You who, as fond parents, have watched our progress through these years, felt our joys and excitement, shared our sorrows and disappointments, have been invited to attend these Class Day exercises, to take part in our final ceremonies as you have taken part in our everyday school life. Cn behalf of the Class of l930, I welcome you here today. To our teachers, also, I extend the welcome and good wishes of our class. You are the ones who have guided us through the shoals that border the channel to learning, keeping us from the reefs of wrong impressions and mis- understanding. We hope that as you see us leave your class for the last time, you can feel the thrill of accomp- lishment, feeling that we have succeeded in that you hoped for us To you, as teachers and friends, I offer the welcome and farewell of the Class of 1930. PRLSIDENT GEORGE STEvENs Fellow students, we have travelled one road together for four years. Now we approach the fork, and there are many branches. Some of us will still travel on together, but most will be scattered in many different paths. New friends and new interests will surround us, but let us sometimes remember the four years of Classical,s cameraderie and no matter where we may wander, let us endeavor to justify that Hthrill of accomplishment we wished for ourselves and our teachers. I4 Outline ol: History of the Class of 11930 fWith apologies to H. G. BARBARA DENNY PROLOGUE The universe was disrupted: Sun and moon and stars stood still, And darkness and confusion reigned. Nothing was as it had been, And dire and drastic Were to be the consequences thereof. BARBARA DENNY, Historicm I. Preshrnanic was called the age which ensued, All forms of life were lowly and crude: Ielly-Hsh, Worms, and invertebrae rare, That wriggled their Way up stair after stair, In order to reach their place of abode, Climbing and climbing the tortuous road. The pedagogues, a horrible race, Oft Hayed them and made them quicken their pace. At last, after what seemed ages in length, While these animals gained in physical strength, -Incredible fact-the time had come When the seed of a brain Was born in some! They ceased to be quite so foolish and dull, And got some sense in their bit of a skull. The Way was yet long and hard to go, But the Hrst act was ended,-so on With the show! II. ' Sophomores, rough and uncouth people Harassed all Within their reach, Making mis'rable their neighbors With their noise and senseless bluster, Savage, crude and unrestrainable, A folk barbarian and untamableg 15 Not advanced beyond the cave-man, Still with blunted, lowly senses, Iabblring nothing with abandon, . Fighting fights with spit-ball cannon, Caring naught but for their pleasure, Doing only what they had to, Churls and boors, and rullian rowdies. Chief amongst them, Chester Eaton, Brawny, brave, and first in prowess, He could swing his club the hardest, By their hair dragged he the maidens, Trembling stood the males before him, And he ruled with iron mandates, Guiding all through per'lous dangers. III. Iuniors- a name to be conjured with, Strode they about with creased foreheads, Busy with eternal errands, weighted With responsibility of petty tasks, Talking loudly of their many interests To impress their lowly confreres. With senatorial dignity in their Forum, Politics, intrigues, problems fraught with meaning- All these they settled-and much greater Matters, also, of the Empire. They bore their victories, their defeats Alike with stoic Roman bravery, Disdaining to reveal their deep emotions To the vulgar gaze of others. Exclusive they-resenting all intrusion In their sacred ranks, of any mere plebeian, Patricians every one were they, And gloried in the knowledge. They had their Caesar-Georgius Stephanus A noble soul, of steadfast Roman qualities, A leader of men, a man among Romans. Athletes, laurel-crowned, there were Shannoius and the Sullivani Who proved their mettle in many contests, Iohannis Mahero, gladiator, Cowing all with his great stature, And countless other famous figures. IV. Stevens, Miller, McDermott, Sullivan, All illustrious personages, I-Iead now a race of supermen and superwomen Known as Seniors. 16 Their wisdom, their experience, Is so far exceeding human ken That others-the Faculty for instance- Do not see their superiority, Do not appreciate the honor They give them in allowing them The pleasure of their presence. But they are magnanimous, They realize Faculty Frailty And make Allowances. They excel in everything. Miss Henderson is learning From Squeak Shippee How Virgil should be interpreted, And amazing is Louiseys skill, And originality. They could teach their instructors Many things-tap-dancing, surf-board riding And the gentle art of Hirting. O,Neil and Stevens Are the Glee Club, Although itis true they permit underclassmen To stand with them on the platform, As a background For their virile beauty. In Student Council Though some impudent Sophomore upstarts Like Dippy Powers Attempt to air their foolish judgments, Mary Cummings, a valiant Senior Quells the nuisance With her loud, authoritative voice And marvelous powers of oratory. They provide entertainments Stupendous, stirring and spectacular- The Tailor-Made Manf, At which mobs of Spencer citizens Sat astounded at the fluency of the lines And rapidity of the action- Christmas Capersv and Senior Prom, Peppy, pretty and profitable, Thanks to Betchy Cotton's Financial genius. Now, though Mr. Young Has begged, implored and entreated Them all to come back as P. Gfs, They must bid farewell to C. H. S. And I must stop Or this History will become A Prophecy. 17 3 The True Value of a Classical Education INCE the beginnings of civilization, man,s primary Y - endeavor has ever been to educate himself. The purpose of education is to make ourselves conscious of our vast heritage and to train our powers so as most effectively to appropriate and use our divine endowment. We wish to bring ourselves into harmony with our intellectual surroundings, to raise ourselves to the present average of the intelligence of our fellows, or, better yet, to lift ourselves above the average, so that we may be Htted to be leaders, not followers, in the race, so that we may learn through the mastery of our own powers and inclinations, through the discipline of our nature, through long association with the best that the world has thought and wrought, to have some adequate conception of life, so that we may come to see life in its true sense, if not quite that, so that we may attain some aspiration to enjoy that high and Worthy POWU- PETER FRANCIS SULLIVAN, IR How then can we better gain these aims than by what experience has taught us is the only real means to this end, a classical education? Some have been inclined in recent years to lay great stress on what is termed a practical education. The people of our nation are temperamentally inclined to look for short Cuts. In education this desire for the practical side emphasizes itself in the early desire for specialization at the necessary sacrifice of a training in the humanities. Specialization requires as a primary factor, maturity. Maturity of mind is not reached generally until a person has completed his secondary education. Then, if he has the firm foundation of the classics behind him, he is fully equipped to specialize. To the young person looking forward anxiously to his career, the patient and thor- ough drill of the classics is seemingly a waste of time. He is forgetful of the mental gym- nastics whose prototype in physical development he so readily recognizes. He fails to realize that the day is coming when for the solution of some important problem, he will need an elastic thinking power, qualified to hold fast to essentials and to cast aside non- essentials. The education prevailing in our schools at present has tended toward materialism. It has come more and more to exalt the immediately utilitarian side of instruction. The old school of education had at least an ideal of culture. It began with a definite object. It proceeded by orderly sequence of courses, through clearly dehned territory toward its ultimate goal. That goal was disciplined manhood, a mind stored with much knowledge of the sources of our culture, a mind with all its powers at least somewhat tested, a mind that had been made conscious of its capacities and of its ignorance, that had been dis- ciplined in the ways of obtaining knowledge, a mind brought into some relation to the great and obstinate questionings of the soul. That was the old ideal. Surely it was a very noble one. 18 f-3 ,,, W, ,1 .,, ,WY .., , 1 X EO CIQASSHC. Q QQ Q Mwiexmeaeg xwy Does not the experience of the ages of successful tuition after all count for something? Those men who, in the past, have made their marks, men who have left behind them living memorials of their greatness were usually schooled thoroughly in the classics. Washington, Iefferson, even, to a certain extent, Lincoln, who gained his education handicapped by many obstacles, derived their knowledge from the study of the past. In studying the works of the ancients, one reads what are perhaps the greatest minds the world has ever known. Thinking with great minds, one cannot help absorbing some of the wisdom which has made these men outstanding. Especially for the young men who hope to be leaders in the professional and business life of the time, in finance, in affairs of state, in practical life, those studies are to be preferred which shall make them greater men, which shall give them a larger prospect of life, quicken their powers of vision, enlarge their range of sympathy, and bring them into fullest consciousness of the sources and developments of the culture we enjoy. And never more than in this age of crowded activities, 'of militant socialistic agitation by half-educated theorists, of radical and atheistic tendencies, was there need of men that know the world was not made the day before yesterday. Unless a student is dull indeed, he cannot fail to learn by his contact with the ancient world that the problems of government, the just division of powers, the distribution of wealth, the relations 'of people toward one another are not new problems, but ones which have been peculiar to every age. ' No man is well educated, is well fitted for leadership among his fellows, who has not an easy and thorough command of his own language. For the complete understanding and mastery of our tongue, there is no better teacher than the classics. In fact, a very great number of our own words are immediately derived from the Greek and Latin. Briefly, an education to be true must teach us our duties to God, to our country and to our neighbors. An education that does not do this is unquestionably false. The classics are basically the study of the universe and man, and the relation of these two to God. Therefore, an education to be complete must be founded on the classics. If we are to rise above mediocrity in our chosen work, surely it must be upon the solid foundation of a broad and liberal education, which will make us men and women possessed of lively imaginations, clarity of thought, grace in expression and souls imbued with deepest sym- pathy for the human race in all its struggles upward. 19 Class Prophecy 1950 ERE I was strolling by the docks of Niew York tired, and penniless. Suddenly a cry greeted my ears, F.xtral Extra! Admiral Kowalski sails on a voyage . around the worldf, Because food and shelter were im- perative, I was determined to board the boat. A shrill voice and a green jacket of one of the newsies attracted my curiosity. Upon closer observation I was astonished to find Francis Hickey, my old classmate, still in the newspaper business. After conversing with Francis, I learned that his business was so enlarged that it required the services of Francis Boyce and Walter Kaminski to maintain its circulation. In the darkness I clambered aboard and endeavored to get below deck, but in my maneuvers I was discovered by a lazy sentry. VVho is there? he cried. No one,', - was my instinctive reply. This satisfied the vigilant guard who, I later discovered, was Reggy', Needham. To avoid discovery, I proceeded downstairs and hid in a barrel. In order to obtain a better idea of my surround- ings, I cautiously raised the lid and beheld six huskies feeding the boilers. Through the murky atmosphere it was hard to recognize 'ADick,' Calhane, Elmer Clark, 'AEddie Diamond, Irving Gottlieb, Dickv Sampson, and 'WVilley,' Silverman under the super- vision of the ruthless Paul Moss. IOSEPI-I TARcoNsK1, Prophet Suddenly the ship gave a lurch, upsetting the barrel and revealing me. The coal- heavers were overjoyed to see me again and I was conducted to the admiralls quarters where matters were straightened. Tony received me kindly and showed me about the ship. He informed me that the crew consisted of former Classicalites. George Stevens and Paul Sullivan were secondary officers who performed notably in their capacity. His ollice force consisted of Martha Abdella, Nellie,' Proctor, Louise Frantz, and 'Teggyw Huyck. The Annapolis graduate noticed that I was waging a losing battle with old man 'cMorpheus so he had Sherman Lewis lead me to my room. Next morning I strolled into the gymnasium and beheld a startling spectacle. Sidney Levine and George Hodgkinson were settling a grudge as to who was the outstanding bone-crusher of the crew. Such a clever exponent of the art was Sid,' that it didnit take him long to put I-Iutchl' hors de combat. Acting-physician Harvey Seagle, a graduate of 20 e Q Q, - esefe - A -M A A ea Vladivostok Medical School, stated that I-Iutchw would pull through if no complication arose. This is the only event of importance that occurred before we reached Paris. As the ship was to remain a few days, I decided to go sight-seeing. Franny', Ladd, who was prominent in Chicago stock circles, graciously donated me ten dollars to the cause of a new suit. Ladd's chief interest in France was the Hnancing of an odorless per- fume. Turning down the hrst street, who should I meet but Frank Glodis and 4'Izzy Paze- ian, now a happy married couple. They were about to leave for Egypt to engage in an exclusive overshoe trade with the natives. Frank told me that 6'Squeak,, Shippee,s heart had been broken by his matrimonial debut. As a result she had turned soloist for Station HOWL, which accounted for the breaking up of the broadcasting chain in France. Reluc- tantly we parted and I made my way to a theater. Mary Noone sold a ticket, which was guaranteed not to fade, at a discount. I was ushered to my seat by Ioe,, Deady and awaited the proceedings. A company of singers headed by Chef, Eaton and 4'Vin', O,Neil opened up the performance. Chet and Vin,, were not present because they were recuperating from a Hogging received at the hands of the inhabitants of Bordeaux, where the play was pre- viously presented. The chorus consisted of Bobby', Carroll, Walter Duby, and Alu WVhite, bassesg Anne Crosby, Evelyn Wilson, contraltosg and Estelle I-Iarrahy and Nettie Gurwitz, sopranos. The tenors, due to the strain of continuous singing, had disabled their vocal chords. Before I was comfortably settled, the group opened with a heart- rending shriek which shook the building to the very foundation. All the cash customers and even those who crashed, rushed pell-mell for the exits. I should have followed suit, but I was stricken with paralysis. When the curtain was lowered, all arose and cheered lustily that it should stay down. It took a great deal of persuasion by the owners, EddieU Smith and Paul Terry, to induce the terrified patrons to return to their seats. Iohn Keenan and Dick,, Rhodes followed with an act of magic, and how they escaped violence was indeed magical. Dick,' borrowed a dollar from one of the audi- ence and after making it disappear, couldn't make it reappear. This started a riot so I left in a sympathetic mood to avoid seeing the tragical end. Then I directed my steps toward a tea-room to partake of my favorite beverage before retiring. I entered the First one I came to and found to my surprise it was run by Made- line Army, K'DotU Cook, Fanny,' Lofman, and Marjorie Mohler. Madeline sold me something resembling Mississippi mud, which was known as coffee. The process was difficult, but eventually I managed to down the contents of my cup. The-next morning we set sail and our next stop found us in Cadiz, Spain. From there we journeyed to Seville to witness an exhibition of bull-fighting. Rumors were pre- valent that a certain Iames Kashmanero had aroused the envy of the natives by his sterling Z1 , . .. -., -. .,. ..... . - fi .

Such a gala affair was this to be, that even the brass miners from the Sierra Nevadas were present to see this bloody incident. Among the outstanding pick-wielders were our old friends Edward Lavanowicza, Francis Walsh, Maxwell Perman, and Philip Morse. Iimmy made short work of the bull and, after assembilng his dissevered limbs, he withdrew amid hoots and jeers. As an added attraction, Walter Kowal and Henry Williams staged a gladiatorial com- bat with oaken cudgels. 'KI-Iarry Narcus was elected to toll the fatal count of ten over the fallen victim,s body. After Kowal absorbed a few lusty thumps on his sparcely inhab- ited scalp, he succumbed to the gruelling onslaught of his opponent. Thomas Sullivan and Ioseph Pleasure, with tears streaming down their cheeks, re- moved the stiffened form to a medical institution, where Mary Robertson and Elizabeth Wheeler, Spain,s outstanding nursesi' took upon themselves his restoration. A We proceeded on our way and as we passed Algeria, a radio report came to our ship to the effect that Hollis Dann and EddieN Rothemick were leading a rebellion of the Algerian school children against their teachers. While sailing through the Mediterranean, we espied a struggling castaway battling frantically against the onrushing billows. From the immense size of his feet, I discerned Eddie,' Zalinsky, who was endeavoring to surpass Leanderis accomplishment of water. We landed at Alexandria and went to Cairo, the home of the Sultan. Iimmy Clif- ford and Mildred Casey were the domineering figures in this ancient land. Under their regime Egypt had risen to the height of prosperity until it now rivalled the glory and splendor of ancient Greece. Iohn Smith, an eminent scientist, was endeavoring to com- plete a formula whereby he could use nitric acid as a hair restorer. Iimmieis head min- strel was none other than Iohn Noricka. So melodious and seductive were his strains that he had succeeded in scattering the beasts of the land farther south. Alice Pazeian had advanced to esteemed and envied heights since she had superseded the historically famous Cleopatra. Peter Sullivan was the latest victim of the wiles of this enchantress. Aliceis suitors were said to outnumber those of her rivals of former days. Some of the unfor- tunate individuals were K'Tom,' Kiley, Bernie', Hebenstreit, and Alu Metrik. The Art Lovers' Union, consisting of Alvah Conant, Rosemary Ridler, and Sarah Peaslee daily journeyed to the Sphinx to provide it with proper nourishment and care. We left in deep regret and later docked at Bombay, India. To appease my keen desire for adventure, I strolled leisurely about the city. The Hrst object of interest which confronted me was a native seated nonchalantly on the sidewalk piping shrilly on a fish- horn. He gazed intently at a basket deposited a few feet from him. My inquisitive nature aroused, I came closer and to my inhnite astonishment I beheld Soupy,' Prentice, with his eyes closed in fervent prayer. VVhereupon Frank,' McGourty, the street com- 22 , W , ,a ,, C, , 7 ' ' T' I 'T ,, , . ,,..,7 ' , OCLASSHC Q QQ Q Miwmaaet gl missioner of Bombay, forced the pious snake charmer to take to his heels without his charming paraphernalia. Mary Reardon and Marion Mitchell were doing a Hourishing business as crystal gazers, but never had the good fortune of having the same customer call twice. The sign next door read Boorky,s Bounding Boloney and this accounted for a great portion of the Hindus being toothless. A party of volunteers headed by 'iluliw Nowicki were to undertake the capture of a man-eating tiger. Having a little time at my disposal, I sacrificed myself to this worthy cause. During our trip to the jungle, we happened upon a party of movie directors. i'Betty,' Blackinton and Nathan Osterman were the producers and had journeyed hither to see that they received an equal remuneration for their investment. The leading lady was Barbara Denny and her blushing Romeo none other than Bob I..aRoche. The pic- ture in question was entitled The Wail of the Bengalsi' and the wailing part did not warrant improvement. Milton Grant was the suave and dapper villain. Strategical means were employed to ensnare the monarch of the jungle. HarryU Klein, partially lowered from a tree by a rope was used as a bait. Except for a few lacerations and abrasions on the person of Mr. Klein, the tiger was killed. On my return I learned that Edward Englander and Iames Foley were responsible for the introduction of a new religion based mainly on the idea of repentance. Their routine required them to subject their anatomy to the torrid temperature of hot stove lids. We left the land of India and 'our next stop found us in Borneo. Here Virginia Allard and Marion Armitage conducted a home for the heartbroken where they soothed their patients with fragrant oils and balms. The most frequent callers were Benny,' Mysliwiec along with his protege, Solomon Rosen. The famed wild man of Borneo had been -ousted from his reputable position by Elwood Page and his inhuman antics. His irritable nature was conquered at length by Alice Lawton. 'cIackie Maher and Paul Shannon, outstanding ball-hawks, had been given a tryout with the Borneo Bushmenf' but had been driven to the showers so consistently that they made Chief Rain-in-the-Face seem like a typhoon. The Bushmen were being outfitted and financed by Selig Glick, who was grooming them for a game with the African Ant- killers,', coached by Miken Tashjian. This was to decide the Pygmy championship of the Eastern Hemisphere. In the recent Borneo National Open, Alice Moore had annexed the women's golf crown for which she received a rubber loving cup, donated by the advocates of steel cor- sets, composed of Sylvia Goff, Helen Kaplan, and Mary Cummings. 23 4-1 ctw, ,dana ...M ,- ....-f-mxiw,-. ---,aft .. . Almost any morning the illustrious naturalists, George Crosby and Lloyd Ienkins could be seen galloping in the woods and waving their nets madly above their heads in search of insect species. Looking over the stern, as we were leaving the uncivilized land, I was aware of two swarthy island dwellers diving for coins thrown from our ship. After a more concen- trated view, I perceived the contorted features of 'KBerge,' Tashjian and Milton Weihrauch. They were quite successful in their attempt till the passengers began to throw empty bottles because they suspected trickery. After a stormy voyage in the Indian Ocean we landed in Melbourne, Australia. 'lFrank,, Sullivan, Viceroy of Victoria, extended us a cordial welcome and gave us a reception that will long be remembered. A band under the leadership of Francis Cronin and his 'AAustralian Agitatorsn were engaged in a battle of music with a group of the opposite sex led by Betty O,Toole. The outstanding musicians of the male delegation were Norman Cross, and Charlie,' Goldstein. Those comprising the ladies, musical clique were Elizabeth Gallen, Mary Harris, and Maxine Kester. Gladys Marcus who was hostess to the British Viceroy was to decide in favor of one group after half an hour of band breaking. A conflict royal ensued and quickly scattered both judges and curious onlookers. All went well until the girls fearing defeat graciously pummelled their opponents with their instruments. Chef Cotton and his reserves quelled the riot by sprinkling the participants with water. After peace had been estab- lished, one member of the male organization was missing. A pandemonium of excite- ment broke loose in the search for the missing syncopator. Eventually Vincent Grudzis was discovered in a semi-conscious condition within the folds of Croninis gigantic horn. During our tour about the city we visited Victoriais famous zoo. The animal trainer here was our old acquaintance, Helen Deresh, who had a fond affection for lions simply because they were sometimes termed Leo Howard Vaughan and George Webster were seen daily splashing about in the public fountains training diligently for their oncoming battle with miniature sharks. Unwillingly, we left this picturesque land of leaping kangaroos, and leisurely drifted into the port of Buenos Aires. As our provisions were somewhat scant, we went to the nearest slaughter house for restocking. Upon entering, I noticed Nathan Sneiderman vainly swinging a cleaver, trying to exterminate a stubborn steer. Henry Pond and Theo- dore Posutman were in the farthest corners of the establishment just reviving from a coma. We procured twenty steers which we deemed would be sullicient for the remainder of the cruise. Gertrude O'Donnell, the cashier of this concern, was so busily engaged telling her chum, Dot,' Reynolds, who was also affiliated with this company, about the gay caballero she had encountered, that she shortchanged me several dollars. 24 ,Su ,V , . ,A-N ., CQCLZASSHCU CQ VM sffittiale 1 Mary Miller had achieved the distinction of being Argentinais sole feminine entrant in congressional affairs. Her most recent contribution was a law providing for a reduction in compensation for those injured during the rushes at mess calls. In the last outbreak of the Argentine Militia, Louis Zurlis was conspicuous because of his audacious practices. Benjamin Young, Sampson Mintz and Iacob Smith had been confined to the guard- house since they had been discovered at night devouring a side portion of a hog. The sentence would have been lenient had not Hugh Gorvin and Miriam Iagodnik, by special request, prepared the said animal for a banquet in honor of General Loomis. As it was, Harry had to satisfy his appetite with boiled-boot soup. At last we left for Rio de Ianeiro to witness the International Beauty Pageant where !'Betty,' McDermott was unanimously acclaimed the outstanding entrant. She attributed her success to her continuous eating of raw carrots. lncidentally the movie offers poured in from all 'over the different countries. Rejecting these, she undertook contracting in the Andes Mountains where she succeeded very well in contracting quite a few debts. Dorothy Ovenden and Lorna MacDonald were heads of a big rubber corporation, famous for their stretchless garters. Because of their popular demand, business was very prosperous. Great excitement reigned throughout the Brazilian city because a good-will Hier in the person of '6Margy Ryan had just descended from the planet Mars. The chief element in her achievement consisted in the extensive use of the jumping belts which had now come into fashion. Now our trip having been completed, we returned to Worcester Countyas famed Paxton Navy Yardf, where our ship was left for winter storage. Such, my fellow classmates, were the achievements of the Class of 1930. I trust these records will ever hold an enviable position in the annals of Classical's greatness. 25 What War Means To Us URING the last few years, the universal subject for f discussion has been World Peace. A world that has been swept by a mighty wave of revulsion to war seeks to educate us to the same feeling. It presents peace to us as our problem, and says, There it is. Now see what you can do with itf' Many movements are being carried on at the present time to promote World Peace-the World Court, the League of Nations, various disarmament discussions and treaties. Everyone knows about them, we meet them in the newspapers, in magazines, over the radio, on the pages of our history books. But we think of them much 1 as we do of great modern inventions-they are in the BARBARA DENNY hands of geniuses, men trained for the work, while the common people who ultimately are to be most greatly affected merely sit by and await results. We feel that it is the diplomats who decide the success or failure of outlawing war. And that is why peace has become a negative thing, lacking individual appeal. It is impersonal, vague, unimpressive. lt is our part, then, in the solution of the problem to find the stimulus and force to make the peace proposition go. Few of us in this graduating class were over six when the Armistice was signed. lt is evident then that the majority of us were not directly affected by the war, or in fact, actually remember anything about it. Within the last two years, however, there has come a medium through which we have been able to grasp the significance of war- the horror, the muck, and gore of it-and that is through war literature. lt is one thing to read casually of naval disarmament, and an-other to read, All Quiet on the Western Fronti' and think, What if some of the boys Iive laughed and studied and danced with had to go through that Hellln ulourneyys Endl' brought us out of ourselves, it wrung our hearts, it tortured us with its stark reality, it made us weak with the force of its action, it showed us War! The Case of Sergeant Grieschaf' and I'lt,s a Great Warly' swayed us because they were human! Through these, war has become a reality to us. 26 6-1 V ,Y . 7,1X , EUOCLASSEHC O QQ Q .nfriyoienilesoq The generation which carried on the great war is soon to give way to us, who have young blood in our veins, and untried strength. Of course, we cannot say that the burden of the entire movement has been laid on young shoulders, and yet we are constantly being impressed with the fact that it is our future, our interests, our lives that are being safe- guarded. War is a horrible actuality. What we did not know ourselves, we have learned through the experience of others. It is only through personal reactions, through realiza- tions that have been driven home to us individually that peace can become as real. We know what war would mean to the children, having to eat prunes and economize on candy, to the women, nursing or working in munition factories, to the men, actual service in innumerable ways-to all of us, suffering and grief. It is most difficult for us to sense what prevention of war would mean. The comprehension of that, and the bringing of its significance to others, it seems to me, is our part in this great problem of world peace. How it is to be done, we do not know, but we are confident that it will be done. 27 Our Future, Its Threats and Promises ODAY, according to the sages of our little World, We are embarking upon a tumultuous voyage, our way will be beset by distracting temptations and enervating hardships, but always, our ultimate goal must be Success. Success! I challenge that word, or rather the interpreta- tion customarily placed upon it. To the average, it sym- bolizes worldly prosperity, accumulated Wealth or notable prominence in one,s chosen field. Though Within our ranks there may be some cursed, or blessed if you prefer, with the touch of Midas, though the budding genius of certain of our classmates may elevate them to the lofty peak of Renown, yet, for the most part, we are mediocre. Since, then, the universal conception of Success is to us unattainable, What will represent the mark tovvard which We bend our every effort? Happiness, a perpetual state of bliss, dull monotony? MARY LETITIA MILI.ER No, but rather the scrupulously careful molding of our lives into a complete miniature artistry. We have just completed an intensive twelve-year training in the World's ideal public school system. We are a liability to society and must not only square this deficit, but contribute some constructive work as a token of our sincere appreciation, that is, elevate general standards and advance our associates, ideals. It is only by concentrated self-cultivation that We may achieve this laudable end. Do as I say, but not as I don fades into insignificance in opposition to the truly convinc- ing argument, Probe my record, then follow my exampleff But the achievement of these apparent miracles necessitates developing qualities in which other men are Wanting. The poet is differentiated from the mere man in that the commonplace to him holds vital signihcance. May not our reaction to life be as responsive as his? As Time will roll its ceaseless course, We shall instinctively harden, steel ourselves against adversity With the buoyant hope that We may become invulnerable. But as We rigidly suppress our emotions to protect ourselves against pain, We destroy that sensitive, invaluable part of self which is responsive to the lofty appeal of nature. To be keen, sensi- 28 69 , ,,,,n f-Ns CGC QCEQASSXTTC Q 94 e ee a tive, alert, to appreciate fully the infinite beauty of a sunset, a spring thaw, roadside Howers, a cheery face in a passing throng, thus can we gain not only a humility of spirit, but a loftiness of soul which will lift us far above any antagonistic force. Thence, too, will come a complete understanding which will help us' comprehend the inclemencies of Fate and safeguard us against the Slough of Despond. Thus may we make living not squirrel-cage routine, not dull drudgery, but a series of enriching pleasures. So, rather than reducing our existence to a lifeless struggle to satisfy physical necessities, we shall have created something celestial. And what will be the reaction of those with whom we daily come in contact? There can be but one, for once we have subdued Necessity, Fate, Luck, call it what you will, we shall radiate congeniality and our steadfast appeal will draw others to the optimism of our inHuence. Then may we teach them the pernicious danger of becoming purblind to the commonplace beauty of this awe-inspiring' universe in which we dwell. Let our rec-ords be living, pulsating examples of the quotation, Great nature spokeg observant man obeyedf, 29 i Our Debt to Chemistry HERE is a popular pastime in which one may indulge in spare moments which is called reflec- tion.', It comes to everyone at some time or other in the . form of a question-K'What would the present be if the past had been different? It helps one to appreciate the bounties of life. i In the study of chemistry some of the earliest ques- tions are: What if the science of chemistry were not known? What if there had been no alchemists in those romantic days of long ago? What if Avogrado, Priestly, Dalton and other pioneer discoverers had not lived to bring chemistry out of the dark shadows which sur- rounded it such a short time ago and into the enlightened stage of present-day understanding? Life in all certainty would be far different from what it is today. It is true N that we should be happy regardless, but think of our material well-being and the enrichment it receives from chemistry. RICHARD W. RHODES The electric light was a sorry and costly article, com- paratively, when it first glowed in Eclison's crude laboratory. Taken in hand by practical chemists, it has been transformed into one of our most useful and efficient servants embodying several important chemical principles. As we go about our daily life, there is hardly anything with which we have contact that does not have some vital connection with chemistry. We, at least some of us, are kept warm in winter by chemically prepared petroleumg we preserve our food with chem- ical refrigerants in iceless ice boxes, and our health is safeguarded by medical chemists throughout the year. Our drinking water is examined and purified, if necessary, and our food is inspected by chemists. 7 Chemistry is not responsible for everything, nor should it be esteemed higher than physical phenomena, yet there is nothing so fascinating or so useful and varied as chemical manifestations. Within the last Hfty years chemistry has taken enormous strides, and in so doing has become increasingly responsible for our prosperity. lt is even said that it has made pos- sible the metal age. The millions of tons of metal now in use could never have been produced without the aid of chemistry and metallurgy, a closely related science. It is 30 V . ., ,. Y,-x , eiuaseiie Q CQ Q MTYTHS0 interesting to note that only sixty years ago, aluminum, now one of our cheapest and most useful metals, was a laboratory curiosity whose future had not then been dreamt of. Only three metals occur free in nature, and of these only one is a common metal, all others occurring only as compounds mixed with impurities. This is where chemistry enters as the only possible means of obtaining metal as we know it. Thus, when you stop to consider the industries fed by iron smelters alone, you gain some idea of the part chem- istrv plays in this connection. It has a much more important role in securing our food supply, since the greater part of agriculture today depends on synthetic fertilizer, the supply of natural fertilizer being inadequate. Chemistry has also helped immensely in an indirect way in giving us widespread education, for it produces all but a small fraction of our book, news, and writing paper, and in addition the ink for printing and writing on this paper. It has given us light and cleanliness by providing crystal-clear glass for windows, bottles, and various apparatus. It has lightened remarkably the fuel problem in congested areas by giving us water gas, which can be lighted in a second and extinguished as quickly after furnishing clean, intense heat for just the time desired. Chemistry is also responsible for certain other articles much in evidence about school for the past month or so and autographed with the best penmanship used in many a day. I mean photographs. These are only a few of the benefits we get from chemistry. Last year it was stated by Slosson, a well known text-writer, that chemistry is advancing more rapidly than any of the other sciences. ls it possible that nature holds secret as much knowledge as has already been wrested from her, or even much more? If this is true, what a glorious future lies in wait for the research chemist with ability! 31 fsocifcrltgsl C. H. S. D. A. The Classical High School Debating Assembly did not get underway until almost midyear, because of conflicting dates which made it impractical to hold evening meet- ings. However, the bi-weekly fourth hour meetings were attended by approximately fifty members and the Assembly continued its reputation of being one of the most active clubs in the school. Thirty-three members competed for the annual Bergen Prize Award. The eight finalists were Vincent 0'Neil, Iames Kashman, David Power, Iames McGrady, Peter Sullivan, Henry Smith, Lawrence Healy and George Grodberg. Prizes were awarded to O,Neil, Kashman, Power and McGrady in the order named. For the third consecutive year the Assembly was represented in the International Oratorical Contest. Hirtzl Rome, our representative, survived the VVorcester semi-finals and won the Worcester County title. Representing the county at Utica, he won creditable mention, but did not place. The success of C. H. S. D. A. is due to the efforts of Mr. Howe, our faithful faculty adviser, and the following officers: president, Peter Sullivan, vice-president, Iames Spel- lane, secretary, Harvey Seagle, and treasurer, David Power. Student Council During the past year, the Student Council has achieved notworthy success. Owing to its earnest efforts, numerous school activities have been run with unprecedented smooth- ness. The officers elected at the opening meeting of September 14, 1929, were as follows: Francis Hickey, president, Barbara Denny, vice-president, Mary Miller, secretary. The officers, first function was the appointing of various committees whose duty it was to care for such details as the tidiness of the building, the program for assemblies, and the traffic outside the building at recess and at noon. The Argus received loyal support from the Council in the matter of canvassing for subscriptions. Parents, Night, an event regularly managed by the student government exclusively, this year especially merited praise. President Francis Hickey acted as master of ceremonies while the entire Council served as the ushering squad. Mr. Wassell and the musical organizations acting as sponsors of the operetta found the Council their willing servants, as the entire body sold tickets energetically, and various members contributed their services as ushers. Through innumerable minor services, the Council has made itself indispensable to the school, possibly the most significant of these has been the Councilis attempt to place the school on a loftier moral standard by means of a rigid enforcement of the Code of Honor. The regular senior council members are Barbara Denny and Vincent O'Neil, Room 4g Mary Cummings, Room 5, Mary Miller and Francis Hickey, Room 6, Alice Moore and Paul Shannon, Room 8. The members-at-large are Alvah Conant, Hollis Dann, Chester Eaton, Elizabeth McDermott, and Elizabeth O'Toole. 32 Science Club On September 5, 1929, an organization meeting of the Science Club was held, and the following officers elected for the year: presi- N l dent, Paul Sullivan, vice-president, Barbara Denny, secretary, Anne E. Crosby, treasurer, Floyd Pero. However, Pero left and his position was filled by the subsequent election of George Crosby. The pro- - --if grams, arranged by George Stevens, consisted of papers -on such widely varied subjects as photography, refrigeration, smokeless pow- der, and rubber. Twice motion pictures constituted entertainment. Although the club membership is small, the faithful attendance of both the members and our faculty advisers, Mr. O,Regan and Mr. Arey, has shown that there is no lack of interest. BOTANY RESEARCH CLUB The Botany Research Club has had another successful year. The meetings, held every second and fourth Wednesday evening, have been both interesting and instructive. The annual outing to Mr. Rice's camp in Hubbardston was held again this year and one of the best times ever, was enjoyed by those who went. Plans are being made now for the annual trip to the Agassiz Museum in Cambridge. There is also a third trip in view this year, a visit to Cedar Hill, the Massachusetts Girl Scout reservation, VValtham, where excellent botanical specimens may be found. The officers of the club are as follows: presi- dent, Alice Lawton, vice-president, Iane Sroczynskag secretary, Agnes Steinhilberg treas- urer, Edward Buyniski. AGASSIZ CLUB Under the following officers: president, Ietta Hatch, vice-president, Elizabeth O'T0ole, secretary, Anna Marie O'Connorg scribe, Charles Farrell, the Agassiz Club has completed another successful year. Lectures, programs of marked interest, and trips, educational, yet highly enjoyable, have been arranged under the careful supervision of Mr. O'Flynn, the faculty adviser. A visit to the Town Talk Baking plant succeeded in rous- ing the enthusiasm of old and new members, while trips to the Agassiz Museum at Har- vard and the Lancaster Bird Museum, planned for the future, give promise of still greater interest. The purpose of the Agassiz Club, which is to further an interest in the study of biology, has undoubtedly been faithfully carried out. PYTHAGOREAN CLUB Under the supervision of Miss Pierce, the Pythagorean Club has enjoyed, during the past year, some very interesting and instructive programs based chiefly upon the sub- ject of the number systems leading to the development of the Hindu-Arabic System into our present numerals. The speaker this year was Professor Aldrich of the Worcester Academy, who gave a lecture on Astronomy and Its Connection With Mathematicsf' Two meetings were given over to lantern slides, -one on astronomy, the other on number systems and reckonings. At the Ianuary meeting the members presented a short play, Suppose There Were No Mathematicsf' which amused and interested the followers of Pythagoras. The average attendance was about thirty-eight. The officers for the year ending Iune, 1930, were president, Richard Rhodes: first vice-president, Arthur Com- toisg second vice-president, Mary Cummings, secretary, Rachel Bell, treasurer, Edward Diamond, chairman of the program committee, Mary Miller. 33 ARGUS BOARD 'ARGUS' The Argus, now a Hrmly established school institution, has emerged from the ranks of mediocrity and has become a paper of rare merit. It has the distinction of being a charter member of the National Scholastic Press Association, an organization to which only secondary school journals of accepted rating are granted membership. To Chester Eaton we owe the highest praise for the faithful service he has given the Argus as editor- in-chief for two successive years. Eaton's assisting staff, this year one of the smallest in the paper's history, but also one of the most competent, likewise deserves credit for the excellency of its work. Although the entire board merits esteem, possibly the skill with which the School Notes Department has been managed is more remarkable than that of previous years. From the pen of the literary editors have sprung some essays, stories, poems, and satires which are beyond reproach. The standard editions of the Argus are comprised of editorials, school activities, an athletic and literary department, and Tickle Toes,', the joke column. The April copy, quite ingeniously entitled, The Classical Gasjette, the paper that lights the href, is note- worthy for its trueiwit and originality. The February issue, owing to the fact that it con- tains a school directory, is invaluable to both students and faculty. Miss Elizabeth B. Watson, because of ill health, retired early in the year from the position of faculty adviser of the literary board, but Miss Ruth C. Phillips cheerfully as- sumed her responsibilities in spite of the fact that she was already devoting much time to the Argus in the capacity of general supervisor of the entire paper. Miss Gertrude E. Williams, foster-mother of the Argus in the days of its infancy, consented to assist Miss Phillips. It has been largely due to the encouragement and enterprising ideas of these two teachers that the Argus has experienced such a successful year. We are indebted to Mr. David K. Arey for his elhcient management of the business board. To the school in general, the Argus has been a source of inestimable enjoyment, while to the staljr proper, it has been a valuable experience and a distinct pleasure.

During the early fall many interesting short plays were presented at the club meetings. Early in December the meetings of the club ceased and rehearsals for scenes from the first and second acts of K'Macbeth,' began. Those taking part were Macbeth, Vincent G'Neil, Lady Macbeth, Pearl Masterman, Duncan, Paul Terry, Lennox, Robert LaRoche, Ross, George Crosby, Macdufl, Paul Sullivan, Fleance, Henry Smith, Banquo, Berge Tashjian, Malcolm, Maurice Mitchell, Donalbain, Marion Armitage, First Witch, Madeline Army, Second Witch, Virginia Allard, Third Witch, Louise Shippee, Porter, Francis Hickey, Messenger, Paul Moss. This presentation was given before the student body on Ianuary 29th. Like the Ben Greet players, they used no scenery, but as Mr. Post explained, the lack of scenery and costumes made the Shakespearean setting complete. Immediately after the Macbeth', presentation, Mr. Post commenced the rehearsals for the senior play. The Tailor Made Mani' was the play chosen, it had the advantage of having a modern setting and modern costumes. The characters were as follows: lohn Paul Bart, Paul Terry, Tanya Huber, Anna Marie O'Connor, Mr. Huber, Harvey Seagle, Peter, Arnold Freedman, Doctor Sonntag, Leo Laskoll, Mr. Rowlands, Bernard Heben- streit, Pomeroy, Harvey Seagle, Mrs. Stanlaw, Barbara Denny, Mr. Stanlaw, George Stev- ens, Corinne Stanlaw, Pearl Masterman, Mrs. Fitzmorris, Virginia Allard, Mr. Fitz- morris, Robert LaRoche, Mr. Iellicott, Iames Kashman, Marjorie Congreve, Mary Robert- son, Sally Glenroy, Marion Mitchell, Mr. Fleming, Francis Ladd, Mr. Crane, Hollis Dann, Bobby Westlake, George Crosby, Glady Merry, Betty Wheeler, Wheating, Edward Zalinsky, Mrs. Kitty Dupuy, Louise Shippee, Bessie Dupuy, lane Sampson, Dwight Humphrey, Alvah Conant, Miss Shayne, Madeline Army, Mr. Grayson, Sheldon Childs, Mr. Whitcombe, Walter Kowal, Mr. Russell, Paul Sullivan, Mr. Cain, Edward Zalinsky, Mr. Flynn, Berge Tashjian. The presentation took place at Tuckerman Hall on May 16th and the enthusiasm of the audience convinced us that no mistake had been made either in the choice of the play or the selection of the cast. The production certainly revealed the unlimited effort and preparation devoted to it by Mr. Post. It had an interesting plot which depicted the rise of lohn Paul Bart, an ambitious, young tailoris hand, in the world of finance. There were many humorous incidents as well as a few touches of pathos which, in both cases, were added by Harvey Seagle, who played two roles, that of Mr. Huber and Pomeroy, the jovial valet of Mr. Iellicott. 37 Aletheia The Aletheia Literary and Debating Society is the oldest organization for high school girls in Worcester. It was organized December 2, 1881, and will soon celebrate its fiftieth birthday. Until recently, the club devoted its time to declaiming and debating. For the past two years, however, a new plan has been adopted. The members now expend their efforts in the study of modern literature. The membership is limited to thirty junior and senior girls and five sophomores who have received at least HBH in all subjects. This year the girls decided to spend the first twenty-weeks studying the best of the modern novels and novelists and the last twenty weeks reading the works of modern poets. Miss Shaughnessy, the faculty adviser, was extremely helpful to the program com- mittee. Many very interesting and instructive meetings were arranged by this committee, which consisted of Elizabeth Wheeler, chairman, Anne Crosby, Barbara Denny, Pearl Masterman and Iean MacGregor. The climax of the year was the contest in original composition. The material was judged on 'originality and form. Miss Watson, Miss Fitzpatrick and Miss Woodis served as the judges. Ruth Reidyjs essay on Cats won first prize, Barbara Gilmore's poem Snow,' won second, and Barbara Denny's poem March Nightl' won third. Mr. Fenner was the donor of the prizes which were received at an assembly in june. The ofhcers who carried the Aletheia through such a successful year were Mary Miller, presidentg Mary Cummings, vice-president, Anna Marie O'Connor, secretary, Grace Taylor, treasurer. 38 Stamp Club The general aim of the Stamp Club is to promote interest in stamps, to instruct begin- ners, and to provide service for more advanced collectors. At each meeting, to further this aim, Stanlp discussions are held, stamps are exchanged, and approval and first day cover services are carried on. The outstanding event of the year was a combined meeting of the North, South, Commerce, and Classical clubs at Commerce High School, when Mr. Coes gave an illustrated talk on stamps, and Mr. Paul Savage showed his Saarwaak collection. The club is under the guidance of Mr. Couming and the present ollicers are as fol- lows: president, Alvah Conant, vice-president, lean MacGregor, secretary, B. Austin Coates, treasurer, Franklin Brown, chairman of the program committee, Iames Durning. The l-ll-Y Club The Class of l93O at Classical l-ligh School has the unique distinction of having fur- nished two presidents for the Hi-Y Federation: George Stevens, who served during his junior year, and Chester Eaton, who has just completed his term. Under both, the federa- tion activities, including monthly meetings, dances, annual football banquets, college nights, and parents' nights, as well as participation in Massachusetts and Rhode Island Hi-Y conference, have been complete. During the presidency of George Stevens, the Classical Hi-Y Club has had one of its most active years with a membership increase of nearly twenty members. Discussions and talks constituted the formal programs, while bowling, swimming, and basketball followed the meeting. Girl Reserves The Classical Girl Reserves Club has enjoyed one of its most active years with weekly meetings at the Y. W. C. A. and many special athletic and social events. Bridge parties, bowling parties, dances, and participation in the annual Y stuntw night have featured the program. The annual Hi-Y-Girl Reserve dance was held at the Y. W. C. A. and at- tended by the largest group in the club's history. The club activities have been admin- istered by Betty Haskins, president, Lucille Roy, vice-president, Dorothy Corbin, secre- tary, and Harriet Saity, treasurer. 39 Orchestra The spell-binding music of the orchestra has often thrilled the burst of applause for the orchestra's artistic efforts. The grins on the faces of the players then show that they feel themselves amply repaid for their long hours of practice. assembly into breathless appreciation,-and finally ended with a worthy Both Orchestra A and Orchestra B have done work deserving of high praise throughout the year. Orchestra Els chief purpose is to train possible material for Orchestra A, which has some of the finest high school players one can Hnd in this section. Besides appearing in concert before the assembly and some- times adding flavor to an assembly program thc two orchestras were important features at the Pop Concert, which took place May 27th. A special group of players from Orchestra A did especially fine accompaniment work for the opcretta, The Maid and the Middyf' and this same group also played between the acts of the senior play. Under Mr. Wassell,s direction, the organization has maintained its unusually high standard, and at all times has cheerfully offered its services. He may feel entirely grati- lied with the excellency of the work of the orchestra which is representative of his success with all the other musical organizations. The officers for the year were president, Hollis Dann, secretary, Margaret Ridlerg librarians and accompanists, Virginia Allard and Sidney Levine. 40 GIRLS, GLEE CLUB BOYS' GLEE CLUB l i A Kithara Club For the musically-minded students of Classical, the Kithara Club, since 1922, has striven hard and succeeded admirably, in fulfilling their desire for more music apprecia- tion. The club was organized as a result of the interest aroused in the Music Memory Contest, and its twenty-five charter members have grown to sixty, the limit set by the club's constitution. There is, however, a large waiting list. Miss Peirce the facult adviser, conducted the 'or anization on a Musical Tour , , . y . . g . . Around the World ' this year. ln this tour, the national aspects and characteristics of the music of the following countries were featured: Scandinavia, Russia, Bohemia, Hungary, Italy, France, Germany, England and America. The members of the club were transferred from one countr to another b means of a ro riate readin s taken chiefl from modern H Y l H Y U PP' P g , Y magazines, and characteristic music made possible by the new victrola. Early in March, the club was entertained with a cosmopolitan program by W. S. Lynch and his two daughters who play the marimba and the Xylophone. As these two instruments are rather unusual, they caused considerable interest, but the music evoked by the players soon changed the wonder of the listeners to pure delight. Miss Peirce most unselfishly devotes much time to this club, but, because of her love for music, feels she is entirely repaid by the happiness brought to the members. The oFHcers for the year were president, Nathan Sniederman, vice-president, Henry Smith, secretary, Evelyn Wilson, treasurer, Iames Kashman, and chairman of the program committee, Henrietta Wilner. 42 l C. H.. S, Band Two weeks after the opening of the school year the band appeared before the student body and gave an excellent demonstration of the Spirit of Classical. With little previous drill it nobly fulfilled its autumnal duty of playing at the inter-high football games and then settled down for steady practice under Mr. Wassell. Beginning with a nucleus of twenty-three members, not so many years ago, the band has grown until now its total number is forty-three. All these members have been out- fitted with striking new blue uniforms, trimmed with white braid, which give the boys a smart military air. Attired in these newly acquired suits, the organization did credit to the school at the open-air Band Field Day on April 22nd, at Fitton Field. The band, at various times, has appeared before the assembly and has also played out of town engage- ments which have brought in fair profits. This money, added to what has been received from the sale of tickets for the Pop Concert, will help to defray the expenses of the new uniforms. Iohn Deedy and Carrol O,Connor have done their best to outclass each other in baton twirling, but to no avail. They both have all the amazing tricks characteristic of their art which so puzzles appreciative audiences. The officers of the band for this year were president, Hollis Dann, treasurer, Nathan Sneidermang secretary, Robert Dawg and manager, Iames Kashman. 43 iso I L f Parents? Night The most important of all our school functions took place Wednesday evening, December llth. Of course you know instantly that that function was Parents, Night. The warm welcome given by Francis Hickey, the president of the Student Council, made the large number of parents feel at home. Then came that march which will never grow old, Sousals Stars and Stripes Forever,', played by Orchestra A. The Girls, Glee Club was represented by Miss Gertrude Iohnson who sang l'Wake Up with artistic ability. Following A Hungarian Fantasy by the orchestra, Mr. Fenner gave the address of the evening. It was short and to the point. He outlined briefly the advantages which private schools have over public schools in the preparation of school work. Many of the parents nodded their heads as if to say, I told you sofa when he mentioned the fact that the pupil rnust study two hours daily outside of school in order to do creditable work. His address was followed by the Boys' Glee Club which rendered To All You Ladiesi' with character- istic finesse. At last the climax of the evening, the meeting between parents and teachers, was reached. It was then that mother and dad learned of Tom or Iim's standing in his school work. And so a plasant evening was had by all,,' but we wonder if T-om or Iim,s morning afteri' was as pleasant. Junior Prom All four classes and all four high schools were represented at the Iunior Prom or the Class of l930. It took place on Friday evening, February Sth, at the State Mutual Annex, and was one of the most delightful dances ever held by any organization con- nected with Classical. This was the first dance, with the exception of the senior proms, to boast of dance orders. Dreamy waltzes, lively fox-trots and even indigo blues were contributed to the occasion by Claw Clements, eight Music Weavers. Scores of dancers were in attendance, and the happy faces, the merry laughter, and the gay gowns of the girls presented a colorful scene. During the intermission refreshments were served by the committee, consisting of Chester Eaton, chairman, Anne Crosby, Barbara Denny, Betty McDermott, Vincent O'Neil, and Peter Sullivan. The patrons and patronesses were Mr. and Mrs. Fenner, Mr. and Mrs. McKinley, and Mr. and Mrs. Rice. Charles Howell and Peter Sullivan had charge -of the checking rooms. At eleven o'clock the dance, voted the best ever, came to an end. 44 5 cc , Y Y ,W WY Y . 7,7 Y, Y Y. Y . . D ,Y W W-MJ' foreruaaesesae 0 Q55 Misgrfirigaiisgfgfg C, ' 'TXc..!

The program consisted of varied numbers so arranged as to include all of the different musical groups of the school. Orchestra B opened the program with the lively f'Marine Bandf' The delightfully soft music of Orchestra A strikingly contrasted with the more stirring tunes -of the band. The Girls, Glee Club, a selected chorus, with Ger- trude Iohnson as soloist contributed the feminine side of the program. A specialty dance by six girls of the senior class, Alice and Isabel Pazeian, Marjorie Ryan, Alice Moore, Betty McDermott and Natalie Nathan proved an astounding hit. The boys were represented by members of the Boys' Glee Club, seven cowboys selected from the latter organization, and Vincent O'Neil, who contributed a humorous pianologue. This evening was heartily enjoyed by those who attended, and it is hoped that the pop concert will be a yearly feature. Senior Dance Christmas Capersn was the appropriate name given to the annual senior dance, which was held at Hildreth Hall, Girls' Trade School, on Friday evening, December 20th. Music for the dancing was supplied by Claw Clements' popular Music VVeavers. Although the usual Alumni Day celebration was omitted on account of vacation, a large number of graduates were seen among the crowd of dancers. During the intermission, while refresh- ments were being served, the alumni found an opportunity to renew old friendships and rerninisce with the teachers. The three hours of enjoyment were due to the earnest efforts of the committee composed of Chester Cotton, chairman, Chester Eaton, Louise Shippee, Anne Crosby, and Berge Tashjian. The chaperons were Mr. and Mrs. Fenner, Mr. and Mrs. Brennan, and Mr. Post. The dance came to an end at eleven oiclock, and was pro- nounced a success by all those present. The Operetta Delightful scenery, glorious rhythm, charming voices, and Mr. Wassell's careful guidance aided in making the musical clubs, presentation, The Maid and the Middyf, an outstanding achievement in the musical activities of the year. Helen Lock as the beautiful heiress, Valerie Vane, was superb. Yet she was not alone in her success. Sydney Levine as the hero with his corps of dashing young middies danced and sang his way into more than one heart, while George Crosby and his immortal Anita in their romance, kept the suspense of the audience aroused until the curtain dropped for the last time. The other members of the cast: Charles Farrell, Harvey Seagle, George Stevens, Vincent O,Neil, Gertrude Iohnson, Barbara Denny, and Agnes Steinhilber supported the princi- pals nobly. The chorus of fair maidens swaying to the melody of the orchestra presented a most alluring picture. The whole performance manifested Mr. Wassellis long hours of preparation and his zeal to display the remarkable talent and dramatic ability at Classical. 45 SPGIQTSI Wearers of the MCB and 66W99 GIRLS HOCKEY CS, Betty O'Toole QCaptainj Virginia Houghton QManagerj Alice Lawton Marjorie Ryan Isabel Pazeian Phyllis Prendergast Anna Marie O,Connor Sibyl Gould Mary Miller Hortense Crosby Betty McDermott Dorothy Sampson Doris Tucker BASKETBALL CLASS CHAMPIONS Class Emblems Freshman Mary Brown CCaptainj Bernice McCarthy Barbara Tunison Elizabeth Carroll Margaret Ferguson Iean White Vera Adam juniors Grace Taylor CCaptainj Virginia Houghton Ruth Damerell Dorothy Murch Sophie Tanona Doris Tucker Dorothy Sampson Iane Sroczynska VARSITY BASKETBALL HCS' Betty McDermott QCaptainQ Alice Lawton CManagerj Betty O'Toole Ruth Damerell Dorothy Sampson Virginia Houghton Phyllis Prendergast Isabel Pazeian Grace Taylor Hcxrtense Crosby Doris Tucker Dorothy Murch BOYS CROSS-COUNTRY WH Harold Loomis CCaptainj 46 ,iff-.

The first events on the track calendar were the cross-country runs, in both of which we placed third. In the indoor track meets our sophomores placed first, our freshmen and seniors, second, and the juniors, third. The trackmen entered five additional contests,-the New Hampshire meet, the state relay, the Worcester county meet, the Tech interscholastics, and a dual contest with Fitchburg, in all of which they placed high, although not rating first berth. Her inter-high track victory at the Class Games practically assured Classical of the all- round inter-high athletic championship for the city, and her subsequent victories in basket- ball have assured her of the honor, with Commerce as runner-up. 48 Football We undoubtedly are proud of our football teaml And why shouldn7t we be? The playing was clean, hard, and extremely successful. The teamls first game, with Providence Technical High, proved the need of more practice for we were defeated by a score of 12-0. However, in our first inter-high series game Classical won over South by a score of 7-0. This victory consequently put us in the leading position in the series. In the second inter-high series game Classical retained its lead by defeating North. This win put our team in a very advantageous position for championship honors. On October 26th at Nashua, New Hampshire, we were taken, 14-0 by the Nashua High gridsters. Again on November 2nd we lost to Manchester Central High. The reason for our out-of-town defeats can be attributed to the greater weight of the opposing teams and also to their being the strongest teams of this section. Our teamis grim battle against the Commerce High eleven which ended in a scoreless tie, brought to Classical the 1929 football championship. The memorable day of this game of games will long remain with us. It would be foolish to pick the individual stars, for we feel that every man shone in his particular position. The regular team was composed of George Hodgkinson, captaing Paul Shannon, Bernard Hebenstreit, Iackie Maher, Paul Lajoie, 6'TonyH Ignatovich, 'iMickey,' O'Reilly, Abe,' Beleson, NAV, Metrik, Bohn Carroll and Edu Zalinsky. We offer the team and Coach Cantwell our heartiest congratulations! 49 BASKETBALL TEAM BASEBALL TEAM 1 9 Boys Basketball Those of us who graduate this Iune will carry away many pleasant memories of the battles fought on the diamond, the gridiron, and the 2 basketball floor, and none are more memorable than those fought by that gallant group of basketball victors. This remarkable season was opened 5+ with a defeat at the hands of Leominster High, the score being 31-27. However, this only fired our boys to greater effort and enthusiasm. We won our Hrst inter-high series game with a score of 28-21 against North. In the following game the Tech Seconds defeated us. Then Classical took the St. Iohnls into camp with a 22-14 count. Our next opponents, South and Worcester Business College, were defeated in spite of their game showings. Our third and last defeat was administered by Commerce when they piled up a 24-15 score. Follow- ing this, came successive wins over North, Worcester Academy Seconds, St. Iohn's, and South. Now we come to our greatest game of the season, namely, the Classical-Commerce clash. The boys all played a fine game and scored 34 against their opponents' 22. The result of this decisive game tied Classical and Commerce for championship honors. We followed up our victory by overcoming the Tech Seconds. Classical entered the Whitins- ville tournament and brought more laurels to our school by defeating Natick and North- bridge, thus winning the central Massachusetts championship. As a reward the team was presented a beautiful cup to be kept at Classical. At the close of the season we had accum- ulated twelve victories out of fifteen games. Coach Cantwell and all the boys are to be congratulated for their marvelously successful work. The regular team consisted of Targonski, l.f., Crockett, r.f., Hodgkinson, cg Shannon, l.g.g and Glodis, r.g. Baseball Indeed, fortune was with us this year, for we had retained most of the veterans of last year's team. From the very beginning of the inter-high series everything looked prom- ising. The season's first game was played on the cold afternoon of April 23rd in Clinton, where we easily won over Clinton High by a score of 11-3. In the two succeeding games we defeated Commerce, 12-3 and Leominster High, 14-11. Then followed two defeats, one by St. Iohn's, and another by Fitchburg. The latter game was very close, Shannon excelled at bat while McCafferty yielded but six safe blows. Classical next overcame South with a 5-4 score. In this game Ioe Targonski sparkled. He gave only seven hits while he was responsible for thirteen strike-outs. During the remainder of the season we were victorious and won the much desired inter-high crown. Paul Shannon, the first baseman of this crack team, is in Mr. Cantwell's estimation, the only athlete ever to attain five W's in one year. This is a remarkable achievement and we congratulate Paul whole-heartedly. 51 HOCKEY TEAM TENNIS TEAM Girlsl Hockey With seven members of the 1928 team as a nucleus, complemented by four able and willing teammates, Classical started the hockey season with a win. The game was not a Uwalkawayw but our girls showed 'X the necessary last spurt and came in on the large end of a 2-1 score llme against Commerce. ln the next game, we reversed the score making it is P 2-1 in favor of North. Again in the succeeding game Classical came out at the small end of the score, 1-0 in favor of South High. Starting the second round against Commerce, Classical showed her original stamina but was unable to break a 1-1 deadlock before the final whistle. NVe played our next game with South High. Again we lost to them, 1-0. A game with Niorth, which had been postponed, was played November 1st and Classical made a lighting attempt to come through with another win, but the game ended in a tie, 1-1. Betty,' O'Toole was the captain this year, and Virginia Houghton, our able manager. The squad, team and subs, consisted of the following: Virginia Houghton, Mary Miller, Marjorie Ryan, Elizabeth McDermott, Dorothy Sampson, Anna Marie O,Connor, Elizabeth O'Toole, Hortense Crosby,,Doris Tucker, Isabel Pazeian, Alice Lawton, Sibyl Gould, and Phyllis Prendergast. Miss Whitin,s faithful and untiring work with the girls has whipped into shape excel- lent material for next year,s team. We wish her luck! She deserves a rising vote of thanks. Tennis This year the tennis squad, an unusually large one, consisted of fourteen girls: captain Gertrude Budish, Mary Smith, Ruth Friedman, Virginia Conant, Gladys Iohnson, Pearl Masterman, Alice Lawton, Kathleen Horgan, Phyllis Prendergast, Ruth Nadler, Mary Miller, Esther Scott, Nettie Gurwitz, and Hazel Mara. In the opening match against South, Classical was defeated, 2-1. The scores were as follows: Ruth Nadler versus Mary Manifold, 2-6, 6-3, 6-4, Captain Budish versus Ethel Lavallee, 2-6, 4-6, Mary Miller versus Marjorie Iensen, 0-6, 3-6. On Iune 4th Classical was again defeated, 2-1, this time, by Commerce. The scores were as follows: Mary Miller versus Margaret O,Sullivan, 7-9, 2-6, Captain Budish versus Dorothy Walker, 6-1, 6-1, Ruth Nadler versus Dorothy Feighry, 7-9, 6-1, 4-6. As this volume goes to press, there is one more match to be played against North. lt is impossible, therefore to announce to which team will go the laurels of championship. 53 Girls' Basketball The Classical High lassies had a very successful and enjoyable season. To be sure, we did not end the season in first place, but we put up a game fight for it, and missed it by only a small margin. Howexer, next year is yet to come, so watch the Classicalites then! The result of the season was as follows: Classical versus South, Classical Z7-South ll, Classical versus North, Classical 24-North 39, Classical versus Commerce, Classical 16-Commerce 27, Classical versus South, Classical 40-South 18, Classical versus North, Classical 35-North 27, and last but not least, in the game which decided whether Com- merce, or Commerce, North, and Classical, should be Champs,', Classical finally went down to a 28-25 defeat, but only after a terriflic battle. 'KBetty McDermott was high scorer for Classical, with Phil,' Prendergast only one point behind. The final placing of the teams was as follows: Commerce, North, Classical, and South. The varsity captain was Betty,' McDermott and the manager, Al Lawton. The inter-class series, in the inter-high contests, was more of a success for Classical, for the freshman team, captained by Mary Brown, and the junior team, captained by Grace Taylor, won championships for their classes. Basketball is ever a source of unbounded pleasure because of the joy of working with Miss Whitin. The grin she urges us on with, is one of the reasons why girls like her. 54 Class Song FHM-3-J .t,qq,JdELJ,vJ J .Ie 'E . J 1 ' . ' -1. II- :ZZ :zz -.IZ I '-2 5' F-5555 5: A!

Burke, a forensic genius, endorses argument by analogy, so l trust the following comparisons will prove my point. The word panic was originated to describe Pan, notorious mischief-maker, but anyone will concede that the only reason why a more vivid noun to portray chaos has not been coined is because no mere human could devise a word from our twenty-six letter alpha- bet to depict a scene in any classroom directly following one of 4'SqueakH Shippee's reci- tations. Apollo was notoriously luckless in his heart affairs. Though he promised his loves anything and everything under the sun, they were never tempted, rather, they scorned his affections more. An investigation into the activities of our leading social lights might disclose a startling similarity. In accordance with the notes of Orpheus' lyre, the very stones in the fields moved. This sounds miraculous, but it does not equal the magic of Mary Harris' ,cello strings. Narcissus was a handsome young man, who was so vain he never tired of looking at his reflection in the clear waters of forest pools. ln fact, he seemed really in love with the image which he saw, often talking to it and trying to embrace it. This story makes one wonder how far back Sid Levine can trace his family tree. Mars, overthrown in battle, fell and covered two acres. Hodge, overthrown in battle, fell and covered one gridiron. Neptune, when wounded, roared so loudly that it sounded as though nine or ten thousand men were shouting. Possibly he would have qualified as a worthy contestant against Been Denny at a basketball game, yet l am inclined to think that the odds would be in favor of f'Bee.u Mercury is said to have been the first to suggest setting up sign-posts at the cross- roads as a convenience to travellers. 6'Red', Seagle would have disapproved of such folly, advising rather refreshment stands as a paying proposition. Venus, beautiful beyond words, was possessed of all the charms associated with wom- anhood. Fortunate for Venus she was not judged by the 1930 criterion, that set by Alu Pazeian. Pluto is termed Hthe stern god of the Underworldf, After having made the acquaint- ance of Linky,,' I am convinced the word Hsterni' is misused. 94 RAVINIGS OF A CLASSICAL SENIOR Dearest, Adorableu MollyH I Love You, Believe Me I Love Youi' Deep in My Heartf, 'LIf I Canit Have Youn Sitting Beside an Open Fireplacef, Should I say '4Goodbye Forever? 4'Sometimes I'm Happyi' Under a Texas Moonn Alone with My Dreamsf, Wishin, and Waitin, for Lovef, How Could I Help It Ulf You Were the Only Girl in the Worldn and I The Man from the Southf, Where the Moon Hangs Loww?

Being a senior doesn't make me feel much different. Time alone will tell. I got an awful schedule-oh well, I enjoyed watching the freshies dash around. Was I ever as small as they? Seplember II'-At last Ilm settled. It's great to see all the Hkidsn again. Guess what? George Stevens has the cutest little moustache. I-Ie looks exactly like Buddyw Rogers. We had our first assembly today,-just the usual school spirit lecture. October II-I think I,ll let my hair grow. 'lBee', Denny has the cutest little curls. I won- der how she keeps them in place? By the way, there's a new boy in Room 4. I won- der what his name is? BernieU Hebenstreit has the sweetest smile and from all ap- pearances I guess Alu Pazeian thinks so too. October 18-I've found -out today that I'm not the only girl who likes Ulimmyu Clifford. And she-oh, gee, diary, I've sworn not to sing, write or tell it-and they say a woman just can't keep a secret! iV0vember 7-The bleachers at the oval were packed. I've hardly regained my voice- and it was a tie. However, we get the cup. A'Red', Seagle was the chief water-boy and, confidentially speaking, Miss Henderson said that he was the best-natured boy in Classical. For once I can honestly say that I agree with her. November 30-I think I could write a poem on '4The Trials and Tribulations of Growing I-Iairf, Yet, when I look into the remote future and see myself with long, blonde IFCSSCS, I decide to be a martyr to the cause. I've found out the name of the new boy in Room 4-Webster! December II-HOIIOIS! Another assembly-and I didnit have time to read over my his- tory. Imagine my embarrassment when called upon to recite. I wonder how '6EddieH Zalinsky always manages to say something. Some people have all the luck! December 21-ThC day after the Christmas Capersl' and I'm not a bit tired. It certainly was a corker dance and, of course, everyone was there, including a crowd of last yearis graduates. I wonder what it will feel like to be one of the alumni? Icmurzry 29+AHOIl1CI assembly Qmy history was preparedj-the Green Room players pre- sented several acts from Macbeth.U Like the Ben Greet players, they used no scenery. Vinnie O,Neil was simply marvelous and, by the way, Iive just noticed that he has a profile like a Greek godis-Apollo fiinstance. February 8-The night of the operetta! It was a corker. 'lGiggerv Stevens looked per- fect in his uniform and Sydney Levine made a swell sailor. I've discovered his weak spot,-Cbercbez la femme. I can't understand why I..aRoche doesnit wear plus foursll' February 21-Got B-I-H in a history test-am going to have it framed. Classical played Commerce. Oh! thrills! we won. It was a fast game. I think Paul Shannon is the cutest thing-you ought to see him blush when a girl speaks to him. March 7-Assembly today-the annual declamation contest. I love to hear Iimmy', Kashman say '4Boots -he looks and sounds so dramatic. I'm being worked to death. I think I'l1 have to park on the library shelf all night hereafter. April 25-Your pages are fast disappearing, diary. You see itis like this-Iive been using some of your pages to write notes to that cute fellow in Room 5 and you know how long senior notes are? May 5-Your last page, dear diary. I-Iasn't it been a glorious year? That English class was a dear. And hels asking for a picture. 98 i r lsast Will and Testament of the Class of 1930 Be it remembered that we, the Class of 1930, of Classical High School of the City and County of Worcester, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, do hereby make this our last will and testament, revoking any and all wills at any time heretofore made by us:- To the Class of 1931 we solemnly bequeath the privilege of holding class meetings, provided that certain time-honored customs are observed. The first meeting of the current year must be conducted with a maximum amount of noise, the result being sumcient to warrant the ejection of a few members of the class. However, the presiding officer tif he can be foundj must be respected. lt will be found wise never to decide anything without too much discussion-a procedure which insures against anybodyls knowing what is going on. lf these directions be followed carefully, the Class of 1931 may be considered worthy of holding class meetings. To Miss Henderson and her future Latin proteges, we bequeath 6'Squeak', Shippeels Latin genius, that the glory Virgil has attained under her most skillful manipulation shall not perish, that her tears, her sympathy, her long hours of toil shall not have been in vain, that the Aeneid to which she has imparted a true atmosphere shall be enriched by the noble efforts of so talented, so classical a young lady. To 'lGin', Houghton, versatile athlete of the Class of '31, we leave '6l3etty Macs' famous gym bloomers. Since the fall of 729, the white-washed walls of lNlosth's gym have thrown back piercing echoes of the screeches of the masses of inter-high spectators, when '6Betty's', gym bloomers lost their hold and started floorwards, in the middle of a basketball game. 7Twould indeed be a shame to rob the school of a hearty laugh, so to you, Gin,,' we intrust that delicate masterpiece, a pair of gym bloomers, to be worn 'gas is,,' and without replacement of the too tired elastic in the left leg. To the UDummyv Room, we bequeath 'gl3ee', Denny's sparkling wit and wisdom, Mary Cummings' 'Astick-to-it-ivenessf' and 4'l3etty O,Toole's sportsmanship. lf the said HDummy Room uses these characteristics to its advantage, it is to become a sharer of Paul Shannon's athletic ability. To the track team, we leave our hope that the Class of '31 will be as great an inspira- tion to them as was the Class of '30, for surely we were the incentive which spurred them on to victory in the yearls Class Games. May George Brooks duplicate his feats of this year and '1Al'7 Farmer make a second sensational spurt like the one which proved to be a highlight in the contests. Whereas, during the past year we have spent considerable time and energy in sitting in Room 4, And whereas, this time and energy hitherto stated as expended, has shown its effects upon the condition of seats and desks in the aforesaid room, 99 ,Jig ,,W, Y,,,-xY,,,,, , ,Y,,, Y A QQOCLASSHCOQQ Q MYTHUSGQ We do hereby bequeath to the new attendants upon this fond abode the opportunity of placing said desks and chairs in a condition befitting the service to which they will be dedicated next year. Hail, freshmen! To you we bequeath the dignity and manners of the Class of ,30 in general. Each future resident of Room 37 will inherit his proportionate share of that indehnable something which made Iimmy Kashman's career in said room so illustrious. To some of your tiny members, we leave about nine of George Hodgkinson's seventy- hve inches. We hereby constitute and appoint our timekeeper, Daniel F. O'Regan, executor of the will. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hands and in the presence of three Witnesses declare this to be our last Will this twenty-seventh day of Iune, A.D., 1930. PGRTCHESTER, WHEEL-HER, PEASARMY, BERTSON, MILBY. On the 26th day of Iune, 1930, P. W. P. B. and M. of Classical High School, Worces- ter, Massachusetts, signed the foregoing instrument in our presence declaring it to be their last will and as Witnesses thereof we three do now, at their request, in their presence and in the presence of each other hereunto subscribe our names.
