Francis received his early education on the Cape. He was graduated from Bridgewater State Teachers ' College and also from Boston University. From the latter he received his degree, Master of Education, and at present is working for his Doctor ' s Degree in Education. His first position as a teacher was at a high school in Bourne, Massachusetts, twenty-six years ago. There he was also the principal, but at the close of the year he accepted a position as principal of a grammar school district at West Fitchburg, Massachusetts. Following his four-year stay there, he became Supervising Principal of a school district in Everett. During the next eight years, he was superintendent of the Methuen Schools. In 1926 the Chelsea School Department suc¬ ceeded in inducing Mr. Francis to join it as a Superintendent of the Chelsea Schools. Robert R. Webber was born in East Vassal- boro, Maine, on January 15, 1888. There he attended a grammar school and was graduated from Oak Grove Seminary in 1904. He later returned to the Seminary to take a College Preparatory Course. In 1909 he matriculated at Colby College where he received a Bachelor of Science degree. During the next few years he was principal of several Maine schools. Mr. Webber was also a mathematics teacher at Bangor High School. Before coming to the Chelsea Senior High School Mr. Webber was principal of York High School in Maine and Saugus High School in Saugus, Massa¬ chusetts. He has done advanced work at the Harvard Graduate School of Education and received a Master of Education Degree in 1931. ROBERT R. WEBBER, Principal Page Six SUMNER M. DAVIS Bates, B.S.

The choice of these boys and girls is made by popular vote. It is the duty of this Council to handle all business matters pertaining to the Senior Class. The decisions made by the Council concerning graduation pictures and rings proved to be guite satisfactory to the Seniors. Through the efforts of the Council members combined with the advice and co-operation of their advisers, Miss Marguerite A. Bligh and Mr. Robert W. O ' Brien, the Senior Prom was a great success. The dates of the Senior Reception and Class Day were set by the Council, also such matters as the class day speakers and program were taken care of by this body. For the first time in years the Council has undertaken to run a sport dance. This dance took place May 14 in the school gym. It was both a social and financial success. Under the able guidance of the class advisers, together with the co-operation of the Senior Class, the Student Council has proven to be a complete success Page Twenty-five HUriHff BIEACOML ★ turm: nmr .1LL LiL PHILIP AARON “Phil March 26, 1919 School books Phil doth consult, but give him his. car for best results.

It ' s lean and hungry-eyed, who have just received their well-earned diplomas (it ' s a sin to tell a lie, but it sounds nice) and are ready to get their first real taste of the world. Will we have stummick trouble? WHO ARE WE? We think we are the bestest, toughest class what am but don ' t think we have a case of swell head, because we really haven ' t. In fact, our heads are so small that hats are now out of style—there is nothing to cover. We are the class who believe it improper for girls as well as boys to indulge in drinking anything stronger than milk or good H 2 0, but a few of our tougher classmates such as two-gun Pretti, machine gun Robinson, spider Marzakis and killer McCarthy drink coffee. Shame on you coffee drinkers. We also believe it wrong for girls to smoke. The boys may smoke providing they don ' t smoke in the school basement. We are against Petting to a certain degree. Shakespeare claims that a fellow named Julius Caesar (whoever heard of him?) was ambitious, but good old Julie had nothing on our rambunctious class. Get a load of these ambitions and see for yourself: To be a playboy—nice work if you can get it. To be an accountant—nigger pool bookie. To be an old maid and fool Ma. To try to fly in an automobile—Hy Canter. To mark the teachers—revenge is sweet. To egual Mrs. Dionne ' s feat. To spend five minutes with Robert Taylor. To become a dictator—Duce!—Morris Humpfrey Karll. There was er no popular ambition but a few went in for dancing, singing, readi ng, etc. The more serious members of our class such as Henry Wolfson, Martin Hurvitz, and Walter Karacek, intend to be doctor, lawyer, and chemist respectively. Before I forget I ' d like to announce that there will be quite a few who will be sixteen years old or thereabouts at graduation. They include Leona Cohen, Mary Horgan, Phyllis Smith. We also have twinsies, Eunice and Beatrice Namyet, who will also be sixteen. There are also a few brighties who will be twenty years old at graduation— if they graduate, but due to the inclement weather and also to the many threatening letters that I ' ve received it is utterly impossible for me to mention their names—the old meanies. The average age for the smarties is seventeen, and for the dummies, eighteen. Now we come to the subject of height. Now let me see. Sprouting from the ground at six feet three inches is our own little Frank Checicki—man-moving mountain. Then down the line comes Ken Skaropowski, who is no string bean either. If you ' ve never had the queer sensation of looking up at skyscrapers, stand between Ken and Frank. It ' s the same thing. Be careful, you ' ll get dizzy. Representing the girls we have such lanks as Lil Marmer, Ruth Fishman, Helen Kalwar, and Phyllis Jones. To our sweet little Miss Bligh goes top honors of being the most likeable woman teacher due naturally to her fairness and sense of humor. For top male honors Mr. Edwin J. Mockler, chemistry teacher, was given the nod. Three-fourths of the girls voted for him. Oh! Mr. Mockler. When my noble classmates were asked which period they liked best, lunch period was heard throughout the school. Study period ran a close second but a few life savers—God bless them—voted for Chemistry, English, French, and Spanish. One boy voted for Problems. Can you imagine that? He was buried in the morning with full military honors. To Lil Dimples Reimer goes top honors for being the best looking girl—the sweet thing. Representing the boys is that dark, handsome, silent type, Joe Farraro. For personality Helen Stanton leads the flock. Hmm. Look at that smile. George (Continued on Page One Hundred Six) Page Seventy-seven ★ Tk • me -HTTP nur lRUTHE BEACONk ifill III mnmi m CLASS HISTORY O N a sunny September morning in the year 1934, we, the senior Class of 1937, set out upon the happiest adventure of our lives. We entered Chelsea Senior High School as sophomores. I say adventure because we were to be on our own, to choose the courses that would lead us to our various careers. You know why I say the happiest adventure. Although, as sophomores, we had no social affairs of our own, nevertheless we supported the football team and the basketball team which, that year, won the Tech Tournament Championship. Thus our first year at Chelsea High School passed away. We returned the next year as juniors and took our spot in the limelight of activity. The first important affair was the election of class officers, and when all the votes had been counted, Thomas Brown was class president; Martin Donahue, vice-president; James Donahue, treasurer; and the ever-popular Helen Stanton, secretary. We, indeed, had chosen our class officers well. In the meantime the football season started and the junior class was well represented by a goodly number of players on the team as was also the case with the basketball team which that year too participated in the Tech Tournament only to be eliminated in the semi-finals. The track team made its debut under the leadership of Binn Berinson and showed up well against the stiffest competition in the state. Then in the cold and wintry month of January came the long awaited Junior Prom, and a gala affair it was. The Prom was successful both socially and financially, and a good time was had by all. There was no frolic because the student council voted for a trip to Nantasket instead. A large crowd went to this outing and every last one thoroughly enjoyed himself. Aside from the social and athletic activities this junior class was active in the Debating Club, the Spanish Club, the Orchestra, the Band, the French Club, the German Club, etc. We were for!unate in having Miss Burchell come all the way from England as an exchange teacher, to teach here, for she was not only a fine teacher but also a charming and magnetic personality. These are only some of the things that made our junior year a happy as well as instructive one. The summer months passed away all too guickly, and September and the last year of senior high school was upon us. The first few weeks were spent in preparing our courses for the year to come. Then came our first activity as seniors, the election of class officers. This was not as one-sided as the junior class election, although practically the same candidates were seeking office. Morris Karll emerged victor from the presidential election, the Donahue brothers, Martin and James, were elected vice-president and treasurer respectively, both by large majorities, while Eleanor Hahesy was elected secretary. When the smoke of the electional battle had cleared away, the interest of the class was centered on the fast approaching Senior Prom. Girls were talking about permanent waves and evening gowns, while the boys were worrying about the financial aspect. Then on the eighteenth day of December there gathered in the school gymnasium, one of the largest crowds to attend the prom in recent years. The prom was a social and financial success, of which the Class of ' 37 may well be proud. The next important step in the history of the Class of ' 37 was the Senior Play. After many weeks of rehearsing under the able direction of Miss Bligh, the play was given. A large audience acclaimed it as one of the best plays ever produced in the high school. This was a great tribute to a good cast and truly, a fine coach. And now on this class day with the Senior Reception and Graduation only a few days away, our happy adventure means the end all too guickly. Let our last official act as a body of seniors, be, to thank Mr. Webber and the members of the faculty for making our three years at Chelsea Senior High School the happy ones they were. And, thereas, our life as seniors passes away. -- — -.

The stars, the moon, the sun and the sky, All have omens that never will lie. I ' ve read the leaves in the Sybil ' s cave, That foretell the perils that you will brave. What Calchas, the prophet, to me has predicted In the following prophecy will be depicted. The oracle of Apollo and the crystal ball With their divine aid have answered my call. I ' ve consulted all these prophets of fate, And here is what they prognosticate. BEN GOLDENBERG By the bumps on his head I ' ll attempt to foretell The future of Ben, which the stars compel. I see by these that Benny will meet His future as a dashing Spanish Athlete. ROSALIE COOPER Rosalie is one who likes to truck; This eventually will bring her luck, For she will travel across the land Dancing for a famous jazz band. MARY ROZUCK She has been here a very short while, And she ' s shown us that she has style. She ' ll take up her work with extreme optimism, For her career will be in journalism. KENNETH KORNETSKY Cigars ' ' Kornetsky it is easy to tell Will use his voice in order to yell, For he ' ll employ his natural bent As a barker in a side-show tent. WINIFRED LYONS The fates of Winnie all speak well, And what they told me, now I ' ll tell. She ' ll be the tops in her chosen trade For she ' ll mind our children as a nursery maid. LESLIE HABELOW Although he is roly poly a bit, Habby is famous for his good wit. He will never wear a sad frown, For Habby will be a circus clown. PHYLLIS SMITH and LILLIAN LINDEN Phyllis and Lil are inseparable friends, They ' ll be with each other till the world ends. As dear old spinsters they will live together, Petting cats, knitting, and discussing the weather. SUMNER COTTON Summy at correcting others is efficient, And at figures he is guite proficient. He ' ll go to his work with full-hearted zest For he ' ll judge the figures in a beauty contest. ELEANOR HAHESY Of Eleanor, the girl so charming, I ' ve learned a fate that is guite alarming. She ' ll devote herself to stenography, And spend her life on her boss ' s knee . MARTIN and JAMES DONAHUE When things are quiet and there isn ' t a sound, Take the trouble to look around.

Peter Romantum, Sidney Seigal, Alfred Mekelburg, Willis De Lano. O NE standard of the success of any school activity is the amount of pupil participation involved in that production. In order to produce the Senior Play we needed not only the ability and acting of the cast to make it a success, but also the aid of almost four hundred students and teachers who were generous with their time and efforts to make the play an outstanding success. The earnest, conscientious work of the Senior Play Committee, which consisted of members representing the various departments of the school, added much to the success of the play. The members of the committee were: Thomas Brown, Producer; Florence; Fitzpatrick, Art Producer; Alfred Mekelburg, Stage Manager; Mary Flaherty, Publicity; Charles Burns, Publicity; Ruth Freedman, Victor Niedzwiecki, Prompters; Sidney Siegel, Music; Willis De Lano, Peter Romantum, Scenery; and Eleanor Hahesy. For the first time in the history of the school we had a preview of the Senior Play to arouse the interest of the students so that they would be eager to see the entire production. Florence Fitzpatrick gave a short summary of the work involved with the Art Department; Egidio Pantano, the basketball captain, gave a short pep talk to encourage the students to support this play as they had the athletic activities; Eleanor Hahesy, the Class Secretary, gave a talk acknowledging thanks to those who had taken such an interest in the production. The Senior Class owes a debt of gratitude to the coach, Miss Marguerite A. Bligh, who spent a great deal of time and effort while coaching this play. Her untiring help and encouragement aided the players to do the best of their ability. Our Senior Play would not have been complete without the ushers to see that we were taken care of properly and the candy girls to supply you with the sweets during the play. This year the candy girls who were under the capable direction of Mrs. Martha Malone, were dressed in beautiful evening gowns and served all their customers with a smile. They were not outdone by the ushers who were under the direction of Mr. Robert O ' Brien and put the finishing touches to a very enjoyable evening.

T HE Chelsea High School ' s annual senior play, I ' ll Leave It To You, written by Noel Coward, famous playwright and showman, was produced on Thursday evening, March 4, 1937, under the able direction of Miss Marguerite A. Bligh. The entire setting of the play was laid in the country home of Mrs. Dermott at Devon, England. Mrs. Dermott (Madeline Sheehan) is a widow who has been left destitute at the death of her husband. Madeline ' s interpretation was that of a sweet, gentle, helpless creature who is accustomed to being babied by her children. Mrs. Dermott ' s brother, Daniel Davis (Cornelius Duggan), came to his sister ' s aid and promised his entire fortune to the one who did most for himself and the family name. Many praises are due Connie for his splendid work in portraying the fabulously wealthy, bragging uncle who did lots and lots of things in South America. Little tricks of his own added to the hiarlity of his part. Oliver (Kenneth Skorapowski), the eldest, rose from an ordinary mechanic to assistant manager in his establishment. Kenneth was just the type to play the athletic, energetic, ambitious Oliver. Evangeline (Frances Di Pietro) succeeded in the literary world as a great authoress. Frances certainly played her part naturally with constant bickering with her brothers and sisters. Sylvia, the leading lady and Uncle Dan ' s favorite, played by Ethel Blaisdell, who arranged flowers in rummage sales rose to fame as a great movie actress. Ethel played this part, the most delightful in the play, in a way that showed real character in interpretation. Louis Burke, the leading man, played the part of Bobbie, a struggling young song writer who does gain recognition in his Rose of Passion Sweet. He furnished the love interest in the play with Faith Crombie. Rosalie Cooper played Joyce, the baby of the family, who ran away with all the pri zes and things at school. Imagine the startling climax when they discover the fortune, for which all except Sylvia worked so hard to get, was just a fake. Helen Stanton as the heartless flirt, Faith Crombie; Ruth Levathan, as her scheming mother, Mrs. Crombie; and Daniel Goldfarb, as Griggs, the butler, lent their charm and wit to the play.

Bligh, Miss Fanny L. Walton, Mr. Bertram G. Clarke, Mr. Sumner M. Davis, and the principal, Mr. Robert R. Webber. The gymnasium was gaily decorated with colorful streamers. The Twentieth Century Broadcasting Orchestra provided the tuneful melodies for the appreciative dancers. The girls were beautifully gowned, and lent color and variety to the gymnasium. The boys, in tuxedoes, looked guite suave and dapper. During an intermission ice cream and tonic were served by the refreshment committee. Between dances three group pictures were taken of the dancing couples. Due to a change of arrangements, the dance contest was cancelled and Miss Pearl Kaitz who was accompanied by the class president was presented with a box of chocolates. At the end of the evening the participants of the Prom acclaimed the affair a huge success.

T HE Junior Student Council of 1936-37 is composed of thirty members. Each home room chooses two. representatives, one boy and one girl. The four Class Officers are chosen by the entire Junior Class. This group composes the student body whose duty it is to conduct all affairs and straighten out any difficulties which may confront the Class. Mr. Webber, Principal of the Senior High School, instructed the student body at their first meeting, showing them the necessity for student co-operation. It was at their first meeting that the faculty advisers, Miss Deasy and Mr. Hubner, were chosen by the Student Council. During the course of the school year, the Council has conducted a Junior Prom which proved a successful affair, socially and financially. Their next enterprise is the Junior Class Outing to be held at Nantasket Beach, June 17, 1937.

Among the invited guests present were: Mr. and Mrs. Robert Webber, Mr. and Mrs. Edward J.

The gym was prettily decorated in appropriate spring colors of pink and blue with gay streamers hanging from each of the basket-ball hoops. The formal dress of the attending students combined with the gay music of the orchestra presented an attractive picture. Several specialty dances including a balloon and prize waltz, of which the four Class Officers served as judges, were greatly appreciated. In the latter part of the evening refreshments were served in the school cafeteria. A delightful time was had by everyone who attended. One of the most successful Junior Proms ever held at the high school. Page Eighty-six FOOTBALL Mr. Francis D. Garvey Coach of Football Kenneth Skorapowski Captain of Football R IDDLED heavily by graduation, a green, inexperienced eleven, boasting of only three veterans as a nucleus, played a difficult schedule with mediocre results. Chelsea opened its 1936 football season with Quincy, and found the visitors rock-ribbed with granite. Chelsea, egually as adamant: a scoreless tie. Chelsea at Worcester: Our club went visiting, but our hosts wouldn ' t even let us score. They took 15 points. Chelsea versus Montgomery, and it was all in favor of Brockton ' s colored flash. Montgomery 42; Chelsea 7. At least we scored. Chelsea at Gloucester: The navy could not have stopped Buddy Gal ante. Our boys rolled home 13-7. Medford at Chelsea: Here ' s one that upset the experts. A goose egg for Medford and a touchdown and conversion for our boys. One of the season ' s major upsets. Revere at Chelsea: This one, under the arc-lights, before a capacity house. All even— six for the guests, and six for the hosts. Winthrop at Chelsea: The boys from Fort Banks carried too many heavy guns. Winthrop all the way 13-6. Everett at Chelsea: Plenty of dark meat for Everett; Chelsea ' s turkey stuffed with a 21-0 dressing. Eight out of. eleven green, eight out of eleven inexperienced, but they all tried and fought their hardest. To them all, Captain Skarapowski has nothing but his sincerest thanks and appreciation for their valiant efforts. Coach Garvey and his able assistant coaches Pierotti and McCarthy will have them well-seasoned for 37. Watch them go under co-captains-elect Engbar and Cifra.

Kennelly Coach of Basketball Egidio Paniano Captain of Basketball O NCE again Chelsea High School ' s basketball team, led by Captain George Pantano, has successfully ended its basketball season despite the fact that there was not a single veteran present from the 1936 champion team. The surprising record of the season was thirteen games won and three lost. The boys who carried most of the burden on their shoulders were: George Pantano and Harry Kantrovitz left forwards, Morris Gershfield and George Freedman, right forwards, John McCarthy and Sam Rovner, centers, Tom Evans and John Martin, guards. Pantano led all his mates in the scoring honors while Gershfield was runner up. Evans and Martin played many good games and their added punch climaxed many victories. Letters were awarded to Pantano, Gershfield, McCarthy, Evans, Martin, Freedman, Kantrovitz and Rovner. The Chelsea seconds were not so successful as was the varsity for they closed their season with a record of 10 wins, 6 losses. Promising material for next year are Engbar, Sullivan, and Weinberg, besides the other veterans. Chelsea 28, Medford 22 Chelsea opened its official season against Medford and, with Pantano adding the needed punch, started off with a 28 to 22 victory over the black and white. Arlington 26 Chelsea 23 Trecking to the spacious Arlington gym, the Red Devils played a good brand of Basketball but the Arlington boys were not to be denied and took the closely contested battle with a 26-23 victory. Chelsea 25, Lynn English 16 The Red Devils came into the win column again as they pinned a 25-16 defeat on the classy Lynn English outfit. McCarthy and Captain Pantano shone for the locals. Cambridge Latin 19, Chelsea 11 Still playing on the home gym, the Red Devils lost their second game of the season to the sharpshooting Cambridge Latin five. With the Chelsea team evi¬ dently having an off night, it was easy for Cambridge outfit to roll up a 19-11 victory. Chelsea 27, Everett 18 Chelsea easily defeated its greatest football rival from across the highway to the tune of 27-18. The Red Devils had the lead from the very beginning and easily clinched the game. Chelsea 31, Quincy 25 Determined to make it two in a row, the Red Devils journeyed to Quincy and stopped the Granite City five with a 31-25 defeat. The Chelseans took the lead in the second half and were never behind again. Captain Pantano and Gershfield were the stars for the Chelsea outfit.

The Revere team played inspired ball and before anyone knew what happened, the score was 18-18. Martin, the left guard, pulled this game out of the fire with a foul shot to beat Revere 19-18. Chelsea 18, Brockton 15 The favored Brockton five journeyed to Chelsea, expecting to stop the Chelseans. Chelsea was not to be denied and beat the fighting Brockton outfit 18-15. Chelsea 31, Lowell 25 Chelsea ' s next opponents were the boys from Lowell. It was a bitterly fought contest from beginning to end, but Captain Pantano had a good night and led his team to victory 31-25. Chelsea 25, Everett 23 Wishing to avenge their former defeat, the Everett outfit gave the Red Devils a good fight, and the score was tied at the end of the game. Gershfield and Martin came through with foul shots to put the game on ice 25-23. Chelsea 25, Medford 22 The Red Devils travelled to Medford to make it seven victories in a row. This was another stirring battle, but Freedman and Kautravitz helped the Chelsea outfit with a few baskets to practically cinch the game. Chelsea 33, Revere 15 Chelsea made up for their former scare in Revere by taking the black and white into camp wi.h a 33-15 victory. The Revere team never had a chance and his victory made 8 in a row for the Red Devils. Lynn English 34, Chelsea 23 Lynn English broke Chelsea ' s eight win streak by pinning 34-23 defeat on them. Lynn had the lead all through the game and Chelsea never had a chance to overtake the Lynn five. Chelsea 19, Arlington 12 Not forgetting what Arlington had done to them at the former ' s gym, the Red Devils won this game with a 19-12 score. Pantano was the big gun for Chelsea while Corbett shone for Arlington. Chelsea 23, Quincy 15 Playing on their home gym, the Red Devils scalped Quincy 23-15. As Chelsea is always invincible on their home gym, the Quincy five was only another victim to the Chelsea sharpshooters. Chelsea 22, Brockton 19 Playing their last official game of the season, Chelsea trecked to Brockton in the hope of pinning a defeat on them. With Gershfield setting the pace for Chelsea in a closely fought contest, Chelsea came out on top 22-19. Natick 28, Chelsea 18 In the first game of the Tech tournament Chelsea thought it had an easy opponent in Natick. The Natick team, on the other hand, surprised all by piling up a big lead and finally conquered the Red Devils 28-18.

CHELSEA MEMORIAL STADIUM D URING the past two years the Chelsea Memorial Stadium has proven its worth to the community in general and to the Chelsea High School students in particular. In addition to the various pageants, graduations, etc., which have been staged within the stadium grounds since its dedication in September, 1935, the High School football team has played two full schedules, the Baseball team one full schedule and the Track Sguad has completed two entire programs on the excellent grounds afforded by our city. On any fair day it is a common sight to see from 100 to 150 boys putting to goo d use the nine acres comprising the stadium, and the eguipment contained therein. A regulation baseball diamond has been marked out, which is second to none in New England. A practice field has been graded in one section of the field to take care of rough work in the various sports. The under structure of the larger cement stand houses dressing guarters, 160 lockers, 2 shower pits, coaches and official ' s rooms, as well as a modern heating plant. Rest rooms of a suitable grade have been provided for spectators at the various matches. It is the intention of the stadium commission to have planted a beautiful row of trees just inside of the high stadium fence and also to top the fence with material to exclude any disturbing elements from the field. There is no doubt in the minds of all concerned but that this athletic plant, representing an outlay of close to $250,000 furnished partly through federal funds, has had some uplifting effect on our High School athletic teams and let us hope will continue to do so in the future. It is the duty, not only of this year ' s graduating class, to preserve as well as to put to good use our stadium, but also to see that they, as well as the under graduates, act in a manner suited to just such an imposing layout. After two decades of agitation for suitable grounds and seating facilities we finally have them; now, let us use them!

A certain part of the work was assigned to each member of the Executive Committee and the plan of the book was submitted to the Yearbook Committee. Ruth Fishman, secretary, assembled the Senior Section and prepared the copy of the rest of the book for publication. Charlotte Goldstein, with efficiency, took care of the photography. A record had to be kept of all students that had taken their pictures and also a list of those who had not. Certain individuals had to be seen about extra photographs which took up a great deal of time. The photography included all action pictures. Miss Goldstein acguainted the photographer with the schoolrooms. Mary Rozuck outlined the plans for the book which were under a constant state of revision through the year.

These pupils were chosen by Mr. Stewart with the approval of Mr. Webber and members of the faculty. They were chosen for their ability in writing and their interest in the work of the yearbook. It was the duty of the individual students to collect all material concerning the students of their respective homerooms for the senior section. It was the duty of the committee to write up all the articles concerning the activities of the entire school year, which were to go in the yearbook. The committee as a whole represented the entire senior class in voting upon printers, engravers, and all other necessary transactions. They made comments upon, and voted upon all plans of the book offered by the executive committee. Meetings of these representatives were called whenever necessary. The only officer necessary was a secretary, who was Ruth Fishman. Page Ninety-nine BEACON EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE Top Row. Mary Rozuck, Louis Burke, Ethel Blaisaeli, Bottom Row.

The Executive Staff consisted of six members, four seniors and two juniors. As this was a new venture, each member of the board was given an opportunity to edit the paper. Thus, each member received a first-hand knowledge of how to edit a newspaper. After this period of apprenticeship, a chairman was selected who acted in the capacity of editor-in-chief. This appointment was also accompanied by definite assignments to the various members of the board which divided the work and tended toward specialization. No newspaper can exist without its reporters and the Beacon had a worthy force. Regular beats were assigned, other events were covered as was evident by the loyal support rendered. The material submitted, after having been corrected by the Executive Board, was given to the six girls who did all the typing in preparation for the printer. Advertisements, output, and increase in sales was in the hands of our competent Business staff. To Mr. M. E. Stewart, faculty adviser, we owe our sincerest appreciation, for it was only through his council and supervision that the Beacon was possible.

B REAKING away from a long established custom, the students of the Chelsea Senior High School decided to edit a bi-weekly newspaper instead of the usual guarterly Beacon. ' ' This new paper was devoted to the news of the school and items of interest to the students. Items such as book-reviews, interviews with some notable people, short stories, poems written by the students, etc., were included in this new periodical. The whole management of the paper was run entirely by the students under the direction of Mr. Max E. Stewart, head of the English department. Besides the executive committee, a student was chosen in each homeroom to act as the paper ' s representative. It was the duty of these representatives to get subscriptions, take care of the distribution of the paper in the room, to report all items of interest that could possibly be printed, and to arouse interest in the new venture. Although this paper is something new in the school it made a decided hit with the students, and each issue added to its popularity. It is the wish of the executive committee and the homeroom representatives of the new Beacon” that this paper continues to gain in popularity with the future classes and in due time take the place of the guarterly Beacon ' s” importance in the hearts of the Chelsea Senior High School students.

Carroll of the faculty, has enjoyed one of the most active and successful seasons in recent years. The members of the club have shown admirable co-operation, both in the research necessary for successful debating and in the preparation and practice of speeches for the actual debates. The policy of the club has been to allow every member to participate in as many interscholastic debates as possible. As a result of this policy every debater has demonstrated a gradual and consistent improvement in poise, delivery and the understanding of many controversial and vital issues confronting the world at the present time. It is worthy of note that every debater ranked high in the recent current events examination. The reports of the various debates are as follows: January 15 Chelsea vs. Winthrop at Winthrop. No decision. February 3 Chelsea vs. Medford over Station WCOP. Won by Chelsea. March 12 Chelsea vs. Revere at Revere. No decision. April 26 Chelsea vs. Everett at Everett. No decision. May 5 Chelsea High vs.- Chelsea Evening High. Won by Evening High. In addition, in an attempt to stimulate inter est in debating, exhibition debates were held before the student bodies of the three junior high schools. Plans have been formulated for debates to be held in Chelsea with Everett, Revere and Lynn Classical High Schools. The topics used for debating this year were: (1) electric utilities, (2) annexation of Chelsea to Boston, (3) the President ' s Supreme Court proposal and (4) unicameral legis¬ latures. The officers of the club are: President, Gerald Doherty; Vice-President, Jacob Gold; and Secretary Edith Lempert.

This is a very difficult task to accomplish. This is the first year that Mr. Cleary has ventured to form such an organization. The progress of the chorus, however, has been badly hindered by unappropriate music. The chorus is composed of a group of girls who volunteered to sing. There are about twenty-seven girls who are divided into sopranos, second sopranos and altos. Each part is egually important as well as difficult. No one part must stand out above the others. The perfection of a song is obtained when all voices blend in perfect harmony.

T HE special orchestra this year, under the direction of Mr. Alexander E. Cleary, has played at the three junior high schools in conjunction with the Shurtleff A Capella Choir, and in February they played at the first assembly of the Marblehead High School. Following this, they were reciprocants of an invitation to play at the 118th anniversary of the founding of the Odd Fellows on April 28th. On March 4th the orchestra assisted at the Senior play which was held in the Senior High School Auditorium. Their splendid work on this evening under Sidney Seigal, student conductor, added greatly to the enjoyment of the evening. Future engagements of the group include playing for the Evening School Graduation, to be held May 20th, the Americanzation Graduation, to be held May 24th, and finally, having won the great distinction of being featured at an alumni dinner for all the teachers of New England, to be given at Salem on June 5th. There are already 1200 reservations for this event and all the alumni of this college have been invited to attend. The orchestra will also have their picture in the Salem yearbook. The full orchestra consists of seventy members, including two baritones, one trombone, two bass, four drums, eight first and second clarinets, seven first, second, and third trumpets, two alto horns, three E band tenor saxophones, three pianos and thirty-eight violins.

T HIS year again, as in previous years, a traffic squad formed under the supervision of Headmaster Webber and directed by Mr. Earle S. Anderson. A group of about 30 boys were selected by both Mr. Webber and Mr. Anderson. These boys were of good scholastic standing and could be relied upon to carry out their task. At the beginning of the year the squad helped the first year students to find their respec¬ tive rooms and to seat them properly at the assemblies throughout the year. The general things that the squad does for the benefit of everybody are to keep order on the staircase during filing. Boys are placed on the half landings and in the corridors during filing and they stay at these places until filing is all over. At lunch time the boys try to help keep the cafeteria clean by seeing that the papers are put in the barrels and the bottles put in the cases. They also try to keep the boys from destroying the school property. The squad with its very capable director, Mr. Anderson, who knows how to work the boys, is very good to work with. Mr. Anderson has as his assistant Joseph Covino and they work together in seeing that the boys are doing as they should. The squad meets with some difficult tasks, but the students who know they are doing the best for their good, co-operate with the squad and help keep the school in order. Page One Hundred Five SENIOR STATISTICS (Continued from Page Seventy-seven) Gigi Freedman received top male honors. Ethel Blaisdell was chosen ' most popular girl, while doing the male honors most deservingly was president Missi Karll. Dot Lessler was chosen wittiest girl while Les Habelow carried off the male honors. Oh, you silly thing. Please! No remarks! I swear it was on the level. Representing the boys for the best athletes we have George Pantano and Ken Skarapowski. For the girls we have Evelyn Pike and Florence Fitzpatrick. Ruth Fishman and George Danis were chosen best dressed girl and boy respectively. And don ' t forget boys you too can become the best dressed boy if you shop in Raymond ' s basement. Ethel Blaisdell and Connie Duggan were chosen most talented due to their grand and startling performance in our senior play. I am glad to hear that so many read outside of school. Our reading consists of such matter as the Daily Record, Daily Worker, Forward, and Boston American. Are we intellectual? But there are a few who do read the Traveler, Post, Globe, and Herald. They are the same life savers that saved us before. Out of our large class of 450 (we hope that there will be that many at graduation) 450 intend to go to college. Are we ambitious? Maybe ten will go. We mean well anyway. On the whole we all dance—call it whatever you like. About one-fourth have licenses to drive automobiles and we driv e some pretty cars. One bey in our class has a Flying license or thinks he has, whenever he drives his father ' s new Dodge. Guess who? When my worthy classmates were asked what their favorite amusement was—well all I can say is that the answers were even too deep for me, but of course if you insist I ' ll have to tell you. Hold on to your seats. Don ' t forget you insisted. Well, here goes. One wanted to go around killing kids—the mean thing—while still another said shooting flies with a rifle was his favorite amusement—you wouldn ' t want a cannon would you? While a third said frightening people gave him a great thrill and believe you the mug that wrote that could make a fortune in Hollywood during Boris Karloff ' s stay in England. When asked what they thought of babies, the answers on the whole were, they are cute or all right. One wise mug said that all babies should be born at the age of seventeen or over. Boy! Look at all the fun we would have taking care of babies. Bing! Bang! Boom! Crosby was awarded top honors of being the most popular crooner closely followed by Buddy Clark. Can you imagine people voting for Lawrence Tibbet and Nelson Eddy for their favorite crooner? Try and get serious with this class. Our favorite actresses are Greta I-tank-I-go-home Garbo, Jean Harlow, Myrna Loy and Katie Hepburn. The favorite actors are Tyrone Powers, Clark Gable, Bill Powell, and here he is girls—Robert Taylor. You can sigh now. Our pet radio comedians are Eddy Cantor, Jack Benny, Martha Raye, A1 Jolson, and Jack Oakie. The more serious programs were Bobby Benson, Renfrew, Skippy, Jack Armstrong, Little Orphan Annie, and Tom Mix Straight Shooters. When my worthy colleagues were asked what our school motto was, I received answers—well I really am ashamed to say. Out of 450 pupils I think three knew the right answer. We certainly are interested in school. I ' ll say. To those that might be interested the motto is: Wisdom is greater than knowledge; character greater than power. When I personally asked a few classmates what their fathers did for a living, I found that Pa was everything from a politician, to a boot-legger, crook, gangster, and nigger pool bookie The most important thing in life was Love and Money ran a close second and automobiles ran third. I guess I ' ve covered everything about our swell class. Oh, yes, if you have any complaints about this essay, manuscript, or whatever you want to call it, write them on the back of any sewer cover and send it to the department of justice anywhere. I ' m awfully tired and am running out of ideas, so I ' d better sign off. Page One Hundred Six ★ A —-N- -- rySffr w ★ JILL tmr TTTTl lLj—JTIHP BCACOfNlL- (111 .

GERSHON SALTER There ' ll be a great field open to him, And Gershy will enter with the greatest of vim. I see him gathering old bottles and bags For Gershy will be a vender of rags. EDISON PIKE Edison Pike is a bloodthirsty fellow, His temper is neither mild nor mellow; I see him as a yipping cowboy Branding cows with hysterical joy. JOSEPH COVINO Joe is our Chelsea High School sleuth, Who shows our law breakers no ruth. I warn you, Joe, take care of your feet, You ' ll need them later for pounding a beat.

With little round hats they will cover their curls; They ' ll work in a night club as hat-check girls. ELEANOR HARNEY Eleanor will be outstanding at her trade, And soon her fortune will be made. Her fame will be shouted near and far, For she ' ll be head waitress of Tony ' s Spa. LILLIAN REIMER Lil ' s the femme with the big brown eyes, Which all the men will extol to the skies.

The reason it will multiply and grow so big Is because Lennie is a raiser of the guinea pig. HENRY SHERR Though he managed his studies most successfully, He ' ll waste away his great ability. Disappointed in love, he ' ll flee from this region And like countless others he ' ll join the Foreign Legion. SYDNEY SEIGAL He will lead a great swing band That ' ll be known throughout the land.

All the prophets have argued and debated, - But to make this prophecy they ' ve co-operated, And by all the methods of divination I ' ve revealed to you your future station. Rich or poor, low or mighty; Dumb or bright, sedate or flighty. So if you don ' t like your prophecy Just blame the Fates, but don ' t blame me. MIDDLESEX UNIVERSITY WALTHAM, MASS.
