Perhaps it is no exaggeration to say that it is one of the greatest events of my life, and I know that my classmates have the same feeling regarding themselves. It is the time when the thrill of receiving such recognition of advancement is combined with the sense of the responsi- bilities to which we must look. lt is the time when we realize that we have reached a certain stage, from which we must step onto another higher one, always striving for those things for which we are best fitted by nature and circumstances. lt is the last of four of the happiest ' ' years of our lives, and, in looking back, we are proud PRLSIDENT ALBERT FARMER of having accomplished the tasks they brought usg but We also feel that, in a sense, we should be happy in going through them again. This is the time when we should express our deepest thanks to both parents and teachers for all the sacrifices they have made and the encouragement they have given while guiding us toward our life-work. Although we shall soon leave Classical High School, this does not mean that we shall forget the pleasant hours spent here. lt is our earnest hope that the gratitude which we feel towards those who have assisted us, should be expressd not only in words, but by our acts in the future. As the representative of the Class of 1931, 1 again cordially welcome you to our exercises. Fourleen Class History GUl.l.1VER,S TRAVELS FROM 1927-1931 HE swirling waves pounding dully in Gulliveris temples had subsided into soft, silvery ripples, cool and refreshing as the lacy fern. The sun was streaming in warm, kindly beams, calming the exhausted man. All seemed utterly peaceful. A strange piping, as of a chorus of musical crickets, was the only sound. Gradually this insistent shrilling began to register on Gulliveris numbed brain and was broken up into infinite noises, each a wee, glorified squeak. Queer pulses throbbed faintly from his head to his feet. Minute prickings irritated his bruised skin. Suddenly alert, Gulliver opened his eyes. A startling sight appeared. Swarms of tiny, crawling creatures dotted the entire length of his prone frame- tiny things that scuttled eagerly to and fro like a bold band of marauding ants about a jar of honey. lntending to brush off the supposed pestilence, Gulliver found, to his amazement, his hands firmly held by some invisible force in the meadow grass. Strange, indeed, this! As his eyes grew more accustomed to the blinding sun-light, Gulliver, aghast, perceived the black things developing wee arms and legs. Verily, only fancies of my brainlv thought the stupefied Gulliver. But no, they were indeed humans, if such tiny specks of Hesh and bone merited the title. ln fact, one fearless Pygmy was causing much annoyance by perching precariously on the tip of his nose, as he swung ferociously at a tiny pebble placed on its utmost extremity. A ring of admiring spectators surrounded the bold golfer and shrieked lustily what seemed to be, Bucky, Buckylw each time he missed. For long hours, Gulliver lay there bound hand, foot and hair by slender but strong strings, and poked and punched by inquisitive scraps of humanity. After their fears that this creature had come for their destruction had been dispelled, they erected a rude plat- form. Upon this was hoisted a chubby, brown-eyed Pygmy, who was concealing his terror beneath a broad but somewhat trembling smile. In quavering falsetto, he piped, Welcome to the Land of the Pygmies, Man-Mountain. 1, Bobby Grant, have been selected as official speaker. ln this capacity 1 wish to extend to you a cordial invitation to visit us and our homes. Sincere . . . H GRACE TAYLOR, I-Iiszarizm But more fluent tongues have lost the thread of more elegant speeches. Apparently overcome with the tax placed on his nervous system, Bobby lloundered wildly, uttered an embarrassed squeal, and disappeared headlong from the unstable platform. His sympa- thetic fellow-citizens caught him in his plunge and did their utmost to assuage the frenzied shame of the frustrated speaker. After another considerable delay, a huge vehicle hove in sight. Evidently all the car- penters of Pygmydom had been furiously plying their trade since Gulliver,s arrival. A vast plateau of planks rolling cumbrously on wheels -of different sizes rumbled unsteadily across the plain. As it approached, practically the entire gathering whistled shrilly, scrambled wildly in the direction of the rear of the vehicle and clambered frantically Fi ftecn QUOCLAS Serco O ggi-Msffri-1-igfes-B G, ' J aboard. The driver bellowed as ferociously as any Pygmy perhaps ever bellowed, but to no avail. Pygmies would be Pygmies! Closer scrutiny revealed a sign reading, Tatnuck Extra. Unwieldy and misshapen as it was, the trolley served as an excellent sight-seeing bus for the wearied Gulliver. Strangely, however, there were only several buildings visible with no signs of the homes of the Pygmies, whatsoever. An odd stick with a Huttering pennant on which was printed Room and Board 43 protruded from the ground. Farther on, he perceived, among the branches of a lofty tree, a similar sign with Lodgings 37 in bold, black print. An observing Pygmy, eager to please this Man-Mountain, climbed nimbly to his shoulder and whispered confidentially into the mighty cavern of his ear. For many years, neighboring tribes, for some unknown reason, have invaded our land daily. So finally we decided to move and now enjoy comparative safety in our leafy shelter among the clouds or in dark grottoes in Mother Earth. One of the several edifices heralded in bold letters, Pygmy Munition Companyf' The same helpful mite confided that here were manufacturd the widely renowned and highly dangerous Pygmy spit-balls, and also that without these weapons, most deadly in the hands of the well-trained militia, the Pygmy race might have suffered complete extermi- nation. The banquet attended that evening was rich in surprises for Gulliver. To begin with, no bounteous repast gladdened his famished eyes. Indeed, not a sign of food appeared. As the Pygmies strolled in, Gulliver perceived that each swung carelessly a large black Boston bag. Strange, indeed,H thought Gulliver, Perchance I am in the railroad terminal by mistake. But nol A whistle shrilled-a scamper of tiny feet-and all were swarming about a long table. From the depths of the bag, there emerged a wee bottle of milk and a peanut- butter sandwich, eyed with moist, rapt eyes by each Pygmy. After fifty wee bottles with fifty wee straws and countless barrels of miniature sandwiches were thrust at Gulliver, he was completely ignored. The entire company seemed to revel in their lunches. In fact, when they had finished, they sank back heavily in their chairs, seemingly completely satisfied, and dangled their pudgy legs rhythmically. A door slammed. Into the room burst a belated guest, apologizing profusely. Conver- sation revealed him to be the ever late toastmaster, Pastey,' Riversman, whose tardiness, strange to say, was never noticed. Riversman cast joke after joke at the unattentive ears of the Pygmies but they bounded immediately back. No riotous gales of merriment ensued. Neighbors chatted alfably with one another, heeding him not in the least. At one partic- ularly sicle-splitting story, a Pygmy was heard to remark to his neighbor, Necessary evils do sometimes become infernal nuisances as well. Let's away with him. And several brawny Pygmies bore the squeaking Riversman into exile in the kitchen. As if suddenly realizing their guest was not being entertained properly, they lifted upon the table a protesting mite, clutching a flute. Calls of, Come on, Baby Beeber, a sololv resounded. But the terrified tot, with quivering chin and gulping sob, fled under the table, where he cowered in the darkest corner. Sixfccn GD , Geeks sore it Qi QMYTMS. G xx Iangling, barbaric strains, as of some primitive chant from the Dark Ages, broke out wildly, fairly chilling Gulliver's blood. Shrieking crescendos vied with booming basses in fierce, soul-stirring harmony. Each Pygmy fairly shuddered with the intensity of his feeling, as he raised his reed of a voice in a skillfully disguised rendition of Love,s Old Sweet Song. Thus ended the fantastic banquet of the Pygmies. A wish expressed by Gulliver to visit the three widely celebrated tribes, first met with blank horror but as they perceived his firmness of purpose, the ever-obliging Pygmies supplied him with a capable guide in the person of Bob Grant, eager to redeem himself for his ignominious introduction. Outside the city, a feeble twitching in the region of Gulliver's left ankle revealed a cowering stowaway, the same Baby Beeber, smuggling timidly in the sheltering hem of his trouser-leg. Gradual questioning developed that Beeber had long suffered a secret urge to expand, to leave his native land, to see the world. Gulliver magnanimously suffered him to remain, chuckling inwardly. The Land of the Wise Foolsf' Grant confided, is inhabited by a strange folk-cold, superior, and distant. They ignore us entirely, regarding us as just so much vermin. But, O, Gulliver, they are so wisef' Bobby sighed deeply, as if realizing the insurmount- able barrier between them. Strange, indeed was the appearance of the broad plains of the Land of the Wise Fools! Snowy phantoms, like Hoating webs of white mist, wafted from one small, thimble-like mass to another. As Gulliver approached, these odd spectres were revealed to be unusual individuals, enveloped in flowing mantles of snowy white. Above these robes protruded tiny heads, startling for their likeness to round apples. Long braids swung heavily to and fro, while huge spectacles imparted a solemn owlishness to their c-ountenances. Long noses cleft the ether, and mammoth feet curled coquettishly upward. Perhaps the weird- est monstrosity of all was the huge pair of fan-like ears, loosely attached, which flapped softly about as the wind swished through them. One of the busy oddities separated himself from his fellow-toilers and approached the newcomers with a cool, disinterested expression. Your mission, wayfarersP We must not be interrupted in our vital labors. Be brief, to the point! Mayor Furie tarries not with idle vagabondsf, Inst this, what are you doingPU queried Gulliver, who was completely baffled by the little piles of leaves springing up like sand hills. 'KTO be sure, snapped Furie, we are collecting dead leaves, counting them and multi- plying the answer by the number of trees to obtain the annual fall of leaves. We credit ourselves that this ponderous undertaking has never before been attempted by any tribe at any timef' And Furie snapped his braids briskly in Gulliverls surprised face and strolled off. But Gulliver called after him: 'flust what does that prove, O SageP,' A queer expression of mingled incredulity and chagrin which was gone in a Hash rippled across Furie's face. A stoic mask of solemn sagacity poured over his countenance and settled into deep pools of scorn and cynicism. Hmm, hmmf' philos-ophised the seer, walking slowly away, lost in brooding reverie.

W ,, ,, 64 CQKQD si His majestic departure was somewhat marred, however, as he tripped over his mammoth, upturned fo-ot and sprawled in a most undignified manner. Beeber beckoned to Gulliver to lift him to his shoulder. A'Wise Fools explain their queer appearance by strange tales. Those windmill ears, according to them, developed into their present size through straining to catch the faint voices of their patron sages, whispering to them in every breeze. Those long braids, woven of three strands, symbolize the supremacy of the Wise Fools over the three neigh- boring tribes, embodying, as they do, a three-fold wisdom. Those long, pointed noses, they say, are little sign-posts directing their course through life in a definite, dependable way. Early in life they whittle them into their present sharpness, adopting as their motto, 'Follow your nose, itis your closest friend., H The visitors made their way to an egg-shaped building with the sign, Who'd a Thunk It in fiery red paint, flaming across the entrance. Within, two figures in white uniforms were seated in a glass cage, bent over like two inverted letter U's. A guard, clanging with weapons, drew near, finger on lip. Shi S. Cohen and Iaffee are deep in research work. They are about to announce to the operatic world just why it was deprived of Mr. Howe's ringing baritonefa Gulliver and the Pygmies backed out, leaving the scientists engrossed in their problem. A dull series of thuds shook the ground, just as when HRed Battle stamped his foot and nations felt the shock. From afar, Gulliver perceived a motley crowd of fierce, seeth- ing Wise Fools bearing down upon them, vengeance glittering in their eyes. They had heard of the arrival of the two helpless Pygmies and were planning to step on them. Gulliver seized Beeber and Grant and stuffed them into his vest-pocket. Soon the fist- shaking mob was left behind them. The surrounding countryside was undergoing a change. Each thicket was becoming an ensnaring forest of fierce warriors, the path a vast desert of sand and boulders, the trees, endless poles vanishing in soft clouds. ln the distance a shining vale rolled in smooth billows like slumbering mountains of the ocean. Beeber, who had gradually acquired a tourist's boldness, was perched on the brim of Gulliverys hat. Land ahoyl Egodom ahead! he squeaked in his best train conductor style, and then, as if startled at his own temerity, slithered down Gulliver's neck and crouched beneath his lapel peeping out now and then through the button-hole with round, bright eyes. Without warning, a gigantic mountain of flesh loomed up, towering menacingly above the dwarfed visitors. At the summit of the massive column, Gulliver perceived a huge planet-like head supported on a frail straw of a neck. Many other creatures were strolling about languidly with world-weary expressions. Engulfing yawns, like dark caves swept by long, steady gusts of wind, often overcame them completely and limply they wilted into drooping, shapeless blotches. The turf had become spongy with the frequent pressure of their heads and softly sank into green caverns. Suddenly they per- ceived Gulliver. Blank astonishment swiftly changed to bellowing laughter, and the Giants once more sank to the ground in dissolving mirth. Over and over they rolled in helpless glee, always careful to keep their heads erect.

He floundered about in deep water, gurgling and striking desperately for the shore. A Giant finally recovered himself sufli- ciently to fish Gulliver from his well of humiliation with a blade of grass. He then pro- ceeded to hang him to dry on a nearby bush. As the excitement subsided, attention centered about two particularly elongated indi- viduals who were playing a cool, expert game of hand-ball, tossing it dexterously to and fro. Giants Pizan and Crockett were indeed experts in the art of ball-tossing. The admir- ing throng registered their approval by applause, feeble in itself, but evidently their most hearty sign of enthusiasm. A particularly difficult catch by Pizan aroused their zeal to such an extent that, at a given signal, they burst into song, All hail to us marvelous peers of creation, To such an indomitable race, We thrill at our own superior wisdom, Our strength, our valor, our gracef, At length Gulliver was approached by a Giant, who knelt down to his level, and with fiery tone and flashing eye proceeded: O Gulliver and lnconsequentials, know ye the honor granted in being allowed to gaze upon this wondrous Hower of the earth, us Glorious Giants and humble yourselves accord- ingly. Ever speak in awful tone of this tribe of super-mortals. Appreciate -But bored Bobby, with slow, stealthy movement, had drawn out his little sling-shot and taken delib- erate aim at the Giant's monstrous head. Pnftl The head cracked like an egg-shell and vanished in a punf of hot air! In the turmoil that followed, Gulliver wriggled down from the bush and escaped through the long grasses. The landscape was sinking by degrees into its customary proportions, when a vivid flock of purple-tinted birds swooped into sight, caroling throaty melodies. They shim- mered and glittered against the deep blue sky, burning with richness and intensity. Foliage gleamed in warm, smooth verdure, flowers soared in glorious poems of color, trees were veritable fairy havens. In fact, the whole scene was a glimpse of a glowing paradise. By the side of a smooth, cool expanse of water, there was a shady grove, glinting with sparks of sunlight. In this were strolling fair maids and youths, showering bubbles of joyous laughter and honeyed drops of smiles and graciousness. Beautiful indeed, were the maidens, bewitching and effervescent Eves, and superb were the youths, radiating stalwart manliness. All were occupied in plucking gay flowers and weaving them into colorful garlands. Now and then they gazed at one another and gasped in awe, as if realizing anew their ethereal charm. Gentle Zephyrs breathed upon them, and all pre- sented a ne'er-to-be-forgotten scene of complete serenity and harmony. From the branches above trilled a rippling splash of song, clear as a rivulet rrickling over smooth stones. Gulliver beheld, perched on the extremity of a branch, not two purple birds, but a blonde maid and a dark youth, vvarbling ecstatically. 'KGert', and Carl,,' as they were hailed, graciously responded with a charming encore. A blare of trumpets, a Hurry of feet, and all drew up in lines on either side of a clear- ing. A faint apricot glow began to pervade the grove, as a cortege of gorgeous beings N ineleen , ,T ,, ,,, , -J ,, . f W . f ,va , , V lcfvoenraatessilto Q 1 Bfiljiffilfll-31S gg approached. A young man clad in royal purple trunks and jersey trimmed with snowy ermine, led the troupe. A sceptre studded with gems proclaimed him king. His locks radiated flaming beams of apricot. His majesty seemed none too pleased, not only with the weighty garland draped about his neck, but also with the perky nosegay nestling coyly behind his ear. A sweet damsel tripped blithely by his side, bowing graciously to the many cordial greet- ings extended to their charming Anna-Marie. She, too, clasped a sceptre, somewhat smaller, but equally precious. A jocund knight, hailed as Micky,', who was grinning broadly and winking boldly at his fervent, feminine followers seemed entirely at his ease in the grand procession. In spite of his interesting Hirtations along the way, he never lost sight of his trusty moneybag, clutched in his sturdy hand. A dusky maiden with smooth coils of shining, dark hair walked sedately by his side, and demurely acknowledgedlthe tributes accorded their Princess Agnes. A wee page followed her, partially concealed by the snowy scrolls and plumed pens he was bearing. A shower of fragrant blossoms tossed by the throng submerged the idolized king, who finally reappeared, striving valiantly to appear unperturbed. But the Howers fell in withered clusters, scorched into charred bits by his flaming cheeks. Hilarious was the social gathering following the parade of celebrities in the Shining Grove of Fair Maids and Youthsf, Gulliver and the Pygmies were welcomed into their midst and marvelled at the carefree festivity prevailing. Not a worry in the world had they, for were they not the fairest, the wisest, and the richest in human experience? A long, plaintive call of sad sweetness wailed over the waters. For a moment all were breathless, motionless, eager eyes gazing into the dim, blue mists of the Future. Then, followed by Grant and Beeber, swiftly and silently they sped to the side of the sea. Fever- ishly they climbed into small boats which had been waiting patiently for their cargo for four long years, and sailed away into the deep, unknown waters. Twenty Class Oratlon THEODORE ROOSEVELT WISE custom existed among the Greeks and ' ' Romans to erect statues of heroes in public places that their youth regarding them might be inspired to emulate their deeds. Our own country follows this example by placing images of our heroes, Washington, Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt, in places of honor. What lover of liberty does not feel his pulses quicken as he gazes on the figures of these great men, who offered life and fortune to make the world a better place for us to live in? But no piece of cold clay is sufficient to satisfy my mind as a representation of one of these heroes. Theodore Roosevelt lives for me a great moving picture, as my ' ' mind dwells on the courage, the perseverance, the vitality HENRY 5M1THf Ch'-ff OWU of a man who can never die. I see him always, a figure of romance. Born a sickly boy with a brilliant mind, he set out to overcome the handicap of Weakness and conquered it. A year on a ranch, after his college course at Harvard, strengthened him so that one sees him in mature life, only as a vigorous man. The life of the ranchman was a hard one, especially for a boy reared in a wealthy home. Roosevelt lived with rough men and beat them at their own games. Here he formed friendships that lasted through his life. After his stay at the ranch, Roosevelt went to New York. There he entered politics. No necessity required his entering the corrupt politics of his day, but his high ideals would not allow him to stand by and see his fellow-citizens suffer. In political life his rise was meteoric. He joined the Republican Club and, at the age of twenty-five was a recognized leader in the anti-machine reform movement. Due to his brilliance, he went to the national convention. His opponents saw that here was a man to be feared. When Roosevelt was chosen Civil Service Commissioner for the State of New York, they were delighted. The salary was small, the duties monotonous, and the work not in the public eye. There they thought he would be forgotten. Many men who had been potential governors and senators had been forgotten by the people while they held this office. But Roosevelt was not! A little later, as President of the Police Board of the City of New York, he took active measures against the corrupt forces of the city and worked valiantly to improve tenement housing conditions. Then President McKinley called him to national duties by appointing him Assistant Secretary of the Navy, which office he left for active service in the Spanish War. Twenty-one 1-7 -,YNY ,Z W . W, L. ,,... W Y: . Y. 11- Y. .,,,:.., , , ,, ,Mg X ,. , If OCLASQSHCO QD O Mwttaisiteilssaeicg xx After the war he was elected Governor of the State of New York. His chance had come! His term of office was one of long battle against fraud, but his determination and his courage were equally great. He was set on a reform of the corporate interests. So again the political leade1's strove to hide his light under a bushel. He was nominated and elected Vice-President of the United States, an office in which many great men before him had found political obscurity. But Fate willed otherwise. The assassinis bullet that took the life of President McKinley brought Roosevelt to the office of the Presidency at the age of forty-three, to be the youngest President ever to serve his country. All Ro-osevelt,s qualities, as soldier and leader of men, were needed in the Presidency. ln that office he taught the nations of the world to respect us. The Emperor of Germany had planned to secure China for his own uses. Roosevelt stopped him. It was Roosevelt who arranged a treaty between Russia and Iapan at the close 'of the Russo-Iapanese War and who thereby, won for himself the Nobel Peace Award. To Roosevelt, the Hebrews of America appealed to stop the slaughter of their people in Russia and his sharp note to the Czar proved effective. He gave a working government to the Philippines and made possible an American-built Panama Canal. He was the friend of the poor, the oppressed, the immigrant. He brought the diiiiculties in the coal fields to an arbitration and fought the great combinations which were restraining trade. After his term as President, Roosevelt did not retire to the peaceful life of the civilian. A new life of activity called him. As hunter, explorer, scientist, he spent many months in the 'obscure and difficult places of Africa and South America. At home his wisdom and experience were at his country's command. To the day of his death, national questions absorbed his interest and always his infiuence was to be reckoned with. i'The evil that men do live after them, the good is oft interred with their bones,', wrote Shakespeare. It is not so with Roosevelt. Time makes him a greater figure. His mag- nificent talents, his tireless energy, and his brilliant mind, placed him among other great presidents, and the memory of his humor and his humanity keeps him mortal. All of us cannot be Roosevelts. Perhaps none of us is to attain world honors. But we can live that it may be said of each of us, as it can always be said of Roosevelt, that his life was at his c'ountry's service. Twenty-two Prophecy---Class of 1931 6 4 EAR Ye! Hear Ye! This honorable court is 7 - called to orderf, and with a bang of the gavel, court is in session. It is a balmy afternoon in Iune, in the year of Our Lord 1951. The scene, as I before mentioned, is in the Court Room. Iudge 'AFather Timei' has ascended to his dais. The Iury is in readiness in its box. There is a stir, a certain note of uneasiness in the air. What is to be done with the criminal, the Class of 1931? The charge reads as follows: Has the Class of 1931 amounted to anything in the elapsed twenty years from the time of its graduation? If so, what are the accomplishments of its individual members? The case is fully discussed, reports are read, evidence is presented, and the prosecuting attorney is summing his CARL FISHER, PVOPWI case. Your Honor, Gentlemen of the Iury, in concluding my case against this said class, of the said school, on the whole has done fairly well. There have been rough spots, but they have. been smoothed out, and although the raw material was poor, they did their best. I suggest to this court clemency for the accused. 1 thank youf' lf the prosecution has nothing further to say, we will turn to the defense. With these words the Iudge turned to me and asked whether I had any evidence to offer in behalf of my client to show its innocence. Yes, your Honor, 1 am here for just that purpose. With the help of Snoop and Peep, those demon detectives, 1 offer for the Courtis decision, certain facts, pertaining to the his- tory of individual members of the said class of 131 to show their worthiness from the time of their graduationf, Here is Report No. 1: Dear Carl: In our travels far and wide, having been snooping and peeping in all corners of the earth, trying to get some gleam of light to throw upon this famous case of State vs. Class of ,31, we offer these facts: 'lStan', Chamberlain and George Burgoyne are running a String Bean Pole Factory. Their motto is Longer and Skinnier Polesf? Raymond Beeber tried to get work in the factory, but he did not quite measure up. In a Mid-Western state, far from the commanding crowd, yes, back on the good old farm, we found lack Collins, as proprietor of a muskrat plantation. For his chief skin- ners he had Louis Rosenberg and Sidney Stein. ln Los Angeles, Dolly Lerner, in partnership with Ruth Reidy and Esther Novogrod, has set up a beauty parlor, based upon a wonderful new powder which they have discov- ered called Keep-Your-Youth powder. They carry a guarantee that age has no terror to this cosmetic and they offer 155,000 to any who use this famous powder and find it unsuc- cessful in renewing their youth. ln fact, at Peepis questioning it was learned that while Twenty-three ,J Y , ?,gXXY , f Qereassseerebf 565 Q nfmrkiitrt-as as c.: e eeee e A A a all the boys were becoming old, white and wrinkled, the girls of this class who had used the powder were retaining youthfulness and beauty that they had while students at Classical. Iust before leaving for Asia, by way of the Grant Trans-Pacific Airways, Incorporated, Peep and I went to visit the Chief of Seattle in order to pick up any clues. He informed us that he had just arrested Raymond Granger for speeding in his air flivver. Granger said that he got the habit of speeding while traveling to Classical in his never-to-be-forgot- ten Ford. Other famous prisoners that the City of Seattle had handled were Frank Dom- blatt for stealing forty winks and William Reardon for catching flies without a license. This ends our first report, but in the letter you will find some newspaper clippings that have special bearing on the case. Youfll hear from us next from Asia. :'Gumbye,', SNOOP AND PEEP.

With Snoop and Peep in Africa and Asia. Dear Carl:- While putting into Calcutta, we came across several former Classical students in the personages of deep sea divers. The leader of the diving squad was Edward Buyniski and he had for some of his helpers, Iohn Kamandulis, Bronislaw Gruzdzis and Robert Fletcher. Their usual occupation is diving for pennies, but on the day that we arrived in port, the divers were undertaking a special mission of diving for Fred Knott's teeth. Freddy,,' while leaning over the steamer's rail, had laughed so heartily at a joke told him by Iohn English, that he lost his teeth. Mr. Knott was quite anxious to have those teeth because he was going to propose that night to his best girl, Dorothy Murch. Freddy felt that he would be quite handicapped without the use of his molars so he offered a good sized reward for their recovery. Arthur Comtois, a passenger on the ship and a bystander and Twenty-four 63 Y . ,-X .

Freddy got his teeth, but we could not stay long enough to find whether he got his girl. Far in the mountain fastness of Tibet, a small colony of Classical grads are carrying on a quite profitable business. It seems that there was a certain Dr. Edward Cove to assist in all medical cases. Ella Iosti and Mary Quint train the children, Lewis Shipman and Benjamin Silver are spiritual advisors, and to take care of the aged, Edward Zalinsky has established a Sanatorium. Classicalites so controlled the town that they called it 'AClassicae,' and have elected Bob Rochette mayor and Stanislaus Chasse chief of the fire department. Classica2,' is run on a fine civic basis, based on lectures given in that course by Mr. Rice back at old Classical. After much wandering and searching, Snoop and I landed in the heart of Africa where we stumbled across Tony,' Ignatovich selling Sunshine Biscuits to pygmies of that dark land, in order to bring some light into the interior of the continent. But the most inter- esting fact we have to offer in this report is that we discovered Earl Crockett, deep in the Iungles of Nigeria, shooting cocoanuts into birds, nests, thinks that he was scoring baskets against Commerce. Around Earl was a circle of dusky shadows and upon our first glance we mistook them for members of the Aborigine Tribe, but upon closer exam- ination we found that they were humans and that some of them had graduated from Classical High. They were Dan Butler, Gerard Briggs, Mary Rafferty, Norbert Lusczyn- ski, Albert McIntyre, Helen Tracy and Michael Wilson. Wilson, who was the head of the troop, stated that he and his followers had become tired of the affairs of this world and had decided to go native. While crossing the equator, we were stopped by Anthony Chenis who informed us that he is Chief of Police on the equator, patrolling that imaginary line, keeping off hitch- hikers who try to circumnavigate the world. He said that he had had particular trouble in keeping Robert Daw and Vitold Sukaskas from straddling the equator. We informed the Chief that we had no intentions of walking around the world so after having searched us for contraband, he allowed us to go on. This ends our report from Asia and Africa. Expect to hear from us again from Alaska and Siberia. Yours for Snooping and Peeping, SNOOP AND PEEP. Your Honor, my next bit -of evidence I offer to show the industry with which Classical students have carried on their work, are some notes taken from signs while passing through our fair city. The Court may verify these signs if it sees fitf, You may proceed with your defense, Mr. Fisherf' Here are the signs as I found them: UIEVVY IITZE IN THREE LESSONSU C.

It read as follows: THE MISSES KAUFMAN AND COHEN MATRIMONIAL BUREAU', As I puzzled over this sign, I noticed several girls or, I should say women, enter the office. Those that I remember seeing go in were Constance Low, Ann Leslie and Mary McSheehy. You musnft get the wrong impression from the number of unmarried people in the Class of 1931. Many of the graduates, luckily or unluckily, are nicely settled in married life. For instance take the case of lean Hunter, who for years had been in the search of a coat, but finally found her Coates. But back to our signs here is one that is very appetizing: HPASTY PASTIES by 'PASTY, RIVERSMAN, BAKER', LEARN CLASSICAL DANCING THE NEW WAYH THE EMILIE SHUR AND IOSEPH MENDYS STUDIO For my next bit of evidence, I offer a telegram received from George Balcanoff, chief radio and television operator, Terra Del Fuego: Iune 15, 1951.

And is it cold! If it wasn't for our pat- ented overcoats Cinvented by Iohn Alexandrovichj I don't know what we would do. Well, anyway, we have some reports to make: Anna-Marie O,Connor is teaching kindergarten here in town. And at the Alfred Gold- enberg Mine several miners introduced themselves as Classical High grads. They were Iames Durning, Charles Baronsky, Francis Pruszynski and Louis Simmons. Alfred said that ubizznessv was goof, considering whom he had for hired help. From Point Barrow we went to Eskeemoaland,,, the home of Eskimo pies. There George Ovanes has established a profitable business manufacturing the frozen tasties and is shipping them direct to Worcester where they are Hgobbledw up in a hurry. Sam Sigel, the foreman of the main plant, who showed us around, said that the Eskimo pies were much better made in their own surroundings and that is the reason for their great popu- larity. Iust as we were leaving the factory we ran across Nazir Salih. Nazir had put on a great deal of flesh, weighing between 250 and 300 pounds. Of course, this added weight was due to the job he was holding down, which was chief sampler of the Eskimo Pie Factory. Nazir stated that he believed in doing his work thoroughly.

This concludes our third report. Gumbye, SNOOP AND PEEP. Your honor, being a graduate of Classical High, I have tried to keep track of the mem- bers of my class who have settled down in this vicinity so I present for your consideration these facts: that the editor-in-chief of the Vlforcester Post-Tell is Nathan Bickofl and his star reporter is Edward Ialle. They gave me a copy of the paper the other day. From it I learned that Iohn O,Reilly was in Mars. The whole affair was an accident. This is how it happened. Iohn saw a Hash through the air and, thinking it a stray football, made a grab for it, but to his horror he found that it was a rocket shot by Ioe Dworman to Mars, for scientific exploration. Imagine poor Mickey's embarrassment! But did he become down- hearted? No. He took out a Howell brand of cigarette, lit it, and was, therefore, nonchalant. In the advertising section of the paper were these ads: BUY DAVID GOULD LOLLYPOPS. THEY ARE KIND TO YOUR TONGUEN GOOD PRINTING DONE WHILE YOU WAIT. NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR GRAMMAR AND SPELLING. MILTON EVANSTEIN PRINTERYI' In the editorial section I read a very interesting article, written by Virginia Houghton, asking people to support the coming tag day which was to be held in order to raise money to build a grandstand for the Athletic Field. Members of the sales committtee included Ruth Friedman, Stella Recko, Edith Beaumont, Samuel Cohen, Francis Hayes and Nathan Levine. My last report from Snoop and Peep is from Boston. WITH SNOOP AND PREP IN MASSACHUSETTS! Boston, Mass. Dear Carl: Snoop and I are reporting from your home State. Of course, we found a great number of Classicalites right within the bounds of your fair Commonwealth. The first place we visited up-on our arrival in Boston was a restaurant. To our surprise and delight, we found in the Mooradian Chow Garden' Qthe place where we atej a charming waitress by the name of Rachel Bell and she, being in a rather talkative frame of mind, gave us some dope on various members of the class. Here is some of it:-Kath- leen Horgan and Frank Calcagni are safely married. Alice Cole has gone into politics, establishing a new party called the Women's Change Your Mind Partyf, Lillian Marl- borough and Lucille Roy have given their lives as missionaries to the Ethiopian heathen, trying to convince them that one husband is better than two and no husband at all is paradise itself. Rachel nearly spoiled our dessert by telling us of a tragedy that happened the previous week. VVhile Ramsay Cotton and Iohn Robertson were down at Revere Beach enjoying an outing together, they entered into a contest, the winner of which was to get five cents. The feat was to find out who could hold his breath the longer while under water. They stayed down five minutes, ten, an hour and the sad part of it is that neither of them came up. I Twcmy-seven , ,S W ,, ,, , , 'firm ,, ! xr ,,'YY Y Y' V lfiCMiES QED 4, After that story we hastened away from the restaurant and went to the State House in order to attend a meeting of the Legislature before which assemblage a group of Classical Alumnae were appearing in order to ask for a loan to build a new gymnasium for their Alma Mater. The sum asked was only 151001300 and after due consideration it was granted. Classical, some day, will pay tribute to the members of that committee, Esther Damerell, Betty Foley, Gordon Hackett and Manuel Rogina, who were patient, long-suffering and persuasive in their methods of accomplishing this great feat, after twenty years of effort. Irving Skeist is the head of the New England Conservatory of Music where he is train- ing his pupils to run radios properly and crank victrolas. While crossing the Boston Common, we overheard an interesting argument taking place between Sam Shaer and Abe Beleson. Here is a quotation: A. B. C. D. goldfish 0. L. M. N. O goldfish O. S. A. R A.

W-ell, we arrived in your fair city, but we did not have time to see you, so we are writing what we discovered. Gertrude Wirths and Edith Warden are school teachers back at their former high school. Upon being interviewed they said that they got quite a 'fkickn out of giving DH warnings and afternoon sessions to the poor, innocent students. The most interesting evening we spent in the vicinity of Worcester was at a performance of a play called Mrs, Bumpstead-Iieighf given by the Dorothea Pollinger actors on the Showboat Marybelle, anchored in that mighty river, the Blackstone. The cast included such stellar actors and actresses as Nona Durkin, Gertrude Kaufman, Thomas Haran, Edna Granger, Hymen Cohen, and Viola Crouch. The part of the villain was portrayed by Iohn Kalinowski, who did the role very professionally. Harvey White led the brass band which played during the intermission. Snoop enjoyed the play so much that he went to the Horist shop and ordered from Dorothy Strogoff a bunch of forget-me-nots to send to the leading lady. But to Snoopis misfortune the flowers were taken to the wrong address and they were delivered to a certain Doris Tucker who accepted the Bowers as a proposal of marriage, but when Snoop tried to explain she became violently angry and hit him over the head. Poor Snoop is slowly recuperating at the hospital, where he is under the constant care of his nurse, Agnes Steinhilber and his doctor, Dr. Arvey Niman. The last report stated Fair and Warmer. Not much change in temperature. For Wednesday southeast galesf' As it will be impossible to continue our search while Snoop is laid up, this will be our last report. Yours for fair weather, PEEP. Your Honor, that is where Snoop and Peep left me, and with still thirty-eight people to be heard from. But hunt and search as hard as I could, I was only able to locate twenty- Tweniy-sigh! Qu cf. H so e e H e A eight of those people, or in other words, nine girls and one boy were missing. Finally on one bright, sunny day, while reading the inter-planetary news, I discovered the missing people had left on the previous week for a trip to Venus to discover why that planet was so beautiful. The expedition was composed of the following: Pauline Arkus, Chief, Ethel Chafetz and Gladys Alsten, Lieutenantsg Francis Magee, Navigator, Maizie Bernfield, Ruth Damerell, Susan Marsello and Odette Neven were Hsailoressesf, Edmund Breen, the only male member of the crew, served in the capacity of chief cook and bottle washer. UI am glad to report to the court that 'Al' Farmer, our former president, is running the race of life with the same victorious persistency as he ran the '44O, for Classical twenty years ago. On a farrn in Sterling lives a former Classical student, Miss Derry by name, and by occupation. No doubt the court has heard that famous quartette composed of Margaret Breen, Sylvia Browning, Lawrence Franks and Raymond Gorsuch whose delightful song, I've Nothing in My Pockets but Hands and Nothing to Spend but the Timef' has thrilled countless audiences. Grace Taylor recommends for all would-be lovers that well-known remedy, Two-Lip Salve. Nor must I forget to mention the members of that whaling crew that left Boston last week in order to find their Ionah. Conspicuous members of the crew are Anne Chandley, Dorothy Corbin, Antoinette Grigas, Claire McCarthy, Sophie Tanona, Dorothy Carey, Mildred Epstein and lean Gifford. Edward Gicewicz was at the dock to bid them bon voyage and good luck in their undertaking. One of the most delightful experiences I had in drawing up this report to offer as evidence in the trial, was when I visited the ice cream factory of Arthur Graham. Clara Freeman has charge of the ice while Elizabeth Haskins ofliciates over the cream and Katherine McCarthy mixes the ice and cream together. Way back in l93l, ice cream was not made that way, but nevertheless that is h-ow it is done now. The only evidence I could find in reference to Harriet Oswell was a Zeppelin ticket to Alaska, so I conclude from that, that there is where she is residing. lane Sroczynska and Hazel Merit are the heads of a soft soap industry and are ably assisted by Helen McManus. They have just brought out a new kind of combination light lunch and quick wash soap, the idea being when hungry, eat and when desiring the immaculate state, wash. My last report and bit of evidence concerns a certain Four Leaf Clover Club, formed by four Classical High School girls, by the names of Phyllis Prendergast, president, and Barbara Prior, Helen Pantos and Natalie Nathan, charter members. The object of the club is to wish for the Class of 1931 the best luck and success to each member in his particular field of endeavor. Your Honor, with these facts before you, I conclude my case for the defense of the Class of 193l. Twenty-nine W, 7 a Famous Men and Women of Worcester County WO hundred years ago, Worcester was far from her present position as second largest city in Massa- chusetts and third in New England. Up to the time of the Revolution, VVorcester was considered only fifth among the towns that now make up Worcester County. But our forefathers must have possessed persuasive gifts of oratory, for in 1831, Worcester was named as shire town or county seat of the newly formed county govern- ment and gave its name to the county. When we pay tribute, therefore, to the distinguished men and women who have brought glory to Worcester, we mean not only the native or adopted sons and daughters of our own city, but the entire VVorcester County. And, indeed, from the hill-crowned regions of Worcester, men have risen whose genius radiates the globe. Among the immortal beings ' A are Eli Whitney, Elias Howe, Edward Everett Hale, BEM-Ries KAUFLJAN Isaiah Thomas, lohn Bartholomew Gough, George Fris- bie Hoar, Clara Barton, Dorothy Lynde Dix, and William G. Morton. Time does not permit that we pay tribute to all, but in the work and achievements of George Frisbie Hoar, Clara Barton, Dorothy Lynde Dix, and William G. Morton, reside sufficient cause to honor the two hundredth birth year of Worcester County. George Frisbie Hoar is one of the most illustrious examples of an American statesman. He came to public eminence at a time when the greatest of crimes, human slavery, was entrenched everywhere in this country. Immediately he became a zealous disciple of liberty, exerting a stupendous influence through his iron energy, remarkable oratory and inimitable sense of justice. Into the Republican party Hoar came as a purging Hre, not as a blind partisan. Were measures unpopular that he deemed right, he never flinched or trimmed, for he believed First of all, 'ATO thine own self be truef' 'KThe problem of todayf, he declared, is not to convert the heathen from heathenism. 1t is to convert the Christian from heathenismfl Hoar always acted with democratic simplicity, never allecting the patrician. To every class and caste he revealed a sympathy that never assumed an air of condescension. Above all, he was the champion of the oppressed! Another lover of humanity was Clara Barton, the Angel of the Battlefieldf, To the perseverance of this woman. to her executive hand and her organizing brain is due the founding of the American Red Cross. Though of a delicate constitution and sensitive temperament, Clara Barton overcame every impediment in fulfilling her mission in this world-that of a sister of mercy. In every disaster, national and international-in the Civil War, in the famine of Russia in 1861, in the massacres of Arrmenia, in the Galveston flood-she gloriously extended a hand of relief. Clara Barton was, indeed, the symbol of Charity, for her deeds of mercy transcended every creed and race. Strikingly parallel to the benevolent achievements of Clara Barton were those of Thirty 53 , , ,ff s D ,...f W H, , -. - -fax -1 f , - -r f D ff. :W ,....,.e,..p Dorothy Lynde Dix, the redemptress of the insane. Differences bridged are the pontoons to success. This difference was with the world's barbaric neglect of the insane. Miss Dix travelled from city to city, presenting the painful facts of the treatment of the demented, prevailing upon state governments to establish hospitals for the world's afflicted, until she became know as the Champion and Challenger of the Insane. Her impelling principle was, 'iRest is not quitting the morzal cczrecr, Rest is the fitting of self to its sphere. Identical with the ideas of Clara Barton and Dorothy Dix was that of William G. Morton, the conqueror of pain. He, too, wished to relieve humanity from suffering, and he, too, bore patiently the yoke of opposition, scorn, and even persecution. William Morton was the discoverer of ether as a form of anaesthesia. From early youth, a horror of pain preyed upon his mind, and thence his sole ambition, his master passion, was to become a doctor. After years of industrious study, he became an eminent dentist and physician. All the time he conducted experiments in quest for some means whereby an insensibility to pain might result. At last, success came. On October 16, 1846, he revealed to the world the wonderful results of his investigations. For the short, ensuing period, fortune smiled upon him, but then followed an era of desertion and destitution. Dr. Morton was arraigned by envious rivals who claimed the honor of the discovery, he became the victim of a number of conspiratorsg and thenceforth his profession declined, poverty with its poisonous fangs attacked him, and the government refused to grant compensation. Dr. Morton died in a wretched state, but to the last breath of life, instead of being embittered, he maintained an interest in humanity and his love of the country and the race. . This city itself, the birthplace of Hoar and home of Dorothy Dix, Oxford, the cradle of Clara Barton, Charlton, the birthplace of Morton, and many other towns have given noble sons and daughters who have made Worcester a name not for a commonwealth, not for a country, but a name for a nation to be proud of. To us, fellow-graduates, who are now standing on the threshold of life. these men and women breathe inspiration. Their failures and their achievements are incentives to us to make our lives honorable. Let us leave today remembering that the aids to noble life are all withinf, Tlzirzy-one John Adams? School HEN Harvard College was still in its infancy, to - - be exact, in the year 1755, there was numbered among its graduating class a pale, slim young man who even then took life very seriously, Iohn Adams. At this time the little town of Worcester had just built its first permanent grammar school, and the selectmen unani- mously chose him for its presiding genius. By his ac- ceptance of this offer, Iohn Adams gave Classical High School the right to count among its founders the second President of the United States, for it is from this humble Latin Grammar School, which was housed in a tiny, two-room building, and which prepared boys for college, that Classical had its beginning. We are told that at times the young teacher found it hard to restrain his pupils, that once he barely escaped being thrown head- . . long into a snowdrift. However, he stood the ordeal for three years, resigning in 1758, to study law. ANNA-MARIE O'CoNNo1z The Latin school, under various masters, became firmly established. The patriot- printer, Isaiah Thomas, who had moved to Worcester during the Revolution so that he might publish the Massachusetts Spys' more safely, was much interested in the mainten- ance of this school. Upon his death in 1831, he left, as a bequest to the city, the land at the corner of Summer and Thomas Streets to be used as a site for a new Latin School building. The new building was completed about a year later, and the boys went to school there until 1845. For many years the girls had been attending the Girls' English High School, which was located at the corner of Main and Thomas Streets. As time passed, there was much talk of uniting the two schools, one of the arguments being that the girls would have a refining influence on the boys. However, a committee- man remarked ungallantly that he did not believe the girls would have any such influence, for every time he passed the girls, school in the winter he was vigorously snow-balled. In spite of his, and other objections, the proposed union took place in 1845. That day may be called the baptismal day of our school, for it was then that Classical High School, as it is now, came into existence. A new structure was erected on Walnut Street, opposite the present High School of Commerce. The people were so proud of this school that when the boys entered they had to remove their shoes and put on slippers. The first principal was the man who had been the last principal of the Latin Grammar School, Mr. Elbridge Smith. Although he had been graduated from Brown University only four years previously, he had proved himself a most capable teacher, and under his boundless energy and thorough methods, the new high school was soon placed on a firm basis. By 1870, the number of pupils had so increased that it was necessary to build another school- house. This time the red-brick building, which is now the High School of Commerce, was constructed. According to reports, the building was considered so beautiful and so well-equipped that people came many miles to see it. In that building, from 1870 to 1914, Classical High School lived and prospered. Perhaps most responsible for the institution which offers, we like to feel, a real service to our commonwealth, is the long list of men and women who have served on the school Thirzy-two 9. ,. .,.,,. - .. . .Y ...T , 4.7. ., Y f 'ex . .Y -.,-- -. - -.

That Classical stands to-day, as it has always stood, for clean sportsmanship, good scholarship, and worthy citizenship, is their work and their reward. Every generation has had those it has especially loved to honor, but to all generations of Classical students are known the names of Carey Field, principal and inspiring teacher, whose work has often been compared to that of Horace Mann, Alfred S. Poe, a former principal, who took great pains in compiling a history of this institution, Caroline Townsend, an able and constructive leader, who quite literally gave her life to this school, William F. Abbott, whose memory is perpetuated by the prize given annually in his name, Mary P. Iefts, under whose leadership the Girls, Aletheia Society, the oldest club now existing in the school, was founded, and Chester Tapley Porter, who as teacher and as principal carried the old ideals to new and greater significance for more recent classes. In the year 1914 the English High School, which had been established in this building in 1892, had so outgrown Classical High School that it was decided that the schools should change buildings. Therefore, during the principalship of the late Mr. Goodwin, Classi- calis Lares and Penates were moved to their present home, while the English High School, renamed the High School of Commerce, changed its abode to the larger building on Walnut Street. Classical High School should be justly proud of its history. There are probably, but few schools in America which can boast of such prominent men among their founders as I-ohn Adams and Isaiah Thomas, while the list of distinguished educators who have served on its faculty, and of graduates who have made enviable records in divers occupations, is most imposing. Let our valedictory, as the class of 1931, the 176th class since Iohn Adams came to Worcester, the 86th since Classical High School was so named, be a resolution, true and firm, to live up to the achievements of those who have preceded us, and make ourselves truly worthy to be the children of our famous Alma Mater. Thirty-three The Men Who Made Worcester a Center of Industry N less than a hundred years, Worcester has developed - - from a country town to a great manufacturing city. In 1831 the population was 4,0005 in 1931 it is fifty times that number. In the eighteenth century, Worcester was a farming village. Stephen Salisbury operated a general store at Lincoln Square, where he sold brandy, coffee, and other necessities of life. Potash was mined on Potash I-Iill, which is now known as Pleasant Street. Several promi- nent financiers of the age thought they had discovered a silver mine in Greendale, and hired Ha cunning Ger- man engineerv to work their nbonanzaf? Although he was not enough of an alchemist to turn their cobalt into silver, he showed his cunning by disappearing with the funds. - - So, in the absence of natural resources, even of any IRWNG SKEIST great supply of water power, Worcester seemed destined, even as another and neighboring city, Auburn, to be merely a lovely village of the plainf, Fate had decreed otherwise. The inventive genius of the people was destined to turn the village into the largest inland city of New England. The inventive turn of mind showed itself early in the city's history. One of the first local inventors was a soldier captured by the Indians in Queen Anne's War. The Red- skins desired his scalp, but, keeping his head, literally and figuratively, he built the first sawmill in Canada for the British, and earned his freedom. A famous mechanic of Revo- lutionary days was Timothy Bigelow, the village blacksmith, who became the Revolu- tionary hero. Isaiah Thomas was probably Worcester,s first captain of industry. I-Ie came to Worcester early in 1775 to continue his paper, the Spy,,, free from British censor- ship. I-Iis was the first New England paper to print the Declaration of Independence. Paper was then so scarce that at one time only half the Spyv could be printed. I-Ie built his own paper mill and became the countryas largest publisher. But Worcesteris industrial history begins properly with names like those of Washburn, I-Iawes, Bradley, and Crompton-men who not only gave their own individual genius but founded families which, in every generation, have contributed to the city's industrial growth. A century ago, Ichabod Washburn began his work at the forge. I-Ie invented the process of hardening and tempering steel, now universally used. He founded the Wash- burn and Moen Company, which in 1860 made the best wire in the country for telegraphs, pianos, and hoopskirts. Today the Washburn and Moen Company is the American Steel and Wire, a unit of the great national United States Steel Corporation. Washburn may be called the originator of modern house-building methods in New England. Up to his time, the neighbors refused to assist in raising a house until they had been given a few quaffs of potent rum. Not infrequently the structure caved in on the builders. But Washburn insisted upon a dry house and won his point. Thirly-four QQ ereasss one 0 Q, Qmcsffreiar ester J Not only house building underwent important changes in the middle of the nineteenth century. Up to 1850, correspondence was folded, sealed, and addressed: envelopes were unknown, since the number of sheets and not the weight, determined the postage. When the law was changed, the envelope industry came into existence. Russell Hawes of Wor- cester made the first practical envelope-folding machine in America. From this invention has resulted one of the industries which has made Worcester famous. In 1853, Usgood Bradley constructed the first passenger cars for railroad use. At that time, the cars were nothing more than stage coach bodies on Hanged wheels. As the num- ber of railroads increased, the business extended to foreign countries. Before the Civil War he had even made a large shipment to Egypt. The present plant in Greendale, employing 1200 men, is second only to the Pullman factory. George Crompton also typifies the spirit which has made Worcester grow. His father had invented the first great Crompton lo-om, but had failed in his business enterprise. The son secured an extension of the patent and began to manufacture the looms. The fire of 1854 burned all his property, and he was advised to go into bankruptcy. But instead, he begged for more time from his creditors, and finally paid them all. At the time of his death, he was the largest employer of labor in the city. From the inventiveness and business acumen of such men and others, our city has grown. One industry has attracted another. Today no city of our size in the United States can boast such a diversity of industry. We make almost everything, from valen- tines to Ere-arms, from carpets to trolley-cars. So with Charles G. Washburn, we may well conclude: It is worthy of note that the causes of Worcesteris prosperity are found within and not without. No abnormal conditions have prevailed,-which if changed could bring disaster. No governmental works or patronage have contributed to her advancement. We need not fear the natural advantages of other sections of the country, for there must always be conducted here the manufacture of the Hner grades of goods, requiring intelligence and delicate manipulation. As we review the past and forecast the future, we can but feel that Worcster is worthy of her civic seal,-The Heart of the Commonwealth. Thirty-yfzfe The Founders of Worcester N the hurry and confusion of our busy lives it is prob- - . able that many of us have never stopped to realize that Worcester, our own city, came into being more than two centuries ago. After the settlement of a few scat- tered towns on the Atlantic coast during the early part of the seventeenth century, the rich valley of the Con- necticut attracted the eyes of the planters of New Eng- land. Then too, the region near our beautiful Lake Quinsigamond, afforded a convenient resting place for travellers wearied by the tedious journey from Springfield to Boston. Thus, we find that, in 1664, grantees who had been given land here petitioned the General Court for a committee to determine whether this was a suitable - - place for a plantation. The report, written in accordance DORIS TUCKLR with the request, states that there might be enough meadow land for a small town of about thirty families. It was not, however, until 16771 that a deed to Quinsigamond was procured from the Indian proprietors by paying to them two coats and four yards of trucking cloth, valued at six shillings. The new village, in its very first stages, met with disaster, for, in the summer of 1675, after it had been abandoned by its inhabitants, it was totally destroyed by followers of King Philip. The General Court, in appointing a committee to lay out the town, had selected men, all of whom were energetic .and of splendid achievement, namely, Daniel Henchman, Daniel Gookin, and Thomas Prentice. Nevertheless, when, seven years later, they again took up their work as founders, the courage and determination of Henchman alone prevented the grant from being forfeited to the State, which threatened to take it away unless the plantation were immediately resettled. This able leader fashioned his plans from a model settlement which he and Daniel Gookin had previously worked out. It is interesting to note that their reason for wishing to reside here was to escape the frivoli- ties and temptationsn of the metropolis, the little Boston of that Dayf' We date the foundation of our city as a settlement from October 15, 1684, when, on the application of Henchman and Gookin, it received the name of Worcester. It is supposed that the name of this old English town was chosen rather than any other because Henchman had relatives living there at the time. With these facts as a background, we are well prepared to appreciate the character and services of the men who watched over our city in its ncradlei' and supported its toddling steps until it was able to stand on its own feet, as it were. Thirty-six EJ If-.X , ,,,, CGM CLASSH or to QQ5 P P4 , Q. Q ee - a Daniel Gookin, in 1621, arrived from Ireland and settled with his family in Virginia. When twenty years later, he was ordered from the colony because his religion was distaste- ful to his fellow Virginians, he took up his abode in Cambridge. Here, he was one of the first two people to receive a license for a printing press. It was Gookin who first reported to Boston the news of the great Indian Massacre of April 18, 1664. As a friend of Rev. Iohn Eliot, who himself was a worker among the Indians, Daniel Gookin became an earnest advocate for justice to the red men. Because of this interest, during the Indian Wars, he made many friends for the white men out of those who might have been dan- gerous enemies. We feel that he must have had a considerable education, as he wrote two very instructive histories, one, concerning the Indians, the other, early New England. He had the interests of Massachusetts Bay Colony at heart for more than forty years. Daniel Henchman, who boasted a venerable English ancestry, was employed as an under teacher in a grammar school in Boston for four years after his arrival there in 1666. He was a jack-of-all trades during his lifetime: merchant, lawyer, first bank treasurer in New England, soldier, and most capable manager of all the affairs of the new settlement. He is still known among his descendants as an Indian fighter, yet it would seem more appro- priate if he were called the Indian's friend, for he, like Gookin, looked upon them as men and brethren. He was well educated, widely read for his times, and a born leader of men. His outstanding trait was a love for peace in domestic as well as public matters. We should always remember him as the one who saved the seven hills for Worcester. Whether Henchman or Gookin rendered the more valuable service and is the more worthy of the title of founder, local historians have never been able to agree. I, a mere amateur chronicler, proud to record the merits of both, am content to let the question remain unanswered. Thirty-:even SGCIETIESI C. H. S. D. A. The Classical High School Debating Assembly and its faculty advisor, Mr. Perry S. Howe, deserve commendation this year for carrying on activities in the face of two great handicaps. The club had no competition from either its own school or other schools to stimulate its efforts, moreover, it has been forced to conduct its meetings during fourth periods, which were too brief for the club,s purposes. The programs, necessarily restricted by lack of time, consisted of debates and declamations, in which each member participated at least once. In the middle of the year, the entire club entered the Whalen-Van Leeuwen declamation contest, from which eight victors emerged. On March 18th, in one of the most interesting assemblies of the year, these orators competed in a public contest. David I. Power received first prize, Laurence Healy second, and David Grodberg third. The crowning event of the year came on May lst when David I. Power,,a junior, one of eighty-eight competitors, won first place in the annual Lyford prize-speaking contest, held under the auspices of Colby College. The club, realizing its deep indebtedness to Mr. Perry S. Howe for the time and effort he has put into making the club a success, on December 19th presented him with a copy of Garland's Roadside Meetingsv as a token of its appreciation. The following olhcers were elected to serve during the year: Henry Smith, president, David Power, vice-president, George Brooks, secretary, and George Shamagochian, treas- urer. Student Council The object of the Student Council is to further the interests of the student body in all activities and to represent the students whenever such representation is required. The Council also strives to strengthen the moral standard by enforcing the code of honor. During the past year, great success has, in many respects, been achieved. At the first meeting, on September ll, 1930, under the supervision of Mr. Harold Fenner, the following officers were elected: Albert Farmer, president, Grace Taylor, vice- presidentg Virginia Houghton, secretary. Various committees to manage many important details of school activity were appointed by President Farmer. The Student Council co-operated with Miss Gertrude Williams in securing necessary material for the publication of the Classical High School hand-book. Through the canvassing of the councilors, the Argus and athletic subscription money was collected. Parents, Night, an annual event, was managed smoothly by the student government. President Farmer acted as master of ceremonies, while the council members served as ushers at the entertainment and reception afterwards. On Alumni Day, former students of Classical received a hearty welcome from members of the Council. As sponsor of the operetta, Mr. Albert Wassell was given the willing ser- vice of the members who not only sold tickets but ushered as well. The regular senior council members are Virginia Houghton and Lewis Shipman, Room 4, Rachel Bell and Albert Farmer, Room 5, Grace Taylor and Adam Pizan, Room 6. The members at large are George Bolcanoff, Austin Coates, Earl Crockett, lean Gifford and Anna-Marie O'Connor. Tlzi1'ty-eight Science Club Under the capable guidance of Mr. Daniel F. O'Regan and Mr. David K. Arey, the Science Club has had an especially instructive x I season. The following oflicers were installed for the year: Austin Coates, president, Virginia Houghton, vice-president, Dorothy Murch, secretary, Frank Domblatt, treasurer. The programs con- - if sisted chiefly of scientific papers read by members. This year the club was most fortunate in securing two unusual moving picture programs. The first consisted of two educational films shown by a representative from the Norton Company. At a later date two delightful Films were presented by Mr. Bushong and Mr. Barron. The former told how pictures were made, and the latter explained how to hunt moose. The purpose of the Science Club is to promote further interest in the sciences. Pupils who have taken either physics or chemistry are eligible for this club. BOTANY CLUB The Botany Club, directed by Mr. George Hearn, has held meetings on the second and fourth Wednesdays of each month. The programs featured outside speakers and papers read by members. The Alumni Party, the trip to Cook's Canyon, and the annual visit to the Harvard Museum were the main events of the year. The following officers were elected for the first semester: Agnes Steinhilber, president: lane Sroczynska, vice-president, Frances Magee, secretary, Edward Buyniski, treasurer. For the second semester the ollicers were Viola Crouch, president: George Burgoyne, vice-president, Gertrude Wirth, secretary, Andrew Brosnihan, treasurer. Botany pupils who have attained a grade of BU or better are eligible to join this club, whose purpose is to promote further interest in botany. AGASSIZ CLUB The Agassiz Club, which was founded October, 1925, to arouse interest in the study of biology, elected the following othcers for the year 1931: Charles Farrell, president, Rita Mullan, secretary, and William Shipman, treasurer. Only biology students who have a standing of seventy-live per cent or over are eligible as members. Programs at the regular meetings, heldgthe third Wednesday of every month, have been presented, for the m-ost part, by members, at times, however, outside speakers have been secured. Occasion- ally non-members whoi are interested in this subject, have been invited to open meetings. To Mr. George B. O'Flynn,s generous assistance is due a large part of the success of this club. PYTHAGOREAN CLUB E The purpose of the Pythagorean Club is to give to its members useful knowledge about mathematics and its allied scientific subjects which are not included in the school schedule. Through the efforts of Miss Harriet Pierce, this club has had an interesting and profitable year, under the following officers: William Beausang, president, Irma lllingworth, first vice-president, Frank Domblatt, second vice-president, Antoinette Grigas, secretary, Ioseph Buckley, treasurer, and Elizabeth Haskins, chairman of the program committee. Domblatt was made president when Beausang left the city. Mary Quint was installed as the new secretary to fill the vacancy left by Antoinette Grigas. This year the programs featured demonstrations of such problems as the trisection of an angle, the squaring of the circle, and other puzzling problems. Magic squares and other mathematical recreations added interest to the work. An open meeting was held for all higher mathematics students, at which Mr. A. Harry Wheeler displayed his famous collection of geometric models. Thirty-nine ARGUS BOARD iARGUSf Iune-and another year has been weathered by the Argus, a year that has seen few inno- vations in the publication, but one that has been witness to the steady, ever-increasing success that is the reward of merit in any paper of its kind. To our faculty advisors, Miss Ruth C. Phillips and Miss Gertrude E. Willianls, has been due in no small measure, the growth that our now lusty brain-child has achieved. We are also greatly indebted to Mr. David K. Arey for the ellicient manner in which he has supervised the business affairs of the Argus. To these teachers, we are justly grateful, no mere words can express our appre- ciation of their skillful guidance, cheerful encouragement and inexhaustible patience. The undertaking of the management of the Argus by a member off the junior' class, has in years past, been a somewhat rare occurrence, and the assumption of this burden by a girl has been an even more unusual event. But Iean MacGregor has proved herself quite equal to the situation. Under her competent direction, an able board of thirtyaone pupils has demonstrated the fact that a school paper can be such as to meet with the hearty approval of its subscribers. The standard edition of the Argus consists of an editorial page, departments devoted to school activities, literary contributions and Tickletoes,', the joke section. Not only have the editorials composed by Miss MacGregor and her associates been, without exception, stimulating, but the reports of school activities, during the past years have shown a decided tendency towards originality. Indeed, the work of all departments has been praiseworthy. The March issue, the annual school directory, containing the names, addresses and tele- phone numbers of teachers and pupils, compiled as the result of great endeavor on the part of all members of the staff, will, no doubt, prove most useful. The favorable comment with which the humorous number, '4The Gas-Iette-the paper that lights the href' was received would lead its editors to cherish the belief that it was not used for the aforesaid purpose. The final edition, most appropriately entitled the Senior Number, containing, as it did, jokes and satires directed at the idiosyncracies of the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-One, was received with enthusiasm by all, save, perhaps, the pupils of that class. We sincerely hope that the Argus, which has aflorded such great pleasure to editors and subscribers alike, will attain its full maturity under the management of successive classes and that it will be to them as great a source of enjoyment and experience as it has been to us. Forty-one GREEN ROOM CLUB Green Room Club The ofhcers of the Green Room Club, for this year, were Henry I Smith, president, Anna-Marie O,Connor, vice-president, Pearl Mas- terman, secretary, and Arnold Friedman, treasurer. In order to dis- Y cover talented young Thespians among the members of the club, it W Q has been the custom for several years to present short plays at the meetings. ' This year many interesting and amusing plays were presented. At one meeting the club enjoyed the very great privilege of having Mr. Martin M. Post read Hugois Lucrezia Borgiaf, Of course with the members of the Green Room Club the playis the thing and this year the play was Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, a three-act comedy in modern dress. Early in February rehearsals began and continued, two or three days a week, until May 6th, the date the play was given. The cast was as follows: Nina, the pretty maid-servant, Gladys Iohnsong Anthony Rawson, the villian, Carl Fisher, Kitson, the butler, Abraham Belesong Iustin Rawson, the father of Anthony and Geoffrey, Leo Laskoff, Geoffrey Rawson, an honest young man interested in farming, Andrew Brosnihang Miss Rawson, his aunt, Viola Crouch, Mrs. Leavitt, a neighbor, lean MacGregor, Mrs. Adelaide Bumpstead-Leigh, an English society woman, Gertrude Iohnson, Mrs. de Salle, her quiet, obedient mother, Thelma Cotzing Violetde Salle, charming young girl, engaged to Anthony Rawson, Pearl Masterman, Stephen Leavitt, a neighbor, Lewis Shipman, and Peter Swallow, monu- mentalist, Iames Sullivan. The presentation, which took place in Horticultural Hall, was enthusiastically received by a large audience. The plot centered about the ingenious Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, whom we first saw as an English society woman, born in America, but having lived in England most of her life. Great was our surprise to learn soon afterward, when she talked with her mother and sister, that they were the family of 'KOld lim Sales, the patent medicine king from Missionary Loop, Indianaf, This very clever lady had insisted that they change their name to de Salle, and had so transformed her mother, her sister, and herself that we could hardly believe that they were not what they pretended to be. Adelaide had married a clergyman in England, and the three were now visiting at the home of the Rawsons, wealthy Americans, for Violet had become engaged to Nnthony Rawson. Adelaide aston- ished us all by the imperturbed poise and courage with which she faced Peter Swallow, :nonumentalist and self-acknowledged orator, to whom she had been engaged back in Missionary Loop ten years before, and she greatly amused us by her condescending Eng- lish air which made Pete reluctantly admit he was mistaken, that she was not, as he had supposed, Della Sales. But Violet, moved by her conscience, confessed their true origin to the Rawsons, who immediately broke off Anthony's engagement. Then we learned that Geoffrey, an honest young man who wanted to return to his ranch in New Mexico, was in love with Violet, and she also loved him. Mrs. Bumpstead-Leigh, by threatening to tell his father and aunt of some of the escapades of Anthony who was, it seems, rather a villain, succeeded in making him persuade them to accept defeat grace- fully and allow Geoffrey to marry Violet. And so the play ended happily. The actors are worthy of much praise for their life-like, finished interpretation of the characters, and certainly Mr. Post, who has of his own free will put so much valuable time and tireless work into this production, ought to feel justly proud of the admirable results. The senior class should be especially grateful to this talented member of our faculty, for through his generosity in setting aside, according to his custom, some of the proceeds of the play for our class fund, he has helped us greatly in our financial affairs. Forty-three Aletheiia The autumn of 1931 will usher in the golden anniversary of Worcester's oldest organ- ization for high school girls, the Aletheia Literary and Debating Society. For the past half century the members of the Aletheia have devoted themselves to the study of some phase of literature. This year, under the supervision of Miss Anna C. Shaughnessy, the faculty advisor, the girls undertook the study of the American short story. They traced its development from its earliest source, beginning for a background with the origin of the short story in the World, down through the ages to the modern day. At the last meet- ing, various American magazines were discussed and the type of stories found in them. Th meetings of the Aletheia were held every third Friday in the library and the pro- grams vvere planned by Pearl Masterman, chairman of the program committee and her assistants, Mary Quint, Pauline Arkus, and Beatrice Kaufman. This year a novel feature was introduced at the Aletheia meetings. After the program, extemporaneous talks ensued. Slips of paper containing various subjects for discussion were drawn by the members, after which each member spoke for three minutes on the question that she had drawn. Besides the regular Work, the Aletheia, upon the request of Mr. Fenner, undertook the Writing of the history of Classical High School. No extensive work has, as yet, been accomplished. Thus far, the girls have done some research work and have formed plans and preparations for the work of the following year. The ofhcers of this year have been Anna-Marie O,Connor, president, Grace Taylor, vice-president, Barbara Gilmore, secre- tary, and Doris Tucker, treasurer. Forty-four Stamp Club ln 1928 a new organization, the Stamp Club, was established at Classical, under the directorship of Mr. Matthew I. Couming. Every pupil interested in stamps was invited to join. Since then the club has steadily increased in numbers until now it has an enroll- ment of forty members. The club convenes every third Thursday in Room 32. Various subjects of philatelic interest are discussed, reports of all stamps issued in the past month are given, and then follows an exchange of stamps among the members. Every three months, approximately, the club holds an auction, the chairman of which is Iames Durning. One of the gala events of this year was the open meeting, which was held on Friday, February 18, 1931. Mr. Frank Coes, one of the country,s greatest connoiseurs of stamps, delivered an uniquely interesting lecture on the postal system. Undoubtedly the success of this year is due to the untiring efforts of Mr. Couming and to the zealous aid of the ofhcers who are: Iames Durning, president, David Power, vice- president, Austin Coates, secretary, lean MacGregor, treasurer, and Iames Sullivan, chair- man of the program committee. Classical l-li-Y Club Clean speech, clean thought, clean sport, clean scholarshipu is the motto of the Classi- cal Hi-Y Club, which assembles weekly at the Y. M. C. A. We venture to say that no other school club can even hope to rival the variety of interesting speakers who have been presented at the Hi-Y meetings. Among the more prominent speakers were Mr. Iames Whittal, who supplemented his talk on Aeronautics,w with some very interesting motion pictures, Mr. C. Iohn Bushong, whose films on Hunting Moose with Gun and Cameraf were one of the high-spots of the year, Iohn C. Mahoney, attorney-at-law, who gave an instructive address on CitiZenship,H and Mr. Perry S. Howe, of the Classical High School Faculty, who presented some enlightening ideas on School Spiritf, The members of the club are themselves active, Iohn Graves, the secretary and treas- urer, attended the Older Boys, Conference at Lynn, last December, and was also one of the Worcester delegates to the World Conference at Toronto. The ofhcers of the club, whose purpose is to maintain, create, and extend the spirit of Christian brotherhood throughout the home, school, and community lifef' are Iohn Brand, president, William Barros, vice-president, Iohn Graves, secretary-treasurer. Mr. Ioseph Wadleigh, the former scout executive, is the present advisor. Forty-five Bird Club A new activity, namely, the Bird Club, has forced its way to recognition in Classical society this past year. This infant organization was brought into being, as it were, under the direction of Mr. Allan Rice, who on every occasion has proved to be the good fellow. Several enjoyable and most instructive features have been presented to the club, among which were a talk by Mr. Parker of South High School, field walks under the supervision of Mr. Talbot, and a typewritten lecture explaining a set of lantern slides sent from the Audubon Society. The nature enthusiasts have been kept on their toes every minute by the oflicers who were Lemoyne Burleigh, president, Charles Farrell, vice-president, Agnes Steinhilber, secretary, and Norman Robbins, treasurer. From a point of view other than that of education, this season has been most success- ful, in that hardy pioneers have been developed among our Classicalites as a result of the tramps which the members have taken during winter days Hof bitter-biting coldf' Now, in these beautiful spring days, the lure of the out-of-doors and the call of the birds are constantly attracting the friends of the feathered folkf, The socials scarcely need to be mentioned so widespread is their reputation in school as well as in the club itself. Surely, in this one short year,s time a commendable start has been made by this new organization toward the goal of becoming a Well-established and a highly reputed society. Girl Reserves This year, the Girl Reserves have been most industrious, probably because they have had such splendid models in their officers: president, jane Sroczynska, vice-president, Lucille Royg secretary, Eleanore Lacoutureg treasurer, Mae Wrenn. To beautify her home, each girl has fashioned a door-stop in the shape of a flower-basket, a novel creation, then, too, fascinating bracelets have been made according to the ownerjs fancy. Mrs. Barnard, who was on one occasion a speaker on the subject of etiquette, was nearly smothered after- ward by too eager girl questioners. But the members are lovers of sports and of the out-of-doors, as well as of socials. One memorable week-end was spent at their organization camp in Leicester, while often they enjoy bowling and swimming parties at the Y.,' Unquestionably, they are a genial and everactive society. Forly-:ix Orchestra Owing to the able leadership of Mr. Albert W. Wassell, who has been H honored this year by being appointed conductor of the Worcester Phil- F harmonic Orchestra, Orchestra A has enjoyed a very successful year. It gained widespread recognition through its performance at the Father and Son Banquet, held at the Y. M. C. A. on February 19th, and it also contributed greatly to the success of the Iunior Music Festival on April 29th, since half of our orchestrals musicians belong to the Consolidated Symphony. The music for the operetta and the senior play was provided by members of Classical,s orchestra, vvhich also played at the Pop Concert, and on various school pro- grams. Orchestra B, which is formed chiefly to give players the necessary experience to join Orchestra A, sent seven of its members into the more advanced group this year. The officers of Orchestra A for this year were Raymond Beeber, president, Margaret Ridler, secretary, Bernice Wood, librarian, Iacob Mooradian and Samuel Shulman, stage managers. - The members are as follows: Hrst violins, Irving Skeist, concert master, Hedwig Charko, Clara Freeman, Edith Iensen, David Levenson, Hanna Namen, Margaret Ridler, Vitold Sukaskas, second violins, Alfred Goldenberg, concert master, Charles Kiljanczyk, Henry Mieczkowski, Francis Pruczynski, Genevieve Vaitekunas, Ioseph Valatka, viola, Chris Collechi, cello, Carl Fisher, basses, Eli Burack, Timothy Clifford, clarinets, Ray- mond Beeber, Hrst, Louis Shack, second, Frances Martin, third, flutes, Norman Svenson, Wilmont Trumbell, cornets, George Gilligan, Hrst, Louis Cohen, second, Sumner Cotton, third, French horns, Henry Abusamra, David Gould, trombone, Charles Aronovitz, tuba, Ioseph Feldman, drums, Iacob Mooradian, Abraham Solomon, tympani, Samuel Shul- man, piano, Agnes Steinhilber, Bernice Wood. Forty-:even GIRLS' GLEE CLUB BOYS' GLEE CLUB Kithara Club The Kithara Club, an organization for musicians and music-lovers, has concluded one of the most profitable and delightful years in its brief history, for this society is compara- tively young, having been founded in 1922, with a membership of fifteen, which has grown until it now numbers sixty. The program which the Kithara Club has carried out this year under the competent guidance of its faculty advisor, Miss Elizabeth E. Peirce, has been both interesting and educational. The study of the grand opera was undertaken by the members of the club, and some of the World's greatest musicians and their Works were discussed at the meetings. Many of the masterly arias from the brilliant g'Carmen by Bizet, the entrancing Aidan of Verdi, and selections from Wagneris tetralogy, The King of Niebelungf, have been presented by victrola records, sung and played by the best artists and orchestras of modern times. Not only were selections played, but papers were presented at the meetings, giving full accounts of the lives of the composers, and also dis- cussions of the facts bearing on the sources, style, and presentation of the operas studied. A complete story of each opera, taken scene by scene, was read before the rendition ofthe selections. The Kithara Club has undoubtedly fulfilled its -object of promoting a better under- standing and greater appreciation of the art of music among the students of Classical High School, for the meetings, which have taken place on the Hrst and third Mondays of each month, have held for the members pleasant hours filled with beauty and song. The officers for the year of 1930-31 were president, Arnold Freedman, lvice-president, Norman Robbins, secretary, Gertrude Kaufman, treasurer, Gertrude Iohnson, and chair- man of the program committee, Dorothy Kashman. Farzy-nine' Classical High School Band The Classical High School Band has passed through another successful season under Mr. Wassellls direction. The sorry condition of the campus,,, on which the band prac- ticed marching under the stentorian commands of Drum Majors Carroll O,Connor and Iohn Deedy, is only one testimonial of the zest with which the two-score members tooted, blew, and banged. Moreover, the mortgage on the snappy uniforms has been paid off, much to Mr. Wassell,s satisfaction. The band appeared at the three big football games, marching up the Held, forming the letters C, Hi. S.,', and playing the Alma Mater. It played at several assemblies, and marched in the Armistice Day and the Polish-ALmerican Alliance parades. March 25th was a red-letter day in the history of the band. On that date it played at Count Felix von Luckner's lecture in Mechanics Hall, under the auspices of the Boy Scouts of America. The oihcers of the band are president, Harvey White: secretary-treasurer. Frances Mar- tin, business manager and stage manager, Benjamin Elkind, assistant stage managers, Leon Shapiro and Leonard Chesworth. The members are as follows: cornets, Eli Burack, Leonard Chesworth. Louis Cohen, Sumner Cotton, Morris Glixman, Everett Leach and Harvey White, clarinets, Philip Atwood, Charles Blumenauer, Timothy Clifford, lames Cosgrove, Stuart Ferguson, Law- rence Lewis, Frances Martin, Mandel Segal, Lewis Shack, Albert Stein, George Yanofskyq trombones, Charles Aronovitz, Cecille Freeman, Dorothy Strogoff, Charles Sigalove, tuba, Ioseph Feldman, drums, Henry Blumenauer, Robert Daw, Iacob Mooradian, Samuel Shul- man, Abraham Solomon, Bertrand Warren, horns, David Gould, Leon Shapiro, Sydney Stein, baritone, Benjamin Elkind, piccolo, Wilmont Trumbull, saxophone, Howard Handelman, Ralph Sigel, William Spiegel.

Com- merce followed with 60 points, while Classical totalled 44 for third place. Frank Cal- cagni finished fourth, placing Classical among the first five to cross the line. However, our track team showed its real merit by winning the Inter-High Indoor Meet. Flashy George Brooks broke the old record by completing the 220-yard dash in 28.2 sec- onds. Al', Farmer captured the 440-yard run. Elmer Strong, a novice, surprised us all by taking the broad jump, with a leap of 9 feet, 3 inches. Another record was hung up, when big Bill Lajousky heaved the shot 42 feet, 4M inches. The relay team, composed of Brooks, Balcanolf, Black and Magnan, won easily. The final scores were Classical 45, Commerce 32Z, North 22, and South 72. The outdoor season opened with the Tech Interscholastics, followed by the New Hamp- shire and the Fitchburg meets. Farmer, Black, Fisher and Brooks scored at these pre- liminary events. In the closely contested Class Games, Classical earned third position. True to his usual form, Al,' Farmer, broke the tape in the quarter-mile. Bil1U Laj-ousky tossed the shot for another first. Second place in both the furlong and the century was taken by George Brooks. Carl Fisher tied for second place in the pole-vault, and Adam Pizan finished fourth in the half-mile run. Our relay team, consisting of Farmer, Brooks, Lajousky, and Magnan, captured second place. The final scores were as follows: Commerce 502, North 38, Classical 252, and South 15. Fifzy-three Football This year our football team finished the series undefeated, although Commerce won the inter-high school championship. On October 3rd, we played North to a 6 to 6 tie. Bil1,' Adamitis caught 'KTony lgnatovitch's pass in the second quarter to make the touchdown. N'orth's aerial attack featured the game. In the first quarter of our game with South, Dave Hardy's thirty-yard run placed us on Southls ten-yard line, but we were stopped there. ln the third period the Cantwellians advanced steadily and did not stop until Dave,' Hardy had gone over the line. During the last few minutes South marched seventy-five yards down the Held and scored a touch- down with only three seconds to play. The final score was 7-7. On October 18th, the team went to Providence, to be whipped 20 to O by Moses Brown Academy. For the Hrst time since 1919, Classical defeated Commerce to the tune of 18-0. The first touchdown was the result of a pass from McCafferty to Leary, after McCafferty had plunged through the Commerce line several times. A fifty-yard run by Davey Hardy netted us six more points. In the third quarter, Adamitis made a sensational jump, to catch 0,Reilly,s pass for a third score. Thus the old Commerce jinx was broken, The members of the team were Peter Karpowich, le., Nazir Salih, lt., Abe', Beleson, lg., George Sawicki, c., Marvin Miron, rg., William Lajousky, rt., William Adamitis, re., Iohn O,Reilly, qb., Richard Leary, lhb.g Dave,' Hardy, rhb.g Anthony Ignatovitch, fb. Fifly-foul' Basketball The basketball squad made an enviable record this year by winning fl every game but one, which was lost by merely two points. Heartened -A by clear-cut victories in its first three games, Classical began its varsity 5, meets by defeating Commerce, 39-21. An inspired Fisher led the fes- tivities, while the two guards, Balcanoll and Adamitis, did excellent work in the back-court. A week later, South also tell before this smoothly-working quintet, to be followed by North, which was over- welmed by a score of 29-14. In this latter victory, Captain Earl Crockett, who has had a meteoric rise, proved to be a brilliant and Worthy leader for this flashy team. As if to avenge our heart-breaking loss of February 6th, when we were edged out by a score of 22-20, at the hands of the Blue and Gold, the Irving Streeters came back by trouncing South, 34-14, and then North, 18-10. Adam Pizan, lanky center, was the shining light in the meet with the Orange and Black. Led by the outstanding forward, Captain Crockett, this champion squad won the Central Massachusetts Basketball Tournament, thus finish- ing the season in a blaze of glory. The regular lineup consisted of Fisher, lf., Crockett, rf., Pizan, c., Balcanoff, lg.g Adamitis, rg. The complete schedule was as follows: Classical Opponent Classical Opponent Postls 31 16 Commerce 20 22 Tech Seconds 31 18 Post's 29 10 Sr. j0hn's 22 12 South 34 14 Commerce 39 21 N0ft1'1 18 10 South 28 15 Academy Seconds 27 19 North 29 14 Franklin 24 11 St, Iohnlg 21 13 Northbridge 28 16 St. Peteris 32 30 UXl31'iC1gC 25 17 Fifty-five Baseball Since the opening of the baseball season Classical has entertained high hopes of at least tying for the championship, if not Winning it. Although the team began the season un- propitiously by losing to St. Iohn's and to Fitchburg, it took St. Peterls into camp by a score of 9-4. But it suffered a keen disappointment in its first varsity contest, when the Blue and Gold emerged victors in an 8-2 score. Then South and North both succumbed to the Blue and White, Whose chances for the championship thus became fairly strong. The squad's hopes rose higher yet, when St. Iohnls was defeated, 10-2, largely through Foster McCafferty,s excellent pitching, and the capable leadership of Captain Anthony Chenis, the best hitter of the team. Then, amid wild enthusiasm, the Irving Streeters tied for the championship by overcoming Commerce, 8-6, and, with only two more varsity games remaining, We are all confident of securing the inter-high cup. The games with St. Peterls, South, and North, yet remain to be played. The stars of the team, McCallerty, Hrst-string pitcher, and Captain Tony Chenis, the strongest batter, received sturdy support from the basemen, Earl Crockett and Charles Spencer, shortstop, George Balcanoflg and catcher, David Hardy. The complete schedule Was as follows: Classical Opponent St. Iohnls South 4 1 Fitchburg North 10 8 St. Peter's St. Iohn's 10 2 Commerce Commerce 8 6 Fifly -.fix Girls' Basketball We regret that the girls cannot share honors with the boys as the championship basket- ball team of Worcester, for although the spirit and desire to win were ever present, the lassies gained only a tie with South for third place. The scores of the games are as follows: Classical 21, South 21, Classical 35, North 383 Classical 13, Commerce 36, Classical 10, South 18, Classical 19, North 36, Classical 26, Commerce 18. This last victory over Commerce enveloped the team in a cloud of glory, for indeed such whirlwind speed and accuracy of shot had not been excelled throughout the season. The Final standing of the teams was as follows: North, Commerce, Classical and South. The varsity captain was Grace Taylor and the manager, Doris Tucker. Phyllis Prender- gast was high scorer for Classical with Hortense Crosby ranking second. ln the inter-class series, the senior team, captained by Ruth Damerell, annexed the cham- pionship for the third successive year. We seniors shall miss our basketball and friendly, capable coach, Miss Whitin, but We are sure the splendid material .of next year will place Classical in the winning ranks once more. Fifty-:even HOCKEY TEAM TENNIS TEAM Hockey The Fates certainly wove a surprising, but most satisfactory destiny for our hockey players this year, for although, at the first few prac- -f tices, it seemed a rather difficult undertaking to form a team from XXXX the many inexperienced candidates, among whom there were only Nix? five ,veterans of last fall, nevertheless, the results speak for themselves: B ours is the champion hockey teaml There were three factors which were most influential in aiding our girls to reach the lofty peaks of success: first, the constant instruction given to Anne Athy, goalkeeper, by Alu Lawton, who was ugoaliel' last season, second, our good fortune in having as a fullback, Tony Grigas, who frightened with her iron wrist and fast-flying balls, not only her opponents, but also her own mates, and most important of all, the ever-willing, often super-cheerful spirit of co-operation among the girls, coupled with the praiseworthy training of Miss Sara Whitin. Under the leadership of Captain Hort,' Crosby, who 'Ajust couldn't scold a soulf, and with the vigor-renewing tonic, oranges, furnished by our manager, Sibyl Gould, what excuse had we for defeat? The team has a very unusual score, as no school tallied a single point against it. Classical 0, Commerce 03 Classical l, North 0, Classical 3, South 0, Classical 4, South Og Classical 2, Commerce 0, Classical 2, North O. No attempt will be made to name the girls who played in the order of their importance, but these were the champions: Hortense Crosby, Sibyl Gould, Virginia Houghton, Dor- othy Sampson, Antoinette Grigas, Phyllis Prendergast, Anna-Marie O,Connor, Anne Athy, Iean MacGregor, Virginia Conant, Helen Zickell, Vera Adam, and Doris Tucker. We bequeath our excellent luck to next yearis prospects. Tennis What a game! You can be sure that it is a good one when Classical's fair tennis stars take to the courts. There was much enthusiasm over the school tournament and when the final tennis squad was chosen, it had the very best that the school had to offer. The members of the squad are Gertrude Budish, captain, Gladys Iohnson, Virginia Conant, Virginia Houghton, Dorothy Murch, Helen Zickell, Kathleen Horgan, Bernice McCarthy, Helen Goodwin, Mary Smith and Hazel Mara. The semi-finals of the school tournament were played by Virginia Conant and Barbara Gilmore. Virginia won with the score 6-3, 6-l. The other match was played by Ger- trude Budish and Helen Goodwin. Gertrude defeated Helen, 6-1, 6-3. Gertrude Budish defeated Virginia Conant, thereby winning the championship of Classical. The scores of the match were 2-6, 7-5, and 9-7. Because she has won the championship, Gertrude will have her name engraved on the loving cup, which will always remain in the school. In the inter-high series, Classical defeated South. The players for these games were Ger- trude Budish, Virginia Conant and Gladys Iohnson. Only one match was lost to South in this series. The same team played the girls of the High School of Commerce and won a brilliant victory for Classical. In the final series with North, Classical won two of the three matches, for Gertrude Budish defeated Agatha Strong, 6-2, 6-lg Virginia Conant defeated Helena Perry, 6-l, 6-0, and Gladys Iohnson lost to Ruth Kenney, l-6, 6-3, 3-6. This victory makes Classical,s team the champions of the city. This honor permits the players of these matches to wear the coveted W,, and the entire squad the 'iC.', ln addition to this the City Champion- ship Cup will reside in this school for one year, and the name of Classical will be en- graved on it.

We do appoint Charon, denizen of the lower regions, wherein we do confine our most verdant freshman and our most savory Mzoofl as the executor of our last will and testament. In testimony whereof we have hereunto set our hands this Fifteenth day of Iune, 1931. CLASS OF NINETEEN HUNDRED THIRTY-ONE.
