Ami then from hour to hour ue rot ami rot Ami therehy hair s a tale! — Shakespeare. THAT tale is one of twelve long years of diligent l.ibar for the most part. The last three years were spent at the Senior High School which to those poor unsuspecting labourers, when they first entered its portals on that gray morning seemed a labyrinth, a maze around whose every cor- ner and turn a monster in the form of a senior stood ready to pounce upon them. But soon they discovered the simplicity and restfulness of it and their fluttering hearts returned to normalcy. During that first year, there were no class affairs or functions participated in and sponsored by the whole class, but merely affairs run by individual factions. Nevertheless the idea of cooperation, of class spirit was slowlv forming itself and burst into bloom durin; the junior year. Before leav- ing the sophomore year history, it is necessary to mention that it was during that year the partici- pants of the athletics got their foundation training. Thus in that first year a crowd of individual groups had moulded itself into a single cooperating body shaking off old and former petty differ- ences and feelings and assuming new duties and new desires. In the second year the idea of independence and self-government became a cert. ' in:y and class officers were elected. The officers were as follows: Hyman Pike, president; Steven Koules, vice- president; Albert Wein, treasurer; and Minnie Glickstein, secretary. They were invested with the power to plan and fulfill the desires of the junior class. They, at the outset, planned a Junior Prom. The affair was held in January and was fairly successful for a first attempt. Toward the end of the year the officers again set themselves to having this time the Junior Frolic. This affair was 57 The BEACON i 19}2 scheduled for May but never happened, because when the tickets were placed on sale a mere five were sold and everything had to be canceled leaving the class in a debt contracted in making the plans. This debt was barely paid after a class subscription. Thus the second year, for the class, ended a sorry success. During the second year, the music department under the direction of Mr. Cleary and Miss Swanstrom successfully held a spring concert in which many of the talented mem- bers of the Junior class participated. Finally they reached their Senior year. To use the terms of the Beacon they had become at- last the Sophisticated Seniors, the upper-classman to be regarded by the Suffering Soph and Jolly Junior as an example for them to follow. The last year was a year of better successes than the preceding ones. At the outset class officers were elected. They were: James Shannon, president; Hyman Pike, vice-president; Albert Wein, treasurer; Paul Bronstein, secretary. In a short time they had plans through, for a Senior Prom in February. The affair was fairly successful. In the course of the year decisions were reached about rings, dress to be worn at graduation, class pho- tographer, class day speakers, and the time and place of reception. Likewise graduation speakers were chosen who set about carefully to prepare their speeches. In the Spring, the music department under Mr. Cleary, and Miss Swanstrom again stepped to the front this time presenting H. M. S. Pinafore, a Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta which was successfully participated in by members of all classes. A little later, in May, the Senior Class, under the direction of Mrs. Fay and Miss Kintz presented the Senior Play called It Won ' t Be Long Now. It was a jolly success on the part of the players but only a fair success financially. In June the class day and reception were held and the year ended on June 20 at graduation. Before closing men- tion must be made of those boys who have played the sports throughout their high school careers. Although they haven ' t always won, still win or lose they have learned to love the game as a fine thing. So this class of 193 2 starting in its Junior year on the wrong foot hobbled along until finally it fell into step and ended up its Senior year in a blaze of glory. As Beaumont and Fletcher say! Old time will end our story. But no time, if we end well, will end our glory. Bernard Levin. 58 The BEACON i 1932 Class Prophecy I HAVE searched the stars and the zodiac, I have translated the almanac, Have studied the works of philosophy. So complicated was your prophecy. I spoke to oracles, to soothsayers. To the fickle fates I offered prayers. With a deck of cards read the gypsy signs. Even deciphered your character lines. The bumps on your heads I measured and weighed, To the Voodo drum-beats I staggered and swayed, Nathan Steinberg Natie is an aeroplane designer. His models are shapely, none are finer; Even the girls wish they had the beauty. The texture of a Body by Steinberg. Maurice Applebaum and Louis Schwartz Pickles and Moe are flatfooted sleuths; Schwartz is the suspector, inspector and de- tector, Moe, his Shadow, is his tailer, and trailer; Their facial defects amply protects them from the effects of the dogs they muzzle. I dabbled with magic, and had a seance; Nought showed the crystal of future ' s ex- panse. In vain, I tried to pore into your fate, To discern your destiny and estate. The complex future its secrets concealed; No predictions or forecasts were revealed. And then — one day I heard my spirit call, I quickly looked up — Behold! On the wall Handwriting blazing in letters of gold! — Your destinies, fortunes, your fates were told. Sawyer Lewitsky With your attention, allow me to mention It is his intention to build an invention. With his determination, his novel creation Wins the world ' s commendation and approba- tion. Hyman Pike As a progressve candidate For Governor of this State Pike is the people ' s selection He pledges to sweep clean The political machine, And so walks off with the election. 59 The BEACON 19}2 ISADORE BURSTEIN Whose name adorns the Great White Way ? Who packs the mobs at the matinee? ' Tis Issy who thrills them to the bone. Who draws Bronx cheers and makes them groan. Harriet Skiddell The business-manager of the Burstein domicile, The adviser and family guardian; She is quite an actress herself, however; You should see the scenes they have at home. Hyman Zalcman Hymie is a money-maker, money taker, busi- ness-faker; I le heads a firm of money-lenders and nickel- spenders; A loan-shark, a merciless-collector, a heart breaker But always willing to lend you a dime. Harry Barron Seven times All-American fullback. Then the master of coach of the gridiron; Inventor of the Barren Switchback Back- switch ; . His teams are unbeatable, all-star, all-paid for. Albert Engleman Iggy is small but mitey. His ambitions and ideals are high. So once a week he climbs Pike ' s Peak And shakes hands with the sky. Ida Parker When she smiles. Icebergs melt and peaches mellow; When she laughs, Everybody laughs and volcanoes bellow. Julie Binder Julie is a fearless, undaunted, intrepid settler; First he settles his financial worries through matrimony, Then he settles in his father-in-law ' s house. And that settles him! Gertrude Rosen In a cosy kitchen She makes herself at home. Bakes cakes, fries steaks. Smokes hams, and boils clams. Sam Sussman Chief of Police is Terrible Suss, He lynches the gunmen, and hangs the crooks; He shoots the mayor, for taking graft — The dope wouldn ' t share it with Terrible Suss. Florence Lipp She types behind a door marked private, Private secretary to the Secretary of State; But what he states to her is private. Behind closed doors I, therefore, leave her fate. Paul Pete Bronstein Keyhole Pete is the hottest writer on a scan- dal sheet. His gossip is so torrid, his news so shameless, That the paper is called the Daily Flame ; And does he burn up the readers! William Berenberg Our Bold Bill is a surgeon And a specialist of note; His trained hands carve your stomach, His high prices cut your throat. Belle Rosenberg Belle smiles while the boss dictates. But smiles and teases for fun: Why should she marry a cock-eyed boss. When she can marry his handsome son. Henry Forman Black coat, black hat, black cigar in his mouth, Big Joe is an undertaker, a carcass-buryer; Everyone and everybody likes Big Joe, For Big Joe gives every body his gravest at- tention. Cabby ' Shapiro Scarface Shapiro is a name to be dreaded. The dress-suit gangster, the tuxedo-racketeer, Hi-jacker, smuggler, bootlegger, Beau-Brum- mel, He drinks dynamite mixed with beer. Raymond Plotnick He will not be a Business Man! He will be a Hunter of Elephants, A Trapper of wild game, A Shooter of Gorillas and Alligators, A Shooter of Pool, a Shooter of Craps! 60 The BEACON 2 93 2 Beatrice Zai i and Anne Shapiro Anne and Beattie do no cheating On each other with their beaus; When Annie gets a red-hot date, Then Beattie also goes. Jimmy Shannon ' Tis he who announces Bulova time, Who tells why to gargle, what soup to sip, Who talks about the weather, about dog-food; He is Satan ' s gift to mankind — a radio an- nouncer. Maurice Rosenthal Morry has a way with women. But a quicker way with men; He quickly gets rid of them. So he can find his way to the women. Florence Englemen Florence works in a broker ' s office. As a private secretary she ' s no novice. She worked her way up, till now She ' s quite capable — and how! Jack Fink For him wrestling is just a jest. The groans, the moans, the grunts and gasps; He likes to tear off a leg, chew off an arm, And loves to pull hair off one ' s chest. Mary Gershfield Mary has a little lam.

It Won ' t Be Long Now, a cleverly written comedy in three acts, from the pen of Milton Cropper, was enacted by a very capable cast. The story follows: Robert Preston (Nathan Madow) is a cold heartless young business man with the slogan Never Mix Business with Sentiment. Due to his cruelty, he loses the girl he loves, Ann Winston, played by Genevieve Bowyer. She and Dr. Walter Tally, ably personified by Isadore Burstein, plan to awaken Preston from his relentless and hard character by shocking him with the imaginary news that he has but twenty-four hours to live. The second and third acts show Preston ' s frantic efforts to make restitution to all people whom he had ignored, injured or brought sorrow upon. The event of a double wedding (which turns out to be a mock marriage) the exposal of a very dangerous political Boss, a big dinner party, the donation of lavish gifts — all contribute to the general excitement and entertainment. The hour for Preston ' s supposed death arrives, and with the realization that he is to live, he becomes a changed man. As the play goes on, the difficulties are smoothed out, and Preston em- braces his beloved Ann as the final curtain falls upon them. Nathan Madow interpreted the leading role with ease, and his excellent performance reflected creditably upon himself and his directress, Mrs. Fay. Genevieve Bowyer played her part in a man- ner which won the immediate sympathy of her audience. Thomas, the suave, gray-haired butler was played by Julius Shershow. Red-headed Beansy Blake (Danny Allen) together with Miss Wilkes (Doris Mendelsohn) and Jack Carp as Mr. Meek, formed an amusing trio. The three, of Mr. Preston ' s office force, adjusted themselves to the luxury of their employer ' s home when in- vited there to a party, to the accompaniment of the continual laughter of their audience. Lester Saipe, attending the party as Charles Dobson, a political ward-healer, created quite a sensation with his hard boiled character. 6i The BEACON i 19}2 Vivian Darell as the Thilly thimp with her shrill voice and her lisp, was played convincingly by Evelyn Bloomberg. Edward Shapiro as Frank Cullen, received warm applause at the end of his long political speech. Shapiro was accompanied on his visit to Preston ' s home by two photographers — Louis Schwartz and Julius Zeflf. Rev. Dr. Loring (Barney Bayard) turned out to be an imposter, much to the relief of all concerned. Olga, impersonated by Rose Goldfield, and Frances (Anne Shankman) were especially good in their parts of the cook and the maid, respectively. Last, but not least is Raymond Plotnick whose brogue as the Irish Policeman won many laughs. It Won ' t Be Long Now showed careful preparation and very able direction, so when Mrs. Henrietta M. Fay was called to the footlights at the end of the play, she received overwhelming applause. Mrs. Fay, as coach of the production, was assisted by Miss Helen L. Kintz. Mrs. Martha Malone had charge of a bevy of charming candy girls who sold their wares be- tween acts. Samuel Sussman filled the responsible position of stage manager capably. The prompters were Doris Mendelsohn, assisted by Rose Goldfield. The play, as a whole, was a tremendous success, and the Class of 193 2 offers heartfelt thanks to their cast and its directress. D. P.

GIVE THEM A JOB TYING THE SLIP-KNOT 67 rhe BEACON 19}2 Senior Statistics By A. Engleman WHEN the new year dawned upon us there were about four hundred thirty in our class. Approximately three hundred seventy-five filled out the questionnaire. About one hundred ninety are taking the general course, one hundred the commercial course, sixty-five the college course, and a mere nineteen are following the technical course. The following is an attempt to give a cross section of the thoughts and feelings of the classes as shown by the responses to the questionnaire. The number of years evenly distributed among us is 17.8. The Class Baby is Morton Gold- berg, fifteen years of age. The mantle of Father Time descends upon Max Oberlander. Maxie ad- mits he is twenty. The average clearance of the class is five feet seven and a half inches, and the average tonnage is one hundred thirty-two. pounds. The tallest member of our class is Philip Frankel, who claims he is six feet and three inches as for the shortest, this question was particularly hard to decide as quite a few girls thought they were five feet. Elizabeth Wilker averages supreme, as she is but four feet eleven inches tall. Our shortest boy is little Paul Bfonstein, who rises but five feet and two and one-half inches above the floor. Our ambitions are many and varied. Here are a few of the more unusual ones: To be in a position to correct experiments. A good night ' s sleep. To be a millionaire. To marry a rich widow (or widower as the case may be). Hitch-hike to California. To pass. Morris Leader is quite ambitious; he wants to be physical instructor at Radcliffe. Florence Lipp and many others have Hollywood as their ambition. The questionnaire tells us our favorite indoor sport is either sleep, writing up reports, or ping- pong, in spite of many who prefer bridge and wrestling. Outdoor sports are just as diversified. For example: running for street cars, Mah Jong, and everything from sitting on the Post Office steps, as I. R. Devonick desires, to tennis as Dot Fine and many, many others prefer. With the College and Technical divisions the favorite study seems to be, queerly, physics with Mr. Staples. Al Kulekofski favors the fifth period. Henry Forman ' s study is the female sex. Many others favor applied psychology and minerology. Our favorite amusement is still undecided as we had bumming rides, trying to keep home- work up to date, just day dreaming, the show at the Orpheum, problems in trigonometry, and much of the like to contend with. The concensus of opinion seemed to trail along the idea that it was nobody ' s business. We let it go at that. It seems that we read the Daily Record more than any other newspaper. Every one reads it for the scandal and funny section. Oscar Garber enjoys Woman ' s Home Companion, while Tena Cohen reads the Transcript. Many like Ballyhoo and The Athlantic Monthly. Raymond Plotnick on the other hand, inclines toward the Jewish Forward and Le Petit Journal. The Police Gazette is also widely read. 68 The BEACON 1932 Just plain H.O is the favored and well-chosen thirst quencher of most of us. Fanny Bennett and Sarah Dechter represents large groups which prefer, respectively, Moxie and Chocolate sodas. Some anti-pro-hibitionists drink light wines and beers. A remarkable contrast: Barney Bayard likss tea while Al Teagle loves his dry Martini, and Marty Cohen craves Vodka. Everyone has his or her favorite expression. Though some were quite emphatic, no profanity was used. Scram is Applebaum ' s choice verbiage and Aw Hedes is Rabinovitz. Don ' t know is Harriette Skiddell ' s. One poor nut likes x---y-=;;23. Without a doubt Mr. Staples is our favorite teacher. After feverish calculations, we find Mr. Boyd, Mr. Mockler, and Miss Thomas were also good to us. Leo Regnier wanted his answer taken seriously so he wrote no joke after Miss Kintz. Judging from the variety of answers, the faculty must be all O. K. as someone aptly expressed it. Steve Koules pulled the highest vote for our handsomest boy. Almost eve-y fellow voted for himself. Steve must have got hold of a few extra copies of the questionnaire. Lester Saipe, the cute brute, was just about even with Normy Gordon and Nathan Madow for next best. After the Senior Play it was pretty well decided that Genevieve Bowyer is our prettiest female member. The vote of the class strengthened this decision: The guy who mentioned Ann Shankman, however, certainly was a judge. In answering this question also the girls did not hesitate to show their lack of modesty by voting, for the most part, for themselves. They couldn ' t have been m earnest! One surprising result seems to be the fact that Sawyer Lewitsky is our best laugh-provoker. As for the laziest person, we made a wise choice when we selected William Lemberg, the walk- ing corpse. Other favored competitors for honors are Sam Lempert and Alice Gillis. The latter is no slouch when it comes to dancing as she implied in her answers. The noisiest proved to be none other than Henry Saltzman, often known as the Big Noise. None of us. Isn ' t this the Chelsea Senior High School? At the present writing about 99 44 l00 ' f of the class intend to attend the reception. The trend seems to be to the Fo ' cas ' le for the rest of the evening. Many are going to sleep and N. Stem- berg is going crazy. After the reception. Rose Goldfiend and Shirley Berkson go where be takes me. A great many took this question as an opportunity to humble us, but w.- will not prmt their cracks. Wisenheimers do not meet with our favor. Most of us expect to sleep this summer. Though quite a few intend to get a good sun-tan at some resort, many of us want to work but will probably change our minds just as soon as it gets real hot. The member or members of our class who are undecided as to going to college is surprisingly large. A miserable few are struggling to matriculate into M. I. T. and Harvard. The University of Michigan and the College of Hard Knocks seem quite popular among us. One fellow, who will probably wind up for another year as a Senior, a benefit. Who knows? The questionnaires were distributed as a test of the mental deflections and reactions of the members of our class. The work connected with it was arduous indeed. Whether it was a success or not may be judged from the above. Most of the questions were answered in a humorous sort of way, but that was expected and may be attributed to the fact that it was so near graduation. It is hoped that each of us has become at least a little better acquainted with his classmates. 69 The BEACON i 193 2 Q Z n Vi X H 70 The BEACON 1932 Band THE Chelsea High School Band has accomplished more this year, than ever before. They played for the inauguration exercises when the present mayor Lawrence F. Quigley was officially put into office. And they certainly were a success. At the football games for which the band played they did credit to the Chelsea High School for they made a beautiful appearance on the field in their red and black sweaters and military caps, white flannel or duck trousers, with Henry Saltzman performing with the baton and leading the band. In the parade on Memorial Day the band played like real veterans displaying its ability (at least they sounded that way to the Chelsea High School pupils.) During the fifth period up to the last recess practically every Tuesday the band rehearsed in the auditorium under the tutelage of the master of music, Mr. Cleary, with Henry Saltzman wield- ing the baton. As soon as it got warm enough the band started rehearsing outside while parading in their uniforms. The C. H. S. is proud and honored to have a band as accomplished as is this one. All the praise given to and all the laudatory columns written the High School band is merited. The students have thoroughly enjoyed rehearsing the varied and interesting repertoire selected for them by Mr. Cleary, and those pupils not in the band have enjoyed even more the rendering of those selections at the assemblies for which the band played. The band lost many of its members when the class of 1932 graduated. The band members are: Conii ' ts, fib Harry Emenian William Levy Saul Wilner David Maltzman Philip Kectic Israel Baker Charles Moores Edward Axlerod Simon Block Wallace Kirby Paul Matrinka Marilyn Francis Alto Horn Ellsworth Evans Sam Gurman Bb Solyriino Sit olfhuiH- Jack Goodman fib Clariuv s George Preedman Antony Zaitz Ben Silverstein Sam Rubin Tioiuhnncs Robert LaCava Ralph Koplovitz Antony Bryc Herman Karl Sam Westerman Isaac Malkin Drum Major Henry Saltzman Biirifone George LeGrow Sollsalyhoiii- Julius Rubinstein Drums Herman Trager Alfred LaCava Harold Healey CyJirhah Chester Squibb Edward Sokol £b Alto Saxophone Clarence Rosemark Manuel Gaman Jack Carp 71 The BEACON i 193 2 72 The BEACON 1932 Orchestra ONE of the most successful seasons of the Chelsea Senior High Orchestra was completed when the orchestra performed for the Commencement exercises on June 20. The entire orchestra has played at most of the school assemblies. The selected Baby Grand ' Orchestra has played at the Evening High graduation, at the Americanization exercises, and for the disabled veterans of the soldiers ' home. A selected group has also played for the operetta Pinafore. The same group played for the Senior play. The school instrumental trio consists of three members of the Chelsea High School orchestra. They are Joseph Burstein, ' 32 and Francis Ryan, ' 33, the two violinists and Ruth Slotnick, 32, pianist. The conductor of the orchestra, who is the Supervisor of Music for the Chelsea schools, Mr. Cleary, has seen to it that the orchestra has always had a varied program. A few of the highlights of the repertoire consists of operatic numbers such as melodies from famous Italian operas as II Travatore, Ernani, Rigoletto and the Barber of Seville. There is also a group of selections from La Traviata. Another favorite orchestral number is Around the Campfire, which con- tains the selections of American Soldier Songs. Then, of course, Ltraussiana, which has excerpts from the waltz of Strauss, the great Waltz King. With the graduation of the Senior class the orchestra lost many accomplished performers, for twenty-seven of the sixty-nine members were seniors. The orchestra had its weekly meetings this year during the fifth period through the first two recesses every Wednesday. A great many rehearsals of the entire orchestra were missed on account of the operetta Pina- fore, with which Mr. Cleary was very busy. The orchestra members are: Joseph Burstein, Concert Master Francis Ryan, 2nd Concert Master Murray Cohen Thomas Swierk Hillel Cotten George Shatsman Zygmont Dembrowski Louis Scyzekankowski Saul Silberman 7 s Cornets in Israel Baker David Maltzman Wallace Kirby £b Alto Saxophone.

Henry Katz, in charge of the designing of the book, had the hardest job of all, but found time to draw the staff heading just the same. David Katz was another Trojan. If you look closely you will find his signature on the senior cartoons, the Pinafore cartoons, the editorial heading, and the music heading. Wallace Kirby is the gentleman who drew the frontis- piece, and the foreword is a product of Abraham Schultz ' genius. The ladies also had a part in the doings. Doris Mendelsohn did the art work on the contents. The heading at the top of this page is the work of Sophie Berkowitz. And Celia Miller wielded pen and pencil to produce the prophecy design. Sam Novoselsky did a fine piece of work on the seal, the central portion of which is an accurate copy of a seal belonging to George Washington. He also produced the sports heading. The history artist is Fred Redigan, and the bookplate which will hold your name was designed by Ray- mond Plotnick. 75 The BEACON i 1932 76 The BEACON i 1932 The Traffic Squad AT the beginning of the school year ten members of the senior class were chosen to maintain . order and dispel rowdyism in any form in the corridors or rooms. Needless to say the mem- bers chosen were trustworthy and industrious workers. Throughout the year they mamtained order until the result of their tireless efforts were noticeable. During the year representatives from the junior and sophomore classes were also chosen for the traffic squad to gain experience, thus enabling them to carry on the work so nobly started, and to maintain a high standard of order and gentlemanly conduct in our high school. The squad was under the supervision of Mr. Mockler, with Samuel Sussman, ' 3 2, directing head in charge of the members of the squad. Robert Cummings ' 33, was later chosen his .tssistant. Next year he succeeds Sam. The members of the squad include: Seniors: Samuel Sussman, Nathan Madow, Martin Cohen, Max Oberlander, Eugene Januez, Isadore Burstein, David Freedman, and Julius Binder; Juniors: Robert Cummings, and Irving Burns; Sophomores: Lake. 77 The BEACON 19U 78 The BEACON 19}2 The Quarterly Beacon Anna Kuhn M. E. StLW ART Margaret Banican THE Beacon of 1932 has had a literary standard as high as any in previous years. The innova- tions that have been made in the handling of the magazine will be of much more importance than the literary standard to Beacons of the future, however. The policy of having one member of the staff responsible for the layout of the Beacon will prevent any future school magazine from seeming like a hodge-podge. The last issue of the 1932 Beacon was handled by an entirely new staff, composed almost exclusively of juniors and sophomores. The seniors were enabled to manage the yearbook without a let-down in the quality of the school magazne. The new staff will probably be in control of the Beacon next year, and the experience gained this year will prove a valuable asset.

David Maltzman Secretary RUTH COHEN Treasurer Julius Lazin Junior Class Notes THE present Junior Class of 193 3 entered the portals ot the Chelsea High School in Septem- bsr, 1930 and at the very beginning started out to make a name for itself. The first function of the class was the election of officers, namely: Milton Helman, President; David Maltzman, Vice-President; Julius Lazin, Treasurer; and Ruth Cohen, Secretary. The long-anticipated Junior Prom was held Frid ay evening, February 5, 1932 in the High School Auditorium. Under the chairmanship of Alexander Gordon, the affair proved a success both financially and Socially. With due credit to the Junior Prom Committee, the hall was beautifully decorated. The Junior Class contributed greatly to the sporting activities of the school. It boasts of an all-round athlete, William Blanchard. In both basketball and football they showed some real fighting spirit. There are also many members of our class on the Beacon Staff. Although the Juniors have excelled in Athletics and Social activities they have not neglected their studies, so that when they re-enter next fall they will continue this fine work. Ruth Cohen, Secretary. 81 The BEACON i 19U S2 The BEACON i 193 2 Basketball, 1932. By Paul P. Bronstein A SPECTACULAR, one-hand shot by Turk Saltzman, sophomore substitute centre, with the score tied and a second to play in the final game against Winthrop brought to a close another Red and Black basketball season. Bill Kennelly once again coached the team while Ed Mockler arranged the schedule of nineteen games against the finest teams in the state. Not one veteran from the year before was available, and for the first time in many years the team was outscored, although by only five points, 543 to 548. The first five was composed of three seniors and two juniors. Those who will not return next year are Harry Barron, centre and Bill Lemberg and Art Palladino the guards. However, Kennelly will have Leo Berg and Jerry Gold, the forwards, back again next year while he can call upon Turk Saltzman at centre along with Teddy Rosenthal, Mat Merlinsky, Doug MacLeod and Isadore Stavisky, all of whom played fine ball for the second team. With this array of basket tossers, Chelsea should once again attain the prestige that was once hers in the basketball world. Although it lost one more game than it won the 1932 team was much better than its record indicates. The Red Devils defeated Rindge Tech, a Tech tourney choice, lost by one point to Medford, another Tech choice, and was nosed out in the last few minutes of their game against Brockton, which copped the Tech tournament. Chelsea inauspiciously opened its season on Jan. 6 with a loss to Lynn English. Then in suc- cession Arlington, Medford, Rindge Tech and Lynn English turned back our heroes. The win column was dented for the first time on Jan. 26, with the Reds in the long end of a 16 to 1} serve against Everett. Then Chelsea lost to Brockton and Medford with a victory over Dov er, N. H., being sandwiched in between the losses. Then Kennelly ' s hoopsters decided that it was time to be consistent in their wins so they went out and polished off Rindge Tech, Wmthrop and Franklin in succession. After this streak, Everett and Dover took revenge for their earlier set- backs, following which Chelsea won two in a row from Gloucester and Franklin. Then Brockton made it two straight over the Devils and the latter closed their season on March 9 with a hair- raising finish against Winthrop. 83 The BEACON 19U Leo Berg topped the regulars in scoring with a total of 126 points, being followed in order by Jerry Gold, Art Palladino, Bill Lemberg and Harry Barron.

The most interesting part of the second team season was the race for top honors among the scorers, waged between Matthew MerHnsky, a junior and Ted Rosenthal, a sophomore. The former finally copped the honors with 77 points while Rosenthal gained 72 points. These two should provide a great scoring punch for Kennelly ' s 193 3 team.

THE Football team of 1931-1932 was looked upon with misgivings by the followers of Chelsea High, because only one veteran was left from the team of last year. In the opening game, Chelsea tied Lynn Classical and then lost to Norwood. Hopes arose at the game with the stronger Hyde Park Team after Chelsea had tied the score. Chelsea then lost three successive games to Mansfield, Salem and Peabody. Then the team won the first game in two years from Gloucester, only to tie with the weaker Winthrop team. The loss so dispirited the team, that it fell prey to Nashua, Everett, and then Revere. Although the scores were against Chelsea, the games were hard fought, so that the oppo- nents never for a moment thought that Chelsea High was a cinch.

Bronstein A 5 to 2 victory over Winthrop High oflicially opened the 1932 baseball season for Chelsea. Previous to the opening game, about twenty-five uniformed athletes had put in several diligent practice sessions under the eagle-eye of Coach Bill Kennelly. Those who received uniforms from Kennelly were Art Palladino, George Duval, Normie Ball, Gene Janusz, Johnny Cronin, Andy Kopanski, Johnny Soboewski, Paul Kornechuck, Joe Zalewski, Jim Woodward, Willie O ' Neill, Jim Powers, George Karonis, Tom Lake, Frank Saladino, Arigio LaTanzi, Leon Krentzman, Sam Lem- pert, Bill Sherman, Ed Brown, Bill Krilczak, Bill Thornton, Ed Wozniak, Spud Murphy and Ed Domenichello. Chelsea made it two in a row with a 6 to 4 victory over Denny Gilden ' s Everett High Team in a well played contest on May 16. Kennelly stuck to his original line-up with Art Palladino serving up his left-handed slants to the Everett batters. Art not only did well on the mound but also aided the cause with a triple, double and single at the bat. However Paul Kornedhuck was again the best bet at bat continuing his fine hitting with four wallops in as many trips to the platter. George Duval ' s spectacular over-the-shoulder catch of a tly in deep left centre featured the game. The team was co-captained by Morris Shlomovitz and Joe Zalewski. The managerial group consisted of Hyman Cohen ' 3 2 and his assistants Barnet Gray ' 3 3 and Louis Comenitz ' 34. The schedule for the season is as follows: May 4 Winthrop at Chelsea June 3 Chelsea at Everett June 24 Chelsea at Quincy May 16 Everett at Chelsea June 8 Chelsea at Winthrop June 27 Quincy at Chelsea 87 The BEACON 1932 2 tu H pa 88 The BEACON 1932 Girls ' Basketball As usual the call for girls for basketball was met with a great deal of enthusiasm. Many of the girls from last year ' s team reported for practice and many newcomers were welcomed to take part in that sport. Everyone looked forward to trying their skill with the skill of neighboring teams, such as: Medford, Maiden, Everett, etc. Meeting new faces and making new acquaintances played a great part in each girl ' s mind, for even in case of an occasional defeat, we felt as though we lost nothing, but gained a great deal by playing the game and coming in contact with so many new people. At the beginning of our season, we elected both a captain and manager. Miss Genevieve Bowyer, Captain; and Miss May Clasky, Manager proved to be very efficient and reliable as our officials of the team. With Miss McCalmont, our coach, we can look back to an ever-enjoyable season, for it was with her help that we were able to complete so successful a schedule. The girls who were on the first team are as follows: Right Forward Left Forward . Jumping Center Side Center Right Guard . Left Guard Subs Winifred Taylor Rose Javian May Clasky Genevieve Bowyer Rachel Finn Florence White Beatrice Sherr Elizabeth Fitzpatrick Mary Girsheield To end up with a brilliant string of victories was not the only desire and utmost ambition of the players, for they believed in finding pleasure and fun in playing, as well as work in the sport which they undertook. A good sport is one who can face victory or defeat and come out with a smile, for he has found pleasure in his particular field of sport. Such was the attitude that the members of this year ' s team assumed. Each year the girls ' basketball team has looked forward to a schoal recognition in the way of awards. This year we were very fortunate in securing that recognition. Not only were the boys given their letters and sweaters, but the girls were awarded with letters and small basketball charms, together with the honor of receiving them in the auditorium. With this basketball season successfully closed we can honestly say that we see in some of the coming players, a very promising team for next year.

Stewart Oscar Spritz Maxine Bailey William Berenberg A DEBATE was held between Al and AAl, two senior sections of the College Preparatory Course on the proposition: Resolved: that the College Entrance Examination Boar d should be abolished. The team in section AAl made up of Jane Hand, Maxine Bailey and Joseph Burstein upheld the affirmative and was given the decision after an interesting argument had been given by both sides. Through the wish of some of the pupils, a debating club was formed under the direction of Mr. M. E. Stewart, head of the Department of English. Six charter members were chosen and they, in turn, at a meeting, elected the following officers: President, Oscar Spritz; Vice-President, Maxine Bailey; and Secretary, William Berenberg. The other charter members of the club are Jane Hand, Sarah Wishnevitsky, and Albert Rabinovitz. Chelsea engaged Winthrop in a forensic contest in the school auditorium for the first inter- city debate to be held in several years. The Winthrop High School debaters upholding the negative side of the question: Resolved, That Trial by jury should be abolished, received the decision of three judges after careful deliberation. William Berenberg was the first speaker for the affirmative, followed by Jane Hand and Oscar Spritz, who also gave the rebuttal. Samuel Stavisky was the alternate. Members of the winning Winthrop team including Ruth Weiss, first speaker; Ralph Harper, second speaker; Gilbert Grodzins, third speaker; and Winslow Fisher, alternate. Harper gave the rebuttal. We hope that Chelsea High School will put a debating team into the field annually as they have done in the past, and contend with the neighboring high schools in forensic contests. 92 The BEACON 1932 French Club Faculty Adviser • • Miss Maude Mitchell President Albert Rabinovitz ' 32 Vice-President ......•■• Josiah Greenberg ' 33 Secretary .....••••• Myer Krulfeld ' 32 Treasurer ......••■• Shirley Berkson ' 32 THE French Club in the second year of its existence, repeated the success of last year, once again under the able supervision of Miss Mitchell, assisted by the other teachers of French. This year a new plan was adopted, that of admitting into the club all senior students who were interested in the project — and this, with the active membership of the juniors and the admission of two honor pupils from each sophomore section, has made a large and enthusiastic club. Club meetings were scheduled for once a month and were conducted entirely in French by President Rabinovitz, assisted by his officers, and Nathan Madow, master of ceremonies. There have been delightful playlets, French songs, anecdotes and stories, short compositions and informal talks upon topics of interest to the French student. Crossword puzzles, riddles, and jokes were mtro- duced into the programs so that there was not a dull moment. No doubt, the opportunity of actual conversation and social informality in French has served to broaden the members ' knowledge of the language. It is hoped that next year ' s club will attam a degree of success still greater than that which has heretofore been experienced. 93 The BEACON 19U German Club Faculty Adviser President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Miss Shaw Abraham Rabinovitz ' 32 Isaac Malkin ' 3 3 Edward Sokol ' 32 Oscar Spritz ' 32 FREUNDSCHAFT Der Mensch bat iiichts so eigen, So wohl steht ihm nichts an, Als dass er Treii erzeigen, Und Freundschaft haltcn kanii; Wenn cr mit selves Gleichcn Soil t re ten hi ciii Band, Verspricht er nicht zii iveicbcn Mit Herzen, Mund, und Hand. ANOTHER successful year has just been concluded by the Deutscher Vcrein. Under the direction of our supervisors. Miss Gertrude Shaw and Miss Ruth Severance each meeting has been made an enjoyable and profitable one. The aim of the Deutscher Verein is to create a better knowledge of Germany and the Ger- mans through literature, drama and music. This has been accomplished by the production of a play, Uhiinfi, macbt den Master, short skits and musical programs. Helen Namyet has been song leader. Under the direction of Maurice Shauffer a special program was given in the auditorium on April 8, 1932, to commemorate the centennial of the death of Goethe, the greatest of German poets, at which the entire German Department was present. Interesting facts about Goethe ' s life and works were told and fitting tribute was paid to his memory. At the farewell meeting of the club refreshments were served and the Seniors recited Freund- schaft for the last time. 94 The BEACON 193 2 Science Club Faculty Adviser Chairman Assistant Secretary ' ' . Mr. Carl Staples Donald Guy ' 32 Hyman Kaitz ' 3 3 Julius Binder ' 32 THE succes;. of the Science Club was largely due to the aid of Mr. Staples in furnishing it, the materials, and suggestions necessary to conduct a suitable program. The members take this opportunity to express heartfelt thanks to him for his trouble. The programs as a rule consisted of illustrations of certain phenomena of chemistry materials and of the solar system. Experimentation on these peculiarities followed by explanations was of the greatest interest to the members. However, the capable talks given by the various members were not lacking. The intense interest shown by the members during the programs forces us to think that Mr. Staples will do well to continue such a worthy organization in the years to come. Julius Binder. 95 The BEACON 19}2 Chemistry Club President Samuel Sussman ' 32 Vice-President Bernard Davis ' 3 2 Treasurer Benjamin Levine ' 32 Secretary Doris Mendelsohn ' 3 2 THE Chemistry Club, under the able guidance of Mr. Edwin J. Mockler, was organized in No- vember by a group of students who sought to further their scientific knowledge. The club, originally, was composed of fifty members. Interesting experiments were performed at the weekly meetings, from which the members gained much valuable material with which to benefit their regular school work. Detailed lectures by Mr. Mockler and several students served to promote new interests in chemistry, and to teach the Club ' s members the importance of careful investigation and study. The Chemistry Club has planned, as a climax to a successful season, a picnic at Lake Boone, Mass.

Folsom, is responsible for the success - - of the printing of the Quarterly Beacon. The process of printing the Beacon is perhaps more complicated than most students think. After the manuscript is prepared it is sent out to be linotyped. When the copy is returned m the form of slugs it must be proof read and all corrections made. The proofs are cut up and mounted in a dummy to show their location in the book. The type is made up into pages by following the dummy. If the book contains twenty-eight pages, page one and twenty-eight are printed at the same time. Pages two and twenty-seven are on the opposite side of one and twenty-eight. The num- ber of pages in each book must be a multiple of four. The printed pages have to be separated with sheets of paper to prevent blot or offset. Later these sheets are removed. Each group of pages is then folded and assembled in the proper order, bound and trimmed. In addition to the Quarterly Beacon the Printing Department also prints all school forms such as report cards, program cards, attendance slips, letter heads, library slips, and special forms used m distributing the Quarterly Beacon. This year a course of study for Grade Three, ninety-three pages in length, has been printed. On occasion posters, folders, and school manuals are printed. 98 The BEACON 1932 Sayings of George Washington, Soldier, Statesman, and the first President of the United States. As to pay, Sir, I beg leave to assure the Congress that as no pecuniary consideration could have tempted me to accept this arduous employment at the expense of my domestic ease and happiness, I do not wish to make any profit from it. — lit Congress on his appointinciit as Co7umandcr-in-Chief, June 16, 1775. Few men have virtue to withstand the high- est bidder. I hope I shall always possess firmness and virtue enough to maintain what I consider the most enviable of all titles, the character of an Honest Man. Let us raise a standard to which the wise and honest can repair; the rest is in the hands of God. — Speech to the Constitutional Contention, 17 S7. It, gaming, is the child of avarice, the brother of iniquity, and the father of mischief. — Letter to BushroJ Washington, Jan. n, 178h A slender acquaintance with the world must convince every man that actions, not words, are the criterion of the attachment of friends; and that the most liberal professions of good- will are very far from being the surest marks of it. True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appella- tion. Of all the dispositions and habits which lead to political prosperity. Religion and Morality are indispensable supports. In vain would that man claim the tribute of Patriotism who should labor to subvert those pillars of human happi- ness, these firmest props of the duties of Men and Citizens. — Farewell Address to the People of the United States. Without a humble imitation of the divine Author of our blessed religion, we can never hope to be a happy nation.
