at B.M.C. DURFEE HIGH SCHOOL in FALL RIVER, MASSACHUSETTS PUBLISHED by the CLASS of NINETEEN FORTY-ONE DIED FEBRUARY 20. 1941 M-----She knew at heart that every individual was important, just as she was important to herself, and, she hoped, to others; that in the world scheme every one might be of infinite value. She knew, too, that her success as a teacher lay in the sum of the impressions she made on these single, separate lives,” Quotation from 'A Prayer for Teachers1' written by Miss Townsend in 1938, Graham L. Shovelton Edtior-in-C hhf Frederic N. Alderman Business Manager William f. Rigby Assistant 8 tot ness Manager Gladys Robertshaw Staff Typist Warren Zundell Assistant Business Manager Hoping that some day you may open this book and recall pleasant memories of your stay at Durfee, we, the staff, give you this reminder of the happiest years of your life. 0 0 0 0 In the compiling of any record, it becomes necessary at times to seek help from many sources. The Record Book Staff found such help not only necessary but indispensable. We wish to thaiik all those who contributed even a small part to the success of our work. Especially are we indebted to our faculty advisors, Mr. John V. Donnelly, Mr. Malcolm G. Salmond, and Miss Katherine L. Hogan, without whose help we would not have been able to complete our work. We thank the presidents and advisors of the various student organiza- tions for supplying us with pictures and information regarding their clubs. We wish to thank Robert He!lens '43 of the Camera Club for the use of his composite picture of Durfee scenes and for his help in supplying the Record Book with pictures. S. A.

Now that you are about to leave school you are keenly interested in the journey that lies ahead. In these critical days when Pres- ervation oi democracies — Conscription of youth”— National defense — Exhorbitant taxation and many similar phrases are resounding in the streets, stores, homes, and wherever people gather you are unusually perplexed about the future. College with years of training, defense jobs with high wages, and enlistment in army, navy or air corps mingle in a hazy picture before you as you try to choose your future path, Although industry and your country are in dire need of men you must seri- ously consider both the immediate and more distant future before you make your final decision. If you are prepared and had planned to go to college remember that your country always has and always will need engineers, doctors, clergymen, and many other colLege-trained people. So don’t let well intended but misplaced patriotism or good jobs lure you away from your previous plan to have some years of college preparation for your chosen life-work. The present crisis demands that you, the graduate of today, together with all adults of this country, renew your faith in the principles of democracy, that you firmly believe that your form of government (with flaw's? yes) is far superior to the totali- tarian type, and you are willing, if necessary, to sacrifice everything to defend your country against aggression. Your high school education has trained you to assume the initial responsibilities of community citizenship. Your own character, personality, degree of effort, mental alertness, line of study, condition of health, and power of application will in a large measure determine your careers. I hope that motivated by high ideals of service and pride in American citizen- ship you will make the most of your oppoftunties and abilities to attain the highest degree of success and happiness.

The membership drive conducted soon after the opening of the school year resulted in more than 1700 members. Some of the year’s projects were: three matinee socials, the Officers’ Banquet, the Pigskin Hop, the AI1-A Plaque, the Football Banquet, and the awarding of deltas and certificates. One of the year's outstanding events was the S.A.A. membership assembly at which the Glee Club of Massachusetts State College gave a most enjoyable program. The Durfee Council was honored this year in holding two offices in the National Association of Student Councils. William A. Carroll served as president and Ruth I. Riley as secretary. The faculty advisors were Miss Alice G. Langford, Mr. James F. Coni in, and Miss Anne L. O'Neil, treasurer. 110 (Home Cf oam CDirectors OFFICERS President ELDRIDGE LEEMTNG Vice-President and Secretary ALICE INGHAM The Home Room Directors make up a most helpful and cooperative group, They assist in the sale of tickets for plays, operettas, S.A.A. membership, and, indeed, for most activities on the school calendar. In home rooms during the opening exercises the directors check the attendance, read the notices, pass out material, and perform many duties. This is the second year during which the representatives of the home room direc- tors have served as the lower body to the S.A.A. A committee is chosen to plan and lead an informal discussion at a meeting, which is held after school on the last Thurs- day in every month. Each director then takes back to the home room a summary of the meetings, with the hope that it will help all students to improve their general attitude and conduct in school. The Home Room Directors Group is one of the largest organizations in the school and renders valuable service to the teachers as well as to the pupils. The faculty advisor is Miss Mildred V. Carroll. Ill After having its brilliance hidden by its sister organizations, the Chorus and Orchestra for many years, the B. M, C. Durfee Band in the 1940-41 season finally came into its own, due to new uniforms, a new leader, and a new spirit. Under the capable leadership of Miss Rita M. Ford, the 4Q- 4l edition of the band electrified many by its splendid music at numerous school events. During the football season, it performed at all the football games and its march- ing activities, thanks to Mr. Ambrose Keetey, who so graciously consented to help in that field, were well received by the onlookers at the various games. Throughout the winter season the band was engrossed in its rehearsal for the annual concert of the Durfee musical groups, in which the band was to participate for the first time. At the concert the band was well received and its offerings were roundly applauded. At the end ol the concert many favorable comments were heard about the splendid performance of the band, and so it would seem that the band was highly successful in its concert debut. The next engagement on the band's calendar was the Spring Music Festival, held in Plymouth, May 17, at which the band marched in the parade and performed in the mass band. When the end of the year finally came, all the senior band members agreed that it had been the most successful year in their three year membership, and to a man they wished Miss Ford and the bands to come all possible success. 112 Sfke a m e ra OFFICERS President SERAPHIN L, REIS Vice-President RUTH ODD1E T reasmer HENRY PAUL Secretary CATHERINE KAP1TAN The Durfee Camera Club organized, in 1938 is open to all students who have a sincere interest in photography. Members of the Camera Club find photography a very interesting and educational hobby. Exhibitions and competitive displays, as well as lectures, discussions, printing, and enlarging photographs, are included in the club's activities. The Durfee Camera Club possesses a completely equipped dark room which the students use. Emblems .signifying membership in the Camera Club are worn by members in good standing. This dub is also active socially. The faculty advisor is Mr. Joseph J. Lawlor. 113 (3 o m t n ere t a I (3 It t b OFFICERS President FRANK McCOY V ice-President Secretary JULIETTE LARRIVEE EILEEN SOUZA T redsurer ALFRED ZERVIS The Commercial Club, an organization made up of members of the Senior Class who are taking the Commercial Course and who have attained an average of 82% in English, had a dub membership of 124. Because this was a small and selected group, the club was able to accomplish much more than in previous years. Classes in salesmanship, civil service examinations, advanced shorthand, and type- writing were conducted after school hours in accordance with the dub’s aim to pro- mote efficiency in commercial work. The club has also held several assemblies during school hours; among them were the Stenotype Assembly at which a demonstration of the Stenotoype machine was given, and the Typewriting Assembly which featured the World’s Champion Typist, Miss Grace Phelan. Club meetings for social and business purposes were held after school and at these meetings the members were privileged to hear interesting talks by prominent business men. The most outstanding of the club's activities in a socially active year were the Get Together Party held at the beginning of the sdiool year and the annual dub picnic held in June. Both of these affairs were very successful. The faculty advisor is Miss Isabelle E. O'Neil. 114 (Debating Despite the complete lack of veterans, the Durfee debating team developed rapidly. The speakers, Russell Remick and David Israel of the affirmative, John Breen and Arnold Zais of the negative, acquired fluency and smoothness with each debate. The subject, Resolved, That the power of the Federal government should be increased, was unusually broad and difficult, but the debaters acquired an extensive background and were at ease at all times. The season started in February when the Durfee negative was edged by the La Salle negative. The debaters more than made up for the loss by winning the N. F. L. district championship held at Barnstable two weeks later. Arnold Zais scored another first for Durfee by winning the extempore speaking. Other speakers helped amass a 39 1 2 point total to win the tournament championship. Competing against the representatives of thirty-two schools in the state N. F. L. tournament at Northampton, Durfee tied for fourth in debate and placed sixth in total point standing. John Breen, the only speaker to place, won fourth place in original oratory. The season closed when the Durfee affirmative scored a unanimous decision over La Salle Academy. The faculty advisor is Mr. William F. Kay lor. 115 Time; Place; Cast: Miss W,: Principal C,: B.

Why yes, Miss Wellington. When do you want it? Some time in April. Say the eighteenth. Well, that seems all right to me. Miss Wellington, I've just posted the bulletin announcing the tryouts . . , Has Mr. Carroll consented to let us have the auditorium? Yes, I have. I’m always willing to grant your club use of the stage. What are you planning now? We’re attempting a three-act play this year. It's the comedy, What a Life f with a student-teacher cast. Will you take a part? That sounds very interesting, but er-er I’m too busy just now. Tell me, just how many things the Dramatic Club sponsored this year? The first thing wre did was to take in seventy new members. Then we had a mystery walk. The dub then put on an Annual Matinee; four original one-act plays written by club members. We put on the entire production without faculty help, But luckily, Miss Wellington and Miss Leonard helped us with the dress rehearsal. Without their suggestions the production, would have fallen short. 1 saw the performance and enjoyed it immensely. Then wre admitted new members into the National Thespian Honor Society, a branch of the Dramatic Club. Only students who have proven themselves worthy are admitted. It's a reward for their work in Dramatic Club productions. We gave them a folly Christmas party for Thespian Alumni, Then we presented three one-act plays called Curtain at 8.” We also repeated many plays outside of school. It’s a lot of fun for us and for the audiences. The next production was “Novelty Nite.'1 This is our variety show. All club members have an opportunity to show their talents. Right after that twenty-eight of us attended the Massachusetts Drama Festival at Fitchburg. We enter a play every year in this Festival. And the next thing is to be the full-evening play. Will this end up the club’s activities for the year? By no means, After the play wre have parties to plan. Also, w e have the annual Thespian play to produce, the Thespian picnic and our club banquet with our teacher-actor friends as guests. The Dramatic Club certainly is a lively organization. And you do a lot for Durfee. Good luck on your next production and the greatest success to all your activities, 1941 seems to have been a banner year. 116 The Loan of a Lover A Beggar on Horse back Thespian Initiation What A Life The Birthday of the Infanta Novelty Nite Actors Drama Festival Players Bimbo, the Pirate OFFICERS Pres Jet it WILLIAM HALLIWELL Vice-President Secretary ALINDO CARDELLI FARRELL McCABE T reasurer ROBERT CUSTER The Electrical Club had a successful year under the guidance of President William Halliwell assisted by the faculty advisors, Mr. Myron T. Ashley and Mr. Henry |. Shea, The Electrical Club is one of the many extra-curricular activities of the school which has a constitution sanctioned by the S. A. A. The purpose of the club is to create a greater interest in electricity and to promote greater cooperation between mem- bers of the club and men in the electrical held. The meetings of the club were held every other week and the members of the club usually listened to a speaker or visited local or nearby plants to further their knowledge in electricity . This year, due to the National Defense Program, the club encountered some difficulty in arranging visits to various plants. However, the man- agers of the plants have been very cooperative and helpful and trips of interest to the dub members were made. 1 IB :S ouaclrt ying Qjquaaron OFFICERS Commander Lieut.

In addition to the main purpose of promoting interest in aviation among the students of the B. M. C. Durfee High School, the club tries to give the members a general view of the aviation industry as a whole. The first activity of any importance was the Roller Skating Party, where the mem- bers became acquainted. Later in the year the members conducted an Open House in which several qf them demonstrated or lectured on the phase of aviation that in- terested them most. At the end of April, a tour of one of the smaller nearby airports was conducted and several members went up,” many for the first time. During May, a program of motion pictures was shown for both outsiders and members. An examina- tion was held early in June on all the material studied during the year, and those who passed were awarded winged pins. Before the seniors left in June the big event of the year took place; all members in good standing were taken for an extended flight. Mr. Edward B. Downs is faculty advisor of the club. 119 ®. in e tturf OFFICERS President EDNA M.

The Forum annually sponsors the debating teams and promotes public speaking and forensic activity among the student body at Durfce. Meetings held bi-weekly provide students an opportunity for an interchange of ideas, debates, and round table discussions of current affairs. Speakers who are recognized in their special fields are invited to give talks after which an open forum is conducted. The year’s program is concluded with a banquet. Mr. Thomas Doran is faculty advisor. 120 The Durfee Hilltop, weekly newspaper published by the members of the Jour- nalism class, completes its nineteenth year as official news organ of the school. Issued thirty times a year, and sold mostly on a subscription basis. The Hilltop has for many years been the necessary unifying agency between regular studies and extra-curricuIar activities. Besides acting as a medium between the work and the play of school life. The Hilltop also has another purpose. It gives experience to those students who are inter- ested in journalism, and enables them to put into actual practice the fundamentals they have learned in Journalism I, a pre-requisite for membership on the staff. Under the faculty guidance of Mr. John T. Crowley, the staff this year con- sisted of the following: Editor-m-Chief—Arnold Zais Business Manager—Ruth E.

Its membership is made up of students from the three upper classes who are selected because of their scholastic standing, dependability, and cooperation. Each morning from eight o'clock to eight fifteen, four aids are on duty to issue passes and to check returned books. Other duties of the aids are: to collect and take passes to the study halls each period, to locate pupils absent from the library, to keep books arranged in an orderly way upon the shelves according to the Dewey Decimal System, to assist the students in finding material, to prepare new books for the shelves, and, in general, to keep the library in order. This year all pupils in the sophomore class were assigned to regular Library Science classes. The aids assist here in checking attendance and papers. The duties of the aids are not confined to the library for they are often called upon by teachers to render efficient service elsewhere. The aim of the Library Aids is to be helpful in the school in every way. 122 RECEIVING LIBRARY PASSES CHARGING BOOKS FACULTY TABLE 1 OFFICERS President DAVID ISRAEL 43 Vice-President Secretary VERA GALVIN ’41 RUTH SHERLOG ’42 Far seven years the Durfee Literary Club has offered students interested in crea- tive writing an opportunity to come together and discuss their efforts. Bi-weekly meet- ings are held in Room 11 A with Faculty Advisor Ambrose F. Keeley. The purpose of the club is to develop literary style and stimulate intelligent criti- cism. All manuscripts are submitted voluntarily by the members. This year’s short stories, autobiographies, character sketches, satires, one-act plays, book reviews, and poems have added another successful season to the club’s career. 124 cJke 11 citio na I Bio nor Society OFFICERS President NENA KONDOS Vjce-PresidWjfp Secretary JULIETTE LARRIVEE CONSTANCE O. BRIGHAM The National Honor Society, as its name implies, is a purely honorary organi- zation, In the three years of its existence, it has grown in importance, and juniors and seniors, who make up its membership, look forward to the elections to it. These students, chosen on the basis of character, service, leadership, and scholarship, are formally inducted into the society at an inspiring ceremony. Last year an evening program was given, and relatives and friends who attended were very much impressed by the dignity and solemnity of the exercises. This club truly holds an important place in school life. The faculty advisor is Miss Mildred V. Carroll. 125 (Orchestra ane e , ortis The Orchestra and Chorus, directed by Miss. Helen L. Ladd, had a busy year. The first public performance was given in December when the Chorus sang Christmas Carols, while walking through the corridors of the school. This group sang for the Rotary Club and broadcast from the City Hall during the Christ- inas season. Members from both groups participated in the Massachusetts All-State Orchestra and Chorus at Boston in January. This orchestra will be reorganized to play for the National Education Association at its convention in Boston, July 1st. The Orchestra, composed of sixty musicians, cooperated with the Chorus, num- bering seventy-five, to produce the Gilbert and Sullivan Operetta H.M.S. Pinafore” in February. The operetta was a great success. Our annual concert was given in April. This year the Band also took part in the concert. After the concert, members of the Orchestra, Chorus, and Band, and alumni of these organizations enjoyed a dinner dance at the Mellen Hotel. At that time, it was decided to organize a Musical Alumni Association. Membership in this association will be held by those who participated in any musical organization during their high school days. This year, for the first time, several members of the Orchestra were honored by being selected as members in the New Hampshire Seacoast Music Festival Orchestra. In May, the Orchestra and Chorus travelled to Plymouth to take part in the Massachusetts State Festival. The final public appearance of the Orchestra was at the Class Day and Graduation Exercises of the Senior Class. Officers for the Orchestra were: joint Concert Masters—Florence Nadien, Edward Sanocki Business Manager—Fanny Shabshclowitz Librarian—Frances Skrzypiec Officers for the Chorus were: President—Edward Marr Business Manager—Edward Bowren Librarian—Elaine Rougas 126 oanco Since over three thousand pupils in Durfee make use of both the girls’ and boys’ cafeterias daily, one can easily see that it is important that pupils conduct themselves orderly. The Sanco Guides have the responsibility of seeing that the following suggestions are carried out: Pupils are to be seated at tables. Trays must be used by everyone. Books are to be placed on the shelves underneath the chairs. When lunch is finished, pupils are to replace the chairs at the tables. Trays should be emptied, silverware separated, and both put back in their desig- nated places. Entrances to the cafeterias are to be clear at all times. Pupils are to finish their lunches, before leaving the cafeterias. The following girls, under the supervision of Miss Sylvia W. Seagrave and Miss Hilda I. Smolensky, faculty advisors, direct this project in the girls cafeteria: Irene Desrochers, Margaret Howard, Dorothy Kennedy, Marie McShane, Olivia Mello, Mary Newton, Pearl Slavitsky, Elizabeth Stone. The following boys, under the direction of Mr. John J. Harrington, faculty advisor, carry out the same work in the boys’ cafeteria: Thomas Hutchins, Francis Murphy, Louis Pevide and Norman Talbot. 128 OFFICERS Co-Captains GEORGE SCHRAER and DONALD COLE First Lieutenants EDWARD BENTO, ERNEST PETTY, BERNARD CHOUINARD, LEON PULOWSKI Scribe FLORENCE FARIA Second Lieutenants GRAHAM SHOVELTON, HAROLD TAYLOR, GEORGE CAMPOS, SIDNEY SCHAEFFER For many years the B. M. C. Durfee Traffic Squad under the splendid leadership of Miss E, Estelle Miles has efficiently controlled the corridors and stairways of the Durfee and Technical buildings. Like its predecessors, the 1940-41 edition of the Traffic Squad performed faith- fully its assigned duties. Led by Co-Captains George Schraer and Donald Cole, the squad kepi, the lines of pupils moving and succeeded in getting them to class on time, at least most of them. An important part of the squad's duties is keeping that section of Rock Street between the two schools clear for the passing of pupils. This important task was done by N. Y. A. pupils before and after school and by regularly appointed traffic officers between periods. The last official appearance of the Traffic Squad was at the Class Day exercises when the officers kept the crowd in order. As every senior traffic officer saw his fellow officers working, it was evident that he wished them all the luck and success in future -rears. 1 129 IJoiing (Drivers' Association President JOSEPH B. ISHERWOOD V ice-President Secretary RUSSELL LAWTON JEAN HALL AS 5 ergeant-At- Arms ROGER CARROLL The Young Drivers’ Association was organized in February, 1938. The purpose of the club is to promote safe driving among students at Durfee and to cooperate with local authorities in bringing about highway safety. This year, the club wFas able to obtain from the school department copies of 'Man and the Motor Car,” a book which has received the approval of Frank A. Goodwin, Registrar of Motor Vehicles for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. These books were used by members of the club during the year and will be used from year to year to help teach the very necessary lessons of safe automobile driving. As in previous years, the club again supplied cars and drivers for the distribu- tion of the Health Club s Thanksgiving baskets to the needy families in the city. Mr. John V. Donnelly is the faculty advisor. 130 J Cutographs A cheering squad of girls was fully organized first in 1932-33. From that time on, the popularity of cheerleaders at Dnrfee has steadily increased. This year the cheerleaders were under the able direction of Miss Esther Yamins. Because of the large number of applicants for positions on the squad, an elimina- tion meet was held. In the finals two seniors, Lucy DuBanevich and Mary Malone, were chosen to act as co-captains of a squad of thirteen junior and sophomore assistants. Regular practice sessions were held in ability at pep rallies’1 and athletic contests. The girls were present at all football inspiration and encouragement to the Leam.

Its purpose is to stimulate interest in athletics for girls and to assist the gym teacher in furthering this work. Membership in the dub is open to those seniors and juniors who have earned their numerals. Sophomores who have shown promise are admitted to the club but to continue as members it is compulsory that they earn their numerals by the end of the year. Numerals are earned by participating in some after-school sport such as basket- ball, volleyball, softball, or tennis. Christmas, Valentine, ice skating, bowling, roller skating and picnic parties were some of the social gatherings held during the year by the club members. The dub also cooperated with the teachers in helping with the presentation of the Spring Festival, an exhibition of recreational activities. The faculty advisor is Miss Virginia W. Frost. 135 of ooI hall The 1940 Football Team, although smaller in size than previous Durfee elevens, made up for this difference by its spirit and will to win. Due to the fine teachings of Coach Nawrocki and Assistant Coach Dagata, the team was able to compile a fairly successful record. The highlights of the season were the defeat of a powerful Taunton team, and a scoreless tie with a mighty North Attleboro machine. Captain Ed” Ouellette, who played great ball at end, and '’Jackie” Carey, who was outstanding at center, brought honor and glory to Durfee by being placed on the All-Bristol County Eleven. Outstanding seniors were: Henry Degnan Walter Jata Farrell McCabe Raymond Shovel ton Henry Paul John Matte 13 6 (Baseball Paced by Captain Roland Ouelette, Durfee High's baseball team has compiled an excellent seasonal record. The Red and Black defeated Taunton twice in the early stages of the schedule and Ouellette's pitching and hitting featured the victories. A fine leader, Ouellette is a three year veteran, whose all round ability has car- ried Durfee High to many wins. Other senior members of the varsity are: Henry Murphy, peppy shortstop, Cliff' Winslow, an outfielder, 'Bill'’ Levitre and Ray'’ Paradise, catchers. All of these boys are lettermen, Sanford Lipshits, second baseman, made his numerals for the past two seasons, along with pitcher Bill'' Cripps, Both Brad McDermott, southpaw hurler, and leftfieider Bill” Varanese, were members of the squad in their sophomore semester. These boys are certain letter winners for 1941. Other Senior members of the varsity are: Henry Paul, Raymond Shovelton, Ed” Maurer, and John Sullivan. Paul plays rightfield; Shovelton sparked at bat and on first base, while Maurer’s third base play left little to be desired. Junior class members of the squad are Albert St. Amour, William Nelson, and Joseph Medeiros, The sophomores point with pride to Milne Brady, Milton Dunlop, Norman Kaplan, Norman Chatterton, and Jerry” Campbell, Frank Thompson is manager of the team, which under the spirited and expert guidance of Coaches Urban and Hathaway, has gone a long way towards establishing Durfee High as a distinct schoolboy baseball power. The assistant managers are Harvey Donnelly and Matthew Shea, The lineup—W. Levitre, R. Paradise C; Capt. R. Ouelette, J. B. McDermott, W. Cripps P; R. Shovelton 1st; S. Lipshitz 2nd; H. Murphy SS; E.

The team was under three captains, Ted’' Devitt, Ray Shovelton, and ’ Ed” Kret, Kret was inactive due to an injury suffered in the football season. The team entered the Principals Tournament but was defeated by New Bed- ford Vocational in the semi-finals. At the end of the season, seven men received Varsity letters. The graduating members are: Captains Hd Kret, Ray” Shovelton, and Ted” Devitt, and John Matte, AT Nichols, Jim Manning, and Manager Farrell McCabe. Norm'1 Rivard is the only letterman returning, and is, therefore, the only eligible candidate for next season's captaincy. 138 CJ earns Some sixteen enthusiastic and hopeful tennis players answered Coach Ambrose Keeley’s call for team candidates late in April. Among those almost certain to repre- sent Durfee on the clay courts are Captain 'Ted1' Mar '”41, ’Tom” McPadden '4l!, and Bob’’ O’Keefe '41, all members of last year’s undefeated championship squad, and Jim Whalen 41, who last year represented De La Salle Academy and stroked the ball from the other side of the net. Manager Russ” Remick '41 has arranged an attractive schedule which will provide stiff competition from the opening meeting with Moses Brown School in Providence to the closing match shortly before graduation. Many members of the Class of 1941 showed a keen interest in track activities as early as their freshman year and consequently have become outstanding performers on the track squad. In the two interclass meets held this year the senior team easily finished first. The leading senior performers were: Captain John Soares, Joseph Dowd, Walter Fitzgerald, Frank McCoy, and Warren Zundell. Soares threw the discuss and put the shot while Dowd performed in the pole vault. Fitzgerald ran the hundred and McCoy took care of the 440 and 880 yard runs. Warren Zundell featured the 220 yard dash. The team was managed by Albert Hollins and coached by Mr. Andrew L. Duffy. 139 {Varsity dub President EDWARD F. KRET Vice-President HENRY PAUL OFFICERS Secretary ARTHUR ROONEY Student Treasurer JACOB JANUSZ The Varsity Club, composed of Durfee Iettermen, aims to further interest in com- petitive athletics, to promote school spirit, and to develop high ideals of sportmanship. During the winter months the dub sponsored a Varsity Sports Night, the proceeds of which were used to purchase sweaters for the iettermen. It was estimated that more than one thousand attended and enjoyed the boxing and wrestling bouts staged by the members of the club and their school friends. The club looks back at this event with pride for its success surpassed that of other years. Sweaters were awarded to iettermen.
