Percy Hoyle and Philip Riley belong to the former. In the orchestra, Percy Dawson plays the cornet while Archie Goldshine, who has delighted many High School audiences with his solo playing, is the violinist. The class very much regrets the loss of one of its most popular members, Fred Allen, who has left school to go on the stage. Good luck to you, Fred! 1918 is not as yet an organized class. However, it has great expectations of success in the future and hopes to prove truly worthy of good old Everett High. CLASS OF 1919 The class of 1919 opened their innocent eyes on High School life last September with a membership of 426, a number slightly above the average. During the year, 76 have dropped out. We show a decrease, however, only in numbers, as our class spirit is still as strong as ever and our members have been well represented in the various activities of the school. Our first interest, of course, was in football, several members going out for the team, one of whom, George Sweetland, was successful in gaining the “E” so dear to Freshman hearts. In baseball we had two nines, the Technical and the Academic. The Lyceum, also, proved an attraction to thirteen of the members. In the Interclass Debate, three of the boys, Nathan Simonds, Lawrence Robertson, Captain, and Albert Everett, made a good showing both for the class and for themselves, although defeated by the Sophomores. Cheer up, Freshmen, three years more to make good. Four of our number, Harold Beck, Albert Everett, “Buckie” Sweetland, and Philip Cannell, have been members of the Boys’ Glee Club, which has entertained the school on several occasions. — v On the Clarion Staff we were represented by George Sweetland and Percy Chase, and on the Christmas Committee by the “husky” Freshman, Philip Canned. “ ’Nuf sed” for the boys. Let us turn our attention to the girls. In the Prize-Speaking Contest in March, Mildred Greenburg captured high honors by winning the girls’ first prize, a most unusual occurrence for a Freshman. Our one honor pupil for the year was also a girl, Gertrude Nickerson. We were represented in the Girls’ Glee Club by Vera Harrington. With this showing we feel that the Class of ’19 has a good reason to be proud of its members. In bidding farewell to the Seniors, we wish every one of them prosperity and success in every undertaking, and hope that we shad make as good Seniors when our turn comes. 13

criticism due, for their selections, during the year, have been most enjoyable to everyone. Now just a line or two more to wish to each and every member of the Senior class, great accomplishments and success in the unlimited field of opportunity which may greet them in the future. CLASS OF 1918 The class of 1918 is not a class of athletes. However, in “Olie” Johnson the class has a representative on the baseball squad to be proud of and one who, in the future, is bound to prove a wonderful asset to Everett High. This class has done exceptionally well on the rostra. In its Freshman year it was represented in the prize-speaking contest by Frederick Allen, Stuart Crippin, and Celia Fowler, the two former winning three of the four prizes. This year Allen won the audience prize in this contest. Besides Fred Allen the class entered Harold Brown, Philip Riley, and Alfred Grant, making two more contestants than were entered from any other class. Last year, Aurie Johnson, one of our prominent classmates, was a speaker of the winning team in the Boys’ and Girls’ debate, while Prescott Whittier served as alternate. Whittier also accepted for the school the gift of the class of 1915. This year, the sophomore class has had full as many, if not more, active members in the Lyceum than any other class. It has one officer in this society, Alfred Grant having been elected Clerk upon the resignation of Loring Creamer, ’17. In the joint debates held on May 5, this class was represented by three members, Alfred Grant, Aurie Johnson, and Philip Riley, the two latter being on the team that defeated Melrose. Riley was a committee of one for arrangements for the Everett-Melrose debate. The class of 1918 also holds the inter-class debating championship, having won both the preliminary debate with the Freshmen and the final debate with the Juniors. In the Boys’ and Girls’ debate this year the Sophomore class had mem¬ bers on both teams. Celia Fowler was captain of the winning girls’ team. Aurie Johnson served a second time on the boys’ team and Alfred Grant was alternate and had charge of the arrangements for the debate. But we must not forget the girls who have served their class and school in the Girls’ Glee Club. Our class has six members in this famous group of singers, namely, Mildred Dolbeare, Mildred Faught, Edith Hoyt, Alice Jackson, Dorothy Colton, and Dorothy Bixby. The class of 1918 is also represented in the two new organizations that have taken root this year, The Boys’ Glee Club and the High School Orchestra. 12

THE CLARION CHARLES DOWNS, Editor This year marked a new progress in the history of the Clarion. The maga¬ zine issue was introduced and proved popular, in fact so much so that it has been suggested that it appear only as a monthly. The editorial staff was headed by Charles Downs, assisted by Marion Henderson and Madeline Cannell as Exchange Editors. The Senior Class was represented by George Kumpel and Harriet Spicer; the Juniors by Esther Joel, Dora Perlstein, Gilbert Di Santo, and Paul Freeman; the Sophomores by Helen Ford and Fred Allen; and the Freshman by Percy Chase and George Sweetland. Sidney S. Listernick was advertising manager. The Clarion was issued thirty-six times and the subscription rate was the same as last year, fifty cents. The feature issues were the Christmas and Glee Club numbers. The retiring editor hopes that the magazine idea will be continued and that it will appear in that form once every month. The work of the printing has been carried on by Mr. E. S. Byrant, Everett High School, TO, and the school little appreciates the amount of time and energy he places in the shop in order that the school paper might be successful. It is sincerely hoped that the editorial staff for next year will be well organized and that the Juniors will con¬ sider it their duty to see that the paper is one of the best around Greater Boston.
