Brookline High School - Murivian Yearbook (Brookline, MA)

Text from Pages 1 - 174 of the 1943 volume:

RUTH DOREN Layo« Editor “i AROUHIE GOSDANIAN Chairman of Cashiers Stirred daily with the controversial issues of the Second World War the staff of the 1943 Murivian faced another controversy in its decision concerning the theme of this yearbook, — whether to stress the issue of the war in its global aspect of destruction or to stress the accomplishments of Brookline High School in its narrower held of construction. After a rational and intelligent weighing of the possibilities; after a consideration of how much more and better material MURIVIAN BUSINESS STAFF Row 1 : Goldman, Jiaras, Ridlon, Gurvitz, Glashow, Tratten, Mc- Elroy. Row 2: O. Dubuque, Manevitch, Cohen, Barr, Mr. Blanchard, Park- ins, Kessler, S. Dubuque, Whitestone. 4 newspapers and current periodicals had at their disposal to present of the United States at war as opposed to what we have concerning the 100th Anniversary of Brookline High School the staff decided in favor of the latter theme. The presentation of this theme supplemented by as much of a war tone as possible is the purpose of the 1943 Murivian. To reach our goal, to show the comparison between the Brookline High School of 1843 and 1943, many changes were necessitated and advisable in this year book, — the cover was made somber and formal by its contrast between black and white, its simple picture of the first Brookline High School and its old-fashioned lettering; the Senior pictures were framed in fancy ovals with individual writeups to help carry through the theme of how pictures might have looked in the 1843 Murivian had there been one; the atmosphere of the new building was added in the homeroom pictures to show that Brookline High School modernizes as the world modernizes. These are merely a few of our revisions. With these brief but explanatory remarks we have tried to explain to you the position of our staff. We feel that upon a careful consideration of the ma- terial within these covers you will find that for the most part you are in com- mon agreement wfith us in regard to certain aspects of the book. Hoping these introductory comments will suffice we invite you to continue your reading of the 168 page issue of the Centennial Anniversary Edition of the 1943 Murivian.

RINGER Headmaster To the Graduates of the Class of 1943: Yours is a place unique in the history of your high school. Not only do more than five hundred of you leave to take your places in the world— the largest of our gradu- ating classes — but you receive your diplomas as we observe the One Hundredth Anniversary of the founding of the Brookline High School, and many of you will add your names to the Roll of Honor like the graduates now worth- ily representing us in our armed forces in the present global war. To you we entrust the name and traditions of this school. We do so in the sure knowledge that you will keep faith with this trust. To the story of the earlier days you will add your own bright chapter, your contributions to the generation. On the contrary, your contributions to the service of your country, to the Four Freedoms, and to the new world order will carry us from the dawn of that day to the full glory of the sunshine of a greater international understanding of unity and good will based upon a brotherhood of men. Yours to accept will be the privi- leges, the responsibilities, and the obligations which the passing of what now appears to be chaos will bring to you. You will create where others have destro yed. In spite of war, of desolation, and of sacrifice you are living in the Fortunate Forties. As graduates of one of the outstanding public secondary schools of this Nation, you will not be denied the limitless opportunities constantly offered by your Mother Country. As the children of her heart and the pride of her oncoming years, as citizens of her Democracy, as bulwarks of her faith and freedom, she offers to you even now more of the best in life than has ever been her gift to preceding generations. You will see the fulfillment of what to others has often been a hope and a prayer. Your achievements have set for us new standards. We appreciate every effort made to assure our honored posi- tion of leadership. We thank each of you for the loyalty so genuinely given. Together we lift up our eyes unto the hills and courageously face the new adventures. Your faith in the best which is yet to come, and your belief in the eternal goodness in life, will strengthen you for each experience. May He continue to give to you generously from His abundance. Godspeed. Your Alma Mater salutes you! Wilfred H. Ringer. Headmaster 6 MISS MARY W. SAWYER Dean of Qirls My cordial greetings to the Class of 1943, the one hundredth anniversary class of Brookline High School! Fittingly, you are the largest class ever to be graduated here, yet many who entered school with you are already serving in the armed forces or working in essential war industries. You of course are eager to join them as soon as possible, but it is with mixed feelings that you leave the familiar school routine behind you and it is with equally mixed feelings that we see you step out into the uncertainties that lie ahead. Seldom has a graduating class faced such tremendous problems as you face today, prob- lems that you cannot solve alone, but problems that united effort must solve. In your lifetime the world has shrunk so that we must try to understand the peoples of all coun- tries and races, their history, their problems. Beyond doubt, loyalty to our own country demands a world point of view; we must have tolerance, tact, patience, clear think- ing, self-discipline, a determination to develop to the ut- most whatever talents and abilities we may possess, a willingness to give of our best for others. Our best is none too good for the task ahead. To some the future, even with victory, may seem dark, but it is the challenging opportunity of the years ahead that is of real interest: first the struggle and victory, then the years of readjust- ment and reconstruction. A new world lies before you offering breath-taking opportunities to young men and women with talent, initiative, self-control, trained abilities of all kinds. The days of the pioneers are not over, but the pioneering is different now. Far horizons beckon us onward to a future that challenges the best in us all. I hat you may have a worthwhile share in such a future is my sincere wish for each and every one of you. Good luck to you all. Loyally yours, Mary W. Sawyer, Dean of Girls 7 There have been many changes at Brookline High School this past year. Some have affected a large num- ber of us, others only a few. However, the one that we regret most deeply is the departure of ten of our faculty. And so it is with genuine sincerity and appre- ciation that we acknowledge the following: Miss Annie Burnham has retired after many years at Brookline. During her tenure, the Social Arts Curriculum was greatly enlarged, aided by her extensive interest in sewing, needlework, and related household arts. Lieutenant (j.g.) Samuel Gould’s presence has been felt throughout the entire school. As housemaster of Packard House, faculty advisor of the Dramatic Society, and teacher of English and Radio Appreciation, he has given unselfishly of himself. Miss Faith Hale resigned this year in favor of a new job as Mrs. Charles Ferguson of Spring- field. Her versatility in the many phases of Art, including the costuming for Class Day emphas- ized necessary values for our cultural side. Mr. Ralph D. McLeary, who contributed sub stantial ly to our Math Department as its head, is now Superintendent of Schools in Great Bar- rington, Rhode Island. Lieutenant (j.g.) August C. Miller ' s history classes have become a legend. We who graduate eagerly hope that future students will have a chance to know him in coming years. Miss Florence Perkins retired after twenty-two years as an unfailing member of the Mathematics Department. She is held in esteem by our faculty and student body alike. Lieutenant (j.g.) J. Newton Rodeheaver. object of many freshman crushes, has a real wan- derlust. He’s lived and taught all over the U.S. We hope, though, that the end of this war will see him firmly re-established at Brookline. Mr. Benjamin Roman, a popular member of the Latin Department and head of Vocational Guid- ance is now principal of the John D. Runkle School, where furture B.H.S. students are benefit- ing from their association with him. Private John Wall has not been with us very long; yet in his year and a half at Brookline, he has successfully met two crises, marriage and the army. We hope that the conclusion of this war will see him back with us. Mr. Alfred Webber was one of the most en- thusiastic and well-liked members of Brookline’s faculty. His teaching of Science inspired all who came in contact with him. 8 MR, RALPH W, TOTMAN Housemaster of Lincoln House DEDICATION We, of the 1943 Murivian Staff, take pleasure in dedicating this book to Lieutenant Ralph W. Totman, U.S.A.A.C., Master of Lincoln House, as a humble token of our appreciation. His sincerity, unfailing interest, friendliness, initia- tive, patience, and wisdom have guided us through four trying years. We regret that Army duties prevent our housemaster from being with us for our gradu- ation. And we join with the entire schoo l to wish him the best of luck and a speedy return. 9 The history of the Brookline High School is the story of a humble beginning and of gradual adaption to changing conditions and to increasing needs in its growth. In 1841, it was voted in town meeting that it was expedient to have a high school. In 1843, being au- thorized to go ahead, the School Committee seized the opportunity presented by vacant town property and by means of an appropriation of $300 equipped for high school use a room in the old stone town-hall removed to Sherburne Road, now Walnut Street. The tov n seems to have been fortunate in the choice of the first master — Mr. Hezekiah Shailer, a graduate of Brown University. As long as he re- mained head of the school, discipline was good and the attitude of the students toward their work com- mendable. The School Committee’s report of 1847 comments frankly as follows; — The school is well managed and orderly but unsatisfactory, and in some respects does not compare favorably with similar in- stitutions in this vicinity, because the one teacher can- not do justice to the task while he has to hear so many recitations and allot only fifteen minutes to each. Therefore, your committee recommends that there be appointed a female assistant in the High School to take charge of the girls in a separate room. The proposed change would obviate in a measure the scruples of those who object to the instruction of both sexes in the same room by a male teacher.” In accordance with the above recommendation, an assistant was em- ployed. The year 1852-53 marked the beginning of a bad slump in the High School achievement, due primarily to frequent changes in the teaching staff. The ques- tion was raised whether the High School should be discontinued as such and blended with the Pierce Grammar School in a single institution. It is in fact,” says the report of the School Committee, nothing more at present than a grammar school in which a few advanced studies are partially and imperfectly taught. Notwithstanding this discouraging report, the committee did not despair, but recommended steps to change the deplorable condition. The school was too heterogeneous; a more rigid examination for ad- mission was necessary to weed out the unfit. More- over, appreciating the truth of the old adage As is the teacher, so is the school”, it urged the payment of liberal salaries to get and keep the very best teachers. The recommendation of the School Committee was adopted. Out of blackness of despair suddenly came the dawn with the appointment of Mr. John Emory Hoar, from the high school in Cambridge, to the prin- cipalship. I his skillful teacher and remarkable char- acter began at once to help mightily in bringing about a swift change for the better. Mr. Hoar attacked vigorously the evil of irregular- ity in attendance and succeeded in awakening a public sentiment in the scholars against tardiness and absence. He was constructive in other measures that made for a better school. He called for reference books. A good library , he said forms an indispensable part of the apparatus of a high school. The knowledge where to look for information is by no means an unimpor- tant item in a man’s education.” Within two years there were in the high school library two hundred and forty volumes. In 1884 Mr. Hoar secured again the appointment of an additional woman instructor. With the approval of the School Committee, he also secured the adoption of a five-year classical course of study. This approval was only a matter of form, for the committee had recom- mended this extension of the classical course in their report of 1880-81. In July 1888, Mr. John Emory Hoar resigned the principalship after a splendid service of thirty-four years with scarcely a day’s absence in them all. His consistent aim from first to last was to combine the main features of two such representative schools as the Boston Latin and the English High Schools and so incorporate the composite results into Brookline High School that the latter institution would become the peer of any in this Commonwealth in all respects. Mr. Frederic T. Farnsworth, Principal of Bristol Academy in Taunton, Mass., succeeded Mr. Hoar. The new headmaster modified the course of study, securing more freedom in the matter of elective studies. One of the two courses was now called the General Course and the other the College Preparatory. Selections from the former fitted the candidates for M.I.T.; the latter afforded thorough preparation for Harvard and other colleges. Mr. Farnsworth remained as principal only three years. He was a strict disciplinarian and an excep- tionally skilful teacher, so successful in getting his boys into Harvard College that he earned the commenda- tion of the School Committee who expressed them- selves as convinced from the result of college exam- inations and the gratifying high scholastic standing in college of recent B.H.S. graduates that Brookline scholars can get all needed preparation in this school to enter creditably on their college or institute course.” Mr. Samuel T. Dutton entered upon his duties as Superintendent of Brookline schools in September, 1890. He brought Mr. Daniel S. Sanford to succeed Mr. Farnsworth in September, 1891. Mr. Sanford was an able man with social graces and suited in every way to cooperate heartily and efficiently with Superin- tendent Dutton in an educational new deal . 10 In Superintendent Dutton’s first annual report, doubtless impressed by the representations of Prin- cipal Farnsworth, he made a plea for a new High School building that should be the pride and orna- ment of the town, so ample in its appointments and so efficient in every department that no parent would think of sending his children elsewhere to be edu- cated.” This action was followed later by an appro- priation of money sufficient to erect a new high school building complete in all modern appointments. The external appearance of the new building which was erected in 1895 at the corner of Tappan and Green- ough Streets facing the playground was somewhat disappointing. Years afterwards an attempt was made to give the structure less the appearance of a shoe fac- tory by adding something of the beautiful in adorn- ment that the building committee had not felt justified in supplying. The decade of 1890-1900, the period of Superinten- dent Dutton’s administration, was a time of rapid edu- cational development like a spring awakening in nature. Manual training and domestic arts were re- ceiving recognition. The advanced Manual Training School established in 1894 was consolidated with the High School, and manual training and domestic science were offered as electives to all high school students. The dream of Mr. John Emory Hoar was coming true. Brookline High School was becoming a fitting school for college, competing on favorable terms with the Boston Latin Schools, for an opportunity was given to begin French in the seventh grade, Latin in the eighth and elementary algebra and geometry in the ninth. There were now four courses of study: — the classical with Greek, the sub-classical without Greek, the tech- nical, and the general. No special class of student was favored although it was recognized that prepara- tion for college carried with it a beneficient influence that tended to elevate standards of scholarship. Superintendent Dutton ended his ten year term of conspicuous service on July 1, 1900 to enter a larger field of labor in New York City. Mr. George I. Aid- rich succeeded Mr. Dutton as superintendent. Superin- tendent Aldrich undid very little that his predecessor had done. French was confined to grades eight and nine; Latin, algebra and English history to the ninth grade. On the other hand, Mr. Aldrich continually effected an enlargement of educational opportunities just as Mr. Dutton had done. As to policies, both men believed in the wise practise when vacancies in the teaching force occurred of seeking the best talent to be found in all the sections of the country so that the Brookline system might be strengthened and made more fruitful by fresh life and new ideals. In 1905 a local innovation of great import to schol- astic sports was established. Coaching was put on a parity with other forms of instruction in that the coach must be in the future a member of the faculty and assigned to some academic department. In June, 1905, Headmaster Daniel S. Sanford, after fourteen years of notable service, left Brookline. Mr George P. Hitchcock came from the Pratt Institute. Brooklyn, New York, to take Mr. Sanford’s pla c. Some years later the same institution called him back to be vice-chairman. During his administration the commercial course was established. This department was lodged at first in the manual training building but shortly, when the municipal gymnasium was com- pleted and the high school students went there for their physical training, the equipment of t his new course was transferred to the main academic building and occupied the two large rooms in the semi-basement formerly used as gymnasia. Mr. Winfred C. Akers, headmaster of the high school in New Britain, Connecticut was the choice of the School Board for a worthy successor to Mr. Hitch- cock. The decade of 1909-1919 was marked by steady increase of numbers and prompt recognition of suc- cessive educational needs as they appeared. The High School building first occupied in September 1895 was designed to provide adequate accommodations for six hundred pupils. In twenty years the school had grown to six hundred sixty-nine and twenty-nine teachers. In May 1919, much to the regret of the teachers and citizens of the town, Superintendent Aldrich resigned and was voted the title of Superintendent Emeritus, an honor bestowed neither before nor since upon a holder of this office. His successor, Mr. Oscar C. Gallagher, took office in October 1919. Superintendent Gallagher introduced into all the schools of the town a course in money management. Penny savings had been in- stituted in 1891, but was confined to the grades below the high school and was continued successfully for many years. While systematic saving was again made one feature of this new course, a comprehensive treat- ment of wise spending, giving, and saving character- ized the instruction in economic education. By the year 1920 an increase in the number of pupils to nine hundred twenty-one forced the town to plan for additional space in the accommodations. At the town meeting in March 1921, large appropriations were made for an additional story for the Manual Training build- ing, for the purchase of land in the rear and adjoining the High School lot, and for the erection of the first section of a big new plant to be connected with the main High School building and to be constructed unit 11 by unit as growth of the town necessitated. Material improvements were not, however, the chief gains made in the administration of Headmaster Akers. Changes for the better in the inner life of the school constituted a far more real and discriminating cause for congratula- tions. Besides the several musical organizations such as boys’ and girls’ glee clubs, mandolin club, life and drum corps, band and orchestra and the more numerous supervised sports of all kinds for both sexes, there were other student enterprises no less valuable, among them, to name only a few, the school paper — the Sagamore — the year-book, later called the Murivian, school drama- tics and the girls’ league. Mr. Akers saw organized sports that came into the school life during the headmastership of Mr. Sanford approach their highest development in his term of serv- ice. They had multiplied among both sexes until the boys had, with the exceptions of polo and wrestling, all the varieties of contests found at Cambridge, including a crew on the Back Bay; and the girls all but one of the varieties of feminine sports practised at Wellesley, in- cluding Lacrosse, archery and horse-back riding. Furth- ermore, Brookline High School graduates, owing to their expert training in their preparatory days, supplied not infrequently captains and star athletes for the foot- ball, baseball and track varsity teams of Harvard, Yale and Pennsylvania and for a score of smaller similiar in- stitutions as well. In June 1930, owing to ill health, the beloved and venerated Mr. Akers resigned from the headmastership of the school and in the following year for the same reason Mr. Gallagher from the superintendency. Mr. Ernest R. Caverly, Headmaster of the Brookline High School for the year 1930-31, whose administrative abil- ty had impressed the school committee, was appointed the successor of the latter and Mr. Wilfred H. Ringer, for ten years successful principal of the Gloucester High School, was picked to take the place of the former. The rapidly expanding high school enrollment had now reached a total of seventeen hundred students and ninety-one teachers. The town rose to the exigencies of the situation by making a prompt appropriation of two hundred eighty-five thousand dollars for the erection of a second unit of the extensive plant for the whole of which the architects had drawn plans. Without delay ground was broken and construction begun to provide additional class rooms and new enlarged laboratories for all branches of science. After the Roberts auditorium was built and there was no longer need for Shailer Hall for desk room and study periods, the question how to make the best use of the old assembly hall became pertinent. This was satis- factorily answered when federal funds became avail- able to remodel and redecorate the old auditorium and transform it into what was probably in respect to spaci- ousness, utility and beauty, the finest high school li- brary in existence. This unfortunately was not long enjoyed, for hardly had it been furnished and put to use before it was involved in a ruinous fire that broke out in the afternoon of September 25, 1936. Before the flames and smoke could be brought under control, the interior of the main building was so seriously dam- aged that the school committee felt that the expendi- ture of a large sum of money in rebuilding a forty-year old out-of-date plant was unsound from an economic point of view. Therefore the grand old building, as firm as the rock of Gibraltar, was with difficulty taken down and the present south and central sections of the quadrangular plant erected. One last unit remains to be built to provide two superimposed gymnasia, additional classrooms and enlarged science laboratories whenever the time is ripe for the completion of the architectural whole. There is no question but that the Brookline High School plant will then be a fitting and practical memo- rial of the generosity of the tax-payers and of their firm belief in the value of the finest educational equipment. The Brookline High School has kept faith with the citizens of the town and justified large expenditures by the quality of its work. This was never better than in the last decade if we may trust the evidence of the scholarship records kept on file in the school office. Brookline graduates not only do remarkably well in the College Board examinations as the results published in the annual school reports reveal , but maintain a good rank in college. That fact is proof that their prepara- tion was thorough, that a broad, firm foundation had been laid by their whole training in the Brookline schools, and that habits of industry and the will to learn had been ingrained. It is yet too soon to appraise the contribution toward winning the second world war that the Brookline High School is making. At present, the endeavor is to main- tain a balance between the demands of the national emergency and the basic needs of education for life in time of normal peaceful conditions. Teachers and stu- dents are adjusting themselves heartily to the exigencies of war, responding to every call for preparedness. The High School buildings have been freely made available for all sorts of courses, not only for the older boys and girls in the junior and senior classes to fit them for em- ployment in national defense industries, but also for hundreds of men and women from metropolitan Bos- ton who are being fitted by the regular manual training instructors to do work assigned to them by federal agencies. The High School is meeting intelligently and in a spirit of fullest cooperation its new obligations imposed by the transition from peace to war without, however, neglecting those things in education that are indispensable for the building of the post-war world.

HELEN BAKER Though Blondie’s ambition is to be Tommy Mansville’s private secretary, she will probably settle for a job at the Watertown Arsenal.

DEBRA ALLMAN Dorothy, or Debby, as she is known to her public, is a delightfully out- spoken young lady, whose quips and witticisms are known to many.

Debby’s also very good at art, but do not think that this young lady ' s talents begin and end with art. Her special skills in other activities are legion.

FRANK HARRINGTON Frank can be seen miles away when he has one of those loud ties on. Unfortun- ately though, he won’t be half so dis- tinctive next year, when he exchanges those screaming plaids for the compara- tively conservative maroon and gray stripes of the M.I.T. freshman tie. Be- sides Science, F.D. is interested in loafing or a reasonable facsimile thereof, and seeing fires. Track 3, 4; German Club 1, 2, 3; Boys’ Club 1, 3; Choral Reading 1; Li- brary Staff 1, 3, 4; H.

After four years in our hallowed halls, she still wants to make school at 8:14 (of course, she ' s just joking). Dancing, eating and sleep- ing fill her life full over with fun. She desires very much to be like Helen Mc- Elroy but just being Betty isn ' t so bad. Girls’ League 1, 2; Red Cross Rep. 1, 2, 3, 4; H. R. V. Chm. 2, 3. GLORIA J. HURWITZ Gloria is the only girl this person has found who declares that her suppressed desire is to shrink. Aside from this phe- nomenon, Gloria follows the accepted pattern that makes up a B.H.S. female. Gloria goes in for Miss Nichol’s History classes in a big way. Her future plans are expressed in the one word, ' ' college”. Archery 3; Science Club 4; Girls’ League 1, 2, 3, 4.

Even though his pet peeve is looking for lost golf balls, Jim’s always ready to make up a foursome for 18 holes. With all his interest in golf he still manages to find tune for his favorite subject, Chemistry which interest probably arose from try- ing to change to irons from brassies. JEANNE MORRILL HERWITZ Jeanne wants to be a success in life — - even though she hasn ' t any future plans. She has one chief failing, though — Mr. Friedland could probably explain it more eloquently — while frothing at the mouth.

DAVID NADEL One who has it in for Commando Training, is Dave, who hopes to enter the Army Air Corps. Dave wants to fly because his chief failing is speed. He’ll even take a horse.

Her record at the High School has been nothing short of outstanding, and her efforts on the pep club and as a cheer leader have done much for the B.H.S. spirit . . . something which is sadly lacking.

We knew we had four years of education ahead, but beyond that, we knew nothing. With the advent of December 7, 1941, condi- tions changed. New classes developed; in short, B.H.S. went to war. Between September, 1939 and June, 1943, there lies a story — a story of a transition from peace to war. THIS ABOVE ALL Above all — we wanted truly democratic student government. To insure this, we elected competent officers in our Freshman year. As a result of the Lincoln House Constitution, drawn up by these officers, the platform of high ideals in student government on which the Senior class now stands was established. Setting a precedent in B.H.S. political history, Lincoln House adopted the use of the voting machine in preference to the secret ballot formerly employed. The following are the Lincoln House officers for 1939-1943- Going from President, to Vice President, Secretary, Treasurer, and Representative to the School Council: 1939- 40: Ray Barnstone, Arthur Quinzani, Robert Abrams, Irving Gould, no Repres- entative. 1940- ' 4l: Ray Barnstone, Arthur Quinzani, John Cox, Irving Gould, Jane Rickwood. 194l-’42: Fred Smythe, John Cox, Robert Abrams, Helen McElroy, Jane Rickwood. 1942-43: William Troy, John Cox, Robert Abrahams, William Jacobs, Ruth Gordon. Graduat- ing Class: William Troy, Richard Dalton, Evelyn Kirrane, Helen McElroy. OUR HEARTS WERE YOUNG AND GAY As must come to all in their third year, we made our debut on May 22, 1942 at the Junior Prom, which was held at Driscoll Hall. Dancing to the music of Baron Hugo ' s Orchestra, we reveled at our first social at which Ray Barnstone was General Chairman. This gala affair motivated a more splendid occasion which was forth- coming. On May 28, 1943, the Senior Prom, under the direction of Norm Fink and Bob Cusick was held, once more at Driscoll Hall. It was within these halls that the class of ’43 celebrated its last formal social gathering — an occasion to be remembered by all for many years. THE STARS LOOK DOWN In our Freshman year, Marilyn Morrill and Bert Rabinowitz entered Prize Speaking. Still prominent in this contest, Lincoln House boasts of Beverly Shlager, who won the award in her Sophomore year. Mel Gordon also competed as did Leonard Horwitz, both of whom received honorable mention. Jim Barnet represented the Class of ' 43 when we were Juniors, and during our graduating year Eddie Sostek, Shirley Orenberg, Frank Lowenberg, and Mickey Markell took part. Among the graduating candidates we had three winners — Eddie Sostek in Declama- tion, Shirley Orenberg in Original Selection, and Frank Lowenberg win- ning in Extemporaneous Speaking. In the first group Mickey Markell attained honorable mention. In fields other than dramatics, we likewise excelled. Zalman Davlin won the coveted Lincoln Medal in 1942. In the same yea r Frank Lowen- berg and Mary Silvano won the J. Murray Kay Essay Prize in History and Mickey Geller was awarded the Harvard Book Prize for the all- around lunior. In 1942 Bert Rabinowitz took over the Sagamore as Editor-in-Chief and Norm Fink became business manager, with Flo-Harriet Tavlor, news editor; Janice Saklad, circulation manager; Rosalyn Long, adver- tising manager; and Jane Rickwood, feature editor. Other journalists of whom we are proud are Zalman Davlin, Editor-in-Chief of the Murivian, and his editorial assistants — Ruth Doren, Stan Weinstein, Betty Ann Orlov, and Norma Johnson. The business staff was headed by Parouhie Gosdanian, Stan Davis, and Marion Lovell. The Honorary Society had seven Lincoln House members when we were Juniors, and during the Senior year, we increased our number to twenty-two. Bert Rabinowitz became President of Alpha Phi with the greatest number of points, and Nancy Peabody filled the position of Secretary-Treasurer. Lincoln House is proud of the four members who were chosen from history classes to attend a Post-War discussion at Milton Academy — Frank Lowenberg, Flo-Harriet Taylor, Suzanne Pisko, and I.eonard Horwitz. Still another honor was conferred upon one of the ’43’s. This was the Boston Herald Prize given to Claire Wilson for the book-report sub- mitted to its judges. THE ROARING FORTIES Surging ahead Lincoln House gained control of two of our leading language clubs. Bea Bernstein became president of the French Club in her Senior year, replacing Ray Barnstone who had upheld our house laurels as vice president the previous year. In an effort to establish the high position of excellence and esteem it had maintained in years past and suddenly lost on account of B.H.S. students’ lack of interest, the English Club elected Flo-Harriet Taylor as its president and Janice Leventall as its secretary. They were not disappointed. Flo’s interest and loyalty were prevalent throughout the year and the English Club owes her many thanks for the unusual and original activities she super- vised. Of significance among these is the literary contest which aroused enthusiasm through the school, even to having the themes of the win- ners published in the Sagamore . Among these Lincoln House claims two, Mickey Geller and Marilyn Morrill. Heading the club having the largest membership in school, versatile Ev Gorfinkel was President of the Girls’ League, with Ellie Arnold, her trusted assistant, as Secretary. Spurred on by the officer’s ceaseless aid and leadership, and to supplement local defense units, the Girls Aux- iliary was founded, headed first by Janice Saklad and then by Jackie Fishel. Among its accomplishments the Auxiliary can boast of making hospital dressings, of having served in the Volunteer Hospital Service, in the sale of War Bonds and Stamps, and in Settlement Houses and Playgrounds. Incorporating the Mercureans in the Dramatic Society, this organ- ization became one of the largest and most powerful ones in the school, with the help of Norm Fink as President, Mickey Markell as Secretary, and Mr. Gould as Faculty Advisor. Taking advantage of one of the Society ' s most successful years in its history, many Lincoln House mem- bers took part in the three productions of the year — Murder in the Cathedral , Stage Door, and The Taming of the Shrew. Working his way up in the ranks A1 Goldberg became President of the B.H.S. Chess Club. Prominent among its members is another Lin- colner”, Macey Feingold. If you ' re ever around the library on Friday afternoon you can usually see some busy students engaged in some thought-twister-move against Huntington or some other private or public school. Head of one of the most helpful organizations in school is Virginia Eldridge. She is one of the many who has helped us to find that certain book we needed for history, or sent us a slip day after day for that over- due book. (Since there is a paper shortage, or was, we beg forgive- ness.) Blessed with many talents Ruth Wecker has shown her organizing ability in connection with the Red Cross during the past year. When Jim Barnet left B.H.S., the Boys’ Club looked to Dick Gilbert to take over. He did, capably, and advanced Boys’ Club bicycle trips, bowling teams and ping pong tournaments. In Leonard Horwitz we find not only Lincoln House proficiency in history but also profound interest in science. Any one of the Science Club ' s members will vouch for the fact that Len has done an excellent job, aided by Ed Rudnick ' s stimu- lating programs. Not only can Bud Rabinowitz claim the title of President of Alpha Pi, but, helped by Zalman Davlin and Flo Harriet Taylor, Boys’ and Girls’ Moderators respectively, he has also done his best to stimulate interest in interscholastic debates. On the first team are five Lincoln House students — Stan Weinstein, Sid Furst, Dick Gilbert, Frank Lowen- berg and Dave Skvirsky. The aforementioned winner of the Harvard Book Prize, Mickev Geller, has also distinguished himself as Captain of Marshals, assisted by Hazel Simpson, our Drum Majorette. Mickey was equally forceful as prosecuting attorney of the Court of Justice. We all kept our turkey dinners waiting while we watched Captain Tohn Nason lead our football team which was victorious over Newton for the fourth successive year. Mary Ross and the other spirited cheer- leaders cheered the team on to this victory. It is fitting to mention here that Tohn was also captain of the base- ball team and Chief Tustice of the Court. Other senior sports’ captains were: hockey, Joe Gulley; basketball, Robert Mahoney; swimming, Tustin Walsh: track, Kenneth Schneir; and golf, Dennis O’Leary and Walter Murphy. Two more honored female members are Nancy Lane, Chairman of Senior Advisors, and Hank’’ Pulaski, Chairman of the Pep” Com- mittee. THE TURMOIL We spent these four years with a fair amount of security, becoming more mature American youths. We have tried to take advantage of all the opportunities offered us by our Alma Mater — to gain social and political poise as well as a balanced formal education. When we were Freshmen our High School career seemed doubtful, but now that we have reached this one small goal, the future is even more questionable. Now we are going on to college or business — per- haps — but more likely on to aid our Country. May we prove our worth! ELEANOR ARNOLD EVELYN GORFINKEL EDWARD SOSTEK STANLEY D.

View from Corey Hill — 1943 View from Corey Hill — 1854 81 DR, ARTHUR W. ROBERTS DR. ARTHUR WELLINGTON ROBERTS Dr. Arthur Wellington Roberts, was born in Cambridge, the son of Benjamin and Louise Roberts. He prepared for col- lege at Cambridge Latin School and entered Harvard in the class of 1881. He graduated with A.B., A.M., and Ph.D. de- giees, being the first person to receive a Ph.D. for two years work. His first teaching experience was in Cincinnati, Ohio, where he spent two years at the Hughes High School. He later went to Philadelphia to teach at the Williams Penn Charter School. He stayed there until 1900, when he left to become head of the Classical Department at Brookline High School. He was forced to retire in June, 1926 because of ill health, and he died a year later, at the age of 67. Dr. Roberts devised the outdoor Class-Day program for the High School, the observ- ance of which was curtailed last year because of the war. This program made Brookline High the only one in New England to have such an elaborate Class Day. In recognition of his great contributions to Brookline High, Roberts Auditorium was named in his honor. ROBERT: ROBERTS HOUSE High up at the greatest altitude of Brookline High, affectionately called the ’penthouse” by its citizens, dwell the scant group of students who proudly bear the name of Roberts House. Due to the leadership of their friend and advisor, Mr. Albert Seamans, the students of Roberts House have been leaders in school affairs for a good many years. Many wearers of the red and blue band were also from the penthouse.” Led by Warner Dalzell as floor captain, the marshals consisted of the following as well as the house officers: Ruth Smith, Alan McLaren, Grace MacDonald, Jaquelyn Watt, Charles Shapiro, Sonya Gorden, Irving Pfau. Keeping the House of Roberts well represented in sports were the following: Johnnie Nason, cap- tain of football and baseball; Ray Blue, Jerry Hor- witz, Denny O ' Leary, Ed Madden, and Johnnie O’Leary. Not satisfied with simply keeping Brook- line represented in the Eastern Mass. Hockey League, Johnnie Nason, and Denny O’Leary earned them- selves places on the Eastern All-Star Hockey Team. Thus the remaining members of the once popular Roberts House did themselves proud in their final year among the hallowed walls and traditions of Brookline High School.

LINCOLN On December 3, 1925, the town of Brookline lost a leading citizen in the death of William H. Lincoln. I his man, for whom the senior house is named, is probably best known to the school at large as the donor of the prize speaking medals. He was born in Boston and received his education at English High School and Chauncy Hall. In his first job he was a clerk in his father’s shipping office. For a number of years Mr. Lincoln was President of the Brookline Savings Bank, and upon his retirement was made a trustee. Although in his later years, it was necessary for him to give it up, he was very interested in municipal and civic affairs, the local schools in particular. He was a valued member of the School Committee and was also active in the Park Commission. Mr. Lincoln’s interest in schools is shown by the fact that he not only did a lot of work on the Brookline School Committee, but, because he was also a member of the corporation of Massachusetts Institute of Tech- nology, and a trustee of both the Episcopal Theological School in Cambridge and Weilesley College. His philanthropic incli- nations led him to donate a fund for the purpose of assisting needy parents to keep their children in school. The class of 1943 is extremely proud to be members of a house bearing Mr. Lincoln’s name. LINCOLN HOUSE LINCOLN HOUSE The second war-time graduating house is facing a world of uncertainty. Gone are the prospects of a very carefree four years at college, not only for the boys, but also for the girls, who are discovering that many colleges are closed or partly given over to the several branches of the women ' s service. Not content to wait for graduation, many fellow house members felt the urge to do their part and enlisted in the armed forces. Not to be outdone by the students, Mr. Totman, the popular housemaster, who has done much in furthering the democratic principles of Brookline High, has received a com- mission in the Army Air Corps. Taking its cue from Mr. Totman, Lincoln House has done its best to further student government. With Bill Troy, President of the School Council, and Mic- key Geller and Ruth Gordon, also members, the Lincoln House Council has been able to bolster the School Council with suggestions for improvements which have been accepted and put into practice. The Marshal Force, headed by Mickey Geller, Hazel Simpson, and Frank Harrington has efficiently en- forced the School Council’s decrees. 1 he backbone of every athletic team this year was Lincoln House. Our boys have gone forth and vanquished (usually) the foe on the football grid- iron, baseball diamond, basketball floor, hockey rink, tennis court, and running track. They are now ready for their anticipated Army career of the near future. OFFICERS — CLASS OF ’43 Row 1: Mr. Totman; Bill Troy, Pres.

AKERS MR. WINIFRED C. AKERS Mr. Akers, who was born in Andover, Maine, received his preliminary education in the Andover schools and then entered Wesleyan University, from which he was graduated in 1893, Phi Beta Kappa. He began his teaching career in Quincy and subsequently taught in the high schools of Providence and Som- erville until 1899, at which time, he took on the job of head- master of Holyoke High School. After filling this position for four years, he became headmaster of the New Britain (Con- necticut) High School, where he was located for ten years. At the end of this time, he was elected headmaster of Brookline High School and was the administrative head for seventeen years, resigning the post in 1930, because of failing health. He was a leader in civic affairs and the communal life of the town and also prominent in activities pertaining to education. Long one of the outstanding educators of the country, he died on Sunday, February 28, 1937, at the age of 72. His stalwart sin- cerity, his insistence upon high standards, and his sympathetic understanding of the problems that face young people, were con- stantly felt, not only in the school, but also in the community and educational groups throughout the state. AKERS HOUSE AKERS HOUSE Two years ago, many people predicted that the Akers class of 1944 would be one of the best in the history of not only the house, but the school. So far it has not failed to come up to expectations; and this year, as in the past, the members of Akers House have excelled in both scholastic and extra-curricular fields. The honor roll always carries the names of Akers House students such as: Alan Alpern, Albert Feldman, Ernest Horne, James Leslie, Ruth Cline, Miriam Haskell, Theodora Lehrer, Dorothy Gold- stein and Alice Aeschliman. After over a year of rehearsing and overcoming obstacles, the full production of The Murder hi the Cathedral , directed by Mr. Flemings, was staged and was a huge success. The chorus was made up of Akers House girls, and most of the principles were chosen from the masculine body of that house. Akers House was well represented in the held of sports, with Junior Jim” Noonan, Bob” McPhee, Kent Tice, and Alden Mills, to mention only a few, carrying the name of Akers into battle. Many of the girls have been active in the Girls’ Auxiliary, the war service committee of the Girls’ League; while the League next year is to be under the leadership of Anne Meehan as President. Once again, floor captain Jim Leslie keeps his marshal force alert and efficient at all times. Akers House, with its own constitution is gov- erned by the House Council, which is composed of the house officers and the home-room representa- tives.

PACKARD DR. JOHN C. PACKARD Born at Bourne, of an old Cape Cod family, Dr. Packard at- tended Sandwich High School and Wilbraham Academy. He graduated Wesleyan University in 1886, with an A.B. degree, summa cum laude. He taught science at the East Greenwich Academy (Rhode Island) from 1886 to 1890, when he became sub-master of Brookline High School. In 1924, he changed his position from sub-master to the head of the Science Depart- ment. His long and valued service to the school was recognized in 1932 by the inclusion of a completely modern laboratory unit designed by Dr. Packard and equipped under his supervision. It was later dedicated as the Packard Laboratories by a vote of the School Committee. In 1935, a signal honor was accorded him, in recognition of his completion of half a century of teach- ing service, with honorary degrees of Master of Arts by Wes- leyan University and Doctor of Science by Tufts College being conferred upon him. He died July 9, 1939 in his 8U year. Many years before his death, however, he had become generally appreciated as an authority on matters pertaining to all branches of science. His service in this field of education had been out- standing. Dr. Packard was the inventor of the Packard Inclined Plane and had been the President of the New England Asso- ciation of Teachers of Physics. PACKARD HOUSE PACKARD HOUSE Packard House entered its second year at Brook- line High School in full stride, taking an active and important part in all High School activities. The home room chairmen, together with the house officers constitute the Packard House Council. Pack- ard House has an unusually hue group of officers. The job of the president was ably filled by Reuben Adams until he left school this year. And then one of the rare instances in school government of a vice- president actually becoming president occurred when Marjorie O ' Brien succeeded to the presidency. Ruth MacDonald is secretary and Herbert Broner is the capable treasurer. Members of this house have been very active par- ticipants in both athletic and non-athletic organiza- tions of the school. Football, track, basketball, and tennis have all been engaged in by the sophomore boys, with the girls equally well represented in arch- ery, golf, basketball, and swimming. In the less vigorous, but equally important activi- ties such as Sagamore reporting, Dramatics, and De- bating, the members of Packard House have done their part. This group, in keeping with their freshmen achievements, have attained a high scholastic stan- dard. They are doing their best to live up to their motto, Aim High.’’ OFFICERS — CLASS OF 9 45 Row 1 : Franklin, Mr. Holland, J. Spier. Row 2: Cohen, H. Broner, R.

WILLIAM H. SHAILER REVEREND WILLIAM H. SHAILER The Reverend William H. Shailer was born in Haddam, Connecticut, November 20, 1807. His early life was spent in teaching, and in pursuing a course of study before entering Wilbraham Seminary. He afterwards entered the institution at Hamilton, New York, now known as Madison University. He graduated in 1835. He studied at the Newton Theological Seminary for nearly one year; was in control of the Literary In- stitute at Suffield, Connecticut; and was ordained at Deep River, Connecticut, on February 26, 1836. His labors at the First Baptist Church in Brookline began on September 1, 1837. He was always deeply interested in the work of education, ren- dering invaluable service in the public schools. From 1839 to 1854 he was a member of the School Committee. The First Baptist Church of Portland, Maine, called him to service in December, 1853. He was pastor of that church for nearly twenty-four years, and he died in Portland, February 28, 1881. In November, 1895, at the time of the dedication of the High School Building, the assembly hall was called Shailer Hall in his honor. Fire in the fall of 1936 destroyed Shailer Hall, but the house which carries his name will perpetuate the memory of this great man who contributed so much to the welfare of his community. SHAILER SHAILER HOUSE With Sept. 2, another bewildered horde of Fresh- men entered the halls of B.H.S. The transformation from the gawky, starry-eyed freshmen of the fall, to the poised and self-sufficient freshman of the Spring is an annual phenomenon, but for all that, it happens just once in a student’s lifetime. This year it is Shailer House that boasts such a group of boys and girls. The students of Shailer House have made great strides forward. Its members have taken a part in all school’s varied extra-curricula activities. In Freshman football especially, Shailer House made an unusual showing with Dana Estes, Dick Lee, Richard Web- ber, Harold Moffie and Agimi all showing unusual ability. Others were more interested in the non-athletic outside activities such as dramatics and Sagamore reporting. Shailer House, too, has not been deficient scholas- tically, having an unusually large number of students on the honor roll. The freshmen started their career at Brookline under the guidance of the very popular Mr. Samuel Gould. Since then Mr. Gould has joined the armed services. The Navy’s gain is the school’s loss and the students all wish Mr. Gould a speedy return. In the meantime Shailer House will fare well under the expert leadership of Mr. Wendell Smith, their new housemaster. OFFICERS — CLASS OF 9 46 Row 1 : R. Wexler, Mr. Gould, MacDonald.

Among these is the establishment of War Time Production Training in the Manual Training building for boys and girls interested in obtaining war jobs before and after graduation. Originated three years ago as the National Defense Curriculum for boys only, the program has been greatly revised since our change from a neutral to a belligerent nation. Its scope has been considerably widened and a course for girls has been added. The boys started by working fifteen hours a week. However, their time now has been increased so that each boy works thirty hours a week on one of the three shifts into which the hours from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. have been divided. On December 28th, the girls program started. They began in the right spirit by giving up Christmas vacation and since then have worked for a mini- mum of thirty hours a week. As soon as they were broken in on exercise pieces they went into actual production work for war factories. A few girls are em- ployed full time now and although they have left school early, both they and the boys will receive their diplomas in June.

In spite of this inexperience, the Red and Blue took over Law ' rence 13 to 6, using the T formation for the first time. Injuries and a peculiar ailment began to plague the team, weakening it considerably. In the midst of this trouble we were soundly beaten by Water- town and Quincy. Sparked, however, by the brilliant and inspiring playing of Capt. Johnny Nason, later named by the Boston Sports Writers to the All- Scholastic Eleven, Brookline rose to great heights to tie mighty Weymouth, unbeaten in her last three seasons. The Brookline boys then proceeded to beat Somerville and Framingham and tie Fitchburg. Showing unexpected strength, Belmont ended our little streak. Going into the traditional Newton game very much the underdog, the Downesmen pushed a hitherto unbeaten Newton team all over the held and came up wi th a stunning 6 to 0 victory. This was our fourth successive victory over Newton, a new record. Although seven players graduate this year we may be very thankful for the regulars who will be back as a powerful nucleus for Coach Downes. J. V. FOOTBALL Like most of Brookline ' s other sports teams, the Jayvee football squad had its season considerably shortened. It played only three games, beating Boston Trade School 7-3, losing to Newton 4-2, and beating St. Sebastian 1 4- 1 In spite of this short schedule, Mr. Ball, the Jayvee’s coach, made sure that his boys got plenty of practice. They scrimmaged every day at the held with the regular varsity. As the season progressed, several boys advanced from this intermediate group to the varsity. The team was managed by Borton Katz, Norman Tarlin, and William Ward. Graduating seniors who received their letters are George Rochfort and Louis Sternburg. FRESHMAN FOOTBALL Although our freshman team did not enjoy a perfect season it has shown some very promising material for Brookline ' s teams of coming seasons. The team won two games, beating very strong Somerville and Needham teams. They tied Dedham, and lost only to the Trade Jayvees and to the Newton High Sophomores. All of the backheld has been good with Dana Estes, Dick Lee, Jack Agimi, Charles Webber, and utility man, Harold Mofhe doing the outstanding jobs. Webber has been the major line plunger, while Mofhe has shone equally on defense. Estes has called the signals, Dick Lee and Jack Agimi have come in with plenty of hard and tricky running. Other exceptional players are Connolly and Coyne, two frosh who show a great deal of ability. These boys all have plenty of potential power and again it can be repeated that if the showin g of the freshman team is any indication of what Brookline will have next year, the Red and Blue will be one of the real threats in school- boy football. Mr. Fitzgerald as freshman coach has done a grand job. 116 i [j, ji; 113 Jm ■ a AS At 4 JflH Pf J k, 1VJ ir«i yf ✓ 4 pi . . 11 H n a IB — Row 1: Tice, Cook, Sexton, Nason, Capt. ; Cusick, Emerson, Keith.

Its purpose is to give the boys who engage in football a chance to hear out- standing sportsmen and obtain much important information on sports. Mem- bers of any of Brookline High’s football squads, freshman, J.V., or varsity, may be members. It is interesting to note that the Touchdown Club is the only sports organization in the school. In keeping with this position, the club took a very active part in the selling of tickets for Kaarina, the operetta given last year which raised the money for our band uniforms. Last year the Touchdown Club sponsored the highly successful Sports Dance. The club has its annual banquet at the end of each year, at which famous figures in sports and other speakers are guests of honor. The entertainment consist of talks by these guests and the showing of moving pictures. This year under the capable direction of its officers, the club has had meet- ings at which Faculty Advisor, Mr. Downes, coach of our team, and Denny Myers, great coach of Boston College, have spoken. HOCKEY This year the Brookline High School Hockey team finished third in the Eastern Massachusetts League. Such a showing is not bad for any year, but this year, with many of the boys taking defense jobs in the afternoon and Saturdays, thereby cutting down greatly in their practice, it is a really com- mendable feat. We lost only to Wakefield and Natick, beating Malden, Lexington and Somerville. We evened the score with Wakefield and tied Hudson, Malden and Dedham. Brookline placed a record number of players on the Eastern Massachusetts All-Star Team. Joe Gulley, William Ernst, Dennis O ' Leary, Jack Phillips, John Nason and Walter Murphy all made the team but Dennis O ' Leary, undoubtedly the best goalie in the League, received a tough break in only being placed on the second All Star Team. As large a factor as any in the success of our team was the excellent coach- ing job which was accomplished by Mr. Hartigan who just rounded out his second year as Hockey Coach for Brookline. TRACK This year our track team showed itself to be weak in field events and strong in running. Our cross country team showing unusually high calibre, defeated Belmont decisively. In other meets our running was consistently superior and enabled us to defeat Malden, Medford and Dedham. We fared better at the state meet this year than we did last, with a final standing of 15th in the entire contest. Bob Mcllveen was the first Brookline man to finish. The first five Brookline men to finish in the meet were Saul Beck, Ralph Brunelle, Floyd Dean and David Bar r. All were in the first 50 with 150 entrants running in all. Our indoor season reflected our weakness in field events, but the excellent running of sprint star Charles Johnson and the middle distance running of Captain Ken Schneier, John Ellis, Floyd Dean, Donald Gibbons, Kent Tice and Ralph Brunelle brought us through to victory on several occasions. Our successes this year are due once again in no small measure to the popular track coach Mr. Harold Bucky Bates, who keeps after the boys until they are in top condition for the meets of the season. 118 Row 1 : O ' Leary, Winn.

It began with football teams and now seems to be applying equally well to baseball teams. Starting with some very fine material Mr. Downes has molded the raw talent into a very efficient team whose smoothness increased as the season progressed. A very prominent lad of great ability is Joe Capodilupo whose excellent fielding and hitting is something to watch. Big Paul Mullins has proved him- self to be a real find in the pitching department as has Roy Gustafson. Also showing far more than average ability are Ralph Collins, Rubin Loy, Jay Larson, Dick Johnson and Dave Kaplan. With the tough schedule such as the J.V.’s had this season, victories for our side have been really hard earned accomplishments indicative of a very superior collection of players. Boston Trade, Rindge Tech, Cambridge Latin, Jamaica, and Somerville J.V.’s provide our kind of competition. The J.V.’s of today are the varsity stars of tomorrow; so it is with real optimism that we can look forward to the baseball seasons to come. VARSITY BASEBALL Mr. Litzgerald’s charges had a very full schedule this season. Games were played with Cambridge, Waltham, Watertown, Wellesley, Rindge Technical, Arlington, and of course our traditional rival, Newton. The constant daily practice is what makes a disorganized group of athletes into the smooth efficient machine that is able to earn consistently once the season begins. Outstanding in the squad are Raymond Blue, Jerry Bonnelli, John Conroy, James Carson, Joseph Gully, Jerome Horwitz, Milton Lewis, Robert McPhee, James Noonan and Captain John Nason. Joe Gully has wielded a very potent bat that is most respected by opposing pitchers. On the other hand Milton Lewis has handicapped enemy batters all season by his blinding speed and tricky curves. His success is due in no small measure to catcher Jerry Herwitz’s clever handling of his pitchers. Captain Johnny Nason has been an important cog in the machine with his timely batting and fielding. James Noonan is another all-around player who comes through consistently in a pinch. COLL Possessing unusual talent this year the Brookline High School Golf Team played its first match, looked up to by many as one of the state’s leading aggregations. The team was co-captained by Dennis O’Leary and Walter Murphy. O ' Leary is one of the longest hitters that B.H.S. has ever possessed. Walter Murphy has shown his ability by winning the school championship for the last three years. The third and fourth positions were held down by William Ernst and John Raftery, lads who have shown much ability. The fifth and sixth shots went to Bill Smith and Dick Guillette. Bill Horton, maintaining seventh spot, is not only a fine putter but also a very steady hitter. This com- bination was expected to hold its own against any opposition. The team was coached this year by Mr. Woodlock who hoped for a good showing by the team in this, his first year as its coach. Mr. McDonald who was last year’s coach now works in a defense plant; his coaching was missed by the basketball team as well as the golf team. 120 Row 1 : Smith, Schalgg, Pearlstein, Mills, Milnes, Kirrane, Larson.

It was necessary to have four swimming en- gagements canceled because the opposing teams had lost so many of their top men to the armed forces. Thus the three outstanding Brookline High School swimmers, namely Captain Justin Walsh, Don Bernstein and Walter Bui 1 it, were not given a fair chance to exhibit their graceful form in the pool. Most of the boys on this year ' s team will have another chance at it next year, since few are veterans and will be back for at least another year. In the Brown Interscholastic Swimming Meet, the Brookline High School Mermen were quite successful. Walter Bullit, whose speed and graceful form is something to admire, won the two hundred yard freestyle race with no ap- parent exertion. The fifty yard butterfly breast-stroke race was won for the Red and Blue by Don Bernstein. Next, the relay team struggled through to capture the fourth place in the Medelay race in which eight other school teams participated. So the swimming team completed another successful year, that might have been even more successful had it not been for those unavoidable set-backs which we hope will not interfere next year. TENNIS Beginning his 12th year as coach of the B.EI.S. Tennis Team, Mr. Donovan A. Barnes looks forward to a highly successful season. Returning from last year’s state-championship team are two veterans, Myron Sharaf and Murray Levin. These boys will form the nucleus of this year ' s group. Continuing his tradition, Mr. Barnes held a tennis tournament this year. The inevitable struggle between Sharaf and Levin climaxed this year’s tourney which was won, after a hard fight, by Mr. Levin. The potential third spot is held by A1 Alpern who is backed up by such aces as Bob Harrison, Bill Jacobs, Mort Selin, Harold Ross and Ray Barnstone. This year we play an unusually large number of private schools which include such schools as Milton Academy, Rivers School, Browne and Nichols and Huntington. Also we have been invited by Harvard University to com- pete in the New England Interscholastics. Under Mr. Barnes’ able supervision, this very outstanding team should bring glory to B.H.S. BASKETBALL This year the fates seemed to have banded together to plague our basket- ball team. Early in the fall a fire, started by spontaneous combustion, damaged the main Gym so badly that it could not be used for several months. During this time the boys had to get all their practice in the entirely inadequate small basketball court in the basement. Just when the long-suffering basketballers were about to leave their temporary quarters for the renovated Gym, a second fire broke out which set back their plans another few weeks. This great hindrance to the team’s practice, coupled with the fact that no varsity veterans from former years remained to form a nucleus for the team, made this our poorest season in years. Our only victory was that which we gained over Arlington by a close 28-26 score. The bright side of the picture can be found in the fact that many of the year’s varsity members will be back, so that Coach Grinned will have an able and experienced squad to work with during the coming seasons. This is Mr. Grinnell’s first year as coach and all agree that despite great handicaps he has done a fine job of molding a basketball team that in future year will lead the League. 122 Row 1 : Sexton, Granath, S.

This program was partially solved by playing the private schools in and around Brookline. On account of this, their season was greatly shortened. However, in spite of a brief schedule, the girls were still able to get in the same amount of practice as in past years. Under the coaching of Miss Norma Allen they played the Windsor School and beat them 2-0. Repeating the same type of fine playing the following week, they beat the Choate School team 8-1 . To finish up the season they were invited to participate in play-day at Beaver Country Day School. Here the Jayvees shared honors with the varsity team by winning several games at the meet. The team itself was an excellent one and congratulations are in order. A great deal of their success can be attributed to Captain Gundy” Kirrane, whose spirit and enthusiasm stirred the Red and Blue to an undefeated and untied season. Not to be forgotten is Manager Barbara Doyle, who, besides doing a great job of managing, was one of the team’s top-notch players. GIRLS’ TENNIS Existing war conditions have greatly interfered with girls’ tennis. No longer do they have time to spend at Dean Rd., for most of the girls are now- engaged in w-ar work of one type or another. In spite of this obstacle there is still some tennis playing and on a bright day the courts are filled w ' ith energetic girls. Plans for interscholastic matches have also gone by the boards. At any rate the courts are alw r ays open and all interested girls are invited to come and play. GIRLS ' GYM TEAM The girls’ gym team is one of the most interesting sports groups in the school. It prides itself on its unique set-up, as it is an entirely voluntary affair, originated and carried on by a few energetic and enterprising girls. Officially, it does not exist. However, the girls who belong are so devoted to exercise that they meet every day after school and put in hour after hour of hard work, stopping only w r hen they are so completely exhausted that it is an effort to sit. Consequently, their exhibitions are the talk of the town and attended by no one knows how many. All applicants for positions on this team are referred to former members, because another of the gym team’s characteristics is its exclusiveness: no one but the members know ' anything about it. 126 Miss Allen, Doyle, Kirrane, Ross, Simpson, Maclsaac, Lane, Watt, Parks, McElrody, Sisk, Kel- ley, Kendrick, Morrison, Aeschle- man.

It is their aim to establish student government in a stronger position than it has been in the past and to define their authority in order to make a more efficient government for the students. The foremost problem which the Council has faced this year concerns the condition of the lunchroom. For a long time there has been a careless abandon evident among the students eating in the lunchroom. Papers, dishes, and even remains of personal lunches are strewn around the floor and on the tables. Working in cooperation with the Marshal Force, the Council is en- deavoring to remedy this situation. The five faculty members representing the live houses lend dignity and stability to the Council, while the presidents and the representatives from each house contribute the students ' viewpoint and ideas to the meetings. COURT OF JUSTICE The Court of Justice acts as the judicial branch of Brookline High School’s student government. It passes final judgment on all cases over which it has jurisdiction and which have been brought to its attention by the Marshal Force. The motto of the Court of Justice is Let the punishment fit the crime” and they attempt to live up to this. Fifteen cases have been brought before them and in every case the defendant has justly been found guilty. The charges have varied from smoking to disregard for lunchroom regulations. The punish- ments have been devised to fit the misdemeanor, except in serious cases where expulsion or probation has been recommended. In the courts of our land, the jury — the body which does the actual de- ciding of guilty or not guilty — is composed of men and women, fellow-citizens from all walks of life. This makes for a better understanding of the problem at hand and therefore a fairer judgment. Our Court of Justice not only has a jury of students but the justices also are members of the student body. The faculty members form an advisory group — nothing more. Faculty Advisors Miss Allen Miss Nichols Mr. Weeks Mr. Bates Mr. Mather ALPHA PI Although there are innumerable organizations of different kinds at Brook- line High School, Alpha Pi has the distinction of being the only society which has as members students with widely varying interests, and the only society which bases admission on scholarship, personality, and achievement in extra- curricular activities. Thus, a goal is set forth to the ambitious student; a goal which when attained, brings not only personal satisfaction a nd heightened pres- tige, but also does much to help prepare a student for future life. The letters Alpha Pi are Greek, standing for excellence and leadership, summing up the necessary qualifications for admittance. Excellence in studies, and leadership in school activities determine the number of points for each applicant. The new members are enrolled twice a year: in spring and fall at a very 1 impressive auditorium period. All the members are present to greet the initi- ates. Mr. Ringer reads the names of each candidate and the number of his points. Then as the proud newcomer steps forward, Mr. Ringer presents him with his pin, symbol of a fine achievement. Again like no other organization in school, the officers of Alpha Pi are determined by the number of points a member has earned. The president and secretary-treasurer are the two highest ranking students in the group.

Mr. Bates MARSHAL FORCE A good government, from necessity, must appoint certain people as agents to enforce law and order, and to prevent possible infractions. The Marshal Force here at Brookline is our way of designating those agents. This should not imply lawbreakers, however. They merely need guidance. This year the Marshal Force is faced with a problem which must be met and solved or it might result in the end of all student government in Brookline High School. This problem is concerned with the lunchroom, which has been the sore spot of the school for a longer time than we care to remember. The faculty has finally decided to hand the job of cleaning up the lunchroom to our Marshal Force, which has been handed similar jobs in preceding years with great success. Other duties, not so significant or troublesome, with which the Marshal Force naturally concerns itself, are guiding parents to different rooms on Parent’s Night, and maintaining logical conduct and traffic in the corridors of the school. However, whether their duties are of little or great significance, the marshals of Brookline High are a credit to the school and students who elect them. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Because of its interesting and varied programs, the French club appeals to a majority of the French students. For every meeting there is a planned program, something that both teacher and student will enjoy. Each one has a main feature that has taken a good deal of preparation. That this policy is worthwhile is evident in the continued and increasing attendance of its members. At the first actual meeting this year the junior French cla ss produced a play, Les Deux Sourds” which was accepted with great enthusiasm by the audience. Their interpretation of the play was exceptional. Their pro- nunciation of the French language was excellent. To lead the group in French songs, the Club was fortunate in having Mrs. Hazel Henry Jewett as guest singer. Mrs. Jewett, a former member of the B.H.S. faculty, has contributed to other French Club programs. The Sophomore French Group took over the April meeting. They enacted three plays: ”Au Cinema , Nous Verrons”, and Une Cliente Difficile . The plays met with great enthusiasm. President Secretary T reasurer Refreshments Publicity Faculty Advisor Beatrice Bernstein . Julian Rothblatt Dorothy Goldstein Diana Segre . Francoise Zigera Madame Wilkinson ENGLISH CLUB The highest goals of the English Club have always been to instill in its members a hardy respect for their native tongue, and to propagate the seeds of creative instinct. Toward these two goals the club set its course again this year, and the results achieved surpassed all expectations. The most interest- ing meeting of the year was that at which the winners of the annual contest in creative writing were announced. Instead of being limited to English Club members alone, the contest w as thrown open to all members of the three upper Houses; and the excitement was intense as Mrs. Pinansky, representing the judges, announced the three top winners and six honorable mentions. Because of the difficulties in procuring means of transportation due to wartime restrictions, the customary trip to the Wayside Inn was abandoned in favor of a tour to Widener Library at Harvard College. Accordingly, a group of enthusiastic members convened on the steps of the library, and in the custody of a guide pored over ancient manuscripts and volumes and heard recordings of Hamlet and Murder in the Cathedral in the library ' s famed poetry room. The joint meetings with the Library Staff, always an enjoyable event, and several lectures completed the Club’s varied program. President Secretary-Treasurer Program Chairman Refreshment Chairman .

There were several meetings which were held in the American way rather than in a fashion that had any resemblance to the club meetings of former years. The Fine Arts Theatre had no German films that could be visited by a group, and trips to the Cambridge museums were voted out on account of the impossibility of car transportation. However, there were some get- togethers where interesting moving pictures were shown. For a matter of records there were fourteen club members this year. For the spring there is an outdoor meeting planned again at Hammond’s Pond. EL CIRCULO ESPANOL Students of Spanish in their Junior or Senior year, or Sophomores who receive a grade of A or B after the second quarter, are rewarded with an invita- tion to join the Circulo Espanol. The chief aims of the Club are to promote conversation in Spanish, to further an understanding of South America by lectures and informal speeches, and to set forth general goodwill among the members. Because of the long winter vacation this year, it was impossible to hold the annual Christmas meeting; so plans were laid for a special meeting in February at which the traditional game of pinata and the induction of new members was held. Along with the inductions goes the custom of having each new member repeat the club’s pledge and add his name to the list of members; but later, after a few songs and jokes in Spanish, all formality and shyness give way to Latin-spirited fun and cordiality. Each meeting is planned a month ahead of time by the Junta Directiva, a board of directors composed of the officers of the Club and four nominated members. At these discussions, which are held in English, the program for each meeting is planned with the ever-present idea of making it thoroughly entertaining and enlightening. President . Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Faculty Advisors Adolph Cavallo Henrietta Pulaski Joan Gurvitz Lillian Sagik Miss Wood, Miss Placido SCIENCE CLUB The field of the future is expected to be Science. The students of Brook- line High School are well aware of this and so they are taking advantage of the opportunities offered by the Science Club. With its roll swelled to over one hundred members, for purposes of convenience, the club, this year, divided into four groups; Chemistry, headed by Edward Bies; Biology, headed by Mary Duhig; Geology, headed by the popular president, Leonard Horwitz; and Physics, headed by Gardner Richards. Although these divisions represent only a few of the many phases of science, they are the four in which the club members have shown the greatest interest as, with the exception of Geology, they are all taught in school. Linder the direction of Mr. Hall, who has replaced Mr. Webber as faculty advisor, many successful trips have been taken. The club has continued its practice of having outside lecturers, generally former Brookline students now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. A most interesting lecture was given by former student, Merton Hubbard, who spoke on The Spectrum in Chemistry”. The club also encourages its own members to talk on subjects interesting to the groups as a whole.

Allen ' Lookout for the bishop. ' You can’t do anything with the king that way! Checkmate. Anyone hearing these w ' ords might well be surprised. However it’s only the Chess Club in action! And this year it has seen plenty of successful action. The Brookline High School chess teams have copped top honors this year. They have won all their matches, defeating Boston Latin School, Roxbury Memorial School, Cambridge Latin School and the Huntington School. This has won them the championship of the Greater Boston Chess League for both teams, a feat which has never been accomplished before by any high school in the history of the league. In addition, Alan Goldberg w r as elected president of the league, and Alan Alpern, another Brookline boy will succeed him. The Chess Club is open to everybody, both girls and boys. Whether you already know anything about chess or not. Miss Allen and the senior members will be glad to teach anybody who has a desire to learn this fascinating game. The members of the tw ' O teams which have had such wonderful success this year are Alan Alpern, Myron Sharaf, Alan Goldberg, Julian Leavitt, Nor- man Lorie, Macey Leingold, Harmond Harvey, Jacob Mades, Richard Berko- witz, and David Markus. POSTER CLUB The Poster Club has endeavored this year to do away with all unnecessary posting of signs throughout the school buildings. This has made for much neater looking corridors and rooms, along with giving more space and emphasis to important subjects. The notices and advertising designed by the members of the club have been most attractive. The club meets every Tuesday. The first Tuesday in each month is devoted to special programs, which are either social or educational. Some of the more interesting programs w ere visits to the Art School, exhibits, and special speakers. On the third Tuesday of the month there are work meetings w ' here every- body designs or paints current posters. And sometimes when it is necessary, very brief business meetings are held. The Poster Club conducted a War Stamp Contest for the members of the club. Each participant submitted one poster for the promotion of the sale of war stamps and bonds. The first prize w ; as $3.00 in stamps; the second was $2.00 in stamps. Many thanks are owed to this club, for besides having fun among them- selves, they have substantially aided the school.

Miss Horn PEP CLUB One of the most recent organizations to be established at Brookline High School is the Pep Club. This organization has as its goal the building up of school spirit within the student body. The club is accomplishing this by sponsoring and planning rallies before all big sports events, such as football games. Organized and sponsored by the Pep Club, the Cheer Leaders have helped to spur the Brookline High teams on to victory at many an engagement with other schools. The Cheer Leaders have also done much to aid in the promo- tion of the rapidly waning enthusiasm of the students who support the teams, since a lack of support can only lead to a collapse of all interscholastic sports at Brookline High School. This was pointed out to the student body by two eminent speeches from the alumni association at the annual pre-Thanksgiving Day Rally, in preparation for the traditional New ' ton game. The next day our boys went out and w ' on that game for Brookline, to show everyone why B.H.S. cannot drop sports and will not drop sports.

Membership has in the past been limited to only those who received high grades in the Speech courses. Now the society is open to any individual interested in its various functions. After individual auditions, a file, classifying every member is made, to be used by the directors of the Society’s endeavors and also by any other organization which might find need of experienced thespians. Murder in the Cathedral, the choral reading play was the first of its kind to be presented by B.H.S., and, under Mr. A. Flemings’ direction, it was put on in a free performance, sponsored by the Dramatic Society. The famous Broadway hit, Stage Door was presented in the late fall, star- ring Elaine Maltzman. Eleanor Lewenberg and Frank Kimball handled the business end under Mr. Wendell Smith ' s advice as they did for the third presen- tation of the society, The Taming of the Shrew, given on May 7. Mr. Flemings and Mrs. Hennessey took over the director’s task when Mr. Gould was called for service. It is hoped that the excellent work of the Society will continue despite the problems which existing war conditions present. LIBRARY STAFF The Library Staff followed an extremely interesting program during the first semester. At the September meeting the staff was organized and in October had the pleasure of hearing as guest speaker, Madame Wilkinson. During Book Week, Nov. 15-21, they presented the well-known Mr. John J. Cronan, of the Boston Public Library. Claire Wilson, of the Library Staff, was selected from many contestants to deliver her prize-winning book review over station WEEI Nov. 24, on the program, Of Books and Victory” by Mrs. Alice Dixon Bond, literary editor of the Boston Herald-Traveler. In December the Victory Book Campaign was launched. This worthy drive to collect books for men in the armed forces surpassed all expectations both as to the quality of the books and the quantity. Miss Olga Owens was the guest speaker at the annual meeting with the English Club in March. Miss Owens, former literary editor of the Transcript, is now editor of the Boston Post’s book section. She delivered a very stimulating address on Books as the first line of Mental Defense. The staff decided to conclude the year with the March meeting because of lack of time. President ........

The savings program for the entire school system, under the direction of Mr. Tyler Kepner, was changed at the beginning of the school year to help the war effort more and the general efforts of peacetime less. The general excellence of our record, under the direction of our faculty advisor Mr. Blanchard, resulted in the coveted Minute Man Flag being flown from our masthead for the months of January, February and May. Fractions of a per cent were responsible for our failure to obtain the award for March and April. Many homeroom numbers could be recorded for their consistent attain- ment in both the quantity of buyers and amount of stamps purchased. Week after week many teachers and housemasters deserve awards for excellence for records of outstanding accomplishments. The informal but competent spirit with which transactions are handled by the organization is in itself representative of the Democracy for which America Fights!

Without the aid of the Red Cross an incalculable number of lives would be lost because of insufficient supplies and facilities. Our school, realizing the great need of this organization, has responded magnificently. On October 14 a most successful auditorium period was held to begin the drive. Much of the success of the Red Cross is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Friedland, faculty advisor of the group. For the past seven years Mr. Friedland has cooperated with the organization giving his time and effort to the benefit of the club. In recognition of his invaluable aid he has been presented with a Red Cross insignia. Despite the fact that there is a war going on, there are still an appalling number of people here in our own community who are in need of aid. For several years bundles of food and gifts have been prepared on Thanksgiving and Christmas to be given to worthy families. This year the Cooking, Sewing, and Art departments in cooperation with the Girls’ Feague have assembled these baskets to be distributed where they are most needed. The Red Cross has not slacked in its duty and Brookline shall not slack in supporting it. GIRFS ' FEAGUE The Girls’ Feague, now numbering 750 members, is completing its twenty- second year of promoting among the girls a spirit of good fellowship and loyalty to each other and to the school.” The regular meetings have been fewer because of the war, but, as usual have been sponsored by the girls of the different Houses and by the large standing committees. The Vocational Talks committee has provided speakers on war-time opportunities in nursing, dietetics, Red Cross activities, secretarial work, and the science fields. All meetings seek to bring out student talent. The Christmas Workshop, the Thanksgiving meeting, the Mothers’ Teas were all war casualties. So was the Annual Supper Party which became a very successful afternoon Victory Picnic in the Feague Room. New, also, was the enlarged program of the Girls’ Auxiliary, the war service committee which now organizes student volunteers for war work of all kinds. The Senior Advisers, the H. R. Representatives, the Fost and Found, the Executive Board (meeting at 7:45 A.M. once a week), share in the responsibili- ties of developing the broader program the Girls ' League is carrying on as its part in the war effort. President Vice-President Secretary T r easur er BOYS’ CFUB The Boys’ Club was founded with the twofold purpose of enabling boys not on varsity teams to engage in the sports they enjoy, and to make available activities not a part of the school’s regular extra-curricular program. Since Edwin Frank, so ably advised by Messrs. Flemings, Friedland, and Seamans, organized the club in 1939, the first organization for boys compar- able to the Girls’ League, it has grown a great deal in the extent of its activities, the quality of its special programs, and the number of its members. The bowl- ing club which has proved so popular, functioned very successfully again this year. The bicycle group with Uncle Art” Fleming in charge, has taken many interesting trips, and looks forward to seasons of even bigg er and better trips. Ping Pong, stamp collecting, and baseball all have been engaged in by the members of the club, interested in those various activities. Again this year the Boys’ Club has offered very worthwhile programs in Roberts Auditorium in- cluding speakers, movies, quiz shows, and refreshments. Much credit for this successful Boys’ Club season goes to the club officers who have worked hard along with the Faculty Advisors to make this year the best yet for the Boys’ Club.

The orchestra, under the expert leadership of Mr. Joslin, very often livens up many an otherwise dull program. In February of this year the Orchestra played for the exclusive pleasure of the upper houses. The feature of the program was the first movement of Schu- bert’s 8th Symphony, also known as the Unfinished Symphony.” This is one of Shubert’s best works and the B.H.S. Orchestra gave a remarkably fine rendi- tion of it. Tchaikovsky ' s ’’Sleeping Beauty Waltz,” also a favorite among music lovers was played. To end up a thoroughly charming program, the Orchestra played Carl Friedeman’s Slavish Rhapsody.” Every year at Prize Speaking the Orchestra plays, and at all Dramatic Society performances it plays before, after, and during the performance if necessary. The most important occasion in a Senior’s school career, graduation, is made more memorable by the presence of the Orchestra. There is no restriction on the membership. Anyone can get in, that is, any- one with talent and ability. There are no formal auditions, except of course, if there are too many erstwhile musicians all playing the same instruments. The most common case of this is piano students. The Freshman House Orchestra often possesses hidden talent. It’s not hidden long though, for Mr. Joslin makes unofficial visits to rehearsals and picks out likely talent. ORPHEUS ENSEMBLE In 1935 the Orpheus Ensemble was conceived and born. Any outstanding member of the Orchestra is allowed membership. Merit has been and will be the only membership fee. For this reason membership has always been small, with this year ' s group numbering only 13. So far, in the eight years of its exis- tence sixty members of the Orchestra have become Orpheus players. Interest- ingly enough, every winner of the Holtzer Music Prize has been a member of the Orpheus Ensemble. This year, because of a number of unavoidable incidents, generally related to the war, the Ensemble has not been so busy as it has been in previous years. They did play, however, for the entertainment of the Brookline Women’s Club, the Brookline Rotary Club, and the Massachusetts School Masters Asso- ciation. The members of the Ensemble are generally picked by inspection ... Mr. Burbank’s inspection. But when, as in the case of students playing the violin there are too many applicants for one position, the students go behind a curtain and the Orpheus members themselves pick out the best player. The Orpheus Ensemble meets on Wednesdays and it was established pri- marily for students who take their music seriously. Concert Mistress ....... Florence Cooper Faculty Advisor Mr. Burbank BAND What keeps the spirits of the loyal B.H.S.ers keyed up to their customary emotional pitch at all football games? What organization is practically indis- pensable at patriotic gatherings or parades? There is only one — our Band, led by Mr. Joslin. Their services, which in former years were limited to holiday festivities, have been extended because of the war. Last December the Band performed in a parade for the Brookline Civilian Defense Council. The members of the Band played at the dedicatory exercises of the Honor Roll tablets which were placed in front of the Brookline Public Library on November 1 1 of last year. Also, the Brookline Citizens Committee asked for, and received, their aid in giving the Brookline boys, who were leaving for duty with the Armed Services, a cheering send-off. The Band played for them in December, March and May. The day when William Dawes rode through Brookline to warn the people of the advent of the British, while Paul Revere rode through Lexington and Concord, is also celebrated with the support of the Band. Every April 19, Patriot’s Day, the B.H.S. Band plays for the green-clad Dawes.” 144 Faculty Adviser Mr. Joslin Faculty Advisor Mr. Joslin 1 : Bies, Macey, Goldman, Johnson, Peabody, Stone, Kramer, Wolper, Cappers, Stahl, Hackel. 2: Harvey, Harrison, Long, Mr. Joslin, Tratten, Burt, Cooper, Odabashian, Zighera. 3: Bloom, Speyer, Fleisher, Cline, Sherman, Segal, Ruskin, Shain. 4: Lustig, De- laney, Raphael, Parkins, Edmunds, Lander, Small, Kassman.

Flo-Harriet Taylor The Debating Society, one of the oldest organizations in the High School, serves a noble purpose. It is a haven for all the school’s frustrated Daniel Websters and Stephen Douglases. Here you can talk at great length without being interrupted, expound all your pet theories on the state of the world, etc., without being contradicted (until later) and in general develop your lung power. Meetings are held once a month with five major debates during the year. The varsity team, made up generally of senior debaters, visits various public and private schools around Boston. While the varsity is out winning laurels, the others form teams among themselves and debate intramurally, in prepara- tion for future varsity encounters. Present conditions being as they are, there is naturally a tremendous held from which to choose the topics for debating. All of these are current problems of one sort or another. One of the best debates of the season was with Browne and Nichols — Resolved, that there be Federal Supervision of Secondary Edu- cation. CHORAL READING Choral Reading first began as a class conducted by Mr. Arthur Flemings. This was ten years ago. Since then it has been developed as an extra-curricular activity and has been classified as such for the past five years. The Choral Reading group, still conducted by Mr. Flemings, had twenty- four members this year, all of whom were required to take a part in the pro- ductions to retain their membership. This year they produced Murder in the Cathedral by Thomas S. Eliot, a modern, poetic version of the murder of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas a Becket, in the year 1170 A.D. The cast consisted of a chorus of sixteen girls and eight principal male characters. Apart from this production, the group has participated in many audi- torium periods, at which they have presented selections from the poetry of Stephen Vincent Benet, James Whitcomb Riley, Arthur Guiterman and Robert Browning as well as passages from the Bible. These renditions received much favorable comment from the students and faculty, and the Murder, as it is affectionately called, was received with great praise by the general public. From the success of all of its performances, we have but to expect, that Choral Reading will be continued in the school and with as good results as in the past. STAGE AND ELECTRICAL STAFFS Much of the success of the Dramatic Society ' s productions this year, may be attributed to the excellent work which was done by the Stage and Electrical Staffs and the Committees on Costumes and Properties. This was especially noticeable in the production of Murder in the Cathedral in which the superb lighting effects helped to set the various moods of the different scenes. The costumes, which were designed and made by the Art Department under the guidance of Miss F. Horn, were typical of the time. The properties for the play, though few and simple, were well selected, sturdily constructed, and expertly arranged. Stage Door presented its problems, too! Maybe you remember what seemed to be the simple act of lighting up a room from what appeared to be a wall switch? Actually, three electricians were needed to throw several big switches back-stage simultaneously and on cue from the director, in order to attain the proper effect. Problems such as these make the Stage and Electrical staffs attractive to the neophyte when he watches them work. Also think of all the fun those stage-hands must have, clambering along the catwalks over the stage and bombing” those below, and locking the electrician in his iron cage! Oh, yeah! 146 Stage Manager Bill Heller Chief Electrician Alf.x Strashun Assistant Stage Manager . . . Jerome Bartzoff Assistant Chief Electrician . .

Vocal music is by no means an innovation for, as Mr. Snow says in his report, Hardly had the high school had time to get well organized in the year of its inception, 1843, before the School Committee recommended that vocal music be taught by a competent singing master. They claimed that most desirable results would follow for they said, ' Music, wherever it had been introduced into the public schools, had been productive of the most happy results, exerting a beneficial influence upon the intellect, taste, morals and physical constitution of the young; it improves the heart, promotes good feeling, pure taste, refined sentiment, cheerfulness and good order.’ Although choral singing doubtless failed to prove the cure-all that is implied in this category of good etfects, certainly it justified its presence in the early curricula sufficiently to be retained one period a week for many years.” The Choral Society is scheduled to sing on June 10 at the celebration of the 100th Anniversary of the School. GIRLS’ VOCAL ENSEMBLE The Girls’ Vocal Ensemble is a smaller and more concentrated group than the Choral Society. The best singers from the Society are chosen for the Vocal Ensemble. They sang this year for the Brookline Teachers Club. The Vice Consul of Costa Rica was the eminent guest speaker and the group sang a collection of South American songs in his honor. The Vocal Ensemble sang at the production of the Dramatic Society’s Taming of the Shrew.” Their repertoire includes Elizabethan songs. The Girls’ Vocal Ensemble began four years ago in 1930. Plans had been made for the Ensemble to broadcast over the air this year, but, as with many other peace time activities, this idea had to be shelved for the duration.” The idea of bringing the voices of the Vocal Ensemble to the general citizenry via the airwaves is decidedly an innovation, one which will not be forgotten. When the Office of War Information no longer needs their time, the schedule will go through. President Faculty Advisor CAMERA CLUB Starting their successful season under the guidance of Mr. Webber, who has since left the faculty of Brookline High School, the Camera Club conducted many outings and trips which, to the delight of the members, proved to be most interesting and entertaining. Linder the council of Mr. Hall, the shutter- fans held several contests among themselves with undisclosed winners, who, for reasons of modesty, prefer to remain in a state of anonymity. Since the size of the club has fallen oft slightly in recent years. President Luster Delaney strove to make the organization more inviting to new mem- bers. He accomplished this by attracting the neophytes, the inexperienced owners of Brownies and Kodaks, and pinhole cameras, and instructing them in the finer use of their inexpensive, but nevertheless effective equipment. Many members will profit by what they have learned in the club; in per- sonal enjoyment for what they have permanently captured on film; possibly in the armed services of the United States where many experienced men carry on important and necessary work in the field of photography.

For the first time the exhibition was divided into three sections: declamation, original selections and extemporaneous speaking. This brought new vitality and interest to the occasion. Each candidate tried out for the section in which he felt him- self best-suited. A winner was selected for each of the three divisions. In the declamation, Edward Sostek, a newcomer this year to Brookline, won top honors with his moving delivery of a selection from ]ohn Brown’s Body by Stephen Vincent Renet. Shirley Orenberg, another newcomer, was judged the best in the original selection group. She told My Story. In the third division, Frank Loewenberg, speaking extemporaneously on A Confedera- tion of Europe, won. Honorable mentions were awarded to Myron Markell, Theodora Lehrer, and Florence Cooper. SAGAMORE For fifty years a deep-rooted tradition of Brookline High School, The Sagamore emerged this year from the state of lethargy in which it had been during a good part of the last decade. This emergence, so-called, did not take the form of a sudden and startling change. It was the culmination of a long struggle for existence along with the driving will of the 1942 staff and faculty advisors. This effort succeeded by taking the paper out of the red and putting it over the top with a heightened prestige. In this position The Sagamore set new circulation records with a sharply constructive editorial policy. Now for the first time Brookline High School students are able to voice their opinions about school and civic affairs without faculty restraint. This privilege of freedom of the press,” in keeping with the other principles of student government that Brookline High stands for, is extremely valuable. Brookline students must guard it jealously and future Sagamore editors would do well to follow the lead of previous editors in choos- ing and presenting matters for discussion. This year the Sagamore celebrates all at once its finest year, its fiftieth anni- versary of publication and Brookline High’s centennial. Editor-In-Chief Bert Rabinowitz Business Manager .......

Mr. Ehnes, Mr. Friedland, Mr. Wall GIRL SCOUTS Troop 2 World War II reawakened the Girl Scouts of America to the new sig- nificance of their slogan Be Prepared.” They realized that it is their task to Faculty Advisers ... Miss Nichols care adequately for themselves and their immediate families or neighbors under Miss Poland unusual circumstances. As a result. Troop II has been organized as a Senior Service group in order to render assistance in the war emergency. This has included actual community service such as the making of surgical dressings, helping at the Community Fund office, mounting cartoons and puzzles for a Naval hospital. In addition, the troop has acquired practical knowledge on outdoor cooking and air raid protection. Troop 10 During the year 1942-3, the Girl Scout Troop 10 had 26 members. This year they have been engaged mainly in completing badges such as games, home nursing, child care, and bicycle which they hope to use in assisting younger troops. Unfortunately during the last half of the scout year, Miss Sampson, the scout leader, resigned her leadership of the troop. However, the troop went on under the guidance of Mrs. Lyons and Miss Poland. 150 1 : Lehrer, Orenberg, Cooper, Cadiff, Maltzman, Kap- lan. 2: Franklin, Michaels, Blumenthal, Lowenberg, Rothblatt, Marked.

MARINER SHIP, WESTWARD HO!” This year the mariners have been trying to fit themselves to be of definite use in the present emergency. Review work in First Aid, signalling with both Morse and Semaphore codes occupied some of their time at meetings. One of the most helpful projects undertaken was that of serving as volun- teer aides at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital. Serving in three shifts, the girls have covered all such services from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. on every Saturday since January. Now the hospital has been successful in securing full time paid workers for this work and the mariners are planning to help in some other hospital. In addition, mariners have taken charge of the group working in hospital dressings on Tuesdays and Thursdays. So far, these groups have made over 500 such dressings for the Red Cross. During the year the members of the Ship are called upon frequently to assist the leaders of the younger troops at meetings or on hikes. As usual their May and June activity turns to sailing. The Ship’s crew become members of the Municipal Sailing group in the Charles River Basin and really learn to handle boats. GIRLS’ FOODS CLUB The Girls’ Foods Club is one of the most interesting and satisfying clubs in this school and one that surely must have no trouble in attracting girls to its rolls”! Ever since the club was first conceived in the minds of six progressive girls about six years ago and was brought before Miss South, who is now its faculty advisor, the club has been very popular even though it affords no points towards Alpha Pi. The members of the organization are not restricted to those who are in Domestic Science courses and any girl who has the first and third Thursdays of each month free from other engagements may join the club. Two of the most popular of the activities of these girls, are the visits that they pay to the local candy and ice-cream factories. They do this in order that they may observe the methods and conditions whereby these products are manu- factured. Then too, the girls arrange out-door suppers and teas; getting practice for any entertaining on their own. President Vice-President Secretary T reasurer Faculty Advisor Helen Klose Betty Schlick Monya Hyman Ruth King Miss South LUNCHROOM STAFF Scene: Lunchroom at B.H.S. Time: About 5 minutes before the start of the fourth period. Action : A few white-clad boys and girls begin to set up the booths with sand- wiches, ice cream and other delicacies. Several others stand talking in low tones behind the food counters w ' aiting for the hunger-mad Brookline High gourmands to dash up to the opposite side of the counters. What they have been waiting for comes now. Suddenly the peaceful room is transformed into a veritable mad house! The half-starved students assail the various booths, W ' hile the teachers follow. They, the lucky ones, soon disappear into their own private sanctum. As the noise wells up to the ceiling, the lunchroom staff and Mr. Bates’ proteges exhort the ravenous eaters to lower it to a dull roar ’ and take those books out of here, or else”! One would think that the lunchroom attendants would slowly go a little mad after four such nerve-racking experiences every day, but Mrs. Potter and Miss Scanned have things so well planned that nothing can go wrong. We leave our little mess hall with the feeling that everyone is doing an excellent job in a graceful, pleasing manner. Brookline High School has come through again with a progressive eating system. Even in feeding the students food, our High School is tops, just as in feeding them knowledge.

It was the central treasury for all activities in the school. With approximately fifty organizations contributing to this treasury, it has proved to be a very unique system. It avoids the service charges on many small bank accounts. Special deposit slips having a space for the name of the organization are used so that the Central Treasury handles no money except to secure from the bank the small amount that is necessary now and then for a petty cash fund. This arrangement obviates any danger of loss or theft. It also makes it possible for all the faculty advisors of activities, the headmaster, the Superintendent of Schools, and members of the School Committee to receive monthly state- ments showing receipts, payments and balances of all activities so that they may note what is happening to the funds controlled by high school organizations. The personnel of the central treasury consists of the following: treasurer, Mr. Atticks; assistant treasurers. Miss Nickerson and Miss Greenshields, who check the bookkeeping entries; and a faculty member for each activity. The students are represented by a student bookkeeper, an assistant bookkeeper, and three typists. GIRLS’ AUXILIARY Appreciating how important it was to help the girls of Brookline find something worthwhile to do, in 1942 Miss Sawyer and Miss Poland originated the Girls ' Auxiliary, the war service committee of the Girls’ League, whose purpose is to organize war work for all the girls of the school. Membership in the Auxiliary is limited to those girls who have received a Red Cross certificate in Lirst Aid, Nutrition, Child Care, or Home Nursing, besides having done outside volunteer work and taken the Recreational Leader- ship course offered by the Auxiliary. However, the war work is open to all. This year the scope of the Auxiliary’s activities has been greatly increased since the Brookline girls have proved their worth in everything attempted. There are about forty girls doing hospital service, relieving tired nurses; many others are making surgical and hospital dressings, used by the thousands every day. And still others have been doing playground and social agency work, prepared by the Auxiliary’s Volunteer Service Course. The heartiest of congratulations to these girls for the splendid work they have done and are continuing to do. Co-Chairmen ..... Jacqueline Fishel, Barbara Fink Faculty Advisors . . .

The idea of having specially trained girls for cheer leaders was inagur- ated last year and has worked out exceedinly well. The girls are chosen by a process of elimination. All who are interested may try out. After having them go through a few cheers, those who are best suited for the job are decided upon by Mr. Hines and the former cheer leaders, who carefully consider each candidate. Personality, energy, vitality, a sense of rhythm, and ability to co- operate are some of the necessary qualifications. These girls do an important job in keeping up the team’s morale. In recognition of this, a regular varsity letter is awarded to every girl who has been a cheer leader for two years.

It was felt that the layout of the book and the theme for the Centennial edition were a very vital part of each other. The cost of such an adoption was more than had been anticipated in the original estimate. Following a discussion, it was voted that the Committee members try to meet the vari- ous costs by means of a sponsor group. Another reason for such action was the reduced income from general advertising because of conditions over which the Committee had no control. The faculty advisors recognize the need as one that results from the increased cost of an anniversary edition and war conditions. Grateful appreciation is expressed to the following people for their interest in the 1943 edition of the Murivian and their generosity in assisting the members of the Committee financially.
