In Novem- ber, Mr. Tomlinson came here as teacher of Mechanical Drawing to succeed Mr. Pelton, Whose death occurred so suddenly. After receiving his education in the mountains of Vermont, Mr. Tomlinson became supervisor of the Watervliet Arsenal between Troy and Albany, New York. Later he became an employee of the government on the Ordnance Salvage Board. Serving in this capacity, he travelled about the world, visiting Japan, China, and practically every portion of Europe. He wrote the General Machinist Manual for the army vocational schools. He then came to Worcester as supervisor of the Stockbridge Machine Company. And now Classical is fortunate in claiming him. 0115155 Obffirera CHARLES WHELAN P1'eside1z.t CATHERINE PHILLIPS Secretary MARY HORGAN Vice-President, Historvicm ADRIAN VAN LEEUVVEN Treasuver, Oratov Mary Horgan Katherine Phillips Helen P.

Speaking in behalf of the Class of '25, it is with sincere pleasure that we now have an opportunity to express our feelings toward you, dear parents, who have labored earnestly with us to gain that end which we have now attained. For your consideration and interest at all times in our wel- fare we extend our warmest thanks. We are certain that there is a sense of pride witnessed by you, dear parents, on seeing those whom you have cared for and guided by every resource in your power, successfully complete their high school courses. Let us, if you will, linger long in your remembrance, dear teachers. It is with the deepest regret that we shall leave these walls, where four pleasant years have sped. What opportunities were afforded us, who are at the critical period in our lives! The various benefits received in our course will be among the foundation stones of any future success we may have. V And so, parents, teachers, and friends, we most heartily welcome you to our observance of this day. MARY E. HORGAN Glam Eiatnrg MARY IN CLASSICAL fWith apologies to the immortal Alicej Mary was beginning to get very tired of having nothing to do-you will under- stand that my heroine was a strange child in her youth. It was the day before the opening of school, so Mary wondered whether she would like her teachers. But Who, thought Mary, could like a teacher?-unless perhaps high school teachers are differ- ent. In her own Way, you see, Mary was a prophet. The day came. Mary started out for school. She walked and walked-up one street and down another-until she noticed an immense building, which many boys and girls were entering. Mary thought she had never seen such a big building. I wonder if this could be Classical, said Mary. t'I'll have to ask. Please ma'am, is this Clark College? and Mary raised her hand as if she were in school. But what an ignorant person she'd think me. I guess I'd better not ask. It may be written down somewhere. Then Mary entered the building. Inside there were two staircases, one going down, the other going up. 'AI wonder why we must go up stairs and then down? Why can't we always be on the level? Up she ran, but she thought she would never get to the top. There were pupils walking to and fro. One was Mary's own brother, who passed by with no sign of recognition. He had already impressed upon her that he was a Senior and, as such, could not notice her at school. It was true, Seniors did look bigger-in school! Mary walked into a large hall where there were many students who were just her height. When she went to sit down, she went all the way to the floor. Such funny seats, thought Mary, sometimes you can sit on them, and other times, you can't. On the stage, a gentleman who kept buttoning and unbuttoning his coat in a fas- cinating way was instructing the students in the rules of the school and handing out slips to each one. Mary wondered why he kept saying, And just one thing more. That makes five more, said Mary to herself. On her slip, Mary found that she was assigned to an attic room. The 'teacher there was directing the students to write a few particulars as to age, color, and pre- vious condition of servitude. While she was explaining, Mary was gazing about her. You are not paying attention, said the teacher, adjusting her glasses. I beg your pardon, said Mary shyly. You had got to the home address. I had not, cried the teacher very angrily. 22 CLASSIC MYTHS A knot! said Mary, who wished to make herself useful. Oh, please let me help to undo it. Such nonsense! said the teacher. Mary soon learned that she was to go to certain rooms at the ringing of certain bells. At one bell, one rushed madly somewhere else, at five bells, one rushed madly out of the building and sauntered ing at two- bells, one merely jumped. It was Mary's habit to enter promptly at 8:15 every day, at least that first year. After that-well-it became a matter of more particular concern to Mr. O'Regan. There were many things that puzzled Mary at Classical. Why, for instance, did the teachers keep asking questions when they knew the answer? Mary was polite at first and gravely said, No, thank you, and she allowed the teacher to answer. She liked to see the gleam of delight in the teacher's eyes as she answered her own ques- tion. Then Mary got her score card, each teacher adding her own private mark. Mary's all were strangely alike. D is delightful, D is delicious, These are the marks Of poor little fishes. Mary chirped her pome to her mother and father. But Mother did not like it- she shook her head very gravely and Father nodded, Quite so. And so they explained the game to Mary. It was like tennis-one sent the answer back. Like tennis-but not so much fun for Mary. One day they gave her an object lesson. She was escorted to Room 9. Strange children were there-children who did not like to go home with the others. Mary did not like it! Not a child spoke-they were so dumb, poor things! Upon Mary's second adventure into Classical, much was changed. First Mary- her head was unaccountably large-never before had Mary felt quite so big. Then of course, she was grown up. Her dresses were longer, her tresses shorter. She felt as if she could look down upon others now. There were some days at Classical more important than others, Mary soon found out. On one occasion Mary noticed that all of her friends were talking of a game that was to be held. The winner in this game was to be given the privilege of doing all the talking. The contestants were Irving Kumin, Bob Teall, Betty Budish, Mary Hor- gan, Billie Niman, Kiddo Phillips, f'Babe,' Slobin, and Bob Eccles. Irving won the game and he has never been the same. The other winners were Betty Budish, Billie Niman and Babe Slobin, What did those posters say? Mary simply had to satisfy her curiosity. The Championship Game-Commerce Gym-Classical vs. Commerce. Of course, Mary went. But one thing she saw almost caused her to faint. Boys were actually there- CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 23 at a girls' game! And how they did shout when Kidd0 Phillips and Sally Griff won the championship! There were, to be sure, other girls on the team, but Mary early in life learned to concentrate on the numeral 25. Mary, as a rule, was a shy, modest girl. But one May day she appeared at school red all over. Red tie, red shoestrings, red band, and what not. Most of Mary's classmates saw red that day too. Betty Budish did every time she looked at her wrist watch, and others, every time they looked in the mirror. At the beginning of Maryls third excursion into Classical atmosphere, she was astounded at what the summer had accomplished. The building itself had grown smallerg all pupils below Junior grade were mere children and the teachers were to Mary-just teachers. Mary found herself many times brought to the Assembly Hall for lung exercises. Every week or so she had to practice very loud these strange sounds, Fred Donahue, Eddie Gordon, Uppie Uppstrom, Arthur Crowley, John Koreywo, Harry Tarlowsky, Tom Heagney, Walter Granger, and Charles Jaworski-RAH! RAH! RAI-I! Mr. Porter seemed especially interested in the effect of the exercise on the last boy as he said, Watch him growf' At the election this year, Irving Kumin, Betty Budish, Bertha Segel, and Billie Niman won. At one of the class meetings Irving announced that his class would have a Prom. Strange things, these class meetings-and each year they grew stranger. One could shut one's eyes and still recognize one's friends. One busy little B. buzzed continually, Well, I was chairman of that dance, while hardly anything was accom- plished before one would hear, Point of order, Mr. President, and 'Td like to make a subsidiary motion or an amendment to that motion, or Mr. President, I suggest that-ah-ah-well, ah. Of course, when they all talked at once-well-one won- dered where Mr. Coolidge ever found law and order in Massachusetts. Stranger and more wonderful was Mary's Junior Prom. Of course one was a bit annoyed when someone asked for the fifteenth dance when everybody knew there were only fourteen dances. And one did want to bring a step-ladder for Blossom Mason to reach her tall partner. It was rather fun to see Walter Granger giving an imitation of a Spanish dancer and Tom Heagney as a Russian dancer. The night before Mary's fourth expedition to Classical, her head swelled so that her hat hardly fitted her and my-wasn't she dignified,-I ask you all? Mary could not help noticing how very insignificant the building was now, she entered it with all the airs of an owner. Bubblers had been installed on each floor, in the previous year, but one needed a neck like a giraffe's to quench one's thirst. Mary could hardly hear her- self think because of the noise in the preparation for the new fire doors. And what a change in the girls-it was hard to tell from the dress whether a student was a Freshman or a Senior. But of course, the dignined actions and the superior airs of- well, Mary knew the Seniors anyway. 24 CLASSIC MYTHS What a busy year this was to be, if one could judge from the beginning. Those elected to carry out the work of the most important organization in the world were: Charlie Whelan, Kiddo Phillips, Mary Horgan and Adrian Van Leeuwen. In the Assembly Hall one day, Mary was delighted to shout once more for the winning of the championship-this time, hockey. Kiddo Phillips and t'Sal1y Griff again were prominent, in fact, almost the whole team were of Mary's own class,- Helen Morriss, Helen Powers, Hary Tobin, Peg Coyle, Elly Palmer, Lena Germaine, and Mary Horgan. And oh, such cheering for them! Many of Mary's classmates made their debut in their Senior year at the Senior Dance. At the dance, a rumor was spread that Mrs. Tracey, the policewoman, was there, so everybody tried hard to identify her. Mary was a bit ignorant of what a policewoman might be. Certainly no person in a uniform was there-doubtless then she would be a very awe-inspiring person representing the true magistracy of the law. When the dance- was nearly over, Mary learned that the lady who, she thought was the policewoman was Mary Tobin's mother. This class made a strenuous efort toward financial independence. At most of the class meetings, the chairman of each committee gave a detailed account of the way in which the class could make money, all they had to do was to get 1,000 subscriptions for a magazine, to sell 250 tickets for a dance, or 500 tickets for a concert. Watch this space was a notice on the boards during the month of April. As May approached, Mary saw that the notice was changed to SENIOR PLAY, Worcester Theatre, May 4th, Of course, Mary was delighted to go. And how she did laugh at the increase in size of Charlie Whelan, as sheriil One would hardly recognize Walter Granger and his merry foresters and village maidens, as members of Mary's class. Everybody was especially pleased to see Mr. Post in the play. How he could write, coach, and act the play, Mary still marvels! Mary remarked to her sister that in the Spring a young man's fancy lightly turns to-well, Mary did not quite know. But at recess, she went over to Peg', Lawlor to ask her to go down stairs. Peg was talking to a tall boy who was not in the Senior class. Mary was completely ignored by the two. At the door of Room 4, Mary could hardly pass for Betty Budish and Lincoln Levinson were trying to agree with Rose Smolensky and Babe Slobin. When Mary went into Room 9, she could not imagine why Peg Coyle and Walter Granger should stand in one place while Kiddo Phillips and Charlie Whelan stood a little farther away from them. Mary concluded that they must have wanted to talk about something to which the others did not care to listen. And none of them seemed to want Mary! It was just at this time of the year too that Mary was impressed by Mr. Howe's eagerness for everyone to go to either North or South High-for the evening only. Mary went to North and really heard, as advertised, Boris Dephoure orate. When the last speaker in the rebuttal for Commerce spoke, Mary's hopes were a bit damp- CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 25 ened. But what shouting when the judges pronounced the verdict, Classical is guilty of winning this debate and must debate again. And to Mary's delight, she learned that at South High, the judges had pronounced the same sentence upon the Classical girls. For a time, there was not very much excitement for Mary. Then all of a sudden, so many things came together that Mary did not know where to go or what to do. Truly, Mary learned the meaning of the- phrase, 'Alt never rains but it pours. Well, one must attend to essentials, so Mary gave up studying. Class games, Senior Prom, Class Day, Class Banquet, Graduation-every day in Mary's social calendar was a red letter day. She almost began to be sorry that she was leaving such a gay place as Classical, until someone- suggested U. S. History, Chemistry, Geom. 4 and other lesser delights. But good and bad, all things end and so today Mary begins the end of her adven- tures in Classical. MARY E. HORGAN. 1925, Classical High School. ADRIAN VAN LEEUWEN Svvrhire in Glitizewahip ADRIAN J. VAN LEEUWEN Considering the great possibilities of service, We Seniors must appreciate that We have been immensely selfish, deeply self-interested. VVe have received all and given nothing in return. We have obtained the fruits of our parents' endless toil and worry, of their eternal vigilance and love. The state has given us our education. The United States of America has presented to us the privileges of equal opportunity, invincible security, and personal liberty. To a minute degree only have we repaid our parents with courtesy, honor, obedience, and love. We have given the state the small part of our time during which we have received our education. To the U. S. of A. We have pledged our allegiance, loyal to be sure, but still fruitless. Fellow-seniors, we have received much, returned but little. How overwhelming, then, does our debt appear to parents, to state, to society. We have acted like infants. All through our school life we have consumed immeasur- ably more than We have produced. Society allowed this ill-balance, but with a rea- son, and an excellent one. Not out of mere pleasure has society watched us consume the necessities of life. Rather, the vigil has been an anxious one. We are the investment of society. Until We gain our majority the return on the investment must be one of development. The productivity of the remaining portion of our lives is the material interest on the investment. Society's hope is that her investment will not fail to net fruitful and glorious returns. As the citizens of tomorrow, we ovve it to ourselves to succeed. We owe it to our parents, our state, and our country. The height of our suc- cess will be measured by the capacity and sincerity of our service. We must serve as we were served, generously and frankly. In the brief span of three years a majority of our company will be granted the sacred privileges of citizenship. To fully appreciate the responsibilities of citizenship we must first understand what citizenship is. Citizenship is an expression of service. Such service must be honest, fearless, unbiased,-for the good of all. It is the type 28 CLASSIC MYTHS which has been idealized by generations of true Americans. It is the spirit that is constantly being instilled in millions of immigrants to this country. Service was the very soul of Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, and Wilson, and it must be our ideal, 'to guide us through life. What finer ideal could a man or woman have than to serve this country to the limit. But let us perceive the issue clearly. We Seniors have been studying for a pur- pose. We have been instructed and aided for a purpose. To be frank, I don't believe that anyone of us has seriously considered that design. Bluntly, we have deliberately avoided the issue. Ours has been a rather dependent, leisured existence. We have argued, Why worry about something so far ahead in the misty future? And thus our latent sense of responsibility has remained static. But, fellow Seniors, the moment will soon come into our lives when we must take upon ourselves the responsibility that is rightly ours. We are soon to enter upon the privileges of citizenship. Right now we must determine the kind of citizens we are going to become. We can choose but from two distinct types. We may enjoy the gifts of our generous country, its security, its justice, its sta- bility-returning just as little in the line of service as possible. But if we perpetrate such selfishness and ingratitude, we become a choice collection of social leeches-a group menace to society. For example, the citizen who does not vote when possible, the patriotic gentleman who avoids the payment of due taxes, and the apparent paragons of virtue who secretly break the laws of our country, are out and out slackers-worthy of nothing less than deportation from our shores. Conversely, we may welcome as blessed privileges the- opportunities of our coun- try-performing every possible service placed in our paths. We may participate in politics, uplifting it by the cleanliness of our thought, the soundness of our reason, and the integrity of our action. Such an opportunity may present itself in our willing and incorruptible service in any office to which the people elect us. We may finally present on the altar of service the supreme sacrifice for our glorious country-our lives-to uphold and preserve to posterity the honor and integrity that should be hers. Examples of this type are unnecessary. In our own memories are pictures of those who will never come back from Flanders' Fields. They gave the supreme CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 29 service. Seniors, it remains with us to choose our type. We can be the siacker or the real American. Surely-our boys have not died in vain. Classmates of '25, we must carry on and upward the banner of citizenship which Americans have died to preserve. It is our job-our duty-and we sh,aI.l succeed. QQ mt? r fm mf 6 f y Luau?

Well, I wonder what's on the air tonight. Twists dials slowly with no result, then at a slight squawk from the instrument, he twirls them with desperation. Finally successful, he smiles with satisfaction and seats himelf listening to: , Station FOB, Detroit. Now ladies and gentlemen, as you all know, this is Classi- cal Night the world over. We have for this evening, a program which we think will fit the occasion, and, as our first number, will offer to you the bright spots of the recent 'Reunion of the Class of '25,' which took place in the new T. N. T. Sea Grill. These, in the form of short anecdotes. have been put in book form by a nationally known pub- lisher, Robert M. Eccles. The original title 'Bits of Dirt Here and There,' was changed to one 'Where Classical Lights Are Shining,' because of Mr. Eccles' aversion to anything as dry as dust. This is choice gossip, as you may suppose, and under no condition should be repeated. CHAPTER I. Civil action has developed between a local politician, Adrian Van Leeuwen and the Three M. Co., manufacturers of Mason's Magic Mud. The company ofiicials, Fran- ces Mintz, Bessie Melnikoff, and Blossom Mason claim their rights and privileges as mudslingers are being infringed upon. They base their claims upon the fact that though Mr. Van Leeuwen is a politician, his oratory is on much the same plane as that of an ordinary mudslinger. The corporation maintains a mud puddle in this city, where its ofiicers are known as people of not a few words. CHAPTER II. A short time ago a group of alumni, under the direction of Hyman Goodwin, put on an amateur circus known as 'The Lion's Roar,' for the benefit of Mr. Hearn's resus- citated gold fish. Under the management of Helen McNally and Delma Ames, the opposition of Mr. O'Flynn, who wished to claim the corpse for scientific purposes, was overcome. Fat Emma was portrayed by Emma Higgins. and under the same canvas Elizabeth Brigham held forth as the Bearded Woman. 'Eddie' Dowd, in his rendition of the African Juggler kept the audience in the air. The Sword Swallower, Royden Behmer, was unable to appear due to an attack of indigestion. As a substitute. the Human Skeleton, Harry Goldman, put on an entirely new act, 'How to Bite Off Your Own Ear? in one part. The Midgets, Harry Katzeff and Nathan Shreiar, were at- tired in white bonnets, pink rompers, and blue socks. William Ferguson gave a stellar performance as a bareback rider, impersonating a young lady so well, there is still some doubt as to whether or not it was an impersonationf' CHAPTER III. Lieuts. Levitsky and Porter, of the Paxton Naval Air Station and Chief Boat- swain's Mate Charles Ritter, stationed at the Boys' Club Pool. were selected by the naval department as pilots to accompany Commander 'Charley' Jaworski on his 'polar' 32 CLASSIC MYTHS expedition. The department expects it will require about two days for these men to complete painting the Hag-pole on the common. CHAPTER IV. 'fOne of the biggest upsets in fistic circles took place during the past year. 'Joe' Eagan, a prominent sporting editor, reporting from the ringside of Beaudette's Thirty Acres, awakened the world with the news that 'Battling Bruiser' Bailey beat 'Sweet Socker' Slobin. Bailey's handlers were 'Joe' Hardy, manager, 'Joe' Matulaitus and Adam Rasco, seconds. Slobin blames his manager, Morton Leach, and his seconds, William Anguria and 'Steve' Mina, for making him inhale ether between rounds. Per- sonally, we know his downfall was due to the essence of hel.iotrope from his supporters, the Spellmans, Grace and Mary, that went to his head. CHAPTER V. Margaret Coyle, former basketball star, has entered the business world as a manufacturer of cigar bands. An advertising squad with Joseph Alexshun and Isadore Kaufman at their head are covering the country with literature. The substance of it all seems to be in Miss Coyle's declaration that the purpose of a band on a cigar is to keep the rope from slipping. CHAPTER VI. The baseball season is now in full swing, so no doubt it will be of interest to know that 'Babe' Ruth is showing steady improvement, and is well on the road to re- covery. Miss Romanoff, as you probably remember, sustained a slight injury to her arches at the 1925 Senior Prom, but as yet we see they have not 'fallen' for her. Tiring of this the listener-in makes an attempt to bring in another station, causing a noisy interlude, ending with: 'fGood evening kiddies, this is Aunt Flossie from Station RSVP, and I am going to tell you a story tonight that's going to tickle your little-ittle hearts. I just know you small tots are just waiting to hear it. You see, I didn't know what kind of a story to tell, until I was reminded that we have Friday once every week. Then and there, I decided I'd tell 'A Fish Story' this evening. Once upon a time, dear children, three fishes lived in a far away river. They were named: Thoughtful Catherine Phillips, Very Thoughtful Mary Horgan, and Thoughtless Margaret Lawlor. One day they left the wild country in the neighborhood of Vernon Hill, where men are men and women are flappers, and came down the river Blackstone to live near a town named Millbury. Very Thoughtful said to the other two one fine morning, 'There is too much excitement about us here, Philip Post must be near. Danger also surrounds us, for land sharks like Francis Sullivan and Thomas Sweeney come to this river to catch poor fish with all sorts of 'lines.' Let us go back again to our playground, with Grandfather Goosey Gander Goldstein, where we used to frolic with the rabbit and duck boys, Sammie Bobtail Brunnell and Ralph Wibble Wobble Waterhouse. But the- other two fishes put it 0E from day to day, and finally, when Thoughtful Catherine Phillips and Thoughtless Margaret Lawlor were swimming one fine day, they rushed right into the net. which Catherine McGillicuddy discarded when she bobbed her hair. 'Oh, I must save them,' said Very Thoughtful Mary Horgan, hurrying OH to get CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 33 David Sardine Silverman and Jack Mackerel Malsterman. 'Oh, that such misfor- tune should fall upon us.' On the way she met Reinhart 'Oyster' Olsen and Norman 'Haddock' Hagopian, who were only too glad to help. 'Now for a plan to free our naughty friends,' they all chorused. 'I have it,' said Harry 'Salmon' Solomon, displaying more intelligence than usual. Follow me.' Plunk-Arrawk- 'Round Two! He is bleeding at the mouth! Heagney is spitting teethl' Squeal -G'rr-Eek- And away they went around the net, splashing water like fish, that had broken the law, and were going up the river for ten years.

The lure of distance reception attracts the operator who is experiencing difficulty with the set because of the strong speech which has preceded. He removes several parts and the set begins to function. This, my dear people, is the metropolitan station RFD broadcasting a dramatic criticism by Annabel Cramer. There is an abundance of summer shows on the 'boards' this season. One of the most notable is 'The Show-Ofl',' in which Miss Lena Mandell plays the lead. The man- agement, at first dubious as to its success, installed Helen Palmer in the pit to insure the star of a little applause. Miss Palmer's giggles are now a part of the repertoire. 'Abie's Irish Rose,' now in its fourth year, continues to draw well. It is small wonder, when we realize the stars in this short colorful comedy are Abraham Mencow and Rose Smolensky. Among the revivals we have 'Uncle Tom's Bungalowf which sports a company of present day stars. 'Uncle Tom' is amply portrayed by Harry Tarlowsky. He earned this role because of his previous position as the Classical manager who always prayed for victory. In the first act, the bloodhounds were brought in and allowed to smell Liza's compact. Immediately they saw red, and started in pursuit of Bertha Segel. 'Little Eva,' in the person of 'Horse-play' Cohen has been ascending every day regu- larly and, because of his experience, is being sought as an aviator. The only actor of the entire cvompany who plays. a dual role is Wilfred Comeau. The part of 'Topsy' was allotted to him, for the simple reason he is the only one in the entire company whose head has not swelled beyond the proportions of a wig, while his ability 'to 'treat 'em rough and make 'em like it' won for him the position as the heartbreaking nail chewer, 'Simon Legreef A play that will surely please the children is this 'Peter Panf The leading part of the 'Pan' is played by Louis Payne, who is indeed the 'big noise.'

Kumin and Krock were fined S10 and costs to- day by Judge Ethel Hurwitz. Court Ofiicer Barnet Jasem states that Kumin was observed winking and causing a general uproar during the entire time Miss Betty Budish was on the stand. While Krock, he says, persisted in making faces at all the witnesses. The question the jury is pondering over is whether or not Krock was responsible. Cruelty to Animals-A peculiar case was brought to light today, when the Misses Brunmark and Henry were summoned into court by Dog Ofiicer Ernest Freedberg. It seems the two prisoners returned to the scene of their former school days and 'were caught in a wholesale substitution of dog biscuits for the soda crackers used at the school lunch counter. 'fC'aw'4'ying a Domgeroius Weapon--Mr. William Niman was booked yesterday on a charge of carrying a dangerous weapon. Some sly sleuthing by Detective Lieutenant James Slattery of Central Oflice revealed a compact case, a lip stick, and an eye brow pencil on Niman's person. The prisoner claimed they were planted, but was unable to prove from what kind of seed. He paid a small fine. Neglect Chrtrge-Boris Dephoure, age unknown, of 5 Liberty Street, this city, was arrested last night on a warrant charging neglect 'to support, by Patrolmen Charles Grace and Theodore Perry of Station XIII. The complainant was Mr. Dephoure's pet canary To-to, whose voice has cracked because of lack of seed. Violation of Light Law-Miss Lena Germain was fined S55 in lower court this morning for parking without lights. Town Constable John Cook claimed he found her car parked in a shaded nook on the road to Oakdale. A young man present at the time refused to give his name, and claimed he was just trying to repair a tire. He took pains to explain that there was dust on his shoulder, not powder, as the ofiicer suspected. This concludes our broadcast for this period. I wish to take the opportunity to thank you one and all, and to Wish the class of 1925 all possible success in dodging the thorns of life as you buffet the waves of the wide, wide World. HAZEL V.

KUMIN Uhr Jlvtniah Glnntrihutinn in Qlllnilrrn Iliteraturv IRVING R. KUMIN It would be a very difficult task to describe the great influence which the Jews have exercised on the literature of the entire world. For more than three thousand years, the Jews have not only shared all the great developments of humanity's intellectual life, but have blended therein their own views and individuality. The culture of the Jews is bound up with that of the world from the beginning of civilization to modern times. In its earliest period, Israel gave to the world its greatest contribution to humanity- the Bible, which has for centuries remained without peer in the entire field of litera- ture. Through all the ages the Bible has been the richest source of inspiration to the poets and writers of every nation. Few modern works exist that are not born of Bibli- cal problems and Biblical themes. The literary genius of every race has been distinctly influenced by this master work. The sages who produced the early Jewish literature, belonging to a race having naturally keen perceptions and an intensely emotional temperament, were quick to reflect, in their writings, everything that touched their feelings, or that bore directly upon their practical wants. The earliest Hebrew narratives, accordingly, are full of human interest, while the poetry, decidedly lyrical in quality, is rich in color, in pictures of nature, and in personal feeling. These same praiseworthy characteristics of the Ancient Hebrew Literature, we find pre-eminently in the contributions which come to-day from the pens of our contemporary Jewish writers. Their poetry is still marked by an insight into man and nature, their criticisms, by exactness of observation, and their novels and histories, by sympathy and understanding. In the field of criticism today, the Dean of the greater Jewish writers is George Brandes. His interpretations of Shakespeare, of Ibsen, and of many of the modern authors rank high. His study of Poland and the Polish people, one of his latest works, shows his excellent insight into the home life, the literary groups, and the political conditions existing in that country. George Jean Nathan, another prominent Jewish writer and one of the best known critics of the American theatre, has but recently pub- lished his Materia Critica, a volume of brilliant, sparkling criticism of plays and books. Keeness of perception and power of analysis mark the- work of both of these critics. These same qualities are seen, also, in the works of the Jewish playwrights of this period. In practically every instance these men have made themselves conspicuous as writers of plays of purpose or problem plays. Arthur Schnitzler's Professor Bern- hardi, which deals with the matter of racial antagonism arising in medical circles, is perhaps his most earnest and convincing play. It is a clever combintion of psychology, 42 CLASSIC MYTHS pathos, and problem, presented in a light and graceful style. Sir Arthur Wing Pinero, who introduced the practice among English dramatists of publishing their plays in book form, is without doubt one of the greatest playwrights England has produced in the past century. He has been called the Franz Listz of the Dramaf, His distinction lies in his understanding of his audience and in his ability to adapt what he has 'to say to stage presentation. The Second Mrs. Tanquerayj' Iris, and Mid-Channel, are some of his most noted and best works. These plays, too, present a problem and give excellent pictures of the manners of the time. Pinero, who died only recently, has been succeeded by Alfred Sutro, whose skill lies in his smart dialogue and genuine char- acters. t'The Laughing Lady is one of his latest works. Better known, no doubt, than any of those mentioned is Israel Zangwill's play, The Melting Pot. The setting of the play is the United States and the theme is the assimilation of all the races in a new man, the American. Best known to the American public are the contemporary Jewish novelists, English and American, and their contributions to our literature. The British novelists, Leon- ard Merrick, Frank Swinnerton, and Israel Zangwill are three of the best of the pres- ent day writers. Merrick is one of the most brilliant and entertaining of the younger novelists. He has written many excellent books, among them, Conrad in Quest of His Youth and 'tThe Quaint Companions. The Quaint Companions is his latest, his strongest, his most significant, and in many ways his finest book. So strong is Mer- rick's appeal to his fellow-novelists that J. M. Barrie says of him: t'There is no one with a greater art of telling a story, if that art consists in making us forever wonder what we are to find on the next. page. Frank Swinnerton, too, has written many worth-while novels. His most famous work is 'tNocturne. H. G. Wells, in his intro- duction to this work, confesses a great fondness for Swinnerton because of his vigorous style and his remarkable ability at characterization. Swinnerton's latest novel, Young Felix, an engaging character study, most delicately presented, reveals the author's rich human insight and his keen, subtle humor. Zangwill, already mentioned as a dra- matist, is also a ranking Jewish novelist of to-day. A delightful word painter, he is hailed by all critics as an author of the first. quality. His 'tChildren of the Ghetto is a vivid and appealing story of Jewish life in London. He depicts life in the over- crowded Ghetto districts with squalor and superstition on one hand, and the ardent desire for knowledge and for beautiful family life on the other. In this novel Israel Zangwill has painted the inner soul of his people as no one has done before him. Of the Jewish novelists in the United States, we are perhaps most proud of Mary Antin and Edna Ferba. Mary Antin has written several novels and many short stories, but by farrher greatest work is The Promised Land. This is the story of her own life and the life of her family, first in Russia and later in the United States. It is with a tightening of the heart-strings that we read her graphic account of the hardships endured by the Russian Jew, and of the deep yearning with which he looks to our country as a haven of rest, as indeed a Promised Land, Howing with the milk of human CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL 43 kindness, and with the honey of brotherly love and understanding. The human pathos and joy of the tale, and the simple, direct charm of her vivid style, make this book de- cidedly a favorite. Of Edna Ferber, little need be said. Her book, 'fSo Big, has recently been awarded the Pulitzer prize for being' the best American novel of 1924. This novel is clean, thoughtful, and strong, dramatic at times, interesting and sym- pathetic always, it is a novel to be read and to be remembered. Unlike Mary Antin, Edna Ferber takes for her theme a young American and his life in a mid-Western city. Like the Jewish playwrights, she sends to us in her novel a definite message,-the mes- sage, that without beauty in life, all is naught, and that money is really of no use to us unless with it we do something to lighten the burdens and brighten the lives of others. Of this novel, which unquestionably puts her into the first rank of American novelists, one critic has said: Edna Ferber has achieved a twentieth century master- piece, a novel which is as much a classic of the United States as Hawthorne's 'Scarlet Letterf The honor of having produced a masterpiece cannot be claimed by all of the Jew- ish writers already mentioned. However, they, like the Jew in his literature for the past three thousand years, may claim to have added to our contemporary literature pictures of real, convincing life, characters that are taken without caricature or with- out idealism from life itself, and a style that is light, lucid, graceful, and brilliant. By so doing, they have helped, for another generation, to keep alive their race now scat- tered among the countries of the world, for no nation will die while its intellectual strength remains. WILFRED J. COMEAU Flhr Amvriran Olnllegv nf En-img W. J. COMEAU, JR. A graduate of an American College had returned from Europe after spending a summer supplying the polish to his education. Of course, you went through the Louvre? a friend questioned. You bet, was the reply. t'Did it in an hour and a half, but if l'd had my track outfifit along I could have done it in an hour' flat. True or not, the story indicates a spirit scarcely less preposterous than that in which the undergraduate of to-day races through college toward his degree of A.B. A four-year course actually covers but twenty-eight months or a little more 'than two years of actual academic labor. Even assuming' that the average student improves each golden hour, it is difiicult to understand how he can have finished with a 'thorough education. Yet thousands of men manage to cover the ground every year and are awarded their degrees,-degrees which solemnly admit them to the fellowship of edu- cated men. As a rule, the teaching staff is allowed on an average only three fifty-minute lec- tures a week over a period of seven months for the presentation of their subjects which usually encompass a large field. The courses, however, have now much larger fields of variance than ever before. The subject matter and the method of presentation are much more interesting than they used to be. He is a dull professor, indeed, who cannot hold the attention of his class for at least fifty minutes. Nevertheless, the average undergraduate allots to it only one-quarter of his study time. The result inevitably is congestion and indigestion. It is a pity! It is an absurdity! The thing cannot be done. It isn't. Leaving out the exceptionally brilliant student, this ground can be cov- ered in only two ways-by hard continued plugging or by cramming. Neither method produces the result it should. For the- plugger this work is a professiong he goes at it in that spirit. With few exceptions, these marks are acquired only after extraordinary effort tending to a narrowing of interest not altogether wholesome. The quality which carries the leader over the dam is that of being fully alive, of being on his toes. But with the exception of those stirred either by necessity or some definite ambition, most undergraduates are a rather indifferent lot. The bulk of their interests is outside the classroom-in social and fraternity life, or on the athletic field. They are, however, neither stupid nor lazy, nor altogether indiierent toward their academic workg but their dominant interest is elsewhere. Within certain limits they are eager to know, willing to study, but with only these relatively few months at their disposal, the like of which they will never see again- they do not propose to sacrifice too much time to grinding. But trust to youth to und a way out. That they have met the enemy and conquered him is proved by the fact that they graduateg not knowing, when they choose, more than the graduates of other days. They have been forced by the time element to develop a system of their own. With life buzzing all around them and pressed by a stiffer schedule, they are left with no alternative but to devise short cut methods and to use their wits. And this is just what they do, although by honest means. On the whole, they are fairer in the way 46 CLASSIC MYTHS they meet the challenge than some of their fathers were. Traiiic in examination papers between printer and students and like dishonest expedients were commonly practiced in the past. Very little of this is seen in the colleges of to-day. The standard of honor on this point is undoubtedly higher. Furthermore such devices are not necessary. The well- to-do have access to private tutors and seminars, old refuges, but now developed to a high degree of efficiency. Honor students acting as coaches, given any one short of a dunce, can almost certainly jam a student through a crisis. Nevertheless, the idea still persists that the American academic college is a place to which young people go in search of knowledge. The idea is true, but its truth is not quite the truth that the majority of people believe it to be. The American college is an educational institution. It is a place to which young people go in search of knowl- edge, but the education has infinitely less to do with the practical end of Latin, Greek, Hindu philosophy than many believe. For it is not the ability to summon. up a catalogue of facts that marks the edu- cated man from the uneducated, it is the capacity to use facts and see their relation. When did the battle of Ekmiihl take place or who was Niccolo Uzzano may be required in a course, but after the examination it becomes so much deadwood. Four years of ploughing through courses and sifting of facts, bring out significant relations and the earnest student begins to see more clearly some of the outstanding problems which face his generation. If he has got this much out of his college course, he has got all that may be expected of him, for' by the strength of his vision he is an educated man. Upon him will fall the burden of the world's affairs and in so far as he leaves them better than he found them, by so much has he justified his education. SO CHQTHCQS f tax 955. Z?

Then there were the chairmen of committees which seem as important as other responsible olficers of the club. Mathilde Carroll consented to serve as manager of the musical part of programs. Myra Killeen attends to the decorating with skill and faithfulness. Mae Tumosa is thoroughly business-like in her oversight of refresh- ments, and no one could handle tickets and invitations better than Clair Spencer has done. She has prepared artistic invitations for all teachers, and shown a regard for the good taste of that department of a social event. The year has been a good one. The officers have accepted responsibility as a sacred charge. Not one has been lax or uninterested. A teacher looking through the window at one of the sessions said, How dignified and wholly business-like the ses- sions are. With few lapses the programs have been regular. Four debates have been pre- pared during the year, requiring four to six disputants. The questions discussed were as follows: Resolved: That the home of to-day is as productive of family unity and individual happiness and progress as the home of fifty years ago. Resolved: That the newspapers of to-day are a more varied means of education than those of an earlier generation. Resolved: That the Negro has a greater claim upon the consideration of the United States government because of civil and legal injustices than the Indian. Resolved: That in view of our modern unifying influences we are likely to sudfer more from an extreme individualism than from too great a disposition to follow lead- ership. The most frequent form of self-expression has been the declamation, or interpretive public speaking. Our preference for this form of practice is because of the chance it gives for individual improvement. Even freshmen can enter as possible candidates for the annual try-outs, which have in view the selection of two prize speakers. But what is more gratifying, is that many take part for their own improvement and with little hope of making the team. At the annual speaking contest in early April our program was as follows: A British Tribute to Lincoln, Gertrude Chitow, The Escape of the Son of Louis XVI, Irene Skeist, Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata, Anna Donahnet 'tThe Song of the Unsuccessfulf' Frances Forman, Memorial to the Boys of '61, Lillian Cohen, NThe Sacrifice of Abraham, Bertha Segel, The Prima Donna, Louise Herrick, The Shep- herdess of Lorraine, Lena Mandell, A Prisoner in the Caucasus, Margaret.

Miss Hunt, the sponsor of this society, has worked hard and constantly to instil into her girls a spirit, non-partisan and co-operative. Under her leadership, the pur- pose of the society has grown into one of general service.

BOYS' DECLAIMING TEAM BOYS' DEBATING TEAM 'Bugs' Jlntrr-I-Iigh Errlamatinn Qlnntrat On Monday evening, December 15, 1924, nineteen boys entered the preliminary try-outs for the declaiming team. Of these, ten were chosen for the final elimination which was held on Friday evening, December 19th, in a public meeting of the Debating Assembly. The judges, Professor Harold H. Wade of Worcester Academy, and Attys. Joseph H. Talamo and Stanley Milton selected the following boys to represent Classi- cal in the inter-high declamation contest: William Niman, captain, and Charles Whelan. The alternates were Milton Weed and Michael Abelsky. 'On the evening of February 20, 1925, at South High School, those interested in public speaking saw our boys win a third leg on the Worcester Evevziozg Post Cup. If the speakers next year are as excellent as these boys, Classical can be well assured of winning' the fourth and final leg of the trophy, as a result of which the cup will be ours permanently. There is no doubt that our team was far superior to those of the other high schools. In the race for the individual prize, Charles Whelan was the win- ner with William Niman a close second. The selections were Page's A Soldier of the Empire, by Charles Whelan, and Wilson's The War of Service, by William Niman. Much deserved praise should go to our worthy coach, Mr. Perry Howe, who spent much time training the winning team, and credit is also due to the alternates, who were fully prepared to substitute had the necessity arisen. Uhr Amherst Ginn Brhate TEAM Boris Dephoure, Captain Nathan Mintz Philip B. Miller Albert L. Hall, AltC1 1mi'e Coaches, Mr. Howe, Mr. Brennan The preliminary debate of the 1925 series of the Amherst Cup Debates was held April 6th in the the North High Hall on the question, Resolved: That. the Permanent Court of International Justice is essential to world peace. The affirmative was upheld by the High School of Commerce and the negative by Classical. The Classical 'team won a unanimous victory with the capable assistance of Albert Hall, who replaced Nathan Mintz, who was taken ill a few days before the debate. The Hnal debate was held in the Commerce High Hall, May 25th. The question which was very o11e-sided, read, Resolved: That the President of the United States should be elected for a term of six years and should be ineligible for re-election. The Classical team had the almost impossible task of convincing the judges of the affirma- tive, while the North team had nothing to do but laud the present government. The decision, made on the question not the debate, was a sad mistake as far as merit 'was considered, and to the amazement of the audience and the North team itself, North won. The boys of the team, and the coaches, Mr. Brennan and Mr. Howe, who gave freely of their time and effort in many hours of tiresome research work, are deserving of the highest commendation. It is to be hoped that fortune will smile on Classical again next year and thus mitigate the disappointments which have pursued the debat- ing team for the past few years. GIRLS' DE CLAIMING TEAM GIRLS' DEBATING TEAM Ctirla' Zlntvr-thigh Srhnnl Errlamatinn Glnntrat The girls' inter-high school declamation contest is a most popular afair, and places on the team are eagerly sought. Classical's finest girl speakers try for the team and we are always sure that the best ones will be finally chosen. Early in April the first elimination contest was held in which eighteen girls took part. Each girl spoke her lines easily and well, and it was only after much consulta- tion that the judges, Mr. Bodurtha, Miss Peirce, and Mr. McKinley, made 'their choices. Six girls of the eighteen were chosen, Lillian Cohen, Bessie Melnikoff, Lena Mandell, Frances Mintz, Helen Mason, and Louise Herrick. Some days later, these six girls spoke before Miss Dodge, Mr. O'Flynn, and Mr. Howe in the second elimination contest. The selections chosen by the girls were for the most part classical ones. The judges found their task a very hard one, but finally chose Lillian Cohen, captain, Bessie Melnikoff, and Lena Mandell, alternate. The team worked faithfully, preparing for the contest. They gave the best they had to their school and gained the commendat-ion of every person in the hall. However, the decision was a tie between North and South High Schools. The individual prize was given to Eva Macklin of South High School. It was a bit of a disappointment, but our girls proved themselves the sports they are. We were proud of them and feel that it would have been quite impossible to represent Classical better. Ctirla' Zlnivr-high Svrhnnl Ephedra May 25th is starred in the history of 1925, for that day brought back to Classical the Women's Club Cup. Classical is the first school to win twice this cup, which must be won four times for permanent. possession. The team this year, Elizabeth Budish, captain, Lena Mandell, Anna Anguria, with Frances Mintz and Vera Glixman, alternates, won the preliminary debate over North the night of April 6th. Our girls defended the adirmative of the question, '4Resolved: That the Permanent Court of International Justice is essential to world peace, and was the only aiiirmative to win. The decision was unanimous on the first debate, as it was in the second against the Commerce girls on the question, Resolved: That the President should have a term of six years, and should be ineligible for re-election. The uniform excellence of the Classical deliverance and more especially their keen- ness in rebuttal explained the generous support of both faculty and student body. This championship team, of 1925, had three representatives, Elizabeth Budish, Lena Man- dell, Frances Mintz, and two excellent allies from 1926, Anna Anguria and Vera Glix- man. Anna's cool confidence, Lena's brilliant delivery, and Elizabeth's masterly re- sourcefulness would win any debate, more especially if they had the added advice of many hours of hard work from Vera Glixman, and the experienced directness in rebut- tal of Frances Mintz. True appreciation of the hours of hard work and worry on the part of our coaches, Miss Shaughnessy and Mr. McKinley can never be given. Both debates have proved by the clearness of argument that the coaching played no mean part in the victories. Cer- tainly Classical is not surprised that, with teams coached by these members of our faculty, it received the vote of each judge. ARGUS BOARD Eh? Argua The good ship Argus has made its iifth annual voyage, and has brought home to sunny shores a hull filled to the decks with literary fame. The staff has not been con- tent to bask in the warm sunlight of a shining reputation shed by previous luminaries, but has achieved literary success in its own right, which has rivaled, if not surpassed, all precedents. As editor-in-chief, Robert Eccles has indeed proved himself a capable executive, one ever present with a guiding hand on the helm, a buttress in the storm. From his pen have flowed concise editorials, which though vigorous, to say the least, have strengthened the bonds of friendship between student and faculty on a common ground of proven merit, outside the classroom. The literary department, the first to feel the increase in Work which followed the paper's expansion from twenty-four pages to twenty-eight pages, has been enlarged so that the literary editors are now four in number. To them, we owe much for our popularity among people outside the school who do not know us as individuals, but who are enabled to appreciate our work through the medium of poems and short stories. Three of the other departments have also been enlarged, and one long felt need has been gratified in the addition of a staif artist. The novelty of the year was. the Humorous Number. That the innovation was a success, was due in its entirety to the editor of Tickle-Toes, Joel Levenson, who as- sumed the role of editor-in-chief for the occasion. The cover was in blue and white and contained a suggestive cartoon by the art editor. A word must here be said in ap- preciation of the splendid spirit. shown by the faculty in forsaking its own number until next year, and by so doing making the new venture possible. We are very grate- ful. The Directory Number, a previous innovation which met with great favor, was repeated for this year. This met with approval among many students, who no longer peruse telephone books on solitary evenings for the address of a favored one. Towards the mid-year, Mr. McKinley felt the pressure created by debating and the Argus to be too great a strain. It was a hard blow when he decided to cast his lot with the debaters, but good fortune attended, and swift recovery was forthcoming at the announcement. that Miss Bro-w'n and Miss Watson stood ready to pick up the broken threads. The financial success enjoyed by the Argus is the result of hard. work by Mr. Arey and his corps of assistants who have proven themselves excellent collectors as well as untiring workers in their pursuit of ads. The one to whom we feel we owe the most is that indefatigable fairy godmother of the Argus, Miss Williams. It has been through her efforts that the paper has a rec- ord of five proud years behind itg because of her capable supervision, and her interest in it, we extend our hand, as a class, in sincere thanks and appreciation.

Levenson Sfrninr Bramaiira HAWTHORNE AND HOLLYBERRIES On the night of May 4th, the antiquated boards of the Worcester Theatre echoed with the cries of Robin Hood's merry band which filled the forest of Sherwood in the England of the fourteenth century. The play combined a true historic background with a portrayal of country life and superstition. The mysterious element kept the audience in suspense throughout, and the revelation and restoration of King Richard and others brought a happy ending for all. Mr. Post, in the triple role of author, coach, and actor, gave the best in every line. His reputation as an actor was strongly confirmed in the minds of all who saw him in the character of Old Hob, a cobbler, born at the age of forty-six with his apron on, possessing an uncommonly deep af- fection for the girl who calls him Grandfather, The part of Alice, played by Gertrude Levine, was rendered with much charm and sweetness. Truly she was sometimes seven, sometimes seventeen, sometimes seventy, and sometimes all at the same time. As the cobbler's pride and joy, she was very lively and happy, and when she was called upon to be a gentlewoman, she was calm, contained, brilliant and, interesting. One could not wish for a finer character, or a sweeter girl than Miss Levine was in this role. Her acting was superb, with a polish rarely found in such a young actress. No less. can be said of George Plante in. the leading role. His portrayal of Longsword was indeed one that could not be surpassed by a professional. As the mysterious stranger, he played his part to perfection. His suaveness was just the characteristic to calm the ruffled Waters of the Sheriff's irritable nature. It was he who cleared away all the mysteries and claimed Alice as his royal sister. James Kazatchin, as Friar Tuck, played cleverly the character of the boisterous thirsty priest. Bessie Melnikof was also very natural in her part of Maid Marian, Queen of Sherwood. Much credit must also be given the village children, six pupils from Midland Street School, who co-operated to make the play a success. As no Countess could be found among Classical's fair sex, Mr. Post called upon Miss Mae Lynch, a former graduate. She made an ideal countess. The other members of the cast were as fol- lowsi Village Children, William Hall, Margaret Ferguson, Ethel Fritsz, and Philip Atwood, Little John, Harold Wells, Village Maids, Fannie Fairhope, Louise Herrick, Meg Whitehorn, Rosamond Dowd, Belle White, Edna Greeko, Annie Newmarch, Faith Freeland, Bess Bundy, Flora Fergenso-n, Rose Ashdown, Helen Powers, Other Maids, Sylvia Berman, Matilde Carroll, Ruth Leavitt, Edythe Tavel, Ruth Sauter, Irene Bur- wickg Foresters, Royden Behmer, Allan Ashton, Rzobert Kenney, Floyd Anderson, Barnet Jasem, David Kaplan, Murdock Newman, Hymen Goodwin, Morris Golden- berg, Edwin Rabinowitz, and Adrian Silver, a Village Lad, Paul Johnson, Hugh, the sheriE's son, William Ferguson. GI. 1-I. Sv. Erhaiing Aaavmhlg The past year has been one of the most prosperous and successful since the or- ganization of the C. H. S. Debating Assembly. There is such an interest in the club that many are still on the waiting list, pending admission. On the evening of November 7th, the Assembly presented a Mock Trial before a highly entertained audience. With the help of Mr. Newton and Mr. Howe, the farce went over big and likewise placed the Assembly on a firm financial basis. The third leg of the Worcester Evening Post Cup was won by the declamation team, in the contest at South High, February 20th. Individual honors were won by Charles Whelan. The team was chosen from nineteen aspirants in two elimination contests. In the finals the judges, Professor Wade of Worcester Academy, Attorney Joseph H. Talamo, and Attorney Stanley Milton, selected the team, Captain William Niman, second, Charles Whelan, alternates, Milton Weed and Michael Abelsky. The Edward Bergen prize was won by William Niman. At the Lyford contests held at Colby Colle-ge, Charles Whelan and William Niman were awarded third and fourth places respectively. This is the first time in the history of the Assembly that both representatives have placed among the highest. The trials for the Amherst Cup Debating team were held in like manner with Messrs. Howe and Brennan as judges. From a group of candidates numbering thirty, after two elimination contests, the team was chosen: Captain, Boris Delphoure, Philip Miller, Nathan Mintz, and Albert Hall, alternate. In the first contest, held April 6th, Classical triumphed over Commerce with a unanimous decision. In this debate, Albert Hall substituted for Nathan Mintz, who was ill. In the second Amherst Cup Debate, with North High, Classical was defeated by a unanimous decision of the judges. The question was one of national importance and our boys, after several weeks of untiring efort, with the help of the faculty ad- visers, were able to present a strong argument. However, the judges were not con- vinced, Classical was forced to taste defeat. The ofiicers for the first term were: president, William Niman, vice-president, Charles Whelan, secretary, Adrian Van Leeuweng treasurer, Nathaniel Slobing chair- man of executive committee, Wilfred Comeau, chairman of membership committee, Irving Kumin. The officers for the second term were: president, Boris Dephoureg vice-president, Lester Cramer, secretary, Abraham Mencowg treasurer, Hirsh Freed, chairman of executive committee, Irving Kuming chairman of membership committee, Samuel Posner. At the final meeting of the year, the program, devoted entirely to seniors, was greatly applauded. The seniors of the Assembly were given a hearty farewell. At the same time, the Assembly showed its appreciation of Mr. Brennan's work with the debating team by presenting him a gift in the form of cuf links. The Assembly is especially grateful to Messrs. Howe and Brennan and to the members of the faculty who in any way have given it aid. President Vice-President Secretary Uhr Svtuhrni Glunuril The Student Council has taken on an increasingly greater importance this year. The accomplishments of this student body of representatives have by no means been trivial, as results have shown. The officers elected for the year were: president, Charles S. Whelan, Room 4g vice-president, Albert L. Hall, Room 9, secretary, Katherine Phillips, Room 9. Owing to the heavy extra-curricula activities, Mr. Whelan was forced to resign, and Philip Miller was elected president. The first regular meeting of the year was held October lst, Mr. Arey spoke on collecting money for the Argus. A committee to investigate the subject of school cleanliness was appointed and a board of news-runners was chosen for the year. On December 5th, a meeting was called to make final plans for Parents' Night. The members were instructed in their duties as ushers that evening. Mr. Porter spoke about his trip to Deerfield Academy and the warm welcome he received there. The Student Council held another meeting December 16th. Miss Dodge presented the program for Alumni Day, and tickets for the Alumni Dance were distributed to the members. Mr. Porter expressed his appreciation of the overwhelming success of Parents' Night. The present cleanliness marking system was officially adopted. Mr. Porter's proposal to take up a collection for the benefit of a worthy alumnus was over- whelmingly approved. A short meeting of the Student Council was held December 22nd, when the mem- bers were assigned duties for Alumni Day, and returns were made on the sale of tickets for the Alumni Dance. Mr. Porter expressed his appreciation of the Council's co-operation in raising the fund for the needy alumnus. When the Student Council held a meeting February 5th, Adrian Van Leeuwen spoke on the musical travelogue, to be presented by the senior class, urging the sup- port of the Council in making it a success. Then the subject of traffic control was brought before the Council for discussion. A committee was finally appointed to look further into the subject and report at a later meeting. Many important questions came up for consideration at the meeting of the Stu- dent Council held March 16th. The providing of uniforms for the Classical High Band was undertaken. After heated discussion, it was decided not to enlarge the present trafiic squad, but the members of the squad were instructed to watch carefully for any change in the traffic situation. The election of council members, as expounded in the Argus, was also discussed. A regular meeting of the Student Council was held April 23rd. Charles Whelan and William Niman spoke on the school play. Afterwards, councillors were requested to boost the play in their' rooms. After a great deal of discussion, a motion was passed for the appointment of a committee to confer with the faculty on drawing up a constitution. Conduct at school dances was also discussed. The senior members are Katherine Phillips, Frances Mintz, Lena Mandell, Boris Dephoure, Mary Horgan, Margaret Bradshaw, and Joseph Matulaitis. ' x Chirla ZIIITPI'-Q,llEI55 Erhatva The girls' interclass debates of this year formed a most interesting series. The first debate was between the juniors and freshmen. Their question read, Resolved: That the payment of subsidy for the encouragement and upbuilding of the United States Merchant Marine is expedient. The negative was upheld by the juniors, who won a unanimous decision over the freshmen. The junior team consisted of Lillian Cohen, captain, Vera Glixman, Sylvia Goldman, the freshmen were Edythe Kumin, captain, Anna Kosciuzko, and Mary' Jones. The senior-sophomore debate proved to be the feature of the series. The sopho- more team, consisting of Anna Anguria, captain, Eva Hurwitch, and Sadie Wolk, up- held the aflirmative of the question, Resolved: That Congress be empowered to re- enact legislation over an adverse ruling of the Supreme Court, against the senior team: Frances Mintz, captain, Flora Fergenson, and Rose Smo ensky. After an ex- ceedingly heated argument over a misunderstanding in a previous agreement on a certain phase- of the question, the under-classmen were awarded a unanimous. decision. However, a strong argument was presented by both sides, and the debaters merited much credit. In the final debate, the sophomores again won over their older rivals in the negative of the question, Resolved: That it is advisable that the exercise of franchise be made compulsory under penalty, In this debate the outstanding speakers were Vera Glixman for the juniors, and Anna Anguria for the sophomores. A one-to-two decision was awarded. Bugs' Ilnter-0112155 Erhatva A great interest was manifested through the series. On Monday, November 10th, the freshman-junior boys debated the question, Resolved2 That the United States government should own and operate the coal mines within its borders. The freshman team, upholding the affirmative, consisted of Nathan Mintz, Charles Olson, Harold Seder, captain, and Louis Shapiro, alternate. The junior team, upholding the nega- tive, consisted of Samuel Stayman, Albert Hall, Ernest Freedberg, captain, and Robert Moss, alternate. The judges, Miss Fitzpatrick, Mr. Howe, and Mr. Bodurtha, ren- dered a 2 to 1 decision in favor of the freshmen. The debate was a close one through- out, and well merited a split decision. The debate between the sophomores and seniors was held on Monday, November 17th. The subject was, Resolved: That the proposed child labor amendment to the constitution of the United States should be adopted in its present form. The senior team, which upheld the affirmative, was as follows: Abraham Mencow, Adrian Van Leeuwen, William Niman, captain, and Samuel Posner, alternate. The sophomore team, which argued for the negative, consisted of Hirsh Freed, Milton Goldberg, Milton Weed, captain, and Richard Marden, alternate. The judges, Miss Fitzpatrick, Mr. Hearn, and Mr. Howland, voted 2 to 1 in favor of the seniors. The final debate for the boys' championship was held on Monday, December 15th, between the senior and freshman teams. The question was, f'Resolved: That a federal department of education should be created, with its secretary a member of the President's cabinet constitutionally granted. The freshmen, upholding the affirma- tive, won a 2 to 1 decision. The judges were Miss Henderson, Mr. O'Regan, and Mr. Bodurtha. Uhr Elggthagnrvan Gllnh Through the beneflcent and skilful aid of its faculty adviser, Miss Pierce, the Pythagorean Club has enjoyed, this year, the largest membership in its history. The scholarship of the club is, as it always has been, of the highest grade. Many of the members are Horace Mann students. The meetings are held on the third Wednesday of every month, and during this year they have been extremely beneficial to all those present. Prepared topics about different kinds of mathematical proofs and theorems, lantern slides on the develop- ment of the ancient number system, and numerous other interesting subjects have been given and discussed. In accordance with the interesting programs, the attendance has been large. Unless in some way incapacitated, the members have always been present. The Pythagorean Club has seen Ht to adopt a motto, one that is quite emblematic of its aim, A figure and a step forward, not a figure and a florinf' The society also has a pin, star-shaped, on which is inscribed Pythagorean Club, Classical, and the Greek letters on the five points of the star spell Health The officers of the club are: President, Mary Horgang first vice-president, Ida Griffg second vice-president, David Silverman, secretary, Abraham Mencowg treasurer, John Cummings, chairman of the program committee, Helen Russell. Uhr iirnnnmiw Qlluh The Economics Club, established to create an interest in national and civic prob- lems among the students, has been very successful in its aims during the last few years. Unfortunately, the club began its activities rather late this year, however, the interest- ing programs more than made up for the late beginning. On February 22nd, the first meeting was held and the ofiicers for the ensuing year were elected: Adrian Van Leeuwen, president, Mary McGuiggan, vice-president, Mary Prendergast, secretary, and Allerton Cushman, treasurer. Mr. Rice was again chosen faculty adviser, and with his store of knowledge on eco- nomic problems, he made the meetings more than interesting. At the club meetings many questions of national and international interest were finally settled UD after lively sessions in which both the pros and cons were discussed by the entire club. It is expected that the club will begin its activities earlier next year and that the meetings will be more interesting than ever. Uhr Svrirnrr Qlluh Again the Science Club has had a year of popularity. The large membership is due to the plan, initiated last year, which permits anyone interested in science, regard- less of whether he is taking or has taken any scientific course, to become a member. Interesting and instructive programs have made the meetings enjoyable, and as a result, a rapid increase in membership has been the rule. Something of a novelty has been introduced this year in the form of a debate on the question, Resolved: That the United States should adopt chemical warfare for the purpose of defense. For the first time in the history of the club, a debate was part of the program, and because of its success, there will be another in the future. The club was very fortunate in having Mr. Eaton of the New England Power Com- pany as a speaker for one of the meetings. Mr. Eaton handled his subject, 'LThe Dis- tribution of Electricity, in an unusually interesting fashion and illustrated his talk with slides. The faculty advisers, Mr. O'Regan and Mr. Arey, are deserving of much credit for the many ways in which they have aided the club. The officers for the past year were as follows: First termfBoris Dephoure, presi- dentg Robert Eccles, vice-president, and Richard Shulinski, secretary, second term- Harold Porter, presidentg O. Harvey Goodwin, vice-president, and Bernard Joseph, secretary. Uhr Entang Qiwrarrh Gllnh The Botany Research Club has progressed to such an extent. that it now is one of our most important societies. The organization has grown until it has an enrollment of over forty members, the largest it has ever possessed. On account of its prosperity, the club has this year for the first time secured pins for all its members. The insignia is that of the longitudinal section of a grain of corn with the letters W. C. B. C. across the endosperm. The meetings, which are held the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month, have been extremely interesting. Special topics prepared by members have been given during some programs, and at others lantern slides have been enjoyed. The society has also been fortunate in procuring some well-known speakers, among whom are: Miss Childs of the State Normal School, and Mr. McHenry of the United States forestry department. The latter illustrated his subject by moving pictures. The activities in which the club has participated during the year have been numer- ous. An alumni party was held last Thanksgiving in the gymnasium and many of the graduates returned for the aHair. This spring, plans are being made for trips which include the fourth annual visit to Harvard, where particular interest is taken in the display of glass flowers. The ofiicers of the club are: president, Ethel Hurwitz, vice-president, Grace Spellmang secretary, Robert Sack, treasurer, Frances Sullivan, and chairman of the program committee, Hazel Hasty. The faculty adviser is Mr. Hearn. Uhr Green i'Knnm Glluh Mr. Post, the guiding light of our Green Room Club, may well congratulate himself upon the success of this year, which has been due, no doubt, to his untiring labors in behalf of the club. Unusually line programs have been presented at the meetings and have drawn large crowds. Booth Tarkington's comedy, 'tThe Intimate Strangers, was given on the installment plan, -one act at a meeting,-and though each night the audience howled for more, the hard-hearted cast refused to consider tiring themselves fcertainly not the spectatorsll. Gertie Levine in this play fitted nicely into her role, that of a clever gentlewoman who had passed her youth and who now pitted her nimble wits against those of a charming though empty-headed Happer, played so ably by Bessie Melnikoff fnow, now, Bess, don't be cro-ssl l The cause for contention was a mere man, acted naturally by Wilfred Comeau. The cast was indeed well-chosen, for had we not Irving Kumin as a garrulous youth? Que voulez-vous? Perfect! Charles Whelan and Mary Horgan took the leading parts in The Man Who Mar- ried a Dumb Wife. Mary was really dumb at first and when she later gained 'the use of her vocal organs twith a vengeanceb, Charley thankfully lost his hearing. Mr. Post continually entertained us with his versions of several plays. At one meeting he read to us a bit of Hawthorne and Holly Berries of which he himself is the author. This play was given as our senior play this year, on May 4th, and was a great success. On Parents' Night, December 10th, the play Spreading the News was given in the Irish dialect. A very clever farce it was, and kept the audience in gales of laughter. Bartley Fallon characterized by Robert Eccles, was a dour gloom, who insisted, Everything bad that happens, happens to me. Mrs. Fallon, Mary Horgan, was the peppery little woman of tempestuous scorn, tears, and laughter. How rapidly those gossiping neighbors retreated before her hardy onslaughts! Mary Prendergast, our own sweet Mary, was the unconsciously malicious spring of all the trouble, for she was quite, quite deaf, and when a bit of news was shouted at her, she invariably gave it an entirely new and astounding twist. Charles Whelan was Jack Smith of 'the huge voice, and how he did bellow! A war-like sort of man indeed and one whom we should not like to meet when he was in one of his black moods! The other characters took their parts enthusiastically and the play rollicked on to its happy ending, to the great delight of the audience. The oflicers of the club were: Ralph Waterhouse, president, Nathaniel Slobin, vice-president, Charles Whelan, treasurer, and Gertrude Levine, secretary. They must all be commended on their excellent work in behalf of the club. We heartily desire for next year's members the success we have enjoyed this year. Aaaemhlira We have had fewer assemblies this year than is customary but all of them have proved to be unusually interesting and instructive. These assemblies, by fostering in the student. body a deeper school pride, and an intelligent interest in extra-curricula activities, hold a most important place in our school life. As an example of the kind of program provided, I have recorded a number' of the assemblies below. On Monday, October 27th, the student body gathered in the Hall to celebrate Navy Day and the sixty-sixth anniversary of the birth of Theodore Roosevelt. Mr. George R. Stobbs talked in a most interesting way on the life of Roosevelt. On February 25th, the school had the pleasure of hearing Rev. Robert J. Swickerath, SJ., of Holy Cross College. Father Swickerath gave a unique and forceful address on patriotism. A new era arrived in the history of our country when President Coolidge's in- augural address was broadcasted from Washington. Through the courtesy of the Waite Hardware Company and the Worcester Radio Supply Company, the entire school, in two, groups, listened in to the exercises at Washington. As part of the Boys' Week program, the young men of the school were fortunate in having Father Dinand, S.J., of Holy Cross, speak to them in the- Hall on May 4th. His stirring address was received with enthusiasm by the boys. In celebrating Music Week, Mr. Dann and the musical clubs of Classical gave, on May 6th, a very enjoyable program. Mr. Ekblaw of Clark University spoke to the student body, Wednesday, May 20th, on his trips to the North Pole. Hisi talk was entertaining as well as in- structive and we hope to hear him again.

Five years ago, when it was first taken over by Mr. Dann, it was a small club numbering fourteen players. There were nine violins, one flute, one clarinet player, and one drumg and only the simplest compositions were attempted. Now the ensemble comprises thirty-six musicians, and the variety of instru- ments played is very great. We have eleven first violins, and eight second violins, two violas, one cello, two string basses, one cornet, two trumpets, one horn, one trombone, one clarinet, one oboe, one B-flat tenor saxophone, two timpani, and one drum. Some of the most difficult and beautiful compositions have been attempted and the majority of them have been interpreted sympathetically. Concertos, suites, operas, and symphonies, composed by the greatest of music-writers, have been rendered. We also have our Orchestra B in which material is trained for the larger or- chestra. This organization has done some fine work and has furnished excellent pro- grams when called upon to participate in the Wednesday assemblies. On Parents' Night, the orchestra took a creditable part in the exercises. Its pro- gram was well chosen and carefully worked out and it was highly appreciated by the audience. In the annual Classical High School Concert it again showed its high cali- bre and proved itself equal to the occasion. It has also done some outside playing. On the night of the Kiwanis concert and dance, the orchestra was asked to take part in the program and gave some selections which were very well received. Combined with the North High Orchestra and aided by' the combined High School Band and some soloists, it presented a fine program on Wednesday, May 13th, in the North High School hall. Some expert soloists have developed from the orchestra. David Goldman, the con- cert master, is one known to all the school. Morris Goldenberg, our Hgypsy fiddler, has won an enviable reputation by his sympathetic renditions. Maxwell Beeber is the very little boy with the very big breath, who has shown himself so adept at the cornet. Smaller organizations have been formed from the larger one. The String Quartet, with David Goldman, iirst violing Roslyn Reines, second violin, Cecile Pofcher, viola, and Myer Meiselman, cello, is well known to our music-loving Classicalites. Then there are the Brass Quartet, the Harmony Three, and others which are known to a smaller audience. All these have contributed to the pleasure of Classical's student body. As a general word of commendation, it is to be admitted that our school has made an enviable! reputation musically. We are proud of our musical clubs and especially proud of our orchestra. Mir. Dann is to be congratulated upon the success he has brought to these organizations. G. CLEF CLUB Uihe CE Gllrf Qlluh The Girls' Glee Club of this year has been the largest and the finest that Classical has ever had. Under the efficient direction of Mr. Dann, its conductor, the club has done some excellent work for the school. The G Clef Club made its first appearance of the year on Parents' Night when it took part in the program. The selections presented were well received, despite 'the short period allowed for preparation. At the school's observance of Thanksgiving Day, the G Clef Club, combined with the Boys' Glee Club, rendered a very stirring number. The next appearance of the Girls' Glee Club was on Alumni Day, when the voices of a selected group, like the voices of the choir invisible singing Christmas carols, were heard by the assembly. However, on February 19th, the G. Clef Club, in connection with the other musical organizations of the school, made its gala appearance in a travelogue. This presenta- tion is described in detail on another page. The club will lose the following members by graduation this year: Flora Fergen- son, Lena Mandell, Bessie Melnikoff, Lillian Monsey, Helen Palmer, Helen Stoskus, and Mae Tumosa. The ofiicers of the G Clef Club for the year 1924-25 were: Bessie Melnikoli, president, Mathilde Carroll, secretary, Flora Fergenson, librarian. Much of the success of the club is due to the excellent accompanying of Ruth Sauter, and of course, to the able leadership of Mr. Dann. BOYS' GLEE CLUB Uhr Enga' QEIPP Glluh The Boys' Glee Club of this year made its career, as usual, a huge success. This organization has been the one in our school which is invariably' received with the highest degree of enthusiasm on its every appearance. Its officers for the year were: President, Allan Ashtong secretary, David Goldman, librarian, Morris Goldenberg. Miss Flora Fergenson was the accompanist. At the entertainment on Parents' Night, the Glee Club made its first public appear- ance of the year. It rendered a negro melody which received liberal applause. This success was repeated on Alumni Day before the student body and a large group of former students. In the concert and travelogue given in February, the Boys' Glee Club furnished an extremely interesting part of the program. Mr. Dann has justification for feeling very proud of this loyal group of hard- working boys, who have always reached the pinnacle of success in every undertaking. The Glee Club is losing many of its valuable members this year by graduation. They are: Royden Behmer, Morris Goldenberg, David Goldman, Hyman Goodwin, George Goodman, Barnet Jasem, Robert Rivers, and Adrien Robitaille. KITHARA CLUB Uhr ltithara Qlluh The Kithara Club was organized in the autumn of 1922. It was an outgrowth of interest in the Music Memory Contest, and was suggested by one of the members of the team. The charter members were the music mmory team and a few others interested in music-about twenty-five in all. In 1923 there were thirty-four members. In the present year the membership numbers fifty-all that the constitution of the club allows, and there is a small waiting list. The first year, the club studied the history of music. In the second year, the operas Aida, Carmen, Ta'n.n.hauser', and Mwrtha were studied. This year, the subject for study has been The Orchestra and Orchestral Music. The programs were prepared by the chairman of the program committee, with the assistance of our faculty adviser. Programs have been rendered by club members, each of whom is called upon for some number during the year. Those who cannot play some instrument or sing, may read or do research work. Members of the faculty who are honorary members of the club sometimes assist in programs. The oHicers for the present year are: President, David Goldman, vice-president, Morris Goldenbergg secretary, Vera Glixmang treasurer, Sydney Grace, chairman of the rhetorical committee, Gladys Arick. Indeed, all has been accomplished through the whole-hearted interest of Miss Peirce, and the Kithara Club folk, who know best, were delighted with the appreciation of our Miss Peirce which Mr. Porter gave in assembly at the time of the fourth winning of the Music Memory Cup. CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL BAND Gllawniml il-Iigh Svrhnnl Eanh The Classical High School Band is the newest organization in the school. It was formed by Mr. Dann in the month of February, 1925. Although in its infancy, the band has been extremely successful in securing a large membership and a complete instrumentation. To an appeal from Mr. Porter, the student body responded most generously, donating funds sufficient to suitably uniform every member of the band. Mr. Dann, who will officiate as the leader, may be sure that the school will always be willing to aid him in his enterprises, which are so helpful and entertaining to us. Many of our graduating class are members of the band and although they will be lost to Mr. Dann, we, who are seniors are confident that he will fill the vacant places. The class of 1925 certainly Wishes our conductor the best of success in his newest activity, the Classical High School Band. The enrollment of the band of seventy-five, lists in its instrumentation the follow- ing pieces: Four clarinets, four saxophones, one bass drum, one tenor drum, one drum major, two baritones, two tubas, two cornets, four trumpets two E-flat altos, and two trombones. MUSIC MEMORY TEAM Uhr Munir Hlirmnrg Qlunteat This year should stand as a banner year in the history of Classical. Among the many trophies we have gained is one that represents much time, labor, and concentra- tion, namely, the Music Memory Cup. For two years We have won this cup, once We tied with Commerce, once we lost, and on December 17, 1924, a memorable date in the minds and hearts of eleven of us, at least, we won the cup for the third time, and so retain it forever and ever. The winning team of this year was composed of Gladys Arick, Irene Burwick, Sydney Grace, David Goldman, Bernard Kaffeman, Lena Man- dell, Frances Mintz, Ruth Sauter, Ida Shulman and Irene Shuval. At the contest which was held in the High School of Commerce Hall, ten of the thirty selections prepared were played. This year's contest was more dimcult than any held before, because Mr. Rice did not play the Whole selection through, but, instead, dropped the needle anywhere on the record and let it play for fifteen seconds. You may judge whether or not our team deserved the cup. When the final decision was an- nounced, it was found that Classical was first, with a rating of 483 points out of a pos- sible 500, Commerce second with 480, South third with 477, and North last with 462. Of course, not the least of the reasons for the success of our team, was the wonderful coaching' of Miss Peirce, who, in spite of many difiiculties helped us to achieve the triumph. iw X .5 11 . i A MQQF x n Q' 1f'r EaQy 1 Q 'aff .Q I Q 5 :M w QQ ' AX MQ Mx Epi 12513, y l My x I W Q V W' W ' N Z 1'Wx5WlQxXX N, H ' Q - P g is-f X I ,A 'Tp' ,gg A '4 '-44' 1 4 X ' 'WJ ' ' W W. , i '5'K? f 'I I Q,,,A4xQf5 - Q: T y, 1 v 'f N NX, P Q 5 Q5 fl iw 3 594' ' ' if l ' ' n 5 I , L 12, ' Q ff4z,11U.!. 1a114? kf'I'1 W9 , fr C X if .

The assembly hall was crowded to capacity with parents, who took advantage of the opportunity to enjoy a well-prepared program. An explanation of the numerous extra-curricula activities of the school was pre- sented by Albert Hall, representative of the boys, and Lena Mandell, representative of the girls. For the first time, many parents were brought to a realization of the tremendous value of the numerous clubs connected with the school. Presently the girls in Miss Drew's class marched to the stage, and gave an Indian Club drill with such grace as would befit a class of Posse School girls. The boys, under Mr. Cantwell's direction favored with a drill, which was greatly applauded. After Orchestra A had rendered a few selections with its usual merit, both Glee Clubs enter- tained with several delightful contributions. The presentation of the play, Spreading the News, by various members of the Green Room Club under the direction of Mr. Post, capped the climax of the program. The play, an Irish comedy, with the leading roles filled by Mary Horgan and Robert Eccles, provoked much laughter. At the conclusion of the program, the parents passed to the lower corridors, where they remained a few minutes. to talk with the teachers. The evening proved most enjoyable and profitable to both parents and teachers. Ellie Seninr Iirnm On Friday evening, June 5th, the annual Senior Prom took place at Terpsichorean Hall. A radiant crowd, and excellent music supplied by Irving Peskin and His Boys, made this affair without any doubt the most enjoyed social event of the school year. The rainbow of glittering colors furnished by the girls arrayed in their most charming gowns, the elegant appearance of the boys in white flannels and dark coats, the beam- ing countenances and gay laughter of everyone,-all tended to present an exquisitely fascinating spectacle. Because of its splendid management, the committee in charge of the prom is deserv- ing of much praise for the brilliant success of the aiair. The committee consisted of David Goldman, Mary Tobin, Mary Spellman, Katherine Mc'Gillicuddy and Wilfred Comeau. Alumni Bag On December 23rd, the alumni of Classical gathered once more in the school to see old friends and familiar scenes heightened by pleasant memories. The happy counten- ances, the merry laughs, and the greetings, all attested that this was an occasion en- joyed by alumni, teachers, and undergraduates. The eager, expectant faces of the alumni were turned to Mr. Porter as he addressed them. They seemed to be waiting for the familiar Just one thing more. Memories, memories at every turn-the dust-covered busts, the back-breaking seats with initials scratched on them, the familiar faces everywhere! After Mr. Porter had welcomed the alumni, the orchestra favored the gathering with several classical numbers. A gymnastic drill was given by a class of girls, after which the Girls' Glee Club sang Christmas carols. George Kangisser, a graduate in the class of '24, gave an interesting talk on The Fraternity of College Life. He was followed by a selection sung by the Boys' Glee Club. Stanley Kunitz of the class of '22 then gave an inspiring' talk on Hldeals in Life. Following this, the alumni went to the lower corridor where they chatted with their former teachers and friends. In the evening a dance was held in Terpsichorean Hall. It was a brilliant affair and the fleeting hours were filled with joy and laughter. Dancing was enjoyed to music furnished by the Harmony Serenaders. Refreshments were served and the frolicers spent a very happy evening. Ghz Hllurk Elrial On November 7th, the Assembly Hall witnessed one of the most successful affairs of the school year. Before a crowd that made the old school walls bulge, the long awaited and widely heralded Mock Trial was given. Assisted and coached by Mr. New- ton and Mr. Howe, in the presentation of this farce, the boys of the Debating Assembly gave a most worhty performance which thoroughly amused the large audience. In reviewing the trial a most talented cast is to be congratulated. Charley Whelan, as judge, gave an uproariously funny exposition to the jury, a most intelli- gent group selected at random from well-known comic characters. The two attor- neys, Dephoure and Cramer, in their Kollege-Kut tuXes were quite classy. Irving Kumin with his size ten Hbroguesv in the role of a dainty little flapper was highly amusing. The grass widow, who looked so longingly at the roguish Duke was no other than Van Leeuwen. Bill Comeau, the co-respondent in the case, played his part of lady killer to perfection, strange as it may seem. Then there was Al Hall as a bootlegger, whose nose did go well with the blushing cheeks of the 'tmoron, Stayman. Babe,' Slobin, the specialist on monomania, gave amusing diagnoses on several Classicalite-s. The whole cast, aptly fitting their parts, entered into the spirit of the trial and presented it very effectively. The Mock Trial ranks with the most successful affairs that have been given during the year. It is hoped that the Assembly will present more entertainments of this type in the future. Uhr 01. 15, Sv. Glunrrrt The musical travelogue presented by the combined musical organizations was one of the finest concerts ever given at Classical High School. Much credit is due Mr. Dann, the musical director, Miss Drew, under whose direction the dances were pre- pared, and Ruth Sauter, the accompanist. The orchestras, A and B, opened the pro- gram with single and combined numbers. Maxwell Beeber's cornet solo was well received by the audience. Lena Mandell, the reader for the travelogue, was convincing in her role of dreamer. The first number was a lively Italian dance, followed by an Italian song, rendered with much fervor by our noted tenor, Edwin Rabinowitz. Comin' Thro, the Rye was sung with unusual sweetness. Edna Greeko exhibited much talent and grace in the Spanish dance, and the selection from Carmen by Helena Eindzelis delighted the guests. The Minuet, a stately dance of France, proved to be an immense success. Morris Goldenberg's selection, Little Gypsy Sweetheart, seemed to come from the heart of a true artist. The Fair from Martha was a contrast to the rest of the program and was received with a burst of enthusiasm and applause. The Indian Song by Flora Fer- genson was well rendered, and Old Black Joe was given with much fervor and appre- ciation of its sentiment. The entire cast sang the finale, Good Night, Good Night, Be- loved. Uhr Sveninr Zfanquvt The Senior Banquet, held at Baratti and Ble s, on the evening of Class Day, June 15th, proved another success for the class. After a long, tiresome afternoon, passed in listening to the numerous exercises of the day, the feed seemed most delicious and most appetizing. The toastmaster was Charles Whelan. The following are the toasts and their donors: To the girls, Wilfred Comeaug to the boys, Mary Horgang to the faculty, Elizabeth Budishg to the athletes, Boris Dephoureg to the juniors, William Nimang to the seniors, Albert Hiall, who was present as a guest of the senior class. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Chester T. Porter, Miss Powers, Miss Fitzpatrick, Mr. 0'Flynn, and Mr. Rice. A pretty picture was afforded by the girls in their light, fluffy, gaily-colored dresses, and the boys in their natty uniform dress of white Hannels and dark coats. The committee, composed of VVilliam Ferguson, chairman, Gladys Arick, Lena Germaine, Charles Jaworski, and Jacob Masterman, showed its eHiciency in arranging the banquet. Alrthvia-Eliiihara Qlluh Banu, On Friday evening, April 24th, in our own high school gym, the Aletheia-Kithara Club Dance took place. The two societies had decided to halve the labors and double the profits, if possible, and so worked together in making the social a success. There were fewer people present than had been expected, but perhaps that explains 'the good time enjoyed by all who attended, for the crowd was a fraternal one and eager for fun. Those who did not dance played games in the halls, and more than one funny incident happened to add to the zest. There was one young man who, quite evidently, liked peanuts. And there was one, also, who gazed quite puzzled at the pile of those delect- able nuts which had so rapidly and mysteriously diminished! The music was furnished by our boys, who had practiced fervently for this event. Considering the youth and inexperience of the young men, the music was really good. A program presented at intermission was as follows: '4CaVatina from Ernani, by Verdi, played by Percy Dewey. Until, Telemacher, sung by Edwin Rabinovitz. The selections were delightedly received and heartily applauded. The invitation committee was headed by Vera Glixman, the refreshment committee by Sydney Grace, the program committee by David Goldman, the music committee for dancing by Morris Goldenberg and the games' committee by Gladys Arick. The decora- tions were entirely taken over by the Aletheia. The patrons and patronesses were: Mr. and Mrs. Howe, Miss Watson, Miss Fitz- patrick, Miss Peirce, Miss Hunt and Mr. Arey. Glhr Sveninr Emp At one of our animated class meetings a senior dance was decided upon, not only for the sake of a good time, but in the hope that a reduction in the price of our CLASSIC MYTHS might be effected! The committee appointed by President Whelan to make preparations was composed of Leroy Bonnie, chairmang Mary Horgan, Cecile Pofcher, Irving Kumin and Adrian Van Leeuwen. It was decided to call the dance the Senior Hop. It was thought that this name would attract those who were interested in merry-making. On the evening of January 18th, a large company gathered in the North High gymnasium. It is a pleasant state of mind that assures a good time, and this crowd seemed destined to obtain that goal, for everyone was sociable yet nicely restrained. The weather contributed to the fun for the raging of the elements outside contrasted strongly with the warmth, light, and gaiety within. The rattling of hail-stones against the window-panes was an attractive addition to our jazz orchestra. The orchestra engaged for the evening was Duke Mahoney's Serenaders. It was exceptionally good, considering to what our long-suffering classmates are accustomed. As it was said in the next day's paper,- a good time was had by all. The patrons and patronesses were: Mr. Tobin, Miss Dodge, Miss Shaughnessy, Miss Powers, Miss Fitzpatrick, Mr. Rice, Mr. Howe, Mr. O'Flynn, and Mr. Brennan. f+ AL. Ib ii ww -'SW' aw, nf ,KN -, ,wf 1-1 25 4- 1 4 fum- , FOOTBALL TEAM illnnihall Clasical's football team of the year 1924, does not fare forth as a winner of the coveted W, but it does go down in the history of the school as one emblazoned with the lustre of its fame, as one of spirit, strength, and stamina. It was an uphill iight for Mr. Cantwell to bring forth from new material a team worthy of Classical. This team, however, was such in every sense of the word and our coach's work was crowned with success. Classical opened the season with the strong St. Mark's team of Southboro. Every man on the squad made the trip and participated in the game. The true calibre of the team was revealed when our boys were defeated by the same score, 17-0, as last year's championship team. The Tech yearlings were administered a 6-0 drubbing in the second game of the season. The team-play was much improved over that in the St. Mark's game. The team no doubt would have rolled the score up to the proportions of a whitewash had it not been weakened by injuries received in the previous game. The Blue and White traveled to the Chair City on October 11th and was over- come by a smaller margin than the 19-7 score indicates. The team, outweighed, resorted to an aerial game that kept the Gardner lads on their toes until the final whistle. In the first inter-high game, our aggregation was beaten by the Commerce team to the tune of 27-0. Classical could not cope with the Blue and Gold aerial attacks. The clean playing of our team, however, completely outshone that of Commerce, which was besmirched by heavy penalties. On October 23rd the squad from North were the visitors. They were given a warm reception in one of the hardest fought games of the series. North scored in the last period, but Classical played with its indomitable spirit until the final whistle, and died hard, a victim to the score, 6-0. The game, October 28th, with the Richards Street Clan, was indeed a victory for us though the final score was South 13, Classical 9. Our boys scaled the dizzy heights to fame when they scored nine points in the last half, playing the South team off their feet. The team was glorious in defeat. Classical trekked to Middlesex on November lst. Our boys encountered a superior team and succumbed, 33-0. Let it be said, however, that this was one of the best games on the schedule, with many evidences of sportsmanship and fair play on both sides. That the team fought adversity and a hard schedule, none will deny. The heart- felt thanks of the school goes out to Coach Cantwell and the team for carrying on as well as it did. We are proud of it. BASKETBALL TEAM Ziaakvthall This year's basketball team, although not of championship class, was a hard working five. Built of entirely new material, the team worked under great difficulties. The fact that Classical's hoopsters landed in the cellar position is not 'truly indicative of the team's quality. Several of the games were lost only by a margin of one or 'two baskets. The team proved strong in its out-of-town games, and at the end of the sea- son showed a clean slate in this respect. Classical opened the season victoriously when it defeated St. John's in a hard- fought contest with a score of 33-23. In the next game, the first of the inter-high series, Classical received a set-back at the hands of South. A decided lack of team-Work,-a fault which can be overcome only by long hours of practice,-on Classical's part paved the way for a 29-9 victory for South. Classical, however, came back strong when it defeated the Hashy and highly-reputed Gardner team in a hard-fought struggle, 17-16. In the second inter-high game, Classical, showing greatly improved team-work, overpowered Commerce. Leading at the end of the first quarter by a 4-3 score, Classi- cal drew steadily away from its opponents until it had amassed a total of 32. points against 20 for its rivals. North gave Classical a 26-14 beating to close the first half of the series. Classical started the second half of the series with greatly improved team-work and with much more pep, South, for the second time, took the measure of the Classi- cal team to the tune of 21-18 after a hard up-hill fight by Classical. Classical then so- journed for a three game series out of town. Leominster was defeated by Classical, 21-19 in a hard-fought struggle. Northboro was defeated in short order with the score, 32-22. Another hard-fought. battle was waged with Uxbridge before Classical emerged victorious, 25-24. ' In the fifth inter-high game, that with Commerce, the game was undecided until the last minute of play, the tide of victory sweeping back and forth between Com- merce and Classical. Commerce finally defeated us, 28-2.5. After Classical had won a difiicult game from the strong Clinton team with the score, 17-15, it sported an untar- nished out-of-town record. In the last inter-high game, which was also the last of the season, Classical bowed to the champion North team on the short end of a 16-13 score. The team was certainly one worthy of representing Classical, and like all other Classical teams, possessed an ever-present fighting spirit. Coach Cantwell, who suc- ceeded in accomplishing so much with inexperienced material, deserves great praise. In the forward positions, Captain Dowd and Hweagney showed themselves one of the most capable pairs of the series. At center we possessed an outstanding figure in Brown, who consistently got the tap on the- opposing center. The back-court was well guarded by Topelian and Lawton, and by Jaffe, when Lawton was injured. The team deserves the greatest Commendation from the school, which it represented so faithfully and so worthily. BASEBALL TEAM Ifizuirhall With the calling out of baseball candidates for this year by Mr. Cantwell, our prospects for a good team were bright. In order to assemble a fitting squad to repre- sent the school, our coach inaugurated a class series. In this way Mr. Cantwell was able to choose the best man for each position. The bulk of the battery work fell on the shoulders of veteransg Koreywo, Cook, and Freddy Donahue did the most in this department. The infield and outfield competition was very keen, and those selected, although many were new and lacked experience, have played hard and like true sports- men. Manager Harry Tarlowsky, after much consideration and effort on his part, ar- ranged a schedule that was by far the longest and most difficult to confront a baseball team in the history of Classical. Tarlowsky was well qualified to act in this capacity because he has held this position for all sports during his junior and senior years. The athletes of our school were fortunate in having such an industrious and efhcient manager. Classical won the first game of the season. It proved to be an easy victory al- though Northboro had a strong team. Higgins pitched an excellent game, allowing his opponents but two hits and, in addition to this, striking out six. Although the batting order has been rearranged, and some of the men have had their positions changed, the team which has carried Classical's colors on the field is as follows: Sweeney, second base, Meleski, left field, Walstrom, right field, Heagney, third base, Donahue, catcher, Donaher, short-stop, Harrahy, center field, Jaffe or Wood, first base, and Higgins, Koreywo, and Cook, the pitching staff. The powerful Cushing Academy nine defeated Classical in her second game of the year. Our team did exceptionally well, considering the ability of Cushing, which ranks with Andover and Exeter. A well-executed double-play--Heagney to Sweeney to Jaffe-was the feature of the game. , The next contest in which Classical participated belonged to the inter-high series and was played against Commerce at the school athletic field. In this game our team failed to repeat the good work that it had formerly done, and as a result, Commerce swamped us. Jaffe was the only man who could collect a hit from Peterson, the Com- merce pitcher. This inability, coupled with errors by usually dependable players, made the game a very one-sided aiair in favor of the wrong team. Classical was white-washed by Fitchburg at Crocker Field in another game poorly played by our boys. Mr. Cantwell's team seemed to have struck a snag, but it never lost its spirit. The boys proved that they were always in fighting trim when they defeated the Tech Seconds in a practice game. A few days later Classical held Trade until the latter part of the game, when the scoring of five runs by Trade told the dole- ful tale. Classical at last hit its stride in the South game. Although Classical defeated South by a one-run margin, our boys were never in danger but once. Cook, who was pitching his first game, struck out fifteen men, which is two less than the record pre- viously made. But for one slip, Classical played errorless ball, and with Cook on the mound, Classical may yet reach her goal-the championship. As this book goes to press, the baseball season is not yet finished. Therefore we desire to extend our best wishes to our coach and his team for success in winning the much coveted championship! TRACK TEAM Ulmrk Although the Blue and White did not earn the name of 'tChamps, they won greater success than many had expected. Mr. Cantwell is to be congratulated for the team which he drew from practically inexperienced material and developed into a fairly successful unit. It is to be hoped he will not have such a diflitzult task next year, for after graduation there will still remain a few under-classmen who have already won several laurels for us. The outcome of the cross-country contest was encouraging considering Classical's weakness in the long runs. The Classicalites who placed and kept Clalssical's name above water were: Howard Hassett and Joseph Hardy, who finished thirteenth and fourteenth respectively. The outcome of the inter-class games was as follows: Seniors, third place, juniors, second place, sophomores, fourth place, and freshmen, first place. As one can readily see, Classical is not in the championship class yet, but the future certainly looks bright. The inter-high meet was held as usual at the Y. M. C. A. and through the efforts of Dave Silverman in the hurdles and shot put, and Pete Topelian in the high jump, Classical secured third place. On May 2nd, Silverman and Topelian traveled to Boston to take part in the Boston College relay carnival, and from a field which represented thirty schools throughout the state, Classical obtained fifth place, a record most worthy of praise. It is expected that Classical will be successful in the following meets which have not as yet taken place: the Worcester Polytechnic, the Harvard, the Brown, and the Fitchburg interscholastic meets, and the class day games. Year by year track is winning more and more popularity, and it is sincerely hoped that the time is not far distant when Classical will win the championship. Great credit must be given to Mr. Cantwell for the success which Classical has had in track this year. The senior class wishes him in the future the best of success.

The girls played in such a way that we can well be proud of them, in spite of the fact that they did not win the championship. Taking everything into consideration, the team deserves nothing but praise. South had a super-team and Commerce, which won second place, was not far be- hind. Classical started the basketball season successfully with a victory of 25-14 over North. This was an easy victory for Classical because of the weakness on the defen- sive side of its opponent. All played exceptionally well and showed remarkable co- operation. The second game of the series, Classical versus South, was played on Thursday, January Sth, although our girls played hard, South was victorious, 28-21. Classical, in the game against Commerce, was defeated by a margin of 13 points. Sallie Griff and Lena Germaine staged a wonderful come-back in the last quarter and put through some fine shots. The team played a clean and fast game from start to finish. The final score was 37-24. In the North High gym, January 29th, we were defeated by North, 37-25. With the loss of this game, Classical was put out of the running for the championship. The score at the end of the first half was very close, being 14-13 in favor of North, but in the second half the margin was more evident, North winning by 12 points. Our :for- ward trio played a splendid game, but the guards were not quite up to par. The high scorer of the game was Sallie Griff, making seven two-point baskets from the floor. The Classical line-up was guards, Helen Powers, Emma Higgins, Katherine Phillipsg forwards, Lena Germaine, Helen Moriss, Ida Griif. The game played February 4th, with South was the closest game of the season. Although our adversary had a remarkable team, surpassing those of other years, our girls played better than in any other game. Their admirable captain, Kay Phillips, as usual, seemed to be everywhere at once, stopping many baskets on the way to the ene- my's goal. Those who figured were: Kay Phillips, Helen Moriss, Ida Griff, Helen Laivez, Emma Higgins, Peg Coyle, and Helen Powers. The final score was 23-20. In the last game of the series, Commerce emerged victorious over Classical, 32-18, thereby clinching second place. The best play of Classical was in the backtield where Kiddo Phillips and Helen Powers did exceptionally fine work, although Helen Moriss of the forward line played her usual fast game and Sallie', Griif played perhaps her best game of the season. In fact all the girls deserve credit for the play and spirit shown throughout the series. Whether Classical wins or loses, of one thing we are sure, that we have the best coach in the system. To Miss Drew's energy, enthusiasm and skill, the girls of Classi- cal owe far more than victories. GIRLS' HOCKEY TEAM Illielh 1-Iurkrg The girls' field hockey team enjoyed one of its most successful seasons this year, for besides winning the championship, the girls captured the greatly coveted loving- cup, offered by Mr. Frank G. Harrington to the high school team winning the champion- ship for three years. In the opening game, October 3rd, Classical girls started the season with a victory by taking the Commerce team into camp, 2-1. The second game of the series dampened Classical's hopes when North romped away with a 3-0 victory. Classical came back strong on October 17th, and trounced South in the third series game with a score of 2-0. Classical, having hit its former stride, went through the second half of the series unscathed. Commerce was defeated, 1-0 on October 24th. The girls avenged 'their defeat at the hands of North by coming out on the heavy end of a 2-0 score. In the final game of the series, Classical again proved its leadership by defeating South, 2-1. The school is indebted to its efficient coach, Miss Drew, and to the veterans and seniors who fought so valiantly for the honor of the school, namely: Captain Mary Hor- gan, Katherine Phillips, Margaret Coyle, Ida Griif, Helen Moriss, Helen Powers, Helen Palmer, Emma Higgins, Lena Germaine, Gertrude Brodeur, and Mary Tobin. Glennie A good tennis player can only be found when the game has been played by mem- bers of the family for years and years. So says our tennis coach. Nevertheless in spite of the odds against her, Miss Drew set herself valiantly to the task of training girls and trying to have them make a respectable place in the inter-school tennis cham- pionship series. Last fall Miss Drew found an excellent group of girls for the team. They were: Helen Russell, captaing Katherine Phillips, Ida Griif, and Helen Powers and Helen Laiviz, alternates. Miss Russell had played on the team in former years. The first match of the series was between Classical and South High Schools. We lost all the games in the match, but not Without excellent playing and a hard struggle. The second match of the series Classical won from Commerce. Although the Com- merce girls were excellent players, our girls were better, and won all the sets. The third match we lost to North. Throughout the series, Classical's team displayed good and clean sportsmanship, and played well and hard. With very little support on the part of the students, and less publicity, the players for the Blue and White fought their way bravely to the end. They made third place in the league.

When one wanders through the corridors of our ven- erable building, he is sure to encounter a bevy of girls around a cynosure-Bonnie. Bonnie's nature must be truly bonny to be able to attract so many of the fair sex. Perhaps his interest in them has been responsible for his splendid management of our dances for three years.

Since entering Classical, Ralph has shed his appar- ent air of shyness and has proved himself a regular fellow. Although he is very quiet at times, he is a very hard worker.

Marion dear, she liked them fat, But Hulda liked them leang They had their system down so pat, No man was safe, I Ween. Dud, Dud, pop-corn eater, Had a wife and couldn't keep her. He did his best, poor little boy, But Mae, she proved too shy, too coy f???J Little Miss Peg, she sat up to beg Her sweety, for sweet ccmcly kisses. Oh no, no, my dear I do greatly fear Sweet candy is not for young misses. But, as I live, I always do give The kisses to sweet little misses. A Circe Cee was of the best, An enchantress who never did rest, The boys she did charm, And often wrought harm- For she broke all men's hearts for a jest!! There was a very wild gink, Who was called life's own missing' Lincg, Then B Budish he met, And his heart she did get When she left, in despond he did sink. Lena was the name Of a literary dame. She wrote a red-hot tale, And was put into a jail. Gee! CLASSICAL HIGH SCHOOL There was a red Rose from Worcester, Who used to strut just like a roosterg To Springfield she went, And was shook by a gent, And now she don't strut like she useter. There was a sweet thing called Mae, Who had a shy, modest wayg From young men she ran, As fast as feet can, And was quiet and good every day! A flower did bloom all alone, She did sigh, she did weep, she did groan: 'Til a Jewel growing bolder, Did try to console her, Then no more did sweet Blossom moan, To Wilfred, paragon of men, An epitaph I strive to pen. He 'tried to kiss 'er, This other man's sister! There is a little poil, Whose name i.s Peggy Coyle. She's everybody's goil. Ask the boys!!! Kiddo had a little lamb, Whose name we think was Charlie. And where'er sweet t'Kiddo went There Charlie always would be. And here is Miss Segel or better still Bet, Whose little black trunk was always her pet When damages came, From the wind and the rain, Repairs from the trunk she did get. CLASSIC MYTI-IS AND NOW SHED A TEAR O. Harvey Goodwin lies dead in this cofiin, He sang his song Bebe just once too often! Mary Horgan lies dead 'neath this tree, For in one study she received a B! Niman sleeps soundly beneath this cold water, Whelan wouldn't listen to his point of order! Poor Buster Powers lies dead in this casket, For Bus'l missed getting the ball in the basket. Blossom and Julius lie dead 'neath this sand, Jules tried to drive using only one hand. Here lies friend Eccles, our dear little Bob, He was fired from the theatre for loafing on the job. Louie and Rose together lie dead, Louie called Rose a dern ol, red-head! Our own Scoop Eagan now has the blues, He tried in vain to get some new news! Soothing Melody . . O, Katherine. . . . . . .

I-ESIVRY-' 5 W - 162 CLASSIC MYTHS ADVICE TO THE ASININE AND FACTS FOR THE FOOLISH By LEATRICE BAREFACTS My Dear Leatrice Barefacts: I am a young girl of seventeen, a mason's daughter. For the past three years I have been going out with a jewel, yes, at jewel of a fellow, with whom I am very much in love. He has lots of money and spends lots of it. He has a beautiful purple Ford runabout. and often takes me riding. Still I cannot make up my mind whether or not I should marry him, for he has one great. vice. He is an incessant eater of garlic! No matter what I do, no matter how I implore him to give up this awful habit, it is of no avail. Garlic he likes and garlic he will eat. Please, Miss Barefacts, I love him dearly, but I know I can never stand the smell of garlic. Tell me, shall I marry him and die a victim of that terrible odor, or refuse him and pine to death without him? A BROKEN BLOSSOM. My Dear Mason's Blossom: Your case is a fragrant one. Although I prefer onions to garlic, I advise you to marry your jewel and his purple runabout. Marry your jewel, and reform him. This can be pleasantly done by eating twice the amount of garlic, double the strength of our hubby's favorite brand, and giving him the cooling benefits of your breath. You may die from this at first, but you will .soon get used to it. Aromatically yours, LEATRICE BAREFACTS. My Dear Leatrice Barefacts: All my life I have dreamed of being a movie star. My friends tell me I am talented and good looking. I took a correspondence course in tragic acting at the Inane Institute of Inarticulated Arts and was graduated after 27 lessons for 3270. I can register thirty-three emotions and can particularly well depict insanity, stupidity, and lack of intelligence. My friends say I was born for parts in which I show these emo- tions for they seem to come so naturally. After my graduation I went. to Hollywood and have since appeared in two comedies. The scenes in which I took part, however, were cut from both pictures, probably because of the starfs jealousy, and I am still undiscovered. Now I am thoroughly discouraged. I have been oiered a job as a pickler in a pickle factory, with a promise of being promoted to the canning depart- ment, if I succeed. Shall I accept this opportunity and give up my career, or keep courage and work in the cinema art? MELLIE KOUGI-I. My Dear Miss Mellie Kough: The life of a movie star is a bitter one, that of a pickler is much sweeter. It is better to pickle and can than to be pickled aid canned in the fillum business. Think of your future, Mellie! From your letter I take it you are not over forty. After if- teen years in a pickle mill you ought to be able to pickle and can some nice young hus- band. And then, was it not the good sage, Brutus, when he stabbed Caesar, who said. The way to a man's heart is through his stomach? Yours for more intelligent and more artistic pickles.

In my life girls mean nothing. My abhorrence for the female has always successfully kept them at a distance. Lately, however, a dis- tant realtive left me a million dollars, and women-girls-hundreds of them-have started to pester me to death with their affections and caresses. They are still at it, Miss Barefacts, and I am still suffering. Tell me, please, how I can keep them away and I shall be grateful to you as long as I live. Oh, how I hate women! Sufferingly yours, WILFRED KOKO. My Dear Wilfred Koko: I sympathize entirely with you fmay I call you Billy?J It is quite evident that 'these women are only after your money-most women are that way, Billy. I would advise you to get married and let your wife help you as she surely would. Hoping that I may serve you in this 'm.atte1', I remain LEATRICE BAREFACTS. P. S.--Billy, dear, I am not married yet.
