Dowel, who for a periocl of eleven years has con- tributed to the success of Classical High School, by his efficiency in producing with clock-like regularity a series of victorious athletic teams, by his faithful teaching in the department of Science, and by his daily demonstration of those qualities which characterize the true gentleman,- we dedicate this volume as a partial tribute of our sincere appreciation. in E I 1 X N N P x n ww.. AFTERMATH BOARD Ehitnrfa lfllnrvmnrh The Editorial Board has endeavored to chronicle in this edition the events of our four years in Classical and especially those of this past year. The work of the Board has been considerably lightened by the new competitive system of membership, whereby the greater portion of the work was accomplished before the Board was actually chosen. Each article has been carefully reviewed, and it is hoped that this volume will stand as a link binding our class of nineteen-twenty to the dear old C. H. S. in future years. Psppreriatiun The Editor extends his personal thanks and that of the AFTER- MATH Board to all who have aided in the compiling of this volume. Special gratitude is forthcoming to Miss Helen D. Marshall, who has directed, with her customary efficiency, the work in the Art Depart- mentg to Mr. Perry S. Howe, who has been an invaluable aid to the Editorial Boardg to lVlr. George B. O'Flynn, who contributed so much to the success of the Business Boardg and to Puzant Tomajan, through whose untiring efforts our class holds the honor of having exceeded all past records for the amount of advertising received.

Enmnavnh In the history of the public schools of Worcester, it may well be doubted if anyone has ever excelled the period of service rendered by our revered teacher, Miss Townsend. Entering the pedagogical profession in I869 after graduating from Classical and, since that time, serving largely in the Worcester schools, chiefly in Classical High, she has won a merited reputation. Averse to publicity, she has pursued her course, faithfully, efficiently and without ostentation. A gifted student of the Classics, she has of recent years, given personal attention to college prepara- tory pupils, particularly in Greek. For the past two years, without public compen- sation due to the teachers' retirement law, she has devoted herself gratuitously to instruction in this school. The class of l920 honors her and extends to her this token of appreciation. 'JE , WESLEY H. HATHAWAY mvnleg 1-I.

For the past four years we have all looked forward to this day with a great deal of eager anticipation, but, now' that it is here, a shade of sorrow steals over us, for we must soon part with our schoolmates and the teachers of our' high school days. We are about to enter upon life at a period which has never been surpassed in the history of the world, a condition of society which affords us limitless opportun- ities and exacts from us inexorable obligations. It is toward this goal of reconstruc- tive achievement that we have worked ungrudgingly for the past four years. But let it not be forgotten that it would be impossible to prepare ourselves for the immense task which yet lies before us were it not for you, our parents and teachers. You are the ones who have striven and struggled in order that we might attain this goal, your patience has won the victory, and our glory is largely your own. Though we can never repay you, our teachers, for your invaluable aid, and you, parents, to whom we turned when strength and spirit was needed most to carry on our task, we trust that our future successes will give further mark of our appreciation. Once more I extend to you a most sincere welcome to these our class clay exercises. MARY JOANNA FOLEY Efhe Epi: nf 15211 One glorious September day, four years ago, a large group of boys and girls gathered in this very hall, and then and there took place the first class meeting of '20B, although no one recognized that fact. Everyone was suffering with chattering teeth, yet the day was very warm. It was a clear case of fear at first sight. Soon we were assigned to sitting-rooms, and then began the many and varied happenings of the Class of ,20B. Contrary to our expectations, no one told us to use the ele- vator, or that Mr. Post held his classes in the drawing-room. The first few weeks passed, and we began to feel the Classical spirit. Then came our first class meeting, when almost everyone in the class was nominated for some office-and each nomi- nee was sure of at least one vote,-his own. However, Thomas Counihan was elected president, Agnes Riley, vice-president, Nehamah Freed, secretary, and Richard Whitcomb, treasurer. After this, except for winning a few championships fwe won every one that yearl, we went on in the even tenor of our way. Our debating team, made up of David Seder, Harold Siegel, and Herman Aisenberg, began to show its merit, the Aletheia and Eucleia began to gather up a few of us, and, little by little, we mastered the elements of Algebra, English and the languages. We always were a hard-working class. Then came the Aletheia Play, HNathan Hale, and for the first time in many years freshmen appeared on the boards. The girls' basketball team also got a good start, and many of our stars, notably Mabel Stead, Alice M. Barrett, and Peg Mahoney, wrere discovered. At last came Class Day, and though many of the class fespecially those with red hairl did not care for the orange and white, nevertheless, we arrived decked out from head to toe. We soon found out that freshmen were'made to mournnifor their captured colors. At length, after ten months of hard work, of getting acquainted with the school, the faculty, and each other, our freshman year was ended. A year of play and work, fortune and misfortune. lVlr. Goodwin, our beloved principal, resigned, and Mr. Porter, with whom we have been so pleasantly associated, was installed in his place. Of course, we felt grieved when vacation was at hand, but, nevertheless, we bore up under our hard luck, and left school in June determined to be on hand the first day of school in September. When we came back at length after a joyous summer, we found the building in its former position, and again we moved into new sitting rooms down nearer to the earth, and as a result more of us arrived in school on time. This year's officers were David Seder, president, Agnes Riley, vice-president, Nehamah Freed, sec- retary: and Richard Whitcomb, treasurer. Now we began to take a greater part 22 THE A F TERMA TH in the school life. Our studies were harder, but we were much brighter than ever before. Our geometry teacher told us that we were terrible, but not any worse than usual. Poor Caesar's commentaries were murdered again, and we felt that upartes tres was too conservative a figure with which to measure his Gaul. Our English was not much harder, so we rejoiced and were glad, for after this year, there were only two more until graduation. On account of the coal shortage, we first went to school in the Masonic Temple and Boys' Club, and then to Commercial High. Our debating team, the same as in our freshman year. progressed well and came onward, ever onward, as did our athletes, both boys and girls. Our beloved Mr. Reidy passed away at this time, and his loss left a vacant place in the school. Miss Gaillard, one of our sitting room teachers, left us to become Mrs. Haven D. Brackett. This spring a Red Cross Club was formed, and much work was accom- plished. Another Class Day came, and again we tried our luck, this year at bothering the freshmen. At last another graduation day came, and with it the news of Miss Jefts' resignation. No wonder we had the blues! Another year's vacationg and then our Junior year! The beginning of the end! We were graduated down to the first floor, where we were wished onto Messrs. Rice and Farnsworth, and both began to pray for the summer. The boys now wore long trousers, and the girls had their hair up. Oh, we were getting along into life! We had our third election, and Wesley Mellquist was elected president, Agnes Riley, vice-president, Nehamah Freed, secretary, and Richard Whitcomb, trasurer. Our debating team, David Seder, Harold Seigel, and Hyman Berlyn, won a debate over the crack senior team, which had held the championship since its freshman. year. Nothing was too good for us after that. Our boys were taking part in all athletics, and our girls won many games. In January came the Junior Prom, the first of our class affairs. It was highly successful. The Class Games came, and again the orange and white were predominant. Our Class Picnic was held at Whalom, and a most enjoyable affair it was. Everyone turned out in full force, and the first entirely class affair was a great success. Our committee deco- rated for the Senior class day and graduation, and so, with a feeling of duty well done, we parted the best of friends for the summer. Seniors to be! Oh, grand and glorious feeling! Our last year opened auspiciouslyC?J with a day of pouring rain. This did not dampen our spirits at all, for it's always good weather when good friends get together. The Class Elections brought forth a new president, David Seder, Agnes Riley was still vice-president, Margaret Foley was our new secretary, and Richard Whitcomb was the treasurer. This year our Economic Club began to meet in Mr. Rice's room. Allen Brown captained our football team. The Aletheia gave several parties, which were attended by most of the class. The famous Senior CLASSICAL HIGH .SCHOOL 23 auto-truck sleighride came next. That night in Holden will long be remembered, especially by those in the first truck coming home. With many misgivings, we awaited the Senior Prom on April l6, but when it took place, it was one of the successes of the year. Now we began to plan for a minstrel show, and then for a play. However, owing to the lateness of the season, the necessity of the leading man's taking part in the Amherst Cup Debate, and the baseball season, all plans had to be given up. Cur aftermath committees were chosen, and both were very efficient, Under the slogan of Go get that ad, Thomajan and his satellites procured over S800 worth of advertising. Many said we were planning a business directory. Meanwhile our debating team, made up of Walter MacAdam, Hyman Berlyn, Aven Levenson, and Jacob Yanofsky, won the Amherst cup, this being the second successive year, for, when we were juniors, George Mason's team took it for us. Our baseball team, another team with Allen Brown for a leader, began its season doubtfully, but ended very well under Jack Cantwell's coaching. Our last class games came, and with them the realization of the fact that we were almost through. For the last time we wore the orange, and we saw Classical perform very creditably through the games. Our Banquet came June l4th at the State Mutual, and it was a glad yet sad affair. Only a few days more and class day has come and thus ends suitably the Epic of '20B. Yet no history could be complete without an appreciation of all that we have received. We owe a great deal to Mr. Porter, to the faculty, and to our parents, and we take this opportunity of expressing our gratitude. Wherever we may go, we'll always remember C. I-l. S. and the happy days which we have spent within its walls. WESLEY MELLQUIST Ghz Milan fur the Qlristn WESLEY MELLQUIST The history of mankind presents many momentous crises. Perhaps none among them are more significant than four which, in my opinion, can be paralleled in many respects to the present period 3-namely, that of the time of Solon, the Age of Augustus, the career of Charles Martel, and our own great crisis in the days of Abraham Lincoln. Where shall we find the type of man we need today, one who stands for America, American ideals, and American freedom? In our search, let us look into past history-to the crises of that past-and see what the man of each period did to improve conditions. In the year 624 B. C., in ancient Athens, Draco promulgated a code which was founded on the idea that the smallest offences deserved death, and that as no severer punishment could be applied to greater ones, therefore all transgressors must be punished alike. However pleasing this code may have been to the undertakers of Athens, it certainly did not find favor with the rest of the people, for early in the sixth century B. C., Solon was called to remodel the laws, and so well did he per- form his task, that he is said to have laid the foundation of his country's happiness. He sought to abolish the oppressive aristocracy, and to create a more demo- cratic form of government by admitting the hard-handed men of Athens to a share of authority, yet allowing the preponderance of power to remain with the higher classes. Solon's political sagacity was of an exceptional order, and, to this day, even to the illiterate, his name is a synonym of wisdom. Under his benignant teach- ing, Athens made wonderful progress in prosperity. He was the man for the crisis. How efficiently he handled the situation! The good that men do lives after them, Mark Antony to the contrary notwithstanding. Now let us look to the crisis at Rome. When Julius Caesar fell, pierced with twenty-three wounds at the foot of Pompey's statue in the Senate I-louse, the Roman world was left without a master. The conspirators had slain the one man strong enough to evolve order out of the chaos into which the republic had been plunged. They had destroyed Caesar, and with him they had hoped to destroy his policy. But the sole result of their act of assassination was to throw the state for a period of thirteen miserable. years into a constant succession of civil wars, out of which emerged triumphant and alone, the commanding figure of Augustus, who shattered forever the Roman republic, and founded upon its ruins the majestic structure of the empire. At the age of thirty-three he had attained the summit of his ambition and found himself the undisputed master of the Roman world. But what was the main result 26 THE AF TERMA TH of his work? The answer is clear. He welded together the Roman world, east and west, into one great organization, of which the emperor stood as the supreme head. He set his legions upon the distant frontiers and their swords formed a wall of steel within which commerce and peace might flourish. The security was not perpetual, yet it lasted for four centuries, and saved ancient civilization from de- struction. But for the empire and the system inaugurated by Augustus, there is every probability that the Roman civilization would have been thoroughly blotted out. We may regret the degeneration of Rome, its loss of freedom, the tyranny of the later emperors, the civil wars which followed, and the decay of the old material spirit in the Roman people. But the seeds of degeneration and decay had been planted in the days of the republic and would have come to maturity far sooner if there had been on Augustus and no empire. In his astounding versatility of char- acter shown in political organization, in the patronage of art and literature, and in the erection of public buildings of renown, Augustus launched the Roman world on a new career. He brought to realization its remarkable unity for the first time. Such was his life-work, and its far-reaching consequences are felt even to our own day. ln France, about 732 A. D., Charles, afterwards surnamed Martel, had become Mayor of the Palace, and it was he who completed the task of reuniting the Frankish nation. It was an especially fortunate event, for the Franks needed their combined strength against the Mohammedans, who had recently conquered Spain and were now threatening all Europe. The adherents of Islam had spread their faith over Arabia, Syria, Persia, and as far into Asia as Alexander the Great had marched. They conquered Egypt, and in the course of the seventh century, the entire African coast to the Strait of C-ibraltar. Eventually Spain fell to the victorious army. When they invaded France, with their usual success, Christianity seemed doomed: but at the call of Charles, thousands of stalwart warriors gathered to repel the danger. The hosts met in battle near Tours. All day the light cavalry of the invaders dashed in vain against the immovable ranks of Frankish infantry. The Mohammedans saw immediately that they had met their superiors, and, de- serting the battle, they retreated. This victory saved western Europe from conquest by the Mohammedans. To Charles, the victor, after ages gave the name Martel- the Hammer-in remembrance of the blows with which he crushed his enemies. That was a serious crisis, and we owe all honor to the man who won that victory. And now let us take up our own great crisis in l86l . We all know the story of l..incoln's rise to fame. His boat lay on the beach and when the tidal wave of fate rolled in, it was elevated, bringing glory and honor to a man who might be sainted for his supreme ability in handling the situation' of the Civil War. There was no flourish of trumpets at his entrance: he was no man on horseback, marshal- ling legions behind him, he was no haughty dictator, but a faithful helmsman and a matchless administrator. His presidency was the period of a four years' Civil War, during which the nation was on the verge of ruin. He weathered the war, came forth victorious, and wiped out forever the cause of disunion, the institution of slavery, which had existed from the foundation of the country. Thus he became the great liberator and the CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL 27 saviour. Then at the supreme hour of victory, the assassin did his deadly work, and the great statesman became the great martyr. At the present time, there are numerous people who view this and every other situation with fearful alarm, and are of the opinion that what we really need to lead us to political and economic stability is some gallant, inspiring, eloquent, chevalier, who can rouse us to resultful action. But are we sure this is the type of leader who will prove most efficient? It is true that a real leader could, over night, gather in his train and support a great number of Americans, but no man on horseback, galloping into the national arena, with trumpet blaring and banner flying, is fitted to lead them to the place they must go to secure consideration for their political needs and benefits. What is demanded by the situation is a man on footg a man sturdily and steadily walking down the middle of the road with his feet on the ground, his eye clear, his vision unimpaired and forward-looking, his mind unencumbered with theory, a man who knows the needs of America and her vast people, as they exist today, who understands European conditions and can pilot America safely through new channels, and who has the courage and the ability to enforce the necessary remedies. The right man must have the vision to see clearly into the future and the nerve to free himself from slavish devotion to obsolete systems. Perhaps we have need of a liberalist, a believer in the freedom of the indi- vidual rather than in compulsion, either by the mass or by despotsg a man who relies mainly but not exclusively upon individual initiativeg a man who, like the revered Jefferson, believes that individuals will, without compulsion and under freedom of contract, do whatever is necessary to provide for the needs of the coun- try, state, or community. There must be a good deal of honest give and take in the character-training of a man who would work in harmony with a legislative body. A great problem awaiting the new president is the deliverance of our nation from its economic situa- tion. During the last four years the only solution that has been tried has been that of various social classes. The laboring men have attempted to solve it from their standpoint alone, and the capitalists from theirs. The next President fo the United States must stop class programs and bring unquestioned relief without delay, to the average citizen. If it be to protect the rights of the weak, whoever objects, let him do it. Have we a man for this crisis? Let us strongly believe that now, as at every previous critical time, the necessary leader will be chosen and we shall be guided into channels of safety and constructive progress. I-IYMAN BERLYN Ullman Hrnphrrg BY I-IYMAN IRVING BERLYN A few evenings ago I decided to celebrate my departure from Classical by a visit to the Bancroft.,' After doing justice to an enticing meal, I danced until thoroughly wearied. Then I sat down in a quiet nook to think over my life at Classical. I noticed the moon and stars were out in full glory. The soft strains of the music, Dardanella, as they came to my ears were a fitting accompaniment to my thoughts. But presently a drowsiness crept over me. I tried to hum the song the orchestra was playing. As I glanced over the heavens, I noticed that the North Star seemed to stand out as being much bigger and brighter than the rest. I fixed my gaze on itg it appeared to grow larger. A hazy muddle filled my brain and still that star grew larger, coming toward me with menacing strides. Soon it was close to me, upon meg then it had completely enveloped me. I felt hysterical enough to laugh, helpless enough to cry, for the concentration had hypnotized me. The next thing I knew, I was rudely awakened by a prosperous-looking fellow, who was no other than Joseph Hlfayn Legasse. Of course, explanations were in order and I found out that I must have been asleep for fifteen years. Joseph had recently purchased the Bancroft and just happened around that way when he found me. I wished him all the luck in the world and hurried off, puzzled at the state of affairs in which I found myself. I stepped into the elevator and found that Samuel Garfrnkel was the chief elevator boy. I-Ie got the job because he was a good friend of the proprietor. Sam was so speedy on his job that when he took a passenger up to the top Floor after breakfast, he made the return trip just in time to get the crowds who were going up after dinner. As I passed out of the hotel, I was astonished to see a crowd of women patrol- men near the entrance. I recognized a few of them. There was Private Rose Grace, who was trying to fuzz her hair, which stuck out from beneath her cap, talking to Lieutenant Agnes Riley, who was industriously powdering her nose while looking into a mirror situated at the end of her Hbillyf' Then there was Margaret Foley putting in a sentence or two whenever Agnes or Rose gave her a chance, and Flor- ence Fogarty, who was trying to adjust her belt into a conspicuous position. Of course, they were talking about the new l935 policewomen's styles. Soon the patrol wagon rushed up in a reckless fashion and Winifred Bradshaw stepped out to line up the relief squad. I walked off thinking this was indeed a strange world. Before I had gone much farther, I was hailed by the voice of George Tasse who was standing outside of a barber shop which bore the name of Tasse and Co. George was the company and everything. Con you imagine him with his hair a foot too long, parted in the center, and with a little mustache, posing as a French barber? I-Ie told me I needed to be fixed up, so I stepped in. I-Ie made a fine job. I-le cut me up only in about five different places. When I went to pay him, I found that I was nineteen cents short. But for old times' sake, George put me down in his credit book and let me off. I immediately proceeded to the Park Trust Co. to withdraw some funds. I walked up to the teller, Mary Foley. Mary told me that since my account had 30 THE AFTERMA TH not been renewed in ten years, I could not get a cent. That was the new law, but she took me over to the Bank President, Saul Feingold. I explained the situation, and Saul, stroking his chin and with a twinkle in his eye, told me that I was an economic illth g but since I was a Classical I9Z0, I could get my money with accrued interest. Pocketing the 32.37 that Mary handed me, I went off, only to be greeted with a slap on the back and a cheery, I-Iellolu by James Quinn. He persuaded me to go over to the offices of the Classical Journal, of which he was the star re- porter. I consented, and soon followed him up a flight of stairs where a strong aroma of something burning was in evidence. I followed James into the office and found seated in an easy chair, with his feet on the desk and reading a paper, the cause of all the trouble. It was Milton Frankel, editor-in-chief of the Classical Journal, smoking one of those cigars that are usually given away on election night. Our greeting was cordial, and while I surveyed the pleasant surroundings, in rushed Helen Guthro, who was another of the Classical's good reporters. She carried the city election returns. Milton pressed a button and straightway appeared Alice M. Barrett, his stenographer, who took down the news. I learned that Aina Oberg and William Travers had run for the mayoralty, which resulted in a tie vote. Of course a com- promise was inevitable, and so there was a joint mayoralty, Bill bossing the city and Anna supervising the Travers' home. While watching the crowds in the streets celebrate, news came over the wire from New York, sent by George Ferguson, the New York staff-reporter. The dispatch told of two inventors who were contemplating a trip to Mars. The names of MacAdam and Whitcomb were familiar, so I decided to witness the beginning of the Hight. As time was short, I decided to go via aeroplane, that much perfected machine of I920. The plane left Egan's aero-station, so called in honor of Thomas Egan who had supervised its construction. It was a piece of work to be proud of. Speed was the l935 password, for I had barely seated myself beside the motorman before I was whisked away and put through a series of turns, loop-the-loops, nose dives, tail spins, and spiral flops. I said motorman, but before we had reached our altitude, I saw that Helen Mullins was driving the plane. I had quite a pleasant conversation, during which I found out that Helenis job agreed with her. Indeed as I remembered, it never did take much to make Helen go up in the air. She told me, however, that the conductor's job was a better paying one, provided you knew how to ring up the fares on a fifty-hfty basis. I turned around to see the conductor, and Philomena Loughlin smiled at me nonchalantly, just as if she were sitting in her English class. Arriving at New York, I went over to the field of operations. I was just in time, for a huge gun was being loaded with a large shell on which was strapped a dummy. I saw Walter MacAdam and Richard Whitcomb doing the work. Going up to them, I asked what the idea was of having a dummy shot to Mars. Oh! said Walter, Dick, here, was supposed to go, but the officials objected to having him spattered all over the state in case we fail and, anyway, there isn't any difference, you know. The object was landed all right, and Dick went up on the next trip. Now Walter was trying to get Dick back, so he solicited the aid of Grace Odlum, CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 31 renowned for her work as an astronomer. Grace herself was a star along her line, and it did not take long before her celestial orbit was recorded in the book of fame. I returned to New York City and boarded a bus on which I found Louis Kumin. He was in the real estate business. Louis offered to sell me the town, but I wasn't thinking of settling down yet, so I soon left him and went in search of a bite to eat. The first place came to was Foley's Cafe, run by Elizabeth Foley. She evidently had received her experience at the school lunch counter, for service was the word of the hour. After I was through, I was sure my first impression was correct, for they charged lunch counter prices. It was Frank Kernosek who brought me the check and took away the best part of my fortune, coupled with a few angry scowls. He was the manager of the Cafe and contributed greatly to its success. - My experience had tired me somewhat, for I had a headache. As I went around a corner, I bumped into Gerald Crowley, who wore the uniform of New York's chief of police. After exchanging greetings, Gerald directed me to Dr. Nanigian's office. I walked in and found that it was a Doctor's Syndicate, with Miss Nanigian and Van Buren Herrick at the head of affairs. After rapping me over the head with a monkey wrench and putting a barometer in my mouth, Eliza- beth said to Van: Give him some of your 'Do or Die Tabletsf guaranteed to kill or cure. Luckily for me I escaped while the lVl.D.'s went into the rear room. It was now evening, and the lights of Broadway were out in full glory. Perched high above the rest of the signs was a brilliant display of electric light formed into a design with the words, It Pays To Advertise. While I wondered at its beauty, a voice behind me said, Looking for a falling star? It was Henry Mc- Keon, who had settled down in New York, and with Charles Burns as a partner, was selling an automobile of his own make. Henry had one of his machines with him. It looked like a first class steam roller, but went only about half as fast. I asked Henry what the brilliant sign signified. He said, Hop in, and I'll take you over to the New York Advertising Co. I took one look at the would-be automobile and decided to walk. D Henry directed me to the office and soon I had gained audience with the President of the concern. Professor Puzant K. Thomapan had realized his boy- hood ambition and advertising was his middle name. Scarcely had I shaken hands with Puzant, when he immediately began a bombardment with advertising litera- ture which completely took me off my feet. He rattled off snappy poems and told me how to get rich quick through advertising. If I wanted a watch, a wife, or work, I had just to register with him. The arrival of Hazel Peterson saved the day. Hazel had received a degree from all the noted colleges and had every letter of the alphabet after her name. She and Professor Thomajan were writing a book which treated with the best method of disposing of Uhobosf' I left the office after subscribing to a dozen copies of Advertise and Succeed. In the elevator I met Samuel Price, who had just closed up his studio. Pat was a composer and music master. He had written such popular songs as I'm Always at Home in A flat, and I'm Drowning in a high C. He was also the leader of New York's Symphony Orchestra, which played at the lVIellquist, 32 THE AFTERMA TH New York's leading playhouse, run by our old friend Wesley. Pat took me around to the stage entrance, where I saw Vvesley who, being in good spirits as usual, handed me a pass for the performance. I sat down in an orchestra seat, and when the play opened with a solemn funeral march, Pat and his orchestra struck up to the tune of Jingle Bells. The stars of the play were Beatrice Bernier, the heroine, and I-larold Brown, the hero, reproducing James Conlon's great success, The Dustman's Revenge, or The Crime of an Ancient Barrister. It was a play of prohibition and poorhouses, which brough tears to the eye in the third act when the hero was shown living on a desert isle for three days, eating nothing but onions and seaweeds. Leaving the theatre, I proceeded to the Y. M. C. A., where I intended to put up for the night. I went up to the desk to register, and imagine my surprise when Samuel Perman handed me the pen. Sam was a zealous Y worker, and had done much to help weary travelers make themselves at home in New York. I was tired, so I soon left Sam and went to my room. The next day, after breakfasting, I went out to see more of the great metrop- olis. Along Fifth Avenue I met Samuel Baker, Sam still had his boyhood hobbies and he took me into the Alpha Lunch. I had just had my breakfast, so had he, but it was a habit with Sam when he met one of his friends. We walked down together afterwards to his department store which had put Wanamaker's out of business. I-Ie told me that Economics together with his stay at lVlarkon's Fur Shop did it. I left him shortly and went down to the harbor and out upon the Cunard Wharf, where I was just in time to see Nehamah Freed, Joseph Goldberg and Goldie Cohen about to board the good ship William Jennings Bryan, which was to take them back to Palestine. Their mission was to make that country dry. After practicing on Cherry Valley., they had received their degree and were on their way to free Palestine from the clutches of John Barleycorn. I haven't said much about the aeroplanes which were more numerous than Fords in l920. Practically every street had a starting and landing station. There was one just above the wharf. Soon a plane landed, and down the steps came David Seder. I spoke to him just as he was getting a can of oil for his machine. He told me that he was going to Paris with his aeroplane, as he was President of the League of Nations. I wondered at his going to Europe in an aeroplane and using so little fuel. But he told me that it only took a few hours, and as for fuel, Margaret Wehinger had fixed that. One day in her chemical laboratory she accidentally mixed some suspected non-alcoholic liquors with the result that she became the famous manufacturer of Wehinger Oil, a thousand miles per gallon. The supply salesman who was in charge of the station came up to David and handed him his change. I was somewhat surprised to see Nathan Rosenberg hold- ing down this job. But it just suited his unique disposition, for in his off minutes he fished for whales on the edge of the wharf. Dave offered to take me to Europe, and since it was only a few hours' trip, I accepted. When we were about a thousand miles out at sea, we were passed by a red plane going at a terrihc speed. Seder informed me that that was Arthur I-Ioule, who was practising for the Inter- national race around the globe. Arthur was to defend his title against some of the CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL 33 best pilots. It was his ability as an astronomer and weather prophet that helped him hold his record. , We finally landed at Paris and went over to the League Chamber. David opened the meeting and took up the first important business on the program, an international sleighride for the League members. Those memorable words, Now, I want each and every one of you to get behind and pushf' rang out amidst the applause of the members. Soon Joseph Kelley, who was the Irish representative, took the lloor and for the ninth successive year made a stirring speech for uniform international bathing suits. In the lobby I met Irene Smolensky. She was the photographic reporter of Le Paris, Paris, leading journal. I walked along the boulevard and into the business section with Irene. There was an immense millinery store, Mademoiselle Bass', which boasted of American styles and American prices. Here I left Irene and entered a Parisian dance hall which was conducted by George Naphen. George looked like a typical French- man 'and spoke with a fluent oo-la-la accent. To my mortification he kissed me on both cheeks. When he wanted to introduce me to some of the Parisian ladies, I hastily bade him adieu, fearing a duplication of George's affectionate greetings. Soon after leaving the hall, I decided to go to London, England, on my return trip to America. I boarded the good ship Lost Hopei' at Calais and asked one of the crew where I could find the captain, for I wanted to inspect the workings of the ship. I-le directed me to his cabin. As I stepped around one of the upper decks, I saw George Selzo and Paul Shedd playing a game of African golf. They always did say that opposites attract, and George and Paul were steadfast chums, helping each other doing nothing. You see they were fortunate enough to get into the piano-moving business with a sugar refinery as a sideline and had now retired on the moderate income of SIOOO a week. Touring was their present occupation, and I felt glad to have them as companions for the rest of the voyage. I proceeded to the captain's cabin and was almost ready to jump into the channel when I saw Anna Power dressed in the captainls garb, poring over some charts. lVIy request to inspect the ship was granted and I immediately proceeded to the lower regions. My first impression was that I was as safe on that ship as a white man was among a crowd of cannibals. But it wasnlt the captain's fault, for in the engine room I found the creator of the gentle raft. It was Earl Tucker tinkering around the machinery trying to figure out a possible way to increase the ship's speed to eight miles per hour. Stranger things have happened, so I didnlt half appreciate the fact that I finally did land safely in London. I was stopped in the custom house by Anna Reed, who seemed disappointed because I didnlt have a grip or trunk with me that she could pick to pieces and chalk up with her o. k. marks as she was wont to do. But Anna was a pretty good sort of a custom house official, for she arranged it so as I could get by without the fuss and delay that is usually required. But when I was getting my passport viseed by Benjamin Ginns just before leaving, I was quite beside myself. It seemed that Ben was determined to keep me there all day, for he asked me a series of questions that I was and was not suposed to know about, and that he himself could not answer. Of course, he did not do it with the inten- tion of preventing me from landing, but the season was dull and Ben, being a conscientious sort of a fellow, wanted to keep in practice. 34 THE AFTERMA TH Finally I left the custom-house and boarded a bus going to the business section. I sat down near the driver, who proved to be Joseph Dusak. Talk about automobiles killing chickens along country roads, they had nothing on Joe. ' I said to him: What's your hurry, Joe? Chl he said, we haven't any traffic policemen like Olson over here. You get 'pinched' if going less than fifty miles an hour, for obstructing the traffic. Soon the conductor yelled, Fair limit. It sounded so familiar that I jumped off the bus and it had started on before I realized that I was not on the Worcester Consolidated line. I saw a crowd of people entering a fenced-in park, and judging that there was some sort of a game going on, I followed. I was more delighted than surprised to see that it was the All-American Baseball Team under the managership of James Al Brown, come to decide the World's Championship with E.ngland's best. Al was on the job, and with sweet profanity, was urging Thomas Donaher, the star pitcher, to do his best and bring home the pennant. Soon the American Team took the field and I saw Thomas Stanton put on the catcher's mask and guards, and Mabel Stead umpiring the game. Mabel yelled, Play ball! and at sign from Stanton, Donaher pitched the ball straight into the catcher's mit-a few yards distant from the home plate. Strike one! cried out the umpire amidst the applause of the enthusiastic throng. So the game progressed to the twenty-sixth inning, showing the score tied. No wonder that Manager Al Brown grew impatient and, with two men out and the bases full, went in as a pinch hitter. Al connected with the first ball pitched in such a way as would make Babe Ruth look like a grammar school player. The bat boasted of a heavy dent, and the ball was never seen again, some people claim- ing that it is traveling still. Anyway, that was the deciding blow for the American team took home the pennant, victors by the close score of 94 to 91. The champions had a special cruiser which was to take them to San F ran- cisco via the Panama Canal. I was more than glad to accept Al's invitation to accompany them. Two weeks of clear sailing brought us into southern waters. We were met at the entrance to the canal by Solomon Gurian, United States En- gineer, sent to Panama to clear out some recent landslides. Sol told us to wait while he got a pick and shovel and he would have a road cut for us in a jiffy. Evidently the Captain did not have as much faith in Sol's ability as Sol did, for he asked to have the gigantic crane lift the ship across the obstruction. The crane was an invention of Mary Butkiewicz. It was an electrical contrivance which Mary had conceived with the original invention of lifting New York City out of its foundation and planting it down in Honolulu so as to give the New Yorkers a real vacation. It did not take long, however, to take us over the obstruction and we continued our course along the canal. On reaching the Pacific end, we were met by Ruth Martin, who was looking after the United States' interests in Panama. Ruth loved excitement and that is why she chose this position. You see she spent her spare afternoons on the mountains watching the Mexican national game. While we were there it was Villa's turn at the bat, and he was swatting cannon balls in every direction. Still there was nothing unusual in that, so we sailed on, making our way to San Francisco. The pilot who stepped aboard our ship to lead us safely into the harbor was CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL 35 Benjamin Levenson. I-le finished the job in a fashion that would have done credit to Herve Riel himself, for in addition to getting us safely into port, Ben destroyed every other ship that got into our way and a few that we got into the way of. Nevertheless, we were in San Francisco and I bade my friends God-speed, deciding to make my way home overland. In San Francisco I ran across Thomas Counihan. Tom,' was the Superintendent of Schools and had set up a system all his own which was once considered a Utopia. No. P, lVl.'s, no floggings, no expulsions or hard words were on his program to bother the life of the poor oppressed student. And Tom testified that it had a wonderful effect on their good looks even if it did not turn out learned sages. From San Francisco I went to Los Angeles and visited the Barrett moving picture studio. I was glad to find that Alice Pauline Barrett was the much talked of moving picture producer in that district. She told me to wait a while and I would see them producing a scene. Soon Alice's right hand man, John Barry, came around and shouted orders through a megaphone the size of the Blackstone Tunnel. The scenes were set up and John yelled, '6Bring ont the heroine. Then entered there with sweet song and face Beulah Goldsmith, the great American success in silent drama. Enter hero, with a bunch of violets in your hand, was John's next command. In stalked, with emboldened strides, Harold Siegel, a bouquet of spinach in his left hand, his heart in his right and a nickel cigar in his mouth. l'lal', had cultivated Douglas l:airbank's million dollar smile and his million dollar salary. I-le always did say that his voice was his fortune, and it certainly had proved so. I left the studio after the first scene and walked along the business streets. Soon I was hailed by the voice of Louis Rosenthal. Louis was bigger and hand- somer than ever. I-le carried his inevitable piano with him and was just bound for the Los Angeles Artists, concerts. I told him I would be glad to hear him, so a short while found me seated in the audience listening to Louis' exhibition. The program said he was playing Lawful Chimes. It sounded more like Awful Chimes. Nevertheless, a great future was predicted for him. I resumed my sight-seeing and soon decided to take the next train home. Ac- cordingly, I set out for the station and had almost arrived there when I noticed Ida Edinberg driving the standard Edinberg car. lda had gone one better than l-lenry Ford, and in any clime fclimbl the Edinberg car stood the test. She saw me, too, for she motioned and I soon was riding the ride of rides. Ida was on her way to New York and hoped to be there the next days--but not in that machine. When we had reached Deadman'srest Village, three of the wheels of the car fell off, so Ida thought it best to stop and have them put on before proceeding. I wasn't at all sorry, for I had always wanted to see the sights of a western city. Suddenly a shooting party began around the corner, and as suddenly as it started it stopped. There soon appeared Eric Peterson wearing the sheriff's badge. He had his six-shooter pointed straight at a row of hilarious Westerners whom he had prevented shooting each other for excitement. After sending off each man in a different direction, he polished up his silver badge with the end of his sleeve, as sheriffs are wont to do and greeted me in a western manner. Eric was on the job and limited the fights in that town to accommodate the undertakers who had struck for a six-hour day. It was quite late now, so Eric told me I would find a welcome 36 THE AFTERMA TH at Murphy's ranch, a few minutes, walk up the road. I went there and after I had flirted with the watch dog for a few hours, Edward Murphy came out, muzf zled the dog and led me into the house. Edu had succeeded wonderfully in his life occupation. I-Ie informed me that his time was pretty well taken up feeding the chickens every day. I slept over at Ed's and participated in the morning meal cooked by him exclusively, for Ed preferred to row his boat alone. I don,t know where he learned to cook, but only those who have partaken of a bachelor's meal can appreciate it. I left Deadman's rest soon after on the Flier,', a transcontinental express travf eling one hundred miles per hour. But I was not destined to go very far, for one of the rear coaches jumped the track and we stopped a few miles from the city of Chicago. Everybody on the train alighted, and I recognized Eleanor Phillips in the engineeris garb. She wore a pair of overalls and looked the part to perfection. It seemed that the women were doing all the work now for a change. Eleanor went tc the nearest farmhouse and 'phoned down to Chicago about the accident. They evidently thought somebody was hurt for the hospital ambulance was rushed down and I saw Margaret Bowler and Francis Zielinski alight from it. As there was nobody hurt, I had a little time to talk to them. Margaret told me that she was head nurse at the hospital and Francis was her chief assistant, at which he was the best ever. She said, HYou should see the way he makes the beds, scrubs the Hoors and peels potatoes. I went to Chicago in the hospital ambulance, due to the kindness of my friends. As I was walking along the streets, I noticed an old man in front of me with a flowing beard. As I passed, one of the buttons of my coat caught in his beard, and to my surprise yanked it off. I was almost overcome when I found that it was Matthew Slobin, Chicago's leading detective in disguise. I said to Mattie, i6What's the idea of the disguise? Sh-h-h, he whispered, I'm after Oklahoma Ike, the toughest criminal in eight states. Last week he tried to kidnap the Statute of Liberty, and I'm out to get himf' With that he passed on, leaving me amazed to find Mattie pursuing such a mysterious occupation. I got to the station and seated myself beside a lady who was reading a paper. As I sat down she looked up and I saw it was Margaret Mahoney. She 'was going to New York to give a series of concerts on the piano. She told me she was sorry she didn't have her keys with her or she would play a few selections for me. Margaret suddenly thought she would ,phone to Mary Trabulsi, who was her manager, so she went to the rear car. As I accompanied her, I saw her easily get a connection with Mary by means of the wireless telephone, which was so perfected by Frank McGurl, the Edison of I935, that one could ,phone while on a moving vehicle just as the Marconi wireless operates. You see, Frank was late for dinner one day and he tried to get his wife on the 'phone to explain. As he was in a hurry he ripped the 'phone from the wall and while riding home in his automobile, by a simple device that Frank alone knew about, he spoke to her wirelessly. Nevertheless, he went in for ' t' d d manicuring sets for baby elephants, etc. Arriving in New York again, I saw Fifth Avenue lined with peo le and . P 3- rope stretched across one end of it. I asked somebody what was going on. They invening an ma e such novelties as CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 37 said that the Marathon runners were due to finish their six day race soon. I waited for a few minutes and along came Eddy Nelson at about a forty-mile an hour clip, closely followed by William Carr. As they came to the finish, they were shoulder to shoulder, but Eddy stuck out his chest and won the race by three-eighths of an inch. They had been battling along like that for the last few hundred miles. I went into the Vanderbilt to stay over for the night and in the lobby I saw Sadie Friedman and Anna Jogodnik just about to leave. They informed me that they were off to Italy, as Sadie was appointed ambassador and Anna was her aide. They had been staying at the Vanderbilt to learn the correct way of manipulating a string of spaghetti. I wasn't through with meeting friends at the Vanderbilt yet, for I saw Thomas Callery seated in an easy chair playing tic-tac-too with Ervin Gomez. Tom,' was a multi-millionaire and a steel magnateg Ervin was a manufacturer of holeless noodlesg yet tic-tac-too was their favorite diversion. The next day I returned to Vvorcester and watched the Classical I-Iigh Base- ball Team beat Commerce for the championship. I wasn't surprised at the result when I learned that William Moran was the coach of athletics at Classical. His fame was even more noted than that of Pat Moran of l920. The girls' athletic teams of the respective schools were playing, too, and they made a good showing, for Nehamah Click was instructor of girls' athletics in the city schools. It was a pity that the game was called in the third inning, as one of the Commerce girls had lost her powder puff and couldn't possibly proceed with the game. I then went down Main Street and met Rosa Greeko near the City I-Iall accompanied by a male friend of hers. I addressed her, Where are you going, Rosa? To get a license, was her answer. Why, going to get married?,' Oh, no! An automobile license, I mean. I've been married for the last five years, and accordingly she introduced me to her husband. I went off shortly and was soon approached by Gertrude Griffin. C1ertU wanted me to buy a ticket for the fifteenth annual 'sproml' of the Class of 1920. She was on the committee. But, I objected, I'll have to go alone, unless-'I Oh, well, you can come up early and help me with the decorationsf, and she handed me the ticket and went off. I looked at the ticket. The Hpromn was at Terpsichorean Hall at eight P. M. So seven o'clock saw me helping Gertrude put up some decorations. It seemed that no matter how far away or busy my former classmates were, they always had time for this reunion. And the sight of all my friends thus reunited pleased me immensely. You can well imagine my experiences had tired me, so instead of dancing, I sat down in the clear open air away from the crowd to think again of my school days. I gradually dozed off to sleep and it seemed that I could hear the orchestra playing that same old song, Dardanella. Suddenly I awoke with a start and, yes, those soft strains of 'IDardanella came floating toward me. I looked at my watch. It was eleven-thirty. Then I had only been asleep for a short while. The orchestra had just finished the dance, and there I was still up on the Bancroft roof garden. The same old moon and stars looked down upon me. The North Star was in its old place, and all my surroundings were unchanged. I realized that I had been dreaming, so I immediately sat down and recorded my visions. I have here presented them to you. ROSE PEARL GRACE Zlemiah Glnntrihutiuna in Qliuilizatiun Rosie PEARL GRACE Two months ago we read in the papers that Palestine had been restored to the Jews. We read that this occurrence had been the cause of great rejoicing. How many of us, I wonder, glanced over the headlines with a merely casual interest? No doubt two distinct questions arose in most minds: Who are the Jews? , and why should they rejoice? Many misleading popular phrases, such as rich as a Jew have caused the out- side world to consider the whole Jewish nation a representative of finance and usury. If one should try to disprove this fallacy, a natural inquiry would be: Weill, what have they done besides accumulate wealth? What have been their contributions toward civilization? The Jewish nation consisted of l4,000,000 people before the late World War. Its ancestry, as all know, dates back to remote ages which saw numerous contem- poraries-long since annihilated. The pages of its history are spattered with blood and persecution ,and yet we find Israel thriving in our midst. Having gained their native land after years of wandering, it is quite natural that the Jews rejoice. What has the little nation been doing all this time? How has it affected your life and mine? Let me begin by stating a fact unadorned by sentiments or conjectures-a fact which can be proclaimed impersonally by Jew or Gentile. The Jews are the most anciently cultured people in the world. During the time which was consumed by surrounding tribes in barbaric warfare, Israel was producing that inimitable embodi- ment of epical history, law, poetry, and culture-the Bible. Later on approaching the days of their expulsion from their native land, the Rabbins were working on the Talmud, a profound masterpiece of law and religion interspersed with wit and lofty expression. Very much that is sublime in the liturgy of the Church of Rome was de- rived from the Talmud. The foremost Jewish contribution to civilization is a religious one. The Jew was the first one to recognize the fact that there is one God. This conclusion, reached so long ago, serves today as the basis of religion in every civilized country of the world. The dark Middle Ages placed many an obstacle in the path of the progressive Jew. The religious inquisition ensnared him, the provincial-minded dug pitfalls for him. Still, maimed and bereaved as he was. he arose again to become one of the few bright lights that shone through that mediaeval darkness. 40 THE AFTERMA TH Sir Walter Besant, the great English novelist, says: Poet, lawyer, painter, actor, stateman, physician, musician-there is not a branch of learning, art, or science in which the Jew is not in the front rankf' The people of that period, however, would have dispensed with any progress rather than accept knowledge from a Jew. That is the reason why so many renowned Jews of this period abandoned Judaism to be converted. What part has the Jew played in the scientific world? The name of Maimo- nides is particularly prominent in the field of science. This great man, often referred to as the Jewish Aristotlef' was said to be the most powerful light of the Middle Ages. Maimonides was most proficient in every branch of science, and his works on philosophy, astronomy, and medicine have been translated into different languages. Among the many illustrious Jewish philosophers was Moses Mendelssohn, the pioneer of modern German classical literature. l-le was called the greatest sage since Socrates. And who has not heard of Karl lVlarx? This economist, the source of inspiration to every conservative socialist, was a Jew. In the science of mathematics the Jew has always been exceptionally proficient. Professor C. Syl- vester Was perhaps the greatest mathematician of the nineteenth century. Now we come to medicine. Medical science constituted one of the most elevating of the Jewish contributions to civilizations. Mediaeval superstition and prejudice led the common people to consider the Jews as witches, and their miraculous cures of the various ailments as the work of the devil. The Jewish doctors were tormented with such brutal treatment as was then accorded to alleged possessors of witchcraft. Royalty, however, did not share this opinion. Kings throughout Europe would allow none but Jewish doctors to attend them. Every effort has been made to attribute this medical achievement of the Middle Ages to the Arabs. But countless authorities stoutly deny this, declaring that Arabic medicine is the daughter of Jewish Medi- eine. We should not overlook the elements of law which the Jew has given to the world. After thirty-three hundred years the laws of Moses still form the basis of the civilized world's jurisprudence. Among the famous jurists of the world at present are Sir Rufus Isaacs, known as Lord Reading, Lord Chief Justice of England, and Louis Brandeis, Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court. Let us make a brief resume of the Jewish participation in arts. The mention- ing of a few Jewish names call immediate thoughts to mind. Heinrich Heine, Anton Rubinstein, Sarah Bernharolt, Israel Zangwill! These names hardly call for further explanation. For who has not heard of Heine, the poet, Rubinstein, the composer, Bernhardt, the actressg or Zangwill, the modern novelist? But perhaps it is not gen- erally known that the Temple of Solomon ranks among the finest specimens of clas- sical architecture. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL 41 Lastly we come to the divine virtue of philanthropy. There is surely no one to deny the unparalleled philanthropic record of Sir Moses and Lady Judith Monte-- fiore. What an international figure the philanthropic Rothschilds cut! And in ou: own country, Jacob Schiff. During the American Revolution a Jew by the name of l-laym Solomon gave voluntarily il5300,000 to the National Colonies, and collected S300,000 more from his fellow Jews-all to aid our country. The jews have given their lives in the various struggles for freedom. Yes. They gave, gave, and continue to give. l-low has the world treated the Jews? I-low has it received the gifts of the little nation? It is unnecessary to repeat that which is well known to everyone. We have just experienced the horrors of a World War. But, somehow, in the midst of trouble we always perceive the most ideal aspect of life. Thus we saw how far we had strayed from the teachings of that great World Teacher, of Jewish birth, who was crucified, as some claim, by the Romans, nineteen hundred years ago. l-le preached the sermon of brotherly love and brotherhood of man. Many have mis- interpreted it as the brotherhood of sects. May they interpret it rightly in the future. PAUL CAMPBELL SI-IEDD Nature ifieuvaling New Elinrrez PAUL CAMPBELL SI-KEDD Before the dawn of history, man had invented a few simple machines to help him in his labor. The wedge, the pulley, the lever, and the bow and arrow thus came into existence. l-le then devised more complicated machines, which helped him greatly and became indispensable to his increasing civilization. For the first few thousand years of history very little was doneg then came the great age of invention. Man invented the steam engine and its brother, the gas engine. These actually do his work for him. Then electricity was discovered, and man performed his tasks by means of this powerful agent. Is electricity the last wordn in available energy? l-las man's power reached its height? Is it unable to go further? ls there any energy greater and more pow'- erful than electricity as we now know it? The answer is, Yes.,' A form of energy, far surpassing the most powerful forms of electricity, has been discovered, and is at present conspicuous among the sub- jects of research in the scientific world. This energy is yet unavailable, there has so far been devised no means of utilizing it. Maybe none ever will be devised. But scientists dreamg they have as great imaginations as poets, and sometimes their dreams come true. In IS39, Antoine Becquerel started investigations about phosphorescence,-- the power some substances have of giving off light. His work was taken up by his children and grandchildren, and resulted in the following discoveries: Many forms of phosphorescence are due to the presence of radium, an element which, alone or in combination, emits rays at the enormous speeds of from one thou- sand to fifteen hundred miles a second. They even penetrate matter to a small ex- tent, resulting in the discovery of the X-rays. These particles are electrons of helium, a rare gas. The residue is lead. The alchemists of antiquity tried in vain to trans- mute lead into gold. Now here is a metal, far more precious than gold, five hun- dred times more valuable than the diamond, automatically disintegrating into lead! A thimbleful of radium would emit more helium rays in a single second than there were dollars in the Victory Loan, and these rays are so small that after two 44 THE AF TERMA TH thousand years half the radium would be left, in addition to nearly half a thimbleful of lead. This emission of helium is called Radioactivity. It has been found that other elements possess this quality also, but to a much less extent. Thus all matter is changing its substance before our eyes, although so slowly that we do not notice it. This may be illustrated by stating that the life of an atom of uranium, a powerful radioactive substance, is seven billion years. Less active elements last much longer. On the other hand, actinium atoms last only live and one-half seconds. E Atoms were formerly considered to be indivisble. They are so small that fl pinch of salt contains billions upon billions of them. But they are not indivisible. An atom is composed of a single positive electric charge, called the nucleus, which may be compared to the sun, for around it rotate negative charges. They are called elec- trons and correspond to the earth and planets. If they could touch each other, and you set them side by side, extending from a fixed point to another, one inch distant, it would take over one thousand trillion of them to cover the distance. But they can- not touch each other. They are immense distances apart, sometimes as much as ten thousand times their own diameter. Thus, the orbit of the electrons is as large, com- pared with its diameter, as the orbit of the earth. The electrons move with terrific velocities, and thus exert a tremendous energy. hitherto unheard of. It has been estimated that a dislodged electron may dash about with such a speed as to change its location forty millions times in a second. This activity is a source of energy and heat. Now the heat of a star may be detected by a delicate instrument consisting of suspended disks, because the heat pro- pels the disks forward very slightly. These particles of heat come to us at the rate of many billions a second, at a speed of I86,000 miles a second, over a distance of trillions of miles. An atom or molecule vibrating in such a way as to send off such waves, powerful enough to drive relatively large particles of matter before them, must be a center of energy of astounding power. If this enormous store could be utilized, one gram of any matter could raise ten million tons four times as high as the Woolworth Building. Sir Oliver Lodge de- clares that one ounce of matter thus disintegrated could raise the German ships sunk in Scapa Flow atop the Scottish mountains. A particle of radium used in this way would exert an almost unbelievable power. If a method should be discovered of utilizing this great wilderness of power, it CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 45 would be the greatest event in history. But upon who controlled it would depend the question whether it would be the greatest good or the greatest calamity that ever be- fell our race. If several men possessed it, they would probably destroy each other, and the rest of the world with them, in a great, ambitious struggle for dominion. If it came into the hands of one man, he might make either benevolent or tyrannical use of it. I do not believe, and I certainly do not hope, that this power will be discovered until man has reached a sufficiently high plane morally to use it rightly. During the past century man has advanced with astounding rapidity along scientific lines. He has progressed more in a single year, perhaps, than he did during the first thirteen centuries of the Christian era. But he needs also a greater progress morally and spiritually before he can comprehend what he has done, and understand the great forces which, wonderful as they seem, would appear still more magnificent if right- ly understood. Science ought not, and probably cannot, advance very far without an equal advance in religion and morality. MARY JOANNA FOLEY Flhe Mralth nf the Nation MARY JOANNA FOLEY Like other departments of science, medicine began with an age of wonder. The accidents of life, and the features of death stimulated men to interest, and the birth of modern medicine took place when man first began to say to himself, Why should these wonderful mysteries be? Following this line of reasoning, the heavens and earth were peopled with Powers, unseen beings, who must be appeased continually by sacrificial offerings and prayers. Every sort of sickness whether of man or beast, was the manifestation of some unsatisfied deity. From this crude, this bizarre notion of diseases by some of the early peoples, the Greeks and Romans rose to a rather well-defined, practical development of the fundamental principles of modern medicine, a development worthy of those nations. Apollo, the god of medicine, had temples which were at one time, places of art, wor- ship and sanatoria. In Macedonia medicinal studies flourished for centuries. After the conquest of Greece by Rome, the Greek physicians attained a place in society which that profession has never since equalled. And so, from that time down through the ages, we have advanced, little by little, by observation, by experiment, to the complex study which we now call mod- ern medicine. Germs were discovered and the theory of infection expounded. Louis Pasteur by his scientific works placed the bacterial origin of disease on a firm founda- tion. Lister revolutionized surgery, toxins were discovered, and it seemed to the world at large that the medical profession must come to a standstill because of thc lack of new worlds to conquer. Yet, with all this progress in the study of medicine, the world did not seem to grow any healthier. Why? All this study had the wrong aim. It is true that it attempted to cure those who were sick, but it did not try to keep those who were healthy in that conditiong it did not try to remove he causes of disease. We had now reached a point beyond which we were unable to advance, either in the study of medicine or in economic production. Suddenly, to a few great minds, it occurred that perhaps there might be some connection between the two. The germs of the study of Public Health sprang into being. Civic Hygiene and Indus- 48 THE AF TERMA TH trial Hygiene assumed an equal importance, Civic Hygiene because it helps the men and women of tomorrow, Industrial Hygiene because it materially assists the pro- duction of today. Civic Hygiene has made itself a factor in the life of this nation. Every com- munity has some organization such as a Board of Health, the Red Cross, a Cham- ber of Commerce, which educates the people up to the standard demanded by the modern world. The sanitation of our cities is a great problem today, and every city expencls much time, labor and money on improving its system. Chicago, one of the great cities of the country, had many epidemics of typhoid. Her drinking water was ex-- amined by scientists. It was found that the sewage which was emptied into Lake Michigan, was entering the water pipes which left the Lake. In desperation, Chicago voted to spend 343,000,000 to obtain pure drinking water. By digging a canal twenty-eight miles long, the sewage was turned away from the lake, and entered, at last, the Mississippi River. The food of today is more nearly standard than it has ever been before. All honor to our efhcient Pure Food legislators. Milk, which is a staple of everyoneis diet, must now be inspected, for it was found, that in the case of Springfield, our neighbor, an epidemic of typhoid which caused many deaths came from impure milk. A medical journal gives a list of 330 outbreaks of epidemic diseases that were caused by impure milk. Today everything in cans, jars, or bottles must be labelled by its true name, and any poisonous substance must be plainly indicated on the outside. In our industrial life today, also, we have had much improvement, safeguard- ing the health of the worker has come to be a prime essential. There can be no economic progress in a puny nation, the world demands production, and the medium, which is labor, has been constantly aided to better itself. Legislating in regard to labor has always had public opinion back of it. Per- haps it is for this reason that the labor laws are so efficient. In every shop sanitary bubblers and wash basins have been installed, safety-deviced machines have been placed at the most convenient heightg hospitals have been installed. The outside hours of the laborers have been filled up with activity. Every shop has its ball teams, every community its sings and other recreations. The Crompton or Knowles Company have recently purchased Norcross Grove as a playground for CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL 49 their employeesg the Graton 61 Knight Corporation have secured Boulevard Park for their workers. And what does it all tend to? To increased production, it is true, but above all to the health, wealth, and prosperity of Our Country, the United States. We are all offered an equal opportunity for health, but we do not all take the chance offered. It is a compliment to a country to have a low death rate, and a high power to resist disease. Only a healthy people can have thisg and a healthy people make a healthy country. The medical profession has helped a great deal- in making America the power for good that it is today. It has been prophesied that ten years from now there will be no doctors except those employed by cities, and those under contract by industrial plants. Such a condition would be hard on the doctors, but how exceedingly bene- ficial for everyone elseg for the people who are the healthiest are the people who are the most efficient. It is for everyone of us to decide whether he will help our nation to grow more powerful. Help he will, if he loves his flag. And how may he best do this? Not by talking patriotism, but by growing sounder in body and in mind until we may say fwith apologies to Smith, Our Country, we're with thee, Onward to Health and Prosperity. RIC HARD FISHER WI-ilTCOMB Uh: ilinlr nf Glhemistrg in Ihr Glmeniieth Qlenturg RICHARD FISHER WHITCOMB Since the early days of the war people have awakened to the fact that the man behind our brave boys in this terrible conflict was the American chemist. As nations have become more civilized, war has become more and more a contest in science, so that the last war has fittingly been known as the war of chemists. Without chemistry victory would have been a vain pursuit. The chemist in the past has been regarded as a man who wasted time over triHes. Even at the present day a large number of our populace have no idea how vital to society such a profession is, although the chemist has many times proved that the welfare of the country lies practically in his hands and that chemistry is a pro- fession that calls for men who are able to undertake any problem that may confront the nation. For such an occupation we have comparatively few workers. At the be- ginning of the war those who followed chemical, pursuits of any kind made up ap- proximately one ten-thousandth of our population. The nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine ten-thousandths sat back with a feeling that from somewhere, Aladdin- like, agencies would reveal themselves ready to protect them from powerful and re- sourceful foes. They showed good judgment, though they had little idea of the seriousness or extent of the problem they confidently expected this handful of volun- teer chemists to tackle and solve. The German had forty years of chemical research and development before the war. He had over two years of swift chemical development in the war before the Americans entered. With a lack of foresight, we had done nothing to meet these chemical warfare activities. We entered the war with a handicap as big as could be imagined, but, through the energy and co-operation of the chemists, we overcame that lead of forty years. More than that, we surpassed it, so that in the end we led Europe not alone in quantity of manufacture but in research, in training, and in actual gas tactics on the field of battle. The present status of the American chemical indus- try and its prospect for the future must prove gratifying to all citizensg but these 52 THE AFTERMA TH prospects can never be fully realized unless the work of the chemist is supported by sound and loyal public opinion. The chief present-day problem is that of reconstruction. The solution of this problem will influence for good or evil the next century of the world's history. In the discussion and in the work to follow, the chemist will have a very responsible part. It would be falling far short of a proper understanding of the difficulties and the needs for reconstruction if we considered the task simply that of putting back what has been displaced. The world can never go back to where it was six years ago. It is true that certain pressing matters must be settled, before we can begin to live even ordinary lives, but when these matters are attended to, the whole question is by no means out of the way. The reconstruction period will see a great deal done along lines of conservation, and it is in such ways that the chemist will find his opportunity. lndustry has taken notice of chemistry, but it has not yet completely wedded itself to science by availing itself of its opportunities. There is need of many more general commercial laboratories than can find support. We need more industrial re- search. We have not yet learned the need of men with trained scientific minds on boards of directors of corporations engaged in chemical manufacture. All industries are chemical industries, but some are more obviously so than others. This ignorance on our part is a serious defect. Its results are frequently shown in the inertia of in- dustry, in failing to profit by improvements that would make for great economies as well as for advancement in well being. Most of us are familiar with large industrial establishments, the processes of which are based on chemical reactions. These cor- porations are operated from the standpoint of salesmanship, banking, and law. The companyis legal advisor sits in council to pass upon contracts, upon procedure in dealings with meng but the chemical advisor, he who understands materials, he who is responsible for the company's products and its good repute, is generally left out in the cold. American industry at large is still derelict in its calls upon the man of science to its councils. Whenever such calls are made, the American chemist res- ponds and sets himself to work with diligence. That so many of his efforts have been crowned with success is pleasant to contemplate, but the way of progress does not lie in contemplation alone. The chemist does not mean to inflict the technical knowledge of the profession on the public, but he does mean that there should be more than a slight comprehension CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL 53 of the fact that chemistry lies at the bottom of industrial independence, that for the future welfare of our people we must recognize this fact and give it support in mat- ters pertaining to legislation, economics, and politics. He does mean that the public should see to it that the chemist as an individual citizen plays a more important part in our affairsg that not alone when the health of the nation, the prosperity of the na- tion, the safety of the nation are seriously endamaged should he be called out of his laboratory, but that on all occasions when councils are convened he should be sum- moned among the lirst.

DEBATING ALEATHEIA DEBATING ASSEMBLY SOCIETY Eh? 2-Xletheia The Aletheia, which is now the second oldest society in the school, has just completed the most successful year, perhaps, in its history. Under the able direc- tion of Miss Hunt, whose aid and advice have been much appreciated, the girls of the school have enjoyed many of the same privileges and debating advantages as the boys have in their society. The social side of school activities has not been forgotten, however, for besides having many of the faculty as speakers during the year at its meetings, the Aletheia planned a Hallowe'en dance in North High Gym. Unfor- tunately, the idea had to be dropped, and a Hallowe'en party in the school corridors was substituted. A Christmas Party and Valentine Party followed, and all three may be classified as 'igreat successes. The officers for the year were: First term-President, Helen Mullins, Vice- President, Agnes Rileyg Secretary, Marguuerite Rebbolig Treasurer, Mary Foley. Second Term-President, Elizabeth B. Foleyg Vice-President, Hazel Petersong Secretary, Marguerite Rebbolig Treasurer, Rosa Greeko. Third term-President, Margaret Mahoneyg Vice-President, Aina Obergg Secretary, Marguerite Rebbolig Treasurer, Rosa Greeko. Fourth term-President, Mary Foleyg Vice-President, Hazel Petersong Secretary, Mary Lynchg Treasurer, Charlotte Revzin. The Senior members are: Margaret Bowler, Alice M. Barrett, Beatrice Bernier, Elizabeth Foley, Margaret Foley, Mary Foley, Rose Grace, Helen Guthro, Philomena Loughlin, Margaret Mahoney, Helen Mullins, Aina Oberg, Grace Qdlum, Hazel Peterson, Anna Power, Mabel Stead, Rosa Greeko, Eleanor Phillips, Ruth Martin. lggthagnrvan Qlluh The Pythagorean Club has, this year, continued, or rather augmented, its success of last year, although along a slightly different line. It was decided at the first of the term to devote the meetings of the club to the study of astronomy. This has certainly proved an interesting subject, as any member can testify. The club has continued its policy of last year, admitting only those as members who have maintained a meritorious grade in mathematical studies. Meetings have been held every second Monday in the afternoon, in Room 8. Two special meetings of considerable importance have been called. The first was held at night and the society went, under the guidance of Miss Pierce who has been largely responsible for the success of the club, to view the stars. This meeting was greatly enjoyed and was the source of increased knowledge concerning astronomy. The second special meeting was held in the Physics Lecture Room and consisted of a stereopticon lecture on astronomy. The officers of the first half year were: President, Paul Sheddg First Vice- President, Arthur I-louleg Second Vice-President, Wesley Mellquistg Secretary, Rose P. Grace, Treasurer, Richard Whitcomb. For the second half year: Pres- ident, Paul Sheddg First Vice-President, Arthur l-louleg Second Vice-President, Rose Graceg Secretary, Mary Kennedyg Treasurer, James Quinn. Ghz Qilanuinal iljigh Eehating Surietg The Classical High Debating Assembly is a relatively new society of the school. This is only the second year of its existence, but its value has been thoroughly proved. It is a noticeable fact that every member of the interclass debating teams, from Freshmen to Seniors, were also members of the Assembly. This is also true of our successful Amhest Cup Team. A regular program, including declamations, debate, floor debate, critic's report, and an extemporaneous address, has been. carried out at the bi-Weekly meetings. On the evening of January IZ, a contest for a Declaiming Team to represent the school, was held and a team chosen. Challenges were issued to the other High Schools for declamation contests but none were accepted, except from North High Which later cancelled its agreement. The five members of the team gave a very suc- cessful program before the school, however, giving the speeches prepared by them for the contest. This team consisted of Eli Smith, ,2l, captain, Richard Whitcomb, '20, David Seder, '20, Stanley Kunitz, '22, and David Sandman, '23, At another time, a contest was held to choose a team to represent Classical in the inter-high debates. There were sixteen candidates and the following team was chosen: Walter lVlacAdam, captain, Aven Levenson. Hyman Berlyn, and Jacob Yanofsky, alternate. This team was very successful, winning both debates by unani- mous decisions. The officers chosen by the Assembly at the beginning of the year were: Harold Siegel, President: Richard Whitcomb, Vice-Presidentg ,lacob Yanofsky, Secretary, Executive Committee, Eli Smith, chairman, Walter lVlacAdarn, Stanley Kunitz. Those for the second term were: Hyman Berlyn, President, Paul Shedd, Vice- Presidentg Jacob Yanofsky, Secretary, Executive Committee, Eli Smith, chairman, Walter lVIacAdam, Richard Whitcomb. The final meeting of the year was attended by a few of the alumni who gave short talks to the members. A vote of thanks was also tendered to Mr. Howe, of our faculty, who has worked so diligently to help the Assembly to become a permanent success. We have great hopes that this society will become as well known and loved by the future alumni as it is by those of us who have enjoyed its privileges. 1 Amtpzrzt Glnp Brhatvs Perhaps never before has the interest in Inter-High School debates been so keen as it has this year. The spirit and fervor with which the high schools completed was noteworthy. Each was fired with earnest determination to secure the long-cov- eted Amherst Cup. The preliminary debates took place March 19, 1920. Commerce debated South at Classical while Classical debated North at Commerce. Both debates were on the question, Resolved: That the United States government should adopt a sys- tem of Universal Military Training. The Classical team upholding the afhrmative of the question consisted of Wal- ter T. MacAdam, Captain, Aven S. Levenson, and Hyman I. Berlyn. The team easily defeated North by a unanimous vote of the judges. The judges were City Librarian Robert K. Shaw, Atty. Raymond B. Fletcher, and Jesse W. Hubbard of the Normal School. Mr. Thos. F. Power, assistant superintendent of schools, pre- sided. The final Amherst Cup Debate was held May 21, 1920, in the North High School Hall between Classical and the High School of Commerce, the two victorious teams of the preliminary debates. The question for discussion was, Resolved: That a Daylight Saving Law, similar to the 1919 Federal Legislation, should be adopted as a permanent national policy. The judges were: Judge William T. Forbes, Postmaster James F. Healy, and Mr. Wilbur B. Sprague. Dr. Michael B. Fox, a member of the school committee, presided. Classical, represented by the same team and upholding the affirmative of the question again won by a unanimous deci- sion. Our debaters fairly covered themselves with glory. In both debates they were genteel in challenging their opponents. Too much cannot be said of their delivery and argument. In every phase of debating they proved themselves almost masters. ,ln both debates, because of the thorough training and hard work, the Classical team exhibited more knowledge on the arguments of the opposing side, than did their op- ponents. MacAdam,s ease in delivery and logical attack in rebuttal, Levenson's im- pressiveness, and Berlyn's immense sincerity all went towards the making of one of the best debating teams that Classical has ever entered in that particular Held. The splendid co-operation of Jacob I. Yanofsky, the alternate. in studying the opposite side of the question, proved invaluable. And all this wonderful accomplishment was wrought through determined endeavor. The boys in several cases made great self sacrifice. Indeed they have gloriously brought to Classical again, the Amherst Cup. Much credit is due also to Mr. Howe who as coach, by his encouragement and enthusiasm, aided the team to prosper. His tireless energy kept the team on their toes. To Miss Hunt and Mr. Farnsworth are also due thanks for their generous suggestions. May we again, next year, have an Amherst Cup Debating Team that will follow in the path of victory. Zlnter-Qllana Behatea Our class has the honor of having won the championship in the inter-class de- bates. The team to win it for us was: Hyman Berlyn, captain, David Seder, and I-larold Siegel. The first debate, between the Freshmen and Juniors, on 'iResolved: That Labor Unions do more good than harm, was awarded to the Juniors. The Junior team was Eli Smith, captain, Jacob Yanofsky, and Carl Johnson. The defeated Freshman team was John Comins, captain, jordan Sandman, and Aven Levenson. The second debate, of the Seniors against the Sophomores, was on the ques- tion, Resolved: That the Peace Treaty should be adopted without amendmentsf, and was won by our Senior team. The Sophomore team showed remarkable debating ability and if the same team represents their class next year, the present Juniors will be obliged to work hard for the title held by our class. This Sophomore team in- cluded Stanley Kunitz, captain, Robert Cotton, and Wilfred Beauclette. The final debate, on the question Resolved: That municipalities should own and control their public utilities, was a hard won victory for our team and showed, to advantage, the ability of all six participants. We should give great credit to our three representatives, for, last year, these same three defeated the strong Senior team, thus giving us the honor of holding the championship two consecutive years. Evrlaiming Gram The formation of a team for the purpose of opposing the other high schools in a declaiming contest is not a new event at Classical, since a team was selected for this purpose last year. Challenges were issued at that time to the other schools but none would accept, stating that it was too late in the term to organize a team but that the matter would be considered in the fall. So, last winter sixteen Classical men pre- sented themselves as candidates for the Classical High Declaiming Team. Eli Smith was chosen by the judges for captain and the following men as the other mem- bers: Richard Whitcomb, David Seder, Stanley Kunitz and Jordan Sandman. The other high schools were again challenged and the challenge was accepted by one of them, The team members immediately set to work learning their speeches and were progressing wonderfully when the school which had accepted the challenge with- drew its acceptance. It was arranged, therefore, that the team, whose speeches were practically learned, should give their program before the school and it was very suc- cessfully presented. Vve hope that in future years a Declaiming Team will not only be selected but that a chance will be presented for it to show its worth against a team from another school. Mitts' C5122 Cllluh At times they would warble, at times they would be stage-struck, but finally came the time when they actually could sing-and sing well. This is, in brief, the story of the Girls' Glee Club, which was organized first in l9l 9. The Club has met with great success this past year, having appeared several times before the school. It rendered a new selection, The Classical Spirit, which received great applause, at the Alumni Day Reunion. The success of the girls is due almost wholly to the untiring efforts of Miss Ger- trude Souther, its organizer and leader. Miss Souther entertained the members at a social in the school hall at which there was dancing, and a general social hour was enjoyed. The officers were: Aina Oberg, Presidentg Dorothy Costello, Vice-President, Margaret Mahoney, Secretaryg Hazel Peterson, Treasurerg Rose Ryan, Freshman Representative: and Julia Goldman, pianist. The other members are: Edith Anderson Evelyn Asselta Leona Baciunka Catherine Bastly Elsie Becklund Beatrice Bernier Margaret Bowler Margaret Broderick Edna Bryant Gertrude Doyle Gunhild Elfstrom Elizabeth Foley Louise Foster Madeline Foster Rose C-race Esther Kendall Rose Lane Helen Larson Helen McDermott Katherine Morrissey Josephine Nlusgrove Hazel Paquette Frances Payne Eleanor Phillips Katherine Batter Evelyn Raymond Dorothy Morstadt Ruth Roberts Dorothy Chafhn Margaret Rebboli Charlotte Revzin Margaret Riordan Anno. Ryan Marion Spayne , 1 1 5 i.. 51112 tbrrhwtra This completes the third year of the C. l-l. S. Symphony Club. A valu- able addition to the orchestra was the line set of drums and bells procured by the school. At the first of the year no less than fifteen violinists and three pianists answered the call for candidates, but it seemed as if no other instruments could be procured. However, after persistent work on the part of Miss Souther, who has coached the orchestra so successfully this year, a number of other instrumental artists were induced to participate. The orchestra has played at all the important exercises in the hall as well as at several events outside the school. A capable dance orchestra was developed from the larger school orchestra and has played at nearly all the school dances. The members of this Jazz Four were Albert Wassell, George Elias, Charles Nutt, and either Julia Goldman or Rosa Greeko. The following students were members this year: First Violins Albert Wassell '21, Hector Rocheford '21, George Elias '2l, Anita Meiselman '22, Raymond Rosenthal '23, Alice Bunker '2l, Maurice Ravelson '23. Second Violins Evelyn Asselta '22, Peter Illberg '23, Jessie Lehmer '22, Victoria Zakrzewska '23, and Monica Connor '23, Piano Julia Goldman '23, Rosa Greelco '20, Anna Jasem 'ZI.

GQ Stuhent Qlnunril The Student Council was tried for the first time at Classical last year, and has been more fully organized during this past season. It is made up one member from each room and the officers of the Senior and Junior classes. At the beginning of the year the council elected the following members as officers: Chairman, Walter lVlacAdamg V ice-Chairman, Eric Peterson, Secretary, Agnes Rileyg Treasurer, George Naphen. The council has discussed several very important issues during the year. Action was instituted by the council to obtain a temporary gymnasium for the school and a petition was drawn up by the members and circulated through the school. The petition was sent to the School Committee, who voted to appro- priate a sum of money for the purpose, but here the matter seems to have been dropped. Complete information was obtained in regard to a school paper, but the proposition appeared impractical, since a good portion of the term had passed and the issue was postponed for action by next year's council. Another important issue brought up was concerning an Athletic Council. The matter was discussed, plans were laid, and a council formed. This proposition is undoubtedly a good one, and it is hoped that next year the work of the Athletic Council will assist materially in placing Classical on the athletic map. The members also served as the reception committee on Alumni Day and at the mid year, when new pupils entered the school. The Council has obviously been a benefit to both pupils and teachers, and we sincerely hope it will become a fixture. QI. EH. 9. Bailg'Nntea At the first of the year, in the absence of lVlr. Porter, the Daily Notes were instituted. Space was set aside by each teacher on the blackboards and all events of importance were inscribed on these spaces each day. The idea was conceived by Charles Nutt and was taken up by the leaders of the various organizations, who divided the work among themselves. Later, the Student Council took over the matter and made each representative responsible for his own room. The news was secured from the master-board in Room 6. At first the idea worked well, each man caring for his assigned work conscientiously, but gradually the efficiency has declined. The scheme is a good one, however, and we hope it will continue, at least until such time as Classical shall have a school paper. Alumni Bag lsn't this ,perfectly splendid? lt sure is great to see the dear old place again! Where have you been all this time? I am just delighted to see you! Why didn't we ever think of this before? Such were the ejaculations heard from time to time at our Alumni Day Re- union, December 23, I9I9. The hearts of the undergraduates fhosts and host- essesj, the teachers, and oflour alumni guests were filled, I may safely say, with joy almost to the verge of tears. Why cIidn't we ever think of this before? We do not know, but we do know that this innovation so well planned and successfully carried out by Miss Dodge, Miss Walsh, Mr. O'Flynn, and the Student Council will remain an annual school function. That same old hall, which has been and will be the center of our Alma Mater's activities was attractively and appropriately decorated with college banners and fresh foliage. Up the aisles at II A. M. marched the Class of 1916, followed respectively by the Classes of 'I 7, I8, and 'I9. After a preliminary greeting by Mr. Porter, the air resounded with the cheer: A-I-u-m-ri-i -and 'DPC meant it. Then an old H - S placed us all, theoretically, on mutual terms. What a sacred silence then pervaded the hall as the chosen alumni speakers told of their college activities, pledged their loyalty, and extended their greetings! Neil Leonard, '17, began with an eloquent oration on Friendship, He spoke of Colby College. Stanley Milton, 'I 7, followed with his greetings from Williams. Miss Ruth Jennings, '17, spoke interestingly of Radcliffe. Wellesley was extolled by Miss E. Kimball. Paul Landry, 'I8, maintained his former oratorical fame as the representative from Clark. Of the Class of I9I9, Miss Beatrice Jaques told of Smith, George Mason entertained with his humorous Dartmouth freshman ex- periences, and Edward Brown of l-loly Cross ably completed the list of the Alumni speakers. By cheers and entreaties, our beloved and esteemed Mr. Goodwin, former principal, was induced to speak a few words of welcome. After singing of The Classical Spirit by the Glee Club, the Hall exercises were suspended to be resumed in the corridor on the first floor. There the syncopated music told that dancing might be possible. The dancing was not only possible, but excellent. Why? Was it the rough floor? Was it the aged, toneless piano? No! It was the spirit-the perennial, binding Classical Spirit!-and everybody was so happy! SJ. QB. Sv. Saatnrimg The call for volunteers was given the day before. We all caught the S. O. S. spirit and assembled, bright and early the next morning at the corner of Pearl and Main Street, armed with picks and shovels. It was a fine morning, the fresh crisp air only increasing our ardor, while the warm sun seemed to laugh at the oddities of this curious band of S. O. S. volunteers assembled at the corner of the city's leading thoroughfare on Shovel Out Saturday morning. We were armed with shovels, no two of which were alike, and with picks of various sizes and de- nominationsg clad in coats and sweaters of various cuts and colors, and boots of divers stylesg in short, as widely different were our arms and apparel as are the modes and habits of men, when allowed to travel their separate roads unmolested by any superior power which steps in and uniforms all to suit his particular fancy. Thus we waited for the arrival of General Porter and for the word to advance. The minor officers of the staff, all members of the faculty, had already arrived and were shouting orders to their respective companies. We were all very eager to start the fray and do our share. In a short time the General arrived, clad in a large gray sweater, and armed with a shovel still larger, and the word for advance was given. We marched in a northerly direction up Pearl Street, while the jingling of our shovels and the boisterous clamor attracted the notice of passing pedestrians who stopped short in their tracks to gaze on this strange band of shovel-armed men. When we had marched, in this manner, half way up the street, the order was given to separate into two divisions. The first, under General Porter, was to remain where it was and guard the southern end of the street, while the second division, under Colonel Howe marched northerly, and established their post at the Chestnut Street entrance. Orders were sent around to the effect that all empty teams coming down the street were to be filled with snow, and if one division failed to accomplish this, the second was to finish the task. These orders were strictly obeyed, to the sorrow of some dissenting teamsters. The ma- jority, however, possessed of the 5. O. S. spirit plus a sense of humor, did not resist the menacing front of our divisions. Between whiles, when no teams were in sight, we amused ourselves by snow-ball fights, or by accidentally dropping a shovel full of snow down the neck of one of our comrades. What followed these accidents is difficult to describe, but we certainly enjoyed it. We also sang the latest songs fdrowning our- selves in High C , or built snow monuments in honor of Classical. Our officers were very democratic, often taking part in these friendly sports. Officers O'Regan and O'Flynn were detailed as scouts and spent their time looking for a natural outlet for the snow, while Count Wilson and Captain Dowd helped to brighten up our spirits. While the fray was waging hot, we were honored by a visit from Comman- der-in-chief Gruver who complimented us on our enthusiasm. Then the photographer from a local paper came and took our picture, all in a bunch, and the next day you could see our likeness anywhere for four cents. At about ten in the morning we were relieved by two divisions from North High, and we left the street with lusty 72 THE AFTERMA TH cheers for Classical and North. We were content with having done our share, and took our way home, there to live all over again the thrilling experience of S. O. S. morning. Ghz i5nrnrt The Hornet stung the Seniors so effectively that it resulted in the gratifying success enjoyed by the business board in securing advertisements. The Hornet was originated when the call for advertisements was keenest. Its aim was to keep two facts before the class: first, to instigate Seniors to get adsg secondly, to show the importance of having a school paper. The news was both general and finan- cial, and was always enjoyed by all, as indicated by the group that always gathered around the bulletin board where it was posted. The Hornet was a weekly, and six numbers were published. Colored borders served to make the Hornet exceed- ingly attractive. Undoubtedly, Classical will have a paper in the near future, since it is an invaluable asset to a school. JSQGIH 5 Q f I U Q -- li E - Q ' , 5 N 1 9 ix Ei ' h-1 WIDDD x 0 me 9. C A7 W, an A y mm + A fx C A Sadie H Ghz Sveninr Slvigh iltihr To the Class of l92O comes the distinction, along with many others, of being the only ones ever known to have a sleigh-ride in trucks. Nevertheless, it was a 'ihowlingn success, and there is much doubt as to whether as good a time could have been enjoyed had we gone in sleighs. To begin with, the night was perfect. All those who were to attend this joyous party met in front of the school building at 6.30, and by seven the two trucks were packed to the limit and ready to start. Holden town hall was the destination of the merrymakers, and in a comparatively short time it was reached. A hot lunch was served in banquet form and a toast was given to the boys by Miss Oberg and to the girls by Thomas Donaher. After partaking most liberally of all that was placed before them, the diners went upstairs and enjoyed dancing until about eleven- thirty when all piled into the trucks once more for the return journey. One of the trucks had the misfortune, if it may be called such, inasmuch as its occupants were not in the least bit peeved, of being delayed for a short while on the road. All in all it was a wonderful occasion which will be remembered for some time to come. The committee which worked so hard for the success of the sleigh-ride was composed of Thomas Donaher, chairmang Walter MacAdam, Samuel Price, Agnes Riley and Margaret Foley. The chaperones who so willingly gave their time to supervise the sleigh-ride were: Miss Margaret M. Walsh and Allan G. Rice. Girls itieziernezi Eagaar On the evening of April 24, l92O, the Classical Girls Reserves held a bazaar at the Y. W. C. A. Misses Oberg and Rafter, dressed as gypsies, amused their friends by telling fortunes. Miss Williams sold candy, cakes, etc. Miss Green- berg had charge of a fishing game which was enjoyed by many. Dancing was in order during the evening, the music being played by some of the Classical pupils. The feature of the evening was the auction at the close of the dancing. Charles Nutt took the part of actioneer and disposed of cakes, candy, May-baskets, etc. All who attended the Bazaar enjoyed it very much. Swim: Banquet The Senior Banquet, which will be held June l4, at the State Mutual Res- taurant, at the time when the AFTERMATH is going to press, is still an awaited event. But that it will be a real success can be predicted now without any fear of its being otherwise. The Senior Banquet, undoubtedly, will be the best affair that our class has conducted, as only Seniors can attend, and thus bring their high school days to a close in a most memorable way. The committee, which is composed of Thomas Donaher, chairman, Margaret Foley, Philomena Loughlin, Hyman Berlyn, and Milton Frankel, has prepared a very appropriate program for this occasion. The program will be as follows: Toastmaster, DAVID SEDER SPEECH .... Prin. Chester T. Porter TOAST TO CLASS . . Walter MacAdam TOAST TO GIRLS . . Tom Donaher TOAST TO FACULTY . . Hyman Berlyn TOAST TO BOYS .... Agnes Riley The members of the faculty who will attend the banquet are: Mr. Porter, Miss Dodge, Mr. Dowd, Miss Walsh, and Mr. Rice. Swim iirnm The wonderful time that we all had at the Senior Prom will long be remem- bered by us all. The prom took place on Friday evening, April 16th, in Terpsi- chorean Hall. Music was furnished by Shapiro's Jazz Orchestra, and one's feet couldn't help wiggling to the music, which was superb. The prom was well attended by former Classical High boys and girls, and old acquaintances were gladly renewed. During intermission refreshments were served, and then dancing again resumed. Everyone left at twelve olcloclc, and all had a great time. The faculty members were guests of the Seniors and the committee which so ably managed the Senior Prom consisted of Walter MacAdam, chairman, joseph Kelley, Mabel Stead, Agnes Riley and Samuel Price. A midnight luncheon was enjoyed by the merry- makers at the Capitol Lunch. Fond memories of the 1920 Senior Prom! 01. ll. 9. Illnnthall Banu, Upon the apparent failure of the Aletheia dance, a committee, consisting of Charles Nutt, Richard Whitcomb and Walter lVlacAdam, laid plans before the school for a football dance. The date was set as November Zlst, l9l9, and tickets were placed on sale ten days ahead. The committee secured various artists of the school to draw up ads concerning the dance. These depicted all the good things to be attained-from the picture of the beautiful girl to be met there to the Jazz Orchestra. The dance was held at the North High gymnasium, which was very attractively adorned with the national colors. The Aletheia girls most kindly took charge of the decorating, using for this purpose the money solicited by selling tickets for their proposed dance. The social was attended by a large crowd, and everyone had a fine time. About twenty dollars was made and turned over to the School Athletic Fund. Alumni Basketball Game aah Baan, , On the evening of December 23rd, l9l9, which was set as Alumni Day at Classical, the school basketball team met in a friendly match with a team composed of Alumni. The players for the Alumni were Aldrich, Golembeskie, Perry, Bernot, J. Stanton and Sheffield. The school live was virtually swamped by the graduates. After the game, which was in the North High Gym, the jazz artists of the Classical High Orchestra started their musicC?D and an enjoyable evening of dancing was experienced. The dance closed at eleven o'clock. After the good time in the morning at the school, on the First Annual Alumni Day, the game and dance served as a very happy climax. Everyone returned home well contented and with a great liking for this new idea of bringing together the graduates of the school. Uhr Aletheia 3HalIuwr'm Martg The first social of any nature to be conducted for the school this year was the Aletheia Hallowe'en Party. For some unknown reason the members of the school did not buy enough tickets to make it a success. The party was planned for the evening of October thirtieth, and was to take place in the North High Gym. At the last moment, it was necessary to announce that the party was postponed until November Zlst. The Aletheia, however, was not going to let Hallowe'en pass without some celebration, so, on the evening of October 3lst, the society gave a free dance to all students in the school. This was given in the corridors of the school building, which was decorated in the I-lallowe'en colors of orange and black. The committee responsible for this good time consisted of Josephine Musgrove, chairmang Marion Cooper, Rosa Greeko, Marguerite Rebboli, and Eleanor Phillips. Ghz Alrtheia Qlhrintmaa Marin The party given by the society at I-lallowe'en was such a success that the girls decided to give a second social of the same kind. The party was limited to invited members of the school. It took place on the evening of December l2th. The school was decorated with red and white streamers and Christmas bells and tinsel. Part of the school orchestra was secured and they furnished excellent dance music. There were not as many present as at the usual school socials, but nearly all were good dancers and there were consequently fewer wall-flowers. Nearly everyone seemed to think that at a small informal affair such as this was the people become better acquainted with each other, and hence they have a better time than at a large public dance. The girls who arranged this affair were Rosa Greeko, Marion Cooper, Marguerite Rebboli, Hazel Peterson and Aina Oberg. Aletheia Halentine liartg The girls could not let Valentine's Day go by without some celebration, and consequently, on Friday evening, February l3th, the school corridor was decorated with recl and white streamers, hearts and cupids. The girls are not at all supersti- tious and although it was Friday the l3th, they had a large attendance and a very enjoyable time. Music was furnished by Miss Julia Goldman, a member of the school orchestra, and during intermission a Victrola was used. The committee who arranged this gay affair consisted of Aina Oberg. Hazel Peterson, Beatrice Bernier and Marion Cooper. The chaperones were Miss Hunt, Miss Fiske, Mr. Farnsworth and Mr. Post. lluninr lirum The evening of April 30th was the time set for the juniors to have a little merry-making. The Prom was held at the North High Gymnasium, and there was a large attendance. Although it was feared at the time that it would not be a success, a large attendance of former Classical students saved the day, and all spent an enjoyable evening. Music was furnished by Kelley's Orchestra, and it certainly was good jazz. The committee who arranged this affair was: Carl Johnson, chairmang Hyman Smolensky, Margaret Riordan, Virginia Wilde, and Alfred Nardi. The members of the faculty who so willingly gave their time to chaperone the Junior Prom were: Miss Margaret M. Walsh, Miss Georgianna Fiske and Mr. Allan G. Rice. Ghz .Buniur Mimi: The Junior Picnic was a complete success and served as a grand finale to our Junior Year, since it was held on the last clay of school. School closed at I2 o'clock and then the members of the party met at the Union Station, where they all boarded the Fitchburg trolley for their destination, Whalom Park. The party arrived at about 2.30 o'clock. Cheers and songs were not neglected on the cars and the suburban towns were given good warning of the passing by of the Classical merry- makers. Upon arrival in Whalom Park everyone took advantage of the various enjoyments and especially the canoeing. It was as though the lake was comman- deered by a Classical High Fleet. The members of the class of l92O were never known to neglect their stomachs and so they unpacked their lunches and ate in banquet style. The boys provided the tonic and a toast was given to the girls by Thomas Counihan and the response was by Aina Oberg. Speeches were in prog- ress, and after a jolly meal, the crowd enjoyed canoeing again and then patronized the dance hall. About IO o'clock in the evening, everybody boarded the Worcester car for home, sweet home. Again cheering and songs prevailed until we came to the City Hall, where farewells were made, and the crowd dispersed after agreeing that this was a wonderfully well spent day. The chaperones who contributed so much to the good time, were Allan G. Rice and Miss Margaret M. Walsh. STQLTETQ TI E iw 2 , ULWGXZ 'f 1 QU' , . 'Q + yn f I J 5 Y 'W , 6 if-Z : u if j d VQ-: b A ,.,. Zlinuthall The football team of l9l9 was not equal to some of those turned out of Classical in former years. This fact was greatly due to the lateness of the arrival of Mr. John E. Dowd, our coach, from France., and secondly, to the inexperience and lightness of the men on the team. Nevertheless, the old Classical, the old never-say-die spirit was exhibited in every game played. The first game was with Woonsocket I-Iigh, and Classical was defeated I4 to 0. Although considerably outweighed and far slower than Woonsocket, Classical put up a fine game. The next game, which was a practice game with St. John's High, Classical won 9 to 6. The first inter-school game was played against South, and Classical lost by the score of 6 to 0. Our boys fought till the last ditch, and when the game ended, they had succeeded in placing the ball on South's twenty-six yard line. Classical's second inter-school game was played against Commerce who easily beat our boys by the score of 34 to 0. The hard and lierce tackling of our versa- tile ends, Irv Gomez and ujackn Corash, featured the game. Classical's final game, also an inter-school game, was played against North. North barely squeezed a victory through, winning by the score of 6 to 0. Captain Al Brown of Classical, who gave a remarkable exhibition of open-field running, was the real star of the game. Seniors on the team were Capt. Al Brown, Tossie Stanton, I-luskyn Peterson, Walter lVlacAdam, Tom Egan, Joe Kelley and Eddie Nelson. Chubby Leyden was elected captain and Jack Corash manager for next year. . SCHEDULE Sept. 27. Classical 0 Woonsocket 4 Oct. 7. Classical 0 South 6 Oct. 21. Classical O Commerce 34 Nov. 4.

Only one man who played on last year's first team came back to school this fall. For a time it seemed probable that we would have no coach, or at least an inexperienced one, but finally Polly Woodward, an ex-South High School star, was secured. His was a superhuman task-to mould a team from material in which there were hardly any experienced players. This team, though only partially successful, has a number of players who do not graduate- this year, and there is, therefore, great hope for a good quintet next winter. Much credit is due to Richard Whitcomb who apparently believes in the motto, Practice makes perfect, and secured a long schedule of games. The Seniors on the team were Captain Counihan, Egan, Peterson, Stanton, lVlcKeon and Siegel. Next year's captain is Phil Delphos, and the Class of l92O wish him all the luck in the world.

Classical 3 W. P. I. Seconds H 9 Classical II Bartlett High, Webster Eazrhttll The baseball team this year showed, to our satisfaction, exactly what may be accomplished by hard work. At the opening of the season things looked pretty dark for Classical. Only two veterans from last year's team remained, around whom a team was to be built, and the majority of the candidates for the various positions were youngsters with little or no experience. Nevertheless, under the leadership of Coach Jack Cantwell, who for the second time this year has proved his real worth, this team, at the time when the AFTERMATI-I is going to press, seems capable of giving a good account for itself. Tom Donaher who, as manager, procured a number of outside games from which real experience could be gained, deserves a great deal of credit for the success of this team. The season opened against Commerce, who beat our boys by the score of I3 to 2. This was due in great part to the inexperience of our boys, most of whom played for the first time in an inter-school game. Nevertheless, this defeat did not discourage them in the least, but caused them to fight all the harder. Then followed a game with St. Markfs, which our boys lost IO to 6. But the experience they gained offset in great part this defeat. Next they played North- bridge, which team they beat I2 to 4. The next game was an interschool game against South, and our boys won by the score of 2 to 0. Tunney pitched a masterful game for Classical, striking out twelve batters, and our boys supported him in a manner which would do credit to a far more experienced team. Our next opponent was Commerce, the team which at the beginning had trim- med us so decisively and expected to repeat. But a surprise was in store for them, for our boys, who gave a remarkable exhibition of grit, beat them 9 to 4. The first inning Commerce scored two runs, but this did not unnerve or rattle our boys, for they finally came through victorious. After this memorable game, followed a game with Framingham, which our boys lost 20 to 9. ln our second contest with South, the team displayed a sad reversal of form, being loose in fielding and less effective at bat. Hence we lost 8 to 5. But the bitterest was in store for us, for the rejuvenated North High team, with the aid of former ineligibles, routed us I4 to 2. Finally came the last postponed game with North, in which we were again worsted, this time l l to l. It is but fair to state that Tunney had been ill and out of school for nearly at week before the last two games and was in no condition to do himself justice. The Seniors on the team were Capt. Al Brown, Mgr. Tom Donaher and Spud Murphy. For next year there will be practically the same team as this year, which fact ought to aid materially in bringing the championship our way at last. ' I Efrark The track team of l920 was one of the best in the history of the school. To 'ljacku Cantwell, who developed from a bunch of raw recruits a splendid team, goes most of the credit for this fact. Much credit also is due to Captain Smolen- sky and Manager Roy Peterson, who worked unceasingly for the success of this team. ln the indoor track meet held in the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium, Classical came out third. Joe Zemaitis and Gordon Dowd coming out first in the 40-yard dash and high jump, respectively. Next came an indoor meet against Hartford, in which the cream of the four high schools represented Worcester. Zemaitis and Hammond made the trip to Hartford as representatives of Classical. Ham- mond placed third in the 880, and Zemaitis ran on the relay team. Hartford beat Worcester by a small margin. The first outdoor track meet for our boys was the Amherst lnterscholastics and seven men, together with Coach Cantwell, made the trip. Zemaitis, who came out second in the l00, and fourth in the 220, was the only man to place for Classical. Next came the big event of the year, the Class C-ames. Classical did some splendid work, and came out third among the high schools, scoring twenty-one and one-half points. Zemaitis came in second in the l00 and 220g Alvarez won the pole vault and secured fourth in the 440, Captain Smolensky came in second in the 880, and Roy Petterson third in the pole vault. The relay team, composed of Nelson, Ferguson, Hammond and Smolensky, finished first. Due to scholastic troubles, only one man, Zemaitis, who failed to place, represented Classical in the Harvard lnterscholastics. One more meet, an outdoor meet with Hartford, in Worcester is due to be run off after the AFTERMATH is sent to press. Only three Seniors, Fer- guson, Nelson and Zielinski were on the track team, so. with the aid of ulackn Cantwell, who we hope will remain as coach, and the majority of this year's team, undoubtedly Classical will be found at the top of the pile when next season has gone down into history. Glenna - Qluuntrg Classical, although coming in last in the final cross-country results, really had one of the best teams in the history of the school. In the first contest over the Green Hill course, a distance of a mile and a half, Classical took fourth place. Two Seniors, George Ferguson and Jimmy Conlon, taking the eighteenth and nine- teenth places respectively. In the second run over the longer Green Hill course, a distance of two miles and a quarter, Classical failed to score a point. In the final cross-country run from North High to Coes Square and back, a distance of between four and four and one-half miles, Classical came in third. George Ferguson fm- ished thirteenthg Al Nardi, fourteenthg Jimmy Conlon, sixteenthg and Bert Alvarez, seventeenth. In the final standing Classical was last, scoring a total of thirty-seven points in the three cross-country runs. Much thanks is given to Mr. Farnsworth, who gave up some of his most valuable time in order to assist the members of the cross-country team and to aid them in building up a team for next year which should profit by this year's experience.

S. bowling team, which was composed of Walter lVlacAdam, captaing Samuel Price, Hyman Srnolensky, Richard Whitcomb and utlaclcn Auger, had quite a successful season this year. Bowling as yet is a novelty, but we may be assured that future years will see Classical thoroughly alive to this fine sport. SCHEDULE Nov. 20. C. H. S. 3 Commerce I Dec. 4. C. H.

For three years they have come out third in the inter-school, inter-class series, only winning a game from the South High girls each year. Our Freshman year found us with a very fast team, but the best we could do was to obtain third place in the high school series. Our second year, there was dif- ficulty in getting a place to practice, and in our third year very few girls came out for the class team, so that the l9ZOB team was third each year. In our Senior year more interest was taken in basketball by the girls than ever before. This fact accounts for our class having a representative team. The season opened January 5th against South, and for the first time in four years our girls were defeated by South by the score of 35 - 33. January 28th we played North, which team, by the way, had been the champion team in l9l9, and defeated them by the score of 34 to 30. February llth, the Classical girls were defeated by the crack Commerce team 49 to 28. Although the score does not sound very well, it meant second place for Classical, as they had piled up a larger score than any other team against the Commerce girls.

The second game was played against North, October twenty-third, and our girls were barely defeated by the score of l to 0. Miss Stead and Miss Margaret Wehinger, two Senior girls, did some splendid work for Classical. The last game of the inter-high school series was played against Commerce November sixth, and Classical was beaten 7 to 0. Again Miss Mabel Stead starred for Classical. The Senior girls on the team were: Miss Mabel Stead fcaptainb, Anna Power, Margaret Bowler, Margaret Mahoney, Margaret Wehinger and Gertrude Griffin.

She looked shy, but you certainly found out that appear- ances are sometimes deceiving in her case. Alice was a great basket-ball fan, especially at the girls' games. Next year she goes to Normal School, and the class of '20 wishes her good luck. Her ways were ways of quietness. THE AFTERMA TH JOHN PATRICK BARRY fohn Born, July 24, l902, Worcester, Mass.

She was the only feminine member of the Physics class. But the solid and menacing front of male wits did not daunt her plucky nature. She went ahead and showed the boys that a woman can still hold her own, even when hopelessly outnumbered, and finished first in the class. Our compliments to you, Esther.

Mr. Wilson often solved the problem by calling him Monsieur Parisfi Hy was a lady's man, a man's man, and-a teacher's man. He was one of our mathematical prodigies- and how he could argue! As member of the senior debating team, president of the C. H. S. Debating Assembly, and member of our brilliant Amherst Cup team, he well proved his declamatory powers. Nor does this entirely cover his school activitiesg for he was our class prophet and served on the Aftermath Board. Hymie will bestow his oratory upon Harvard, where he will surely be a credit to his Alma Mater. Right well could he advise, and judge and plead And draw up wisely every sort of deed.

Winnie is also a very talented dancer, and the school socials are always honored with her presence. She intends to go to Nor- mal School, where we feel sure that her winning per- sonality will bring her success in whatever she under- takes. Imagination was the ruling power of her mind. THE AFTERMA TH HAROLD JAMES BROWN Harold, Lanlg Born, May l5, 1903, Worcester, Mass. Upsala Street School. HLank is a tall, light-haired boy and the originator of the famous Brown,' grin. He was well known both as an economist and as a dancer, and he always took an interest in short girls. They do say that op- posites attract, you know. You could easily tell what had just happened by looking at Lank. He was a room barometer. If he were grinning, Fair and XVarmer. If he were blushing-guess for yourself. Anybody with l..ank's disposition is sure to succeed, and so perhaps our well wishes are superfluous, but anyway he has them. Good nature is a magic key Whose art unloclgs all portals. JAMES ALLEN BROWN Al Allen Kid Born, February I7, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School Al is one of the most popular fellows in our class. Under the tutorship of coach Jack Dowd he be- came one of our best athletes. He was captain of the I9I9 football team and also of the l920 baseball team. ln the course of his high school career he has received no less than four W's and two C's. Along with his athletic ability he has also been able to show considerable ability in his scholastic standing, for he has finished his, course in three and one-half years. Al is going to Dartmouth next year and with him he will carry our best wishes. 'Alt is zz conquest for a prince to boast of. CHARLES JOSEPH BURNS Charlie Born, October 29, l0O2, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School Charlie is a fellow for whom the ladies seem to have no, or very little, attraction. He is a mans man and well liked by all the fellows. He is shy, quiet, not over-studious and seems to take a thorough interest in all school activities. Charlie is coming back to Classical in order to get some Hnishing touches before his coming out at Holy Cross, where he ex- pects to become a man of letters. A Man's a Man for A' That. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL MARY AMELIA BUTKIEWICZ Born, April l2, I902, Worcester, Mass. Lamartine Street School Behold a young lady with no nickname! Generally these tranquil misses have a score of them, but Mary is sadly deficient in that respect. Mary started her school career with the class of '2lA, but the ambition to graduate with our distinguished class seized her and she completed her course in three and a half years. We are mighty glad she did for she is a studious girl and made a welcome addition to our class. Mary is also an athlete as her records in basket ball indicate. Actions speak louder lhan words. THOMAS JOSEPH CALLERY H7-ami, Born, April 6, 1902, Xvorcester, Mass. Prep. Dix Street School Tom is a nice, short, little boy who likes C. H. S. exceedinglyg so much so, in fact, that he stayed with us an extra half year. He had a great many friends in Room 6, and spent quite a lot of time there, until one of his friends went back to New York. Now he meets the rest outside the door. He does not attend a great many school parties, but then, you canit tell a great deal about these quiet people. He grew ac- customed to dodgfejing this last year, and it is whis- pered that he is an expert. Tom has no idea of where he will go next year but anywhere he goes, good luck will go, too. A Calorie is u Heat Unit. WILLIAM POWER HENRY CARR Bill Born, May 27, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. Bill is a member of our class, who, while he has been rather quiet, has a fine collection of excuses for not having his lessons prepared. However, he usually manages to get along, and rumor has it that several of his teachers, especially those in the English depart- ment, have agreed that Bill can accomplish wonders in writing compositions. His hobby is dancing, and a sure sign whether there has been a dance the night be- fore, is to see if Bill is absent. Bill', intends to go to Holy Cross next fall to gain the necessary education for becoming a lawyer, and if he can give his clients as good alibis as those he thinks up in class, well, we predict a marvellous future for him. Harff the music,-lefs dance ana' be merry. THE AFTERMA TH GOLDIE COHEN Goldie Born, December 5, 1903, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. Goldie is another member of the quieter set, of our class. But we are glad to have her as a member of it, for, although she doesn't say much, she radiates good humor by a happy disposition. Goldie is completing her high school course in three years in order to graduate with our class. She has made many friends in the class by her gentle manner, and we all wish her success in her undertakings at Boston Uni- versity, where she will enter in the fall. Of her smylyng she was ful .symple and co-ty. JAMES EVERETT CONLON fimmic Born, April 27, l902, Worcester, Mass. Upsala Street School In Jimmie we find combined the abilities of an athlete and of a scholar, for he was one of the four who placed in cross-country this year, and his class- mates well know his scholastic abilities. James is another of our class members who never speaks unless he has something worth while saying, but he is certainly full of wit and always is ready to greet you with his smile. Jimmie expects to further his natural abilities at Boston University next fall. Words show the wit of man, but actions his meaning. Jimmie has both. Wlien well-form'd taste, and sparkling wil unite, With manly lore. THOMAS LAWRENCE COUNIHAN HY-volnn Born, February l2, l903, Vvorcester, Mass. Greendale School Tom's popularity with our class began upon our very entrance to Classical in the fall of l9l6. We have proof of this in that he was our first Class Presi- dent. Although his duties in this office were few he performed them well, as is his custom with all duties. Tom is also an athlete of no slight ability, for he was captain of this year's basketball team and the only veteran from last year's team. Our class expects great things from our basketball captain at Tech next fall. As is the lvorffman, so is the work. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL GERALD ALOYSIUS CROWLEY ferry Born, April 4, I902, Worcester, Mass. Upsala Street School. Jerry didn't say very muchg but what he did say was worth saying. His mannerly behavior and bril- liance in mathematics were appreciated by the teachers. But Jerry was by no means the everlasting passive student. When with his friends his genial grin bespoke his inherent Irish Wit. A family misfortune prevented Jerry from remaining with us as a P. G., but he re- turns to graduate with our class. Jerry has not definite- ly decided his future plansg but he intends to enter either the Lowell Textile School or Framingham Nor- mal. Young men of Jerry's stamp always succeed. 'A-Blilhe and alellonair- THOMAS HENRY DONAHER Tom Danny Tee Born, July 25, l903, Worcester, Mass. Upsala Street School. Tom, although naturally a rather quiet young fellow, is well-liked by all his classmates. Tom is one of those fellows, rarely found, who works un- ceasingly for his class and his school and asks no praise in return. His work on the sleighride committee was in great part responsible for its success. Dunny is senior representative on the student council from Room 5, which fact in itself is enough to show our opinion of him. Furthermore Dunny is baseball manager and there is no doubt that Classical has had a real spicy schedule. Tom chooses Holy Cross and undoubt- edly his record there will be one to be proud of. Zeal and duly luring fCD!l1Td.n JOSEPH BERNARD DUSAK CCJOCDI Born, December 22, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. Here is a fellow whose abilities were never really discovered until he became a member of Mr. Post's English VII class. He has a remarkable ability-as a messenger boy, but it took Mr. Post to find it out, for Joe did not know it himself. In other words, Joe has starred twice as the messenger in Mr. Shakespeare's famous comedy Macbeth. Hjoel' has two hobbies-a Dodge Brothers' Touring car and a wireless. With both he is adept and, when started on either subject, it is almost impossible to shut him off, as evidenced by his neighbors during recita- tions. Joe is going to some technical school next year and we wish him the best of success. No wild enthusiast ever ye! could resi 'Til half mankind were like himself posscsseclf' T1-IE AF TERMA TH IDA EDINBERG 66199 Born, November I5, l902, Worcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. Ida is one of our few small girls. She does not say much, but when she does-Oh! that blush. Ida is very cordial of manner and has a smile for everyone she meets, thereby making friends everywhere. I's only fault is that her recitations can not be heard very w'ell, ten feet away, as she possesses a gentle and weak voice, but it is a little hard for the teachers, especially Mr. Post. Ida intends to enter Post's Business College and we all wish her success. ucheerfulness is the bright weather of the heart. THOMAS WILLIAM EGAN Tom Happy Born, December I3, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Lamartine Street School. Tom's one ambition seems to have been to leave on the pages of Classical's I-Iistory a record in athlet- ics, wonderfully good. I-Ie has succeeded, for he played on the football team two years and he was a star on this year's basketball team. Of course to ob- tain this record, it was necessary for I-lap to adopt, as a sort of sideline, the policy of study. It is too bad that Tom did not learn the art of dancing before he began his athletic career, for the girls would cer- tainly have commandeered him at our Leap Year dances. But Tom found himself far more at home with the fellows in a football rush or shooting bas-- kets than mingling with the girls at dances. Sindh Laclfsley, do than shoot. SAUI.. STANLEY FEINGOLD Sally Born, March 8, 1903, Worcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. Solly is one of the clever boys of our class. When reports came out, Solly always wore a broad smile, for only A's adorned it. I-Ie was popular with the faculty as well as with the students. He sat in Room 5, where he helped to entertain the class with his clever outbursts. Economics was his favorite study and Selly always took a live part in those heated discussions. I-Ie is an eminent follower of Terp- sichore and is a patron of all social affairs. In ap- pearance, Solly looks shy but ask some of his closer friends and they'll tell you otherwise. Solly intends to brighten the corridors of Boston University next fall and we all wish him great success. Theres no art to find the minds construction in the face. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL GEORGE FRANCIS FERGUSON Fergie Born, February 22, l903, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. George is one of our classmates who talks little and does much. l-le did not make his advent into the lime- light of school activities until his senior year, when he made his place in the inter-school cross-country runs. George seems to be rather bashful when members of the fair sex are mentioned, although he is quite popu- lar with them. He intends to hnish his education at Tech, and we shall not be surprised to see headlines in the newspapers a few years from now announcing his opinions in regard to the great mechanical problems of the future. - lt is the quiet people who accomplish much. FLORENCE MABEL FOGARTY Fluffy Born, December 27, l903, Worcester, Mass. Sever Street School. Now we come to a decidedly charming young Miss. Florence was a quiet, chummy sort of girl. Her ready smile was an emblem of good humor and agreeableness-nothing argumentative about Florence. Many a bashful swain was attracted by those amiable smiles and glances and ulziluffyn takes a victoris pride in her vanquished ones. For all her deliberative man- ners, Florence holds the distinction of having com- pleted her high school course in three years. Fluffy intends to enter Business College next autumn and our best wishes attend her. Pretty to lvallf with and witty to talk with. ELIZABETH BARBARA FOLEY Betty Eliz. Born, June 28, l902, Woi'cester, Mass. Meade Street School. Betty is one of the nicest girls in '20B. She was agreeable always, with the laugh that has made her famous, a good dancer, and a good student. She is a favorite with the class, the lunch counter people, the teachers and the school at large. Her rhymes are well known everywhere in the school, and as for economics-well, ask Mr. Rice about that. She was president of the Aletheia and is present at all its good times. Betty goes to Business College and we wish her success. Her laugh was music to our ears. THE AFTERMA TH MARGARET MARY FOLEY Peg Peggy The Foley Twin Born, December 22, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Abbott Street School. Peg is just what you'd expect her to be, a lovable nice girl. She is a good scholar, as all the faculty will testify, and a good sport, as all the seniors know. She looks shy, but when you know her, you change your mind. She is a pianist of rare ability, and she can dance-ask Mr. Rice. We all love the popular girl who belongs to the Student Council, is senior class secretary, and is prominent in the Aletheia. Our best wishes attend her to B. U. and when she is private secretary to the President, everybody in 'ZOB will say. Margaret Foley? why I went to school with her. I-Ie that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much. MARY JOANNA FOLEY Mary Born, September l8, l903, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School. Everybody liked Mary and everyone could tell you why. She had a keen, almost motherly interest in her classmates. Her studies were mastered with an ab- sorbing interest. There was nothing half-hearted about Mary. She was the kind of a friend that everyone de- lights in having-loyal, not averse to a good time, and clever. As to studies-a B was a novelty to her. Although excellent in all subjects fMary was one of our honor studentsj, she had a particular liking for physiology. Mary intends to develop her talents at some pre-medical school. Best wishes to the future M. Foley, M. D.! Oh! what a girl was Mary! MILTON SAMUEL FRANKEL Stretch Born, April 5, 1903, Worcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. Did you ever notice what a line pair of legs Milton has? He developed them by sprinting into Room 5 every morning just as the bell rang. In view of this fact, we don't wonder at his having been on the track team. Milton enjoys disagreeing with the best authori- ties on Shakespeare. His classmates enjoy it toog he consumes so much valuable class time. The girls always turn around, as he passes, to gaze at his manly Hgure. There will be many a pair of eyes watching his career at Dartmouth next year. Thou arl so far hefore That swiftest wing of recompense ls slow to overtake thee. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL NEI-IAMAH FREED Nehamah Born, March l5, 1903, Kertch, Russia. Ledge Street School. Although we cannot claim that Nehamah rivals Theda Bara, yet she gets along fairly well with the males. She evidently enjoyed being our class secretary for three years, for she intends to take up a private secretarial course at Columbia next year. Perhaps some of our ambitious young business men have already tried to engage her services. In school, Nehamah doesn't make a lot of noise but we have reason to sus- pect that she livens up considerably outside. We feel sure of her success for Nehamah always puts her best- self into her work. She is a woman who can command herself. SADIE IDA FRIEDMAN Sally Born, January I3, 1903, Spencer, Mass. Lamartine Street School. Sadie is one of the smartest girls of our class. She is of the quiet type who think more than they speak. She is a favorite among teachers and students and is always on the dot when it comes to lessons. Her re- ports often bespoke her real abilities. Outside of school Sadie's chief pastime is ragging the keys up and down the piano, and it was because of her talent in this practice that we chose her our class pianist. She intends to enter Boston University in the fall where she will study secretarial science. Our best wishes, Sadie. Steady and true as the stars that shine. SAMUEL GARFINKEL Sam p Born, September 25, I902, Moscow, Russia. Grafton Street School. A good descriptiontof Sam would be: that fellow who walks around never seeming to have any worries to trouble him, and who never appears to be in a hurry. Sam is a staunch believer in the art of camouliaging by means of dazzling the eyes, and the bright colors which he wears have often accomplished their purpose. As for lessons, Sam has never been known to study them too much, and his ingenious answers in class have elicited gasps of astonishment from his hearers. What Sam intends to do in the future we do not know, but whatever his line of work will be, Sam is going to accomplish enough to make us all proud that he was a member of our class. The apparel afl proclaims the man. THE AFTERMA TH BENJAMIN C-INNS uBenn Born, June 5, l90l, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School. Ben is one of the Uregularn fellows up at school, being affiliated directly or indirectly with nearly every innocent prank. You can always find him in his sit- ting room at recess where he devours a little extra knowledge to make up for an enforced vacation be- cause of illness in his junior year. Next year he in- tends to go to Tech where success will undoubtedly attend him, for Ben is hard working and ambitious. The heights by great men reached and kept Were not attained by sudden flight. NEI-IAMAI-I CLICK Nellie Born, January l7, I903, Worcester, Mass. Meade Street School. Nellie did not choose to join our class at first, but it proved so attractive that she could not resist the temptation. She is one of the many pupils who are finishing their course in three and one half years. She is a very quiet girl most of the time, although occa- sionally she shows herself to be the contrary. She is a clever girl in her studies and always manages to get her daily lessons prepared. Nehamah intends to go to Cambridge Normal next year and the best wishes ot the class go with her. Quiet, though noble and true lo all. JOSEPH GOLDBERG Hjoeu Born, March 29, l9U3, Bridgeport, Conn. Millbury Street Prep. Joe is that little fellow with his head crammed full of all sorts of information. He can always be de- pended on to give the right answer to some of his less fortunate classmates who accidentally happen to be un- prepared. l'le is a great student of history, especially of the ancient variety, and can rattle off names of Greeks and Romans, with amazing rapidity and ac- curacy. Joe is planning to increase his stock of learning at Clark College, and if he keeps on absorb- ing knowledge there in the same manner as he has done! here, we are certain that the ranks of the great scholars will be swelled by one more. Knowledge is power. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL BEULAI-I GOLDSMITI-I Bea Boola Born, April ll, IQO4, Tyler, Texas. Ledge Street School. Beulah is one of those cheerful lassies who enter their study room with an ever-ready smile. She is one of our most popular girls and belonged to the famous Economics Class, where her arguments bewildered even Mr. Rice. I-Ier special pastime is talking, much to Miss Dodge's disgust. But speak, Beulah is de- termined to do, for she intends to enter the Emerson School of Oratory where she will develop her talents in that direction. Although Ben was always ready for a good time, her studies were never neglected. Good luck to you, Beulah. Men may came ana' men may go, but I go on forever WILLIS ERVIN GOMEZ nslrvn Born, january 2, l902, Vvorcester, Mass. Chandler Street School. 'SIrv is that polite young man whose courteous and gentle manners have won for him an everlasting place in the hearts of his classmates. When it comes to of- fering seats to young ladies or otherwise helping dam- sels in distress, Irv is yards ahead of his nearest competitors for first honors. You never hear Irv complaining of anything, for the only time he ever kicks is in football, where, you must admit, he's some kicker. Added to all this, 'ilrvu is a good mixer, for whate.er your oddities may be, you always feel at home when with him. Irv is going to Dartmouth next fall where he undoubtedly will succeed. Courtesy and kindness, the two attributes of a gentleman. ROSE. PEARL GRACE Rose Rose Pearl Born, November 29, l902, Worcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. ' Rose came to us as a shy freshman who always knew her lessons. Soon we discovered that she was a phenom, and if her report had a B on it, everyone was greatly surprised. Rose was a good dancer, and as for music, why Long Live the Cnlee Club, of which she was president in our junior year. She was also an officer of the Pythagorean Club for two- years, and always enjoyed star gazing trips to Newton I-Iill. Rose is going to Barnard College, and our best wishes go with her. Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. THE AFTERMA TH ROSA PAULINE. GREEKO HRosa,' Born, December ll, l902, Vvorcester, Mass. Millbury Street School. Endless chattering, a radiant smile, a pair of black eyes-Rosa. With these qualifications in mind, it is unnecessary to ask whether she is popular. Rosa ad- mits her fondness for athletics fshe herself is a star bowlerl, dancing, and-the boys. She is an accom- plished pianist and a mighty good sport. All in all, Rosa was a ray of sunshine in the class of 1920. She will enter the Conservatory of Music to make a mark for herself in the musical world. A sweet Italian rose. GERTRUDE RITA GRIFFIN Certie Born, July 25, I903, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. Certie is a bit of merry sunshine and girlish sim- plicity to all who know her. Her upright, innocent nature harbors a cheerfulness which is a perpetual song without words. But then Genie is not always smiling. Besides being one of the principal adornments of the brilliant senior basketball quintet, she plays hockey and studies hard, with the result that she is a wonderfully bright girl. Gertie expects to go to Nor- mal which she will undoubtedly brighten with her kindly smile. O spirits gay and kindly heart, Precious the blessing ye impart. SOLOMON BENJAMIN C-URIAN usolvs Born, January l, l902, Russia. Hartford Public High School. Sol has been with us only a year, coming from the Hartford Public High School. But this did not pre- vent his getting the Classical Spirit, liking us and letting us like him. He is a good chemistry student, will probably write a book in History and knows more about Macbeth than Shakespeare does. Next year, Sol is to continue his studies at Tech. As an en- gineer we know he will be the best ever. Variety is the spice of life. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL HELEN ELIZABETH GUTHRO Helen Born, August l, l90l, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School. Helen was undoubtedly one of the prettiest girls in the class. She was not one of those rollicking, corridor- wandering, eternal temptresses. She was satisfied with one-fare we right, Helen?D Never in a hurry, rarely boisterous, she won her way just as quickly into the hearts of one and all. The talents of this dain- ty Miss incline toward the arts of music and design- ing. Consequently, being equally fond of both these branches of art, her destination next fall will be either the Conservatory of Music or some other art school. Whatever institution is fortunate enough to receive Helen, we are certain of her success. E'cn the slight harelvell raised its heart, Elastic from her airy tread. VAN BUREN I-IERRICK, JR. Van Born, July IS, l902, Worcester, Mass. Sever Street School. The historical name of Van Buren Herrick was claimed by an apparently shy young man. I say ap- parently, for outside of school Van's middle name was Speed, His conversation was a continuous round of Overlands, smashed tires, speed records and spark plugs. Although lessons troubled Van:' but slightly, he shone in essay writing. Van spent some time during his senior year in Boston chasing the unruly members of the police force. He returns with the intention of becoming a lawyer via the well-known B. U. route. If he follows his ambition with the same vim which he employed in his motor travels, success is assured. He loved adventurous life's variety. ARTHUR VICTOR I-IOULE Art Born, August 20, 1900, Millbury, Mass. Notre Dame School. Art is another of our able mathematicians who has followed H through its intricate windings of higher Algebra. He has also penetrated the seldom explored regions of Trig. and Solid. Lest we forget, Art is an accomplished Frenchman, and speaks that language as easily as he does English. He has also proved his ability in Physics and Chemistry, is an active member of the Pythagorean Club, and is an artist of no mean ability, having drawn some of the best cartoons for our AFTERMATI-l. Art goes to Tech to develop further his scientific abilities. The wisdom of the prudent is to understand their way. THE AF TERMA TI-I ANNA JAGODNIK ffAnnC,, Born, February 28, 1903, New York City, N. Y. Millbury Street Prep. Anne is one of the quiet members of our Class who does not mingle much with the student body. She has proven herself capable in everything she has undertaken, and her excellency in scholarship has won her a place on the honor roll. Anne is a good pal and always wears an earnest smile. She tells us that after departing from these familiar corridors, she in- tends to follow' a secretarial course at Boston Univer- sity. The best wishes of the class will always abide with you, Anna. Of sludic look she most care and mos! liedef' JOSEPH PATRICK KELLEY ujoeea aspatss Born, March ll, l903, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. 'When it comes to changing dull hours of study into scenes of frolicsome mirth, Joe has no equal. They say that Joe has turned the tragedy of Mac- beth into a roaring farce by his witty squibs. Always gay, merry and playful, Joe has done much to enliven the spirits of his fellow students during the long years of school life. Besides Joe is a hummer in his studies and oh how he can argue, especially when Ireland is the theme. I-le has matched his wits with most members of the faculty to advantage. ,Ioe's destination is Holy Cross and if he continues to argue as vigorously as when among us, we have no doubt but that he will some day become the Presi- dent of the Irish Republic. For, even tho' vanquished, lie could argue still. FRANCIS LEO KERNOSEK ..FmnlE,, HC-yn uconnieu March 25, l900, Worcester, Mass. Millbiiry Street School. Frank is one of the quieter members of the class and usually can be found in the vicinity of 'Room 5, where he resides. Nothing seems to bother Frank to any great extent. Not even studies, with its long list of victims as a warning, seems to ruffle Frank, It is rumored that Frank is somewhat of a pitcher and in due time expects to be the best in his line. As yet Frank has not decided upon his college, but undoubtedly he will be heard from in time to come. Success allends good ambitions. CLASSICAL HIC!-1 SCHOOL LOUIS I-IYMAN KUMIN nL0oss Born, April l2, l903, Worcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. Louis is another source of admiration to the girls. They sure do love a champion, and Louis has de- feated every tic-tac-two player of renown in the Ec- onomics Class. He and another male are the only boys in Mr. Farnsworth's Botany Class, fifth hour. No wonder he knows all about Rosefsj and Vio- letfsl. Louis is a director of the 'iwould be Boys' Glee Club, and his melodious voice has done more to drive Miss Walsh to distraction than anything else in this school. We are expecting to see this young L'e:ntrepreneur making good at B. U. next year. Begone, dull care, 1 prithee hegone from me. JOSEPH FAY LEGASSE. esFay1a Born, November 22, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. Fay is exceptionally well versed in the art of speech and courtship, and is, consequently, a great favorite of the opposite sex. He has great tendencies for the stage, and has more than once demonstrated his dramatic ability in the school room. Tho-ugh Fay lags somewhat in his studies, he maintains that the more haste the less speed, and always man- ages to hit the passing mark, or else, laugh away his troubles. As a comedian he has no equal, and is an extreme believer in the manly art of self defense. Fay goes to Holy Cross to continue his studies, and our best wishes go with him. Without a smile from partial beauty ivan, O, what were man! A zvofld without a sun BENJAMIN LEVENSON Ben Bennie Born, January 9, l903, Russia. Lamartine Street School. Benjamin was one of those students to whom good recitations come without effort, especially in English. He was an exceedingly quiet young man, which made him a great favorite with Miss Dodge. We have al- ways wondered what he used on his hair with such effective results. Still, as he never bragged about it, we will forgive him for not letting us in on the secret. We all liked Bennie and we wish him the best of success at Clark next year. Steady and true as the stars that shine. THE AFTERMA TH PI-IILOMENA ELLEN LOUGI-ILIN Phil Born, August 6, l9U3, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street School. Phil is one of those merry, cheerful girls who always get along with everyone. Phil belonged to the class of '2lA, but she decided to cast her lot among us, and we are glad that she did. Phil is a member of the Aletheia and also of the Senior Basketball and Hockey Teams, to which she does credit. She caused Mr. Abbot many vexatious hours, and fourth hour always found her doing pen- ance? We all like Phil and wish her all possible success at the Normal School. Healthy and happy and good to look upon. WALTER THOMAS MACADAM Waller 6'Mac,' Born, June l5, l903, Worcester, Mass. Sever Street Prep. Waller,' has taken part in practically every line of school activity you could think of, and whether it's playing football or selling beans to the girls at the counter, Mac is eternally busy. Taking service for his motto, Mac has made a record that's hard to beat. He has participated in athletics, debating, public speaking, social activities, bowling, cheer leading, and then, as if this were not enough for a single soul, UlVlac fosters the hope of a Boys' Glee Club. I-le is also a member of the Orchestra, Editor of the After- math and Captain of this yearis brilliant Debating Team. Mads energies, his good nature and always there smile have made him popular among all. Mac goes to Tech from here and we expect the fireworks to start immediately on his arrival at the hill. Hon: lzlest is he who crowns in .shades like these A youth of labor with an age of ease. MARGARET JULIA MAI-IONEY Peg Peggy Born, January ll, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Ascension Grammar School. Peg was one of the nicest girls we have the privilege of counting and a loyal member of '20B. Al- ways faithful in studying, always ready in athletics, an officer of the Glee Club, President of the Aletheia and Pythagorean member, she made us feel that one's duty lies nearby, and that to be loved by all, one must love all. Peg goes to Wellesley next year and we wish her all the good luck that one girl can possibly have. They only are truly great who are truly good. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL RUTH MARY MARTIN Ruth Born, September ll, 1903, Providence, R. I. Girls' High School, Brooklyn, N. Y. Ruth became a member of our class during the Junior year. She knew not one member of the class upon her entrance but when she left us her friends in- cluded the majority of 1920. Her scholarship was a delight to her instructors, particularly in the English Department. Ruth was a prominent member of the Aletheia and a good pal to her fellow members. We sincerely hope that this Brooklynite will not to- tally forget her former school-mates now that she has returned to her home and that we are still plodding along in slow old Worcester. Wondrous is the strength of Chcerfulnessf' FRANCIS JOSEPH IVICGURL Frank Mac Born, April ll, 1902, Worcester, Mass. New Woodland Street School. Frank,' is quite a favorite with the girls, but then you might know,- there's a reason. His jovial, sunny disposition has created for him a charming per- sonality, which finds expression in a winning smile, -a smile that is irresistible. In accordance with his jovial nature, Mac treats books and troubles lightly, - tres trivial -as we might say, and the usual storms which gather around report time, have never been known to dampen his lively spirits, for he always manages to pass the danger mark. Mac will con- tinue his school career at Holy Cross where we wish him all the success in the world. What is trouble? But a bubble, on the sea of Life. HENRY FRANCIS IVICKEON Hennp Mac Born, January 23, I902, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Prep. Henny is one of the most popular boys, not only in the senior class, but in the whole school. jovial, peppy, a student, an athlete, he was a representa- tive American boy. Hen played on last year's base-ball team, and undoubtedly would have played this year, except for an acute appendix. Time, tide, and appendixes await no man. However, as long as he is well and able to graduate, we will not grumble. Mac goes to Holy Cross next year and Linden Lane will receive a very valuable man in him. A happy disposition is a gift of the gods. THE AFTERMA TH WESLEY EDWARD MELLQUIST Wes Born, December 26, I902, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street School. Wes is a fellow whose winning personality and magnetic smile have earned for him countless numbers of friends, who, by all kinds of honors, have shown their liking for him. He was chosen class president of our junior year, and has played a prominent part in school activities. He revealed his dramatic talent in the role of the negro in last year's play, and he cer- tainly was good. Wes did not confine himself to school activities alone, for he often helped us to find our way in the dark on gloomy afternoons. In rec- ognition of this the class elected him as its Orator. Wes knows the power of politeness and has used this knowledge to good advantage. We prophesy a successful career for him in the business world. A good seaman is lgnown in bad weather. WILLIAM THOMAS MORAN Bill Born, December 3l, l90l. Vvorcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. Bill's presence was notable every morning as he strode in several minutes late after a leisurely walk from Vernon Hill. King Jazz, that modern Bac- chus, claimed William as one of his most skilled ex- ponents. Bill's sinuous fox-trots attracted many damsels, some of whom succumbed to his fatal charms, He patronizes movies, swimming, and other sports. Although his hobbies were enough to turn the head of the average young man from his studies, he did enjoy chemistry. Bill intends to enter the Mas- sachusetts Pharmaceutical School and he carries our best wishes with him. For he was a folly good fellow. ELIZABETH HELEN MULLIN S Helen Red Born, October 22, l90l, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School. Helen is another one of the girls of our class who has that beautiful red hair. During Helen's freshman year she played on the Freshman basket-ball team. She is a prominent member of the Aletheia Society and has served as its president. Helen is a great lover of fun and whatever is going on she is right there to take part in it. She also likes dancing very well. She expects to go to the Conservatory of Music next year and all wishes for success from the class are hers. She had a may lhal pleased iliem all. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL IIS EDWARD FRANCIS MURPHY Murph Eddie Born, January I4, l902, Worcester, Mass. Cambridge Street Prep. Murph was one of the quiet boyscyvho did Mr. Post the great honor of sitting in his room. That, alone, would insure his entry into our Hall of Fame. Besides, he was an athlete of note, and studied when he had time to, which is saying a good deal. Murph lived in Auburn last year and so gave that town re- nown, but did still more for us, by being a member of the illustrious '20B. Ed goes to Lowell Textile next year, and we wish him luck. A buoyant soul overrides all obstacles. ' ELIZABETH NANIGIAN Lizzie Born, june 25, 1903, Paxton, Mass. Paxton Grammar School. Elizabeth came to us from Paxton, a very quiet girl, although her smiling way has made many friends for her. She is a girl who does not mix much with others and spends her spare time studying, unless someone disturbs her. She is a girl that loves to hear jokes and is ready at any moment to laugh when a good jest is spoken. Elizabeth intends to become a physician and will join her sister at Tufts, next year. ln works of labor or of slfill, She would be busy, loo. GEORGE SIMPSON NAPHEN George Born, june 27, I903, Leicester, Mass. Sever Street School. George is very Well liked by all of us, although he does not make as much noise as some of our other class-mates. However, his friends, who include the whole class, all agree that he is a good fellow, and is one who can always be relied on when called upon to do his share in class activities. George's favorite study is Greek, his teacher in this subject giving words to the effect that even Homer, in all his glory, could not speak Greek in the manner in which George does, Cnor could anyone elsel. George intends to tackle business after a course at Boston University, and the best wishes of the class for success will accompany him throughout his career. 1'm 11 quicl boy: but mail, just mail and see. , i THE AF TERMA TH EDDY ROYAL NELSON Ed Eddie Born, October l8, I902, Worcester, Mass. Upsala Street School. Herein lies the tale of a marvelous man. Eddie', is able to do two things at once, for according to Mr. Dowd, he can play football and think, at the same time. Although he was a good tackle on our team, you never hear him crowing about it. Eddie is quiet and unassuming, well-built and always neat, in other words nearly perfection. We all expect to hear from Ed as the star player on B. U. football team during the next four years. True courage scorns To venl her prowees in a storm of words, Ami to lhe valiant aclion speak-s alone. AINA TI-IERESA OBERG uflinai' Usnoolgien Born, May I9, I903, Worcester, Mass. Upsala Street School Aina was a lady in every sense of the word. Though the endearing name of uSnookie suggests that she was a jolly, happy-go-lucky girl, her tactfulness always told her when this was not in proper decorum. These qual- ities, together with the fact that Aina was charming in appearance and bright in her studies leave no ques- tion as to why she was so popular and had so many friends. During her senior year she was president of the Girls' Glee Club and vice-president of the Aletheia. Aina will enter some business school next year where success will surely be her constant companion. For she was of a free and pleasant mind And unlo mirth and friendliness inclined. GRACE KATHERINE ODLUM Grace Born, August l9, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School Shades of Broadway and Paris! Such were the visions that broke the gloom when piquant Grace was around. Grace possessed all the requisites of her type -radiant Ugoldilocksf' notable dancing ability,- and an enviable wardrobe. How was she in her studies? Oh, those things did not bother Grace in the least! Her hobbies of which there are too many to en- umerate, all culminate in having one endless good time. Grace's aspirations, though indefinite, tend toward the nursing profession. But with so many ad- mirers-who can tell? And ne'er did Grecian chisel trace A Nymph, a Naiad, or a Crace Of finer form or lovelier face. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL SAMUEL PERMAN ccsarnn Born, October 28, l902, Springfield, Mass. Sever Street School. Sam', is a fellow who evidently doesn't believe in advertising himself. Whenever seen, he is usually at- tending to his own business, and never disturbs others when attending to theirs. However, when his reserve is once broken into, you lind a Hrst-rate friend who is always ready to lend a helping hand. Sam intends to enter Harvard College next fall, and after com- pleting his course there, will attend the Harvard School of Business Administration. We are all certain that Sam, by minding his own business as he has al- ways done, will soon have a large business of his own to mind. Give every man thy ear, but few lhy voice ERIC ALBERT PETERSON ssHuSlCyn uljeten Born, May 20, l902, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School We often wonder how a football and basketball player can be so gentle and refined when dancing, for Husky seems to enjoy all branches of athletics and as to dancing,-well! Pete wears the smile that will not come off and seldom can he be seen walking through the corridors without the sound of his tenor voice rendering his own idea of the latest jazz melody. Pete intends to enter Tech in the near future, where we expect him to live up to his good record. Wilh mirlh and laughter let old wrinkles come. HAZEL HELENA ,IOHANNA PETERSON Blondy Born, June 2, l902, Maynard, Mass. Maynard High School Hazel came to us two years ago and lost no time in getting in with the crowd. All the fellows are glad she did for she is as nice a dancing partner as can be found. Hazel has a weak voice fbut a strong heartj and requests of loud-er can be heard when she re- cites in Economics. Nevertheless she is always right. Hazel spends her spare time in studying stars for the Pythagorean Society. Football, baseball and basket- ball stars are her specialty. We all expect to see her shine at Normal School next year. A Fairy Sprite in Human Carb. THE AFTERMA TH ELINOR RUTH PHILLIPS Ella Born, November I7, l900, Worcester, Mass. Chandler Street School The Chandler Street School contributed this fair member of the class. Quiet, unassuming, and even timid, Elinor has avoided whenever possible, any of the more boisterous of her school-mates. Elinor is an active member of the Aletheia, and also belongs to the Girls' C-lee Club. Her faithfulness to her work, to- gether with her cheerfulness, will gain a great deal for her in this world. Wisrlom's self oft seeks lo sweet retired solitude. ANNA VIRGINIA POWER Anna Born, July 3l, l903, Worcester, Mass. Sever Street School Anna Power-how much those two words mean to every member of '20B. Always faithful to her friends, land every one was her frienclj, a good student, an athletic star, a good and earnest worker for C. I-l. S., Anna is our ideal girl. Together with Alice Barrett, Anna might be seen at all the school affairs, and wherever she was, joy was, so Anna was welcomed everywhere. She intends to come back next year as a P. C-. and then go to college. Best wishes! Never in a hurry, never has a care, Never known to marry, belavefl everywhere. SAMUEL FRANK PRICE .rpain Born, September 29, l903, Worcester, Mass. Ledge Street School. Whenever you hear a melodious strain issuing from Room l l at recess or between bells, you may be sure that Pat is around and leading the amateur Boys Ctlee Club on to destruction. Pat is one of the live wires of the class: a wonder in the Terpsichorean art, a high-scorer on the Classical Bowling Team, and the best High School drummer-boy in existence. I-le intends to enter B. U. next year and become a first- class salesman. We have no doubt that with his pleasing personality and ambition, he will surely make a success. joys shared with others are more enjoyed. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL JAMES QUINN jimmy Quinny Born, August lo, l903, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School Jimmy is a startling blonde, which is a rare find among the boys of our class. He is one of the ap- parently quiet sort, but those who know him better, say different. He helped pass the third hour more than once by giving bewildering arguments on Burke's Conciliation, much to the gratitude of the class, and his incidental remarks show a humorous personality. Jimmy will certainly shine at Tuft's Dental School next fall and will relieve many a class-mate in the fu- ture, we hope. Good luck and best wishes. Quiet he mas, forsooth not vain, If friends be credit, he has much gain. ANNA RUTH REED Anne Born, June 6, l903, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street School. Anne is one of those quiet, demure and studious lassies who help to make the class of 'ZOB a success. She is a favorite among the teachers and especially is loved by her fellow-classmates for Anne,' is right there for a good time and a good cheer. She is a brilliant student and always looks cheerful on the day that reports come out. She is fond of sports and socials and is an excellent pal. Her favorite pastime is read- ing and Anne intends to study to become a libra- rian, at Smith next fall. We all wish you success, Anne, ' There is a certain dignity to be kept in place. AGNES RILEY l6Ag!, Born, July IS, l90l, Hopkinton, Mass. Grafton Street School Ag certainly has proved to be a popular girl. She hasn't neglected a soul, even the boys. She somef times confuses school with a sewing circle but, all in all, she's a good comrade. She has served us faith- fully in the office of vice-president of the class, and many undertakings proved successful through her ef- forts, Her favorite hobby is dancing, which is ap- parent by her patronage of social affairs. She is un- decided with her future vocation, which will either be in the business world or in musical circles, for she is talented at the piano. Ag carries the wishes of the class for success. She has the sunshine in her laughter. THE AFTERMA TH NATHAN AALBERT ROSENBERG 'iNaia11 Born, October 28, l900, Russia. Ledge Street School. Nathan is a quiet, modest, and retiring youth who says little but thinks much. In fact, he is so quiet that most of us are inclined to think he is too serious, but his friends know he is just as ready to appreciate the humorous side of life as anyone is. Nathan has de- cided to pursue a course at the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy. We all expect to hear of his chosen profession, and the best wishes of the class are with him. Admired by lhe many, though known by lhe few. LOUIS ROSENTHAL Louie Rosie Born, October 20, l903, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street School When it comes to mathematics, Let Louis do it. The fact is that Louis can do 'most anything, but as for math he's par excellence. Louie has excelled in all branches of study, and after solving the mys- teries of advanced Algebra, Louie has gone on to conquer Trig. and Solid. But all this success has not spoiled Louie, He is still one of our shy but cheer- ful boys. Louie is preparing for Tech, where he is sure of securing his share of success. Wisclom is more lo be envied than riches. DAVID JEROME SEDER Pooh Dave Born, March 4, l903, Manchaug, Mass. Ledge Street School. Pooh is a popular member of the class who has left nothing undone. He is a brilliant scholar, an ex- cellent clebater, an efficient class president and a loyal member of the class of l920. He first shone as class president in our sophomore year and thus in the senior year we elected him again. His untiring efforts and devotion to the class are well-known to us all. He was a member of the debating team during his whole high school career and was a prominent member of the C. H. S. debating society. He is popular with the faculty and we expect him to excel in his studies at Dartmouth next year. The best wishes of the class are with him. ulnduslry is lhe lgeynole to success. I CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOI GEORGE ARTHUR SELZO George Born, February 22, 1903, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School Though George may not be said to have anythingn on the Titans for size, he nevertheless has the manly qualities which make a good scholar. George is a pleasant companion for comparisonl to the larger boys of our class, and his honesty and straightforwardness have made him very popular with all. George has suc- ceeded well in his studies, nor did the task of mas- tering advanced Greek and Latin daunt his plucky spirit. In spite of his size and stature, George wears the dignity of manner and gravity of mind of a person much older. Tall oalgs from lillle acorns grow. PAUL CAMPBELL SI-IEDD Paul Born, September IZ, l90l, Dover, N. H. Sever Street School. Hail to the genius of our class! That ML Sheddn held an undisputed claim to this title, no member of the illustrious class of 1920 will deny. Though he was not jovial, in the usual sense,-he spent his re- cesses in deep study-his friends understood his odd sociability. Paul excelled in every branch of study. He specialized in math and starred in astrono- my. As president of the Pythagorean Club he showed admirable ability. He was also vice-president of the Debating Assembly and made an enviable extempora- neous address. Some day we expect to hear of the first communication with Jupiter for something like thatl by P. C. Shedd, graduate of Classical High School and Worcester Tech. Hitch your wagon lo a .slar. HAROLD SIEGEL Hal Born, Septembzr l2, 1903, Lawrence, Mass. Sever Street School Hal is one of the foremost debaters and speakers of our class, having represented us in debating for three years and being on a championship team twice. The members of the Debating Club will tell you what a fine president he was. But Hal believes in giving his muscles a chance, too, so we find him shooting bas- kets for Classical against the most formidable oppo- nents. Perhaps this explains why he is so popular with the girls. Hal intends to study Business Adminis- tration at Harvard next year. We all wish him the best of progress. A scholar, an allilele, anal a gentleman. if su' THE AFTERMA TH MATTHEW LOUIS SLOBIN Many A Born, February 4, l903, Xvorcester, Mass. Millbury Street School. What Matty lacks in size he makes up in cheer- fulness, for he wears the smile that w'on't come off,- in spite of bad weather and 'Ltough luck. 'LMatty's smile was greatly missed when he visited New York recently, but he quickly returned, proving there's no school like Classical and no friends like Classical friends, not to mention the Classical spirit. Although Matty is not inclined towards dizzy heights, in his studies he ranks as high as many more longitudinally disposed. Matty intends to go to Columbia next fall. Best luck to you, Matty. Though not so large as some in size, He could argue like Solomon Wise. IRENEL SMOELNSKY f51,, Born, May I, l903, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School I is a cheerful member whose ready smile has won her a place in the hearts of her classmates. She has a winning manner, is a diligent student and a good comrade. She appears shy and serious, but alas! the class is wrong, for oft do we hear lrene's laugh break the silence of the class during a perusal of Burke. She belongs to that group of merry-makers who reside in Room 5, but who never let a good time interfere with their studies. Irene intends to enter Boston University next fall and take a course in secretarial science and the best wishes of the class will abide with her. An eye of mosl transparent light, 'Tnmuld almost make a dungeon bright. THOMAS EDWARD STANTON if ' Tl Tossze Born, September ll, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School Tossie is the admiration of everyone who knows him. He could study all morning, play football, bas- ketball or baseball all afternoon and dance all night. He was a basketball star, and a jolly good fellow. Tossie impresses you as being one of those fellows who aren't so good in a crowd, but you'd be surprised. He loves Stones of all descriptions, as anyone who happened to go to the Commerce game knows. We wish him all kinds of good things next year in the Tufts School of Business Administration. Silent by nature, but active of mind. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL MABLE HANNAH STEAD ulwablen Born, July 8, l90l, Providence, R. l. Meade Street School. May be Mable doesn't shine as the plucky captain of our Girls' Basketball and Hockey teams. When Mable gets into the fray, it is far from being a pink tea affair. In fact, lVlable's gameness and strenuous exploits have made many of our boys swell with envy. Added to this, she makes a pleasant companion, has a quick wit and cheerful disposition, and is a great favorite among her class-mates. Mable has made up her mind to take a course at the Boston Physical Cul- ture School and our advice to her adversaries is to beware of the reckless center. Yea, Mable! Yea, Slcad! Yea, Yea, Mable Shaud! GEORGE ROMUALE. TASSE George Born, November 28, l90l, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street School. George is one of the quietest boys in school until you know him, and then his character changes rapidly. Quiet, studious, and yet with a sense of humor we find in him a true friend, and chummy companion. George took Economics and, every now and then, he would burst out with some jewel of wisdom, which made one feel insignificant. He was a loyal rooter for all our teams, and we feel sure that in the game of Life, George will always be on the winning side. Best wishes! Silenl by nalure, but active of mind. PUZANT KEVORK THOMAJAN Hpeelfayn Born, July 29, l902, Worcester, Mass. Sever Street School. Peekay is one of our most ambitious class-mates. Vvhen the call came for ads for the Aftermath. the manner in which he extracted them from reluctant lsusiness men was indeed a revelation to us. As busi- ness manager of the Aftermath, he broke all previous records for the amount of ads brought in. The financial success of the Aftermath was due largely to his work as all of us will agree. However, Peekay has another hobby, being a fierce stamp collector, and his pursuit of foreign stamps is second only to his pursuit of Mads. Peekay intends to shine in the foreign import market, and is planning to polish up at Clark before entering the business world, where we cannot help predicting a bright future for him. Cel oul and gel that ad. THE AFTERMA TH MARY MARGARET TRABULSI frMaryy, Born, December 5, l903, Syria. ' Millbury Street School. Mary did not join us until February of our fresh- man year. She is a very quiet girl and very clever in her lessons. Mary always had a smile and a kind' word for both teachers and class-mates. She plays basket-ball, but because of her not coming in with our class she had to play on the l92.0 Junior Team. She has had the honor of having a design, which she made in drawing, chosen for the Teachers' Annual Report book cover. Mary intends to go to the West Indies after graduating from Classical and the best wishes of the class attend her. Always noble, lfind and true. WILLIAM OWEN TRAVERS Bill Born, December Zl, 1902, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street School. Bill was one of the quietest boys in school, and also one of the best known. A good student, and faithful friend, he was well liked by girls as well as boys. Bill attended all the school parties, and no affair was quite complete without his genial presence. l-lis large brown eyes were his best-known possession, and many a girl envied him his orbs. His smile bright- ened many a dark corner, and we will miss it next year, but l-loly Cross will be lucky, for Bill intends to enter next September. Noi Travers, the soldier, but brother to him, May his wide brown eyes never grow dim. EDWIN EARLE TUCKER Earle Tuck Born, February 24, t90I, Worcester, Mass. Abbott Street School. Earle is not an especially talkative fellow, but he is a good friend, as his acquaintances in our class will maintain. We have never seen or heard Earle paying much attention to the girls, so it seems rather strange that one of his hobbies is dancing, but nevertheless, it is. Earle is a wireless bug and ready to make friends quickly with anyone who can talk intelligently on this subject. Tuck tells us he dreads mathema- tics at Tech, but it is hard to believe, for he has taken the worst offered in l-ligh School. The daily marlyrzlom of patience shall nal be wanling of reward. CLASSICAL HICH SCHOOL MARGARET ANNA XVEHINGER Mpeg, Born, March 2, l90l, Worcester, Mass. North Adams High Peg came to us from North Adams, and we are decidedly glad she did. Peg was the sweetest tem- pered girl in our class. She was also one of those se- lect few who received A in chemistry. She played a star game of basket-ball, to say nothing of hockey and tennis. When the spring comes, however, Peg has another interest-baseball. Peg intends to go to Boston Physical Culture School, where we wish her every possible success. Sport that wrinlgleal care derialesf' RICHARD FISHER WHITCOMB Dick Born, May I9, l903, Worcester, Mass. Sever Street School. Dick certainly could dance: but that wasnit the only thing he could do. Having combined his Terpsi- chorean talent with a jovial disposition and amarkecl efiiciency in his studies, he well deserved being a fav- orite with both students and faculty. His tall, debonair figure, topped by that sunny smile which followed his effervescent jokes, brightened many a- blue clay for his class-mates. He was a brilliant orator, treasurer of the class, vice-president of the Debating Society, member of the declamation team, member of the bowling team, manager of the basket-ball team, and one of the main- stays of the Pythagorean Club, fbeing especially fond of the outdoor star-gazing meetingsj. Dick', will matriculate at Worcester Tech, where his personality plus his talents will attain inevitable success. A ready smile, a cheery word, a :unbeam in this world of strife. FRANCIS JOSEPH ZIELINSKI Silas!! Born, October l, 1901, Chicago, Ill. Millbury Street School. Francis has been a hard worker, ever since he en- tered the Classical High School, and has been right up to the standard in his studies. I-I is a quiet chap but he has demonstrated that he took interest in and backed up different school activities. He is particu- larly talented in English and the part he took in Macbeth brought out his splendid dramatic traits. He is going to Worcester Tech where he will follow' a scientific course. His talent and great perseverance will surely bring him success. perseverance conquers all olnsiaclesf' JUKESMUAKE VN ,V Q H .lv O 4 S I , 5' O Eg Y If 2 Ai. M225 . If Of I 0 ,j ! , ' f 'Q .qs Y Q?
