The date, 1847, marked the beginning of years of plan¬ ning, progress, failures, and success, in maintaining a high school of the highest standards. Every day, sixty young people, girls with their starched skirts rustling as they walked, and boys in their high, stiff collars, took their places for the opening class in the little room on the second floor of Low ' s 11 all, which could hardly be called a school In this cramped space over a store on Broadway near Everett Avenue where Craft’s now stands, the foundation was laid for one of the most outstanding high schools in all New England, one from which thousands of voting people would emerge, many to become great men and women, a credit to their city and their school, and others, although perhaps less illustrious as civic or national figures, to see their children and grandchildren follow in their footsteps along the corridors of Chelsea High School. Rumney Marsh — First school for Chelsea and surrounding districts. Carey School served as the high school from But as the prosperity and population of the little community began to expand, the neces¬ sity and demand for suitable education and college preparation for young people who had completed grammar school became more evi¬ dent, eventually the tiny space of the “two by four classroom with its high, small windows and creaking desks became inadequate for so staggering a number of enrollments. The am¬ bitious interests of parents and civic leaders made possible the erection of the first high school building in 18 0, known as the Cary School. This school, with its high windows and large square rooms, was used for primary grades until very recently when condemned because of dangerous construction and fire hazards. After ninety-seven years of faithful service, the tired old school retired to sit back and watch its successors carry on. As the population of Chelsea (which had obtained enough recognition to become a city in 1S47) grew each year, even the building that had been constructed in 1850 was not suf¬ ficient to hold the students that flocked to be enrolled. By 1872 the need for a new building was so acute that a completely new and modern high school was built near the foot of Belling¬ ham hill. The Bellingham School consisted of two floors of classrooms, complete with a labora¬ tory in the basement and the “very newest improvement out” in ventilation systems, a high fan at the top of the building which, when 1850 to 1872. 2 ' l Bellingham School, 1872-1905. Crescent Avenue School, 1905-1926. it revolved made it almost impossible to carry on a class because of the noise. In 1884, from this school, graduated the largest graduating class since 1847—thirty-four students! Although hardly comparable to our present school, looking back through the years we find that some of the most enjoyable school relationships, activities, and organizations (such as the first P.-T. A.) sprang from that little school from the time of its erection to the day of the tragic, historically fam¬ ous fire in 1908 that consumed everything in its path i lcluding the Bellingham High School itself. liven before the destruction brought on by the fire, the increasing enrollment of high school pupils and the crowded conditions at the Bellingham School brought up the question of a new school. For several years it was the chief topic of discussion until finally the plans for a new school were accepted because of obvious necessity. At last, in 1905, the plans were completed and the cornerstone laid for the pride and joy of the city and the first wing of our present building. The location of Tudor Street was ideal and space ample for nearly 1,200 pupils. Soon after the erection of this new building, the Bellingham School was converted to a junior high school until the Chelsea fire erased it from the hill. In 1911 the faculty consisted of one master, one submaster, and fourteen teachers. During the years 1911 through 1025 the enrollment of students rose from 396 to 1,159. This period also saw the introduction of the office as a vital part of the high school department. The progressive new high school contained features that added countless pleasures and re¬ laxation to the regular routine of studies. A lunch counter was installed by the Chelsea Women’s Club. Regular as¬ semblies were held to encourage school spirit, at many of which the newly organized class orchestra performed. To this enterprising new high school came the first blows of a war that had already struck in many other parts of the world just as the effects of an even more universal war were felt deeply in the hearts of young men and women twenty- three years later. Scanning the pages of our historical accounts, the activities of the students in the periods before and during World War I correspond with remarkable similarity to those of high school students in the second World War. Then, too, it was a constantly prominent topic of interest. The same deep-rooted spirit of self-sacrifice and patriotism existed among our parents and their friends that we, and our brothers, sisters, and friends felt. A large number of pupils even left school for high wages brought about by the war. Schools took an active part in war activities such as the pur¬ chase of Liberty bonds and stamps, and contributions to Red Cross funds and activities. Tragedy, too, first found its way into the lives of young high school students and their close acquaintances during World War I. And after the signing of the Armistice on November 11, they rejoiced with the same wild exultation, checked a little by the grave realism that also found its way into our celebration. In the year 1926, during the real “flood tide of prosperity,” the additional wing of the high school was erected on Crescent and Clark Avenue to meet the demand of an ever-increasing enrollment. The spacious, well-equipped rooms, outside of numerous improvements and additions were much the same as they are today. The completed high school fully succeeded in holding the same high reputation as its predecessors, and in 1930, Chelsea was rated as a Class A school and has been ever since. The highest number of students in a graduating class was 485, in 1938. This year there were 1,150 pupils in the school, under a faculty of one headmaster, one submaster, one junior master and fifty-three teachers. 3 As We Interior of Low’s Hall, first high school for Chelsea, founded in 1847, and located in a small room above the business sec¬ tion of Chelsea at the corner of Broad- wax ' and Everett Avenue. 4 M Are Today As we proudly scan the pages of our school’s own biography that started, just as in the fairy tale, an ugly little duckling which through a period of time and experience, eventually grew into a tall, magnificent thing of beauty, we find that this point is not the end of the tale. We see that after one hundred years of development, there are still many more pages left blank, pages to be filled in by future biographers and based on, we hope, the same meritable record of achievement. %9af Our Founding 1874-1883 Jonathan Kimball 1883- 1884 A.

Ever since Mr. Keefe sat behind his desk, conducting the first class of the Chelsea Senior High School as both principal and teacher, students and graduates have owed the benefits received from education in the higher fields of knowledge, not only to the teaching they were given in the classes, but also, for the greater part, to the influence of many fine persons. Through all the understanding faculty leaders that watched their students complete their education in high school, and continue their careers later in life, superintendents and princi¬ pals who would always be a part of the rich, full memories of youthful high school days, the graduates of Chel¬ sea Senior High School, through the years, were able to acquire and develop the characters that they would carry throughout their lives. 1 he position of Superintendent of Schools which was created in 1874 because of the increasing number ol schools in Chelsea and the need of a well organized, powerful school system, since Jonathan Kimball first exercised his duties as Superintendent, has been expertly handled by his successors down through a century of 1 Iigh School’s progress. Our present superintendent, Mr. J. Frank Herlihy who has held this office for five years has capably suc¬ ceeded in helping to carry out the duties and traditions, handed down through the years and in executing his powers lor the benefit of the Chelsea schools. Having graduated from Boston College in 1928 with an A.B. degree and Boston University with a Master’s Degree in Administration in 1934, Mr. Herlihy, whom Chelsea Senior High School is proud to claim as one ot its own former teachers, has worthily proved his capabilitv as superintendent. 6 Fathers Filling in the footsteps of his predecessors as competently as all the rest is our headmaster, Robert R. W ebber, having completed his education with the degree of Bachelor of Science from Colbv, Maine in 1909, and Master of Education from Harvard in 1931, and through experience from previous periods of teaching at York, Maine, Saugus, and Oak Grove Seminary. He has successfully followed their example in securing a closer bond between teachers and pupils, one that serves to enrich the student’s school and later life, through which he may be able to receive more benefit from his studies, and to apply these studies to the career which he has chosen. In addition to advising and encouraging pupils who intend to enter college or carry on advance work, our principal is always on hand to discuss and try to settle the individual problems of the student. One of our most pleasant memories in looking back over our own three years at Chelsea Senior High School as well as the ninety-seven years of its existence before we entered its portals, is that of having been under the guidance of such a headmaster. Mr. Robert Webber, Head-master. PRINCIPALS 1847-1832 Sidney Keefe 1832-1870 Ozias (7 Pitkin 1870-1886 Frank A. Hill 1886-1891 J. E. Clark 1891-1908 Alton E. Briggs 1908-1910 William C.

Davis, who has maintained the same sympathetic association with students of the school, and has also helped many of them to become successful in their life ' s work by the aid of his counsel. Mr. Davis, prior to his appoint¬ ment at Chelsea Senior High School in 1921, with a B. S. degree from Bates in 1917, had taught in Mexico, Maine, and Braintree, and also served in the Canadian Army in 1918. Another of the students’ favorite confidants is Mr. Cotter, our Junior Master, one of Chel¬ seas own graduates. He received his Ph.B. degree at B. C. in 1927 and Master of Science degree, in September 1928, in addit ion to winning the Hahmann Fellowship in Chemistry. A popular figure in the high school faculty since 1934, and our own Junior Master for two years. Mr. Cotter is one ol the most energetic and popular men ever to fill this position. 8 Mr. Sumner Davis Perhaps the most essential factor of the Senior High School’s faculty department, since first introduced in 1905, is the office. The office clerk and staff have played a leading part in the high school’s development as well as any individual or group. Our office clerk. Miss Kotzen, for many years has had under her capable direction the office staff which each year is chosen to handle the clerical work of the high school. This group of hard-working seniors can be seen working industriously during any part of the daw Faithfully following the instructions of Miss Kotzen they receive callers, deliver vital messages, or handle much of the high school ' s correspondence. Miss Kotzen — Busy as a bee. The Office Staff Left to right: Katherine Petmezakis, Barbara Moore, Shirley Kessel, F.li .abeth McCann. 9 Our Halls 10 of Wisdom Among the many additions and improvements that entered with the completion of our present high school building, is the beautiful, modern, well-equipped li¬ brary. For many years this comfortable hall, with its abundance of information and entertainment has been a popular and helpful source for research. It holds a wealth of knowledge and even restful recreation for some weary bookworm trving to relieve his “work- oppressed brain.” For several years the library has been under the capable direction of Miss Zita A. Flvnn. one of the most popular librarians that ever sat behind the desk. Our Priceless Not only as the graduates of a typical American High School, but as Americans, we prize our invaluable privilege of ex¬ pressing our ideas and opinions openly and without interference perhaps more highly than our other numerous bless¬ ings. Freedom of speech, press, and as¬ sembly guarantee us the right of not onl airing our own views, but of listening to and learning from the beliefs and convic¬ tions of others. In order to apply this precious gift to best adv antage, we must make the most of our individual abilities to express ourselves clearly, correctly and forcefully, as well as to cultivate a mind which delves below the surface for the underlying truths. Only with a linn, basic knowledge of our language will we be able to use, not abuse, this privilege, which has been granted to the students of Chelsea Senior High School since 1S47 Intelligent educated citizens make a successful country, and while there is no royal road to success or learning a funda¬ mental background in English has proven to be the closest thing to seven league boots ever discovered as an aid in travel¬ ing the long trail to wisdom and glory. Therefore, we are equipped first of all, with principles of the language, wmich form the basis for all future achieve¬ ment. After the studies of participles and infinitives, we progress from the rud¬ imentary stage to the deeper phases of the subject, reading and interpreting the works of the classic and contemporary Mr. Max Stewart poses a question (?) Miss Helen Kintz — Oh! Shakespeare. Miss Hand — Every verb has an object. e writers, Shakespeare, Moliere. Tennyson and Rostand, each contributing to our mental development. Besides being of inestimable material value, this knowl¬ edge gives the student a love and appre¬ ciation for the greater things in life which remains with him as a constant in¬ fluence long after the portals of high school have closed behind him. In order to familiarize us with the fundamentals of this priceless heritage, the C helsea Senior High School has ob¬ tained the services of a very competent English department to impart a fairly extensive knowledge of English literature as well as the fundamentals of grammar. Mr. Stewart, head of the English depart¬ ment, teaches the college and technical juniors, and prepares them fully for their senior year of English. Miss Kintz deals especially in college preparation which is based on extensive study of essays, drama, poetry, and the finer points of English. Miss Hand also helps to prepare students of the Chelsea High School for college, for to her are assigned the sopho¬ mores in the college and technical groups The seniors of the general course and commercial girls have Miss Cox for Eng¬ lish, and the “sophs” are lucky enough to have as their English teacher Mr. Ridge. Mr. Green leads both juniors and sophomores on the royal road to success through a well-developed foundation of English. Miss Cox — Directing an English Class is so trying!! Mr. Ridge — The word’s the thing. Mr. Green — Adverb or adjective? A More of Our Heritage Miss Kuhn —What’s the subject of the sentence? I ' he commercial girls receive their basic training in English, from the time they first enter the portals ot he Chelsea High School until they are ready to gradu¬ ate, under a group of ambitious and capable teacheis. These are Miss Kuhn, Miss Margaret Connolly, Miss Cogan, and Miss Bligh. With teachers such as these to guide us thiough our three years of English, we feel sufficiently well equipped to step forward on the road of life to success. Miss Connolly — Poetry, sweet mystery of life. Miss Cogan — Comment on this oral report! Miss Bligh —These secretaries are well versed in English??? II Across the Sea Miss Connolly — How do you say it in France? I he important task of teaching the fundamentals of the French language, falls upon the shoulders of .Miss i Brodbine in room 124. Mere the pupil learns his gram¬ mar through the interesting memory passages of Miss Brodbine’s own invention. From here the pupil goes !t Miss Frances Connolly s advanced classes, where he learns advanced grammar, great French works of [classic and modern authors, and he also has the privi¬ lege of joining the French Club, which is a great asset in learning conversational French. Under the guidance of Mr. Pierotti, those pupils who so wish may undertake the study of one of the most I beautiful Romance languages. Italian. The week is I divided by the studying of the fundamentals, composi¬ tion, and pisturesque idioms of the languages one part jof the week and the popular words of the great Italian writers the rest of the week. Miss Brodbine — Now a section from “A Propos.” Mr. Pierotti — How do you say “I love you in Italian?” Forsan Et Haec.... Miss Deasy — Is that Virgil you are reading? Miss Burnett — Est semper Caesar! For 100 years the phrase has been read, repeated, memorized and translated by Latin students of Chelsea Senior High School. Ever since 1847 high school students of Latin have followed in their translations, the adventures, trials, and tribulations of the classic Roman heroes. 1 he lives of these men, immortalized by the greatest poets of all time, have held great stores of meaning, interpreted according to each student’s particular point of view. Latin is perhaps one of the few subjects carried down through the century that have not been greatly altered in the method of teaching and application. In our time, however, the study of the language has probably taken on a more enjoyable and useful light. To students in this modern age of discovery and invention more and more applications for even a sparse knowledge of Latin are possible. Miss Deasy’s little games occasionally provide a break in the daily routine of the class. Although these pertain to Latin and hold a wealth of additional aid in mastering vocab¬ ularies, they offer variety to Latin pupils. But unfortunately, we can ' t have them all the time. Back to work! Translation of Cicero occupies the student of Latin 111, under Miss Burnett’s and Miss Deasy’s watchful guidance, while the young sophomores “opstipuerunt,” trying to accustom them¬ selves to translating Julius Caesar! But the best year of all is Latin IV. The seniors who have elected this year of Latin have the great Aeneid by Virgil. A great deal of mythology comes into the daily work, and study of the work of perhaps the greatest of all epic Roman poets, the Latin students often discover cleverly and wisely worded phrases that would not have been nearlv so I effective in English. Miss Severance — Does that question pertain to German? 16 T O ’ ' T 1 ! C (•(•C P In Spain 1 hey Say Si, Si a German, although not as ancient as Latin, is an equally fascinating language. English itself is the great, great grandson of the Teu¬ tonic language. Many technical and scientific data are recorded in German. The study of German also offers a wide field of authors, philosophers and poets. Goethe, Germany’s father of classic literature, is placed on the same level as Shakespeare and Dante bv the whole world. 1 hese obvious facts, among other reasons, were used in the arguments favoring German during heated controversies about keeping it in the high school curriculum at the time of World War I. But the realization of the true value and need of German in high school was placed be¬ fore any other prejudices and feelings that were common to nearly all Americans at the time. I hus, since the very first session of the Chelsea High School, German has held its own important place in the curriculum and the in¬ dents of 194 have been fortunate to have a teacher such as Miss Severance who goes out ot her way to inspire interest and good work in her classes. No mas hablando; la campana ha 011 - nado! No more talking; the bell has rung! With this familiar phrase the classes of Miss McKenna, Miss Brodbine, and Miss Spring begin their day. During the week, the lives ot Spanish authors are discussed and the rest of the week is spent in discussing Spanish com¬ position and idioms. No matter what the language is that the student takes up during his stay in the Chelsea High School, he is sure to enjoy both the lan¬ guage and his teacher. I he closely related Romance languages have always been among those enjoyable subjects that have lost none of their popularity through the years. Miss Brodbine — But that isn’t Spanish. Miss McKenna — Can you locate Spain? Miss Spring —Si, si, that’s right. Miss Gearan — What is the big question of the day? Social Studies prepare us to understand what is go¬ ing on about us and to plan our part in future events, especially in this atomic era which will shape the fate of the world A profound knowledge of the great po¬ litical. social or economic crises of the past or present is one of the best safeguards against these weaknesses in the future. The Social Studies course at Chelsea High School since 1847 has always kept in the path of modern education and will continue to do so. The reason tor this is making the graduate of High School loyal and intelligent citizens of the future and take their part intelligently in the affairs of the government. Economics deals with all the problems that arise from man’s efforts to get a living. Because we want many things, because the things we want are scarce, because the only way to get them is by working the land, building houses, manufacturing goods and ex¬ changing goods with each other, we face economic problems. Problems of Democracy describes concrete problems of vital importance to society. It gives us the real training to make us better citizens and to solve prob¬ lems of our day. For it takes training not only to be¬ come leaders but also good followers. Mr. Leader — That’s not in the Bill of Rights. Mr. Thompson — Historically speaking- that’s correct. for Democracy World history shows us the background of Amer¬ ica and all the reasons for the state of present con¬ ditions in the world. It also shows us how our relations with foreign countries have grown and developed. American history is the story of what man has done. The people of 1847 were able to witness events which shaped our nation and we in l c )47 also view the events which will destine the future of not only the United States but also of the whole world, in order to graduate from the Chelsea High School, history is required of every student. The objective is to create an understanding of our democracy to¬ day in terms of the struggles of great men and women of the past. A knowledge of history and our Constitution makes for more intelligent citizenship, greater tolerance and a rich cultural background. Great statesmen may point out the right paths, but if the majority is not enlightened, there is little hope of progress. Future Americans must train themselves to solve the problems in time of peace as well as in time of war so that there can be no doubt or hesi¬ tation as to the continual leadership of our country among all other nations. Miss Sylvester — Quite a large thing’ the world? Miss Israelite — That’s a world-wide economic difficulty. Miss Stearns — Now study your history!! Progress in the It was not until after 1008. when we were well established in the building on Crescent Avenue that the idea of a girl having a place in the business world was even considered. 1 hrough the years, the commercial course has been so highly developed that a com¬ mercial diploma, which was first given to graduates in June. 1915, is all that is neces- sar to become a stenographer and general “Miss Fix-It around the office. One of the earliest teachers of bookkeeping and other commercial subjects was Miss Berry, a Chelsea girl. It was formerly the assumption that all pupils studying commercial subjects were going to enter the business world. Now three groups ol students in the commercial classes are considered; those who wish to enter the business world and require a knowledge of commercial work for any posi¬ tion they may take, those who intend to study in advance business colleges and wish training preparatory to this course, and those who simply, through one’s daily de¬ pendence on business, wish to acquire an understanding of business. At the start of her sophomore year the prospective secretary is introduced to Book¬ keeping by means of debit and credit. In bookkeeping 2 and 3 Miss Bennett teaches us advance entries, income expense and dis¬ count. Miss Harris — Take a letter, Miss Jones. Miss Bennett — Above all, accuracy. Miss Hope — Write as I dictate. Commercial Field Shorthand offers the bright young lady the opportunity of learning a speedy system of communication, after a thorough study of theory, speed and accuracy are devel¬ oped, along with vocabulary, under the capable directions of Miss Hope. Of course, shorthand is practically use¬ less without its Siamese twin, the mechan¬ ical monster, known as the typewriter. The aspirant typist drills asclf space; lkj space for what seems an eternity. Finally, she begins to transcribe her hieroglyphics into what takes the semblance of business let¬ ters. Office Practice is a subject planned to blend all commercial subjects into a basic course. Here the girls get a chance to de¬ velop office technique while practicing on actual office machine. Special attention is given to vocabulary and efficiency by Mrs. Malone. After three years of training the graduate steps forward, commercial diploma in hand, ready to face the meanest looking type¬ writer or ledger any of her worthy prede¬ cessors ever had to cope with. Mr. White — Is that an ink eraser I see? Miss Sharood — Neatness counts. Mrs. Malone — Requirements for a white-collar girl. The Mysterious Problems Noises may go, and odors may come; i he studies and anxiety of this year are done. 1 he battles ol science we have partiallv won. Hut the problems of life have merely begun. 1 hrough the ages, students throughout the four corners of the earth have studied in countless languages the seemingly in¬ surmountable problems of the noble sciences, physics, chemistry, and biology. We ot the Class ot 1947, much to our surprise and dismay, have failed to solve many (4 the complex puzzles of Mother Nature just as students before us have, ever since a laboratory was erected in the Bellingham High School. At the beginning of what was to be a most eventful year the humble disciples of messieurs, Mr. Mockler and Mr. Cot¬ ter strolled confidently into the various labs with lofty ambitions floating gently through their minds. Reclining in their luxurious arm chairs a strange stench (or should we call it a pungent odor) wafted into their nostrils. Throughout the year, the Pasteurs of the future struggled bravely with the big three of chemistry, lab sheets, experiments, and lectures. Al¬ though we did not succeed in splitting the atom or discovering a new element, we have managed to amuse ourselves. Mr. Mockler — Who’s using ' that laughing ' gas? Mr. Pucko — What does this signify? of Nature HS Strange outlandish sounds were often heard by students passing the physics laboratory, one school of thought maintained that it was the creeking of a hid¬ den torture rack. There were many other opinions nut it was later revealed that the noises were produced bv the students of physics who were performing their various experiments on levers, pulleys, horse power, electricity and the like. Under the able direction of Mr. Carl W. Staples, head of the science department and Mr. Aaroh Kipnes, our Biology students were constantly kept busy with the huge quantities of cadaverous subject matter that was continually passing in and out of the school. Through the able and patient guidance of our in¬ structors to whom we are deeply indebted we have managed to acquire a reasonable knowledge of the sciences. Mr. Staples — What makes the wheel go? Mr. Kipnes gets the specimen. What no lecture today? The Disciples Mr. Lowell — Let me see, does x really equal y? Ever since the “good old days when reading, writ¬ ing and “ ’rithmetic” were the big three of any school curriculum, varied in high school a bit with Algebra, French. Latin. Botany and the Arts, arithmetic has retained its importance and success in the program of any high school student, whether he aspires toward higher fields of education or not, whether the “ rith- metic be General Mathematics, Plane Geometry, Algebra 1 and 2, Math. Review, Analytic Geometry, Differential Galcules, Solid Geometry, Trigonometry, or Mechanical Drawing. Mr. O’Brien — It’s as plain as the nose on your face. Mr. Garvey — Who’s supporting - the blackboard? 24 4 of Socrates Not all students of Chelsea High have become acquainted with all of these imposing characters in the field of mathematics. However, they were originally all components in a course ot the Bellingham 1 ligh School that fitted out a senior boy for M. I. T. (The dream of every potential young mathematical genius!) I hrough the years the course has been markably expanded to be of use in many professions. Mathematics as it stands in the high schools today and as it is typically represented by the course given at Chelsea High School, is, in any or all of its various forms, a necessary and beneficial factor in a well devel¬ oped preparatory school background. The expert teaching of mathematics by the members of this department, besides enlightening and instructing a student in the heretofore dark and mysterious secrets of Solid Geometry or “frig” helps more than in any other subject to create and develop the powers ot quick, clear and logical thinking, a major factor in determining one’s success in later life. 25 U l 5? T mr 7 J Crjm In Crrandma s Watch the birdy! Hey watch that ball! If the modern outdoor type of girl had lived at the time during which her American grand¬ mother went to high school, she would cer¬ tainly find it hard to bear the prejudices and taboos that scorned any idea of a young woman in so undignified a recreation as ath¬ letics. However, as new ' methods of education were employed, and new unexplored fields were offered, the popular attitude was of a more broadminded nature and the course was finally listed on the Chelsea Senior High School in 1905. At first, the daily gymnasium consisted mainly of a vigorous program of calisthenics which probably were extremely helpful in acquiring that tiny waistline that had to be drawn in to the point of suffocation during, the earlier “gay nineties.” Gradually, how¬ ever, the idea of recreation was introduced into the classes, and modern games adopted. The classes of 47, 48, and 49, are indeed fortunate in being able to receive the course in physical training now taught. Everyone en¬ joys the frequent softball, basketball, and bad¬ minton contests, the action-packed game of volley ball, and the pointers” and practice they receive in modern dancing. This year also, the girls were fortunate in the arrival of an ambitious and capable new¬ comer to the faculty as their gym” director, Miss Sophia Brener. Under Miss Brener’s guidance, several new 7 modern games and activ¬ ities have been taken up, much to the delight of the girls, who detest the peal of the bell that summons them to their next classes. and Grandpa s Time Throw that ball! On your mark! “Mup, two, three, four; hup--!” Day after day, to the martial rhythm of the beating drums a small group of young men marched stiffly from one end of the school yard to the other. Occasionally they halted in formation long enough to respond to military commands such as “Present -Arms!” etc. Through the constant drill and practice they acquired as members of the Chelsea Senior High School Militray Battalion, founded in 1892, the stu¬ dents were taught the meaning of true mili¬ tary discipline. This was the first step toward the course of Physical Education that is carried on in the Chelsea High School today. The hours of ex¬ ercise they received while drilling and learn¬ ing military tactics, gave boys of The Chelsea High School nearly forty years ago, an oppor¬ tunity to exhibit their skill in attention and co-ordination. Membership on the football and basketball squads provided a chance for a student to shine on the athletic field. But not until the course in Physical Education was added was a class offered for the participation of all high school students in the regular body¬ building calisthenics, limbering-up practice in ladder walking and ropeclimbing, and inter¬ squad basketball games. With all the additions and modern methods of physical education, including “commando” training during the years of World War II, the daily “gym” class has been the one most eagerlv-awaited and well-attended class since the Chelsea High School “cadets” first went into their formation in 1892. Mr. McCarthy — Upsy-daisy! 27 Without a doubt, Auto Mechanics in the high school curriculum is the youngest ot the Manual Arts to have been introduced to the students. In fact, it was not until 1Q36 that the subject was actually adopted, for, before that time, it had probably been looked upon as a trade to be learned outside of school. However, as we grew more mod¬ ern and progressive, and the automobile be¬ came the predominant luxury as well as necessity in every day life, the need ot knowledge on the subject was realized. Now the young grease monkeys, Mr. Hagans proteges, have the time of their lives exam¬ ining, tearing apart, and reorganizing the vital organs ot an automobile. Woodworking, having had its beginning in the early days of America’s youth, when it was one of the most common and popular trades, has of course, longer standing in 1 he Chelsea Senior High School. As tar back as 1920, young men were taking pride, not only in their academic accomplishments, but in the work they were able to do with their hands, various pieces of furniture and knickknacks for “mother’s parlor,” or some other place where they would be shown off to best advantage. Mr. Jackson, with his class in woodworking is helping to keep alive that interest of working with one’s hands as well as learning to become a handy-man, too. A course in Printing had been added be¬ fore Auto Mechanics, completing the course now known as Manual Arts. Ever since printing was introduced, the students ot that course have been busier than anyone else in the school. This department was elected to print all the report carcis and warning cards used in the school. (A pleasant task, indeed!) as well as programs and other nec¬ essary items. This year they did especially fine work on the programs for the Senior Play, which added a great deal to the en¬ joyment of the play itself. Mr. Folsom and his hard-working boys deserve much credit for their contribution to the high school’s activities. The object of the course, to learn the fundamentals of printing, to¬ gether with the functions of the press, .is often an inspiration in choosing a career in later life. Mr. Hagan —It’s greasy in here! Mr. Jackson —Will this hold me? Mr. Folsom — I lost letter A! Practice for a Domestic Career Miss Johnson — Head of the cuisine Miss Wright — Everyone is in stitches! Fashion as well, has always had an important place in the lile of the average lass, one hundred years ago as well as now. I:very girl with a sense of thrift knows the economic value of being able to make or contribute to her own ward¬ robe. Under Miss Wright’s capable direction, the students of Sewing are taught the power of the needle, as well as the proper choice of complimentary steles, colors, and fabrics. Several times in the course of the ear. a becoming skirt or blouse is shown, mod¬ estly, to fellow-classmates as an example of a girl’s talent for sewing. The finished results of her labor also serve as a proof of the excellent instruction received in this craft. Miss Carr — Modern design The way to a man’s heart is through his stomach! This old adage has certainly proved true and has been em¬ ployed to the advantages of designing young ladies ever since they have taken up the noble art. Although voung women had been learning the tricks of the trade from their hopeful mothers long before our high school was founded, the science of Domestic Arts was not introduced until [90S when the first wing of our present building was erected. From then on however, cooking has been one of the favorite subjects and passers-by have been delighted with the appe¬ tizing aromas of all types of dishes wafting through the doors of Miss Johnson’s cooking room. Of course, culinary art and management of the home go hand in hand, and the students of cooking receive valuable instruction in both. The Fine Arts - - Then and Now Music of the Immortals Originality in Creation The appreciation of great music, both in the interpreting of the outstanding typical works of the world’s greatest composers, and in the study of musical instruments and the part each one plays in its own outstanding way in the presentation of some great work, has always been a major factor in culture. A ‘Music High School” connected with the Chelsea High School of Low’s Hall, was held twice weekly in the old City Hall as early as 1852, for this very purpose. 1 ' his, as well as Music Harmony, is imparted to an eager group of students who sit enraptured each day, listening to the inspiring strains of the great classics, behind the closed doors of Mrs. Minard’s music room. Here, through the study of music in gen¬ eral, as well as its three main sections, rhythm, melody, and harmony, Mrs. Minard, with her valuable and well-informed instruction, has inspired a love of music, never before realized, in all her pupils. Last, but decidedly not least, is freehand drawing. This subject is found to be the oldest of all, lor it was among the very few first taught at Low’s Hall, just one hundred years ago. As long as man is given an opportunity to investigate and employ his God-given talents, there have been ways for him to express himself. Here, in Room 304, Miss Kohlrausch gives this opportunity to every pupil in her art class. Every project taken up, in the study of color harmony, symmetry, and balance, provides some chance for the student to exhibit his individual tahnts. The most outstanding achievement of the year was the work done in connection with the centennial celebration of the high school. The highly amusing and de¬ scriptive posters for the various activities served more than anything else to call to mind the one hun¬ dredth birthday of our school, as well as the contrast between the “Fads” of teen-agers at that time and now. 30 In Memoriam --TT i ajgg t km � .wms ' 8 W ' « «� cwsaitu . :§rf $ mmmmmm. ym xwmxwvM: .... ■ W mm k , , $ a uT: %$ SgfS • .v .vvr -j ... - - In honor of the many (Chelsea Senior High School graduates who valiantly served their coun¬ try in a time ol great need, and in memory of the multitude of these who did not return, we are proud to be in possession of this memorial which effectively, though silently, pays tribute to these heroes. 31 Echoes of 32 the Years For almost half a century, these halls and stairways have echoed with the footsteps of the Chelsea High students, eager to obtain a bet ter seat at assembly, or perhaps lagging a bit, to put off that oral talk as long as possible. Qdroosh 3 n - -S ' Watch it — you’ll trip! 33 Our Student “Of the students, by the students, and for the students.” This always has been the motto of the Senior Council, who each year contribute a great part to the success of the many activities of the senior class. After perhaps one of the busiest and most eventful senior years of the century, with the guidance and hard work of our senior officers, advisors, and council, we will o graduate with an unforgettable year always remaining in our hearts. By common popularity and meritorious record two veterans from last year’s junior council were elected again and have lived up to their reputa¬ tion of outstanding service in behalf of their fellow students. They are Eldric Barry who is our popular president and who answers to no other name but “Dickie,” and Elizabeth McCann, our industrious little secretary, who also turns up her pretty nose at anything but “Betty.” Sharing the job of man¬ aging the affairs and problems of the seniors are Anthony “Tony” Andreadis, our hard working vice-president, and Fred Savignano, who 34 Government capably handles all our financial business as our Treasurer. The obvious success of all the activities our class has un¬ dertaken and held this year are due, for the most part, to the deep interest and wise council of our patient and helpful ad¬ visors, Mr. O’Brien, and the Senior Council, consisting of one boy and girl chosen to represent each room. Through the hard work and interest taken by these capable representatives all our projects have been outstanding successes, such as the football rally, the senior play, the proms and all other affairs pertain¬ ing to the school. With souvenirs of the memorable affairs of our senior year ringing in our ears and flashing in our mind, we extend our deepest gratitude to this group for helping to make these events possible.

General Course. In Retirement We were very sorry to learn that Mr. Patrick Gaffney had retired from his position of truant officer. From October 1910 when he first came to Chelsea High to September 1947 when his retirement officially took effect, Mr. Gaffney was a diligent and most capable worker. One would think that a truant officer would be unpopular with most of the students, but not Mr. Gaffney. His jovial and genial Irish personality was a bright spot in Chel¬ sea High School. And oh, he was Irish allright. Why, one of his most out¬ standing traits was his definite Irish humor, and just try to say anything against Ireland! Also, by seme strange coincidence he was born on March 17th, Saint Patrick’s Day. We all appreciate his fine work, for it was through his excellent work that truancy in the Chelsea schools was kept down to a minimum. We all thank you very much, Mr. Gaffney, and we send to you all the best wishes for good luck and happiness in your retirement. 69 Fifty Years 70 of Sports Although the old gridiron or basketball court may look different and many newly-devised plays seem unfamiliar, we are sure that our fathers and their old classmates share the same spirit of excitement with us as we sit on the edge of our seats, watching thrilling spectacles, sports that have been part of Chelsea’s extra curricular activities for more than half a century. Leading the team to victory 71 h ' The Red Devils Gene Macomber Eli Cohen g; Until the wholesome “bustling” period of the “gay nineties,” lack of interest hindered any progress in athletic activities. Before then the aspirations of young men preparing to further their education in business, technical, or scientific fields, rose no higher than college and preparation for it in high school. By 1891, how¬ ever, brains made place lor brawn in school activities, and the currently popular ;ame of football was taken up, along with basketball. Since the first football team was organized and the spirit of team-play that was typical of the “Red and Black” kept alive for more than half a century, the high school eleven has had its share of victories and defeats, glorious triumphs and bitter losses. But the team spirit, which is revived by the optimistic rooters of the Red Devils each season, will remain as long as there is a Chelsea High School football squad. Coach Henry McCarthy’s 1947 football team opened this season, as usual, against a strong and power¬ ful veteran Lynn team. Although the small, inexperienced Chelsea team was highly outclassed, and Chelsea defeated, 42-7, several players, among them “Red” Morovitz, “Red” Mitchell, “Mike” Opolko and Lou Cosco, were outstanding and promised the performance of some excellent playing in the rest of the season. In the next game, Somerville at Chelsea, the “Red Devils” completely outplayed the visitors and beat them in every aspect except the score. Mike Opolko grounded out yardage again and again and Joe Leo- nardi played fine defensive at center, breaking through the Somerville lines again and again to drop the backs in their tracks. The final score was Somerville 19—Chelsea 0. Against Revere, Chelsea was without its outstanding fullback, Mike Opolko, replaced by Bob Finnigan, Mike Opolka Joe Bevere Burton Feldman Who’s g’onna catch the ball? FOOTBALL Chelsea 7 .

Joe Bevere with a number of long punts kept Chelsea out of trouble, while Red Mitchell made a spectacular 33-yard run. However, the efforts of the players were to no avail as Chelsea was on the short end of a 32-0 score. The next game, played at night, brought Saugus to the Everett Avenue stad¬ ium. Saugus had to fight for every yard it gained and with a better pass defen¬ sive, Chelsea might have stopped the Saugus offense. Joe Bevere and Mike Opolko were once more in the spotlight before Saugus ground out an 18 to 0 score sending Chelsea to its fourth defeat. The next week, the team traveled to the South Shore to play Durfee. Again without the service of Mike Opolko, out because of a leg injury, Billy Moore substituted him well. Gene Macomber, a sophomore at right half, made long gains through the Durfee line on straight backs. Martin. Walezewski, Feldman, and Bellofatto stood out in the Chelsea line. Chelsea lost, 12 to 7. The next clash, with Worcester Trade at Worcester exhibited the performance of Libandus, the 230- pound halfback who caught a number of passes and showed up a rather weak pass defense. Worcester won 33-6. Late in the game Opolko passed 20 yards to Bevere, who proceeded from the Worcester 10 yard line for the score. Billy Cole made a run and would have scored if one of his own players hadn’t gotten in his way. The next outfit to come to Chelsea was Wakefield. Confident of a win, they were no doubt surprised when they were upset at 20-6 by an aggressi.e Chelsea team.

At half game time, Chelsea, leading 7 to 6 was still not too over-confident but early in the third, Joe Bevere romped 15 yards for another touchdown. In the closing minutes of the game, Opolko threw a 40-yard pass into the arms of George Rapchuck, who made a spec¬ tacular catch in the end zone. In this game the whole Chelsea team and the subs played exceptionally well. The following week during the Lawrence game at Chelsea stadium, Blanger and Tuffine of the Lawrence backfield were the main cause of Chelsea’s defeat. The score was Lawrence 27, Chelsea 7. Opolko scored on a line back which went from the 7 yard line of Lawrence into the end zone. Martin place-kicked the extra point. Coach McCarthy started a group of second stringers in the game against Arlington. They included Barry at end, Cohen at tackle, and Greene at guard. In the first few minutes, after Barry had recovered a fumble, Opolko dropped back and threw a 40-yard pass into the out¬ stretched arms of Billy Kurland who moved into the end zone for the score. At the end of a 60-yard drive against the Arlington first team, Rubenstein plunged over on one of his patented quarterback sneaks. This drive was high¬ lighted by some fine running by Cole who, when being tackled would lateral to “Budsy” Houghton who would go for extra yardage. Amid these plays, Arlington rolled up a 23-13 score. fhe next week Medford, one of the most powerful teams in the state entered the stadium and with the out¬ standing running of McTague, Parris, and Kelly, brought defeat on the Red Devils, 27-6. Don Martin played well Coach Henry McCarthy 74 i and in the Present and scored on a pass from Joe Bevere in the last minute of the game. Eddie Gar- rity played well on the defensive, making several tackles. Everett High, the traditional turkey day rival, entered the stadium and proceeded to roll up a score of 18 to 0 before the Red Devils could get started. 1 heir plays were an off-tackle play, worked out of the “ Y formation, and mouse trap play that went through the middle of the Chelsea line. In the second half, the Chelsea line suddenly became the superior force and held up the Everett offensive. During the third period. Cole caught a pass that bounded out of the hands of an Everett player, which was caught by Bevere and traveled 30 yards in air whic h was taken by Cole 30 yards for Chelsea’s first touchdown. “Budsy” Hough¬ ton made a run that swept an Everett end for 15 yards. Rubenstein, Opolko, and Joe Bishop, who had returned to action, were outstanding, as well as Leonardi and Feld¬ man who burst out of their guard slots to make a number of tackles. The final score: Everett 20, Chelsea 6, sent home a mixed crowd of triumphant Everett fans and de¬ jected Chelseans, vowing vengeance in the next season. And so it goes, as it has gone through the years, with each team benefit- ting by the experiences of their predecessors. Stop that man you devils!! Come on you loyal rooters!

On paper the past season does not look very impressive but a careful analysis reveals that the season was not completely a failure, with prospects for the next two years the brightest they have been in a long time. From the outset it was acknowledged that the Red Devils would not be the best team in th e league. There were only two lettermen from 1946, both sub¬ stitutes who saw very little action. The second team material was mediocre. Coach Nechtem’s hope lay in the sophomores who had played outstanding ball ey played. it years ago. in the junior highs. I he only drawback was the lack of experience, for these boys were pitted against such sea¬ soned outfits as Revere, Medford, Brockton, Somerville. Everett and Lowell. It would have been little short of miraculous had the Chelsea hoopsters compiled an outstanding record against this competition. The Devils came close to creating this miracle several times during the season. Twice the home quintet came close to toppling Somerville, the league champs, from the undefeated ranks. On both occasions the Croninmen staged their famous last minute comebacks to subdue the Red Devils. In their lone appearance at the Boston Garden the team lost a heartbreaker to Revere because of their failure to capitalize on free throws, an ailment which plagued them through the entire season. In at least four out of the eight games lost the failure to complete foul shots was the deciding factor between victory and defeat. In 14 games played the Devils tallied 16i goals and 101 free throws out of 257 attempted for 423 points.

The picture for the future leans towards optimism. Only three men will be lost from the regular varsity. They are John Killeen, Herb Kriteman and Don Martin. Return¬ ing next year will be Captain Bob Toltz, George Kornack, Paul Sampson, Morton Padolskv and Henry Greene. The sopho¬ mores are A1 Rubenstein, Gene Macomber, Bob Smith and Bill Bitensky who were var¬ sity players. Other promising players who played for the second team are Bob Fin¬ negan, Paul Bright, Dan Egnet, John Kirby, Bernie Sudikoff, Phil Cohen and A1 Fried¬ man. Captain John Killeen, returned navy vet, turned in many brilliant performances dur¬ ing the season. His excellent boardwork and ball handling in the back court sparked the team on many occasions. The second team compiled a brilliant rec¬ ord in Greater Boston League competition. Their final record was 10 wins and 3 losses. The whole school’s watching Their average was 30 points per game. The opposition scored 35 points per game, outscor- ing Chelsea by 5 points per game. On two occasions the team was drubbed by 25 points. These severe beatings were administered by Medford and Brockton. One very noticeable thing was the lack of a consistent high scorer. fop honors for scor¬ ing went to Captain-elect Bob Toltz who tal¬ lied 99 points during the season. This total averaged but 7 points per game. Make that basket pleeeeze!! They Cheer Us On Rain or shine, this group of vivacious, energetic girls were always on the job, carrying the support of en¬ thusiastic rooters and cheering their team on to victory. On the day of a big game, the group could always be seen, crowding on the buses or trudging along to the football field, recognized from afar as the cheer leaders of Chelsea High School in their brilliant costumes ol white sweaters and bright red skirts, and their amplifiers tightly pressed under their arms. No matter what the weather threatened, or the inconvenience of distance offered in reaching their destina- Front row — Left to right: Marie Voke, Co-Captain; Lois Goodman, Captain; Betty McCann, Peggy (folding.

With pride we give honorable mention to the squad of “atomic bombshells” that help to spur our 1947 teams on to both actual and moral victories, on the field and in the basketball court. And with the veteran support of this year’s juniors, together with some of the most energetic sophomores, we hope that next year’s cheering squad will as wholeheartedly fulfill their task of encouraging victory for Chelsea as our girls have. 79 Remember the 80 Night The night when all ugly ducklings of Chelsea High, including Juniors, and even a handful of the humble Sophomores seemed to blossom into a throng of sophisti¬ cated socialites; the night when the frag¬ rance of sweet flowers and the rustle of skirts seemed to drive away all vision of bobby sox and sport shirts; the night that would always be a souvenir among our school-day memories; the night of our prom! Our leading couple — President Barry and his senior prom date 81 From Sedate Walts Gee ain’t this fun! ' ‘Oh, how we danced on the night of our prom!” The mark of the Zodiac pointed to the night of January 31, 1947, the debut of every potential Johnnie Fedora and Alice Blue Bonnet at the Chelsea Senior High School. During the hustling activity of mad last minute preparations, the strains of the currently popular “hits” buzzed in the ears of the 1947 beaus and belles, just as the young people of many years ago probably hummed “Seeing Nellie Home,” while getting ready to make their debut at the major social event of the season. Many reminders of those first happy social evenings at Chelsea High School, which originated with the friendly get-togethers and receptions held at the home of the principal of the Bellingham Fligh School, have been brought home to present-day seniors through the many descriptive posters throughout the school. These amusing scenes depict the arrival at the prom years ago, of an old-fashioned young couple in a quaint old horse and buggy. As years passed and knowledge made place for great new inventions, more convenience was added to their method of transportation for “the night.” The shining array of sleek new roadsters and coupes parked before the doors of Chelsea High on the evenings of the Prcm and later the Senior Reception were a far cry from the old- style horse and buggy, but the same high spirit of excitement was there. The earlier gatherings for the purpose of rous¬ ing a strong support and confident spirit in the annual Turkey Day “grid” contests found their counterpart also this year in the football rally. This annual dance with the lively and lilting What a change from bobby sox. 82 Shocking Miss C. H. S. of 75 years ago. music of Danny Lewis’ orchestra succeeded in giving our team the spirit they needed to put up a terrific fight against their powerful opponent. The same amazing transformation was due to occur once more before we left Chelsea High. The crowning event of the social season, our Senior Reception, with the great success of all our previous affairs, promised to be the most eventful evening of the senior year. For weeks beforehand, faces of seniors glowed with confident, thrilled expectancy or with eager, expressions of hope. The time flew by until, in spite of carefully made plans, everything seemed to have been left until the last minute. From bobby socks to billowy skirts and from “T” shirts to tux¬ edos was quite a transformation! I laving finally arrived at the beautiful ballroom, we were told by the very at¬ mosphere that this would be a night to remember, and it was! in addition to these events that highlighted the social life of the senior year, were several other successful affairs. The Junior Prom was equally as sue;essful, and not a bit less elaborate with the glittering display of gowns, flowers, tuxedos and music. As the dancers swayed to the sentimental tunes, each couple in turn paid their respects to the dignified reception committee. Fntertainment in the way of dancing was offered for the juniors, and even the sophomores bv the many informal dances. Each Wednesday afternoon, the Intramural department sponsored record dances in the gym, and every Friday night the legion was open to teen agers with a fondness for “cutting rugs” and the fox-trot, most of them of Chelsea High. Reminiscing in years to come, with the help of a pressed corsage, some other souvenir, or merely the men¬ tion of a certain popular song, every senior will recall those memorable events at Chelsea High. The big night of our junior days 83 Our tit Following the example set by preceding classes for many years, the Juniors once more employed some of their newly acquired au¬ thority in electing class officers together with the Junior Council. They started “on the right foot” by being able to have as their ad¬ visor, Mr. Ridge, a long-popular counsellor and favorite, as well. By popular vote, after a close finish, the results were: President, Michael Hajinlian; Vice-President, William A4oore; Secretary, Nancy Sar- tini, and Treasurer, Jeanette Letizia. With leadership such as this, and with the advice, suggestions, and careful planning of the Junior Council, made up of one boy and one girl from each room, the year was a huge success for the Juniors, both scholastically and in the “extracurricular vein. Among many 84 Runner-Ups other things regarding school functions accomplished, the class rings for the year of 1948 were selected and the main event of the social season planned, the Junior Prom. The wholehearted interest of the Junior Class, supported by the cooperative spirit of the Junior Council in taking care of major issues and events of the year, were the factors that made it possible for the Juniors, even as they were about to cross over the threshold to importance and superiority as Seniors of Chelsea High School, to look back on their second year of “high ' ’ as ne of the “best years of their lives!

What a handicap it must have been, one hundred years ago, for the unfortunate victims of accidents to be subject to so many dangers and being even more seriously injured before the n ecessary doctor’s care could be brought! Mow many more lives might have been saved or injuries correctly mended, had the beneficial use of First Aid been practiced! Since many new improvements in science and medicine have been developed, we, in our clay and age, have been more fortunate, in being able to receive education in the vital subjects, together with the usual school studies. But in this modern fast moving age when there is even more occasion for sudden accidents to occur, par¬ ticularly at times when no immediate medical aid can be obtained, we have learned to assume full responsibility, in such a case, in treating the victims ourselves. And thanks to the capable and conscientious direction of Dr. William L. Stone and Miss Sophia A. Brener, the First Aid classes receive all the training in mastering the art of bandaging, the treatment of major and minor injuries, and artificial respiration, necessary for them to receive. Are you sure it isn’t ketchup! Hey, where’s the road, Mr. McCarthy? after twenty hours of the course, the coveted Red Cross certificate. Another advantage of modern living which was first considered a luxury and later a necessary aid to conve¬ nience is the ability to maneuver the automobile. Through the experienced and expert instruction of Mr. Francis D. Garvey and Mr. Henry H. McCarthy, as well as the abundant supply of helpful hints and vital rules contained in the book, “Man and the Motor Car,” completers of the Auto Driving course in Chelsea High School, are fully equipped, mentally to “take the reins.” After completing their study of the fundamentals of Auto Driving, the stu¬ dents of the course even are the proud possessors of a certificate which signifies exemption from taking the re¬ quired oral examination of traffic rules. It is indeed a contrast between a century ago, when young people or even adults were able to travel conveniently only in rural or suburban sections, by horse, and today, with visions of future air transportation for all, when it is a common occurrence for young people to take the wheel even before graduation from high school. Miss Brenner — Look she isn’t breathing! Student Disciplinarians Keep to the right please! Our chief policeman Mr. Anderson One of the greatest of our “necessary evils” is that popular group of young men known as our Traffic Squad. Chosen by watchful teachers with an eye for ability and power to keep their fellow-classmates in order while thronging through the spacious corridors, these boys have done a praiseworthy job of fulfilling their task, i hey are also outstanding for their popu¬ larity among pupils and teachers, and must have a satisfactory scholastic record. During the second half of the year, seme juniors are even granted the honor of serving on the squad as training for their senior year. From the time when they enter the Chelsea High School and are chosen by the teachers as candidates for the 1 raffic Squad to maintain order in the halls, the cafeteria, and at various school functions, to the day they graduate, these boys do more than any in¬ dividual in the high school to keep the discipline and order of the high school at respectably high standards.

Balcony angels — watch their halos glitter Those minute particles of humanity, the sophomores shivered in their saddle oxfords and loafers as they crept along to school on September 4. “Oh how 1 wish 1 were back at Shurtleff!” The big, brick building frowned upon those “measly” creatures. “Hurry up — you ' ll be late, it’s 8:29,” creaked the vacant windows, “Hurry up! Hurry up!” The poor addled brains pondered over the mystery of the missing room numbers. “Where’s my room — 1 want my room!” Along strolled a BIG senior and smugly gloated, “Say little sophy — you want your room — go take the left corridor to the right door bv the black picture near the angled elevator.” Weeks later a little sophomore was found starved, cringing and deliriously crying—“Where’s the elevator?” Ah. now, let’s deal with those lucky juniors, the neither here nor there girls and boys. These are the for¬ tunate students. These are the ones who are so close to the lunch room that they need only stroll down. These are the ones who dance in May at their Prom and these are the females who even go to the Great Senior Prom. Ah. fortunate youngsters, too juvenile to shoulder the weighty problems of the seniors and too acclimated to the ways of the school to shiver at the thought of Miss B who never gives an A and Mr. Z who always keeps you after for a sneeze. Ah ves. these are the lives of the sophs and juniors, but cheer up and be gay. In June, you juniors will move on to the senior corridor paved with the footprints of those aspiring, intelligent seniors who preceded vou and ou little sophomores, once more will have something to eat at lunch time. Worthy Successors 88 Le Cercle Francais In 1930 Le Cercle Francais was organized by the late Miss Maude F. Mitchell, head of the French department. Miss Mitchell founded the club for the purpose of showing pupils how highly interesting and informative a knowl¬ edge of French can be. During the second world war Le Cercle Francais was forced to disband because of the many other activities of war that the pupils had. With the return of peace the club was again started and once again a new world of long wages was opened to the students of French. The meetings of the 1946-47 season consisted of literary selections, amusing playlets, classi¬ cal and modern music. During the winter the club members went to a French restaurant to enjoy the cuisine and atmosphere. At each meeting the roll was called and answered by either a French proverb or greeting of the sea¬ son and not by the usual “ici.” Le Cercle Francais is under the direction.of Miss Frances M.

Among our records of the school’s history, the one on which we have the most information is the account of our high school band and orchestra. We find that the first school spirit in the organization of a band made up strictly of high school students was shown as far back as twenty-six years ago. After the call for volunteers for the band was issued, the impressive number of seven pupils was recruited for a band that played at all the school functions and commencements. It was not until two years later that our present director of music, Alexander E. Cleary and the I lead- master at that time, Mr. Wingate, worked diligently together to raise sufficient means for purchasing dis¬ tinctive band uniforms for the members. The uni¬ forms were to consist of bright red sweaters with a black lyre on the chest and white pants with red stripes, and four years ago every member of the band was given a sweater when he graduated. At that time also, in addition to the widely praised performances of mar- Majorette leaders, left to right: Theresa Arsenault, Captain, and Katherine Barry, Co-captain. Our majorettes colorfully leading the way. of Music tial music at assemblies, parades, and athletic contests, Mr. Cleary first decided to try classical music for the band. Since then many have shown hearty ap¬ proval of the stress on music of a more classical nature in the band. On this one hundredth birthday of high school, we find that the members of the band have increased to 47, including the attractive and spirit-rousing drum majorettes, who show their enthusiasm and school spirit by their rigorous leadership of the band. Through the cooperation of the band members and the faculty, and the support of our Junior Master, Mr. Cotter, Mr. Cleary has succeeded, as Band¬ master, in creating out of a tiny group of inexperienced musicians, a musical body that, through its spirited musical support at the high school’s various functions, holds its place among those who have contributed greatly to the suc¬ cess of the C entennial year of the Chelsea High School. ORCHESTRA An orchestra in the Chelsea High School was also organ¬ ized about the same time as the band. Before that time the greater part of musical interest was taken up with a glee club and singing in the choir. Even the graduations were accom¬ panied merely by a piano, but after 1912, the newly-organized Chelsea Senior High School Orchestra was chosen to play at all school affairs. This year, under the patient and capable leadership of Mr. Cleary, the high school orchestra has reached standards higher than any other previously set by former musical groups, and is indeed improved since the time of its founding.

Bv “stars” we mean the cast of the senior play, “A DATE WITH JUDY,” which w as presented to a full house. Each actor shone in his own way and everyone was a star. As the plot was unfolded on the stage w ; e felt that the characters portrayed were real persons and the situations true to life. Judy and her girl friend, Barbara, w ' ere determined to lick the slacks off 1 ootsie Whiteman by soliciting subscriptions to the Community Relief Fund. They entered a whole raft of contests as a means of raising some quick money, using the names of their parents and friends. After disastrous results, Judy, still undefeatable, concocted a “true confession” story entitled, “1 am a Bigamist.’’ Unfortunately the script got mixed up with Mrs. Foster’s speech to the P.-T. A., and after a rousing scene between Judy and her theatrically-minded friend. Mitzi Hoffman, trying to interest Mr. Martindale, a producer in their talents as actresses, Mrs. Schultz of the P.-T. A. swept in, waving the manuscript and demanding that Mrs. Foster resign from their organization! Gee, ain’t that interesting! Don’t strike me, you brute! With Judy J Oh, Oogie, you send me! Life can be beautiful. If it only were!! On top of this, Judy was heartbroken the night of the big dance — not only because Tootsie was to be Queen of the dance — but because, worst of all, she believed she had lost Oogie to Tootsie, as well. However, before the evening was over, the whole misunderstanding was cleared up, and after a last-minute mad rush, she went to the dance with Oogie, and believe it or not, she was crowned Queen, too, in place of Tootsie! Other boys and girls who devoted much of their valuable time and talent to “A DATE WITH JUDY” are those who served on the various committees, the extremely attractive candy girls, the commendable ushers, and the members of Danny Lewis’ orchestra who played during the intermissions. There were always those, behind the scenes, who contributed to making the play the outstanding success it was. One person is Miss Marguerite A. Bligh, who devoted all her time and worked tirelessly to produce a per¬ fect job. Many afternoons she held rehearsals until 6:30 in the evening, in order to perfect the play. Many bouquets and thanks are in order for Miss Bligh. and she can readily list “A DATE WITH JUDY” with her other numerous successes. USHERS AND CANDY GIRLS First row, left to right: B. Goglia, S.

Our distinguished advisor, Mr. Max E. Stewart The hard-boiled editors, left to right: Phyllis Kaufman, Ruth Goldberg 1 , Doris Muller. The time: 1893; the place: The Carey School; the event: the birth of the Beacon. It was in that school which then served as the high school that the Beacon was born, but it came into existence under the name of the Beaconnette, for at that time it was published as a quarterly newspaper and sold for twenty-five cents. It contained mostly humorous incidents, current events, a little gossip, and told of the progress of various school organizations. It was a far cry from the Beacon of today. Gradually, the Beaconette progressed until it be¬ came a magazine and finally, a yearbook. Now, under the able guidance of Mr. Max E. Stewart the yearbook has become, we think, one of the finest publications of its kind in this district. This year the picture editors, Phyllis Kaufman and Ruth Goldberg, rushed helter-skelter through the cor¬ ridors after camera-man Nat Miller, taking pictures here, there, and everywhere. “Names, pictures, checking, and rechecking, gee whiz, won’t this ever be done?” was mournfully uttered. Next our copy editor, Doris Mul¬ ler, bought herself a new set of pencils, sharpened them, and sat down to pages upon pages of arduous copy cor- 94 Through the Ages recting. Her repeated question was “Where’s your copy? if it wasn’t ready, it was just too bad for you. Do you mean to say that it isn’t ready yet?” And We also gained helpful assistance from o ir three able secretaries. Flora Kaplan. Marcia Davis, and Cor- inne Bragman. These three pounded away on the keys of their typewriters, working like wizards trying to help us beat that deadline. Next, our ad department, under the direction of Max Rabinovitz, scoured the neighborhood in search of advertising. By means of their genial personalities and their cordial. Chelsea High School manner, they man¬ aged to bring in a whole flock of them. We mustn’t forget to thank the yearbook representatives and the con¬ tributing editors for their much needed and worthy assistance. And last, but not least, we send a a rea t bR heart) thank you to Joe Vesowate, who was everything from messenger bov to baggage say thanks to you, Joe. for quite a few jobs well done. carrier.
