One may well ask What'5 in a name? What do these two words 'KRhode Island mean? A geographical subdivision of a great nation? The proper name of a small unimportant island in a small unimportant New England bay? An historical designation for a small group of emigrants in the great westward flow of civilization? Yes, all of these. And by the same token, something far greater, something more eternal. It was in Rhode Island, that tiny, comparatively insignificant political entity, that a most idealistic and passionately desired philosophy, the philosophy of spiritual freedom, blossomed into practical function. It was in Rhode Island that the leadership was established in the earliest development of the greatest American birthright, the right to be an individual, a spirit of individualism. It was Rhode Island men that brought forth a new spirit of progressivism, new because for the Hrst time it was based upon the principles of fearlessness, courage, confidence, and ingenuity. This then is the true and eternal Spirit of Rhode Island, which when defined is that a most flourishing civil state may best be created and maintained if full liberty of religious discernments and individual preferences is granted and progressivism is encouragedf' It is only fitting, during this year of Rhode Island's Tercentenary celebration, that this Spirit of Rhode Island should be brought to mind and its origin considered. Whence came The Spirit of Rhode Island ? The answer to this question is simple and conclusiveathe character and personality of Rhode Island's founders was the source from which emanated this spirit. And the continuance through the years of individuals cast in the molds of their forefathers has made it possible for it to continue to live. As Rhode Islandis premier founder, Roger Williams was the incorporater of this abstract quality. Was it not the fact that he demanded to be an individual and not a puppet that caused the town fathers to banish him from Salem during that cold winter of 1636? In setting out to conquer a new and wild country did he not symbolize that type of progressivism that relies for its success upon fearlessness, courage, confif dence and ingenuity? And above all, was it not his doctrine that political freedom and religious individuality were mutually exclusive that nearly cost him his life? All these are facts of history which reacted to cause the formation of a new state founded upon new principles. But not only did Roger Williams typify The Spirit of Rhode Islandf' William Blackstone, Samuel Gorton, William Coddington, and Anne I-Iutchinson were all cofpartners in the releasing of a great force which was destined to shape the fortunes of a great state in a great nation. Then whoj' it is asked, typifies 'The Spirit of Rhode Island' today? You do! You and you and you, if you are a traditional Rhode Islander, are the living embodiment of a great spirit,and as such you are commissioned to carry it to all parts of the world. The Class of 1936 chooses, therefore, as the theme for its publication The Spirit of Rhode Islandn because it realizes that this spirit has made our state what it is today. -..agf 2139..- THE QRANSTONIAIS CLASS OF 1936 Wx ext mx 5, D.

Fenner, who devoted his lifetime to the interests of youth. Mr. Fenner was graduated from Brown University with a Bachelor of Arts degree. Before coming to Cranston, he taught in the schools of Block Island and North Scituate, and served as headmaster of Hopedale High School in Massa achusetts. Mr. Fenner served as principal of Cranston High School for six years, after which time he was appointed Superintendent of Schools. His untimely death in Septemf ber, 1935, occurred five days after he was forced to resign because of ill health. When Mr. Fenner took over the reins of education in 1917 there were 5,122 pupils registered in the twenty-two schools of Cranston. At his death 9,863 students were enrolled in twenty-eight schools. Mr. Fenner by words and deeds was the incarnate exemf plification of that traditional Spirit of Rhode Island which is indelibly associated with leadership, progress, and indef pendence of thought. The faculty that he possessed to inculf cate that spirit upon those intrusted to his care has been of primary importance in elevating the standard which the schools of Cranston at present enjoy. -a5l5lS+- THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 ww w, Somew CLARENCE W.

For in another field of endeavor, education, Rhode Island is outstanding and has shone as a guiding star to her sister states. That tolerant, independent but progresf sive spirit has carried her to renown for her advanced educational facilities. A keen desire for educating their young was manifest by our earliest settlers. Land grants and money were appropriated by towns, and thus it occurred that Newport was the first town in all English America to foster a public school. Other factors contributing to the furtherance of education at this period were the newspapers which lauded our educational endeavors above all other states. The American and Gazette in 1828 took up the fight for free schools in earnest with the following state' ment, There is one subject of much more importance to Rhode Island than the election of a president, and that is the establishment of free schoolsf, Thus, our prefeminence was early recognized. However, it is not possible to construct from the early record of Rhode Island towns a complete and consistent history of schools in this state. To religious dissension, to the absence of an established church, to sparse and scattered settlements, to these and some other causes, this negligence in keeping written records has been attributed. All during this century the schools had been private in nature, the pupils paying for their tuition. The idea of free schools had been in the minds of prominent men for many years, but not until 1800 did they come into existence in Providence. But let us leave Providence for the while and turn to Narragansett for a glimpse of the typical pedagogues. Here, the first schoolmasters were three Irishmen, Masters Kelly, Ridge, and Stauter. They traveled about visiting the farms and communities around Point Judith and Tower Hill imparting instruction to the children, but para ticularly exerting their good influence on the rough manners and characters of the country folk. In contrast to these men appears the next schoolmaster. He was one who made no pretense to the polite attainments of his predecessors but believed in more rugged methods of teaching. This was Master Robert Noyes who kept school on Tower Hill Road. He believed in the rod and spared it not. After a few of his pupils discovered that his wooden rod might be split if they crossed two hairs on their open palm, Master Noyes made a new one of leather with a wooden handle. He enjoyed such sport so much that he used one of the older pupils as a spy to procure him victims. In 1828, an awakened statewide interest in schools brought about favorable results. Rhode Island inaugurated at this time a thorough survey of its school system. Once again that idea of ours to have the best, prevailed when Governor james Fenner selected Henry Barnard, without question the foremost American educator of the nineteenth century, to perfect our school system. The most important immediate effects of the work of Barnard were a splendid improvement in the physical condition of schools, a marked advance in the qualifications of teachers, and an awakening amongst the people of the state of a genuine interest in education. Thus it is apparent that improvement and expansion seem to have come gradually and steadily, in response to the demands of an enlightened public opinion, and in general, advances in educational law and practice have become permanently established in public confidence and support. For these reasons, therefore, our educational system is the product of our social and economic experience and a vital part of the civic organization of the state. HELEN M.

State College as their next stamping groundf' It is the stamping that we expect will cause the Kingstonites to leave home. Owl Our symathies are extended to Brown, Colgate, Harvard, and Yale, next in line in the balloting. Incidentally, it might be mentioned that when these Seniors who will become Freshmen again begin their way through the halls of learning, each will be carrying a copy of Esquire, the avowed preference of the class as regards reading matter, and the group will be singing its Class song, The Music Goes Down and Roundf, Quite a merry scene, don't you think? During their college years, the members of this Class of ,36 will, no doubt, develop new hobbies or continue to have an interest in their present ones. Imf mediately a problem is created. The College dietitians will be put to their tasks, for the hobby that attracts the greatest number of our friends is Eating. Too bad!Or is it? Other hobbies of the kids are dancing, swimming, and a special one for the boysekeeping up with women. When jean Harlow and Clark Gable appear in the motion picture, One Night With Monte, or any other presentation, these now famous graduates of Cranston High School will pack the galleries. Obviously, say you, the 'grads' must like these cinema stars. And right you are! In fact, they prefer not to say which one they favor more than the other. QNonfcommital, eh? Well, thatis just like that February gang.j The February class, after much deliberation, has decided to end this re- velation of its secrets by telling everyone that its favorite comic character is Popeye, the Sailor Man, he of the strong muskle g that 35 of their number C1135 have drivers, licenses CWe're relieved that the number isnit largerj, and that only 32 of them carry lucky pieces, the most common of these being tails and paws from unfortunate rabbits. And thereby hangs the tale! 3 5 tg... THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 32LI'llClI'y CD!ClSS nm4'Op!lQCy DUE to an unavoidable error in astronomical calculation the clock of time has suddenly skipped over a number of calendars and we find ourselves swallowed up by the future. Seeking to become accustomed to our new environf ment, we glance over a newspaper edited by Howard Wilson. One item tells of the arrival in New York of Delia Amaral and Virginia Anzevino, Spanish correspondents of the firm of johnson, johnson, johnson, johnson, and Mikolajewski, pioneers in the rubber toothpick industry. Among the more interesting advertisements are those of Miele and Buonnano, manufacturers of a hair restorerg and Ray Whittemore, instructor of ballet dancing. The society page mentions such social registrites as Lillian Fraser Milquetoast, Evelyn Thomas, Gladys Anderson and Beatrice McNerney. But what is this? The sporting page is bristling with details of the Olympic Games, held this year in Cranston, R. I. Unable to restrain ourselves, we make an impulf sive decision to go to Cranston and before we know it we are speeding for the airport in Elmer Mathewson's taxi. On the first plane out we surrender ourselves to the care of pilot Brad Kenyon. Despite the peculiar sensation of flying, we notice among our fellow passengers, Claire Hartland, reading Professor R. H. Searle's latest book, The Life of a Bachelor. The presence of our charming air hostesses, Eunice Law and Virginia Healy does much toward making our trip enjoyable. At the field we take time to admire an unusual billboard, the handiwork of james Centofante, being erected by Albert Ciccone. It is a picture of Evelyn Seibold posing for the PearlyfWhite Toothpaste Company. On the way to the stadium, really the Cranston Recreation Field disf guised with cement grandstands, we pass Lake Blackamore, where such skaters as Margaret Del Padre, Lillian Smithers, and john Rhodes have won their share of glory during the winter sports season. Arriving at the center of activities, our tickets are taken by the jovial Willard Terry who directs us for refreshments to the stand of Russell Birtf wistle and Sally Saillant. Highfpressure salesmanship on the part of Bill Cotton leaves us well stocked with peanuts and candied apples, in fact, we have only enough money to buy two balloons from Kenny Marsh and Ursula Enright, his assistant. Passing the medical tent, we see Dr. Louis Stringer surrounded by attract- ive nurses including Frances Miller, Ruth Schramm, Blanche Miller, and janet Nourse. In one corner, trainer john Hanley, amid a surplus of adhesive tape and liniment, prepares for action such athletes as john Erickson, Walter Morris, and Edward Di Panni. The members of joe Del Bonis' street cleaning department are keeping the field clear of debris, and Bill Haines is filling the water buckets for an emergency. At a signal from Bill Dean, serving in an executive capacity, the judges, Leonard Chatel, Rena Wagner, Ada Huxford, and Stephen Dore, take their places and Ed Metcalf opens the program with the band, featuring trumpeter Frances Ambrose. 36 tg..- THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 Immediately behind us we see Betty Bowen, librarian of the Edgewood Library, Marion Butler, designer, Adele Martin and Millie Wiberg, chorus girls of Broadway home for a visit, Dorothy Lindquist and Helen Reynolds, hairdressersg and Mary Saccoccio and Miriam Tateosian, country school teachers. To the left, the noted dietitians, Charlotte Rakatansky, Madeline Merrill, and Ursula Madden are seen. A special feature of the day is a bathing beauty contest. Those partici- pating are Roby Dwyer, Elsbeth Lovell, Irma McMahon, and Ella Foytho, sporting new models created by Rose Sullivan and Inez Mullen. In the broadcasting booth, Earl Sparks sends his poetic account of the news of the day to the far corners of the earth. The booming voice of Charlie Phelps announces the victory of Dick Besharian in the sprint, and reports Caroline Cheney's victory in the tennis matches. Lester de Frates, champion flag pole sitter, demonstrates his skill with considerable moral support from the admiring eyes of Dot Nuttall, Harriet Pearson, and Dot Plummer, candy vendors. We are now aware of the presence of Linnea Bockersis Sunday School Class and Mary Evans' 4fH group as they enjoy some of Hanson's delicious homefmade ice cream. A delayed report from Speck Pond tells us of the swimming triumphs of Eva Corelli, Helen Vierling, and Ruth Peterson, and no wonder, for the team is capably managed by Dorothy Mills and her assistant, Rita Casey. john De Luca, champion weight lifter, barely missed being struck by a stray javelin thrown by Marion Whitaker. lt seems that an unfortunate onlooker, Dorothy Sarkisian, was injured by a discus thrown by Leland Mayo, who, in his desire to maintain first place, hurled it far beyond the line. The meet being over, we proceed to the new City Hall for the presenta- tion of the medals. The entrance of Capt. Charles Reynolds with a detachf ment of Marines lends color to the affair. Across the street is the De Cesaris Savings Bank of which Mary Larkin and Emily Anthony are tellers. Among the notables present on the platform are Senators Budlong and Angell, Chief of Police, Stuart Tabor, School Committee members jean Gillis and Hazel Brakenwagen. Mayor Paliotto, who is presenting the awards, was recently entangled in a feud between his secretaries, Madeline Finnell and Evelyn Faulkner. The argument was finally settled by Vivienne Houle, secretary to Congressman Harold Potter. And so, the memory of another day is stored away for reminiscence in the future when the usual run of recollections is too tame. To those of you whose fortunes we have foretold, we wish to say that after scanning the pages of history, our conclusion is that anything can happen. Consequently, we have not bound ourselves strictly to logic and we trust in time to vindicate our judgment.

I. june 1936. U. The Reader just About Anywhere Dear You, Having recently graduated from Cranston High School after all these years, I now find time to write that letter which I owe you. My class being a very unusual one, I have decided to make it the subject of this epistle. To begin with, my classmates are great travelers. An illustration of this is the fact that the total number of states visited by the entire class is 1,308. Astounding! Well maybe it is, but itis the truth. In addition to this, it boasts two people who claim to have visited the entire forty-eight states. However, my pals haven't confined their travels to their homeland! They've been across the big pond as well as over the borders into Canada and Mexico. In addition to our continental neighbors, one person has also visited England, Ireland, and Scotland, a second boasts of a trip to Norway and Sweden, a third makes the assertion that he has set foot in China, Egypt, and even Ethiopia. Being a resident of Cranston you undoubtedly have an interest in its school system. My only interest in that subject concerns the schools which my classmates attended before entering Cranston High. I have found that 118 of them came from William A. Briggs School. But many in the class arrived after they were already in high school. They came to us from 14 different schools. Among these are Hope, Central, Classical, and Warwick. Brockton, Mass. sent two of our group and one came from Illinois. I believe that the members of the june group will be successful people, and, judging from their avowed ambitions for life ten years hence, I can see no reasons why they shouldn't be. Thirty of them want to be married when 1946 rolls around, while one woman- hater declares that he wishes to be a bachelor. Eighteen desire to have jobs and be successful Cdonit we all'?j, while thirteen have specified just what position they wishe that of a magazine illustrator. But when three boys say they have a yearning to be politicians, one actually aspiring to the presidency of the U. S., I think it's time to change the subject. This is good! I asked my pals to list the qualities they believed the ideal teacher should possess. just look at some of the answers they gave me: sense of humor, patience, determination, sympathy, self-control, Chmmlj beauty, consideration.

Sincerely yours, JUNE GRADUATE ...gf 89 Es.- rar QRANSTONIAN QLASS or l93g6 as Goncerns QMS and mascots xx IHEN it came time for the February and june classes of 1936 to decide what they wished to leave their Alma Mater in the form of class gifts, they assumed the mask of conventionality and presented to the school, gifts which were both useful and lasting. However, had these classes failed to honor precedent, had they departed from the usual procedure and presented gifts such as they themselves suggested in a recent questionnaire, it is doubtful if their generosity would have been appreciated. Considering first the February graduates, we find that this distinguished group of 113 souls was able to suggest 32 different Hgiftsf' Among their selections were found such items as the following: elevators CAfter three years of stairfclimbing, the Seniors need themj, longer lunch periods, a pair of arms for Venus, soap for the shower-room, a four-hour day, and even a jazz band. One good natured Senior went so far as to suggest that the members of his class return all spoons taken from the lunch-room. CA good idea, the Sophomores are still cominglj Some seriousfminded student advanced the idea that school spirit be the gift. Clf that quality were not intangible, it would be the duty of every class to name it as its gift.J The above title mentions mascots,',and before considering the 'Kgifts of the june Class we will read what the midfwinter students offer as mascots. Some were a bull, a monkey, a baby elephant, a duck, twin penguins, three roaring lions, a Polar bear, a seal, a fighting rooster, and even Mickey Mousef' C. H. S. would become a zoo if anyf body took the February Class seriously! Our friends, the june graduates, realized the value of a newcomer to our comic pages and selected as their mascot Eugene, the jeepnwthat is, 67 of them did. Others in the class believe that a greyhound dog would be a better mascot, some prefer a tiger, another group casts its vote for a parrot, a few are in favor of a mule, and scattered votes were found for an elephant, a German Police dog,a Dachshund, a wildcat, and Minnie the Mermaid. And now we return to the subject of gifts What do the junesters wish to leave to their Alma Mater? Well, it appears that this class has at least 50 thoughtful people for exactly that number voted for library books. But let us pass by this group and observe what gifts their friends prefer. Heading the list we find a number of people who consider that an appropriation of money for the purchase of the Mascot would be a good idea. Others are outspoken in their desire to leave the school a piano mover for assemblies, a restoration of the teachers' pay, a detective the might get the spoonsj, and a championship hockey team. Clocks that ring on time are the choice of some, while free magazines for current event work are mentioned by a few and probably would be appreciated by all. Thus we have observed how much love our graduates have for dear oldi' Cranston High School. -..sg QQ gg..- THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 412 CL.-XSS OFF1c:ERs FEBRUARY, 1937 Left to Right: Harlow.

Merritt, our esteemed coach from 1924 to 1936. -.,-srl f lam.- .W 34 ,lp THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 Garfeton l . mQI'ft.ff TIME may fly but the memory of Speed', Merritt is forever instilled in the hearts of all Cranstonites. For eleven years as head coach he has implanted in our boys the love of clean sport and loyalty to Cranston High School. His ardent enthusiasm has led our teams through victory after victory, or offered encouragement in the face of defeat. Mr. Merritt showed keen interest and ability in athletics while attending South Portland CMe.j High School. There he participated in basketball, football and hockey. At the University of Maine where he next matriculated he continued to participate in baseball, basketball, and football, and was acclaimed allfMaine quarterback in 1923. At Cranston Speed's,' record ranks him as one of the most successful coaches of football, baseball, and hockey. During the past eleven years his football teams have won four championships, finishing in second, third, and fourth places, twice respectively, and fifth place once. Never ending the season below third place, his hockey teams have been champions five times. Twice they ended in second place and twice in third place. In baseball he won one championship but his teams finished in second place four seasons. Many of those boys who received their early training under SpeedU have proved the wonderful effect of this in their later life. One of our former Cranstonites was Alla American at Army, another was a noted Maryland back and at present one of our athletes is playing with the Pittsburgh Pirates in the National Professional Football League. We knew Mr. Merritt as a coach and teacher, enjoyed his friendliness and infor- mality on the field and in the classroom, felt his personal interest in each of us as an individual, and honored him as worthy of the sincerest admiration. Let us wish him continued success in his every activity. Good luck to you, Mr. Merritt! Three cheers and a thunderbolt for Speed ! ELENA SCHUSTER -mgifli Egg... TIZIE CRANS'IlONII-XP! CLASS OF 1936 giliocfe rgsfanof in action AN eminent man once said Tell me how a man spends his leisure time and I will tell you what kind of a man he is. There is no better criterion of character of man or woman than his or her use of leisure. In spite of all the innovations that have been devised during our several centuries for the use of leisure, none has been more universal than the engagement in athletic endeavour, and none more profitable. When Roger Williams and his few neighbors laid down their axes and scythes, probably their imaginations did not encompass any better way to use their spare time than to relax by the fire, or read the Bible. When they had constructed their homes, chopped their wood, and done their planting, they had had sufhcient exercise to last them the remainder of their lives. But, undoubtedly, before the founders of these plantations had seen their grandchildren, they noticed a tendency among the youths of the village to emulate the sports of the Indian lad: running, fishing, swimming, archery, and hunting. Roger and his associates remembered cricket and rugby from England, and encouraged the lads to organize. As the years progressed, and between the warfare of the Revolution and the furore of 1812, boys became more and more skilled in runf ning and jumping, and similar activities that are as natural to boyhood as is swimming to a seal. By 1840, bare-fist prizefighting in a modified form was making its appearance in London, and also in private circles in New York. Wrestling and running were popular sports everywhere, particularly in the rural sections, and every one remembers Lincoln's now historic skill in wrestling. By the time of Lincoln's presidency, baseball was being developed, and in the following decade, Rhode Island boys were quick to attempt to learn the game, and tried to form athletic clubs and sandlot teams. Benjamin Franklin, in his Autobiography speaks of how rare it was to find a person who could swim well in the eighteenth century, but now swimming is practically universal. Rhode Island has been a great place for swimming, with its miles of safe, sandy beaches. A sport fan states that in his boyhood, a halffcentury ago, he swam off the fish piers on South Main Street, a hundred rods from which, now stands an excellent swimming pool. Let us consider basketball, developed only a few decades ago. At the present time, there is no secondary school in the state that does not have its team, and only few elementary schools that are not equipped with a basketball court. No further test of its popularity is needed to remind one of the constant clamor for basketball in gym periods here at Cranston. Baseball is a sport that has been particularly well supported in the state. Most parentis eyes light up when they remember the days when Providence was a member of the big league, or when they were a member of a local ball team. The three colleges in the state have done much to carry on the fame of baseball, with their annual classics among themselves. Continuing with a description of athletics, hockey deserves mention, for fans in this state join with New England and Canada in supporting this great sport. With the state's convenient size, our scholastic league functions better than those in most parts of the country. Soccer as a sport speaks for itself, as does wrestling. Football is by far the most popular sport among high school students, with baseball a close second. As an enjoyable and profitable way to spend leisure time, athletic participation is second to no other diversion. Educators, psychologists, and criminoligists have long expressed the idea that idleness helps to develop the majority of criminals. That is the first of the three factors that lend importance to sport. The second one is the development of physical perfection. Beyond all doubt, any form of directed physical endeavor has its place in building up in the general health of the participant. For the third component, one must think of a new idea ethe large part athletics will play in the improvement of the race. These factors coincide with Rhode Islandls sovereign ideal of advancement in all fields of endeavour. GEORGE E.

These gridiron men played valiantly, turning in fine performances despite team injuries and illfluck. Several close, hardffought games which might have gone their way were lost. Under the usual excellent coaching of Speed', Merritt and Buster Stebbins, three men gained positions on the AllfStar teams. Captain Trendino Petrarca, Bob Bennett, and Harold Potter were the players so honored. Although several veterans will be missing next year, a successful season under a coach yet to be selected is anticipated.

A margin of one run in the deciding game of the finals was all that separated our team from the crown. In reaching the play-offs, the Cranston nine won eight of ten regular League games. The mainstays of the team were Walter Morris, pitching ace, and AllfState selection, Captain Petrarca, catcherg third baseman Frank Parentig and outfielders Twaddie,' Damiani and Alfred D'Amico.

In a state where leaders have been of the highest calibre, Cranston has set the pace in interscholastic sports competition, The football teams of the Green and White have been the greatest pacefsetters. For many years the rival grid teams have been less advanced than those of Cranston and now that they are beginning to approximate the attainments of the latter school they are having to advance at a greater speed in a given period of time. Cranston has been a leader in the gradual improvement of scholastic baseball, and the present day competition in this sport is the closest imaginable. An excellent type of baseball is the rule rather than the exception of Rhode Island high school diamonds. Cranston has had a Varsity Basketball team only since 1927 and in the period intervening since then it has slowly but surely forged ahead to a position of leadership in the formation of new ideas and ideals. Edward C. Stebbins, the coach of the Cranston basketball team, was the leader in forming the newly organized Rhode Island Basketball Coaches Association. This organization, upon its founding, had as its principal objective the desire to promote a better understanding between coaches and officials, whereby there would be a mutual interpretation of the rules of the game. In recognition of his leadership, Mr. Stebbins was elected president of the organization and to Cranston High School, through Mr. Stebbins, goes the honor of being a leader in still another field. And now comes the new athletic plant which will be the finest in the state with the exception of Brown stadium. There will be a cement grandstand 315 feet long and 23 rows high. The press box will be 45 feet long, and will be equipped with telephone and telegraph service. In addition to this there will be both sending and receiving radio apparatus. Plans have also been made to install a floodlighting system. The stands opposite the grandstand will be built in the form of a J, and with the grandstand will form a huge amphitheater. Encircling the football field there will be a quarterfmile track of cinders and peat with a 15Ofyard straight-away in front of the grandstand. This should prove to be a great boost for track activities and hopes are now entertained that the League Meet may be held here next Spring. There will be jumping pits at the far end of the field at the western end of the grandstand. There will be a baseball field, a soccer field, an outdoor basketball court, tennis courts, horsefshoe pitching pits, and a separate practice field. Thus does Cranston High School continue its unbroken record of athletic leadership in scholastic circles. --wa 103 +369- THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 J Boys' SXVIMMINU TE.-XM Front Row: W.

Cranston, victorious in the singles matches, was represented by Carolyn Cheney and Dorothy Kenaston and in the doubles by Mabel Horton and Ruth Lindegren. As previously, a tournament was held among the girls of the advanced and inter- mediate groups. The tournament was won by Carolyn Cheney who received a sweater, shingle, and letter. Dorothy Kenaston, runner-up, received a letter and shingle, and Mar- jorie Goff, Mabel Horton and Eva Desrochers, semiffinalists received minor letters. The enthusiasm of the Tennis Club increases every year, as shown by the growing list of members. In fact, the size of the group has become a real problem for the coaches, with the result that in the ,future only those who pass tryfouts will be accepted as members. There will also be two assistant managers and a treasurer to facilitate the management of the organization. Qirls, mzffe Clam During the past year, under the leadership of Captain Elva Bufhnton and Top Serf geant jean Miller, the girls of the Rifle Club have arroused quite a bit ofinterest at Cransf ton. The members of the Club practice weekly at the Cranston Street Armory. In these weekly practices, the girls develop an extraordinary amount of steadiness and pref cision which, after all, is the object of most sports.

Nations and india viduals alike can build to permanent advantage only on the firm foundation which disappointment and apparent failure can create. The pessimist who is inclined to predict disaster on the slightest provocation might well review the history of Rhode Island as a fine illustration of the triumph of broadfminded initiative and self-reliance over misfortune. ' Roger Williams is well known to history but all too often only as a name. From the bitterness of persecution he formulated a doctrine of tolerance which has stood the test of time. He showed the fallacy of the shortfsighted principles of greed, jealousy, and selfishness which disrupted churches, disturbed governments, and caused a general disintegration of society. To men of his day it seemed unreasonable that both parties to a commercial transcation, for instance, could benefit by it, or that a ruling majority could afford concessions to the minority without injuring its own cause. Although decidedly a free thinker and an individualist, Roger Williams led the move' ment against the antiquated idea of progress at the expense of others. I-Ie vigorously condemned those who could not see beyond the immediate future and who defeated the fundamental purposes of organization by selfish reluctance to cofoperate with others. Today, at least, the theory of tolerance and good will has been widely recognized, but the application of this idea is not as extensive as it might be. Religious freedom in Rhode Island had a definite bearing on the War for Indepenf dence, for the Revolution was virtually financed by the wealthy jews who had found a haven in Newport. The inability of large groups of people to make up their collective minds is a common failing, but certainly there was nothing weak-minded about Rhode Island's Declaration of Independence two months before the colonies as a whole reached a decision, or her refusal to be hurried into ratification of the Constitution. Under the impetus provided by its illustrious founder, Rhode Island has been a ferf tile field for the ever desirable union of individual effort and efficient organization based not on discipline but mutual benefits to all concerned. As early as 1754 a public library was established in Providence and popular interest brought about the publication of a newspaper several years later. The organization of the Providence Franklin Society, the Rhode Island Historical Society, and the well' known Athenaeum in the early nineteenth century illustrated the active interest which Rhode Islanders took in the intellectual welfare of the state. Worthy causes were always well received, and the Y. M. C. A. and various fraternal organizations flourished. A typical example of Rhode Island initiative and true conception of value was the estabf lishment of the Boy Scout movement in the state prior to the national organization. The state may well be proud of its record in education. Brown University, one of the finest institutions of higher learning with its rich background extending into colonial days is an outstanding example, but now we boast of several other excellent colleges. In 1800, john I-lowland won a victory for popular education when the legislature passed a bill providing for free schools. Immediate success was not gained, but the fact remains that Providence was the first town in the United States to establish a universal free school system and that when Nathan Bishop became Superintendent of Schools in 1838, he bef came the first such ofhcefholder in the country. The manner in which Rhode Island has embraced progress certainly merits pride, but the work of Roger Williams is far from finished. Universal tolerance is as yet an ideal, but slowly and relentlessly bitter exe perience is proving how impractical it is to bear enmity because of religion, politics or class difference. Our present day problems are most bewildering, but as the history of The Spirit of Rhode Islandi' entitles us to expect, the progress of tofmorrow is built on the experif ence of today and yesterday.

What are its prospects and hopes for the future? What can it do to make Rhode Island a better state and its citizens more progressive? The answer is that it can do much, and the people of Rhode Island should see in it a guiding star for the future. Our Spirit of Rhode Island can advance the state's leadership in the educational field. Education needs progressivism, it needs individuality, and our doctrine is just the motivating force to lend these qualities. Rhode Island pioneered in this field and there is no reason to believe that it connot continue to pioneer by setting new standards. Rhode Island introduced the theory that the Church and the State must be separated and still live in peace. Since that belief was brought forth its principles have encompassed nearly all the earth. The hope for the future is that even those corners of the earth not yet reached by this doctrine will eventually become informed of its universality. Then, there is the case of freedom of speech with which freedom of the press is so closely associated. ln these days when this precious heritage is so gravely threatened, it is only reasonable to expect Rhode Island to again take the lead as did Roger Williams in 1636. The progressivism embodied in The Spirit of Rhode Island should do much to prof mote any new idea worthy of the name. The people of Rhode Island welcome advancef ment, but it must be advancement designed to benefit one and all alike. Spirit of Rhode Island, lead us ong our future is both bright and safe under your guif dance. 127 THE CRANSTONIAN CLASS OF 1936 gn appreciation HE Cranstonian Board of 1936 is ini- Ineasurably indebted to those who have Inade possible the publishing of this Crans- tonian.
