Harris [ 79] To Miss Helen M. Corrigan, faculty advisor of the Pli 11- lop, ami well-known teacher of English, and to Miss Mary Lomax and Mr. William Oleare, our popular faculty members, the Class of 1929 extends its heartiest congratulations and best wishes for their success in the matrimonial field. We are sure that if they fare as well in their new endeavor as they have in teaching they will enjoy the success that we wish them. The Class of 1929 also extends its best wishes for success to Mr. Bertrand L. Shurtleff, former football coach and popular faculty member of the English department. Mr, Shurtleff, who has guided the destinies of our football elevens for several years is leaving teaching in June to cast his lot into an entirely different line of endeavor. Best wishes Mr. Shurtleff, We, the Class of 1929, express deepest regrets for the leav- ing of Miss Barbara Wellington, our debating, public speaking, and dramatic teacher. It is our great desire that she return next year to give others the benefits and joy slie has given to us. We wish her luck and best success, in the event that she does not re- turn, in whatever field she casts her lot. The Durfee Forum The Durfee Forum, under the nlde leadership of Harry Chernoek, r'JD, lias passed another successful and interesting year of activity. Perhaps its most popular venture was the interclass debat- ing tournament, which was won bv Burton Booth and Clifford Place of the Commercial Course. All infcerscholastic dehates of the varsity team were spon- sored by the Foriun, Especially eloquent and brilliant was the home debate with the Brown Freshmen, which was witnessed by the largest gathering that ever heard a Durfee High School de- bate. The entertainment committee of the Forum preyed ver- satile and able, and included on the bi-weekly programs a mock trial and many questions of high school interest for debate or o]ten-floor discussion. To climax a wonderful year in the Forum, its members held a banquet to which students, not members of the Forum, who had attained an excellent standard in debating or public speak- ing were invited. The banquet proved a great success. Tliis year has undoubtedly been one of the most enjoyable and successful the Durfee Forum has ever known. The Debating leam For throe successive years an undefeated debating team at Durfee! This is an unprecedented record never before equalled in the history of the school. 1 ' f In spite of the loss of three of its members last dime by gradua- tion, the team this year still remains undefeated. Its members, Norman Zalkind, Francis Finneran, Israel Sarat, Duncan Kelly and Harry Uhernock are captained by Edward Hunify an able leader who lias been very prominent in debating since his Freshman year. Under the direction of Vice-Principal Joseph A. Wallace, the coach, the squad has won its well deserved victories. At the first of the season our boys defeated New Bedford, but the test came when they were scheduled to meet the Freshmen of Brown University. They made this a decisive victory which was the culmin- ation of the third successful year. ! 82 j SCENE: ROCK STREET. Lawn of the Du r fee High School.

Miss Helen Marie Corrigan, and the able leadership of Eleanor Herbert., editor-in-chief, the Hilltop has increased its cir- culation and has attained a high ranking not only in the opinion of all its readers, hut also among other high school weeklies. Its special editions, such as the Christmas, Thanksgiving, Literary and Humorous numbers, have evoked much praise, and every issue contained a special feature which appealed to all of the subscribers. In spite of its being a weekly, practically every edition has had one or more “sieoops and we are very proud to think that we have been able to present news while it is news.

This year, instead of the annual bazaar, the club and the general public enjoyed a Valentine Party. February Id, at the Hotel Melien.

S FRA NC IS II AN 1FY Freshnuin Co u ucillor FLORIDA BSI1ARA The S. A. A. of tins year, became an active, powerful factor in school affairs. All members of the council proved themselves worthy of the honor bestowed upon them by their classmates. One of tlie greatest honors, achieved by the council, was attained when “Bill Galvin was elected Vice-President of the Massachusetts Body of Student Councillors, the first Durfee student to have held an office in that association. The power of the S. A, A., as a law making body, was used fre- quently during the past year, their opinion and dee Yarns being called for in several instances. -----------------------[ 88 ] ——= The Durfee Orchestral Club The Durfee Orchestral Club began its fifteenth year having in sight every prospect of success. By the untiring efforts of the members and by the encouragement and painstaking instrue- tion of M r. I Inward, the director, the club lias progressed rapidly, earning for itself the reputation of being one of the best school orchestras in the state. The educational value derived from the club is very evi- dent. Besides providing the players with an opportunity of seen ring ensemble practice, which could not lie obtained other- wise, we have witnessed the excellent results obtained by the club not only at assemblies but also on several public occasions, such as Class Day and Graduation, [ 89 I The Durfee Glee Club LILLIAN LOFTMAK President PRUDENCE WOOAN, Viec-Presidmi RITA GRIFFIN, Secretary KATHLEEN MURRAY, Treasurer HAZEL DUMAS, Concert Manager DOROTHY CAMPBELL, Seryeant-at-Arms Under the excellent supervision of its new director, Robert M. How- ard, the Glee Club began one of its most successful seasons. Sixteen members of the Girls’ Glee Club who composed the vested choir did the following singing. Mr. Howard played the chimes and also led the girls. 1. Bang carols as they marched through corridors before Christmas Holidays. 2. Sang at the Rotary Luncheon. 3. S iig hymns the Thursday before Easter as they marched through the corridors. A new mode introduced this year was the wearing of caps and gowns which lent an attractive appearance to the group. The entire Glee Club held its Third Annual Concert in conjunction with the orchestra in May. They also participated in the State Choral Contest Festival held at Boston, They were welcomed enthusiastically at both times. The season closed with a banquet at which time the success of the year was discussed. L'9Q J = Home Room Directors A boy and a girl director were chosen from each home room to act as business managers in their respective rooms. These directors are the immediate representatives of the student body to the S. A. A. by means of the boy and girl councillors.

In these games, however, the team gave an excellent account of itself. Coach Shurtleff and Captain Frank Chippendale were confronted with the problem of developing a strong team from inexperienced material as there were hut five letter men returning and with the help of the letter men molded the team as best: they could. The team played hard all sea- son long and they faced some of the best opposition that could he offered. They are worthy of all commendation that is bestowed upon them. The first game was played at, the Alumni Field on September 28 with West Warwick and the Durfee gridsters won easily, garnering nineteen points while the visitors got six points. The next game was played at Hayward Field, with Attleboro furnishing the entertainment. The Hill- toppers went down to a 13-0 defeat at the hands of a more experienced team. The game was hard fought and Attleboro called on her strongest team to furnish the opposition. The annual Columbus Day game with Fairhiiven was played at their stadium and Fairhaven emerged victorious, scoring seven points while the Hilltoppers could secure none. This game was one of the hardest fought of the season. [ 94 j FOOTBALL (Continued) The team then took on Rogers High on October lb at Newport, resinn- ing a friendship which has been severed for some time. Rogers was the heavier team and many trick plays were used to defeat Dnrfee. Borers rolled no a total of 38 points wlrle Dnrfee garnered six. The strong New Bedford Vocational! team which was standing other local aggregations on their heads provided the fireworks for the Hilltopperx on October 25 and handed them a 49-0 defat. North Attleboro journeyed to the Alumni Field and in a holly con- tested game emerged victorious. Durfee was weakened by the loss of three men who were ineligible because of marks and the score stood 12-6. Taunton played Durfee on November 10 at the Alumni Field and won the contest 13-0. The strong St James High, of Haverhill, was Durfee’s next en- counter. The game was played at Ha verb’ll on November 17 and they handed the team the worst defeat of the season. The score stood 53-0. The annual Thanksgiving dash between Durfee and New Bedford came next. Mr. Sluirtleff made a statement before the game that he would resign his position as English teacher and coach, at the end of the year, re- gardless of whether the team won or not. With this statement in mind the team went on the held with a grim determination to wind up the season with a win. The Hilltoppers battered the Whalers up and down the field. The red and white jerseyed team could not withstand the terrific pound- ing and wilted under the furious charges of the Hilltoppers who garnered six points, the result of three safeties, while New Bedford could score none. Harold Nerenberg was unanimously elected captain of the 1929 foot- ball season.

I 95 I Basketball Although this year's basketball team does not boast the league cham- pionship, they have an enviable record, having won eleven games and lost two. The team finished second in the Bristol County League stand- ing and defeated the winners in the only game in which they were defeated. Coached by ‘ Bill” Cl cate and led by Capt. Harold Shuster off, the boys made a wonderful showing, with the result that several were placed on All-Bristol teams and several received honorable men- tion. Captain Harold Shusteroff was regular left forward and beside be- ing a high scorer was one of the most accurate passers in the county. Harold's accurate passes were a large factor in Durfee s many advances down the floor. “AH' Wolf man played right forward and was Durfee’s high scorer. No regular attendant at the games will ever forget how “A1V’ long shots often put us out in front. BASKETBALL (Continued) “Connie Sullivan was varsity center and gained the reputation of the best jumper in the enmity. Durfee fans will remember him as the winner of the Attleboro game. £iCharlie O’Keefe was regular right guard and was one of the highest scorers in the county. O’Keefe was picked on one of the All- Bristol teams as a varsity guard, “Amine Coughlin, Our regular left guard, was undoubtedly the best all-around guard in the county. “Ambie” was picked on every All-Bristol team as varsity guard. Coughlin was elected as captain of next year’s team and needless to say has the best wishes of this year's class and team. It would be impossible to close this short store without commending the five substitutes, “Joe” Payton, “'Tour' Welch,’ “Dick” Gray, “Kay” Goff, and “Tom” Garvey for their fine playing when they were substi- tuted in many of the contests.

Previously, tennis had been a minor sport in Bristol County High Schools but this year it look on a different aspect. Bene Barrette, Am by Murray, James Monaghan, Harry Chernock, Cornelius Sullivan, and Harold Shusteroff were the outstanding players who answered Captain James White’s call for candidates in the fall. In the fall of the year 1928, Burfee defeated Providence Tech twice. In the next spring the tennis team met its only conqueror, New Bedford High, which defeated Burfee by a score of 4-2. Later in the spring New Bedford again proved a stumbling block to the Burfee team. Under the able leadership of Capt. White the Burfee team defeated Taunton 7-0, and Fairhaven, 4-2. White, who lias played three years of high school tennis and passed through two undefeated seasons, has proved to be the mainstay of the team. However, the success of the team was due to tlie whole-hearted cooperation of the tennis squad under the skilful I coaching of Joseph 0. Carroll. I 98 j Track With six varsity men returning, the outlook for the track season of nineteen twenty-nine is very bright, and it seems that ( Well Andrew Duffy has little to worry about. In the sprints the coach is relying upon Harold Slmsteroff and “Charlie” O’Keefe to come through, for both have had two years experience. In the quarter-milt the team is well repre- sented by Paul Moody. Moody has had two years experience and will also he of great assistance in the relay. The half-mile is well taken care of by “Dick” Gray and “Gibby” Roberts. Roberts has had a year’s experience while Gray is a two year man and a member of the relay team. In the field events the outlook is by no means discouraging. The shol put and discuss will be taken care of by a veteran, in the person of “Herb” Tallman. The javelin will be taken care of by “Bill” Kay lor, also a veteran. With the above varsity men and several second team men, Coach Duffy is planning on entering the Brown and the Bristol County Inter-Scholastic Track Meets. Several dual meets will also be held with the neighboring high schools.
