DURFEE HIGH SCHOOL. DURFLE BUILDING I. DUKFEE HIGH SCHOOL, TECHNICAL BUILDING CD n D ljR FEE RECO RD Durfee, we are now and ever shall be grateful to you for the benefits we have derived from the four happy years spent within your walls. It is with keen regret that we bid you farewell, yet there is a certain sense of pleasure in knowing that those who will follow in our footsteps will enjoy and learn what we have. Not one dull moment have we spent with you—-you who have brought to an end the education of some, but have lighted the way to advancement of learning for others. With what pride in future years shall we point to you, who will have so greatly helped to make us the ideal citizens we purpose to be! May you ever be worthy of the praises your graduates will bestow upon you, and may you forever bless our posterity with the shining light of knowledge as you have us who bid you farewell! MR.

Unwittingly, however, we have never dis- played our feelings toward the Faculty, not because we have not loved and respected the Faculty, but rather because the Faculty has always meant study to us. We now regret that we have overlooked so important a factor in our school life, for we realize that the Faculty has worked hard for our benefit, and that it is to them that we owe our success as graduates. To the Faculty we give our sincercst thanks for their kind endeavors. We, the class of 1921, are indeed proud of the Faculty of the B. M, C. Durfee High School. OUR FACULTY Abbe. Alice T.

DIRFEE RECORD ROOK STAFF DURFEE RECORD ©nr principal That we, the Class of 21, have safely weathered the storms and gales of High School difficulties is due in great measure to the patience and perseverance of the two principals we have had since we entered. AVe remained under the guidance of Dr. Plummer our Freshman principal for only one year, but during that time we profited by his advice and laid good foundations for our careers. We pursued our courses of study successfully for three more years under the careful guidance of Mr. Moul- ton, that conscientious and untiring principal, who has by his kindness and interest won his way into the hearts of all. D U I FEE R E C 0 R D J] iretiun b We, the Class of 1921, take this opportunity to express our appre- ciation and gratitude to all those who have in any way helped to make this Record a success. It is usually difficult for a group of inexperienced pupils to compile a book such as this—hut the support of the school and especially the ad- vice and help of Mr. Moulton, Mr. Wallace and Mr. 0 Gorman, have helped to overcome all difficulties encountered. We recognize in this, but one of the many ways that our school and our teachers have helped and benefited us. And so, when we shall Imve reached our goal in life, we shall al- ways remember that the foundation of our success was laid at Durfee—■ bv those dear friendly teachers of ours. I) U H I E E R E C O R D S'Jatlum Ackerman “HATE After ‘'Nate” graduated from the Davis Grammar School the next most important incident in his life was to enter Burfee on a bright, sonny morning in September, 1917. Nathan is a solemn,, sedate student, and a jaunty, joyful jasszer. His aim is to join a large business institution and then to make a million, or so in the good old New Eng- land way. 31 nipt Jhmtei “JOHN D” “JACK DEMPSEY” In the spring of 1917 John graduated from the Daven- port Grammar school and the following fall came to Dur- IV c where he took the scientific course. John 1ms spent four rather quiet years with us here in school, but outside of school he is not quite so quiet. He says “John X)” stands for “Jack Dempsey1 and therefore spends a great deal of his spare time boxing consequently he has become one of -the cleverest boxers of our class. Outside of box- ing John declares bis favorite pastimes are motoring and drawing. After leaving us tills spring he intends to enter one of our big engineering colleges and become an electric- al. engineer. All Durfee wishes him success. “On with the fight.” Arthur JJosi'plj Alim “AL” “AlM is one of the quiet members of our class, and refuses to let, us know any of his ideas. We know, how- ever, that lie is of a, mechanical sort of mind, and he is very much interested in drawing. On Tuesday afternoons he will be found in room 33 with Mr. Woods trying to dis- cover an easier way to illustrate machine drawings. Next year he intends to enter the Pall River Textile School, and tve all hope good luck and success will follow him there. ftMy own eoimcU is the best. That‘s- the reason I keep the rest.1 20 I) U Ii F E E RECORD HJaurt J§ npl|ui All mi iQL 4 0 “JAN TEARS Wlmt, you didn't know little Janet was a Southerner? This sweet disposed girl (fame to us four years ago to pursue her studies here; nor did she fail to living with her a smile as warm as the Sunny South, Janet is quite in keeping with the rule that “good things come in small packages.1 Her favorite pastime is drawing figures for problems in Solid Geometry. But how about the prob- lems, Janet? After site receives her diploma she will re- turn to the South where she expects to enter Southern Col- lege, Virginia, Let us hope, she will bring joy and happi- ness to otlters as she has to us, “Her mice was ever gentle, soft and low.” JSianley Seatt All tut “JOBE” “Jobe ’' has improved in very many ways since he came to Durfee, When he first entered into freshman life he was all right except that ho was a woman-hater. N evertite I ess, this fault has been corrected since,—although to look at him you might not think so. Borne one asked 1 ‘ Stan ’ ’ one day if he played any musical instrument. “Btnn” replied that he did—the v ietrola. It’s hard to tell how much. “Jobe” cares for Trig and Solid, but everyone knows that where there's fun, “Stan” is there; and that when things start to happen he'll be right there. Here’s to you, “Stan.” “A little nonsense now and then, Is relished by the wisest men.” Jliyslcrt (JMuri£l Almy “LEN” “BOBBIE “BOBBY” This is Helen’s first year with us; the other three she spent at the Little Compton High School. But when she saw that she was missing the great honor of graduating with '21 she was overcome with horror and immediately enrolled in our honored ranks. She is not the shy, quiet, country girl you expect to see when you hear she comes from Little Compton. On the contrary, she is quite jolly and lively—al- ways ready for a good time, Bobbie has quite a variety of favorite pastimes—dancing, reading, and automobiling be- ing among the foremost. As her ambition is to become n nurse, she will enter some preparatory school for nurses next. year. We prophesy that the pulses of her male patients will be far above normal when Helen counts the beats. “Full of dignity and grace,” 21 I) U R.FEE RE c: O R D 1Ccferis ttfcerstw This quiet miss, who boasts of no nicknames, came to ns from the William ft, Greene School.

Bob hails from the metropolis of Tiverton, by gum, and he is “Glad he does. He re- ceived his first rudiments of learning in the AT. Br Borden Grammar School.

She 1ms a great liking for out-door sports but her favorite pastime is read- ing. Because of her ability in drawing she was one of the appointed editors. In order to continue this subject next.

We are grateful to the Davenport School for having sent this “petite Miss to join our class. Mollie was a. member of the college course' for three years, but in her senior year she entered the Secretarial division, where she proved to be one of tin most popular and brilliant members of her class. She is still in her early teens but lias much knowledge stored a wav. She intends to enter Boston University in the autumn.

But, fortunately, Tech was des- tilled to he deprived of this honor, for at the last moment he changed his mind—a tiling which is not uncommon to him—and entered Durfee. Here he was caught by the cur- rent of student life and whirled through its various stages. If any of his classmates fail to remember him lie will cer- tainly never he forgotten by his German teacher, Miss Locke, from whose class he was occasionally removed on account of his mischievous pranks. He holds the undis- puted championship for tardiness and has a large a,ml in- valuable collection of tardy slips. Whatever he attempts in future life we are sure his nerve and good luck will bring him through. tf 'Tis better late than never.” Hnlanfr 33arrettc Who’s that quiet, nice looking fellow over there?

Although one might think ‘ Bill was slow (in which one is very much mistaken) just watch him glide his feet over the shiny floor of a dance lnill and I think lie will change his opinion. He means to enter the College of Business Ad- ministration at Boston University in the near future; and wTe look forward to seeing ‘BI11'T firmly established in the world of success. ‘‘ The faith we have in his tennis JJ rulb tBehrick Loud alarums! Don't be so careless with that typewriter, Harold! Harold, who dropped in upon us from the Westall Grammar School, is some typewriter tickler, and. if it may be said, he manipulates a. wicked finger. During his twenty- fifth of a century with ns, he has been a very eager football, basketball, baseball and cadet drill fan, As a. swimmer, Harold is in a class by himself. During the long, drowsy afternoons of midsummer lie is invariably to be found splashing in the surf of Steep Brook. Harold leaves us to enter the business, world next June. Go to it, Harold, and make a name for yourself and the good old class of '21. f Business before pleasure—sometimes. 21 D U R F E E RECO RD J§ahie l uth Heeler “SBLMA” “SADE” Here is good-natured Selma, always ready for a good time. Although happy-go ducky, site is liked by all who know Iter. Sadie is a good worker and always manages to be t .lassed with the liAn pupils. Selina intends to become a Journalist, so Columbia University will be honored with her presence nest year. She says playing tennis is her hobby, while dancing is her pastime. “The Peaceful are the Strong.“ 3!rctte (6mmtttte Hermtrb “SNOOKUMS” Irene is another lovely girl. As she is a curly-head, nat- urally one knows she must be jolly; and she really is, for her smile is worth looking for. Besides all this, she has a great amount of brains. Added to her other qualities it makes a good combination. Her intention is to be a good stenographer and if she keeps up with Iter good work she will succeed. Irene is one of the best natured girls of the Class of J2!. She is- also one of the greatest athletes among, the girls and is seen quite often' at some out-door sport. Sometimes she is seen doing indoor sports and she is good at both. k Or thou art fairer than the evening air, Clad in the beauty of a thousand fit are. ’ W C r Mtiliam Illutior Hiltrliffe “BILL” Here is a boy who will long be remembered for his witty remarks and general good-nature. Ever since he graduated from the Susan H. Wixon school, he lias made the most of his opportunities, both for acquiring knowledge and for having fun. ‘ Bill ’! is quite fond of music, especially fiddling and whistling. When 1 Bill ’ ’ begins to whistle, everyone usually stops to listen. Besides all this Bill is a lover of dancing, as is proved by his regular attendance at all of the school dances. As he is very much inter rested in electricity, his future plans will probably be in that work. 25 I) I RFEE RE C O R D liertlm Estrlle iBislnip “BURT “B you wore looking for a sweet, lovable person?

Tn summer ' ‘ Bud ’ ’ swims; in winter she coasts. When weather interferes with both of these, sin may be found curled upon her sofa, absorbed in some thrilling novel. Somebody of a prophetic nature ventures to say that “Bud” will one day head a delegation of nurses on a relief mission to some unfortunate people—for Esther will continue her studies at Boston Homeopathic Hospital. “Better to he first in a little Iberian village than be second in Rome.' 28 DU R FEE RECOHD m 'X pSilliam Brooks “BILL” Bill is an out and out outdoor sportsman Although he Admits that lie wouldn’t part, with books for the whole world, yet, he believes in leaving the “covers” cnee in a while and m having a little fun.

Durfee has met and defeated some of the fastest “High” teams in the state, including Woonsocket. Attleboro, Boston Col- lege High, and our Whaling City rivals, New Bedford. Durfee seemed slow to start, but after diligent practice, coupled with a change in posh ion of the team, Durfee s working apparatus became well oiled. This was shown in many games; e. g., in the R. C. High game, the players worked like clockwork; the passing was excellent: the defense supreme; and each player gave the best that was in him. The memory of two de- feats of 1920 by practically this same team inspired Durfee to victory. Durfee became aware that an entry to the Tufts College Tournament seemed possible, so, after competing with Franklin for the right to rep- resent S. E. Massachusetts in this tournament, we entered. Although defeated in the second round of the championship race, Durfee deserves due credit for the fine showing she gave this year. Following arc the players: Harold Giblin, Right Guard “Gihbie,” our captain, deservedly earned his position on the Inter-City Team of New Bedford and Fall River. As a forward “Gib has been the backbone of the team and to him is due most of the credit of keeping the opponent’s scores low. He lias been an in- spiration to the team and cannot be forgotten, as his wonderful de- fense work will dwell in our memories at all times. Don’t play too much with the Celtics, “Gib. 115 DURFEE FOOTBALL TEAM DUR FEE RE C ORD John Brennan “Jack,” as a co-worker with Giblin, proved himself a worthy defender of Durfee ?s goal. Never lacking? speed and a good eye, Jack bids fair to be Durfee’s strong support for 22, as he is a Junior now. Wbndell Davis “Windy”, our long (skyward) center, is another member of Durfee who was picked for the Inter-city Team. When it comes to dropping in baskets, especially fouls, his “eagle eye” never fails him, lint for “Windy’s” wonderful shooting, Durfee would have been on the losing end in many of her games. T jESTEK IvASIN “Kashi”, our smallest and fleetest player on the quintet, well deserves ids position as right forward on the Second Team of New England's Champions, picked at Tufts. As a member of the squad, we usually remember him by Ids dashing expeditions down the floor, Ids quick pass work, and the ball passiil through the opponent’s cage. 4 Nothing to it ’ ’ says t4 Kassie9 Edwin Boothroyd “Bootlde” first received attention in the first Senior-Junior game and from then on became a co-worker of Kasin. His passwork was what he excelled in; at the same time having a good eye on long shots. One thing which we shall remember in “Boothie” is his un- selfishness in allowing the other fellow to make the baskets. Lowney C i 'MMings, it b-Guard “Lowney”, although he did not participate in all of Durfee’s games, showed the kind of mettle that was in him in the games that he did play. “Lowney” wishes he were a Junior so he could bring back the Tufts cup in 22, Tough luck, “Lowney.” WALiTER KIRKY, Sub-Ceuter “Walt”, as a jumper at the center position, will surely be Dur- fee s middle support in 1922, being a member of the Junior class now. He did not have a chance to show his worth this year, hut 1922 should see him firmly established as a center player, EiiiOTT Hathaway, Sub-Forward “Eliott'’ did not play in many games this year, but Ids chance is coming when 1922 rolls around. His speed, together with two years’ experience and a good eye for shooting, should surely give him a forward position next year. 1 ‘ Pierre ’T Marcotte, S u b-Guard Last, but not least comes our team’s comedian. Not having the advantage to take part in more than two short periods of the same number of games, “Pierre” could not -show Iris wares. We hope to see £ Pierre working opposite Brennan in 22. ’ I ’ll bring the Tufts’ cup home,” says Pierre. 117 ■ 1) U «FEE RE C O R 13 After closing a very successful basketball season, all eyes of Durior are now turned toward baseball. Owing to the late closing of the basket ball season and to the April vacation, there will be but a week’s practice for the baseball squad, with the exception of the battery, before the ripen- ing game against the freshmen of Brown. University. Coach Sample managed to get the battery men out for a little practice before the vaca- tion, and has some promising material on band. The only veteran bat- tery man now in school is Lester Kas'm, whose position is behind the bat. Of the rest of the team, there will be five veterans back and a great deal of new promising material will also be on hand to fill in the vacan- cies and to gi ve I lie veterans a rnn for their positions. The infield vet- erans are Captain ‘‘Windy” Davis, who will cover the initial sack; “Weena” Craiikshaw, who played the keystone comer last season; and “Stew” MeCowan, last year’s short fielder. In the outfield, the vet- erans are Harold Giblm, captain and center fielder of last year’s team: and Elliot Shovelton, who played right field last season. With this material on hand, Coach Sample should have but little trouble in build- ing a team worthy of representing Durfee. Durfee has one leg on the cup of the Bristol County Scholastic Base- hall League, and this year we all hope 1 hat we can get a stronger grip on that cup. New Bedford won out last year, which makes her even with Durfee, in the race to gain permanent possession of the cup. To do this it is necessary to win the league on three different occasions. The only other team which has a grip on the cup is Taunton. She has won out twice. There are seventeen games on this year’s schedule, ten of which are league games and the remaining seven are with the best school teams about this section. The schedule is as follows: April IB Brown Freshmen—Home. 16 M os es B r own—P rpvid en e e 25 St. Mary's—Home. 27 Attleboro-—Home BO North Attleboro—North Attleboro May 4 Holy Family—New Bedford 7 New Bedford—New Bedford 11 N jrth A11leboro—Home 18 St. George—Newport 21 T a uiiton—11 ome 25 St. Mary1 s—T an nton 28 Attleboro—Attleboro Jim e 1 F ai rh even—H om e 8 New Bedford—Home 11 Fairha veil—Fa irhaven 14 Holy Fami 1 y—H ome 16 Tau liton—T a uu ton 118 Class ©be Wo now have reached the cross-roads Where our paths will sever wide And ear'll will stall life’s journey Where joys and griefs abide. May all tie knowledge we have gained Within these hallowed walls Be guiding rays for future days Wherever duty calls. We’ve labored here for four short years And all formed friendships true Now in life’s golden memory hook May each his love renew. For thee, dear Alma Mater, Well gladly sing thy praise May all our efforts worthy he Along life’s broad highways. Now we must bid a fond farewell To classmates, teachers, ton. May fortune smile benignly And bless each one of you. Oh, Alma Mater, Mater dear. The debt we owe to thee, May we repay in service true Throughout eternity. —Beryl Wood. 119 D UIFEE REC O R D ®1je Pageant Great credit is due to the pupils and teachers who worked so faith- fully to make “The Pageant of the Pilgrims” a success. It was indeed a worthy tribute to that noble band of exiles, who came to our shores three hundred years ago. The first episode portrayed the coming of the first pilgrims, the ad- venturous Norsemen. Very bold and warlike did they seem with their glittering armor and fearful weapons. Their rendering of “The Song of the Seamen,” by Verdi, was especially fine. In the second episode, our Pilgrim forefathers seemed to live again before our very eyes. We saw the signing of the Mayflower Compact, the first Thanksgiving Bay, and the well-known scene between John Al- den and Priscilla. Nearer to our own experience, and therefore perhaps the most in- spiring, was the third scene, in which Liberty took from the different im- migrants the flags of the countries from which they had come, and gave than Okl Glory instead. Miss Ruth Gifford, who personified Liberty, played her difficult part well. The scenes were interspersed with songs by the chorus, and dances. The most interesting fact of all was that all the costumes and equipment used were made in the school. 121 THE 1)1 RFEE HILLTOP STAFF D U R F E E R E C O R D (!ihe JSitlltnp (the c§tluurl Ijllaper The graduating class of ‘21 have something to he proud of in leav- ing to Durfee the establishment of a school paper, already proved a suc- cess, which il leaves for the succeeding classes to build tip and to develop into one of the finest in the country. In the short space of some two months, the idea of the experiment having been evolved, three issues have been published, the sales of each reaching twelve hundred. The material in the literary departmenl especially, is excellent, considering the very short time for it to be prepared. It is strange when one considers the importance of such an organ as a school paper that for ten years Diirfee lias been without one. There is nothing which so hinds all together in a common cause, the welfare of tht' .school, and which so unifies school activities as a school periodical. But now that another paper has at last been begun and has been given such a wonderful start by the class of '21, it is only right thal in the future, we should expect that the succeeding classes accomplish great results with it. As soon as the idea that il was impracticable to run a paper without advertisements was overcome by substantial proofs that the students themselves could support it, the officers were elected in the shortest pos- sible time. These officers comprised a board of twenty-five members, eight of whom were seniors, eight juniors, four sophomores and four freshmen. This staff, having chosen for the paper the name, “The Dur- fee Hilltop, ’ rather appropriate considering Durfee s location, imme- diately set to work editing the three issues, and with what success they met may be discovered by a perusal of the three copies, (treat credit, however, must be given to Mr. Chatto, a member of the faculty, whose wisdom and previous experience, wen responsible in a large part for the success of the paper.

DURTEE DEBATING TEAM 1920-1921 ]) U K F EE RE C O R D Many of our most prominent men rightly believe that the sense of hearing and the art of speaking are not practiced as they might he in the schools and even in the communities of our country. These men would not he disappointed, however, if they came to our own high school, for Durfee’s progressive spirit has been manifested in the B. M. F. Dnrfee Forum and Debating Society. Durfee’s students have realized the value of speech and have taken advantage of their opportunities by having con- scientiously organized and attended a Forum that could command at- tention. From this Forum a debating team was selected that could main- lain Durfee’s reputation for being a school that could produce people who work and win. Interesting and enjoyable meetings were held every two weeks and in these meetings debates were held which afforded much discussion and consequent information on timely subjects. The officers of this Forum were John Toohey, president; Frederick J. Torphy, vice-president; John Corrigan, secretary. The officers and many other interested students all strove to excite great interest in the Forum. Nor were their efforts in vain, for the benefits of attending such interesting meetings were manifest throughout the body of members. It was a good organization with an excellent purpose—may the good work go cm! 127 DEBATING TEAM This year, as other years, has been a success both financially and in point of numbers. As a result of the annual examination the following officers were chosen for the year ’20-'21 : Major, Kenneth 8. Carter Adjutant, Kenneth D. Channel! Supply Officer, Paul K.

The rookies were whipped into shape, for both companies were determined to win the prize of prizes, the Brown Cup. 129 DU RF EE REGOR D The Major and his staff have been busy also preparing1 for the series or successful drills which followed. The Efficiency Drill was held Nov. !i( ; Company A prize drill, Dec. 28; Company B prize drill, Feb. 4; and the Freshman drill. May 20. The Battalion attended the funeral of Warren Hathaway in Potters- ville, a former member of the Cadet Battalion. The Battalion drill, the social event of the season, was held in the Armory, April 1st, and pleased everyone. Company B went stubbornly down to defeat in this drill. The individual winners of the prizes were: Sergeant, Carter Noble; Fyan.s Medal. Private Vincent Coyne; and hon- orable mention. Sergeant Bugler Allan Smith. It is the wish of the entire Battalion that the annual encampment at Oak Bluffs will be held again this year. There the Cadets will receive the training which is impossible to give in the limited space of the Armory. 130 Our little Miss Stockman refusing something to eat.

Now about Miss Eleanor Cook’s wit, we are wont to remark That she’s busy from two a. m. until-----bite, In studies she sure is a human shark, But she has the pep and good nature that’s quite adequate. And Leschinsky always has something funny to say : Which shows lie'll be a leader among men; Why, they’ll never be able to run Durfee a day, Without the great help lie bestows in Room 10. There’s Sykes, our President, of whom we think a great deal Who has an honor all seniors are wont to desire, For looks and smiles to Boh we must kneel.

To Have Maintained Unquestioned Leadership From Every Viewpoint For Six Consecutive Years Is A Record Of Which We Are Justly Proud. THE FALL RIVER SCHOOL OF COMMERCE, Inc. has placed the facilities for obtaining a thorough business training within easy reach of ambitious High School students of this vicinity, and on a par with the Leading Business Schools of the country. It is no longer necessary to undergo the inconvenience and added expense of attending out-of-town schools. The fact that this institution enjoys, practically, the exclusive patronage of all former High School students, who attend Business Schools, is sufficient guarantee of its substantiality and High School Graduates will overlook one of the broadest roads to success if they do not carefully consider our Private Sec- retarial Course before deciding definitely as to their future education.
