We, certainly, do not claim the sole credit for this accomplishment; we are happy to acknowledge fully the great aid and contribution of Miss Kohlrausch and Mr. M. E. Stewart, our faculty advisors, our printer, engraver, and photographer. Just as this book will afford—we hope—many pleasant reminiscences to our classmates in years to come, so our contacts made while editing this edition will augment our fond memories of High School days.

We were those people, destined to bear the laurels of the Class of 1933. Filled with pleasant anticipation, we dreamed of intellectual and physical greatness until our awe of the dignified faculty placed us once again back to solid ground. Treated very cordially by Headmaster Webber and the upper classmen, we soon became acc ustomed to our new environment and spent an enjoyable year, in which many of our classmates participated in the numerous school functions. When we entered the portals of Chelsea Senior High School the following year, we were classified as Juniors. We were now a part of this great school and not newcomers. What a hectic year that was! Many students complained that it was a grind. We made our first attempt at unity when we placed the responsibility of the class upon the shoulders of Milton Helman, our President. He was ably assisted by David Maltzman, Vice-President; Julius Lazin, Treasurer; and Ruth Cohen, Secretary. Through the combined efforts of the officers and committee, and through the ardent support of the student body, the Junior Prom, held in February, was a complete success, financially and socially. The success of the Junior Prom paved the way to another brilliant affair, the Junior Frolic, held in May. This, too, was successful. When June ended we had passed the second milestone of our trip through Chelsea Senior High School. The following Fall we entered as seniors. Immediately we began planning for the election of the men who were to guide us through our last, and most glorious and busiest year at the High School. We chose as our class officers: Benjamin Ginsburg, President; Bennet Kramer, Vice-President; Shepard Runstein, Secretary; and Julius Fazin, Treasurer. A new feature in class government was the Student Council, which was elected by popular vote, and which substituted for all committees, such as those that had been selected by the presidents of former years. The Council was fairly successful and met with the approval of both the faculty and the student body. For our Class Day, to be held on June 9, we elected Max Gold, Orator; David Maltzman, Prophet; and Isaiah Ulitsky, Historian. December saw us dancing at the Senior Prom, a brilliant success. In March the Senior Play, “Captain Applejack”, in which every actor performed excellently, was witnessed by a large audience. The leading roles were enacted by Edward Duggan, Ruth Gordon and Minnie Siegal. In athletics the class was represented by competent varsities which enjoyed fairly successful seasons, especially the boys’ basketball team. All the varsities were captained by Seniors: football, William Blanchard; boys’ basketball, Feo Berg and Jerry Gold; girls’ basketball, May Clasky; and baseball, John Cronin. The Debating Team won the majority of its debates, one victory over Everett, one over Revere, and one loss to Fynn English. Max Borkum was chosen editor-in-chief of the “Beacon”. Due credit to him for the remarkable publications that he issued. And now, here we are on Class Day awaiting the two most glamorous of all the events of our high school day s—graduation and the reception. The reception is the peak of three years of social life; the nineteenth of June will successfully conclude three years of hard work and play. Graduation Day brings us up to the threshold of a new life. Soon we shall be surrounded by new things and new events. However, no matter what sort of future fate may have in store for us, we shall always remember the happy years we spent at the Chelsea Senior High School, whose name we shall evermore honor and revere. 11 MAYSIE ELIZABETH BALLEW rf.

Not only was it first to have a student council, but it also was the first to stage a Class Day during which the students were per¬ mitted to run the school and the various departments. Class Day was held on June 9, 1933. From the beginning of school at 8:35 A.M. through the fourth period, the Seniors had complete charge of the school. There was a student principal and students were teachers. These were nominated by the regular teachers and appointed by the committee in charge of the affairs of the day. To President Gins- burg went the honor of being Superintendent of the schools. Hyman Rovner acted in the capacity of Mr. Webber, William Broidy as Mr. Davis. At the end of the fifth period the Seniors were summoned to the auditorium where they were entertained by the Class Day Speakers. Isaiah Ulitsky delivered the Class His¬ tory, Max Gold followed with the Class Oration, and David Maltzman regaled us with the Class Prophecy. As the fourth and last speaker, Milton Helman read the class statistics as compiled for the Year Book. In the evening, a dance was held for Seniors only in the gymnasium from 8:00 P.M. until midnight with refreshments served gratis to those who attended. The day was a grand success and everybody was afforded an opportunity to derive some amusement from the diversity of entertainment offered. 52 HAS MODERN YOUTH A PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE? CLASS ORATION, by MAX GOLD I F we were to announce to the world of today that modern youth has a philosophy of life, our elders would probably throw up their hands in despair at such a fallacious statement. “How can you say that,” they would ask, “when so many of our young people leave high school or college with few or no ideas of how to live? They have no definite aims; they don’t know what they are going to do or how they are going to do it. What this nation needs is young men and women who know what to do.” No one will deny that youth today is living in a world of complexities. It is faced with the severest political, social and economic problems which our country has ever yet experienced. Speed has become the universal language, the human being as well as every¬ thing else has become highly standardized and mechanized. Artificiality has replaced nat¬ uralness and reality. The sophisticated and the blase have been approved by dame fashion. Yet from this seething cauldron of complexities youth has emerged with a practical and workable philosophy of life, a philosophy which even our elders must recognize. Our colleges and universities are at present crammed with thousands of students; and many more thousands are clamoring for admission. Educators are at the end of their wits trying to eliminate as many as possible by tightening the college entrance requirements, but even these drastic measures do not seem to stop the endless flow to our institutions of learning. Why then this undaunted determination to go to college? What does it mean? It means that modern youth fully realizes the opportunities which education has to offer and is determined to obtain it at all costs in spite of the severest financial conditions with which we have to contend. It means that youth has set his heart and soul on some ideal, some goal. Whether it be journalist, teacher, scientist, musician, business man or diplomat —all indicate striving ambition. Does this sound as if our young men and women did not know what they were going to do? Does this sound as if youth is lacking a philosophy of life? Our religious and cultural institutions claim many youthful adherents not because youth is suddenly changing but because drastic reforms have been effected in their programs. Youth flocks to the churches and temples because it both understands and enjoys the reformed ideals and teachings of modern educators as contrasted with the stern puritanical ideas of old. Our teachers and educators would just as soon participate in a game of basketball with us as subject us to a severe examination. This mutual understanding between students and teachers is one of the triumphs of this modern age. “The old order changeth yielding place to the new.” Is this not an indication of the broader development of youth’s outlook on life? Is this not a practical and workable philosophy on the part of both teachers and students? “What has youth to answer for the shameful neglect and disregard of family ties and obligations?” ask our elders. “Do you consider that a true philosophy of life?” No one will deny that the family is America’s greatest institution. It is the most influential factor in our lives. It gives us love, loyalty, devotion and self-sacrifice. But the time must come when the young man or woman must slowly but surely disengage himself from its ties. This is a natural tendency. The young man selects his profession and begins to develop his personality and mould his character from his contacts and experi¬ ences with the outside world. But here is where the family steps in and assumes the role of dictator. It presses upon him to conform to its customs, habits, and to the opinion of the little social world which surrounds it. Youth must never lose his love and devotion to his family. But it is his duty not to submit to the family’s demands and thus stifle his own individuality and initiative. He must show his love to his family by a resolute and determined assertion of his own individuality. This is youth’s answer, this is education’s demand, this is youth ' s philosophy of life. 53 PROPHECY OF 1933 By DAVID MALTZMAN It is not an easy task, what I am to do Talk about you—and you—and you. I trust you will listen to what I say, Do not be shocked, I hope and pray. NOAH LEVINE Noah built himself an ark, Just for him and his pal. I’ll bet you haven’t heard the news, He’s got himself a gal. MILTON WEISSBERG Milton’s memory’s improved, For him it finally behooved, To a doctor to go to get some pills To help him remember to pay his bills. DOT SAMSON We no longer wonder what’s in the sky That makes Dot hold her head so high, For her husband goes in for aviation And Dot is filled with much elation. GEORGE DUVAL “Dodo” is now an all-star pro And has gained great fame, He’s got a gal that’s in the dough, Ahem! The old army game! RACHAEL FINN Good-looking Rachael, of course, not too smart. The vamp of all the male teachers, No longer has her spell of blue, L. B.’s come along and has been wooed. SYLVIA KRENTZMAN T he best of all the best sports, And one swell kid, they all agree, But she has one little failing: When she starts talking—-oh, Lord! Is there no end? JERRY GOLD He is not a business man—nay, indeed! He plays basketball, football, baseball, and is a chemist of highest rank. Oh yes, in his spare time he sings in operas. BEATRICE GOLDMAN Still the same Beaty, so sweet and demure, With cute little wiles And such winning smiles, An operetta singer she’s lured. SAUL WILNER In high school Chubby’s speed was lauded, His feet were fleet; Now he’s been rewarded, He’s messenger boy for Emesenpete. ISRAEL SMITH For him wrestling is just a jest, The groans, the moans, the oohs, But now at last he’s at his best, He’s coach at Michigan U. MAX LONDON The Fakir is hale, not heighty. When it comes to talking, he’s mighty; But oh! alas! alack, and a day, He laughs at his own jokes. LEO BERG Parentheses used to be so cheery and happy When he dream’t during high school days, But now his dreams are shattered— All the little Bergs are bowlcgged. BEN GINSBURG Chief of Chelsea Police force, Is our good friend Ben. And when his prisoners are free, They become real honest men. HARRY MILNER He tried selling peanuts at Carter ground But that wasn’t so profitable, he found, Now he’s a watchman, only by night, For he’s discovered that sleeping is his only delight. I MINNIE SIEGEL Still at the piano, tickling the keys, Her fingers just as busy as bees, She looks quite dignified, at the piano-seat, But, oh, if she only wouldn’t keep time with her feet. ANNIE COHEN Annie has become a fortune teller And for her nothing could be swellcr, For when in gossip you get her started, She has all of us outsmarted. CHARLES LEMPERT Charles, greatest of Spanish athletes, Throws more ‘ bull” than any man he meets; But if to call his bluff you should dare, You could say, “Sharlee, vas you dcre?” CATHERINE HARTLEY She holds her head way up in the air, Does this lady who is so fair: But, what is this that I hear? She still goes to dances in Revere? FREDA BERGER “Freda, let us hear you play,” You now hear everybody say, For she has a band of great renown And is very popular in our town. ROBERT LaCAVA Once thought to be so very cruel For making his trombone bray like a mule, Bob grew tired of taking those tosses And now plays only on the “hosses.” JULIE RUBINSTEIN He has contracted a passion for movies And every night you hear him sigh, “Gosh! this is pitifully sad! Why did the heroine have to die?” MORRIS TOBIN After years of experience in driving, you sec A Chauffeur he thought he’d be. In the Rolls, in uniform, he’s realized his ambish, As he awaits for his mistress, Lizzie Tish. MAX BORKUM Editor-in-chief of the Daily News, On stuff fit to print he has his own views, He gets so much valuable dirt That Walter Chinwell feels badly hurt. EDDIE MAHONEY Selling books from door to door, Refused by housewives by the score. He is told, “Go away, Mr. Mahoney, We know that it’s the old baloney.” POP BELSON He thoroughly believes in the golden rule And couldn’t bear to leave Chelsea High School, So he’s taking a P. G. course. Pell me, Pop, is it by force? BENJAMIN GOODMAN Benny does not rush to work As he did in the days of yore, And when he gets home Saturday nights He says, “I wonder why she’s sore?” SAMUEL POPOVSKY Sam is recovering from a severe shock, He kept his money under key and lock, Imagine his horror, when, without a care He looked, and his fifty cents wasn’t there. 55 BOB CUMMINGS The ice business has gone on the rocks And, as Bob is sly as a fox, He’s gone in for Frigidaire And things are looking quite fair. MAX GOLD Speeches and orations won him fame, But, to put some pep in the game He now talks on educational reform, I’m afraid his listeners are thinking of chloroform. WILLIAM BLANCHARD Bill is a great doctor, all aglow Takes the sick, and makes them healthy grow, But something is the matter; oh curses! He’s gone and fallen for one of those nurses. DAVE MILLER Now that Dave has grown to manhood His voice is low and fit, For with some proud young lady He is trying to make a hit. JOE DANBOFSKY Yosel is a history teacher And holds a great position, For with the help of Mr. Green, He at length realized his ambition. MAX GARDNER Maxie finally married Ann, What is the trouble that I see? Is it that, because of Ann’s father, A pious boy Max must be? MORRIS ZIRLIN Morris is very bashful and shy, You should see him when a girl passes by, Boy! Doesn’t he wish he were a sheik, For then some fair lady he would seek. ABE PORTIN Abe now has a pharmacy And is making his way, I’m sure we wish him lots of luck For he deserves it, I’d say. MILTON HELMAN and MATTHEW MERLINSKY Still together, and going strong Although some folks say “it won’t be long.” Partners in business, Milton stands the gaff While Matthew is the bigger and louder half. STANLEY BURKE Stanley is up in the air, “Say,” he yells, “is this fair? I’m sick and tired of being the goat—” And it’s all because Winnie wants a fur coat! ALICE ZABLOTSKY A petite young miss with lots of charm, She’s always bright and gay; With many young men at her heels She whiles her time away. GERTRUDE RUTSTEIN RUTH GORDON Now an actress of great ability She performs her part with much agility, And when she gets a hand. Say, doesn’t she feel grand! HYMAN TENOVSKY After years, hard and slow, Hy’s now making lots of dough, For he is chief order boy for M. Winer And he thinks that nothing could be finer. FRANCIS RYAN In the hall applause broke out, On the stage he stood, in the middle, And there arose a mighty shout For it was Francis with his fiddle. Dimples fair and brunette hair Belong to this smiling lass, She says a cheerful word to all Whenever she does pass. DOTTY LEWIS Very small, but full of fun. All our hearts she’s surely won; Happy, romping, free from care, Forms with imps and sprites a pair. BARNET GRAY Shrieking, howling, sure enough. There sits Barney trying his stuff; Rushing is his audience from this din— When he plays fiddle, it’s really a sin. ISAIAH ULITSKY The comedian of his class, He makes us laugh and yell; When we’re feeling sad and blue, A funny joke he’ll tell. 56 FLORENCE LEARNED Says she’s devoting her life to her profession But that is not a true expression, For gazing at the light that in her eye shines, I know that on some man she has designs. JENNIE TOMASHPOL Gentle she is, and very fair, A nurse she has become—so there. Her patients are well but they protest That they’re ill and need a rest. RALPH DENNENBERG Turning, Ralph smiled and flushed, When he saw a girl he always blushed, But in love he never fell, Why? I’ll never tell. NORMAN COHEN Norman has a great big car, In it he travels near and far. His chauffeur drives as in the back Normie sits, He’s got a good job and with the politicians he fits. DOUGLAS MacLEOD Doug is now our mayor, We all backed him you will see, Not merely on his merits But an honest man is he. SIMON BLOCK He was playing on his trumpet And his face grew very red, As the leader of the band got up And said, “Block you are a-head.” BENJAMIN SWARTZ One of the most accomplished dancers That you could ever meet, And he claims that “ ’twas fixing sodas’’ Made him so light on his feet. GEORGE LUSH Now that George is famous. This news he does impart, “It was selling papers That first gave me my start.” HAROLD LITCHMAN Still waiting on the corner But now with new delight, For the long-lost prosperity Is coming to his sight. HAROLD NEWMAN How he does it We don’t know, For he fights wild lions In Barnum’s new show. MEYER LEAVITT He’s now a man of wisdom And knows just what to do, If you treat him squarely He’ll be a pal to you. NETTY SHAPIRO A fashion expert of high degree, She often takes trips across the sea, And brings back styles, loud or mild, Over which the women all go wild. GEORGE DALIS A millionaire is George Dalis And he lives in a beautiful palace, All day he lounges in red pajamas, And it’s all due to selling bananas. SAMUEL DAVIS “Shiniel” is now proud owner Of a large chain store, And Arlington Street people Now know him no more. SARAH BENJAMINSON “You want to leave me,” cried this lady fair, And dropped in an attitude of despair. But he is not really breaking her heart, She’s on a stage and playing her part. ESTHER RUBIN Now returned to the trumpet, Has this fair dame, But all of her neighbor Aren’t feeling the same. I hope you with me will agree To take this Prophecy of 1933 In the spirit in which it was meant, For many long hours I have spent Wondering whether you would be shocked And think that you were being mocked. After all, it was all in fun, And I hope you liked it, every one. There is nothing more for me to say, May you prosper and succeed in every way. 57 SENIOR STATISTICS By MILTON HELMAN T HE dawn of a new school year in 1932 brought approximately four hundred thirsty and unsuspecting seekers of knowledge in the senior division to the portals of learning at dear old Chelsea High. Before the first half of the term had faded into history, exactly fourteen of these were consumed by their own burning desires of learning, or perhaps of sundry other things, leaving besides their ashes a scanty three hundred and eighty-six of us to flounder about as best we might through the remainder of our last year, and to drink as deeply as we wished, absolutely gratis, at this, for most of us, our last fountain of learning. Be that as it may, our whole noble class at the present time, some¬ what like Gaul, is divided into four parts or courses, one of which the General students struggle with, the would-be stenographers with another, the College lads and lassies with still another, and those who in their own language are called Tech students, the fourth. But now to attempt the arduous task of giving you an insight to the functions of the brains of the sophisticated seniors of Chelsea High—arduous because the fact that these worthies do possess brains is but a recently discovered fact, is little known, and, as a result, is a much mooted question to the world at large. The average span of years for the class of ’33 as found by the assemblage of all the grey matter on our noble literary staff, viz.: Messrs. Borkum, Helman, and Ulitsky, was estimated at 17.43987. The last four figures arc merely to indicate the industrious labor of said staff. To Josiah Greenberg of Greenberg, Greenberg, and Greenberg, Ltd., goes the distinction of being the youngest, while the name of the oldest, by popular request—very popular, too—will not be divulged. The class averages five feet and six inches from the floor in its stocking feet, which all gives sufficient margin over the two lower classes to allow us the maintenance of our dignity over all we survey. Bill Blanchard appears to have the greatest altitude of us all. This may explain his athletic build. Doctors claim that mountain air is most healthful: therefore, it is only natural that Bill is that way, always breathing fine, fresh air while we other mortals must be content with the less pure mixture of N.O.CCL, dust, and moisture. Several are eligible for shortest, but just so long as they are tall enough to reach the floor, they’ll get along very well indeed. Anyhow, Napoleon was short, and Lincoln, although tall, was shot also. So there you are. The statement that students of today lack ambition is utterly false, as our list shows. If you doubt it, cast your eyes over these aspirations of some of our students: To be a mother of twelve children. To graduate. To become a travelling salesman. To kiss a girl who doesn’t shut her eyes. Some other worthy ambitions which we feel we cannot possibly omit since they show such absolute thought are: To sell suspenders to Mahatma Gandhi. To take the wrinkles off a prune. To shoe a centipede. To make splinterless benches for football players. (This must be Santagatc’s.) To have a Harem. Added to these was the omnipresent wish to become a millionaire. Some who filled the questionnaire were serious, however, and had ambitions to become nurses, doctors, lawyers, stenographers, and engineers. One wanted to become a gigolo. The choice for a favorite outdoor sport ran the whole gamut from swimming and tennis to hunting flies in the pantry. Stoopnagle, number 1002, states that making “hey-hey” while the sun shines is a very good sport. We’ll take his word for it. 58 For the second consecutive year, Mr. Carl W. Staples and Miss Kintz head the list for favorite teachers with their respective subjects as choice studies. Being of pure Irish extraction we found it hard to decipher some of the comments written after these choices but no doubt such words as “nidoogidacht” and “oy, vei” are bons mots of eloquent praise. Miss Thomas pulled a very large vote for favorite teacher, and so did Miss MacMillan. As might be expected “study” period was popular with the students. Miss X signs her boy friend as a study—a whole course in zoology, in fact. Greek, Latin, and Yiddish were high up in the balloting also. The answers to the favorite amusements were so varied that such replies as “Cherchez la femme”, eating (by Merlinsky), sleeping, dodging homework, skipping school, etc., give a good idea as to what they were like. Our ballots show that the “Daily Record” is read more extensively than any other paper, although the “American”, “Post”, “Herald”, “Globe”, and “Traveler” are nearly as popular. Many of our Irish blue-bloods incline toward the “Jewish Forward” and “Tagenblatt.” Among these patriots of old Erin are Cohen, Ginsberg, and Rosenberg. As for the magazines, the “Police Gazette” has its following, while “Smokehouse Monthly” and “Ballyhoo” do not lack readers in our senior class. Max Gardner likes “True Story” for its virile, manly anecdotes. On the other hand several like to while away their time with “True Detective” and “War Stories.” We are glad to add that many votes were cast for “Time”, “Literary Digest”, “Ladies’ Home Journal”, and other good magazines. 3.2% beer is the favorite beverage of our class, which leads one to believe that we are harboring a lot of future “beer-bellies” in our midst. This may be taken as a warning. Also, the weaker sex of our class sweetly proclaim that “lips that touch beer shall never touch mine,” so let your conscience be your guide, gentlemen. Turning to the intellectual side of our class we find that they enjoy authors like Mark Twain, Stephen Leacock, Warwick Deeping, O. Henry, Winston Churchill, and Alexandre Dumas. The most popular fictitious character could not be determined with any great degree of accuracy due to the difference of opinion, but a few were: Mr. Micawber, Sherlock Holmes, Stephen Brice, Tom Sawyer, and MacBeth. The choice for the most popular motion picture actor and actress ran all the way from George Arliss to King-Kong and Mickey Mouse for the males; and as for the females, it was the vote of the stronger sex in the class that turned the tide for Marlene (Mah-lay-nah to you) Dietrich and Carole Lombard. This proves that Chelsea High men know what they like. The first five favorite radio performers in the order of their popularity in our class were: The Baron Ben Bernie—The Microbe Ed Wynn The Marx Brothers Guy Lombardo A sufficient number of students voted for our new President and Mrs. Roosevelt as the most admired man and woman in public life to allow us to record the vote that way. The Lindberghs, Helen Keller, and, oh yes, Charlie Lempert won quite a few ballots also. Favorite sayings were odd and varied and included, we regret to say, a little trash: but on the whole they were O.K. Many thought an advantage was given them to humble the poor compilateur. But in the words of Chico Marx: “We fool ’em, eh Boss?” We’ll gracefully omit all sayings, if you please, and even if you don’t please. You all know what your pet saying is, anyhow. It is with a great deal of pleasure that we bring the “piece dc resistance” into our article. Handsome, blond-haired Billy Blanchard was chosen as the greatest palpitator of the feminine heart, in other words, the handsomest male in our class. George Lush, another good-looking brute, was second, and a very good second, too. Our own charming Dorothy (better known as Dot) Samson was selected as the finest specimen of feminine pulchritude 59 in the class of 1 933, a choice with which we are heartily in accord. Little Bcatie Koltunsky was a close second for feminine honors, but this seems to be a dark year in more respects than one. Jerry Gold and May Clasky were singled out almost unanimously for the best athletes, boy and girl, respectively. These two deserve their titles beyond question. The title of cleverest boy went to Max Borkum; Dorothy Friedland was considered by a plurality worthy of this distinction for the girls. Max London, the Fakir, was not satisfied with one crown but took two of them, to wit, the funniest boy and the wittiest boy; and so, too, did Annie Cohen, obtaining the titles of funniest girl and the girl who talks the most. Our Vice-President, Bennett Kramer, took all honors in being the best dressed fellow while Ruth Gordon did the honors for her sex. George “Tarzan” Duval was acclaimed the peppiest male and Rachael Finn won all the laurels for the peppiest girl. Goodness knows she deserves it. Other choices were Blanche Grobman as the wittiest girl. Charlie Spracklin and Katherine Hartley were considered the most nearly perfect specimens of absolute laziness and accordingly received those honors. Matty Merlinsky won handily from all comers as the boy who does the most talking. The favorite game in our class seems to be hookey. As explained to yours truly, who is of course by no means acquainted with this pastime, it is very thrilling and inter¬ esting and holds the player when caught—and what we mean! That the game is dangerous can be easily testified to by such old timers at the pastime as Billy Blanchard, Mathew Merlinsky and that peer of all hookey players, George Francis Duval, Jr. In general, the class as a whole intends to be present at our Reception. Where they will go afterward is a matter for conjecture. Mike Shumski phrases it nicely when he says, “Parking.” Take a hint and do the same. Most of the Seniors expect to try their hand at work this coming summer; but a few frankly confess they will loaf, either through necessity or choice. A few of our idle rich intend to vacation at far-off places so they can send us cards with an X on it showing their rooms, and wishing we were there. Many of our classmates want to go to college, but where and how seems to be a big question with them. University of Michigan will claim a few, as will Harvard, Dartmouth, and Tufts. Maxie London chirps up that he expects to go to State Penn, pardon me, Penn State. Be that as it may we can only wait and see. In going over the list of names of the graduating class we find many tongue twisters which are characteristic of the races represented in our class. We find that we have in our midst people representing twelve different and distinct parts of this terrestial sphere, earth, world, terra firma or what have you. These include disciples of Signor Benito Musso¬ lini, some Americans, Russians, Poles, Jews, Irishmen, Englishmen, Greeks, Germans, Frenchmen, and Lithuanians. Leo Berg claims he is a descendant from far off South Jalapia. It was always a source of wonder to your correspondent where he got those legs. In compiling these facts which we have just “dished up” to you, and in writing this article we have gone through a great deal of trouble, expending much in effort and labor. But if our efforts were pleasing, and at the same time informative, we are amply repaid for all our work and feel more than satisfied. Nevertheless, as Cicero said, “We are all influenced by a desire of praise, and the best are attracted by glory.” No truer stat ement was ever uttered. In other words, make sure my name is at the head of this article, Mr. Editor-in-Chief.

And when, in passing, the momentary interest aroused by its initial appearance has been supplanted by more immediate concerns, it will be relegated to some dusty corner. We pause to wonder if its worth is at all commensurate with the efFort involved in its production. The value of an annual is determined by the interest it holds for its readers and the accuracy with which it records the activities of the year. In attempting to accomplish these ends, this year finds some changes which add to the appearance and interest of the book. The first change instituted by the staff is in the order of arrangement. Instead of grouping pictures and articles hither and thither without any system of distribution, the material has been grouped as accurately as possible into the proper sections; the book is composed of these different and distinct sections. Another variation is the manner of presenting material. The articles have been lengthened and given more substance, all in an attempt to present not only more readable matter but also more interesting and more informative write-ups. The group pictures have been made smaller and wherever possible they have been followed by an article about them. Various other little touches have been added which are obvious to those interested. The chief regret of this year’s staff is that due to the lack of advertising subscriptions it was impossible to increase the size of the book to more than its present dimensions; but it is satisfied that it has been able to keep it as large as the books of former years and that, in the restricted space, it has been able to make it superior in appearance and also more interesting. Because it takes upon itself the difficult task of presenting a summary of the school year, the “Beacon” assumes a responsibility of no little importance. We have tried to meet this responsibility; but if we have fallen short of our goal, or if errors have crept between the covers, we can only reply with the rather caustic remark of an editor of another magazine: “Never retract, never explain, never apologize; get the thing done and let the crowd howl.” 65 Front Row: Broidy, Gordon, Smith, Rovner, LaCava, Wilner.

SENIOR STUDENT COUNCIL A N innovation in the method of handling class affairs was created this year by the institution of the Senior Student Council. This is without doubt the most satis- - factory form of government the class could possibly have, inasmuch as such an organization, composed of two representatives from each home room, expresses the opinion of the class as a whole; and also the distribution of the sexes is espial, there being a girl and a boy from each of the respective rooms. This tends to do away with petty quarrels in the class when questions which affect one gender more than the other are brought up for discussion. The students who constitute this body are chosen by popular vote. As a result they are usually those most active in the class and those whose advice and help are generally of greatest value; and, moreover, being the people’s choice their decisions are more favorably received than might otherwise be the case. The results of this venture having been successful, and having shown itself to be entirely beneficial to the officers and to the class as a whole, the success of the Student Council in the school is assured. The members are: Julius Lazin, Bennet Kramer, Shepard Runstein, Rose Bernstein, William Broidy, May Clasky, George Duval, Jeannette Elfman, Max Gold. Alexander Gordon, Ruth Gordon, Beatrice Koltunsky, Robert LaCava, Sadye Madow, John Myles, Helen Namyet, Hyman Rovner, Gertrude Rutstein. Israel Smith, Sophie Stavropoulos.

First Honor Essay, College Course First Honor Essay, Business Course . Essay E ACH year, one student from the college and technical divisions, one student from the commercial division, and one student prominent in both studies and school activities are chosen to be the honor speakers at graduation. An unusual situation existed this year in that the rank of leading college and technical student was so evenly shared by two girls from the college course that it was impossible to discriminate between them; therefore, both were presented with the honors. These girls were Ruth Fenwick and Dorothy Friedland. In the commercial course, the honor was bestowed upon Grace Kalustian. Edward Duggan was selected as the student most prominent in studies and extra¬ curricular activities. 67 CMS ill KTi 1932 FOOTBALL SEASON By DOUGLAS MacLEOD C HELSEA HIGH’S football team closed its most successful season in recent years with a record of five wins and five losses. Notwithstanding the long trips, the loss of its captain who was out for a month due to an appendicitis operation, and adverse playing conditions, Chelsea made a good showing wherever it played. Chelsea dropped the first two games to Peabody and Rogers High, Newport, R. I., by the scores of 19-6 and 6-0, respectively. The Peabody game was very close until the last quarter in which Chelsea’s opponents scored two touchdowns. Chelsea held the whip hand in the Rogers game until a sudden collapse of the line permitted Rogers to march seventy-five yards to a touchdown. Chelsea broke into the win column in the next game against Dover High, Dover, N. H. A forward pass, Bartos to Duval, provided the margin of victory. In this game Chelsea disclosed a versatile running and passing attack. Chelsea continued where it had left off the following Saturday against Lowell High, winning by a score of 7-0. Bartos intercepted a forward pass and ran seventy-five yards for the touchdown. Latanzi’s pass to Gold was good for the extra point. Woodward and Sobelman were outstanding in the line for Chelsea. The following Saturday Chelsea was swamped by Charlie Broderick’s Leominster High School team to the tune of 27-0. Leominster, one of the strongest contenders for the mythical school-boy championship, led by two 190-pound backs smashed and passed its way to four touchdowns and three points after touchdown. Chelsea came back with a vengeance against Gloucester and ran rough-shod over the Lishermen. After the regulars had scored two touchdowns in the first half Coach Garvey was content to send in substitutes to finish the game. Bartos and Duval again supplied the touchdowns in this game. Chelsea High’s only home game of the season was played the following Saturday at Merritt Park against Winthrop. Chelsea wasted no time in getting started but marched 70 First Row: Marquard, Burns, Karonis, Raisman, Wilner, Saladino, Savosik.

In the third quarter Winthrop made its only bid for a touchdown, but La Tanzi caught a deflected Winthrop forward pass and sped seventy-five yards for a Chelsea touchdown. Chelsea’s next game was with Worcester North, Coach Garvey’s home town high school. After a hard-fought battle Chelsea emerged a 6-0 victor. In the second period Chelsea was halted on the two-foot line by a stubborn, fighting, Worcester team. However, three plays after Worcester had kicked out to the thirty-yard stripe, Bartos went over for the touchdown through the middle of the Worcester line. In the second half Chelsea coasted most of the way. In the following game Newburyport halted Chelsea’s win streak and sent it home smarting under a 7-0 defeat. Chelsea’s failure to capitalize on scoring chances was responsible for the defeat. Chelsea closed its season against Everett in the annual Thanksgiving Day Classic. A crowd of three thousand rabid spectators saw a game replete with thrills and hard, crashing football. From the Chelsea standpoint the highlights were Gold’s spectacular tackling, the best seen in a Chelsea game in many a moon, Bartos’ zooming forward passes and the co-operation and teamwork as a whole. Everett scored twice on long forward passes almost before Chelsea got its hands on the ball. Joe Schwerdt, former Chelsea 71 frOOT ftfcfc C(,ft 5 BC 5 rStvpoR-t r.x. T))d l i to ' j eft tearr .

Chelsea’s touchdown came on a long pass from Bartos to Duval that trav¬ elled almost fifty yards in the air. However, neither team could gain much on the other from then on. An almost endless parade of subs in the last quarter slowed the game up considerably. Letters were won by the following: LaTanzi, Lake, Blanchard, Duval, Martin, Lazin, Shumski. DeAngelis, Shuman, Stavisky, Raisman, Saladino, Woodward, Molloy, Gold, Bartoszewicz, Wilner, Cronin, Karonis, Santagate, Sobelman, Burns, Mardrosian, Lannon. The following received second team letters: Sherr, Marquard, Chaet, Mahoney, Hovasse, Noe, Parker, Karll, Goldman, Kepnes, W. Savosik, Yanetti, Doherty, T. Savosik. Next year’s team is to be captained by Arigo LaTanzi. Arigo alternated at half and quarter this year, and was a first team substitute last year. Although Coach Garvey will not have as much competent material next year as he had this year, there is a promising group of Sophomores to rely on. Of course, the incoming Sophomore class of next year is an unknown quantity, but there are bound to be several outstanding players among them. Chelsea was very fortunate this year in having Mr. Henry McCarty act as assistant coach and scout. His aid was invaluable, and it is hoped that he will return to render the same helpful services next year. SEASON’S RECORD Chelsea Peabody 6 Rogers (R. I.) 0 Nashua (N.

The court game, stretching through almost three months of competition, certainly was the favorite topic of conversation at the time. The season’s summaries in brief follow: SALEM 26, CHELSEA 24; In Chelsea ' s first game of the season, a veteran and experienced Salem five administered defeat in a heated battle which required two overtimes to decide the issue. Trailing 18-11 at half time, the Red Devils rallied strongly to tic the score with about one minute left to play. Baskets by Gold and Berg started Chelsea on its way. Saltzman’s free throw brought the score to 16, then four successive baskets by Gold evened the score at 22-22. The first overtime saw one basket by each team. A Salem basket was the only score in the second overtime and was the winning margin of the game. Gold shone on the offence and was high scorer for the evening with fourteen points. CHELSEA 34. WATERTOWN 15: The Red Devils, still smarting from the Salem defeat two days prior, journeyed to Watertown to rout the home team by a wide margin. Starting slowly but gaining momentum steadily, Chelsea overtook and passed the four point lead which was established against them in the first few minutes of play. Chelsea led 9-6 at the end of the first period and 18-11 at half time. The second half was merely a romp for Berg and company, while their close defen ce held Watertown to one point from the foul line. Co-captain Berg shone on the offence and was high scorer, netting seventeen points. CHELSEA 1 5, LYNN ENGLISH 1 1: In its third start of the week. Chelsea defeated the rangier and heavier Lynn English five by a more decisive margin than is indicated in the final score. Chelsea’s passwork contrasted sharply with the individual attack of Lynn. Two baskets by Gold, one by Berg and four converted free throws by Stavisky gave Chelsea a 10-4 lead at half time. Gold’s third and fourth period baskets plus one by Saltzman completed Chelsea’s scoring. Lynn scored a basket in each of the first three periods and five points in the last. Chelsea’s trio, Saltzman.MacLeod, and Stavisky, kept Lynn’s attack in check while Berg and Gold carried on the offence. Gold was high scorer having rustled the net for eight points. CHELSEA 25, ARLINGTON 24: Chelsea pulled a close one out of the bag at Arlington’s bandbox to defeat a previously undefeated Arlington team by the narrow margin of one point. The Red Devils, unable to start on their right legs in Arlington’s small gym, found themselves staring into ten huge Arlington points as against five of their own at the end of the first period. Two baskets and a foul by Berg plus a foul by Saltzman cut Arlington’s lead to 14-11 at half time. The Arlington defence was a little too zealous in watching Berg during the second half, and although they succeeded in preventing him from breaking loose for another basket, timely passing by Chelsea gave Gold an opportunity to ring up four floor scores and put the Red and Black in the lead. Two baskets by Saltzman and a foul by Berg brought Chelsea ' s total to 24. Arlington came back strong in the last perio d to come dangerously near the invaders, but a converted free throw by Stavisky a few minutes before the final whistle proved to be the winning margin. 74 4 ...

CHELSEA 29, WINTHROP 8: Number thirteen proved to be rather unlucky for Winthrop as it succumbed to a Kennelly coached team for the thirteenth time in succession. The contest, one sided from start to finish, found Chelsea working hard in the first period to establish a 10-3 lead; but the remainder of the game was merely a romp. In the second half, the Red Devils tried their new merry-go-round play for the first time this season. Each attempt received an enthusiastic ovation from the crowd, for it is, without a doubt, the prettiest and snappiest play which has been seen on a high school court. Defensively the Red Devils were strong, holding Winthrop to but three points in the first period, score¬ less in the second, and to but five points in the last half. Berg and Gold were the offensive stars, Gold’s sixteen points being high for the afternoon. CHELSEA 23, EVERETT 10: Chelsea traveled to Everett and annexed its fifth and probably most desired victory in six starts. Berg’s two free throws and basket gave Chelsea a 4-1 lead at the end of the first period. Baskets by Berg, Stavisky, and Saltzman increased Chelsea’s lead 10-4 at half time. The Red and Black outscored Everett again in the second half, 13-5. Berg and Saltzman were the offensive sparks. Berg was high scorer of the evening with eight points and Saltzman second with seven points. MacLeod starred defensively. CHELSEA 24, WATERTOWN 15: Chelsea played drab ball to defeat Watertown a second time. Chelsea’s attack and defence were at their best in the second period, the Red Devils scoring ten points while holding Watertown scoreless. The score at half time was 15-5. Gold was high scorer, caging 12 points. BROCKTON 45, CHELSEA 25: Brockton brought a team of giants to smother Chelsea before the biggest crowd of the season. The defeat was not a harsh one, for Brockton to date had bowled over all Massachusetts competition by overwhelming scores. Using size, height, and weight to good advantage, Brockton ran up a 30-1 2 lead at half time. The only close period was the first, which found Chelsea trailing 12-9. Stavisky played a good game for Chelsea. 76 LYNN ENGLISH 33, CHELSEA 26: A rod snapped somewhere in Chelsea’s basketball machine as it gave its worst exhibition of the season while bowing in defeat at Lynn English High School. Lynn chose this night to play smart basketball, and was quick to take advantage of Chelsea’s misplays by outsmarting their rivals throughout the game. The half found the visitors trailing 19-12. A ragged and brief third period rally brought them within four points of a tie, but the Red Devils lapsed once more and Lynn built up a safe margin. Gold’s eight points were high for Chelsea. CHELSEA 50, DOVER 13: Chelsea came out of its slump with a resounding bang to run up its biggest score of the season against Dover, N. H. Hanson, who was moved up from the second team to the center position on the varsity, seemed to provide the necessary punch which gave Chelsea its first victory in three starts. Leading at half time 22-7, the Red Devils held Dover scoreless in the third period while increasing its own total to 43. The junior team played during most of the last quarter. Berg, Gold, and Hanson scored 43 points among them. Berg’s total of 16 leading Gold’s by 2. CHELSEA 33, EVERETT 16: Chelsea continued the scoring spree begun in the Dover game and chalked up its eighth victory in eleven starts, at Chelsea. Entering the third period on the long end of a 21-8 score, the home team continued to increase its total while holding Everett to two points. In the fourth period, against the junior team. Everett’s only sustained attack of the evening netted them their last six points. Berg, with six field goals and three free tosses, was the leading scorer of the evening. CHELSEA 28, ARLINGTON 17: Minus the services of Co-captain Jerry Gold, whose ankle had been twisted in the Everett game, Chelsea stepped out on the court and destroyed all doubts as to its superiority over Arlington by running up a 20-2 score in the first half. Working as a unit more successfully than ever before, Chelsea’s attack, with Co-captain Berg at its head, functioned like a well oiled machine, and before the half was ended ten Chelsea baskets had been recorded, five of them by Berg. In the third period, Abrams, the sophomore who had undertaken the difficult task of filling the shoes left vacant by Jerry Gold, scored four baskets for Chelsea’s only points of the quarter. MacLeod starred defensively, Abrams and Berg offensively, the former’s seven baskets being high for the evening. CHELSEA 32, DOVER 26: Dover forced Chelsea to an overtime period before it finally succumbed at Dover, N. H. In direct contrast to its visit to Chelsea which had found it trailing 10-3, Dover stepped out to an 11-7 lead in the first period: but a strong comeback led by Abrams gave Chelsea a 19-14 lead at the half time. Entering the third period on the short end of a 23-17 score, Dover outscored Chelsea 9-3 to tie the game. In the overtime, baskets by Hanson, Abrams, and MacLeod put the game on the ice for the Red Devils. Berg led the scorers with eleven points. SALEM 33, CHELSEA 18: Handicapped by a low ceiling, the Chelsea offence was never quite able to keep up with that of its hosts as the Red Devils were defeated at Salem. Not even the return of Co-captain Jerry Gold, although it speeded up the Chelsea attack considerably, was enough. The first period found Chelsea trailing 10-6, then 15-10 at the half, and 23-16 at the end of the third period. In the final stanza Salem put on steam to increase its total by ten, while holding Chelsea to two foul line scores. Gold led Chelsea’s scorers with eight points. CHELSEA 32, MANSFIELD 19: Chelsea decisively scored its eleventh victory in fifteen starts in a game in which its superiority over Mansfield was never doubted. Chelsea settled down to business early in the first period to run up a 10-2 score. The second period, the closest of the game, saw Mansfield outscore the home team 11-7. The Red Devils continued in the second half where they had left off at the end of the first quarter and won the game easily. Gold and Berg led the scorers. BROCKTON 38, CHELSEA 25: The Brockton giants once again defeated the Red Devils, this time at Brockton, but were forced to the limit. Chelsea strove valiantly in the first half, but was unable to bottle up Smith, and the whistle found them trailing 26-15. At the beginning of the final quarter, with the score standing 30-18 against them, Gold 77 and Berg chalked up seven successive points; but a Brockton time out quelled the uprising, and Chelsea just missed nosing out a victory. The game was much closer than is indicated by the score, quite a few of Chelsea’s baskets being called null and void by the official in charge. Berg led the Chelsea scorers with nine points. Stavisky, although playing with a lame leg, provided the audience with as game an exhibition as has ever been seen on a high school court; not only did he succeed in holding Monkevicz, Brockton’s star forward, scoreless from the floor, but he scored six points on his own account. CHELSEA 38. WINTHROP 25: Chelsea completed its season with another win over Winthrop in the roughest game of the year. Stopped in the first half by Winthrop ' s rough tactics, Chelsea found itself on the short end of a 17-15 score. It did not, however, take the Red Devils long, in the final half, to assert their supremacy as they won easily with a thirteen point margin. Berg was outstanding for Chelsea and was the high scorer of the game with fourteen points. The 1 933 basketball season, in retrospect, was what one might call an “if” season. If Chelsea had played the second Lynn English game before its defeat by Brockton, it is more than safe to say that Chelsea would have won, and would have received an invitation to the Tech tournament. The Lynn court, both long and wide, was ideally suited to the type of attack which Coach Kennedy employs, but the team had not recovered from the effects of the Brockton defeat, as was evinced throughout the entire game. The figures show a very successful season. The Red Devils were the victors in twelve of the scheduled seventeen games. They were defeated twice by Brockton and twice by Salem in clean cut games, but the fifth loss, the most costly of the lot, was an unfortunate affair. It is interesting at this point to note that Salem suffered only two losses during the season while Brockton received only one, that they met in the semi-final round of the Tech tournament, and that Salem eliminated Brockton. There were double wins over Watertown. Winthrop, Arlington, Everett, and Dover, a single win over Mansfield, and a lone victory over Lynn English. Chelsea outscored its opponents 481-367. Its highest total was fifty points against Dover here, and the highest score against it was forty-five points scored by Brockton, here also. Co-captains Leo Berg and Jerry Gold at the forward posts were the high scorers, Gold nosing out Berg by three points in the fin al tally. Hanson and Saltzman alternated at the center post, but neither was steady enough to maintain his position for long. MacLeod and Stavisky at the guard posts surprised everybody and turned out to be the best set of guards at Chelsea since the time of Rice and McCarthy. Abrams, a sophomore, saw service in five of the later games and was instrumental in bringing about the Arlington, Dover, and Winthrop victories. Of this group, Berg, Gold, and MacLeod will be missing next year. Four veterans will return: Captain-elect Stavisky who is sure to be outstanding as Chelsea’s leader, Abrams who saw service in several complete games, and Hanson and Saltzman. Several members of the Junior team are sure to make the first string next year.

BASEBALL By ISAIAH ULITSKY A S is usual at Chelsea High many boys presented themselves in May as candidates for positions on the 1933 Chelsea High baseball team in response to the call of - Coach Kennelly. Many of the boys who had been on the squad last year were in this number. After two weeks of practice Coach Kennelly molded a team which has offered some good opposition to the teams on schedule. The team, led by Captain John Cronin, won twice from St. John’s High of Danvers, and split with Everett and Quincy. The summaries of the games are as follows: EVERETT 14, CHELSEA 4: In its initial game, which was a comedy of errors and weak pitching, Chelsea succumbed to the fast moving Everett High ball team. The first inning in which Everett scored seven runs, mostly through errors, spelled the downfall of Chelsea, who, for lack of practice, could not get going. ' Everett also scored two in the fifth, one in the sixth, and four in the seventh; Chelsea scored one in the first, two in the third, and one in the fifth. Chelsea hit well; Cronin and Krentzman held the limelight, each turning in a home run. Bartoszewicz was credited with the loss. 80 QUINCY 8, CHELSEA 1 : Chelsea, not fully recovered from the loss to Everett, bowed in defeat to Quincy at Chelsea. Quincy, outbatting, outfielding, and outpitching Chelsea, deserved the victory. Chelsea scored their only run in the sixth. Quincy crossed the platter four times in the first, once in the fourth and thrice in the sixth innings. Quincy’s home runs played an important part in their victory. O’Neil, Chelsea’s starting pitcher, was credited with the loss. CHELSEA 7, ST. JOHN’S 4: Although outhit, Chelsea clinched its first victory over St. John’s High of Danvers by taking advantage of every scoring opportunity in a big eighth inning when six runs crossed the platter. St. John’s had led going into that inning 4-1, having scored two in the first, one in the third, and one in the fourth; the Red and Black scored their first run in the seventh. Chelsea made eight errors and two hits, both by Bartoszewicz, but ten passes figured in all the scoring. Sherman, who struck out fourteen batters, was the winning pitcher. CHELSEA 7. QUINCY 5: The Kennedy ball tossers displayed a fine brand of ball to gain their second win of the season by beating the Granite City outfit at Chelsea. The game made up for the Red and Black’s loss to the same team earlier in the season. Chelsea’s hitting and fielding was much improved, their being twelve hits and only two errors. Chelsea scored three in the initial frame, two in the fifth and two in the sixth. Quincy’s scoring came in the first, fourth, sixth, and seventh innings, when they scored one, two, one and one respectively. Cronin and Krentzman shone at bat, each getting his second home run of the season. Although Sherman was given credit for the victory, Brown must be praised for his masterful relief pitching. CHELSEA 3, EVERETT 2: Chelsea upset the dope against Everett by sending their opponents back home in defeat. Although the game was marred in spots with errors, it contained some high spots, especially in the ninth inning when Chelsea scored the deciding run. Chelsea scored in the seventh, eighth and ninth, while Everett pushed their runs across in the first and ninth. Brown pitched brilliantly throughout the game. With only one more game remaining on the schedule, that with St. John’s whom Chelsea is sure to take into camp, the 1 933 baseball season comes to a close. With La Tanzi, Sherman, Brown, Saladino, Savosik, and Murphy having another year of baseball to play, there are bright prospects of having a fine ball team next year. The following are the members of the team: Sherman, Brown, O’Neill, La Tanzi, Wozniak, Bartoszewicz, Krentzman, Captain Cronin, Saladino, Savosik, Domenichello, Thornton, Mardrosian, Gold, Woodward, Murphy, Lake, Swartz, Molloy, Powers, Bedrosian, Block, Karonis. 9 ' CHELSEA 7, ST. JOHN’S 1: Chelsea continued its winning streak by beating St. John’s for the second time in the final game of the season. Chelsea put the finishing touch on the season by turning in their best performance of the year. They hit opportunely and fielded well to give O ' Neil, the pitcher, good support. St. John’s fielded well but lacked effectiveness in the pitchers’ box. Chelsea scored three in the second and four in the fourth. Their opponent’s only run was scored in the fifth. LaTanzi’s home run was the batting feature. 81 Front Row: Alice Silbert, Elizabeth Pataki, Eleanor McCann, Victoria Kopaczynska.

GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM A N enthusiastic group of girls turned out at the first basketball practice in January. All were eager to make some team and give whatever they had in them for their school. The plans at the firs t of the season were that inter-class games would be played, omitting outside competition entirely. Near the end of the season, however, they very fortunately were able to get a game with the Everett girls. When this was arranged, a team was chosen, May Ciasky being elected captain. The first game was played at Everett. Our girls were defeated in spite of the fact that they played a very hard and fast game. The return game was played on March 30, 1 933. The Chelsea girls had greatly improved their playing but again were defeated. The team was coached by Miss Reba O. Painter, Physical Training Instructor at the Carter Junior High School. It is hoped that next year the girls will have a regular schedule and will be more successful than was the case this year. The first team line-up: Beatrice Sherr, R.F.; Mary O’Donnell, L.F.; May Ciasky, C.; Phyllis Kaplan, S.C.: Eleanor McCann, R.G.; Helen Arnold, L.G.; Viola Morris, L.G. Subs: Victoria Kopaczynska, Elizabeth Pataki, Elizabeth Fitzpatrick, Rose Wool, Alice Silbert, Edna Bloom. 82 Front Row: Lazin, Hovasse, Rovner, Cummings, Clark, Garber, Casey, Savosik. Back Row: Lush, Smith, Colson, Mann, Broidy, Gens, Goodman, Chaet. TRAFFIC SQUAD T HIS year, as in years gone by, the Traffic Squad was organized by our Headmaster, Mr. Webber, at the beginning of the school year. He selected a group of boys who maintained favorable scholastic records and defined their duties as members of this selected group. The achievements accomplished by this squad proved to be superior to those of former years. The duties of the traf fic boys are numerous and variable. The patrolling of the corridors and home-rooms, the protection of school furniture and property, the maintenance of orderly lines in filing, and the ushering of students during assembly periods are among the duties of the “cops.” Although the traffic boys have been faced, occasionally, with rather unpleasant tasks, they have performed their respective duties faithfully and are deserving of praise. The students of our school fully realize that these boys are carrying out orders and have aided them in their work admirably well. Under the personal guidance of Mr. Webber, the squad is composed of Captain Robert Cummings, Lieutenant Hyman Rovner, Sergeant John Casey, Patrolmen Ben¬ jamin Goodman, Julius Lazin, Charles Clarke, George Lush, William Broidy, William Mann, Charles Colson, George Gens, Max Garber, Charles Hovasse, Walter Savosik, Lester Smith, and Abraham Rubenstein.

STEWART MISS ANNA KUHN 84 t Borkum, Smith, Heiman, Mr. Stewart, Ulitsky QUARTERLY BEACON M AKING a radical departure from the usual staid methods of presenting material. the “Beacon” for 1932-1933 differed greatly from its predecessors. Without losing anything of its high literary standard and increasing its circulation to a new high, the powers that be deemed it wise to include more personals, jokes, and funny stories in the issues. That this move was popular may be easily verified by a glance at the circulation records. The stories as usual were of a high literary value and included both humorous and tragic. The jokes, made personal by the addition of students’ names, seemed like the dawn of a new day in this period of depression; while the refreshing humor of Walter Chinwell was like the sun after an April shower. Max Borkum was editor-in-chief of the two senior editions of the “Beacon” and his two assistants were Milton Heiman and Isaiah Ulitsky. The task of producing the final publication of the magazine was given over to the juniors and the sophomores, as has been the custom for the past few years, in order to allow the seniors opportunity for their undivided attention to the year book. Next year’s “Beacons” will be issued by this new staff which will have had ample opportunity and experience for exercising their talents. 85 Front Row: Hochman, Friedman, Provisor, Rubin.

JUNIOR STUDENT COUNCIL A T the same time of the formation of the Senior Student Council, a council for the Junior Class was also organized. Its members were chosen in exactly the same - manner in which the Senior group was selected, a boy and a girl from each home¬ room, whose duties were very similar to those of the Senior Council. Comprised as it was of delegates elected from the home-rooms, the council represented the voice of the student body; their duties consisted in enacting such legislation as was considered necessary, and in being a general help to the officers when aid was required, as in staging a social function. Having been equally as successful as the Senior Council it is likely that this recently created institution is here to stay in this class also. Credit is due Mr. Webber for his vision in creating this board, not to mention the time spent on it—or them—by him. The members are: Isadore Stavisky, Herman Karll. Max Rickman, Arigo La Tanzi. Lillian Stamell, Esther Mack, Edward Brown, Myer Halpren, Jennie Bennett, Samuel Bookman, Jeannette Braverman, Alfred Butt, Charles Colson, Josephine DeRoeck, Dorothea Eburne, Morris Freedman, Bernard Glassman, Pearl Glazer, Phyllis Kaplan, Eugene Hoch¬ man, Benjamin Leader, Beatrice Lerner, Eleanor McCann, John Molloy, Rose Pearlman. Arthur Provizer, Samuel Rubin, Sylvia Sack, Sidney Shaffer, Theresa Shuman, Mildred Swartz, Howard Turkanis, Dorothy Weinstein, Benjamin Wilensky. 86 Stavisky, Lillian Stamell, Brown, Rickman JUNIOR CLASS NOTES I N September, 1931, the class of 1934 became a part of the Chelsea Senior High School. Its first important event was the election of officers in the Junior Year. Isadore Stavisky was named President, Max Rickman, Edward Brown and Lillian Stamell were chosen Vice-President, Treasurer and Secretary, respectively. A Junior Student Council, established to assist the officers and to act in the capacity of all committees, was also selected. The long awaited Junior Prom was held Friday evening, March 17TY933, in the High School gym under the direction of the Student Council and the officers, with the able assistance of Miss Phyllis Thomas. This affair was a great success both financially and socially. At the time the “Beacon” went to press, May 26 had been decided upon as the day for the Junior Frolic. In basketball, baseball, and in football the representatives from the Junior Class showed some real fighting spirit, President Stavisky dominating the spotlight. There are also many members of our class on the “Beacon” Staff. Although the Juniors have excelled in athletics and social functions, they have not neglected their studies. Let us hope when they re-enter next fall they will work with the same enthusiasm. S7 i Front Row: Klevansky, Carp, Helen McDonald, Mildred Curland, Alice Zablotsky, Selma Corf, Zaitz, Elgart.

E. Cleary, the coach. In the first act the pirates, who are all orphans, are celebrating the twenty-first birthday of Frederic, who, tiring of a piratical career, is about to leave them. Ruth, a pirate maid, begs him to marry her. Since she is the only woman he has known, he consents. Shortly afterwards, he meets General Stanley’s daughters who have come to the rocky shore on an outing, and falls in love with Mabel, the youngest. The pirates capture Mabel’s sisters and propose to marry them. When their father arrives and tells the pirates that he also is an orphan, they relent and release the girls. Act two finds the General lamenting because he has deceived the pirates. When Frederic, who is now freed from his bondage and is leading a band of “bobbies’’ to wipe the pirates off the face of the earth, comes to bid Mabel goodbye, he is confronted with the Pirate King and Ruth who show him the apprentice papers which bound him to the pirates until his 21st birthday. As he was born in leap year on the 29th of February, he still has 60 years more to serve. His sense of duty influences him to remain with the pirates, and he decides to tell of the General’s falsehood. The pirates swear vengeance. When they are about to carry off the General, they are captured by the policemen, but ask for liberty on the ground that they are English noblemen “gone wrong.’’ Promising to give up their piratical career, they are pardoned. Individual members of the cast scored personal triumphs as the amusing “much ado about nothing’’ made its melodious progress on the stage. Nina Dobrenchuck as Mabel, Jerry Gold as Frederick, Anthony Zaitz as Richard, Bernard Klevansky as Richard’s lieu¬ tenant, Alice Zablotsky as Ruth, Jack Carp as the Sergeant of the bobbies, and David Elgart as General Stanley all played and sang their parts well. S9 ORCHESTRA U NDER the competent direction of Mr. A. E. Cleary, superintendent of the music department in Chelsea, the orchestra terminated another successful year. It furnished musical entertainment for many occasions: assemblies, the Senior Play, the Operetta, the music for which was excellent in spite of the difficulty of rendition, Commercement Day exercises, and numerous other social functions. A well received novelty this year was the German Band, composed of four members from the orchestra. It was this group that furnished the comedy relief in a special assembly in school, as well as at the Operetta, at which time they literally “brought down the house.” The orchestra met regularly on Wednesdays in the auditorium during the fifth period for practice. There were seventy-four members all told, each being graded according to his attendance. One credit was given to each member of the orchestra for his year’s work. The members: FIRST VIOLINS Francis Ryan, Concert Master Alice Zablotsky, 2nd Concert Master Ann Cohen Lillian Cohen Frances Berger Ruth Sheinfeld Barnet Gray Stanley Kectic George Shatzman Morris Freedman Ruth Glazier Joseph Lannon Noah Levine Dora Posner Leo Nataupsky George Epstein Israel Tolchinsky Ida Wishnevetsky Sidney Klickstein Philip Kuperberg Sam Melman Max Zelbovitz Saul Silberman SECOND VIOLINS William Goldberg Allan Michelson Irving Buden Harry Barnard Florence Margolskee John Zebuiak Elias Lightman Beatrice Rosenfield Milford Kn iaz Lillian Siegel Muriel Burman Molly Golder Sara Swartz Julius Weissberg Philip Weissberg Stanley Zelanowiz ALTO HORNS Leonard Kornetsky Samuel Gurman FLUTES Jennie Gross Abraham Kaminsky Morris Baker DRUMS Harold Healy CORNETS Harold Wigetman David Maltzman Charles Matrinko Marilyn Francis Nathan Gopen Charles Hallman William Tryder PIANO Minnie Siegel Shirley Berson Dorothea Eburne CLARINETS Anthony Zaitz George Freedman Sam Rubin Benjamin Silverstein BASS-DOUBLE BASS Julius Rubenstein Anthony Bryc SAXOPHONES Jack Goodman Irving Rosenberg Ralph Gisonna Hyman Granoff Arthur Cohen TROMBONE Robert LaCava Hermen Karl Isaac Malkin GERMAN BAND Anthony Zaitz Anthony Bryc Isaac Malkin Robert LaCava 91 BAND T HIS year’s Chelsea Senior High School Band, under the direction of Mr. A. E. Cleary, completed another good year. At the school football games and assemblies the band did credit to Chelsea High School and added color and spirit with their music and with their dress uniforms of red and black sweaters, military caps, and white trousers. In the parade on Memorial Day the band reflected favorably upon the school. The baton was wielded by George Karonis. The Band’s varied and interesting repertoire, which was selected by Mr. Cleary, consisted of twelve fine marches and also of several light overtures. The band rehearsed every Tuesday in the auditorium. Some days, weather permitting, the rehearsals were held out of doors. A large gap will be left in the Band next year through the graduation of most of its leading members, but it is expected that these vacancies will be filled by capable material next year. The band members are: Trumpets Edward Axelrod Samuel Bailen Simon Block Robert Brown Irving Croll Nathan Gopen Charles Hallman Leo Huntoon William Levey David Maltzman Paul Matrinko Charles Moore William Tryder Harold Wigetman Alto Horn Leonard Kornctsky Bass Horn Anthony Bryce Sousaphone Julian Rubinstein Saxophones Arthur Cohen Jack Goodman Hyman Granoff Benjamin Silvcrstein Clarinets Samuel Rubin Bernard Stoller Anthony Szezpeniak Anthony Zaitz T rombones Herman Karl Isaac Malkin Robert LaCava Drum Major George Karonis Drums Harold Healy Cymbals Bernard Glassman 93 THE U6RARY EXTRA ' EXTRA ' man! the hunger MAftCIICPS THEY vuooo cut M ' Hoieci Morton TRUE TO TYPE n if j; jfe | ggi fit � j y D jS 0 j H Iftl jSa 4 94 ..I i . i .—..ii.� iii ; - j. . Gold, Podrachik, Peavey, Mr. Mockler, Leona Mekelburg CHEMISTRY CLUB T HE Chemistry Club of 1933 held its first meeting January 12, with Mr. Mockler as advisor. The officers elected were: Jerry Gold, President: Chester Peavey, Vice- President: Leona Mekelburg, Secretary: and Abraham Podradchik, Treasurer. There are forty-six members in the club who accomplish a great deal at every meeting. At each meeting different members are given assignments and they either perform experiments or recite on topics dealing with chemistry. The club is founded on strong principles and in order to be a member one is obliged to live up to strict regulations. The members have membership cards; the dues arc ten cents per week. At the end of the year the money in the treasury is to help in the payment of graduation expenses such as Year Book, Reception ticket, etc. The purpose of the organization is to further the chemical knowledge of those students interested in continuing their education. 96 _ Socha, Burns, Thornton, Mr. Folsom, Khoshabjian PRINTING CLUB T HE Chelsea High School Printing Club was organized under the direction of Mr. Floyd G. Folsom in January, 1933. The purpose of organizing this club was to promote a better understanding of printing, its importance, and its possibilities. The first meeting was held Tuesday, January 31, 1933. The following members were elected to office: Henry Socha, President; William Thornton, Vice-President: John Khoshabjian, Secretary; Walter Burns, Treasurer. The club meetings were held every Tuesday, after school, in the printing room. Throughout the school year various talks were given by the club members pertaining to printi ng in general. A midget paper, “The Inkling’’, was published several times during the year. The material was contributed, the type was set, and the paper was run off the press by club members alone. Including news items, editorials, jokes, and current topics, it afforded the boys an excellent opportunity to express themselves and become more familiar with newspaper work. It is hoped that the Juniors will carry on both the club and paper next year. The club expresses its heartfelt thanks to Mr. Floyd G. Folsom, for his untiring co-operation, and for his appreciation of the efforts of the members throughout the year. 97 Borkum, Shirley Berson, Bornstein, Miss Mitchell, Ruth Fenwick FRENCH CLUB T HE French Club, organized in 1930 by Miss Mitchell, has aimed this year to excel its previous creditable record. Its enrolled membership has increased 25 per cent. Under the capable direction of the teachers of the French department and its staff of officers: Max Borkum, President; Jacob Bornstein, Vice-President: Ruth Fenwick, Secretary; Shirley Berson, Treasurer: and Dorothy Fricdland, chairman of the Activity Committee, the club of 1933 has enjoyed some not only instructive and educational but entertaining and interesting meetings. A new feature has been introduced into the club this year, that of having hostesses as well as ushers to greet the members at the meetings. An established feature of each meeting is a roll call to which each member must respond with a French quotation, proverb or slogan. This gives each person an opportunity to use a little French and to have a personal responsibility in each meeting. Talented members of the club have presented oral themes, poems, anecdotes, saynetes, songs, and comedies that have all created a live interest in acquiring a facility in the oral use of the French language. Pupils have given talks on such subjects as the geography, colonies, government, schools, and customs of France. These have provided an interesting and enjoyable method of acquiring useful information and knowledge. Standing on the threshold between the old and the new educational life we feel a seriousness and maturity somewhat new to us. We are just beginning to know how neces¬ sary as well as valuable has been our French course and how much our club life has meant and is to mean in the future, for it has done much in giving us occasions to use French as a medium of social intercourse. T he Senior French Club members urge the undergraduate body to earnest and enthusi¬ astic participation in all club activities and sever their connection with regret but with happy memories. 98 Malkin, Hurlich, Beatrice Lerner, Miss Shaw, Helen Dorfman GERMAN CLUB T HE German Club held its first meeting on November 18, under the competent direc¬ tion of Miss Gertrude R. Shaw and Miss Ruth Severence. The large attendance of students exceeded that of other years, showing the enthusiasm of those taking the German course. The following officers were elected: Isaac Malkin, President; Beatrice Lerner, Vice-President; Helen Dorfman, Secretary; Abraham Hurlich, Treasurer; Helen Namyet, Song Leader; Sylvia Nataupsky, Pianist. The entertainment committee consists of Alexander Gordon, Chairman. Jeannette Greenberg, and Joseph Bornstein. On December 16 an interesting Christmas program was presented, consisting of songs, an educational talk on the origin of Christmas by Miss Shaw, and various anecdotes by the members. During the year there were several guest speakers. Mr. Joseph Schultz reviewed Goethe’s “Faust” on December 2. On February 3rd Mr. Nathan Margolis spoke, encourag¬ ing as well as complimenting the club on its activities; Miss Marilyn Francis played a selection on the trumpet. On March 1 7 Miss Swanstrom gave a highly entertaining talk on “German Music of the 18th and 19th Centuries,” illustrating her talk by phonograph music. Miss Nina Dobrenchuk, as guest soloist, rendered two songs. A series of stereopticon slides, entitled “The Rhineland”, was shown to the members who enjoyed this novelty immensely. Miss Shaw acted as narrator while Mr. Staples assisted at the slide machine. An assembly in the auditorium was held for German students only. A play entitled “Wie man’s macht in Amerika” was presented. The players were; Leonard Davis, Sylvia Hankin, Esther Berson, Sylvia Nataupsky, Alexander Gordon, and Julian Rubenstein. Poems, games, skits, songs, plays, and talks presented by the members of the German Club have helped them appreciate and gain a finer insight into the customs and literature of the German people. 99 Janet Braverman, Molly Fredenthal, Lillian Stamell, Miss Burke, Rosella Wolfson SPANISH CLUB T HE Spanish Club, under the able direction of its supervisor, Miss Josephine Burke, was organized late in December by a group of students interested in its formation. All pupils obtaining a grade of either A or B were eligible. The object of the club is to afford those studying Spanish a greater opportunity of gaining more ease in the use of the language. The meetings carried on in Spanish were held twice a month on the first and third Mondays. The officers of the club are: Janet Braverman, President: Lillian Stamell, Vice-Presi¬ dent; Rosella Wolfson, Secretary; and Mollye Fredenthal, Treasurer. The club voted to pay dues of ten cents a month. After the business part of the meet¬ ings, programs of Spanish plays, music, and dancing were given. So efficient did the first entertainment committee, consisting of Sally Fisher, Helen Coleman, and George Freedman prove itself to be that the club selected these same members to serve on the committee for the following meetings. The members, as a whole, have shown a willingness, in taking an active part in the club this year that makes us feel certain that next year will see an expansion of this organization. r 100 Gold, Hurlich, Mr. Stewart, Duggan DEBATING CLUB T HE 1933 Debating Club, under the direction of M. E. Stewart, scheduled three interscholastic debates for the year. The first debate with Revere High School on March 9, 1933, was on the question: “Resolved: That Great Britain should grant complete and immediate independence to India.’’ The Chelsea team, upholding the affirmative side, consisted of William Broidy, Max Gold, Edward Duggan, and Abraham Hurlich, alternate. The judges awarded Chelsea the decision. Edward Duggan was unani¬ mously selected the best speaker of the evening. The debate with Everett High School was held before an assembly of the high school students at 12:30 P.M., April 7, 1933. The question debated and the speakers were the same as in the Revere debate. The decision of the judges was unanimous in favor of the Chelsea team which upheld the affirmative side. Edward Duggan received honorable mention for his ability as a speaker. On April 5, 1933, a debating team consisting of Dorothy Friedland, Abraham Hurlich, Benjamin Ginsburg, and Mildred Curland, alternate, went to Lynn to debate the Jackson Debating Club of Lynn English High School. The question was: “Resolved: That the United States should agree to cancel all interallied war debts contracted prior to the Armistice.” Chelsea took the affirmative side, Lynn the negative. The judges gave a two to one decision in favor of Lynn. In order to give the Sophomores an opportunity to obtain experience in debating, a Sophomore club under the direction of Miss Margaret Banigan was organized. The members are: Leonard Kornetsky, President: Sam Schachter, Vice-President: Lina Solomon, Secre¬ tary: Frank Chapper, Treasurer: Bernard Holtzman, Herbert Holland, Melvin Wintman, Sidney Attenberg, Nathan Gopen, Irving Bass, Hoosag Kadjperooni, Milton Shuman, Rose I3aron, Jonas Abramovitz, Sophie Stein, Morris Katzman, Julius H. Fine, Arthur M. Kaplan, Beatrice Feldman, Marian Hill, Asher Zamansky, Harold Wigetman. 101 MATHEMATICS CLUB T HE Chelsea Senior High School Mathematics Club, which was organized in 1931, was continued this year by students interested in the unusual elements and applica¬ tions of mathematics. It was directed by Mr. Earl G. Boyd and has been capably conducted by its President, Hyman Kaitz, aided by Samuel Gorenstein, Vice-President. At the meetings which were held bi-weekly, interesting demonstrations and facts were given by various members after which a profitable discussion would take place. Among the outstanding illustrations were: the squaring of a circle, a method of obtain¬ ing prime numbers, the solution of three unknowns by the method of determinants, a method of forming a triangle whose sides will contain a given number of units and whose altitude will be expressed by a whole number, the explanation of the number system, and the method of translation. Such a club is, indeed, extremely advantageous to students mathematically inclined. Therefore, the graduating members trust that its existence will continue and its membership increase. 102 Kaitz, Mr. Staples, Minnie Gootman SCIENCE CLUB A T the beginning of the third quarter of the current school year, the Chelsea High School Science Club was formed under the supervision of Mr. Staples, head of “ the Science Department. An enthusiastic group of Seniors, Juniors, and Sopho¬ mores presented themselves for membership to the club. Its purpose was to give the members a better knowledge of the different branches of science, and to interpret the important part science plays in the modern world. At the first meeting Hyman Kaitz was elected President and Minnie Gootman, Secretary. The Secretary-elect was entrusted with the business of the club and a program committee, consisting of Robert Shubert, a senior; Jack Schneider, a junior; and Samuel Gordon, a sophomore; was chosen to prepare suitable entertainment for the future meetings. Since College Board Examinations and make-up work began to attract the attention and spare time of some of the members, it was very difficult to decide on a day for the meetings. Finally every other Wednesday was decided upon. Since the club was formed late in the year, the activities were necessarily limited. At the meetings which were conducted by the president, assisted by the program committee, there was an average attendance of more than twenty-five members. This club has been a great asset to the school and to its pupils. Therefore the members hope that this club will be carried on in future years. 103 The following advertisers, in patronizing The Beacon, have evidenced their interest in Chelsea Senior High School and in the Class of 1933.
