Durfee Alma Mater Raise our praises high to Durfee Alma Mater dear. Tow ring lugli beside the river, Radiant beacon clear.

High aloft we’ll lift her banner Bright with Durfee s line. John Watkinsou, 33, C, J. LEARY 8r SONS- IMG. FALL RIVER, MASS. THE Burfee Eecorfc PUBLISHED BY THE CLASS OF 1933 B. M. C.

Foflees - - - President Vice President - - Secretary Faculty Advisors The Students' Activities Association, known by rill as the S. A. A., has proven to he one of the most important of all extra-curricular organizations at Durfee. With over a thousand members, tins organization has found itself able to extend its sphere of influence to include every branch of school life. This year the S. A. A. has successfully carried out several projects, which have all helped greatly to further the welfare of the school. These were the annual membership drive, a matinee social for each of the three upper classes, an officers’ banquet, the eighth annual convention of the Associated Body of Student Councils of Massachusetts High Schools, an Honor Student Assembly, the awarding of Deltas, the recognition of the Library Aids and the Electrical Club, loans to the Dramatic Club and Chorus for the production of 11 Novelty Nite” and “H.M.S. Pin a Tore’1 respectively, and the establishment of a Conference Room, available to all committees. Thus the Students’ Activities Association has contributed immeasurably to the welfare of Durfee, and has become an extremely valuable part of the school. 97 The Durfee Dramatic Club Irene Kernels - - - - Max Packer Mildred Pansy Mary Hincrey Bertrand Allaire Mi ss Barbara Tl belt noton President - - Vice President - - - - - ' - Secretary - - Recorder - - - - - - Call Boy Faculty Advisor Up spoke the small gold mask of tragedy, inscribed with the letters D.

The four one-act plays, “Lonesome- Like ' “A Pair of Lunatics.“ “Submerged ' and “The Beau of Bath ' have all helped to make an interesting year's program. Included also in the list of the elul s doings was the excellent performance of “The Bishop’s Candlesticks ' which was entered in the state drama contest held at Emerson School of Oratory. “The club’s reunion, welcoming all. past and present members to an evening of fun and gaiety, was a great success. The climax of the year's activities was “Novelty Nile ’ varying in subject from the delightful “Beer Garden J to the tragic “Where the Whirlwind Blows ’ “And now, having reviewed a most enjoyable and successful season, I must bid you good-bye. hoping that these many months we have spent together may mean as much to you as they do To me ’ ns The Commercial Club Doris Bowden - - - Phoebe Board man Jessica Knott - - - Mary Kozan Maroueiute Hamel Mu. William J. Chisholm - - - - - President Vice President - - - Secretary - - - - Treasurer A s sis fan f Treasurer Faculty Advisor The members of the Commercial Club of the B. M. C. Durfee High School may look back upon the year 1032-113 as one of the most successful years in the club’s history. The Commercial Club, under the leadership of its president and the supervision of its faculty advisor, has brought the Commercial pupils closer together by sponsoring dances and parties, and by providing practical business lessons through different commercial lectures. This organization has contributed generously to several worthwhile school projects, such as the Health Club and the welfare of the students. Thus the Commercial Club has become well known for its good work, and through the cooperation of every member, is rapidly growing in strength and number. The Durfee Hilltop Tnder the excellent guidance of the faculty advisor and Hu leadership of the editor, the Journalism class this year presented to the school one of the most successful publications of the Durfee Hilltop in the paper's history. The aim of the Hilltop was to he the means by which the student body might become acquainted with all school activities, and in this respect especially was the paper a success, covering, as il did, many exclusive news items that proved of interest in all readers of the weekly. The paper's policy this year Was to offer the latest .news events possible written in a good journalistic style, and it followed this system throughout. In this respect the sports page was outstanding, presenting the various athletic contests written in a sports-like tone. The appearance of the first page was greatly changed from the past, for Ibis year the Hilltop followed the arrangement of metropolitan papers with a balanced make-up. Thus, while necessitating careful planning on the part of the editor, the appearance of the paper was greatly enhanced. The editorials this year have been marked by good taste and judgment, and have shown deep thought and careful composition. The humorous edition. The New Squeal, caused more comment than any Other issue since the founding of the paper. It consisted of four pages of humor and two pages of news. This was the first time that a six-page paper had ever appeared at Durfee. With untiring service and cooperation the staff and the faculty advisor this year have succeeded in publishing a newspaper which lias held the interest of both the student body and the faculty of Durfee. The staff consisted of Bernard II. Zass, editor-in-chief; Irene Kernoss, associate editor, Ellen Cohery ami Laurine MacDonald, assistants; Evelyn LbinofL news editor. Aimak Kirker and Doris Paradis, assistants; Paul Griffin, sports editor, John Shea and Melvin Zass. assistants; Ellen Coppinger, literary editor, Helen Shairoeks, assistant; Rita Callahan, personals editor, Dorothy Hanley and Catherine Simmons, assistants; Lester Ball, joke editor, Raymond Sullivan, assistant ; Kathleen Tobin, business manager, Thomas F. Monaghan, Jr. and Grace Nieol, assistants; Agues Halpin. circulating manager, Ralph Castonguay and Sidney Levinson, assistants; Anita Chavenson and llita Berube, artists: Gertrude Bugara. and Doris Colwell, typists; and Miss Edna IL Dclahanty, faculty advisor. 101 The Record Book In the spring1 of 1932, when the election of the officers of the Glass of 1933 was held, Gerald 11, Waring was chosen Editor-m-Chiof of the Record Book, and Frances Brough as its Business Manager. As usual with the production of a year hook, little work was to he done until December. At thal time a staff’ was appointed, consisting of Max Packer, Lenora Frozen, Mildred Pansy, Irene Kerness, Mary Kozan, Marjorie L. Todd, Ruth I). Alhro, Evelyn Steinberg. Lillian Bailey, Sarah Sludsky. Anita ('haven- son, Evelyn t’lanotf. Rita Callahan, Norman P, Seagrave, Ilenry F. Shea, Janies A, Partridge, Richard A. Riley and Carolyn Y. Baxter. Immediately after the Christmas vacation a meeting was called, at which time the editor distributed the various assignments. The reading matter and the pen and ink sketches In this book are mute evidence of the stall’s labor over its assign- ments. Due to the financial depression, the advertising this year fell off greatly. The Senior Dance for the benefit of the Record Book, held December b, 1932, was not a success. Therefore it was necessary to publish the annual practically on subscription. This, however, did not prevent the editor from endeavoring to produce the best year book ever published at B. M. C. Durfee High School. 103 KEELEY LIBRARY The Durfee Forum Thomas F. Monaghan, Jr. - - - - President Leo Donovan ------ - - Vice President Irene Kern ess - - - - -.......................Secretary Philip Sacknoff ------- Seryeant-at-Arms Mr. John T. Crowley - - Faculty Advisor The activities of the Forum during the past year have been varied. Interesting: discussions have arisen concerning the Constitution and parliamentary procedure. Debates have been held on national, local and SL'hool subjects, some of which have resulted in lively arguments. The year was closed by a mock trial and the annual banquet. This year the Forum was particularly fortunate in its selection of officers. Mr. Monaghan has filled the duties of the chair with befitting dignity and impartiality, while the other officers have performed the functions of their respective positions with that cheerfulness which is an integral part of the Forum. Throughout the year Mr. Crowley has devoted much time to the Forum. Although he has willingly rendered his advice when it was solicited, he has generously refused to “dictate in any manner. 104 The Debating Team Under the patient guidance of Coach Ambrose F, Keeley, the debating team has completed a year which may be termed successful, even considering the occasional defeats. In every debate the team has shown careful preparation of material and a thorough knowledge of the question. These essential elements required intensive study. They involved heavy reading, compilation of facts, discussion, and practice debates. Although the preparation has been at times tedious, the squad has stayed on the job until it was completed. Mr. Keeley also has devoted much time and effort to make the debates .successful, and lie deserves much credit for his unselfish service. This year’s squad was composed of Captain Ellen C. Ooppinger, Claire Murphy, Dwight S. Waring. .Jr., Abraham Tulchin. Norman P, Seagrave, Jack Brian, Alan Manning. James Humify, Henry Ustrohinsky and John Harrington.

Piirfee High School Traffic Squad brought to a successful conclusion its third active year since the new Tech was opened in 1930. The year saw several changes in the rules and regulations governing' the passing of traffic. Chief among the innovations was the One Way System, whereby all students were compelled to use specified corridors, stairways, and doors when passing from class to class. Last winter the squad was enlarged to provide officers for policing the Durfee building, as well as Tech. Besides their regular duties of keeping order and preventing congestion in the corridors, the traffic officers serve as guides for visitors, and last fall acted as ushers at football games. The members of Captain Pi mental's stuff are Louis Fiore, John D'Adamo and Lynwood French, first lieutenants; and George Desrosiers, Roger Berube, James Thorpe and F. Bray ton Adams, second lieutenants. 108 3 3 The Durfee Varsity Club William h Goyette John Britto - - - Manltel Britto Mr. Stephen Nawrocki - - - President Irice President S evre f a ry-T re asu re r FacaIty Advisor The Durfee Varsity Club, composed wholly of Durfee lettercnen, is a new organization, the aim of which is ‘‘to create and perpetuate interest in competitive athletics and to encourage school spirit by high ideals of sportsmanship.9' Together with the Sports Committee, the club last fall published two football pamphlets, “Punts and Passes,” for sale at the Taunton game, and “Drop Kicks,” which made its appearance on Thanksgiving Day. In November the club sponsored a Victory Dance in honor of the football team. It also held an athletic exhibition in the gym to demonstrate the prowess of its members. The proceeds of both these affairs were used for a banquet for all of Durfee’s athletes. Early this spring the Varsity Chib purchased several hooks on athletics and presented them to the school library. They consist of manuals, both for coach and for player, and works of fiction on all sports. 109 The Durfee Orchestral Club Lydia Hinckley -------- Concert Master Sidney Levinson ------- Business Manager Miss Helen L. Ladd - - - n struct or and Director The DurFee Orchestral Club kept this year its position as one of the most useful and beneficial associations of the school. With Lydia Hinckley as concert master and Sidney Levinson as manager, and under the leadership of Miss Ladil, the club, most successfully played on various occasions. In December it provided the music for the Dramatic (dub's presentation of four one-act plays. In February the orchestra accompanied the operetta ”IL M. S. Pinafore,” presented by the Chorus. Later in the same month, February IS, to he exact, il played for the eighth annual convention of the Associated Body of Student Councils of Massachusetts High Schools, held in the Tech auditorium. The Orchestral (dub journeyed to Emerson School of Oratory at Boston to supply music for the state drama contest, in which the Dramatic Club had entered a play. On May 18 came the principal event in the club's program, the joint Orchestral Club and Chorus concert. As usual, the orchestra furnished excellent music for the Class Day and Graduation exercises. Not only has the club aided other organizations, but it lias greatly benefited its own members, with the invaluable ensemble practice it supplied in the constant practice required. The Orchestral Club is of major importance to other clubs, to its own members, and to the entire school. The Class of 33 appreciates the fine work and the untiring effort of Miss Ladd and her musicians. The durfee Chorus Jeanne Shapiro Claire Harrington H ODERIC K MaRC H ESSAH LT Miss Helen L.

The training in voice and choral practice this organization offers was greatly appreciated by the music-loving students of the school. To fill the officers positions, the club elected Jeanne Shapiro as president, and Claire Harrington and Roderick Marchessault as treasurers. Thus equipped the club fulfilled its program for the year. Just before the Christmas vacation, in keeping with the yearly custom, the gray-robed members of the Chorus, candles in hand, walked through the corridors of both buildings singing Christmas carols. The Orchestral dub supplied the accompanying music. The highlight of the year was the operetta, Hilbert and Sullivan’s “II. M. S. Pinafore,” which was presented to an appreciative audience on February 17. The leading parts were played by Claire Harrington, John E. Watkinson, Joseph Camara, Paul Marchessault, Florence Popkin, Vernon Heywood, Samuel Blinn and Emma Larrivee. The Orchestral Club played in accompaniment. Both the operetta and the orchestra were under the direction of Miss Ladd, who, in the production of the former, was assisted by Miss Barbara Wellington, dramatic coach. At the annual concert given in conjunction with the Orchestral Club on May 18, the Chorus's group of numbers was most warmly received. Rounding out the year, the Chorus furnished the musical program on Founder’s Day. The Chorus may well he proud of its record during the year 1932-33, for during that period It has greatly furthered the interest in vocal music at B. M. (J. Durfee High School. 113 The Durfee Band Richard IT. Fish, Jr. ----- Student Conductor Sidney Levinson - Busin ss Manager Mr. William Aelinson - - - ustructor and Director The B. M. C. Durfee High School Military Band this year has come to the forefront among the musical organizations at Durfee. Owing to the splendid cooperation of its members and the superb leadership of its director, the band has progressed rapidly, and through const ant practice, has become one of the best high school bands in tile state. The hand played at all football games last fall. Between the halves at tin1 New Bedford game, on Thanksgiving Day, it went through several maneu- vers on tlie gridiron, forming a large 1 ‘NB and “DF Besides appearing at athletic contests, the band performed at rallies, at sophomore assemblies, at the Capitol Theatre, and at many other functions. The public concert held April ‘d7, although not as successful financially as could be desired, was really a very excellent performance. The soloists especially were good, playing their instruments with fine teclinit{ue and finesse. 214 1 9 3 3 The Electrical Club Henry Bradbury - - Raymond Bolduc - - Robert (tunning - - Edm uxn Featherst x i; Mr. Myron T.

During the year 11132-10:1 1 regular meetings were held every other week, while the members filled in the intervening lime with radio work. As a group the club visited the radio transmitter of station WSAR and the Fire Signal Building on Pine Street, where the workings of the various electrical machines were explained to them. Among the several professional electrical men who spoke to the members of the club were Mr. Fan tom. Inspector of Wires in Fall River, whose subject was 44The Electrical Code and Its Applications. ? and Mr. Hardsog, power engineer of the Fall River Electric Light Company, who spoke on 4Illumina- tion'1 and “Radio Transmitting.’1 The Gene nil Electric Company provided slides and a lecture on “Vacuum Tubes Their Construction and Operation. 115 The Durfee Design Guild Kathryn V. Kienckr -------- President Extth Bukdrtt ------- Vice President Jennie Marks ---------- Secretary Dorothy M. Skiff - -- -- -- -- Treasurer Miss F. Antoinette Pratt ----- Faculty Advisor The chief aim of the Durfee Design Guild is to render service of an artistic nature to the B. M. C. Durfee High School. Although a new organization, it is one that already plays an important part in the extra- curricular life of the school. Throughout the year the members of the club have done some excellent art work, providing; posters for Book Week, for Dramatic dub plays, for movies shown last fall, for the operetta “II. M. S. Pinafore and for other school activities. The best of the club's posters were entered in art exhibitions here and at Boston. The club itself has given three exhibitions of its work in the school library, and one at McWbirr s -store. Miss Kiencke was lately the recipient of a bronze medal from the tt. P. C. A. for her fine poster on kindness to animals. The Guild brought its year’s work to a climax with the production of the musical revue “Stardust.’’ The show was twice presented, and was twice a great success. The proceeds were used to purchase much-needed art supplies for club work. 116 Football In decided contrast with the record of the proceeding year, Durfec experienced a very successful football season in 1 932, winning eight of the nine scheduled games. For the first time in eleven years a Durfee team clemmed Fairluiven, score 25-13. The following week the lied and Black whitewashed New Bedford Vocational, 12-0. All of the first eight games were won by comfortable margins, and hopes were high at Durfee for an undefeated season. But on Thanksgiving Day New Bedford High had the honor, and the undoubted trouble, of being the only school to defeat Durfee. The score was 6-0. After the football season had officially ended, Durfee, New Bedford Vocational and Taunton High received invitations from New Bedford High to participate in a “Round Robin,'T to lie held at Sargent Field, New Bedford. All accepted, and in the first round New Bedford eliminated Durfee, i-0, while Taunton defeated Vocational, 6-0. Then, in the final round, Taunton staged the upset of the day when the Orange and Black defeated the hitherto unbeaten New Bedford team, (id), so winning the tournament. The review of the 1932 season cannot properly be written without giving the Durfee players all the credit and praise possible for their fine playing and for Iheir splendid sportsmanship, both in victory and in defeat. Five Durfee men: the “Italian Wall —Captain Louie DeBonis, center, and Manny and •Johnny Bril 1o, guards—Charlie Sutcliffe, fullback, and Mickey Bor. quarterback, won positions on the All Bristol County Football Team. Other first string men, who also played excellent ball throughout the season, are the tackles, Eddie Babka and Andy Wilcox, the ends. Matt Ivuss and Ilank Harrington, and the three backs, Tommy Hammond, Joe Dumais, and Armand Oh a hot.

The Hilltoppers played very inconsistent basketball, showing great strength on some occasions, and giving very mediocre exhibitions on others. The ineligibility of Captain Tom Hammond because of bis age early in the season was a severe blow to the team, for Hammond was a tower of strength both in the offense and defense. The outstanding members of the spurn! were Acting Captain Butch Sutcliffe, forward and Myler Freedman, guard. However, all the other players, Carl Dubitsky, Red Fitzgerald, Stan Mis, Hank Harrington, Bill Desmond, Ed Steininger, Ernie Hodgson and Mickey Bor, captain-elect for the 1933-34 season, deserve much credit for their fine work. The schedule and scores are as follows: Durfee 91—Barrington Iligli 18; Alumni 35—Durfee 30; Durfee 48—West Warwick 15: Durfee 45—North Attleboro 18; Durfee 23—North Attleboro 15; Durfee 2. —Taunton 18; New Bedford Vocational 31—Durfee 17; Attleboro 35—Durfee 21 ; New Bedford 25—Durfee 23; Durfee 22—Attleboro 19; Durfee 35—Fairhaven 20; Durfee 4:3—New Bedford Vocational 26: Durfee 33—Taunton 19; New Bedford 26— Durfee 13; Fairhaven 39—Durfee 33; Durfee 36—Holy Family 23. Durfee scored 488 points against 382 scored by her opponents. 120 1 9 3 3 Track D ut fee High opened its 1933 track season with bright prospects for a championship team. There was an abundant supply of veteran material, which Coat'll Andrew L. Duffy used to the best advantage. In the 100 yard dash Durfee was represented by Captain Bill Boyette, Mickey Bor, Alex Stevenson and King Grinned. In the 220 the outstanding runners were Red Toolin, Boyette and Bor. Vic Souza, who placed first in the 440 and 8S0 in the New Bedford meet, and Kcrmit Martin proved to be Durfee s mainstays in the quarter mile. Souza was outstanding in the half mile run. Oscar Waring and Arniand Ohabot, underclassmen, also made good showings. The relay team was composed of Boyette, Martin, Toolin, Steven- son and Bor, only four of whom were used in the same meet. Durfee was even stronger in the field events than on the cinder path. In the shot put Andy Wilcox, Matty Kuss, and Manny and Johnny Britto represented Durfee. Carl Dubitsky starred in hurling the discus, in which event Wilcox, Kuss and the Britto twins also showed up well. Johnny and Manny Britto were outstanding in the javelin throw, with Russ Reed a close third. Topping the bar at a feet 3 inches for the high jump, Charlie Gregory placed first in the New Bedford meet. Frank Drohan, Tom Burrell and Conroy tied at 5 feet 2, and Joe Mayall also jumped well. In the broad jump Vernon Heywood made an excellent showing, leading his team-mates Stevenson and Mayall. Linus Mullaly, Russ Reed, Joe Buffington and Art Cartier were Durfee’s hope in the pole vault. At the time of our going to press two meets had taken place, the Interelass and the New Bedford meet. The first was won by the Seniors, who piled up a total of 88 points in comparison with the Juniors’ 13 and the Sophs’ 17. In the New Bedford meet Durfee was trailing until the high jump, which she took, 8-1, In the broad jump Durfee scored 9 points and New Bedford, 0, The final score was Durfee 49, New Bedford 4ft The rest of the schedule follows: Durfee Durfee N. B. Vocational Durfee Alumni COT NTY MEET 121 Durfee New Bedford N. B. Vocational Baseball The call for candidates for the 1933 baseball team was issued March 27 by Loach Leslie W. Orcutt. About one hundred enthusiastic followers of the national sport reported for practice at Alumni Field. Due to the Lack of veterans a fine chance to win a letter was offered to every promising candidate. When the squad was finally picked the coach found himself with an inexperienced team to carry the Red and Black of Durfee on to victory. The only returning veterans were Captain Phil Dumas, Butch Sutcliffe, Louie DeBonis, Ernie Hodgson, Mickey Bor, Bill Palmer and Fred Lough. The greatest weakness of the team seemed to he in the pitching staff. Although there were several who sometimes could turn in very creditable performances, there was not one really dependable pitcher on the team. At the New Bedford game played at Alumni Field May 13 the Senior Class gift, a new steel wire backstop, was formally presented to the school by Fred Lough, president of the graduating class. All seniors were invited to attend this game free of charge that they might witness the presentation of their class gift.

A good estimate of the various possible candidates, their style and their ability, was obtained through the medium of the tennis tournament conducted last fall, so that when Coach Ambrose F. Keeley issued the call for candidates about the middle of April, he was able to make much more progress in whipping the squad into shape than ordinarily would have been the ease. Captain Fred Quinn, city junior singles champion and the only returning letterman, acted both in the capacity of captain and manager. lie was number one man, while the rest of the singles squad was composed of Myler Freedman, Tzzy Schwartz, Vic Souza, Hortie Bowen and Gil Silver, in that order. The doubles team consisted of Quinn and Freedman, and Souza and Schwartz. Up to the time of our going to press the team had experienced little difficulty, winning the first five matches, and indications were that it would equal the excellent record established by the squad of 1932, claimant of the Massachusetts High School Tennis Championship.

By means of an elimination tournament the eoacli chose the members of the squad from among the twenty-odd candidates who reported. The team was under the leadership of Charles Lenaghan and Charles Ryan, co-captains, and the direction of Clifford Robinson, manager. Besides the captains, the squad was composed of Leonard Mullen, Everett Makin, James Flynn, and the substitutes Kenneth Cushman and Charles Taylor. An arrangement was made whereby the low man of the two captains in one match led the team in the next.
