Today, as we complete our high school courses, we realize for the first time that we have reached a turning point in our lives. As we attain this parting of the ways, we pause to pay tribute to those who have helped us so far on our way and who have marked for us the road ahead. First we wish to express thanks to our parents who have always been at our side to direct and guide us with silent sacrifices and unselfish devotion. To our principal and all our teachers we give sincere thanks. They have by their untiring cooperation and guidance become our parents in school. Classmates, today we are hound closer together than ever before. The friend- ships we have made hut foremost in our exercises. Wherever just as our thoughts at school are among the most pleasant memories of our lives, minds are the classmates who are not here to join us in our they are, we know that their thoughts are with us, here, today: are with them always. We know by their letters, their visits, and their achievements, that they learned well the lessons taught at Classical. No words can truly express the appreciation we feel towards our parents and teachers. Let us resolve, then, by our deeds to reflect due credit on the generous, untiring efiort they have expended in our hehalf. ln this way alone can we reveal our thanks and affection to them. Therefore, parents and friends, l welcome you to these our Class Day exercises. 14 014244 JACQUELINE COGHLIN Ours is one of the few graduating classes which has to acknowledge that world affairs are of more importance than the daily doings of its own members. When we, in the fall of 1940, entered Classical under the shadow of war clouds, we found that although it appeared the same, high school life was undergoing many changes. Hardly had we been here a month when registration for the first draft took place, and before the year was ended, the Naval Reserves were called out of the classrooms. Quite unaware of portentous things and quite according to Freshman standards, half the class appeared at the first football and field hockey practices of the season. Whether the girls attended because of their love for the game or because of the desire to see their 'ghandsome heroes on the field is still a debatable question. Among the bench-warmers who cheered the boys on to the football championship and the girls on to the Held hockey and tennis crowns were 'Rozie Rollins, Justine 0,Don- nell, Mary Grady, Frank Kronoff, Dick Looney, and Bill Hair. In February we acquired two new class rooms but lost our ugymw. With the help of Henry Manning, Paul Couming, Ann LaVigne, Ann Carbutt, and other en- ergetic students we carried on for five minutes every fourth hour and soon mastered those ndiflicultn exercises such as touching the fioor without bending our knees, flinging our arms sideways and not giving our neighbor a black eye, and closing and opening our fingers until the groans were too much to bear. Other highlights of our freshman year were the redecoration of the entire school, our introduction to the library and consequently to Room four, the night football games, the Agassiz roller skating parties, broomstick skirts and mile long necklaces, and, of course, Milot Underwood's flaming red shirt. 15 September 194-1, found us returning to school with the sophistication of the average sophomore, but at the same time aware that the war-clouds were rapidly moving closer. Many of us were sending packages regularly to older brothers and other relatives in the service. For the moment, however, we were more concerned with skirmishes on the hockey and football fields, and we captured the two titles with little difficulty. Like many other Americans l attended the movies on the afternoon of December 7th unaware of how important that day was to become in history. Everything changed from the moment when, emerging from the theatre, I learned of the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. Within a few days practice air drills were held at school, bomb squads selected, messenger corps formed, and a few daring Classicalites even became Air Raid Wardens. lt did not take the timid Sophomores long to discover how black- outs could be used to the best advantage. The spring term introduced something new, a measles epidemic. Ann Garbutt, Jetty O'Connell, and Tommy Earle were only a few of the unfortunate victims who had to miss a week of school. We, of stronger constitutions, received our reward early in May when sugar rationing allowed us a three-day vacation. On returning to school the next fall, we found that Mr. Cravedi had left us for the army. Within a few weeks, Mr. Marden and Mr. Rourke joined the Forces. Many of our girls could be seen during the week before Christmas trying to satisfy-or ignore-customers in downtown department stores. They were filling the places of employees who had left either to work in factories or join some branch of the service. Betty Lawler, Enid Evans, and June Ure were only a few of the students willing to give up a week of school and be paid for the sacrifice. Two additions to Classical, Jane Wheaton and Nancy Dargie, caused quite a stir. Anytime you want news of Boston, New York, or New Jersey just ask Nancy. Remember the Jinx Dance and the Trolley Hop? Who could forget the trouble we had securing rides because of gasoline rationing! The Senior Prom provided the same problem, and a few ingenious souls solved it by hiring a horse and buggy. Because of the Commando course introduced in February of our Junior year, straight hair, muscular arms and legs, and bruised knees and elbows became the ac- cepted feminine version. ,lustine O'Donnell, Mary Fitzgibbons, and Milly Benson will uphold that statement. The course had one good point though for it gave us a chance to see the boys, namely Jimmy Sullivan and Dick Moylan, with their hair slicked back out of their eyes for at least ten minutes after returning from gym . At the 1943 annual spring debate of the C.H.S.D.A., Bill Sweeney, our class orator, received the award for the best speaker. At graduation Dorothy Tillson and Dick Harris were chosen as the outstanding members of our junior class and were presented with the Aletheia and Harvard Book prizes. During the summer vacation many boys and girls worked in factories and at other wartime jobs. Some of the transformations were Rolf Meyersohn, to a factory worker, June Ure, to an apple picker, Betty Kemp, to a salesladyg and Tommy Earle, to a bell-hop. A review of this year, our last, brings back many memories for everyone of us. We have at last arrived at the top and can now only look down upon fellow students. Our first great disappointment was the discontinuation of night football games on 16 account of dim-out regulations which meant that the boys had to ask the girls out ahead of time instead of relying upon their school spirit to bring them out of hiding on Friday nights. Every week some boy left Classical either to join the fighting forces or enter college. Among those who went to college were our president, Paul Couming, and class treasurer, Frank Kronoff, both to Holy Cross. Ann LaVigne and Jane Timon had to carry out the class business. The Argus board lost its last business manager when Fred Brennan, along with George Philip, left for Tech. The wearing of service insignias soon came into fashion with every girl trying to display the most complete collection. At the last counting, Jane Hatch had a slight edge over Virginia Robertson and Harriet Early. If your mail was late or arrived at the wrong address in December, you can blame Bob Handfield, Bud Kelliher, Jack Mathews, or Milot Underwood, just a few of the boys who helped deliver mail during the Christmas rush. The Student Council Christmas hop, postponed several times for one reason or another, was perhaps the first school dance ever held where everyone had plenty of room on the dance floor. Mr. Barnard shared the committee's disappointment. The assembly at which Mrs. Baker talked on our personalities gave many of us a new outlook on life. On hearing that one sure way to a man,s heart was through his stomach, Ann Crotty began supplying Home room Eight and anyone else inter- ested in home-made cake. Arthur Katzenson, hoping that food would have the same effect on the girls, produced some Dagwood', sandwiches that no one dared touch. The V-12 tests held for three long hours one March morning left many of our boys stunned for days afterwards. Burton Sapiro, Dick Harris and Irving Hurwitz, who were accepted, have already been sworn in. Our distinguished service list is long and varied. Shirley McNabb, June Ure, Dorothy Tillson, Dick Harris, and Dick Vareschi represent the intellectual side. Janet Laipson, Priscilla Patton, Meredith Norcoss, Ruth Raphael, and Ruth Rupkus have all done well in the musical organizations. On account of the war, our club life has been greatly curtailed but the Aletheia has flourished under Mary Kuzinas. The ath- letic stars, Frank Kronoff, Dick Moylan, John Karpuk, Ed Tinsley, and Dick Looney tried in Vain to keep up on top this year. As a class our history has ended, but as men and women it is just beginning. Today we are happy-go-lucky high schoolersg tomorrow we shall enter the hospitals, the armed forces, or prepare, by further education, for our responsibilities as citizens. Vinci! Amor Patriae. 17 eladfi Uaaifian 7 WILLIAM ILA. SWEENEY For the youth who is asked to offer himself that our way of life may be preserved, it is naturally of interest what that way involves beyond republican principles of government. As he looks more deeply into this heritage of his fathers, he realizes that more will be required of his and succeeding generations than the defeat of Nazism. The world today is governed by a secularist culture. By this term we mean the attempt to preserve the values of life on a non-moral and non-religious foundation. This theory strives to separate lifeffor example, education, economics, and politics- frorn their center which is Cod. Put more simply, it means that the intellect of man is considered as having absolute autonomy and is subject neither to ethical principles or the sovereign law of a Supreme Being. Ever since man came into what Thomas Paine so aptly called 6'The Age of Reasonfi he has emphasized three governing terms: Progress, Science, and Material- ism. These principles may be called the guide lines of our way of lifeg in any case they are assumptions of a sensate culture, which education, the press, and public opinion accept as unchallenged truth. We shall consider these bases on which the world today rests, note their results, and consider the alternate conclusions of a moral code governed by faith in the laws of conduct put forth by a Heavenly Father as essen- tial for the welfare of all men. Progress, as we know it today, asserts that man is naturally good. He has no in- bred inclination to evil, but is forced to do wrong because of inherited defects or the stress of a struggle for existence. lt further afhrms that goodness in man increases with time, while evil and error decline. This assumption confuses mechanical betterment with moral advancement. His- tory does not prove we are making progress. During the past century there has been 18 a war in some part of the globe in every decade at a time when man materially has had more to make for happiness than at any other period in history. ls that progress? The sad and tragic fact is that barbarism is not behind usg it is beneath us. And unless we adhere to a moral code based on the laws of the Almighty, it will emerge at any moment. True progress then lies not in the refinement of animal impulses but in their deliberate control by acts of the will. Only in this way shall we be able to keep in step morally with the physical progress of civilization. Secondly, when we speak of science as leading the world astray, we mean not scientific truth itself but the abuse of it which afiirms that the scientific method is the only valid way of knowing anything. The scientific method is valid only in things subject to laboratory methods. The great values of life-such as justice truth, charity -are beyond such experimentation. One cannot throw a man into a cauldron to boil to see if he gives forth the unmistakeably green fumes of envy and jealousy. We are paying the penalty for divorcing science from religion. Science, which was supposed to be our servant, is today our master. Today, millions shrink in terror from a ma- chine in the skies. Man uses his reason to destroy man. Children crouch in dread and mothers dig like moles into the bowels of the earth as bombs fall from the air. How then can we say that what was intended to be our servant is not today our master? We must couple science with religion. We must learn that though we discover in the tiny atom a miniature of the great solar system, we are not the authors of the Book of Nature, but only its proof readers. We must realize that scientific truth is a Divine revelation, and a greater reason for glorifying God for the order, law and harmony found in His universe. Then we shall be able to turn the products of science to the uses of good as intended by a Father in heaven. Third, the term Materialism affirms that the end of man's life is the acquisition of money, of power, and of the enjoyment of pleasure. lf we accept this doctrine who are we to say that Hitler is wrong? We admit by the adherence to this philosophy, that, though one is inhuman in attaining prosperity he is right because he has ful- filled the end of life. The degradation of Europe-the subjugation of China-the attack by the Japanese on the United States-all these are right because they are means to the end of life. Such is the final state of decline. If we measure progress in terms of 1000 airplanes dropping 1000 bombs upon the enemy, if our scientists must find in research and laboratory experiments new and more terrible weapons of destruction, if we accept these enthusiastically, let us eat, drink, and be merry for tomorrow is our time to die. What are we fighting for? If we are fighting to preserve these philosophies that have produced chaos and wars, than we can hope for nothing but future repetition of this bloodshed. But if We are fighting to have a world governed by the moral law put forth by our Creator, we shall attain what today is an ideal, but in truth is nothing but the ordered, happy life intended by a glorious, Heavenly Father for His beloved children. 19 Glafu Wi!!

Henry E. Manning, Jr. Witnesses: A. John Coon, Esquire. Luke MacClooke, 4th Churchill Downes, Jr. 21 u --W ll SHIRLEY M. McNABB Eighteen has always been a significant age. It marks the end of adolescence and the beginning of maturity. lt is the time when the graduate leaves the high school for the untried world of industry, business, or higher education. Today it is the age at which our government is inducting young men into the armed services. We shall try to show you this afternoon the attitude and outlook of these young people of today compared with those of the boys and girls of yesterday' and of tomorrow. Today is June 21, 1944. Five years ago in this same auditorium another class was carrying on commencement exercises. At that time conditions here in America were brighter than they are today. Yet in other portions of the world, in 1939, vari- ous events were taking place which were to have a profound effect on the future of that class, of all of us. ln Germany, an obscure person, one Adolf Hitler, had in- stilled in the German people the belief that they were a superior race and that it was their destiny to rule the world. ln his insane planning, the entire resources of the nation had been regimented, and boys who had not even reached their 'teens were being drilled vigorously for military service. Then, to the amazement of the entire world, this dictator abrogated the terms of the Versailles Treaty by marching his troops into the Rhineland, later invading Austria and Czechoslovakia. To the west of our country in 1939, conditions resulting from Japanese aggression were equally warlike. For two years the valiant Chinese had been fighting against great odds. They had resisted Japanese invasion by laboriously moving their industries and car- rying their civilization over thousands of miles into the interior, while the rest of the world paid all too little heed. Here, in America, war was not troubling us. In fact, the United States was at the beginning of a financial boom. Earlier the depression had dampened youth's propects of success, but in 1939 young folks were entering a world where employ- ment could be readily obtained and advancement was all but certain. It is true that some of this prosperity was due to contracts for supplies for foreign countries, such as England, who were hastily preparing themselves in case war in Europe should 22 occur. As a result, those in the class of 1939 desiring immediate employment were able to obtain it. Others were planning college courses. Many of the boys aspired to professional careers, such as law and medicine, both requiring long preparation. Barring some unforeseen contingency, they had all hope of seeing their dreams ful- filled. Some of the girls were preparing for marriage, others for business, still others were planning college courses and anticipating the good times which are part and parcel of college life. They looked forward to living in dormitories, joining sororities, taking part in sports, and engaging in other activities, after which they intended to settle down to a normal life . The average graduate of 1939 was a more or less regular church attendant. Yet we must admit that his attitude toward religion was rather smug and complacent. He acknowledged a Supreme Being, the Creator and Ruler of all mankind, to Whom he could turn in time of need. Yet living such a sheltered existence, he never seemed to find it necessary to turn for this help. Today the boy in the foxhole and the girl in the army hospital have learned from actual experience that 6 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. Down through the years, we have heard that race and class prejudice have no part in the American way of life. The Classical graduate of 1939 accepted this theory and felt that he was most liberal in his attitudes, yet I think it safe to say that, underlying this air of tolerance, prejudices existed without his knowing it. The partial removal of these barriers has been one result of this present war. Men of all colors, races, and creeds, who have suffered together the privations and tortures of warfare, have come to know that when the bullets and shrapnel are flying, one life is of no more value than another, and that wealth and station are of no account when establishing a beachhead under enemy bombardment. ln the daily newspapers and on the radio programs of 1939, youth heard various items which might have been alarming had they been heeded. For example, it was announced at various times that Japanese fishing boats were observed following move- ments of the American fleet in Pacific waters. Surely a person thinking about this and similar occurrences would be greatly disturbed. But youth did not seem to think or care about happenings in remote parts of the world. They were interested only in such things as directly affected them and their family and friends. Certainly the graduate of 1939 was living in an atmosphere of security. Al- though there was war forty-seven hundred miles from our western shores and rumors of war three thousand miles from our eastern coast, regardless of what happened, America was safe, isolated from possible aggression, she could easily maintain her strict neutrality. With this attractive setting, is it any wonder that our graduates of five years ago gazed confidently at the new horizons of opportunity? Surely their outlook was most attractive and their future well assured. 23 N - --70JGqll GEORGE L. PHILIP We who arc eighteen often find it difficult to reveal our thoughts and feelings, even lo those whom we love and who love us. Because l am eighteen, perhaps it will interest you - especially those of you who may have sons - to have me speak for boys of my age and try to show you what is in their minds and hearts to-day. ln doing so, l shall consider two questions: how has the war affected the youth? and what is he thinking? Since the time of the tragedy at Pearl Harbor, the tempo of life has increased tremendously. The worker, the business man, the professional man, the student - all have experienced the change in living conditions. During peace-time. the laborer averaged eight hours dailyg today he may work ten to twelve. The businessman and the doctor also toil many hours overtime. ln every walk of life people have felt the strain of war. The high school boy is no exception to the rule: he has been af- fected as much as anyone else. He has lost, and for the duration will continue to lose, valuable features of his education. He has to study hard to keep abreast of the accelerated program. Naturally the increase in the speed of living has created much uncertainty, con- fusion, and worry. The mind has been slow to grasp the meaning of the unheaval caused by war. Many have tried to continue living as usual but have found that impossible. Most students not only attend school, but also work. They are con- tinually on the moveg they have no time to sit down and clarify their thoughts 011 the world situation and its effect on them. They are literally swept off their feet by the rapidly flowing stream of events. The young man of to-day, whose situation l have tried to sketch roughly, offers an interesting and illuminating contrast to the young man of yesterday. The former is much more realistic: he spends more time on study and less on sportsg he has a better grasp of geography. ln general, I think the war has had a maturing influence on him. He is more thoughtful. more serious, than formerly. He hears from friends in service what war is really like. Where he was once indifferent to war or thought 24- it glorious, he now hates it, not because he has seen action, but because he has re- ceived battlefront reports in the form of letters, through the medium of radio, from newspapers and magazines and the talk of those who have experienced it. Under such stimuli, how can he fail to react against it? He goes to war because he feels it his duty to do so, not because there is anything glamorous in war itself. We see, then, that this world conHict has not only altered him but has in many ways altered him for the better. The changes brought about by the war have been good in another way: they have opened up many opportunities for those who desire to improve themselves. War today is waged as much by the mind as by the body. The side which has the preponderance of well-trained men, plus equipment, will wing and a well-trained man is one whose body and mind, both in good condition, work in perfect coordina- tion. Accordingly, the military authorities have found it necessary to send promis- ing youths to the colleges and universities of the nation to train them for leadership in the various branches of service. The Navy probably has taken over the colleges to a greater extent than has any other single branch. For example, at Worcester Polytechnic Institute there are more Navy students than civilians. Both groups re- ceive practically the same technical training, the only difference being that the civ- ilians pay for their education, while the Navy men are paid for theirs. Now that we have considered in some detail the effect of the war on youth, let us take a glimpse into the mind of the average boy of eighteen. What is he thinking? His thoughts might run somewhat as follows: I am about to graduate from high school. There are not many bright prospects open to me. I can join the Navy or the Marines or the Air Corps, provided I am qualified, or I can work until I am drafted. How I wish I could qualify for the V-12 so I might go to college! But from what I hear, it is not so easy to qualify as one would suppose. I shall have to pass high on the scholastic examination. I must also do well on the physical test. Then I have to be interviewed by an oflicer who determines whether I am a normal creature. Phew! No, I fear going to college that way is out of the question. How about work? Would that suit me until I am drafted? - Work! - After leading four happy-go-lucky, leisurely years in high school! lBy the way, they are less leisurely at Classical than one might think.l But seriously, now, just where am I going? I do not know a single trade. What good has high school done me? Per- haps I should have been better off at Trade School. Oh well, that is water over the dam now, and, after all, my high school education may still do me some good. One friend of mine who graduated last year is now working at Wyman and Cordon as a machinist. He tells me that, although he had no technical training in high school, the ability to study which he acquired more than compensates for the lack of specific preparation. He says that hecause of his high school course he learned how to operate lathes, planers, and milling machines much more easily and quickly. But where is all this getting me? I am no nearer a solution of my dilemma than be- foref, The picture I have just painted is that of the ordinary graduate. There are many who are not ordinary, who wish to advance in the world, and the war, rather than acting as a deterrent to their efforts, may give them a chance to show their true mettle. It is only in an emergency that the strong become known. There are graduates who are not here to-day, because they are either fighting the enemy or training to fight him. These boys who are now playing the roles of men merit all the honor we can give them. It is no wonder that Selective Service has modified its policy so that young men are being called to the colors first. They are the backbone of our military, naval, and air might. They stand between the enemy and us, and, we may be sure, in due time they will bring that enemy to his knees. When these same boys who are taking such an important part in the war return to take their places in civilian life, they will have learned at first hand the meaning of war, the value of peace. Let us hope that they will use their influence in years to come to outlaw war forever. 25 it ighiew--70JGqff DOROTHY M. TILLSON Although the eighteen year old girl has not been so directly affected by the second Wcmrld War as her brother, she has her own problems. She must readjust her daily program in order to keep pace with the altered tempo of war-time living, she must seek useful ways of helping in her community, and she must plan wisely for her future. Because time well spent is a vital factor in the winning of any war, our girl has had to modify some of her peace time social engagements, tlargely because of the absence of young men, now in the servicel, and she has had to find worth-while ways of spending her leisure. ln addition to this curtailing of some of her social activities, she has changed her luxury spending to new saving methods, chiefly by the purchase of war stamps and bonds through her school or some other agency. Even with the demands of an accelerated school program, she has responded patriotically to the call of the Junior Red Cross for nurses' aides. ln our local hos- pitals these aides try to make up for the shortage of help and release nurses badly needed for more important duty both here and abroad. This type of work, as well as other courses like home nursing, food and nutrition, first aid, knitting for the servicemen and relief organizations, are not only invaluable now, but are bound to be of service after peace is won. Since soldiers and sailors who are away from home are eager to meet and to talk with girls of their own age, the U.S.O. has asked high school girls to volunteer as hostesses at the dances, parties, and service centers in our city. Perhaps nothing contributes more to the morale of these boys than such natural, friendly contacts. But this war is having a still more far-reaching effect upon the girl of America. She is thinking more seriously and planning more carefully as to her future. In the first place, in answer to the great demand for workers in our many war indus- tries, the girl just leaving high school has been encouraged to accept well-paid posi- tions, sometimes at the risk of deferring the opportunity for a higher education. Then, too, though she has previously left the selection of a college more or less to 26 the judgment of her parents, today the girl herself realizes the vital need of a wise choice of school and course of study because of the importance of good training in a post-war world. ln the selection of her college, the eighteen-year-old, considering the ultimate as well as immediate results, finds that the war has brought her several unusual op- portunities. ln medicine, the discovery and use of blood plasma, the sulfa drugs, and penicillin, in applied science, the progress in plastics and television, in occupa- tional therapy, so important in the rehabilitation of wounded and crippled veterans, - in all these fields, the girl with a college education will bekwell-equipped to take a place. The choice of a school in which she can obtain preparation for such prac- tical work may be, however, affected to some degree by the war. Sometimes the absence of a member of her family, particularly a father or a brother in the service, makes her first choice unfeasible or impossible. The fact of numbers of servicemen and women in many of our colleges today requires adjustment to their presence and to the accelerated program that they have adopted. As is likely to be true in any war-time, we can observe, even in our own city, a noticeable let down in standards and moral codes among some girls of today. One evil effect of this attitude is the steadily increasing and alarming number of be- havior problems, indicating a situation so serious that it has finally forced itself upon our attention. Because of a certain sense of loss and inner hurt and a resulting emotional confusion, in some cases girls are entering into hasty and ill-advised mar- riage. But it is not emotional upset alone that causes delinquency among our youth. Such factors as inadequate earlier home training, present lack of restraint and super- vision by parents who are working or are away from home, and bad examples set by their friends - all these influence unthinking girls to foolish, harmful acts or even to crime. More than one city has faced and is trying to solve this problem, many with considerable success, but face it and solve it we must, and wisely, if we hope to avoid disastrous social conditions later. When almost every day school-mates of the eighteen year old girl are being inducted into some branch of the service and members of her family are leaving their homes, homes to which many of them may never return, she often feels a deep- ening need for Divine guidance and a stronger faith in God. She shows this changed attitude in her daily actions and in her closer relationship with her church and its work. She senses, as never before, what the church can do for her and for her friends. This deepening and renewal of her religious faith is the final expression of the ideals of the average earnest girl of to-day. ln it are summed up her honest desire to help, her sense of greater responsibility for her future, her real effort to fulfill her obligations to herself, her city, and her nation. 27 u - --7 ll RICHARD H. HARRIS The question that we are all asking in one form or another is, What effect will the war of to-day have upon us of to-morrow? Perhaps we of the class of 1944 would change it to What may we expect in that new world of the future? It is true that almost daily we learn of some new development which is bound to have a profound influence on our physical world after the war. Amazing advances have been made in many scientific fields, but these are only parts of a whole, in which the changes of minds and methods are by far the most important. Without pretense to prophecy, through mere observation of certain trends now evident and new ideas already in action, one can obtain a fairly clear picture of what kind of world the eighteen-year-old of tomorrow will have. lt seems inevitable that he will be a more healthy individual than his brothers of today and of yesterday. The great strides in medicine will go a long way toward eliminating many types of sickness. But even more important is the lesson that physical fitness is absolutely necessary to the proper functioning of mind and body. This fact, so clearly demonstrated to us the past few years, will not be soon forgotteng and if indifference never again is allowed to develop, succeeding generations are bound to benefit. A Of marked significance too, may be the new methods of education developed to satisfy the Armyls need of trained men. It seems very likely that, with modifica- tions, such methods will be adopted by peacetime teaching and will make it possible for students to gain more knowledge and still have time for other pursuits. Many educators are expecting more flexible courses better designed to meet individual needs than in the past. Plans are being made also for courses which will devote more study to the position and importance of human beings in history, especially inter- national relationships. Such study is intended to prepare young people for the world they must face. Perhaps we shall see more emphasis on training that will fit one for a career in diplomacy. Certainly such courses are desirable, and until recently have been all too seldom used. 28 Another lesson of the war is that the aggressiveness of youth and the conservatism and experience of age are compatible and beneficial as partners in any organization. One is forever hearing that this is a young man,s warg yet the average age of the great leaders is well over fifty. Many older business men now promote their juniors as fast as possible and so ease their own burdens. Promotion for younger men and a lessening of the load of older men is certainly an intelligent arrangement all around. - Closely related is the next point. that of having more opportunities to make a living. lndustry in its present condition is of a size to support the nation. lf allowed to retool to peace-time production, will it not provide enough work to insure national prosperity? Perhaps never again shall we see college graduates pumping gasoline as in the early thirties. Perhaps it is being too idealistic, but we can hope that the contacts of war which tend to lessen consciousness of social extremes will so strongly impress service- men with the folly of our racial and religious intolerance that they will be able to overcome the shameful prejudices all too common at home. What a burden would be lifted if war should solve this. problem by acquainting the many peoples of the world with each other and permitting fair judgment among them! Another probable result of this conflict will be a more sincere expression of religious beliefs. The stress of battle has cleared many minds. It is unlikely that the thousands of chaplains who have seen humanity at its worst and at its amazing best will ever lend themselves to the petty bickering too often prevalent before the war. Many, perhaps a majority, of servicemen are learning a great deal about the good that is common to all religious faiths. What a contribution would be made to one of the foundations of humanity if broader understanding could be induced among religious beliefs! Some or all of these possibilities may be merely wishful thinking, but we hope not. Although at heart the eighteen-year-old of tomorrow will not be vastly different from his predecessors, it seems likely that he will be able to lead a vastly different life. ,In these four essays we have tried to give you the situation of the eighteen year old yesterday, today, and tomorrow. This age is one of much bewilderment and of seemingly unanswerable questions, but we are thinking, and we have our own hopes for the future. It is with conviction that we say that we feel we can be trusted to make ourselves worthy of that brave new world -- of to-morrow. 29 Seniaag-S BOY Richard Harris Rolf Meyersohn Frank Kronoff William Sweeney Paul M.

This year, under the direction of Mr. Erickson, the faculty adviser, the Student Council has supervised all problems relating to the business and social life of Classical. Tuesday, war stamp dayu was not just a reminder of the weekly war stamp sales to the members of the Student Councilg it meant the selling of stamps, the keeping of records, and the supplying of students with stamp books. ln addition to the sale of war stamps as their war-time task, the Student Councillors sent out greet- ing cards to the service men of Classical to let them know that we were thinking of them and that we appreciated what they were doing for us. When the Red Cross sent out its appeal for money and enrollments from the schools, the Student Coun- cillors collected hundreds of pennies, making the Classical subscriptions one hun- dred percent. Early in September, the Councillors collected money for the Argus', subscrip- tions. As usual the members of the Council were on hand Parents, Night to usher the visitors to the various teachers' rooms. To add a little pleasure to their assembly, the Councillors held a dance in January at the Boys, Club. The ollicers for the fall were Frank Kronoff, President: ,lane Timon, Vice-Presidentg Bradford Ames, Treasurerg Anne Lavigne, Secretary. In the spring, the oliicers were Richard Harris, Presidentg jane Timon, Vice-Presidentg Jeffrey O'Connell, Treasurerg Anne LaVigne, Secretary. 54 he Qaeen Room Glad Stopl Donlt turn that dial. said the radio announcer. HWTAG presents members of the Green Room Club of Classical High School in LThe Thin Girli, star- ring Nancy Nore as Mrs. French, Cecile Hurwitz as Alice French, Aldona Yablonski as ,lane Keets, and Bernard Arnold as Dr. Richard Ashley. This is the first of two plays which this club is to broadcast over this station. The second is entitled 'The Sheep,s Clothing' starring Bernard Arnold, Raymond Caefer, Jeffrey O'Connell, Con- stantine Haidas, Jacqueline Henry, and lVIarvin Resnickfl These plays were given as part of a program participated in by the dramatic clubs of the high schools of the city in an effort to promote the welfare of the general public by making them health conscious. The aim of the Green Room Club has always been to bring together those stu- dents who were dramatically talented and who had the common desire to learn about plays and the ability to enact them. llnder the able direction of Mr. Martin Post, faculty adviser, plays have been read and acted. Occasionally when opportunity has permitted, one has been presented for the entertainment of the student body at Assembly. The dramatic presentations of the club have been unavoidably curtailed this year. Various channels of war etlorts have prevented the members from giving as many afternoons as formerly to its support. The Club Officers elected at the first autumn meeting were Preisdent, jeffrey U'Connell, Vice-President, Carolyn Knightg Secretary, Ramona Richardsg Treasurer, William Sweeney. 55 '7!ze Hagan Un tlu- lvirllulzn 4-ulw ol' tlu- .flrgzzs this your tiwnty-fiw vanullvs lvuriuul witl1 at lrrlggllt glow.

Election of officers was capably conducted by Mary Kuizinas, who had been named preficlcnt for the ensuing year at the May, 1943 meet- ing. Returns revealed Barbara Todd to be vice-president, lna Cohen, secretary, and ,loan Loftus, treasurer. Aldona Yablonski became keeper of the money after joanas February graduation. Our programs this year were devoted to discussions concern- ing one of our principal allies, Russia. Program chairmen and their topics were as follows: October, 'LRussia's Historical Backgroundf' Alclona Yablonski, chairman: November, Village Life and Customs, ,lean Soulliere, chairmang December, L'Rus- sian Leadersf, Eunice Brunell, chairmang January, Russian Classical Music, Betty Moran, chairmang February, Contemporary Russian Musicf' Helen Johnson, chair- nuing March, Russian Art and Literature, Nancy Nore. chairmang and April, Russia's Part in the War liflort, Communism, and Religionf' Frances Nye, chairman. On the more social side, a bowling party, attended by both Miss Williams, fac- ulty adviser. and Miss Smith, Classicals Art instructor. was held on December lb. On two occasions, the group enjoyed a bumpy afternoon of roller-skating. In May, an enjoyable picnic conducted under the chairmanship of Madeleine Arvisais ended activities for the year. 57 P Glad The nlenlbers of the Pythagorean Clulm well understand and appreciate the value of nunihers in eivilization. The motto of the eluh, A figure and a step forward: not a figure and a florinf' is a perfect illustration of the purposes and ideals of these budding lllillhPlll2'lllt'illllS. It eertainly inust have heen gratifying for Mr. Couining, the ahle faeulty adviser, to observe how liravely and dauntlessly the mein- hers of the eluh attaeked eoniplieated problems. During the past School term, the elub covered inueh inatheniatieal territory. The members have obtained knowledge dealing not only with pure mathematics, but also with related historical and geographical matters as well. The sulwjeets ineluded in the monthly rofframs ranved from aeousties to eeonornie Zoology Some of the . P z- c- e speeihe topics, along with entertaining games and various puzzles, delivered hy the nienihers were lVIagie Squares, Matheinaties, A World Culturef, Roman Nl1lllf'I'illS.,v and nlVlClll16Il1i1lit'S in Archaeology.

JI. S. 225. 14. The C. H. S. D. A. is now iII its twenty-fifth year. Handicapped as it is with a greatly reduced membership, the club nevertheless continues to function. Because of obvious war-time restrictions, the organization cannot celebrate its silver jubilee as was hoped. The semi-monthly programs of the past school year have been very interesting. Since we are living in a period when history is actually being made, the members of the debating club have had a great amount of material for discussion. Debates were held on such significant national and international subjects as the freedom of the press, the League of Nations, execution of war criminals, the Wforld Court, labor relations, an international police force and the Atlantic Charter. On Wednesday, May 10, l944, a hall debate, Resolved: That the United States should cooperate in reconstituting a new League of Nations after the war, was held before the general school assembly. The judges were Philip H. Breen, George H. Mason, and the Assistant Superintendent of schools, Fred J. Brennan. All are Classical alumni. Kenneth Slovin and jeffrey 0'Connell upheld the aliirmativeg whereas Seymour Weinstein and William Sweeney presented the negative argument. Maurice Kelliher and Thomas Thomas were alternates respectively. The affirmative side was victorious with J. 0'Connell receiving the prize of tive dollars as best speaker.

Both audiences were sulliciently pleased to spread the fame of Classical High. The Orchestra also accom- panied the Mixed Chorus in the Christmas Program for the Rotary Club. Under the artful baton of Mr. Albert W. Wassell the Orchestra performed at the Concert the vivid lf l Were King by Adam and the delightful medley arranged by Grossman. entitled HAlllE'l'lt'2Ul l antasia . The Class Day program was, according to ritual, directed lay the Class Day conductor. The peak of the season for all the musical groups was the joint concert in the Worcester Nlunicipal Auditorium. Gradu- ation exercises completed a fully successful and pleasant year for all. Rosamond Rollins's crystal-clear trumpet notes will he a reminder of the hest that Classical could offer. 60 Bam! Our Classical High School Band has played so steady a crescendo to success that today it is the most highly recognized of school instrumental groups in the city. For the first time the Band's yearly debut on the football field was made by daylight. And so. at the half. for the first time, all eager eyes could easily delineate each movement of our agile twirlerettes. The football season started the ball rolling toward an interesting year of activity. The Band played and marched Armistice Day in Tatnuck and played there again in honor of the dedication of the Tatnuck War Memorial. Sousa's march 'BEl Capitanm. and two novelty numbers entitled 'tAt the Circus . narrated by Alan Clazcr. and Bennettis 'gllnited Nations, Rhapsodyu, narrated by Harriet Brooks. were the Bands contributions to the concert. Celebrating Meniorial Day. the Band performed in Auburn. The school was awarded relaxation from their diligent studying during numerous fourth periods when the Band played entertaining selections from their expanding repertoire. For the benefit of the Fourth Vifar Loan, the musical groups of the Worcester High Schools sponsored a joint concert in the Municipal Auditorium in April. Classical High's Band, as well as Orchestra and Clee Clubs, offered the largest num- ber of representatives. 01 qw wee cw Approximately one hundred perscvering girls survived Mr. VVassell's discrimin- ating tryouts in September IUL3, and during the year have been expertly molded into an excellent female chorus. At the Annual Concert in February, the Girls Glee Club gave a faultless rendition of Loganis beautiful Mljale Moon . Their second selection was a composite of two Brahmis waltzes. The Glee Club, with all other secondary school organizations in the city. joined forces for the April Concert for the benefit of the Fourth War Bond Drive at the VVorr-ester lVlunicipal Auditorium. Memorable voices of the year have been those of Ruth Hupkus, Symme Hurstein, and Helen Trainor. Mad Ghana Enhanced by striking blue and white robes, Mixed Chorus performances were invariably superb in both selection and execution. And well they should be, for the Chorus is a select group ol the most outstanding vocal talent of the school. The group being collectively versatile and pliable, however. remarkable ad- vancement has been made under the excellent direction of Mr. Vvassell, as was dis- played at the annual concert. The well known Think of Mew, by Scott, was their only. but most delightful offering. The Mixed Chorus sang a Christmas Cantata by Kountz, entitled L'The Wondrous Storyv at the yearly Christmas assembly, and gave a repeat performance at a meeting of the WfJfl'CSlC1' Rotary Club. 62 ew Qlee em Hale and hearty were our boys this year. So hale and hearty, in fact, that in a novel Service Song Medleyn performed at the concert, three brave lads rendered solos: Bishop Covell, Alan Haberman, William Larrabee. The second and last public appearance of the year was at a well appreciated Freshman and Sophomore assembly. CLASS SONG On the threshold of the future, Alma mater, now we standg Thrilled with hope, but pained to leave thee, Forward marching hand in hand. Truth and honor you have taught us, Which we'll cherish evermoreg These will be the guiding spirits Of the class of forty-four. Hear thou this our parting message, Hearts sincere now sing to thee, Though today we only follow, Future leaders we may be. So one toast our class now brings thee, Alma mater, as it parts, May thy memories sweet and tender Always linger in our hearts. RUTH RAPHAEL '44 63 vfvt 744 64914 Glad Among cries of Nu kibitzing .

Coach Frank Brennan then had to revamp his lineup and rely on untried material. Despite these obstacles the team compiled a record of 3 victories, 2 ties and 3 defeats. The high point of the Tigers' season was their victory over the High School of Commerce. Led by the brilliant play of Co-Captain Frank Kronoil. Classical steam- rollered to a 2l-0 triumph over its traditional rival. Kronoff scored twice, first on a line plunge from the seven-yard line in the second period and again on a blocked kick in the third quarter. Dick lVloylan racked up the last L'T.D.,' on a line buck from the one-yard stripe late in the game. Although Classical missed the title, individual honors of the season went to its Co-Captain. Frank Kronoff. His play was excellent, first at center and later at full- back. Because of his record he was named the outstanding schoolboy gridder of the l9f1-3 campaign.

Five victories against seven defeats were 5-4 tacked up by the Tigers. This record netted them third place in i the lnter-High race and seventh in the city. Led by Ed Tino Tinsley, sharp-shooting forward, Classical came through with some surprising wins, as this campaign basket- eers weren't given an outside chance to win a single game at the seasonls beginning. They first knocked over a touted North High quintet 31-29 Oll a Tinsley basket in the last twenty seconds. The following week Ed provided Classical with another thrilling triumph by scoring a Hoor pop late in the game to gain a 20-241 verdict over St. Peter's. This wafer-edge victory habit came to a smashing climax when Classical cashed in a 25-244 victory over St. ,Iohn's. Again it was Tinsley who led the Tiger attack, this time copping l7 points for individual scoring honors, After that Classical couldn't ride on the victory wagon, but every contest proved to be a hair-raiser.

Classicalls indoor track team literally ran rough- shod over the opposition in annexing its Hrst title in l3 years.

The champs took little time in showing their power as they cake-walked to an easy 50 lfll- to 20 3f4- victory over Commerce. They then downed South 58-13, and garnered the dual meet title by walloping North 57-20. Classical placed men in every event in the meets, and, although no records were broken, showed them- selves to be one of the strongest track teams to burn up the boards in the past decade. Jack Cantwell's swifties and muscle men proved themselves worthy of advance notices as they ran away with the Inter-High track and field meet. Harvey Howell, medium sized with plenty of chest and stamina, was the big point winner of the meet totalling 14 points for a near record performance. In the field events Frank Kronotf led the way with some classy shot putting, while Lon Sisson and Sumner Scherer displayed plenty of skill in the high jump.

X and therefore took over the Edward A. Bates trophy first won by Classical in 1942. Classical placed second in the Inter-High D standings, however, winning two of the three tilts. E In the first game, a hastily formed Tiger sextet went out on sudden notice due to unpredicted weather conditions. A hectic game with North saw the Polar Bears downing a spirited Classical array 6-0. Despite the setback Classical showed promise of developing into a strong title contender. This promise was lived up to as the Tigers swept to a 2-0 victory over Com- merce. Co-Captain Bill Hair and Howard Feinberg, playing their last game as they were leaving for the Army Air Corps before the next tilt, turned in sparkling per- formances. Hair spiked a goal early in the first period while Feinberg wound up the scoring with a classy solo dash and angle shot for the second tally midway in the final heat. Breathing hot on the neck of the league leading North team, Classical bowled over South 3-2 in a rough game. The action was fast and furious with ,lim Redican and Don Hoaglund, sensational wings, leading the way to the triumph. North, how- ever, took the measure of Commerce to squeeze by Classical for the crown. Jim Redican and Co-Captain Frank Kronolf were named on the All lnter-High hockey team selected by Edward A. Bates, nationally known local skater and bene- factor of the championship trophy. Hair, Feinberg and Lawrence Harney gained honorable mention on the array.

As an individual club, many discussions were held ranging in content from personal problems to international affairs. A debt of gratitude is owed Stephan Hall, the adult adviser, for directing these discussions and thus making it possible for many conclusions to be reached. Mr. Rice, of Classical High, talked to the club on a thought-provoking subject, How to Use Fun. As a member of the Hi-Y Federation along with North and South clubs, Classical Hi-Y participated in some fine evenings which included a talk on The Philosophy of Germanyw by Dean Hobby of Worcester Junior College, an illustrated lecture by Rev. Robert L. Dutton on Conditions in Mexicon, and an address by Frank B. Lenz of the International Y.M.C.A. Committee on What Latin Americans Think of Us. Rev. Richard G. Preston spoke on The Spirit of Christmasu, and Francis Riley gave a vivid impression of the Experiences of a Soldier on Guadalcanal. When the Federation took the Time Magazine Current Events Quiz, Classical Hi-Y gained an admirable record, and included the winner in its ranks. The club sent several delegates to the Two-State Older Boys, Conference. These boys returned inspired by the excellent array of speakers, and bubbling over with incidents about a week- end in Lynn. The two Federation dances proved quite successful and on the whole Wednesday evenings were well spent. 73 ada add .Jlwkeq A savrvd tradition of our srhool was broken this year when the- tield hom-kvy team failed to hring hom? the vhanipionship.

Ann Carbutt, who has been a team member for three years and who has reached the finals of the school tournament three times, defeated Rozie Rollins 6-4-, 6-3, for the championship. The finals were played in extremely sportsmanlike manner and with remarkable ability. After this warmup, the Classical girls easily conquered the South lassies 5-0 in the first game. Ann Garbutt and Rozie Rollins, the two veterans, won their matches with ease. while the newcomers, Hannah Pemstein, Ellen Horgan, and Harriet Zellen, decisively trounced their opponents.

The group consisted mainly of lower-class men who met twice a month to spend a pleasant afternoon admiring, examining, praising, and exchanging stamps. Under the supervision of our finest philatelist -- noster magister et amicus - Mr. McKinley, many interesting talks and discussions about stamps took place. Most of these talks were given by members on their collections. On one occasion Althea Weinstein spoke about first-flights and first-day issues, at another time the president, Ernest Stebbins, discussed watermarks and papermak- ing. Due to the small enrollment in the club, there were no outside speakers. Though the club has had a hard struggle to obtain new members, through the efforts of Mr. McKinley, this club which was suspended for several years due to the war, has again re-established itself and is looking forward to a better organization next year.

Holding meetings on alternate Wednesdays, the Club had as one of its projects the study of developing pictures at home. At one meeting Mr. Warner explained and demonstrated film developing and dark room technique. In continuing their study of this fascinating phase of photography, members were privileged to tour the J. Carroll Brown studios on January fifth. Three weeks later Club members visited the Telegram and Gazette building, where they watched the developing of news pictures. A highlight of the season was the photography contest in the fall for club mem- bers. Each member submitted not more than three pictures, and the judges appointed were four faculty members: Mr. Barnard, Mr. Rice, Mr. Wetmore, and Mr. Warner. From the many entries the judges awarded first prize to Richard Karazia, second prize to Ernest Comiskey, and third prize to Allan Glazer. The winning photographs were exhibited on the school bulletin board.

Our first letter today, reads, Dear Sirs: I have a sticking window in my living room which causes me no little concern. I have lost three maids who thought they had opened all the windows and then tried to shake a rug out the stuck one. I don't mind the broken glass but the maids do have a lot of blood. Please help me because I have no more room for bodies in my linen closet. Very truly yours, Mrs. Christine River. The solution as produced by the Arey's Amazing Aid department is as fol- lows: to a quart of oil add a cupful of water and a handful of sand. Then boil to remove the water and filter to remove the sand and pour the remainder around the window. Attach a rope to the window and to a light truck, about ten tons. Then throw things at the driver and something is bound to happen. In case the side of the house still sticks to the window and follows the truck, we have a very fine apart- ment near Jan's Waterfront on the Pleasant.

It is with these that I'm concerned for they are making 80 my house rather crowded. For instance, I have a Texas cactus that so fills my parlor that it has been impossible to clean the room for five years. The parlor looks like a desert, and a short while ago my nephew was lost in it for three days and was bitten by a rattlesnake. My worst problem, however, concerns a Mexican Matador vine that has spread from the cellar to the attic and is turning many of my rooms into a jungle. Please hurry because I dread the thought of a Mexican Matador in my boudoir. Truly yours, Mrs. Jane Vlfheatenafl We are very much embarrassed to say that we are unable to reach a satisfactory solution of your problem Mrs. Wheatena. We even consulted Mr. Weed of the 'gBest to See Weed,', Weed Killer Company but he could not help us. We do suggest, nevertheless, that you see the latest Jack Tracy cowboy picture or one of the Clark Young Tarzan pictures and get some ideas so that you may become acclimated to the conditions we feel you must bear. Our last letter today, ladies, is addressed to the Hearn's Helpful Household Hints Department, and, presents a grave problem that has been carefully considered by the mystics who meet in Room 26. The letter reads and I quote, Dear Sirs: I run a boarding house and have twenty-three people using my bathtub every day. My problem concerns the ring they leave in the tub. I truly hope you can help me soon because it is fast developing into an embarrassing situation and Iill have you know I run a respectable boarding house. Sincerely yours, Mrs. Jackie Cofiinf' The answer, ladies and this is directed to any of you who may have the same trouble, is make a mixture of 4 eggs, just the shells, finely ground, and a quart of milk, including the bottle which should be minced. Place this in your bathtub and to it add 5 gallons of gasoline, 8 quarts of alcohol, and enough range oil to fill the tub. When your husband comes home, light his favorite pipe for him and tell him to wash for supper. Quickly take the Tatnuck trolley to Hamilton, and, if you have followed directions properly, you will never worry about that bathtub again. Per- haps if you were wise enough to insure the hubby, we could interest you in a new bathroom with a house around it. In any event we wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Husband. Now I must sign off but remember our slogan, Shake a Sapiro Shaker and be Soldf' Your announcer has been some more B. S., Bob Sands.

UA GUY NAMED JOE And, with that little note from Coghlin's, the place where good things come from, we once again bring you the Story Telling Hour. The title of today's tale is A Guy Named Joe, so now, on with the show. The air seemed to breathe with romance. A huge yellow moon and myriad 81 silvery stars glimmered in the Brodsky. John was reading the paper on the screened- in porch, but Johnson Joe was gazing intently heavenward. Finally the silence was broken. What's on your mind, Son? Youive been staring into space for a full half- hour. Well, Pop, he replied, l'm worried. Yesterday, I bought a little surprise for Mary Jane, but now l'm afraid to give it to her, because live learned that another liellow has been haunting her doorstep recently. And he Pulda Diamond out of is pocket. Dad, noting the Grady had bought gasped and said, Wh , Son! Thatls the most beautiful stone I've ever seen. It's still Early. You ouglit to go show it to her right now. Joe needed no further encouragement, and was immediately on his way. Dad, concerned Casey, in his hurry, might stumble into the nearby bog called after him, Watch out for the Meyersohnln Okay, replied the fleeting young swain. Nearing Mary ,lane's house, he spied his hale and Hardy rival, doing everything up Brown, Carroll-ing his lady love with a guitar. Thought he, The Cur -tis not he she loves. I'll show himln And so, this thought spurring him on, he soon forci- bly convinced his rival to leave. He was left alone with Mary Jane. He showed her the Ring. Oletz become en- gagedf, pleaded he. Are you certain it is only I you Caefer? asked she. Positive, Ma-honey, and I have been Todd to always speak the truth. But you cannot burn the Wick at both ends. Is it I or that - that - whom you choose? 'Tis you, 'tis you! murmured she. Happily the stars in the Brodsky twinkled, now even more brightly. Heading homeward, Joe was so excited that he did fall into the mire, and got a very Whitney. The neighbors had to dig him out with a Trow-el. But little cared he, for now he knew that Mary Jane was his. No longer must he Scherer affections with his rival. Mary Jane was likewise overcome with joy, so much so in fact, that her mother had to Tucker in bed countless times before she finally fell asleep. On a sunny day in June of that same year, the wedding March echoed through the chapel, and the two happily were united in marriage. And so ends our tale. But don't touch that dial, for Puldais Fish Market is about to present Dr. 0. U. Does it swim or does it flop? If so, we have it in our shop, Fresh and toothsome - never high, Puldals is the place to buy. Anything that swam the briny, Good and fresh and fat and shiny Papa Pulda will provide, Park the baby, come inside. Anything your heart desires From a shiner to a shark, If you'like it, tell your neighbor, Otherwise, please keep it dark. 82 DR. O. U. And now for your Dr. 0. U. quiz program, sponsored by Pulda's Fish Market. Here is your Dr. O. U.! Hello, everyone. We have four young people here from Worcester, Mass. to answer the questions to-day. First let's hear from a young lady. And here is your question. What is the eighth wonder of the world? S'Ah-er-um mf, I am sorry but your time is up. Audience? Old Classical High! L'Now for our second contestant. Your question, sir, is - What was the pass word of 194-KL? Mairzy Doatsf, That is absolutely correct young man. Here is one of Puldals pickled herrings for you. Of our next contestant we ask, What famous singer made famous what song? I think it is Helen Nyman who sang 'Gym Never Gives Me Pretty Muscles'.,, You thought right, young lady. Keep up your score. For our next young man we have a scientific question. What was the specimen of 744 that caused people to swoon and faint? I believe it was called 'Sinatritis' or something like that. wllhat is correct, sir. The disease affected women more than men. No resistance, I am told. About the same era, a great clean-up was started. Who prompted the action? Mrs Mary Carr Baker. Congratulations! Your answer is right, young lady. Will the next gentleman answer this question, please h- what was the greatest accomplishments of Classical High in 194-3 and '4A4?,' r 'The loss of every sports trophyf, 'LAnd, sir, here is the second part of your question - what caused so many trolley car riots in that year?,, People tried to put 'steel pennies in the slot instead of dimesfl There was a mystery in 1944 that has never been solved. Can any one of the contestants name it? All right young lady, you answer itf' In the Classical High assembly hall, there is a statue, and after a black-out, the statue was found with lipstick on its face. The mystery was who mistook who for whom or what! Give that young lady a fancy flounder from Pulda's Fish Market! And one more question before we sign off. What was the favorite food of 1944-? uRation tokens! Wllhat is correct, sir. To each of our contestants we give a sardine from Pulda's Market. Remember that when you go fishing and don't catch anything, stop at Pulda's on your way home and no one will ever know! And until next week, this is Dr. O. U. saying Good-bye and reminding you to keep tuned to this station for fifteen minutes of rest and relaxation with Restful Ramblings, a program of poems to suit your mood, sponsored by Robertson's Rest Home. Feeling low and all alone Send for Nursie Robertson! Take the pills and drink the potion, Catch a new and cheery notion. 83 Itchy skin or broken bone, Send for Nursie Robertson. She will put you in the pink Much faster than you'd ever think! Robertson, R. N., you see Has meant a lot to you and me. She seems to have a little trick In turning folks from well to sick. SPRINGTIME SOLILOQUY OF A SCHOOL-SKIPPER Outside the window, robins sing, I think at last that it is Spring, The snow is gone, the leaves are out, And little children skip about. Within our schoolroom all is still, Only squeaking chalk is shrill On students' faces there is gloomy Spring fever dominates the room. Oh, Spring, dear Spring, so full of joys That stir to love the hearts of boys, And prompt each girl to gaily sing Of all the fun that your days bring. Why do I stay here anyway On such a warm, inviting day? How can I rest within these walls, When Springtime's spirit sweetly calls? 'Tis not for me to linger here, As I have done throughout the year, And so I'll do a daring thing, I'll fly from school on willing wing. And Springtime, will you sympathize My dreadful offense minimize, When my reward I get once more My six P. M.'s in old Room Four. 84 SAID HE TO HER: I love you, oh, my darling For you I'll always pine, For you I comb my curly locks Each day my shoes I shine. lld even tear the fleecy clouds From out the summer sky. And if your dear heart wished it, I'd lay me down and die. But if you love me truly, My devotion would not lack, Take pity on me, sweetheart, And give my pencil back. SAID SHE 'IO HIM: I know you love me, darling, For me you always pine. I know you comb your curly locks And make your shoes to shine. And for your true devotion I'm grateful as can be. I'll tell you what I'm going to do, So harken unto me. When the eraserls all worn down And lead it soon will lack, Then Iill take pity on you, sweet, And give your pencil back. Statlon T I G E R slgns off with this thought for the day: If you dCC1dC that the time has come for you to kick the bucket, To pass away from this dismal earth forever and to die, Notify Miss Cook and Co before you turn out the socket - You re guaranteed to get to Heaven with a transcript from Classical High' 85 L. ,A O9 ADVERTISEMENTS CONGRATULATIONS TO EACH GRADUATE AND WITH OUR BEST WISHES FOR A SUCCESSFUL FUTURE Wright Machine Company WORCESTER, MASS.
