The team was minus the services of the cap- tain most of the season, as he received injuries in the Mansfield game which kept him out until the Thanksgiving Day battle. The two great disappointments of the season were the two defeats which our rivals, New Bedford, handed to us. Both games were lost on flukes, and although our warriors battled hard they lost the decision in both cases. Brockton High proved to be the hardest team that we met, and they certainly knew the game. Fairhaven was not as much as it was cracked up to be, but they blanked us once. Mansfield High would have been good meat for Coach Foley ’s Fresh- man team. On looking back at the game, the score should have been 75 to 0. “Eddie” O'Brien was the heavy scorer of the team at the fullback po- sition. Spyros held his own at halfback, along with Harrington, another good scorer. Van Blareom run the team when available. Bill Brennan played well at the pivot position, flanked by “Tootle Littlefield and “Joe” Sykes in the guards. Mark Shay and “Louie Hathaway banged away at the tackles with plenty of reserve force. Davis was also a good man in the 1 aekfield. Captain Murphy played end when in the game, while McMillan and Feitelberg subbed in the line. The summary of the season: Durfce 14, Hope 0.

The team opened the season at Woonsocket, On the 13th of Jan- uary, after barely a week of practice, they handed the high school champs of Rhode Island a sound lacing to the tune of 3G to 24. New Bedford High was the next victim, but the game was the hardest fought victory that the team achieved. The final score was 19 to 15. Coach Foley took his team to Weymouth by machine in the big snow storm, and again Durfee proved superior to the home team and took the game 37 to 27. Attleboro came to Fall River with a big reputation, but they even left that here when Captain Spyros and his crowd played the kind of basketball that makes champions. The Stoughton, Fairhaven and Attleboro High teams fell before the onslaught of the Durfee boys’ fast play, and there was a possibility that our team was to get the state championship. Then New Bedford ad- ministered the first reverse of the season to our team on Washington’s Birthday, 41 to 36. At Dorchester our team showed some of its mid-season pep, but after two five-minute overtime periods the Boston College High quintet were in the lead 27 to 24. In the following week the Boston team again de- feated the locals, thereby eliminating them from the state championship race, 29 to 26, By victories over Attleboro, New Bedford and Fairhaven the Dur- fee team secured a firm grip on the basketball title of Southern Massachu- setts. Captain Spyros was tlie high scorer for the season, and he was close- ly followed by his running partner, ‘Walt” Murphy. 41 Windy1' Davis held the pivot position, while the guards, Giblin, ‘‘Eddie O’Brien and “Louie” Hathaway, held their opponents to low scores. The above are the letter men. There was a wealth of material for the team, most of which will remain for next season. Summary: Durfee 36, Woonsocket High 24. Durfee 19, New Bedford High 15.

Root. COMMISSIONED OFFICERS CADET BATTALION 1919-1920 This year is credited as being the most successful since the origin of the Cadet organization, both financially and in point of numbers. The following officers were chosen as a result of the severe written and oral examinations given in October: Major, Frank A. Fyans Adjutant, George F. Cakkeiro Supply Officer, Maurice Snell COMPANY A Captain, Loyal W. Grant First Lieutenant, George II. Emerson, -Ir. Second Lieutenant, Raymond G. IIampson COMPANYB Captain, Joseph Medeiros First Lieutenant, John F. Keavy Second Lieutenant, Leroy Wood The armory then became a busy place; whipping the new men into shape, for both companies were determined to win the most (coveted) of all prizes—the Brown Cup. The major and his staff were not idle, for they were making prep- arations for the series of successful drills which followed. The Efficiency Drill was held Nov. 26; Company B, prize drill on December 29; Com- pany A prize drill on February 13, and the Freshman drill on June 4. The Battalion drill, the largest of the season, was held in the Arm- ory, and was above the expectations of everyone. Company B went stubbornly down to defeat in this drill. The in- dividual winners of the prizes were, Talbot Medal, Corporal Kenneth Channell, Company B; Evans Medal: Drummer Carter Noble, and Hon- orable Mention, Corporal Arthur Shea, Company B. As a fitting climax for this successful year the Battalion will go to Oak Bluffs for its annual encampment, July 4. There the Cadets will receive training which it is impossible to give in the limited space of the Armory. DEBATING TEAM Stop! Look! and Listen! Stop yon may not; look yon need not; but listen you shall. Not for nothing? do our young debaters bear the palm in speaking, nor, having overcome so many obstacles, are they to be denied at the last minute. Late in the middle of the year, with no regular debating society in existence, and having no visible means of support, the 1920 Debating Team was called into existence by an urgent challenge to debate. Dis- regarding inconveniences and overcoming all obstacles, the Forum was resurrected, and, in a few weeks of intensive training and campaigning, material was gathered, a tram selected, and funds raised. But troubles did not cease here. At the last instant it became neces- sary to change the date and place of the approaching debate. Nothing daunted, however, by this setback, the team set to work and with laudable thoroughness arranged the event, hearing itself in the trial with remark- aide ability and reflecting honor upon the school and itself. And now, having listened, let us pass on, wishing our young friends the merited success which we feel confident they will attain. The officers for the Forum this year are the following: Forum Debating Society President, Charles E. Dowd Vice-President, J. Raymond Ooppinger Secretary, Jeremiah Harrington Director, Lawrence J. Jackson Debating Team 1919-20 Captain, J. Raymond Cqppingek Joseph A. Cohen Charles E. Dowd Alternate, Abraham Mines 99 . O Fill. HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The class of ’20 is fortunati1 in having one of the largest and best orchestras ever formed since the founding of the school. Under the able leadership of Mr. Titcomb, the orchestra bas attained to handling a high grade of music, unusually well. Besides the weekly rehearsals and the few assemblies, the orchestra has given three concerts. On April 1st, 1920, the members of the musical club entertained at the Home for the Aged, where they were warmly received. On the evening of the same day they played at the debate between Taunton and Durfee High. Tin climax of the orchestral year came on February 20, when the club, assisted by our classmate, Miss Florence Tibbetts, gave its an- nual concert. Miss Tibbetts' rich contralto voice, added to the fine play- ing of the ensemble, made the concert a, success. The personnel of the Club is as follows: Violins: Cecil e Forest, Joseph Duhitsky, John Cantwell, Mary Doran, Hugo Only, Francis Milligan, Howard Kelly, William Sweeney, William Biltelilfe, Milton West gate, Louise Sweeney, Thelma Wat- kins, William Tumley, Cornelius Sullivan. Violas: Margaret Stockman, Chester Lees. ’Cello: Mabel Sowter. Basses: Helen Titcomb, Estelle Robinson, Robert MacMillan. Flute-. Robert Healy. Clarinets: Henry Wade, Abbott Barter. Horns: Allen Smith, Robert Estes, George W. MaeDulf. Cornels: George Rigby, James Lord, Wilson Sherman, Deborah Healy, Trombones: Edward Whalen, Waverley Root, Elmer Hopewell, Saxophone: Charles Wade. Drums: Carter Noble. Piano: Raymond Coppinger. Organ: Hazel Wilcox. 101 The Commercial Club was formed by students in the senior, junior and secretarial classes of the Commercial Department this year, its purpose is to improve the students in fluency of speech, increase their knowledge of commercial and political subjects, and create interest in Fall River's business problems and commercial future. This is done by means of debates, impersonations and talks given by students, and lectures given by influential business men of the city. The social side is not neglected. The organization elects its own officers, and these officers preside and run all meetings of the club. The officers who were elected for 1920 were Francis Fitzgerald, “20, president; Earl Griffiths, '21, vice-president; Jessie Monarch, 20, secretary, and Mr. (;. B. Edgeworth of the faculty, treasurer. The club meets the first and third Wednesdays of every month, the seventh period and at the close of school. Topics of the day are open for discussion and the students express their own opinion regarding them. Included in the speakers who have talked before the club this year are the Manager of the Chamber of Commerce and the local manager of the New England Telephone Telegraph Co. The club has proved to be quite a popular one among the students, and all indications point to a permanent and successful organization. I) U R F EE R E C O R D Freshman: “Say. buddy, how long is your bark fence?” Sophomore: “Oh, about a yard, I guess. ” Wilcox: ‘1 This is a poor type-writer, the letter ‘I’ is all worn out. 5 Sullivan: “What else could you expect,—it used to belong to Weth- erlee.

The Freshmen may have brains. And think that “Math” is bunk, But when it conies to exams, 1 wonder why they flunk. Mr. Swiek: “What three words are used among Durfee students most ?7 7 Borden: “ 1 don T know. Mr. Swiek; “Correct.” Wet herbee (Impatiently looking around the laboratory): “I can’t find the H20 bottle anywhere,” Mr. Carroll: “You might try the faucet.. OVERHEARD AT THE CADET DRILL Grant : “I’m afraid you do not like my dancing.” She: “Upon the contrary, I find it very amusing.” FRESHMAN POETRY When first he came to see her, lie showed a timid heart; And when the lights were burning low, They sat this far apart. But when their love grew warmer, And they learned the joy of a kiss, They knocked out all the spaces And satupcloselikethis. 104 DUKFEE RE CORD Freshman (in Adams’ Bookstore) : 4Have you Lamb's TalesV7 Proprietor: “What do you think this is, a meatsliop?” Mr. MacIntyre, reprimanding a. scholar, called him a scoundrel. The Scholar: “Sir, I’m not as big a scoundrel as you”— then the culprit stopped, but finally added—“take mo to be”. “Put your words closer together ’ said the teacher. Freshman: “So long, 1 must be off.” Sophomore: “I always thought you were.” Some pass a course by study, Some kid along the prof; But the bird who asks the questions. He's the one that has it soft. Little deeds of kindness For teachers now and then, Will often raise your standing From a zero to a ten. Mr. Goddard: “Is there anyone in this class who does not believe that the earth is round?” Littlefield: “Yes, I’m one.” Mr. Goddard: “Then you think it's flat?” Littlefield : “No, crooked.’’ The boy stood on the ballroom floor, His head was in a whirl, Tils eyes and month were full of hair, His arms were full of girl.

He who courts and runs away, May court again another day; But lie who weds and courts girls still, May go to court against his will. Smith: “Hey, Mac, why are you wearing those loud socks?” MacMillan: “To keep my feet from going to sleep.” 105 KEELEY LIBRARY DU R F E E RECORD Tf yon do not like these jokes, And their dryness makes you groan, Just stroll around occasionally With good ones of your own. Mr. 0’Gorman, explaining the cruelty of slavery, said: “Now, for instance, here is a poor old broken down man.” A knock on the door interrupts, and in walks John Bruce. THE TWENTY-THIRD PSALM Mr. Wilbur is my teacher, I shall not pass, he maketh me to explain hard translations, and exposeth my ignorance before the class. He restore til my sorrow; he eauseth me to give rules for my good sake. Yea, though 1 study till midnight, I shall gain no knowledge, for verbs and vocabularies sorely trouble me. He prepareth a test for me in the presence of the whole school; he giveth me a low grade. My sorrow runneth over; surely sadness and gloom shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall remain in the Latin class forever. A SCHOLAR’S VERSION Deep in our dusty dungeon, Down in the German room, We slave where the light, Makes perpetual night. At our infinite ill-chosen doom. Our world is an ocean of paper, In sheets, and in books, and in quires; Our food and our drink, White glue and black ink, To satisfy teacher’s desires. We read and we figure till noon-day, We toil and we sweat until night, In a trance or a dream, We build up a theme, But always to find it’s not right. We wrestle with Spanish and German, And parlous “jiu jitsu” in French, The accents we lack, But we’re there with the snack, Like the boys in a Picardy trench. 106 DU R FEE RE C 0RD Alylra, Ifta, (Harnnta, IflJa A is for Akny, a girl so gay; B is for Boylan, not liking display; (' stands for Cantwell, a musical chap; I) equals Dowd, who's far worse than that.
