1920 ECHO 13 CLASS HISTORY IHE Class Ship 1920 is scheduled to leave port the latter part of June, but just a review of its pleasure excursions dur¬ ing the past year may not be out of place. With Roy Kelley as Captain, Joe Hughes, First Mate, Beatrice Sulli¬ van to keep the Ship’s Log, and Ruth Le Baron assisted by Ruth Connors in Purser’s position, we set sail. Headed by Pilot Beck, a crew con¬ sisting of Silvaggio, Kelley, Eames, Salvi, Porter, von Rosenvinge, Hiltz, Bazley, Hulsman, Alford, Masse, Harrington and Janscy, left the ship and set out for Gridiron Island. Al- tho Bobsy Sullivan at the fog horns cheered them up and altho they had warm blankets (presented by the decided to get first prizes, and the girls of the E. H. S. Fleet) still they judges decided Carl Wennerblad arrived a second too late to find the treasure of the island called “Championship.” In the saloon we had class meet¬ ings and were served with “Knox and Slamz” at intermission. Then one stormy night when the sea rolled, the Glee Club entertained us with “The American Girl.” At Christmas time Ed Hogan became t Santa Claus and distributed his gifts among the steerage. A special detective was engaged, as the Pur¬ ser’s desk had been swamped with the proceeds of the Senior Dance— Billy Beck deckman. A windy evening in March we had a Prize Speaking Contest. “Ted” von Rosenvinge and Lucile Hannum should have second prize. And as the May flowers bloomed, we saw “Green Stockings.” Misses Brown and Marshall supervised the wearing of the so-called stockings in true ship-shape. And then to guard our Diamond are Kelley, Hull, Porter, Silvaggio, Doucet, Reynolds, Malmgren, and Harris. The various clubs, too, have all done their part to make life aboard ship pleasant. Our ship has touched the rocks and reefs, but now as we are to sail upon the Broad Ocean of Life, the passengers of “1920” wish to those whose ship is not yet launched “BON VOYAGE.” Marian Mae Curley.

12 1920 ECHO voice. Prom a reflective contemplation of the scenery former Secretary of the Treasury, Leslie M. Shaw, glanced up with a familiar twinkle in his eye. “Do you know, Joe,” he commented, “I was thinking of these old battlefields we are passing. Did it ever occur to you that no monu¬ ments are ever erected to pleasure? No flowery road leads to glory The virtue lies in the struggle—always. Isn’t that an encouraging thought for young fellows starting out in life?” —Carl J. Wennerblad SCHOOL ALPHABET Dorothy Arnold, a blonde little lass, Has a high rank that few can surpass. William Mitchell Hawkins Beck Junior has a name he can’t reject. Marian Curley by nature and name By writing may some day win fame. The Dolloffs, both Urmah and Fred, Have on their heads bright crowns of red. Alfred Eames, football captain elect, Has put many chandeliers in a wreck. M,ay F ' otrslind, has always a scare, That out of place may be one little hair. Lillias Ginder, is so very prim, We can’t imagine her having a “him.” As for Lucile Hannum, can’t she talk? Can you imagine her lips in a lock? Annie O. Isenman, an ex-Maldenite, Is beginning to think Everett all right. William Janscy, a football lad, Thinks study for one’s health is bad. Le Roy Kelley, ah! here’s the boy, That fills feminine hearts with joy. When Ruth LeBaron rolls her eyes, Then you hear heart broken sighs. Clifton Marks isn’t very tall, But then prize packages are always small. Florence Nelson believes in persis¬ tence, Not following the line of least resis¬ tance. A cigarette you’ll surely see burn, Between the fingers of Robert O’Hearn. Frank Porter’s use of slang, Causes his teachers many a pang. Lillian Quimby is very precise, In fact she indulges in no form of vice. We hope von Rosenvinge’s little, bald spot, Won’t interfere with his line of thought. Herbert Splane prefers Philomaths, To Jove and Juno and their wraths. James Talbot’s very slick hair, For sliokness is beyond compare. As for U, as you like, do— Now if a striking lad you see, Albert Vanderhoof it surely must be. When Carl Wennerblad begins to orate, People take notice, for he’s first rate. X Y Z unknowns, we have not— For everyone shines in some little spot. Try This Gne Why is a bee-hive like a bad potato? Because a bee-hive is a bee-holder, a beholder is a spectator, and a specked ’tator is a bad potato.

14 1920 ECHO CLASS OF 1921 By M. K. E. S. D. H. E, the class of 1921, entered the High School our Fresh¬ man year with a resolution deep in mind, that of being the best or one of the best classes to go through High. When we entered in 1919 as the Junior Class we still held its school spirit and eager expectations. As the first step, we elected our of¬ ficers, Roger Sweetland, president; Frank Golden, vice president; Lillian Lounsbury, secretary; Harry Mc- Queeney, treasurer. Our football season opened with a biff and a bang, a crack and a slam with “Buckie”, Hanson, Beck, and Thacher. Thacher played substitut¬ ing half-back most of the time, Beck and Hanson both in lines as tackles. “Buckie” was the pride of the Junior class playing the big part in many games ma king interscholastic quarter¬ back. The great excitement came when we eagerly read on the boards, “Joint Class Meetings, all come! ! !” We were all assembled in the iMain Half at 7.30 and music soon filled the air. During % the intermission, all eagerly indulged in the ice cream while listening to the fine entertainment. Everyone in leaving remarked as to the good time they had enjoyed and were looking forward to the next meeting. We were well represented in the Lyceum debates by Dwight McMahon, Kenneth Prescott,. Harry McQueeney, Elmer Kerwin, Joseph Lobdell, Chester Hills, Harland Carpenter. Dwight McMahon was one of the principal debaters and a leading speaker in the debate with Salem. Harry McQueeney also being one of the best, having been scheduled to debate as Salem but owing to severe illness was prevented from doing so. There were a few clubs’ in this class, among them the Franklin Club—a club consisting of twelve boys who have very successfully given a dance at Whittier Hall and many parties, we hope that it will still continue next year. The other clubs are the Chem¬ istry Club, Commercial Club and the Nifty Nine. Our warblers in the Girls’ Glee Club were Alice Badger, Esther Wehner, Lois Large, Emily Steenson, Dorothy Driscoll, Doris Hubert and Ellen Lund- gren. In the Prize Speaking Contest Eliza¬ beth Isenman and Albert Morris rep¬ resented the Junior Class. The lights were gleaming—the mu¬ sic jazzing as the couples danced that memorable night in Whittier Hall at the Junior Prom. A committee was at first formed and the work was smoothly carried on. The music was furnished by Tournquist’s Orchestra. We also were very much entertained by a “little dancing friend of Buckie’s” who aroused much life in the audience. The matrons were Mrs. Sweetland, Mrs. Badger, Mrs. Davies and Miss Marshall. This dance was an over¬ whelming success and the best dance ever undertaken. In concluding we wish the Seniors every possible Suc¬ cess and Happiness. It’s all right for a man To be absent minded But his mind shouldn ' t overstay Its leave of absence.
