendance. Rehearsals have continued on Wednesdays, and although they were interrupted for a short time after Mid-Years, have almost always been held weekly. We have sung at Prize Speaking, the Christmas Festival, and the Teachers’ Club. Out of the monthly dues, we presented our customary subscription of “The Musical Courier” to the School Library. Town appropriations relieved us of the expenses of our sheet music. As a result, next year’s Club has a substantial treasury with which to carry on. To close the season, we enjoyed our traditional May entertainment. Although not a record year of social appearances, we have achieved something in our practice, and in forming the nucleus of next year’s Glee Club. 137 .. i:is GIRLS’ MANDOLIN CLUB STANDING, L-R: R.

NINETEEN TWENTT ' SEVEN The Girls 9 Mandolin Club President, Martha Hardy Treasurer, Josephine Smith Librarian, Evelyn Abbey The Girls’ Mandolin Club, started this year, with more than one-half of its membership new. The Girls’ League requested the Club to play at several meetings, and some very pleasant afternoons were spent, merrily strumming in Shailer Hall. One thing led to another, and from Shailer we progressed to the Auditorium for the Senior Social. Being more or less successful here, through the kindness of Mr. Zanzig, we were asked to play at the Fourth International Song Contest in Symphony Hall. The rehearsals for this were few but vigorous, and the audience seemed well-pleased with the result. From Shailer Hall to Symphony Hall ! That is indeed a record, and we hope that the good work of the Club will continue in the future. 139 NINETEEN TWENTY -SEVEN €,6 Le Cercle Francais President, Mary Reid Secretary, Pauline Bunshaft Vice-President, Richard Simmers Treasurer, Arthur Brettler “Le Cercle Francais” has just added another successful year to its record. Since 1918, the date of its origin, the club has been bringing France, its language, and its customs nearer to the French students of the school. Membership has always been based on scholarship and this year the standard has been raised, making the club necessarily smaller. A smaller circle affords a greater opportunity for conversation in French, which is necessarily limited in the classroom. The prograrrt of this year has been an exceedingly interesting one. The Christmas party was held as usual, with a play, “L’Initiation,” by the Freshmen, songs by Miss Henry, a reading by Gertrude Lakson, and Arthur Brettler as Santa Claus, distributing gifts. At the next meeting, Miss Henry, in costume, sang so me charming old French songs, and Edna Goodrich gave a short talk on “Mont St. Michel.” Miss O’Brien’s talk on “La Bretagne,” at the February meeting, was very well received. The activities of the year closed as usual, with the children of the grade schools coming to entertain us. After a delightful program of plays and songs by the pupils of the Lawrence, Heath, and Lincoln schools, the High School students reciprocated with an amusing one-act play, “L’ Anglais tel qu’ou le parle.” It is with great regret that the officers resign their positions, after a year of enjoyment in the French club, and they extend their best wishes to next year’s club, for all possible success. no 141 42 FIRST ROW: P.

Inci- dentally, this is the first Suburban championship Brookline has ever won. Brookline’s development was gradual. There were several veterans back, namely, R. Gleason and Jackie Morison in the backfield, together with B. Gleason, center, Myerson, guard, Woods and Smith, ends. Yet the loss of several stars left holes to be filled. The team played as a , unit, and this team play brought success. On the evening of December twenty-seven, the Kiwanis Club of Brookline tendered a banquet to the squad. It was an evening which will long be remembered by those present and especially by the letter men who were presented with gold footballs by the Athletic Association of the High School. On February second, the members of the squad were the personal ' guests of President Arthur Caulfield, at the annual banquet of the Brook- line Board of Trade. 143 rt c j C u cS u rt O X w w Vh .

The team was greatly crippled by the loss of Edward Cole, star 600 and relay man, when he was spiked at Newton. Also the runners did not have a good chance of proving their worth as both the Newton and Brockton tracks were strange to their feet. Eugene Record was brought to the fore as the star due to his hurd- ling and as the best 600 and relay man. Record ran a splendid 600 in the State meet when he was placed second after fighting his way from the rear. Other stars were George Barrie in the 1000-yard run, Bada- racco and Anderson in the 300 and relay, Chandler Hagen-Burger in the dash and broad jump, Orrin Levin in the broad jump, Captain Roy Smith in the high jump and hurdles, and Henry Myerson and Fernald Fitts in the shot-put. The team was gratified to have so many Freshmen come out as that insures success in the future.

A total of 429 points was scored by the team, while in the eleven dual meets our opponents could only get 264. Captain Lester Phillips and Martin Ford struggled for high-scoring honors throughout the season, the former finally triumph- ing with 97 4 points, 6 more than his rival. One of the features of the season was the trip to Hanover, N. H., on January 21, spending two nights at Dartmouth College, and opening the season there by defeating the first swimming team ever to represent the Dartmouth Freshmen, 38 to 24. This is one of the longest trips a complete Brookline team has ever made. The team also journeyed to Exeter, Andover, Providence, and Gardner. For the sixth successive year, the school captured the Lieut. George R. Meehan Trophy, for outscoring thirteen other schools. To show what a strong team effort this was, the only first place taken was by the relay, although eight men contributed to the total. Letter Men Martin Ford John Rae Edward Densmore S. Shikes P.

H1NET E EH TWEHTT ' SEVEK The Hockey Team Captain, Herbert Woods Manager, Robert Wilson Coach, Leo Hughes The Hockey Team of 1927 captained by “Herb” Woods finished one of the best seasons that has been enjoyed in recent years by a Brookline team. After an inauspicious start due to lack of ice, there being ice on the local rink only a few times last winter, the splendid instruction of Coach Hughes began to show and the team hit its stride, defeating Bel- mont and Stoneham on successive days. The team finished the season in a tie with Arlington for fourth place in the Greater Boston Inter- scholastic Hockey League but did not enter the round robin competition at the Arena because of an Arlington victory over Rindge in a post- poned game. The sextet won four out of nine games. Fernald Fitts Joseph Lynch Harry Fogerty Edward Makarevich Bertram Gleason Stephen Sleeper Roger Gleason Herbert Woods, Capt.

HIHET E EH TW EHTT - SEV EH Girls 9 Field Hockey Captain, Carol Densmore Manager, Eleanor Anderson Assistant Manager, Betty Richey Faculty Coach, Miss Sherman The 1926 hockey season was the most successful since the introduc- tion of the game into the school, three years ago. The credit for this improvement is due to Miss Sherman, who spent much time and energy in coaching the team. Since over seventy girls reported for practice during the season, there was enough material for class teams as well as for a first and sec- ond varsity. The Juniors again won the interclass tournament by defeating all the other classes. The Freshmen won second place, Sophomores third, and Seniors fourth. The Freshmen won the Inter-Class Field Day at the end of the season. The varsity results were : Brookline 1 Wellesley 3 Brookline 4 Needham 4 Brookline 3 Choate 0 The unusually large number of forty-eight received their class let- ters, and seventeen received their varsity letters. 155 156 GIRLS’ SWIMMING TEAM STANDING, L-R: B.

H1HET EEH TWEHTT-SEVEH Captain, Ethel Lee ’27 Manager, Helen Gould ’27 Coach, James McNamara The Girls’ Swimming Team of 1927 has so far been undefeated. With the last year’s letter girls as a foundation for the new squad, we started practice supervised by Mr. McNamara. To supplement the practice of the varsity squad four teams were chosen, each team being composed of girls from all classes. Four stu- dent leaders from the varsity group were in charge of these groups, under the supervision of the instructor of physical education. Girls from these groups competing in specified squads received their class letters. This practice continued throughout the spring term.

To start off the year the coaches tried something new. Instead of having points as a class, individual scores were taken, and the single girl with the most points won. In this meet Ruth Steele and Carol Densmore tied for first place, with 8.5 points each; Jean Morrison was second with 8.4 points, and Sarah McLeod tied with Elsie Perry for third place with 8.2 points. The second meet was an interclass, held in January. The seniors had a number of veterans, Helen Gould and Ethel Lee being the out- standing ones. The juniors had Carol Densmore, Marjorie Abrams, and Esther Morison as their representative. The freshman had Betty Richey, and the sophomores all starred for themselves, winning the meet by a safe margin, with the freshmen, seniors, and juniors trailing in that order. Then came the annual meet with Concord High School, on March 14. For three years Brookline has been victorious over this school, and the team decided that this year should prove no exception to the rule. It didn’t. Brockline won most of the events, or at least tied with Concord, until the relay, in which the rivals gave Brookline a scare, winning it by a large margin. However, the comeback was not soon enough, as Brook- line could afford to lose the relay and still have enough points to win ' the meet. The final score was 358 to 353. To end the year there was another individual meet. Mary Maher won this meet, her total score being 37 points to Helen Gould’s 35. Sarah McLeod and Elsie Perry tied for third place again with 33 points each. There were thirty girls who won their varsity B as a reward for making so many different teams. The girls who won their class letter which goes towards making the varsity B are as follows : Marjorie Abrams Rosemary Loeser Jean Morrison Mary Maher Sarah McLeod Betty Richey Ruth Steele Elsie Perry Mary Taglino Sophie Freyberg Esther Morison Marian Arnett Dorothy Dangel Harriet Dangel Carol Densmore Marie Driscoll Helen Gould Margaret Hogan Ethel Lee Dorothy Lewenburg May Lynch 159 HIHET E EH TWEHTT ' SEV EH The Chess Club Manager, David Goldman Faculty Advisors, Mr. Case, Mr. Nash Henry Canada ’28 Albert Bronstein ’28 David Goldman ’27 Ed.

All compete for a cup which must be won three times by one team in order to keep it. Next year they hope to have another cup to play for as the last one was won by Cambridge Latin. Brookline has been a member for four years. The first two years we took last place. The last two years we have taken second place. Our results for this year show that of eight games played, four were won, two tied, and two lost. -1 BHS UK) NINETEEN TWENTY-SEVEN Student Heads of Dramatics Advertising Staff 161 162 163 Of Importance •Wpibfcr ' To Younfe Men and Women — A dependable banking, connection A Leading, New England Bank is ‘The Atlantic National Bank OF BOSTON RESOURCES OVER $130,000,000.00 SENIORS Warren Kay Studio 304 BOYLSTON ST., BOSTON Class Photographer Compliments of Compliments of M.
