And we pledge our faith to the shining folds. And we think of those who have heard the call To give for the flag all the future holds. We hear once more young voices gay That joined with ours in the refrain That follows the hymn and the prayer each day And we see in our midst our boys again. We know those strong young hands are set At all the sterner tasks of war. And those young eyes our own have met Face death for us in scenes afar. We think of those who in days gone by Have fought for that flag on land and sea With dauntless hearts and purpose high. And won the holy wars of liberty 1 And we know in these days when souls are tried Our men went forth in their country's need To exalt that flag, whate'er betide, Sons of the fathers, in word and deed. We think of the present and we think of the past. We have given our best and we pledge our all In life and in death, while time shall last. To our country's flag, on the schoolroom wall. Mary G. Osborn THE REDJACKET Published, by THE SENIOR CLASS 1941 East Senior High School PAWTUCKET RHODE ISLAND Foreword THE class of 1941 is graduating into a chaotic world. Youth is more than ever imbued with a fervor for our country and its democratic institutions. We realize that no other nation is able to offer the opportunities or the freedom found here. It is a thoughtful youth that pays tribute to the Stars and Stripes, the symbol of a great nation. Faced with compulsory military training and with the possible overthrow of the treasured plans for our future, we are naturally bewildered, yet not overwhelmed. The graduates of today are not unaware of the seriousness of the world into which they are going. It is with deep earnestness and real consecration that we have uttered the familiar words: I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America. When duty whispers low 'Thou must’, The youth replies 'I can.' ” William J. Dailey, Editor-in-Chief DEDICATION TO OUR PRINCIPAL. A NEW FRIEND WHO HAS PROVED HIMSELF EVERYBODY'S FRIEND.

Oberlin. Ohio, is a graduate of Pawtucket High School in the class of 1898. After leaving high school he entered Brown University, earning the degrees of A.B. and A.M. in 1902 and 1903. He began his teaching career as an instructor in English at Ohio Wesleyan University and the following year became Headmaster in English at the University-Flexner School, Louisville. Kentucky. In 1907 he assumed the position of Instructor in English at Oberlin College, becoming later Associate Professor of Literature, a position which he holds at the present time. Professor Sherman is a former President and Fellow of the Rowfant Club, the second of the leading Book Clubs in America. He has coached and produced upwards of two hundred plays for amateur groups, ranging from grammar school to semi-professionals in urban centers. He has travelled extensively in England and has had the privilege of knowing personally many men of letters, among others. Arthur Henry Bullen. the Elizabethan scholar in Stratford-on-Avon. Mme. Perugini (Charles Dickens' daughter), Sir Edmond Gosse, Austin Dobson. Lady Ritchie (Thackeray’s daughter), Gordon Wordsworth, and William Butler Yeats. During these last thirty years Professor Sherman's activities have been most interesting and varied. He has given lectures and addresses on material in the field of literature, the theater, and the drama. For twenty years he served as director of the Oberlin College Dramatic Association. In addition to the home productions, the Club appeared under alumni and other auspices in Toledo, Detroit, Chicago, Philadelphia. Washington. D. C.. New York. Boston, and other cities. The players travelled in a private Pullman and carried a full equipment of scenery, costumes, and lighting effects. Professor Sherman also served as adviser to foreign students and di- rector of the Oberlin College Cosmopolitan Club. At times between twenty-five and thirty nationalities were represented in this group. Much of Professor Sherman's time has been devoted to writing. He has written special articles on the Elizabethan Theater, the modern drama. English and American Literature, travel in England and the United States, foreign students in American colleges, book reviews, and general feature stories in the leading newspapers of the country. He has done much editing for various publishing houses, among other classics, Kinsley's Westward Ho! , “Selections from Wordsworth”, and Selections from American Prose . At present he is working on an edition of Thoreau's “Walden, annotated by Thoreau himself, to be published in 1942 by the Rowfant Club. During all these years Professor Sherman’s library has been of utmost importance to him. He says. Aside from teaching, my life's work has been the formation of a library of English and American books. I am. I suppose, what is generally called a booklover in the fullest sense of the word. The love of books, the material in them, the paper, the printing, the binding, and the men and women who wrote them—all these have been literally a passion with me. Many of my books came to me as gifts from the authors, members of their families. or friends. Many of the books contain original manuscripts, original drawings, and illustrations, all of which give them an intensely personal interest. Brown University is to be the owner of this valuable collection of books, as a memorial to Professor Sherman's great teacher and friend, Harry Lyman Koopman. No one can measure the influence and inspiration of a man such as Philip Darrell Sherman. The Class of 1941 is proud to pay tribute to this graduate who has won recognition as a teacher of English, lecturer, and writer. Dorothea Conkey REV. HAROLD L. SWEET Reverend Harold Lawrence Sweet AMONG the most promising young men to graduate from Pawtucket High School in recent years was the Reverend Harold Lawrence Sweet, late rector of the Church of the Advent. Pawtucket. At his untimely death in May. 1940. this young man was known throughout Rhode Island as one of the state's best loved ministers. Harold Sweet was born in North Providence on February 20. 1905. Even as a boy the Church was his main interest. During his boyhood he was identified with the work of the Church of the Messiah. Providence. He graduated from Pawtucket High School, class of 1926. In the fall of the same year he entered Carleton College, Minnesota. Upon completion of the prescribed course there he took special theological courses at Nashotah House, an Episcopal seminary in Nashotah. Wisconsin, and Berkeley Divinity School affiliated with Yale University. Mr. Sweet returned to Rhode Island in 1933 and for two years did supply work in the Providence diocese. In the summer of 1934 he substituted at the Church of the Messiah during the absence of Rev. John Morris Evans. D.D. It was from this church that the young curate entered the ministry. In January of that year he first became connected with the Church of the Advent as assistant recor to the Rev. Seelye Bryant, and on November 1 he succeeded the retiring pastor as rector. Under his leadership the church prospered. He was able to cut down the parish debt materially and was largely responsible for the largest confirmation class in years. The young priest's warm friendliness and winning personality soon won him the love of the entire congregation. In a very short time he had more than doubled the number of baptisms and was warmly commended by his bishop for his excellent work. For five short useful years Father Sweet was the beloved teacher and friend of every person in his little parish. The atmosphere of his church was always pleasant, for he had a fine sense of humor and a hearty, contagious laugh. The old and infirm were always his first concern. He never failed to call upon a sick parishioner, and these little visits always were calming and soothing. In May. 1940, the young rector decided to take a well-earned vacation and visit Canada. He had reached Buffalo. New York, when he was suddenly stricken with appendicitis. He failed to recover from an emergency operation, and on May 27 the youthful priest went to meet the God to Whose service he had devoted the thirty-five years of his life. Father Sweet is truly deserving of any honor that we are able to pay him. It is with deep respect and sincere admiration that we. the Class of 1941. pay homage to a man who was so fine a citizen of his community and so truly a religious leader.

Myrtle Goldberg Class Book Board ANOTHER year rolls around, bringing with it the Herculean task for the 1941 Class Book Board of producing a REDJACKET of the standards set by REDJACKETS of previous years. Because we agree with Robert Louis Stevenson that a preface is more than an author can resist , we shall show ourselves for a moment ideas in hand and with a friendly demeanor. Nobody realizes the tremendous amount of work entailed in producing a book of this sort until he actually participates in it. Fortunately each member of the Class Book Board has cooperated fully to complete a product of which we hope the Class of 1941 will be proud. Through these long weeks of preparation we have been grateful for the kindly help of faculty members who have given unlimited time and advice. To Miss Nellie V. Donovan, our beloved faculty adviser, the Class Book Board is deeply indebted. To Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter, head of the Art Department, whose experience and talent is evidenced in the excellent work of students under her guiding hand, we pay tribute. We also express our appreciation to Raynor Ahmuty. our art editor, whose boundless energy and originality have produced for the Class Book art work of superior quality. And to Myrtle Goldberg, our business manager, we pay special tribute for her untiring efforts in making the 1941 Class Book financially successful. We hope that these reminiscences of our days at East Pawtucket High will recall happy memories so that in years to come we may see here all that we loved long since and lost awhile .

The Boys of '98 FEW college classes can boast of a more wonderful bond of friendship than that which has kept the Boys of ’98 together for the past forty-three years. Every year since their graduation they have held a reunion. Certainly this is a record of which they can well be proud. They held their first reunion at the To Kalon Club. No girls were present. Why? The boys themselves really don’t know, and now the absence of the girls has become an unwritten law. Two years of their high school course were spent in a rather makeshift school: it consisted of two buildings on the corner of High and Exchange Streets. Then the class moved to Pawtucket’s first real senior high school—the school which is now the Joseph Jenks Junior High. William A. Readio. perpetual secretary of the class, entertained me with recollections of those halcyon days. An initiation was being held by the Sumner Lyceum, the boys’ debating society. The members-to-be, blindfolded, of course, went through all sorts of ridiculous actions, ignorant of the fact that their principal. Mr. Curtis, our Miss Curtis’ father, was standing on the sidelines enjoying every bit of it. Another time, unknown to Mr. Curtis, the boys and janitors arranged to meet in the boiler room in the late hours of the night to hold some boxing matches. The leather was thrown hot and heavy.” but the boys and janitors had fun. As the years rolled on, the boys realized that in a school as large as the Pawtucket Senior High there might be some young people who, because of poverty, would be unable to complete their courses. Therefore they established a fund to help those students continue their education. During the dark years of the depression the fund was also used to buy lunches for pupils unable to buy their own. Is anything further needed to show the caliber of these alumni? The Boys of ’98” have made names for themselves. Among their illustrious number was Raymond M. Hood, one of the greatest architects our country has ever known. His greatest work is the Chicago Radio Building, though he did much in the reconstruction of Belgium after the first World War. His name is immortalized on a bronze plaque in a theater which he assisted in designing—the Roxy Theater in New York City. The example set by the Boys of ’98” is one well worth following. Meeting every year, keeping alive their famous class spirit, watching their members attain new honors, helping others reach those heights—this is the class of ’98. Gentlemen, we salute you. Morris Percelay MARY G. OSBORN Mary G. Osborn ALT HOUGH the span of life is lengthening, it is yet given to few to follow a calling for half a century, much less the teaching profession, perhaps, where inside alloy and outside allure cut across continuity of career. Of these few was numbered Mary George Osborn, who taught in the Pawtucket High school for forty-six years and whose teaching assignments rounded out five decades. She came to our high school in April. 1895, and taught English for the remainder of the school year. The following term, however, she began to teach history and throughout the years her name and history courses have been spoken in the same breath. In his report of 1895, Principal William W. Curtis pointed out “the whole number registered during the year 283. Thirty-five pupils were graduated in June. T his is the largest class in the history of the school. When Mary Osborn completed the school year in 1940 the graduating class consisted of 666 pupils—333 boys and 333 girls, mirabile dictu—and the senior high school faculty of 1 16 teachers, plus, of course, for purposes of comparison, some of the 134 teachers of the junior high schools. So at the beginning and at the end of her teaching career in Pawtucket Miss Osborn taught the largest graduating class. In passing it may be noted that among those graduated in 1895, in the college preparatory course, was Myra Budlong Booth, later to become associated for years with Miss Osborn in teaching at the high school. Mary G. Osborn was by training, disposition and endowment naturally fitted for teaching. And teaching was naturally adopted as a vocation by her sister, Sarah M. Osborn, who came to the high school in 1905 as teacher of Latin. They were both the daughters of Rev. Joseph W. and Martha (George) Osborn. Mary was born in Grantham. New Hampshire, October 24. 1863. The family moved eight months later to Swansea. Massachusetts. The father, who had received his A.B. and A.M. degrees from Lebanon College and Ph.D. from Union College, had entered the ministry and was called to the pastorate of the Christian Church in Swansea. Mary was graduated from the Warren. Rhode Island, High School and the Rhode Island Normal School—now Rhode Island College of Education. Then she taught in the district school in Swansea and later in Barrington. Rhode Island. She entered Wellesley College, but left when her father died, and taught for a year in the Warren High School. She returned to Wellesley and received her A.B. in 1892. Then she taught in the high schools in Lee and Braintree, Massachusetts. before coming to Pawtucket in 1895. At Wellesley she had majored in English and history, at Brown in 1900 she received her A.M. in history, and it is with history that her name is inseparably associated with our high school. At Wellesley she had been a member of the Shakespeare Society and was especially interested in English literature. But when she planned for an A.B. and found Greek was required, she completed three years of preparatory Greek in one year in addition to her regular college work—a record unsurpassed at Wellesley before or since. She had a keen sense of values. She appraised. she evaluated, she got behind the events themselves for a broad picture of conditions and causes. She had the knowledge and information herself, but more than that, she was a real teacher and could impart them to her pupils. She appreciated always the sense of humor in history and had a fund of apropos stories and incidents to illustrate, accentuate, emphasize and impress. She kept abreast of history by continued study even in vacation, wrote but little for outside publications, and devoted her time, energy and knowledge to her school work. She went outside only to teach at St. Paul's Sunday School, and there she taught church and mission history for 1 5 years, until 1938. When June, 1940, passed she planned as usual to return to Pawtucket High School in September; but illness prevented, and six months later. March 20. 1941. the Great Teacher beckoned, the East High bells faded and Mary G. Osborn joined a higher faculty where tenure is eternal. James G. Connolly. 1905 ■ MYRA B. BOOTH Myra Budlong Booth SOMEHOW 1 could never think of Miss Booth as merely a teacher. She was something more, something different, almost of a race apart. Yet she had, of course, all the attributes necessary for making a success of her teaching career. She commanded respect. She was a source of constant inspiration. She had succeeded in marrying a ready wit with the toleration of wisdom. She loved her subject and made her students love it with her. But all these qualities were secondary to her excellent taste and her critical ability. This amazing critical ability was manifested not only in her discussions of literature but also in her treatment of people. Too many of us. far too many of us, have the ability only to criticize subjectively. Miss Booth had an objective yardstick which measured with uncanny accuracy the pupils with whom she came in contact. No person who made an honest and sincere effort to learn was ever found wanting according to her system of measurement, but woe be to him who failed to give his utmost. On such occasions the subject of her righteous indignation would depart, a chastened but wiser young man. She brought a certain eagerness and a vivacious. sparkling enthusiasm to whatever was the task of the moment, were it the reading of a scene from Macbeth or the recitation of a nursery rhyme, the elucidation of a deeply hidden allusion in Milton or a sardonic discourse on Herrick's conception of the transitoriness of life. She could spend an hour telling of the benefits of a classical education, and another hour telling of the merits of novelists and poets on the contemporary scene. The range of her knowledge was surprisingly wide, yet she possessed the humility and toleration that is associated with true wisdom. She is mourned by her associates, but is mourned much more deeply by her former students, recipients as they were of the charms of her inspiring personality. Elmer M. Blistein, ’38 THEN William Moskowitz came into a schoolroom it was as if all the ’’ lights had been turned on: when he said good morning in his homeroom everybody suddenly realized that it was good to be at the Pawtucket High School beginning the day's work: if activity was afoot, there was Bill doing the work, competently, joyfully. All day. everywhere, he radiated happiness and kind thought, like an ambassador of good will from a Better Country. The Class of 1941. with all its youth and gayety. has in its heart a shrine for the memory of the great soul, brilliant mind, and fun-loving boy whom everybody loved. Laura M. Rogers The Noble Nature It is not growing like a tree In bulk doth make man better be: Or standing long an oak. three hundred year. To fall a log at last, dry, bald and sere: A lily of a day Is fairer far in May. Although it fall and die that night: It was the plant and flower of Light. In small proportions we just beauties see: And in short measures life may perfect be. —Ren Jonson AvHKUTV First Row. left to right: Rose Markarian. I.ois Scott. Elizabeth Boyle. Arline Aspinwall.

Class Officers v ° AO ' 0A 9-■ «- V .v x . £ cN ° , c« ,o ,v £ ' 0 V X aA iNN ' y Greetings from the Class President Fellow classmates: 1 am sure we graduate from this school as a class proud of its accomplishments and one that will always look back on the days spent here as a worthwhile and profitable experience. We shall remember East Senior High School, not as a building in itself, but rather as the institution which has prepared us to face the world that is before us. During the past three years we have attained success in every branch of school life. I hereby challenge any future graduating class to attempt to surpass our unblemished record. Some of you may continue your education in higher institutions of learning, while others, less fortunate, must set themselves immediately to work: but whichever your lot is. I'm sure you will do all in your power to bring further honor to the class of '41. Most of our success, however, would have been impossible had it not been for the aid of the capable faculty, who have shown unlimited patience in helping us solve our problems. It is our duty and obligation to go out and make them proud to have been our teachers. It has been a great privilege to have been president of such an outstanding class. May I thank you on behalf of the class officers for affording us the opportunity to serve you. In your pursuit of happiness may you continue with the same high courage and determination to succeed, always remembering “To every man there openeth A High way and a Low. And every man decideth The Way his soul shall go.

Myrtle Goldberg Morris Perce lay Last Will and Testament KNOW all men by these presents, that we of the Class of 1941 being of sound (?) mind and disposing memory do hereby make, publish, and declare this instrument to be our last will and testament, thereby revoking all wills and codicils by us at any time heretofore made. We appoint as executor the Class of 1942. and we instruct it to reimburse all those who have suffered during our three-year sojourn within the brick walls of the East Senior High School. We hereby bequeath: 1. To the Class of 1 942, all our textbooks to be taken home and diligently studied but never left in lockers, and the honor of being the only class to graduate in 1942. 2. To the Class of 1941, the illustrious title of juniors. May they never abuse this honor. 3. To the coming sophomores, the trials and tribulations caused by the upperclassmen, and the hope that they will some day hurl the same remarks that have served to humiliate them during the past year at other unfortunates. 4 . To the future Class Book Board, a lot of luck (they'll need it), a list of advertisers to struggle with, a crowd of stubborn seniors who are camera-shy. and last but not least, a printer and engraver with whom to wrangle. 5. To the next driving class, a slightly used 1941 Pontiac in as good a condition as can be expected. 6. To the girls' gymnastic classes, our collection of bottle caps which shall be used to purchase a room-length mirror. 7. To ambitious journalists, our recently established newspaper, the East Hi-Light. 8. To all coming athletes, a friendly spirit of rivalry with West High School and the annual Thanksgiving Day game with St. Raphael. 9. To those members of the student body who may be called scholars (if there be any), our sunny library to browse about in and to spend many happy hours gathering source-theme material. 10. To future chemists, a bottle of ammonia and one of alcohol to revive them after a chlorine experiment, and a wrench to open stubborn gas jets. 11. To the pep squad, our excess supply of vim and vigor to be used only in times of greatest emergency. 12. To frequent occupants of the bench, a set of magazines, puzzles, and comics so tempus really will fugit. 13. To the basketball team, Ernie Cal-verley; to the football team. Ted Znuj: and to the swimming team, Ralph Gossler. 14. To Miss Nellie V. Donovan, the English Department, which we know will continue to thrive under her capable guidance. 15. To Dr. Crosby, a trained troop of mechanical robots to assist him in straightening out the cafeteria after lunch periods have given it a thorough “going over. 16. To Miss Curtis, a talented group of amateur thespians to carry on the fine work of this year's stars. 17. To Mr. Farrell, a few letters of recommendation to major movie studios: for who can deny that East High's Adonis would serve as serious competition to Hollywood’s most handsome heroes? 18. To Lt. Robert Hyde, our sincere [94] hopes that we shall some day read of his exploits as a military genius. 19. To Mr. Masterson. our brilliant history instructor who dislikes our blaring bells, an elaborate system of chimes for the express purpose of announcing the end of the periods. 20. To Mr. Winters, our Classbook to remind him of the happy moments (and unhappy ones, too) of his first year as Principal of our school. 21. To all teachers within the Selective Service age limits, the comforting remark. A year isn’t such a long time . Class A said. Vote for Adams. For him I'll give three cheers. 'Cause he must have just what it takes To be East’s choice these years. B cried. I'm for Beaudoin. At football he's a flash; Did you see him against the Saints In our historic clash?” C interrupted gaily with. Though it be spring or fall. My Carlson is a hero when It comes to playing ball.” D said, I’m for Dailey, He edits the REDJACKET. And if success he’s looking for. I'm certain he'll not lack it. E came dribbling into place For he's an Itchy fan: He said, I guess, folks, you all know That Ethier is my man.” F's for the Class of Forty-One Which ranks with all the best: But if a vote were taken now. Our Class would lead the rest! G said. Me for Goldberg. A very bright young lass: The best description of her is— The tops in every class.” H cried. I'm for Hopie Hynes. It's she that gets the call: For don't you know that all that’s good Comes out in bundles small?” I stands for INITIATIVE We Seniors have to spare: We do our work with joyful zest That makes our Class so rare. 22. To our glorious institution of learning. the name East Senior High School, which will always continue to mystify us because we are in the Western division in sports while West High on East Avenue is in the Eastern division. East is East and West is West? In Witness Whereof we hereto set our hand and seal this nineteenth day of June in the year nineteen hundred and forty-one. Muriel Breault Mabel Menconi J said, I'm for Jepson. Of course you know the name: She is the clever little miss Of modern dancing fame.

W’s for Mr. Winters Who's such a reg'lar guy”, And if his stay at East is long. We'll know the reason why!

Student Council TO sit down and sum up the activities of so progressive and cooperative a group as this year's Student Council, especially in such a limited amount of space, is truly a task. We honestly find it. however, a very pleasant one. The Student Council held its first official meeting in the latter part of October, and immediately got under way by electing its officers for the year. Although all the members of the council were equally qualified to hold the official positions. Cyril E. Lavin. Janet Peterson. Dorothea Conkey. and Benjamin Hamilton were elected to the offices of president, vice-president, secretary, and treasurer, respectively. The fall meeting of the State Federation of Student Councils, whose treasurer is Janet Peterson, was held at Cranston High School. At this meeting East High’s Student Council played a prominent role. Early in January the Student Council, subject to the approval of Mr. Winters, introduced the idea of a school newspaper. On February 26 our hopes materialized, and we saw the successful launching of The East Hi-Light. The winter meeting of the State Federation of Student Councils was held at Lockwood High School, Apponaug. R. I. We shall always consider the day at Lockwood as time well spent. Once again East High’s Student Council distinguished itself as an efficient group by taking a very active part in the discussion groups and by displaying more than an average interest in the affairs of the day. April 7 and April 8 were set aside by the Council as Clean-Up Days”, and the campaign was a success in every sense of the word. The spring meeting of the State Federation was held on May 29 at Little Compton. (Continued on Page 137) [98] BELIEVE it or not, our Italian Cultural Club has a history. Well, consult the bound copy of our Cultural Review in the library and judge for yourselves. To our own collection of now approximately one hundred English, Italian, and French books, we have added a new radio to replace the decrepit phonograph which was discarded. We occasionally enjoy special radio programs and read some of our Club books for oral and written reports. Why not read our Travels of Marco Polo”, our “Life of Christ , our Michelangelo—the Man , our Beethoven—the Creator”, et cetera, et cetera, and see for yourselves what fascinating pages are at your disposal ? Besides reading, we enjoy music. At Christmas time, in accordance with tradition, we donated food baskets to the poor and presented a Christmas pageant which Miss Eloise Cooney of the faculty directed. For the occasion we learned an Italian Christmas song written by the world’s most famous organist. Pietro Yon. of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York. Last March we presented three Classical High School students: Miss D. Phillips, refugee from London, who spoke on War-Torn London: Miss V. Bruckenstein, refugee from Vienna, who described her flight from Austria: and William Corvese, who spoke on Classical High School Taken Over by the Student Body”. Miss F. Patcnaude, pianist. Miss N. Mania, ballet dancer, and Miss J. Begnoche. soprano, were our guest artists. Miss N. Ferguson played pianoforte accompaniments. On May 15th in the East Senior High Auditorium we dedicated a memorable evening to Beethoven, with Reverend Paul C. Perrotta, O.P., Ph.D., who spoke of Beethoven—the Man , and Reverend L. S. Cannon. O.P., Mus. M., who played three of Beethoven's pianoforte sonatas. Our esteemed Principal. Henry J. Winters, introduced our distinguished guests, and the president of our Italian Cultural Club.

The Dramatic Society ABOUT 1905 a society was formed by some of the boys of the Pawtucket High School which was known as the Bachelors' Club . This group developed into what is now known as the East Senior High School Dramatic Society. Where once only boys were allowed to take part in the club’s productions, today girls also play a very important role. The purpose of the Dramatic Society, as expressed in the preamble of its constitution, is to promote interest in dramatics and social good will between students interested in the theatre. Much practical training is offered to the members who take an active part in the plays. Acting, work of stage-crew, prop, and business committees, all tend to aid us in later life. For example, Mr. Zygamond Jablecki. a graduate of Pawtucket High School and an active worker back stage, is a very successful scene painter today. It has been the policy of the dramatic society for the past decade or so to present three productions a year. The first is a three-act play produced in early December. The second production is usually in early March. At this time three one-act plays are presented. One is selected to represent the school at the Rhode Island Drama Festival, and, if it is successful. it is sent to the New England Festival. In reference to these festivals it is interesting to note that Pawtucket was the sponsor of the first Secondary School Drama Festival in New England. Seven schools responded to the invitation sent out by Miss Curtis in 1 929. In 1 930. eleven schools entered plays: and in 1931, twenty-one schools from all the New England states, except Connecticut, sent productions. The response from so many schools offered a problem. To find a solution. the dramatic directors got together and decided that each New England state would hold a festival. Two plays would be chosen to represent each state in the New England Festival. The first New England High School Festival was held May 21, 1932, and Pawtucket again acted as host to plays from four New England states. Since that time all of the New England states have responded and the festivals have become an annual affair. The final production of the year is the Senior Play which is presented in the first week of June. Only seniors are allowed to take part in this play, and thanks to the training received from Miss Flora S. Curtis they turn in a performance that closely resembles that of professionals. Chester P. Tammany, ’41 r noi Lights! UNKNOWN to many play enthusiasts is the vital part that is played by correct lighting. The play itself, to be sure, is all important: but its presentation is greatly enhanced by skillful lighting effects. It was the flickering lights from the city burning in the distance that was greatly responsible for the effectiveness of the thrilling climax to the Drums of Oude . The Intruder was made eerie and gripping by the proper manipulation of baby spots, floods, and borders. Miss Curtis, upon the advice of the Dramatic Society electricians, wisely set aside a large portion of the proceeds of The Cat and the Canary for a much-needed portable switchboard. At the same time many new baby spots and much electrical equipment without which proper lighting would have been impossible were acquired by the society. When you attend a play, why not give a moment's thought to the great amount of labor that has been put into it by the lighting crew ? William Dailey Backstage THE workers backstage are not always confronted with the task of just setting or striking a scene. The play sometimes calls for a piece of scenery which is not available, and because of this we have to make the piece. An example of such a case is The Cat and the Canary , the first play we presented this year. The stage plan called for two secret panels, one in the library and an entirely different type in the bedroom. We had many bright ideas, but the best was offered by Mr. Zygamond Jablecki. an expert on scenery, whose willing cooperation has always aided us in the past. We are also greatly indebted to Mr. Tilden Mason, a former teacher at East High who at the present time is serving in the United States Army at Camp Blanding. Florida. Last year Mr. Mason very willingly gave his time two or three afternoons a week in order to instruct the senior stage-crew in the art of making and shifting scenery. Following his directions we found that by assigning each stage-hand some definite task during the changes there was much less confusion and mix-up than an untrained stage-crew usually encounters. In Drums of Oude”. the one-act play which took part in the Rhode Island Drama Festival at North Providence this year, much work was called for backstage—the ticking telegraph sending out its urgent .plea for aid: the battle” fought by stage and prop people: and. most important of all. those mysterious drums in the distance whose weird sounds held the audience in suspense from the time the curtain opened until it closed. The senior play this year offered the following setting: In upper center stage was a flight of stairs leading up to a small balcony off which opened two doors. This, of course, meant that the doors would have to be a little higher than usual. By working hard, however. and relying on past experience, we accomplished a task which at first glance seemed impossible. Although it's the cast of the play which takes the curtain calls. I often wonder what kind of performance they would present if it were not for those unsung heroes of the theatre, the stage-crew, electricians, and prop people. [ HI ] Chester P. Tammany. 41 Properties! Properties! Properties! OH for the life of a property girl. There is a hustle and a bustle of prop girls backstage about a half hour before the cur tain. Where's McGregor's Sword ?” Have you seen the letter that goes on the desk? I can't find the lamp for that table.” Has anyone got the key to the desk? I can't find it any place.” A Sweet Briar College catalogue masquerades as a telephone directory. Mary's table stands in the center of the room Barbara’s picture hangs over the piano. Ruth's books and bookends sit upon the cabinet. The plant on the fireplace belongs to Jane and the andirons are from Dot's house. STAGE CLEARED! LIGHTS: QUIET. PLEASE. THE CURTAIN RISES. The act is over. The set is changed. A chair is dragged off right, another goes on left. A telegram is placed on the table, a book on the desk. The newspaper is taken off and a vase of flowers brought in. Then finally the show is over and the actors and actresses go out and take their bows amid an avalanche of applause while the prop girl, weary but happy, trudges home, a smudge on her cheek, hair disheveled, her arms full of properties that must be returned at an early date. She gets scant recognition, she wants none. The knowledge of a job well done is her reward. Barbara D. Orr The Cat and the Canary ON December 6 the East High auditorium was packed with an enthusiastic crowd, all waiting for the curtain to rise on The Cat and the Canary , the Dramatic Society’s first presentation of the year. One of the biggest publicity campaigns ever witnessed by the school was staged for this play by Ruth Kenyon and Jane Gilbert. Members of the business staff paraded the corridors weeks in advance with posters on their backs. In many classrooms, unknown to the teachers, signs appeared with the query, Who’s the Cat?” The climax of the campaign came with the arrival of Bob Hope's picture. The radio and screen personality, who starred in the motion picture vehicle, sent a huge photograph on which he wrote, Best wishes and loads of luck to all 'yous' guys and gals of East High. Bob Hope. With this as an incentive the cast gave an unrivalled performance. [ H2 ] The action of the play takes place in a desolate house occupied by a Voodoo housekeeper. Twenty years after the death of the eccentric owner his eight relatives meet in the gloomy surroundings to read the will. The heiress is the beautiful niece of the deceased man, Annabel West. The will, however, stipulates that she is to sleep in the dead man’s bed: and. if after the evening is over, she is in perfect health mentally and physically, she will receive the fortune. Otherwise the money is to go to the next heir, whose name will be found in the second will. As Annabel retires, with a newly discovered ruby necklace around her neck, a cat’s paw reaches through a secret panel and tries to steal the valuable neckpiece. From then on the play is a series of one tense moment after another, with dead bodies falling from secret doors, a lunatic running around as a cat. claws coming from secret panels, the weird spiritualism of the Voodoo housekeeper, and two supposed lovers wooing the distracted heroine. Helen Aspinwall as Annabel gave a sterling performance. The comedy was provided by Joseph E. O'Brien as the somewhat cowardly lover who finally asserts himself and wins the girl. Ralph Nylen as the half-insane Charley won the praise of all by his stirring characterization. Morris Percelay. the elderly lawyer who fell so gracefully out of the trap door. Irene Edwards, the high-strung and flighty spinster. Geraldine Kelly, the nervous young cousin, and Marcia Loebenstein, the fanatic Voodoo housekeeper, handled their parts with a professional air. The presentation left nothing to be wished for in the line of dramatics. It was one of the finest productions the Dramatic Society ever staged, and many felt that it equalled Bob Hope's dramatization. Myrtle Goldberg The Three One-Act Plays (For the past few years the East Senior High Dramatic Society has entered a one-act play competition with other high schools of Rhode Island, the winner to compete in the New England Dramatic Festival.) THE lights dim. the audience hustle to their seats, and the curtain rises. On with the show! The first play on the program is Maurice Maeterlink’s Intruder, a play dealing with the coming of Death. I feel quite certain that I wouldn't be exaggerating the least bit if I said that the Intruder was the most difficult thing ever attempted by the Society— difficult for the actors who had to do almost professional work, and not easy for the audience to understand and appreciate that type of drama. Special honors go to Harold Kinne and Clifford Duxbury. [ 113 ] There's Money Coming to You told of Orlando (Jack Whitmore), a fortune-teller, in reality a jewel thief, who has a fortune in stolen pearls hidden in his tent. A naive young girl (Myrtle Goldberg) very hesitantly enters his tent and coquettishly asks to have her fortune told. Suddenly she assumes the appearance and voice of a hardened criminal, draws from her purse a pistol, and commands the fortune-teller to give her the pearls. The fortune-teller's excitement is increased when two English bobbies” enter the scene and demand to search the tent. By clever maneuvering the two thieves manage to keep the pearls from being discovered. When, after their fruitless search, the two officers leave. Orlando and Jennie decide to sell the jewels, buy a farm, and get married. The Drums of Oude was a much-looked-forward-to production. And it is no wonder! With much of the best talent of the school to produce the play, with red plaid kilts and sepoy drums to give local color, and with burning gun powder to add excitement, how could a play do anything but arouse in terest. It was truly a marvelous performance by truly marvelous actors—Cyril Lavin, Ar-line Aspinwall, and Ralph Nylen. There was no question about the winning play’s being the Drums of Oude.

Morris Percelay. 1 114 | The Senior Play U'T’HE Royal Family”, a sparkling tbree-X act comedy based on the lives of the Barrymores, was the choice for the senior play. This rich saga of the acting profession is a tense, fast-moving drama. Under the experienced tutelage of Miss Flora S. Curtis, the Senior Thespians far surpassed all their previous productions. Myrtle Goldberg gave an outstanding performance as Fanny Cavendish, the peppery old grandmother who “never says die”. Cyril Lavin's portrayal of Tony Cavendish (John Barrymore) seemed like a trouper's. As Julia Cavendish. Arline Aspin-wall played her role like a professional. Betty Boyle as the ingenue was enchantingly naive and lovely. Herbert Dean, the so-called actor, was ably portrayed by Morris Percelay. Joseph E. O'Brien made the humble part of Jo exhalted. Others in the star-studded cast were as follows: Edna Hutchinson, Kitty Dean: John Whitmore. Gilbert Marshall; Rosemary Twomey, Della: Maurice Baslow. McDermott: Chester Tammany and Harold Krueger. Hallboys; John Johnson. Chauffeur; Rita Kelly, Miss Peake: and Raymond Weber. Gunga. When the final curtain rang down, the seniors realized that a vital part of their high school life was over. The gay cameraderie of rehearsals, the thrills and chills of the performances. and the after-glow of satisfaction were at an end. To future dramatic societies we leave a record difficult to surpass and best wishes for loads of luck. Rosemary Twomey [ 115 j Dramatic Society Award THREE cheers for ARLINE ASPINWALL and WILLIAM DAILEY, who have just been chosen to receive the Dramatic Society Award of 1941. Several years ago it was agreed that a hundred dollars should be set aside from the proceeds of the senior play to be divided between the most worthy boy and girl in the senior class. The candidates are judged on scholarship, school spirit, activities, and character. At first, the award winners were selected by a committee of eleven, consisting of four faculty members, the principal, the dean, the junior and senior class presidents, and three members of the Dramatic Society. Now the graduating class elects three boys and three girls as candidates. Any member of the Rhode Island Honor Society is eligible for the award, regardless of Dramatic Society membership. From these top six. one boy and one girl are chosen by the entire faculty. The money is received as a scholarship to be used in further education and remains in the Dramatic Society treasury if the winner does not intend to go on to college or some other institution of higher learning. The Class of 1941 salutes ARLINE ASPINWALL and WILLIAM DAILEY, who have been recognized by their classmates and teachers as outstanding in scholarship, school spirit, participation in school activities, and character, and wishes them the greatest success in life.

Boys' Basketball EAST High has just finished another successful basketball season which has been well packed with thrills and suspense. Some of the greatest suspense was provided by our very close rivals in the Eastern league. West High. We opened the season December 1 3th with a victory over Cumberland. One week later, on the 20th, we met St. Raphael on their own court and came out with a 46-35 victory. On December 27th we suffered our first defeat at the hands of Northampton. The next day we played Holyoke. Mass., and playing with grim determination we won the game with a score of 37-35. Victory again was the cry when we defeated Rogers, January 2nd. Then in rapid succession our inspired team downed Central. Mt. Pleasant, and East Providence. But then came the game with West. After four exciting quarters, in which every play imaginable was used, we were defeated by a 32-30 score. I 120 | Our dauntless 'Jackets again played the role of conqueror in the games with La Salle and Cranston, and the return battles with Rogers, Central, Mt. Pleasant, and East Providence added four more victories to our list. Then on February 11 th came our last chance for revenge against West. At the end of four long and hard-fought quarters the score was 44-44. But in the overtime period East sank two baskets to West's one to make the score 48-46 in our favor. On the 14th we were defeated. 44-42 by La Salle on their floor. On February 18 we ended our season by defeating Cranston 59-50. Because of our superiority over the other teams, we became league champions. Also. Henri Ethier, our captain, had the honor of being the highest high school basketball scorer in the state. E.H.S.

The creation of a new school. West Senior High, has placed a new aspect on interscholastic competition in this city. This has inaugurated the keenest type of competition yet seen here. When teams from both schools met, there was no place for a weak heart among the spectators. All who wished to view an exciting, spine-tingling game had only to attend a Pawtucket East-West tilt. From the moment the game began, players and spectators strained themselves to the utmost against former comrades—the player, to win the game; the spectator. to outcheer the opponents. Thus each team had the full and active support of their respective schools. Never had Pawtucket seen such enthusiasm. The outcome was always in doubt. The suspense when the end of the game was approaching was almost unbearable. In the first game, a dazzling, heart-breaking contest on the court of the new West High School. East was edged out by a slim one-basket margin. Nevertheless the delegation from East fraternized with the enemy, threatening them with dire things in the next clash. These threats were fully carried out when East played on its own court. East succeeded in defeating West in a hectic overtime period. Both teams ending the season with their respective divisional championships, they were slated to meet again to contend for the Class A title. Supporters of both teams were early on hand at the Rhode Island Auditorium in which the contests were to take place. Many were the banners, signs, and posters praising the prowess of one team and decrying the ability of the other. One spirited group marched from the East Senior High School through the city to the Auditorium, carrying ingenious posters vividly describing how East was to triumph and how West was to suffer an ignominious defeat. When East did triumph, a victory parade was formed which marched through the shopping district of Pawtucket chanting, cheering and singing lustily. After a tour of the city there were appropriate ceremonies held on Exchange Street bridge in which taps was played and heads were solemnly bowed in honor of West. Then on the beautiful steps of the East Senior High School the old. time-honored school songs were sung and the victory parade was over. Then Dame Fortune turned her head, and East lost the Class A title. Throughout all competition with West, however, a fine spirit of sportsmanship was exhibited on the part of both teams and their supporters. We sincerely hope that this fine and clean spirit will continue in the future. William Dailey [ 121 1 FOOTBALL TEAM Fir t Row. left to right: Ed Ashby. Larry Hay man. Jerry Beau doin. Don Lyons.

Football THE 1940 football season brought out a powerful squad. The first string was composed chiefly of seniors, with hard-fighting juniors and sophomores backing them up. The first game was played under floodlights against the heavier Saugus, Massachusetts, team. Pard Pearce had high hopes and the boys rolled up seven points in no time, but weight was the victor and overcame our boys by a score of 20-7. The first league game was at home against Rogers, and the boys from Pawtucket got down to cleats and pigskin and rolled up a score of 26-0 for their first victory. On the following Friday East High visited LaSalle field. We outplayed our opponents throughout the whole game, but the latter capitalized on a few poor plays on our part and came out in front, 18-6. The following week the boys again lost, this time to the undefeated Cranston team. 38-0. Later, on our home field, they came back with revenge and defeated Central High, the team that held Cranston to its lowest score, 7-0. Next came the game under floodlights with East Providence at their new field (we hope to have our new field soon) and both teams were determined to win. Chet Laston. the powerhouse of the team, was accidentally kicked in the knee early in the contest and had to stay out the remainder of the game. With sophomore Ted Znuj substituting, Charlie Parks turning in some beautiful kicks, and Beaudoin going over twice on passes, the Pawtucket boys kept East Providence away from the thirty-yard line and came home on top, 12-0. In the Hope game, at their field, our loss. 6-13, was due chiefly to the fact that Carlson and Laston were unable to represent the school. In the next game we outplayed Mt. Pleasant. We made eleven first downs to their six, but we still lost by one point, 6-7. After a week and a half of drilling, the Red-jackets were ready for their Turkey Day foe— The Saints. The field had to be cleared of six inches of snow. At the beginning of the game the field was icy: but as the playing progressed. the ground became muddy and sloppy. In this game one of the greatest plays the Blackstone Valley ever saw was completed. After fighting their way to the ten-yard line, the teams lined up and the ball was snapped to Chet Laston. He gave it to Jimmy Martin, who went toward the right end under interference. Then it happened. Unknown to the St. Raphael boys. Beaudoin took the ball from Martin and all alone crossed the goal line by way of right end. With similar plays cooked up” by Pard Pearce, the East High school boys ended the season with a 19-0 victory. We seniors now march on, putting the ball into the hands of the juniors and sophomores, hoping that they will put East High where it belongs—on top! Frank Dcobiazgiewicz.

Those on the team were: Seniors, Chet Laston (Capt.), Ralph Lancaster, Don Daniels. Harold Whalley. John Burke, and Malcolm Thornley: juniors, Ralph Gosseler. Fred Crystie. Alvin Kluttig, Leon Oliver, William Delpapa. and Lloyd Laughlin and John Hulme. After much practice we met our first opponent. Yale Frosh. on January 11. and were beaten by our more experienced opponent by a score of 19-47. Although we lost the meet, it served its purpose in showing us our weak spots. With this knowledge we went to Brockton. January 15, and beat Brockton, 41-25. The next day we took on the Charlestown Boys’ Club and again won with a 39-27 score. Then came our meet with Brown Frosh in our pool, but this time we tasted defeat. February 12 we met West and dealt out the worst defeat in the season with a 51-15 victory. Then came Brockton and Charlestown, both of which were defeated by our victory-bent team. On February 20 we played our last game of the season with West and won by a 41-25 margin. This gave us the marvelous record of winning every league meet, and becoming the swimming champions of New England. The outstanding swimmer of the year was Ralph Gossler, who has yet to be defeated in schoolboy competition. He leads the individual scoring with 88 points. Johnny Burke was a close second with a score of 83 points. SCHEDULE Dale Opponent Score Jan. 1 1 Yale Frosh Away E.H.S. 19 Opp. 47 15 Brockton Away 41 25 16 Charleston B. C.. .
