HISTORY By ISAIAH ULITSKY O NE warm, sunny Wednesday, September 9, 1930, a large group of excited young men and women stood on the streets surrounding Chelsea High awaiting the opening of the doors which would thereafter await them daily for three consecutive years. 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
