And in rain or shine one always finds him in the Durfee ranks when the Hilltop’s eleven :s on the field. While our friend “Chuck has not yet chosen his life's profession, he has one great desire. This desire is not to play on a football team nor even to be a baseball pitcher but to raise a moustache! It may lie years before this de- sire becomes realistic, nevertheless, we would say to him, “Have patience .

We have been unable to learn from what study lie lias derived the most benefit while at Durfee. Carl it be that he has received none? Judging from certain artistic drawings with which “Bob'1 has entertained his fellow classmates, we are inclined to believe that he has de- rived the most benefit from this. We would suggest, how ever, lhat lie choose Ids life-work as he has failed to state wlmt lie intends to do in the future. But drawing is not “Bob’s” only accomplishment for he was one of the “shin- ing lights” on Durfee s strong football team last fall. He also earned u commission as Lieutenant in the Cadet Corps, and his proficiency in military tactics is far in advance of his ability as a cartoonist. When we heard that Brown is to have our “Bob” next year we immediate tv deemed that college the luckiest in the United States. Football, L Lieut.

If you don’t you’re missing something. You’ve seen her walking in the halls, always gay, just the sort of girl this old world needs. It would seem as if her motto were: “Never trouble trouble ‘til trouble troubles you. ’ ’ You’ve seen her, too, at all the school dances, always surrounded by a certain sex,. Because as a dancer, “Dot” Can’t be beat “Dot” is also a good student, and you can never find fault with her work. However, “Dot” is much more in- terested in the dyeing business than she is in lier studies. We wonder why? Next year Rhode Island College of Education will open its doors to “Dot”, for in the future she expects to become a teacher.

But that doesn Tt mean that she is always studying. Now if it weren’t for skating and good books, “Skid” might have spent all of her time studying; but these are her hobbies, and, besides, can you blame her?

We haven't the least doubt ns to his ability as a surgeon after he leaves Harvard, but, judging from the great financial success of the Record Book and the third volume of the Hilltop we are sure that Frank would be a first rate business man. With this promising young man as president, the Duvfee Dramatic Club made a wonderful beginning. As si reward for the high eat scholarship of any 192ft Harvard candidate Frank received a handsome book in his third year. Because of his popularity, he was a candidate for the presidency of the class in his Senior year. When Frank receives his de- gree as a surgeon from Harvard, we are certain that the Alavo brothers will have to go out of business. He doesn’t really look as tliu lie M like t, cut people up, but—you never can tell. We could write a book about Frank, but we'd rather spend the time with him.

Kenneth Crowley Second Lieutenant, Robert Bertmsbaw Second Lieutenant, John Powers This year many changes took place in the corps. Major Harrison, who has for many years been the military instructor, and to whom is due perhaps more than to anyone else the splendid condition of the Battalion, resigned at the beginning of the year. He gained the confi- dence and respect of all with whom he came in contact, and the loss of 135 D U R F E E R E C 0 R D lu's capable direction and kindly encouragement was keenly felt by all tile cadets. His place was taken by Lieutenant Houth'worth of the Na- tional Guards. He resigned in March, but although his term was short, lie accomplished a, great deal. At the beginning of the year there were three Companies: Co. A in command of Captain Martin, was composed of Juniors and Seniors, Co. B of Freshmen commanded by Captain Brady, and Co. C of Sopho- mores in charge of Captain Kolb, But, as the non-commissioned officers for the whole Battalion were appointed from Co. A, it gradually dwindled in sisse until finally, when all its men had become non-com- missioners in the other companies, its officers and non-commissioned officers were attached to Co. C which was reorganized on the new platoon system. Co, C then contained eight squads divided into two platoons, and was by far the largest company in the history of the cadets. As all of its men were experienced, it accomplished a great deal and became a most efficient body, Co, Bt the Freshman Co., was not as targe as Co, 0 and was organized on the old company system. However, later in the year, Co. B took up platoon drill. While not as large as Co, 0, its members were fully as enthusiastic and at the end of the year il presented a finished organization that competed creditably with Co. C in close order drill. Although the Battalion lias had hard luck with its military con- struction, it has had one of the most successful years in its history. 136 - ■i,it is dOJ ruu aajvna This was tin most successful year in the Hilltop’s existence. Fp to this time it has been almost an experiment, but now it is firmly estab- lished in Durfee. One trouble in the past has been the the lack of a sink ing fund on which to draw in ease of emergency, but Iasi November, the Post Graduates held a most successful dance which provided such a fund. The News and Alumni Departments, which have not been above the average since the Hilltop organization, were this year made su- perior to those of most other school papers, while the other departments have maintained their high standards. The business and circulation management have also been much improved. A new department was made when typists were added to I In1 stall', so that it is not now dependent upon tin1 office practice classes for their typewriting. Tins Inis been a great saving of t ine and has simplified the preparation of the copy for the press. The Hilltop office in Room 1 has also been enlarged by the addition of another desk. At present, Durfee has the distinction of having one of the best, and at the same time, perhaps the least expensive high school magazines of any standing in the country. This feat has been accomplished solely by the large subscription list, for the Hilltop unlike any other school paper in the country, does not depend for its support upon advertising. The class of 1323 may look with pride upon its record of consistent- ly supporting the Hilltop. May other classes do as well! THE EDITORIAL STAFF Editor in Chief, Francis 1.

DFRFEE ORCHESTRA The Durfee Orchestral Club has accomplished much during the year 1922-'23. From the first rehearsal, which came in October, it: was a decided fact that this would be the orchestra's most successful year. Throughout the year it lias played several times for school entertain- ments, one of which was the High School Teachers' Association play for the benefit of the College endowment fund. These entertainments were not as important to us as the (Tympany) kettle drums drive. To in- duce the pupils of Durfee to support this drive, we offered them, for I he sum of twenty-five cents, two recitals, both of which would come during school hours. The first recital came in December and the second one in February, The money received from these recitals amounted to one hundred and fifty dollars, and we hope to pay the re- maining fifty dollars on the drums with the money we receive from the Grand Concert of the Teachers’ Association which is to be held on the evening of March 9th. Much credit is due Mr. Titcomb, for it was lie who led our orches- tra to success. Due to his untiring efforts, much talent lias been dis- played making famous the following personnel : Walter J.

At (lie beginning of this year, a request that the girls form a Glee Chib was marie by Mr. Tit- eomb. There was a good response, and almost all who applied were ae- eeptrd. The elub now has a membership of twenty-five. They are mostly Seniors but there are some .Juniors. The girls have sung twice at assemblies and expeet to do more. They meet once a week. Every- one works hard and has a most enjoyable time doing it. I aider such ex- pert supervision as the girls have with Mi . Til comb, we are sure the club will develop into an integral part of the school life. It is well worth while. The reputation of a school which sings will never fall. U3 DEBATING TEAM IFnrum OFFICERS President, Francis Brady Vice-President, James Coogan Secret a ry, M i 1 dr cd Ken n edy E X EC 1 'T1V E Cc )M M IT TEE John Donnelly Paul Richards John Galvin Joseph Lee Everett Dash off With a large number 4)1' members ihe Forum began another suc- cessful year, hut the attendance fell off slightly toward the end of the year. This did not discourage those interested and better results seemed to he obtained with fewer members. The meetings were held every other Monday in the Technical Audi- torium and consisted of discussions and debates which were always in- teresting. Mr. Chafto, the debating coach, had charge of the Forum and greatly helped those who took part in the many debates. Debates with other schools were held throughout the year and our teams were given a great deal of support by the students. The teams made a fine showing of which we have every reason to be proud. Although only Juniors and Seniors may join the Senior Forum, there is a Junior Forum for Sophomores and Freshmen. And as we leave Durfee, we may rest assured that there are other capable workers to keep up the good work of the Forum. 145 OFFICERS OF DRAMATIC CLUB One of the newest organizations in the school (and without doubt tin most successful) is the Durfce Dramatic Club. The Dramatic CHub was organized to give opportunity for development of self-exj ression, poise, and the drama tie instinct as well as affording some training in play writing, stage managing, scenic effects and other associated the- atricals. There have been monthly meetings since organization in September and at each meeting, plays have been read and plans for betterment dis- missed. Plays from the hes dramatists of the day have been included in the programs: Plnvd Dell, J. M. Barre, Eugene O'Neil. Oliphant Downs, ard plays of the Harvard 47 Workshop. So great has been 1h- interest in Dramatics that the original group of seventy who were in- vited to become mend ers has been increased to over one hundred. Perhaps the work of the dub will best be remembered by its pro gram of plays given on February 10, in the Technical Auditorium. The presentation of these plays under the able direction of James L. Cum miiigs, won instantaneous approval and commendation. The plays were “ 'Miss Mercy, by Bonis Bray, with the following east:— Captain John.....................................A.

These people perhaps through their excellent histrionic ability carried the honors for the Dramatic (Tub. To them and to the nth era does the school owe a debt for their painstaking preparation for their hours of grilling under the director. While successful in its public presentation which carried an ambi- tious program, the club has made other plans to carry on its work. On May tenth and eleventh, two distinct casts did Tarkingtou's “Sev- enteen” for the Junior and Senior ('lasses. The two casts were made necessary by the large number who turned out for tin tryouts and the general interest manifested by the members of the (Rub. Mem- bers of the “Seventeen ’ cast were William Hopewell, '23; John Galvin, '24; Charles Wexler, ‘23: Everett Dasholf, ’23; Ambrose Kei-ley, '24; Paul Richards, 24; Clarence Harding, '23; Russell Cum- mings, '23; Frank Chace, '23; Alice Blais, '24; Claudia Dubois, 23; Louise Deane, '24; Edith Wightman, '23: Anna Bel isle, 24; Beatrice Perron, '23; Evelyn Radovsky, '24; Elsie Sherrington, ’24; Eunirt Terry, '24; Loretta Gavin, '24: Mary Kenney '24; Madeline Lewis. ‘23. Perhaps the outstanding work of these plays was that of Loretta Gavin as Jane, and William Hopewell as Willie Baxter. These two parts neces- sarily carry the play and these were wise choices. The biggest gain to the school in the coming of the Dramatic Club has been the founding of the “Willard II. Poole Scholarship.” The money amounting to two hundred fifty dollars has been raised through presenting plays publicly and through subscription. The Club has as its aim the perpetuation of the scholarship. In continuing to raise funds annually for a scholarship, the (Tub not only does a noble deed, but one far nobler purpose is served, , r.. the perpetuation of the memory 148 .Jean Wheeler, ‘24 Paul Richards, 24 ...Alice Blais, '24 .

Evelyn Kadovsky, Louise Deane, Francis Brady and Joseph Lee have worked hard and unflinchingly to make the Dramatic dub worth while and have succeeded in no little measure. The (hub has as director, Mr. James L. Cummings, who has had much experience along dramatic Lines. Mr, Cummings was “Pageant Master'' in 1!)21, and was partly responsible for the wonderfully success- ful “Pageant of the Pilgrims” which lias brought a name for the school, lie has also been a guiding hand in the series of plays given by the faculty. As the director of the “Durfee Dramatic Club55, he has proven himself worthy and cannot be praised too highly. Only those who have worked upon him, in the different plays, will know the way he unselfish- ly gave us his time and advice and worked among us 'till we have come admire him for his remarkable ability and to respect him for Ills generous and willing character. The success of the Club is due to him, and his work and our earnest hope is that I). 1). D. will continue on its present successful career under his capable guidance. 119 While our illustrious dass sojourned at Durfee, there was a great revival of school spirit. Of the many dubs that were formed and most of them in our Senior year, the Greek Chib was the first organized in 1921 by the students of the audent language under flip direction of Miss F. Winifred Given, The first year of the chili was a great success. In the school year 1922-23 the dub was continued with a little more suc- cess with Miss Anna G. MeCttrly as faculty director filling the vacancy caused by Miss Given‘s resignation. The first officers of the dub were President, John J. Griffin, '22: Vice-President, John B. Lee, ’23; and Secretary, Margaret Shea, '22, In the second year the officers were President, Joesph B. Lee, '23; Vice-Pre-sideni, John Harrington, '24, and Secretary, Anna Belisle, 24, For two years the club has been a great .success carrying out as well as possible its purpose: namely to arouse interest in the study of the older of the classics, to give the Greek students opportunity to take up many things which class time does not allow, and to compare the aueieid and modem tongues of sunny Greece. With such ideas the dub lias been of great advantage to the pupils. It makes the study interesting. The Greek Club was a fore-runner of various other similar organiza- tions. The charter members who graduate Ibis year hope that the fu- ture members will continue the good work. 150 In these days of great advancement in the science of electricity, the students in this branch of education at Durfee are by no means to he lax and consequently, in the Iasi year of our class of 7 23 the Electri- cal Club was formed at the high school by Percy Judd, head of the de- partment. to enable the students to keep up to the mark with every- thing concerning their interesting subject. The organization was con- tinued after Mr. Judd's departure by Mr. V under, The officers elected at the first meeting are President, Merrill Winslow; Vice-President, Clifford Harwood; Secretary, Edward Cvr; Treasurer, Oswald Wahl; Sergeant-at-armsT Irving King. The organization was very successful and carried out its purpose very well. During the year at many meet- ings, the members enjoyed radio concerts, besides the many other sub- jects connected with the interesting study m WVH1 TIVULOOA t The football season prof away with tin same dull and 1 men thu sins - 1 i start of other seasons. But, after we had been beaten by Hope High 12-0 and Laselle 134) changes began. Coach Sample made several shifts which seemed to change the luck of the team. In the third game. Fairhaven was held to a scoreless tie. Columbus Day worked the beginning of Durfee's string of vic- tories, when we defeated our old rival, Now Bedford, to the tune of 13-7. Front that day no team was able to cross the goal of the Red and Black’s line. The Tlilltoppers next piled up 12 points against Taun- ton’s nothing and in the next game, although the injured list was high, the Taber giants were beaten 24-0. Mansfield’s defeat followed with a score of 22-0. In the next game Durfee defeated Cumberland 19-0 in the Rhode Island High School's first appearance on the local field. Middleboro was I lie next victim and she went home leaving 27 points and carrying none with her. Then came the famous Thanksgiving day game when a crowd larg- er than any previous record at the Alumni Field saw the home team smear New Bedford 12 to 0 on a field of snow and mud. This year’s team was the team of teams. The spirit it created has never before been equalled. Much credit must be given Coach Sample and Athletic Director Townsend for the improvements they started for putting out the best team in years. Nineteen hundred twenty-three men who helped make the school and team famous are as follows:— Gordon Hargraves, end—“Jake” who captained the eleven was one of the best players of the champions. Tie managed the team well and in return received their best support. He always played a hard game and set a good example for his men. Eugene Sullivan, halfback—“Gene” was without a doubt our best all round man on the eleven. He did much of the ground gaining and the scoring and made himself famous by his end runs. Next year he goes to Dartmouth and without a doubt will be on the football squad. 154 mrTi yjj i) u r f i; i 3 R E C 0 R D Willard Bourse, tackle—'‘Bill'1 sure does play Ins position to per- fection. There was hardly a time when a man grot through his position. This was his first year on the eleven and In made a very good reputa- tion for himself. Henry Negus, tackle—Henry was another new and great find for Coach Sample this year. Henry hails from Tiverton and if there are any more like him hidden away down there, we hope they will come tip for next year’s team. The only thing we are sorry for is that Henry didn't come out in his earlier years at Durfee. Robert Bertenshaw, guard—“Bob' started his football career at Durfee last year. Lie came out very late in the season and even then substituted in a few games. This year he came back strong and secured a position on the first team. He did the kicking in fine style. Brown will he lucky when it gets this plucky guard. William Murray, halfback '‘Bill has been in the squad for two years but each year something happens to prevent his playing in many games. Last year lie broke his leg soon after the season had started and this year he wrenched his knee. “Bill played good football while he was in there, and leaves a good reputation behind him. Laurence Gadsby, guard- ‘Larry was a good man in his position but he did not seem able 1o get in many games. He worked in a few games, and when he got the chance showed he was there. This year was his first at football but we all believe he has laid a firm foundation for flit her success. Other men on the squad but not of 1923 are:— 1 Oaptain-elecl ” “Danny’’ Coogan, guard; “Howie Hargraves, center; “Tom’ Collins, end: “Arnie Rasmnsson, quarterback; 1 Bob'' Bannister, halfback; “('buck Flynn, fullback; John “Nick Nichols, halfback. These men. led by Captain-elect Coogan, will without a doubt hold the Red and Black as high next year as it was held this year. BASKETHALL TEAM The Durfee Basketball team of 11)25 kept up the good record made by the football team. Like all good teams it had the necessary light- ing spirit which is so eharaeleristic of the Red and Black, and re- sembled the Three Musketeers in that it was “one for all.” and “all for one. When the hoys came out for practice in December lliere wore many supporters who failed to see a team out of the 75 candidates. The first game resulted in a defeat at the hands of Attleboro, considered a very weak team. Coach Sample did much experimentitig in this game but the five could not get together. Every time a Durfee man got the ball the others flocked around him and the pass-work was very poor. The result made things look pretty dark for the Mil hoppers. In the next game, Durfee defeated St. Mary's High by an over- whelming score. “Babe” Hathaway was shifted to guard and Goursp played center. This change greatly improved the team and things worked more smoothly. Some of tin boys who were somewhat nervous in the initial game began to feel surer of themselves. Our next victory was over our old rivals, the New Bedford High. Durfee played with a grim determination that could not he downed ami gained a decisive victory over practically the same team that re- presented New Bedford at the Tuft's Tournament last year. More credit goes to Durfee, because she had practically a “green team. The next battle was lost to Fairhaven by a single point in one of the hardest fought games ever played on the Boy’s (dub floor. After this defeat, the Hilltoppers started on a winning streak of nine straight games. Among the victims were New Bedford Vo- cational School, with a veteran quintet. Fairhaven, Stoughton and Franklin. By this time the hoys had developed a wonderful combination and were playing heads up basket-ball. There were no players looking for individual honors but all were in the game to win. Vocational however, broke our winning streak by defeating a. crippled team 56-6. However, the boys had an off night and were minus two regulars. Boh Bannister ami !o,e Hathaway. Ve oiler no alibi except that the boys had a bad night while Vocational was play- ing in championship form. 1.17 ® rttms ©eam In 1922 tennis was revived at Durfee after a lapse of about, six years. This year our team has been very successful and preparations for the coming season are now being completed. This team, unlike any other, has two seasons: one during the Fall after school opens, and the other tn the Spring and early Summer. Last Fall the team played two matches with New Bedford, our most formidable rival. The first match was played in the Buttonwood Park, New Bedford, and after a very exciting and hard fought battle tile Durfee Team came out victorious with a score of 6 to 5. A return was immediately made to be played off at the Featherdeek Tennis Club in Fall River. The Du rice doubles teams were paired up differently and this plan didn 't work very well. New Bedford won the match by a score of 0 1o 3. The day was very cold for the season, and both players and spectators had a hard time keeping warm. A call has already been issued for candidates for the coming season and over fifty have responded. Mr. Carney was appointed to coach the team but be lias resigned from the faculty and a new coach will have to be secured. The prospects are bright for ilie coming season as a heavy schedule has been arrainged. Letters were awarded to the following team of 1922: Lincoln Holmes Joseph Coppinger Preston Marble Roger Buck BASEBALL Although when this book goes to print the baseball season will not have started we feel sure that its success will equal, if not surpass, that of the football and basketball teams, Dnrfee has all the prospects of a vend season ; fine material to work with, a good coach to work it, and the support of the school. Of last years team ten men remain who have the advantage of having played together a season. A new coach, Leslie Orcutt, has been obtained. He has had wide experience coaching and will undoubtedly turn out a cracker-jack team.
