We are not quitting, leaving all we have At these diverging ways. For those who follow next to have and use: Then neither do we cancel memories The black steel stairway, long gray corridors, Of all the songs we ' ve sung, the prayers we ' ve prayed ; The thousand little corners that we ' ve seen; For they are ours, and hold the highest seat. For we have known them, not for what they Happy songs, earnest prayers. Cold steel, gray stone. ' ' ' ' gh, and mean it, as we go. Nor do we here disperse all thoughts of friends l-iughing, look the gruff world in the eye: To start again, pick new ones from the mob: r • , , For we ' ve a friend, another laugh to laugh, For we are friends — and can but laugh at l rne, j memory, another song to sing.

CLK PI5CSI[)ENT § ME§§AGC As the famous Walrus is alleged to have said, the time has come to talk of many things. The bell is about to ring which will close our last class at English High, and we are about to take our place beside the men of Honor and Achievement who have graduated be- fore us. But not one of us, I am sure, leaves these hallowed study halls without a feeling of sincere regret that relentless time has so quickly ended these four happy years. When I say that we are sincerely thankful to our Headmaster and to all the members of the faculty for the wise counsel and guidance given us throughout our stay, I feel that I voice the sentiment of the entire student body. Personally, I shall always be grateful to my fellow students for the trust and confidence which they have reposed in me as the president of the Class of 1938 of The English High School. It is my honest conviction that the Class of 1938 has established a splendid record of loyalty, co-operation, and class-spirit. The members have shown themselves ever ready and eager to further, encourage, and assist our plans for the advancement and betterment of the Class. It may be justly said that the members of the Class of 1938 have set a high standard of achievement for those, who in turn, shall follow them at this, Our English High . Frederick L. Linn (8)

BOSTON, 1948 (Associated Press) This generation ' s Men of Might have called for a recess. From every corner of the earth, from every sort of scene. The Sons of EngHsh homeward plow — in Cords and Limousines. Occasion: Tenth Reunion of the Class of Thirty Eight — And even now, the Men of Might begin to congregate. We see Dean H. Zeke Taylor here (white tie, slide-rule, and tails) And hear that still his little billets doux burn up the mails. Now here are famous commentators Hegarty and Epstein, Who know the Sport World inside out, back, forward, down, and upstein. And over there there ' s Blair and Calarese and Constantine And Corcoran and Wilshire (Chemist ' s Local 29). They ' re gathered ' round Professor DiPrancesco, who ' s expounding The mysteries of ferrocyanides and all surrounding. And here are Doctors Fishman, Morss, and Kells, who ' ve dropped their drills And picks and saws to be tonight with all the boys and gills. (Oh, yes, most of us have brought our wives j And there are super-salesmen Nyberg, Robinson, Frank Taylor. They ' re covered now with fame and dough, which they have made a whale a ' . And over there we see, about to give the gong a kick, His Jamminess, the Kink of Swink, the glamorous Bobrick. And, kids, this session ' s being broadcast throughout all the land Through Burgoyne ' s Station B-U-R-G. Gee, ain ' t Science swell! And here we see our learned friends, DeLuca, Crowley, Kane, Who ' ve won themselves, as lawyers bright, a wide and mighty fame. (Kane-fame-famc-Kane. ' ' ! ? oh well, none of us is perfect!) Now there ' s our Brother Eng, who ' s just designed a submarine That ' s made of lemon Jello and will go on just whipped cream. Now over here, with black cigars, the country ' s Big Biz men — There ' s Gesmer, Woll, and Willy Brown, and Johnny Rattigan. And not without their share of fame when it comes to black cigars Are Robinson, Abdelahad, Red Curry, Eddie Carr. And look behind those uniforms that hold the femmes agog — There ' s General D ' Ambrosio, the mitey Captain Fogg. Now here are two whose works are known from here to Bonnie Banks . They ' re artists of the highest stuff (and, kids, I do mean rank). One is the one and only Wong, the other, M. J. Horner (Though not the lad from Mother Goose, he loves to lurk in corners) And there ' s Bob Masterson, the card; he ' s trying out a joke. But, as in Record days, the answer ' s known before it ' s spoke. Right here we ' ve Coach Maloney (the world has heard his name) His boys bring home the orchids from every single game. And Phil Speigel ' s here foo. And Leon, Giannino, with us here, of course, tonight. Are trying still, in their own cute way, to set the public right. Right there are Brothers Kec and Sulkin, known in every nation
