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. Sidney s. listernick, Adv. Manager 14

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

) 1 1 H The football season has closed, and, as you read this, the baseball season will be drawing to a close also. In the past year Everett has been very prominent in athletics. The football season began with a bang when we defeated Fitchburg 44 to 0. The next game, the Mechanic Arts game, was played on a nice juicy field. The game was featured by many “fall-away” slides and a spectacular 99-yard run by ‘‘Pike.” Rindge was rather a tough nut to crack. Everett beat Rindge more than is evident by the score, but were unfortunately robbed of their chances by penalties. Tilton, Wellesley, Manchester, and Malden were all easier vic¬ tories than Rindge. There was a certain sense of satisfaction in beating our old-time rival, Malden, so soundly. The game was all Everett’s from the very first, and continued so throughout. There was one regrettable feature in the game and that, the injury of Rowe, the Malden captain. Every Everett man was very sorry that the accident happened. The next in line was Medford. They gave us a hard game, but never had a chance to win in the entire game. They were the only team to score on Everett. Although it was only a drop-kick, and although they didn’t carry the ball over our goal line, they scored nevertheless and deserve the credit for it. In the Somerville game, our team was in very bad condition. Some had bad legs, others, bad ankles, and others had bad shoulders. In spite of this Everett won and was able to keep Somerville from getting dangerous. The second team beat Melrose 48 to 0 on Thanksgiving Day. The following Saturday Everett played Waltham, her much talked-of rival. Although we beat Waltham 6 to 0, it was somewhat disappointing from an Everett viewpoint. We should have beaten them by at least four touchdowns, but the team was still in a crippled condition. In spite of their crippled condition Everett beat the widely-her aided Waltham team. Then followed a week that none of us will ever forget. We went through a great deal of hard practice until Thursday, when we left for Detroit. Every man on the team certainly appreciated the rousing send-off that the students gave us. 15
