Now that we are on the point of departure we are not without regret. Some of us will enter the practical business W -g,'ff 4 Ac.:ff J . . . . world while others will seek the advantages of higher education. As we look back on these three years of much happiness and some sorrow, we realize that these three years have been a boon, They have given us know- ledge, discipline, and at least an incipient understanding of human relations. Our accomplishments have been many. We have acquired the ability to think and reason clearly through our study of mathematics, and somehow the geometric and algebraic problems which we studied so diligently do not seem so difficult now. Through our study of Latin we have gained a knowledge of the classics. English has given us a keener appreciation of good literature. 'Through our study of bookkeeping, typewriting and stenography we are thankful for the help they will give us to cope with the business world. We have sought to benefit ourselves through all these, and we sincerely hope our efforts have not been futile. In extra-curricular activities we have proved our worth. In debating we have distinguished ourselves and in dramatics we have added more laurels to our school. Athletics has given us the spirit of true sports- manship. Tomorrow we face a new life. What it will bring forth no one knows, and yet we feel that our foundation has been firmly laid through the hard efforts of our faculty. And so we of the class of '36 bid adieu to the coming classes, to our teachers who have succeeded in making our stay both pleasant and profitable, and to East Providence High School. We shall not forget the high ideals it has instilled in us or the trust it has placed in us. May we sincerely and confidently never violate your faith in us. East Providence!

Let's listen to a little of their conver- sation. Listen- Say, Martha, did you go to the basketball game last night? Yes, too bad we lost, but say, isn't Ray John a good player, though? I-Ie'll make the Varsity Team next year if he keeps up. Well, here comes Esther Sweeny late again. We ought to make Esther a little present of an alarm clock. Say, Marge, you'd better stop chew- ing that gum or you'll be sponging on Shirley Trayes' title of best gum-chewer in the class, Say, Martha, did you do your Latin? No, but I guess I know who did, Mmmmm, so do I. And who doesn't, for that matter? Eleanor Brown and Phyllis Hudson are always pre- pared, but the results aren't so bad! First honors every month. We go to English third period. don't we? ' Yes, and am I looking forward to that period! Jessie I-lunt's humor and wisecracks are enough to brighten any class. Didn't we used to have fun in study with her, last term? I'll say we did, ' Wasn't there a large class of l-B's entered in February? Yes, and they seem to be a pretty lively group, by the looks. I suppose the class that is now the 2B's would be insulted if we called them Sophomores but, nevertheless, they'r.e not so far ahead of us. - Mary Chase is quite popular with the boys, especially Juniors. I'll say she is. And as for notes, I'll bet she gets ten a day. There goes Bob Peel, Bernie Lavallee and Gilly Johnson into the music room -three rising musicians. I wonder what the band would do without them. There go Beverly Johnson and Mabel Higginbotham. I wonder how they're getting along with the Commer- cial Course? They're two of the class's secretarys, you know. 'ADoris Thornton and Cleo Mondson are inseparable-at least they seem that Way. Here's Mary Dowd-late. I guess she stayed up too late at the basketball game last night. I guess she hasn't missed one this year. Isn't that Taylor boy tall? Beside little Marshal Brown he looks twice as tall as he really is. I guess they're the tallest and shortest in the class. Golly, I had a time with my French last night. But Ellen Annable helped me out of my difficulty. I think she's the best French student in the class, don't you? Oh, here comes Kay Roe and Shir- ley Trayes fthe inseparable pairD . Guess I'll have to get my books and skip! So-long, Marge, see you in Latin. I O 5 6 I EAS T PROVIDENCE 67 V Class of 1937 During the month of January the Junior Class elected its officers. Not long after, the class held a meeting. From a good seat in the corner I could see what was happening. At this meet- ing Jimmy Tracy, our president, Cwho is also an outstanding athlete and honor studentb presided. He called upon Ruth Halton, our secretary, to make a report. When she finished she sat down between Irene Del Rossi, vice-president, and Miss Gilbert, our class advisor. Ellsworth Goff, capable treasurer, urged all mem- bers to pay their dues promptly Cwhich is a hint to you, who have notj. Kenny Johnson, chairman ofthe social com- mittee, then spoke about the plans of the prom, which was held on May eighth. It's great success was due, un- doubtedly, to the work of the social committee. Glancing around I saw several of the well known members of our class. Louise Swanson, Marion McConnell, and Barbara Jackowitz, three very good cheerleaders, were talking to some friends across the aisle. The different teams were represented by their athletic members. Russell Varnum was discuss- ing basketball with Ken Trayes, the wrestler, and Leonard Smith was talk- ing with Alfred Whitehead about the last football season. Jimmy Tracy then made final an- nouncements and adjoined the meeting. Most of us left with the dreaded real- ization that we had but one more year in high school when we, too, would be- come one of the many graduating classes of East Providence High School. EAST PROVIDENCE ss , ' Class Prophecy We, Althea Hall, Dorothy Usher, Ruth Hunt, Ruth Ephraimson, and Betty Hunt were serving as volunteer workers in the freak flood of 1950, when the Ten-Mile and Seekonk Hooded the central and northern portions of the town and when a tidal wave inun- dated the southern part of the com- munity, which is commonly known as Riverside. No lives were lost but there was con- siderable property damage. The town census taker, Belinda Taylor, and as- sistants, Ethel Chernick, Pat Spencer, Miriam Siperstein, Isabel Watler, and Marguerite Diamond, were appointed to facilitate relief. V Coast Guard crews under Captain William Saunders were rushed to the scene of the catastrophe. Among others, his oflicers and crew included Leo Tatro, Russell Stevens, Stanley White, and Eddie DeMarco. A special airplane manned by Louis Arnold and Harley Williamson carried supplies to the more isolated areas. Bette Gardner, Esther Stokes, Pearl Phillips, Peggy Frankland, and Claire Fournier, air hostesses, aided in distributing the food. Lawrence Brown and Mark Gil- bert served as the radio operators. The aviators reported having flown over Cresent Park, and they rescued Helen Lynch and Arlene Coombs, who were stranded on top of the Alhambra with Red Bowles and Ranny Roe. Her- bie Bates and Gordon Mclntosh who EAST Pnovlozwce 69 Y had been playing in Unk Allen's orches- tra were also rescued. A special radio program was given over a national hook-up to ask for aid in the stricken area. Betty Breaden was chairman of the program. The list of talent obtained for this was a notable one. Edith Poor, the successful young opera star, sang: Bob Hall, who has risen to fame rapidly as a great dram- atic actor, made an appeal. Helen Water- man, New York's most popular blues singer, was also starred in the broad- cast. Rae Place, the distinguished Broad- way comedienne, performed. Flora Leigh, the society poet, read the stirring epic, which she had written about the disaster, and which was so greatly ac- claimed by the critics of Chicago. Louise Picarelli, young American pianist, played. Bob Clark announced the pro- gram. A committee for flood relief had been organized with Irving Hicks as chair- man. Kitty Bertram was appointed corresponding secretary. Frank Bos- worth contributed printing free. Some of the census takers told amus- ing accounts of what they had en- countered. For instance, the beauty parlor which Helen Harwood and Helen Jason had been operating was com- pletely ruined. Marguerite Grinnell, Dorothy Robinson, Constance Fitz- gerald, and Betty Haney were found, curlers in hair, and cards in hand, perched in a tree cooly finishing their bridge game. Ashley Lewis was seen paddling panic stricken up Taunton Avenue on the roof of a hen house. At about the same time, rescue workers saw Janet Collins and Mary Louise Mackinney in a row boat salvaging what dogs and cats they could fine. The P ' Q 5 CJ animals were washed away from their kennels in Rumford. Jean Cronin and Betty Burns were seen marooned on the highest peak of the roller coaster at Crescent Park. The rescuers also saw one of Charlie Vialls' prize cows, laboriously swimming up Grove Avenue with Charlie astride. Arline Adams, director of nursing from Washington, headed a group of Red Cross Nurses. Among them we found Marion Myrberg, Phyllis Riley, Marion Halton, and Lillian Cormier. The Town Hall, having survived the flood, was made headquarters for relief work. Mary O'Donnell, Rita Mc- Conaghy, Florence Smith, Clara Bar- ber, and Miriam O'Connell were busily engaged in the office. Harriet Young and Elva Lawrence were also there, di- recting the clothing supplies for the refugees. Brave telephone operators who stayed at their posts throughout the flood were Bernice McLaughlin, Peggy Dwyer, Evelyn Stark, Dot Johnson, Estelle Gregory, and Anna Simonelli. The police force kept law and order. Bennett O'Kane, Larry Caulfield, and Earl Bassett were the policemen Whom we saw. In an Eat Shoppe run by Norma Holter and Bob Savage we found Lil- lian Ring, Theresa Moniz, and Mae Hendrickson, whom we found to be the musicians there. Shirley Roberts and the Huntsman twins, artists, were discuss- ing plans for posters for the flood re- lief committee. The wounded people were taken to the hospital on Waterman Avenue.

In 1635 he built a house on the upper bank of Blackstone River. His house though long decayed, now marks the original site of Cumber- land, Rhode Island, about three miles from the city of Pawtucket. Roger Williams was the second settler in this vast wilderness. Roger Williams came to Rhode Island in 1936, but upon being notified that he was still on ground belonging to the Plymouth Colony, he moved west- ward across the Seekonk River. The real founder of Rehoboth and particularly the part to be known later as East Providence, was the Reverend Samuel Newman, who with his party of Iifty-eight men, came to settle along the Seekonk river. The houses of this iirst colony were built in a semicircle around Seekonk Common, the church and the minister's house standing with- in. The flrst church erected by these colonists was very near the spot Where the present Newman church stands. The first building was erected in 1646. Seventy-one years later is was replaced by another building. Then in 1810 a third building was erected across the road. This building, still standing, is the present Newman church, better known as the White church. These people held their first town meeting on June 21, 1644. On July 3, 1644,-a compact was signed in which nine men were appointed group leaders, called Townsmen, and were the prede- cessors of the oilicials who today con- stitute the town council. The year 1675, which marked the opening of King Phillip's War, was a time of anxiety for the colonists of Massachusetts and Rhode Island. It brought a full measure of disaster to the little colony on Seekonk Common, now Rumford. Phillip, son of Massasoit, seeing his land going little by little to the whites determined to exterminate them. Town after town heard the dread Indian yell, saw the painted bodies, and heard the hiss of the Indian arrow. In July of that year, Noale Newman, son of Samuel Newman, with a force of white settlers met Phillip and a party of Indians on the Seekonk plain. The whites attacked the Indians, killing several of them but escaping without one death among themselves. The next year the Indians were able to set fire to the Ring of the town, destroying some forty houses. A number of arrowheads have been found near the brick house on the property of the Providence Ice Company, between Omega pond and the railroad track. It is believed that some engagement with the Indians oc- cured at this spot. The contrast between the roads then and now is great. There were many trails through the country surrounding Providence. One trail went along what is now Meeting Street, and then to the site of the present Red Bridge. This was called the Wampanoag trail. The second trail followed the course of Power street to Hope Street thence to the narrow point where the present Washington bridge stands. This was called the Watchemoket trail. These two points on the Seekonk River have been used as crossing places for more I Q 5 6 EAST PROVIDEN'CE 75 N V than two hundred and sixty years. The Narrow Passage ferry crossed the See- konk River a few rods south of the present location of Red Bridge. Long before the advent of the white men the Indians kept canoes here on the Wam- panoag trail for the use of travelers along that route. The records of March 3, 1689, note that Captain Andrew Edmond was granted four acres of land for accom- modation to keep a ferry at the Narrow Passage. This ferry wharf was eighty feet south of Red Bridge. On the East Providence side of the river the ferr' landing was three hundred feet south of Red Bridge. From there a road wound in a northeasterly direction over the land now occupied by the Standard Oil Company to a point a few rods north of the intersection of Massasoit and Waterman Avenues. This road was formerly known as Ferry Lane. In 1890 there was the remains of the old road running east toward Broadway, Six Corners. V The business section of the Watch- emoket district was centered around the site of the old Washington Bridge, but with the completion of the new structure at a slightly different angle, the business center now lies along the route to Six Corners, at which point a huge brick building stands-our school. Jean Cronin '3 6 ----ooo-i- Riverside and Its First Settlers --. - A On the eastern f ,Q r ' lil -7 H: bank of the Narra- A '- gg ,,, ---. - f gansett Bay, about 'Z ,f five miles south of fm, '--- ,4 . . T Providence, is lo- cated the village now named River- side. In the near future this town will celebrate its tercentenary, for in 1645 John Brown purchased some land from Massasoit and built his home in this section, and so started the settling of Riverside. John Brown was a good friend of Massasoit, and an ex- ample of their friendship can readily be seen by the following incident which occurred. One of John Brown's grand- sons, who was standing in a doorway, was shot by an Indian. Massasoit felt very badly about this, and on his death- bed he secured a promise from his two sons that no harm should come to the Brown family. About the same time that John. Brown was building his house, his son- in-law, Thomas Willett also erected his: home in Riverside. Captain Willett, as. he was sometimes called, for he succeeded. Miles Standish as captain of the military' forces of the Plymouth Colony, was. born in England in 1610. At nineteen years of age, he crossed the Atlantic with the last of the Leyden Company. In 1633 he was admitted a freeman of the Plymouth Colony. Three years later he married Mary Brown and was the father of eight children. Thomas Willett was probably the greatest trader with the Indians of that time. He plunged into the wilderness where the foot of white man had never trod and established with the Indians trading posts that extended as far north as Maine and as far south as the capes of Delaware. In his sloop that he built at. Bullock's Cove he sailed to New Ams- terdam and up the Hudson River to Fort Orange, now the city of Albany. After serving two years as mayor of New' York he came back to his New England estate which stood on the present site of the large red house at Chimney Corner on the street named in honor of him, 76 A EAST PDOVIDENCE' Q Willet Avenue. There was a place set aside on his farm for a burial plot. Afterwards this land was given to the town of East Providence for a town burial ground and it is in this cemetery that Thomas Willett and other mem- bers of the Brown and Willett families are buried. . Thomas Willett, like his father-in- law, was a good friend of the Indians. It is interesting to note that a year after his death, when King Philip's War broke out in 1675 and the Indians were killing the settlers and burning their homes, the Willett homestead was left unharmed. It remained standing for many years. The remains of the old house stood for some years as a lone sentinal, until Colonel H, Anthony Dyer erected the present house around the old Willett Chimney. In the exhibition rooms of the Rhode Island Historical Society may be seen a topless thimble of the Colonial Period. On this tiny band of silver is the in- scription i'Esther Willett. It was for- merly the property of one of Mayor Willett's daughters. This ancient house- hold utensil was found by one of the workmen who were erecting the present house and it was presented to the Rhode Island Historical Society by Colonel Dyer. Along Willett Avenue there are sev- eral other old houses. Among them is the one on Whitcomb Farm Plat. This old homestead was recently renovated. Formerly the whole plat was a large chicken farm, which extended from Pawtucket Avenue to the ice pond. The farm was equipped with electric flood lights as a protection against thieves. On Pawtucket Avenue, near Willett, stands an old house, generally known as the lightning splitter. On Willett Avenue there is a build- ing- that might iittingly be called the Little Red School house. Many years ago it was willed to the town of East Providence by Jesse Medbury, on con- dition that it be used for school pur- poses. Should it ever be used otherwise, the property would again go back to the heirs. M Riverside was formerly a part of Re- hoboth. About l862 it was annexed to Rhode Island, This community has been renamed several times. It was at one time called Sowams. Later the In- dians named it Wannamoisett, and ac- cording to a translation by Roger Wil- liams this meant a good fishing place. When the railroad was built, the village became known as Lewis Station, and after the settling of a summer colony, as Cedar Grove. In 1872 the Riverside Improvement Association changed the name to Riverside. The streets were laid out by General Lysander Flagg of Pawtucket. He had been out West and had seen a town laid out along the shore line.- As he liked the plan of this western town, he proceeded to lay out what has later been called the maze. The streets in different sections of the town are named after presidents of the United States, gover- nors and secretaries of the state of Rhode Island, principal cities of New England, and trees. In the spring of 1872, Gen- eral Plagg asked his sister, Mrs. Asa B. Knowlton, to go to Cedar Grove. She asked about a church there and was told that the nearest church was three miles on' in Barrington, She said that she would not go to live so far from a church. He promised her that they .p A . -'C E ST PROVIDEN E Y 77 would build one. It was dedicated in July, 1872, as the Union Chapel. The olden methods of transportation were very interesting. Even as late as 1890 there were only two trains be- tween Riverside and Providence, one in the morning and one in the evening. Should you happen to miss these trains there were the boats, although they were not very dependable: for the landing of the boat often depended upon the tide. There was so much competition in the steamship liners that a person could travel to Providence on a boat for five cents round trip. About 1894, the street car appeared in Riverside. At the pres- -ent time there are several means of trans- portation, the electric busses, the New England busses and the trains. Riverside was the first district of the town of East Providence to establish a playground and also the first to establish a boy scout troop. The village is rapidly growing in population and there are many of the -older folks who have interesting stories to tell about the great number of changes which have taken place within the last century. Ethel Johnson '36 -ooo--1 How Washington Bridge Got Its Name X The manner in which Washington I Bridge first got its ra i l name is interesting ' ' : from a historical -civic enterprise. viewpoint and as an example of early During the latter part of the eighteen- th century, most civic undertakings were promoted by four men, the wealthy Brown brothers. It was through the efforts of one of these, John Brown, that the first bridge was built across the Seekonk. In colonial days, Providence was protected by her sur- rounding waterways from hostile foes, but when the Indian wars ended, the problem arose how trade might be pro- moted with Massachusetts, which then extended to the eastern bank of the Seekonk river. John and Moses Brown had gained their wealth through commercial trans- actions, so it was only natural that they should desire to span the deep and dan- gerous arm of the bay by a bridge. Red Bridge was built by Moses Brown and was called Central Bridge at that time. but its name degenerated to Red Bridge when it was repainted a violent red. . Washington Bridge, which crosses the river where it is broader and deeper, was built by John Brown, whose name is almost forgotten in connection with the present bridge. Both bridges were swept away in 1807, but Moses lived to see his bridge replaced. John Brown was powerfully built and he weighed four hundred pounds. It was a customary sight forthe people of Providence to see Brown driving his sulky through the streets of Providence with his little son, John Francis, sitting on a stool between his knees because there was no room on the seat beside him. John was an ardent patriot and he actually engaged in providing the Amer- ican troops with powder which his cap- tains were ordered to bring home on his vessels. It was probably through this service that he first became acquainted with Washington, who was desperately in need of ammunition. When peace came, there arose the project of bridging C' 78 EAST PROVIDENCE 1 the river between Rhode Island and Massachusetts. After many efforts John Brown suc- ceeded, with the aid of his associates, in securing the passage of an act organizing the Providence South Bridge Society in 1793. The purpose was to erect a toll bridge over the river between Providence and Rehoboth near Tockwotton Point on Fuller's Ferry, at the south end of Providence. It was no easy matter in those days to level and cart 150,000 tons of dirt without the aid of trucks or steam- shovels. Less than a year after its build- ing was sanctioned by the General As- sembly, the first team passed over Washington Bridge in 1793. On the west end of the bridge was a monument on which could be read Washington Bridge: built by John Brown, Esquire 1793. This monument is erected by the founder and proprietor of India Point as a testimony of his respect for the great and illustrious Washington. Thus the construction of the first Wash- ington Bridge was not only a commer- cial enterprise but a tribute to the living President, one of the few erected in his honor during his lifetime. Betty Breaden '36 -ooo- The Historic Abell Place f This house is bet- l . ter known as the ,N Hill House at East Providence Center. This house is of some historical interest. During and before King Phillip's war is was oc- cupied by Preserved Abell and was in the hands of his descendants down to a few years after 1850. King Phillip was accustomed to visit Pre- served Abell frequently and previous to the war, thought much of him. In hon- or of Phil1ip's rank when he visited there, a massive chair, the armchair of the family, was brought out for him to sit in. When on March 28, 1676, the Ring of the Common was burned. including about sixty-nine houses and barns, the Abell house among the num- ber, King Phillip, it is related, went in, brought out the chair, and sat in it while watching the conflagration. When ready to leave, he threw a iirebrand in- to the chair, which was somewhat burned and still shows the marks of the fire. This chair remained in the possession of the family as long as the descendants occupied the house and after one or two transfers of the property, but it was finally sold with other household goods at auction, and a Providence doctor bought the chair. Subsequently, how- ever, the Reverend L. G. Woodward be- came the owner of it. The last Abell to own the place was Preserved Thomp- son Abell, whose ancestors go back directly to the first Preserved Abell. It is supposed that the present structure, which was somewhat damaged by Hre, was the second erected after the house burned in King Phillip's war. There is no doubt that the present house was erected more than 125 years ago but it is not thought possible that it could have been built 250 years ago which it must have been if it were erected immediately after the house was burned in King Phillip's War. The descendants of Preserved Abell were scattered all over the Union, some of them obtaining eminent positions. This house is situated at 66 Green- S 'EAST PROVIDENCE 79 wood Avenue, East Providence Center and now belongs to Mr. Frank Allen Hill, having been purchased by the Hill Family in 1865. Margaret Fischer '3 6 -lowi- How Ramford Baking Powder Received Its Name Rumford salesmen are frequently asked by the dealers the meaning of the word '4Rumford , and why they use it in connection with their baking pow- der. The reason is this: Benjamin Thompson, an American, born in Wo- burn, Massachusetts, in 1743, at an early age began the study of medicine. Owing to political complications he re- moved to England and entered the Army. In 1784 he entered the service of the Elector of Bavaria, and for fourteen years devoted his time to the investi- gation of the means of supplying nu- tritious food at the lowest possible cost to the State, and in appreciation of his brilliant success, was knighted Count Rumford . In 1797 Count Rumford made a liberal bequest to the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, in Boston. Dur- ing 1797-1800 he aided in developing the plans of the Royal Institution, Lon- don. He founded the Rumford Pro- fessorship of Chemistry in Harvard University, and Professor E. N. Hors- ford, one of the founders of this Com- pany, and the inventor of the baking preparations, was Rumford Professor from 1847 to 1863. In recognition of the Rumford Professorship, and in honor of its founder, the Works and the Baking Powder were named.

In the lirst picture that flashes on our brain we see Milton Burgess alighting from a carriage at the top of Warren Avenue hill. He has just returned from a busi- ness trip in the South. As Milton walks up the path between the big pines, he 80 EAST PROVIDENCE 1 feels a quiver of contentment pass through him, for he feels that the busi- ness he has just concluded is for the benefit of his country, although he has made a good profit out of it for him- self. Milton's thoughts are soon for- gotten when he enters the old Burgess homestead because that is one place where Milton leaves his business trans- actions out-side. When he enters his home he is at peace with himself and with the world. In outward appearance the old Homestead looks like a castle of the mediaeval ages. The house stands on a six-foot rise of ground and con- tains twenty rooms which are furnished with furniture that dates back to the Age of Elizabeth. In the yard back of the house there are two barns where the horses and farm implements are kept. But let us return to the affairs of Milton. It is nine-thirty in the evening of the same day and we see Milton slowly picking his way with the help of a lan- tern, down the cellar stairs. Milton knows that if tonight's shipment comes in, his trip to the south will not have been in vain. Milton goes to the North part of the cellar and opens a trap door that was covered by a coal bin. He goes through this trap door and enters a long narrow room about fifty feet long and twelve feet wide. At the opposite end of the room is a small, low door. To this, Milton goes-and opens it. There were waiting for him two white men and twenty-five negroes, for Milton is one of the operators of an underground railroad. His business in the south had been arranging for the shipment of these slaves. Today, as people pass the old Home- stead, they never think that the house was one of the minor causes of the Civil war. WiIlz'am J, Ahern '36 East Providence High School M The high school in East Providence- nad its beginning, in a wooden frame building on Grove Avenue, the building now housing Grove Avenue grade school. The high school used the upper floor, and the grammar school the lower. The school was started in 1885 with Mr. Horn as principal, and two women teachers. The first class to graduate from the school was the class of 1887, a class of two members. Mr. Horn did not stay long and he was followed by Mr. Irving Chaffee. Mr. Chaffee came of an old New New England family, and lived in Rum- ford in the Chaffee Homestead. He re- mained only a few years, leaving to be- come president of Webb Academy in New York City. He died only a few years ago. He was succeeded by Mr. Alexander who stayed until 1898 when Mr. Ed- gar Johnson, a graduate of the school, became principal. Mr. Johnson when a student, was one of two students from East Providence taking entrance eX- aminations at Brown, examinations, the result of which admitted East Prov- idence to certification privileges. Mr. Harold Dean followed Mr. Johnson and remained until 1915. In 1909, during Mr. Dean's principalship- the present building was erected, with but two stories. The building accom- modated two hundred and fifty stu- dents, but only two hundred were en- rolled. At that time there were eleven teachers on the faculty. In 1915 Mr. Alfred J. Maryott be-- came principal, and remained until 1931. EAST PROVIDENCE Y .

Gordon McIntosh '36 1000- The Saving of Massasoit's Life On the edge of the Sil- ver Spring Golf Course I in East Providence there .55 ' 9 7 stands a huge stone mar- ker. On this marker these words are inscribed: Sowams or Sowamset, Indian Village. Favorite Home of Massachusetts Sachem of Wampa- noagsf' This district was likewise known at Pokanoket. It included the sites of the present towns of Warren, Bristol, Barrington and East Providence in Rhode Island with portions of Swan- sea, Seekonk, and Rehoboth. There is a very interesting story con- cerning the saving of Massasoit's life which took place in Barrington. In March, l623, news came to Plymouth that Massasoit was sick and likely to iii. J. 1 sf .vs ' 1 die, and also that a Dutch vessel had been stranded near his residence. It was necessary for Governor Bradford to send someone to try to save Massasoit and to have a conference with the' Dutch. Ed- ward Winslow, who was the fittest man for the expedition, set out for Matta- puyst with one companion, John Hampden, and an Indian guide. Before they reached their destination they met some Indianswho told them that Mass- asoit was dead. They werepyery much grieved and stopped to rest'at a place called., Sachems. In a little while a messenger came and reported that Mass- Iasoit was not dead. Winslow and Hampden were very much relieved. and set out immediately. When they reached Massasoit's residence they found that the Indians were in the midst of their incantations. Winslow went up to Massasoit and told him that the Gover- nor had sent him to cure him. Then Winslow gave him a kind of confection and scraped his tongue. He was better almost immediately and was very grate- ful to Winslow. He said, Now I see that the English are my friends and love me, and while I live I will never forget the kindnesses they have shown me. Dorothy Usher '36 ---ooo-f Kettle Point This point on Nar- ragansett 'Bay was named Kettle Point because of the tra- dition of an Indian dinner left cooking there and found by some hungry white men. The following episode took place when Roger Williams was an old man. The Indians distrusted everyone but EAST PROVIDENCE 83 V Williams because the white men had tried to get all the land they could with- out paying for it. Williams knew that the Indians were going to attack, so he decided to meet themand try to make them go away. Although they agreed to spare him, they did not leave until they had- burned the' small village of about fifty houses. 'At last the time had come when Roger Williams could not stop the Indians. There on Kettle Point lived a man named Lewis who liked the Indians' way of living and lived very intimately with them. His bestf friend, an Indian named Quanto, lived in a wigwam, but Lewis had a cabin. They both got their living from the Narragansett Bay. Lewis was called the freight man be- cause he carried freight and passengers across the Bay and even down as far as Newport. As there was trouble brewing be- tween the 'Whites and the Indians, Lewis prepared to go to Newport. Quanto came to him and asked him to take his children to Aquidneck to their grand- mother. When Lewis returned from Aquidneck he found his family alive but in danger, so he hurried them a- board and set out for Newport. They traveled as far as Warwick Neck where they were met by a canoe of Indians who demanded Quanto's children. Lewis, afraid that the Indians would kill him and his family if he said he did not have Quanto's children, decided to say that he did have them. When they insisted that he give them up, Lewis not wishing to be caught in a falsehood which would bring instant death, gave them his own children in- stead of Quanto's. Just then there was a puff of wind and he was carried from the Indian's reach. I-le hoped they would hold his children as hostages for Quanto's children. After quite a time the children were exchanged as he had hoped. Quanto had been killed in the fight and a brother warrior had made the attempt to save Quanto's children. ' - ' A few years later- Lewis .returned to the Point and built another home, where he lived until his death. Pearl M.

' 'QV beautifully situated in the I eastern part of Riverside and following this street to its end. This cemetery lies on a small hill. Throughout the cemetery there are many large trees. On the south and west side, the cemetery is bounded by a small cove. At extreme low tide, the water leaves this cove almost com- pletely. Woods extend back on the east side and a field on the north side. In this cemetery are buried many soldiers. This is a very old cemetery and dates back to the seventeenth century. The northern part of the cemetery is the newer part. Here the monuments are more modern and some are very beauti- ful. The southern part of the cemetery is the old part. Here most of the mon- uments are just slabs of slate. Some of these are so old that it is impossible to read the inscriptions on them. There is one monument of speciallimportance in the old section. This is a large rock 84 EAST Pmovl'oENCE 1 which is surrounded by an iron fence. On this rock is inscribed the words Thomas Willet First Mayor of New York Born 1610--Died 1674 Willet Avenue is named after this man. Little Neck Cemetery is a beautiful and historic little cemetery for visitors to see. Some of the early settlers of River- side are buried here. There is Levy Winchester who died in l872: he was a builder and the lirst postmaster of Riverside. There is also John Brown, a builder of Riverside. It is assumed that Ann Howland was buried here. She was the mother-in-law of John Brown. She was also the first English woman to step ashore at Plymouth. Harvey Dennis '36 Iloooi- The Whitcomb Farm At the corner of Willett and Paw- tucket Avenue in - Riverside stands a h o u s e with a varied and interesting history. lt is now owned by T. Howard Ray, but he is the latest of a long line of owners. The house was built in 1733 by Joseph Brown, a descendant of John Brown the Settler. The property ex- tended from Salt Creek to the Prov- idence River, and included a great deal of land. It was originally a manor house and had large servants' quarters and an outdoor kitchen. There are three stories and a garret. The garret is now sealed up because it is unsafe. The house was built with hand-made nails and laths, and in the dining-room 'J' 71- ' fy l 9 1 3 rg, , frm, is a Valuable hand-made china cabinet. On the third floor the original floors are still in use. The living room is bor- dered with valuable hand-made piano key moulding. The bricks for the sides of the house are believed to have been brought from England. Joseph Brown sold the property to Captain Thomas Allen, who started a liquor-distilling business there. This was not successful, however, and he re- turned to the sea. He never came back, and his wife ran the house as a tavern until her death in 1840. It was here that the horses were changed on the stage-line between Providence and War- ren. When Mrs. Allen died the property was divided between her four children. One of the daughters married a Mr. Armington, who built the lightning- splitter on Pawtucket Avenue. Another daughter married a Bicknell. Their son was an eminent Rhode Island Historian. The house went to Joseph Allen, who sold it to William Whitcomb. It stayed in the Whitcomb family for three generations. Maria Whitcomb, Who is still alive, next owned it. She sold it to a man named Eddy, who sold it to Warren Eales. Pales ran a poultry farm here, and then raised dogs. He had the land platted and sold it out in house lots. After this, it changed hands rapidly several times, and was bought by the Rays in 1929. Ruth Reynolds '36 B ullock's Tavern ,y An excellent relic 6 of the stage coach days of a century or so ago is the Old Tavern to be seen , ,EAST PROVlDEN'CE 85 V about half a mile north of the village of Riverside in East Providence. lt is now a part of the Standard Oil Com- pany section, and is used as a residence. Situated on the east side of Paw- tucket Avenue nearly opposite the old Judge Armington house, this command- ing building forms a conspicuous land- mark. lt is of brick and stone and stands somewhat back from the high- way. The building once consisted of a main portion and two ells, a long dining room in the main part having been used for a dance hall in the stage coach days. All of the rooms have oyster shell partitions and there are hieroglyphics on the walls. There were iive fireplaces in the main portion of the house only. The architecture of these is purely colonial. In one of the ells there was a huge Dutch oven used for cooking. Many of the doors have orig- inal latches and some of the cupboards have small wooden pegs for hangers. The partitions of the cellar, which consists of four rooms, are entirely of brick and on the ceiling may be seen the original beams ten inches in width. This was the half way stopping place for the refreshing of passengers and horses on the two trips that were made each way daily between Providence and Bristol. Dorothy Usher '36 --ooo-- Pomham Rocks Lighthouse About two hun- dred and f i f t y 37 - - y a r d s from the - L' ,E eastern shore of the Narragansett Bay are the Pomham Rocks. These rocks, which cover about three quarters of an acre, formerly belonged to Mr. Arm- ington, one of the first settlers of Riverside, but at his death they were sold to the United States government for government purposes. These rocks are truly patriotic, for on the north side, carved by the pounding of the waves, is the profile of George Washington, and on the south side is the face of a native Indian. There is no record of when the light- house was started, but in 1871 the light was first lit. The first tender was a man by the name of Salzbury, who kept the station from 1871 until his death in 1893. ln 1873 the lighthouse was struck by lightning but was not injured badly enough to require the building of a new house. In 1874 the boat house was built. This house extends partly over the water to enable the men, by means of tackle, to hoist the boats up into the houses in winter. At Salz- bury's death his wife and daughter tended the station from April 1893 un- til Christmas of that year, at which time a Mr. Dodge was appointed tender. He remained here approximately ten years. In 1898 the fog signal station was built. From 1898 to 1900 this station was equipped with a fog siren, which was run by kerosene. The siren gave out a continual blast during a storm or fog. But in 1900 this siren was replaced by a thousand pound bell which is rung by clock work. This bell will run steadily for three hours, striking a double stroke every twenty seconds. In 1900 the oil house was built. This house contains an oiltank, the capacity of which is six hundred gallons. Noth- ing but kerosene oil is used on the island. At Mr. Dodge's departure a Mr. Fish- burn was appointed, but remained only 86 EAST PROVIDENCE Y five years. Next a Mr. Aronson was ap- pointed tender. Mr. Aronson had been tender of the light for twenty-eight years the first of April of this year, and he is to be commended for the line con- dition in which he has kept all the things pertaining to the lighthouse and to the light. ' Prom l9l5 to 1918 no visitors were allowed at the light by the order of the United 'States Government. E The lighthouse itself is a fairly large structure built in a French mansard style, lt has seven rooms, two halls and a tower forty two feet' high. The cellar is divided into two divisions by a strong brick wall. One division, the capacity of which is six thousand gal- lons, is used to hold the water that is used bythe keeper. Nothing but rain water is used at the light. The house is equipped with large gutters that lead to a drain: this in turn has a piping leading to the water container. lf it has been especially rainy and there is enough water to supply the keeper's need a flap on the drain is opened and the water runs into the bay. On the Hrst floor are the kitchen, living room, and ofHce, in which are kept the daily journals and log which have been kept by the lighthouse keepers since the beginning of the light. On the second floor are the sleeping rooms and the stairs leading to the tower. The tower has two landings: on the top one is the light. The lens outside of the light is of the fourth order and is made of concave and convex magnifying glass. The light is red and has 820 candle power. There is a focal plane of sixty- seven inches and the light is visible for twelve miles. I For many years throughfogs and storms the bell of the lighthouse has rung out to the ears of the pilots of large and small boats, guiding them away from the rocks to safety. Betty Haney '36 ---ooo-1 A The Old White Church The Newman Congre- gational Church, com- . rnonly called Theii Old lWhite Church, has been standing for two hun- dred and ninety-two years. lt is, probably the in existence which is built on land purchased directly from the Indians and which has preserved to this day, the old, original quit-claim deed signed by King Phillip himself and witnessed by four of his Indian braves. It is probably the only church in the country which without moving, has been under two National Governments, in two different States, and in three dif- ferent towns. Religious difficulties in Weymouth led to the founding of the Old White Church. ln 1643 the Reverend Samuel Newman and a band of thirty followers marched from Weymouth into the wil- derness and after a two-day journey they settled on a plain which now forms a part of East Providence, but which Mr. Newman called Rehoboth, which means 'groom enough. The church has withstood the brunt of internal and external strife, but it has also had to bear the brunt of war,- war with the Indians, King Phillip's, war. As an example of internal strife, a group of townsmen objected to the Parson's salary and as a result the Famous Long Meeting was held. The gitauwilmi.. only church EAST PROVIDEN'CE 87 V Parson and his group argued and tried to outdo the other group and the other group sang and shouted to drown the parson's arguments. The meeting lasted for three days and nights until the pas- tor finally obtained from the courts possession of the property and also his salary. if The-Newman Church was one of the first t'o'rule against the use' of ardent spirits. In 1832 a resolution was passed which ruled that no member should use spirits except as medicine , nor could anyone be granted a membership if he used spirits. I ' ' The first meeting house stood where now stands the wall of the cemetery. Lacking a bell to call people to the ser- vices, a roll of a drum was used. One of the first important acts of the town's committee was to decide upon a seating arrangement in the church. The con- gregation was seated lirst with regard to dignity, second by age and third ac- cording to taxes paid to support the church. In 1700 the meeting house was en- larged, and in 1716 a new one was built. The present building was erected in 1810, when the bell which chimes for services today, Hrst chimed across Rumford. The present building is al- most intact as it was in 1810 except for a few minor changes and some new paint.

Mr. Walker was a weaver in Eng- land, but he became a farmer in Amer- ica. His house was burned by Indians in 1678. He built anothervhouse on the same spot, but, unfortunately, he died before the house was finished. His wife was given permission to have the house finished. He left a cash estate of six hundred and eighty-one pounds, and was considered one of the wealthiest men in ,Massachusetts Today, on a large lot on theiicorner of Massasoit Avenue and North Broadway, stands this very house remarkably well pre- served. ' The outer walls of the house, besides having clapboards on the inner side, have square hand-made bricks that were for more extensive protection from the Indians. About one hundred years later two rooms were added to the house, and still more recently, the clapboards have been replaced by shingles., On nearly every door of the house are the original latches, and on others, brass door-knobs of a later period. The boards are sturdy nineteen inch floor wide oak planks made without doubt from trees on the land. On the high 'doors Ccompared with the low ceilingsj there are some famous L hinges. Although this house is called the Dexter House frequently, we can see how it is really the Walker House. Phillip Wa1ker's grandson had five daughters who were left alone by the death of his wife and himself. The oldest girl was eighteen and she took over the supervision of the extensive farm. She had a brick oven installed in the house and long after cooking stoves were introduced, she continued to use this, to her mind, more practical EAST PROVIDENCE 88 Q cooking device. Two of her sisters married the brothers Dexter and it was here that the name Dexter entered the family. From their house on the land where Waterman Street is now, they brought much of the furniture that is now in the Walker House. Miss Faith Shedd of the faculty of our school, is a direct descendant of this Walker family. Her grandfather was city engineer of Providence for many years. As a young man, her great, great grandfather walked from his home to Providence via the old covered Red Bridge every morning for a paper! There is a mystery in the Walker archives. On the farm, about two hun- dred and nfty years ago, a house ap- peared about one hundred yards from the main house. It is a huge white house with a spacious barn. To this day, there is no record of who built the house, or the exact year. Another very interesting feature of the house is the wellsweep outside. The well had Cthere is a cemented top nowj a wooden top and rises about three feet above the surface of the ground. About fifteen feet away is a long pole resting on the ground at a forty-ive degree angle. It has a bucket dangling from the end of a long rope. As the bucket is lowered the pole rises, and when the bucket is full, the weighted pole, lower- ing, pulls the bucket to the top. This interesting house has never been sold outside of the one family, and today, the members of the tenth gen- eration are living there! Anne H. Fontes '36 H units Mills Q Hunts Mills, as everyone in Rhode .filillgle 4' 7' Island knows is ,L-:fb 1 located on the Ten Mile River almost on the boundary line between this state and Massachusetts. Formerly it was in Rehoboth, later it became a part of Seekonk, and now East Prov- idence claims it. It takes its name from the Hunt family in whose hands the property was for a long time. At one time there were three mills in operation: the gristmill, a sawmill, and another mill used for different purposes at various times. The old gristmill was the best known as it was the first built and the last to go. Although the exact date of its erection is not known, the fact has been established that it was in existence during the seventeenth century. A deed dated March 9, 1697, on record at Taunton, mentions the gristmill and fulling mill, proving that they existed prior to this time. This deed is from Stephen Paine to Henry Sweeting. By another deed Henry Sweeting handed over the same property to John Hunt on May 1, 1713. The mill remained in the Hunt family for several gen- erations. On April 26, 1844, the tragedy in the history of the mill occurred. On that morning Allen Hunt went into the mill alone. Later in the day his body was found in the race, having come through the flume. The exact cause of his death will always remain shrouded in mystery. At this time Lemuel Brown was the miller and it I 0 5 Cu 1' A CE .89 E S T P R O V I D E N Y was during his time that Hunts Mills began to be known as a pleasure resort. For some years after the Civil War it was considered a fashionable place for an outing. General Burnside's well-known car- riage in charge of his colored coachman, Robert, was frequently seen there. One day an old minister came out with a young lady. They amused themselves by jumping from rock to rocks as others often did. At last, how- ever, they essayed a leap which proved too much for them and both fell into the water, and in the scramble, the min- ister lost his wig. His was a sad plight, and if he did not have a good sense of humor his state of mind must have been an unenviable one. Of course visitors would not go away without a visit to the old mill to watch the grinding of the corn as it went into the hopper and came pouring out in a rich golden stream of meal. Then the party must be weighed on the mill scales by the miller himself, with much laughing and joking. After that they would perhaps peer down into the depths of the flume and their faces would sober as the story of Allen Hunt's sad death was retold. Of all the people who visited Hunts Mills, the spot had most appeal for young and old in love. It was truly ft lover's paradise. After Brown's time there were one or two other millers and the mill was owned by Amos Smith, Jonathan Charles, and William Boyd, and the Rumford Chemical Works, which sold it to the East Providence fire district. The mill was torn down in 1893 and later the pumping station which stands there now was erected. Many of the old landmarks are gone Ja. I O 5 Cu but even today Hunts Mills is one of the most beautiful spots in East Prov- idence. William Macdonald '36 --ooo-l The Old Town Hall In Rumford This building was built . in 1814 for the Town of Seekonk. The sum of one hundred and twenty C , A dollars was given by the - T Newman Congregational Society towards the eX- pense of the building. This money was obtained from the sale of the materials in the old church. This town hall served the people for forty-eight years. It was first lo- cated where the library is now lo- cated on Pawtucket Avenue, but it was moved to its present location on Pawtucket Avenue in 1905. It housed the East Providence Free Public Library for a few years, and in 1835 it was the home of the Seekonk Classical Institute, the nearest thing to a school in this section at the time. When East Prov- idence was incorporated as a part of Rhode Island in 1862 this old building became the first town hall of the new town. When Governor Sprague be- stowed the name upon the town there was much celebration and the old cit- izens of Seekonk wondered why East Providence was so glad to be separated from Seekonk. But they felt that justice had been done when a few years later the floor caved in during a party and the people were sent into the cellar. Since 1902, this building has housed the Center Volunteer Hose Company, which repaired the building at a great cost. This company was at one time Qiii' , 90 i EAST PROVIDENCE an active fire-fighting company, but ,now its activities are confined to civic and social affairs. This building is also used by the Rumford Grange. Will1'am Smith '36 -loooi! King Phillip and East Providence King Phillip, chief of the Wam- panoags, had always been an aggressor. When in July, 1675, he was discovered crossing Seekonk Plain, the people of what is now East Providence anticipated trouble. The next day Noah Newman, son of the leader of East Providence, led an at- tack against Phillip. He and his band of townspeople soon put the Indians to flight, killing about thirty of their num- ber without any loss to themselves. Another attack was made on Sunday, March 26, 1676. Early in the morn- ing, Captain Michael Pierie of Scituate, Massachusetts, with sixty-three Eng- lishmen and twenty Cape Indians, marched from Seekonk Common in search of King Phillip. At Valley Falls they were ambushed by the Indians. When they had recovered from the sur- prise, they formed a ring and retreated, still fighting, until fifty-five Englishmen and ten Indians lay dead upon the field of battle. Two days later this disastrous battle was followed by another disheartening, though not so deadly, incident. King Phillip and his band of Indians entered the town of East Providence at night- fall and set fire to nearly every house in the town. By morning the whole Ring of the Town with the exception of two buildings was in ashes. The two houses remaining were The Gar- rison house, standing near the place later occupied by the Phanuel Bishop house, and a house on the south side of town. The former was not burned be- cause the Indians knew better than to attack such a strongly fortified building, while the latter was saved by a number of large black posts driven into the ground surrounding the house. From a distance, these posts looked like a guard of men. All the inhabitants of the village ex- cept one fled to the Garrison house and gained safety there. That one was Robert Beers, devout Irish brickmaker. He believed that if he was engaged in reading the Bible, he could not be harmed. He refused to leave his house in spite of warnings, and was reading the Scriptures, when an Indian appeared at the window, levelled his arrow, and shot. Beers fell forward on his face, the Bible still held tightly in his hands. His was the only death resulting from King Phillip's raid on the town of East Providence.

Through its activities, it is hoped that one will improve his vocabulary and manner of speaking. The debating season opened this year with our affirmative team, consisting of Betty Breaden and Belinda Taylor, defeating the Brown Freshmen on the subject Resolved: That the Several States Should Adopt a System of So- 'cialized Medicine, Debating activities were then suspended until the Rhode Island Interscholastic League was form- ed and the first debate was scheduled for April twenty-third. Because two of the four league members withdrew, the league was dissolved and our debates were postponed. The two teams now chosen were as follows: affirmative- Betty Breaden, Belinda Taylor, and NVilliam Ford, alternate. Negative- Elizabeth Colt, Phyllis Riley, and Esther Sweney, alternate. A new schedule was then arranged. The neg- ative team defeated Winthrop high on May fifteenth. On May twenty-first, the East Providence negative met New Bedford at New Bedford and our affirmative debated New Bedford here. The season will be concluded with a debate with Barrington, in which both teams will take part. Hr, 3 .. EAST PROVIDENCE 96 1 ,, School Play An enthusiastic audience found the school play, The Poor Nut, as per- formed by a large and versatile cast, hilarious entertainment. The play, which is a farce satirizing the popular applications of Freudian psychology on a college campus, has hardly a serious moment, and with Herbert Woodbury in the title role its success was assured. lt will be a long time before his class- mates forget the serio-comic facial eX- pressions and the mock-heroic gestures of the shy, awkward, gallant hero who drew their interest and sympathy and yet kept them laughing. Complicating Herbert's life and threatening to rival his collection of algae for first place in his affections were June Scarborough and Helen Waterman. Miss Scar- borough's natural charm characterized an interpretation that was all that an audience could desire of a leading lady, In the part of a sophisticated and captivating young lady, who won a beauty contest and troubled the hearts of Savage and Woodbury, Helen Water- man showed fine ability as an actress. Robert Savage who was the other prin- cipal, became a favorite with the audience at once and launched a shining reputation on the stage. Ashley Lewis and Arnold Monson were convincingly real college boys. Bennett O'Kane, John Maciel, and George Broadbent as track captain, trainer, and track coach gave the play a genuine athletic flavor.. Charles Viall created a character role in the part of a business man, and Robert Tennant's college professor was well Continued on page 113 EAST PROVIDENCE 97 Y Contest Play supporters of the they are many- have learned to expect artistic excellence in these productions, and once again the audience was not disappointed. This year the piece de resistance was a color- ful farce, The Moving Finger, in which characters, action, setting, and striking costumes combined to make the play spirited and vivid. There were no leads in the play. A king, a major, a captain, an outlaw, the landlord's daughter, her lover, the landlord, and three soldiers vied with each other in a taproom scene in the mythical land of Talevaria. Irving Hicks as an outlaw opened the act and provided as much entertainment as any- one in the play. Like a veteran on the boards, he never missed an opportunity to be entertaining, and his opportunities East Providence contest plays-and were exceptional. With the light, spirited manner that distinguishes act- ing in farce from acting in drama, John Martin and Athanasia Karras were most satisfying in the juvenile leads. Splen- dor entered with the king and the cap- tain and the major, and Robert Hall, Robert Savage, and John Hines were splendid. Exceptionally line acting was enchanted by dazzling uniforms and a display of military ceremony created by Frank Maciel, Lloyd Lagerquist, and Ralph Paparella who were soldiers that no one would treat lightly. In the part of a typical self-assured, middle-aged Talevarian landlord, John Maciel created a fine character, The play was characterized by a totality of effect for which actors, stage crew, and Miss Alden are to be con- gratulated. 98 EAST PROVIDENCE?-r 1 Radio Plays A new school activity came into be- ing this year when Mr. Oldham ar- ranged regular monthly broadcasts of radio sketches over radio station W. E, A. N. This feature is sponsored by the Egan Journal of Character Training and has been a regular Thursday after- noon program in which the East Prov- idence, Cranston, West Warwick, and 'Central Falls highs schools have par- ticipated. The programs for our high school have been under the direction of Miss Priscilla Alden, The material for presentation was determined by the Egan Journal which is sponsoring a National service of school radio pro- grams. A large number of our pupils has taken part, and the feature has met with considerable favor. Voices which listeners came to expect were those of John Hines, who played Uncle Dan in the entire series, Betty Breaden, Robert Savage, Robert Clark, John Benjaman, and Dorothy Usher. Following is a list of the narratives produced: Thanks- giving in Early Boston, Glimpses of the Life of Stephen Foster, An Episode from Treasure Island, Paul Revere's Ride, and The Star Spangled Banner. + EAST Pnovuoswcs ' 99 Faculty Play ' Ladies of the Jury , this year's faculty production is an hilariously funny court-room satire, simply chock- full of laughs. An attractive young widow is on trial for the murder of her husband. In spite of her protestations and the eloquence of her lawyer, the jury votes eleven to one for conviction. Mrs. Crane, the one voting for acquittal is a wealthy, ultramodern society woman, accustomed to dominating every sit- uation. As played by Miss Kelley, she succeeded in dominating every situation throughout the play. During the course of 124 ballots, lasting three days, dur- ing which the jury eats, sleeps, and fights locked up in the jury room, she man- ages by flattery, cajolery, and any other method suggesting itself to her, to bring about a iinal ballot for acquittal. e I CJ 5 6 ln the cast supporting Miss Kelley were Miss Enos, the emotional, appeal- ing prisoner, Mr. Mullervy, the lawyer for the defense: Mr. Merewether, the prozecuting attorney, Mr. Bates, the judge: Mr. Slater and Miss Kaplan, state witnesses, Mr. Shurtlelf, foreman of the jury: Miss Mulvey, a prim, intellectual reformer: Miss Cullen, an ex-chorus girl, slangy and hardboiledg Miss Mor- rissey, an attractive young girl just out of college: Miss Marsden, an Irish cookg Mr. Browning, an honest realtor, Mr. Farber, an automobile mechanic, also hard-boiled: Mr. Blackwell, an old Scotch gardener: Miss Smith, a southern clinging vine: Mr. Connors, a romantic, shy young poet: Mr. Good, the officer of the courtg Mr. Jameson, the clerk of the court: and Miss Hallen, Mrs. Crane's French maid.

I Q 5 cn W 103 EAST PROVIDEN'CE V The Orchestra The East Providence High School orchestra organization consists of ap- proximately thirty-five members. Due to the prolonged illness of our regular instructor and director, Miss Hope Smith, we have been unable to parti- cipate in the State Festival at Brown University or the New England High School Band and Orchestra contest which was held at Portland, Maine. this year. We consider it very unfort- unate that we were not able to attend. because we had hoped to change the dis- tinction of being one of the best to the best orchestra in the state. The full orchestra meets twice a week, on Tuesdays and Thursdays, Classes of orchestra, made up of a few pupils, meet during the week, at which time each member receives individual training. Our substitute director and instructor is Miss Mary Bischo. The orchestra is proud of the fact that we have the largest 'cello section of any school orchestra in the state and possibly in all New England, Other orchestras have only two or three 'cellos whereas we have six or seven 'cellos. Mae Hendrickson and Lillian Ring are our co-concertmasters. The only public appearance of the orchestra this year was that of a string ensemble, consisting of a few members of the orchestra, which played at the Faculty Play. The ensemble was made up of the following: Mae Hendrick- son, Marjorie Poulton, Helen Gray. first violinists: Irene DelRossi, Anna Eontes, Edna Higgins, 'cellistsg Althea Hall and Theresa DelRossi, second vio- linists: Elizabeth Chace and Helen Tucker, pianists. 0 5 6 104 i EAST PROVIDENCE Band According to a statement from a for- mer leader of the East Providence High School Band, this year's band has been the best the high school has had for quite some time. The success is due largely to the efforts of Mr. Stephen Farnum, the present leader. Mr. Far- num has worked diligently to train the players to be accomplished musicians. Most of the players have received instru- mental instruction from Mr. Farnum only. Their progress has shown the capability of the leader. During the past year the band has been very actively engaged in preparing for various appearances. The main oc- casions are as follows: in the spring of 1935 the band attended two contests, one at Rhode Island State College and the other at Newport. The band also played on a radio program as part of a weekly presentation by all Rhode Island high school bands. During the summer months, Mr. Farnum gave individual instructions to boys, one morning a week. The present band is composed of about thirty-five senior high school boys. The highlights of this season were the bandpconcert, given on May 13, I936, at which Frank Elsas, phe- nomenal twenty-one year old trumpeter of Goldman's Band, was guest artist, and the Rhode Island Tercentenary Festival at Brown Stadium on May 16. The band played on two occasions for the Barrington Grange and the Roger Williams Grange. It has also played for a few school assemblies, at all home football and basketball games, and at a few Parent-Teacher Association meet- ings. Several boys were chosen to go to Springfield to play in the All-New Eng- land Band which was organized this year. Next year's band will continue under the direction of Mr. Farnum and will number between iifty and sixty boys.

Of course the most riotous scene of the play was the track meet in which Lewis distinguished himself as a cheer- leader, and an audience cheered eight re- lay men. I John Benjamin and Robert Williams were oflicials. Bernice McLaughlin, Esther Stokes, and Helen Bates con- tributed youth and beauty and charm to several scenes. An able crew helped to make the production a success. Its members were William McNamara, Vernon White, Althea Hall, Edith Huntsman, Mary Huntsman, Robert McLaughlin, Edward Casey, Phyllis Riley, and Betty Breaden. -occl- GIRL 'RESERVES Continued from page 99 But in spite of this care she is cheerful and sunny. Three times a month we hold a meeting, And to each member extend a greeting. The praise we hear of our interclub party ls what one would call both loud and hearty. To the annual conference to represent Our organization, four members were sent. Our club enjoyed a week-end at camp And had lots of fun although it was damp. Under Miss Gilbert, our able guide, The number of members has so multi- plied That our club, in everyone's estimation, Has become an outstanding organ- ization. Dorothy Robinson CLASS PROPHECY Continued from page 69 MacDonald were doctors: June Scar- borough, Dot Nolan, Rita Morton, Edna Teeden, and Claire Lang were nurses. Billy Smith, Fenton Rodgers, Russell Greene, and Robert Francis were in the research laboratory of the hospi- tal. Anita Metivier, Ruth Reynolds, Ethel Johnson, Natalie Hanson, and Mar- jorie Koerner were directing a special food station in Riverside, as were Flor- ence Bassett, Isabel Norton, Mary Craw- ford, Marjorie Roberts, and Mary Cronin in Rumford. ' Those famous golf pros, Whittaker and Courtemanche, were marooned at Wannamoissett, where they had to re- main untilythe waters receded. A fire boat captained by Erle Fitz and his mates Norman Linden and Walter Mulvaney rescued the teachers who were stranded at a faculty meeting. Helen Bates, Eleanor Hebert, Alan Moore, Beatrice Luther, Margaret Fisher, Paul Carter, Harvey Dennis, Anne Fontes, Victor Bayha, Lucy Walter, Ralph Paparella, and Fletcher Warren were those rescued. Amongthose firemen who were very heroic in subduing the conilagrations during the aftermath were Eddie Casey, Henry Springer, Bobby McLaughlin, and Frank Maciel. Telephone repair men also were doing remarkable work. Jack Martin, Charles Beaubian, Louis Harry, and Wayne Doherty repaired the means of com- munication in record time. So we have seen how many members of the class of '36 gave splendid service to a stricken community. We hope that they will have much to do in the long slow work of reconstruction.

We opened our season on September 28 against the Alumni. The experience of the grad- uates proved to be the deciding factor, and we lost 7-2. Our league schedule was inaugurated on October 5 with an auspicious start as our boys romped to a 19-0 victory over Woonsocket at Woonsocket. The following Saturday we crossed the Seekonk to Hope Field and received a 26-14 defeat from a great Hope team. Our next two games were ties. On -October 19, a gala crowd filled Glenlyon Field and saw our boys hold a strong Pawtucket team to a 7-7 score. On the following Saturday, we battled Central to a scoreless deadlock in a sea of mud. On November 2, we won one of the best played games of the year from Cranston at Cranston, 7-6. Cranston missed a tie when Mulvaney blocked the kick which would have tied the score. We were handed a surprise defeat by Rogers on our home field the next week. The score of this upset was l3-7. A large attendance of 4,500 watched our annual Thanksgiving Day game with La Salle at Glenyon Field. Until the last period, the game was played on an even basis, but a blocked kick and a penalty gave the ball to La Salle on our one yard line from where the boys from Smith Hill crashed over for the only touchdown of the game. EAST PROVIDEN'CE 117 Y Hockey Although this season's hockey team was not as successful as some of our teams in the past, nevertheless it did not lack spirit and determination against stiff opposition. There were some fine battles and close contests. Only a few veterans were left from last year, the majority being new men. After the second game, Captain Dun- can was lost to the team because of ineligibility. The place left vacant by Pace, last year, in the nets, was very competently filled by Ken Johnson. Johnson was one of the outstanding goalies in the state, making the All- State third team, together with Sand- burg and Linden. Several other mem- bers received honorable mention. Lin- den was high scorer for this year's team. The letter men are: ' John Hines Kenneth Johnson Norman Linden Howard Perreault Raymond Bloomsted George Monahan Erle Fitz Terrence Reilly Eric Sandburg Russel Gardiner Fred Gillette EAST PROVIDENCE 118 , -0- . i. H Basketball The basketball team hadaa mediocre season, winningf: seven .and 'losing i nine games fon theclass 'A' schedule. The team Won the first of its four non-league games. This first game was with Warren and it was quite close. Our team lost to the Alumni by a score of 19 to 38, to Fitchburg by a score of 22 to 30, and to Woodrow Wilson High of Vkleehawken, N. J. by a score of 2l to 50. Probably the most spectacular of these non-league games was with Wil- son High. In this game the visitors showed uncanny ability and they ex- hibited a style of basketball not often seen in New England. More enthusiasm and interest was shown at this game than at any other. East Providence won the first four league games by defeating, in order, Cranston, De La Salle, Central, and iz-Pawtucket. After this show of strength, it-seemed'-that we surely would be in the play offs, or gain the pennant. The first league set-back was handed to us by a determined Hope outiit at the new Bryant Gymnasium. Hope had lost its four preceding games. Probably the most exciting league game was played with Central at our gymnasium. The visitors were leading by a score of 18 to 15 at the end ofthe third period. In the final period the Townies rallied and showed that they knew there was a basket on the floor. With the aid of Casey, Donahue, and Tracy we won the game by a score of 26 to 20. ' The outstanding players for the sea-e son were Donahue. Casey, Mulvaney, Tracy, and Paparella. Next year's captain is Jim Tracy. EAST PROVIDEN'CE 119 Y 1 Track East Providence High School was represented at only two track meets this indoor season. Both meets were all-stars, One was held at the Y. M. C. A., to start the season and the other was at the Auditorium, to finish the season. Our team placed fourth in both meets. In the Y meet, points were scored by Yeaw in the high jump, Vlfhite in the high jump and shotput, MacDonald in the shotput, and Stevens in the standing broad jump. In the Auditorium meet points were scored by lVlacDonald, Baptiste, and Yeaw. At the Auditorium, Russell Baptiste broke the state record for the 600 yard run. The old record was l minute 21 seconds, The new one is l minute l9 seconds. The outdoor season opened and things looked quite hopeful. Coaches Goodwin and Farber had a large num- ber of recruits from which to choose. Many of these recruits are sophomores and have two more years ahead of them in which to continue the good work they have accomplished this season. In a dual meet with Aldrich High, our team won by a score of 6726 to 315. This was the only dual meet held during the outdoor season. The number four seems to be pre- valent in the East Providence track re- cord. We have placed fourth in every state meet, both indoor and outdoor this year. Our running team made a fine show- ing in the running events of the state Continued on page 125 A I 0 5 6 120 EAST PROVIDENCE 1 Baseball This year under a new coaching regime, East Providence is looking for- ward to a successful season in baseball. Although our boys have won only one of their early season games, they have shown much spirit and will, no doubt, prove to be an obstacle in the paths of other high school teams. With eight veterans back from last year, led by Captain Mulvaney, Coach Frank Lally should have little trouble in presenting a fairly strong aggregation. In non-league games with La Salle, Cranston, Moses Brown, and Classical, our boys were not victorious but seemed to improve with each game. The league season opened on April 24 at Glenyon Field. Cranston staged a rally in the late innings to win ll-7. On May 5, with La Salle as our guests, we were treated to a well played ball game which our boys won in the ninth inning by a 3-2 score. With the experience already had, East Providence should go a long way in the lnterscholastic League pen- nant drive. The players who will probably play in the majority of games are E. Riley, catcher: Casey and Varnum, pitchers: Edmonds' first base: Mulvaney, second base: Nelen, third base: and Moreira, Tracy, and Oldham, in the outfield. EAST PROVIDENCE m Fencing , For the last six years Dr. Eric Stone has offered a trophy to the champion fencing team of the State. The schools participating in the contest for pos- session of the trophy were Classical, Hope, Central, East Providence, and Westerly. In order to obtain permanent possession of the trophy one team had to win the state championship three times. The first and second years it was won by East Providence and the third and fourth years it was won by Classical. East Providence won permanent pos- session of the trophy the fifth year by defeating Classical in the championship matches. The following year, 1935, Dr. Stone offered a new trophy under similar con- ditions. lt was won by Hope last year. This year East Providence won the trophy from the defending champion, Hope, in some very exciting matches. In order to meet Hope, East Prov- idence fenced Central, and Classical fenced Westerly. East Providence won by a score of 5-4 and Classical won by a score of 5-4. Later the same day East Providence defeated Classical by a score of 5-4. By winning this match we were given the chance to fence Hope, who as defending champion was given a bye. W In the match with Hope the East Providence team emerged the victor by a score of 6-3 and gained the trophy signifying State Championship. The last two championship teams have been coached by Charles Sherman, a former student of East Providence and a member of two championship teams. 122 Y. EAST PROVIDENCE Girls' Basketball During the past season a very in- teresting girls' basketball tournament was held in which all the classes par- ticipated. The games played were un- der the supervision of Miss Dorothy Walker and Mary Crawford who were coach and manager respectively. As a result of the games played, the Senior B's and the Junior Ks were opponents in the finals. During the first quarter of this game, Dorothy Usher and Rita McConaghy scored 5 points for the Seniors and for a while this had the Juniors very much wor- ried. However, the Juniors, because of the excellent playing of the for- wards, Jean I-lutson and Ruth Fiske, who are also Captain and Assistant Captain respectively, brought the score to 12-5 by the end of the first half. In the second half both sides fought hard. The Juniors were victorious, winning with a score of 20-7. The players on the winning team were as follows: Forwards-Jean I-lutson, Ruth Fiske: Guards-Alice Poyas, Ellen Diamond: Substitute Guard-Eleanor Stevens: Center and Side Center-Lois Davis, Irene Del- Rossi: Substitute Center-Mary .lane Vallone: Substitute Side Centers- Ella Childs, and Doris Howarth. 9 EAST PROVIDENCE Y 123 Girls' Athletic Association The Girls' Athletic Association is an organization for girls who are in- terested in the various sports. In order to obtain membership in the organ- ization, a girl must participate in at least one sport. The club has been a success under the supervision of Miss Kelley assisted by Miss Walker, and through the efforts of our capable president, Dorothy Usher, who has planned many good times for us. During the year many parties were held, one of which was a Christmas party. All the girls dressed as kiddies and each brought a gift. Miss Kelley acted as Santa Claus and distributed the gifts. At this party we also held our initiation for new members. An- other activity in which the girls were engaged was a skating party at York's pond. Here also, the club enjoyed the exercise and pleasure derived from the sport. During the basketball season an In- ter-class tournament was held which was won by the Junior I-YS. A num- ber of girls chose swimming as their sport, but as the weather was not favorable, this sport was discontinued, although we hope to resume it during the warmer weather. The ofhcers were as follows: Pres- ident, Dorothy Usher: Vice-President, Irene DelRossi, Secretary, Lois Davis, Treasurer, Mabel Boyd. The following were managers: Bas- ketball, Mary Crawfordg Baseball, Ruth Fiske: Swimming. Margaret Pool, Tennis, Mary Louise Mackinney. 124 EAST PROVIDENCE Y Golf With only one veteran, Captain Ray- mond Blomstedt, back from last year's championship team, Mr. Smith was compelled to build up a new team. Newcomers to this year's team are Mon- ahon, Wood, Prisco, and N. Beaubien. In early season matches, East Prov- idence continued on her winning way by defeating Rogers, St. Raphael, and De La Salle in turn. On April 23 our boys defeated Rogers by a convincing 13-5 score. The following week vic- tories were gained over St. Raphael, 9M to 8M and over De La Salle 15-3. If this brand of excellent golf is maintained during the remainder of the season, East Providence will no doubt finish out in front for another champ- ionship. ---ooo--- Tennis For the first time in many years, East Providence is to be represented by a tennis team. The school has entered the Interscholastic Tennis League and will vie with other high schools of the state for championship glory. A match with Central was indef- initely postponed because of inclement weather. The teams first match was played on April 30 against last year's championship Hope team, and the ex- perience of the champions proved to be the deciding factor. The score was Hope 5-East Providence O. The team is in charge of Mr. Ernest Goodwin of the Junior High School Faculty. Leading candidates are E. Maciel, A. Maciel, Lewis, Andrade, and Paparella. Wrestling ning team, East Providence succeeded in having three of her boys-A crowned state champions at the Brown Inter- scholastic Championships at Brown University on March 21. Seven East Providence wrestlers reached the semi- finals. The three championships were gained in the lightweight divisions. Silva won in the llO-pound class, Zucchi in the ll8-pound class, and Elint in the l26- pound class. In regular scheduled matches East Providence won over Country Day and Cranston and lost to Hope, Moses Brown, and Central. Other members of the team who did excellent work during the season were Pytlowana, Abajian, Trayes, and Kirby. --ooo-i Cross-Country This season East Providence was represented by one of the best cross- country teams in the history of the school. Led by O'Brien and Collins, this team finished a close second to La Salle in the State Championships and then went on to Newark, New Jersey, for the National Championships and missed New England honors by one place. In inter-school meets, the team won two contests and finished second in two triangular meets. Victories were gained over Burrillville 24-31, and Lockwood 15-40. It finished second to Cranston in a triangular meet in which Hope also I O 5 6 Although not represented by awinq., EAST PROVIDENCE 125 r participated. At the Cross-Country Carnival, running against La Salle and 'lVlosespBrown, our boys finished second to the state champions. At the State Championships, which were run over the Triggs Memorial Park Course, Collins finished second, O'Brien fourth, J. Perry eighth, and Baptiste tenth. At Newark, O'Brien finished thirtieth and J. Perry forty- second. Major letters were awarded to Bap- tiste, Collins, O'Brien, and J. Perry. Dickerson and Agren were given minor letters. ---ooo--1 TRACK Continued from page 119 meet at Kingston.

East Providence scored 19M points nosing LaSalle out of fourth place by a margin of one point. Again Baptiste almost shattered the state record for the half mile by win- ning this event, He missed the mark by one fifth of a second. The present record was set by Leary of Manchester High in 1935. In the meet at Brown Field, Baptiste broke the state record and set a new mark for the 880 yard run.
