T HE Senior Student Council is made up of students from the Senior Class elected from their respective rooms to represent the student body. There are two council members from each Senior homeroom. The heads of the Student Council are the Senior Class officers, consisting of the President, Vice-President, Secretary, and the Treasurer. The President presides over the meetings as the chairman, and he has the right to vote in case of a tie. The Secretary records the business taken up and also reads the report of the previous meeting. As the members of the council were elected to represent the Senior Class, they took up all matters concerning the class such as the Senior Prom, the class pictures, selecting the coach for the Senior Play, the class rings, and the Senior Class Reception. The Senior Student Council also selects two faculty advisers from the Senior Teachers. The faculty advise and help out on any guestions which come up before the council. All business taken up before the council is conveyed to the student body by the councillors. Page Twenty-five MARION E.

In her senior year she has been a member of the French Club and Beacon Staff both. Mary Grace Nunn maintained high honors in her sophomore and senior years and honor in her junior year. She has been a member of the French Club in her senior year. These honor students have established records of which they can well be proud. Page Sixty-seven BEACON 38 1 9 SENIOR STATISTICS C ALLING all seniors! Calling all seniors! Stand by! This is Abraham Kagan, your class statistician, bringing you the ninth in a series of yearly reports on the status, mental and physical, of the graduating class. The class of 1938 is the biggest, and, we believe the best one ever to graduate from the Chelsea High School. As you will perhaps recall, this is the class which produced that great basketball team and a football team which, for the first time in more than thirty years, beat Everett to the tune of 6 to 0. The average boy graduating this year is seventeen years and three months old, is five feet nine inches tall, has brown hair and brown eyes, and weighs one hundred forty-three pounds. The average girl is seventeen years and seven months old, is five feet four inches tall, has brown hair and brown eyes, and and weighs one hundred twenty-two pounds. The oldest boy and girl are each twenty years and five months old. The youngest boy is yours truly at sixteen years and three months old, and the youngest girl is Sylvia Wihte at sixteen years and two months young. Towering to a height of six feet three inches is Samuel Leiter, his feet on the ground but his head in the clouds. The tallest girl is Evelyn Druker who is five feet eight and one- half inches tall. At the other end of the scale are Joseph Klane, five feet one-half inch tall and those petite Misses, Anna De Roche, Jennie Montecalvo, and Mary Grace Nunn, each of whom is four feet eleven inches short. The favorite teacher at Chelsea High School is Miss Marguerite Bligh. Second in popularity is Miss MacMillan. Among the men teachers about egually in favor are Mr. Cotter and Mr. O ' Brien. For the best-liked studies many subjects were mentioned, including French, physics and chemistry; but the favorites are English and lunch period. The amount of daily study varied among the different pupils from 0 to 6 hours. The book preferred by most of the class is Gone With The Wind. The favorite authors run all the way from Horatio Alger to Shakespeare and Schopenhauer. In the realm of magazines the pupils read almost anything from Ballyhoo and Detective Stories to Fortune and the Atlantic Monthly. However, the favorite one is Life. As regards the fourth estate, the class reads on the one hand the Daily Worker and on the other hand the New York Times. The papers which predominate in popularity, however, are the Boston newspapers. (Continued on Page One Hundred Six ) ABRAHAM KAGAN Statistician Page Sixty-eight BEACON 38 1 9 CLASS HISTORY H OW many stories we had heard about the senior high school! How many times we had yearned to be there! At last, on a bright September morning in 1935, we eagerly waited with bright and shining faces for those magic doors to open. At last we were senior high school pupils. What a grand and glorious feeling! After receiving our programs, we started out on our guest for learning. Up and down the stairs we wandered in a daze, sometimes drifting into a room only to learn we had gone far astray. Finally we settled down to the routine of high school life and felt that we really were a part, though an insignificant one, of the senior high school. All too soon, our first year came to a close. In the fall, we returned as juniors. Not many months passed before we were called upon to elect our class officers. The very capable group of officers elected by our student body consisted of Daniel Cronin as president, Richard McGowan, vice-president; Grace Wall, secretary; and John Sullivan, treasurer. Our faculty advisers, Miss Deasy and Mr. Hubner, were instrumental in making the Junior Prom a great success. Despite the bad weather, which is traditional of all junior proms, a few of our classmates missed this, our first formal gathering. Back at our desks in the fall of 1937, we, as seniors, started once more on the road to scholastic and athletic accomplishment. The most exciting diversion of the year was the Senior Prom held in December. The girls had long and eagerly awaited the evening on which they were to don their loveliest gowns, and each boy had deliberated at length on which girl he would bestow the supreme honor of an invitation. Glowing reports indicated that the prom was a unique success. Soon decorative posters announced the approach of the next important event -the senior play, Growing Pains. It was presented in February in the High School Auditorium under the able direction of Miss Bligh. Each member of the cast merited much praise, especially Miss Clara Sagik and Bernard Garrity, the leading characters of the play, Candy was sold throughout the evening by charming girls under the direction of Mrs. Malone. . In the meantime, our football team, coached by Mr. Garvey, defeated Everett, which up to this time had been our unconquered rival for thirty years. But athletic achievements did not end there. The basketball team, under the leadership of Mr. Kennelly, won the Tech Tournament. A finer group of players is hard to find. At an assembly, Mr. McCarthy of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, awarded our school temporarily a plaque which will be ours permanently if a Chelsea Senior High School basketball team wins the Tech Tournament three times. To each member of the team he presented miniature gold basketballs for excellent playing. The great event of our high school life is the Senior Reception, the last social function of the school year. For this grand finale we are going to Hotel Somerset. With graduation fast approaching, school life for most of us is about to end. In our memories, happy thoughts and vivid pictures of the past years will always linger. To the school board and Mr. Francis we tender thanks for their many efforts in our behalf. To Mr. Webber and the teachers we acknowledge a debt of gratitude for their careful in¬ struction during our three years in the high school. To the class of 1939 we seniors wish all success and hope that their last year at the high school may be as delightful as ours has been.

ARLINE GALLANT Pep, Vim and Vigor, was Arline ' s middle name. Her cheering helped our football team to win many a game. At twenty-one she married a boy with red, red hair, And Norman junior wins the prize at every Baby Fair. (Continued on Page One Hundred Seven) Page Seventy SENIOR PROM T HE Senior Prom of the class of 1938 took place December 17, 1937, in the school gym. This affair in keeping with all other undertakings of the Senior Class was a huge success both socially and financially. The gym was a pretty spectacle, decorated with colored paper and filled with dancing couples, who smoothly glided along to the strains of Bernie Sullivan ' s Orchestra. An outstanding feature of this year ' s prom was the presence of photographers who for a ncminal fee tcok life-sized pictures of all couples who wished them. In this way, all who attended the Senior Prom of the class of 1938 have not only the memories of the gala event to cherish, but also the picture of themselves and their friends as they looked dressed their nicest, in their high school days.

I N that memorable Thanksgiving Day game it was eleven men working as one body that defeated Everett. In the play Growing Pains it was the cast and committee that made it a great success. As producer., much credit is due to Coach Garvey ' s ace guard, John Sullivan, and his able assistant Richard McGowan. Norma Harris, as stage manager, and Lillian Picardi, as prompter, were important factors. The brilliant posters provided by the art department were largely due to the labor of Marie Clark. The publicity was provided by the publicity department headed by Bernard Robinson and Phyllis Lewitzky. Malcolm Ryder was in charge of tickets and programs, the scenery was arranged by Harold Hovasse, and the select music was taken care of by Esther Peingold. BEACON 38 1 9 THE TRAFFIC SQUAD Front Row.

From the early fall when they helped the new sophomores about the building, to the very end of the school year, the members of the squad under Captain Francis Burnham proved to be a helpful, efficient unit. Composed of about forty boys, mostly seniors, stationed at the strategic points through¬ out the school, the squad performed innumerable services besides those already mentioned. In addition the ushers for various activities were again this year chosen from the rolls of the squad. Only students whose marks and conduct were beyond reproach were eligible- As a result, Mr. Anderson can be proud of the work that the squad did, and the school may well be proud of Mr. Anderson.

The first important event was the selection of officers, which took place November, 1937. In this election John Quigley, Jacob Stoller, Ann Bookman, and Charles Lanzillo were named President, Vice President, Secretary, and Treasurer, respectively. After the election of officers, a Student Council was selected consisting of one boy and one girl from each homeroom to represent the class. The Junior Prom, which was anticipated by every member of the class, was held on April 29, 1938 in the Chelsea High School gymnasium. This affair proved to be a success both socially and finincially, due to the support of the class as a whole and the aid of the Faculty Advisers, Miss Nugent and Mr. Carroll. Several members of this class were outstanding in the athletic and scholastic events of the school and will continue, we hope, to be cooperative and a source of pride to their class throughout their high school days. Page Seventy-seven BEACON 38 1 9 JUNIOR PROM Friday evening, April 29, 1938, the school gymnasium was the scene of the Junior Prom. The class was most fortunate in ob¬ taining as Patrons and Patronesses Mr. and Mrs. George C. Francis, Mr. and Mrs. Robert R. Webber, Mr. and Mrs. Sumner M. Davis, Mr. and Mrs. M. E. Stewart, and Mr. and Mrs. Edward Cotter. The gymnasium was beautifully deco¬ rated in seasonable colors with gay streamers hanging across the hall and draped along the sides of the balcony and with multi-colored balloons hanging from the center of the hall. The dainty, colored evening gowns of the girls, con¬ trasted with the formal evening attire of the boys, together with the decorations, made a picture that will long be re¬ membered by all who were present. A novel idea was introduced at the Prom in having specialty numbers per- foimed by outside talent between the regular order of dances. Dancing, in which was included a prize waltz, was enjoyed with Eddie Conrad ' s Orchestra furnishing the much in demand swing music. Refreshments were served the latter part of the evening. Due to the untiring efforts and careful supervision of Miss Margaret Nugent and Mr. Joseph Carroll, Faculty Advisers, and to the ceaseless endeavors of the various committees, with the cooperation of the entire Junior Student Council, the Prom was an outstanding success.

When the season opened, the prospects were very bright, and during the 1937 season, the Garvey wizardry finally bore fruit. In the opening game the proteges of Coach Garvey defeated the New Bedford Voca¬ tional eleven 6-0 under the floodlights. On the following Saturday the Red Devils held a prospective state champion eleven from Lynn English to a scoreless tie. On the following Friday they did the same thing to Worcester Trade ' s representatives. October 9 saw Chelsea raining touchdowns on Quincy to the tune of 27—13. On the following Friday, the only thing Somerville High enjoyed was the free ride, as the Chelsea team pinned a 7-0 defeat on the Somerville eleven. Then came a very disastrous road trip. Playing in mud a foot deep, the Red Devils suffered a 14—0 defeat at the hands of Leominster s Race and Company. On a windy October day at Newell Stadium in Gloucester our Red Devils were defeated 13—6. Aided by Johnny Grigas s 84-yard gallop the Garvey men defeated the Winthrop High aggregation 13—6 and then pinned back the ears of the Beach City boys of Revere High by the same score. On Thanksgiving morning the Red Devils trekked across the Parkway to Everett Stadium to meet a highly favored Everett eleven. During the first half, both teams had numerous scoring chances but failed to carry the ball across either goal-line. Shortly after the kickoff, which opened the second half, Everett started to go to town, but the Gildeamen went out of gas when Dooley fumbled. The educated foot of Buck Mugford put the ball out of danger, and the ball changed hands several times. With about a half of the closing period left to play, Everett again got going, Chelsea fans became very sad, but then it all happened. The Red Devils intercepted a pass, and then Tommy Evans told Grigas to go off tackle. Those were Johnny ' s intentions as he started out, and on seeing a hole that a Mack truck could.go through, Johnny followed perfect interference, outran two fleet backs, and scored a victory over Everett. Standing out throughout the season were Co-Captain-elect Johnny Grigas, Tommy Evans, Gerald Noonan, Harry Sheinheite, Co-Captain-elect Bill Sartorelli, Johnny Sullivan, Jimmy Naimo and Co-Captain Louis Engber. Co-Captain Salvi Cifra, of whom a great deal was expected, was out a large part of the season due to leg injuries. After the season had finished, the gridsters were bangueted at the Williams School Hall by the Rotary Club and by the Moose, as a reward for their fine season. During Washington ' s Birthday week the citizens of Chelsea and the team s Royal Tooters financed a trip to New York, Philadelphia, Washington, and Annapolis.

U. Freshman team, and Morris Gershfield, mainstay of the champion Chelsea Y. M. H. A. team, who were the stars of last year ' s Red Devils, Coach Kennelly set to work building a new team around Capt. Fred Martin, Tommy Evans, and Jimmy McCarthy. Local papers predicted a poor season for the Kennelly men, and so the team set out to prove otherwise by winning the Tech Tournament. The Red Devils easily defeated Cambridge Latin, had a tough job taking Arlington into camp, and enjoyed a breather at Revere. They barely managed to eke out a victory over the Hubna Collins-coached five, defeated the Somerville High team, and before a capacity crowd lost to Captain Jim Hegan and Company. There was a defeat for Brockton, and as usual the Everett team played their best against Chelsea but lost out. As the football team did to Everett, so the basketball team did to Lynn English ' s hoop sguad, for they were the only team to defeat the Whelanites during the regular season. Against Revere the subs had a good workout, and then basket-hanger Art Cervone went to town to trounce the Red Devils. By stopping Barney Olsen the Kennelly men defeated Everett ' s hoopsters and were then trounced by the Somerville team. The Red Devils defeated Arlington, and in the closing game of the season had no trouble with Brockton. After Quincy defeated Lynn English, who were heavily favored to win the champion¬ ship, in the greatest upset in Tournament history, the Red Devils feated New Bedford with no extra hard work put in. The Chelsea team put on a great finish to defeat Tom Murphy ' s Rindge Tech five in the semi-final round. In the final game of the tournament Captain Martin and Company played the best ball of their high school career to eke out a two-point victory. Outlucked, outplayed, and unused to the huge Brown court, the Red Devils were eliminated by the strong Pawtucket five in the first round of the New England Tournament. For post-season honors three Kennelly men were chosen. For his fine offensive and defensive play, and his inspiring leadership, Captain Fred Martin was named center and captain on the All-Tech team. As he was the best guard in the tournament, Tommy Evans was chosen at guard. For his fine defensive play Louie Engbar was named utility guard. Page Eighty-four 38 1 9 BEACON Capt.

Berenson and captained by Herbert Person, enjoyed a fair season. During the season the harriers finished even Stephen in four meets, defeating Lynn English and Reading, and were defeated by the Tufts Freshmen and North Quincy High. Stand-outs throughout the season were Captain Herbert Person, Co-Captain-elect lohn and James Lawless, and Eddie Guilfoyle.

In his work Coach Berenson was pretty successful, as Captain Joe Gallant and the Chelsea runners established Chelsea as a definite Class B threat. Standouts throughout the season were Johnny Grigas, Johnny Lawless, Captain Joe Gallant, Vic Levene, Ralph Seferian, Tommy Joyce, and Hyman Mannevitch.

In the annual Northeastern Interscholastic Meet, Chelsea failed to score any points. Several Chelsea runners placed in their heats, but failed to place in the finals. In the relays Chelsea defeated Winthrop and Revere, but its time wasn t good enough to score points. In the Seaboard Relay Carnival, Chelsea was pitted against Hyde Park and Portland (Me.) High School. In the one-lap relay Chelsea defeated Hyde Park and Portland, and according to times was second to Worcester Commerce. In the two-lap relay it was Hyde Park, Chelsea, and Portland. When the times were figured Hyde Park was first, Dedham was second, and Chelsea third. After the meet one of the officials said that the Chelsea passing was the best that he had ever seen. In the classless Andover Meet, Chelsea definitely established itself as a scoring threat with 3 W points. lohn Grigas advanced to the finals in the dashes, and was second in the shotput. In the 1000, John Lawless won his heat but failed to place in the time awards. In the relay Chelsea defeated Brockton, finishing in last place according to time. John Grigas throwing the Shotput Albert Marlin and Victor Levene jumping the hurdles John Lawless high jump ing BEACON 38 1 9 In the State Meet Johnny Grigas ' s stiff legs were the cause of his failing to score in the dashes, lost the team much time in the relay, but he placed second in the shotput. In the relays Chelsea was second to Hyde Park in its heat, and was tied for tenth on the basis of time. In a dual meet with Everett the Red Devils suffered a 49J -29J trouncing at the hands of the Gildeamen. The Chelsea archrivals outscored our boys in the dashes, hurdles, 300, 1000, high jumps, and the relay, which was largely due to the poor pass work of the Gallant lead relay guartet. Against Somerville the Berenson-charged Red Devils were again the losers, this time by the score of 42-35. It was Somerville in the 600, 1000, the high jump, and the standing broad jump. Chelsea tied their opponents in the dashes and hurdles, and lead after the 300, but lost out. Against Winthrop the Berenson men finally got into the win column by a 39-38 score, although McFarland and Granger almost proved too much for them. The Johns, Grigas and Lawless, the 300, the 600, the 1000, and the shotput were the cause of Winthrop ' s woes. In the first track meet in schoolboy history, in which two teams combined to meet two other teams, the combined forces of Chelsea and Milton were vanquished by the friendly rivals, Norwood and Dedham, by the score of 49-28. Had the Red Devils been familiar with the new Dedham gym track, the results would have been much different. Chelsea scored in the dashes, shotput, 600, the 1000, and the standing broad jump. Milton scored in the 1000, hurdles, and high jump. Johnny Lawless ' s 2:32.5 is a new Dedham gym record. In a special invitation 300-yard run Lyman Avery defeated Dick McGowan, due to Dick ' s mistaking the number of laps he had to run.

Beatrice Binder, Gertrude Brown. r PHE 1938 Executive Committee ot the Yearbook tackled their difficult task of planning and molding, with the hope that they might give their class a book which they could proudly look back to as a memorial to happy youth. They have wholeheartedly attempted to produce the best yearbook yet published in the history of the school. The Committee with the cooperation of Mr. Max E. Stewart, as adviser, arranged the plan of the book which was fully decided upon by the Yearbook Representatives. Each member of the Executive Committee was in charge of a specific amount of work. Warren Alpert was in charge of the plan of the book, revising it continually. Gertrude Brown managed the art work in conjunction with the members of the Art department. Shirley Swartz worked diligently, as secretary, preparing the Senior Section. Marion Ahearn took care of all photography, filing the photographs and arranging for school photos to be taken. Beatrice Binder assigned and prepared the writeups of school activities for publication. The Executive Committee hopes that the long hours spent throughout the year have been rewarded by a successful Yearbook. Page Ninety-two 1 9 BEACON 38 YEARBOOK HOMEROOM REPRESENTATIVES Front Row.

T HE Yearbook Executive Committee was ably assisted in the production of the Yearbook by a large committee. This group was composed of two representatives from each senior, home room whose primary duty was to gather the data about each individual in his class and summarize it compactly for the Yearbook. The members of this committee were also at all times open for special assignments from the executive staff. All plans suggested by the staff concerning the contents of the book and the printing and engraving contracts had to be approved by the committee. Therefore the business at Yearbook Committee meetings included discussions on the material to be included in the book and the ways of making the book interesting and attractive. In this manner, the Senior Class produced its Yearbook as a result of the untiring efforts of every member on the Executive Staff and its Committee.

T the beginning of the school year, the students were given an opportunity to decide whether they wished to continue to support the biweekly four-page newspaper which had been published during the year 1936-37. As the vote showed clearly that they would not support it willingly by purchasing subscriptions, it was decided to have a weekly department in the Chelsea Evening Record.” This plan gave an opportunity for collecting and writing news and feature stories without any extra expense to the students for the publication. In fact it was possible to publish more material in this manner than could have been used in the bi-weekly newspaper. The senior members of the executive committee, Phyllis Lewitzky, Hyman Kessler, and Max Ross, took charge of getting the news together on successive weeks, assisted by the junior members, Nina Prishva and Elaine Korelitz and the Beacon contributors. The experiment has been a success in two ways. First, it has made it possible to publish news of the school more freguently and more thoroughly. Second, the students who have done the work have profited great ly by the experience in that they have learned how to express themselves better and how to get along with people.

A SSISTING the Executive Committee of the Beacon were many Beacon contributors. This group consisted of all students who volunteered to serve as reporters. However, only those who continually wrote for the paper all through the year were recognized at the end. The task of these contributors was to gather school news and jokes and often to do special assignments. These assignments consisted of feature stories, special columns, poems, and interviews. Throughout the year the leaders of various clubs and activities in the school have been interviewed by the Beacon, and their stories have been published. Likewise, distinguished visitors to the school and city have been interviewed by Beacon contributors who always, when they had the will, had the opportunity to get a good story and see it published.

T HE Varsity Debating Club has completed the most active and successful year ever enjoyed by this forensic group. Regular meetings were held every Friday afternoon in Room 118. In addition, the members devoted many extra hours to assembling material and in practicing for specific debates. In all, the club has engaged in twenty-two debates, an unusualy heavy schedule for a high school club. It is significant to note that every member has engaged in at least four contests, thereby affording each individual ample opportunity to further his or her own development. The highlights of the season were the debates with Boston Latin, Girls ' Latin, Revere, Chelsea Evening High, the assembly debate with Everett and also the radio debate with our friends from across the Parkway. The topics used for the debates were: (1) unicameralism, (2) electric utilities, (3) science is more beneficial than harmful to man, (4) withdrawal of our armed forces from China, (5) federal subsidy to education, (6) minimum wages and maximum hours, (7) Dutch treats, and (8) return of German colonies. The members wish to thank the school officials, and especially Mr. Webber, for their splendid cooperation and support. Page Ninety-six BEACON 38 1 9 SPANISH CLUB Eunice Reichman Treasurer Walter Saperstein President John FitzGerald Vice President TN response to the annual call, El Circulo Espanol was organized under the supervision of 1 Miss J. R. Burke early in December. The following officers were elected: President, Walter Saperstein Secretary, Edna Grossman Vice-President, John FitzGerald Treasurer, Eunice Reichman All Seniors, together with Juniors and Sophomores, obtaining grade A or ' A B may become members. Meetings are held the first and third Mondays of the month and are carried on in Spanish. Committees are appointed by the President at intervals to arrange programs of short plays, songs, anecdotes, musical selections, and current topics of interest. The purpose of El Circulo Espanol is to afford a means of gaining facility in the use of the language and also to create an interest in the history and literature of the Spanish people. Thus far, the club has proved to be a great success, and all indications point to a prosperous termination. Page Ninety-seven BEACON 38 1 9 MATHEMATICS CLUB Vaskin Eynation Secretary Theodore Greenfield President Robert Boyd Vice President HPHE Mathematics Club, under the capable supervision of Mr. Earl G. Boyd, had their meetings bi-weekly in Room 217. This club was open to both juniors and seniors who took either geometry or algebra and were interested in both subjects. The purpose of the club has been to acguaint the members with examples in the various phases of mathe¬ matics which they would be unable to receive in their classrooms. The president assigned certain problems to different members for each meeting, and they were to explain their individual examples to the whole club. Because the juniors had not yet finished their algebra course, most of the examples done at the meetings were based on Geometry. The members were shown how to do geometric problems in translation, rotation, and various ways of proving the Pythagorean Theorem, besides interesting accounts of the History of Algebra and Geometry. This year the Mathematics Club was privileged to have {wo very remarkable guest speakers, Mr. Ray Farnsworth, head of the mathematics depart¬ ment at Chauncy Hall School, and Professor Elmer B. Mode of Boston University, whose topics were Typing Things Together in Geometry and the Symbol Zero respectively. There were an even amount of junior and senior members in the club, and the juniors have been looking forward to having another successful season next year. Page Ninety-eight 1 9 BEACON 38 SCIENCE CLUB Rebecca Siegel Secretary Martin Arnow President Theodore Bean Vice President r T l HE Science Club was reorganized on Monday, December 6, 1937, in the lecture hall 1 under the supervision of Mr. Thompson of the Science department. The following officers were chosen: Martin Arnow, President; Theodore Bean, Vice-President; and Rebecca Siegel, Secretary. The members, approximately twenty in number, were principally students in chemistry and physics, and a few in biology. Bi-weekly meetings were held at which physics and chemistry demonstrations, experi¬ ments, and lectures were given. Interesting programs were arranged by the different students on various scientific subjects which were thoroughly enjoyed. Pictures and slides were shown for the benefit of the Science Club through the kind efforts of Mr. Thompson, Mr. Staples, Mr. Mockler and Miss Maynard, all of the Science department.

T E CERCLE FRANCAIS has had a very interesting as well as educational year. This 1 club is managed by Miss Maude Frost Mitchell, head of the French department. Its aims are to stimulate interest in France, its people, its customs and its language, to encourage the students not only to hear and read the language but to speak it as well. The first meeting was held in December, 1937, in room 223. This was a short meeting to acguaint the members with the customs and ideals of Le Cercle and to announce the officers and other committees whom Miss Mitchell had chosen because of scholastic ability and fitness. The official roster is: Abraham Kagan, president; Jordan Dobrow, and Bernard Schwartz, first and second vice-presidents; Theresa Lo Porto, secretary; Norman Rosenfield, treasurer; Hyman Kessler, director of activities. At the second meeting, held in the school auditorium, the members enjoyed a French-talking film, Sans Famille. The third meeting was held in the school library in February. At this meeting Miss Edith Fishbine, an alumna of our school and now a professor of Spanish at Simmons College, spoke on the condition now existing in war-ravaged Spain. Miss Burke and the members of the Spanish Club were guests at this meeting. Plans are being made for the next monthly meeting at which a Major Bowes ' Amateur Hour will be the feature attraction. The summer meeting of the Club will present two short comedies of unusual interest and amusement. The club members treasure the profit and pleasure and esprit de corps of the monthly meetings and can truly say Thanks for the Memory.

The purpose of this club is to interest students of the Commercial Course in the indus¬ tries of the world, to divert the attention of young boys and girls to the future and what the commercial world holds in store for them. Members of this club have visited various places of interest this season such as: The Hood Sons Milk Co., where they saw the various processes the milk goes through before it is delivered to the various doorsteps. The Salada Tea Co., where they saw various antigues of China and samples of tea from all over the world. The Chelsea Chamber of Commerce Building, where they saw various articles from some of the industries of our city, and the Christian Science Monitor Building, where they saw how the papers went to press. They correspond with other students in foreign lands, to such distances as South Africa, Belgium, Poland, France, etc. The members of this club are: Annette Braverman, Nina Prishva, Helen Waschuck, Eileen Socha, Sylvia Miller, Edythe Winer, Barbara Plotnick, Dorothy Massirman, Eva Ersenal, Helen Urbaniak, Rose Yakoobian, Miriam Alstader, Adeline Hirsh, Bertha Kessler, Erma Citron and Shirley Levine.

T HE Chelsea Senior High School had among its music divisions an A cappela choir under the direction of Mr. Cleary. The choir was composed of fifty-two sophomore, junior, and senior girls divided into three groups according to their voice tone. Although this was the second year of the choir, it had practically all new voices. The increasing popularity of such a choral group was shown by its great increase in membership. An A capella choir differs from a glee club in that the music is rendered without any accompaniment. Emphasis is placed upon the interpretation of the song, and exaggerated expression is the means of furnishing the unusual characteristics of such a chorus. The three groups of the choir are the first sopranos, the second sopranos, and the altos. There were eighteen first sopranos, sixteen second sopranos, and eighteen altos. It is essential in such a choral group that all the voices blend as one. The members of the choir train their voices so that this perfect harmony and unison is achieved. Each member must know her music so well that she is able to devote her entire rehearsal period to the concentration of expression. Chelsea High School should be proud of its songstresses.

When it comes to movie actors and actresses some voted for Paul Muni, Gary Cooper, William Powell, Myrna Loy, Luise Rainer, Mae West, etc.; but it was easy to see that the favorites are, respectively, Dopey and Snow White, as immortalized by Walt Disney. As for radio personalities, the favorite was that wooden-head, Charlie McCarthy, with Jack Benny in second place. In the vote for the ' ' bests ' ' in the class the follow¬ ing are the winners: The best-looking boy is Bernard Chick Garrity. The best-looking girl is Anna Dancewicz. The best-dressed boy is Bernard Glassman. The best-dressed girl is Lillian Crowley. The best boy athlete is our three-letter man, Tom Evans. The best girl athlete is Catherine McCann. The most talented boy is lofty Samuel Leiter. The most talented girl is Clara Sagik. The boy with the most personality is John Sully Sullivan. The girl with the most personality is Mary Carolan. On the question of smoking and drinking it is almost unanimously agreed that smoking is all right for boys, but not for girls, and that drinking is absolulely taboo. Most of the members of the class know how to dance. The majority of the pupils participate in sports of which the favorites are baseball, ootball, basketball, tennis, swimming, skating, and bicycling. The hobbies which the pupils enjoy include stamp and coin collecting, photography, and reading. One unusual hobby is steam fitting. As to the intentions of those graduating, the pupils are about equally divided between those who are going to work and those who are going to a school of higher education. One or two want to work on the W. P. A., and one wants to play in a swing band. When it came to the question, What is the most important thing in life? there were many answers, including money, success, happiness, service to others, etc. One boy said Getting married; another said, Staying single. It ' s all very confusing. I was surprised and sorry to find that only about three pupils in the entire class know the school motto. I got every possible answer except the right one. For those who do not know it, the correct version is Wisdom is More than Knowledge—Character Greater than Power. One last word. If there are any complaints to be made about this report, will the complainant please write a legible letter, address it in care of, and then drop it into the nearest waste-paper basket, and proceed to forget all about it? Thank you and so long.

Their mother, ably portrayed by Marcia Tuck, is a soft heart who lets them have their fling, and they do. Much credit is due to the supporting cast which includes: Anna Dancewicz, Benjamin Shuman, Robert Boyd, John O ' Keefe, Mildred Myers, Anna Paglia, Rayfield Helman, Evelyn Cutler, Fred De Cain, Lillian Crowley, Theresa Lo Porto, Mary Kane, Helen Adick, Arline Gallant, Jacob Gold, Robert Webber.
