THE, I Published by the SENIOR CLASS EAST HIGH SCHOOL PAWTUCKET RHODE ISLAND = ★ =r CLASS 1942 Wake in our breast the living fires. The holy faith that warmed our sires; Thy hand hath made our nation free; To die for her is serving Thee. Oliver Wendell Holmes ■M ----- fSS VJ[7 E. the Class of 1942, ’ ’ are stepping into a world facing stormy days ahead. Our country is at war. This is a struggle of two conflicting ideals—the supremacy of the state against the supremacy of the individual. Being opposed by treacherous foes, America must concentrate its efforts in assembling the greatest armada known to history. This power is not to be used for conquest, but rather for the protection of our sacred heritages—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Fellow classmates, our part is already cut out in this vast program. Many of us will serve soon in the armed forces, many will work in defense industries, while several will secure a better education to be utilized later. Whatever our part may be in this defense program, our watchword is SERVICE. O oAejuwAcl To this ideal our REDJACKET is humbly dedicated. Milton A. Phillips, Editor-in-Chief TO Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter HEAD OF THE ART DEPARTMENT AND GOOD FRIEND AND ADVISER OF MANY CLASSBOOK BOARDS. WHOSE APPRECIATION OF BEAUTY HAS DONE MUCH TO QUICKEN A LOVE FOR IT IN OUR SCHOOL. THE CLASS OF 1942 GRATEFULLY DEDICATES THIS EDITION OF THE REDJACKET. MILTON A. PHILLIPS Editor-in-Chief The Classbook Board BERNARD E. LANGLOIS Art Editor IN composing the 1942 REDJACKET. we of the Classbook Board had the doubly difficult task of keeping within our budget and at the same time maintaining the high standards set by previous graduating classes. In the face of rising costs and increasing shortages we have nevertheless endeavored to make this book an accurate record of our three years of senior high, worthy to be forever kept by the grads of '42. Many were the clear and illuminating talks given us by our ever-persevering faculty adviser before we could comprehend the problems with which we must cope. To Miss Nellie V. Donovan, for her long hours of painstaking checking and re-checking, for her wise guidance which alone enabled us to prepare the REDJACKET for press six weeks ahead of previous schedules, we can never adequately express our gratitude. We wish to thank our art adviser. Mrs. Lottie B. Carpenter, to whom we have dedicated the REDJACKET. Under her supervision Art Editor Bernard Langlois and his assistants planned the division pages and artistic arrangements, each carrying out the theme of the book—''Service.'' To our business manager. Alexander Rzepiela, for the long hours spent in quest of necessary advertisements which made possible the moderate cost of the book, we arc grateful. Many were the afternoons when Al” filled his ever-available car with mem- bers of the board to journey to Providence to track down those ads. Under the competent leadership of Editor-in-chief. Milton Phillips, we of the board have done our best to give members of our class a book that will ever be one of their most treasured possessions. Wherever the paths of destiny may lead them, over land or sea. in civil life or in the service, with our classmates go the best wishes of the Board and the hope that the REDJACKET may ever arouse the happiest memories of the Class of '42. Janice F. Wood. Associate Editor DEVONA R. GREEN Asst. Business Mummer I JANICE F. WOOD Associate Editor ALEXANDER J. RZEPIELA Business Manager J PRINCIPAL HENRY J. WINTERS OlaM oi 1942: THROUGH future years, I am sure that I shall always retain pleasant memories of you. I know I shall happily recall your cheerfulness and friendliness and your willingness to play the game according to the rules. Very seldom, indeed, have members of the class needed reproof or admonition. Like good citizens, you have recognized the necessity for rules and regulations and have been content to yield them intelligent obedience. At various times, you have come to me with suggestions and requests. Whether you came as individuals or as committees you have always stated your case frankly and respectfully. Whenever it has been possible for me to approve your requests and suggestions. I have done so. On the few occasions when I have had to disapprove them. I have been impressed by your good natured acceptance of the refusal. I shall remember, too. this class as one that could be trusted. You had pride in your school and a sense of responsibility. When, from time to time, new rules were established, you set an example in obedience for the pupils of other classes to follow. This is to me a matter of significance, because I like to be associated with a school in which I am best satisfied with the work and conduct of the seniors. It is a wholesome condition. Lastly, I shall think with admiration of your courage. Unexpectedly, in your senior year, at a time when you might well feel entitled to take life lightheartedly, you found yourselves under the abnormal shadows thrown by a world at war. I have watched you face your strange new conditions and prospects with intelligent and serious awareness. but without a sign of panic or senseless confusion. When, on that December day, you sat so breathlessly quiet in the school auditorium and heard our President ask for a Declaration of War, we. who were a little older than you. were impressed by the earnestness of your demeanor and your appreciation of the gravity of the situation existing in the world about you. Later on. when you were called upon to take part in air raid drills, all of us were thrilled by your intense seriousness. Again, when presently you were told that graduation would come three weeks early because colleges had accelerated their programs and would start some classes in June, instead of in September, those of you who were affected, did an about-face with coolness and precision, and proceeded to plan your lives anew. Repeatedly, throughout the year, with youth's resiliency, you have faced the facts of a strange new world and have quietly made the required adjustments. You are entering the world's arena at a moment pregnant with possibilities of horrors and disasters such as the mind of civilized man finds hard to accept as believable. It is. however, a world that also offers you unusual opportunities for courage, sacrifice, and service. That, at least, is your compensation. May you face your responsibilities with all of your present courage and clearheadedness. May you love your country with a singlehearted devotion that will make suffering and sacrifice for its sake the sweetest thing in life. May you live to win through to see that beloved country and the world, itself, bathed again in the sunlight of peace and happiness. May you cling fast to your faiths and your ideals. May you serve your country and your God. May the world, because of your being in it. become a better world for all mankind. With good wishes that come from very deep in my heart. I am. Ever sincerely yours. Hf.nry J. Winters. Principal JAMES I TROMBLEY Faculty First row, left to right: Ruth Curran. Marion Hood. Gladys Read, Mary Kelly, Josephine Storin, Eunice Keough.

LORD Colonel Royal B. Lord ONE of the most important men in this country's war effort is a Pawtucket High graduate. Colonel Royal B. Lord. He was born in Worcester, Massachusetts, on September 19, 1900: but as he moved to Pawtucket at the age of three months, he claims Pawtucket as his home town. He attended Pawtucket High School, where he was active for the school paper, Ihe Gleaner. and held the post of athletic editor. He graduated in 1917 and then attended Brown University for two years, where he served in the R. O. T. C. and thus entered West Point in 1919. Here he had a brilliant scholastic record and graduated second in his class in 1923. Here too. in connection with his interest in engineering, he constructed what was then the largest and most modern ice hockey rink in the world. From West Point he went to Fort Munroe Engineering School, where he did excellent work under Admiral Simms. He then went on active duty in the Philippines for three years. In 1926 he returned to the States and was awarded his Master’s Degree by the University of California. Soon afterward he did engineering work on the Mississippi Flood Control system and was given charge of the Passamaquoddy Tidal Project, where he developed a new low-cost home for the $12,000,000 Greenbelt Project. Roy was well known for this five-room castle for $900 . H:, was Chief Engineer for the Farm Security Administration while he developed his pre-fabricated house. His rise in Army rank has been exceptionally rapid. He became First Lieutenant in 1928. Captain in 1935. Major in 1940 (which post he held for only nine months), and finally a Colonel in 1941. For four years he was a professor at West Point. During the past few years he has served as Commander of the Third Engineer Regiment during an eighteen month visit to China and Japan, and has held many vital government positions. Roy also has won his spurs as an inventor. He developed a portable steel pillbox which has rendered the old concrete box obsolete. It is six feet square and holds three men. It is armored to withstand a 75 millimeter shell and. due to the low. protected firing position, can shoot into the underside of a tank and stop it in its tracks. This pillbox takes ten men one and one-half hours to assemble, while the old concrete one takes twenty-eight days to set up. The cost of the Lord pillbox is only one-tenth the cost of the old style model. Roy also has invented a tank trolley which has put the pontoon bridge out of business. This trolley consists of two forty-foot towers between which is strung a heavy wire cable. A tank or truck is driven on to four rope nets, one for each wheel, and is picked up and carried across the obstruction. The cableway is powered by the vehicles it carries and can handle a thirteen ton load on a single installation or a twenty-five ton load on a double hookup. It may be erected in three hours and can carry one vehicle every four minutes. Its cost is one one-hundredth of the cost of a medium pontoon bridge, and it requires only two trucks for transportation as compared with eighty-five trucks needed for the bridge. This trolley also may be very completely and easily camouflaged. At present. Roy is Chief of Operations for Economic Warfare for the United States of America, and is entrusted with the location and allocation of vital raw materials. He is closely affiliated with Henry Agard Wallace and Leon Henderson, and holds a post in the Army Public Relations department under Major General Robert C. Richardson. Jr. The graduating class of 1942 is faced with the probability of Army service. It is not an unpleasant probability. In the Army, as in no other place, the young man has a chance to see himself in his true colors: to discover his true capabilities. Let us all see Roy Lord as an ideal Army man. Let him be an inspiration to each one of us as we dedicate our lives to the service of our country. Harold C. Kinne Wc are deeply indebted to the American Magazine for permission to use the picture of Colonel Lord and his pillbox. Wc regret to state that we were unable to secure a picture of Mr. Beaulac. Willard L. Beaulac AMONG the most important men in our government today are the representatives of our government in those neutral nations which border the Axis countries. These men form the only diplomatic link with the enemy. We arc proud of the fact that one of the most prominent of these men is a Pawtucket High graduate. He is the United States Consul-General and Counsellor of Embassy in Spain, Willard L. Beaulac. Mr. Beaulac was born in Pawtucket on July 25, 1899. In high school he was active on the school paper, in dramatics, and represented his class on the school debating team. He is well remembered by one of his teachers. Miss Sarah M. Osborn, as a brilliant scholar and a very agreeable person”. Graduating in 1916, he attended Brown University for two years. He then enlisted in the Medical Corps of the United States Navy and for sixteen months served with the A. E. F. On his return to civilian life he entered Georgetown School of Foreign Service during its first year of existence. It is interesting to note that because he was a member of the first graduating class and because his name is so high in alphabetical listing he was given the first diploma ever awarded from that school. They certainly have every right to be proud of him Willard served in the Bureau of Internal Revenue for a short while but soon entered the Diplomatic Service with the post of vice-consul, class three. His first post was the Tampico consulate in December 1921. Next he served in Puerto Castilla and was soon promoted to the post of foreign service officer. Assigned to Arica, Chile, as Secretary of the American Legation, he became affiliated with the Tacna-Arica Arbitration in 1926. This famous Board met to settle the boundary between Peru and Chile, and as he was Assistant Secretary General, he had much to do with the final and successful settlement of the dispute. From October 1927 to April 1933 he served as Third Secretary of the Legation in Port-au-Prince and as Second Secretary and Acting Charge d’Affaires at Managua and San Salvador. In 1933 he was called to Washington. D. C.. where he was made Assistant Chief of the Division of Latin American Affairs. He served a short term at Guatemala but was recalled to Washington as Assistant Chief of the Division of American Republics. In June. 1937, he was appointed First Secretary of the Cuban Embassy, where he served under Ambassadors J. Butler Wright and George S. Messersmith. He was recently sent from Cuba to Spain as Consul-General and Counsellor of Embassy, and is located there at the present time. In the pursuit of his diplomatic career Mr. Beaulac has undergone many interesting and varied experiences. He lived through a severe earthquake in Nicaragua. He is a member of the American Club, the Havana Country Club, and the Havana Yacht Club. It is interesting to note that the two men the Class of 1942 has chosen to honor in their Redjacket were both faced with the same difficulties this class is faced with today. War was declared during their stay in high school and they both must have had the desire to enlist, but they both decided that the most helpful thing to do was to further their education. They both attended college for two years and. as a result, were more valuable in their chosen branch of the Armed Services. Mr. Beaulac's conspicuous success in the Diplomatic Corps is a source of gratification to his friends and should prove an inducement to ambitious students to try to follow his example. In this day of Diplomacy, no boy could go wrong in choosing this work for his career. Harold C.

DUXBURY President MIDST the confusion of armament, at a time of international calamity, we, the Class of 42. are to take leave of the East Senior High School. We depart with reluctance: yet we have confidence in what the future holds, for high school has been a means of finding ourselves. Though we are leaving during a period of chaos, when our country is engaged in the bitter strife, the spirit of this class remains undaunted. Our stay at East has been a short but glorious one. forever to be remembered and cherished by all. Our accomplishments in every field have been numerous, adding prestige and honor to our school and class. It is fitting that we keep in mind the faculty when we say that our friendships have been many and devoted. Their earnest guidance and seemingly untiring patience have on many occasions decided between our success or failure. We are indeed indebted to them, and they merit a deserved tribute. On behalf of the class officers I wish to extend to you. fellow classmates, our sincere appreciation and thanks for the distinctive honor you have bestowed on us. We have striven to maintain your high standards. It is our hope that we have been successful. Our next task, undoubtedly the most difficult, is that of choosing our vocation. I am sure of our success, for the class of '42 util I be heard from. Clifford S. Duxbury. Jr. Agnes M. Finan Secretary Milton a. Phillips T reasurer Sybil E.

('Twas nineteen thirty-nine). Some boys and girls that we all know Were waiting here in line. II This group of sophomores stood here. That sixth day of September. And they were told they need not fear, (If you can still remember). III But those poor sophs just weren’t prepared That sunny afternoon: And as they stood around and stared. They wished that it were June. IV And thus they passed one hectic week Like silent pictures painted: But (so we're told) they weren't so meek When they became acquainted. V Assembly day for Christmas came— A play by sophs presented: From that time on each silly name For sophs, was much resented. VI On January twenty-fourth. (Wednesday was the day), The wind blew strongly from the north While sophs had much to say. VII For on that fatal Wednesday noon. Mid-year examinations Hovered, like a large balloon. O'er those who took vacations. VIII The months sped by. the Glee Club shone Societies? And how! The sophomores could hold their own: They'd proved all this by now. IX Dramatic fame again in May! June 20th loomed near! The sophs looked forward to that day For which they'd worked all year. X And then began the junior term, September 8th in '40: The junior class was strong and firm. Though rather high and haughty. XI They worked on 'til October prime; Then Teachers’ Institute Afforded a vacation time For football fans to root. XII Dramatic presentation came. Which was quite weird and scary, A junior had each leading name— The Cat and The Canary”. XIII Soon following the mid-year tests Came East High's Junior Prom. Attended by most jolly guests With graciousness and charm. XIV The music festival in March Had many juniors present: Their ringing voices filled the air With strains dulcet and pleasant. XV Dramatic festival at last Gave those who did their best Occasion to show off again The talents they possessed. XVI The junior year fled quickly by With school and work and play. Perhaps it was relief, that sigh Breathed at the end of May! XVII And suddenly September came: But they were seniors now. At East High they'd attained much poise (And this you must allow). XVIII The Hi-Light printed that first week Appeared in fine edition! Not many schools would try to seek To give it competition. XIX October brought much club formation: Camera! Glee! Debating! . For seniors, with their education. Gave good times highest rating. XX You Can't Take It With You in December A comedy, wasn't it? Yes! With seniors in most leads (remember?) It was a great success. XXI The Glee Club sang for Xmas cheer: The language club had parties: Next week all said, Goodbye, old year. You brought forth many smarties.” XXII Radio quizzes, the seniors had many Which proved a great sensation: They liked these quizzes better than any Mid year examination. XXIII Three one-act phys appeared quite soon The clubs were going strong: From then 'twas just one step til June, No. May, came right along! XXIV The Cap and Gown!.........Fhe Class Book Board! Committees all were chosen! 'Twas mild that winter, (thank the Lord) But skating ponds were frozen. XXV Pictures taken! sports and dances! May, when rewards were given The Seniors need take no more chances For this month they had striven. XXVI The senior play was first of all And then came graduation Diplomas and the senior Ball. And finally—vacation. P. Marcia Loebenstein Last Will and Testament WE, the graduating class of 1942. being of reasonably sound mind and body, do hereby give and bequeath to our teachers, school and our posterity: 1. A bouquet of orchids to our teachers who stood (by) us for the past three years, in deep appreciation for all that they have done for us. 2. Thanks to Mr. Maryott and Mr. Winters for their guidance and for tolerating our presence for the past three years. 3. A much-needed curtain for the dramatic society: ’twould seem the moths had gotten the better of the present one. 4. A book of humorous anecdotes and witty sayings for Mr. Lee to tell his math classes when two times the cosine of alpha begins to pall on the class. 5. A few vagrant electrons for the chemistry class to study: anyone having easy access to the same please send to the chemistry lab. in care of Mr. Wolfe (illustrious personage for whom the class of '40 named Wolfid-ium, the ninety-third element). 6. To future English classes, a copy of Lamb's Tales from Shakespeare: it should come in handy when studying Macbeth. I only wish there were a Lamb's Tales from Milton— 7. To our basketball teams of future years, a set of movable trap doors to be placed under the basket they are defending—especially in games with West. 8. To our basketball team that leaves us. thanks because they beat West once—without benefit of the aforementioned trap doors. 9. To one John S. Masterson. now working for his Uncle, two or three stripes to wear on his shoulders if. by chance, he is not already a captain. 10. Also to Col. Masterson, a complete history of the United States so that he may not become stale, for all his history classes are anxiously awaiting the day when he returns. 11. To an acquaintance made recently while traveling on the continent. Berlin to be exact, a one thousand pound demolition bomb to be delivered C. O. D. by the R. A. F. 1 2. Messrs. Hirohito and one B. Mussolini a large size bottle of aspirin. May they have good cause to use it. 1 3. We ll omit this one 'cause it's unlucky. 14. To Miss Nellie V. Donovan, the capable head of our English department, a large, red, correcting pencil that those who come after us may have something to remember the class of '42 by. 15. To ''genial Walter 1. (call me Pard) Pearce”, A football team that will start off the season by defeating Hope. Mt. Pleasant, and Cranston by at least four touchdowns. 16. To Max Read, a set of outboard motors for the swimming team. I think they will be put to good use after Ralph Gossler graduates. 17. To coach Nooney, five rubber plants so that our team may have basketball shoes in spite of priorities. 18. To the juniors, our text books, most of which are brand new: some have been slightly used. 19. To the sophomores, the satisfaction of not being sophomores any longer and the feeling of superiority you experience when you look with disdain upon the incoming sophs. 20. To the car of the driving class, a grease job, change of oil. new clutch face, new brake bands, and a set of tires smuggled in from Seekonk. 21. Last, but foremost, the wish of good luck to Mr. Winters, the faculty and those who follow in our footsteps. East High, we bid you adieu. We'll miss the mad rush to the first lunch period. We'll miss you with your source themes and midyear exams. We'll miss you with your book reports and homework. It's all yours. Class of '43. Farewell. East High! Robert B. Watson East's New Courses SOMETHING new has been added, and we are not referring to a popular cigarette. We are referring to the four new courses in the East High curriculum—aviation mechanics. Latin-American history, radio and journalism. Considering our country’s present wartime needs, the aviation mechanics course is extremely opportune. Here as in similar classes all over the nation students are receiving practical instruction in aircraft construction and maintenance. Supervised model building teaches them the general theories of construction. Skilled instructors, like our Mr. Ralph Vale, familiarize them with the intricacies of actual construction on real planes. Soon the student has a thorough, workable knowledge of primary aircraft maintenance and a knowledge of the theories of the air-craft-building industry. The aircraft factories will find him useful material. In short, he represents a partial answer to aviation’s pressing need of men. Latin-American history, under Mr. John Brady, is another vital contribution to our country. Since 1821. when President Monroe issued the historic Monroe Doctrine, the southern half of our hemisphere has been in the public eye. In recent years Latin America has become increasingly important in the United States’ foreign policy. The Panama Canal could not be defended without friendly. co-operative South American republics. Our statesmen are building toward a complete unity between the two continents. If this unity is to become a practical fact, Ameri- can citizens must understand their continental neighbors. Mr. Brady's class is trying to do just that. Students who are learning now to understand and appreciate the background of the Latin-American people will become the best-informed citizens of tomorrow. Radio, like aviation, is a new and growing field. In radio the man behind the microphone is the one who makes a program a success. Our new radio course has already become one of East’s highlights. The classes of Miss Henriette C. Brazeau. after one short year, already are well on their way to becoming radio announcers and actors. We are fortunate to have in this city radio station WFCI, for the entertaining programs the Radio students have put on over this station have given them valuable practical experience before a mike”. Radio offers infinite opportunities to these students for a lucrative life work. Also new this year is the journalism class, which forms the nucleus of the Hi-Light staff. Journalism is almost a necessity at any time, but it is indispensable in war time. Journalists must keep the man in the street up with the progress of the war. They must keep him informed on draft regulations. They must try to bolster national morale. They must also try to raise the level of the national intellect by education of the average man. These are only a few of the reasons why journalism classes are so badly needed in high schools, and why Miss Bryant's new class is such a valuable addition to East’s curriculum. Donald W. Fisher Romance Languages Cultural Club THIS year the Italian Cultural Club has changed its name to Romance Languages Cultural Club. It is not a new club, but a continuation of our former Italian Cultural Club. It is so-called because Miss Leoni’s pupils who are studying French. Italian, and Spanish are now eligible for membership. There are no dues of any kind, and the activities are given in one of the three languages or in English. If given in English, these programs are based on French. Italian, and Spanish culture. Songs in the Romance Languages, readings, instrumental music, and radio programs. all relative to the culture of France. Italy, and Spain, have been enjoyed at the club meetings. Mr. Arthur Tortolano of the New England Opera Co. addressed the Club on grand opera at one of these meetings. Mr. Tortolano is a talented pianist, and after his lecture he entertained the club with a few operatic selections. He has given over fifty-three lectures on the subject of grand opera in the senior high schools of Rhode Island. He told the club the fascinating story of Verdi’s opera. Rigo-letto. Another event of the year was the sending of about one hundred gifts and one hundred magazines to the armed forces. These gifts were collected by the club members and brightly wrapped in the patriotic colors of red. white, and blue. The gifts were distributed to the soldiers on St. Patrick's Day through the United Service Organization in Providence. Amelia C. Sartini ROMANCE LAN.

With the ideal of service to our school before us, we have tried to serve the student body by bringing new plans and reforms into school life. The Student Council held its first meeting soon after the class elections. At that time the officers for the year were elected with Milton Phillips, president; James Whittle, vice-president: Hope Williamson, secretary: and Russell Blease. treasurer. The first important move which the Council made after organizing was to make plans for student supervision of the cafeteria. With the cooperation of the student body the plan proved to be successful. Soon afterwards our new radio studio was opened, and the Student Council financed four broadcasts from the studio in Room A-1. During the week before the Christmas vacation we were truly imbued with the Christmas spirit. With the pennies from the students a group of pupils working with the Art Department erected a Christmas tree in the school lobby which thrilled everyone with its beauty. Then came the Council's biggest opportunity to serve. Our country needed money to smash the Axis. Wishing to do our part in the defense program. we started the sale of Defense Bonds and Stamps under the guidance of Mr. Thomas J. Moriarty. The response was tremendous. Soon after the mid-year examinations this body secured a twenty-minute study period for the students during the long period. The Student Council declared Clean-Up Day late in the year and found most of the lockers and desks in perfect condition. From the money raised by selling ice cream at the basketball games the Student Council donated $100 to the Myra B. Booth Library Fund. Our ambitions could not have been realized if it had not been for the sage counsel of our adviser. Miss Nellie V. Donovan, and our principal. Mr. Henry J. Winters. Our big goal throughout the year has been to represent the student body, and we hope that our purpose has been attained. Nevertheless we have thoroughly enjoyed serving you. Milton A. Phillips.

Le Cercle Francais DANS ces jours presses, quand tout le monde essaye d’aider sa patrie, on pour-rait nous demander a quoi sert le CERCLE FRANCAIS! Eh bien. en chantant, cn faisant des jeux. en presentant des pieces, tout en fran-qais. nous apprenons a comprendre un autre peuple. les Franqais! Nous apprenons d une maniere agreable une signifiance plus profonde de la fraternite dont on manque dans le monde d’aujourd’hui. Puis nous rendons encore un service tres important! Le pauvre etudiant, luttant contre les temps des verbes et les regies du subjonctif voit pour la premiere fois. au cercle, tout couleur de rose. Voici un cote du francais. tres gai. tres attrayant. qu’il n'a jamais vu aupara-vant. Tout de suite il decide de se faire maitre de la grammaire fran ;aise pour pouvoir en jouir. Quel service, s’il reussit, n’est-ce pas? Nos officiers, Devona Green, presidente: Nancy Arnold, vice-presidente: Ida Jacques, secretaire; Dorothy Tildslcy, tresoriere: et les comites de programme sous la direction inestimable de Mile. MacKenzie ont bien travaille pour nous donner des seances mcmorables. II y en a eu une surtout. dont tous se souvien-dront. En harmonie avec notre but de servir a la fraternite, nous avons invite le CERCLE FRANQAIS du Lycee Ouest a assister a une de nos reunions. Figurez-vous la situation! Avoir commc hotes. nos rivaux acharnes! Y aurait-il une bataille, ou y aurait-il une seance amicable? Tout le monde attendait avec inquietude le jour fatal. Et quel jour! II pleuvait. il ncigeait. il faisait du vent. Cepen-dant. malgre tout, nos invites ont eu l’ama-bilitc de nous faire visite. Apres un programme de musique notre chef de comite a conduit une colle entre deux equipes choisies des deux Cercles. C’ctait une grande lutte mais pleinc de plaisanteries. Nout etions tres fiers qu’un membre de notre Cercle ait remporte le premier prix. Ensuite on nous a servi du punch et de petits gateaux. Tout le monde s est bien amuse, et nous esperons que cet esprit de bontc entre les deux Cercles durera. Enfin nous avons eu encore un desir. C'est le devoir si bien exprime dans “Le Petit Journal”. que la plupart de nos membres se font un plaisir de lire. On y ecrit: “C’est pre- cisement le devoir d une grande democratic com me la notre d ’assurer la resurrection et la survivancc de la pensee. de la litterature. de la science, de Part, et memc de la langue d’une autre grande democratic momentanement dans une impasse.” C’etait la notre plus grand service cette annee. Dans cette intention, nous avons fait de notre mieux. A vous de suivre notre panache blanc. Devona R. Green. Presidente GERMAN CLUB First row. left to right: Katherine Wjd- dington.

Die Mit-glieder, aber. welche erst dieses Jahr Deutsch lernen. haben es schwer alles zu verstehen. deshalb geben wir die Spielregeln usw. auf englisch. Im November haben die vier Beamten ein kleines Lustspiel aufgefuhrt. Ein hartnack-iger Vater (Percy Allsup) und cine Mutter (Theresa Harootunian). die auch hartnackig war. wollten ihre Tochter Adelheid (1 wyler Felch) unter die Haube kommen sehen. Der Vater hatte einen Mann gewahlt aber die Mutter hatte einen anderen lieber. Die Kusine Klotilde (Twyler Felch) loste die schwere Frage, indem sie ihre Tante und deren Mann iiberredete einen dritten. den Adelheid inner-lich liebte. als Schwiegersohn anzunehmen. Wir luden Mitglieder der deutschen Klasse in der “West Senior High School ein unserer Weihnachtsfeier beizuwohnen. Jeder von uns brachte ein Geschenk zu zehn Pfennig, welches der Weihnachtsmann spater beschert hat. Alice Finan las eine unterhaltende Beschreibung iiber die alten deutschen Weihnachtssitten. Die Mitglieder der ersten Klasse fiihrte ein kom-isches Schauspiel vor. Es war lustig, denn die Mutter bekam nur Halsbandc und der Vater bekam nur Bucher.

The Press Club THE East High Press Club met for the first time in September, 1941, under the direction of our able faculty adviser. Miss Dorothy E. Bryant. Membership, which was open to members of the Hi-Light staff and the Journalism class, grew to some sixty members. Elections were held whereby the following slate of officers was chosen: Milton Phillips, president; Percy Allsup. vice-president: Janice F. Wood, secretary: and Jean Whitehead, treasurer. A constitution was promptly drawn up by a committee of three: Mary-Lou Brownell. chairman, Janice Phinney, and Betty Wheaton. Interested members toured the Providence Journal at press time on four successive Thursdays and learned much about the actual making of a newspaper. A “hot-dog roast at Sunset Point in Lincoln Woods Reservation was the high spot in the Fall program in spite of amateur cooks and overdone frankforts. As a means of filling the empty treasury, members of the club sold candy at the last four home football games. All credit should go to the candy vendors who willingly sacrificed half the games for the noble cause. On December 1 Mr. Frank Healy. city editor of the Pawtucket Times, spoke to the club on the qualifications of a newspaper reporter and the present openings in his chosen field. On December 2 a sizeable representation attended the Rhode Island Scholastic Press Conference at Hope High School. Providence, and brought back new ideas from other school papers. In January the Press Club lost its president, Milton Phillips, who had been chosen to head the Classbook Board. We were sorry to have “Milt” resign, but we all realized he had a capable successor in Percy Allsup. James Bannon was elected the new vice-president. The Club decided to award pins to its members and to members of the Hi-Light staff on the basis of their contributions to the East Hi-Light. The goal was fixed at one hundred points with, for example, five points for a short article or ten points per issue for a column. The final achievement of the Press Club was an auction held in the auditorium of all the unclaimed “lost-and-found” articles in the office. Students might attend and bid for “just the thing they had always wanted”. The successful premier year of the East High Press Club closed with the elections of officers for the coming year and a promise of continued success in the club undertakings. Janice F.

Marcia Loebenstein and James Bannon. associate editors. Sally Stanton, assistant editor, and Ralph Nylen. business manager, took upon their shoulders the tremendous task of publishing a six-page newspaper. This newspaper, published every three weeks, covered all school activities. It was not an easy task, but we all know what a fine job they did. Early in the year the editor decided to have a “fluid staff’', allowing all members of the school to contribute. Authors of published articles became members of the staff. This democratic plan was carried out in business, editorial and news departments. Starting the year with a welcome issue to acquaint newcomers with the school, the staff gradually broadened its scope in the succeeding issues. One of the main features of the paper was the sports page edited by James Bannon. Spot news of all interscholastic and interclass sports coupled with the snappy column “Sideline Backtalk” made our sports section something of which to be proud. The April Fool issue was the cause of a near riot when students read such ’spoof” headlines as “FINAL EXAMS FOR JUNIORS AND SOPHOMORES” and 'SENIOR RECEPTION TO BE REPLACED BY AFTER NOON DANCE.” On April 22 the paper became serious once more, devoting much of its space to fashions—a serious subject! Ask any girl! The May issue, dedicated to the Senior Class, featured the poll called “Favorites.” It might be dangerous to report the results. Since the June issue will be published after the Class of '42 has graduated, it. of course, cannot be reviewed in this illustrious volume. A word about the Business Department. It certainly deserves much praise for its hard work which gave our school a self-supporting newspaper. Intensive advertising and subscription campaigns kept the balance on the credit side of the ledger. The Class of 1942 may be proud of the record of the East Hi-Light. Ralph Nylen Debating Society UNDER the able leadership of Mr. John S. Masterson. the Debating Society got off to a promising start. The officers elected at the first meeting were Sybil Blistein. president: Betty Horton, vice-president: Phyllis Bowden, secretary: Barbara McKnight. treasurer. When Mr. Masterson entered the army. Mr. John Winters was persuaded to fill the vacancy. Open Forums were held at most meetings, and a team debated against West High on April 16. Those of us who are leaving this year sincerely hope that succeeding classes will make the Debating Society one of the most important activities of the school.

Our organization began with Mr. John Masterson as adviser, and we were sorry, yet proud, when he entered the U. S. Army. We were fortunate to have Dr. Crosby answer our call for an adviser to aid us in continuing our program. The graduating members wish every success to the new officers and their fellow Hi-Y-ers. Earl Rose Student Club WITH the enthusiasm and assistance of our new younger girls’ secretary. Miss Dorothy Snyder, the Student Club has enjoyed a most successful season. Our year’s program consisted of a First Aid Course, an Easter Monday Barn Dance, a spring vacation Camporee at Camp Hoffman, a series of talks on “Up-to-Date Dating”, a mystery ride, and numerous hikes. T he Student Club of ’42 will certainly never forget this year and the many wonderful times we have had. and we wish the best of luck and happiness to all Student Clubs of the future.

The Glee Club THE 1942 Glee Club under the direction of Miss Miriam Hosmer has been one of the most successful and cooperative that the school has had for many years. Theresa Harootunian, a senior, had the honor to sing a solo at the annual Music Festival in the Hope High School on March 28. The club has sung over the radio several times and in May, during Music Week, presented an assembly. The club met once a week and closed its activities with a very successful social. Agnes Finan The Treble Clef Club THIS year a new club was formed under the direction of Miss Miriam Hosmer—the Treble Clef Club. It is made up of fifteen outstanding members of the Glee Club and has served the school in several ways. The club has offered two programs in the Assemblies, and it also had a prominent part in the inauguration of the broadcasting station in our school. The club has done excellent work and we all hope it will continue to be an important musical organization. Muriel Aubin CAMERA CLUB Seated, left to right Curtis Hucbrtgrr. Herbert Bart low.

Under the capable direction of Mr. Amos Hawkes of the faculty, many happy hours were spent on the study of different types of cameras, printing, and enlarging. The latter proved most popular and accordingly more of it was done. Our sincere thanks go to Mr. Hawkes. who so generously gave us the use of costly material and apparatus, such as printing paper, chemicals. and the new enlarging machine, and who so willingly gave up much of his time to teach us the fundamentals of photography. Marjorie L. Mullen, President Cinemasters' Club AT the beginning of the year another club, the Cinemasters, was added to the school. The duty of the organization has been to operate the moving picture projector during study periods. Under the expert guidance of Mr. Wilfred E. Berube, Director of Visual Education, the boys have shown pictures for classes in biology, physics, chemistry, history, economics, art, and aeronautics. The first year of moving pictures in the classroom at East has been a tremendous success, and we hope that future classes will derive the same benefit and pleasure from them as we have. Milton A.

Despite the fact that they had to compete with distributors of Defense Stamps in school, the bank cashiers have more than held their own. The result of their fine work has been the maintenance of a high banking average for the class of 42 ’. In fact, we have attained the distinction as being perhaps the thriftiest graduating class”, banking 60% more than last year's class. Let s give a rousing cheer to our cashiers. They have done a most thankless job well. Colin MacKay Alexander Rzepiela Managers' Club THE Managers Club has had a very successful season because of the desire of every member to try to do his part.

In this way boys meet and enjoy the company of men who are representative of Pawtucket's industrial life. Hugo Verges Cap and Gown Committee SINCE it has always been the tradition for seniors to graduate in cap and gown, it was merely the matter of color that the Cap and Gown Committee had to decide this year. After considerable time spent in trying on and discussing the beautifully styled gowns in maroon, white, navy blue, gray, and black, they finally agreed that it would be most appropriate and economical to select black, which, as Milton said, is the color of wisdom.

In keeping with a patriotic theme, streamers, balloons, and banners in the national colors floated above the dancers' heads. Miniature Goddesses of Liberty added an impressive touch to the decorations. Helen AspiniOall The Senior Reception THE members of the Senior class had gathered for one more evening of fun together. It was the night of the senior reception: every one was dancing with gay abandonment in the festively decorated gym. The beautifully gowned girls and their handsome partners enjoyed every bar of the smooth music. At the first strains of the good night waltz the thought came that this was the end of the three short years in high school together. No senior could have asked for a more perfect ending.

Dramatic Society THE curtain dropped, the house lights brightened, and the auditorium resounded with echoes of approval. The senior play. Smilin’ Through” had been completed and with it East High lost the services of a fine group of thespians. It will seem odd not returning next September, especially to the members of the dramatic society. These last few years have seen us working side by side for the success of the society and the plays. There is no doubt that it has been enjoyable. The unparalleled work accomplished by our dramatic society has been due in part to the devoted leadership and guidance of Miss Flora Curtis. It is fitting that we pay tribute to Miss Curtis for her untiring efforts and wish her success in the future. Someone once said. All good things are rewarded in the end.” Those deserving a reward are the members of the stage crew. They have labored hard and diligently to assure the success of the plays, and to this group goes our heartfelt thanks. Long hours of setting up scenery with little praise has been the lot of this devoted group. Our hats off to you, members of the stage crew. In this connection, we arc reminded of the hustling property girls. Their work was usually completed without due recognition and to them goes our thanks. Thirty-seven years! After thirty-seven years of existence our dramatic society has taken its place as the leading extra-curricular organization in the school. May it have another 7 years, and may it continue to prosper, bringing to East High fine dramatics. Clifford S. Duxbury, Jr. Back Stage THE stage crew boys never are seen by the audience, never even rate a curtain call, but without their work the play could not go on. There is a door to be put in place, a table to be moved, lights to be switched on. and a curtain to be raised. The stage crew boys do it all. Under their skillful hands a bare stage becomes a luxurious living room. It has a huge fire place at one end and in the center of the stage there are French doors opening into the conservatory. The sun streams in through the window on the left. The “prop’' girls hurry about tacking up window drapes, arranging furniture, and making sure each member of the cast has his “props” at his hand. A play can be spoiled if a single item is missing. The student director stands in the wings following each line of the play, ready to prompt at the director's signal. She is also responsible for the sound effects. If an explosion is to occur, or a doorbell or telephone ring during the action to the play, the assistant director makes sure that the required sound will be heard at the required time. Now the stage is ready. The curtain rises and the play begins. Jean Whitehead You Can't Take It With You The East Senior High School Dramatic Society opened its 22nd season under the direction of Miss Flora S. Curtis on December 5, 1941, with the presentation of the successful comedy, “You Can't Take It With You.” by Moss Hart and George Kaufman. The story concerns the lovable Sycamore family headed by Grandpa Vanderhof, and their optimistic philosophy on life. Marcia Loebenstein as Penny, the irresponsible, nonchalant mother, played the difficult role with her usual ease and finesse. The carefree, awkward toe-dancer was expertly portrayed by Katherine Waddington, and Ralph Nylen and Betty Wheaton, who furnished the romantic relief, presented a sterling performance. Alexander Rzepelia was excellent as the grandfather and the same may be said of every other member of the well-chosen cast. Enough credit cannot be given to Raymond Cooke and his assistants who controlled the lighting and sound effects: and to Devona Green, property mistress and other property girls who acquired such curios as a stuffed alligator, a real snake, and a cat. Cheers for the reading committee for their excellent choice of play, and those on the business committee, headed by Joseph Winsten. who saw to its financial success. Never has such a flawless first play been presented: never have such capable actors and actresses made up a cast. Sybil Blistein The Three One-Act Plays night of the daughter's debut. Although the over-ambitious mother had dwelt on an engagement between the debutante and a wealthy gentleman, the young girl had finally gained her parent's consent to marry the attractive doctor who had been treating her father. Marcia Loebenstein. playing an excellent role as wife. Clifford Duxbury as her husband, and Mary-Lou Brownell as the daughter were all commended by the judges. The comedy of the evening. First Dress Suit.' by Russell Mcdcraft. was the amusing story of a youth whose first tuxedo was his pride and joy. The hardships which the young man of the world encountered while trying to retain the use of his clothes provided many humorous situations which delighted the audience. Tears, intense interest, and laughter were the emotions expressed by the enthusiastic audience which thronged the auditorium on February 27, when the Dramatic Society presented its annual One-act Play competition. Barbara's Wedding , a stirring drama by James M. Barrie, was the unanimous choice of both the spectators and the judges as the winning play. The plot concerned a retired English colonel who, due to shell shock, lived more in the past than in the present. Although this was perhaps the most difficult play ever attempted by an amateur group. Alexander Rzepclia, as the colonel. Nancy Arnold, as his wife, Helen Aspinwall, as the nurse, and Ralph Nylen. as the gardener, all turned in splendid performances. Society Notes, a subtle comedy by Duffy R. West, presented a newly-rich family on the Sybil Blistein SENIOR PLAY CAST Senior Play SUPERB! Beautiful! There never was such a play! In this year of renewed warfare the cast of “Smilin' Through’’ presented their audience with a play which went straight to their hearts, brought a smile to their lips and tears to their eyes. In a play containing exacting and very different types of individuals, castings could have produced a failure as easily as a success, but because of a fine distribution of parts, the characters were real people, as stubborn, lovable, friendly and headstrong as any of us. For two good-natured, hot-headed old gentlemen a better pair than Alexander Rzepiela and Harold Kinne could not have been found. Rzepiela. as John Cartaret, assumed the parts of a young and an old man with spontaneity and striking reality. His domino-playing partner. Dr. Owen Harding, became alive in Kinne. who presented a cool, understanding contrast to the marked prejudice of Cartaret. Well acquainted with the likes and dislikes of these two. Ellen, excellently portrayed by Marcia Loebenstein, served them in a bustling, friendly manner. Kathleen's entrance was like the rising of a lively wind to stir the calm peacefulness of the home, and no one but Helen Aspinwall could have made this part so sincere, so gay. but so tender. Deeply in love with Kathleen, young Willie Ainley. played in a good-natured manner by Clifford Duxbury, was friendly and dependable. His rival, Kenneth Wayne, became a courageous, proud, and self-sacrificing soldier in the skilful hands of Ralph Nylen. Jerry Kelly’s performance was extremely fine as the lovely, unfortunate. Moonyeen Clare who was shot accidentally by the disappointed. emotional Jeremiah Wayne of Milton Phillips. In a beautiful prologue Katherine Waddington portrayed Sarah Wayne and Mildred Clarke became Mary Clare, who in the play itself was portrayed with tenderness and sincerity by Nancy Arnold. Others who created the charming atmosphere of fifty years ago were Mary-Lou Brownell, Janice Phinney, Agnes Finan. and Jean Whitehead. The beauty of the play was enhanced by the singing of Theresa Harootunian of “Smilin’ Through and other songs in the second act. Barbara Bechard, who was business manager of the staff, did an excellent piece of work. In any play cooperation is the secret of success. A fine setting, excellent lights, good costuming and human characters all contributed to make “Smilin’ Through” a play that will not be soon forgotten. Nancy Arnold The Dramatic Society Award NO honor in East Senior High School is more coveted than the Dramatic Society Award, which is given every year to the most deserving boy and girl in the senior class. The necessary qualities are scholarship, character, school spirit, and participation in extra-curricular activities. Any member of the Rhode Island Honor Society is eligible for the award, even though he doesn't belong to the Dramatic Society. In his home-room each senior votes for the boy and the girl he considers worthy of so great an honor. The three boys and three girls receiving the largest number of votes are considered the candidates. Then by vote of the Faculty on the six. one boy and one girl are chosen. The winners are announced on Class Day. A sum of one hundred dollars is set aside from the proceeds of the senior play to be used as two scholarships. However, if the winner does not plan to continue his education, the money remains in the Dramatic Society treasury. We are proud to announce as the winners of the Dramatic Society Award for 1942: MILTON ARNOLD PHILLIPS JEAN HARVIE WHITEHEAD Ruth Perry behind the headlines FUTURE BUILDERS B CHEEZ IT THEY RF OFF THE TIES HAVE IT OUR GANG SERIOUS BUSINESS BOYS' BASKETBAI I TEAM Firtt rou . left r«i right: Milton Phillip .

Basketball COURAGE, determination, team work and cooperation banded together thirteen schoolboys into a team capable of winning their divisional title and finishing a successful season with but three defeats. East High was unconquerable in the early part of the season. They set back West 4 I-'54 in the year’s first meeting of the two schools. They rolled on and on. beating team after team by enormous scores. Mt. Pleasant losing to the Red and White. 93-16. Then the Jackets played East Providence and won again by another large accumulation of points. Then Central loomed up; East managed to pull a three-point win out of the fire. February 20 arrived and with it students with placards and the enthusiasm attendant upon an East-West game. East was the definite favorite—West was the definite winner. The Redjackets were shocked but not downhearted; they finished the season with wins over La Salle and Cranston. The East High Redjackets were the Western divisional champions of 1942. They met West in the championship play-offs at the Rhode Island Auditorium. They did not win that game, but they played their hearts out striving to do so. The Redjackets were playing that game for their captain. Ernie Calverley. Ernie loves basketball and basketball loves him. He has given his best to the Redjacket s cause for three straight years. Ernie played his last game that night for East. As a sophomore he was placed on the All-Rhode Island team again, and in this, his senior year, for the third consecutive year he was placed on the All-State team. Milton Phillips and Charles Minko also were instrumental in the team’s success. Milt, a team man and uncanny dribbler, maneuvered through the enemies’ defenses many a time when two points were needed. Phillips also acted as play-maker along with Ernie. Charlie Minko’s set shots were always popular with the fans. Charlie finished among the top of the state’s high scorers. On our defense we had Teddy Znuj. captain-elect of the 42-43 squad, and Dick Jones. Ted along with Dick defended the Jackets’ backboard impenetrably. Many times Ted would pick the ball right out of the opposing team's goal. Both Ted and Dick shone offensively as well, the former with his one hand looper and Dick with his set shots from the right side of the court. The Redjackets’ semi-victorious season is attributed to Arthur Nooney, who. in two years, brought ”his gang to two divisional titles. James Bannon, ’4). FOOTBALL Firtt row'. left to right. Bradshaw.

Pawtucket East found itself with only one starting regular. Dick Loud, returning for another season. He and Red Ashby had been elected co-captains of the team. Because so few members of the '40 squad were returning, the coaching staff could not look forward to an exceptionally successful season. After several weeks of arduous practice the eager squad met Rogers High at Newport. The lone touchdown by East was made when Laird intercepted a pass and ran thirty-five yards for the score, giving East the victory 7-0. In the next game with Mount Pleasant, East did not show much power. Then in a complete reversal of form. East showed plenty of fight and spirit against a superior LaSalle squad. The following week the Cranston game was postponed because of bad weather, and it was never necessary to play it because Cranston was defeated by Mount Pleasant for the state title. In the next game East was defeated by a powerful Central team which took advantage of East's apparent nervousness. The Monday before the annual Armistice Day East-West clash, East was defeated by Hope and West was defeated by Classical, each by a sizable margin. The East-West game was a fine contest to watch even though neither team had a very impressive record. Probably if Ashby had not been removed in the first period and Redkovich injured at the start of the fourth period. East might have eked out a victory, as the replacements simply were not equal to the task put before them. As it was. West won 13-12. The highlights of this game were two long touchdown runs by co-captain Dick Loud. The St. Raphael-East game was another good contest to watch, but East's superior opponent finally gained a 13-6 victory. This was the third loss to St. Raphael in twelve years. However. “Pard” Pearce says that next year’s prospects are brighter. We wish our successors luck and hope they remember that—win or lose—it is the spirit with which the game is played that counts.

Pawtucket East, and Hartford Public High competing, the East natators finished second to the Yale men. dunking Hartford Public High, who were considered as the Connecticut State Champions. At the Gardner meet our “water-wizards” administered a thorough trouncing to the Gardner swimmers, who were rated as our nearest competitors. This triumph, as have been most others, was brought about through the stratagems of our capable coach. Max Read. East suffered its first defeat at the hands of the Moses Brown team because of an unfortunate incident which disqualified East in the 200-yard relay event. An exciting meet was that between East High and the Brown Freshmen, in which our superior mermen splashed to an easy 40-26 victory. Our Redjackets managed only to net a tie for fourth place in the Brown Interscholastic Championships on March 7. but considering the powerful opposition supplied by the prep schools, this was a good showing. During the first meet of the season, held at the Yale pool. Gossler defeated William Lyon, rated as the top swimmer of the West coast. At the second West High contest, Ralph continued his winning streak by making two new records. Shortl after, he bested the efforts of Matt Chrowstowski, who had established a record which lasted for eight years, until Ralph came along. Later at the Brown Interscholastic Championships. Ralph distinguished himself by breaking a seven-year mark in the 100-yard freestyle and tying the 50-yard freestyle record. At Trenton. New Jersey, while representing East. Gossler ended his high school career in a blaze of glory by capturing two firsts”, the 100-yard and 50-yard freestyle events. With the disappearance of Matt Chrowstowski from schoolboy circles, Gossler is recognized as the greatest schoolboy swimmer in the United States. Swimming along to glory with Gossler was Co-captain Alvin Kluttig. one of the fin est natators that East has ever produced. Kluttig has long been noted for his powerful backstroke, and has been instrumental in winning many of East's victories. This school owes much to Alvin, for in the Lieutenant George R. Meehan meet he assured East of the New England Championship by placing second in the 100-yard freestyle event. This feat is remarkable in that Kluttig changed from his customary backstroke and was successful in a freestyle race. With Klut-tig's graduation East will have lost another of her many champions. The natatorial sun assuredly rises at East. It is our firm belief that this sun will never set. James Whittle. Jr. William A. Coivburn BASEBALI TEAM First row. left to right: Ted McC'onnon.

Robert Ryan Baseball EVEN though the prospects for a successful season were not bright in the early spring, the few returning regulars have now been reenforced by several last year's subs and junior varsity players, and it looks as if a very successful season may be expected. Coach “Pard” Pearce has spent several weeks drilling the squad in the fundamentals of baseball. Several pre-season games have been scheduled, and with these and the league games a full schedule of about twenty games will be . played. George D. Jones Track — 1942 UNDER the leadership of Phil Couhig this year’s track team will attempt to bring East High back in the headlines as far as track is concerned. It has been several years since our school has had an outstanding track team, but the prospects this year are unusually bright. I know that all my classmates will join with me in wishing Phil Couhig and his squad of speedsters a successful season. George D.

Girls' Leader Corps TRADITION plays a part in any school, and in East High that of the Girls' Leader Corps is one of the best loved. Established by Miss Martha Jones in 1931, this organization has become synonymous with good spirit, loyalty, and friendliness. That this group is a success is due mainly to the exceptional efforts of Miss Jones, whose resignation this year as faculty adviser we mourned. Our disappointment was mitigated only by the arrival of Miss Marjorie Furbish, who has well filled the position. Since leaders could not be what they are without Miss Jones, she is now an honorary member. Determined to participate in defense work, which has become so essential. Leaders rolled bandages once a week at Red Cross headquarters. Throughout the year they participated in various other activities: taught Saturday morning classes at the Y. W. C. A., toured radio station WFCI. and enjoyed an outdoor social meeting with the West High Corps. On March 17 Miss Florence Colby of Providence gave us an impressive talk on her experiences in Paris during the German invasion. But above everything else one event stood out as an accomplishment which was new and entirely suitable for this group. Weeks were spent interviewing sophomore aspirants for the corps, holding a party for them, and finally choosing carefully those whose personalities and abilities fitted them for Leaders. Then the social committee, headed by Muriel Senior, and the officers began plans for an installation. The result was a beautifully impressive candlelight ceremony held in the quiet dignity of the library where eighteen sophomores received pins and emblems. Officers for 1942 were Janet Lane, president: Antoinette Lewis, vice-president: Nancy Arnold, secretary; Ruth Taylor and M. Janice Wood, treasurers; and Sybil Blistein. historian. Beside their group affairs. Leaders referee and score volley-ball, basketball, and badminton games. They lend assistance in gym and swim classes by being generally useful. Typical of the feelings of these girls is the sister system. When a new sophomore is installed, she is welcomed by a junior and senior who are her sisters . These three girls have a close connection in school studies and activities. Each feels a responsibility for the deeds of her sister. In all their accomplishments Leaders are seeking not only poise and experience but also honor and sincerity. Realizing the seriousness of the world situation and preparing to become true citizens. Leaders are ready to uphold their ideals to so live that their lives may reflect credit on their corps.” Nancy Arnold Girls Swimming THE senior girls upheld the glory of their class by walking away with top honors in the two inter-class swimming meets held in March. Mildred Hedberg. captain of the Senior Team and East’s best breast-stroker. and “Teddy” Lewis, a newcomer to East High and a consistent winner in the freestyle and backstroke events, were especially outstanding for the class of 42. The Varsity Team, chosen from the exceptional performers in the inter-class meets, was captained by Rhea Brassard, with Betty Horton acting as manager. Janet Lane Girls' Basketball DESPITE the fact that any basketball team from East High must be good, girls’ basketball is always praiseworthy. A sport popular with numerous students, it encourages good health, sportsmanship, and fun. After a fine tournament in which 24 teams participated, play-offs decided sophomore, junior, and senior champion teams. Then came a fierce battle among these teams, from which the juniors emerged victorious. The crowning glory came, however, when the three East teams were victorious over three visiting teams from West!! Nancy Arnold GIRLS' SWIMMING Staled, left lo right. Janice Wood. Rhea Brassard.
