CRIMSON and BLUE CLASS HISTORY 1921 UIl Freshman year showed that we had many talents, the first noticeable one being a penchant for mak¬ ing a great commotion. However, with a few weeks of High School life behind us, we learned that the proper time to use our voices was in oral composition. On the Christmas Committee, we had a very efficient representative in Bessie Lewis. About the only other red letter performance of that year was the “Freshman Night” perfor¬ mance of the 1918 Class. Play, which added many dollars to the fund of the local Red Cross. During our second year, we were more prominent than most Sopho¬ more classes. Kenneth Prescott helped pack the boxes, for the Christ¬ mas Committee. Frank Golden and Elmer Kerwin had charge of the War Work Campaign pledges. When Spring came, we furnished two of the mainstays of the baseball team, “Buckie” Sweetland at short and “Jimmie” Birtwell who twirled in a first class manner until injured. With the opening of school in our Junior year, thoughts turned to class organization and we elected for officers: President, Roger Sweet- land : vice-president, Frank Golden: secretary, Lillian Lounsbury; treas¬ urer. Harry McQueeney. Believing that “variety is the spice of life”, we elected a different member for the Christmas Commit¬ tee. Elmer Kerwin. For the first time, some of our members won their “E” in football, Sweetland, Hanson. Beck. Thacliei. and Winchester. And then came the blue-ribbon event of the year, the Junior Prom. Much of the credit for the success of the evening was due the chairman, Lillian Davies. Those who had the task of secur¬ ing speakers for the Monday morn¬ ing entertainments were Elmer Ker¬ win, John Connell, and Kenneth Prescott. Sweetland, Birtwell, and McCarren upheld the honor of the class on the diamond. During the year, four new clubs were organized, the Commercial, Chemistry, Radio, and Tech Clubs. Returning to school last fall, our first duty was to elect new officers, Roger Sweetland not returning to school, Joe Beck was. chosen skipper, Frank Golden, first mate; Dorothy Driscoll wields the pen; and Eve- lyne Patterson guards the treasury. The football team was composed almost entirely of Seniors, Eames., Beck, Thacher, Winchester, Hanson, Dolloff, McQueeney, Buzzell, Ander¬ son, Hiltz, and Harry, bearing the brunt of the battles. Frank Lewis was Student Manager. Still another gentleman was chos¬ en for the Christmas. Committee, and thanks to Ed. Hogan’s management and a large fund, we may throw bou¬ quets at ourselves, for, without doubt, more poor people were made happy at Christmas than ever before. Our Senior Dance, with George Buzzell as chairman, enriched the class treasury very greatly. This was the most notable event of tin Winter. The Tech Club also ran a well-patronized dance. Then a committee was elected to select a class play, Eugene Auld, chairman. We decided to present “Nothing but the Truth.” Tryouts were held later, the cast selected, and two well-attended performances were given. The committee for the Class Photographer, with Frank Lewis as chairman, recommended the Artcraft Studio. “Pete” Mc¬ Carren end Elwin Pierce were on the baseball squad.

CRIMSON and BLUE them after all and that they were no more nor less than ordinary human beings. Class, or rather Course rival¬ ry could not survive such a shock. In an obscure corner of the cemetery of Oblivion is a grave marked: Here lies The MISUNDERSTANDING between the courses of E. H. S. Anno Domini 1921 “Requiescat in pace” This jealousy and misunderstand¬ ing is now gone, but like John Bar- lycorn, its spirit still roams the land, or rather, th e school. So long as you, the present freshmen, sophomores, and juniors continue the work that ’21 has begun, Misunderstanding will rest in his grave and there will be harmony, peace, and understand¬ ing in the school. But give him a chance and out from his grave will pop Misunderstanding, ready armed for war. May Halpersohn. RELIEF WORK for 1920=21 TIRING the year 1920-21 E. H. S. has reached the climax of its relief work. The students and faculty have given liberally when¬ ever asked so that every drive that has. been introduced during the year has received staunch backing. Al¬ though the war has ended, much money is still needed for the main¬ tenance of life in many European and Asiatic nations. This year three drives have been inaugurated and successfully carried out. First there was the annual Christmas work for local relief. Then the Girls’ English Club collected money for the Hoover Fund. The third drive was that for the Near East or Armenian Relief. Annual Christmas ReFef Work A few weeks, before Christmas the boxes were distributed as usual to e ch room. When the money was all collected, it was found that $721.31 had been raised, more than had ever been obtained since this movement was started. The committee, elected by the stu¬ dent body, were Edward Hogan, chairman and senior representative; Chester Whiting, junior member; John Noonan, sophomore representa¬ tive ; and Edward Bond for the freshmen. Hoover Fund In February the Girls’ English Club started a drive the returns from which were to go as a subsciption to the Hoover Fund. The boxes used at Christmas time were placed in the rooms for collection of the money. O 11 Friday evening, February 11, in behalf of this drive and under the auspices of the Girls’ English Club. Dr Edward Plummer, Professor of Otology at Tufts Med ' cal School, gave an illustrated lecture on the sports of the ancients. At the end of this drive the English C’ub was aide to send a check of $160 to the Hoover Fund Headquarters. Near East Relief At one of the Monday mo rning lec¬ tures,, Dr. Bartlett of the Near E ' st Relief organization spoke of the ter¬ rible conditions in Armenia and asked that money be raised bv the pupils as a subscripfon from Ever¬ ett. Nachon Keljikian was e 1 ect°d chairman of the general committee with the following pupils as mem¬ bers:, Esther Wehner, Joseph Bock, Chester Whiting, and Dorothy Dris¬ coll. Besides this general committee a student was elected in each room to attend to the collections in his own room. Many novel ways were em- idoyed to induce giving. Money bags with Near East printed in largs blue letters on the side, placard with sl ts for the d ' fferent sized coins with the 1110 P 0 “Say it With Flour,” and pasteboard cartons with pictures of the deplorable conditions on the sides were used for collecting in the several rooms. Posters show¬ ing a table lined with hungry chil¬ dren were placed in conspicuous pl°cev in the corridors. One of the most notable features of this dr ve was the production for a second time of the Girls’ Glee Club musical com¬ edy “The Transformation of Jeanne” the proceeds of which wer e used to buy coupons from the New East R°- l ; ef committee. By this reproduc¬ tion the girls swelled the returns of tlm fund by $120. The ent’re n mount raised for this drive in High School was $480.80. Harland A. Carpenter.
