We have seen some of the leading countries of the world enter into oblivion. VVe have seen the third term precedent broken in the ranks of our own political history, and America's first peace time conscription. ln the midst of all this Worldly upheaval, we students of Cushing have also had some memborable experiences. We have made new friendships, we have gained a vast amount of knowledge, and above all we have enjoyed the advantages that go with living as members of the happy Cushing family. The time has finally come that we must go out into the World to face what the future holds in store for us. We shall disintegrate as a bodyg no longer to meet as the senior class. It is for this reason that the Penguin Staff has endeavored to produce this year book that shall perpetuate the satisfying memories that the class of 1941 have accumulated in the School Upon the Hill. X EDITOR-IN CHIEF I DEDICATION To Mother Brown we dedicate the 1941 Penguin Never too busy to come to our call A smile and glad greeting for each and for all Our ills she'll defeat and our troubles she'll drown For you and to you, our thanks, Mother Brown. gauge, ifyffnffumq fcjw'-Mfg, The Dear Old Cushing Days CORA H COOLIDGE 'sv FRANCE SHACKELTON 1 W i 1 .. . f..0.N ,. . -7 I 1 1.

VVz'mpy Meet Cushing's most unforgettable character, with a hatfull of idiosyncrasies blending with a sterling sense of humor. Wlimpy is the uncrowned king of Cushing's pranksters, though his obsequious manner belies this title. While managing the basketball team he innocently handed towels to the Huntington coach saying, K'Heyfgive these to the coach, will ya?H His capabilities are un- limited but he's most noted for coined phrases and his finesse at ad libbing. VVhile on French leave he included Tennessee in his itinerary which accounted for many ofthe 32 hours he had to make up. Originality and versatility make him a class president of pronounced ability. A menu monomania of two bowls of Ralston flakes is a dining hall standard. His long hair, held in place with a shoe string, provocated his present crew clip. The horde of Chesterfield manners he emulates stamps him a man-a man who leaves Cushing with his memory carved deeply in the annals of 1941.

Burien Four years of concentrated study have rendered Bertha nothing less than B and nothing more than A-. Her enviable scholastic record is undeniably Cushing's most brilliant. Alert in class, devoted to her home study, she has distinguished herself as one of Cushing's few students of perfection. Besides maintaining her admirable scholastic status, Bertha is active in extra-curricular activi- ties. From remote North Ashburnham she might be additionally commended for a near flawless attendance record. Bertha will use her commercial training to ad- vantage for she plans to enter the highly competi- tive secretarial field where she will be in a class by herself. A bright future to a bright lass is the wish of the Penguin. Pen and Pencil Club Q35 CLD, French Club fill CLIP, Breeze staff C4j, Penguin staff C4j. MILDRED M. AALTO Ashburnham, Mass. Millie Who is that beautifully and tastefully clad girl who steps out of the black limousine every school- day morning as it stops in front ofthe Main Build- ing? None other than Millie, hustling to get a fresh batch of Penguin material to type. Her efficiency in this merits an A+ recommendation to Katherine Gibbs where she will learn further secretarial Hnesse. For four years Millie has been at Cushing, and for four years she has grown more and more like brother Fddie. Both have a soft step and a soft voice A- but oh, how much knowledge there is be- hind that voice. With her neatness, nattiness, and knack, we prognosticate great things for Millie in the Secretarial VVorld. Pen and Pencil Club C3j C4j, French Club OD C4-D, Penguin Staff f4H. RUTH ARNOLD West Roxbury, Mass. Pzmko She walks in beauty with such commendable charms as an lpana smile and a Ponds com- plexion. These, together with her convivial nature, make this personable pianist the key- stone of perpetual harmony among her sister coeds. 'KPunko throws both hands at the toughest problems and has successfully battled her way to the honor roll. She evidently has taken a tip from the birds, for from morning 'til night she sings and trills to her heart's delight, but as she puts it, always Hkeeping my heart locked up for - Kdaddy'. VVe Won't tell ofher 'lafliairn with Fritz, lest she should remind us you're taking advantage of my innocencef' but we hope she'll have a swell time at Oberlin next year.

Well, here she is from room 309 in Vose. She seems to be so quiet, in fact, she was voted our quietest girl, but welll let you ask K'Leftyy' about that. Barbiels enthusiasm in shooting baskets in the gym proved fatal. I guess the Sunday afternoon practice will have to be stopped. Better take up ping-pong, Barbie! Her dreamy blue eyes and happy smilehave won her a place among all of her classmates, and Bouve is sure lucky to have Barbie in its entering class next September - Don't turn too many handsprings, Barbie!

Do you enjoy helping your father here in the bank?', I asked. Very much+in fact, I am entering Bentley School of Finance this fall! he said. And your summer? His eyes lit with anticipation. He was no longer caged. VVest to adventurefil Such is Arthur-going new places, meeting new girls, trying new lines. He has been football manager, hotel chef, driver for the faculty, bank clerk, and soda clerk. His present worry is how to make his first million, but Bickie's personality is worth a million!

Her quizzical May I Borrow . . . or 'WVhere's Mehitabeln are apt to be heard at anytime from 6:30 in the morning to 10:00 at night. This proud possessor of a Cadillac and a yacht turned traitor and meandered off to Tilton for a weekend. However, from various sources, chiefiy Amherst, we hear that that incident cured her of the wanderlust and she won't desert us again. Athletically-inclined Nancy dropped all out- side activities in order to spend her spare moments with her Chemistry books so that she might be well prepared for further study in her chosen Field of dietetics. Hockey f4l, Minervizin C4-Q. PAULINE BISBEE Ashburnham, Mass. Kipollyll Pauline's so tiny and busy that it's hard to catch a glimpse ofher. And to complicate matters she's also one of our quietest young ladies. One ofthe long line of Bisbees to attend Cushing she is, coincidental as it may seem, busy-as-a- bee , as her name implies. Each morning, re- gardless of Weather, we find her hopping down from the North Ashburnham Comet, of which her dad is pilot. Because she loves children, Polly has decided to become either a child's nurse or special tutor. So if your brood is brooding, consult Polly for consolation. Shels a girl with whom We can proudly say we associated. Good Luck, Polly! Chorus CID QD, Latin Club C21 CID, French Club C35 K4-D. STANLEY C. BLOOM Worcester, Mass. Stan VVorcester's loss and Cushingls gain is dapper Stan Bloom whose clothes remind us of the Lend- Lease Bill. They have been the envy and tem- porary property of most of Ash House this year. 'Tis lucky that that bomb didn't explode too rapidly in Stan's room, or it might have brought disaster to his creditable accumulation of art masterpieces adorning his Walls. Sprechen sie Deutsch ? If so, seek out Stan, who has the gift of gab in German and sometimes in English when he starts handing out his line, Nice going, kid! May his stardom on the V. Basketball team be duplicated in world affairs after four years at Bates. J. V. Basketball CLD, Camera Club MD, German Club CAD. ELEANOR W. BRONSON Waterbury, Conn. Cucz'dle5,' VVho's that Jewett Haller that's up on all the latest songs and catch phrases? It's Cuddlesl And the minute we think of Cuddles we think of Blondie. Those two are like ham and eggs, Cnothing personal meantjg they're always to- gether. The friendliest of the friendly, Cuddles always has something to say to everybody. Her love for chemistry , red hair, baby talk, support of VVaterbury CConnes:ticut in case you havenlt heardD, and her large collection ofjokes all add up to a grand personality. VVe know that Cuddles' popularity at the School of Nursing will soar just as high as it did here at Cushing. Germanae C35 CLD, President C4j, Basketball C35 C4j. NEIL BOUCHARD, JR. Ashburnham, Mass.

He likes to play sports and maybe he would have been a star, had not work interfered., but Cushing's loss was Mackls gain. Bushy can always be found at the village drug store on Friday nights unless he can have the use of the family Chevie to travel about a bit. Being a typical drug store cowboy he likes swing music and has a speaking acquaintance with all the best known band leaders. Polymnian C32 C4D, Chaplain CID, V.

None other than our p.opular drug store cowboy and swing band fan, Hank Brown, an experienced athlete as well as a smooth dancer. In the open spaces of North Ash he has de- veloped a rugged ability that served him well as captain of the cross country team, as a varsity hoopster, and as a star first baseman for the diamond Jay Vees.

She is a fanatic on the subject of knitting, and she is a genius on the subjects of piano and accordian. She dances, she skis, she swims, and does all her homework assignments. Besides all this she finds time galore for a certain Becker College student who really rates with her. How does she find the time? I don't know. Another of the wonders of the world, I guess. VVe are already anticipating the time when she will take appointments to give us a new hair-do after her training at a School of Beauty Culture. Class Vice President Ol, Pen and Pencil Club CZJ. JOHN C. CURTIS Ashburnham, Mass. 70Iznnie For four years courteous Mr. Curtis has been cutting capers in Cushing classrooms, eating Cushing food, and dating Cushing coeds. All three he's overdone, much to the discomfort of the faculty, the cook, but certainly not the coeds. Says he: A different date makes life sedate. A skier, an actor, a gigilo, and epicure, Johnnie is extremely versatile. Never in trouble, he nearly blotched his flawless conduct record last fall when he had a coiffure a la Gilman. That was a close shave. Alohnnie's pet habit is soaking up Ash House showers. But he's far from all wet. After gradu- ation, J. C. plans to enter either NI. I.

Basketball team. just to limber up a little before a game, he chops a cord of Wood. Bill's attractive physique is due partly to his hobby, swimming. He's amphibious! Even the fishes get tips from his excellent swimming and diving techniques. The drug store soda fountain became famous for Bill's delicious sundaes, but that rosy glow on his cheeks isn't a drug store complexion - it's health in capital letters. WVhole- some and friendly, Bill is assured a good place in the business world after he does his stretch in the Coast Guard. J. V. Basketball JOHN DEL TORCHIO, JR., Gloucester, Mass.

Living on salt cod seems to have agreed with Del for according to the VVorcester Telegram he has the Hnest set of teeth in captivity and he is voted our handsomest boy. During Carnival we noticed fisherman Del es- corting a most attractive young lady about the campus so now we understand why he doesnlt coed with the Penguin girls. lt's not because he's bashful but that his heart belongs to Libby, Del plans a P.

Minnow didn't take stenography but he has had plenty of practice in composing his daily epistle to Minnie , the one and only in New Hamp- shire's capital city. Although Phil is large of statue, he is still a child at heart, for his keen sense of humor keeps him a contributor to all the Ash House pranks, especially when McNally is one of his coadjutors. At Bates Minnow should grow into a full grown fish and we predict and hope for a great future for him. Football 145 J. V. Basketball f4l, Cane Speech.

Her bubbling enthusiasm and her quick comebacks have certainly made her a great favorite with all. Nothing seems to get her down, not even the necessity of hobbling about on crutches and dragging a much auto- graphed Cast around for weeks. lt all happened on a cross country ski hike when Sinchy took a fast schuss in double time and landede-in the hospital.

ELIZABETH LAWRENCE, Ashburnham, Mass. Bette Bette's been haunting Cushing's intellectual catacombs for a period of live years. Each June she claims she's had enough, but almost in- variably the following fall finds her back for more. She obviously hasn't had her fill of book- larning yet, but until she does, we'll continue to enjoy her joviality and warm presence. A natty dresser, a shade retiring, her first impression is one of quietness and modesty. The latter is well- founded, but because of her escapades with her colleague, Dot Whitney, the former is far from exact. She certainly is a miss we'll miss, and to her go our wishes for a prosperous future.

The pride and preju- dice of Acton is a versatile lad as he demonstrated by being a better than average student, a member of the football, basketball, and track squads, and a Thespian ot' no mean ability, as well as Ash House's greatest mouse-tamer.

Hmnyr lt's been line having Henny these last four years -e so quiet, dependable, and good natured. Henny lives a mile down the road from school where he runs a profitable and model poultry farm. His attractive Hower gardens are evidence of his interest in gardening and botanyl Une of the most resourceful students at Cushing, he can improvise just about anything. Henning is artistic to his fingertips and he also has a talent for devising mechanical toys. He may turn out to be another Walt Disney! Planning to study drafting next year, a good student like Henning isgsuregto make his way in the world. lrack fl-lr. FRED GIBSON PERKINS York, Pa. Perle To look at Perk you would swear he had time on his hands, but irrespective of vogue or place, our amiable Pennsylvanian takes it in three quarter time. Fred is characterized best by his dogged determination to thoroughly do the job on hand. Seeing him rise to fall again, yet always striving for the finesse which was ulti- mately his, proves his theories pay dividends. Not unlike his manner is his speech, which is about as vociferous as the proverbial Sphinx. He has no nods for Cushing's whimsical coeds but takes phantom week-ends to Fitchburg for compensation. Roll on Perk , take life in your sauve, off handed manner, for the world has plenty of room for stout hearted men. J. V. Football Ml, Track C4j, Outing Club UU. MILDRED E. PATRICK Worcester, Mass.

You can always find Mimi with her head glued to the radio listening to some popular swing band. She usually has a sad, wistful expression, but we know she's hiding something, which probably makes her quite a different girl out of school, and Mimi really keeps the roads open between Wlorcester and Ashburnham. lNfIiss Hendry will lose a great entertainer on afternoon duty hours, and Miss Eames will lose a wonder from her Latin IV class when Mimi goes to Lasell Junior College next year to take up Medical Secretarial XYork.

She has a re- served seat in the Finch-VVhitman Apartment,' on Sunday morning to digest the funnies. Studious Ruth is very generous and has never refused to do a favor for anyone.

Y. ll 77 For two years Charlie has been strolling around the Cushing campus, observing the goings-on without comment, but when spoken to always ready to offer a reply worth listening to. Pleasant, likeable, Charlie's one of our best natured fellows. Although he looks the part of a gigilo, he has remained faithful to the gal back homen, never once dating a Cushing lass. An avid baseball fan, Charlie can quote figures on any phase of major league baseball. He was promoted from Jayvee to Varsity basketball this year, but a 'fbean-ball in the spring of '40 shattered a probably brilliant baseball career. Charlie has no definite preference as to college, in fact, he claims he'll go wherever he is accepted. At any event, he's accepted in the opinion ofevery Cushing student.

He came to us three years ago, quiet, unassum- ing, and almost bashful. Three weeks later we were convinced otherwise. Since then he's been our number one choice for the most consistent Cushing coeder. There have been several cute hits on Fredls date parade. This year he's been at Bay-butt he apparently doesn't mind.

Schmitty also is an artist of rare ability and originality, and his caricatures are something to write home about. The art work in this book is almost entirely from his pen. In addition to his many accomplishments, Jim is the type who can wipe his feet on any welcome mat, for his disarming smile and unimpeachable good nature make him tops in any society.

Your nonconformities to superior classmen has bleached our affections and deepened our dis- trusts, our only alternative is to lay heavily on you jeopardizing,juvenescent, irremediables, the ultimate in justice. Now you sublime-in-the-ludicrous, loose thyselves from your seats and stand, as inconspicuously as possible. If your bodies have been as malnourished as your mentality has ostensibly been neglected, you should have remained in bed. Despite the fact we in our Epicurean constancy have consistently maintained the most decorous manner, symbolical of those who insist upon strict proprieties you have fallen aside with appalling inaptitude. This will never do. As the maggots eat the cheese so will this disregard for the social and intellectual amenities gradually undermine your alleged characters. Oh! my fellow educators, what a heart rending sight. Can you not see the hopelessness of our tasks? The process of learning presupposes brains atop the human form. Here we have neither. Twisted spine or no spine at all-Do they walk or creep? Even a worm moves. Is it possible that shags of cloth cover human bodies from the appearance of that vistage of phsiogonomy which ought to be a face? VVe are led to a debatable conclusion. Before these circulatory amoebae have to be picked up with a blotter, let your tottering carcasses be lowered to a quasi-horizontal position ---------- Sit Down ------ . Obviously such decortion is headed for a fatalistic juxta-position with the damnation bow- wows. Fortunately for you, my creeping crustaceans, there are men and women of might who can save you from this untimely but justified extinction. You must propitiate your unpardonable existence to this time only by carrying out this dictum of your superiors with meticulous and willing cooperation in order that we may be spared a further exhibition of this sort. To save our breath from future admonitions we will have you present to each member of the honorable and cultured class of1941 a selected walking cane. Let this be no ordinary willow stick lest we thrack thee with such cheapened substitute. Let it be a symbol of the dignity which becomes your superiors-the honored seniors. The presentation shall come within ten days and shall be subject to the following concater- nations to wit: The parade shall be formed entering this institution of learning by the posterior orifice, the same is to be headed by you, President St. Cyr grovelling in the dust with your thorax, diaphram, pelvic area and tibia not more than four inches from the Hoor. The means of locomotion will be roller skates. jack VVo0druff, for mercenary measures employed while carrying down laundry bags, which in itselfshould be considered a privilege, you shall circumscribe your midriH with nothing but a barrel, and clasp gently but firmly a laundry case in each grasping hand. 66 Tommy Gormley, you shall lend your useless talents for the impersonation of Kipling's im- mortal Gunga Din , take care to have the proper equipment, and in some way try to betteryourself by his example. The learned demand the lack of harmony and discords that has characterized your class be atoned for. LaBrack, Lalfortune and Hawkes, you shall come as the lnkspots and give your ren- dition ofthe Java Jive. To induce some knowledge of the greats in history, Marrietta Marmorek shall be drawn in on a float as Cleopatra by Arthur Cutter as Mark Anthony. He shall cry loudly in his stentorian voice, - I'd rather be a dog and bray at the moon, than be such a Roman. Francis Arnold shall crawl in as a bear singing, Amapolla. For your interference and annoyance to senior co-eders, Dorothy Andreasson and Duncan Munro will put on a mock marriage. They shall have the appropriate music sung by Lea Ojanen. The rest of this revolting mass of contumacious imbeciles shall be dressed in the opposite sex clothes and securely shackled to one another. They shall chant in unison, Save us, our superiors. President Louis Jones ofthose Sophomore illiterates, who have salvaged their learning capacity from the comic section, shall appear clad solely in such, carrying a sign reading, All the nude that's fit to show. Our Blonde Boy Bartlett shall proudly enter as pertly as possible in a very chic nurse's uni- form pushing Barbara Brown in a perambulator. He shall stop long enough every ten steps to pinch Bab's cheek. Another of this disturbing dissipated group comes forth. Ken Mc Kenney shall cover his creak- ing carcass with a fur coat and crown his hollow head with a fine panama straw. He shall press to his hollow bosom a toy dog to remind him that he has been saved from the dogs. Hanging on his arm will be Pauline VVhalen dressed in deep mourning in memoriam ofthe many separations she has ex- perienced this year. The remainder of the class shall form a picket line appropriately dressed and each carrying a huge placard upon which shall be inscribed a deprecating statement about the memberoftheopposite sex most warmly admired by the bearer. Let these instructions be carried out to the most minute detail. Learn if you can from ob- serving the rectitude of the members of the class of 1941 how your own actions should be circum- scribed. As the mist rolls over the hills every morning, so shall the light of apprehension dawn upon your consciousness, and bathe your shivering anatomies with the light of eternal knowledge. FINIS.

Wwe find that the members, as individuals, have been into everything. Some of the most ardent co-eders, star athletes, and high ranking students are found among the forty-tworersf' Harrison Bailey of skiing fame, was elected president, that mischievous but popular co-ed, Ruthie Ross, was chosen vice-president, Betty Thayer, a very active and versatile student, was elected secretary, and that star of the basketball, baseball, and football teams--Bob Hubbard, assumed the duties of treasurer. The class picnic held the last of May was a spirited affair, but the major event of the year, into which the combined efforts of each individual were put, was the Junior Prom. Those who decorated are especially to be commended. Cowell Hall was transformed into a delightful summer garden. Flowers climbed up the walls, and holly hocks bloomed by the walks. A white picket fence X enclosed another bed of flowers, and in one corner a bird bath was located. It was a beautiful setting for the happy couples swaying rhythmically to Bun Royls music. Looking into the future, we know that these juniors will very capably take over the duties of dignified CPD Seniors and we sincerely wish them happy sailing. 74 Front Row: Delisle, Wennerberg, YVhalen, Xviley, Miss Eames, King, Christian, Bourgeois Second Row: Hebert, Packard, XVeeks, Marmorek, Cornwall, Van der Xveide, Brown, Vallette Third Row: Cramm, Peirce, Mclienriey, Marble, Bartlett, Carroll, Cohery SOPHOMORE CLASS The class of 1943. This group of wise young sophomores got off to a good start this year by electing an energetic group of ofiicers - Louis Jones was chosen to lead the group, Mary Wiley became vice-president, Pauline YVhalen, secretary, and Richard Carroll, treasurer. ltdidn't take this quartette long to organize and get going for they soon provided one of the high lights of the fall social season . . . . the Flection Jamboree. The chapel was lavishly decorated with pictures of President Roosevelt and Wendell VVillkie and numerous posters and banners urged the election of the various candidates for national, state, and local ofiice. A ballot was presented to name the Cushing boy most likely to occupy the Yvhite House and VVimpy Hanson proved to be the Winner while Marty Gibbs was picked as the girl most likely to become First Lady of the land. During the evening a variety of games, stunts, and races supple- mented the program of dancing. During the winter season the class accepted a challenge for a basketball game with the Freshies, and promptly gave the yearling five a sound thrashing. The spring activity was a class picnic with all the attendant good things to eat and plenty of class spirit on top. The class is fortunate in having bliss Eames as its sponsor and looks forward to an active junior year. T5 Hwnt Row: .-Xndreasson, Arnold, Ovianen, hir. Dean, St. Cyr, ,-X.

Shortly after the first marking period the little group carefully scrutinized the 2.5 list to pick eligible girls for their society. Invitations were ex- tended and accepted, then followed a hilarious week with horrid looking creatures dashing about, anxious to obey the honorable members. However, the week was climaxed with a lovely formal initiation. The Christmas Tea Dance was held in Ash House common room which was appropriately decorated with evergreens, snow balls, and a life sized Santa. Friday afternoon ofCarnival week-end a festive Heart Throb tea dance was given in conjunction with the Germanae Society. Ash House common room was gaily transformed again by red streamers and frilly hearts. After a delightful evening of dancing at the Carnival Ball, the couples partook of sandwiches and coca cola served by the Minnies and Polys. During the month ofApril, a delightful week-end was sponsored by the Minervians and Polym- nians. A buffet supper dance was held on Friday night. The tables were ornamented with May poles, and the room was decked with pastel streamers, thus creating a spring atmosphere. A puppet show was given in Cowell chapel Saturday night-an entertaining novelty enjoyed by all. A staggette breakfast was served at Lowe Hall Sunday morning, where the girls consumed many eggs, mounds of golden toast, delicious new maple syrup, and stacks of raised doughnuts. A very im- pressive vesper service was held Sunday night under the leadership of various members of both societies, thus concluding a successful week-end. To terminate the formal meetings of the year, the Minnies and Polys combined their talent in ajoint meeting the last ofMay. The I-Iare and Hound race on Memorial Day furnished swimming, sunburns, and a good sized picnic lunch for the girls. The underclassmen gave the Seniors a memor- able farewell party which brought tears and laughter as they reviewed the many activities they enjoyed while being a Minervian. The annual four-society banquet was held at Toy Town Tavern, thus ending a most delightful and successful year. The most outstanding event in the Minervian schedule was the Reunion Luncheon celebrating the 50th anniversary, and held May 17 at one o'clock in the Gym. Kendall, the caterer, served a delicious lunch. Although there wasn't a 1002, attendance of the 450 Minervian alumnae whose addresses we could locate, we had correspondence from nearly all of them. We were made to realize from the response, that to have belonged to the Minervian Society was a long cherished memory in the hearts of the old members. The present members acted as hostesses at the reunion. The Minervian colors black and gold, decorated the table. Singing, cheering, and comparing Cushing life of 1891-1941 helped to make the reunion program a milestone in the history of the Minervian Society. President Kay Zuschlag spoke in behalf of the twenty-eight members of this year's group. Until September 10, 1890, there were only three societies-two boys and one girls. On this date a group of girls formed the second girls SocietyMThe Minervian Literary Society, whose motto is Cultus mentis non finis sed adjumentumng the culture of the mind is not the end, but the means. With this as the guiding force, this organization has had fifty eventful years, and we extend good wishes to future members that they will continue good sailing for the next fifty years. 81 Front Row: Christian, Wiley, Bronson, Ross, Tipple, Nillson Semnd Row: Norris, lfinch, Sibley, Davis, Piper, Briggs, Spencer, Brown Third Row: Hurlin, Gibbs, Whitman, Rockman, Miss Hendry, McCarey, Vifhitney, Simmons GERMANAE OCIETY The Germanae Society launched a highly successful year with their hrst meeting r- E held early in October. Invitations came soon afterwards and with their acceptance came added enthusiasm and activity during the period of initiation. Under the leadership of Eleanor Bronson and the guidance of Miss Hendry, a fine group of both old and new girls worked energetically to make this year even more pleasant, interesting and exciting than the last. The outstanding events of the year were the Valentine's Day Dance given by the Germanae and Minervians as part of the Carnival celebration, the Germanae Barn Dance, an informal party held in the gymnasium. The feature attraction of this unusual event was a real, live, old-fashioned orchestra and caller to provide music for the country dances. The Virginia Reel, Portland Fancy, Money Musk, and Quadrille proved to be favorites with the student body as Miss Hendry acted as guide and chief caper-cutter of the evening. The Germanae-Philadelphian week-endwas featured by a double-header softball game after dinner on Friday, a cabaret in the chapel on Saturday even- ing, and a vesper service Sunday afternoon conducted by Society members. The year came to a triumphant conclusion with the annual banquet at Toy Town Tavern, and what a gala affair! Everyone was carefully combed and brushed and dressed in her best bib and tucker. A sumptuous meal was followed by a program of speaking and music which in turn was followed by dancing, games, and other activities to bring a grand climax to a grand year. 82 lfronl Row: Dodge, Ruder, McNeish, Hanson, Gallivan, Smith, Oelschlcgel, Mr. W'ahlgren Second Row: Bartlett, Bailey, jones, Clive, Sullivan, VVilson, Bloom Third Raw: Fletcher, Schmidt, Bacon, Linalsay, Aalto, XV.

Billingham PHILADELPHIAN SOCIETY Because Cushing's 19404941 calendar of extra-curricular events made little Q A provision for an immediate resumption of society activities, the Philadelphians were somewhat tardy in organizing for their sixtieth consecutive year of work. Ten re- turning members greeted Mr. YVahlgren, the new Faculty Brother at the first meeting early in Nov- ember. Bids were sent out on November 17, and after a week ofservitude to the veteran members by the pledglings, the hilarious mock initiation was held. Dressed in dresses, overshoes, and other- things the initiates rushed and blushed about Ash House singing songs, dancingjigs, and recit- ing nonsensical ditties. A week later the formal initiation ceremonies were held in the society rooms by candlelight. The new members were given a brief outline of the purposes of the society. The first regular meeting took place on Feb. 23. Newly elected members were made familiar with the meeting procedure, roll calls, papers, open discussions, and a debate constituted the program. Two weeks later an Open House meeting was held on the general theme of Radio Broadcasting. Mr. Charles R. lovino, news analyst of station NYIMAVV was the highly interesting guest speaker. At the April 27 meeting, the recipients ofmid-year and early-spring bids were formally initiated to bring the membership quota to completion. Features of the spring season were the Philadel- phian-Germanae week end which was indeed a great success, the combined societies providing a series of rare entertainments, the annual four-society banquet at Toy Town Tavern, and the fare- well meeting held just previous to commencement. Thus the society, completing its three score years of service, Finds itself vigorous, healthy, and full ofzest for the years to come.

After under- N T going the usual week of torture and the gala Friday night affair in the dining room, these pledges became fellow Polymnians: VVestern, Moriarty, Moore, McNally, La- Fortune, Goodwin, and Dasey. The mid-year bids brought Martin, Brown, Del Torchio, and Godfrey, the final set of bids bringing Hubbard and Perkins. The officers, elected at the close of last year were: John Jennings, president, john Curtis, vice-president, jerry Farrell, secretary, Robert Hart, treasurer, and Charles Prescott, chaplain. At the mid year elections, the society voted to retain these same oHicers. The weekend, put on with the co-operation of the Minervians, was held April 26e27. A buffet supper Friday, was followed by dancing in the Ashburnham House common room. The Saturday night entertainment consisted of a puppet show which everyone enjoyed. At the Vesper service, Moriarty and Godfrey were the speakers and were assisted by the Polymnian-Minervian Choir. The year was climaxed by the annual banquet at Toy Town Tavern in nearby VVinchendon, with all attending in formal attire. The four societies dined together and then each brother and sister society respectively adjourned to separate rooms to hold joint meetings. After various speeches and songs, general dancing was enjoyed by all before returning to Ashburnham. Throughout the year several meetings were held, consisting of general business, debates, dis- cussions, and varied entertainment. Although graduation takes most of the members, the society remains in capable hands for the issuing of next year,s bids. All in all, the Polymnian Society en- joyed an excellent year under the capable guidance of its adviser, Mr. Creighton. 84 XYhit1nan, Moriarty, Farrell, McDonald DEBATING For the second time since the competition was established four years ago, a Cushing team won the New Fngland Preparatory School Debating Tournament held at Bates College. This year the team won four unanimous decisions against Maine Central Institute, New Hampton School, Holderness School, and Hebron Academy. The Cushing afiirmative team consisted of Jerome Farrell and john Nloriarty while Gloria McDonald and Ann YVhitman upheld the negative of the subject, Resolved, that the power ofthe Federal government should be increasedf, John Moriarty upheld the Cushing tradition in this event by being judged the best speaker in the tournament and receiving a scholarship to Bates as a reward while all members received gold medals. Numerous other debates were held during the season on the same question and in nearly all of them the Penguin representatives came otf victorious, in fact, the afiirmative team was unde- feated to complete a splendid record for Jerome Farrell who has been undefeated over a period of two years. Among the schools met were St. Marks School, Northampton High, Groton High, Portland High and Mt. Hermon School. The Mt. Hermon argpiment was in the form of a round table discussion. Cushing was represented by Fdwin .-Xalto, Marilyn .-Xrey, and Louise Applebauni. A large part of the credit for the team's success goes to Mr. Quimby who by his untiring etforts has built up a real interest among this small but industrious group. 85 in l-fff,ffI2fa.- Ciclrlllllll'Blflfj'l3fi'lfllflfffiSAlilfavlfl50gQllEff'lma -QQ!

Xfbix Several of these lectures were given by members of the club and many fine points of the art of i taking a picture were pointed out. After several meetings, the club congregated in the school ofhce to look over and discuss pictures of the school which had been taken during the past twenty years, and to note changes and improvements in photography during that period. Mr. Quimby had a particularly fine snap of the Bronze Boy printed and gave each member a copy. A May breakfast was held at the Alewett Hall fire-place and while lN lr. Quimby was cooking the bacon and pancakes, the camera enthusiasts snapped shots of everybody and everything. . l After complete justice had been done to the assembled viands, the group called it a year, helpful and successful. 86 l'9'ru1l Rn-lv: XYiley, Miss Huron, :Xntilla .Nrrfnzfl Row: XValcott, Caouette, Ci.

The honorary members present were Miss Hopkins, Miss Hendry, and Miss Kimball, and delicious refreshments were served to hungry students and faculty members alike. Amusing games pertain- ing to the subject of shorthand were played and enjoyed by all, and it was with many a regretful sigh that this first meeting was at last adjourned. From that day on the monthly meetin YS which took lace at Lowe Hall were eagerly antici- . 1 . E e . vated. One hi hli fht in our winter season took ilace iust before Christmas.

This was a sort of farewell party to all members of the Pen and Pencil Club who would not be there next year, and it was with mixed emotions of happiness and griefthat we finally pronounced the year's activities at an end. To Miss Eaton, the faculty adviser of our club, go our very sincere thanks and appreciation for her splendid efforts to make this club, which is still in its infancy, the success that the last few years have proved. 87 'G' From' Row: Goldman, Tipple, Gallivan, Ryland, Smith Sefond Row: Andreasson, Vlfillins, Baker, Houran, Nliss Eames, Brown, Stark, Samson, Davis Third Row: Haug, Nelson, Applebaum, Taylor, Patrick, Martin, Spencer LATI CL B Under the leadership of Ruby Ryland and Jack Gallivan as consuls and Ray Smith, Blary Tipple, and Elizabeth Smith as aediles, the thirty members of the Latin Club have thoroughly enjoyed three very clever programs arranged by lyliss Eames. The club played hosts to the Gardner Latin Club at the first meeting last fall. We presented a play, The Magic Toga, whose star performers were Barbara Haug, Ray Smith, and Yale Goldman. The play was the story of a poor girl who couldn't understand her Latin assignments until in a weird nightmare all is made clear to her. The Latin HI class then took charge of the entertainment as Roman Senators in their flowing robes, urging a cowering H Catalinel' to flee from Rome to the tune of Clementine and the accompaniment of eery, wild-looking pantomimes. Then Mary Tipple and lilaine Rockman showed us how to translate a letter in Spanish by means of their Latin, followed by moving pictures of Naples and the Isle of Capri. The evening ended with games and refreshments. The second meeting of the club occurred during the winter term when we were guests of the Gardner Club. VVe were thoroughly entertained by a clever and well-presented play entitled Theseus and the Minotaur given in Latin. Stereopticon slides ofclassic discoveries,games, and refreshments completed the evening. The high-light of the club's activities occured at the Roman banquet in May. A picturesque, if not amusing, sight was to be seen when slaves waited upon reclining figures wearing leaves on their heads and flowing white sheets. The feature dish was4K'peacock's brains otherwise known as ham and beans. Several skits were presented by the Latin I class which completed a most de- lightful evening and a climax to the yearls activities ofthe Latin Club. 88 4 . Fran!

The first item on the program was, of course, the vigorous rendition of the Marseillais, followed by the roll call, K'Ce que veux pour la Noel, William Martin then read a paper pre- pared by Martha Gibbs entitled, La Noel en Francef' The applause was overwhelming as a quartet, made up of Betty Davis, Jeannette Bourgeois, Robert Hart, and Donald McNeish, finished a song, but burst forth again as Jeannette Bourgeois and Betty Davis sang a duet. Then came two stories of Christmas read in French by Miss Sawyer and Raymond Pouliot, followed by a short skit entitled, uLa Noel de la Petite Yvonne played by Bette Lawrence and Bertha .-Xntilla. The climax of the evening was when Santa Clause lilooking a bit like one of our Seniorsl stopped by long enough to give out presents to the good' boys and girls of our club. It was surely a delightful and entertaining get-together of our French students. Much credit and many thanks go to Miss Sawyer. 89 .wg l rm1t1Cnzc.- Marr, Patrick, Grant, Dunlap, Cornwall, Tipplc, Cirzilizim, Barstow, Simmons, Miss Ciaylor, Wilson, Tolman, Ciravcs .W'mnf1'Rnt:.'

The program of this department is emphasized and is associated with many of the year,s more important activities. llnder the capable supervision of Miss Gaylor and Mr. Norton, the schedule had an early September start, and its splendid results culminated with the Commencement Program in June. The musical organizations and classes carried on very well during the short absence of Miss Gaylor in the winter period, but the entire school was stunned with the announcement that she would not return to Ashburnham to Finish the year. Miss Gaylor has been organist, teacher, and friend to Cushing students for fifteen years. Her position was taken for the remainder of the term by lVIiss Rose Myrtle Humiston. Mr. Donald Yyilcox continued Miss Gaylor's organ lessons. No musical organization suttiered as much during the year from lack of material as did the orchestra. Only three former members returned to assist Mr. Norton, and the orchestra contained no stringed instruments. However, the results obtained by the group were excellent, and, because the musicians made up in quality and experience for what they lacked in numbers, theirharmo ious results were a 1941 improvement. The Girls, Glee Club carried on a standard of excellence set by Miss Gaylor in past years. The student body heard them perform on a Music Morning program. The group rendered two selections at Christmas Vespers and one on Parents' Day in May to demonstrate their talents. The Boys, Glee Club learned rapidly under Mr. Nortonls direction. The most accomplished vocal artist in the group was the president, Don McNeish. Their old English arrangement of Elsie Marley was unanimously popular. Twenty-eight of Cushing's best student singers made up the mixed choir which carried on the major part of the school's vocal music. Among the several Vesper Services at which they sang, was l'l7'U7If Row: YYooglward, Grant, Davis, .-Xrey, Clive, Mcxeish, Uelschlegel, Davis Second Row: Ryland, Wilson, Marr, Hausman, Curtis, Moore, Del Torchio Third Row: Simmons, Smith, Xvaite, l,aing, Arnold, Goldman, Hayman the impressive Christmas program. It was in this service that the candle-bearing choir formed along the wall of the Chapel to accompany Betty Davis and Don McNeish who shared the solo passages. This body ol' singers gave a concert at Leominster High School and assisted in a Wednes- day morning program. They deserve much credit for their a cappella work, for it is the lirst time in several years that this has been attempted. The choir had the last musical Word of the year at Commencement time, and We who were in our caps and gowns will ever remember the voice of Betty Davis, The student trips to the Boston Symphony Concerts and the Fitchburg Concert Series were important in Cushing's musical education department. On May 30th a large body ol' under- graduates, faculty, and alumni met at the K' POPSH Concert in Boston to en-ioy the music of.-Xrthur lfeidler. Mr. Norton's music mornings gave an insight into the history and instrumentation of the art. This department is a credit to the school, to those who supervise it and to the students who carry out its activities. May it improve in years to come as it has in 19-11. lfrwzl Rare: XYUO.lW'1lfLl, Moore, lfrietlmzin, Newton .Wffu1ffRmc.'

Along with U16 ClOSiI1g Scenes of the immortal play, we have our Christmas party with a gaily trimmed tree and a visit from Santa Claus.

Her young daughter, who has been too often to the theater, presents many problems which bring about perplexing situations. Kay Zuschlag plays the lead with Fritz Oelschlegel, Dick Dodge, Ann Whir- man, ,lohn Curtis, Betty Finch, Barbara Graham, and Lorraine McPherson as supporting cast. Many members have purchased Theater Guild tickets and throughout the year they have seen such stars as Helen Hayes, Miriam Hopkins, Frederick March, and many others. To Miss Cann we extend our best wishes and our thanks for a most enjoyable year. Front Row: Ruder, Curtis, Bailey, Jennings, Taylor, Wilson, Gray SLTUVILII Row: Mr. Cooke, Do.lge, Baker, Hubbell, Clenereux, Fowler, Goodwin, Zink, Mr. Wlahlgren TING CL Under the regime of President John Jennings and Old Man Wlinter the Outing Club enjoyed a very active season. The first evening meeting was held at Mr. Cooke's home. New members were introduced, movies shown, plans discussed, and refreshments enjoyed. Two new features were added to the Club program, first, the formation of a Ski Patrol to supervise the trails and courses during competitions. The members did a fine job and were especially helpful during Car- nival. Second, was the inauguration of a Junior Ski School under the direction of Sonny VVilson. Some fifteen youngsters of Ashburnham were members of the school and many of them became proficient skiers during the season which was culminated by a competition in which the young hopefuls proved their worth. The winner was Dickie Bailey with Carl Prince, Jr., a close second. lVIyrtle Hansen carried off the honors in the girls' division. Prizes were provided by the Club and at the final meeting were presented to the victors by Mr. Roger Langley, president of the National Ski Association, who was our honored guest for the evening. The annual C.O.C. Championship Tournament was keenly contested: Jimmy Taylor won the Cross Country, Johnny Curtis captured the downhill, Tink Bailey outjumped the field and Fred Ruder took the slalom honors. The four event winner proved to be Tink Bailey with 385 points to his credit. Howard Godfrey captured the Class B title and Dick Dodge was the Class C winner. Twice during the winter the Club enjoyed trips to Mr. Cooke's camp in the ski country. The first was an overnight stay and provided ample skiing and fine moonlight skating. The other served as a windup for the Club Tournament and on perfect snow, twenty-one members schussed goodbye to skiing for another year. On each trip, Mr. Cooke demonstrated his culinary ability much to our gastronomic delight. In March the Club adopted a new sleeve emblem which displays a penguin taking a steep schuss on skiis. All in all, the season was a happy one and returning members are already looking forward to the winter of 1942. 93 Front Row: Graham, Briggs, Zuschlag, Hart, Hurlin, P.

All departments of the paper merit special mention. In reporting, forecasting, editorializing, and creating, an equally creditable product has resulted from the efforts of the twenty students who devoted their time to the composition of each edition. The chief personality behind the headlines has been Bob Hart with Betty Thayer an able collaborator. Vllhimpy Hanson, Cushing's answer to Bill Cunningham, styled the football and basketball seasons in intricate manner, and provided sundry features. Mr. Robert Hanscom, the faculty adviser was invaluable in assisting the attempts of the young journalists. A board of managers dealt efficiently with the business ofthe paper, and the Financial accounts were under the supervision of Mrs. Paul Heslin. In the Autumn, in the lYinter, in the Spring, the whole school talked about the H Bronze Boyf' During the past two semesters it has been a source of anxiety to some and of merriment to many. Some of the outstanding seniors have been recognized in the K' Personable Personalities column, and a record of alumni achievement has been compiled. The book re- views, poems, reports of interesting school side-lights, and the humor articles have dressed up the news reports and have illus- trated the versatility of the staff. -limmie Schmidt's unique car- toons Were an excellent 1941 innovation.

Pengy grew and grew, and in May she was almost full-sized, so that it was hard to keep her away from inquisitive companions, but King Moriarty and Dr. Munroe VVilson restrained their prodigy until she had had the proper grooming by art specialists. On June 7th all was ready for the coming-out party. Pengy, proudly robed in royal purple and white with a flash of gold, appeared before the critical gaze of the Cushing world. She will miss the pampering occasioned her by the staff of specialists, but she will thoroughly enjoy the privilege of meeting new friends, and having them share with her the benefits of her up-bringing. She is aware that she has been the recipient ofdiscerning diagnosis, of earnest effort, and of ceaseless care. Her overseers recognize that they will miss the happy associations which they had with one another, but they will feel that theirs was a successful enterprise if the Penguin of 19-H brings to you permanent memories of days impressively and happily spent at Cushing.

Reasons: lads with Gargantuan appetites, tables full of guests, loitering coeders, Mr. Dean's supervision and helpful tips from oldsters. Having completed a service session with a minimum of breakage, each waiter leaves fully prepared to work efficiently in any similar serving capacity in the future. Mealtime at the waiters' tables is a phase of Cushing life comparatively unexposed, and, for the good of all concerned- thank goodness. Not to infer undesirability, but rather to imply that if ever there were colorful goings-on, it was here. LaFortune and Szydlo have no competitors for the title of loudest. Estabrook is the heaviest eater, first to arrive and last to leave. Clive drinks all into oblivion, he downs tea and coffee by the lake. Hart eats most at breakfast, thinks nothing of consuming three cereals at a sitting. A few have sparse appetites. Among these are Tatro and Bartlett. The former has exceptions, sometimes over-eating, the latter is ever dubious as to the food's wholesomeness. Overlooking appetites and attitudes, all are likeable chaps, and are fully as congenial as boisterous. The usual, unvaried routine of waiting-on can be extremely monotonous, the un- orthodox time schedule that such a vocation demands occasionally precludes some privilege that would otherwise be taken advantage of. Because of these and other irregularities which they have faced, the 1940-41 troup of waiters receives additional comment for admirable performance. No less credit goes to head-waiters Ray Smith and Jack Moriarty, whose splendid guidance has meant the consistently flawless functioning of the dining hall. 96 Uilyxjir EV aff ff Ll X !

It was small in numbers and light in weight, but F X' H later proved to be worth its weight in gold. L T' if I ' Captain Ray Smith at halfback and Fred Ruder at quarter- V L A back were the only lettermen returning for the attempt to pre- f' -if Q. 5127 serve the undefeated record of 1940, but it was soon evident that 5, ,V my A ,,tife e z, the new material would furnish enough strength for at least one ' first class eleven. After two and a half weeks of strenuous T practice, the team began to look like a gridiron unit and reserves I enough developed for at least one replacement at each position. T O The initial clash with VVilbraham on October 5 was an un- V, 1 usually hard opening game. The visitors were big, powerful, and i well drilled, and the Penguin eleven had to play midseasonfoot- ball to win a 20412 victory. The hard running of LaFortune and Capt. Smith, and L. Picucci's accurate tosses to Smith were largely responsible for the victory, Smith scored two touchdowns in the first half-the first via a 30-yard pass from Picucci and the second on a plunge from the five yard stripe. Picucci kicked the first point and Ruder plunged over after the second F f Smith touchdown. WVith the score 14f0 against her, WVilbraham came I f . if back with two touchdowns in the second half, but in the final minutes, Ruder plunged for the third touchdown to make a 20f12 final count. For an opening game, the team per- formed exceedingly well. The line charged hard and tackled well while Ruder and Picucci blocked well for Smith and Lalfortune to carry the ball. Hopes rose that this doubtful Cushing team might become a really powerful Penguin eleven. A large crowd of rooters followed the team to Deerfield to cheer them on to their thirteenth game without defeat. A powerful Green and WVhite squad nearly upset the applecart for, on several occasions, the fleet Deerfield backs tore off touchdown runs only to be called back and suffer penalties for offside play. Both teams con- tinually threatened to break the game wide open, but an alert defense prevented any wholesale scoring when pay dirt was in sight. The Cushing score came late in the game as the result of a K forty yard pass from Picucci to snatching Ray Smith. Picucci kicked the goal for what looked like the winning point but both teams were off- V side and the second attempt went astray. Outstanding credit goes to gf Captain Smith for keeping his team together under a fierce Deerfield i t attack, to Louis Picucci for his accurate tosses when surrounded by in Q - f Deerfield defenders and to Fred Clive for his brilliant defensive end A play without which the Purple cause would surely have been lost. if On October 19th, Cushing played host to a not-so-strong Hunt- ington eleven. The visitors were set down to the tune of 26f0. 99 1 This gave Coach Heslin a chance to try out his second team as a unit ., - ' .' , and it saw considerable service in the game. Moore showed especial 1 ball carrying ability bv scoring two touch- PN S downs while Laliiortune accounted for the other two. Captain Smith was unable to play Clue ff , tl J C C xg to an ankle injury received in a practice scrimmage during the week. Rested after their 6 Y brief participation in the Huntington game, the first stringers were rarin to go against Stock! bridge School at Amherst and it s fortunate they were, for the collegians presented a strong team. The Penguin gridsters outplayed the home eleven by a wider margin than the 7-6 score would indicate, but fumbles were as prevalent as long runs by Smith, LaFortune, Gallivan, and Picucci. It was not until late in the third period that a steady advance set the stage for Ruder's quarterback sneak through the line for the touchdown, and Picucci's educated toe then pro- vided the winning point by a perfect kick. The Penquin linemen did super-service in this game, opening big holes for the backs and stopping . the heavy Stockbridge backs wherever they threatened most seriously. ' , . p f 'vw It was a close shave but a well deserved victory. Of course all good :ii i Ya things must come to an end, even long strings of football victories, but S .bfi it was a disappointment to all loyal Penguin rooters to have the team's , ...V,.. . ' record of fifteen games without a defeat snap- . ped in the manner it was. Saturday, Novem ber 2 was probably the worst day for football ,K that any Cushing eleven ever experienced. A avi' G cold, torrential downpour made Gaskill Field t'A' ja at VVorcester into one big muddy puddle and 7, V if ,,L after the hrst few plays, players and specta- 'f tors alike were drenched and it was difficult to distinguish a Penguin from W a Hilltopper. For three periods the teams battled through the mud with at Cushing having a decided advantage and threatening to score on several ' occasions, but in the final quarter, the slippery pigskin got away from a h. Cushing defender and in a jilfy the Red and Blacks were over for a touch H down. This seemed to shatter thePurple's resistance and in the remaining A five minutes, the home team piled up two more touchdowns to win 19-0. Under such adverse conditions the team played its heart out and well deserved praise goes particu- . larly to the center of the line: Tony f . ' Picucci Estabrook and Schmidt for f -P xl f ua: F Q J I .J their grand defensive play, and if P W 3.34-gi.. ever it could be said cf any team it ' .. , could truthfully be said of the Pen- quins on that day that 'All the -. . Brothers W ere Valiant. The team was not disheartened by its first defeat since 1938 but merely decided to start another string of victories by taking Lawrence. Enthusiasm ran high following the torchlight parade and bonfire, and the game proved a thrilling finale to the 1940 season. In the first half the Penguins carried the ball much as it pleased, but fumbles prevented a score until well into the second quarter when Capt. Smith finally plunged over, but Picucci's kick went wide of the posts. Just before the half ended a sharp Purple aerial attack, which was cul- minated by a long heave by Picucci and a spectacular leaping catch by Captain Smith, gave the X .,,, riff N 100 home team another touchdown and this time Picucci split the crossbar for the extra point making the score 1341 as the half ended. In the second half, Lawrence cam: back with a vengeance and before the spectators realized what was happening, had scored two touchdowns and were preparing to kick the tieing point when LaFortune broke through and blocked the kick to save the game, Lawrence continued to threaten, but an aroused Penguin line held them at bay 'til the final whistle brought a sigh of relief to the Cushing rooters. So ended the 1940 campaign with Five victories against a single defeat, Volumes might be written about the individual members of the team. Everyman was, in his own way, an outstanding per- former. ln Captain Ray Smith, the team had a capable leader, a hard runner, a fine kicker, and a .- 1 51 6 spectacular pass receiver. Of the ends, Fred Clive .3 . was a bulwark on defense, while Shorty Hubbard and Fd Szydlo were not far behind the more experi- Q enced Marblehead wing man. At the tackles, john A , Jennings and Del Torchio were sixty minute menf- alert, shifty, as well as rugged, they were always de- pendable and at times brilliant. ln the guard positions, jimmy Schmidt and Tony Picucci were always a match for opposing linemen as they flanked Phil Fstabrook in the center of the line. A fine passer, a hard charger, a superman in backing up the line, he was a veritable Rock ofGibraltar in holding the line together. In the back Held, LaFortune and Moore were the bruising type of runner, fast, shifty, with plenty of knee action and a Hne straight arm, they accounted , , for many, many yards of gain. McNally and Ruder drew the blocking assign- ment and on numerous occasions, their brilliant blocks paved the way for long 1 gains. Picucci was the spearhead of the passing attack and his accurate pitch- Q ing under fire was at times, remarkable. Of the reserves, McNeish, Oelsch- legel, Hanson, Davis, and Curtis saw the most service and were able under- The Football Banquet brought a fitting climax to a hne sea on Two events stood out on the program of this gala and festive occasion.

Front Row: Hanson, Dasey, Davis, Tallent, Moriarty, McMorrow, Bailey Second Rnw: Coach Hour, jones, Curtis, Perkins, Fla, Mr. Lamson ICR VARSITY FOOTBALL Due to the unusually small squad reporting for football this year, the Jay Vees had little reserve material to bolster their ranks, but their dauntless spirit proved to be quite adequate for the schedule played. In the opening game against Murdock High, Capt. Johnny Curtis pushed over the touchdown, and Jack Gallivan plunged for the winning point in a hard fought 7e6 battle. The first of two games with Fitchburg High Reserves, both of which ended in a 6-6 tie, was played at home. A fine .Tones to Ela pass produced the ,Iunior Penguin's touchdown in the first period. Fitchburg quickly tied the score, but neither team had the necessary punch to break the deadlock. In the second game at Fitchburg, Ela also scored in the first quarter after Chesty Moore had carried the ball down the field, Fitchburg tied it up again and pressed hard for a second touchdown, but the Penguin line was able to avert defeat. Between the two Fitchburg games was one with Templeton I-Iigh, coached by Walter Mirey '33. This was one of the most exciting jay Vee games ever played on Adams Field. Early in the first period, Ela intercepted a Hat pass and ran thirty yards for a score. Templeton came back strong and pushed over touchdowns in the second and third periods to take a 12f6 lead. The last period was furiously fought, but neither team was able to cross the last white line and the game ended as a victory for the vistors. During the season several of the Junior Penguins were promoted to the Varsity. Moore, Oelschlegel, Gallivan, Hanson, and Curtis all saw considerable Varsity service. Bailey, Fla, Jones, and Western will return next year and with the experience gained in this year's campaign should prove a valuable addition to the squad next September. 102 Front Row: G. Billingham, Dodge, W. Billingham Second Raw: Martin, Brown, Coach Creighton, Genereux, Zink CROSS-COUNTRY A few days after the opening of school, a small but gallant group gathered on the lawn outside the study hall. Cross-Country had gotten under way. Those who appeared were- Hank Brown, Bill Martin, Charlie Zink, Dick Dodge, George and VVilliam Billingham, and Charlie Genereux. CThose who received letters at the end of the season were: Capt. Hank Brown, Charles Zink, VVilliam Martin, Dick Dodge and Charles Genereuxj The days were long and the hills were steep, but under the watchful eye of Mr. Creighton, everyone did his best. Dual meets were held with Gardner High School, Mt. Hermon School for Boys, Stockbridge School and Lawrence Academy. The team also attended the lnterscholastic meet at Andover. The meet with Lawrence, a close one, was won by the margin of a single point. The score: Cushing 27, Lawrence 28. In the meets with Lawrence and Mt. Hermon, Hank Brown hove in sight a con- siderable distance ahead ofthe rest and he was always among the leaders. In the New England Interscholastic Meet, Martin appeared third, and Brown tenth in a field offifty runners. Altogether, the Cross-Country team had a very successful season. Of those running this year, the Billinghams, George and Bill, are the only veterans who will return to the grind for another year, and the Penguin wishes a Happy Season to the 1941 Hill and Dale Boys. 103 1 C o ,X : .-I .A E :an TX .LI A D.

Several factors were responsible for the creation of what has been referred to, with justification, as a dream-team and club-in-a-hundred. Perhaps the most important of these was the superb material that constituted the team,s personnel, Coach Heslin was indeeed fortunate in having so select a group of basketeers at his disposal. A second reason for the club's success was the splendid team spirit displayed by the group throughout the trying hoop session. And trying is the word. Few years have seen so stiff a schedule, two college frosh matches and the remainder played vs. powerful prep fives who offered the purple quintet plenty of cast-iron competition. As premen- tioned, with three exceptions, Cushing melted the cast-iron to wax. Spectacular individual per- formance accounted for a substantial percentage of the dozen wins. And finally, the fiuent function- ing of the squad as a unit-the smooth coordination in operationAdid much to cinch triumph on countless occasions. Although each player an ace in his own right, Mr. Heslin found it necessary to use discretion in the formation of a team that under any conceivable circumstances would click. He placed his men in positions wherein each man might use his respective specialty to the best advantageg con- sequently he merged tributaries of talent into a single channel of formidable skill. The team's commendable record is evidence of this. The initial clash saw Huntington bow 45-P-29. No pushover, Huntington injected a lubricant into Cushing's basketball machine, making the latter work more smoothly. Overcoming early season greenness, the I-leslingers then invaded New Hampton, and left triumphant, having defeated the defenders 36f24. Their third game brought them against an extremely strong Amherst Frosh fivesome. This was the test. Over-powered, over-towered, Cushing entered the contest facing odds. The opening half made authentic these predictions, playing their best, the visitors found such exertion inadequate to check the frosh advance. Despite their many handicaps, the purple five, by means of tight defensive tactics, gradually moved up from behind, and the closing moments of play found both clubs locked in a tense ZSMZS tie bloc. A last-minute swish left C. A. trailing by two points. The following week Cushing sought reprisal for the Amherst nudge, and found it by van- quishing Lawrence 57f37. Exeter then did its utmost to coventrize Cushing. Like the Amherst tilt, the game with Exeter was close, only in this instance it was Cushing that swished a final-second, decisive basket. Smith, intercepting an Exeter pass, raced a court-length to drop in Cushing's fourth victory. Dean next fell prey to the purple onslaught, kneeling 59e52. Cushing claimed its sixth triumph. when, after an exciting neck-to-neck tussle, it subjected Worcester -1-PSY. In an encore clash, Lawrence for the second time knelt to the purplayers, this time 55-45. On Carnival weekend, Cushing met a reputed Stockbridge five, remarkable C. A. shooting subjugated the intruders 33f22. A trim, well-organized Nichols jr. College outfit was Cushing's ninth victim. Fabulous marks- manship featured this fracas, both clubs endeavored to outshoot one another, providing the galleries with a shooting show they'd long remember. The Heslin hoopsters nosed ahead in the final period, leaving Nichols in the background 68f55. As the purple court craft was riding high on the wave of victory, a retaliating Worcester under- tow submerged it 32952. This, Cushing's second defeat, proved that large courts and lively back- boards Cconditions entirely contrary to those in the home gyml were apparent hindrances. More determined to regain lost laurels, Cushing defeated Deerfield 50-35 three days later. By now the basketball schedule was nearly spent, the home hoopmen were dribbling down the home stretch, as it were. Monson was next nudged 32-19. Then, as if to give further confirmation to the large-court, lively-backboard contention, Deerfield conquered the localeers 33417 for the latter's third and final loss of the season. A week afterwards C. A. hastily brought its schedule to a close, defeating Vermont Academy 42f35. Thus ended a lengthy basketball session ofseveral Ups and few Downs . Every team, irrespective of power or prestige, experiences a slump that in some instances tends to dilute the true substance of that affected team, such slumps come always when least welcome. Because of diHicult competition, distant trips, and the close proximity of the fifteen games played, an un- defeated season could hardly be imagined, little less expected. Eleven basketeers achieved varsity berths. This year, due to unusually hard-wrought opposi- tion, such an accomplishment is especially praiseworthy. The basketball season is undoubtedly Cushing's longest, starting in late fall and extending into early spring. That they might be pre- pared to meet and probably defeat all oncoming adversaries, enthusiastic hoopment spent dozens of afternoons in constant practice, shooting, scrimmaging, trying untried plays, and becoming familiar with novel offensive methods. Returning veterans from 1938-39, the nucleus around which this year's club took form, were Smith, Prescott and Brown. Smith was involved in some of the season's fastest play, and kept the applauding Cushing palms inflamed throughout the year. The latter two, although capable and quite worthy of the positions they maintained, saw somewhat less action. Big, rangy Bob Hubbard, shoulders over the tallest, a consistent basketaker, was undeniably the squad's backbone. His individual pointage well exceeds one hundred and fifty, a sizable portion of the team's total accumulation. Slice big Bob in half, add a pinch of pepper, and the boisterous result is Lefty Lalilortune, a mite of a marvel whose basketball performance was unduplicated. Small, compact, he was the team sparkplug. In direct contrast was acting Capt. Mike Spylios, casual and soft-spoken. His stability of motion and decision kept the club cool in spirited situations. Another figure of significance was blond, brawny Ed Szydlo, who tolerates no intimidations, and whose playing reflects this defiance. HTate,' Tatro, who walks and talks the way he plays-quick, sudden, exactkwas a defensive mainstay. Concluding this nut-shell survey of the varsity is f'Shifty Nlay, who, like Spylios, is calm under pressure, like lightning when the occasion permits. These players are deservant of all admirable comment that they might and have received. Each was an ingredient in Cushing's cake of triumph, each referred to victory in terms of the other fellow, although he himself might have been instrumental. Collectively they silhouette the Hnest aspects of athletics, to mention, prowess in play, good sportsmanship always, and moral victory in physical defeat. These qualities can best be illustrated in the words of Ray Smith, who, after re- ceiving felicitations for his sinking the basket that defeated Exeter, replied blandly, There,s eleven boys on this teamf, This remark assuredly represents the unanimous sentiment of this year's basketball squad.

Y. record for over a decade. Beginning with a 2848 win over Ashby, the team gained confidence and clicked as a unit until the last game. ln the season's second encounter, Murdock High fell prey to the Cushing Five 38 29 as john McNally sparked a sterling second period rally. The victory mood continued as next the team rolled over the Lawrence J. Y. club impressively. A 224 2 halftime lead went to no avail in Temple- ton High School's low-ceiling gym as the -lays sullfered a hitter 25925 defeat. In attempting to regain their form, they won a thriller at Winchendon hy a 32 31 score. At this stage ofthe season, the First string ol' Bloom, Del Torchio, Hart, McNally, and Schmidt turned into a red-hot comhination fas the results of their next four games testify. Playing practically without relief, Coach Creighton's dependalmles defeated VVorcester .-Xcademy's .I ay Yees at home and at Wlorcester hy scores of 35 29 and 3430.

Yfs entered their final game as the favorites owing to the none too impressive record of the visitors. However, the Monson team employed an ol-lense which gave them an early lead, and the home hoys faltered in their team play. They succumlied 35 V2-L making the season's record 8 won and 2 lost. This excellently coached and well-lvalanced team liroke the purplevandvwhite -lunior Yarsity giinx and can long he proud of its accomplishment. 107 wfew l-'ronl Row: Davis, Jones, Clive, lxloore, XIcNeish Second Row: Coach Lamson, Picucci, Dasey, Nloriarty, higr, McMorrow Third Row: Rando, Ela, Tallent, Perry, Lindsay HOCKEY Our hats are offto the team that won eight straight games to become the first VVachusett League Champions. Playing against teams from Marlboro, hflurdock, and .-Xthol High Schools, the Penguin sextet had just enough power to subdue the opposition. Many of the games were close to the final bell but in a late rush, Chesty Moore always seemed to produce the winning goal. Outside the league the team also made a fine record, winning twice from Fitchburg Teachers College 54 and Zel, splitting two very close games with Worcester, gaining a fine 5-Y-1 win over Nichols Junior College and being outplayed only by the powerful Lawrence sextet which captured both games, 1 0 and 84. Thus the total of twelve wins against three defeats provided the best hockey record for many years. Moore was the team's outstanding star with 28 goals and -lf assists to his credit, but many of these were the result of the Fine combination play of Davis and jones who fed him many a scoring pass. Lou Picucci, Tallent, Perry, Dasey, and Fla shared the second line and accounted for their share of the goals. Much of the team's success was due to the stalwart defense of Tony Picucci, McNeish, Lindsay, and Moriarty in front of the goalie, Fred Clive. These boys certainly threw the checks hard and broke up many a play. Although Clive failed to come up with a shutout during the season, his goal tending was sensational in every contest. For the first time in Cushing history, the team had the opportunity to practice and play its games on artificial ice. The Fitchburg Sports .-Xrena proved an ideal place and contributed much to the team's success. All games except those at Worcester and Lawrence were home games. Congratulations to Coach Lamson and the team for putting Cushing back in the hockey picture. 'With nlones, Fla, Picucci, lindsey, and Dasey available for 19-12, the Penguin looks forward to an equally fine season. l 08 -alia 1 rm1lRow.' Gray, Curtis, Bailey, Taylor D., .Yf'l'0?11f Rate: Mgr.

The season opened on -lanuary 18 with Lawrence as an opponent on the home hills. The Penguins captured every event hy a safe margin from their less experienced rivals. The following Saturday found poor snow conditions at Andover and it was necessary to cancel the meet with Phillips A-Xcademy. The team was not very successful at the Vermont Carnival and howed gracefully to the expert running of teams located in the snow belt. At our own Carnival the team staged a grand comehack and won a splendid victory to give the Purple a second leg on the Outing Cluh Trophy which has heen in competition since 1935. The team won the slalom, downhill, and jumping events hut was far outdistanced hy Vermont and Deerfield in the cross country race. The individual stars of the seven school meet were Johnnie Curtis who won the downhill, Fred Ruder with a third in hoth slalom and downhill and a sixth in thejump, Tink Bailey with a fourth in the jump and well placed in all the events, and Harold Gray who made a new hill record of 66 feet in the jump although his total score gave him only third place. Gardner High School put up a game hut losing hattle on the Cushing hills, and the team brought the season to a close at Townshend, Vermont, where Vermont forced the Purple into second place in a quadrangular meet with Deerfield and Leland and Gray. At the season's close, letters were awarded to Ruder, Bailey, Curtis, lennings, Wilson, Gray, and Taylor. Five of these will graduate in june leaving only Bailey and Gray as a nucleus for 1942, hut with many ski enthusiasts ready to benefit hy the capahle instruction of Coach XVahlgren in the running events and Mr. Cooke in the jumping, next year's squad shows many interesting possi- hilities. 109 I'3'077l Row: Hubbard, Smith, McNeish, hlay, Gallivan, Lzilfortune, Schmidt Second Row: Coach Heslin, A. Picucci, 'li21ll6l'lf, McMorrow, Tatro, McNally, L. Picucci, Manager Woodruff BASEBALL At the first round-up, the baseball squad looked better than usual. While Smith and lWcNeish were the only veterans, a number of experienced players appeared as candidates and the size and quality of the pitching squad seemed better than Coach Heslin has had for several years. Numerous infield and outfield combinations were tried out in early practice, but the final choice was not made until just before the Exeter game. At game time the following lineup took the fieldvlVIay behind the bat, McNeish in the box, Hubbard at first base, lVIcNally at second base, L. Picucci at shortstop, Tallent at third base with T. Picucci, Tatro, and Estabrook in the outfield. lVIcNeish struck out eleven Exeter batters but gave way to McMorrow in the sixth who held the home team in check as the Penguins pulled out a 9f6 victory. Against Huntington, lVIcMorroW was wild and was unable to hold a five run first inning lead and we suffered a surprise 10-6 defeat. At Vermont, with Schmidt, Gallivan, LaFortune and Smith in the lineup, Big Bob Hubbard pitched the team to a 7fZ victory as lVIcNally banged out two home runs. McNeish and Szydlo couldn't find their control against Lawrence at Groton and before bic- Morrow came in to put out the fire the home team had scored a dozen runs and then coasted to a 14-4 victory. If McNeish, Hubbard, McMorrow, and Szydlo round into their expected form, the team should be unbeatable in the remaining games against Holy Cross Freshmen, New Hampton, Vermont, Dean, VVorcester, and Deerfield. 110 Taylor, Perry, Del Torchio, Coach Hanscom, Prescott, Hart, Goodwin TENNIS XVith an inexperienced squad facing a diflicult schedule, prospects for a winning tennis team are not particularly laright. To date the team has dropped matches to Huntington School Sf 1, to Vermont 943, and to YYillsraham 841. The only veteran reporting to Coach Hanscom for early season practice was Ted Perry '-12. YVhen Prescott, winner of the Annual Fall 'I'ournament dropped liaseliall for tennis, the squad was greatly strengthened and he quickly won the number one spot followed lay Perry, Taylor, Goodwin, Del Torchio, and Hart. Individually and collectively, the team has shown a vast improvement since the season opened and Coach Hanscom is confident that this will continue as the season advances. The lvalance of the schedule, as arranged lwy Manager lfowler, is as follows: May 1-L New Hampton May 17 Vermont Academy May 21 Dean Academy hlay 2-L Worcester .-Xcadeniy at Wvorcester May Z8 hliddlesex School at Concord Nlay 30 Lawrence Academy at Groton 111 Front Row: Zink, Dodge, Martin, G. Billingham, Moore Second Raw: Mgr. Farrell, Genereux, Oelschlegel, Olson, Clive, Perkins, W. Billingham, Western, Coach Creighton TRACK The 1941 track season opened after three weeks of hard preliminary training and practice with a dual meet against Dean Academy at Franklin. In spite ofa 62-30 defeat at the hands ofthe more experienced Dean boys, the team turned in some fine performances. The redoubtable Chesty Moore placed third in the century, won a hard earned second in the 440, and streaked to a smashing victory in the 220. Henriy Olson and Captain Bill Martin showed the way to Dean's best as they placed one-two in the mile. Olson came back to place second in the half mile with George Billingham close behind him. Wlilliam Billingham placed third in both the 440 and 220. Fred Clive won the pole vault, placed second in the high jump and third in the javelin. The team journeys to Boston on May 24 to pit its skill against the other New England prep schools at the M. I. T. Interscholastics and then travels to Northfield to participate in the Mt. Hermon Interscholastics. The main stays of the running squad are Captain Martin and Olson in the mile and half mile, the Billingham twins in the halfmile, Moore in the quarter mile and dashes, Dodge in the 220. Clive shines in the pole vault and high jump, Zink, VVeste1'n, and the Billinghams in the broad jump, Perkins and Oelschlegel in the shot put and Clive in the javelin. The season has been a highly successful one from the viewpoint of physical training and develop- ment andthe boys have had alot of fun practicing under Coach Creighton if they have not won any national reputation. 112 Couclws: I.IlI11SOI1, Heslin, Hamsrom, Creighton, Xvillllgllill Ross, Arey, Goodwin, Tipple, Moulton, Huusmzm, Laing 'af I ra IWor1tRnw: Whitman, Barstow, Dunlap, Graham, Hurlin, lfincli .5'efm1dRnw.'

A few days after school opened in September, each girl was placed on either the Purple or Wlhite team, which tliroughout the year have played each other in various sports. Also an Athletic Council was chosen to form a plan by which each girl could gain points towards an athletic letter. Those chosen were Ann Wlhitman, Hetty Thayer, Martha Gibbs, Barbara Graham, and Suzy Dunlap. Starting with hockey, the girls swung into the Athletic season amid exclamations of block it, dribble it, and stop that ball. For a number of weeks the Purples and Wlhites battered each other about in preparation for the tourney with our neighbors, the lady YYildcats. On November Sth, we lost to the superior Gardner team, but from this game we gained much needed experience and some much more needed shin guards. Riding was going on in the fall season at a gallop. llnder the direction of Mr. Wlahlgren, the animal horse show was arranged for October 18th, and was a great success with Marty Gibbs riding off with the First class blue ribbon, and Betty Weeks proving herself the most proficient balloon defender. As old man winter rolled in, we started our basketball season. A number of games were played between the Purples and Wlhites with the Wlhites winning the greatest number of points. 114 February 7th the Gardner basketball team arrived. Both the First and second Cushing teams worried them somewhat, but they soon overpowered us, leaving us to wonder with mouths agape. However, we had a grand team and proved we could take it just as the Gardner hoopsters took to our sandwiches after the fray. During the winter season, we also learned the technique of volley ball and many enjoyable afternoons were spent playing the game, with the rafters ringing cheers for both sides. Much of the winter, however, was spent outdoors skiing. Before the season was over, the campus was dotted with near experts. VVe soon even had a cross country team which beat the school's record! Our team could slide around the course in an hour at the least! Saturday afternoons we had skating in the arena at Fitchburg. Tap dancing also found its way into our gym. Slow and painful were the first few days of learning, but it was not long before we could put a few steps together. VVhen spring Hnally came, we went outdoors and enjoyed such sports as softball, tennis, archery, and soccer. A number of games were held between the Purple and VVhite Penguinettes to offer fun and competition. Occasional hikes and swimming varied the program. At Last Chapel Miss VVood presented Cushing awards to a select group of girls who had won distinction throughout the whole year for good sportsmanship and athletic prowess. Could we give an award, it would wholeheartedly go to Miss YVood for the way in which she made the 1941 girls' athletic program a sporty, healthy, and happy one. ll5 AREY BAYBUTT DAVIS DUNLAP GIBBS GRAHAM HURLIN LAING MARR ROSS TIPPLE TOLMAN 116 f FE URE To X 0 5 f X MO TAIN DAY Gur annual Mountain Day outing was held October 10 in honor of the birthday of Dr. Hervey S. Cowell who for nearly forty years was principal of Cushing. Mount Monadnock was our objective and after an impressive Chapel service at which we learned of Dr. Cowell's service to Cushing, and of his love for Monad- nock, we piled into busses and private cars and headed Northward. After abotgi-liciins ride and amidst much singing and laughing, we arrived at the entrance to the reservation. At this point the bus riders were forced to dis- embark for the mile long climb to the Halfway House while the more fortunate private car passengers were spared this strenuous ordeal. After a sandwich and a banana, we were divided into groups to begin our attack on the summit. VVe all started oiof at a fast pace, but as the trail became steeper and our puHing became deeper, there was a noticeable slack- ening of our pace, and by the time the top was finally reached, most of us were ready to enjoy a bed on the bare rocks. Suzy Dunlap was the first of the coeds to scale the sum- mit, while Jimmy Taylor upheld the honor for the boys. ing in the warm October sunshine, the descent was begun and accomplished in much less time and with vastly less puffing than the ascent. At the Halfway House, a sumptuous lunch was served and how it disappeared before our ravenous appetites. A brief rest period preceded a football rally for the Deerfield game the fol- lowing Saturday. Mr. Quimby was master of ceremonies and Mary Tipple led us in songs and cheers for the team, Mount Monadnock, and all those responsible for such a line outing and such an eventful and memorable day.

The pair ad libbed the lapse of time while the scenery was being changed with the help of Sir VVater Clive, l.ady Ross, Gwen, and Mr. Dean.

To the delight of all, the team scored a thrilling 3-e2 victory over their long standing rivals, YYorcester Academy. Immediately following the game, a Tea Dance, sponsored by the Germanae and Minervian Societies, was held in the common room at Ashburnham House. The room was appropriately decorated with numerous red and white lacy hearts. The outstanding feature of the dance was the music, which was furnished by the Cushing students. Friday evening the Expression Department presented a delight- ful play entitled L'The Housemasterf' The production was a great success, and much credit is due the director, Miss Cann. Orchids to lfritz Oelschlegel, who did a professionals job in his roll as the headmaster, and to the very able cast which supported him. The snow promised by the weatherman failed to appear by Saturday morning, but that didn't impair the enthusiasm of the V spectators or stop the contestants from Vermont, Deerfield, Leland and Gray, Gardner High and Cushing. They proceeded according to schedule with the slalom and cross country events in the morning and the downhill race and jump in the early afternoon. Our undefeated basketball team met Stockbridge School during the latter part of the afternoon and came through with a smashing victory, 33-22. 120 Immediately following the basketball game, ten girls, smartly dressed in ski togs, appeared on the gym tloor and formed an arch with ski poles. Tiny Paula I-leslin and Virginia Hanscom wandered slowly under the arch scattering snowflakes. :Xmid the blast of trumpets, a huge snowball was pulled in on a toboggan.
