Abbot passed beyond, after forty-one years of faithful service to the Classical High School. Born on April 27, 1853, he graduated from the Cambridge Latin School in 1870, and received his degree from Harvard in 1874. After teaching two years in Boston and three years in Indianapolis, he came to Classical in 1880, and up to the very day of his death was an inspiring spirit in our school. Mr. Abbot was an efficient, just, and lovable teacher, devoted to high principles and to the conscientious accomplishment of his work. None who knew him can ever forget his genial smile, and his un- ceasing devotion to his pupils and the school he loved so well. His heart was wholly in his work, his interest in his pupils profound. Not only was his purpose to instruct them in their school work, but to teach them the true American spirit of unselfish, self-sacrificing service. He was thorough and exacting in his teaching, for he stood for high scholarship, yet he never failed to win the deepest devotion and respect of his pupils with his ever cheerful disposition. He was a teacher of teachers, a man of men, and the gap he has left in the Classical High School can never be filled. Therefore, to Mr. Williani F. Abbot, affectionately known as uBilly7', this volume is dedicated, as a heartfelt tribute to his many years of service to the school, years marked hy devotion to teaching, loyalty to friendship, and fidelity to the highest ideals,-a man who loved his friends, his country, and his God. tw,-.,-, BOARDS L l+IDl'l'0RlA AND SINICSS l I3 'l'll A l 'l'l'l li M A jfuremurh The primary purpose of this Aftermath is to unite foreverlthe members of the class of 1922. Never again will our class reassemble in its entirety, but through the medium of this book, we shall be united in spirit. Lack of space prevents this volume from containing a full account of the last four years, but in so far as is possible, it is a resume of the accomplishments and activities of the class, and of its individual pupils. We have earnestly endeavored to make this work worthy of our class and our school, and we hope that our efforts have not been wholly in vain. For our classmates this book should be a souvenir to treasure, so that for each and every member of the class it may furnish pleasant and happy memories in the years to come. Qppreniatiun The members of the Aftermath Board wish to gratefully ac- knowledge the assistance of everyone who has in any manner con- tributed to this volume, and to thank all who have made possible this publication by their advertising. We extend special appreciation to Miss Helen D. Marshall, whose assistance in the work of the Art Department was invaluable, to Miss Florence M., Powers, for eflicient supervision of the Editorial Department, and to her assistants, Miss Elizabeth E. Peirce, Miss Eleanor Cosgrove, and Miss Mary A. Waite, who lent willing aid in the corrective work and compilation of our Aftermath, to Mr. George D. Hearn, who successfully managed the Photographic De- partment, and to Mr. George B. 0'Flynn, who with the assistance of Mr. George W. Howland, supervised the Business Board with his usual competence. 5 Y v '- 1 v - Q 'f-,235 lx , A .,.. fk 1- KX 'V+' 'ig Tw fi -1 fi 535' s gm T VA -M e Y E i , , . . . ,sk A , , Q ' 9 , I ' 1 Z 1 i ! 4 Q. , fl .. , 5 4 4 1 I x X w y 1 I i .

Ledge Street Grammar School Al is one of the most cheerful little persons in our class. Can anyone remember a time when Al was not ready to smile and speak a cheery word? She can make one forget trouble and decide the world is not so bad after all. Her friends have found out that she is also sympathetic and under- standing. She is greatly interested in athletics and has spent much of her time in the gym , Al is going to Sargent School next year, and we all wish we might be with her.

VVitty, clever, fun-loving, he is responsible for a great deal of the merriment and mischief in class. Bert is without a peer as an artist, singer, and dramatist, while as a student and athlete, he has made a record to be proud of, receiving a VV in the pole-vault. The financial success of The Jrgus is for the most part due to the unfailing energy of the senor. NVQ? wish him all success at Columbia, where he goes to study music.

St. laufs School The quiet, unassuming character of this gentle- manly student is well-known to both his classmates and teachers. His work as a member of the After- math board, and his contributions to The Argus have stamped him as a writer of excellent calibre. As chairman of the picture committee, Frank was responsible for the efficient handling of all in- dividual appointments. Heeding Horace Greeleyls words, Go West, young man, go West! he will carry the name of Classical across the continent to the University of Southern'California.

WILFRED ARTHUR BEAUDETTE Beaua'ie ' lVillyU Born, August 5, 1904, Worc:stTr, Mass. Grafton Street School Beaudie', is one of the most energetic members of the class, and always seems to be developing some scheme to better the school as he is a good worker. Mu.ch credit is due him for having helped in the formation of the Athletic Council, as he was greatly interested in this organization. VVil1y Was one of the best football players in the school, and played on both the 1920 and 1921 teams. He was also a member of the Debating Assembly, and took part in the inter-class debates. ln a few years we may see him on the Dartmouth College football team. .f1thletie soundness afzd 'vigor of ronstitution.

She never talks much in class, but her semester pay envelope in- dicates that quality rather than quantity has counted. Qutside of class one hears more of her soft melo- dious voice. Rachie is looking forward to re- lieving the sufferings of mankind after completing her course at Tufts Medical School. We should not be surprised to hear that she had specialized in heart trouble.

' Quinsigamond School Here is a man who devotes himself whole-heart- edly to everything which he undertakes. Billl' is intensely interested in chemistry, and his fellow- students claim his voracity for problems is simply astounding. He is a member of the Pythagorean and Science Clubs, in which organizations he is a main-stay. Bill pays little attention to the mod- ern dances or to the ladies. Yet he possesses a social nature, and counts many friends among the members of our class. 'KBill plans to go to Tech where he will take a course in chemical engineering.

Grafton Street School Tom is one of the old standbys of the class, and we hope he will have as many friends wher- ever he goes as he has at Classical. Tom be- came interested in athletics during his last year, and won his school letter in basketball. He has a cheerful disposition, and always has la smile and an abundance of good humor. He'll need his optimism, for he intends some day to be a stern and sedate teachelr.

CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL HYMAN BURWICK ffHyl! Born, January 9, 1905, Russia Millbury Street Preparatory We all know Hy as the fellow who is brim- ming over with enthusiasm for his school. He is always the first to start the H-S , H-S for Classical at any activity. An enviable scholastic standing, a gentlemanly demeanor, and a deep sin- cerity, all these and more, Hy can claim. Small wonder that the Debating Society recognized his virtues and elected him its president. ln addition, Hy is an editor of The drgus and a member of the Aftermath editorial board. Hy plans to transport his pep to Harvard, and we expect to hear of him as its debating team captain and cheer leader.

Abbott Street Grammar School A very quiet and reserved little girl is Dot . So quiet, that we donlt know much about her, but what we do know is more than pleasing. She is ever a most diligent student. The result is that 'cDot never enters a class without a per- fectly prepared lesson. She has not mingled widely with her fellow students, but seemed to prefer a small coterie of friends. lt is rumored that she has many male admirers in her outside world. Dot hasn't made up her mind yet, what she will do after graduating, but whatever it is, we all expect the best.

Abbott Street School Irene is a quiet and innocent-looking young lady, but looks are deceptive, so they tell us. Despite the fact that she takes little part in school activities, her friends find her an agreeable and loyal com- panion. Her favorite pastimes are conversing with a male admirer and dancing in the gymnasium at recess. lrene is a perfect adept at writing notes, as the occupants of Room 5 will testify. Irene intends to enter Normal School in the fall, and the class of '22 wishes her the best of success. Still fwater runs deep. THE AFTERJVIA TH MIRIAM CHASE rrMi7l1i6J, Born, April 7, 1905, Boston, Mass. Abbott Street School Mimie is one of those dainty young ladies who have many male admirers. She shyly glances at an unsuspecting youth and away flies his heart to her feet. She has distinguished herself playing tennis, and is very fond of dancing. Her extensive ward- robe and dainty variety of chapeaux have caused many envious glances among the fair sex. Mimie is on the business board of the Aftermath, and has proved herself worthy of the honor. She intends to go to Lesley Normal School, where the best wishes of the class attend her. I Handsome is, as handsome does. EDWARD CQHEN ffRedJ! Born, July 2, 1904, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Preparatory Red is a very modest member of the class, but he has a large number of friends. He is al- ways looking on the bright side of life, a fact which may be partly accounted for by his red hair, which gives him a very sunny appearance. Red is a great supporter of all secret organizations, and was a prominent member of the Shifters' Club Cwhile it lastedj. Red can be depended upon to win many friends wherever he goes. He will take up a business career on leaving Classical.

He is a great favorite with the faculty, especially with Mr. Rice. always being ready to help his teachers out by supplying the wrong answer. lXfIanny takes life in the happy-go-lucky style until D warnings and reports come around.

CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL EVERETT JOSEPH CONDON ff-Ei!!! Born, February 8, 1904, Shrewsbury, -Mass. Shrewsbury High School Une short year has been enough to make Ev a real dyed-in-the-wool Classicalite. After wasting his talents at Shrewsbury High for three years, he realized the folly of his ways and did us the honor of joining our class. As captain of the Room 5 Debating Team, he bravely held the fort against Miss Dodge on all occasions. His efficient work as business manager of the Aftermath shows his great interest in the class. He has also been a successful member of the C. H. S. Debating As- sembly, and won distinction as a debater on the senior team. Ev intends to carry our standards to Dartmouth.

Upsala Street School Four years ago we greeted Peg , whom we then thought a very happy and Witty little girl, we think so still. Margaret was a valuable member of our hockey team in her sophomore year, and also came into prominence by taking part in Aletheia debates. Friendly, persevering, and jolly, she won her way into the hearts of all. With these qualities she is sure to become an excellent physical instructor, after her career at Posse Gymnasium School. . A maiden modest, and yet self-possessed, Youthful, athletic and trimly dressed. REBECCA PEARL COQNEN ffgeckyll Born, August 30, 1904, Worcester, Mass. Chandler Street School Rebecca, a quiet girl with a happy smile, believes that a little work and a little play makes us happy every day . Her pursuit of the elusive A has been unceasing and not unsuccessful, for her name has appeared on the honor list many times. She has proven a friend indeed to many classmates, helping them over the tight places in their lessons. We are sure of her success at Smith, as she is both persevering and ambitious. To those -who lenofw thee not, no fwords fan paint, And those fwho lznofw thee, lenofw all swords are faint. THE AFTERIILAI TH ROBERT LOUIS COTTON Bob Bobbie Born, February 19, 1905, Worcester, Mass.

Bob is head of the Knights of the Whispering Tongue, with headquarters in Mr. Rice's room. Like all good seniors, he has never been accused of Working too hard.

Rudie', has served as an oHicer of the Pythagorean Club, the Science Club, as assistant-editor of The Argus, and as a member of the editorial board of the Aftermath, and, to crown all, is a first honor pupil, which is no mean achievement in this age of jazz and frivolity. Rudie has shown such a remark- able genius in all things mechanical that we can prophesy a successful future for him. Worcester Tech will indeed receive a budding genius in the person of Rudie . A superman in mortal role. GEORGE ALEXANDER DAWSGN Georgie ' Born, November 4, 1904, Montreal, Quebec Millbury' Street School WVere problems in chemistry, food, Georgie would die from over-eating.

Ledge Street Grammar School lt's really too bad that Ralph has no nickname to offer among his worldly possessions. But Deputy Sheriff suggests itself since Ralph assists his father in this profession. Because of his good sports- manship, Ralph has won for himself a host of loyal companions. Although Ralph has not been one of the celebrities of the class, he has been a very valuable member. He intends to enter Tech, where he will tackle his mathematics with the same in- tensity as was characteristic of him at Classical. Success Ralph! A sportsman and a friend is Ile.

Little did we dream what that tall youngster with short trousers would accomplish when he first occupied a seat, which was soon out of its moorings in Room 6. Dobbie has become a 'ffoundern at Classical. He founded the Stamp Club and also the Sons of Caledonia . But despite this Van is quite afraid of the office, and always tries to avoid it. YVhen he must enter the torture chamber, he assumes an extremely innocent expression that altogether belies his pranks. He expects to spread his conquests westward at the University of Washington.

Chandler Street School No, it's not Fritz Kreisler that is playing Beeth- oven, it's merely George, who in time will make Fritz look for a new profession. There is no doubt of George's success musically. The fiddler fiddled, and men listened and could not believe that a genius new had arisen. His little hddle danced, and then it laughed, now it was in fairyland, now in heaven. Few indeed can handle the violin as can George. But George is also going to be an M.

SGPHIE EPHRAIM Sophie Born, August 21, 1906, Detroit, Michigan Sterling Junior High School Although Sophie did not become a member of our class until the junior year, her vivacious manner has gained for her a host of friends. Her best talent lies in making clever cartoons and drawings, which have been a source of happiness to us all. Sophie has re- ceived uniformly good marks in her studies, and has been an editor of the Aftermath. A girl with her ability has good prospects, and the class of '22 wishes Sophie a happy and brilliant future at Pratt Institute. The golden sun of youth lights learning's path. GEGRGE EPSTEIN Georgie Born, February 19, 1905, VVorcester, Mass. Millbury Street Preparatory If there is anyone who has contributed life to our class, it is indeed Georgie , ever ready to take and give a bit of humor. To accompany this, Georgie has great musical talent. The piano jumps into action the minute George's fingers touch its keys. But George has been rather shy about displaying this talent to our class. He is also a prominent member of the C. H. S. Debating Assembly. Georgie's ambitions lead him to Clark and Harvard School of Business Administration, after which he will assist his father in making their automobile business the leader in the field. Surcess attends ambition. THE AFTERILL4 TH ELIZABETH CLAIRE FALLON ffgettyll Born, September 25, 1904, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Grammar School Betty is a fair maiden who has many friends.

She is a lover of good times and has helped to make all our school socials gayer with her presence. 'cBetty never lost any sleep over her lessons, but she always had a ready answer.

SARAH ELIZABETH FERGUSGN Sadie Born, November 28, 1904, Worcester, Mass. Millbury Street Grammar School The winning gracious charm of our first lady has endeared her to everyone at Classical, while her list of accomplishments is bewildering. Suffice it to say that, as vice-president and historian of the class, president of the Aletheia, and member of the C. H. S. Girls' Debating Team, and the C. H. S. Declaiming Team, she has brought more glory to an already glorious school. Gay and viv- acious at all times, she likes to trip the light fan- tastic over some polished floor. We envy the young hopefuls who may be so fortunate as to have Sadie as teacher after she graduates from Normal School. Size is gone like Allexander, To spread lzer eonquests farther.

She is an excellent piano player and can charm any audience by the enchanting strains of her ukelele.

Tom was a substitute on the 1920 basketball team, and was a regular player on the football team last year. We know that Tom can do good Work, and we hope he will exhibit some of his hidden talent at Holy Cross. Solemn, fwise, fwitlz lzumor too, No heart more generous or more true.

Although she has been a valuable member of both hockey and tennis teams, she has received excellent marks in her studies. However, her talents are not limited to school Work, for she is well-known as an ac- complished pianist. Her loyalty to her classmates and unfailing good nature make her an ever wel- come companion. Madeleine plans to further her study of music, and the class of '22 expects to hear great things of her in the musical world. Thy genius is unbounded.

We always held our breath in expectancy when Jeanette took her violin and tucked it under her chin. She confesses she loves theatres and we know that she is an expert dancer and swim- mer. She is going to study either music or domestic science. From her host of admirers, you can judge for yourself which would be more useful to her. With eyes so hlue and eheeks so red.

To turn from general school- life to Al is like turning from a noisy bustling metropolis to a calm country-town. Best luck to you at Holy Cross.

Grafton Street School Trixie is comely, sprightly, and jovial-qual- ities worth a great deal to any class. She enjoys a laugh or a joke, but still she is serious and thoughtful. Her happy smile and pleasing manner have won her many friends, and incidentally have shown us her bewitching dimple. Trixie graces many social events, where her society is eagerly sought. Her sparkling blue eyes, and luxuriant golden hair have made many less fortunate girls envious of Theresa's charms. Normal School is the choice she has made.

Grafton Street Grammar School Kathryn appears very quiet to those who have not been fortunate enough to know her well. Her smile tells you at once, however, of the kindly feeling she has for us all. Her patience and per- severance have won her unusual success in her literary, dramatic, and musical undertakings. Many times we have been entertained by her delightful stories in The Argus. Kathryn is also on the edi- torial board of the Aftermath, lending her swift pen to make it a success. The best wishes of the class of 1922 follow her to Boston University, where she will take up her work in September. Tho' lost to sight, to memory dear. CHARLES JAMES G'HARA nCharlie Born, August 10, 1904, Worcester, Mass. Grafton Street Grammar School Charlie is as cheerful as a sunny day in spring, and yet not too mirthful to cause trouble. Charlie never looks downcast. He is always on the best of terms with the world, and his sincere laughter sets us vibrating to its tune. As a member of the Re- cess Radiator Ring he is sworn not to be bothered with homework, but on the sly Charlie does. quite often, prepare his lessons. He is interested in athletics and was a member of the basketball seconds. May success await him in his career at Holy Cross. A simple sincere smile is a most fvalzzalzle asset.

He is a great favorite with Miss Dodge, es- pecially since he has conducted in her room a little experiment, in which he sets gunpowder on fire with a magnifying-glass. Although he may seem to the casual observer to be a very serious minded young man, you have but to speak to him to discover what a broad sense of humor he possesses. Best luck to you, Joe,', at Clark! If friends he credit, he has much gain. EDMUND PAUL PQYVER Born, September 19, 1903, Portsmouth, N. H.

She is a fine student, and every- thing she undertakes is sure to be thoroughly done. Perhaps this is Why she was elected class secretary in her junior year. Doris is a good singer and takes part in all the musical activities of our school. She is admired for her sincerity of manner and exactness in everything she does. Yet her dignity and reserve do not detract from her agreeable dis- position. Doris plans to study music at Syracuse University next year.

Grafton Street School HFrank is a young man well known to all his classmates, and is a very popular fellow among his friends. His only great fault is his amazing ability to sleep under very adverse conditions. Frank was sometimes an annoyance to his teachers, as it was nothing unusual to have to interrupt the class in order to rouse him from his dreams. He played on the 1920 football team. HSleepy's pranks were a great source of entertainment to his friends, sleeping and joking were his favorite sports. Frank is ambitious to become a corn- petent doctor, and will take up a pre-medical course at Holy Cross. Modest, steadfast, and fwitlz loyalty so rare, W'l1o is there that can fwitlz lzim compare?

These eventful days mark the climax for which we have striven and for which we have earnestly hoped during the past four years. Although we have eagerly anticipated the coming of commencement time, now that it is here and we are about to realize one of our most cherished hopes, we are filled with a deep sense of sorrow, for we must leave these familiar places that have become a part of us during our short stay here. We must bid good-by to the teachers to whom we have become attached, to the under-classmates in whom we have become interested, and with whom we have formed friendships, and in truth, we must have done with all things connected with our high school curriculum. We must go forth armed with the knowledge We have received, to combat greater prob- lems and more important tasks than we have yet experienced. XVe realize that upon us, as the next generation active in affairs of the world, rests the severe task of settling the problems that are now creating unrest. Upon our shoulders lies the responsibility of keeping our great nation in its position as the foremost country of the world. It is in these matters, as well as in others, that our education will play a great part. After graduation some may continue their study along educational lines. others may close their books and enter new fields of endeavor. However. no matter what we attempt or accomplish, I am sure that we cannot and will not forget the kind interest you have shown us. I hope, moreover, that your interest Will not cease now, but will continue to encourage us in our future endeavors. . Although there is nothing we can do to show you how fully we ap- preciate your interest, dear friends, and you, dear teachers, for your patient inexhaustible efforts, and you, dear parents, for the sacrifices you have gladly made in giving us this opportunity, I hope that we can make you experience the feeling of gladness that this day brings to us. And so, on behalf of my classmates, I extend to you. parents. teachers. and friends, a most sincere and hearty welcome to these. our class day exercises. www' .

Place: Research Room in Historical Department of New York Public Library. Characters: Miss Miggs, librarian, Eugene Joseph lVIcGillicuddy, searching for documents which will help in the completion of ,his thesis for a Ph. D., subject of said thesis being 'Important Persons, Places, and Events of Worcester in the 1920's. The librarian has just taken down the tenth heavy tome from the dusky shelves. lVIcGillicuddy, however, with a critical air is turning away with a disgusted shake of the head, when suddenly he spies among the rows of soberly bound books, one quite conspicuous by reason of its colors, green and white. Those colors! he murmurs, awfully familiar, somehow, I wonder what I connect them with. What is that book, anyway? That , answers the librarian, is a true record of the doings of the famous class of 1922 of Classical High School, Worcester, Massachusetts. Ah , sighs lVIcGillicudy happily, seizing the book, this is just what I need for my thesis. Sitting down in a convenient alcove, he peruses, with great satisfaction, the contents of the volume of which the following is an attested copy. In 1918 we entered Classical, freshmen, with the colors green and white. It must be admitted that the color was not inappropriate for the first few days, and possibly longer, although we soon became accustomed to the general routine of high school life. As freshmen, we were a model class. We never thought of coming to school without having our lessons prepared. Our more experienced and learned school-mates, however, informed us that we should soon get over this failing. As we did not organize until we were juniors, we had no class officers for two years. Dur debating team, consisting of Stanley Kunitz, Robert Cotton, and George Dawson, early convinced the school that there were many able speakers in our class. From the first there were many famous talkers among us, as the teachers will testify. This year. the Classical High Debating Team won the Amherst Cup for the Hrst time. Winter came, and through the bitterest days we trudged happily to school. Then came spring and our first class day. We started proudly to the Class Games with our green and white banners, but, to our dismay and humiliation, the upper classmen told us we didn't need to carry our colors, our faces would do. Then, with reverence, we witnessed the graduation of the class of 1919, and our freshman year had drawn to a close. We returned in the fall, eager to bear the title of sophomores. There was much excitement in being assigned new rooms, new teachers. and new lessons. Our second year was happier and more carefree than our first, for we had learned that our principal and teachers were far more human and not half so formidable as we had at first supposed. The boys became interested in the Debating Assembly and many of the girls entered the Aletheia Literary Society. Both girls and boys showed a marked interest in athletics and the steady, unfaltering work of all our teams made us look forward to future successes. In December came Alumni Day. Hihat a 54 THE ATFTERJVIH TH joyous reunion there was. The teachers were all so delighted to see their former pupils and so extremely proud of them. Many of us secretly won- dered if, when we were Alumni tif that time ever camel, these teachers, who were daily telling us what ignoramuses we were, would welcome us and be so proud of us. It seemed doubtful. Gur debating team, Kunitz, Cotton, and Beaudette did creditable work. For the second year the Classical Boys' Debating Team won the Amherst Cup. Then spring came. As sophomores, our colors received more respect than they had the previous year, and we all looked forward to the year in which our banners would float above all others. lt was not long after that, with sighs of mingled happiness and regret, we ended our second year. Juniors! How we had grown! The girls put up their hair and shortened their dresses, and the boys put on long trousers, though not so long but what we could note how well their carefully selected hose matched their equally carefully selected neckties. After two years of waiting we had our first class meeting and elections with these results: ,George Leyden, President, Katharine Rafter, Vice-President, Doris Roberts, Secretary, and Eugene Mc- Gillicuddy, Treasurer. VVe were now taking an active part in school life. Under Mr. Howe's capable direction, the Boys' Debating Assembly flourished as never before, and for the third consecutive year, the Amherst Cup was ours. The Aletheia Society was accomplishing a great deal along the lines of debating and declaiming, while the socials given by this society relieved the monotony of the many months of hard study. This year, for the first time, a Music Memory Contest was held between the high schools, and, to the delight of all, Classical won the silver cup. In May our first class social was held. Contrary to our expectations, it was a pronounced success. Then came the junior picnic, at which Miss Walsh and Mr. Rice were chaperones. I wonder how many recall the ride home. Do you remember how brightly the stars shone? And Thompson, Counihan, and McGi11icuddy on the hood of the driver's seat? I wonder why they chose that seat? Per- haps it was because of the scarcity of girls. TVith smiles of happy re- membrances, we left Classical at the end of our third year. Seniors at last. Oh! how we had longed for that day! Now we could assume the air of haughty indifference, the acknowledged right of dignihed seniors. At the beginning of our senior year a great calamity occurred. Bobbed hair came into style. Oh what a deplorable loss of fair tresses! WVhat sighs and groans of grief when the young men of the class beheld les petites hlles whom they most admired, with their hair bobbed. For the last time we elected our class officers, George Leyden, President, Sarah Ferguson, Vice-President, Katherine lworrissey, Secretary, and Anthony Fennelly, Treasurer. The year 1922 has been one of the busiest and most eventful periods in the history of the school. The boys have nobly upheld their athletic activities. The girls, under Captain Katherine lWorrissey, won the Girls' Basketball Championship for 1922. We are extremely proud that lirliss lylorrissey is a member of our class. For the first time there were lnter-School Debates for the girls. Gur school team, Mary Counihan, Cap- tain, Anna Brennan, hdinnie Goldstein and Eva Goodman, alternate, won the XVomen's Club Cup. The boys were equally successful and the team consisting of Aven Levenson, Captain, Stanley Kunitz, and Kenneth Higgins won for the fourth consecutive year, the Amherst Cup. After four years of hard work, Classical has secured the cup for good. CL:1SSIC.4I. HIGH SCHOOL 55 This year Classical has made a sweeping victory of everything within reach. The Boys' Declaiming Team, Stanley Kunitz, David Sullivan, and Kenneth Higgins, won the silver cup. An individual prize was awarded Kenneth Higgins for being the best speaker in the contest. The Girls' Declaiming Team: Sarah Ferguson, Charlotte Revzin, and Helen 0lToole, were not so successful, as th-is was the first year such a contest for the girls was held. But we are proud of the way in which they represented us and in the fact that the individual prize was given a Classical girl. Time forbids to tell of the countless number of activities Classical has entered, and has emerged successful. We must remember, however, that for the second year Classical won the Music Memory Contest. Much praise is due Mr. Dann and bliss Peirce through whose tireless efforts the success of this contest was assured. We wish, also, to express our thanks to Mr. Dann for the number of delightful musical programs he has prepared for us, and for the concert he gave and repeated on Parents, Night. The Hrst senior event was a sleigh-ride Qin two trucksj and a dance. The dance was held in the Shrewsbury Country Club. Everyone was in the best of spirits and even the slight accident which happened to the second truck left the occupants as merry and undisturbed as ever. Un May 19th the Green Room Dramatic Club presented the play, Esmeralda', in Tuckerman Hall. That it was a success, goes without saying, for Mr. Post and Miss Walsh directed it, and Mr. Post took part in person. June the Znd, our senior prom! Uh night long to be remembered! lt is not likely that we shall soon forget that glorious evening spent at Terpischorean Hall. Then the formal, dignified occasion of our banquet, followed by our last high school picnic, ended the social events of our high school life. Now with many cherished memories we are about to leave the school which has sheltered us through four years of joys and sorrows. The one great sorrow has been the loss of lWr. Abbot, a teacher who by his man- liness, understanding, and scholarship had won the love and respect of all. No class history really ought to be complete without an expression of our appreciation for all we have received. We believe this to be the fitting time to express to you, Mr. Porter, to our teachers, and to our parents, the gratitude we owe you all. Wherever life may lead us, we shall always retain the tenderest memories of our life at Classical High School. 1 The Principles anim Zfbeals uf the run Qulhier David Sullivan We are all here assembled to-day perhaps for the last time within these hallowed walls, which we have learned to love so well, for 'round these walls cluster associations which will stay with us during the years to come, and like the ray of light that steals into the sick room at the break of day to brighten and refresh the weary patient after the night of sleeplessness and pain, so will they be sweet memories to strengthen, support and console us in the after days, when the battle of life is wrenching the very fibres of our heart and will. This school, so respected and so worthily honored by all, and reverently known as Classical High School, is to us, trained within its walls, what the training camp is to the raw recruit who is being prepared to fight his country's battles. We are all soldiers, and we shall leave this training camp on Friday next to do battle on the great battlefield of life. Some of us, and I 'hope all, will be sent to college, the officers, training camp, but if we are to become good officers, we must first be good soldiers, so it is pertinent for each and all to consider the qualities of a good soldier. Our knowledge of the late war so fresh in our young memories warrant us listing the soldiers in three classes, typifying the different characters and ideals of each. We have the first and lowest who gives a deaf ear to his countryls clarion call and shirks his duty until physical force or fear of worse fate drags him into the ranks. He would escape the hardships and trials of war if the dragnet of conscription had not pulled him in, and now he would desert his post of duty if the fear of cold lead did not stay his feet. The second soldier is he who hears the summons to service, and although it breaks his heart to kiss his wife and children a fond farewell and sunders his ties that he holds nearest and dearest to him on this earth, still he must make the sac- rifice and he makes it willingly, for he must go where duty calls. He is the ranks not because he is driven by force, but from a sense of duty. He is a citizen. His country has served him well, has protected his rights and now his country calls upon him to save her in her hour of peril, and he responds. The principle of the first soldier is, Give service only when you are forced to give it . The principle of our second soldier is, Give service when your duty to post and country demand it . It were well, my fellow classmates, if all soldiers were found in the second class, but then there is a danger that the soldier who is in the service from a sense of duty alone, will lower his standard and prove disloyal to the cause if he is not buoyed up with enthusiasm and ardor, such ardor as Hings him into the ranks out of love for country and his country's ideals. It is hard for the trained nurse to stay by the boy's bedside all night out of a sense of duty, but it is a pleasure for the mother to be there by her boy. cooling his brow and moistening his lips. She loves her boy and is giving herself whole heartedly to his every want. Take love out of the mother's heart 58 THE fIFTER.M.4TH and that mother becomes the paid nurse. Take love out of the household and it becomes a hotel, and likewise take love of the cause and an ardent and enthusiastic devotion to a great ideal out of the heart of the soldier, and the soldier will perhaps do hisiiduty, but nothing more. He will not be found among those volunteering to risk his life and sacrifice all, to save' his fellows or bring victory to his country. 'Sacrihce is the test of love. And thus our third soldier doesnltirneasure his work by the rule of duty, but is actuated by love. He stops at no sacrifice and knows no measure and no limit when his cause and his ideals are imperilled. VVhere there is love, there is labor, or if there is labor, the labor is love , so says Saint Augustine. Fellow classmates, there is not one of us, I am sure, who does not desire to stand shoulder to shoulder with the highest and noblest type of soldier on the battlefield of life. But if we are to realize this ambition, we must take hold of high and lofty principles and ideals which are worthy of our whole-hearted devotion and service. lVe have all felt the influence of example, and so permit me to put before you this afternoon a few examples of men who cherished high ideals and lived up to them in the face of sacrifice and trials, and first l would put before you our great patriot statesman, Abraham Lincoln. Starting as he did, 'midst the most humble and disagreeable circum- stances, and surroundings which would have dishearted many another child, he made these same discouraging environments the foundation of his later achievements. By grit and devotion to duty he earned success. And those sterling qualities which Lincoln showed in his younger days, shone out with more brilliancy in later years and greater trials. Yet we know of Abraham Lincoln only through history, so let me bring before you one whom perhaps many of us knew personally, a noble product of this training school of which we are all so proud, and to whom we have given a special place of honor upon our coveted honor roll, namely, Jimmy lVIcGourty. This is his story. The U. S. S. Lake Moor had just been torpedoed by a submarine which so crippled the rudder that the ship was kept in continuous rotation, because it was impossible to shut off the steam. The ship kept whirling, whirling, whirling, and continually sinking, sinking, sinking. Every minute threatened the lives of the entire crew. lts rotary motion made it utterly impossible to lower the life boats. How lVIcGourty at the call for volunteers from the captain, cried, Captain, I'l1 go , and immediately descended to the boiler room below and shut off the steam, thereby saving the lifes of his fellow mates, is an heroic deed which fills our hearts with deep emotion as we read of it. Although his name will live forever in the annals of glory and fame, he will be far more honored and praised for the principle and ideal that made him voluntarily risk his life and bravely face death. Although Jimmy Klcfiourty was known to some of us, our memory of the late Mr. William lf. Abbot is still fresher in our minds. This is no time for me to eulogize Klr. Abbot, for l feel myself fully incompetent to properly acquit myself of such an undertaking, but l cannot possibly permit this fitting hour to fleet by without paying some tribute to him, our instructor for the past four years, who stood for only the noblest and highest ideals. I remember his teaching down in old Room -l, the last day that he was amongst us, and the fact that he strove up to 5 o'clock of that afternoon within these truly hallowed walls, preparing for us the lesson that he would never teach us. VVe all CLXISSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 59 remember the type of man Mr. Abbot was, how he never left a task un- completed, how he always did himself and expected from others only the best that could be given. It was not in these men to place pleasures and self before duty. Their ideal was higher than that. Lincoln, Jimmy McGourty and Mr. Abbot did not belong to the first class of soldiery, neither were they listed under the banner of the second, but any one or all of them would be a htting standard bearer of the last class, who gave beyond the requirements of the task as- signed. Lincoln need not have walked back miles and miles to repay a woman whom he found he had short changed a few pennies, lVIcGourty need not have gone voluntarily to death to save the lives of his fellows, Abbott need not have sacrificed for duty meeting death at his post. Oh no, but their own principles and ideals which they upheld would not permit them to do otherwise. As we sit here, ready to go forth into the battlefield, true soldiers of God and Country, let us one and all resolve upon our future principles and ideals and let us follow the example which our predecessors have set. VVe must always do our task as those I have here mentioned didg we must all be of the third type of soldiery. As the arrow flies true to the designated mark, so let us be true to our first objective, nor must we stop there but let us continue to set up higher ideals, that life may be one continual progression from good to better things. For what is life but an ever rising ladder wherein each rung marks an attainment, and upon which the rungs form an ever ascending series. t l A llllass iBrnpberp Julius Nvorman It was the memorable night of the Senior Prom. The dance was over, the other formalities of the evening duly dispensed with, and I was making my way slowly, painfully homeward. As I walked, I figured with mathe- matical precision just how much ground I had covered that night. How many yards, how many feet.-ah, yes, I had covered many feet that evening. I hardly knew where my own dull, aching limbs were leading me until, suddenly, I found myself before a park bench. I accepted the suggestion with relief, and, just as a distant clock boomed out one long, hollow stroke, I sank into the seat. Then, I dreamt. A long, white-clothed figure seemed to be approaching me. It bore a box in its hand. Julius-K-Normann, it muttered solemnly. Un june 26th, you will open this chest. Herein are contained the fates of your classmates. You shall disclose these to them. Heed carefully my words, and all will be well. The figure hurled the box viciously at my head. I cried out and awoke to find a policeman gently massaging my skull with his billy . Get along with you , he ordered, Take your package and clear out . He picked up from the ground the same little box I had seen in the vision and handed it to me. I walked home with it tightly clutched under my arm, and have since then kept it under lock and key. Now the fatal moment has arrived, when we may look into the future. Let us see what we may see. PAINTER MEETS WITH ACCIDENT WORCESTER f'KILoGRAM , wor- cester, Mass.-Mr. William Sheehan, as- sistant paint-mizzer for the Daub 'em Paint Co., yesterday stepped off the roof of the Slater Building in an attempt to disprove Sir Isaac Newton's theory of universal gravitation. Fellow workers and by-standers say that he failed. Mr. Sheehan, fortunately, fell on his head and was unhurt. On rising, however, Mr. Sheehan for- got himself and dizzily scratched his head. The splinter had to be removed at St. Vincent's Hospital. Paxton Police Force Makes Exhorbitant Demands PAXTON ADMIRAL , Paxton, Mass. --At a special meeting of the town council held last night the recent re- quest of Mr. G. Alexander Dawson for a uniform was considered, and after a heated discussion, voted down. Mr. john Miller, chairman of the council, issued the following statement: f'In view of the fact that Paxton has not yet reached its Second Liberty Loan quota, and since the majority of Pax- ton's'eitizens are out of work, due to the shutting down of the local ship-yards, the request of our police force seems inopportune at this moment. He will have to wait until our economic status is on a sounder basis. LYNCH WINS BY KNOCK-OPI 'KTHE TAGEBLATTH, New York, N. Y.-Edward Kayo Lynch, local aspir- ant to the dust-weight championship for the past 13 years, last night achieved the goal of his ambitions by defeating Robert Foley, the Lithuanian champion. and thus attaining the undisputed dust- weight championship of the East Side.

Mr. Mahan, when questioned by In- spector Power, admitted that although his cows yielded S0 quarts of milk daily, he provided his customers with 87 quarts. He was at a loss, however, to explain the increase. This is Mahan's 4th offense, as the antiquity of his hen-fruit has several times before been under question. MANAGER O'HARA DROPS ANOTHER ROOKIE SPORTING VVORLD , Hot Springs, Alaska-Manager Charles O'Hara, of of the Chicago Dubs, yesterday tendered Catcher Ralph Henry his unconditional release. Manager O'Hara stated: Henry is the most promising poker player on the squad. He would also make a good bat boy, but it costs too much to feed him. Catcher Henry does not believe he has been given a fair trial. He says: Six months is too brief a time for a man to reveal his ability. I have as yet stolen only 73 balls.

I am supported also by such well-known organizations as the S. P. C. A., the Outta-Luck Club, and the In- ternational Order of Shifters .

EDITOR WILL RETIRE THE ADAMS APPLE , Adams, Mass.-Eugene Cornelius McGillicuddy, editor, publisher, typesetter, and proof- reader of the Apple for the past fifteen years, announces that he is thinking se- riously of retiring from active work soon.

ARRESTED ON PROFANITY CHARGE WORCESTER, Mass.-Dr. Moses Fer- genson, Professor of Languages at the University of Worcester, was today booked to appear before the Criminal Court, charged with insolent and abu- sive language in public. The complaint is by Mr. Ralph Small, fioor-walker in the women's hosiery department of the Denholm-Decay Co. Dr. Fergenson stoutly denies the charge. He says: I was merely re- peating a Greek passage to myself. That probably accounts for Mr. Small's mis- understanding. I intend, when acquitted, to bring a counter charge against Mr. Small for defamation of character? In that eventn, says Mr. Small, 'fl shall retaliate with a breach of promise suit, an assault and battery complaint, and a first degree murder charge. Nor will I stop there. Judge Everett Condon states that he will adjourn the case until 1986, any- way. JANITORS MAY GO ON STRIKE THE MECCA BUTT , Mecca, R. 1. -At the annual janitors convention held here yesterday, Wilfred Beaudette, Pres- ident of the Organized High School Jan- itors of the East, urged his fellow- workers, in an enthusiastic address, to stand firm in their demand for Free Music Courses. Mr. Beaudette hinted that, unless the demands of the janitors were complied with, a walk-out might be the result. In that event , he said, the school system would fall apart. Deprived of that superior mentality of ours which has guided and directed the schools for so long, they could no longer exist. Edward Cohen, Chairman of the Unit- ed States Education Commission, says he will do all he can to reconcile the janitors. He is referring the matter to our foreign ambassador to Peru. Alphonse Nowitskus, author of the fa- mous treatise, VVhat to D and How to Do It , states that he finds no mention of anything relative to such an emergency in his first thirteen volumes, but will con- tinue his search. 66 THE AFTERMATH Miss Spayne Sues Miss Champney for Alienation of Affection PAVVTUCKET, R.

Since that time Leyden's string of home runs has run up to three. He has only 51 more to go, and is quite con- fident that he will come through. Mr. Leyden has just completed a course with the International Correspondence School, and is accordingly feeling quite fit. The average person , he says, can not appreciate what a feeling of strength and power belongs to us men of intel- lect. RURAL OPERA COMPANY ENTERTAINS HICKVILLE HERALD , Hiokville, N. H.-The Rural Opera Co. last night gave a thrilling concert in the Ton- sorial Hall before three-fourths of Hick- ville's population. The management regretfully announced before the program began, that the Piano had not been tuned for the past few years. Nevertheless the efforts of Miss Jessie Gilligan, who played such popular suc- cesses, as Carolina Rolling Bones , and Leave Me for a VVhile , were well ap- preciated. Miss Gilligan received several encores. Nliss jeanette Glick, violinist, then presented Irving Batchelor's Wedding March , in seven Hats. Elizabeth Kumin concluded the pro- gram by rendering a number of fine vocal solos. Several persons in the audi- ence fainted as she sang. This was no doubt due to the intense heat. MISS AIKENS WINS GOLF TOURNAMENT GREENWOOD, Cal.-Miss Alice Aik- ens, of Worcester, Mass., yesterday won the Women's Open Golf Championship by turning in a score of 110 for the Greenwood course, leading her nearest competitor by 50 yards.

Spectators say that Miss Aikens played a strange game, and at times they did not understand some of the new rules she seemed to be establishing. Neverthe- less all agree that Miss Aikens deserves the championship for her strenuous ef- forts. MISS O'CONNOR, OWNER OF EDUCATED PARROT WORCESTER, MASS.-Miss Theresa O'Connor, who recently created a sensa- tion by walking down Main Street with a pet alligator under her arm, and thus accomplishing what no policeman had ever done-clearing Harrington Corner, is now owner of a parrot imported es- pecially from Siberia. The parrot speaks Z7 different lang- uages, numbering Greek and Latin among its accomplishments, and will often re- cite a whole book of the Aeneid at one time. The bird is evidently of good breed- ing, for although it was fed by sailors for six months during its voyage, .it has not yet acquired the art of profanity. Relatives of Miss O'Connor suggest that the sailors may have been deaf and dumb. NADLER INVENTS NEW GAME SPRINGFIELD, MASS. - Matthew Nadler, one of the leading tennis ex- perts in the East, has invented a game which he calls Solo-Tennis. Nadler explains the game, which can be played by one person, as follows: First you serve the ball. Then run around to the other side of the court and hit it back. Keep this up until the ball goes out of bounds. The author of this very interesting game recently gave an exhibition of it at the Springfield Tennis Club. Nadler won. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 67 MISS MORRISSEY APPOINTED PHYSICAL INSTRUCTOR SUBURBANVILLE, N.

Miss Morrissey will have as her adviser and secretary, Miss Dorothy Chaffin. Miss Chaflin, too, is a well-known expert 'on matters relating to physical education, as she recently subscribed to the Physical Culture Magazine, and in her school days contributed to a drive for an Athletic Field.

Y.-Miss Miriam Chase, holder of the world's record for the parachute drop, will today attempt to ford Niagara Falls over a bridge of rope-one rope. This will be the second time that Miss Chase will attempt the feat. On her first trial, two years ago, she was three quarters of the way across when her courage failed her, and she turned back. A large crowd will turn out to see the pgrformance. IYOWD AND NICOL TIE IN HIGH JUMP NEW HAVEN, Conn.-Gordon Dowd and Theodore Nicol, both of this country, tied for first p.ac2 in the only event that was conducted yesterday in the 1932 Olympics, the high jump. Both cleared 7 feet, 10 inches, which was as high as the bar would go, else each claims he would have beaten the other. Dowd says he received his training as a youth, when each day at the close of school, he leaped from his class-room window to the ground. Nicol, on the other hand, claims he is a born jumper. Miss Evelyn Raymond says they are both born liars. Miss Raymond was clerk of course, and used, as a guide, the latest geometry book she has published. MTHE FARM-YARDW SCORES GREAT SUCCESS CHICAGO, Ill.- The Farm-Yard , the successful play written by julia Roper, America's greatest woman playwright, scored a tremendous success at its first presentation last night at the Rialto open- air theatre. The hero, Leonard Seder, whose splen- did acting has much to do with the suc- cess of the vehicle, plays a gripping part especially in the scenes with the heroine, Miss Anita Meiselman. Miss Meiselman, too, is a finished actress. or should have been six years ago. The most pathetic scene is when the hero, with tears in his eyes, peels onions in the garden. To make this garden scene more realistic, the appreciative 68 THE AFTERMATH audience tossed several kinds of vege- ESCAPED CQNVICT CAPTURED tables up on the stage. ADVICE TO THE LOVE-LORN DEPT. fConducted by Elizabeth Fallonj BOSTON ADVERTISER , Boston, Mass. Dear Miss Fallon: I am a tall, handsome fellow, 26 years of age. I dance well, and also enjoy other forms of athletics. Now, there are two girls who are bestowing their affections upon me, both of whom I like equally well. But I hate to- choose be- tween them, as I fear that, whichever I choose, the other may either die of a broken heart or commit suicide. Kindly advise me as to what I shall do about this, soon, as my parents will no longer support me, and I must very shortly find a wife to do so. Sincerely yours, ANTHONY FENNELLY. Mr. Fennelly: Yours is a hard case to decide. Why not see me personally? I am at the Castorbilt Hotel. E. F. WARDEN SAYS FISHING LAWS WILL BE ENFORCED WORCESTER, Mass. - Relph De- phoure, Fish and Game Warden of Wor- cester County, stated today that he will see to it that the laws anent fishing in Lake Quinsigamond are strictly observed this season. He says, Sea otters are to be let strictly alone, and whales over 30 feet in length must be landed by rod and line alone. Offenders will no longer be tol- eratedf' Wicllita Falls Farmer Owner of Eccentric Hen VVICHITA FALLS, Kan.-Mr. Francis VVhelan, a farmer of county-wide repu- tation, is the proud owner of a curious hen. Mr. VVhelan, whose hobby is mathe- matics, carelessly left a solid geometry book within reach of one of his egg factories some time ago. Before he could rescue the book, the hen had already di- gested several of its pages. A few days ago, the hen began to lay eggs in the form of tetrahedrons, cubes, spheres, cylinders and cones. Farmer VVhelan says he would like to know when the hen will stop, and get back to nor- malcy. SOUTHBRIDGE, Mass. - Thom a s Foley, who recently made a sensational break for liberty from the New Hamp- shire State Prison, was today recaptured by Federal oflicers in the wilds of the Southbridge woods. Mr. Foley says he left the prison be- cause the menu served there did not agree with him, and that he needed a change of surroundings anyway. Mr. Foley, once cashier of the Wor- cester Five Cents Savings Bank, is serv- ing out a ten-year term for having absconded with the entire capital of that bank. He had to return the Hve cents when arrested. NAMES WOMEN FOR POLICE POSITION WORCESTER, Mass.-Civil Commis- sioner, Edward Maloney, yesterday made known the following two candidates who will be eligible to fill the vacancy in the Worcester Police Force: MARGARET CONLON CECILE MIGAUCKAS Mr. Maloney said he was inclined to favor Miss Conlon for the position, due to her aggressive personality. He thinks, however, that Miss Migauckas' reasons for being chosen will also be of great weight in the contest for the place. Miss Migauckasn, he said, 'fis a splendid il- lustration of why women once ruled su- preme. HAVERHILL AUTHOR WINS PULITZER TROPHY HAVERHILL, Mass.-Francis Armour, a writer well-known in literary circles throughout the state, has been awarded the Pulitzer Trophy for the best short story of 1950. Mr. Armour's prize-winning effort was The Last of the Rodents , or, The Mouse-Trap . It was published in the Scientific American's humor column two months ago. Ever since Mr. Armour's hrst attempt at story-writing, The Lady with the Mahogany Face , was accepted by the Argus , a school publication, he has risen rapidly in his work. Mr. Armour, by the way, is unmarried.

EPSTEIN DISCOVERS STRANGE ANIMAL THE QUINSIGAMOND QUACK',- George Eptsein, while taking his regular evening walk in the woods last night, claims he came upon an animal unknown in this part of the country-a wampus. Mr. Epstein describes it as a square- headed, one-eyed creature, with two tails. It is of constantly shifting colors, and walks with a swaying motion, so that you cannot tell where it is going. Two parties have set out toward the woods as a result of Epstein's announce- ment. Miss Mary Shea is heading a Scientific Research Club which will at- tempt to capture the wampus, if such a creature exists. The other posse is under the direction of Prohibition Officer, Mary Flynn, who says she thought she had cleaned out all the places where liquor might be ob- tained. DOUBLE SUIT INVOLVED IN PIANO ACCIDENT BOSTON, MASS.-Lawrence Peterson, Mathematics professor at M. I. T., yes' terday brought action against the Sol- omon Zieve Piano Moving Co. for S fn-lj 000.

Miss Greenberg will sue either Mr. Peterson or Mr. Zieve, according to whether her piano was shattered before or at the time in reached the ground. UNKNOWN MAN FOUND UN- CONSCIOUS ON TRACKS sAN FRANCISCO, Cal.-The man- gied form of an unknown man was this morning found on the San Francisco R. R., and immediately rushed to the local hospital, where the man was given first and treatment by Head Surgeon hffary D. Spencer. The man, who is of un- kempt appearance, evidently tried to dis- pute the right of way with a north- bound express. There is not much hope for his recovery. Miss Spencer seemed to recognize the man when she first saw him, but evi- dently did not care to make known her relations with him in the past, if any. The only thing by which the stranger can be identified is a signet ring bear- ing the initials: J. K. N. 1 Q9pening nuts Rose Grace What am l going to do after graduation? That is the question which every June confronts the girls graduating from our schools and colleges The causes for th1s fact are not far to seek. VVhile it is not true of each 1nd1v1dual, the majority of girls become, for a longer or shorter time, wage- earners. Since this is so, it is important that the worker make her choice wisely. Again, it not infrequently happens that emergencies arise whereby some girl who has never felt the pressure of necessity is forced to earn her living. At such a crisis, the one who has been trained to do some definite thing well has an inestimable advantage. For these reasons, the question, What am l going to do ? becomes more than an idle query. The old answers to this question were comparatively few. The questioner usually followed the line of least resistance. lt might take her to the normal school to become a teacher, to the store as a clerk, to the library school for a special course, or to some hospital where she trained for a nurse. But many changes have occurred, particularly in the years during and since the war. Today the graduating girl has countless opportunities before her. On every hand are opening doors. Her problem is rather to find out the particular business or profession for which she is best adapted. She must carefully consider her native ability, the necessary training, and the probable monetary returns, before her decision is made. The woman farmer is no longer a joke. During the war, in England. and to a less extent in this country, girls and women demonstrated their ability to do all kinds of manual labor. In some instances, they did even better work than men, though less fitted physically for the heavier forms of farm work. Then, it was war work, a necessity, but some of these girls discovered that they had a genuine liking for one form or another of agriculture. Actually managing a farm does not appeal to every individual, never- theless a plucky, ambitious girl can always do the unusual. Here is a case in hand: Une of the present students in Amherst High School owns her own farm, manages it, and superintends her help, besides doing her regular school work. Since childhood, she has worked at gardening. In the city where she formerly lived she raised poultry and vegetables for market. lVhen she moved to Amherst, she kept on with poultry raising, later she extended her interest to stock raising and dairying. From the proceeds she means not l on y to pay her way through agricultural college, but she has already a sub- stantial bank account. It is not every girl who would have the inclination or ability for general farming, yet if one likes growing things, has a knack with them. and a little training or experience, market gardening is not an impossible occupation for a woman. Here is the Held for the girl who enjoys out-door work and who lives near a city where she can easily market her produce. The heavy parts of the work such as plowing and harrowing can be easily done by hired help, for the rest, there is nothing which the girl with a little practical experience, or with a year or two of training in some agricultural 72 THE AFTERMATH school, could no do herself. The hours are necessarily long and she is likelv to have the farmer's usual discouragements in the shape of hostile bugs and unkind weather. However, steady work and patience, in the end, will count heavily towards success. Floriculture, to some more fascinating than market gardening, calls for much the same ability, training, and experience. Some girls have succeeded admirably at this occupation. It would not be impracticable along with market gardening or floriculture to take up the keeping of bees. Any girl who has leisure may add something to her income and much to her pleasure by keeping a colony of bees. lwany women are already doing this work and find in the care and industry of their bees. a never failing source of en- thusiasm. For more centuries than one can count, honey has been a valuable and esteemed food. The annual production in the United States alone is 25,000,000 pounds. There is always a demand for it. One can make no mistake in taking up bee keeping if a good market is the only considera- tion. Moreover, it is work that requires a minimum of time and labor in proportion to the returns. Agricultural schools all over the United States are offering the necessary training for all these types of work. VVhile girls with the love of out-door life are doing such work, others are devoting themselves to indoor tasks. A comparatively new position which women are filling very capably is in the loan department of the banks. Here they interest people, who might otherwise never think of putting their money in a bank, to make deposits and to do business with the establishment. Before loaning money, a woman's natural tendency leads her to find out everything concerning the applicant. Then, if satisfied, she loans the person the amount required. A high school or college education is a distinct advantage in dealing with foreigners. Daily the doors of opportunity are swinging Wider for the admittance of the business woman. This is especially true in the hotel world. Hotels, like other industrial plants, are divided into departments, each a spoke in the wheel of organization, the hub of which is the manager. Nevertheless, there is one position for which a man can never apply, that of housekeeper. The qualifications for a good housekeeper in a large hotel are manifold. She must be skilled in handling maids and housemen, must have knowledge of linens, upholstery, carpets, rugs, hangings, and curtains. Nor is it a small task to provide for and keep track of linens for bedrooms, up to the number of two thousand, and for the restaurants. ln a certain large hotel in New York, on each guest fioor there are fifty fioor clerks at a desk where records are kept, mail distributed, and telephone and telegraph messages re- ceived. The head of the department, a woman, with the aid of her assist- ants has also charge of the lost and found department. Another position in the hotel is that of sanitary inspectress, which is very interesting work, but perhaps not enviable. She sees that sanitary conditions are observed in the kitchen in such matters as the handling of food, and the keeping of the kitchen clean. Hotel work requires patience, tact, a sense of humour, and more good temper than one mortal possesses, but the returns are sat- isfactory. A housekeeper in one of our large hotels may receive as high as S4300 a month in addition to her living expenses. Of course no novice, or indeed anyone without exceptional ability, could hope for such recognition as this. YVhile the aspiring business woman is adapting herself to work in CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 73 the industrial world, her high school classmate or her college chum may be fitting herself for one of the so-called professions. Among these medicine holds an important place. Women as doctors are not new but of recent years they are steadily increasing in numbers. There are, in the Un'ted States at the present time, more than 9,000 women physicians and surgeons, hundreds of whom are devoting themselves solely to children's health. Some are also teaching physical culture in the schools, Dr. Louise Pearce of the Rockefeller Institute for lWedical Research has recently carried out a difficult mission to the Belgian Congo in connection with the African sleeping sickness. This is one of the more exacting professions and no girl should dream of entering it unless she has a genuine love for it and is willing to give up much for it. Dentistry, too, is attracting more young women than ever before. Sta- tistics show there are already in this country 1,254 women in the dental profession. Here is a very important means by which one may render public service and improve public health, for our common diseases are often caused by decayed teeth. The entailed labor is not necessarily difficult, in the sense that it does not demand severe physical labor, and long hours, but, nevertheless, it presupposes a natural liking and interest. There are various branches of this work, such as that of hygiene, the care of childrenfs teeth only, or the care of babies' teeth, some dentists specialize in the treatment and some in the extraction of teeth. Long years ago Portia, in Shakespearefs Merchant of Venice , paved the way for the woman lawyer of today. This month twenty-three girls have received the degree of Bachelor of Laws from the Portia Law School. They are only a few of the young women with a liking for logic, and a clear, judicial type of mind who have entered upon the legal profession. Women lawyers are at present holding conferences for the purpose of enforcing laws which will protect the office girl as well as the girl in mercantile estab- lishments. There are also a few women now holding office as judges. Many women with scientific training and experience are devoting them- selves to research work. Madam Curie, as the discoverer of radium, is known far and wide, for this wonderful substance will doubtless be the means of saving the lives of many people. Not everyone can hope to be a Madam Curie, yet there are various branches of research work that women are well able to do. ln the Research Department at Washington, women are working in botany, chemistry, physics, and medicine. There are women also doing municipal work in our cities. This work has been considered of such great value that women are being elected to positions on the staffs of Municipal Research Bureaus. These are only a few of the doors that are open to the eager girl today. There are others, closed as yet, waiting for a magic touch to swing them wide. Perhaps theer are more to be found, so many have been found through ambition, courage, and persistence, in the last fifty years. Hfhere- ever we turn we seem to see them, opportunities for service, for devotion. or self sacrifice-opening doors. The lining Jflame Stanley Kunitz That empires should rise and fall, that civilization should flourish and decay, is the law of history. Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome--all have held aloft the torch of light and the sword of dominion, and all have had them snatched from their grasp. Freedom, glory, wealth, corruption, ruin, have been the stages of their career. These nations fell not because of lack of Wealth, or of empire, or of leaders, but because they had forsaken their ideals. Americ, together with the rest of the world, is in a precarious con- dition. Discontent and conflict have swept their path across the earth, Our public leaders face an ever-increasing storm of dissatisfaction. Great statesmen and thinkers bemoan the fact that our material progress has been out of all proportion to our moral advancement. H. G. Wells makes the startling statement, The ship of civilization is sinking now . Perhaps these conditions are being exaggerated, perhaps the world is looking at them through the lens of a microscope and forgets that the microscope is there. Nevertheless, a world decline is taking place. And it must be stopped. There is only one thing that we, who bring new blood into the nations veins, can do. We must cling fast to America's ideals, we must be true Ameri- cans. We must keep alive the spirit that founded and developed this country, wrote its laws, and established its government. Being an American does not mean being perfect. Americans, as well as other people, have their good points and their bad. We are selfish, arrogant, egotistical. Yet, within us lies dormant a spark of real nobility that can be fanned into a mighty blaze. The German Army shrank from the scorching heat of that blaze in 1917 and 1918. Washington, the father of our country, Lincoln, its savior, Roosevelt, the stimulator of its conscience, these are commonly called the great Americans. But everyone of us can be a great American, simply by being true to America's ideals. To be a true American you must first know America-the physical America and the spirit- ual America that like clinging vines have interwoven and become as one. Our physical America is a mighty one. You must see the 8,000,000 farms that fed Europe in her hour of need. You must travel beneath the waters of the Hudson in mile-a-minute trains. You must go across the country on one continuous stretch of highway. You must visit the highest dam in the World, in Idaho. You must go to Utah and see that mountain of copper being torn down at the rate of 38,000 tons a day. You must visit the 76 THE AFTERJVL4 TH fertile fields of the Southwest that ten and twenty years ago were arid deserts. You must walk through New York's Broadway with its theatres and cafes, and you must penetrate into the slums and tenement districts. You must go to the South and gaze upon the lazy plantations of snowy-white cotton balls and of ripe, enticing fruits. You must see the waving corn and grain fields of Wisconsin and Michigan. You must visit the largest mc- tropolis and the smallest village. You must see the good and the evil. You must realize the struggle we are makingto preserve the good and to improve the evil conditions. You must remember that America's greatest statesman was once a rail-splitter, that America is a land of unlimited opportunity, where the dreamer has oft fulfilled his dreams. Une of our presidents first earned his bread with thread and needle. Another started in life as helper to his father, a tanner. The greatest in- ventor in America, indeed, in the world, is a man who cannot hear the very invention of his that brings delight to millions through the transforma- tion of the human voice. One of our senators, totally blind, must grope his way into the senate chamber. The great steel king and philanthropist who died a few years ago came over from Scotland as a Steerage passenger. America was to them, and is, today, as a mighty mountain full of price- less gems and ore, waiting for those who can blast them forth through am- bition and zeal and work. We have Alaska, and we have Florida. Winthin our soil grows every raw product essential to the conduct of any industry. Go to New York and you find the greatest university in the world. Go three thousand miles away and you find the second greatest university where seventy years ago there was nothing but a deer pasture. And after you have seen and wondered at these miracles of human accomplishment, you must inevitably ask, How did all this come to be ? And then you discover the spirit of America. That spirit lives in our forest, where once the pioneers trod unafraid. lt lives in Plymouth Rock, where the Pilgrim fathers first stepped foot. Go back to Bunker Hill or to Valley Forge where Washington's men died of cold through a terrible winter. Stand on the shell-rent sod at Gettys- burg, mark the place where Lincoln gave his immortal address. Climb to the top of San juan I-lillg walk the battle-torn ground at Chatteau-Thierry. Look at the Hag that has led us on, ever triumphant. Look at the faces of those ten boys who died to make men free . There, lives the spirit of America. The spirit of America is the spirit of doing things, no matter what the struggle or cost. lt is the spirit that cleared our forests, built our cities, and made us great. lt is the spirit that has made our men lay down their lives, not for greed or conquest, but for right, for justice, and for mankind. It must, and it will sweep through our country and force its way into every CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 77 home. It will sweep through other lands, it will conquer the world, for this our spirit is a living flame, a blazing torch, that must burn its way into every heart. Let us, who represent the youth of America, pledge our- selves to tend that flame throughout our lives as the Vestal Virgins of Rome watched by the sacred blaze. Let us ever keep America first. Let us ever follow as a guiding star the motto of our school, Non sibi, sed omnibus . Let us always strive to do our best, whether we be one of the leaders or one of the hundred million that constitute our country. The mother who works through the weary days to give her boy an education, the man who lends a helping hand to the wretched down-and-outer , the boy who strives through the hot summer days to win a prize for the products of his little garden, the small town manufacturer who provides sanitary and pleasant working conditions for his few employees, the school-teacher who teaches his first letters to a boy who will one day write a poem that will bring solace and comfort to millions-these, every one of them, are living examples of true Americanism. They are all makers of the flag. There has been a movement in this city to commemorate the noble deeds of our boys who crossed the sea imbued with the spirit that has made America. Let us symbolize that spirit by building a lofty monument that will rear its head toward the clouds. And let that monument stand for our right arm lifted to Heaven in eternal pledge that we shall keep alive thc burning spirit of America. .... X X 'S 0 Wm fini! J f fl mu 1 1 ff X fgf , 2. A A Q v-.

ALETHEIAZ OFFICERS AND DEBATING TEAM Glue Qletbeia literary Svntietp September, 1921 began one of the most progressive terms in the history of the Aletheia. In the past two years it has reached the goal for which it has been striving for many years. It now stands as the Aletheia Literary Society, one of the most promising girls' societies in the four high schools. The members of this society fully appreciate the fact that the Aletheia owes its whole existence to the tireless efforts of Miss Hunt. When this society was nothing more than a dancing class, on the verge of disintegration, this exceptional teacher offered her services to the society, in order that it might regain its former power and dignity. Perhaps another reason why the Aletheia Society has accomplished so much this last year is 'because the members chose the most efficient girls available for officers. For the first term the girls in office were: Minnie Goldstein, President, Katharine Rafter, Vice-President, Anna Brennan, Sec- retary, Elizabeth Ryan, Treasurer. These girls put a great deal of en- thusiasm into their work and succeeded remarkably well. Much praise is due Miss Goldstein, who made an excellent president and gained the love and respect of all the members. The program of each meeting was inter- esting and instructive. The girls were taught self-expression and poise. Many of the most vital and important questions were debated. The musical programs were well prepared and enjoyed by all. The freshman girls gave a feature program from Miss Lulu Bett , which was delightful. There is a great deal of talent among the younger members of the society and much is expected of them in the coming years. The Aletheia had one social the first term. Twenty-five dollars of the money received from it was appropriated to the scholarship fund. The officers for the second term were: Sarah Ferguson, President, Anna Brennan, Vice-President, Mary Counihan, Recording Secretary, Anna Thompson, Corresponding Secretary, Minnie Goldstein, Treasurer, Kath- arine Rafter, Critic. These girls continued the good work of their pre- decessors. The second term, new laws pertaining to attendance at the meetings were made and enforced. It was thought advisable to do this in order to separate those who were really interested in the success of the society, from those who belonged only in order to attend the socials. The Aletheia is extremely proud of the fact that the four girls on the Classical Girls' Debating team are girls who received their first training in the society. These girls are Mary Counihan, captain, Anna Brennan, lltfinnie Goldstein, and Eva Goodman, alternate. lt is also interesting to note that the three girls on the Girls' Declaiming team are Aletheia girls. They are Sarah Ferguson, captain, Charlotte Revzin, and Helen 0'Toole, alternate. Thus the Aletheia has proved that it is deserving of respect, and that the work it has done the past few years has produced praiseworthy results. The senior members in the Aletheia are Rachel Beilkin, Elizabeth Fallon, Sarah Fei- guson, Minnie Goldstein, Rose Grace, Viola McLean, Theresa G'Connor. and Katharine Rafter. B0 Y S, DEBATING TEA M Qmberst CEEIIIJ Rebates Having six victories in a series to their credit, the Classical boys started out this year with the determination to win the two debates of the year and keep the Amherst Cup reposing evermore on the shelves of our Alma Mater. The evening of March 17th sent our boys off on the road to victory by the defeat of Commerce. In this preliminary debate Classical completely overwhelmed Commerce in the discussion on the question, Resolved: That the rental value of land should be taken by taxation for public revenue, and that all taxes should be abolished . Classical's boys, Aven Levenson, captain, Stanley Kunitz, Kenneth Higgins, and Jordan Sandman, alternate, proved to a capacity audience at the North High School Hall that they could win on the more difficult side of such an intricate question. The Commerce boys were well versed on their side of the debate but could not compete with our boys. The long weeks of hard preparation spent by the boys under the super- vision of Mr. Howe and Mr. Farnsworth showed up in their splendid per- formance. They lacked neither material nor poise. There was now left one more victory to record. The chance for this came May 25th when Classical met North for the final debate of the year. This debate was the closest that Classical had experienced in the last four years. Qur boys had prepared themselves for every argument they could foresee, but North put up an entirely new phase of the question, which for a moment stunned our boys. No coaching of any kind could then have helped them over the crisis, and then the boys showed their keenness of mind in such an emergency. Venerunt, viderunt, vicerunt. Thus classical won the final leg of the Amherst Cup Debates after a period of four long years of struggle without a defeat. The cup resting on the office shelf will serve as a memory of these glorious days and as an inspiration to those who are to follow us. But the school owes much ,to the two men who guided our boys to victory. Mr. Perry S. Howe and Mr. Albert Farnsworth are men who serve, men who live for others as well as for themselves. These men have sacrificed time and energy for the sake of the debating team. The school owes them a debt that can never really be paid. The following are the teams which helped bring about the winning of the Amherst Cup: George Mason, Edward Brown, Herman Eisenberg, and Mendon Morrill of the 1919 team, Walter McAdam, Aven Levenson, Hyman Berlyn, and Jacob Yanofsky of the 1920 team, Eli Smith, Stanley Kunitz, Aven Levenson, and Jacob Yanofsky of the 1921 team, Aven Lev- enson, Stanley Kunitz, Kenneth Higgins, and Jordan Sandman of the 1922 team. To the qounger members of Classical, the class of 1922 suggests that they follow the precedent of these graduates. Zgups' Zlnteriiaigb bthuul Reclamation Qlluntest . It is with a feeling of extreme pride that we speak of the Inter-High School Declamation Contest, which was held January 18, 1922. With hearts full of expectation the loyal supporters of Classical hurried excitedly to South High School to cheer our boys on to victory. Nor were their expectations disappointed. Our boys, Stanley Kunitz, captain, David Sullivan, and Ken- neth Higgins made such a showing that Classical can well be proud of them. In the first place, the team captured the Post Cup for our school. Then, also Kenneth Higgins, as the best speaker of the four high schools, had the distinction of being chosen the winner of the individual prize, a handsome volume of Longfellow's works. This distinction was won last year by Eli Smith, the captain of last year's team. The selections rendered by the members were as follows: Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge .....................

Lloyd George Stanley Kunitz The cup offered by the Worcester Evening Post, was presented to the team by his Honor, Mayor Peter F. Sullivan, father of David Sullivan. The individual prize, offered by Mr. Clough of the School Committee was pre- sented to Mr. Higgins by the Assistant Superintendent of Schools, hair. Young, who acted as chairman of the evening. This school can hardly express its deep gratitude to lWr. Perry Howe and Mr. Martin lvl. Post for their unfailing energy in coaching these boys. The cup will remain in Classical's possession for one year, after which it will again be put into competition. Last year the cup was won by the North High School by a small margin over Classical. Three victories mean its permanent possession. Classical has but to win twice more to re- tain it on the shelves of our good old Alma Mater. Although the school loses two of the team by graduation, there will still be left behind excellent material with which to gain even' more glorious victories than those of the past year. Under the ardent guidance of llr. Howe and lVIr. Post, Classical cannot help but put forth brilliant orators. That the under classmates may always be ready to serve their school. and determined to make of themselves the same silver-tongued orators that Classi- cal has been producing for so many long years, is the ardent wish of the graduating class of 1922. QE. . 9. Eehating ssemhlp The year 1921-22 was one of marked success for the C. H. S. Debating Assembly. During this year the membership of the organization grew tremendously, and along with its growth in numbers there was Wide spread interest in the work of the society among outsiders as Well as among the members themselves. Practically every meeting found the assembly room filled to capacity. Then, also, there was a better quality of speaking than was ever witnessed before in the society. This was well noted in the incidents of the greatest importance that oc- cured during this year, namely, the winning of the Post Public Speaking Cup, the winning of the prize for the Best Irzdiwidual Speaker, also the overwhelm- ing victory in the Hnal leg of the Amlzerst Cup, which brought joy .to the heart of everyone. Now the cup will remain in Classical forefver. In honor of this a great reunion and jollification were held on the evening of May 29th. The declaiming team, which carried off the Post Cup for Classical, was chosen at the public meeting, December 21, 1921 in the school hall. The judges of the evening, Professor Wade of the Worcester Academy, Professor Adams of Worcester Polytechnic Institute, and Frank H. Robson of the Bancroft School had no enviable task in chosing the team to represent the school. A most excellent team they did pick, however, in Stanley Kunitz, captain, David Sullivan, and Kenneth Higgins, with Seymour Revzin and Leon Potashinski, alternates. Kenneth Higgins was the winner of the individual prize for the best speaker of the high schools. The debating team was chosen at another public meeting, February 1, 1922. The judges, Attorney George Mirick, Professor WVade of Wor- cester Academy, and Professor Adam of Worcester Polytechnic Institute. after long deliberation chose Aven Levenson, captain, Stanley Kunitz, and Kenneth Higgins, with Jordan Sandman, alternate. The officers of the assembly for the first term of the year were: Stanley Kunitz, President, Hyman Burwick, Vice-President, and Julius Norman, Secretary. The officers of the Executive Committee were: Kenneth Hig- gins, Arthur Leclair, and Israel Block. The Membership Committee con- sisted of Leonard Seder, Seymour Revzin, Arthur Leclair, Boris Dephoure, and Thomas Sweeney. The officers for the second term were: Hyman Burwick, President? Arthur Leclair, Vice-Presidentg Moses Fergenson, Secretary. The execu- tive Committee included Israel Block, Julius Norman, and Robert Cotton. The Membership Committee included Eugene McGillicuddy, George Kangis- ser, Leon Potashinski, Edward Bergen, Boris Dephoure, and Richard Shul- inski. XVhat other society in any city can boast of a record equal to that of the C. H. S. Debating Assembly? The work of the organization speaks for itself. For this pre-eminence in public speaking the assembly owes its most heartfelt thanks to the man, who through his untiring and faithful efforts has made it the leading assembly of its kind. This man is Mr. PERRY S. HUYVE. Thanks are also due Mr. Martin M. Post and Mr. Albert Farnsworth, who so ably assisted Mr. Howe in leading the society's teams to victory. hifay Carry On be your watchword. Girls' ifntmflilass Rebates Remarkable ability to debate has been developed by our girls, thanks to the untiring efforts of the coaches, who were Miss Mary Fitzpatrick, for the seniors, Mr. Martin Post, for the juniors, Miss Elizabeth Watson, for the sophomores fMr. Post substituted for Miss Watson on account of her enforced absencej 3 and Miss Anna Shaughnessy for the freshmen. The question for discussion in the first debate was, Resolved: That life imprisonment be substituted for capital punishment in Massachusetts. The freshmen, Pauline Cotton, Taube Stayman, and Helen O'Toole up- held the affirmative. The juniors, Anna Brennan, Anna Thompson, and Mary Counihan, who defended the negative, won by a unanimous decision. The judges were Mr. O'Regan, Mr. Arey, and Miss Walsh. The question for the second debate read, Resolved: That the motion pictures have a beneficial influence on the community. It was supported on the affirmative by the seniors, Minnie Goldstein, Katherine Morrissey, and Sadie Ferguson. This team won unanimously over the sophomores, Eva Goodman, Rose Rabinovitz, and Leona LeClerc. The judges were Miss Helen Cooke, Mr. George O'Flynn, and Mr. Allan Rice. The question for the last debate read, Resolved: That arbitration should be made compulsory in all railroad disputes. The junior team, composed of Anna Brennan, Anna Thompson, and Mary Counihan, was awarded the decision over the senior team, composed of Minnie Goldstein, Katherine Morrissey, and Sadie Ferguson. The judges were Mr. George Hearn, Miss Florence Ryan, and Miss Harriet Pierce. Enya' lintzrzftllass ehates The first interclass debate was between the juniors and freshmen, on the question, Resolved: That the United States retain permanent control of the Phillipinesf' The juniors, jordan Sandman, captain, Edward Bergen, and Samuel Silverman, upheld the affirmative, the freshmen, Boris Dephoure, captain, Irving Kunin, and Adrian Van Leuwin, the negative. The judges, Miss Brown, Mr. Powers. and Mr. Rice awarded the decision to the freshmen. The senior and sophomore boys met in debate on the question, Resolved: That the territorial and militaristic attitude of Japan requires increased arm- ament by the United States. The sophomores, Seymour Revzin, captain, George Kangisser, and Israel Block argued for he aflirmative, while the seniors, Leonard Seder, captain, Julius Norman, and Stanley Kunitz took the negative side. The decision was given to the seniors by the judges, Miss Henderson, Mr. G'Regan, and Mr. Farnsworth. The final debate between the seniors and freshmen took place on Jan- uary 9th. The question was, Resolved: That a cabinet system of gov- ernment similar to that of Great Britain should be adopted by the United States. The seniors, Leonard Seder, captain, Everett Condon, and Julius Norman upheld the affirmative, the freshmen, Boris Dephoure, captain, Adrian Van Leuwin, and Irving Kunin, the negative. The judges, lXIiss Crawford, Miss Henderson, and Mr. Arey, declared the seniors, victors. The splendid delivery of the debaters made decisions hard to render. After such a showing, we are assured of Classical's continued supremacy' in debating. GIRLS, DECLAIMING TEAM GIRLS, DEBATINC TEAM Zinterzilaigb Scbunl Eetlamatiun Qluntest Great interest was shown in the trials for the girls, inter-high school declamation contest. From the seventeen contestants only two were to be chosen to represent the school in the Hnal contest. Dr. Elder presided at the meeting. Miss Sarah Ferguson was given first place, Miss Charlotte Revzin, second, with lVIiss Helen O'Toole as alternate. lVIrs. John Herbert an- nounced the awards of the judges, heartily commending the work of every speaker. The final inter-school declamation contest for the Mayor Sullivan Trophy was held April Zlst, in the South High School Hall. Each of the four high schools presented its two best speakers. Mr. Walter S. Young presided, with Miss Jessie Dell Lewis, Mr. Charles Campbell, Mrs. Charles T. Estabrook, Mrs. John W. Sheehan and Mr. Harold H. Wade as judges. lt was understood that the best individual speaker should receive a prize, and the two speakers from any one school, the trophy. We are proud of the representation we received from our two speakers, although the trophy was presented to Miss Helen Cashen and Miss Evelyn Rhodenizer of Commerce. We are pleased to state, however, that Miss Sarah Ferguson was given the individual prize, two volumes of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's works. Next year we expect to win the trophy as well as the individual prize. Girls' ilnter-iiaigb btbunl ehates This year a new activity, namely, an inter-high school debating contest for girls, has been introduced into our school life. We have good reason to expect that it will be just as successful as the boys' contests have been, for we started off with a glorious victory. In the preliminary debate with North High School on March 17th, the en- viable reputation of Classical was upheld by Mary Counihan, captain, Anna Brennan, Minnie Goldstein and Eva Goodman, alternate, before an en- enthusiastic audience in the Commerce High School Hall. Classical had the affirmative side of the question, Resolved: That Massachusetts should establish a State University. The decision, which was in our favor, was unanimous. The final debate between the two victorious teams, was held on lNIay 24th, at Commerce Hall. Our team again upheld the affirmative side. The question read, Resolved: That federal aid should be given to the support of state and local school systemsf, We won the handsome cup given by the Worcester Women's Club. The cup is to remain at Classical until the next contest. It will become the permanent possession of the school which wins it for three years. In both debates, the girls showed a marked superiority to other teams, presenting their arguments in a finished, clear and concise manner. They were extremely forceful in their rebuttals. Words are not adequate to express our appreciation of the valuable as- sistance of Miss Annie H. Henderson and Miss Anna C. Shaughnessy for their helpful and ready support. Their work and suggestions meant much in bringing another victory to our ever victorious Classical. The Qrgus The Argus, though yet in its infancy, has in the past year surpassed the success of the preceding one. The members of the editorial staff have received numerous congratulations on the excellence of their work, from the alumni and the student body, all of which have been effective as heartening stimuli. This excellence, however, is due in a large degree to Miss Williams, who has charge of the literary department. She has been the indefatigable foster-mother of The Argus, the fountain head from whence have issued many of the new ideas that have made the paper so successful. More work has been done by her than many a teacher could or would undertake. This opportunity is seized upon to thank her most warmly for her unceasing and tireless labor in behalf of our school paper. Toward the middle of the year, a change was made in the business board as Mr. Powers, the faculty adviser, left the school to enter business. It was a hard blow to The Argus, for under hir. Powers' judicious management The Argus has been well conducted since its beginning. However, good fortune again attended the school paper in obtaining Mr. Arey of the Physics Department as new faculty adviser. Mr. Arey, who came to Classical last fall, despite the short time that he has had the finances of the pamphlet under his control, has proven himself entirely efficient in handling them. The financial status of The Argus has been excellent because of the zeal of the ad solicitors, the live interest manifested by the student body in their paper, and the prudent direction, first of Mr. Powers, and then of Mr. Arey. A digest of the past year's issues of The Argus is not necessary, Special mention might be made of the Christmas issue, distinctive because of the excellence of its literary contents, and the faculty issue, valuable for its directory of the faculty and the student body.

This is the second year during which the Classical High School Qrchestra has been under the capable and inspiring leadership of Mr. Arthur Dann. The orchestra meets Weekly, and has by persistent practice succeeded in playing any of the more difficult classical compositions with artistic skill. The school has been entertained with splendid programs, especially planned for its instruction and delight. Some famous composers, such as Mendelssohn and Mozart were chosen, their lives read, and selections from their compositions played by the orchestra, a violinist, or a pianist. A selected group from the orchestra was often chosen to play at outside affairs. On May fourth and fifth they performed at the Players' Club, at Tuckerman Hall. At various times they also played for the Dram atics Club and the Republican Club. In the fall, this group entertained with selections at Mechanics Hall, Where the Fanning Exhibit Was held. On these occasions, Albert Wassell displayed his extraordinary talent, for he was chosen concert master in all these performances. He is also assistant director of the entire orchestra as Well as an expert violinist. The school will feel deeply the loss of this talented musician, for he is a member of the graduating class. ' Sufficient praise and credit cannot be given Mr. Dann. Under his superior direction, our orchestra has attained heights hitherto unreached. With the members of the orchestra, he studied the compositions, making them doubly interesting and giving the members a rare opportunity to understand real music. Among the graduating members are: Albert Wassell, Jeanette Glick. Moses Fergenson, Anita lVIeiselman, and Sophie Ephraim. The loss of the senior members will be greatly felt, yet We know others will worthili' succeed them. The members of the orchestra are: First Violin Albert VVassell Anita Meiselman James Bernard Jeanette Glick Evelyn Asselta Bella Shultz Bessie Rosenbaum Freida Crosby Cecile Pofcher Second Violin Sam Nuzie Leo Disilet hforris Hurwitz Marcia Feingold Benjamin Victor Royden Behrmer Sohie Ephraim Jacob Rudis Archie Herard Trombone, Joseph VVinch.

'Cello, Meyer Meiselman Cornefs Moses Fergenson Allen Ashton Harold Kangisser Girls' Else Cllluh The Girls' Glee Club is another one of our musical clubs of which we are supremely proud. On most occasions, the Girls' and Boys' Glee Clubs sang in a combined chorus, as in the programs planned for Lincoln's Day, and for Alumni Day. In the school concert, given with great success on January 26th, and repeated several weeks later for the benefit of the parents, the girls sang in perfect harmony, Mom Rise and Jolly Winter . Here, Elizabeth Kumin and Katharine Rafter sang solos, with distinct success. At the Musical Festival given at Mechanics Hall, April 17th, the girls sang in a combined chorus, consisting of the Girls' Glee Clubs of all the high schools, in the Elves' Chorus , before an audience of sixteen hundred. The seniors of this organization are Doris Roberts, Elizabeth Kumiu, Jessie Gilligan, and Katharine Rafter. The remaining members and worthy successors are: Alice Manning, Elizabeth Mahoney, Dorothy Kane, Doris Tebo, Frieda Crosby, Irene Cloutier, Amoretta Weed, Ida Goldfader, Myrtle Booth, Helen Morris, Flora Fergenson, Helen Palmer, Charlotte Revzin, Betty Boyle, and Julian Goldman, accompanist. To Mr. Arthur Dann, we must again extend our heartiest thanks for having so competently shaped the past and present of our musical clubs. Enya' Glee Iuh The second year in the history of the Boys' Glee Club has been a most auspicious one. The numbers of the club have been augmented, and its talents highly developed. It is now an organization that can confidently compete with the glee clubs of other schools, thanks to the able leadership of Mr. Arthur Dann, its founder. Un Alumni Day the club participated in the exercises, and sang Winter Song , and a school song, Classical , Written by Miss Henderson, and set to the music of Rigoletto. Miss Frances Hunt supervised the concert on Lincolnls and Roosevelt's day. On that occasion a mixed chorus of boys and girls sang 'gKeller's American Hymn . The boys also assisted at the VVorcester Musical Festival on April 18th by participating in the singing of the lnter-High School Consolidated Chorus, they sang Cowen's Rose lliaidenn. On the night of the school concert the Glee Club created a sensation in the mysterious Goblin Song and the lively Peeweet . This June the club will meet with the loss of many seniors. They are: Everett Condon, lldeberto Alvarez, George Leyden, George Elias, Albert VVassell and Edward Lynch, accompanist. The other members whom we confidently expect to keep up this splendid reputation are: Joseph Donahue. Samuel Nuzie, Joel Anderson, John Zemaitis, Henry Finnegan, James Bernard, and Leroy Bonnie. No other musical club has given greater enjoyment to the student body, and we sincerely trust that its history will be one long series of SUCCCSSCS. 1115132 Stuhent Qllnunril The Student Council this year has been active and progressive, and has contributed much toward the success of the undertakings of various organ- izations of the school. At the Hrst meeting, held on September 22nd, 1921, the election of officers took place. George Leyden was elected chairman, Katherine Mor- rissey secretary, and Neal Crean vice-chairman. During the first few months of school, the members gave their aid in promoting The Argus, and handled many other minor details. Gn December 13th, 1921, a meeting of the Council was called to draw up plans for Alumni Day. Mr. G'Flynn and Miss Williams ex- pressed their wishes in regard to the publicity campaign and the decorations for the celebration. The members of the Council were responsible in a large measure for the efiicient management of the publicity and decorating work for Alumni Day. The Aletheia Society generously offered to decorate the gymnasium, and their offer was gratefully accepted. On March 28th another important meeting was held, and enthusiastic plans made in preparation for the Worcester School Athletic Field Drive. Members of the Student Council were appointed on the publicity committee from this school. The Student Council has become an essential organization at Classical High, as is clearly shown by the work accomplished during the past year. Composed of a boy and girl representative from each room, it is a demo- cratic body that makes for the betterment of the entire school. The senior members of the Council this year were Sadie Ferguson from Room 4, Katherine Morrissey and George Leydon from Room 5, and Minnie Goldstein and Edward Maloney from Room 6. usic emurp Ciuntest The Music Memory Contest is another Held of activity which has recently been entered by the high schools. This contest was made possible by the members of the Rotary Club, who very kindly donated a handsome silver cup. A team must Win the cup for three successive years to have it become the permanent possession of the school which the team repre- sents. The purpose of the contest is to promote interest in and knowledge of well-known classical compositions and their composers, by high school students. Last year the team representing Classical,-Albert VVassell. lllary Flynn, Jessie Gilligan, Kathryn O'Donnell, Katharine Rafter, Elizabeth Kumin, Doris Roberts, Florence Beaulieu, Jessie Lehner, and Beatrice Beaulieu, won the cup. The victory was due to the excellent assistance of lWiss Gertrude Souther, of the faculty, who was the coach. This year Classical was represented by another victorious team: Albert XVassell, Katharine Rafter, hflary Flynn, Jessie Gilligan, Bessie Rosenbaum, Elizabeth Mahoney, Elizabeth Kumin, Beatrice Beaulieu, Jifka Popoff and Florence Beaulieu, with Everett Condon and James Bernard, as alternates. There cannot be enough said of the untiring energy and invaluable assistant of Miss Elizabeth E. Peirce, of the faculty, who was the coach for Classical, and who was greatly responsible for the victory. As we already have a strong hold on the cup, it will, with a little more effort, be an easy matter to add this cup to our growing collection of trophies. Pythagorean Qlluh This year the meetings of the Pythagorean Club were held every three weeks on Wednesday' evening in Room 8. The subjects treated although akin to mathematics were widely diverse in their subject matter. The year was opened with a lecture by Dr. Storey, former head of the Clark College Mathematical Department, on The Ancients and Their Use of the Scienceu. Since the history of mathematics, as outlined by Dr. Story, proved so interesting, several meetings were devoted to a closer study of this subject. A series of lives of famous mathematicians, and numerous brain-stimulating problems were also included in the programs. The fourth dimension was another subject that was extensively and thoroughly treated. An entire evening was devoted to the demonstration of eight or more elaborations of the Pythagorean theorem. The feature of the year was undoubtedly an illustrated astronomical lecture by Miss Harriet R. Pierce, to whom the club is greatly indebted. The year closed with a study of the history of the calendar, and a stereopticon lecture on geometrical designs. It is interesting to note that, unlike the Pythagorean clubs of the past, the present one has a large quota of juniors. This ought to assure the club of even more success in 1923 than it has experienced in the past years. During the first semester, the following officers were elected: President, Julius Norman, First Vice-President, Rudolph Danstedt, Second Vice- President, Sylvanus Smith, Secretary, lylinnie Goldstein, Treasurer, Joseph VVinch, Auditor, Eugene lVIcGillicuddy, and Chairman of the Program Committee, lkloses Fergenson. During the second semester: President, Eugene McGillicuddy, First Vice-President, Munroe Simmons, Second Vice-President, lWinnie Goldstein, Secretary, lylargaret Broderick, Auditor, Howard Tucker, and Chairman of the Program Committee, Rudolph Danstedt. The Botany Bescarrb fllluh This club, believed to be the only high-school club of its kind in New England, was organized by Mr. George D. Hearn of the faculty and Louis Smith and Henry Sohlberg of the student body, for the purpose of furthering the interest in the study of botany. lt has been approved by Principal Chester T. Porter and has received the official sanction of Supf. of Schools, Harvey S. Gruver. The members of the club consist of those only who have received a mark of B-80 or over in the study of botany. From the very first this club was a distinct success, having a large enrollment of members on its lists. Among the noted authorities who spoke before the club were Professor Preston James of the Clark School of Geography, who gave an illustrated talk on The National Parks of the United States , and Charles F. Brooks. Professor of Meteorology and Climatology at Clark who talked on The Relation of the Climate to Agriculturen. Gu May 3rd, a trolley trip was taken by members of the club to the Botanical Gardens at Harvard Universitv, where the famous collection of colored glass flowers, the only one of its kind in the world, was viewed. The oHicers of the club are: Minnie Goldstein, President, Everett Condon, Vice-President, Henry Sohlberg, Secretary, and Louis Smith, Treasurer. Much credit for the success of the club should be given to Mr. George D. Hearn of the faculty, who, by his untiring efforts and constant devotion to the welfare and progress of the club, has won a place in the hearts of all with whom he has come in contact. Glbe insure Klub Through the commendable efforts of Mr. Daniel F. G'Regan, in- structor of chemistry, Mr. David K. Arey, teacher of physics, and Rudolph T. Danstedt and George A. Dawson, of the student body, the Science Club of the Classical High School was successfully formed. The purpose of the club is to further interest in the sciences, chemistry and physics. Anyone who has achieved a mark of B-80 or over is eligible to membership in this club. The club has proven itself very popular to earnest students of science, for it allows more freedom of expression and greater opportunity for discussion than could be afforded in the classroom. Gn May 17, a trip was conducted to the Worcester Purification YVorks at Quinsigamond, where the old system, the chemical filteration beds, and the new Imhoff system were inspected. Lawrence Peterson is President of the club, Gerald Vincent Vice-Pre- ident, Louis Smith Secretary, and Rudolph T. Danstedt chairman of the program committee. .J N 2 A 3 -v, is 3 if ,. , 'E '4 ., 5 3 5 , , 3 Q5 , Y -----1? - 2 ,bay at if A. 3 3 A, :wi 1 I. s1f:m1s Lum: THINGS wAs cr:T'r1Nc SORTER MlXED.,, un, wmwzx Am: A 'l'Il0lJF-AND 'rmms Nlcm: THAN M1-:N.', 3.

John Comins Marquis de Montessin . . . lldeberto Alvarez Esmeralda , a comedy-drama in four acts by Frances Hodgson Burnett and William Gillette, was presented by the Green Room Dramatic Club on Friday evening, May 19th, to a capacity house at Tuckerman Hall. The production was a hu.ge success. lt was one of the best ever given under the excellent coaching of lklartin M. Post of the faculty, who for many years has given an infinite amount of time to the coaching of Classical's plays and who this year, besides being coach and stage director, appeared in the cast himself in an important role. The production had a professional tinge in smoothness, in freedom from self-consciousness in the love scenes, and in the naturalness of the acting. Leonard Seder, as George Drew, an ambitious and deceitful land spea- ulator played in a serious, forceful, and business-like manner. David Sullivan, as Mr. Estabrook, the impatient and persevering lover of Nora Desmond, gained the favor of everyone by his wit and nonsense. He brought much credit to his part. Martin M. Post, as Old Man Rogers, put a little of his knowledge of the drama into action by his extremely clever portrayal of a difficult role. He carried the sympathy and interest of the audience with him in playing the part of an uneducated, timid, and hen pecked old North Carolina mountaineer. The interpretation of the char- acter of Mrs. Rogers was unusually well done by Georgia Bruty. Her acting in the role of an austere, haughty, and domineering woman, who had just broken into the ranks of society, was appreciated by the audience, because she enacted her difficult part with rare talent. Rose Grace, as Esmeralda, a mild. shrinking, little girl, who was ter- rified at her mother's violent anger, and who was longing for Dave Hardy, made a remarkable impression in her emotional scenes. The patient lover of Esmeralda, a guileless, simple, and kind-hearted mountaineer, whose am bition was all bound up in the little house he had built for his sweetheart, was brilliantly portrayed by George O'Loughlin. He well merited the applause which he received. Rachel Couillard was the sweet, attractive. and sprightly Nora Desmond. Her pleasing stage appearance and her gentle and sympathetic ways made a decided hit with the audience. Betty Fay dis- played her charming personality and also her attractive costumes in thc character of Kate Desmond, Kathryn O'Donnell successfully played the 100 THE AFTERM.-1TH part of Sophie, a maid, John Comins as Jack Desmond, the Warm-hearted and ever jovial big brother of Nora and Kate, played his part to perfection, the role of the Marquis de Montessin, was played by no other personage than Ildeberto Alvarez. His Whimsical mannerisms were provocative of spon- taneous laughter from the audience. Great praise must also be given to Miss Margaret M. Walsh, of the faculty, who gave her excellent and unlimited assistance as associate stage director and mistress of properties. Much credit is also due Kenneth Higgins, the president of the Green Room Club, whose competent services as business manager helped to make the play a financial success.

This was the first of many assemblies to be held during the months of the school year. The musical programs throughout the year were very Well prepared, and everyone familiar with our Classical orchestra noted a steady improve- ment under the direction of Mr. Arthur Dann. Among those who ren- dered solos at various times were Bessie Elizabeth Mahoney, Miss Julia Gold- man, and Miss Elizabeth Kumin, who displayed excellent abilities as pianists, and lWiss Bessie Rosenbaum and Albert Wassell, who proved themselves to be excellent violinists. The Boys' and Girls' Glee Clubs also entertained on various occasions. During the week of the Music Festival, several of the artists favored us with excellent selections. The inter-class debates were held during the fall, and the senior boys and junior girls emerged the victors. All the debates were well prepared. On October 27th, the Hon. Charles G. Washburn talked to the school on the life of Theodore Roosevelt. As an intimate friend of the former presi- dent, Mr. VVashburn was well fitted to give us a true glimpse into the life of the great American. The usual Thanksgiving Day exercises were held, and appropriate readings were given by pupils. On Alumni Day we had one of the greatest celebrations of the year, and a fine program was arranged by Miss Dodge. Among the notable speakers of the year was Dr. Murlin, president of Boston University. Dr. Murlin gave a most practical and forceful address. On January 26th, by request of the pupils and members of the faculty, the speakers on the declaiming team gave their speeches before the school. They had won the inter-high school championship the previous evening. The speakers were Stanley Kunitz, Kenneth Higgins, and David Sullivan. On February 2-ith, we commemorated Washington and Lincoln with a program prepared by Miss Hunt. The special treat of the morning was the singing of llflrs. Bowker and Mrs. Leland, accompanied by Mrs. Hokenson at the piano. On April Sth, Mr. Harvey S. Gruver, superintendent of schools, spoke to the school on the drive for the Athletic Field. On April 10th, hilr. lValter S. Young, assistant superintendent, also gave an address on this subject. - The saddest and most solemn assembly was held shortly after school opened on the morning of April Zlst. Twice before we had come together to honor deceased pupils of the school, and this time we gathered to pay respect to the memory of Mr. Willizim F. Abbot, who had passed away suddenly the previous evening after forty-one years of loyal service to the Classical High School. Altogether, the assemblies in the hall were very well conducted, and it is evident these gatherings have become an important phase of school life. The QE. . 9. Qllnncert The Classical musical clubs, under the able direction of Mr. Arthur Dann, staged a concert in the Assembly Hall the evening of January 26th. Though it was our first attempt at a public concert in this school, it scored a splendid success. The difficulties naturally attendant upon changing scenes on an open stage were admirably overcome. The program ran smoothly from beginning to end. A spotlight from the gallery and an improvised footlight furnished the electrical effects, which were directed by Ildeberto Alvarez. The following program was presented: Gverture, Comique,', Keler- Bela, by the orchestra, songs, Jolly VVinter , Vincent, and Mom Rise , Czibulka, by the Girls' Glee Club, songs, At Dawning , Cadmam, and Love Sends a Little Gift of Roses , Gpenshaw, by Ildeberto Alvarez, reading, The Quiet Singer , Towne, by Miss Charlotte Revzin, selections, Andante from Symphony in C Major , Hayden, and Polish Dance , Scharwenka, by the orchestra, songs, The Goblins and Little Peeweet , Parks, by the Boys' Glee Club, violin solo, Canzonette , Friml, by Al- bert Wassell, song and dance in costume, Violets , Surdo, directed by Miss Ruth C. Drew, piano solo, Polichinelle , Rachmaninoff, by Miss Julia Gold- man, song, Good Night, Good Night Beloved , Pinsuti, by double octette and orchestra. The selections by the Boys' Glee Club were accompanied by artistic electric effects which comported well with the character of the songs. The song and dance in costume, a charming idyllic piece, was undoubtedly the feature of the evening, for it was recalled three times by the appreciative audience. For the last encore, Miss Elizabeth Mahoney and Ildeberto Alvarez repeated the song and dance alone. This entertainment was a distinct treat and many were the encomiums uttered by the departing audience. All were unanimous in praising the good work done by Mr. Dann and Miss Drew, and the earnest co-operation of the students who had taken part. This concert has established a precedent for later musical activities, which will go far toward increasing interest in music and the musical ad- vantages offered by the school. Barents' ight Gn the evening of lwarch 23rd, an informal entertainment was given in the Assembly Hall to bring our parents and teachers together. lllany parents were present. The get togetherl' evening was a novel one for Classical, but like everything attempted by our school, it was a tremendous success. The program was virtually the same as that presented at the Concert. January 26th, with the addition of a dramatic declamation, Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge , by Kenneth Higgins. After the formal program, our parents passed through the corridors making the acquaintance of our teachers. The success of this undertaking guarantees the Parents' Night as an es- tablished custom at Classical. Qlumni Bag Dur Alumni Day came December 23rd, and like the preceding one was a great success. VVe realized as never before the importance of Alumni Day as a connecting link between the past and the present days of school life. About one hundred and fifty alumni were present. The class of 1921 had, of course, the best representation. The hall was most appropriately decorated with banners of the schools and colleges to which our alumni have gone. It is doubtful if more enjoyable speakers could have been found. Some gave accounts of college life, while others related high school experiences. From the beginning of Mr. Porter's address to the last speech, the school and the alumni were kept in a happy frame of mind, often indulging in hearty bursts of laughter. We left the hall feeling that high school and college days were the happiest days of our lives. After the exercises, the other members of the alumni who had not par- ticipated in the speaking engaged in conversation with the teachers in the lower corridors. The speakers were as follows: Dr. Edward C. Rochette, President of the Alumni, Class of 1895. David Seder, Class of 1920. Paul Landry, Class of 1918. George Mason, Class of 1919. Martha Jagodnik, Class of 1921. Edward Brown, Class of 1919. Qlumni Basketball Game anh ZBanre Un the evening of December 23rd, the varsity and the alumni basketball teams met in North High gymnasium. The game that followed was a most exciting one. Until the last quarter it looked as though the varsity team would win. lt played an exceptionally fine game with Hagberg as star forward. In the last quarter Delphos scored five baskets for the alumni. Their team played a plucky game, and emerged victorious after a hard fought battle. The Hnal score was Alumni 32, Varsity 21. After the game there was dancing until eleven-thirty. The gymnasium was filled with young people. Many of the alumni who were unable to be present at the morning gathering appeared in the evening. They were welcomed by a number of the faculty. All over the gymnasium could be heard laughter and joyous remarks as friend met friend. The music added much to the enjoyment of the occasion. As the evening drew to a close, all agreed to make the next Alumni Day more successful than ever before. The lineup for the game was: CLASSICAL ALUMNI Donahue, center Delphos, center Delphos, center Daly, forward Dowd, forward Barry, forward Hagberg, forward Golembeskie, back jasper, back Aldrich, back Horgan, back Quantum' Bibs Two trucks loaded with laughing merry Classicalites left the front of the school-building on the evening of January 19th. The clear, frosty air and the excellent speed made by the usually cumbersome vehicles increased the hilarity of the sixty or more young folks, chatter and good-natured banter resounded, occasionally drowned by a solo from our incomparable Chubby Leyden. At the end of the ride was the Shrewsbury Community Club-house, a charming little villa.. We were welcomed by Everett Condon, who had worked hard in securing the hall and in making the evening pleasant for all. The cheery, little hall was filled with dancing couples. Of course, chaperones were not lackingg Miss Hunt and lVIr. Rice were there, and to all appearances were enjoying the evening as well as the younger folks. Miss Hunt, however, refused all invitations to dance. During the short inter- mission, when ice cream was served, Chubby Leyden proved to be the central attraction of the evening. Then back we went to the dance until after eleven, when we were told that coffee and doughnuts would be served. Oh! what a scramble for the Heatsln All Chubby's authoritative efforts to maintain order were in vain, the merry crowd hurried about getting wraps and rubbers on with one hand and munching doughnuts out of the other. Then came the rush for good seats on the waiting trucks. The first one, loaded, pulled out with ease. The second, however, experienced some difficulty, but eventually arrived in the city, almost too quickly. Everyone agreed that it had been a most delightful frolic. Qlllassital reign Qnbunl eu amature The purpose of the C. H. S. Girl Reserves is to promote good fellowship. The national organization, of which this is a part, has for its motto, Find and give the best in life. This year brings to a close the most successful year of the club, and with it comes the graduation of the last charter member. Each month the club conducts four different meetings,-a business meeting, an educational meeting, a service meeting, and a social meeting. The most marked service work of the club this year has been to dress dolls, to make scrap books for the children in the hospitals and day nurseries, and to give a Christmas basket, containing enough food for several days, to some poor family. The most notable social event of the year was a bazaar and dance, the proceeds of which were used to send two girls to the spring conference. The officers for 1922 were: Gertrude E. Williams, faculty adviser, Marion Spayne, President, Florence Aronson, Secretary, Gertrude Greenberg, Treasurer. bs Qletbeia burials The Aletheia socials for the year were happily begun by a Hallowe'en party. For years, socials given by this society have been successful and this one was no exception. Everyone present that evening had come with the expectation of having a good time, and no one was disappointed. The gymnasium was tastefully decorated to blend with the spirit of the occasion, and nothing was left undone by the committee in charge in order to make the evening a delightful one. Our little gym was full to overflowing with happy merry-makers. It seemed as if the news of the enjoyable evenings spent at the Aletheia socials had spread, for there were almost as many dancers from other high schools as there were from our own. Financially this was the most successful dance ever given, for ninety-nine dollars were taken in. This money cleared all debts and allowed twenty-five dollars to be given to the school scholarship fund. The second social for the year was a valentine party. lt was a private affair, the guests receiving individual invitations. The girls again displayed their unique art in decorating. There were large, bright, red hearts strung across the gymnasium. The windows were draped with red and white crepe paper, with a large red heart hanging in the center of each. One of the girls drew dainty valentines on the blackboards, appropriate to the oc- casion. Everyone was given a red and white dance card decorated with tiny hearts. The evening certainly was an enjoyable one, and the friendly homelike atmosphere of the whole affair fascinated the guests. A prettier picture could not be imagined than that made by the fluffy, light-colored dresses of the girls. The third and last social of the year was a farewell dance for the seniors. lt was, as usual, held in June. Like the former dances, it was a pronounced success. We are all indebted to the Aletheia Society for bright- ening and enlivening the many months of hard school work. Qeniur rom The Senior Prom was held at Terpsichorean Hall, Friday evening, june Znd. The floor was covered with graceful merrimakers, all of whom were enjoying themselves immensely. The music was exceptionally fine, and even Mr. Porter could not resist the temptation to dance. A number of graduates seized this opportunity to live over their former school days and exchange fond recollections with teachers and under-graduates. Refreshments were served during a brief intermission. The chaperones were: Mrs. Peter Sullivan, Miss Maud Dodge, llliss Nlargaret lValsh, Mr. lVIatthew Couming, and Mr. Chester Porter. The Prom was a success, financially as well as socially. The committee which was composed of Albert VVassell, chairman, Thomas Bowler, Anthony Fen- nelly, lflizaheth Fallon, and Sarah Ferguson, is to be commended for its efficient work. xN mf .I F '-P45 f 7 I 1 HHN 'I ,f .16 -,f THLETIC 1 F , ' 'IN 4144811 , r4- ' F 1 X 0 ll xx ' w 'I X X M 5 y N f , ax f Q N W XX X ff V Q N I .

Ida Griff hlargaret Paulukonis jfuuthall Although the team did not bring the championship to Classical, its work, all things considered, was extremely creditable. Light and inexperi- enced at the beginning of the season, it came steadily along under Mr. Cant- well's guidance until, in the North High game, it showed some of the hardest, fastest, and most concerted end runs seen in the city. Too great emphasis cannot be placed on the fact that Classical had a team, not a crowd of individuals. Unfortunately we were forced to play our hardest game first, being beaten to the tune of 39-0 by our ancient enemies on llflaple St. ' St. James' team, Haverhill, Parochial School Champs for 1921, ten dered a -12-O score the following Saturday. They were forced to employ about thirty men to accomplish this, however. Gctober Sth found Classical at Leominster, Hghting its way to a 7-7 tie in a sea of mud and a cold, icy-downpour. Any inHation of the chest or cranium was removed in the following game when South defeated us by a score of 26-0. W A 10-7 score at Webster, in favor of Webster, left the team in a fighting mood, for, as a native son remarked, That Worcester bunch could beat Bartlett seven days in the week,'in any place but Websterll' North received a taste of some hard fast football playing on Qctober 18th, but a fumble at a critical moment cost Classical the victory, the game ending in a O-O score. But the game that will never be forgotten by the warriors in blue is the one with Clinton, Uctober 22nd, On the preceding Saturday, Commerce narrowly missed a beating in a 6-6 tie. Classical, outweighted twenty-five pounds to the man, fought to exhaustion in the most stubbornly contested game of the season, the score at the whistle was 7-7, with Classical a scant ten yards from another touchdown. ln spite of the fact that Classical was heavily outweighed in every game, not one player received more than the usual number of minor injuries in the games, thanks to Mr. Cantwell, who emphasised physical fitness at all times. The school loses but two reg- ulars, Mahan and Beaudette, by graduation, and the prospects for 1922 look much more promising than they have for some time past. h tttl Iay the old school have, as one Clinton player remarked to a Worcester man the night of the game, The fightin'est team that ever struck town . BASKETBALL TEAM Zgups' Easkethau Although the Classical basketball team this year may not appear to have been successful from a viewpoint of the number of games won, nevertheless it was a team which showed the true Classical spirit at all times. The team could boast of only one veteran, Whitey Horgan , yet inexperienced as it was, it always put up a valiant fight. Each player was in the game from start to finish, and the whole team displayed an indomitable spirit. Whitey Horgan played an excellent game as a back, and was considered by many as one of the best players in the high schools. His last yearls run- ning mate, Chubby Leyden, played in only one inter-high school game, but rendered a good account of himself in that contest. The new men, Joe Donahue, and Rod Delphos as centers, Verny Hagberg and Duffy'i Dowd as forwards, and Mike Jasper as a guard, showed a fine calibre of speed and spirit throughout the season. Other players, who played on both the first and second teams, are Lloyd Hanson, Norbert Dowd, Tom Bowler, Tony Karpowich, Charlie Q'Hara, Tom Heagney, Billy Jerome, Bob LaVigne, Tom Wright, Jack Monahan and Sam Nuzie SCORES Classical ll Commerce 29 Classical 3-l Bartlett High 25 Classical 20 Gardner 21 Classical 10 Tech Seconds 22 Classical 22 North 32 9 7 'Vx JR X9 M .!? ' Y-3 Jw BASEBALL Igasehall The year 1922 was a very successful one for the baseball team, despite the fact that it had few victories to its credit. Its success is embodied in the spirit in which our boys played the game. It was fight, fight, fight, all the time. Along with this, there was an exceptional sportsmanship which our boys displayed in every game, and which made up for their defeat. We must not forget that this baseball team was welded out of ab- solutely new and inexperienced material. Coach Cantwell is building up a team for next year, and in the words of our coach, lf every regular comes out next year, we will have a team equal to that produced by any other school. In the first game of the year with St. James of Haverhill on April 22nd, our boys were whipped to the tune of 12-5. Jerome, Peterson, and Sharon, Classical's three pitchers, were given a chance to show their ability in the box. Considering their inexperience, it was a well played game. Qn April 27th followed a hard tussle with South, in which we were barely Hnosed out by a 2-0 defeat. lt was a hard and close battle from start to finish and Jerome hurled an excellent game, allowing only four hits to the enemy. On April 29th we met Pomfert, which squeezed across a lucky victory with a 6-5 score. Peterson started the game in the box, but was relieved by Sharon, who pitched a fine ball. In the Northbridge game, which fol- lowed on May 6th, our boys relaxed and allowed themselves to be beaten by a 12-9 score. Sharon again relieved Peterson for more fine work. On May 9th Jerome pitched an exceptional game, but Classical came out on the short end of a 4-3 score. On May 10th in a game played against St. Marks, Sharon's performance was almost faultless, but poor fielding allowed our opponents to escape with an 8-4 victory. However, on May 19th Classical met the Maple Street team, and after holding the short end of the score up to the ninth inning, the boys found their batting eye and scored,-1 runs to make a 5-5 tie. In the tenth inning they pulled through with a 6-5 victory. Mahoney sending Monahan in with the winning run. La Vigne's work in the infield was wonderful and Jerome pitched well. Perhaps a little elated by this victory, our boys relaxed and were beaten 7-0 by South on May 26th. They hit hard, but the ball seemed to be drawn by a magnet to the Helder's gloves. On June lst, however, our boys re- gained their former status, and by superior fielding and batting coupled with the fine performance of Jerome in the box, Classical defeated North 4-3. As the Aftermath goes to print, there are two more games to be played, one of which Coach Cantwell is positive of winning. The prospects for next year are brilliant, if only every regular of this year's team comes out next year. Classical will then have one of the best nines on the field. The class of 1922 takes this opportunity to express its appreciation to Coach Cantwell for his endeavors to put Classical first in baseball again. TRACK TEAM Track Although handicapped by the loss of ten able men because of their scholastic standing, our coach, Mr. Jack Cantwell, has made a favorable showing with the track squad. The loss of Theodore Nichol and Albert Wassell, the seniors on the squad, will be severely felt, but Mr. Cantwell hopes that he will have a good nucleus next year provided that the marks of several boys are raised. On May 20th, Theodore Nichol, Joseph Donahue, and Joseph Rochette, accompanied by Coach Cantwell, made a trip to Harvard to compete at the Harvard inter-scholastic track-meet. The Classical boys did themselves credit. Nichol won the 100-yard dash and the broad jump, while Joe Don- ahue won sixth place in the half mile race. Rochette finished well in the first race, which was won in fifty seconds. At the freshman indoor track meet at the High School of Commerce, on March Sth, our freshmen achieved a place second only to North, while in the sophomore meet on March 9th, the Classical sophomores were tied for second place with Commerce. Cn March 13th, however, our juniors de- feated junior squads from all other high schools, showing that there is promis- ing material in the school for next year. At the inter-high school meet on March 23rd, as well as in the senior meet on March 16th, Coach Cantwell was working under difficulties because of the ineligibility of several men. Those in the track squad are: Theodore Nichol, Albert Wassell, Francis Horgan, Roderick Delphos, Walter Ryan, Joseph Donahue, VVilliam Daly, David Sullivan, Samuel Silverman, and Bernard Kafferman. T LETI c, X Z ATURIN ---- M CB! 91 '91, 'Q nth Ulibe Qthletic association The new Athletic Association will fill a long standing need at Classical. The lack of a central organization to look after the welfare of athletics in general, may have had some effect upon the athletic standing of the school. Wilfred Beaudette, one of the prime movers in the founding of this council, declares that its main purpose is the fostering of a more active school spirit and the encouragement of higher standards of athletics. The personnel of the council will consist of a president, treasurer, and secretary to be chosen by the association, a faculty director and coach of the boys' athletics, a faculty director and coach of the girls, athletics, the captains and managers of the various teams, Principal Chester T. Porter, and two boys and two girls, representatives of the student body, to be chosen by the school at large from the junior, sophomore, or freshman classes. The duties of the council will be to elect managers of the different sports, to handle all correspondence, and to purchase stationary, posters, tickets, et cetera. ' , The school has already elected the student representatives for the next year. They are Kenneth Higgins, John Breen, Ruth Woolner and lVIyrtle Booth. Without doubt, when this organization begins to function, it will prove a distinct benefit in arousing in the whole student body a common in- terest in the athletic side of school life. This is bound to result in greater numbers of candidates for the various teams and a higher standard of athletic accomplishment. GIRLS' BASKETBALL TEAM Girls' Igasketliall The girls' basketball season was one of the most exciting and interesting periods of the year. Classical is proud indeed of the following members of the team: Katherine Morrissey, captain, Ruth Woolner, Myrtle Booth, Edith Anderson, Rose Ryan, with Veronica Fennelly, Helen Goicz, Ida Griff, Alice Stanton, Mildred Berquist, and Leona LeClerc, as substitutes. The first game was played with North High School, January 11th. Each girl went into the game with the feeling that she was going to win. The result was a score, 23 to 15 in favor of Classical. The team work and the spirit that the girls showed was a credit to our school. Katherine Morrissey's splendid playing was a feature of the game. Encouraged by the result, the girls played their second game, January 19th, with South High School. They were again victorious with a score of 25 to 22. The game was close, but Classical's team work won the day. January 25th, Classical played Commerce and met its Hrst defeat, the score being 16 to 9. This defeat, however, only served to rouse our girls to the determination that it was the first and would be the last defeat of the season. The second' series of games began when Classical played North, Feb- ruary 2nd. Qur girls started the second series with new vigor, and fairly carried away the game with a score of 35 to 11. February Sth, Classical defeated South the second time with the score of 20 to 15. Une of the most exciting games of the season was played on February 16th, when Classical defeated Commerce 24 to 20. Rose Ryan's skillful shooting astounded her opponents. Edith Anderson did some splendid guarding, preventing the Commerce girls from scoring more than they did. Cn February 2-I-th, before the largest crowd of the season, the game which was to decide the championship took place in Commerce High gymnasium. All the members of the Classical team went into the game confident that they would now win the 1922 championship. It was ra vigorously contested battle, as every- one knows, ending in an overwhelming victory for Classical with a score of 24 to 19. This made the Classical team the 1922 champions of the city. Every season the Gazette picks an all-star team. Up to this year such honor as has been bestowed upon our girls has not been attained by the girl players of any other school. Everyone of our girls was awarded a place either on the first or second teams. Katherine Morrissey was named center and captain. The Gazette stated that in the final game llfiiss lllorrissey rose to heights hitherto unscaled. The class of 1922 is extremely proud of Katherine, and feels. sure of her success next year at Sargent School. She is the only senior member of the team, and we know lbliss Drew will have a hard time to find another Catty . Helen Goicz, a sub who did some splendid guarding in the final game, stands an excellent chance of making the first team next year. Edie Anderson's rapid passing of the ball and Rose Ryan's keen eye for the basket showed up well during the series. Klyrtle Booth was our star guard, ably assisted by Ruth YVoolner. Last, but by no means least, we are going to give well deserved credit to our coach. Miss Drew has been with us only two years. but in that short time she has brought fame to Classical. The only way Classical can show its appreciation of her excellent work is by backing up the teams and urging them on to victory. GIRLS' HOCKEY TEAM Ilanckep The girls' field hockey team had a rather unsuccessful season this year. Although the girls did not win the championship, we have reason to be proud of them, as they played each game with snap and vigor, from start to Hnish. The members of the team who will graduate are: Catherine Mor- rissey, captain, Evelyn Kaplan, Madeline Foster, and Alice Aikens. How- ever, we are confident that the remaining members of the team will win the championship in the inter-school series next year. The following girls were on the team: Catherine Morrissey, captain, Elsie Enberg, Rose Ryan, Edith Anderson, Veronica Fennelly, Josephine Dusak, Evelyn Kaplan, Alice Aikens, Myrtle Booth, Lucy Putnam, Helen Goicz, and Ruth Woolner. The substitutes were: Mildred Berquist, Madeline Foster, and Leona LeClerc. Our first game was played against Commerce on October 17th. The score was in favor of Commerce l-O. Yet the team did some excellent play- ing, and throughout the game showed an indomitable spirit. In the second game with South on October Zlst, our girls were determined to win, as the result showed, for the score was in our favor l-0. ln this game, the girls displayed excellent training in team work, which they received from Miss Drew. The final game was played against North on October 28th. We should have won this game, but after a hard-fought battle the North High team at last succeeded in defeating us, the score being l-O. We had a better team than our final standing in the league showed, for we succeeded only in securing third place. Tree of the girls, Catherine Morrissey, Lucy Putnam, and Edith Anderson made the all-star hockey team, an honor in itself. f Tennis The girls' tennis team of Classical Hnished third in the annual inter- school games, but this standing does not give full credit to the excellent playing of the team. Although we did not win the championship, Classical had a team that well represented the school. It was composed of the following girls: Madeline Foster, captain, Ethel Edinberg, Flora Hall, and lyliriam Chase. Although two of the members of the team are to graduate, we have a good nucleus for next year and there are great hopes for the championship in the tournament. The final standing of the team was as follows: North. first gSouth, second, Classical, third, Commerce, fourth. .111 fl!! li, f f N Zn, f J ff' V fi X 1 N 5.4.4 Wx I N, QL ! -QQ sa A 9 V Z alll' 5 0 i o z Cf!
