Lack of space prevents this volume from containing a complete account of the past four years, but in so far as is possible, it is a resume of the ac- complishments and activities of the class, and of its individ- ual members. For our classmates this book should be a last- ing souvenir, a possession to be treasured in after life, so that in the years to come it may furnish to each and every member of the class pleasant and happy memories of our high school experiences.

LLOYD HANSON, President lgrwihrnfa Ahhrraa fAddress given by John J..Mullan, Jr., in the absence of President Hansonj Parents, T6CLCh,e'I'S and Classmates: The time has come when the class of 1924 must leave Classical High. Filled with youthful courage and ambition, We must go out into the World to strive for success. It seems only yesterday that we entered this school, but into these brief years many pleasant memories and experiences have been crowded. We shall miss one another as well as our class room and our social relations with the faculty. Is it expecting too much to hope that we also may be missed? This class day marks the beginning of a week at the end of which we come to life's parting ways. Our affection goes out to you, our parents, who have striven to make possible the realization of this day. Our principal and teachers, who have toiled that we might reach this goal of graduation, our gratitude in full is yours. To all our as- sembled friends, the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-four cordially extends wel- come to these, our class day exercises, for your presence aids us in making it a mem- orable occasion to our class. HELEN M. O'TOOLE Qllauaa itiatnrg I Being only Gertrude the Governess and accordingly unfamiliar with the fashionable pleasures of the elite, as Bessie will tell you, I seek diversion in the arts. The historical drama especially interests me and I have just finished a scenario for a most exciting period in American History, that between September, 1919-June, 1924. This great play of mine did not grow without assistance, and here I acknowledge the service of my Art P'rocluce1's-Simon Queen, Joseph Keblinsky. Diirectov'-Lloyd Hanson. Board of Ce9?.so'rs-Francis Horgan, John W. Murphy, Anthony J. Karpowich, and Maude A. Dodge. Critic-Elizabeth D. Fay. Eramatia lierannae Freshmen-The students we once were. Sophomores-The wise fools others thought us. Junziors-Certain members of importance. Seniors-Themselves. THE ACTION ACT I SCENE I QA certain street of a well-known city.J A more or less compact group moving in all directions toward an age worn build- ing with a strange eager light in their eyes--most strange, as We realize that they approach a school. SCENE II The scene quickly shifts to a hall not unlike the one in which we are now. A tall man gazes with fatherly concern on the group before him.. He presents them a ticket of admission. A scene not unlike a riot immediately follows, a loud ringing of a bell, and a great scattering. The group in the Hall seem to become panic stricken. Some rush this way, some that- SIX MONTHS LATER Shows the interior of a classroom, each head bent diligently over some book-Latin, Physiology or English. A scene to be remembered, for alas! it shall never be witnessed again. 20 THE AFTERMATH SCENE III First Interclass Debate. The scene opens just as the decision is being given out to the winning team. There stands Seymour Revzin, his cheeks flaming after his strenuous exercise trying to per- suade the Chairman that the judges were all wrong. SCENE IV A very pleasing scene now greets our eyes. Hanson, the younger, standing in the foreground, is very dashing with his white flannels-orange stockings, orange tie, and white sweater, very, very dashing indeed. He seems to be arguing with another older looking fellow ornamented in green and white-judging from his appearance, he must be a lordly senior. And then Hanson dashes- SCENE V A group of 1924ers in their home room, each one trying to outdo the other in talk- ing, knowing that the teacher can't give them P. M.'s or discipline cards because the clock tells them that in five minutes their school term will be ended. As the bell strikes, a scene similar to the first, but this time it is a riot. Pupils pour out of the building, as the scene fades out with not even as much as one backward glance cast toward the beloved school. ACT II SCENE I 110 weeks later? A group of boys and girls are seen walking gaily up the street previously men- tioned. After their vacation, some appear quite grown up, for most of the boys have lengthened their trousers and most of the girls have shortened their tresses considerably. SCENE II fThe interior of the Assembly Hallj Sophomore meeting in full sway under the leadership of President Hanson, Vice- President Eva Goodman, Secretary George Goss, Treasurer Roscoe Burns. Several things of unparalleled importance are being discussed, and continuing in that state as the scene fades out, for who could keep Norbert Dowd and Roy Anderson quiet even as sophomores. SCENE III A burst of light first meets our eyes, music, laughter, happy dancing pairs every- where, orange and white decorations are seen on the lights, the walls, the windows, and every possible place. The sophomores are having their prom. SCENE IV flnterior of Assembly Hallj Alumni day at Classical. All former graduates have assembled to renew old ac- quaintances. As the exercises progress different teachers approach and talk with sev- eral well-known alumni. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 21 As a certain teacher of Latin approaches a popular graduate, one of the sopho- mores turns to another and says- Gee, I have her in Latin. I bet she won't be as nice as all that to me when I come back. As the scene fades out all the alumni are seen shaking hands and talking with their former teachers. The faces of the sophomores betray surprise and astonishment. Would they ever come to this familiar conversation with the enemy!! SCENE V The scene opens just as the bell is striking one o'clock on the last day of school with the pupils making one mad dash to the door. So the second act ends. ACT III SCENE I-Again a lapse of 10 shortweeks. The scene slowly fades in showing an assembly hall where a large number of pu- pils have gathered discussing the why's and wherefore's of high school life, especially of the junior class, since these members compose the class. A blackboard is seen on the platform bearing the names of the class officers recently elected: Lloyd Hanson, Presidentg Elizabeth Mahoney, Vice-Presidentg Eva White, Seeretaryg John Mullan, Treasurer. A brief discussion ensues. Seymour Revzin gesticulating on the affirmative side, George Kangisser roaring on the negative side. The argument continues as the scene fades out, resulting in nothing-as usual. V SCENE II A Very exciting basketball game. The more exciting as we realize it is the last one and determines whether Classical shall have the title or not. Six seconds to go and Commerce manages to get several baskets, topping the score, 34-18. Fred Dowd and Tony Karpowich play an excellent game, the scene closing amidst an outburst of applause from both the Classical and Commerce rooters. SCENE III A burst of music, lights twinkling here and there, gay costumed maidens Hitting from here to there first greeted our eyes in this scene. Miss Hunt is seen in the fore- ground with a broad smile on her face, greatly pleased with the progress of the Aletheia Society. A very charming picture they all make-each one in a different costume. . SCENE IV Boys' Inter-High debate featuring. The Classical team composed of Seymour Rev- zin, Edward Bergen, Boris Dephoure, and William Niman, alternate. The decision has just been given a two to one vote against Classical. Even the non-partisans register great surprise. SCENE V A most magnificent ballroom scene. The girls expensively gowned, the young men garbed in full dress. Paul Whiteman's orchestra serving as entertainers. The most amazing thing of all is that without any exception every one of the junior class is present. A most unusual prom, the one the juniors never had. 22 THE AFTERMATH SCENE VI Juniors all gathered around the outside of the school bidding' good-bye to their schoolmates and to their teachers. Many mouths framing these words, This surely has been a very happy year. Scene fades out. ACT IV SCENE I-10 weeks break all speed records. In corridors of the same building. Lordly, aristocratic looking people are seen walking up and down said corridors, looking very condescendingly on the smaller boys and girls. Former people are seniors, new owners of the building. SCENE II I Crowds surround the bulletin board to see that Lloyd Hanson is again President, Helen O Toole, Vice-Presidentg Veronica Fennelly, Secretary, John Mullan, Treasurer. SCENE III Behold a scene never before witnessed! For there are Joe Keblinsky, Sunky Anderson, Rags Murphy and Dave Whitkind disguised as black-faced comedians! The audience seems to be both laughing and weeping. The reason for laughter is clearg the weeping is caused by the notes Whitkind almost hits. Q SCENE IV A classroom-any classroom in which Keblinsky recites. Joseph is reciting-at least he goes through the motions. The teacher's face registers surprise, wonder, pain at one and the same moment. But Keblinsky always knows. SCENE V The girl declaimers are lined up in the first row at Commerce High waiting for the decision to be given. Each face flushed with a deep crimson. Just as the decision is given-what excitement among the Classical supporters, for the Classical team, com- posed of Lena Mandell and Bessie Melnikoff, walk 05 with the cup and honorary men- tion. SCENE VI A scene in Room 5 during fourth hour. Miss Dodge is seated at the desk busily engaged, correcting German examination papers. Zis-Bang!-a piece of chalk thrown from the right hand side of the room strikes the blackboard directly behind Miss Dodge. She rises majestically, descends upon Feely seated on the left hand side of the room and marches him out to the office and conse- quently Feely--poor Feely-is presented with an admission to Room 9 every afternoon thereafter for a period of five days. So life goes. SCENE VII Reveals a marvelous spectacle, for on the screen another play is being staged. As the senior play, Fashion, a production of 1845, certainly is making a decided hit, judg- CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 23 ing from the howls of laughter that go up from the audience at Mrs. Tiffany's abime French, and at the professional way Zeke, better known as Sam Lipson, hiccoughs from an overdose of the Union Brand. SCENE VIII Showing the outside of a large white building, with automobiles lined up along the curbing before it, from which girls and young men are alighting. To the pretty gowns of the girls no attention is paid, for the boys' costumes are strange and wonderful, blue coats and white fiannel trousers, and Oh! Yes!! each trouser width measured twenty inches, according to the dictates of Dame Fashion. The scene quickly shifts to the interior of the building and ends in a whirl of dancing couples. SCENE IX A banquet scene, even such as the Romans never knew-to describe it more exactly would render an audience too hungry. I cannot be so cruel. SCENE X A picnic-but alas! the scene, the scenery, and the seen have been censored. FINIS. It is finished, a comedy of errors and much ado about something, but since al1's well that ends so, you may name it as you like it. JOHN A. TOOMEY 0112155 0Bratinn PUBLIC OFFICE AND PERSONAL FITNESS As we turn the pages of history, the story of man's struggle to wrest rights from his oppressors and to preserve the rights which he has already acquired is vividly pre- sented to our minds. This desire for rights is the motive force that has actuated countless wars and rev- olutions. It has been responsible for more carnage than any other human motive. It was the motive that prompted the Barons of England, led by Stephen Langton, the Archbishop of Canterbury, to force the tyrannous King John to sign the Magna Charta, that great document of human rights. It was the motive force that prompted Hancock, Jefferson, Franklin and their associates to sign the Declaration of Independence, the document that brought hope and confidence to the Continental army and gave them the strength and the courage to persevere until they had obtained their end, the freedom of this great country from the despotism of George the Third. Having obtained these rights at such terrible costs, it was only natural that our ancestors should do everything in their power to see that their rights should be secured to themselves and to posterity. The constitution of the United States was constructed with the main purpose of keeping the rights which the people owned in the hands of the people. This purpose was to be accomplished by having the people elect representatives from their midst to look out for their affairs. The kind of representation they were to have was supposedly directly in their power to decide. But the founders of our constitu- tion did not foresee the cheap politicians, who by their blandishments and promises were to Work their way into the heart of our great nation, and by their parasitical methods to eat away the sustenance of the country. It is just this sort of government that must be eliminated from our system before it will be able to function in the manner our fore- fathers intended it should. It is only by the cutting out of these political parasites, both root and branch, that good government can be restored in the land. Though scandals in our government in the past have been anything but scarce, the recent disclosures concerning government officials are not to be paralleled in the his- tory of our government. Freshest perhaps in our minds is the Oil Scandal, of which the enormity of the disclosures turned the whole nation aghast. Members of the president's cabinet re- signed their offices, the names of practically every government official of any great con- sequence were dragged in, and the faith which the people of the country had placed in their leaders was given a terrific jolt. 26 THE AFTERMATH Of almost as much consequence as the Oil Scandal were the recent disclosures in the Veterans' Bureau. Facts were brought to light showing that officials of the bureau were selling supplies intended for the use of wounded veterans to private corporations, and securing enormous sums of money for themselves. After these facts began to appear in print, the people at large began to awake from the state of lethargy they had been in and to really wonder just what kind of a person they should elect to represent them. These scandals will probably have more influence in awakening a desire for knowledge as to how our government should be operated than any other thing. Moral uprightness is the quality that is most to be desired in a public official. It would be absolutely foolhardy for any community to trust its interests to any person who has not established for himself an unblemished record of integrity. We must re- member that the kind of government we receive depends upon the kind of represen- tatives we elect, and that if we want the country to prosper we must elect officials who place the welfare of their constituents ahead of any selfish, personal motive. Many opportunities for taking bribes and for obtaining graft are in the hands of public of- ficials, and if they are not men of the finest moral fibre, they will surely succumb to the temptation. Ability is probably the most necessary adjunct of moral fitness, especially in these days when the duties of an official are so complex. Bills come up in Congress every day that contain subject matter so complicated that the average representative cannot, in all honesty to his constituents, come to a decision regarding them. The representa- tive of today should be thoroughly acquainted with the sciences of Political Economy, Bi- ology, Psychology and Anthropology, for with the aid that he will receive from these studies and a good measure of common sense, he can honestly form an opinion on any matter that may arise. As it is now, as one writer has aptly put it, He is a doctor treating diseases the cause of which he does not understand. Humanity is a quality that every representative ought to have. In the last decade scientists have discovered the law of inequality that runs through the lives of men and races. For instance, the Nordics, or inhabitants of Northern Europe, are of superior mentality and physique to the inhabitants of Southern Europe, therefore, cold blooded representatives are trying to pass immigration laws admitting only Nordics. Like- wise in the case of children of weak or inferior mentality. Some officials are advocat- ing schemes of segregating these in special colonies and only educating the children of superior mentality. It is in such instances as these that the humanity of the ofiicial would prompt him to use his influence and ingenuity in devising ways to care for these problems in a manner that will be fair to all concerned. I might at this point add vision to my' list of qualifications, for Without vision all the work of the public ofiicial means nothing. He must be working toward a definite CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 27 end and he must foresee as best he can what eifect laws will have on conditions that may arise in the future. The public official should have a spirit of co-operation, a willingness to go out and perform the task that needs attention. It seems to be the style now among public of- ficials to pass the buck, to leave it to the proverbial George, Every one seems to want to shift responsibility to the shoulders of some one else. It is this sort of spirit that is demoralizing our governmental system and it must be checked or it will demolish the government altogether. And in addition, the 1'epresentative should remember that he in effect represents not just his own district but the nation as a whole, and he should not sacrifice the interests of the nation to those of a single community. He should not be too easily swayed by public opinion, for as Edmund Burke, the famous Irish orator see angles of and statesman, in a speech to his constituents, said, I am to look, indeed, ions, but to such opinions as you and I must have tive years hence. I am the flash of the day. Public officials of today rely entirely too much on public opinion in decisions. While it is true that an official ought to pay attention to the constituents, however, an oflicial having Hrst hand information is able to to your opin- not to look to making their wishes of his a question that the public does not take ing then again public officials must be on their guard as to what the public opinion is. A very small minority may raise a great clamor for a certain bill while the greater mass of the people who are against the bill will not make a murmur. The ability to determine just what public opinion is .and to decide what value it has, every public ofiicial ought to possess. GEORGE KANGISSER 0112155 Igrnphrrg Prophet enters, removes hat and coat and calls for his wife. VVife-Wife-Wife. QNO responsej Prophet remarks. The wife must be at another one of those Mah Jong games. If she doesn't decide to stay home once in a while, I'll soon die of canned stuff disease. Well, I guess I'll sit down and read until she comes. Prophet seats himself and picks up a book, the title of which reads: The Lost Tribe-by George Kangisser. Dedicated to the Sigma Tau. Prophet begins to read: After being associated for four years with the class of 1924, it can be readily understood how I became interested in mummies, dummies, and so forth. Having ad- vanced far into the study of archeology, I began to make preparations for the greatest effort of my career-namely an excavating expedition in Egypt. Through this enter- prise I had high hopes of becoming famous by getting myself branded as a liar by having my name in the Bingvfille Bugle. Yes, gentle reader, that paper's reputation as the best daily prevaricator in America had been greatly enhanced within the last few years. John Mullan was now Editor-in-Chief. My companion for the trip was Robert La Vigne, the only former classmate of mine, with the exception of Mullan, whom I had seen since my graduation from Classical High School. After struggling with the seating plan of Tuckerman Hall on the night of the Senior Play, 'Bob' had now turned to easier things and was Professor of Hieroglyphics at King Tut's University. Following many weeks of hard travel, we reached the site where the old Egyptian town of Bubastis once stood and here began our excavations. After much discourag- ing work our efforts were finally rewarded when we came upon an ancient tomb. A straight facade was cut out of the rock, thus allowing a small platform at the en- trance, which led to a small door, iianked on each side by a figure representing the proprietor, and a few columns of hieroglyphics recording the titles of the deceased man. Professor La Vigne commenced to dicipher the writing, and in fifteen minutes handed me the following translation: 'Within this tomb lies the mummy of one Seymour Revzin -gentleman of wealth and leisure? Seymour Revzin! No! It couldn't be the class- mate I knew, for he was probably as far away from Egypt as I was from America at that time. But what added belief that it might in some strange way be my old friend was an autographed jacket of dirty gray chamois hanging on the wall and another proof that it might be the mummy of Seymour was the fact that even in his high school days Seymour was always wrapped up in himself. We entered the vault-room, large and beautifully decorated according to Egyp- tian custom. Upon the walls were more hieroglyphics, appearing in regular order like the chapters of a book. The remainder of this Volume is a translation of those hiero- glyphics, which we discovered to be the diary of the before-mentioned Seymour Revzin. 30 THE AFTER.MATH I am Seymour Revzin, formerly a member of the Class of 1924 at the Worcester Classical High School. The story of how I came here is both strange and miraculous. On June 20, 1927, the Class of 1924 was holding its annual convention in the Classical High School gymnasium. Almost all the members were there and President Hanson had just begun his opening address when suddenly all grew dark in the gym, followed in a few minutes by a white cloud passing over us. We felt ourselves being lifted up- up-up into space, until finally when the darkness lifted we found ourselves in the old town of Bubastis, Egypt, living in a period partly belonging to that of the times when Pharaoh ruled the land of Egypt and partly of the twentieth century. Fearful that something equally as strange may again happen I write the following diary in hopes that some knowledge of the lost Class of 1924 will be carried out of the land of bondage, out of the land of Egypt. The day after the night before. This is Tuesday, 1937, in the tenth year of the reign of Pharaoh Hanson. Today was the day of the big ball game between the Danube Blues and the Russian Reds. Business detained me and the game had already begun when I approached the field. While I was purchasing my ticket such a roar proceeded from within that, had I been in Italy, I should have concluded that Vesuvius had gone off on another spree. I rushed in to see the excitement. There behind the platter stood John Toomey, paying no heed to the arguments of the players or the endearing remarks of the fans. It might be noted that, had there not been so many fans present, the heat would have been unbearable. John's appearance reminded me of an incident of our high school days when we had an argument over the advisability of wearing white fiannels at the Prom and I had remarked that the memory of the Senior Prom would live forever. John wanted to know if the pants would, too. This was assured, for John was still wearing white flannels. As the game continued the fans began to do other things beside make remarks at the umpire. Here Pharaoh Hanson showed his great love for clean sportsmanship when he halted the game and asked them to refrain from throwing anything harder than rocks at the umpire. John Feeley caught for the Reds. John was up to his old tricks. He was so in the habit of making eye-s at the girls that he even made them at the ball. Jack was the hero of the game when he caught the Blues sliding home. The sun field was covered by Richard Stickney. Old Sol was so bright that until Stickney came, the Reds could not shine in that position. Richard, however, believed in the law of neutralization-that is, that the power of one luminary is counteracted by another, which reminds me of the words of Portia in the 'Merchant of Venice': 'So doth the greater glory dim the less.' In one part of the field was the feminine cheering section, consisting of the Misses Friedman, Glauicky, Hagopian, Holmes and Kemp. They were forced to stop at the behest of the Blue pitcher, who claimed that their noise made him see Red. LAST FRIDAY OF THE WEEK, 13TH DAY OF THE 13TH MONTH Today being Memorial Day, I went to the cemetery. While paying respects to my deceased friends, I came before a huge shrine, the inscription on which brought a fiood of tears to my eyes. In large black letters were the following words: 'Here lies the Junior Prom of the Class of 1924. Murdered April, 19233 CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 31 THE SECOND TUESDAY OF THE WEEK Today, while rummaging about in the attic of my home, I uncovered some old newspapers containing records made by former Classicalites. The following are a few extracts: Myrtle Booth and Veronica Fennelly won Olympic honors when they both made one thousand baskets in the year 1940. They were also high in the social scale because of their basket-making ability, and in that year Veronica was elected President, and Myrtle Vice-President of the Booth and Fennelly Waste-Basket Company, which did a wasteful business in the desert wastes. Ethel Edinbe1'g was renowned in 1941 as the World's Racquet Queen. This was only natural when you consider that four years at Classical made her quite familiar with rackets. ' How peculiar it is that an early start gives rise to great things. I was informed today that Sid Lurier had reached heaven. After going up in the air over his algebra and rising daily to collect the freshman room attendance, Sid took to aviation and thus established a divine record. I learned some very sad news today. Sunky Anderson, who was headed for a bril- liant career, had become a murderer. On Sept. 25, 1941, he executed all of his teachers' o1'ders. 'Tis rumored that over-study led to the deed. SHABAS, MAY 14 Perseverance conquers all. Carl Alsing had, at last, mastered mathematics. I came to this conclusion when, on calling at his home yesterday, I saw in one of his rooms a ball, a chain and a cylinder of water. These evidently were the obstacles through which Carl had broken. WEDNESDAY HERE-NIGHT TIME IN ITALY Today I discovered news of three old friends of mine, whom I had not seen for many years. I was walking dovsmtown when a large sign attracted my attention. It read: 'Who is Bubastis' prettiest girl? Tonight at Cleopatra's Hall. Judges: Witkind, O'Malley and Delphos. Their ability at selecting feminine beauty has gone far to make judges' decisions what they are today, having held down similar positions in the corridors of Classical High Schoolf PAY DAY I dined with Walter Loughlin last evening. Walter was now the premier states- man of the country. He was known as the great Law Giver, due to his remarkable efforts in having a law passed prohibiting husbands from pawning their wives' Christ- mas gifts until one month had passed. I learned from Ralph Wheeler today that a sudden oil Hood in the vicinity of the local governmental institution had made him and his friend, Corrigan, turn their at- tentions toward salesrnanship. Ralph and John were trying to sell oil cans to the 32 THE AFTERMATH senators for bailing purposes. They also said they could be used for waste baskets after they had served their first purpose. I remember how individual Betty Mahoney was in her high school days. Betty evidently carried this trait into her business, for in talking with her yesterday, I learned that she was the only woman locksmith in captivity. She said that her fre- quent contact with keys had made her choose the locksmith profession. Thomas Wright, who was distantly related by divorce to the Wright Brothers had taken the opposite course from his noted relatives and had become a deep sea diver. Tomis money was all invested in a sinking fund, the only substantial reason why he kept aiioat. This, however, was a side line, as Tom was also an elocution instructor for the Town Talk Company. Because of the many accidents which had lately occurred, I decided to take out an insurance policy and I went to see Joseph Faltanavic, who was the biggest man in Egypt for that sort of thing. Joe told me that he could use about ten good men in his business, but they were hard to get because all the good investigators had been elected to Congress. I read by today's paper that William Jasper, famous scientist, has proved that the Darwinian theory is true, for his research work shows the not surprising fact, that the class of 1924 is slowly reverting to primitive types. 'Ye Margaret System of Refrigeration. The only cool thing in Egypt,' reads the new electric sign on Main Street. 'Padula, Paulukowis and Reidy, proprietors. Get one of our cold glancesg freeze and never get o1d.' A large number of former classmates had entered the field of politics and were taking issue over the great question of the day: Should women of Bubastis continue to wear veils. Those opposed to the custom were George Goss, Loretta Rice, Helen O'Connor, Ruthie Ecker, and Edith Roberts. They maintained that the policy was un-Egyptian because it was too much like the Ku Klux Klan and that cosmetics were now cheaper. Those who favored the continuance of the policy were the Misses Mc- Keon, Morrison, Bastey, Lozoraitis and Nadler. Their sole objection was that there were enough bachelors in Bubastis without unveiling the women. TWO DAYS IN ADVANCE t'While taking my early morning promenade I observed two men leaning against a lamp-post, apparently asleep. I knew they must be policemen. On nearer view I recognized them as two former classmates, Nat Botuck and Archie Vincent. Archie informed me that his physician had advised him to take a vacation because he was growing too thin, so he joined the force, while Nat said he got his job on the written recommendation of Miss Brown, saying that Nat could sleep in any place and in any position. Next I saw Whitey Horgan and Jacob Jaffe approaching me. That certainly was a 'force ful' day. Whitey was a plain clothes man now. Whitey and Si Queen had parted company-thus the sudden change. Jake told me he had been trying to make an honest living long enough without any success, so he joined the force. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 33 THE DAWN OF TO-MORROW The Class of 1924 had brought progress to Egypt. James Bernard was the owner of a large thermometer factory on the banks of the Nile. The Bernard ther- mometer had received world fame because each one was specially tested. Jim held each thermometer up to his mouth and spoke to it, thus testing the amount of heat it could stand. 'Two B or not Two B' was the motto of the next factory I visited, 'The Beck and Boylan Court Plaster Conipanyf The proprietors were well pleased with business. In- stead of linen bindings, the mummies got stuck up and they were using adhesive tape. SAME DAY, TEN MINUTES LATER Many of the members of the Class of 1924 fulfilled the deeds that were expected of them. While taking a trip I met Bernie Carlson. I remember how talented Bernie was in his high school days. Bernie was Engineer on Locomotive 18 of the Sahara Desert Express-still at the head of things. DOGS' DAY I chanced upon James Power today. Power told me that he was a salesman for the Lewis and Fisher Fire Extinguisher Company. Jim should have been a good salesman-he always had a versatile tongue. Esther and Lil must have continued the high school acquaintance and thus became more proficient with the handling of flare-ups. Being in a hurry to get to an appointment I had made today, I called for one of the Highway Robber's cabs and who should the driver be but Billy Jerome. I was in a great hurry and the cab was going extremely slowly so I said to the driver, 'Bill, can't you go any faster than this?' 'Sure thing,' answered Bill, 'but I'm bothered with corns now and I don't feel like walkingf Mr, Rice would have given him a week of P. M.'s for that one, but I had to pay him for it. Anyway, Bill got me there just late enough to be on time. I made an inspection tour of a new oasis which was being constructed on the Bubastis-Navelle Highway. The automobiles had complained that the only thing in the form of liquid on the road was oil, and there was plenty of that. The pipes were being installed under the direction of Harry Tashamka. Even in his high school days Harry had an afiinity for pipes. Helping Harry plumb were two more Classicalites, Leonard Sweeney and George O'Loughlin. These two carried recommendations from numerous teachers at Classical who believed that their natural ability at loafing would make them valuable plumbers. I encountered 'Franny' Morse last evening. 'Franny' was working for the Adler Garment Company as a press agent for collegiate togas and sandals. Our conversation was very brief because 'Franny' was in a hurry to get away as her business was pressing. 34 THE AFTERMATH I listened to some very interesting trials at the District Court today, which was presided over by Judge Albert Aronson, who was dressed in fine legal garb and wore a white wig to cover his limitations. The first trial on the docket was the State vs. William Leahy. It seemed from the evidence that Bill had neglected to make an obeisance to Pharaoh Hanson. An officer approached and bade Bill to salaam, and be- ing a true Irishman, Bill did as directed. The evidence was all against him, yet Leahy was dismissed, due to the induence which the Bubastis Undertakers' Association brought to bear in his favor. Egypt had long been a dry country, and Bill's was the only dispensing agency in Bubastis. The second case was one which had held the attention of the public for many months. It was a breach of promise brought by Misses Crosby and Coyle against Harold Hammerstrom. The jury had among its members, Misses Deroches, Ryan, Cohen, Bunevith and Silver, and Messrs. Howell, Giblin and Boyanowski. Miss De- roches was made forewoman, and the jury settled down to work-that is to make up for sleep lost through four years of hard study at Classical. The evidence brought out the fact that Bluebeard was an. amateur compared to Hammerstrom. Harold maintained that being a poet he was not guilty of the charges, on the grounds of poetic license. The verdict of the jury was that while they believed Hammerstrom was innocent they felt that all women must hang together. Judge Aronson was quite in accord with the latter part of the statement, but was not satisfied with the verdict, so he took the law into his own hands and dismissed Harold. He contended that a man who proposed to one woman should receive a Distinguished Service Cross, while he who proposed to two was a martyr. WASH DAY I met Reggie Ellis today. He was all dressed up and looking happy. I found that Reggie's joy was due to the fact that it had rained the day before for the first time since he had come to Egypt, and as a result his wife stayed at home and sewed the buttons on his shirts. All thing's come to those who wait. DAY OF VVONDERS Jifka Popoff, I learned, after mastering several hundred languages and solving several thousand mathematical problems, and in general conquering every mental obstacle that had ever come before her, had at last been vanquished. Jifka, after many weeks of struggle had given up trying to discover why all greenhouses are painted white. I hope the shock of her failure will not have any serious effect upon her. TAG DAY Well, if I didn't bump right into my old friend, 'Bright Eyes' Epsie, this morning. If only Miss Brown could know the result of her solid geometry teaching. 'Dave' just couldn't keep away from solids and used his extensive knowledge on the dead-as the business card of his concern bore testimony, 'Concrete Tomb Co. Illbeg and Davis, Proprietors. Die now while building material is cheap. We use our heads in building CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 35 tombs.' Dave also told me that Ellis Baker had taken advantage of the training he had acquired writing for' the Classical AFTERMATH and was also with Illbeg and Lian, writing inscriptions on tomb stones. Eli, however, was looking for a new position, for his present one was too dead. With every bit of sunshine there is always a touch of sorrow. I met an old friend today. It was Edwin McCrea. Ed's two eyes were beautifully decorated, he car- ried one arm in a sling and limped badly-outside of that he was all right. Ed said, 'I came home very tired last night and sat down to rest, and my wife, who was reading the newspaper, remarked, 'Ed, dear, don't you think sheep are awful dumb animals? 'Yes, my lamb,' I replied, 'and that's all I remembeix' Louis Skeist, so I heard, had turned out to be a gambler, making his money by playing 'pull and take'-that is, he was a dentist. Louis liked the dentist game because he always took all-took out your teeth, took out your money, and took all the enjoy- ment out of life. Another of our classmates had entered the newspaper game. While perusing the journal the other night I read the following: 'Miss Eva White-Advice to the Love- lorn,' and underneath: 'Dear Miss White: I am only a poor working girl, earning fifty dollars a week, but I am extremely happy. My sweetheart, whose name is Louis Hodes, tells me that I am the first and only girl he has ever loved. Do you think he will ever forget me?. Nathalie Shreiarf ' 'My dear Nathalie,' writes Miss White, 'a man never forgets his first love unless he marries her.' I found in the same paper an article saying that Betty Fay received the Nobel prize for giving the greatest contribution to her generation. Betty had invented a double topped straw lid for the protection of bald-headed men on hot days. JUNE 36 Today was the Fireman's Bawl-in fact everybody was crying. A parade was due to pass through Egypt at 3.15, so I went down to watch the gala procession. Evelyn Robbins, with her piano, led the march. Helen Buckley and Doris Tebo, who had just finished their contract in 'Flaming Youth,' had been engaged to add color to the pro- cession. Finally came Chief Norby Dowd, mounted on a 'camelf Not strange at all that Norby should be a fireman. Even in his high school days he was fond of smoky things. Columbus is dead-Long live Allerton Cushman! Allerton, Bubastis' greatest professor, discovered that 'bankruptcy' lies just north of the Caspian Sea. This goes to prove what faithful study and obedience to teachers' orders at Classical will do for anyone. I saw Frank Shean today. Frankie had met reverses since his high school days and was now only an ordinary worker for a steam radiator concern. Frankie laid the cause of his downfall to Miss Dodge. Her practice of placing him outside of Room 5 had limited his field of action to the radiator-thus submerging the possibility of the development of higher and better talents. ' 36 THE AFTERMATH Remembering that Frankie had once been quite chummy with John Murphy, I inquired about his old friend. Frankie told me that 'Murph,' after warming a chair at Classical for four years, had turned his attention to .cooler things and was now working for the Mieltquick Ice Company. RED LETTER DAY Early this morning, I received an invitation to a banquet to be given in honor of Prime Minister Bresnahan and his cabinet at the palace that evening. For many months the Cabinet had been pondering over a question of national importance and they were expected to arrive at a decision late that afternoon as to whether it is advis- able to sell cigarettes or cigars at the lunch counters of the schools. It seems that cabinet members-Anna Kedis, Florence and Beatrice Beaulieu, favored free distribu- tion at the end of each period, while Messrs. Karpowich and Keblinsky were opposed to smoking and wished to abolish it entirely. On my way downtown for the purchase of a new suit for the banquet, I beheld Fred Dowd. I was amazed, for Fred wore a smile from ear to ear, and when I asked him how business was, the smile widened as he answered laconically, 'Dyingf I looked at Fred as if he were crazy. Then he started delivering an oration on the benefits of the Dowd System of Embalming and, as I left, I heard him mention the name of Adrian Robitaille as an example of his powers at mummifying. My next stop was at Si Queen's store, 'Smart Clothes for Smart Men'-that's why I bought at Si's. Si believed that wooden models were as good as clay ones, so he wore his own variety of garments. Si, who was standing outside, led me into the store and handed me over to the three clerks+Me1ican, Freedberg and Sheftel. These clerks could have done a good fur business in Africa. Melican convinced me by mathematics that the suit fitted meg Sheftel, he of the silver tongue ,persuaded me that the suit was black when it appeared light gray, while Freedberg kept my mind off the execution by telling me under what administration the suit was made, and the rest of its history. The coat was a bit too long so they gave it to tailor Abe Kleiman to take in. While he was working, I looked the place over. The only other bright thing about the shop, beside the neckties, was Mary Chandley, the cashier. Between the clerks, the tailor, and the cashier, Si did a good business. The first took in the public, the tailor took in the garments, and Mary took in the money. I arrived at the palace at eight o'clock and shortly after paying my respects to Pharaoh's wife, formerly Eileen Reidy, the feast began. The first course, bacon and eggs, was served. Between the first and second courses, we were entertained by Pharaoh's dancing Queens, Miriam Caplen and Etta Shreiar. In a conversation with these two masters of Terpsichorean art they informed me that they attributed all their grace and slenderness to the use of Lipson and Rosenbaum's Fat Remover, a safe and insane method of modern reduction. The second course was served. The party grew merry. Peanut butter and crackers flowed wild. This delicacy was prepared by two specially engaged Hungarian caterers, Loretta Spurr and Helen Goicz. Then came more dancers. Robert Rivers- man and Bernard Kaminski entertained with a Latin interpretive dance. I was quite a bit puzzled at first over it, but two minutes of their dancing and one minute to recall CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 37 their Latin ability settled the mystery in my mind. The speakers for the evening were Robert Jefts and David Adelstein. Robert Jefts, the Scott Fitzgerald of the 'Lost Tribe,' gave a discourse on the modern woman, while David, who was now a famous chemist, de1ive1'ed a speech on the ethics of physics, and finished by reminding us that his pharmacy was open all the evening. Egypt had jazz, for every respectable community must have its noise. The whole country of Egypt was dotted with road signs which read: 'Sarty and Woodis, Saxophone Mfrs. Blow your money into a saxophone, then pay as you blow.' I hear from reliable sources that besides making them, Les and Wayne blew their saxes with a good deal of ability. They have, after many years, at last learned to play Blue Hoosier Blues. X DON'T COUNT THIS DAY I went to the movies today and who should be sitting beside me but Jimmy Arsenault. Jim had finally taken account of himself and finds he is a Count . Count Arsenault entered into the All-Egypt Adding Machine Contest and made his count. Jim was baptized by one of the judges, who shouted, after Jim had sweated through all sorts of Trygonometric functions, 'Count him out.' In the long run Jim has accounted for something, and as Jim says, 'You've got to run like blazes or you won't count.' Marcia Feingold, advertising manager for Egyptian Straits, believes that Edi- son's Intelligence Test isn't intelligent enough, so she asks the following question to find out the mental ability of the younger generation: 'Where is the Farmer's bloc?' Of the one million fifty-three and one-half people to whom the question was put, only Miss Mary McGuiggan, a rising stenographer, answered correctly. Miss McGuiggan's answer was, 'The Farmer's bloc is situated in the same place where the old moon goes when the new moon comes in.' For this answer she was given a beautiful hand-en- graved typewriter. Because of the many recent unsolved mysteries, the Bubastis police have decided to engage two well-known international detectives, Lawrence Willoughby and Skippy Collamore, for their recent discoveries of who put the salt in the Great Salt Lake, and who killed the Dead Sea. Their first job was to try to find out who signed the Clean Scholarship Petition. These two men had in their employ Lyman H. Kilton. They maintained that Lyman, because of his marvelous track ability, could run down any- thing-especially down hill. Today's papers are hailing Miss Sally Shapiro as the Theodore Roosevelt of Egypt. Sally, with an eye for business, had imported a number of Fords which she sold to M.yer Wolff, Bernice Cummings, Stanley Kucharski, Dot Shapiro, and Vanda Kuchnicka, thus forming the first group of Rough Riders of the Wild East. CIRCUS DAY A march of events. Hokum and Bokum Circus marched through Bubastis. Wynn and Petersen, the best barkers in the country, were with the circus. They attribute their success to the use of Bull Dog Suspenders. This was their only means of support. 38 THE AFTERMATH Daniel wasn't the only one who bearded the lion's den. Ann Benjamin did the same thing daily, only she got no publicity for it. Through her acquaintanceship with Miss Dodge at old Classical High, she had many times been called upon to enter the lion's den. Another point of interest at the circus was Evelyn Lobar, the Queen of Egyp- tian Fortune-Tellers. Evelyn informed me that I should beware of a tall, short man, who was rather dark with a light complexion. Despite this sinister figure, Evelyn told me that the rest of my days were going to be happy ones. I didn't need a fortune- teller to inform me of that for I had long ago decided not to marry. The Giant woman of the circus was I-Iildegarde Sawyer. Miss Sawyer had truly risen to great heights since her high school days. Confidentially, Hilda informed me that she had originally been hired to feed the animals, but in the course of her work, had increased her height by distributing peanuts to the giraffes. A big day in Egypt! Everyone was excited. Unintelligible talk ran wild: Greek, Latin, Algebra, Geometry, and English as it is 'spoke' today. The world's champion trackman was due to break into Egypt. I waited expectantly for the hero, and much to my amazement, it was Harry Carlson of the old Classical Board of Runners. Flora Hall, because of her great angling ability, had been elected President of the Sahara Desert Fishing Association. 'Tis said that her last catch of Fish clinched the position for her. In a private interview with the reporter of the Sven, she made the statement that she used bait to catch Fish. This is truly a fish story about Flora and a Fish. I had a box at Pharaoh's favorite theatre last evening. The feature act was Lionel Strongfort Earle Lederman Nelson-self-made strong man. After demon- strating his marvelous muscle Nelson concluded his performance by lifting his as- sistant, John Lian, bodily from the fioor. I was a bit skeptical over this weight-lifting exhibition for the assistant was wearing a light-green suit. 'The constant use of Mel- len's Baby Food and Squibbs' Tooth Paste made me what I am today,' says Nelson. Sherer's broadcasted a radio distraction which we were unfortunate to get. Frances Kane, a former classmate, sang that popular song, 'My Voice Is In the High- lands, My Voice Is Not Here.' As the singing sounded, together with the static, one might call the static very good. Rachel Couillard, of Classical, gave a reading of a play. When the hero, the only person left in the play, passes away in the last act of this hair-raising tragedy, Miss Couillard moralizes on the play by saying: 'Zepp's could have saved him, but it's 'too late now.' PARENTS' NIGHT Tonight I attended a Green Room Anniversary Production-a mystery play writ- ten by Mary Waugh, 'What to Do With Used Razor Blades. ' The author handled this delicate subject in a sharp, clean-cut way. Ralph Moody, acting as Cole Gate's was exceedingly good. His impersonation of the millionaire cut-up in the Shaving Scene was superb. To cap the climax, Helen O'Toole, the heroine, was saved in the nick of time, when her horse ran wild, by Ralph Moody on his steed, Bay Rum. One might CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 30 call it a close shave. The play so moved Joseph Rochette, millionaire philanthropist, that he immediately purchased the Red Sea as a dumping place for used razor blades and solved this problem for humanity and self-shavers. Talking about plays, I received news of Joseph Dephoure. It seemed that George Arliss had attended the presentation of 'Fashionf and was well pleased by Joe's ability. In the fifth act when Joe made the famous statement, 'Let us go West, Tiffanyf and then staggered out of the room, crying, 'Which way is California? Mr. Arliss decided to help'Joe and procured for him a map of the United States. I went to hear a public speaking contest today. Marathons being the rage, George Dalin, long distance talking champion, donated a Bablong Speaking Trophy. The pre- liminaries left the contestants, three in number: Dot Kane, Nellie Rabinovitz, and Tibie Seder. Each was confident of success. They had all in former years had equal training the sixth hour in Room Four, so that competition was very keen. Dot's debating ability was of no advantage and she burst into a Hood of tears as the judges disqualified her because she couldn't strike the high notes. The judges then eliminated Nellie because she couldn't take the smile off her face, thus leaving Tibie the victor of the field. At this, Nellie joined Dot in her sorrow and the presentation of the cup had to be postponed on account of wet grounds. I, Seymour Revzin, am greatly elated at Tibie's ability at Marathon speaking, and I feel that part of her success is due to her former companion- ship with me. TOMBSDAY All the great men were dying and I wasn't feeling so well myself, so I went to see a doctor. Lil Foley was the only Doctor in Bubastis and the greatest veterinarian in the country. Lil told me that I was perfectly healthy and predicted a long life, so I imme- diately made preparations for my funeral, leaving it in the hands of Fred Dowd and the Concrete Tomb Company. I passed away on Wednesday afternoon and was buried with all the pomp and glory befitting a man such as I. I have now been in my tomb a week. Judging from the way the rocks are crumb- ling away I should say that Illbeg and Lian did use their heads in making my tomb. This is the last entry I shall ever make in my diary as my fountain pen is going dr5 and I shall soon be unable to write any more hieroglyphics. But just as sure as the gol- den sun sets each eve in the distant west so I feel that sometime, somehow the Class of 1924 will again be transported to God's country,-Worcester, Mass., U. S. A. SEYMOUR J. REVZIN. Prophet gets up, stretches himself, and says, Well, the wife isn't here yet so I think I'll go down to the Alpha for my indigestionf' Prophet takes hat and coat and departs. NORBERT X. DOWD Jing Gbraiinn THE CLASSICAL TRADITION Here we are-one hundred and fifty-one more stamped Classical. A few miles away today are other groups labelled too, but with what: a point of the compass, afar- ing forth to the ends of the earth perhaps, while our nearer neighbors bury their hopes and achievements under a trade mark. But we are Classical-standard! To our school in the city's very heart has been given the name of the ages-not an epitaph, as scof- fers would have it, but an inscription blazoned on the banner of time, laurel crowned and ivy wreathed, a motto of high arms, sound scholarship, worthy achievement. In the world that was classical moved mighty men and great deeds. Phidias, Alex- ander, Homer, Aristotle, Vergil, Caesar, the names go in scores of men who builded of their minds and heartsga conquered world, a mighty temple, a philosophic system, the greatest of epics demonstrate the mighty powers that moved a classical world and fling down an answering challenge to the critics that would make the word a tomb of time. , In an era of literature that was classical were found reverence, exactness, sound- ness strangely different from the striving for the new and bizarre and the shoddy workmanship of today. Men of the eighteenth century found their satisfaction not in things done, but in those done well. In a school that has been, that is Classical, are the same high traditions. You who have known the school intimately for four years, ask yourselves what we stand for. Non sibi sed omnibus translated day by day into the active best of each for the good of all. Sound scholarship? Yes! First place in athletics? Yes! A winning de- bating team, a brilliant drama, a splendid concert? All these, too. But most of all character that will meet the test of time and be proved standard. -n Long years ago has the school fulnlled its promise in its sons and daughters. Wealth and power have come to many as to the great publisher, Thomas Lawlor of the :dass of 1882, or to the great inventor, Atwater Kent, Samuel Winslow of 1880, and Robert Washburn of 1886, carry our political banners, Colonel Edmund Daly of 1901, of Pershing Stadium fame, and Rear Admiral Ralph Earle of 1892, Chief of the 42 THE AFTERMATH United States Ordinance, bring us military glory, to the professions Classical has given a legion of her best: Doctors Homer Gage of 1878, and Michael F. Fallon of 1887g Justices James B. Carroll of 1874, and James Hoey of 19015 Professors Coombs of 1884, and Churchill of 18855 the Rev. Allan Chalmers of 1914, and Rt. Rev. William A. Hickey of 18825 nor has she stinted the arts, for Classical claims Charles and Arthur Hackett, and Mrs. Annie Russell Marble. When we see the crowns of laurel that these, our predecessors, have heaped about Classical High School, what is there left for the Class of 1924 onythis sixteenth day of June, but to dedicate ourselves to the great cause, that in us the fair name of Classical will receive no blemish, that through us new laurels may be worn by Alma Mater? In sign and token of our pledge I plant this ivy for the Class of 1924.

RO CHETTE Amrrirzfa Ctvnernaitg ilirpaih For generations America has been a land of unlimited opportunity. This fact is often overlooked by native-born Americans, but a brief survey of the lives of two of America's foreign-born citizens will prove conclusively how much our country offers her children. Those of us whose fortune it was to be born here do not always appreciate this fact. On the other hand, citizens of other countries regard America as their great- est hope-a land of prosperity and equality. The name of more than one adopted citi- zen figures prominently in the development of our nation. Two recent events-the offer by Edward Bok of a prize for a satisfactory World Peace Plan, and the death of Charles Steinmetz, the electrical wizard, have impressed the public strongly with the fact that not all our great men are of native birth. The work of each of these men forms an outstanding example of what a naturalized citizen may do for his adopted country. A Edward Bok, born in Holland, was, at the age of six, brought to America. His father, who had lost his small fortune through unwise investments, resolved to go to a new country for a fresh start. Accordingly, Mr. Bok brought his wife and his two boys to America. He immediately placed the children in public schools where, for the first few months, both boys encountered the difficulties of a new language. Young Edward Bok started in at once to do small jobs outside school, but at the age of thirteen, he decided that he could help more by leaving school. His parents finally consented and he secured a job as a messenger boy. From this position he worked himself up to that of a stenographer, partly by his plain, clear handwriting, but largely by his own ability. As a boy, Edward Bok had for his hobby a stamp album. As he grew older, this was changed for a new hobby-that of collecting autographs and letters of famous men. In this way, he met or corresponded with many great men, including several presidents. Most of them liked the young man, a fact which counted much in his relationships in later life. From the position of stenographer Bok'rose to that of advertising manager of a magazine. Whenever a chance for advancement offered, he was willing to change em- ployers. Thus, although his friends advised against it, the young man, when it was offered him, accepted the editorship of the Ladies' Home Jozcrnal, published by Cyrus H. K. Curtis. In taking this position he subjected himself to much criticism, for never before had a man edited a woman s magazine. It was in his capacity as editor that Edward Bok accomplished his most wonderful work and more than repaid America for what she had done for him. For many years he did everything possible to educate the public along the lines of hygiene, architecture, music, and government. Bok started in his campaigns by refusing to take patent medicine advertisements. Not content with this, he warred against them until he so woke up the public that a pure food and drugs act was passed. I-Ie was no less active in his endeavor to realize a true America Beautiful, and was not afraid to lose a few 46 THE AFTERMATH hundred subscribers in order that he might benefit thousands of people. It was largely through his efforts that the natural beauty of Niagara Falls was preserved from selfish promoters of various electrical concerns. His campaign against billboards resulted in a clean up of these and other evils in more than one city. During the World War Bok turned his magazine over almost entirely to the gov- ernment, assisting in every way possible, he was among the foremost to urge the use of food substitutes in order to save the needed wheat. In his position as state chairman of the Young Men's Christian Association of Pennsylvania, he accomplished wonders in organization for the Liberty Loan Drives and in recruiting men to act as Y. M. C. A. secretaries in the war zone. In nineteen hundred-twenty Bok resigned as editor of the Ladies' Home Jozwoml. But his work for mankind did not cease. Among his many philanthropies perhaps his greatest work was the Bok Peace Plan Award, which, though it may not accomplish the desired result, is helping in the right direction-toward Wo1'ld Peace. These are only a very few of the numerous activities in which this devoted American is engaged -all directed towards the national welfare. Charles Proteus Steinmetz resembles Edward Bok in that he was a great bene- factor of mankind, but in almost every other respect these two men are quite different. Steinmetz was born of German and Polish ancestry. The lad received a good edu- cation, especially along technical lines, and was attending one of the large universities of Germany when he was forced to Hee from the country because of his Socialistic ac- tivities. He went to Austria and later to Switzerland, where he supported himself while attending a Swiss Engineering School. Chance played a g1'eat part in Steinmetz's life, especially at this point. A young American in the same school fell in love with a Swiss girl and was ordered home by his angry guardian. He impulsively ofered to divide his money with his chum, so that both might take steerage passage to America. Steinmetz accepted, and few Americans realize how much this decision has meant to them. On reaching this country, it was with difficulty that Steinmetz gained admission. To be sure, his physique was his weakest point. He was a diminutive hunchback with defective eye-sight, he had no job, could speak no English, and possessed only ten dol- lars to his name. He succeeded in getting work in a drafting room at two dollars a day, but in a remarkably short time had made a name for himself. He was placed in charge of a research laboratory and continued to advance until he became chief con- sulting engineer of the General Electric Company. He held this position until his death, a period of over thirty years. In this capacity Steinmetz obtained results which far surpassed his employers' expectations, and, more than any other man, helped to make the company what it is today. In spite of all his scientific discovery, Steinmetz never became a rich man. He was indifferent to money, and preferred to draw it from time to time for his personal expenses rather than to receive a fixed salary. Unlike Edison, Bell, and others, Steinmetz made no definite contribution to utility, such as the phonograph and telephone. He was, however, not only a prolific inventor, but also a skilled mathematician, a trained engineer, and an inspiring teacher. He had a wonderful faculty for explaining and his broad viewpoint enabled him to write CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 47 articles making complex subjects plain to his readers. His text books are authorized for study in almost every technical school in the world. Steinmetz has always appealed to the public because of the mystery and romance surrounding him. His very eccentricities also form an attraction: he stayed away from work for daysg he smoked in buildings in which the President himself did not dareg it was impossible to make' him do anything except what he himself desiredg at night he retired with a huge pitcher of black coffee, most of which he consumed during the night. One of his most admirable qualities was his love of children, whom he was ever ready to entertain in his home on Liberty Street. He took into his house the family of his first assistant and became deeply attached to them. On October 26, 1923, at the age of tifty-eight, Steinmetz died in his home in Schenectady. Accustomed to put his whole heart into a task, once he had become in- terested , he had overexerted himself on a speaking tour in the West and, having been taken sick, he died shortly afterwards. Few people, other than scientists, can realize Steinmetz's great work and what he has done for America as well as the whole world. His life, withal, is a glowing tribute to this great broad-minded country of ours which early recognized his genius, took him lovingly in her arms, and carried him steadily to the pinnacle of his fame, All too often today our twentieth century civilization lays itself open to criticism. We hear the excesses of the period, the irresponsibility of individuals, and the disregard for law and order deplored. Thoughtful people begin to wonder if America, rolling in wealth, sated with luxury, is losing the ideals of an earlier age. In the midst of these somewhat gloomy reflections, it is distinctly encouraging to consider for a moment two such characters as Edward Bok and Charles Steinmetz, two men who, though only foster-sons, gave to their adopted country gifts of inestimable worth. For untiring efort, unselfish devotion, and lofty patriotism they furnish examples of which every t1'ue American may well be proud. HAROLD C. HAMMERSTROM An Amvriran Glnntrihutinn Glnmarh thr Heats nf Eurnpr The American attitude toward post bellum problems is summed up in the four words inscribed on the tomb of General Grant. We prefer Grant's Let us have peace to Foch's The war is not ended. The British are even more eager than we to settle European affairs in such a way as to leave no open sores, no burdens of long term military responsibilities on the Continent. Those who have been wronged ought to be compensated, those who have been good ought to be rewarded, and those who have been bad ought to be punishedg but practical common sense suggests limits to com- pensations, rewards, and punishments. In London and Washington, and to a large extent in Rome, also, there has been a tendency ever since the war to place the blame for the unsettled state of affairs in the world upon France. In speeches of statesmen, in interviews with high oiTicials, in animated newspaper articles Germany has been accused of stupidity and lack of good faith in her tactics. But coupled with the complaints of Germany's conduct, hints, in- terferences, sometimes open charges have abounded that French policy is making tho settlement of every problem affecting the rehabilitation of Europe difficult, if not im- possible. Informed public opinion has gradually come to feel that swash-buckling militarism and the ambition to dominate Europe has changed habitat from Berlin to Paris. It may be true that the unsheathed sword of France has proved a stumbling block to the path of reconstruction. Could France have sheathed her sword before now? Was she wrong in asking' Germany to pay larger indemnities than she could possibly pay? America has proved that she was through her reparation commission. Charles Dawes and his associates have spent many months amid. masses of iigures and in- tricacies without end, and at last, after deluges of rumor we have the Dawes report. In substance it is Britishg in form it saves the face of France, and it represents a momentous advance towards economic peace in Europe, it seems the most considerable progress towards World settlement since the Paris Conference, which did not and could not deal with the financial questions of the time. It is, in reality, the final step 50 THE AFTERMATH in the making of World Peace. If it should be honestly accepted by the Germans, we should be at least within sight of real peace, of a final adjustment liquidating the World War. France has been bitterly accused, convicted in the general opinion of having with- stood every oifer of co-operation, advice or assistance in reparation or in any of the problems of reconstruction. The announcement that she has accepted the Dawes com- mission report and plan of reimbursement will be taken by many as a complete sur- render of her previous policies. It is undeniable that she has built up a strong military iniiuence in central Europe. French officers share command in the Czecho-Slovakian armies on the Danube. The question is, will France, now that she has accepted the report of the Dawes commission, be willing to retire her Uunsheathed sword from the central part of Europe and dissolve the iron ring she has built around Germany? Much will depend on the spirit displayed in the international parley which will follow the publication of the Dawes report. Much more depends on the result of German elections and the spirit of the next German administration. French propaganda is proverbially poor and German propaganda is notoriously good from the publicity point of view. German suffering in the war and since has created more public sympathy than French losses, until there has grown up a sort of sentimental theory that Germany rather than France needs public support, that France could long ago have reduced her army and put herself on a stay-at-home basis. Americans touring Germany in the last four summers have not failed to see the rich fields and busy industries, all indicating recovery and prosperity. They could not fail to see the desolation of France. Even the rubberneck bus tourists, making a holiday on the tragic battlefields and the silent acres of white crosses, could not ignore the desolation of France. Yet propaganda still keeps alive the fiction of starving Germany and militaristic, uncompromising France. The truth has been told often enough, but it may be told again. France is not yet, even after five years, ready to do any reckless compromising. The armistice left her with fully one-thirteenth of her richest industrial territory in ruins. The total damages in devastated France reaches the appalling sum of one hundred and two mil- liards of francs. France was even pessimistic of big 1'esults from the Dawes commission, but she has accepted its findings in the finest spirit possible, even though it does not give her CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 51 everything the French people hoped. Nobody can henceforth accuse her of being the most uncompromising nation of Europe. Dawes has not given France all that she desired, but he has done the thing which after all she most desired. He has put Germany in a position where she must pay all she possibly can or else be convicted of being the biggest international swindler that has ever pretended to be a civilized nation. That has put heart into every Frenchman, from the head of the government to the smallest land-owner. It satisfies all France since the Dawes plan leaves French troops in the Ruhr, not to control the region eco- nomically, but to paralyze Germany if she again tries her time-dishonored tactic of in- vasion. America is not in the League of Nations, but through her representative, Charles G. Dawes, she has accomplished what the political diplomats in Geneva have never suc- ceeded in doing. She has smoothed the way to a better understanding of the policy of France by oifering her justice and security. SQ QQMQ f . f :Q ED 4' 0 77 GREEN Room C H 5 QLUB DEBATING QLUB Mtgsi Sha!!!

It seems that interest in the Assembly was in- creased by a clause of the reconstructed constitution Qof which I shall speak laterj, which permits only seventy-five members in the Assembly, but allows an unlimited waiting list. V The Post Public Speaking Cup was placed in Classical for another year, though Robert Bullard of North received the individual prize. As We were eliminated in the preliminaries of the Amherst Cup Debates by North, we lost the chance to win the Cup. Our boys never worked harder for victory, and it is the general opinion that the one-sidedness of the question defeated us. The members of the declaiming team, which carried off the Post Cup for Classical, were chosen from among twenty-five contestants after two elimination contests. On the evening of December eighteenth, Professor Harold Wade of Worcester Academy, Attorney Charles Rugg, and Mr. Samuel Beeber, Assistant-Principal of South High School, had no easy time choosing the best of these speakers. However, Seymour Revzin, captaing George Kangisser, secondg with Charles Whelan and Adrian Van Leeuwen, as alternates, were chosen for the team. For the debating team, from twenty-two contestants, Mr. Howe and Mr. Brennan chose a team which worked harder than most teams are wont to. The team, after their months of toil, found it very hard to take the pill of defeat with a smile, but they did smile! This team included Seymour Revzin, captaing George Kangisser, Boris Dephoure, with Abraham Mencow and Levenson as alternates. The officers of the Debating Assembly for the first term were as follows: Seymour Revzin, presidentg George Kangisser, vice-presidentg William Niman, secretaryg Boris Dephoure, chairmang with Joseph Dephoure and Adrian Van Leeuwen, as additional members of the executive committeeg and James R. Power, chairman of the membership committee. The ofiicers of the second term Were: George Kangisser, presidentg Charles Whelan, vice-president, Nathaniel Slobin, secretary, William Niman, treasurer, Ca new ofticerjg Boris Dephoure, chairman of the executive committeeg and Joseph Dephoure, chairman of the membership committee. The new constitution was constructed on the plan of the old one, but contained radical changes for the better. This piece of Work will probably last as a memorial of the year 1923-1924. No pen or tongue can state the respect and admiration which the boys of the As- sembly feel in their hearts for their faculty advise1'. We will give in our hearts a rous- ing cheer for Perry S. Howe, the type of man who does not expect rewards in this world. Thanks are also due to Mr. Brennan and all teachers acting as judges and coaches for the Assembly, throughout the year. ALETHEIA Alethria With Helen O'Toole as president, Bertha Sigel, vice-president, Hazel Hasty, sec- retary, and Catherine McGillicudy, treasurer, the Aletheia has had capable and trust- worthy officers who have carried on the meetings with dignity, and devotion. The efficient work of the society, socially and in its regular meetings, has not been surpassed in any previous year. Lena Mandell has been the head of the program com- mittee, Mae Tumosa of the refreshment committee. 'The music committee has been under the leadership of Bessie Rosenbaum, whose passing forth with the present class leaves a vacancy which will be difficult to fill. However, new talent comes as necessity requires, and already freshmen have entered their names for next yearis activities. In fact, freshmen have been ready this year to do a good part: Hazel Belliveau and Ger- trude Chitow have given a number of speeches, and others have taken part in varied ways, so we feel that the outgoing membership will soon be made less regrettable. The activities of the year have consisted of bi-weekly meetings with programs ranging from public speaking in the form of declamation, to one-act dramatic efforts, largely for amusement. Debates also have played a very prominent part in the ac- tivities of the society. The declamation contest was entered by sixteen members. The first elimination for the four best, as determined by the judges appointed by our faculty adviser, Miss Hunt, gave us the alphabetical list, Lillian Cohen, Mae Glodas, Lena Mandell, and Helen O'Toole, with Bessie Melnikoff as fifth in the judgment of two of the three judges. Miss Crawford, Mr. Howe, and Mr. McKinley served in the first selection. The second elimination for the two best speakers, resulted in the selection of Lena Mandell and Bessie Melnikoff, with Lena Cohen and Helen O'Toole as alter- nates. Miss Williams, Mr. Arey, and Mr. Bodurtha served as judges the second time. This prepared us for a final effort with the other schools, the inter-school contest tak- ing place in the hall of Commerce High, with the Mayor Sullivan Cup as the prize. Miss Mandell gave the piece, Invective on Napoleon, by Victor Hugo, and won first place, Miss Melnikoff came in second with her recital of The Spy of Napoleon. Thus the cup was awarded to the Aletheia. A letter of appreciation was sent to EX- Mayor Sullivan by the members of the society. The social side of the meetings has been less marked this year than previously. The members have been too busy to remain for any after-session dancing, as formerly, though a few have grouped themselves before the program began for a half-hour's so- cial pleasure. Two social evenings have been held for the school. One took place on Hallowe'en, and the other in February on Saint Valentine's day. On both occasions the attendance was large, and the guests showed pleasure in our agreeable program. BOYS' DECLAIMING TEAM BOYS' DEBATING TEAM Huge' Zlntvr-ihigh Srhnnl Bvrlumaiinn Glnnteat On the night of February 28, 1924, we went to North High expecting to see Clas- sical win the second leg on the WorcesterEvening Post Cup and we were not disap- pointed. Seymour Revzin and George Kangisser, who represented Classical, made a fine showing. Classical can rest assured as to who will win the trophy if the speakers of the future are as able as these two. The speaking throughout the program was ex- cellent, but there was no doubt as to which school was the more ably represented. In the race for the individual prize, Seymour Revzin, captain, was beaten by a single point. The winner was Robert Bullard of North High. The selections rendered by our speakers were as follows: Jean Desprez, by Robert W. Service, Seymour Revzing Fort Wagner, by Anna M. Dickinson, George Kangisser. A great deal of the credit for the victory should go to Mr. Perry Howe, who spent long periods of time coaching the team. As the cup goes to the team which wins it three times, we need but one more award to have permanent possession of the trophy. Since the two members of the team graduate, all the greater opportunity comes to the lower classes in trying to live up to the standard which previous teams have set. The two alternates, Charles Whelan and Adrian Van Leeuwen, are juniors, so there will be a nucleus of speakers to work with next year. Amherst Glup Bvhatv Classical met North High in the iirst Amherst Cup debate, Thursday, March 27th, in the South High School hall. The team, composed of Seymour J. Revzin, captain, George S. Kangisser, Boris Dephou1'e, with Lincoln Levenson and Abraham Mencow as alternates, presented a wonderful debate, but lost the decision by a narrow margin. The question, Resolved: That the United States should adopt a more lenient policy toward Japanese immigration, was a very difficult one to discuss, as it was too one- sided. This statement was proven by the fact that, of the four teams debating the aiiirmative side of the question that evening, not one was victorious. Too much cannot be written in praise of the interest, the work, the time, and the attention that was put into the question by the team and by their coaches, Mr. Howe and Mr. Brennan. To lose this debate was a great disappointment to us all, as a finer team had never represented Classical than the one that debated that night. Mr. Calvin H. Andrews, principal of the High School of Commerce, presided, and Dr. Samuel B. Wood- ward, Mr. George H. Myrick, and Mr. Edward E. A. Moss acted as judges of the debate. GIRLS' DECLAIMING TEAM GIRLS' DEBATING TEAM Girlz' Zlnter-ifigh Svrhnnl Berlamatinn Qlnuteat Sixteen strong, the Aletheians entered the try-outs for the Mayor Sullivan Cup. The faculty adviser, our well-beloved Miss Hunt, secured Miss Lillian Crawford, Mr. Perry Howe, and Mr. John D. McKinley as judges, and our adviser from the men of the faculty, Mr. Arey, presided during the session. Those candidates Whose prepara- tion was complete enough to suggest a fair competition, were Helen O'Toole, Myra Killeen, Lillian Cohen, Mae Glodas, Lena Mandell, Bessie lvfelnikoff, Gladys Arick, Irene Burwich, Irene Skeist, Cecilia McNally, Matilda Carroll, Bertha Segel, Loretta Spurr and Louise Crockett. At the close of the exercise, the judges retired for consulta- tion and finally sent in Mr. McKinley with the names of the four best speakers ar- ranged alphabetically, as follows: Lillian Cohen, Mae Glodas, Lena Mandell, Bessie Melnikoff, and Helen O'Toole. The second elemination, whose judges were Miss Ger- trude Williams, Mr. Arey, and Mr. Bodurtha, issued in the choice of Lena Mandell and Bessie Melnikoff' as inter-school representatives. Helen O'Toole had dropped out of the competition because of pressing graduation duties. So excellent was the work done by all that no one envied the judges their task. The finals were decided in our favor. Miss Maudell's powerful handling of Victor Hugo's Invective on Napoleon seemed to enlist the approval of the judges at once, and held them without an effort on their part to the very end. Miss Melnikoff was second only to her teammate among the eight speakers-and the Cup was ours. Girlz' Zlnter-ifigh Srlinnl Debates This annual activity has received much interest this year, as the girls won a favor- able decision in their trials. However, the light of hope, that we should have a cham- pionship debating team, shone for only a few months, for the decision of the judges gave the final debate to Commerce. After three inter-class debates in which each of these girls on the team won dis- tinction, there was a contest held to pick the best of our female debaters. Our faculty advisers selected Miss Elizabeth Budish, captaing Miss Minnie Kaufman, and Miss Frances Mintz, with Miss Anna Anguria as alternate. -Many weeks of work on the question, Resolved: That the United States should adopt a more lenient policy toward Japanese immigration, had passed when Mr. Young assigned the negative side of the question to our girls and the affirmative to the South High team. The favorable out- come has already been mentioned. A more diligent preparation for the final debate was then begun on the question, Resolved: That the Monroe Doctrine should be abolished. The affirmative was given to Classical and the negative to Commerce. The debate took place in North High Hall on May 28th, with about two hundred Classical rooters present. We were extremely proud of our team, especially because of their splendid rebuttals. It was Mr. O'Regan's unhappy duty to announce the defeat of his own school. A split decision gave the victory to Commerce. Our faithful and tireless coaches, Miss Annie M. Henderson and Miss Anna C. Shaughnessy, dese1've unbounded praise and thanks for their efforts. May they succeed in bringing the cup to Classical in future years as they have in the past. T The following compose the staff: Uhr A1 gun The past year, the fourth in the history of The Argus, was a decided success for the publication from every standpoint. Owing to the conscientious work of the staff under the efficient leadership of John J. Mullan, Jr., and the untiring eforts of the faculty supervisers, ten excellent issues were published which met with the approval of both the student body and the faculty, and gained for the staH many compliments from people outside of the school. Among the issues were several innovations. The Directory Number, containing the names and addresses of each member of the student body and faculty, proved to be a welcome surprise to the students and invaluable to the advertisers. Another novel idea was the variety in the color of the coverg where blue had previously predominated, the covers of The Argus for the past year were alternately blue and white with an occasional red or buff cover used for variety. Conspicuous among the editions of The Argus was the Faculty Number, ably edited by Mr. McKinley. which was published in April. This was entirely the work of the faculty and included editorials, poems, essays, and short stories. The Argus was also enlarged this year. Many of the issues contained twenty- eight pages, while in the past the publication had been limited to twenty pages, with an occasional twenty-four-page edition. These enlarged issues were made possible only by the unusually capable work of the editor-in-chief, John J. Mullan, Jr. His editorials have been vigorous and clear cut, while his executive ability has enabled him to get the best kind of work from his staff. That the financial status of the paper has been good this year was due to the fine work of Robert G. La Vigne, as business manager, aided by Robert Eccles, and the careful and prudent direction of Mr. Arey. Several changes were made in' the staff during the year. Elarly in the season Adrian J. Van Leeuwen resigned as business manager, and the burden was taken up by Mr. La Vigne. Later, George Kangisser and Seymour Revzin, because of the pres- sure of other engagements, resigned their positions as joint editors of the humor de- partment, and Joel Levenson and Simon Queen ably filled their places. The excellence and popularity of The Argus for the past year has been due. in no small degree. to the work and direction of the faculty suoervisers, Mr. McKinley. Mr. Arey, and Miss Williams, and especially to the latter. for without her indefatigible efforts and capable supervision the paper could not have been so successful. Miss Williams gives most generously of time and interest to The Argus, and the faculty. the alumni. and undergraduates. especially those whose good fortune it has been to know her well through working with her on the Board, extend to her hearty thanks and ap- preciation.

Uhr Sveninr 1312111 FASHION Never has a Classical High School play been received more warmly or with more enthusiasm than Fashion, the comedy of 1845, by Anna Cora Mowatt, which was p1'e- sented on the ninth of May at Tuckerman Hall. Fashion, or Life in New York, was the play selected by Mr. Post in February, before it was announced that the Provincetown Players were to present it for two weeks in New York. These actors are still producing the drama, with no sign, even now, of their popularity waning, and there is no wonder among Worcester people who saw our production that Fashion is the fashion. The Worcester cast has decided that, although the life of an actor is very stren- uous, there are compensations in the form of joyous and humorous experiences. Bessie's dress that was too big, Joe's suit that was too tight, the Count's mustache that tickled the back of Seraphina's neck, all these things contributed to the fun. To try them out, Mr. Post arranged to have the actors give the play in Shrewsbury, and also in Rutland for the veterans, who were thoroughly amused at Mrs. Tiffany's malaproped French. Before the afternoon was over at Rutland, it was obvious that the cast was in reality trying out the comedy on the dog. For when Zeke, alias A-dolph, was doing his hiccoughing stunt, and the cork of the bottle off-stage was precipitated skyward with a loud pop , there came a violent howl from a dog in the audience. And each time Zeke hiccoughed after that, he was answered with staccato notes, without fail, from Mr. Dog. For a long time afterward, one could be almost certain of what Mr. Post was thinking when he laughed without any apparent reason for it. Much was gained at Rutland, but something was lost. Poor Mr. Snobson lost his composure of mind and his balance for rather, had them taken awayj, and all who saw, lost their own seriousness, if the least shred of it was left by that time. You were just a little too anxious, Mrs. Tiffany, for Mr. Snobson to be out of the way. My dear Mrs. Tiffany, you have a wicked 1-ight. The dramatis personae were these: Adam Trueman, a farmer from Catteraugus, Ralph Wate1'houseg Count Jolimaitre, a fashionable European importation, James Ar- seneaultg Colonel Howard, an officer of the U. S. Army, John Cummings, Mr. Tiffany, a New York merchant, who once carried a pack, Henry Butkiewiczg T. Tennyson Twinkle, a modern poet, Harold Hammerstromg Augustus Fogg, a drawing room ap- pendage, Joseph Rochetteg Snobson, a rare species of confidential clerk, Joseph De- phoureg Zeke, a colored servant, Samuel Lipsong Mrs. Tiffany, a lady who imagines her- self fashionable, Bessie Rosenbaumg Prudence, a maiden lady of a certain age, Mary Waughg Millinette, a French lady's maid, Sylvia Derochesg Gertrude, a governess, Helen 0'Tooleg Seraphina Tiffany, a belle, Betty Fayg ladies and gentlemen of the ball room, Helen Buckley, Rachel Couillard, Sylvia Goldman, Flora Hall, Royden Behmer, and George Goss. Mr. Post says that this was the best cast he ever worked with. and the cast all agrees that Mr. Post is just the best ever. What it is to know Mr. Post, to work with him, to play with him, every member of the cast realizes and appreciates and can never forget. Girlz' Zlnter-Gilman Behatrn In the first of the girls' debates the freshman team surprised everybody by winning easily over the junior team. The victors were Minnie Kaufman, captaing Anna An- guria, Doris Brodbent, and Marion Melican, alternate. The freshman girls upheld the affirmative of the following question: Resolved: That the Philippine Islands should be given their immediate independence. On November 21st, the senior team defeated the sophomores in a well-contested de- bate. The seniors upheld the affirmative of the following question: Resolved: That commercial reciprocity with Canada would be for the best interests of the United States. The senior team consisted of Nellie Rabinovitz, Thelma Seder, Dorothy Kane, captain, and Dorothy Shapiro, alternate. Their opponents were Frances Mintz, Louise Crockett, Irene Burwick, captain, and Matilda Carroll, alternate. In the last debate of the series which was held December 4th, for the first time, the freshman girls' team won the class series by a decisive victory over the senior team. The freshman team was composed of the same members who won the first contest, as was also the senior team. The question was, Resolved: That the present 3 per cent im- migration policy of the United States justifies continuance. The victors upheld the negative. The freshman girls should be given full credit for their brilliant victory, as they worked both industriously and skilfully. Bugs' Zlnter-Glleum Brhafea Great rivalry and interest was shown in the boys inter-class debates this year. The debating season was ushered in when the junior team, composed of Irving Kumin, cap- tain: Adrian Van Leeuwen, Lincoln Levenson, and Hyman Goodwin, alternate, was awarded a split decision over the freshman team, made up of Hirsh Freed, captain: Arthur Seder, Samuel Stayman, and Sidney Spiegal, alternate. The question was, Resolved: That Worcester should adopt the city manager plan of government. The victors upheld the negative. The senior-sophomore debate took place November 18th. In a well-prepared de- bate, the senior team, which consisted of Harry Sheftel, captaing George Kangisser, Seymour Revzin, and John Toomey, alternate, defeated the sophomores, Joel Levenson, captain: Lester Cramer, Abraham Mencow, and Nathaniel J. Slobin, alternate. The winners argued for the negative of the following question: Resolved: That the French were justified in their occupation of the Ruhr. The final debate took place January 7th, when the seniors were proclaimed the victors over the juniors, thus winning the school championship. The seniors were George Kangisser, John Toomey, and Seymour Revzing and the juniors, Lincoln Leven- son, O. Harvey Goodwin, and Irving Kumin. The winners upheld the negative of the question, Resolved: That bonus legislation be enacted by the next Congress. Though it was a well-prepared debate, the seniors undoubtedly surpassed their opponents, both in delivery and form of argument. President Vice-President Secretary Uhr Svtuhvnt Glnunril In making Alumni Day, Parents' Night, Music Concert, and the other numerous events the success which they have been this year, the Student Council has shown how active it is in school affairs and how successful it can be. At the first meeting, held on October 9, 1923, the election of officers took place. Sey- mour Revzin was elected president, Elizabeth F'ay, vice-president, and Elizabeth Budish, secretary. The matter of a campaign for subscriptions to the Athletic Fund was discussed. The abundance of money collected speaks well for the work of the energetic Council. On November 13, 1923, a meeting was held, at which suggestions for Parents' Night were introduced. Plans, concerning Alumni Day and the program for it, were given to a committee appointed by the president. At the meeting of December thi1'd, Miss Ryan, of the faculty, spoke about the plans for Parents' Night. It was decided that the Student Council should assume responsi- bility for this event and give it publicity. A The question of the bad condition of the lawn was the topic discussed at the meeting held March 20, 1924. The Student Council, as an organization, has more than fulhlled its purpose, that of working for the good of the school, and making successes of everything the school undertakes. The Student Council is composed of a boy and girl from each room, and therefore brings both senior and freshman, junior and sophomore, into the school ac- tivities. The athletic teams have been benefited by the Council, as well as the social organizations in their activities. Through the good work of the Council, school spirit has been stirred and enlivened. The senior members of the Council this year were Seymour Revzin and Elizabeth Fay, from Room 49 William Jerome and Eva White, from Room 5, Wilfred Comeau and Helen O'Toole, from Room 8. 1Hgihagu1'ra1n Gluh The members of the Pythagorean Club have had a thoroughly enjoyable and in- structive year. Interesting programs were prepared and given at the meetings. At the first meeting of the year, Miss Sylvia Desroches and Miss Frances Coyle gave the club clever stories based on Flat Land and Space Land. At the next assembly, Mr. Wheeler, of North High, demonst1'ated his various geometric models, which are prob- ably the best that can be found in the country. Miss Pierce, our faculty adviser, illus- trated the fourth dimension by a series of lantern slides, at the next meeting, immedi- ately following, Mr. Dalin and Mr. Melican discussed the same subject. During the succeeding month, the program consisted of illustrations of very large numbers used in astronomy, and very small numbers used in the world of atoms. This program was given by means of lantern slides. The following meetings were equally interesting, for here, recreations and number puzzles were introduced and g1'eatly enjoyed. The officers of the year 1923-24 were: President, Carl Alsingg vice-president, Lil- lian Foley, secretary, James Arsenaultg treasurer, Lester Sartyg program committee, Sylvia Desroches, chairman, Jacob Jaffe, and Joseph Rochette. The membership com- mittee consisted of Frances Coyle and Frank Mason, nominating committee, Richard Comeau, Mary Horgan, and Allerton Cushman. To Miss Pierce, who is responsible in a large measure for the enviable reputation of the club, all Pythagoreans extend hearty appreciation for her untiring interest and her participation in its activities. Elhr Erunnmira Glluh Though the meetings of the Economics Club have not been held regularly during 1923-1924, they have been interesting ones. On October 4, 1923, the officers for the en- suing year Were elected as follows: George Goss, president, William P. Leahy, vice- presidentg Ethel Edinburgh, secretary, William Jerome, treasurer. Mr. Rice accepted the position of faculty adviser, and made the meetings interest- ing as only he can. Many questions of national and international importance were discussed until we had a miniature Congress. During the last semester the club has not been so active, but Mr. Rice hopes to reorganize the club in the fall, with meetings at regular intervals. Svrirnre Glluh During the last year, the Science Club has had a very successful course, gaining much in popularity, prominence, and membership. The reason for this has been the amending of the constitution to admit persons who were taking neither chemistry nor physics. The members and the faculty advisers of the club, Mr. O'Regan and Mr. A1'ey, felt that there were many persons in the school who were interested in the work of the club, but who were prevented from becoming members because of the rigid qualifica- tions for entrance as provided in the constitution. The rapid increase in membership has proved beyond a doubt that they were correct in their inference. interesting and varied programs were presented. The club was very fortunate in se- Meetings of the club were held monthly in the physics lecture room, and many curing Mr. Bauer, of the Worcester Gas Light Company, as speaker at its last regular meeting. Mr. Bauer treated his subject, VVater Gas, in a most interesting manner. Several trips were made during the year, in and about the city, to industrial plants, including' the Norton Co., American Steel and Wire Co., and the Purification Works. The officers of the club for the past year were: John- A. Toomey, president, Robert G. La Vigne, vice-presidentg Leo Melican, secretary and treasurer. 'ifiutang iKvaeu1'rh Qlluh An outstanding member of Classical's family of club is the Botany Research Club. It was founded in 1922, largely through the efforts of Louis Smith and Henry Sohlberg. Since then it has grown much, and become a permanent addition to the extra-curricula activities of the school. Admission to the society is confined to those who have ob- tained a grade of B in the subject. The present oflicers of the club are Mildred Beck, presidentg Thelma Seder, vice- presidentg Lena Mandell, secretaryg and Annabelle Cramer, treasurer. Ethel Hur- witz, Frances Mintz, and Gertrude Foley compose the program committee, of which Miss Foley is chairman. The membership committee consists of Ruth Ecker, chair- mang Helen Palmer, and Mary Spelman. The club meets on the second and fourth Vifednesdays of each month. Among' the speakers during the past season were Mr. MlcNerney, of the United States Forestry Service, who took as his subject, The History of Forestry, Mr. Flagg, connected with the firm of Ross Brothers, told of Seeds and Seed Selection, Mr. Daggett, a former professor of Botany in a school of pharmacy, spoke upon The Use of Plants in Drug Manufacture. The club held an alumni reunion the eleventh of January. A group of forty were present. A very enjoyable program was arranged for their entertainment. Much credit for the success of the club is due to Mr. George D. Hearn, of the faculty, for his untiring efforts and constant devotion to the welfare of the club. Elie threw illnnm Glluh This year, like every other in the history of the Green Room Club, has been a com- plete success. The club has a large membership, and the meetings have been well attended. On the twenty-seventh of September a large group of happy people went to Grafton at the kind invitation of Miss Fiske. They saw Clarence presented by the young people of Grafton, and then had a real party at Miss Fiske's, with ice cream and cake and all the peanuts their pockets would hold. Miss Fiske has done much for the Green Room Club, especially at play time, when she hurried here and there, for properties and furnishings. Three interesting meetings of the club were held, when the president gave a talk on the life of Sarah Siddons, the world's most famous dramatic actress, when Miss Phillips talked on the life of Ellen Terry, the famous comedienneg and when an im- promptu cast read the first act of Seven Twenty-eight. It was then that Sam Lipson made his unofficial debut, and paved the way for his clever acting in Macbeth as Banque, in Fashion as Zeke, and for other r6les next year. Another meeting, one whose interest and charm surpassed that of the preceding ones, was held publicly in the hall. Those who have heard Mr. Post give David Garrick will never forget him. The presentation of scenes from Macbeth on Parents' Night was a great event for the Green Room Club. The cast gave wonderfully well, Scenes 3, 5, 6 and 7 of Act I, and one scene from Act II. The costumes were well chosen and very attractive. Ralph Waterhouse, as Macbeth, and Lillian Foley, as Lady Macbeth, did exceptionally good Work. One 'evening during the Christmas vacation the club had a reunion of the present members and of the cast of Community Tables, Mr. Post's play of last year. The evening was spent in dancing, card games, and music, and in hearing a side splitting farce, The Man Who Married a Dumb Wife. Mr. Waterhouse and Miss Foley again took the leading roles. fLillian could not speak-at firstj. From the middle of February until the ninth of' May, interest was centered in the annual play. With much hard work on the part of all concerned, and great help from the Misses Waite, Miss Phillips, Mr. O'Regan, and Miss Fiske, Fashion was indeed a success. This year's officers were Betty Fay, president, Rachel Couillard, vice-president, Flora Hall, secretary, and Daniel Slobin, treasurer. Three of these are seniors, and they turn over their duties to next year's oflicers wishing them the success they are sure to have.

Their efforts are not at all the sort one might expect from an aggregation of purely amateur talent. On the contrary these concerts coming at frequent intervals were more than appreciated by the entire school. Not only have we received the benefits of well- rendered music, but also, we have made the acquaintance of many of the great com- posers. The usual plan was to give a brief, but very clear, synopsis of the story con- nected with the opera, or other work. The life of the composer was also given at times. Thus it was possible for everyone, even those most ignorant of opera, to follow the music as it tells of the loves and hates of humanity. Too much credit cannot be given to Mr. Dann for the success of the orchestra. Most of the members of the class of 192.4 can recall the time when the orchestra was an organization new to our school life. Needless to say, we were neither enthusiastic over the possibility of being required to listen to it, nor very optimistic in regard to its chances of being a success. But now, only four years later, we are eager to pay 'to hear them, and certainly never begrudge the fourth periods spent in the Hall when they are entertaining. Mr. Dann has put in many hours of hard work to get these de- sirable results. Never a week goes by, but there are rehearsals in the afternoon, which is one reason why the P. M. sessions are not as unpopular as formerly. Excellent as is Orchestra A, it does not account for all the material available. To insure substitutes to take the places of those who graduate, Mr. Dann has also or- ganized an orchestra which he calls Orchestra B. It might be called the Freshman Orchestra except for the fact that it contains a few upper classmen who are not as adept as those who have gained one of the coveted places in the regular orchestra. Orchestra B has surprised us not a few times with the excellence of its performances. The orchestra contains several students capable of giving solos. Miss Rosenbaum has entertained with difiicult classical numbers. In addition, there is a fine string quartet whose performances have been a delight to the student body. George Dalin and Elizabeth Mahoney have helped to lend variety to many programs with their finished piano selections. In conjunction with the orchestra, Mr. Dann often has introduced an appropriate vocal selection. The personnel of Orchestra A is: First Violins Bessie Rosenbaum, David Goldman Michael Abelsky Secoozcl Violins C. M.

Dann, Director CEg0llnf Qlluh The G Clef Club was never more successful than it has been this year. Under the skilful direction of Mr. Dann, the members have prepared many enjoyable programs for the entertainment of the school. This club has appeared in the hall during fourth hours, and played a large part in the Parents' Night program. At the annual concert on January thirty-first, the Indian Operetta, Mon Dah-Min, by Bliss, was presented in costume, and enthusiastically received by the audience. Some very fine voices have been discovered in this club. The first sopranos were the following girls: Matilda Carroll, Helena Endzelis, Flora Fergenson, Catherine Foley, Mary Greany, Flora Hall, Gertrude Healy, Cecelia McNally, Martha Morgan, Marguerita Padula, Helen Palmer, Margaret Paulukonis, Helen Sniderman, and Doris Tebo. Estelle Caron, Louise Crockett, Rosamond Dowd, Mary Finnegan, Helen Fried- man, Hannah Goldberg, Edna Griff, Dorothy Kane, Margaret Lawlor, Ruth Leavitt, Helen Smith, and Mae Tumosa comprised the second sopranosg and the alto part was carried by Sylvia Berman, Irene Berwick, Lena Germain, Edna Greeko, Bessie Mel- nikoi, Lillian Monsey, Evelyn Robbins, Irene Skiest, and Doris Waxler. The ac- companists were Ruth Sauter and Helen Sniderman. Bessie Rosenbaum acted as vio- linist, and has shown great talent as well as generosity. In February the members voted to join the Boys' Glee Club with the purpose of studying an opera for mixed voices. Since that time the two clubs have been studying the opera Martha. flings' C5122 Qlluh The Boys' Glee Club, under the leadership of Mr. Arthur J. Dann, enjoyed one of the most successful years of its whole career. The club now contains thirty-two mem- bers, exclusive of the accompanist, Flora Fergunson. The senior members of the club are James Bernard, Abraham Kleiman, Adrian Robitaille, and George Dalin. The club has assisted at different times in the assembly, delighting everybody with its music. It had a prominent part in the Parents' Night program on December 5th, presenting two beautiful numbers to the complete satisfaction of the audience. At the concert given by all the musical clubs held in January, it presented a pleasing operetta, Uncle Sam's Boys in Camp, which was well received. After the concert the boys voted to join with the G Clef Club in studying an opera for a mixed chorus, and as a result, the two clubs studied Martha, by Flotow. In recognition of the real success of this organization, Mr. Dann should be com- he boys feel there is mended for his unbounded interest in the club. With Mr. Dann t a fine good fellowship and at the same time they have the greatest admiration for his knowledge of music and for his teaching which has given happiness to many. Let us hope that the club will continue to rise to greater heights of success. flllluair illllrmnrg Qlnntrai As usual the Music Memory Contest was close. Unfortunately Classical failed to come out first and repeat past successes. The team was an excellent one and, thanks to Miss Peirce, was well prepared. How many hours were spent in preparation for the contest, only those who took part can tell. The team was composed of the following: Florence Beaulieu, Bessie Rosenbaum, David Goldman, Bernard Kaffman, Irene Skeist, Florence Mintz, Lena Mandell, Lillian Mandell, Lillian Cohen, Jifka Popoff, and Gladys Arick. Freda Grossman and Ruth Sauter were alternates. Miss Beaulieu upheld her established reputation as a winner by capturing first place for the fourth time. Her rank in all four contests has been one hundred per cent, which is truly a remarkable record. As a reward for her success she received a hand- some gold medal, which Mr. Rice had offered. Bernard Kaffeman, who was a close sec- ond, received a silver medal, and France-s Mintz, who was third, was presented a bronze medal as a reward for her efforts. Thus far Classical has achieved notable success in these annual contests, largely through the efforts of Miss Peirce, who has given unlimited time and effort in order that the teams may reach the highest degree of perfection. Classical has two and a half legs on the cup, and despite the ill luck of this year, should soon have it entirely in her possession. ltiihzlrtl Qlluh Under the able leadership of Miss Peirce, the Kithara Club was organized for the purpose of studying the history and the appreciation of music. This work has been aided very greatly by the playing of selections from many of the most famous com- posers. Much time has been devoted to the study of operas such as Aida, by Verdig Carmen, by Bizetg La Boheme, by Puccinig Martha, by Flotowg Tanhauser, by Wagner, and Samson and Delila, by Saint-Saens. With the occasional aid of world- famous artists through the use of the Victrola, the club has made studies in the in- terpretation of these masterpieces. Compositions of Grieg, Thomas, Liszt, Tschaikow- sky, Beethoven, Wagner, and others, both classic and modern, have been presented. This year has shown a marked improvement over the last in the character of the pro- grams, and the club is pleased, too, with the increase in the number of members, with the healthy financial status, and very justly, with the fine spirit of co-operation. The members have shown real ability by preparing interesting programs of solos and concerted numbers, both vocal and instrumental. Every member has had repre- sentation in this work, and all have shown talent. The warmest appreciation is due Miss Peirce, for it is through her love of music and of Classical High School that the club owes not only its success, but its very existence. One feature of the club's work is the preparation for the Music Memory Contest, Miss Peirce spent many afternoons at school doing far more than simply drilling the participants for the competition. I The oliicers of the year 1923-24 are: President, Bernard Kaifemang vice-president, Elizabeth Mahoney, secretary, Lena Mandellg chairman of program committee, Bessie Rosenbaum, and treasurer, David Goldman. Wx lgarrnta' Night Parents' Night, December 5th, was a great success. In spite of the bad weather, many parents and teachers were present to enjoy the well-balanced and entertaining program that had been prepared. The gymnastic exercises by the boys of the freshman class would have done credit to West Point cadets. A wand and dumb-bell drill by the girls won hearty applause also. The orchestra and glee clubs contributed much to the success of the evening. The weird scenes from Macbeth, given by members of the Green Room Club, and coached by Mr. Post, will long be remembered. The selection of Miss Lillian Foley and Ralph Waterhouse for the parts of Lady Macbeth and Macbeth was most fortunate. Joseph Rochette, as the porter, provoked much laughter. Revzin roused the castle in a most stirring fashiong the shrill weird voices of the witches added much in producing the desired effect. At the close of the program our parents passed to the lower corridors, where they stopped to talk a few minutes with our teachers. The evening was a very enjoyable and profitable one to both teachers and parents. Svvniur igrnm On the evening of May 29th, the annual Senior Prom took place at Hildreth Hall. It was indeed a joyous crowd that glided over the iioor. Everybody seemed in a mood for merry-making, for happy voices could be heard, and radiant countenances seen on all sides. The girls arrayed in their most charming linery, and the boys in their white fiannels presented a bright and fascinating scene. All the guests thoroughly enjoyed the music which was furnished by the Arcadians. Many a member of the faculty also participated in the fun with an ardor quite befitting the occasion. Much credit should be given to the committee in charge of the prom for their ef- forts in making the event a memorable success. Thef committee consisted of Seymour Revzin, Eva White, Flora Hall, William Leahy, and YVilliam Jasper. Alumni Bag As has been the custom for some time, Alumni Day was celebrated Friday, Decem- ber 21st, in the school hall. The event was a great success from every point of view. A great number of graduates were present, in spite of the fact that many colleges were still in session. The Assembly Hall was festively adorned with appropriate Christmas decorations, and presented a gay appearance that accorded well with the general feeling of joy. The speakers were well-known graduates, the first, Wilfred Feiga, '12, delivered an address, both stirring and humorous. He was followed by a recent g1'aduate, Kenneth P. Higgins, '23, who made a short, snappy speech. Neil Leonard, '17, came next, with a few words that brought back fond memories to the graduates. His beautiful tribute to Miss Jefts was especially touching. ' A wand and dumb-bell drill was then given by the freshman girls under the su- pervision of Miss Drew. The boys also went through gymnastic exercises under the leadership of Mr. Cantwell. Music was furnished by the school orchestra conducted by Mr. Dann. The musical part of the program was very enjoyable, especially the Christmas carols, which were sung in the corridors by the members of the Glee Club. After the exercises, teachers and graduates adjourned to the lower hall, where old friendships were renewed. A happy time followed. Classical's sons and daughte1's left with a deeper feeling of respect and affection for their Alma Mater. Alumni 'ifaaketlmll Mums ani! Eanrv On the evening of December 21st, a basketball game was played between a quintet composed of former Classical stars and the Classical varsity five at the High School of Commerce gymnasium. It was a hotly contested game from beginning to end. In the first quarter, the Alumni startled the spectators with their dazzling game, but the Varsity, displaying a wonderful style of passing and shooting, soon surpassed the Alumni and kept ahead during the remainder of the game. The bright light for the Alumni was Whitey Bernot, now a professional basketball player, who won much ap- plause with his spectacular shots. Duffy Hanson made ten baskets for the Varsity. At the conclusion of the game, dancing was enjoyed for the rest of the evening. Many an old graduate trod the light fantastic and became young again. Refreshments were served during the dance and a general feeling of goodwill prevailed among the graduates as they bade their friends good night. H The lineup for the game was as follows: VARSITY-47 2g-AL.UMN1 Delphos R. B. Niman Hvrean L. B. Egan Jerome C. Bernot Hanson R. F. Aldrich F. Dowd L. F. Nicols Flhe GI. M. Sv. Glnnrert The Classical musical clubs, under the direction of Mr. Dann, gave a concert in the Assembly Hall the evening of January 31st. As usual with Mr. Dann's affairs, the concert was a decided success. The two orchestras, A and B, furnished the music for the evening. Both did excellent work. The music was well chosen, and the manner of its presentation showed the long hours of preparation on the part of the performers and the conductor. The program was quite varied, i'The Sun Worship Dance serving to enliven the evening. Miss Dorothy Kane's vocal solo, and also Miss Elizabeth Ma- honey's piano selection were much appreciated by the audience. The Girls' Glee Club gave Miss Kane good support. An excellent musical sketch was presented by the Boys' Glee Club. The stage settings and costumes were interesting and appropriate. The program was as follows: March, The United Liberty, Losey, Overture, Poet and Peasant, Suppe, by Orchestra B, Overture, Cymbeline, Gruenwald, Suite, Ballet Egyptian, Suiguine, Allegro non troppo, Andante Sostemnto, Alle- grettoj' Andante Expressive, by Orchestra A, Indian Melody, Loomis, with Sun Worship Dance, Cantata mon-dah-nim, fAmerican Indian Legendl, Bliss, by the G Clef Club, with Dorothy Kane, soloist, Piano Solo, Tarantelle, ffrom Venice and Napolij, Liszt, by Elizabeth Mahoney, Musical Sketch, Uncle Sam's Boys in Camp, Bruse, by the Boys' Glee Club. At this concert Orchestra B made its first bow to the public. It is composed almost entirely of freshmen. It was a great Wonder to every one that Mr. Dann could find enough material in the school to form a second orchestra, and so quickly prepare it for public appearance. Mr. Dann succeeds, however, in finding what he wants. With a second orchestra like B ready to support A at any time, we look forward con- fidently to many musical treats in the future. Uhr Senior Idirnir . On June 12th, the Senior Picnic was held at Lake Chauncey in Westboro. A great many were present and all enjoyed themselves very much. The picnickers took rt ' pa 1n all sorts of activities and amusements. To the music of a pick-up orchestra some enjoyed dancing, others went swimming and boating. There were none present l . Wio were idle for a moment. The chaperons were: Miss Margaret Walsh, Mr. Allan Rice, and Mr. Robert Bodurtha. The committee, which was composed of Robert La Vigne, chairman, William Jerome, George Dalin, Eva White and Bessie Rosenbaum, is to be co d d f 1 t mmen e for the successful event. Uhr Srninr Quinn On the evening of February 21st, in the North High School Hall, the senior class presented the first minstrel show ever produced at Classical, under the auspicious title of the Classical Senior Revue. The Revue was an immense success from every viewpoint, and received favorable comment from the faculty, students, and parents. Credit for the presentation goes to Simon Queen, who conceived the idea, convinced the class that a minstrel show was desirable, and then supervised it. The members of the cast were elaborately costumed. The entire show was given without a Haw, reflecting credit on the coaches, John and James Coyle, as well as on the cast. The cast consisted of twenty-five principals and a chorus of thirty voices, fifteen male and fifteen female. Those having leading parts were: Dorothy M. Kane, Helen Buckley, Mary Chandley, George Dalin, David Witkind, Edna Greeko, Norbert Dowd, Roy Anderson, Elizabeth Mahoney, Veronica Fennelly, James McEvoy, John Murphy, Lillian Monsey, David Espie, Samuel Lipson, James Bernard, George Goss, Ha1'ry Levitsky, Lester H. Sarty, Wayne W. Woodis, Lillian Foley, Mae Glodas, and Joseph Keblinsky. The seniors who formed the committee in charge of the Revue were: Simon Queen, chairman, Eva White, Betty Mahoney, Mary Chandley, Flora Hall, John A. Toomey, and James R. Arseneault. I Ellie Svvninr Ezmre On November 5th, at a meeting of the senior class it was decided that there should be a fall dance. In addition to a good time, it was hoped that the class might be able to add a few more figures to its bank account. President Hanson appointed the follow- ing committee: Elizabeth Fay, chairmang Veronica Fennelly, Helen U'Toole, Robert La Vigne, John Mullan, Jr., and George Kangisser. The committee found it necessary to make preparations immediately, as the date set for the dance was the twenty-third of November. The evening brought many more guests than were expected. It was a jolly, but well-behaved party that gathered in the school gymnasium. The music, furnished by the New Colonial Orchestra, put every one in a happy frame of mind. The committee was so efiicient that there was only one serving of ice cream left. From a social as well as a financial point of view, the dance was a great success. The patrons and patronesses were: Mr. Porter, Miss Fiske, Miss Williams, Miss Walsh, Miss Powers, Miss Shaughnessy, Mr. and Mrs. Howland, Mr. and Mrs. Arey, Mr. and Mrs. Bodurtha, Mr. and Mrs. Mc-Kinley, Mr. and Mrs. Howe, Mr. Brennan, and Mr. Couming. .- DTH LQTIQQ Bm ll W www T i X illunthall Classical's football team of 1923 will long be remembered by the faculty, students, and football fans in general. Although the team lost the first and last games of the season, Coach Cantwell guided it safely over such obstacles as the inter-high series presented, and brought the coveted championship to Classical. On September 29th, Classical journeyed to Southboro to meet the heavy St. Mark's team. Many substitutes were used in this game, owing to the inability of some regulars to qualify in their studies. When the final whistle blew, Classical was on the wrong side of a 17-0 score. By taking the Tech freshmen into camp, Classical put a game on the winning side of its column. The blue and white outweighed and outgeneraled the freshmen, and scored at will. When the dust of battle had blown away, the team had piled up a 41-6 score. Another victory was added to our list, October 13th. Classical traveled to Gardner and defeated the Chair City boys 13-0. The team opened its bag of trick plays and kept Gardner guessing what was coming next. The first game of the inter-high series was won by Classical when the team ten- dered South a 19-0 score. The team did not find itself until the second quarter, when the blue and white showed a neat offensive and planted the pigskin twice. In the last quarter, another touchdown was scored. Our ancient enemies from Maple Street held us to an 0-0 tie on October 23rd. Classical continually had the ball in Commerce's territory, and on one occasion had but six inches to cover in order to score. Owing to the blue and gold's defensive ability, the ball could not be put over. Classical secured the championship by giving North a 7-0 defeat. The team jumped into the lead in the second quarter and held it throughout the game by dis- playing some brilliant football playing. North tried to even things up in the last quarter, but the team wanted this game, as the championship went with it. The fast Middlesex Clan fought the blue and white to a 12-12 tie, November 3rd. The team showed the same indomitable spirit in this game as in others, but it met with a bit of hard luck. A fumble on Classical's five-yard line proved disastrous and We had to be content with a tie. ' In the last game of the season, the St. John aggregation of Haverhill carried away a 34-0 score. Scholastic difficulties and injuries handicapped our team at this time. The defeat was not a stain on our record as St. John teams are noted for their ability to play football in championship form. The 1923 schedule was one of the hardest in years, and we are proud of Coach Cantwell and the team for going through it so successfully. Mugs' Basketball Classical won another championship when it romped through the inter-high bas- ketball series undefeated. Although the .team lost three games during the entire season, the defeats did not injure the reputation of the blue and white hoopsters as in each case the losses were suifered in out-of-town games against formidable foes. The season was opened in a successful manner when the team defeated Tech Seconds by a score of 21-11. Another victory was added a few days later when Clas- sical overpowered the Alumni 47-28. Classical suffered its first defeat of the season when it lost to Gardner, in Gardner, by a score of 35-81. It was a very close game from start to finish and a hard one for Classical to lose. North was defeated 30-26 in the next game. This was the first game of the inter- high series, and Classical had to fight hard to win. At the end of the first half, North was leading 17-7, but the last half told a different story. The blue and white found its eye and scored enough points before the final whistle blew to net them the victory. Clark Seconds was the next team to be defeated by Classical. Fine team-work was displayed by both sides, but Classical emerged the victor 18-14. In the second out-of- town game, Classical succumbed to Woonsocket 36-2.2. The game was fast and interest- ing, but the tedious journey had a disastrous effect on the team and asecond set-back was received. Commerce was smothered in the second inter-high game. The blue and gold proved no match for Classical, and the game ended with Classical on the heavy side of a 45-24 score. The team defeated South 35-20 in its third inter-high game. The first half was closely fought, but as usual, Classical came through in the last half and won easily. In the second encounter with North, Classical won its fourth inter-high game. Had North been successful when shooting free-tries, the game would have been hers. She missed the hoop as Classical did not, hence a 21-19 defeat was infiicted upon North. The inter-high championship was clinched by Classical when it defeated Com- merce 25-24. Commerce was a greatly strengthened team at this time, and a hard- fought contest was the result. Northbridge was easily defeated 17-11 in a game that featured slow and listless playing on the part of both teams. Oxford did not give much opposition and Classical won another game by a score of 25-20. In the last inter-high game, which was also the last one of the season, Classical defeated South 36-17. By defeating South, Classical went through the inter-high series unconquered. The most noticeable trait of this year's team was its splendid fighting spirit and sportsmanship. The team as a whole was a fine array of eagle-eyed veterans and rookies who worked together in complete harmony. The team-work was an especially big factor in the success of the blue and white, Coach Cantwell being largelywre- sponsible for this. BASEBALL TEAM Eawrhall At this writing, Classical's chances of repeating last year's success look bright. Although the team has lost the first two inter-high games, the outlook for the re- maining ones appears promising, as many ineligible veterans will return to the fold before the next inter-high game is played. During the absence of the veterans, the rookies are indeed showing promise. With a pitching staf that consists of two fresh- men, and an outfield and infield patched with the same, the team is doing remarkably well, and we are quite confident that in a year or so these freshmen will bring cham- pionships to Classical. On April 30th, Classical played its opening baseball game of the season with the fast Assumption College nine. Assumption led from the first in a game that featured some heavy hitting, but Classical aroused fear in the college nine by scoring ten runs in the seventh inning. This rally fell two runs short of tying the score, and Assumption won 20-18. Classical took the measure of the Trade School nine on May 2nd, in a game that lasted for ten innings. Trade presented a ragged exhibition, making ten errors. Classical made five errors, but they occurred when the bases were clean. Nibs Dowd broke up the game in the tenth inning by hitting a triple with two on the bases. Peterson, pitching for Commerce, subdued the blue and white by a score of 10-5 on May Bth. Classical was in the fight up to the 6th frame. In this inning Kowaleski was hit on his pitching arm and when he ascended the mound in the 7th, it was seen that he had lost his effectiveness. Dupuis succeeded him and kept the enemy at bay, but the milk had been spilt. In the second inter-high game, Classical lost a close game to South by a score of 5-4. A pretty pitching duel between O'Connor of South and Dupuis of Classical was the feature of the afternoon. Dupuis did well to hold the heavy-hitting crimson team to six hits and four runs, as it was his initial start in an inter-high game. The blue and white made two attempts to steal home, but on each occasion the runner was caught at the plate. May 16th brought joy to Classical as many of the veterans were declared eligible. The game was easily won as the team played well, and Jerome twirled excellent ball. Classical won its first inter-high game on May 19th, against North, by a score of 11-5. The blue and white began its assault in the first frame by scoring eight runs. With an eight run lead, Jerome took things easy, but tightened when pinches presented themselves. Three more runs were added before the game ended. As this AFTERMATH goes to print, the baseball schedule is scarcely half over, and Classical is tied for second place in the inter-high league. With the veterans back in the lineup, the team is strong, and we see no reason why last year's success cannot be repeated. TRACK TEAM Glrark Although Classical wins laurels in football, basketball, and baseball, the track team always seems to have misfortune following it. Probably the immediate cause of this is the small gymnasium which lacks a running track and other necessities that are needed for training track men. Coach Cantwell is also handicapped in producing a successful track team because of the lack of candidates. If the same number of boys would respond to his call for track as do for football and baseball, we feel safe in say- ing that Classical would be among the leaders in track also. In the first cross country run of the year, the Holiday Road Race, Hassett, Topelian and Shulinski won 11 points for Classical. These were the men among the first twenty only. North succeeded in winning the event, and in so doing secured a second hold on the Mayor's Cup. On October 22nd, Hassett was the only man to score for Classical in the annual long cross country run at Green Hill. As usual, North won the race, making the fourteenth consecutive time that she has won this hill and dale event. The freshmen opened the annual inter-high class matches on March 11th. Classical came in at the very end, but we had the satisfaction of seeing Plante, of Classical, give a very creditable performance. Plante finished second in the broad-jump, but bettered the previous plebe record. The sophomores had their turn March 13th. Commerce won the meet and Classical finished last. Topelian won the running high jump event. This was Classical's only score. The juniors, although finishing last, did better than the sophomores, in the Junior Meet on March 18th, winning fifteen points. Silverman, of Classical, and Farrington, of South, divided the individual honors by gathering ten points each. In the senior inter-high meet on March 20th, Classical made its best showing by finishing third with twenty-three points. McC1'ea starred for Classical, making nine points. The meet was won by North. Classical did not do so well in the annual inter-high games held at the Y. M. C. A. on March 27th. Hanson and Topelian gathered five and a half points for Classical, and this was the blue and white's total for the evening. North won the meet, a habit the orange and black have acquired in track meets. The harriers that wore the blue and white, upheld the standard of Classical in every meet they took part in, and we take this opportunity to thank Coach Cantwell and the squad for their earnest endeavor to put Classical among the foremost in track. mearvrz nf the GV amh C CROSS COUNTRY RUN George Hassett W FOOTBALL Tony Karpowich, Captain ':Sunky Anderson Archie Vincent Nibs Dowd Bob La Vig-ne Tom Heagney Dutch Upstrom Charley Javorski Fat Koreywo Walt Granger Tony Meleski Duffy Hanson Billy Jerome Duffy Dowd Nibs Dowd Tom Heagney Dutch Upstrom Starse Kowaleski Lee Leach Tom Chelanski Billy Jerome Nibs Dowd Fat Koreywo Starse Kowaleski Johnny Mullan Tom Sweeney Art Crowley C FOOTBALL C TRACK W BASKETBALL Goo-Goo Keblinsky Whitey Horgan Duffy Dowd Jack Feeley Bill Leahy Tommy Wright Firpo Gordon Freddy Donaghue Hae-Hae Tarlowsky Will Scanlon Top Topelian Duffy Hanson, Captain Swede Kangisser C BASKETBALL C BASEBALL Whitey Horgan Rod Delphos Bill Jasper Bob Teall Ted Babbitt Dowd Bill Lawton uT0pu HEdJ!

Stiff opposition was encountered, but the girls proved to everyone that they were equal to the task by going through the season undefeated. Classical started well, in the first game of the inter-high series, by defeating North 16-2. The blue and white played a remarkably smooth game and had no difficulty at all in winning. On January 24th, Classical defeated South 20-16. Both teams played an exceptionally Hne game, and the outcome was always in doubt. Classical drew away from the crimson towards the end of the game, and had the lead at the final whistle. The team had an easy time defeating Commerce 33-10, January 30th, for Com- merce offered little opposition. Playing with the same vigor that has marked all its games, Classical tucked away another victory. By defeating North 9-8 on February 7th, the blue and white won its fourth victory in the inter-high series. The game was one of the greatest battles ever witnessed on a girls' basketball court, probably, because both teams wanted to win badly. At the final whistle Classical was leading by one point, but it was enough to show Classical's superiority. The championship was virtually clinched by Classical when the blue and white conquered South 31-6. Besides displaying wonderful passing, the girls showed marked accuracy in dropping the ball through the hoop. The backs played a great game, and the crimson was able to score only six points. Classical won its sixth victory in the inter-high series when it defeated the blue and gold 15-'T on February 21st. Commerce gave Classical a hard tussle. The former did not look like the same team Classical had so easily defeated earlier in the season. By overcoming Commerce, Classical went through the season undefeated and won the basketball championship for the third successive season. The team that represented the blue and white on the basketball court was one of the best balanced teams in the history of our school. During the season, Classical piled up 124 points to their opponents' 49. This total speaks well for the defensive and of- fensive ability of the team, and it also indicates that the girls had a keen eye for the basket. The team-work was a noticeable and instrumental factor in gaining the vic- tories. Miss Drew is directly responsible for developing such excellent team-play, and we are very fortunate to have a coach that takes so much personal interest in a team. HOCKEY TEAM Qnrkrg The girls' field hockey team had to be content this year with second place. At the close of the season, Classical had won three games, lost two, and tied one. South had won one and tied the remaining five games. It was undecided which team had won the championship, but after a heated dispute, the decision was rendered in favor of South. The opening game of the season was lost to Commerce 1-0. Classical scored two goals, but on each occasion, time was called as the ball was crossing the goal. In the second game, with North, on October 19th, the girls displayed a fine offensive and came out the victors, 1-0. The blue and white battled South to a 1-1 tie, October 26th. Neither team was able to break through the other's defensive more than once, and the outcome of one of the closest games of the season ended in a tie. In the return game with Commerce, November lst, the girls avenged their first loss by defeating the blue and gold 1-0. Classical had an easy time with North on Novem- ber 9th. The girls showed excellent team-work and scored three goals while holding North scoreless. South defeated Classical 3-0 in the final game of the season. In defeating Classical, South won its only game of the season, but this proved enough to win the championship for them. Although the girls lost a disputed championship, we are proud of them for receiving the decision like sportsmen. p Glennie The girls' tennis season was a success despite the fact that the championship was not won. The team finished third in the annual inter-school games. The girls worked diligently, put forth their best efforts, and played the game from start to finish like true sports. The game with Commerce took place at Elm Park on September 28th. The victory was on our side from the first. The captain won from Miss McCarron, 6-3, 6-2. The other scores were these: Hall vs. Northbridge, 6-0, 6-0, and Russell vs. Norgen, 6-1, 6-1. The North meet at Vernon Hill showed the superiority of the opponents' skill: Edinberg vs. Lowe, 2-6, 3-63 Hall vs. Sisson, 1-6, 3-65 Russell vs. Jennings, 3-6, 2-6. The meet with South at Vernon Hill on September 21st was much closer: Edinberg vs. Butler, 7-9, 2-69 Hall vs. Sibley, 6-4, 6-23 Russell vs. Hayden, 2-6, 1-6. The final standing of the teams was as follows: South, first, North, second, Clas- sical, thirdg Commerce, fourth. mrarvra nf 1112 GI unh mn Flora Hall Helen Russell C GIRLS' TENNIS Ethel Edinberg, Captain K Philips Sophie Nadler W GIRLS' BASKETBALL Sally Griff Helen Morriss Lena Germaine Goiczy Goicz Slim Booth, Captain Babe Fennelly Helen Powers K Philips Helen Laivez C GIRLS' BASKETBALL Em Higgins Helen Palmer Grace Spellman Anna Anguria Helen Lyons Mary Hardy Peg Coyle Dot', Epstein Babe Fennelly, Captain Hannah Goldberg C GIRLS' HOCKEY Slim Booth Peg Coyle Goiczy Goicz Mary Horgan Helen Morriss K Philips Loretta Spurr Marian Caplan Sally Griff Dot Epstein Em Higgins Helen Laivez Helen Palmer Helen Powers Mary Tobin Lena Germaine an ' ' ' ' ,, 1 f-- Y in Z if w eww 5. fi . -, ,,,m.y2, , . 2 , S 2 ' WW' 'L Fi?

SYLVIA LOUISE DEROCHES -'syLv1A Born, October 9, 1905 Sunny as the skies. Sylvia is one of the most popular girls of the school and, it is known, is most especially popular with Mr. Kilton. She has been very active in school affairs, as a member of clubs and committees, and as an actress. She was president of the Botany Club for the last half year, and her work in Fashion was very well done. The good marks Sylvia has received through Classical will be kept up at Connecticut College for Women next year. Green Room Club, Senior Play, Botany Club fpresi- dent '23J, Pythagorean Club.

NORBERT XAVIER DOWD NIBS SNOOKS Born, August 14, 1906 Great oaks from little :warns grow. Some people are meant to be noticed. Nibs is one. Not that he is tall or large, but Nibs, if seldom seen, is always heard. No, Nibs is not a pest but a person to be appreciated, for his wit at least, as the fair sex will testify. No one doubts his athletic ability, and a trip to the Senior Revue surely cured those who doubted his nightingale qualifications.

It was a lucky day for us when Ruthie decided to enter Classical, for what should we have done without her? Whenever this demure maiden comes into a room, the whole atmosphere brightens and reflects her cheer- ful personality.

Sheiking, however, is not Reggie's only accomplishment, as he demonstrated in the Senior Revue, for those of us who witnessed with what dexterity he manipulated various articles of furniture proclaimed him a wonder and pre- dicted a brilliant future for him in the furniture mov- ing business.

If he is representative of the boys of Jamaica, New York, where he came from, I, for one, am looking forward to going there. Dave said he came to Worcester for a little excitement and, in the same breath, said he was hoping to go back to Jamaica. We wish he would stay. Brown will be his college.

Jack is an athlete par excellence, having starred for four years on Classical's football and baseball teams, and, while mention of Jack's athletic prowess is being made, it would not be amiss to state that, in the opinion of sporting writers, Jack is one of the best catchers who ever donned a mask and glove for Classi- cal.

If we ever held a contest to decide what girl in the class has done the most for Classical in all lines of ac- tivity, it's a safe bet that Bebe would come out on top. It takes but a glance at her long list of activities to demonstrate how versatile this charming young miss is. In addition to taking part in all forms of girl's athletics and belonging to several clubs, Bebe scored a hit as one of the Duncan Sisters in the Senior Revue.

Lil chums around with a girl from one of the other schools more than she does with any Classical girl, and so her interests are partly divided. She likes to dance and, we should imagine, does it with much grace. We shan't be giving away secrets now if we say that Lil doesn't study much. And yet she is getting through in three years, and one has to be clever to do that. Next year will probably see Lil at Normal School. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL ANTONIA M.

The only activity she engages in is walking up to the top Hoor and down again at the end of the period. Her pretty face has attracted many admirers. She is greatly in demand by girls having autograph books, be- cause Louie has a talent for drawing pictures. At home, she spends a great deal of her time in sewing and cooking. In the fall, she expects to enter the New Art School with the intent of further developing her artis- tic ability.

Who would not be charmed by her smile and twinkling eyes? Often, downstairs in front of a bevy of girls who crane their necks to see around her, we discover Helen comb- ing her hair before the only good mirror in the school.

Baseball, basketball, football, track, and tennis have been alike to him.

Why Barnum and Bailey did not hire Louis is a question all his friends ask, for he could make a circus clown look like an undertaker. Those who have heard this young gentleman's outbursts of humor have always wondered why Louie wasted his genius on Room 5. Evidently the guardian of this room has a different view on the subject, or Louie would not have visited Room 5 so frequently in the afternoon. Nevertheless, his amiable ways and his constant flow of humor have placed him, hih in his friends' estimate. Massachu- ieitts-Plrarmacy College will gain a valuable member in ouie. DORIS ELIZABETH HOLMES DOTTY DOT Born, October 27, 1905 Why, lovely Lassie, tell 'me why, So very kind, and yet so shy? Doris and Frances Coyle make a good pair around school. They are quite like each other in that they are quiet and retiring. Doris is so very quiet that we don't know much about her, except that she is talented in drawing' and does good work along that line.

When Big Boy came into the world, it is highly probable that his mother had a hard time finding a cradle for this giant in the bud. Big Boy could give Chester T. a run for his money in a contest for highest honors. Like most giants he is a good-natured and kind-hearted fellow, saying few words but doing much. fHowever, he doesn't have to say muchg one look at him will convince you that discretion is the better part of valourj.

If absence makes the heart grow fonder, then Miss Dodge should have a great fondness for Benny, which would make it a sort of cycle, for Benny is absent usually because of a ticket of leave from Miss Dodge.

Although she has not taken part in many activities, her charming manner has made many friends for her. Studying never bothers this happy miss, but she is always ready when called upon in class. Frances is undecided about the future. What Destiny has in store for her we don't pretend to know, but it's a safe bet that, if she doesn't plan success for her, Frances will simply ignore her and gain the success we Wish her.

Besides her voice, Dot is envied for a strawberry complexion which is natural, not purchased. The mischievous twinkle in her eyes has made many a gallant senior pay a short visit to Mr. Couming-after hours. Dot is one of the most popular girls in the class, thanks to her musical abili- ties.

MARY CATHERINE MCGUIGGAN MAE Born, April 27, 1906 Her air, her 'I7btl'Yl,'VL6T8, all who saw admi'rcrl. Mae is just what we expected her to be-a nice lovable gi1'l. Although very demure in school, it is doubtful whether she is quite so shy outside. A cheer- ful disposition has made her popular with her friends. If, during second hour in Room 8, you wonder where the constant buzzing comes from, find Mae and you have the source of all the whispering. As a teacher, no doubt she will forbid the whispering her pupils may indulge in. Botany Club. MARGARET CHRISTINA McKEON Born, July 15, 1906 So quiet and dcmurcf' Margaret is one of those rarely encountered people who have not taken an example from the automobile, and who therefore do not believe in the efficacy of con- stantly blowing one's own horn! As a result, We have missed a great deal of fun which would otherwise have fallen to our lot. For Margaret can be an enter- taining miss, or how could she have gained the friend- ship of so many of her classmates who claim to be in- terested only in what is snappy ? F THE AFTERMATH LEO JAMES MELICAN Born, January 21, 1908 Wearing his wisdom wisely. Classical is indeed fortunate in having among, its graduates a fellow like Leo Melican. Quietness, unob- trusiveness, diligence, these three qualities are the key- stone of Leo's character. Leo is a student of the high- est type, and his brilliant scholarship has won the high esteem in which he is held. His undisguised simplicity and his optimistic philosophy of life mark him as a real representative of Classical. Worcester Tech gains a proficient mathematician in Leo. C. H. S. D. A., Pythagorean Club, Science Club. RALPH EDGAR MOODY RALPH Born, July 23, 1905 Good actions seldom go unrewnrdedf' It's really too bad that we have not a nickname for Ralph, but as he hails from Paxton we can call him Foreigner, Ralph is one of the boys however, be- cause he completes the eternal triangle-Stickney, Nel- son, Moody. Ralph has had more than his share of sick- ness this last year, but his perseverance has kept him abreast of the class. Durham College will receive Ralph in the fall. Here's how, Ralph! ANNIE LILLIAN MORRISON Born, November 11, 1906 A pleasant compa-nion is as good as a coach. If anyone should remark that Annie is rather small, the retort courteous should be, Good things come in small packages. Annie is one of those rare persons who enjoy listening to someone else talking. Perhaps that is why some would-be heart-breaker is always telling her his troubles. But we suspect the main at- traction to be Annie herself. Her whimsicality is a welcome change from the sophistication of some of her classmates. Economics Club. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 1 FRANCES MORSE FRA Y FRANNIE Born, April 11, 1907 Her step is music and her voice is song. Volumes could be written about this entertaining miss, but space does not permit us. Frannie is de- cidedly popular with everybody, especially with the sterner sex, who always succumb to Frannie's allur- ing eyes. She is quite an adept at the Terpsichorean art, as those who have danced with her will testify. But Frannie is not only proficient on the waxed floor, being an extremely clever maiden both in class and out of it. Here's wishing you lots of luck, Frannie, Wherever you go.

The poor man must turn in his grave when Johnnie speaks. But Johnnie is literary enough to make up for his weird use of adjectives, for, forsooth he possesses a six cylinder pen and seems to land automatically in the chief editor's chair of all things literary. Just to show he is not one sided, Johnnie deigns to lend his aid to baseball each spring.

JOHN WILLIAM MURPHY MURPH -'JACKH mics Born, February 19, 1906 HMZI only books were womrm's looks, Ami folly's all thegfve taught mc. Murf believes in acting natural all the time. Murf was a big hit as a black-faced comedian be- cause he acted natural. At times he makes us think he escaped from Bloomingdale, but we appreciate him as a blues chaser. The opposite sex think a great deal of Murf and we are sure the feeling' is mutual. Murf will continue his capers at Brownor Boston University. Senior Revue, Economics Club, AFTERMATH Board fBusinessJ. THE AFTERMATH SOPHIE NADLER SOPHIE Born, July 3, 1908 In 'virtues none can surpass her. The tennis squad has had a good player in Sophie, for she has two letters as a result of her industrious playing. She is getting well prepared for normal school work next year and, at the same time, Classical profits by her diligence. There's no room for doubt that Sophie will always succeed because of the way in which she does things, and Classical will be proud, as it is now, to own her. Kithara Club, Tennis, Aletheia. FORREST SPRAGUE NELSON FORRY BURNIN Born, December 27, 1906 The quiet men are the great men. Furry is our mathematical genius, perhaps be- cause he's tall and can see way ahead. He is usually to be found in close proximity to Dick Stickney. These two inseparable companions take the 5.30 car from the wilds of Massasoit Road every morning and get to Worcester in time to skip into Room 4 before the bell rings. Lately, Forrest has taken the position of dis- tribution manager of the Hot Dog -he is selling quite a few. Next year Ferry expects to begin a course in the Boynton Hill institution. 1 Pythagorean, Science. HELEN JOSEPHINE 0'CONNOR ffT1cKLE's SISTER Born, October 6, 1906 To be heroic in happiness. Where's Helen O'Toole? Well, there's Helen O'Connor. And so it goes. Some places know of famous com- binations such as bread-and-butter, or fair and warmer, but only Classical has a contribution like Helen and Helen. Helen manages to have a fine time, and yet avoid getting excited. She has a smile-and who does not know that slow smile of hers ?-for everyone. Aletheia. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL GEORGE HENRY O'LOUGHLIN 'AKAYOH Born, October 19, 1904 He comes and goes with a smile. Is there anyone who doesn't know Kayo '! Of course not! With a personality that is envied by all, Kaye reigns supreme among his friends. No, Kayo isn't a pugilist, although he does indulge in the manly art of self-defense. As a dramatist, he has no peer. We have often seen Kaye do the Mantell act to perfection in the Green Room plays. Holy Cross is fortunate to get him. Green Room Club, Economics Club. AUGUSTINE O'MALLEY GUS Born, May 30, 1907 Though vanquished he could argue still. Although Gus is something of an athlete and a lover of the wide open spaces, he has spent a great many afternoons in quiet and study. No, folks, Gus Wasn't in love, but it was the deadly machinations of Miss Dodge and Mr. O'Regan that put him in that sad state. Moreover, the P. M. Room was usually the torture chamber. Next year Gus will probably enter Holy Cross. HELEN MAE O'TOOLE HELEN '-T0oLEY Born, December 2, 1906 Those about her, From her shall read the perfect 'ways of honour. Helen can be termed our leading lady, as she is our guiding star in numerous activities. To enumerate her accomplishments would be a timely task, but the secret of her success is her pleasing disposition and smiling countenance. She also shines at socials be- cause of her mirth and her ability to trip the light fan- tastic. Helen goes to Smith College, and we are sure of her success, as history 'usually repeats itself.

THE AFTERMATH MARGARET MARY PAULUKONIS HMARGIEH 1-PEG PEGGY Born, October 2, 1906 She is pretty to walls with, Aml witty to talk with, And pleasant, too, to think on. Margie of the sunny hair and blue eyes has been a source of real joy to tall her friends. Her ready wit and keen sense of humor make her a desirable com- panion. Singing is her hobby-her voice is reason enough. Her gentleness and patience will stand her in good stead in the future, for nursing is Margie's am- bition. In the fall, she will begin training. We envy the patients who will fall under her care. Glee Club, Aletheia. WALLACE MELVIN PETERSON --PETEH Born, December 9, 1905 'Tis something to be willing to commenfl, But my best praise is that I am your friend. Pete is the kind of fellow who makes you sure that Hrst impressions are wrong impressions. He almost always strikes you as a shark or plug, but you find out he is not when you know him. He has always been a good sport, a jolly fellow, a willing helper, and an advocate of fair play. Classical's teams could always be sure of one supporter in Pete, As he is going to take a position in his father's contracting business, we shall wait for big things from Pete and we are sure he will come through as usual. JIFKA POPOFF JIFKA Born, November 6, 1905 A heart unspottrzd is not easily dauntcdf' To notice the active interest Jifka has taken in sports and other activities, while she has been at Classical, one would little dream that it is only a few years since Jifka came to this country from Bulgaria. Her ever- smiling countenance and her cheerful disposition have made her the immediate friend of those with whom she has come in contact. Next year she enters Radcliffe, Ehere she intends to specialize in mathematics and atin. Hockey, Kithara Club, Basketball, Pythagorean Club, Music Memory Team. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 99 JAMES RICHARD POVVE-R JIM Born, July 15, 1906 None but himself crm bc his parallel. We didn't know what a speed merchant we had in Jim till the C. H. S. D. A. made him chairman of the membership committee. From an ordinary school club, Jim increased the membership so fast that it was necessary to set a membership limit and form a Waiting' list. In other lines Jim is equally capable, as his work for the Argus, AFTERMATH Board, and Senior Revue testifies. Good luck at Holy Cross, Jim, C. H. S. D. A., Junior Debating Team, AFTERMATH Editorial Board, Argus, Senior Revue. SIMON QUEEN HSI.. Born, April 10, 1905 A man I knew who lived upon a smile. Yes, the secret is out. Si's success with the fair sex is due to his wonderful line. It was said for 'ISV' that he could sell sand on the Sahara Desert and, since We saw the way that he managed our Senior Revue, we have believed it. When we part from Si , we shall all feel that we have lost a true friend- a real sport. Si goes to University of Maine, where he has our heartiest wishes for success.

According to her nickname, this young lady might seem egotistic and vain. But nay, dear friends, UI , on the contrary, is a very modest demure maiden. In spite of her seeming shyness, her many charms are the answer to that widely asked question, Why do boys leave home? To look at I is to love her, if you may believe the boys. And when you once know her, you adore her. Delicate features and beautiful eyes make her the cynosure of all eyes. May success attend your future at all times, I, THE AFTERMATH MARGARET MARY REIDY PEGGY Born, April 13, 1906 Sweetness and reserve, excellent things in woman. Although as still as a mouse in her classrooms, her noise and laughter near her locker show that still waters run deep. Peggy is liked by boys and girls alike. Her sweet smile has enlarged her eve1'-increas- ing circle of friends. Herself a good student, she al- ways lends a helping hand to others. This fall she is to enter normal school, where she will study to achieve her greatest ambition, which is teaching. Our sin- cerest wishes for luck follow her. Botany Club. SEYMOUR REVZIN HC., Born, April 19, 1906 O eloquent child ! We can just about imagine the fortunate f?J school children of two thousand years from now stumbling through the pages of a Revzifn. For can Cicero and his Orations compare with C's efforts? We never heard of Cice1'o's being captain of more than one speak- ing team. C is one of the reasons why class meetings are popular. No unexciting unanimous votes go when he is around. C. H. S. D. A., Senior Revue, Student Council lPresi- dentl, Declamation Team fCaptainJ, Debating Team 1CaptainJ, Green Room Club. LORE TTA CATHERINE RICE LORETTA Born, June 22, 1907 A ready smile, a cheery word, A sunbeam in this world of strife. Loretta is one of the quietest girls in our school- when she is not making a noise of some kind. Just the same, every one of her friends finds a true pal in her. Her sympathy and quick understanding make her a desirable chum. At recess you are certain to come upon her somewhere near the corner of the lunch counter, plate in hand, helping to consume whatever is advertised on the menu. Her goal is teaching, and she will enter normal school. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL ROBERT RIVERSMAN BOB -'PIMPLESTEINH Born, September 14, 1905 Everything tlmt is worth n.cqui1 i'ng is attended with 'risksf' Bob is a very reserved young gentleman, taking part in very few prominent affairs in schoolg but as 'a representative of Classical at The Post he did his work nobly and a few weeks ago received his honorable discharge. Bob hears the call of the stage for, like his fellow countryman, John McCormack, he sings the old Irish melodies. His friends urge Bob to go to some music school, but he will decide his vocation in the fall. Success in your career, Bob. Senior Revue, Science Club. EVELYN ROBBINS EVE Born, January 12, 1907 We wonder what would have befallen the Senior Re- vue if Evelyn had not been at the piano to guide the performers. For Eve plays the piano, and plays it a la mode. All of which goes to prove the proverb that Still water runs deep. Not that Eve is so very quiet. Hardly that, for it is always evident when she is playing hookey, since then at least one corner of Room 6 is quiet. Economics Club, G Clef Club, Green Room Club, AFTERMATH Board, Senior Revue. EDITH SYBIL ROBERTS -1ED1E Born, August 19, 1906 Elegant as simplicity and 'warm as ecstasy. According to Edie herself, looks are deceptive, and she is not so shy and reserved as she appears to be. People are attracted to her because of her ready sym- pathetic smile. She is one of the few in Room 8 who is not forever whispering, but always has her nose buried in Burke's Conciliation or some other such book, though we cannot see what good that will do her when she is a nurse. Good luck to you, Edie, Botany Club. 136 THE AFTERMATH NELLE RUTH ROBINOVITS NELLIE Born, March 9, 1906 The 'right of commancliny is due to labors. Meet Nellie of the bright eyes and ready smile, for she is one of our witty, happy, popular girls, who helps keep the school alive and who gathers A's every ten weeks. Nellie has shown her pep in securing ads for the AFTERMATH. She has won so many friends among Classical students that we have no doubt but what her personality will bring her friends at Simmons. Here's luck, Nellie, B Aleitheia, Pythagorean Club, AFTERMATH Business oar . ADRIEN CHARLES ROBITAILLE RUBY Born, November 29, 1906 Diligence is the mother of success. Roby has been a'rather quiet fellow, perhaps be- cause he has been attending to his studies all the time. He doesn't say very much, but what he does say is worth while. He has never gone out for athletics, but has been a valuable member of several of the school clubs. Roby hasn't decided what he is going to do yet, but we know he will surely be a success. Economics Club, Science Club, Boys' Glee Club. JOSEPH EUGENE ROCHETTE, JR. JOE Born, September 13, 1906 Wisdom will out, it is the one thi-ng that cwn-not be supprcsserl. Joe is one of our sharks Mathematics, English, Science, and History are alike to Joe and he per- formed on the track team to add variety to his ac- complishments. He showed his dramatic powers dur- ing his senior year by taking parts in two of Mr. Post's productions. We shall never forget him as the drunken porter in Macbeth Joe enters Harvard next fall, where nought can stop his conquests. Green Room Club, Pythagorean Club, C. H. S. D. A., Track, Senior Play. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOI BESSIE ANNA ROSENBAUM IiESSIE Born, June 5, 1907 Give to the world the best you lirrvc, Ami the best will coma back to you. Bessie has always taken jokes about her build in such a jovial manner that we think she plumes herself on having something which the rest of us do not pos- sess. She's got the arm of Jack Dempsey, but also the dexterity of Kreisler. Many a time has Bessie thrilled us with her violin, and twice have we beheld her taking leading parts in Mr. Post's plays. Bessie intends to enter the New England Conservatory of Music next fall, where the class wishes her melodious success. Aletheia, Kithara, Orchestra, Green Room, G. Clef, Music Memory Team. MARY CAROLINE RYAN MARY Born, August 14, 1905 'Tis to he-r that I would clri'n.lc. Who was it who said, Still waters run deep ? We think he must have known our Mary. Mary's very quiet, very demure, but-just get her started. She's as merry, as happy-go-lucky, as the most flapperish girl in the class. And maybe her classmates don't appre- ciate her company! We think the restraint Mary puts on herself makes her doubly appealing to the suscep- tible ones. Normal school will be fortunate in claiming her next year. Economics Club, Senior Revue. LESTER HEATH SARTY LES -'SAPPYH man Born, July 19, 1906 Harmm1y in 'lLT7T0lL7'.n Sappy is one of the two most popular members of the broom brigade. From the looks of the floors we'd say Sappy was practising' portraiture in the dust, and that is our idea of a waste of time. When it comes to drawing, he has few equals, whether it be drawing on paper or drawing dying calf melodies from a saxo- phone. Senior Revue. THE AFTERMATH HILDEGARDE SAWYER f-HIL Born, October 7, 1906 A little, tiny, pretty, witty, charming, clarli-ng she. Hil is known as one of the best whisperers in Room 8, and causes special distress to Miss Pierce dur- ing second hour. Her hobbies are horses and arguing. Every one in Hil's economics class waits for her to start an argument, for they all know that there is not much time left for the regular work after she is through. People interested in agriculture will find Hil well posted on farming. She will enter some college after attending a preparatory school next year. Economics Club, Aletheia. THELMA SEDER TIBEY Born December 18, 1906 At every trifle scorn to take offense. Oh, Tibey ! Now, how can one small girl manage to wreak the havoc Tibey does? No need for her to do the startling thing. She just goes her merry un- concerned way, and yet her conquests are legion. We wonder sometimes if Tibey hasn't some surprise up her sleeve that she intends to spring upon us when we least suspect. Our fondest hope is that she goes to some co-ed school. Green Room Club, Economics Club, Aletheia, Botany Club, Senior Debating Team. DOROTHY CONSTANCE SHAPIRO 'foorf' Born, October 28, 19061 A thing of beauty is a joy forever. Dot could give a movie queen lots of competition when it comes to a pretty countenance. This alluring maiden with her sparkling eyes and vivacious smile is a sight for sore eyes. Small wonder that Classical is so popular with the stronger sex, for they take one look at Dot and go no farther. We have no fears for Dot's success at normal school, where she seeks more knowledge. Green Room Club, Aletheia, Economics Club, Senior Debating Team. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL SARA SHAPIRO f-SALLY Born, January 6, 1906 Her 'voice was wer soft, gentle, and low, wn excellent tllivrg in woman. Of all the adorable qualities that Sally possesses, we must say that her voice is most charming. Soft and musical, it is a joy to all who hear it. A contagious smile is another one of her possessions. Always happy and sunny-tempered, she is loved by all who have the pleasure of her acquaintance. She has not come to a definite decision as to her future, but expects to attend some college in the fall. Botany Club, Aletheia. JOHN FRANKLIN SHEAN FRANK -'DOUGLASH Born, September 14, 1906 An hour of good cheer is worth. barrels of gold. When one mentions studying to Frank, the answer will invariably be, The less said the better. Mistake this not, and judge that he has no love for school or learning, for what else might be the cause of his daily return? Frank's unfailing pep, together with his constant good nature, has made him extremely popular. It doesn't take a seer to predict he will succeed in busi- lriess, where the best wishes of the class accompany im. Senior Revue. HARRY BERNARD SHEFTEL Born, July 9, 1906 There is no wisdom lilac frzmlc'n.ess. In his four years at Classical, Harry has established for himself an enviable record. This capable young man's specialty is debating. He has held many an audience of gaping freshmen and sophomores with his flow of incomparable intellectuality. As captain of the senior debating team, he led his colleagues to a cham- pionship. His frank personality and logical reasoning will help him rise to great heights at Clark, which he enters this fall.

Classical missed three years of Nat's pleasant company. For her newly-made friends the year has passed altogether too quickly. Although her short stay here hasn't given her much time to take part in any activities, we know she is capable of doing well in whatever she attempts. Ever cheerful and always ready with a sweet smile, is it any wonder the opposite sex has fallen for her? Best of luck at University of Ver- mont, Nat ! Economics Club. ETTA KATHRYN SHREIAR f-ETTIW' JEFF f-ETTH Born, February 9, 1907 The 'virtue of hcr lively looks Excels the precious stone. Ettie, one of our prettiest girls, has proved to us that good things come in small packages, and also the truth of opposites attract, for the majority of her friends tower far above her. Of these, her jolly dispo- sition and twinkling eyes have won many. Samples -of her wit and humor have appeared in the Argus. Any recess-time the trio of which Ettie is a member meet by the radiator opposite the library. Her hobby is cocoa and cookies at recess. Normal school will gain a charming addition this fall. GERTRUDE SILVER f-GEM Born, January 22, 1905 A smile in her eye. Gertrude was through school in February, so we have been without her since then, but We hear on good authority that she has been most successful doing cleri- cal work at a business place in the city. She will prob- ably go into the business line more deeply and will prepare for that by studying at Becker's next year. Al- though Gert is very quiet, she does not need to tell us that she is a loyal alumna of Classical. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL LOUIS MORTON SKIEST LOUlE Born, December 26, 1906 Let me sleep on zz-url do not 'wake me ycl. Louie's greatest ambition was, when he was a child, to go to Worcester Tech and become an engineer, and so he decided that Classical was the best place in which to prepare himself to go there. Louie never has gone out for any very strenuous sports, but we have heard from authentic sources that he is a wizard at checkers, and wields a mean racquet in a ping- pong game. Best wishes, Louie, for success in your career as an engineer. C. H. S. D. A. LORETTA ROSE SPURR LORRIE Born, September 20, 1905 Merry and gay, lut care jlil. away. Loretta has been popular among both sexes at Clas- sical, and her masculine admirers and friends equal those of the so-called weaker sex. She has been inter- ested in athletics during her entire course and was on the hockey team in her last two years. Much to the surprise of her classmates, Loretta blossomed forth as a chemist during her senior year, being one of Mr. O'Regan's chief standbys in the ancient science of the many tubes and bottles. The future school children are an object of envy to us because Loretta goes to normal school to become a teacher. Aletheia, Economics Club, Hockey, Glee Club, Green Room Club.

As president of the Recess Radiator Recreation Club, he conducted many successful meetings, though Mr. Porter broke up a few by sitting on the radiator. Out of school Dick dispenses dill pickles, baked beans, smoked herring, and watch-fobs for the Worcester Market. We are sure success is awaiting Dick at Worcester Academy.

After four years at Classical, Len leaves with most of the same ideas as when he arrived, one being that of the wisdom of as little studying as possible. Len is cheerfulness personified. If you want con- firmation of this, just ask any of his friends. His cheery smile and Winning manner have made him liked and admired by everyone' with whom he has come in contact, so that it's not necessary to assemble the class ig: tell him all his classmates wish him luck at Holy ross. HARRY DAVIS TASHAMKA HARRY Born, June 27, 1906 Da not overtask the mind. Hey! Harry! Whaddaya want? Yes, we must list Harry as an orator. It makes no difference if he is talking to his companions or to boys, his soft melodious Q71 voice thrills us all. Harry is a great fellow for games. He is always present at Miss Pierce's mathematical recreations where he gets as much pleasure as a cross-eyed kid at a three-ring circus. Harry takes his place among Classical's repre- sentatives at Boston University. Pythagorean Club, Green Room Club, Science Club, Botany Club, C. H. S. D. A. DORIS MARY TE BO RED Born, August 10, 1906 Eyes of blue. It was from Auburn that Doris came to Classical, and she knew very few Classicalites at first. As soon as the football season began, Doris started to show her school spirit by asking where the games were and how to get to them.

He is a busi- ness man par excellence and it was due to the pres- sure of his outside engagements that he never found time to demonstrate to Mr. Cantwell his athletic ability, in which he is not lacking.

Of course not. Neither did Mr. Evers. All of which goes to prove that Abie gets away with a lot behind that mask of innocence he wears. If Abie doesn't become a politician, we'll be sadly disappointed, but then he is always springing the unexpected. Holy Cross is in line for a few surprises when Abie gets started next autumn, and we'll say he does start. Senior Revue, Economics Club. EVA FRANCES WHITE EVE Bo1'n, August 26, 1905 Sweet as the primrosc peeps beneath the thorn. Eva is that demure little person whom one sees al- ways in Rachel's company. Blond bobbed hair, grey eyes, combined with a pretty slimness, and a natural taste in dress make a heart-breaking combination. And added to her other virtues is a vivacious personality that has endeared her to the hearts of everyone. Eva, however, never allows sentiment to interfere with school work, and the would-be heart-breakers must sigh unsatisfied. Green Room Club, Economics Club, Aletheia, Student Council. LAWRENCE DARWIN WILLOUGHBY LA WRENCEH Born, March 20, 1907 His heart and ha-nfl both open and both free. We are sure that with such a distinguished middle name Lawrence can't do otherwise than make himself distinguished. He is interested both in music and in printing. He plays the piano and has been thinking of studying that next year, although now it is decided that his main occupation will be studying printing at the Trade School. Everyone is interested in his welfare and wishes him success. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL DAVID SAUL WITKIND sK1NNY -'DAVEH DOVEY Bo1'n, July 17, 1905 Let jay be u'n.conji'n.cd. Dave was heralded as a runner of no mean ability when he entered Classical. After hearing this young Caruso, we understand why he was a good marathon runner. Dave sang at the Senior Revue but, as he didn't have his running shoes, the audience kept their seats. Dave has always given a good account of him- self in. speaking contests, though he didn't represent Classical in inter-high contests. The good luck which the class wishes him, coupled with Dave's good na- ture, we are sure will bring him success at the Boston School of Pharmacy. Senior Revue, C. H. S. D. A., Track.

After completing a high school course in Russia, Meyer took the long trip across and landed in Classical the following fall. During his two years stay Meyer has received no less than eighteen A's, which ought to be enough to satisfy anyone. Meyer's hobby is delving into the philosophy of Plato and Socrates and he is capable of delivering profound philosophy himself. Since ability will always come to the top, we have no fears for Meyer's success at Clark. Economics Club, Horace Mann Honor Pupil. WAYNE' WILFRED WOODIS -'BARNEY' CAULY Born, December 22, 1905 Music hath charms to soothe the savage breast. Barney is known to everybody as the guardian of the cow-extract at the lunch counter, and woe be unto you if you try to get away without giving him the de- sired check. Barney wields a mean sax, as he so successfully CU demonstrated at the Senior Revue, and has been a favorite with the weaker sex at Classical as well as elsewhere. Barney leans toward the study of music at the Boston Conservatory of Music. Luck to you, Barney, in whatever you attempt! C: H. S. D. A., Science Club, Senior Revue. THE AFTERMATH THOMAS DODGE WRIGHT TOM TOMMIE Born, August 8, 1905 The great men are the quiet mem. 'fTom .is a shining example of two old proverbs- S1lence IS golden and Actions speak louder than words -and it seems that he has guided his life by them. He has never had the semblance of an enemy at Classical and his friends are countless. Tom's specialty is football and Woe be unto the back who at- tempts to circle Tom's end. Farewell, Tom, and may your enemies be as few and your friends as many in after life as they have been at Classical. Football, Basketball. FRANCIS JOSEPH WYNN WYNNIE Born, April 9, 1905 A will to succeed is half the fight. Better late than never, said Wynnie as, after having tarried three years at South High, he wended his way toward Classical. Those of us who have had the pleasure of knowing him intimately during his short stay with us, have to regret only that he did not join us earlier. Wynnie is one of those quiet, unobtrusive fellows who, though they are never in the way, are al- ways ready to pitch in and lend a helping hand. Though Wynnie has not yet decided what he is going ROBERT WILLARD DOUGLAS JEFTS BOB SLEEPY Born, June 4, 1902 Nothing in haste, except to catch fleas. Bob has not taken a prominent part in social life while at Classical, due to working afternoons 5 but in the class-room, Bob has always delivered the goods. He is not a night watchman, though his frequent yawns and occasional slumbers indicate his ability to rest at any available time. Almost every morning Bob's feet click the pavements faster than a meter on a taxi, for many a time have those feet in a half mile dash down Pleasant street, passed a few Bradley limousines. Bob is uncertain where to go, but after the summer he will decide. The class wishes him success in his career. to do, we feel sure that he will be a success. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL JOHN FRANCIS GIBLIN ' DA DA JACK Born, December 22, 1905 Come, give us a. taste of your quality. Jack has not been prominent in school activities, but in studies he has made a good record. He is an amateur athlete of ability, though due to outside ac- tivities he did not represent Classical. But the quiet and amiable disposition for which Jack is noted has gained countless fast friends for him. Jack has not decided whether Georgetown or Holy Cross will claim him in the fall.

Education is not a ritual but an adventure. An educational book is one that gets something out of you and not one that you get something out of. Cargo requires large plots of ground, expensive buildings, fine surroundings, attendants, bonded indebtedness, thousands and thousands and thousands of volumes, and you escape thinking because of speeches and luggage and you Ford Ideals life. In the 452 the horde of paid talkers and the army of paid authors with their surfeit their deluge of writings do that for you. Motive power carries no such think for yourself as nature and the Divine Educator intended. starts you thinking and keeps you that way for the'rest of your natural pages where 96 important and paramount questions are discussed there is not a. wasted word or syllable anywhere to be found. These articles have been rewritten in many languages by request and have appeared in different climes because the starving world had set up a cry for real mental food and the mechanic of Dearborn has furnished it. It is a book not for the shelfbut for the table where we partake of corpureal food, and it brings to that table, whether it be breakfast, dinner or supper, the only autocrat worth talking about and the only autocrat that should ever sit there-the human mind, active and alert. This book acts on the mind like priming on a pump and grips you with the grip of steel. It has not been written to make the author rich or to fill the coffers of his great publishing company, yet it is superior as an educational force to any book ever published. It insists that fundamentals shall be insisted upon and not taken for granted, that brain matter is over knowledge, because with brains you can get any form of knowledge required, knowing then how to use it, and that without brains, knowledge, no matter how much you carry, amounts to nothing. It teaches you that it is not polish that counts but rather texture, and this is determined in a man by his vitality, his energy, his character, his courage, and his rock-bottom brain power. Every grown up member ol' the family and every boy or girl worthy of being classed as a student should have his or her own copy. PRICE 51.00. MICHAEL T. FLAI-IERTY 311 MAIN STREET WORCESTER, MASS.
