For most of us the year was spent quietly adapting ourselves to the studies and other school activities. Attracting little atten¬ tion but, nevertheless, following school happen¬ ings with great enthusiasm, we saw some members of our class gradually gain prominence along with juniors and seniors. When the year rolled by we found ourselves elevated to junior standing and all that goes along with it. We were brought into intimate association with the seniors and were treated with unasked-for importance by the sophomores. Our class was strongly represented on all athletic teams, in all social enterprises, and in the scholastic and literary circles of the school. Moreover, the right of voting as self-govern¬ ment as can be practiced in school was granted us. Taking immediate advantage we elected our officers, who were: Leon Stavisky, President; Israel Cohen, Vice-president; Jacob Hochman, Secretary; and John Simon, Treasurer. Under the leadership of the officers and with the help of a committee, the class prom, our first affair at the school was held at the gymnasium in February, 1929. Headmaster and Mrs. Win¬ gate headed the faculty guests who honored us with their presence at that occasion and all those that followed. The prom was a brilliant social success which can never be forgotten. The end of the junior year was joyfully celebrated with a Frolic which took place late in May and to which all members of the student body were invited. our third and last school year we assumed the duties falling upon us as seniors. All the officers of the junior year were re-elected to head the class. The year of affairs was opened socially in December when the festive seniors and their friends thronged the beautifully decorated gym on the long awaited senior prom night. All ex¬ pectations and hopes for a pleasing and finan¬ cially successful evening were duly realized. In the weeks following the winter vacation preparations for the various events to be held in connection with graduation were begun. Among other things, a class ring was chosen, the cast for the senior play picked, and class night speakers elected. Members of the ’30 class were a potent factor on the athletic teams, and in the 1929-30 seasons played the leading part in making the football team one of the best ever to represent the school, in being crowned basket-ball champions at the M. I. T. Tourney, and in winning favorable recognition by their fine playing and sportsman.- ship at the Chicago games. On May 2, 1930, our class presented the three- act comedy “Tons of Money” at the high school auditorium. The cast, ably coached by Mrs. Hen¬ rietta M. Fay of the English department, made a fine impression on the audience. With a feeling mingling with joy and sorrow we are awaiting class night, Reception and Graduation which will bring our high school days to the very end. I wish to take this opportunity in closing to express the gratitude of the Class of 1930 to Headmaster Wingate and the entire faculty for the keen interest that they have taken in us during all the three years.

HEAR YE! HEAR YE! Glamorous tales of noble deeds, Such things as I have here to say— Have always interested mankind: Will do so to our dying day. Things here sot down are merely play. Anonymous A woodpecker lit on a Senior’s head, And settled there to drill. He drilled away for half a day And finally broke his bill. Sara Slotnick We’ll remember Sara as a loved one Who was always willing to join some fun. Of all the girls she was the best, Between the lines you’ll read the rest. Lawrence Glennon Larry is the sheik of class ’30, He’s as handsome as can be, The girls all fall for this handsome brute, For in him Love they see. Mary Hand The sweetheart of our class was she, For her we all did fall. With her charm and personality She was the sweetheart of all. Eddie Swartz As comedian of the class Eddie came first in line, And when it came to begging “ads”, Eddie certainly did fine. Li? Wecncr A smile that captivates, A figure that fascinates, A blond that’s attractive And always so active. Louis “Wiggy” Becker Iving of the dance halls, Ace of all noise, Jack of all trades, But the friendliest of the hoys. Leah Waterman and Leon Stavisky Throughout all their high school days Love into their bright eyes did gaze, For Leah and Leon were always together No matter how bad or stormy the weather. Sarah Berman Tall and stately is Sarah, The model of our class. With a pleasing personality, She is a charming lass. Harry Kepnes Such a petite looking boy is Keppie, He’s noted for his humor and wit, As a sub on the “Chicago Bound” team This little boy did his big bit. 48 THE BEACON 1930 Edna Fulman She sits in class so quietly We don’t know what she’s abo ut, But I guess she’s pretty lively, Right after she gets out. Joseph Bornstein Whenever Joe would start to talk, His time he’d never abide. He’d never stop till someone yelled, “Tie the bull outside”. Rose Freedman and Celia Feldman A Freedman without a Feldman Is like a ship without a sail. To try to part these two close friends Would prove of no avail. Alfred Lcvenson Like Johnny Mack Brown Booma would be, If he had this actor’s personality. 11 is charm, his physique, his handsome face, Alike they are, only in the sporting case. Ida Weiner, Rebecca Goldman, Ida Freedman, Bessie Dermer Ida, Rebecca, Ida and Bess, Were always together at every recess. For school they’d be five minutes late And then they’d shout, “It must be Fate”. Frank Cottier We’ll remember Frankie’s southern drawl, And how hard he tried to make girls fall. Although at that he was a flop, At basketball he ranked on top. Ethel Morrison One heart as big as the ocean, Two eyes as blue as the sky. Three friends could not show such devotion As Ethel in school days gone by. Charlotte Weisberg Much credit is due to our heroine, She made the play a big success, An inspiration she was to all. For her the audience did fall. Dave Coldberg Davie was always so silly And laughed at his own funny jokes. The class was crazy for humor So they gave him a couple of pokes. Marion Sparhawk As prompter of our play. She worked with all her might And always liked to say That the cast was never right. Benjamin Cerofsky When God created this poor lad, His brains were made first of all. He used up all his material there, Perhaps that’s why he’s so small. Rose Stahl A jolly good girl is Rosie, She always has a bright smile. She’ll cheer her friends when they’re down and out, Give advice, and help them all the while. Ceorge Slade Hail to the hero of the senior play, A master, a parson, a hero was he. Without his jokes and funny attire, The interest of the play would easily tire. Lillian Goldman This little girl is such a fussy dear, To dress each morning it takes a year. If a chance to see her you ever get, She’ll be putting on powder, I ' d like to bet. Danny Harrington At the banquet “On To Chicago” Danny sat, quiet, bashful and shy. But when out in Chicago lie played so well the South wanted to cry. Cart-rude Mahoney When in school the day seemed long In came Gert with a funny song. She made us all laugh and jump for joy, The cause of this glee was some tall boy. Sarah Rubinstein As honor student throughout school years. As a young maid in the play, As a member of the Beacon Staff, She was as bright as day. Sydney Brown Brown could always tell The teachers a thing or two. He is so awfully clever He should have been born two. 1930 THE BEACON 49 Rose Kane Clever and good as an angel, Pleasant and true to all. But weak she became as a flower When she heard the strike of lunch hour. jack Brown He went to school for reasons, You may think for fun, But let me tell you differently, It was to see someone. Ethel Bittel Sweet and tender is this young miss, Pleasing and pretty and full of bliss. Happy because all were her friends, A helping hand she always extends. Abraham Manell Tis his sweet voice we’ll remember As a butler in the play, As Essayist of the class He captured the heart of every lass. “Willy” Rose Red was inclined to be snobbish The reason for this was not known. Perhaps his thoughts were of no one but her, In that case we’ll leave him alone. Althea Sneirson I wonder if the time will come, When there’ll be one, and only one? For now there must be nigh on twenty, Which number nicely rhymes with plenty. Norman Weiner As the Spirit of Class 1930, Porky takes the cake, But since he became Donator of Gifts Every night he has a date. Natalie Weiner I’ve heard it said again and again And never thought it true, That “good things come in small packages”, But I think so now about you. Walter Sikorski Sikorski did well as a reporter, He did all he could for the school. He sold most tickets for the play, So. let’s crown him King of the day. Rose Freedman Rose never did her English, And oh, how she dreaded that class. She was so nervous when called upon ’Cause she feared that she would not pass. Bessie Glazer She glides her fingers o’er the keys, And sends forth wondrous melodies. Such charming music I never have heard, Not even from the throat of a jungle bird. Ruth Kotzen The best of sports was Ruthie, The most fun was had with her. To scribble on blouses was her joy And the girls she always liked to annoy. “Jackie” Cunningham For his school he fought like a major, In football and basketball too. No matter how hurt was Jackie The word DEFEAT he never knew. Rosalie Sullivan Quiet, sedate, attractive too. Cheer leader, collector of slips ’tis true. Neat as a pin, clean as a bud, She ’ll be sure to go to Heaven above. EPILOGUE Now my part ends, All good things do. I trust you ’re sorry that I’m thru, But if you’re not that’s just too bad— Just think of all the fun I’ve had. Beverly Giesser. .A. .A. -A.

Cbitorial We who were sophomores three years ago have become Seniors of the Class of 1930. For several years we have had hard tasks to face, difficult problems to solve, always with the help and guidance of our Faculty. During those years we have grown physically, intellectually, socially and in character. It was natural for us to wish for graduation to hasten upon us, but now that the sands have run out and the eventful days are here, we feel a pang of sadness at the thought of leaving our school forever. Classmates, the success of our life lies within ourselves and by the use of our present abilities coupled with energetic efforts in obtaining higher education we will find a place in the affairs of our American nation. For after all the strength of our nation lies in the number of intelligent people who compose its inhabitants.

Aubrey Henry Maitland Allington and his wife, Louis, were constantly going deeper and deeper into debt but debt troubles the Ailing- tons not at all. Miss Benita Mullet, a fussy old aunt, disapproves of the flippant way in which Aubrey meets life. “Bills, bills, bills and more bills” as Sprules, the butler tells Simpson— but bills are a matter of course in the Allington household. Among the bills is a letter from Jean Everard saying that she is coming to spend the week-end and a letter from the firm of Chester- man, Chesterman, and Chesterman saying that Mr. James Chesterman would call that day. At eleven o ’clock Mr. Chesterman arrived with good news for them. Aubrey’s brother has died leav¬ ing Aubrey heir to $470,000.00. In the event of Aubrey’s death the money will pass to George Maitland of Mexico. ‘ ‘ Tons of Money ’ ’ is theirs but as Louise says, “We owe tons of money and by the time we have paid for the tons of money there won’t be any tons of money left. ’ ’ How to keep the money must be decided. A rumor has reached England that George Maitland has been shot. Louise, therefore, sug¬ gests to Aubrey that he be exploded while ex¬ perimenting and to turn up in three weeks as George Maitland and claim the money. The ex¬ plosion is to occur at twelve o’clock. At ten minutes of twelve Giles, the gardener, brings Miss Mullet a cucumber and is told to fix the clock which is ten minutes slow. Louise, on seeing that it is twelve o’clock blows down the tube and an explosion is heard. Aubrey staggers into the room in tatters. Three weeks later Louise receives a call from Aubrey who will arrive clothed as George Mait¬ land. Miss Everard also is to arrive the same day. Sprules, the butler, has arranged for Henery, his brother, to come as George Maitland and claim the money. He and Simpson have ar¬ ranged a code of signals to use in case it becomes necessary to attract Henery’s attention. Shortly after Miss Everard’s arrival, Aubrey appears. Miss Everard, who had secretly married George Maitland before he went to Mexico mistakes Aubrey for her husband. Louise frantically searches for another means of straightening out the mix-up since Chesterman has told her that at George Maitland’s death the money would come to her. She decides that Aubrey had better be drowned since then his body would not be recovered. The plan is succesful until Miss Mullet returns from the garden with the suit Aubrey has taken off. Sprules is sent to the arbor and reports that no sign of Mr. Maitland can be found. Louise is ecstatic but her joy is smothered when Giles brings in the suit which she has left for Aubrey. As the curtain falls Aubrey is seen in a barrel proclaiming that he will never die again. Sprules, who is unaware that Henery has not yet arrived, mourns his brother’s death. Louise and Henery interrupt the conversation of Simp¬ son and Sprules and Henery immediately signals Sprules who has no eye for him. Henery is ner¬ vous and afraid but his fear becomes paramount when he hears that his wife is in the same house. Jean, unsuspecting, embraces Henery, who is made-up as Maitland. Aubrey, determined to have his share of the money, now calls on Mrs. Allington as the Reverend Ebenezer Brown. Ches¬ terman, who is beginning to sense that all is not right, is quick to note every slip that Aubrey makes. Louise again has an idea. This time Aubrey will confess to Henery and together they might be able to make some arrangement. Henery agrees to pay Aubrey half of the money as long as he lives. Louise is afraid that the scheme will fail. As Henery goes into the garden to join his 60 THE BEACON AAAAAAAAAA 1S30 wife, George Maitland appears. He recognizes Jean and the reunion is pathetic. Miss Mullet says disgustedly, “That ' s the third man she’s kissed in the last two days.” Aubrey, in the guise of a wanderer playing a banjo, appears. Maitland, who has chased Henery into oblivion, refuses to recognize Aubrey’s claim. In the midst of their excited argument Chesterman has a call from his office. After deduction expenses the estate is one pound four shilling halfpenny or about $5.87. As the curtain falls for the last time Louise has another idea.

During the years in which we have attended school, we have experienced many and varied situations which have taught us of the nature of Life and of the forces which are the basis of Life. Let us stop and consider our deeds and those of our asso¬ ciates which influenced us in forming our opin¬ ions and conclusions concerning Life. We have performed actions as though it were not in our power to ascertain whether they would produce good or evil, happiness or misery. This, the misuse of our reasoning faculties, has been perhaps our greatest failing. Nothing, however, is plainer than the law of cause and effect, if we observe the order of those events which occur about us. We are born in the possession of reasoning faculties and gifted with the perception of a dif¬ ference between right and wrong. By the right use of this power of reasoning, our thoughts, our affections, our actions, are arranged and em¬ ployed in right order and then peace and com¬ fort are the result; but when the judgment, in¬ stead of presiding over the senses and intellect¬ ual powers, is itself controlled by the lusts of the heart, or the ambitious desires of the mind, it becomes perverted and consequently we experi¬ ence disorder and discomforture. A common delusion by which some of us have been possessed has been that high scholastic marks are worth getting—no matter what the method employed in gaining them. Bv copying the work of some good-natured individual credit has been received, in time, however, we have been made to feel the futility and dishonor of such acts; futility because nothing has been added to the sum of our power, and dishonor be¬ cause we have claimed as our own the work of another. The evil of such conduct may well re¬ solve into the development of a materialistic point of view and an immoderate love of social prestige—and perhaps the belief that through money all happiness may be gained. Such people in their mad scramble for money carry on a life ruinous not alone to themselves, but to those with whom they associate ; only to find when they have finally amassed a great deal of wealth that it avails them little, and that it has become a burden to the Babbitt who has collected it. Still another error of judgment into which we often fall is to allow ourselves to slip into the hold of procrastination, one of the most fatal evils. Leisure and idleness are at first gratify¬ ing to the senses, but later when procrastination has seized a firm hold on us disorder and chaos are the results. Thus far I have talked to you about evils which betray our powers of discriminations. Let us now consider those people and qualities which will act as guidepost along our road of Life. As we have proceeded from grade to grade, and from elementary to high school, we have come to admire and esteem certain individuals of the class more than others. Those of our friends who have secured our respect and ad¬ miration have done so because of their sincerity, friendliness, conscientious attitude toward duty, and intellectual worth. Sincerity is undoubtedly the greatest of all human virtues. It is the force which makes great men. When not prompted by sincerity any act which we may do usually proves futile and harmful. Friendliness of spirit among our classmates has done much to make our life in school both gracious and pleasant. A friendly man is a source of delight, and hope, and en¬ couragement. We respect all of our classmates who perform their work conscientiously. A great deal of toil must be expended in order to perform our duties faithfully and well. Those who labor and accomplish their tasks in spite of the dif¬ ficulties which beset them are of noble spirit. We are all admirers of intellectual worth. It is that, together with moral worth, which inspires admiration in us toward such great men as Spinoza and Emerson, in whom are combined intellectual superiority and nobility of char¬ acter. Soome of us are endowed with talents which are of advantage to us. Others with little talent must toil hard for whatever is gained. Yet we are not to be judged according to the number or the greatness of the talents conferred on us, but according to the right application and improve¬ ment of our potentialities. Similiarly, we are not to be rated according to the position we hold, but by the manner in which we administer its func¬ tions. ■� ■� ,� .♦■ , A .� ♦ ■� ■� .■ ■ � � i � «■ +• • � ■• •■� « .♦.AA ■ ■ . ■ -N ■ •■ ■ - ■� ■ ■ •.-� -.-� : «■ • ■■«•- •-«• A AAA 62 THE BEACON 1930 Finally, from our observations and conclusions both in regard to man and to his ways we may conclude that ideal happiness and contentment can only be attained by the perfect government of all the senses, faculties and powers of judg¬ ment. Each individual should yield obedience to Truth and to Sincerity and endeavor to follow the dictates of his conscience. A man in the pos¬ session of a principle or rectitude when on the point of any act which is likely to affect the char¬ acter or condition of himself or his fellows should propose to himself the question: “Is this which I am about to do, right?” Tf the answer satisfies his intellect then it is a worthy act and only good can result from it. Our whole life’s observation tells us that an action prompted by good brings good. When one plants an acorn on oak arises. The laws which govern the moral world, when applied to the acts of man, are no less sure and certain in their operation. These principles are the basis of all order and virtue in society. If we are calm and serene and exhibit sincerity in our connections with others, we shall impart something of the same spirit to them. Our march will then be onward and upward; and at life’s close we shall have the satisfaction of knowing that we have not lived in vain—that we have fought for our ideals and have tried to make things better and more beautiful than we have found them.

Many new additions have been made until the orchestra numbers sixty-two. Several times dur¬ ing the year, over Station WLOE a fine program of music has been presented by its members. Be¬ sides these programs the orchestra has been heard many times in the High School Auditorium. An excellent type of music, in well-executed form has been the product of its hard work. If the orchestra work in the future years is equal to the work of this year’s orchestra, Chelsea High School can be justly proud of the results. The members are: Violins Irving Kaplan Water Kaitz Edward Levine Harry Peskin Sarah Fisher Bertha Schwartz Fannie Schwartz Ruth Wolf son Anna Brenner Myer Glickstein Ruth Bailen William Berenberg Arthur Ellison Murray Cohen Louis Gordon Ida Huberman Abraham Zazofsky Carl Mason Louis Wolf Esther Richmond Mildred Chalker Hillel Cotton Nathan Madow James Tester Jane Suszynska Sarah Segal Louis Gilman Benjamin Levine Thomas Swierk Joseph Burstein 1930 THE BEACON 65 T rumpets Isadore Baker Sam Weinstein Morris Hulak John Parlin John Mnlley Wallace Kirby Joseph Broder Clarinets Guido Ot.tavi Leo Swierk Martin Yeshilian Ruth Spindler Nathan Steinberg Flutes George Higgins Laura Stein John Bostonian Cellos Jane Hand Hyman Peskin David Nitka Trombones Philip Barron Isadore Brown Abraham Hodus Sam Westerman Ralph Koplovitz Saxophones Alfred Levenson Jack Carp Bass Frieda Miller Horn James Shannon Drums Joseph Riley Philip Kovnit Piano Lillian Skiddel Edith Greenberg Sarah Goodman Elaine Anderson In addition to the fine orchestra Miss Swan- strom’s classes have made unusual progress. The scope of their work is far reaching and the courses serve not only as musical information but also as a source of general knowledge. We predict a brilliant future for Joseph Burn- stein whose splendid violin work has met with hearty applause. Burstein was heard in a solo at the parents’ day exercises. He has also played at assemblies. A. A A.

After waiting many years a team that the tans were waiting for, was finally brought to light. With six veterans and a few subs from last year’s team, Coaches Garvey and Kennedy succeeded in molding a team that was acclaimed by many Boston papers to be one of the best in the North Shore district. The Season’s Regime: The first game of the season, Salem Trade, was a comparatively easy victory for the team. Coach Garvey injected many reserves into the fray, and when the final whistle blew, the score read: Chel¬ sea—24, Salem Trade—0. Amesbury, the second team on our schedule, came here anticipating victory, having beaten us the year before by a 25 to 0 score. But when the smoke lifted, Chelsea was found to be out in front by a 24 to 0 score, practically identical to the score they had beaten us by the previous year. Merrit Park, the recently enclosed field, was the scene of our clash with Saugus. Although we won, 24 to 6, the victory was a costly one, for two of our best men were put out of the game for the remainder of the year: Charlie Marked, regular guard, whose loss was keenly felt, and John Savosik, substitute center, who was one of the best fighting men on the team. Flushed with the Peabody and Saugus vic¬ tories, the team kept up its good work by trounc¬ ing a strong Newburyport team 22 to 0. This defeat was considered one of the big upsets of the season, Newburyport having lost only one game, and that to a strong Rindge Tech team by a 7 to 6 score. This victory was not much of a surprise to the Chelsea fans who followed the team ad season and realized what a great team Chelsea had. From this game on Chelsea was recognized to be one of the leading teams in the state. The game played with Winthrop on a field covered with sleet and ice, was the scene of another Chelsea victory. The Winthrop team kept Chelsea from scoring until the last period when by a great drive helped along by a Win¬ throp fumble, Chelsea pushed over two touch¬ downs. This win was received with great joy by Chelsea fans, being the first win in many a P 1 moon. ■ - -A.AA a a A aaaaaaA AAA A A AAA A A A A A AAAAA AAAA A A AAAA A AA AAA A A AAA A AAAAA AAA AAAAA Ai 1930 THE BEACON 69 “ Looma” Lcvenson — who could fill the back- field or end positions at any time. Fast and 1 rainy, one whom you could place confidence in. Dam DcAngelis — a man who could open holes whenever needed. A clean football player and a terror to the opposition. Others who deserve mention are John Savosik, a boy who was called upon often to fill up in the center of the line, who unfortunately broke his collar bone. Tyrrel, Law, and Barron. These men are only Juniors and Sophomores and much is expected from them. To the managers: Much thanks are due to the managers for their fine work and encourage¬ ment. To the followers and backers: We thank you. With the laying aside of our strenuous and lengthy basketball season and with the dusting off of bats and balls, Coach Kennedy issued a call for baseball candidates. A group of boys number¬ ing over 100 reported the first day; no doubt encouraged to do so by the splendid football and basketball records which were hung up this year. After a week of practice Coach Kennedy finally selected his team, and the first game was played at Saugus. It was a batting spree for Chelsea and the boys returned home victorious— 9 to 4. Jerry McVey and Cy Kaplan were the pitchers. Against Braintree High it was a different story, the team having to fight an uphill battle all the way, finally succumbing in the end to an 8 to 5 loss. Nevertheless the team has only been strengthened by this loss and intends to go out and take every game if they possibly can. The year of 1930 wil be long remembered by the students as the best athletic year seen in the High School since days of yore. With a football team whose success can only be eclipsed by our wonderful basketball team and a promising base¬ ball team. The curtain slowly fads over the glorious Chel¬ sea High School’s Athletic play, now in its last act—slowly ending. From the audience a sound is borne to the ears which can only mean one thing—Success. On through the stage is wafted the names of those men who have helped to make the success of this year possible. We mean Coaches Kennedy and Garvey, Headmaster Win¬ gate, and Faculty Manager Davis. To these men a body and give three real Chelsea High School cheers for their good work, so generous in nature the students of Chelsea High School ad rise in and so fruitful in results. f S basketball Jieasmt of 19311 Exce pts from Chelsea Record S 5 CheSsea 39—SomsrviSIc 25 “Chelsea did a noble job of it against Somer¬ ville, chalking up a 39 to 25 victory on the out- of-town court. Somerville led but once during the fray. McVey, veteran left forward, led the scoring with thirteen points.” Ch lssa 47—Weymouth 13 “Weymouth High could offer Chelsea nothing more than a work-out at the Senior High School gym last night, the Red and Black five winning 47 to 13. Cunningham, McCarthy and Portnoy starring. ’ ’ CheSsea 26—Gloucester 25 “A fourth-period offence in which the Red and Black five went out and played its head off was responsible for the victory. Behind 20 to 18 at the start of the period, long shots by Harring¬ ton, McVey and Cunningham with but a minute and a half to play, sent the locals into the lead to stay.” Chelsea 25—Everett 14 “Not only did the Red and Black players make Everett look like a second-rate outfit, but the Kennelly-Kids held the visitors to five points in the first half, all scored from the free throw line. Harrington playing at left forward simply could not be stopped by what the Everett defence had to offer and scored 13 points.” 70 THE BEACON 1930 fPL. ' ' L W- $r ' ■ v ' %:■ Vtm?

Team play counted heavily. McCarthy and Rice fed the passes to Cunningham who in turn gave McVey and Harrington their scoring chances. The latter pair led both teams in scor¬ ing, the former getting 12 points and Harring¬ ton, 6.” Chelsea 23—Salem 9 “C. H. S. avenged an earlier Salem defeat by over-measure. The invaders were unable to fathom the home team’s passing game, with McVey on receiving end.” Chelsea 24—Winthrop 13 “Playing their best game of the year, Chelsea swept her way to victory over Winthrop at the latter’s court yesterday afternoon. At one stage of the game, Chelsea led the home team 18 to one. ” Chelsea 34—Brockton 19 “ Unleashing an offense heretofore uncompared with, the Red Devils swept through a much be¬ wildered Brockton High five at the Brockton Armory last night, ripped the home team’s de¬ fense to threads, bottled up their stars, and won the game 34-19. The contest which was witnessed by close to tw r elve hundred fans found the Kennelly-quintet at its very best. Chelsea never looked better in victory or Brockton worse in defeat than last night. McVey enjoyed an¬ other field day and scored 18 points.” M. I. T. TOURNAMENT Chelsea 35—Watertown 30 “It remained up to Chelsea to give some tw r o thousand fans the first real treat of the day when in the opening minutes of the play, the Red Devils ran up eleven points against none for the opposition. Chelsea entered the second period with an eleven to five lead but after getting four additional points on baskets by Cunningham and McCarthy, allowed her defense to lag long enough to bring the opposition up to one basket of tying the count. Then came the crisis. McVey, w’ho up until this stage had been held to two long shots from the floor, took a pass from Rice and shot from the center of the floor, sending the ball sailing cleanly through the hoop and with it ended whatever hope Watertown had of winning. McCarthy increased the lead to five points after ducking past Ross and drib¬ bling half the length of the gym. McDermott’s seventh basket cut the Chelsea lead to three points but McVey again found the mark, this time finishing up the scoring for both teams.” Chelsea 21—Lynn English 19 “Although worn dowm and on the verge of defeat and elimination, Chelsea High School’s smart and alert basketball machine safely sur¬ vived her second major competition at M. I. T. last night by defeating the strong Lynn English team 21 to 19. The game adjudged the best of the tournament was w itnessed by another capac¬ ity crowd including about six hundred from Chelsea. Chelsea’s stellar first half offense drove English into the background with its trick pass work and lightning-like thrusts through the other team’s defense. While Lynn took a num¬ ber of shots at the Chelsea basket, none except Chiporous’ counted.” Chelsea 20—Medford 17 “Grit and overburdened, but a stout set of hearts coupled with the undeniable spirit of giv¬ ing their all, brought Chelsea High School’s five basketball iron men to the front against Med¬ ford High, Saturday night, and established Coach Kennedy s great team and its Red and Black standard at the very peak of the season’s outstanding Massachusetts School-boy quintets. Cunningham and McVey coming through in over¬ time period with a basket and foul which gave the championship to Chelsea. It w T as an intensely exciting game.” 74 t .

Rice played a star game for Chelsea and led the scoring before a crowd of four thousand people, who packed the Bartlett gym.” Chelsea 33—Clovis, New Mexico 32 ‘‘In another gripping overtime game, Chelsea defeated the Clovis giants in the first consola¬ tion round of the National Tournament. With seven seconds to play, and Clovis leading by one point, McCarthy threw the winning basket which fell through the hoop just as the timer’s gun sounded for the end of the game.” Chelsea 21—Mount Carmel, III. 19 “Behind 19 to 12, with five minutes to play in the fourth period, Chelsea’s fighting team came back and minus the services of McCarthy and Cunningham, who were out of the game on fouls, managed to score 9 points and defeat the strong Illinois team and go into the quarter finals for the consolation championship.” Chelsea 14—Fort Wayne, Ind. 29 “Worn out by their three difficult games of the preceding days, the boys finally cracked in the last period, letting the strong Fort Wayne club run off with the game.” Chelsea 20—Roanoke, Va. 27 “After holding the lead until the middle of the last quarter, superior physical condition and size of the Roanoke team finally told and Chelsea had to be content with fourth place in the Na- ional Tournament.

The BEACON ' 1931 UP AND DOWN THE SIBERIAN STEPPES By Ralph Royster Doyster N EVER since I explored the basin of the river Styx which leaps and bounds in wavelets, riplets, and triplets on its way to the ocean, have I so thoroughly enjoyed my ' self, as when I spent five months climbing the Siberian Steppes. It is a delightful country, and there is snow all year round, but it never exceeds fourteen feet in height. Moreover, the mean temperature (very mean) is about sixteen degrees below zero —just enough to give the air a sharp twang. The sun never comes out so there is no chance of getting sunburnt. Beautiful flowers with odiferous odors dot the waving fields of grain. Little skunks run gaily through the overladen or ' chards. The Siberian Steppes can be called the pleasure spot of the universe. The elite of society flock there. The people who inhabit the surrounding regions are very polite and courteous. For two kopecks they will nonchalantly lop off their neighbor ' s head; and as a sign of their politeness, a man will cheerfully give a travel ' ler one of his wives. Woe to the man who re ' fuses a gift of such a kind heart, for he will be forced to take three wives! Thi is Every year these people have spring fes ' tival, which is the gala event of the social season. The village beauties vie with each other for the coveted title of “Miss Siberia.” This is a rather difficult task, not because of the rare beauty of these belles, (DING ' DING) but because the judges have to be ex ' tremely careful in their choice; otherwise they will hang for their indiscretion. Yetta, the mayor’s daughter, the cynosure of only her mother’s eyes (one glass, the other cross ' eyed) has won this consecutively for the last sixty years. They just don’t attempt to cross the mayor. r WHITE WINGS IN SOUTHERN SIBERIA ‘white wing” is homeward plodding his weary way after an arduous afternoon’s work of painting the Steppes with sunshine. For the noble perspiration of his brow this menial receives 15 kronen, which equals 3.141596 kopecks. The emptiness of the ages ing forth from the crack in his head. is pour ' Up on the last Steppe, I met several extinct races, and when I asked what business they had on earth when they were supposed to be dead, they replied sourcastically, “Listen, big boy, shoot the works,” and we immediately got into a friendly game of cutthroat African polo. When they were through with me I was as clean as a whistle. They may have been extinct, but they did know how to roll those sevens. They rolled seven so many times that the dice didn t have to be thrown; they just flopped over. Back on the first Steppe, I recouped my fortune by showing the lion-hearted Turks how to hang walk paper. Then I sailed for home in the ship of the desert. 97 The BEACON ' 1931 THE NATIONAL SPORT OF TATUNGFU: BALALAIKA By Hereward the Wake W ITHOUT a doubt balalaika is the most enervating and uplifting sport ever inflicted on a poor, defenseless nation. This art of self offense has come down from the ages, although another reliable source has it that it came down from the hills of Pales ' tine. Thus it has a splendid environment as well as magnificent possibilities. Briefly, the rules and manner of play of the game are as follows: Two opponents, A and B, each back to back, stand on the prim cipal foci of a truncated ellipsoid, and then, at a given signal, they both turn around as quickly as possible, and with deftness of grace and style, proceed to kick each other in the jaw with cast ' iron boots. Soon one contestant begins to weaken and sinks to the ground, but his rival brings him to his feet with a place ' kick to the chin. This counts three points. The game starts anew, but this time they pound each other on the wrist with sixteen pound sledge hammers. Just as soon as one begins to feel the strain, the other brings his hammer down on his opponent’s big toe. This counts six points. (Should the other hit one’s little toe, it counts two points.) In the final round A and B caress each other ferociously with lead ingots. This is known as trying for the extra point. Biting and punching are for ' bidden because of the serious injuries whch may result from the use of such illegal tactics. Finally the contest ends, A and B run around a rubber car track twenty-six times, sing “Sonny Boy,” and kiss each other good night. BETWEEN THE ROUNDS OF A BALALAIKA BATTLE Behold! The national amateur bantamweight champ, Karl Tofel. in the pink at 22 kilograms, pictured with his sparring partner. Lulu Belle, just after a hot skirmish with Injuns. His Horror has just wound a stop sign around his liege friend ' s neck. This explains the woe-begone look. This sport is exceedingly popular in Tatungfu, and it occupies the same position in the hearts of the Tatungfuonions as the Red Sox in the American League. The present heavyweight champion is Karl Tofel, but lately his tan is peeling and he is becoming somewhat boiled. 98 The BEACON 1931 THE NECESSITY OF HSIFAN’S SPHERICAL TRIGONOMETRY By Cedric the Celt A N extensive survey of methods of teach ' ing arithmetic in the kindergarten schools of Babylon will serve to point out the detrimental qualities of that branch of mathe ' matics. Not only are the young men and women who attend these schools in a terrible state of mind, but, what’s more, they simply cannot prove the Pythagorean theorem. What would their parents say if they but read this immortal couplet: “Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said: C square equals B square plus A square?” Furthermore this is not the only fault. Do you know that these young men and women will become citizens at the age of fifty and be completely ignorant of the fact that a quadratic equation has two roots? Surely this is a heinous state of affairs. Unfortunately, many, many years ago a man named Hsifan wreaked a horrible veil ' geance upon this innocent world by formu ' lating a branch of mathematics known as spherical trigonometry, not knowing that it would turn into a blessing. Hsifan’s spherical trigonometry is a cross between a mad stallion and a thoroughbred dragon, and without even mentioning or hinting, it proceeds to prove that two and two are five and not three. Naturally, this upset all previous calculations FUTURE AR BI N KNIGHTS of famous mathematicians, but soon afterwards This teacher (first from left) is leading her infant pupils to kinder- Hsifan found an error in his work and dis- gfrten where they will receive their degree of Ph.D. (Phenomenally Dumb). Here they are shown waiting for the lights to change. Signs covered that two and two are six. Then every- of marked stupidity may be seen in their happy, eager, unwashed faces. body was happy. The advantages of this ex¬ ceedingly simple mathematics were numerous, for it did away with all complication and unnecessary work, e.g., if one wished to multiply 2,23 5, 721 x the number shares sold by the Consolidated Gas one simply looked at the problem and said, “The answer is right.” No errors were possible. It is quite evident that if the Babylonians are to progress they will have to adopt Hsifan’s spherical trigonometry. Spherical trigonometry, according to many statisticians, is extremely useful in solving the eternal tri¬ angle, especially when two sides are twins and the triangle is therefore sceles. Yet, again, the Good Book has the Golden Word which states, “A straight, is that which lies evenly between its extreme points.” 99 The BEACON ' 1931 ROUGHING IT IN LUKOWKIAS By Sir Gorboduc E VERY year I feel that urge wherein I must do something manly; so I hurry to pack my bow and arrows, tuxedo, and patent ' leather pumps, and take a first-class passage on a Chinese junk hound for the wilds of Lukowkias. The region is so desolate, barren, and covered with a thick underbrush that I am forced to take a taxi to my hunting lodge built in the very midst of the dangerous bush country. My hunting lodge is quite simple and rustic. Of course, electricity, hot and cold water, hardwood floors, Chippendale furni ' ture, and Louis Quinze beds are to be found there, but these are the bare necessities of life. Think of having to go absolutely without pate de fois, caviar, and vanilla frappes! Such are the deprivations which I condescend to endure each year. Sometimes, I go real native, and actually do without chocolate layer cakes, but the denial is too much for me, and after suf ' fering the absence of this rough pioneer food during breakfast, I am forced to partake of three medium-sized cakes for luncheon. Once a month I plunge into the depths of the forest on a hunting party with a few of my native boys. The favorite game is ovis polaris, an antarctic beast which migrates to the torrid zone during the dark, cold days of the winter at the North Pole. This animal is very difficult to trap, for it is the most fero- cious of all herbivorous and when it has worked up a rage, it is not above swallowing five red peppers. The usual method of trap¬ ping the beast, which is slightly larger than a large-size elephant, is to construct an enclosure several miles around. Naturally, I send out bids to con¬ struction companies, and actual work begins in September of the following year. After the enclosure is built, it is taken down by a building-wrecking concern and made smaller. This continues for several months until, finally the enclosure is only five feet square, and inside is a full-grown ovis-polaris. At this stage the hunt is very exciting and thrilling, for when, at last, the ovis polaris is in the confines of the small fence, my joy knows no bounds. Since I am an anti-vivisectionist, I release the poor animal after its capture. My craving is at last satisfied. Forthwith I pack my trunks and depart once more for the world of civilization. ANOTHER TROPHY FOR SIR GORBODUC ' S LIBRARY This young ovis polaris (not the old lady) had just been killed with the bean shooter of the intrepid chasseur, Sir Gorboduc, at the instance of this picture. The animal’s chief use is for coat hangers, although a by-product has been developed by using the horns for collegiate Fords. 100 _ The _ BEACO N_-_l 9 32 MUMBO-JUMBO, THE TIBETAN TERROR By Piers Plowman tables: breakfast, very little tableau what happens to W HEN I was a little boy I used to like to play with poison ivy. I was a model boy and never did the wrong thing at the right moment. However, one day—it hap- pened to be my twenty-first birthday—I said to my mother, “Mother dear, is there a Santa Claus? for which I was soundly slapped and put into a dark closet for asking questions which were too shocking to be answered. The very same day I asked my father at the sup¬ per table (we had three dinner, and supper, and a for dessert), “Father dear, bad little boys?” Father flew into a rage, strapped me good and hard, and sent me to bed without any breakfast. Later when all was quiet’ I crept downstairs and overheard my mother say, “Ambrose, do you know that our little boy is growing up?” My father then replied, “I suspected as much all along, but if he doesn’t behave, Mumbo-Jumbo will get him.” This frightened me very much, and a cold sweat broke out on my back. But I was also very inquisitive. Therefore, I decided to find out who this terrible enigma, Mumbo- Jumbo, was. So, thirty years later, I started out on a world tour, looking for this Tibetan Terror One day as I was buying a ham sandwich from a Moslem peanut vendor in the heart of the wholesale shoe district of Tibet, I saw a strange man come toward me. Just as he was passing, he dropped a handkerchief. Pressing it to my fervent lips, I started out in pursuit, and soon was outside the city limits. On and on we went. First he was ahead, and then I burst to the fore. After many hours banter, I realized that we were no longer in the shoe district. My horror knew no bounds. What was I to do? Suddenly it grew dark, and I was afraid. The winds began to moan and howl, “Mumbo-Jumbo, God of Tibet, and all the other little gods of Tibet will get you.” I quickly donned my roller skates, shifted into high, and rolled faster than the wind, but someone was following. Then I saw several new stars, and all went black. . . . Next morning I awoke to hear the crows, ravens, and vultures cheerfully twittering their beautiful melodies, when I saw the figure of a black horse. The sight caused me to faint. When I came too, I saw my mistake. It was not a horse, but a woman. Eyes are terrible deceivers. She said to me in a voice as sweet as a dill pickle at its worst, “Comment ca va?” I showed her that I, too’ understood Swedish and answered, “You’re a liar.” Then she got angry and said to me, “My name is Mumbo-Jumbo and you have to marry me. I tell you this with tears running down my neck, for I was actually forced to marry that terrible creature. Now I pare onions and grate horse-radish, but some day I will escape. THE QUEEN IN ALL HER GLORY This photograph, posed exclusively for the Spectator Papers, shows Her Royal Lowness attractively bedecked with a new Parisien horse blanket. Mumbo-Jumbo, Zwinjdretchtberel for short, has just finished the wedding supper celebrating her marriage with her sixty-third husband. Mumbo is the Peggy Joyce of Tibet. 101 _rhe J 9 J1_ THE SHEIK By Elene Andreas M Y great failing is that I am unusually romantic. Mention the full moon and I go into paroxysms of delirious tremens. My readers, I am going to take you into my deep confidence by telling you my great ambition—the ambition of ambitions. I have always wanted to meet a sheik. A sheik. Not those morons who walk around the streets with their hair plastered down like cement and a cigarette dangling from their insipid lips. Not them. Not these great lovers of the screen who whisper to the heroine, “I love you!” and then wipe their noses with their coat sleeve. Not them. No, not any of these artificial sheiks, but I mean the real honest-to-goodness sheik of the desert. Somewhere in the great desert there must be some man who can call himself A Man. A man can pound himself on the chest without having to catch it coming through his back. We mean a man who has hair on his chest, and not a gigolo who has horse hair on his chest to make him look like the real thing. WHAT PRICE LOVE? The sheiks pictured herein are preparing themselves for shipment to Sears Roebuck Company, where they will teach the coming generation of peanut vendors the art of making little ones out of big ones. A gala celebration is to be held in honor of these two men who can tear a herring with the best of them. I can see him now, as he sits majestically on his noble steed, stroking his beard forward and backward, gazing at the stars overhead, while his spotless robes flow gracefully in the wind. My heart goes pitter patter, does a somersault, and lands upside down. My hero! What do these commoners, who walk the streets know about love? Nothing! You wonderful man! Would that I might be by thy side before a fire of birch logs gazing at the stars, at the moon, and at you. My sheik! — Oh, I must have my milk. Editor’s note (While our fair colleague was thus transported away by her thoughts of love I was talking to one of thes e sheiks. He has hair on his chest all right, but it looked as though it had sprouted on an ape. The horse he sat on may have seen worse days, but I doubt it. His robes were spotless. Yes, there wasn’t a clean spot on the whole dish rag. Here was a skunk if there ever was one. 102 The BEACON - 1931 PROHIBITION AND CRIME IN TAKLA MAKAN By Gammer Gurton P RIOR to discussion proper on the subject of prohibition and crime in Takla Makan, I undertake to give you a definite description of the Taks; for without such a knowledge, you would be far better off. Takla Makan extends from longitude to longitude ' and the inhabitants practice polygamy twice a week to such an extent that many of the natives have been married many, many times. To cite hypothetical examples - I shall use the annals of the annual report on fishing issued by the depart ' ment of the treasury. In the year 1930 the report states that a most remarkable advance in criminal activb ties was noted. The following statistics compiled by a certified public accountant will prove this statement: If all the brandolaccio, the popular beverage, consumed by the Taks was poured into the Tiber, then Horat us would never have held the bridge. If all the shekels given to the police by the semipaltinskans, (racketeers) for protection against crooks and highwaymen, were invested — — AMONG THE MORMONS OF TAKLA MAKAN These female hussies have just finished cooking supper for their lord and master, with the result that they have burned the water. They are attired in their ermine wraps, under which they are wearing the latest from Paris, which isn’t much. They represent but one ' tenth of the entire harem of Youssef the Terrible Turk. To what cause may these conditions be attributed? An austere investigation aimed at angry wives who wreak vengeance on their innocent spouses will disclose evidence of a startling nature. Women are ever a source of trouble. Many a man knows the agony of being tied with bowlines, double reefs, and half ' hitches to a feminine terror known as his wife. But think what the male Taks endure! Seven wives at the age of sweet sixteen, fifteen at the tender age of nineteen, and dead finally of melagastria at twenty ' one, leaving thirty-seven widows. Women are both a joy and a curse—a curse living and a joy dead. The situation of the Taks is stranger than fiction, because, not being satisfied with all their own wives, they carry on clandestine affairs with other men’s wives. What do you do with men like that? 103 SHOULD AULD ACQUAINTANCEJBE.JORGOT OO-tJr- r— i J CSxs-iLc (A c 7 Lt Oi (Lc vvjCA -A _§HQULD_AULD,, ACQUAIN 105 L The BEACON ' 1931 FOLSOM ENGRAVING COMPANY SPECIALISTS IN HIGH GRADE COLOR WORK DES1GNERS-1LLUSTRAT0RS PHOTO ENGRAVERS 470 ATLANTIC AVE., BOSTON phone: HANCOCK 5390 I ,A B — Compliments of — THE FORBES LITHOGRAPH MANUFACTURING COMPANY Please Patrovize Our Advertisers 107 The BEACON ' 1931 Northeastern University DAY DIVISION SCHOOL OF ENGINEERING In co-operation with engineering firms, offers curriculums leading to the Bachelor of Science degree in the following branches of en¬ gineering: Civil Engineering Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering Chemical Engineering Industrial Engineering SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION Co-operating with business firms, offers courses leading to the de¬ gree of Bachelor of Science in the following fields of business: Accounting Banking and Finance Business Management The Co-operative Plan of training combines theory with two years of practice.
