PUBLISHED BY THE SENIOR CLASS CHELSEA HIGH SCHOOL CHELSEA, MASS. A DEDICATION OACH J. WILLIAM KENNELLY and his champion- ship basketball team have brought added glory to the name of our school and won admiration and good-will of thousands of lovers of fair play and good sportsmanship. The success of the Senior High School basketball team, the undefeated State Champions, is not measured merely by the number of victories on the court, but by the wholesome and invaluable publicity it secured for our community. This is due to the superb coaching of J. William Kennelly, whose attitude and ability was reflected in the playing of the team—fair and honorable, clever and co-operative. This may be attributed to the team-work of a group who played together, none wanting to be acclaimed a hero, none wanting to be hailed a star, yet all striving to attain victory and the State Championship. Their work has been well done. To Coach Kennelly and his Red Devils , we, the Class of 1934, dedicate this book. Pl mTHE BEACON r T“ 1 C| THE GOOD-WILL TOUR TO WASHINGTON By NATHAN GOLDSTEIN T HE best graduation gift one could receive would be a trip to Washington. This is the belief of the team and myself after spending a few days in the nation’s capitol. We can now appre¬ ciate why neighboring high schools have annual excursions for the senior class each year to this beautiful city. Wide streets are flanked by spacious buildings which are classical or modern in design. Cleanliness seems to pervade the atmosphere. Rubbish does not fill any of the highways and everything is spick and span. This one fact impressed us so that we resolved that we would help keep our city as clean as possible. One of the first places we visited was the Smithsonian Institute. A trip to this Institute is an event that can never be forgotten. Every contribution to civilization and the progress it has made can be found here. The development of science and industry, the expansion of commerce and invention, and the growth of religion and art, are symbolized and represented in the museum by true and actual paintings, statues, machines, and other means of expressing and tracing these facts and ideas. Lindbergh’s plane, the first locomotive, life among the savage Indians, the pagodas of the East, ammunition used in past wars, and thousands upon thousands of other things are found here. It would take weeks to view everything in this place. Another building that is visited daily by hundreds of tourists is the Congressional Library, which is opposite the Capitol. When entering the place a guide escorts you through the rooms where cases are viewed in which important documents, such as the Constitution and Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address, are kept. From a balcony the books in this library can be seen. Books containing all kinds of information can be found here. The walls and dome of this building are covered with paintings made by world famous artists. One of the walls is a mosaic, having beau¬ tiful and bright tints blending into a symphony of color. It holds one spellbound. Another section that is interesting, is the collection of Lincoln’s photographs, each one has about it a seriousness and graveness. Several hours were devoted to the Capitol. First the party went to the House of Representa¬ tives which was in session. We were surprised by the absence of most of the members and the apparent indifference of those present to the business of the session. The Congressmen walked up and down the aisles or read newspapers while the Speaker of the House conducted its affairs rather mechanically. A similar scene took place in the Senate. Then we visited the Hall of Fame, where statues of prominent citizens, two from each state in the Union are standing. Another impressive sight is in an adjoining room in which paintings are hung that depict important chapters in American history. Among them are frescoes which represent the great progress made in this country from the time it was settled until this day. The Lincoln Memorial is another place that is not easily forgotten. It is a white marble temple and is a conspicuous object that can be seen from many widely spread points. The Union, at the time of his death, of the United States is expressed in the colonnade surrounding the hall. Above the columns are the names of the present forty-eight states. Above the entrance is the name of our state, Massachusetts. On the inside is a giant statue of Lincoln sitting in a marble chair. At the first glimpse of him, he looks like a huge, live, pathetic giant. Across from this temple is the Washington Monument, and between them lies the reflecting pool. This site is most beautiful just at sunset. At Mt. Vernon we viewed the Mansion Home of Washington and the beautiful site sur¬ rounding it. This large site is covered with green grass and large trees. The Home itself is large and spacious and it contains many of the things used by General Washington himself. On the same site is the tomb of Washington, which is a structure consisting of plain brick with an arched gateway in front. As I left Washington, I was sorry for I hated to leave the finest place in these United States, which had taught us, in the short space of four days, more than we could learn about this place in all textbooks. We left with the memories of glorious scenes which we will cherish till our dying days; for even if we are fortunate to visit this place again, it can never destroy our first and best impression of this city. [ 3 ] HISTORY OF THE HIGH SCHOOL By DOROTHEA EBURNE npHE old wing of the present high school on Crescent Avenue was completed and ready for occupancy in 1905- Agitation for the new building began in 1915- The school was so crowded that a two-platoon system was used which continued until the fall of 1926. The plans for the new wing were accepted by the school board and excavation for the new wing was started in 1923. On the first floor are the administrative offices, twenty classrooms, clinic rooms, teachers’ room with lockers, and book storage room. On the second floor are twenty-one classrooms and a beautiful library, seating sixty. On the third floor are special rooms for freehand and me¬ chanical drawing, two sewing rooms, two physics laboratories, two cooking rooms, a model dining room, a biology laboratory, a suite of four commercial rooms and several other rooms. In the basement are the cafeteria, printing rooms, manual training rooms, janitor’s room, and storage rooms. In the basement and sub-basement are the heating plant and ventilation apparatus. The auditorium is furnished with comfortable seats for about sixteen hundred. It has a finely equipped stage and is well lighted. The gymnasium is equipped with locker rooms and showers. The chief aim of the school is to train for good citizenship. Inscribed in stone on the Crescent Avenue front is the excellent motto: “Wisdom is greater than knowledge; character greater than power.’’ [ 4 ] FCFEWCFD ONTENIS DEDICATION FOREWORD ADMINISTRATION SENIORS 2 5 7 . 17 . 71 . 73 . 88 . 99 THE OFFICE R. R. Webber, Principal Sumner M. Davis, Master J. William Kennelly, Junior Master Etta Kotzen, Clerk [ 9 ] M. E. STEWART, Faculty Adviser OUR LIBRARY O UR Library is open from eight-fifteen in the morning until after school closes at two o’clock. During this time the pupils come flocking in one after the other, either for reference work, to return a book they have borrowed, or to read the current magazines. At this time of year the members of the basketball team and their friends are the earliest visitors. They come before school to read the sporting news in the Boston Herald which Miss Walton, the librarian, brings each morning for the pupils. A large, sunny room in the front of the building is our library. It is a little over sixty-eight feet long and twenty- eight feet wide. There are ten large tables which seat approximately sixty people. It is at these tables that the pupils study. Miss Walton’s desk is in the center of the room and faces the main entrance. She is the librarian. There are three large bookcases and three smaller ones out¬ lining the room. Statues, pictures, basketball trophies and plants help to decorate and give our library a cheerful atmosphere. On one of the walls is a large bronze tablet in memory of Frank Milton Gilley. It was erected by the teachers of the high school in memory of his distinguished services. For forty-two years he was a teacher of science in our school. There are approximately sixteen hundred books on the shelves of our library. Most of them are for reference. The subject matter is classified under the Dewey Decimal system. They are: general works, philosophy, religion, sociology, languages, natural sciences, useful arts, fine arts, literature, history, and biography. The pupils are allowed to take these books to the tables for study, after having signed for them. Each year as money is available, new books are purchased. Last year from one lecture fund the school made eighty dollars with which to buy new books and magazines. Occasionally, the library is used for social events. Each year the French Club holds its annual party here. Recently a professor addressed the French Club all in French. Both the lecture and the reception that followed were held in this room. The pupils get a great deal of enjoyment out of going to the library. Everyone is allowed to take home certain books or magazines. In this way we have a chance of reading books that are well worth while. Good books and magazines add to the intellectual side of our character. They also give us a taste for good reading that will become a habit when we leave school. I think there is a feeling of goodwill in our library; when a student enters the room he or she cannot help feeling it. Miss Walton is always willing to help any one who is looking for material and cannot find just what is wanted. This year we have had library lectures for all the pupils about the care of books and good citizenship in the library. In one of the talks, Miss Walton said that each pupil is a share¬ holder in the school library while he attends this school. The room is for his use. If we take good care of the stock, not onlv are we learn- ing to respect books in gen¬ eral but we are helping the pupils of other classes to enjoy our library as we have done during the years we have attended high school.

EDWARD BROWN [ 19 ] THE BEACON | CLASS HISTORY By ESTHER MACK W E, the young men and women, who had recently graduated from the various junior high schools of the city, stood on the warm, sultry Wednesday morning of September 8,1931, awaiting the ringing of the bell and the opening of the awe-inspiring portals which would launch us on a three-year high school career. We were the members of the Class of 1934, one of the largest and finest classes ever to enter the Chelsea Senior High School. Almost immediately we, sophomores, began to show our true worth, both intellectually and athletically. We were cordially welcomed by Mr. Webber and the members of the faculty. However, we realized that we must prove our worth to the faculty and to the somewhat dis¬ dainful upper classmen. At the end of the sophomore year, we found that many of our number had reaped academic honors and that we were well represented on the various athletic teams as well as in other school activities. The next year found us Juniors and upper classmen. The year was a rather difficult one and it was necessary to keep our noses to the grindstone almost continually. Our first entrance into the government of the school was made when the leadership of the class was granted to Isadore Stavisky, our President, assisted by Max Rickman, Vice President; Edward Brown, Treasurer; and Lillian Stamell, Secretary. That year, for the first time in the history of the class, a student council was elected to aid the class officers. Soon after the election of officers, plans were laid for our first social venture, the Junior Prom. Because of the untiring efforts of the officers and the Student Council, it was a most successful affair. In May another brilliant affair, the Junior Frolic, was held. It was a group of tired young men and women who awaited the end of a second successful year. After ten weeks away from school, we again entered those famous portals as Seniors—the goal of all our work. We immediately embarked upon the most brilliant, outstanding, and suc¬ cessful year in our high school career. What joys and honors that year brought us! We chose as pilots for our ship about to embark upon its last voyage, Nathan Goldstein, President; Max Rickman, Vice President; Edward Brown, Treasurer; and Lillian Stamell, Secretary. Due to the success of the Student Council the previous year, a Senior Student Council was chosen. In December we held our Senior Prom which was another brilliant social and financial success. The senior play, Green Stockings , was given March 23, 1934. In this play we saw some of the finest acting and showmanship ever to be exhibited by any senior class. The leading roles were played by Josephine Milgroom and Anthony Zaitz. We were again faced with the problem of selecting three of our classmates to be honored as the speakers at Class Day to be held June 6. After much deliberation we chose Norman A’Hearn, Orator; Barnett Burstein, Prophet; and Esther Mack, Historian. Our Senior Year was one of the most outstanding athletic years in the history of the school for the basketball team, on which played three seniors: Isadore Stavisky, Captain; Nathan Saltzman, and Robert Hanson, won the Eastern Massachusetts Basketball Championship and consolation prize in the New England Tournament. The other varsities perhaps not so successful but also bringing honor to the school were captained by seniors: football, Arigo LaTanzi; base¬ ball, Frank Saladino. The Debating Team, the French Club and other organizations always outstanding at Chelsea High brought victories and honors to the school. We are here today—Class Day—reviewing past events and trying to look into the future. All of us are eagerly awaiting the two greatest events of our school career—reception and graduation. The reception will mark the close of all our social activities and is the highest rung in the social ladder. Graduation on June 18 crowns the successful end of three years of hard work interwoven with periods of rest and play. Graduation marks the end of the old life and the beginning of the new. What the future holds in store for us we know not. Some of us are going to enter the ivy-covered gates of higher insti¬ tutions. Some are going into the world with all the eagerness with which we entered high school to make our fortunes. All of us hope for success and joy in life. Soon we shall be assimi¬ lated in that vast multitude, surrounded by new friends, new events, new things. But we shall never forget those three all too short years in the Chelsea Senior High School upon which we can look back as an inspiration, a guide, a beacon shining in the past! May we evermore revere and honor thy name. [ 20 ] I FRANCES ABBER “Frimick” 189 Second St. December 17, 1915 Silence is the safest course for anyone to follow. Commercial Course.

[ 53 ] Norman A’Hearn Esther Mack Barnet Burstein CLASS DAY By LILLIAN STAMELL T HE idea which was originated by the previous graduating class, whereby the students took complete charge of the school during the first four periods on Class Day, was approved by the Senior Student Council, and a similar program met with success. On Wednesday, June 6, 1934, Class Day was held by the Seniors. From the first period, beginning at 8:35 a.m. through the fourth, the Senior Class ran the school, including the various departments. There was a student principal and many students were teachers. The students who participated were those selected by the regular teachers and appointed by the members in charge of the affair. In addition were school-committeemen, janitors and others who are connected with the school. The honor of being Superintendent of schools went to the class President, Nathan Goldstein, and in place of Mr. Webber, Maurice Garber acted as Principal. Norman A’Hearn acted for Mr. Davis. When the fifth period ended, the Seniors assembled to the auditorium and were diverted by the Class Day speakers. The Class History was delivered by Esther Mack, followed by the Class Orator, Norman A’Hearn, and Barney Burstein brought forth an entertaining prophecy. The eventful afternoon was followed by a dance which was held in the evening from 8:00 p.m. until midnight in the gymnasium for seniors only. Refreshments were served to those who attended. The day proved very successful and enjoyable to both those who attended and to those who participated in the various activities. [ 54 ] LET US REMAIN TRUE AMERICANS CLASS DAY ORATION by NORMAN A’HEARN S INCE the beginning of time governments have been organized and governments have been overthrown. It happened centuries ago when the powerful Greek City States were ruthlessly destroyed and more recently and perhaps more unfortunately in Germany, Russia and Spain. It appears that no matter how successful a government is in its administration of affairs, there is always a certain faction of society that is anxious to tear down the structure and destroy the very principles of the existing power. During the past four years this country has been in a state of in¬ dustrial depression and so also have been the countries of Europe. Because of the severe political, social and economic problems which we are now experiencing, certain groups are taking ad¬ vantage of the situation. A sinister conspiracy against the government of the United States is at work throughout our country. Because we have entered upon a new theory of government, there is no reason whatever for any group to change outright the Constitution of the United States or in any way destroy those principles upon which this government was founded. Of late we have been hearing and reading of those who warn of a dictator in our midst; of those who are planning to overthrow our democratic form of government. Much of this propaganda has emanated from that nauseating un-American doctrine called Communism. We have all heard from time to time of Communistic activity. The parades of “comrades,” the ranting speeches, the flaunting of the red flag, and the frequent clashes with the police are familiar incidents in the life of our larger cities. They have been accepted tolerantly by the American people as a whole, without particular resentment and without alarm. Americans are by nature tolerant, particularly in matters of opinion and theory. We believe in free speech and we are instinctively averse to measures of repression. We are not concerned with the individual who stands on a soap box and orates. But usually that is about the extent of our interest in the question or of our notice of it. The question is far more important and deserves far closer attention. Now we should be concerned with what is doing the most harm. I refer to the journals dedicated to the overthrow of our government which circulate freely among large numbers of the people. To disseminate useful and instructive information is one thing. It is a very different thing to conduct a far flung propaganda movement with the object of confusing the thought of the nation, impairing the strength of its convictions, undermining its traditions and inviting untold dangers. The foremost of these journals, American Guard , is published in Massachusetts. It is from this source that the country is being flooded with propaganda which represent as obsolete the policies and doctrines which have proved the strength of our democracy. The great mass of our people understand America. They know its history. They feel that in America liberty has prospered as in no other part of the world, that here in the United States great personal advantages are enjoyed by the people and offered freely upon equal terms to the oppressed of other lands who seek refuge among us. It is unfortunate indeed that so many newcomers in our midst, refugees from bitter want and cruel repression in Europe are induced by fanatics to identify themselves with Communism, and what is even more unfortunate is the attempt to induce the youth of America to join a movement to overthrow the existing power in the United States. Acting upon the old saying, “As the twig is bent the tree inclines,” propaganda has es¬ tablished a habit of invading the American colleges. It is for this reason that Communists are so anxious to place editions of their false doctrines in school libraries. Organizing student groups to foment disloyalty is another malicious method of their attack. Soon we are to go out into the world to overcome its many problems and face its many evils. Whether we enter into the industrial world or continue with our education, one of the greatest evils to confront us will be communistic propaganda. The situation is serious. The youth of today in order to overcome the evils of Communism should form a determination to uphold and defend the United States; to crush into defeat those who are trying to undermine our government.

SENIOR STUDENT COUNCIL T HE Student Council which was first organized by the Class of 1933 to handle class affairs met with the approval of the Class of 1934, and a similar organization was chosen to carry on the business of the Class this year. Two representatives, one boy and one girl, were elected from each home room. The home room unit is a small one, and therefore, the representatives can keep in close touch with the pupils they represent and can at all times present their views and decisions to the council. The students chosen are generally those who are outstanding in leadership and ability. The council form of government is truly democratic and appears to represent as fully as possible the expressed wishes of the Class as a whole. During the year the class officers have found their assistance necessary and valuable in helping them to conduct the business of the Class. The first business transaction brought upbefore the council was the decision on the Yearbook. The motion was carried and put before the Class. Their suggestions met with approval. In order to complete the Yearbook in the desired fashion, individual class pictures, and pictures of various groups were included. The matter of the Yearbook was thus settled. The Senior Prom was the next matter taken up by the council. The affair was held on Friday, December 15, 1933, in the school gymnasium and was a success both financially and socially. The date set by the council for the annual senior play was March 9, 1934. The play, Green Stockings, was directed by Mrs. Fay who selected a very fine cast. The program sponsored on Class Day, June 6, 1934, was planned by the Student Council, whereby the students had complete charge of the school. The Class Day exercises were followed by a minstrel show and a dance in the evening. Much credit is due to the class advisors, Mr. Anderson and Miss Sharood, who have ably assisted the council at the meetings. And through the co-operation of the members of the Class, the Senior Student Council feels that the year was a very successful one. [56] Rowena Akerman Thomas Chin Jacob Bornstein GRADUATION HONORS Thomas Chin ......... Valedictorian Jacob Bornstein ..... First Honor Essay, College Course Rowena Akerman .... First Honor Essay, Commercial Course E ACH year the honor of speaking at graduation is conferred on one student chosen from the college and technical divisions, one student from the commercial division, and one student proficient in studies and prominent in school activities. This year the student in the college course thus honored is Jacob Bornstein. The honor student who has been selected from the commercial division is Rowena Akerman. Thomas Chin was chosen as the student who has achieved most in his studies and has distinguished himself in debating as well. Added to the honor of having been chosen valedic¬ torian of the Class of 1934, Thomas Chin will graduate from the Chelsea High School magna cum laude , the highest honor any graduate of any school can obtain. He also has succeeded in earning the highest marks ever attained at the school. He has gained still more honor as the author of the prize winning essay, “The Sixth Object of Rotary,’’ in the country-wide contest that was carried on when the Rotary International held their annual convention in Boston. [ 37 ] PROPHECy By BARNET BURSTEIN When your fate fortune tellers read, They felt all the bumps on your head, Which was annoying and made you so hazy, That the happiest fortune seemed crazy. By cards, by handwriting or trances, You may learn of your next circumstances. But I, the seventh son of the seventh son of The seventh son have a new method astound¬ ing That is every old system confounding. Did you know that the shape of your noses, Your minds and your future discloses? Just to prove my powers are ample I shall give you a wonderful sample. I glance thus at your noses all glowing And straightway your fortune I’m knowing. STEVE STAVISKY Hark, I see a ball totter on the rim, And amidst a great roar fall in. As Steve Stavisky of Chelsea High fame Puts in the basket to win another game. SALLY FISHER Let your voices rise and roar For Sally Fisher, Miss 1934. Refined and nice and therefore selected To be known as the lady perfected. NATHAN GOLDSTEIN Make way, the great statesman walks, But at public speaking Nate balks. Although he has very much wit, He is very shy at using it. ELAINE BROWN A smile for all, a welcome glad, A jovial coaxing way she had. My crystal clearly portrays Elaine’s fate, For she will be known as Night Club Kate. BOB HANSON Bob is always up in the air, And loves to take chances and perils to dare. He will soon be a world famed aviator, As famous as Lindy, even greater. BETTY BURGESS Betty is a gorgeous little lady Whose life is all laughter and gayety. She has only yesterday married number three, A millionaire, old enough her father to be. LILLIAN STAMELL JANET BRAVERMAN Lil and Janet are girls of very small voice, But great big emotions and song quite choice. So they’ll be radio crooners some day, And sob in the ether their troubles away. [ 38 ] BEATRICE GLAZIER Thy smile can make a summer, Where darkness else would be. But why are you so pretty and tall, When you knew we like ’em pretty and small. JOSEPHINE MILGROOM With gestures wide and voice intense, At speaking pieces she’s immense. And so Josephine upon the stage Will soon become the nation’s rage. MAX RICKMAN Max is one of the very few, Who argued his every view. He’ll either be a senator or a mayor. Perhaps he’ll be the two. GERTRUDE SPRACKLIN She is all my crystal points her, She is lovely, she is sure divine. Her eyes are blue, her skin is fair, But best of all she has blonde hair. ABRAHAM PROVIZER Chick likes to speculate, And takes his fun in tempting fate. So he’ll become—the reckless joker— A very lucky wall street broker. ELEANOR McCANN Not fond herself of overwork, She can’t endure that others shirk. So Eleanor will run, with glee, A great employment agency. ELBERT TOBEY Elbert is a hunter and Brave Buck is his name. He and his trusty hatchet are on the pinnacle of fame. One day he killed a lion with just one shot; Then with a great crash, fell out of his cot. ABRAHAM GOLDBERG Young Goldberg has a great ambition To be a wily politician. And by the Communists he’ll to Washington be sent, And twenty years from now, be President. ESTHER MACK A sad little girl with big, brown eyes, And when she is very happy she cries. For she has found the key of Sophistication to the n’th degree. SAM SILVERSTEIN A plumber working very much. With charges huge and nerve such That Sam’s future is plain I see. A very wealthy man he’ll be. TOM LAKE In my all seeing crystal, I see a navy gob, The only thing he could get resembling a job. Tom joined the Navy to see the world through a porthole, Now swabbing the deck he sees his mistake, poor soul. RIGO LaTANZI As captain of Harvard’s baseball team, Rigo likes to dream and dream. Of the time when for the Braves he’ll play, But he’ll only be bat-boy, the fates foresay. TED ROSENTHAL By writing poetry and prose To very great fame Ted rose. He had an urge for drawing too, And so has been signed by Ballyhoo. MYER WACKS Meyer argues morning, noon, and night, And wins if he be wrong or right. So Myer will be, of course, A lawyer, criminal and divorce. GEORGE GENS George walks to and fro day by day, And his heart is filled with great dismay. Although he wished to put on the ritz, He is only an order-boy for Rabinovitz. BILL SHERMAN Sherman is a big, burly ice-man, Whose body is covered with a dark brown tan, And every week he gets a few bucks, For driving one of the ice companies trucks. GEORGE MARDEROSIAN George is a famous wrestler with great muscles, And has not yet been beaten in his many tussles. But for the first time since he donned his wrestling pants, He will soon be defeated by that thing called Romance. [ 59 ] PAUL DALIS Dalis is very rich, And not from digging the ditch. He has opened a big store by fate, And is the biggest banana man in the state. LOU RAISMAN AND TURK SALTZMAN Raisman is a funny clown, The toast of the great white way. But who is that with him coming down? Why it’sTurkSaltzman, thestoogeof the play. BERNARD GLASSMAN Beer garden reads the sign. I hear glasses klink. I see plenty of beer and wine While Bartender Glassman passes drink after drink. MARTIN SHERR Marty was a runner of much fame, And is very much still the same. He entered the Western Union after he got out of school, Now he spends his time hopping trucks and playing the nigger-pool. DANTE YANETTI Yanetti is called Bif the Biffer. He will be a champ some day, His nose will be broken and he will have a tin ear, And will end up a heavy drinker of beer. SYLVIA SANDLER Syl is now a star in the screen, And a prettier actress cannot be seen. But her leading man she is soon to marry Whose name we know as John Morebarry SAM LINDEN Linden now goes to college, Where he is cramming himself with knowl¬ edge. He studies until his brains grow fagged, His eyelids droop, and his jaw is sagged. Ah, Sam has lost his looks Over some gosh darned school books. PHILIP KUPERBERG AND GEORGE MORRISON Do tomorrow what you can do today. Why should they fret and sweat they say. Phii and George in ease wiggle their toes, And live the life of lazy hoboes. EDWARD BROWN Ed is now one of the Braves, And the pitcher’s call, how he craves. But whenever he growls, Off he goes chasing fouls. SOL COLLEGE AND SAM CUTLER Sol and Sam were famous gangsters, And they ran a moonshine still. Until they forgot to give the chief his cut, by fate, And he sent them to Hades with hate. DOROTHY WEINSTEIN I see a wash woman holding the picture of Helen of Troy And was she a hot baby, oh boy. Helen only had charm at her best, But Dot thinks she is better than Mae West. FRANK SALADINO Frank is one of the strong, silent type, And what he thinks he dares. He sits on a flag pole day and night, And for others’ opinions never cares. JOHN MOSGOFIAN AND MORRIS SCHWARTZ John and Schwartz are going out West, Where a man is a man and a woman a pest. There they are going to teach the cows How to grow misplaced eyebrows. JOHN MOLLOY John will go to Washington, And there will have plenty of fun. Until by chance, a Russian girl will he see, Who will be his life’s destiny. DOROTHEA EBURNE Dot is a public stenographer, And many have tried to date her. But she has given them all the air For a bald-headed sugar daddy—a multi¬ millionaire. [ 60 ] GEORGE CARVIN AND JENNY BENNETT George I now see at his busy farm, Whose wife is now his only alarm. For Jenny does not like to be a farmer’s wife, And settle down to country life. AL CHAPMAN Chip is a jolly, good fellow, And so has become a clown in a side-show. Whenever his jokes are not quite new His public will give him a terrible boo. ANNA CHICK Anna, to all appearances, is a lass quitesimple, But do not be fooled by her dimples. She was very modest but now is very bold, All she wants is her play-boys and gold. BEATRICE LERNER Doughnuts and lunch counters will be Red’s ruination, For a waitress is to be her destination. In her small cafe she dreams, Her hands all wrinkled and her face all seams. THOMAS CHIN In the years to come Tom will be A solemn doctor of Philosophy. Einstein’s theory shall be explained, And great heights shall he attain. RUTH GLAZER Ruthy applies a little lipstick And now puts on the paint. But she puts this on as she is bade For she is only a rich woman’s maid. PHYLLIS KAPLAN AND RUBIN SCHNEIDER I see a blushing bride and a tall groom, Alas, thev are now setting their own doom, For he will soon be washing pans and pots, While she takes care of their many tots. JAKE SLUTSKY Jake is kind and generous, A great spender of others’ time. Like other greats, he has a divided aim Love of woman, and desire for fame. IRENE HARDIGAN Irene is a pretty vamp and sly heart breaker That with full knowledge I speak, For every glance she gives a chap Makes his heart to jump and leap. MORRIS SHAUFFER He is seen every night at the dance halls, For he receives from the women many calls, But for his time he takes in plenty of dough. Alas, Morris is an overpaid gigolo. HERMAN KARLL Missy is now a statesman very stealthy, And from this has become very wealthy. For he ditched all his pals for a couple of gals, And skipped for a place which was healthy. FRANCES COHEN Fran will kill her husband in her bid for fame And then in a scandal sheet she’ll find her name. While on trial, at her will the jury gaze, And set her free while they are in a daze. BENJAMIN WILENSKY Oodles is known as Professor Wilensky, And now is quite different you see. Benjamin conducts a famous school Teaching the good old game of pool. SARA ROTTENBERG She is the maid of artless grace, Gentle in form and fair of face. Sarah will live in plenty all her life, A big butter and egg man’s wife. ELMER CHAPMAN From the girls Elmer ran and ran. It is a plague to be too handsome a man. At the world he wore a bashful look, But some day he’ll fall sinker, line, and hook. RAY SELZNICK ■Ray is now a doctor’s wife, Who is being taught all about life. For a long time she has been sitting on pins. She has a feeling it’s going to be twins. CHARLES COLSON Charles will be a fiery debater, His expression will be vigorous and free. Debating will set him afire And his phrases will soar higher and higher. [ 61 ] ni HTHE BEACON r r l Cl MARY CEFALO Mary for clothes has a passion, And always knows the latest fashion. Her hat is red; her shoes are brown; Her dress is white and very tight. And when French clothes are the rage, Her picture is plastered all over the front page. ANN GARRITY From our class goes this pretty red-head, Who will be a success ’tis said. An actress very daring will be Ann, And from the censors will receive a ban. MORRIS FISHMAN Fish will be known as the terrible Greek, And he will have a marvelous physique. But why oh why is Fish so meek, When the girls at his muscles peek. ROSE PEARLMAN Now the fates foresee a Hawaiian field in May, And Rosy of old working in the hay. No, she is not trying the field to till, She is only earning a few dollars as a Hula- Hula girl. NORMAN A’HEARN Normie has a wonderful smile. It certainly takes the cake. He will not fare so bad, For he will be a model for a tooth-brush ad. ANTHONY ZAITZ Tony is famous for his saxophone, Which has plenty of jazz, harmony and tone. He has not yet even received a razz, But like Rudy Vallee will receive a grapefruit for his jazz. NINA DOBRENCHUK Nina is a girl of many curves and much grace Her charms are reflected in her form and face- Now it will be her ambition To give the actresses hot competition. MORRIS COHEN Cohen is a high-powered salesman, And he rides in a little Austin. His chief worry for a long time has been, How can he with ease get his big stomach in. SAM RUBIN Sam is an author who has risen to fame. He has written the story, Golden Locks and the peroxide bottle. Thus covering himself with glory. PHIL SANDERSON Sanderson has a voice very charming, And to the people is irresistible and alarming, For their money from then soon flies As “cigars, five cent cigars’’ Philly cries. BERNICE WATERMAN She is kind of small but mighty, Over her beaus, she has power nightly. She will not even give them a kiss Until they buy her that and this. LEONARD DAVIS Davis is a highly paid piano player, And how he can bang those kevs. I fear he will soon become real rough, And start using a powder puff. I hope this magic sample Has shown you my power is ample, And that the outline of your noses, Your future honestly discloses. But wait, if you think my style amiss, Nor care for prophecies like this, Or if you, much worse, Became weary of my poor verse, I give you promptly these, My most sincere apologies. [ 62 ] ni nTHE beacon n SENIOR STATISTICS By JOSEPHINE MILGROOM JMOST” four hundred we stand, united and ready to look the world squarely in her two blue eyes. Who are we? We, the Class of ’34—tough as nails and hard as tacks—the class which can do anything from the Lindy hop to chawin’ tobacco, the class which has the sweetest record going, the class which is the first in history to ever have recognized sophs and granted them “independence.” We suffer not from sophisticitis or bigheaditis; in fact our heads are so small that since we’ve been in high school, the price of hair-cuts has gone down! We’ve got pep and steam enough to supply energy for seven and a half steam rollers, enough perseverance to outwit 11,752 cactus plants, enough sugar to fill two medium-sized cavities, enough quick action to explode ten kids’ toy guns, enough grit to fill up eight pounds of spinach, and enough school spirit to haunt a house. I heard a funny man say that every time he read Julius Caesar , he found out what the Class of ’34 isn’t. He means that Caesar was ambitious. Well, listen to the ambitions of some of my fellow-students and change your opinion. They are of the loftiest nature imaginable. To be a teacher and get revenge. To be a man. To work in a kiss-proof lipstick factory. To skin a “peach.” To graduate. To hold Clark Gable’s hand. To be a bootlegger. To kidnap Mr. Gaffney. To sell Herr Hitler a Torah. To slide down Durante ' s shnozzola. To be a Fuller Brush man. The most popular ambition was—er—“none”—but there were a few people who went in for the lonely arts—dancing, singing, playing pianny, etc. Can you imagine such ambitions? Little trivial things like that, too. One girl wanted to be an old maid and fool her mother; another wanted to be a “certain” person’s private secretary. Lest I forget—we have a number of people in our class who are just going to be sixteen or who will still be fifteen at graduation time. Among them are Julia Kaplan, Sylvia Berson, and “Chubby” Burstein. There are many over sweet sixteen too—as I’ve been warned that a word from me will be enuff to cause my poor body to be hacked in pieces and thrown upon the several seas, I shall not divulge any names. On an average, the graduating age of our class divided by 7 T and multiplied by 3-414 comes out to about 17.00000 for the brighties and 18.00000 foi the dummies. Everybody took off his shoesies and the stockings—not to go in wading, but to find out his exact height in cubic centimeters. But our own little “Turk” Saltzman had it all over anybody for the inches. He can look down on us all! When he stands against Bernie Glassman there is that queer sensation of seeing the Empire State Building up against a Hawaiian hut. As the girls go— there are plenty of tall lanks like “Bee” Glazier and Selma Green. For the “shorts” there are [ 63 ] plenty eligibles. But the queer thing is that the little shorts think they’re the big shots and —oh! I’m getting dizzy! In the King’s English,to figure out the average height of the class take Yi foot from “Turk,” put it on Bernie and there you be—5 feet 6 inches—everything’s balanced on the books, too. For the best male teacher, Mr. Earle Anderson simply was showered with votes, no doubt for his sense of humor, fairness, and good-naturedness. Doing thefemale honors, most deservedly, too, the sweetest lady in all the world, Miss Ella M. Deasy, came out on top. But when it came to favorite studies, pupils seemed to like the lunch period and study period better than anything else worth mentioning. By using psychology it is easy to see the great genius of our Class. Their choice of “study period” without doubt indicates their intense desire for study and their fine powers of concentration. Of course, French, Biology, Latin, and English pulled a few votes. And some cute thing said that the boy friend’s graduation picture was her favorite study! When my worthy colleagues were asked what their favorite pastime was, the answers were too deep even for me—so I just let it go at that. Of course, if you coax real cutely, I’ll tell you that one liked to swat flies by the hour, another one wanted to just lose collar buttons, while a third liked to go around killing kids. Along with pastimes, we recorded the number of people who intend to go to college. Out of the “about” 384 answers, “about” 384 intend to go to college! Oh well, nobody can say we didn’t have good intentions. Maybe five of us will go. Many pupils seem to have held outside jobs while going to school and since the number of our honor students is increasing, it is easy to see that we are quite capable of holding jobs. It does seem rather phoney that so many people claim they’ve had jobs. How about the depression? I forgot all about the C.W.A.! As far as the honor business is concerned, some fellow acted sur¬ prised—when he was asked whether he was an honor Student. He hung his head in obvious shame, raised his eyebrows and in a martyr’s voice, answered, “Sure.” I present Sally Fisher the fur-lined bathrobe for having been duly voted the best looking girl in the class. To Anthony (Tony) Zaitz go all the male honors for being the most likely heart palpitator. You see our Venus and Apollo .... Alma Stanetsky was chosen “best-dressed girl,” and Herman “Missy” Karll was the “best- dressed boy,” while the two chosen to be put at the head of the personality class were Philip H. M. X. K. T. V. N. Sanderson and “Jo” Milgroom. As far as star athletes go, we have twinsies in each sex. Arigo LaTanzi and “Steve” Stavisky stand up as our co-male-duo-he-man-super athletes while “El” McCann and Phyllis Kaplan shake hands across the table for having been rightly chosen the high’s best Babe Didricksons. The most popular boy in the class is—I know you know but I’m gonna tell you—just our little Teddy (Bear) Brown. The most popular girl is Lil Stamell. They’ve been treasurer and secretary respectively of our Junior and Senior class. That even proves it. The boy with the most talent was chosen to be Anthony Zaitz, and the girl sharing the female honors was Josephine Milgroom. Everybody’s favorite movie actor was Clark Gable, the big he-man honey of celluloids. Not a soul voted for the Big Bad Wolf, but one little pig pulled a vote and Mickey Mouse, the Barry¬ mores, Arliss and Freddy March followed closely. Someone voted for Rudolph Valentino! Can you beat it? The favorite movie actr ess was that slithering slosher, wrecker of homes, throbber of hearts, breaker of commandments, “come up ’n see me, sometime.” But Katty Hepburne gave her a hard fight. [ 64 ] The pet radio fogeys ran from Miss Morton Downey to Lonesome Lulu and Lady Esther. But Eddie Cantor, Joe Penner, and Jack Benny were high lights. Boo-boo-boo Bing Crosby was the favorite crooner, but somebody wrote Lily Pons and Lucrezia Bori down for crooners. Casa Loma and Fred Waring’s were the pet jazz teams—to change the subject quickly before I break out into song. The favorite author ran all the way from Louisa May Alcott to Guy de Maupassant, while pet books took in anything and everything from “The Bobbsey Twins at the Sea-side” to “Nana.” How happy I was to see that our class members read “nice” newspapers like the Times and the Transcript. The general vote, however, was for the Daily Record, but a few life-savers (or lemon drops) saved our class morals. As for magazines—well, after looking at the first 200 answers—I thought that Ballyhoo was the only magazine in existence. Some do read the Atlantic Monthly and the Literary Digest —honest. When it comes to morals, do we know our place? Everyone thought it awful for either girls or boys to drink, but that boys could smoke and girls shouldn’t. Well, we sort of have the feeling of right and wrong, you know. (Sometimes we’re right, sometimes we’re wrong.) Three-fourths of us can dance or make a pretense at it—and that’s something. When it comes to sports, though, four-fourths of us like playing and watching the game of basketball. That comes from Steve’s red-devil influence, I guess. The business of the various fathers of the various class members soared from plumbing to running an airway line! Papa was everything including a bootlegger, swindler, politician, crook, and other pleasant things. When the good son was asked whether he intended to follow in his father’s footsteps he smartly replied, “Naw! They’re too small! I’ll have you know I wear a size 20.’’ Just try to get serious around here! What is the most important thing in the world, the class was asked. “A car,’’ someone shouted. “Money” another yelled, but Love triumphed. Ho-hum, I’m awfully tired, Mr. Editor-in-Cheese and I can’t tell you any more about our “swell” class. Somebody once said we seniors couldn’t stand long endurance. He was right. [ 65 ] GREEN STOCKINGS ( .T 3gJy(aa 5 + SENIOR PLAY By SAUL SILBERMAN T HROUGH the joint co-operation of twelve most talented students under the very capable direction of Mrs. Henrietta M. Fay, a three-act comedy, Green Stockings, was brilliantly pre¬ sented as the annual Senior Play on March 23, 1934, before an enthusiastic audience. An old English custom decrees wearing green stockings by the older unmarried daughter as a symbol that she is “shelved” when a younger daughter is married. This is the predicament of Celia Faraday, when the fourth and youngest daughter, Phyllis, announces her engagement to the Honorable Robert Tarver. Irritated and rebellious, Celia decides to invent a suitor and during the opening scene of the play, in a very comical way, breaks the news to the family, of her en¬ gagement to a certain Colonel John Smith who, she says, has just sailed to Africa on a govern¬ ment expedition. This, of course, is wholly fictitious as she invents the name on the spur of the moment. The excited family buzzes about with new respect for the now important daughter, but to Celia it is merely a very funny situation, which she enjoys immensely. To make the story seem more natural to the family, she writes love letters to her mythical lover, but carefully extracts them from the mail before they are posted. However, one letter accidentally slips out and reaches Colonel Smith in Africa. Thus ends the first act. As the second act opens, eight months have elapsed. Celia is still carrying on her ruse, which she has confided only to her aunt, Mrs. Chisholm Faraday. Celia, after influencing her hysterical aunt, has her insert a notice in the London Times of the death of Colonel John Smith in Africa. When the papers arrive at the Faraday home in the absence of Celia, there is a general uproar. As Admiral Grice and Evelyn Trenchard are hiding the papers, Miss Celia walks in. After much commotion and embarrassment, the sad news is revealed to Celia, and to the surprise of all she takes it rather calmly and announces to the family that she will attend the dinner that evening given by Admiral Grice. Colonel Smith is quite the reverse of dead. In fact, he is very much alive. He has received that love letter from Celia and returns to England to make the acquaintance of his supposed fiancee. Seeing the notice of his death, he goes at once to the Faraday home, impersonating an imaginary closest friend, James Nugent Vavasour. When he finally arrives at the Faraday home and is waiting for Miss Celia to make her appearance, he quickly wraps up his watch and ring to present to her as mementoes of the dead Colonel Smith. The opening of the third act finds Celia entertaining Colonel Vavasour. To tease and confuse her, the Colonel asks her to describe Smith as she knew him. The perplexed young woman plays up to the complications which arise, to the secret delight of Vavasour. By the help of Fate and partly by Mr. William Faraday, Celia’s father, Colonel Vavasour, decides to remain until the next morning instead of leaving at ten o’clock that evening. Before Vavasour reveals that he is the real John Smith, Celia and her rashly appropriated fiance have really fallen in love with each other. This is followed by a proposal by Colonel Smith, which she refuses, thinking it was made in pity, but she promptly changes her mind and therefore becomes immune to green stockings. Not only the plot itself, but the realistic manner in which the roles were portrayed, served to hold the audience in suspe nse during the entire play. Josephine Milgroom, as Celia Faraday, acted her part with such brilliancy as would befit a professional actress. Her stage personality and poise captivated the audience. Anthony Zaitz, the hero of the play, John Smith, gave a fine performance. With ease and nonchalance he depicted the emotions of his character with remarkable skill. One of the best character portrayals of the evening was that of Frances Tranfaglia as Mrs. Chisholm Faraday, Celia’s aunt. Her knitting in the opening scene and her hysterics in the latter part of the play greatly delighted the audience. Norman A’Hearn as William Faraday, J.P., the father, did a splendid piece of work in enacting the role of a conventional and proper English parent. A jolly old admiral was depicted by Philip Sanderson in the part of Admiral Grice, R.N. His witty remarks and humorous motions kept the audience in mirth. Phyllis Kaplan as Phyllis Faraday, Elizabeth Burgess as Evelyn Trenchard, and Sylvia Sandler as Madge Rockingham, the other daughters, carried out their parts with convincing realism. Their clever actions brought an English atmosphere into the play. Charles Colson in his enactment of Honorable Robert Tarver, the future husband of Phyllis, furnished the humor. His portrayal of a political and social figure was excellent. Samuel Linden and Jacob Bornstein as Henry Steele and James Raleigh, an inseparable pair, were Celia’s suitors and added greatly to the humor. With his polished, suave manner, and elaborate costume, Paul Matrinko as the butler, Martin, also helped to furnish an English touch. Eleanor McCann and Rowena Akerman were the student assistants. The costumes were in charge of Miss Helen L. Kintz. Edward V. Brown was the stage manager. The sale of candy was under the direction of Mrs. Martha Malone. The Chelsea High School Special Orchestra furnished the music between the acts.

We leave our Yearbook to be opened and read. The publication of a Yearbook usually demands definite procedure, given topics, and a planned channel which must be followed. We have released these tying bonds to a given extent, and have, although confronted with many handicaps, set forth appropriate matter. The Class of 1934 worked zealously to submit this book to meet with the approval of its readers. Many changes have been made both in construction and the assembling of the matter to make the book noteworthy. A yearbook must contain a record of all the activities of all departments of the school. We have striven to present these records in a pleasing manner. We have devoted a section of our book to the faculty, believing homage should be paid to those who have enabled us to understand the intricate problems confronting us. In addition to the committee, which consists of two members from every senior home room, there is a Secretary, Advertising Manager, Sales Manager, and Art Editor. The work was begun earlier than in previous years so that careful attention might be given to all gathered material. Education has been selected as the theme of the book, as its importance can never be over emphasized. Many people believe that our educational expenditures are excessive and burden¬ some. We disagree. Education tends to throw light on matters enabling us to see the truth and to form opinions which have been based on sensible thought. With this in mind the theme was selected. We sincerely hope that the book has been assemble d attractively enough to merit your complete satisfaction.

THE YEARBOOK COMMITTEE T HE Yearbook Committee, composed of one boy and one girl from each senior home room, is intrusted with the production of the Yearbook under the direction of Mr. M. E. Stewart, faculty adviser and head of the English Department. Each home room representative is responsible for the collection and preparation of the material about each student in his room. This information includes the full name, address, date of birth, course taken in high school, a list of all extra curricular activities, and a statement or quotation which applies to the individual. In addition the members of the committee are given special assignments to be done. As a group the committee decides on the paper stock to be used, the cover and similar details which have to be decided with care and discrimination. In addition to this committee of two members from each home room there is a secretary, advertising manager, circulation manager, and art editor, all of whom have a great deal of work to do in their respective positions. The Faculty adviser chooses the members of the committee with the approval of the Principal. He attends to the technical end of the work such as printing, engraving and photography. As the work progresses, he examines all the copy prepared for publication and advises the writer in regard to correction and revision of his material. This work continues throughout the year from the taking of the football pictures in the fall until the book is delivered in its final form in June. In this way the Yearbook is made a complete record of all the activities of the school in the year in which it is published in accurate and artistic form.

JUNIOR STUDENT COUNCIL CLASS OF 1935 T HE members of the Junior Student Council were elected in the early part of November. Two councillors, a boy and a girl were selected from each junior home room. The purpose of the Junior Council is to act as a legislative body representing the entire Junior Class. This is the second year that a student council has functioned at the Chelsea Senior High School. The members of the student council-have been especially co-operative and efficient, giving the president and his fellow officers the much needed help that was necessary. The Junior Student Council and Class owe many thanks to Mr. Hubner and Miss Thomas, their faculty advisors, for their time and advice which made possible the success, socially and financially, of the junior affairs. The members of the Junior Student Council are: Leonard Kornetsky, President; Bernard Stoller, Vice-President; Louise J. Mollickella, Secretary; Samuel Smith, Treasurer; Room 110, Marie Angelo and Sydney Aronow; Room 114, Adele Broner and Jack Clouse; Room 115, Marion Fagan and Irving Croll; Room 116, Patricia Folen and Abraham Goff; Room 117, Sylvia Hankin and Selby Hawkins; Room 118, Arthur Katzen and Zarie Kashishian; Room 120, Gertrude Mugford and John Martin; Room 121, Susan Patterson and Addison Quinn; Room 122, Samuel Schachter and Beatrice Rosenfield; Room 124, Rosco Spinelli and Frances Talewsky; Room 212, Doris Whalen and William Tryder. [ 71 ] Louise Mollickella Leonard Kornetsky Bernard Stoller Samuel Smith JUNIOR CLASS ACTIVITIES By LOUISE MOLLICKELLA ' T HE first event of the Class of 1935 as Juniors was the election of class officers. They are as follows: Leonard Kornetsky, President; Bernard Stoller, Vice-President; Louise Mollickella, Secretary; Samuel Smith, Treasurer. Our long treasured dream of a prom became a reality on the evening of February 9, 1934. In a Valentine setting of hearts and red and white decorations, about two hundred of our class members enjoyed our first social affair. As a novelty feature of the evening, an elimination dance was held. The winner was presented with a box of candy. With the efficient help of the Junior Student Council and our class advisors, Miss Thomas and Mr. Hubner, the Junior Prom was a success both socially and financially. Our second social affair, the May Frolic, was held during the latter part of May. The members of the Student Council served on the various committees. The school gymnasium was prettily decorated in paper of pastel shades which were very appropriate for the occasion. This event was also very successful. Thus the social part of our junior year came to a close. Our goal is a Senior year as successful as the Junior year.

CHEERING SQUAD T i HE first Chelsea High cheering squad was formed this year by Coach Kennelly. The purpose of the squad was to lend its moral support to the home team and also to create a new enthusiasm among the Chelsea residents for the school sports. Both of these objects have been achieved successfully. The girls, nine in number, were given attractive red and white sweaters and their colorful appearance brought forth very favorable comments from the spectators at all the games. The enthusiasm of the squad with their whole-hearted cheers and songs was quickly taken up by the throngs of followers, all of which added so much more to our matches. The cheering squad also proved a valuable factor in the raising of funds for the Good-Will Tour for the team. Through their untiring efforts in this behalf the funds from their bean supper and tag day have made them the highest contributors to the fund. Now that the cheering squad has its definite place with our teams, our sincere wish is that the succeeding squads will prove as loyal in their support as was the pioneer squad of 1933-34. [ 74 ] Front Row: Ernest Huntoon, Payson Cohen, Nick De Prizio, Harry Dillon, Henry Effron,Norman Alpert, Andrew Kornechuk, Irving Croll, Leo Lombardi, Jimmie Spinelli. Second Row: Coach Francis D.

Again Coach Garvey’s boys were a group of nomads playing nine of the eleven games on foreign gridirons due to the lack of a home stadium. Notwithstanding the fact t hat the team faced these conditions the Red and Black made an impressive showing wherever it played. Chelsea dropped the first two games to Lynn Classical and Angel Guardian High School by the scores of 28-0and2-0 respectively. The Lynn team made their forwards work to an advantage and led to Chelsea’s downfall. In the first home game with Angel Guardian at Merritt Park, the spectators saw an even battle until an Angel Guardian player broke through the Chelsea line to block a kick which resulted in a safety, and caused Chelsea to be the short ender. The poor playing condition of the park hindered both teams’ attacks. In the next game Chelsea broke into the win column at the expense of Nashua High School, Nashua, N. H. The first score came when Captain Arigo LaTanzi intercepted a forward pass and [ 75 ] Line: Frank Saladino, Alvin Spicer, Harry Sherr, Thomas Lake, Charles Hovasse, George Mardirosian, Walter Rudziak. Backfield: Henry Effron, John Malloy, Andrew Hornechuk, Irving Croll. ran fifty yards for a touchdown. The second touchdown was accounted when LaTanzi passed fifteen yards to Saladino over the goal line. Frank Saladino, the midget end, made both extra points. On Columbus Day, Chelsea travelled to Leominster to be set back 20-0 by Coach Charlie Broderick’s powerful eleven. The home team’s passing and running attack led by Captain Ronnie Cahill was too big a thorn to get by. The following Saturday, Chelsea was the guest of the undefeated Lawrence High School. After a hard tussle Lawrence squeezed through with a 13-6 score. Lawrence remained the leading schoolboy team of the season by going undefeated. In the next game the arden t followers found Wakefield High as the host to Chelsea. After a nip and tuck battle, in which Chelsea showed the superior power, Captain LaTanzi passed to Sol Nechtem over the goal line for the only score of the day. Saladino drop-kicked the extra point. Billy Sherman’s forty-five yard run and other gains featured. Chelsea came back home to play their second and last home game at Merritt Park. The boys found themselves entertaining a well groomed Worcester North team. After an even tussle, Chelsea buckled up and squeezed through with their third victory when LaTanzi smashed at center to score. This touchdown and only score of the day was made possible after short gains made by Sherman and Nechtem. On Armistice Day, Chelsea met Winthrop. After staving off the home team’s attack and displaying their own; they let down for a moment and Captain Kelly took advantage of it and crashed over for the only score. Chelsea’s next game was at Lowell. Coach Garvey’s boys showed power when they held for four downs on their own three-yard line. With the game actually over, George Marderosian, burly tackle, intercepted a Lowell pass and ran fifty yards for a touchdown. This gave Chelsea its fourth and final victory. Savosik’s try for the extra point fell short. The following Saturday, Chelsea found themselves stacked up against a powerful Peabody team which ended in a 19-0 defeat. The all-scholastic end, Dziersack, playing halfback, proved to be Chelsea’s nemesis by scoring twice and tallying once after a touchdown. [ 76 ] THE BEACON r — Chelsea’s final game of the season was its traditional game with Everett High, at the Everett Stadium on Thanksgiving morning. Everett, resorting to a running, instead of its customary passing attack with Joe Schwerdt as its director, offset Chelsea’s plans and led to a 28-0 defeat. Captain LaTanzi played his final game as a schoolboy player, and gave a fine account of himself. It was his outstanding playing that stopped other possible scores. Substitutes of both teams received action during this encounter. Letters were won by LaTanzi, Lake, Nechtem, Stavisky, Molloy, Sherman, Saladino, Rudziak, Spicer, Marderosian, Sherr, Hovass, Raisman, Effron, Croll, Savosik, and Manager A1 Chapman. Next year’s team is to be captained by Alvin Spicer. Spicer played a steady game at a tackle berth. Although the prospects weren’t very bright this year there is a very bright outlook for next year. With many juniors and sophomores playing leading roles this year and being back next year and the promising material of the incoming SophomoreClass, much attention will be afforded to next year’s team. Head Coach Frank Garvey was assisted this year by Mr. Henry McCarthy and Mr. Frank Cavaliere, who gave their attention to the line men. Next year Coach Garvey will be minus these helpers, but will be assisted by A1 Pierotti, former William School teacher. SEASON’S RECORD Lynn Classical Angel Guardian (at home) Nashua (N. H.)

CHAMPS 1934 GOOD-WILLING Pf T lTHE BEACON n 1933-34 BASKETBALL SEASON O NE of the greatest basketball records for school boys was created when Coach William J. Kennedy and his Red Devils went through an eighteen game schedule undefeated, topped this off by winning the M. I. T. Tournament, making themselves Eastern Massachusetts Champs, and making a brilliant finale by taking consolation prize or third place in the New England Tournament at Tufts College. CHELSEA 58, ALUMNI 41 Chelsea’s basketball team proved to have too much power for their older brothers when they trounced the Alumni 58-41. Throughout this contest many combinations were used in trying to find the best clicking five. CHELSEA 25, MEDFORD 23 Chelsea opened its official season as host to a strong Medford five. After a nip and tuck battle, in which many faults were seen and corrected in the following practice sessions, the game ended in a three minute overtime period when Nechtem and Captain Stavisky sank fouls to annex the victory. Throughout this encounter it was marred by rough tactics. CHELSEA 31, ARLINGTON 9 In the next game Chelsea found an inexperienced Arlington quintet as their opponents. Scoring at will and working their plays to an advantage, the Red Devils had a lead of 17 to 6 at half time. Due to this lead the first team gave way to their subs earlv in the game. Abrams and Captain Steve Stavisky carried off the scoring honors by netting seven and six points respectively. CHELSEA 30, SOMERVILLE 17 In the following game the loyal Chelsea rooters saw the Red Devils administer a 30 to 17 defeat to Coach Buckley’s boys of Somerville High School. During this conflict Bob Hanson sank three baskets and two fouls. This battle appeared to be a drib-drab affair until the Chelsea attack started rallying, and then it was only a question of substituting that stopped the bovs from packing up a high score. CHELSEA 28, LYNN ENGLISH 19 Chelsea came home once more to hand one of its strongest foes a 28 to 19 licking. Meeting one of its major opponents, Chelsea displayed the greatest defensive playing when it held Lynn to one point in the first quarter and bettered this by holding them to one basket in the third. Chelsea led at the half time 15 to 12 due to Nechtem’s three field goals. Starting the second half in fine fashion Chelsea didn’t let down on their defensive play, for they held English to one field goal and ran up a 22 to 14 score at the end of the third period. Chelsea in this quarter hit some hard luck when Bob Hanson sprained his ankle. Disregarding this mishap, and fighting all the more for Bob’s sake, the team held its own and won 28 to 19. CHELSEA 26, EVERETT 17 Chelsea’s next guest was its traditional foe, Everett High School. Minus the services of Bob Hanson, the team clicked and came through with a 16-6 lead at the half. Sol Nechtem, flashy right forward, started to pop during the remaining half, and by doing this led Chelsea to a 26 to 17 victory. Rico LaTanzi, who took Saltzman’s place, the latter switching over to center, did a splendid job by holding his opponent scoreless from the floor. CHELSEA 27, QUINCY 10 Chelsea travelled to Quincy for its next game and was the guest of Quincy High School, which was being boomed at that time as the leading schoolboy team. Quincy having six vic¬ tories under the belt as Chelsea had, were out to make the Red Devils their victims. Strengthened by the return of center Bob Hanson, Quincy was in for a hectic time as was proved by the score. With six hundred Chelsea rooters behind them on the foreign court the Kennelly five displayed the greatest passing and shooting ability ever witnessed at the new Quincy High School Gym. Although Chelsea was clicking offensively, there was no let down defensively, for it held the home team to two goals and one foul during the first three periods. Manny Abrams, diminutive [ 79 ] left forward, rustled the nets for twelve points which included five baskets and two fouls. Once again Coach Kennelly resorted to his substitute material due to the large score run up by the starting five. CHELSEA 29, RINDGE TECH 20 Full of the joy of victory over Quincy, Chelsea came home to defeat a strong and rangy Rindge Tech team 29 to 20. An attendance record was set up when the loyal rooters jammed their way into every available space in the gymnasium. Chelsea led at the half 17 to 10 through the field goals run up by Nechtem and Captain Stavisky. Maintaining the same style of playing, Chelsea came through with their eighth straight victory. CHELSEA 24, BROCKTON 13 Chelsea continued the wonderful style of playing and defeated a small Brockton team. Once again Chelsea showed its powerful defensive play and held the visitors to one field goal during the first period and scoreless the second. They meanwhile gathered ten points to lead 10 to 2 at half time. Through the wonderful offensive attack set up by Captain Steve Stavisky, Chelsea showed its power and drew up with another victory with a 24 to 13 score. CHELSEA 32, SOMERVILLE 4 In the next encounter Chelsea found themselves entertaining the Somerville High School team at the school gym. In this game the boys continued to show their superb power. Sol Nechtem, during this free scoring contest, rustled the nets for seven field goals. Chelsea con¬ tinued to show its brilliant defensive playing and held the visitors to one foul, no points, one basket and a foul to each period respectively. Chelsea having a 23 to 1 lead once again resorted to their substitutes to carry on the assault. CHELSEA 32, ARLINGTON 22 Coach Kennelly led his undefeated quintet to the new Arlington High School Gym to carry on the forceful attack against Arlington High School. Chelsea, during this game, found little [ 80 ] opposition, although the home team showed signs of improvement. Regardless of the slippery conditions of the floor, the Red Devils played their usual fine brand of ball and pulled up at the half with a 15 to 8 score. Coming back at the half and being led by Hanson and Nechtem the team clicked and drew away to a lead of 28 to 11 at the end of the third quarter. Once again the subs were allowed to enter and show their wares. CHELSEA 27, RINDGE TECH 25 Chelsea in their next contest travelled to St. Mary’s Gym, Cambridge, to once again set back the strong Rindge Tech team. Leading 14 to 12 at the half, the Chelsea lads drew away to a lead of 24 to 17 at the end of the third period. Rindge was not through fighting and came back to tie the score in the closing minutes. Regardless of the feat, the boys fought all the harder until Manny Abrams from the left side of the court hooked in his “Pet shot” and won the game. CHELSEA 39, EVERETT 22 Chelsea travelled to Everett to take on the home team. Chelsea once again showed its clicking offense and ran up a 21 to 7 score at the half. Chelsea took up where they left off and continued to score at will and technically ran through Everett. Captain Stavisky and Nechtem both sank five baskets a piece and the former gathering in two fouls also. By defeating Everett, Chelsea gained its thirteenth straight victory. CHELSEA 27, QUINCY 25 Chelsea squeezed through and maintained their clean slate when Ted Rosenthal, dependable sub, dropped in a basket at the final second of the game. Quincy, much improved, did all they could in trying to defeat Chelsea, but weren’t successful. This was the hardest fought game of the season for the Red Devils. The score was 5 to 5 at the end of the first period, 19 to 15 Chelsea at the half, 22 to 20 at the third quarter and a 27 to 25 score at the end of the game, only possible by Rosenthal’s field goal. Minus the service of Bob Hanson and Captain Steve Stavisky who received their exit by the four foul rule. The team continued to play hard and pulled through only by the outstanding playing of Ted Saltzman, burly guard, who repeatedly took the ball from the backboard. CHELSEA 31, CAMBRIDGE LATIN 12 Chelsea once again displayed their wonderful brand of ball and asserted themselves to be the best schoolboy team of the season when they administered a 31 to 12 licking to Cambridge Latin. Bob Hanson and Sol Nechtem sank three baskets apiece, the former netting two foul throws also to help give Chelsea a 20 to 5 lead at the half. Starting off the second half in the same manner as the first led by Captain Steve Stavisky who sank three goals to bring his total up to eleven points for the night. CHELSEA 31, MEDFORD 23 Chelsea travelled to Medford to take on a team all primed to give the Kennelly five its first setback. Looking at the score you will see that they weren’t very successful and were set back like all other opposition. Throughout this struggle Medford couldn’t penetrate the Chelsea defense and had to rely on long shots which held good for most of the time. Regardless of the severe attack given by the Medford High School, Chelsea held their own. The combined efforts of Hanson, Saltzman and Nechtem during the first three quarters managed to gather twenty-one points. Stavisky and Abrams started their work and managed to break through and fetch five points apiece and annex their sixteenth victory. CHELSEA 23, LYNN ENGLISH 9 Chelsea journeyed to the beautiful Lynn English High School Gym, and during their stay set back the home boys 23 to 9- The Red Devils continued to show their steady play regardless of the size of the gym. While Saltzman was covering Kane, the Lynn flash, to one foul shot his team mates threw in their usual points which gained them their seventeenth straight victory. CHELSEA 23, BROCKTON 21 In the next game Chelsea invaded Brockton Armory to take on the poorest showing team that Art Staff ever moulded together. For the first time in many a game was Chelsea behind. Trailing throughout the game the Red Devils put on a terrific spurt with Captain Steve Stavisky as [ 81 ] the main assailant. It was through his wonderful work, both defensive and offensive that Chelsea was successful in winning 23 to 21 and also keeping its slate clean for their wonderful coach. CHELSEA 29, 1930 CHAMPIONS 18 Before showing their wares in the M. I. T. Tournament the 1934 boys were stacked up against the team that won the M. I. T. Tournament in 1930 for a charity game. Showing the same style of play which is known as Kennellv’s “Delayed Offense” the 1934 youngsters proved to carry too much power for their older brothers. During this game Chelsea’s plays worked splendidly and had little trouble in winning. During this game Chelsea’s 1934 captain found the nets for seven field goals. CHELSEA 32, BEVERLY 12 In their first game at the Tech Tournament, Chelsea was opposed by a powerful Beverly five which had just won the North Shore Tournament. But regardless of their reputation the Red Devils went out to display the same brand of ball which carried them through a most successful season. After a few minutes of playing theKennelly quintet clicked and soon ran up a one-sided score. This showed that Beverly was just another mediocre team in the eyes of Chelsea’s loyal backers. Saltzman, Abrams, and Captain Stavisky were the main assailants. The substitutes took up the assault the whole last quarter and gave a good account of themselves. CHELSEA 18, LYNN CLASSICAL 10 In the semi-finals of the tournament, Chelsea found its opponent to be the highly touted Lynn Classical five. Appearing to be off in their usual offensive attack the Red Devils resorted to play defensive. All the boys combining their scoring power could only run up a 11 to 6 score at the half. The same drib-drab game was played also during the remaining half. While holding Lynn to four points the Chelsea aggregation netted six points for themselves and went home with an 18 to 10 victory. CHELSEA 24, FITCHBURG. 21 Going into the finals Chelsea found its opponent the fast breaking Coach Amiott five. Chelsea and Fitchburg displayed their best brand of ball and gave the two thousand witnesses something to talk about. Chelsea, after a night off were in trim to give the strong Fitchburg team a hectic battle. After a wonderful first half, Chelsea was only trailing by one point. During this first half, Sol Nechtem matched his scoring ability with the all around Bill Machie of Fitchburg. Starting off at the second half both teams displayed their best brand of ball. At the end of the third period the teams were tied 13 all. Continuing this wonderful playing by both teams led to the general comment of anybody’s game. In the closing minutes Nechtem and Ahrams worked together to give Chelsea a lead and maintained it throughout the remaining seconds. CHELSEA 35, MANCHESTER, N. H. 19 With the Eastern Massachusetts title under their belts, Coach William J. Kennelly and his Red Devils entered the New England Tournament at Tufts College to see what they could do about carrying off sectional honors. In their first game the Kennelly quintet defeated Manchester High of New Hampshire 35 to 19. Led by Sol Nechtem who found the nets for seven goals and four fouls, Chelsea had little trouble in winning. On account of the large lead set up during the first half the subs were once again allowed to carry on the brunt of the battle. CHELSEA 18, BRIDGEPORT CENTRAL OF CONNECTICUT 24 After rolling up twenty-three straight victories, Chelsea finally succumbed to Bridgeport Central of Connecticut who went on to win the tournament. Showing signs of fatigue and traces of staleness, the Chelsea lads went out to play their hard brand of ball, losing by the score of 24 to 18. Always behind after the first quarter, which was six all, Chelsea endeavored to overtake their opponents. Sol Nechtem continued his scoring spree and netted five goals during the last half. But this wasn’t enough to overcome the lead set up by the powerful Bridgeport team, led by versatile Ken Ritchel. [ 82 ] CHELSEA 19, PAWTUCKET 18 Chelsea proved they could “take it” when they came back the next evening to polish off Pawtucket High of Rhode Island and win the consolation prize for the third best team. Chelsea took the floor, weakened by Manny Abrams who twisted his ankle. This was not all, for after a few minutes Bob Hanson turned over on his sprained ankle and was carried from the floor. Regardless of these facts, Chelsea went out and played head over heels and finally brought home a 19 to 18 victory. Once again Nechtem proved worthy by scoring eleven of the nineteen points. Turk Saltzman’s defensive work was outstanding. Many subs were called upon due to the twisted ankles and four foul rule, and gave a good account of themselves. The 1933-34 basketball season shows the greatest record ever made by Chelsea High School teams. The Red Devils won twenty-four out of twenty-five games. There were double wins over Medford, Arlington, Somerville, Lynn English, Everett, Quincy, Rindge Tech, and Brockton. Single games won were Alumni, Cambridge Latin, 1930 Champions, Beverly, Lynn Classical, Fitchburg, Manchester, and Pawtucket. The only defeat was by the New England Champs, Bridgeport Central High School of Connecticut. Sol Nechtem copped off scoring honors by gathering in 206 points. Abrams was runner up with 155 while Captain Stavisky, Hanson and Saltzman came behind. This team showed it was a five man team. Sol Nechtem and Manny Abrams rated with any of the forwards representing this school while the trojan work done by Captain Stavisky and Ted Saltzman in the back court can’t be compared. And in Center Bob Hanson, Chelsea has a boy who will hold his own with any schoolboy center. Of the ten regular players, only two will be back next season. That is the two flashy forwards, Nechtem and Abrams who will captain the team. Several members of the Junior team are sure to make the first string next year.

BY 390-317 MARGIN In chalking up 12 victories out of 17, including seven in a row at the start, Chelsea seconds outscored their rivals, 390 to 317. [ 83 ] CH5.

BASEBALL Chelsea High’s Baseball team, although trying to get off to a quick start, in order to display a line showing in the new Greater Boston League, was handicapped by the poor playing condi¬ tions of the baseball field and inclement weather. The greater part of the practice sessions were held in the gymnasium. This year’s team is being coached by A1 Pierotti, former big leaguer, who is showing the prospects the finer points of the game and giving very valuable and helpful tips. William J. Kennelly, the wonderful basketball mentor and head coach of sports, lends a helping hand. WINTHROP 12—CHELSEA 4 Chelsea played its first game with Winthrop High School as its guest. Right at the beginning of the game the Winthrop batters started to hit and found little trouble in hitting Brown’s offerings. After five innings of twirling, Sherman took up the burden and pitched well after getting off to a shaky start. The above score could have been held down but the loose fielding of the home club led to a worse disaster. Spud Murphy, Chelsea’s short stop collected two of the home team’s four hits. One of his wallops went for three bases. QUINCY 5—CHELSEA 3 Chelsea travelled to Merry Mount Park, Quincy, to take on Coach George Clarke’s team, Quincy High School. Conny Daley, Sophomore find, proved to be worthy when he held the home team to five hits. In spite of this, weak fielding and untimely hitting led to his downfall. Once again Chelsea’s ball tossers showed lack of practice when they made ten errors. Hyman Swartz banged the Quincy pitchers for three singles and led Chelsea at bat. MEDFORD 6—CHELSEA 3 Chelsea came back home to play its first league encounter with Medford High School at Carter Park. Bill Sherman received the assignment and made a good job of it. But the poor field¬ ing of the home team players, who had nine errors chalked up against them, led to their downfall. Joe Manzo, Medford pitcher, connected for a home run in the third inning which was said to be the longest hit by a schoolboy player. The Chelsea players hit the ball hard but luck wasn’t with them for it seemed that a Medford player would be in the right place to catch it. Sol Nechtem was the leading batter for Chelsea against Medford. EVERETT 6—CHELSEA 2 Chelsea found themselves stacked up against a formidable Everett High School nine who h ' ad won two of their three starts at the Everett Stadium. Ed Brown, who was successful in beating them last year, received the nod from Coach Pierotti to try to duplicate the feat. Starting off in a fine manner, Chelsea held their own until the seventh inning when the Everett batters got to Brown’s delivery and crossed the plate for three runs. The team for the first time clicked and gave very good support except for a few incidents. Hyman Swartz, center fielder, clouted a home run to give Chelsea a 2 to 1 lead in the third inning. The members of the team are: Captain Frank Saladino, Arigo LaTanzi, George Mardirosian, Hyman Swartz, Alfred Chapman, William Murphy, John Molloy, Edward Brown, Sarkis Bedrosian, Thomas Lake, William Sherman, Isadore Stavisky, Walter Savoisik, Martin Davidson, Cornelius Dailey, Soloman Nechtem, Bernard Zelicovitz, Fred Lake, Elin Feinberg, Andrew Kornechuck, John Cecere, Anthony O’Farley, Edward Morley, Thomas Savosik, Roger Fenwick, Edward Myserick, Edward Mahoney, and Louis Iarievillo. Starting from W. Savoisik and down the players will be back for another year or two. REVERE 9—CHELSEA 8 Chelsea once again tried to get in the win column at the expense of Revere High School at Carter Park, but at the end of the game found themselves the short enders of a 9 to 8 score. Connie Daley, starting his second game, found the going a little harder and was hit freely and finally gave way to Bill Sherman at the end of the seventh inning. The visitors scored their runs in the second, fourth, sixth, and seventh innings, and drew up a total of nine. Chelsea rallied twice in the fourth and seventh to score three and four runs respectively. Lehman, Revere’s catcher, got hold of one of Daley’s deliveries and knocked out a home run to score two men before him. Chelsea’s hopes of tying the game in the eighth were spoiled when Walter Savosik smashed out a terrific homer only to be caught at the plate. Chelsea made another vital attempt in the ninth but failed to score. Sol Nechtem led Chelsea at bat with three singles. SOMERVILLE 17—CHELSEA 2 Chelsea High’s Baseball team was again unsuccessful in getting into the win column when a powerful Somerville High School team smashed out an easy 17 to 2 victorv at Carter Park. Somerville blasted Brown, Chelsea’s starting pitcher, from the mound in two innings. Molloy took up the burden and found it easy going until a few bunched hits, with some errors thrown in, led to his downfall. T. Savosk relieved him in the seventh inning. MacRae, Somerville’s pitcher, found it easy sliding and had little trouble in checking Chelsea. MacRae and his battery mate hit homers to toss in for good luck. Steve Staviskv, Chelsea’s first sacker, led the home team at bat with three out of four.

GLEE CLUB By SELMA FISHER T HE Senior Glee Club consists of thirty-four students selected by Mr. Cleary after individual tryouts. The members of the club were selected after showing their ability to read music, as well as being musically inclined. This year thirty-four students passed the tests given and among them, Mr. Cleary has discovered many finds. During the school year rehearsals were held once a week, usually on Monday, but with the nearing of the graduation exercises, they have been held several times a week. The purpose of this club is to stimulate more interest in the study of music and to further the musical education of those who are so inclined. This year the students did not sing at graduation but it was carried on only by the Glee Club. The first song was “Rimpianti (serenade) by Enrico Toselli. This song was sung at the graduation exercises by Nina Dobrenchuk. A great deal of our time was spent singing the graduation songs which were “Home on the Range’’ by Gieror-Reigger and “The Long Day Closes” by Sir Arthur Sullivan. [ 88 ] Edward Brown Arigo LaTanzi William Sherman VARSITY CLUB HpHE Varsity Club membership which is limited to those athletes who have won a “C” in one or more of the three major sports, baseball, football, and basketball, was organized Monday November 6, 1933, when the eligibles gathered at the close of school in Room 110 and elected officers. William J. Kennelly, head coach of sports, sponsor of the organization, whose main purpose is to promote more interest in school athletics and create a greater school spirit, will serve as faculty director. At the first meeting Rico LaTanzi was elected President; Isadore Stavisky was chosen Vice- President; Frank Saladino was made Treasurer and Edward Brown, Secretary. During the course of the year the Club held monthly meetings at which they took in new members. The first social event was a dance, held in the gymnasium in the form of a pep rally for the football team on its annual Thanksgiving game with Everett High School. The proceeds of the dance were used for the purchasing of pins. The pin which was selected and bought will serve as a model for the coming years. The members, besides competing in sports, do a great deal of work at the games that they do not take part in, such as taking care of visiting teams, scoring, handling the tickets and keeping order. The Charter members are LaTanzi, Stavisky, Saladino, Brown, Lake, Molloy, Hanson, Marderosian, Saltzman, Raisman, Sherman, and director Kennelly. [ 89 ] Dorothea Eburne Philip Kuperberg Abraham Kaminsky George Morrison CHEMISTRY CLUB Bv DOROTHEA EBURNE pHE high school Chemistry Club was formed under the direction of Mr. Mockler. The following officers were elected: Philip Kuperberg, President; Abraham Kaminsky, Vice- President; George Morrison, Treasurer; Dorothea Eburne, Secretary. There are twenty-eight members in the club and each member was given a membership card. There is a weekly levy which will be used to defray the graduation expenses at the end of the year. At each meeting an experiment is performed or a talk is given by one of the members. The object of the club is to promote the interest of chemistry among members and others. Through the courtesy of the General Electric Company the club is able to get moving pictures which are sometimes shown in Chemistry and Physics classes. The following pictures will be shown throughout the year: The Busybody, Bituminous, island of Sugar, The Land of Cotton, Queen of the Waves, Conquest of Cascades, The Flectric Ship, King of the Rails, The World of Paper, The Benefactor, The Sugar Trail, Woolen Yarn, Our Daily Bread, and Anthracite. The club has been in existence for five years and records show that each year has been more successful than the previous one. It is our aim to leave the club better than we found it.

President . First Vice President . Second Vice President v . . Secretary . Treasurer . Chairman of the Activity Committee By ELIZABETH FREEDMAN T HE French Club, organized in 1930 by Miss Mitchell, has developed into one of the most interesting, instructive, entertaining, as well as beneficial organizations of its kind in the school. The popularity of the club is proved by the fact that its active membership list has materially increased each year. Le Cercle Frangais was established to supplement the work of the class room. By removing restraint, coercion, routine drill, and class room tactics, it encourages free oral French expression. It gives the pupils an opportunity to enjoy French, to sing French songs, to listen to French instrumental music, to tell French jokes and anecdotes, to recite poems and to enact dialogue, saynetes, and plays in French. It creates a French atmosphere where pupils get their information concerning France, her people, her literature, her music and her art, sugar coated. For example, club members deeply treasure the memory of their opportunity of hearing Madame Jane Clauzel, Secretary of the Salon Franfais, give in her native tongue a talk on life in France. Each club member feels his personal responsibility for the club’s success and so “does his bit” to the very best of his ability. Senior club members are merely severing their membership—not their interest, nor their pride, nor their loyalty that will live always. Vive Le Cercle Franyais. [ 91 ] Esther Berson George Gens Beatrice Lerner Leonard Fleischer GERMAN CLUB By ESTHER BERSON T HE German Club with fifty members, organized under the supervision of Miss Shaw and Miss Severance, meets every third week in room 224. The officers are: President, George Gens; Vice-President, Bernard Siskind; Secretary, Esther Berson; Treasurer, Leonard Fleischer; Song- leader, Irwin Kaufman; Chairman of Activities, Beatrice Lerner, assisted by Jeannette Greenburgh and Frances Rood. At the meetings short plays, monologues, and dialogues are given. Two of the more important plays given were: Der Dritte with Bertha Bluestein, Ellen Korim, Sylvia Hankin, and Leonard Fleischer taking parts; and Der Strauss , with Frances Rood, Jeannette Greenburgh, and Cecelia Kamens. This year the club has had the honor of having two outside speakers, Mr. Shultz, who spoke on Richard Wagner, and Mr. Margolis, who spoke on Schiller, Lessing, and Goethe. Both of these men gave interesting talks. Through the influence of the Chelsea High School Deutscher Verein , the German League of Greater Boston has been organized to which league nine schools of surrounding cities belong. They are: Revere, Everett, Girls’ Latin, Dorchester, Winthrop, Brighton, Medford, Melrose, and Chelsea. The purpose of this league is to establish a closer relationship between German students of different schools, and to organize clubs in those schools which have none. The league held a conclave at Winthrop High School on Friday, May 25, 1934. To this meeting all students of German were invited and each group furnished one number on the program. Five meetings were held during the year, two in Chelsea, one in Dorchester, one in Brighton, and one in Winthrop. [ 92 ] PI T ITHE BEACONr r-71 C| Murielle Moon Janet Braverman Israel Schwartz Bertha Parlow SPANISH CLUB By MURIELLE MOON A T the earnest request of a large number of students studying Spanish to form a Spanish Club, a meeting was called last November in room 116 for the purpose of organizing under the direction of Miss Josephine Burke. Greater enthusiasm and a more active interest individually has characterized the club this year. Each one has taken upon himself a personal responsibility for contributing something. The sophomores especially, although they have studied the language a shorter time, have been very loyal in their support of and participation in the work of the club. All this has given a sense of freedom in the use of the language and promoted a wholesome social spirit. The officers of the club, ranking high in their studies were as follows: Janet Braverman, President; Israel Schwartz, Vice-President; Bertha Parlow, Treasurer; Murielle Moon, Secretary. These officers were a great help in the way they handled the affairs of the club and gave suggestions to the younger members. Meetings were held twice a month the first and third Mondays. All members of the senior class were eligible as were those obtaining an average of A and B in Spanish I and II. It was voted to pay five cents at each meeting, the proceeds to go toward buying club pins. After the business part of the meetings a program, prepared by a special committee, took place in the music room. We discovered we had some very fine talent among our members. For instance Marion Fagan and Florence Marshall have entertained us with their dancing, the Contrino sisters with the violin and piano, Dorothy Cutler with her songs, Stanley Kektic with the violin. Those taking part in the plays also did very fine work. This year Miss Burke sent to Washington for literature pertaining to Pan American Day, April 14. As this came during the April vacation our program was carried out at the club meeting, April 9. At a meeting held in Washington in 1930 by the Ambassadors and ministers of the American republics, April 14 was selected as the day on which, each year, there should take place some activity or program representative of the many efforts to understand the national ideals of the American republics. With the interest taken this year we are looking forward to even better things next year and we hope to be able to purchase flags of the twenty-one republics where Spanish is spoken. [ 93 ] Sam Shachter Charles Colson Thomas Chin THE DEBATING CLUBS A LTHOUGH a rough sea faced Chelsea High’s ship of debate,.confidence and masterly piloting brought the ship safely through the season. The masterly pilot was coach .M. E. Stewart; his assisting officers were President, Charles Colson; Vice-President, Sam Shachter, and Secretary, Thomas Chin. On January 16, 1934, the Jackson Debating Club of Lynn invaded Chelsea, winning by the narrow-margined decision of two to one. In this contest Charles Colson, Thomas Chin, and Nathan Gopen defended the affirmative for Chelsea on the question, “Resolved: That the United States should adopt the essential features of the British system of radio control and operation.’’ Honorable mention was awarded Thomas Chin for his excellent speaking. Before an audience of the entire student body in Chelsea High’s auditorium, on January 26, 1934, a much improved Chelsea team met and defeated the impressive debaters from Revere with the unanimous decision of the judges, on the Radio question. Charles Colson was outstandingly entertaining, while Nathan Gopen won the acclaim of the judges for his remarkable eloquence. Thomas Chin was the third team-mate. Swampscott received Chelsea’s team on February 6, 1934, and won the judges’ decision over the latter after vigorous opposition had been given by Colson, Chin, and Gopen of Chelsea. The question was similar to the ones previously debated. In every one of the above three debates, the rebuttalist for Chelsea was Charles Colson, a versatile and dependable speaker. The Sophomore Debating Club completed their long debating practice on May 18, 1934, by contesting with the Senior debaters on the question “Resolved: That the United States should permanently adopt the basic principles of the N.I.R.A.’’ Arthur Burstein, Colson, and Chin defended the senior affirmative. Mention must be made of the Sophomore Club’s numerous practice debates under their untiring coach, Miss Banigan. Its membership includes: President, Albert Sandler; Vice-President, Hyman Sweet; Max Blyer, Gerard Lally, Thomas Hederson, Ellsworth Zintz, Diana Wolpe, Melvin Cohen, William Gerber, Haige Harotunian, Mildred Goldstein, Josephine Gross, Eleanor Myers, Harold Barden, Sydney Glazier, Charlotte Shankman. [ 94 ] Samuel Linden Eugene Hochman Esther Mack MATHEMATICS CLUB By ESTHER MACK A T the earnest request of the students, the Chelsea Senior High School Mathematics Club was formed for the fourth consecutive year in January, 1934. The club was under the very capable direction of Mr. Earl G. Boyd. The club has been conducted through a most successful season by the officers: Eugene Hochman, President; Sam Linden, Vice-President; and Esther Mack, Secretary. The club was primarily for seniors, and for those seniors who showed particular interest and marked aptitude for mathematics. The purpose of the club was, therefore, to develop the interest of these students and to introduce them to certain branches of mathematics which were not included in the regular course. This year the club had a particularly successful year. The members were all very much inter¬ ested and co-operated in making the meetings most successful. The problems, illustrations, and talks were many and varied. Often they aroused much discussion. The tri-section of an angle, the early number systems, the Pythagorian theorem, the origin and peculiarity of geometric definitions, Mascheroni’s geometry, the relation between geometry and algebra, are only a few of the outstanding topics which have been discussed this year. This club aided the students greatly, and added zest to their daily studies in mathematics. The students greatly appreciated the club and Mr. Boyd’s direction. They endeavored to show their appreciation by good attendance, willingness to do outside work, and by splendid co¬ operation. It is hoped that the Mathematics Club will become an established institution of the Chelsea Senior High School, and that future students will derive as much pleasure and knowledge from the Mathematics Club as the Senior members of this year’s club. The members sever their connection with this club with deep regret but with fond memories of delightful afternoons spent discussing interesting and intriguing phases of mathematics. ra RS I THE BEACON K 7f Cl Bernard Holzman Bernard Siskind Jacob Steinberg SCIENCE CLUB By JACOB STEINBERG c TT 7TTH the help of Mr. Staples, head of the Science Department, it was again possible to organize the Science Club this year. The purpose of this organization is to bring out the importance of science and the amazing part it plays in our everyday lives. As the result of the election of officers at the first meeting, the following were ' chosen: Bernard Siskind, President; Bernard Holzman, Vice-President; and Jacob Steinberg, Secretary. In addition a committee consisting of Benjamin Leader and Myer Halpern, seniors, and Samuel Spector, a junior, were chosen to arrange suitable programs for the future meetings. The programs are very interesting and educational to the members. They consist of lectures, experiments, and discussions of the various scientific topics and problems of the day. Since similar organizations have existed during by-gone years, it is the aim of our present-day members to establish their organization so that it will last through the ensuing years. [ 96 ] William Keenan Selby Hawkins Gertrude Mugford Doris Whalen HISTORY CLUB By DORIS WHALEN JN December, a new club, the History Club was formed in the high school under the direction of Mr. Edward J. Hubner. The club consists of juniors and seniors studying history. Pupils having a particular interest in history have joined this club for the benefit of the helpful talks given during the club period. At the first meeting the following club officers were elected: President, Selby Hawkins; Vice President, Gertrude Mugford; Secretary, Doris Whalen; Treasurer, William Keenan. The executive board is made up of the following: Stanley Kectic, John Martin, Pearl Szymczak. The meetings are held the second and fourth Thursdays of the month. After a brief business meeting the program is made up of instructive historical readings and entertainment. Interesting radio talks and historical topics have been given followed by refreshing entertainment sponsored by some of the most talented students at school. The purpose of this club is to increase the members’ knowledge of history that is past and current. It also tends to stimulate interest in subjects of an historical nature that the time in the regular school curriculum does not allow. The members have taken a sincere interest in the club and we hope to continue with this work next year. [ 97 ] c 3 rt E rt — Q 43 w 2 CP rt — c 1c H Ph a • rt C 3 cj C D-i 2 « a u.

Cleary, upon its appearance at the Senior High School Graduation Exercises. In this group of talented young musicians there are twenty-two first violins, nineteen second violins, nine clarinets, six trumpets, four saxaphones, three Eb horns, one trombone, one flute, one viola, and five piano players. This year a Special Orchestra was formed by a selected group of players. This organization played for the Americanization School Graduation Exercises, the Evening School Graduation Exercises, and the Senior Play. It was highly complimented for its splendid performances. The members of the orchestra are: First Violins Stanley Kectic Saul Silberman Samuel Melman Morey Shapiro Ida Wishnivetsky Ruth Glazer Lillian Siegal Milford Kniaz Allan Michelson Philip Weisberg Julius Weisberg Molly Golder William Goldberg Ruth Sheinfeld Muriel Berman Beatrice Rosenfeld Sara Swartz John Zebniak Stanley Zdanowicz Harry Barnard Irving Badin Isaac Dermer Second Violins Myer Bernstein Israel Levine David Levine Hyman Sweet Benjamin Baron George Takessian Genevieve Plotnick Sylvia Berson Ethel Smolker Helen Matel Mary Contrino Sylvia Slotnick William Czyzenski Edward Herman Eli Olem Thaddeus Lawnicki Sylvia Horowitz Celia Wigetman Tina Tolchinsky Viola Myer Bernstein First Clarinets George Freedman Samuel Rubin Frank Kectic Stanley Roszco Second Clarinets Sam Bailen Benjamin Silverstein William Nadworny Romuald Monkiewicz Bernard Stoller Trumpets Paul Matrinko Harold Wigetman William Levy Earnest Huntoon Nathan Gopen Isadore Croll Saxaphones Hj man Granoff Irving Shauffer Melvin Binder Irving Rosenberg Flute Abraham Kaminsky Trombone Herman Karll Piano Dorothea Eburne Shirley Berson Leonard Davis Helen Chick Sarah Sheinfeld [ 99 ] 2 o l— rt I O w U sT c e M « J E 0O T3 l- c cS .5 G L t- w U C 5 PQ £ „ u rG G c 3 (1 C J E u PS Wj-G- l_ u. o £ 4 CQ o .. - G i rt . u bfi U3 c« £ g o-£ c t: • - .S y ai (J Q Ih - a £ uffl 5 c . • fli G3 u JJJ -S 3 JS „ C D .

THE THE BAND By SHIRLEY BERSON r pHE Band has finished one of the most successful seasons that a Chelsea High School Band ■ - ever had. It has played at the Worcester-North-Chelsea and Chelsea-Everett games and for The Charles Mace benefit and Minstrel Show at the Chelsea High School. Among its numerous and varied pieces are Wagon Wheels from Ziegfeld’s Follies, and Stand Up and Cheer adapted from a Columbia University song of the same name. These songs were introduced this year to the Chelsea High School by Mr. Cleary, the director of the band. Victoria Morrissett, Bernard Klevansky, and Vincent Decain proved to be capable Band leaders. The members of the Band are: Trumpets Nathan Gopen Edward Herman William Levy Paul Matrinko Harold Wigetman Trombone Herman Karll Mellaphones Leonard Kornetsky Theadore Stern i Anthony Zaitz Bass Drum Bernard Glassman Milton Plotnick (Carrier) Clarinets Sam Bailen Abraham Kaminsky Ronald Mankewicz William Nadworny Samuel Rubin Benjamin Silverstein We hope that the Band will continue its year.

QUARTERLY BEACON npHE Quarterly Beacon , the Chelsea High School magazine, is issued three times a year. This year the magazine was sold by subscription, fifty cents for the three issues and three supple¬ ments instead of twenty-five cents a copy as it has been in former years. These supplements contain school news, personals, and humor, and material that really belongs in a newspaper, not in a magazine. The magazine itself contained only literary material, that is, stories, essays, and poems. The Beacon is under the general supervision of Mr. M. E. Stewart, head of the English department. The preparation of the material of the first issue was supervised by Miss Rigney, the second issue by Miss Kuhn, and the third issue by Miss Bligh. Miss Pauline M. Kohlrausch has charge of all the art work. The printing is done in the High School printing room, under the direction of Floyd G. Folsom, teacher of printing. The improved quality of the Quarterly Beacon is due to the co-operation of the printing department, the art department, and the teachers of English. Student interest in this publication is very active, as is shown by the fact that there is always much more material than can be used in each issue.

TRAFFIC SQUAD T HE traffic squad was once again organized under the direction of Mr. Webber in September, 1933- The purpose of the organization of this group is to maintain order throughout the school building and to assist in the proper filing of the students. This year another duty was added to the long list which the ‘ ‘cops” have faithfully executed in previous years. A bell was rung two minutes before the filing of classes and at that time each member of the squad went on duty at the place assigned to him. This assignment was well carried out and greatly aided the proper filing of the students. The school authorities and members of the faculty greatly appreciate their services to the school and fully realize the asset these boys are who have been selected because of their favorable scholastic records and their fine deportment. The faculty adviser this year was Mr. Earle S. Anderson, who was capably assisted by Captain Max Garber. Receiving the full co-operation of each member of the squad these leaders accomplished a great deal. It is almost needless to mention that without the co-operation of the student body their success would have been in a large measure lessened. This year our traffic squad performed their duties faithfully and never once was a “cop” confronted with the unpleasant task of making an unfavorable report at the office about anyone. The following seniors assist Captain Garber—Norman A’Hearn, Ross Rosenthal, Abraham Rubinstein, Charles Colson, George Gens, Sidney Smith, George Carvin, Max Krakofsky, Dante Yanetti, and Theodore Rosenthal. The Juniors on the traffic squad are Charles Hovasse, Lester Smith, John Donovan, Bernard Siskind, and Sidney Attenberg.
