Mercier Cfjf l fcorb $SooU taff Following the custom of the past few years the senior class elected the Editor and Business Manager of the Record Book. The class of 1928 selected as their editor, Charles Ryan, and as business manager, Florence Kerness, both well fitted for the posi- tions. Soon after the election Ryan chose Lester Radovsky and Ed- ward Milne as associate editors and with their help selected a staff, while John Kerrigan and Gertrude Mercier were appointed as- sociate business managers. Each member of the staff was given a specific duty at the first meeting and the organization of the book began to function smoothly. 2 Nine s 0 ctmotolt geinent The successful publication of this book is due primarily to the cooperation and earnest efforts of the staff and to the faculty advisor, Harry P. Lynch, who has given advice in solving the various problems with which the staff was con- fronted The Editor, 2 Twelve Class ©ffirers Norm and McDonald, President John F.

McCarty, Faculty Treasurer Under the leadership of its most capable president, Edward IIanify, the Forum began one of the most successful and active years in its history. The membership, this year, was large since many freshmen and sophomores were added to the organization. The Forum was under the supervision of Mr. Herbert A. Carroll who coached the debating team and acted as general ad- visor. The meetings were held bi-weekly on Wednesday evenings at 7.30. The main part of the program was either a debate or a discussion. During the course of the year, many interesting de- bates and open floor discussions were held. The club was also very fortunate in having the opportunity of hearing Beatrice Han- cock speak. This year, in addition to its regular interscholastic debates, the Forum sponsored the semi-finals and finals of the Senior De- bate Tournament, both events being opened to the public. A ban- quet for the Debating Team and other members of the school pro- ficient in public speaking and debating, was also held under the auspices of the Forum. 2 Ninety-one 8 fjc Berating ®eant Two years ago a debating team composed of comparatively inexperienced material awaited, in apprehensive anticipation, the “first performance”. Though it may lack haste in approach, nevertheless an appointed time ever arrives. And, reflecting glory on its school and credit on itself, the Durfee representative unit discovered its ability and used it advantageously. An expert judge decision proved this quite conclusively. The squad had found” itself. The rest was easy as shown by a season unmarred by defeat. With but two members of the original six claimed by gradua- tion, a now confident group continued its course straight into the wind leaving in its wake rough seas and vanquished opponents. Full sail ahead” was the byword, and this top speed was not di- minished till the inevitable harbor had been reached, the antici- pated goal of successful debaters, the state championship. And by no means were the high seas of argumentation placid. In January Norman McDonald entered upon his second year of leadership and captained John Kerrigan and Edward Hanify, both veterans of last year's squad, to a well deserved victory over St. John's Prep. In March, with Marry Chernock, also a veteran, taking Kerrigan's place, the Durfeeites proved the only reef in the path of Worcester Classical’s string of straight victories repeating last year's episode. And finally, in May, with Charles Ryan ad- mirably filling McDonald's position as first speaker the squad downed Providence Tech completing the journey. Duncan Kelly assisted the team by acting as alternate in one of the debates and assisting in gathering material throughout the season. A good pilot is necessary if the ship is to enter the harbor. Coach Herbert Carroll took the helm and in this capacity pointed out the course. 2—----------------------------------------------—-------------- Ninety-two 8 I 9 dje Duifft dramatic Club Fred Hutchins, President Sylvia Chace, Vice-President Helen Robinson, Secretary Sydney Petergovsky, Treasurer Doris Oakley, Call Day Ninety-three SCENARIO OF DURFEE DRAMATIC CLUB SCENE ONE: Panorama view of Dramatic Club picnic at Westport Harbor, t lose-np of thrilling murder of crippled sea gull, SCENE TWO: Durfcc.

A general plan of renovation has been worked out to such a degree that both makeup and material have been revolutionized for the better. The several departments were advanced by added features which have proved both original and novel. An excellent cooperation of faculty advisors, Herbert A. Carroll and Helen M. Corrigan and Editor-in-Chief Lester M, Ra- do vsky, has established this school institution on a more solid foundation. And the exhibited abilities of Frederick Quinn, Cor- nelius Sullivan and Joseph Faris, Associate Editors, Lillian Mason, Circulation Manager, and James McCoy, Advertising Manager, aided in placing in the hands of the student body what has been recognized as one of the foremost secondary school weeklies, for the size of the school, in the entire country. However, one of the most important and significant accom- plishments of the staff has been the formation of principles and individuality upon which future volumes may be based. Humorous and literary editions were read avidly by both faculty and students. The “Mangled Mirror” issue, especially, brought forth comment; more, it is safe to say, than any other since the introduction of the Durfee Hilltop some seven years ago. 2=------------------ ----- 8 Ninety-six £t)t Commercial Club Doris M. Edwards, Prenident Florence Pratt, Vice-President Henry Magan, Secretary JOSEPHINE Krupa, Treasurer William J. Chisholm, Faculty Advisor The Commercial Club in this, its fourth year of existence, has been most successful. Under the able guidance of Mr. Chisholm, the work that was planned at the beginning of the year has been accomplished. Prominent business men of this city and from out of town have addressed the club at the regular meetings. This year in place of the annual bazaar, the members of the club voted to have a Frolic and Dance. The event was held on April the thirteenth and was a success financially, as well as socially. Not only members of the club, but every student in Durfee points with pride to the Commercial Club, 8 N inety-seven ®ije . a.

The feeling of responsibility and independence which this method tends to effect is, in itself, sufficient inducement to its further development. With this in mind, in 1922, a group composed of active student leaders and interested members of the faculty initiated such a system at Durfee. The Students’ Activities Association, as it was called, met with the instant approval of the school authori- ties. Since it originated it has continued to grow in prestige and to assume and bear out greater responsibilities. Under the direction of the above officers it has advanced greatly within the past year. 2 Nincty-eAgkt 8 t 9 Efjf traffic William Eavensqn, Captain Limtemnts Peter Mrgc Freida Genaxjlt Madison Morton The Durfee Traffic Squad began its fifth year under the direc- tion of William Eavenson, who was appointed to fill the vacancy left by the graduation of last year’s captain. As always, the Squad has tried to relieve the congestion in the corridors during the past year. The preceding applies to the afternoon session as well as the morning session. The afternoon Squad is conducted by members of the sophomore class with Mr. Garwood at its head. The traffic problems this year have differed from problems of previous years. Due to the double session and to the use of only one building, a condition caused by the fire which destroyed the Technical building, the Squad has been somewhat reduced. The work accomplished has been made possible only through the able cooperation of Miss Miles, and Mr. Garwood, faculty ad- visors of the Squad, and with the assistance of the Lieutenants, faculty and the entire student body. % )i $ome Room Directors In each home-room both in the morning and afternoon ses- sions, the students have elected two directors, a boy and a girl. These directors are the immediate representatives of the student body in the Students’ Activities Association. With other duties within the pasf year there has been added the care of absence and tardiness. This plan has increased noticeably the attendance at Durfee, 2 Ninety-nine jt Burfee ©rcijrsitral Out) The Durfee Orchestral Club certainly has been a successful organization during the past year, its fourteenth year of prosper- ity By the faithful efforts of the musicians and the priceless instructions given by the director, Mr. Titcomb, this group has kept up the pace set by the orchestras of the preceding years. Not only has the club been of great benefit to its members, for the ensemble practice received is invaluable to them, but also has it aided many other clubs in the school by supplying the music for various occasions. In March the club sponsored a fine concert which was enjoyed by a large audience. It also furnished excel- lent music for the Class Day and Graduation exercises. Thus the orchestral club is of major importance to other clubs, to its own members, and to the entire school. The class of 28 ap- preciates its fine work and sincerely hopes that the untiring effort put forth by the players shall continue to make it and the name of Durfee famous. One Hundred ®ijc Burfee Club Virginia French, President Helen Robinson, Treasurer This year the Durfee Glee Club has progressed by rapid strides and is becoming one of the most active clubs in the school. The pupils of Durfee are appreciating more and more the intrinsic value of music. By the efforts of this club they are, themselves, pursuing a course whereby this appreciation can be trained. Un- der the excellent leadership of Miss Ladd, the Glee Club has ex- tended itself and the original limitations allowing only female voices have been obliterated. During the present school year boys have been urged to enroll as members. Because this idea is a new one in Durfee, at first it was met with very little response. How- ever, this did not hinder the earnest efforts of those concerned and finally a mixed chorus was attained. Before Christmas vacation the Glee Club sang carols in the school corridors and also at a meeting of college graduates. The club held its second annual concert in Music Hall, March 8. 1928, and the offerings were received very warmly by the audience. This concert was presented in conjunction with the Orchestral Club. In May the club was entered in the Glee Club Conclave in Boston. Here it made an excellent showing, exhibiting the mu- sical talent which comprised the unit. . 2 ■■ .................................................................................8 One Hundred One t 9 Cl)f ©aScball Session The first call for all baseball candidates for the 1928 team was issued March 19 by Coach Leslie Orcutt. A large number of can- didates reported, among whom were many seniors whose number included four veterans from the county championship ’27 team. The quartet were Captain-elect Walter Moson, Bill Lomax, Frank Demoe, and Lawrence Terry. With these four Seniors as a nucleus, indications were that Durfee again would be represented by a first-class baseball team. Especial interest is centered in this year's team which will be the defending champion of the Bristol County Interscholastic League. The squad this year will be made up of Seniors and Juniors, and most of the burden of defending the title will be borne by members of the Class of '28. Coach, captain, players, and students anticipate a successful season. The schedule, which is one of the longest and most arduous of recent years, follows: April 28 Fairhaven May Brockton May 3 New Bedford May 29 Dartmouth May 4 Dartmouth May 30 Malden May 8 Brockton June 1 Rogers May 14 Vocational June 5 Vocational May 15 Attleboro June 7 Taunton May 19 New Bedford June 9 Attleboro May 22 Taunton June 12 Rogers May 25 Fairhaven Home games 2= One Hundred Three s I 9 ®l)f Jfootball Reason At the beginning of the football season Coach Shurtleff and Captain Hugo (“Frenehy”) Denault were faced with the problem of starting the year by forming an eleven from inexperienced ma- terial. Only three men, all Seniors, had had any previous experi- ence in active interscholastic football. The three lettermen were Captain Denault, Ed Williamson, and Leo Belford. But under the expert guidance of the coach and captain the team became one that was much feared and respected for its ability by all opposi- tion ; and although the Red and Black warriors failed to win one Bristol County Interscholastic League encounter, they won every game played with “outside” teams. In the first game, played at Alumni field, September 24, West Warwick High's eleven was trounced 19-0. Although the team played raggedly, it showed signs of future power. On October 1 at Hendricken Field, Providence, the Hilltoppers were superior to the La Salle Academy gridmen and defeated them, 6-0, by virtue of a touchdown scored in the closing minutes. In this battle the team played its best game of the season. The next game, played at Alumni Field, October 8, resulted in a 6-6 tie, Attleboro, the first county league opponent of the sea- son, being the visiting team. At this time the lack of a good drop-kicker or kicker from placement was felt. Then, on Colum- bus Day, the “Big Blue” team of Fairhaven High came, saw, and conquered; but only by the narrow margin of 2-0. Durfee returned to her winning ways, October 22, tripping up Boston Latin’s eleven, 14-6. Then followed the Middleboro and North Attleboro games, both exhibition contests, played at home and away respectively. Both games were won handily, the former by a 25-0 score, and the latter 38-18. Then, on a visit to Taunton, the team suffered its worst defeat of the season, losing to the Orange and Black by a 19-6 score. The Taunton victory was the first ever scored by an up-river school team over the Red and Black. 2 One Hundred Five 8 I 9 Jfootball tafion===Conttnueb Vocational was the next opponent of the Hilltoppers, visiting Alumni Field November 19, and, in return for the hospitality, the Trade School boys defeated Durfee for the first time on a football field. The score was 7-6. Then came the annual Thanksgiving day game, played at New Bedford. The contest was typically a Durfee-New Bedford affair, and, as usually happens in these games, the home team won. The game was close and hard-fought as the score, 7-6, indicates. This reverse ended the season. In all, Durfee won five games, lost four, and tied one, making up a mediocre season. First team “F. R.V' were awarded to Cap- tain Denault, Ed Williamson, Tom Cullen, Bill Lomax, Frank Helli- well, Frank Desmond, John Sullivan, Norm McDonald, Alex Cote, James Higginbottom, Leo Belford, Tom Keefe, Eddie Bodeau, all Seniors; Captain-elect Frank Chippendale, Charlie O’Keefe, Frank Zajac, Jack Rigby, Ed Healy, and Len Durfee. Second team in- signia were given to Art Foley, Paul Amiot, Oliver Hazzard, Ed Howard, and Bill Morrissey. The advisory athletic council of the faculty met March 14 and voted ball.

The first match was against Rogers where the experienced Rogers team was forced all the way to take the match 4-3. Dur- fee men who participated were Captain Clem, the only veteran on the team; White, Wyatt, Monaghan, Ryan, Gollis and Milne. With this experience behind them the team started to hit its stride and defeated the representatives of Providence Classical High School, (5-0. This was the first defeat for Classical in a num- ber of years and gave the Durfee men confidence in their ability Beattie playing his first match showed much promise. The team this year faces a hard schedule, but although inex- perienced it contains some fine players and should have a most successful season. One Hundred Seven {E1)c piagketball ®eam The school's basketball team, whose five varsity regulars were members of the Class of 1928, gave Durfee its second Bristol County lnterscolastic league title, defeating every team in the league twice with the exception of the fast Attleboro five, which won out from the Hilltoppers in both games played. To win the championship Durfee won eight games and lost two. in the three non-league exhibition games played Durfee de- feated and lost to Arlington, state schoolboy champions, and won from North Attleboro. Captain “Bill Lomax led the league in individual scoring for the third successive year. The brilliant leader proved also a capable and efficient captain, as well as star player. Other members of the ’28 class who played regularly and re- ceived letters were “Ed” Payton, forward; Louis Freedman, cen- ter; “Bill” Sullivan and Louis Lipschitz, guards. Israel Golden and “Jimmy” Brady of the Senior class also were awarded “D's”. The Durfee Seconds played thirteen games, winning seven and losing six. First team letters were awarded to 11 men, and nine second team insignia were voted by the Athletic Council of the faculty. Harold ShusterofF of the Class of 1929 was elected to captain the squad for the 1928-29 season.
