Sharp contests of football we’ve welcomed with pleasure, And bonfires of victory have burned on our field, Mass meetings and banquets are memories to treasure, In thoughts of our team-men who never would yield. How tuneful were dances ’mid soft lights and laughter! How slowly we lingered while farewells were made! Then headlights and starshine and moonlight came after; The high school grew dark but our happiness stayed. Our classrooms and lessons, ah, often we’ve faced them; We’ve studied great authors and struggled with math. Exams we have written and much we’ve erased them, Till now we are nearing the end of school’s path. Our teachers so fine have instilled us with knowledge Of nature, and history, and language, and such, And ready to enter in business or college, We’re thankful for leaders who’ve taught us so much. Blue skies and white clouds in the heavens remind us Of blue and white colors beloved of our school, We think with regret of the bright days behind us, And sigh for those hours spent beneath high school’s rule. . Like ships now we turn to strange seas we must charter, Our courage is buoyed by the thoughts of our past, Farewell, oh Fairhaven, revered Alma Mater! To port all successful you’ll bring us at last.

Helen Burns . “Ploddin’ Along.” Grace Knowlton . “I Got Rhythm.” Helen Williams . “Two Brown Eyes” Irving Wilde . “Just a Giggolo.” Raymond Spare . “King of Jazz.” Marion Busby . “You’re You.” Susanne Gidley . “Have a Little Faith In Me.” Eleanor Packard . “Bidin’ My Time.” Jerry Foley . “Laughing At Life.” Wesley Small . “What’s the Use.” Melvin Entin . “Ho Hum.” Albert DeForge . “Little Things in Life.” Antone Giante . “Deep Waters.” Edith Hammett . “I’d Like a Little Girl Like That.” Edwin Walsh . “Let’s Get Friendly.” Donald Bennett . “Sleepy Valley.” Edmund Andrews . “Little White Lies.” Robert Browne . “Smile, Darn You, Smile.” Harry Stubbs . “A Gay Caballero.” Virginia Pretlow . “Dinah.” Harvey Duxbury . “Hand Me Down My Walking Cane.” As we stroll from the English Class into Room 7, tuneful melodies swirl in our brains at the sight of such busy students as: Veronica Moss “I Don’t Mind Walking in the Rain.” Richard Belcher . “A Cheerful Little Earful.” Marion Forman . “Here Comes the Sun.” Adella Burrell . “Song of the Dawn.” James Hayes . “Sonny Boy.” Leona Kelley . “You’re Simply Delish.” (Concluded on page 49) 35 THE HUTTLESTONIAN CLASS PROPHETS � Thomas J. Foley, Jr. Raymond V. Spare 36 T HE HUTT L E S TONI AN Prophecy of the Class of 1931 Being two wealthy and confirmed bachelors whose traveling had taken us over many seas, it was only natural after a while that mari¬ time sights ceased to fascinate our minds. The girls had been a source of constant worry to us for fictitious stories had appeared frequently in the newspapers announcing our engagements et cetera. At length, thoroughly disgusted with the females and the tabloids in general, our cry was “To the hills or bust”. Those beautiful Cumberland hills, located in the heart of Kentucky were our choice — a spot where men were men and women didn’t count for anything either. After a brief trip in the “Flying Comet” we arrived at the Saund- er’s Hotel, a hostelry whose wholesome food and good service easily overbalanced the accustomed luxuries. The meals there brought back remembrances of our high school dishes. They had calories galore! Upon arising from the table, we decided to take a short walk in order that the inhabitant’s speech and the small gardens might be enjoyed. As we strolled from one curiosity to another, our hearts were enraptured by this crude but happy colony of mountaineers. Bachelors, unlike their married brothers, always have that fine opportunity of viewing Mother Nature and her subjects at will. Suddenly, drops of water were felt. Due to this nebulos con¬ dition of the atmosphere, we prognosticated that an alluvial precipitation was imminent. At the same instant our wandering pupils caught sight of the sign W. F. P. C. “hits” with Movietone. Impossible, we thought, for a village of this size would not have a theatre! Nevertheless, it was true, and when we had regained our senses we were able to read the weekly attraction, our faculties were plunged into a greater stupor. Upon re-establishing our equilibriums, we immediately bought two tickets, entered the amusement house, found two seats from which nails protruded at all angles, and sat down wishing we possessed a suit of armor. Finally the feature appeared on the screen, and as we know you ' re all waiting attentive and silent, kindly remember that great men must never be hurried. In a moment a magnificent spectacle had begun. It read, “Intimate Revelations of the Class of ’3 1 Photographer — Halbert Hougham Found Man —- Harry Stubbs 37 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N Master of Ceremonies — Frederick Sylvia Distributed by Wilde Flower Picture Corp., Irving C. Wilde, President. These four names greeted our eyes, and instantly this thought ran through our brains, “Trust those fellows to locate wherever beauties are numerous”. After a brief pause, that well known barking voice of Freddie Sylvia explained that the first scene would take us to Canton, Arkansas. A group of college buildings appeared, and as the camera brought us closer to the campus we were able to perceive the sign “BED¬ LAM SCHOOL FOR GIRLS” which hung on the arch over the en¬ trance. What an appropriate title, we thought, and then wondering needlessly who the ambitious principal was, our curiosities were satis¬ fied when we were shown into the head office. There our eyes feasted on Marion Busby and Veronica Moss deeply engrossed in conversation, and looking most efficient in stiff high collared uniforms. Over in the corner were Dorothy Stowell and Alice Cordex dressed less formally, pounding on typewriters. The first two we were told were the Head Mistresses and the latter two were their private secretaries. Thost girls certainly have changed their careers greatly! In the next room was another person — a man! Who was he? Why Antone Giante the linguist, Professor of Modern Languages! The real background for the ingenious school name next reached our ears in voluminous inten¬ sity. Out on the athletic field Barbara Chadbourne was instructing her young, but handsome protegees, in the finer rudiments of hockey. We were surely surprised, but the prominent voice of the silver screen relieved the tension when he added that married women were allowed to teach in Arkansas, and also that the Frig idaire business was booming. We were then transported to the water front of New Orleans. Immediately a large ocean liner caught our eyes, and there on the bridge of the ship was a man surveying the final loading of the craft. He was evidently the captain, for on his cuffs were four gold stripes—the symbol of supreme command. As he turned to look in our direction we saw that it was Swede Axtell. On seeing the camera man, Swede opened his mouth in amazement, and down dropped a dark object into the ocean! While we were wondering if his mother knew he chewed tobacco, who should come up upon the bridge but “Abner” Duxbury. His wireless emblem clearly showed him to be Chief Radio Operator, and then we remembered reading about his heroic work on the ill- fated “Nell of the West” which went down several months before. 38 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N However, it was through Abner’s tireless vigil at his set that the res¬ cuers were able to save all hands on board. Abner received his order and promptly took his leave. Just as Captain Axtell let out a bellowing command, in that lady-like voice of his, which blew out two tires on a machine parked on the dock, who should come up to the pilot house but Leif Erickson. Leif must be the quarter-master, we thought, for he quickly took his place behind the wheel. Final commands were given and this gigantic super structure, “President Roosevelt,’’ bound for Rio de Janeiro, started slowly down the river. As the ship set sail there was a general air of relief. Stevedores were regaining their lost energy and the inten sity of the noise decreased fifty per cent. A man appeared, mopping his forehead; a clay pipe was stuck between his teeth. It was Jimmy Hayes, Chief Foreman of the Wharf-fingers. His assistant was Nelson Howland. Nellie still had his agile and acrobatic ways, and Freddie said that this little fellow now had quite a way with the women. In the next scene we were given passage in an airplane which was headed over the Mississippi delta. With a sudden dive we were carried within a few hundred feet of the Green Shoals Light Station. Our guide explained that this was the home of Mr. and Mrs. Oren York. Mrs. York was formerly Miss Evelyn Milhench. How those Swedes do like the salty brine! (Landlubbers, this is not candy!) As we left this happy domicile the plane headed back to New Orleans for quite a gale had sprung up. White caps were present on the waves, and the small fishing boats were having difficulty in making port. The “Pres¬ ident Roosevelt” was met once again, and as the air craft circled the steamer, it was easy to see that many passengers were afraid that little something now had control of their constitutions. Everyone had a desperate grip on the lee rail. In this group we recognized those four in¬ separables from Mattapoisett, Mary and Gertrude Almy, Agnes Corey, and Edith Hammett. Poor things! Well, one of those travelers must be satisfied, for one is not able to contract dogwood poisoning at sea! “Salt Lake City will be our next stop”, quoth little Ferdy. Here, four out of five have it! We thought Westerners always had good teeth, but our devilish jester pulled a very fast one on us when he sup¬ plied the sentence, “Pyorrhea is extinct but it is no small wonder that Mrs. Wesley Small, the former Miss Eleanor Packard, has such a hectic life trying to keep an eye on her husband ”. Our eyes then read the sign WESLEY V. SMALL, HYDRAULIC ENGINEER. CONSUL- 39 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N TATION FREE. Inside this building was a busy office. Helen Greenhalgh and Margaret Goggin were industriously working on ac¬ counts. Such a place for these angelic girls! Over in one corner sat Edwin Walsh with his feet propped up on the desk. We were told that Eddie was Wesley’s assistant and that now his excellence in mathe¬ matics served him in good stead. That short staccato laugh was heard in the next room, and the camera then showed us “he” of the outward turned libido and the twinkling eyes. Guess someone must have told him a joke three hours ago! Across the street was a Navy Recruiting Station. There we saw the former Miss Lillian Bryant drying her hair while she reclined in an easy chair. All this was taking place in her back yard. A naval officer’s wife, you know, must always be beautiful. From Salt Lake City to Yukon Center, Alaska was quite a jump. Nevertheless, totem poles must be viewed. Anthony Goularte and Donald Bennett, Wholesalers and Retailers in Alaskan Totem Poles, were the big business men. They started the fad of having barbers sub¬ stitute these samples of ancient art in place of the customary red and white poles, and they made a fortune, according to our announcer. Alice Vincent was visiting her brother-in-law at the time, and Tony told us that she could always be counted on to make those Alaskan Indians spend an extra dollar or two, of their Saturday night pay, on the choice brand of Alaskan Red Flannels, which they sell as a sideline. A water scene next appeared. It was a race! Two boats were out in front — whaling dories — and the background looked like the New Bedford Municipal-Bathing Beach. Who were those two coxs¬ wains? Why, Red Bosworth and Walt Wlodyka of the Bosworth Cuttyhunk Sea Food Corporation and the Harbor View Fishermen’s Association. Once again those two organizations are rivals. If they are not fighting over supremacy in crew races then it is for quahog and bottled fish claims. It’s too bad that those nice men can’t eat together under the same roof without ordering a new set of crockery for future use. Mrs. George Stetson, the former Miss Leona Kelley, was seen on the judges’ boat cheering loudly with her deep bass voice. Labor Day is still a grand occasion in Southeastern Massachusetts. Baker, Baker Baker, Delicatessen Store, namely, Ralph, Harold, and Laura then appeared on the screen. This store was located on the Fairhaven-New Bedford bridge. Fred explained that Laura looked after the bakery while the others built up the fresh meat and grocery 40 THE HUTT L E S TONI AN business. Between this large market and the Buick agency we saw Adella Burrell and Virginia Pretlow pulling taffy. Their candy store was similar to that of Mildred Astin’s and Deborah McDougall’s. How¬ ever, soft drinks are sold at the latter. They have the concession to serve the members at the Herring Weir Tennis Club in Mattapoisett, to which town the scene now shifted. Sylvia’s Advertising Agency first met our glance. Imagine d oughy deeply enwrapped in this sort of work! His models for pictures were Mrs. McGowan, formerly Miss Grace Knowlton, Honora Moffett, and Margaret Davis. Freddie secretly explained that the first model’s hus¬ band was not entirely in agreement with the way that his wife was us¬ ing her spare time. Nevertheless, figures will always be in demand. Just ask Emily Bury and Gladys Peets, Toughy’s secretaries. Accounts would be useless without them. Marion Forman we saw next diligently working in the office of the “Mattapoisett Clarion’’. She is the home columnist. Mothers find their troubles greatly alleviated due to the helpfulness of this writer. Florence Wilson and Elizabeth Lopes easily showed us they were cap¬ able typists by their gum chewing, incessant chatter, and powdered noses. Mr. Sylvia next informed us that we were to view an exclusive re¬ production of the first television broadcast from the new million dollar studio in that sleepy town on the shores of Buzzards Bay — Ma tta¬ poisett. Mel Entin addressed the world in opening the political cam¬ paign of 1944. He was on the stump for the Honorable Richard Belcher, who was running for Mayor of Mattapoisett. Richard Belcher, much to our regret, had transferred his residence to that town. Leaving Mattapoisett, we were taken to the campus of Colby College in Maine. Coach Eddie Andrews was leading his men in three laps around the field. We were told that the former pupil was a rival of his teacher, Linn S. Wells, who was coach at Fairhaven High School from 1929 to 1931, and who has held the head coaching posit¬ ion at Bowdoin College, Maine, for many years. Freddie carried Us along with him to a visit on Broadway. We entered, with the camera as our guide, into Earl Carrol’s Theatre where Sally Worth, starring in the latest Broadway production, “April Fools are Born in March’’, stepped forward out of character, and in a few brief words explained to us that she owes her success to tutelage re¬ ceived while under Miss Siebert. 41 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N Out of the theater, and into the spotless kitchen of the New Waldorf Historia. Harold Weeks, a connoisseur of the culinary art, a chef! Monsieur Weeks explained to us in careful French how to pre¬ pare frog legs a la hop. The bright lights were on; we followed in their path to the most fashionable night club in New York — North Polar. Eleanor Stone, the delightful hostess, was assisted by Lester Texeira. Lester was a gigolo. Mr. Sylvia explained to us that Lester introduced gigolos in the United States. Miss Stone pointed out the cigarette girl whom we immediately recognized as Frances Peckham, and the check girl, with a wad of gum in her mouth, was Anne Burns. Alice Sylvia who crooned “Sugar Baby” received a large amount of applause after conclud¬ ing her number. After that demonstration the camera beat it, and so of course we followed. The next scene opened in Madison Square Garden, where we were entertained by Mr. John Plezia, Champion Cow Milker of the universe. Mr. Plezia informed us that he was able to supply one with any flavor upon a week’s notice. On the way into a beauty parlor on Fifth Avenue, the camera’s vision was blocked by a queer spectacle, an officer of the law and a pea¬ nut vendor trying to see which one could make the most noise. In a close-up we recognized the officer as A1 Plant, and the vendor of ye humble peanut as Raymond Hiller, once a great saxaphonist. Officer Plant finally lost the contest. His face became so hot from blowing his whistle that his whiskers caught on fire. Raymond’s voice rising in ever increasing crescendo and ably assisted by his peanut whistle, easily won the contest. In the beauty parlor we found, to our surprise, the former Miss Francis Brown in the chair undergoing an overhauling at the hands of Helen Williams. Freddie told us that Mrs. Pin Head (Miss Brown) was the wife of the safety pin manufacturer. Mademoiselle Williams also valued among her clientele, several business men who appeared every day for a manicure. Along fashionable Fifth Avenue we journeyed with ease until a sight met our eyes which we will remember for a long time. A huge sign rose above us — RIOUX ACCOUTER AND EMBELLISHER. All costumes worn in this picture were creations of Mr. Rioux, — prince of all dressmakers! 42 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N On the corner of Seventh Avenue and Thirty-Third Street the camera wavered for a moment and then came to a halt, focusing on the figure of Snooper DeForge. Mr. Albert James DeForge, Junior, was a super-sleuth in the employ of Merritt Huckins, Professor of Crimin¬ ology. Following closely upon the heels of Detective Sargent Snooper DeForge came the brains of the department — Susanne Gidley.. She had just discovered that Snooper was losing his footsteps. Professor Huckins was famed for his solution involving the disappearance of a million dollars from his own pocket. On her vacation, Miss Gidley was a motorcycle-cop in her home town. The smiling face of Robert Browne the drug store cowboy ap¬ peared. But alas! Before we were able to ascertain what had become of Mr. Browne the film went up in flames. History had repeated itself, for we remembered that while posing for a photographer many years ago, he had broken the camera. We learned that the film was burned beyond repair. The lights were turned on and we left the theater, sadder but wiser. Now that we have told you our little story, we hope that you will forgive us for this excuse for a prophecy, but it was only ecstasy, that precipitated such uncalled-for bizarre statements. If you wish to complain — telegraph, write, phone, radio, or wireless, but do not call in person. You will not be admitted over the threshold of our sanctums! Also, do not expect immediate replies, for although we are fast, we are slow when it comes to answering unkind letters. Wesley Small, ’31. Raymond V. Spare, ’31. 43 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N CLASS HISTORIANS Susanne Gidley Sally Worth 44 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N History of the Class of 1931 How dim and distant seems that sunny September day, when we, members of the class of 1931, entered Room 7 in Fairhaven High School for four years of study and good times. During our second month there, we elected class officers — Veronica Moss was our president, Marjorie Seymour, the vice-president, Gordon Eldred, secretary, and Craig Spangenberg, treasurer. During our first football season here, at the De La Salle game, two of our number were commended — “Two freshmen, Hayes and Bos- worth, started this game and gave promise of developing very well”. Ours was the first freshman class to enjoy an enlarged traffic sys¬ tem and the new club day scheme whereby every other Monday morn¬ ing, the first period was set aside for meetings of the various organ¬ izations. With cooler October days came initiation day — we girls created a great sensation in the classrooms, for our hair was one mass of tiny pigtails and vari-colored ribbons, our legs modestly encased in black cotton gym stockings, and name tags were pinned to our embarrassed backs. We felt more comfortable, though, as we sat down with bibs at lunch, when our masculine classmates were forced to march lockstep around the lunchroom. Literary talent was noticeable this year, for Evelyn Milhench and “Jerry” Loley took their places as advertising editors on the “Huttles- tonian” staff, while Marge Seymour’s and Susanne Gidley’s humble contributions were published on that magazine’s pages. The outstanding social event of our freshman year was our party —an undoubted success managed by Sally Worth as Chairman. Games, dancing, and refreshments were enjoyed under the eye of several faculty chaperones. Our sophomore year was rather uneventful except that we have the distinction of being 100% healthy according to Dr. Thompson’s examination. 1930 In 1930 the Class Officers were: Robert Browne — President. James Hayes, — Vice President. Susanne Gidley — Secretary. Merritt Huckins — Treasurer. 45 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N We were well represented on the staff of the “Huttlestonian” by Veronica Moss, Evelyn Sequira, Susanne Gidley, and Craig Spangen- berg, whose cheerful grin and bright humor are still remembered though he is way out in Michigan. Then there were sports. Chief among our football stars were: Tuffy Sylvia, Mel Entin, (Mattapoisett’s gifts to football), Johnny Plezia, Walt Wlodyka, Harry Stubbs, Red Bosworth, and Jimmy Hayes who captained our outfit in 1931. Eddie Andrews, Mel Entin, and Johnny Plezia made the Varsity Basketball team. The group of Sen¬ iors participating in track events were: Johnny “Nize Day” Plezia, Walt Wlodyka, Red Bosworth, Jimmy Hayes and Tuffy Sylvia. They have done much to make our track team one of which we are justly proud. Our one soiree was the Junior Prom or the “Bohemian Fantasy” as it was also known. This was both a social and a financial success. It also gave us the experience in running dances which has been such an asset this year. The Student Council members were: Fran Brown, Suzanne Gid¬ ley, Wesley Small, Merritt Huckins, and Marion Forman. The close of the Junior year was welcomed, though rather re¬ luctantly. 1931 After our long vacation, we came trooping back — all tanned and eager to begin our “Big Year”. The class was led by: Johnny Plezia — President. Jimmy Hayes — Vice President. Jerry Foley — Secretary. Merritt Huckins — Treasurer. The Senior members of the Student Council were: Gracie Knowl- ton, Anne Burns, Lillian Bryant, Fran Brown, Sally Worth, Eddie Andrews, Richard Belcher, and Merritt Huckins, who was also President of the Council. Gradually the days became cooler. The boys soon donned their sweat shirts and shoulder pads. Every sunny afternoon they prac¬ tised football, gradually getting into such perfect form that on Novem¬ ber 1 in the Big Game, our boys downed New Bedford, our friendly (?) rivals, 18-6. Whatta game! ! We turned in a clean schedule at the end of the season — 8 victories and 1 defeat, that from Boston College High School. 46 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N The Traffic Squad, captained by Merritt Huckins, was large and successful. “Faster, please , and “Stop talking” have become the hor¬ ror of the undergraduates. In the Honor Society we find the brilliance of the class, for Suzanne Gidley is President, with Veronica Moss as Vice-President, Antone Giante, Secretary; and Wesley Small, Treasurer. Other Senior mem¬ bers are Dorothy Stowell and Marion Busby. The Debating Club sponsored a dance, something which has never been attempted in the past or shall be in the future, ’tis said. It was a financial, if not a social success! The members of the dance com¬ mittee were: Anne Burns, Chairman; Lillian Bryant, Frances Peckham, Sally Worth, Jerry Foley, and Richard Belcher, who is the Club Pres¬ ident. Finally came the Senior Play so dear to the hearts of the Seniors. It was soon announced that Wesley Small was to have the title role with Helen Williams to play opposite him. Other members of the cast were: “Barb” Chadbourne, El Stone, Fran Brown, Sally Worth, Jerry Foley, Merritt Huckins, Irving Wilde, Harvey Duxbury, Dick Belcher, Albert DeForge, Jr., Ray Spare, Mel Entin, Moody Axtell, A1 Plant, Raymond Rioux, Halbert Hougham, and Robert Browne. Just before the play there were rumors that unless we made money on this “big job”; our banquet would be held at the Waldorf! Equal to the occasion as always, the class as a whole scurried around and as a result, the house was sold out. After the play there was a party at the Tabitha Inn for members of the cast and their guests. Miss Siebert was presented with a gold-piece in appreciation for her invaluable help with the production. Everyone had such an enjoyable time that it was 2:00 A. M. before going home was even thought of. In February, the Student Council sponsored the Brown University Glee Club Concert which was a very enjoyable affair. In March the Harvard Club of New Bedford brought the Harvard Musical Clubs to Fairhaven for the benefit of the Scholarship Loan Fund. This Spring, for the first time, Fairhaven entered into the Oratori¬ cal Contest which is under the auspices of the New Bedford Times. In fact, we were so well represented that Dick Belcher walked away with the district championship and a fancy bronze medal. Good work, Dick! And while we’re speaking of celebrities, we musn’t forget Eddie Andrews who was alternate of the Massachusetts State tennis finals. We understand that Eddie is also a great ping-pong player! 47 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N The Senior Dance Committee of which Fran Brown, Margaret Goggin, Gracie Knowlton, Lester Teixieria and Irving Wilde are mem¬ bers, deserve a rising vote of thanks for the excellent manner in which they have conducted past dances. In April, the Banquet Committee was chosen (now that the Wal¬ dorf was not our fate) being made up of Leona Kelly, Lillian Bryant, Ray Spare, and Dick Belcher. They have decided with the aid of Mr. Dickey, that the banquet will be held, as usual, at the New Bedford Hotel. On April 13th Susanne Gidley and Sally Worth were chosen Class Historians while Jerry Foley and Ray Spare are the Class Prophets. 48 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N (Concluded from page 35) Giggling, whispering, throwing notes, or gazing soulfully at that famous be-cherubed ceiling in that haunt of frightened freshmen are these scintillating personalities: Anne Burns . “Turn On the Heat. Helen Greenhalgh . “I Miss a Little Miss. Merritt Huckins . “Somebod y Stole My Gal. Alice Sylvia “Please Don’t Talk About Me When I’m Gone. Frederick Sylvia . “I’m Tickled Pink With A Blue-Eyed Baby. Sally Worth . “You’re Driving Me Crazy. John Plezia . “Where the Shy Little Violets Grow. And now, as everyone returns to his home room, and delicious odors drift up from the lunchroom, the music grows soft in the dist¬ ance . . . the concert is over. 49 THE HUTT L E S TONIAN HERO AND HEROINE OF THE SENIOR PLAY Helen S. Williams Wesley V. Small 50 THE HUTT L E S TONI AN Impressions of The Poor Nut” BY THE POOR NUT On the evening of March sixth, the senior class presented the three- act comedy, “The Poor Nut” written by J. C. Nugent and Elliot Nu¬ gent. The large cast arrived early in order that all might have their make-up put on in time. I, for one, was bothered by the lipstick, most of which I had licked off and consumed before the end of the first act. When the curtain rose, Harvey Duxbury, the gruff old Colonel Small, proprietor of The University Bookstore, greeted, in his dom¬ ineering way, Miss Helen Williams, who took the part of Marjorie Blake. My cue came, and I arrived on the scene with a little nervousness which, however, immediately left me, not to return. Margie Blake, sweetly dispositioned and understanding, soon saw how shy and in¬ ferior feeling John Miller was.. I played as John, the young botany student at Ohio State University. From the wings I watched the admirable and whole-hearted act¬ ing of Miss Williams and of Miss Barbara Chadbourne, the forceful and beautiful Julia Winters, Margie’s friend. Then came Spike Hoyt, the aggressive Wisconsin athlete whose part was extremely well played by Irving Wilde. Later, Jerry Foley in the character of Magpie Welsh and Albert DeForge in that of Hub Smith, two happy-go-lucky wise¬ cracking collegians, breezed in, and very airily enveigled the unobtru¬ sive John into a one-sided bargain involving a quantity of rather shadily acquired books. Conversation was interrupted by Raymond Spare, the hard-boiled Coach Jackson, and Richard Belcher who was Wallie Pierce, the good- looking Ohio State athlete. Alone with Margie, John disclosed to her that he coveted the honors of a Psi Sigma man. But a mortifying accident with noodle soup, in the presence of Spike Hoyt at a certain dinner at the Psi Sigma house, had so affected him that he had ever since felt very sensitive and humiliated. He also admitted that he had corresponded with Julia Winters, whose picture as a beauty prize winner, was in the newspapers. When Julia saw the real John she was amazed at his appearance and disgusted, but when he was forced to run in the relay and quarter mile in the next day’s race, her attitude changed. She analyzed his psychic being, and tried to show him how to be rid of his inferiority complex. 51 ■ THE HUTTLESTONIAN As a climax, she promised to marry him if he beat Spike, who had been her beau in the race. Poor John tried to feign happiness, but Margie plainly showed her disappointment. The next day in the trainer’s tent, John was whipped into deter¬ mination to win the race by Coach Jackson’s tongue-lashing, and was further helped by Margie’s sympathy. Melvin Entin played very well as Doc Spurney, the trainer, although he had been rehearsing but a week. By John’s unexpected burst of speed, the relay race and meet were won for Ohio State. Then he was both physically and mentally over¬ come at the full realization of Julia’s promise. Harvey Duxbury played a good second part as the starter in the race scene. The scene was well acted with the help of Robert Browne, Halbert Hougham, Albert Plante, Moody Axtell, and Raymond Rioux, who were Ohio and Wisconsin runners. That evening at the Psi Sigma house, Julia announced that she and John were to be married at midnight. But after a time, John came to the point of defying everyone who had tried to standardize him With the words, “I’m inferior, and dawgonnit, Pm going to be inferior whether it’s immoral or not”! he marched out triumphantly to marry Margie. In this act, Sally Worth, Eleanor Stone, and Frances Browne en¬ livened the scene to a great extent. The play was made a success only through the untiring directing and patience of Miss Siebert, and through the help of the willing assist¬ ant staff of class members. Everyone will agree, I am sure, that “The Poor Nut” contained many a laugh, and that it was enjoyed by a most appreciative audience.

The historic city of Alexandria, Virginia, situated eight miles from Washington, contains many famous buildings and is filled with stories of the past and present. This odd, quaint city is pervaded with an air of romance; its houses, dating back to Colonial times, fire the imagination with pictures of diplomats and fine ladies; its unique, old- fashioned streets beckon the adventurous to follow their courses and explore their twistings and turnings. Among the more noted buildings such as Christ’s Church and the renowned Carlyle and Marshall Houses, is Gadsby’s Tavern, in the early nineteenth century accounted the fore¬ most hostelry in America. Here was enacted the short, yet tragic and mysterious drama of the “Female Stranger.” On December 29, 1812, Theodosia Burr Alston set sail on the schooner “Patriot”, bound from Charleston to New York. She was the daughter of Aaron Burr, at that time in public disfavor, and she was broken in health and spirit by the shame he had brought upon his family. Before her marriage she had graced the social circles of Wash¬ ington and Philadelphia, and afterward had dominated the society of Charleston. She was brilliant, beautiful and talented. For weeks, news of the schooner was anxiously awaited, but there ensued only suspense and silence. No authentic word ever re¬ vealed her fate. Did she founder? Was she blown out to sea? Or, more to be dreaded, had she been attacked and scuttled by pirates? There was at that time an especially savage band of these sea rovers under Jean Lafitte, whose stronghold was in the islands at the mouth of the Mississippi. When word of the disaster reached the United States, it was surmised that the beautiful Theodosia had been carried south, by pirates, to the Caribbean, and for many years hope for her ultimate return persisted. This hope had grown dim by September, 1816, and a newer mystery intrigued the South—that of a lovely incognito who had ar¬ rived in Alexandria—a heavily-veiled lady who came ashore from a packet with a male companion. They went directly to Gadsby’s Tav¬ ern and there took rooms without divulging their identity. The lady did not lift her veil; the man did not tell their names. There they remained for nearly a month, concealed well from the eyes and gossip of Alexandria—one of them never to reappear alive! 19 THE HUTTLESTONIAN Despits the skill of a local physician who never saw her face, the mysterious stranger died with no one the wiser as to whom she really was. She was given burial in St. Paul’s cemetery and on her tombstone appears this epitaph: To the memory of a Female Stranger Whose Mortal Sufferings Terminated on the 11th Day of October, 1816 Aged 25 years, 8 months. For some years a sum was received annually by St. Paul’s for the upkeep of the plot. The accepted story is that Theodosia, her sorely-tried reason wrecked by fright and terror, had lived on some tropic isle, a pirate ' s captive. At length she realized her predicament, and she determined to return to her country. It is assumed that the long journey brought on the illness which caused her sudden debarkation at the Virginia City. This romance, unsupported by even the slimmest clue, is fed by fancy and rumor and still clings to the scene of the stranger’s veiled entry and her melancholy departure. Theodosia’s age would have been thirty-three, not twenty-five. But if it is not she, who does lie in the nameless grave at St. Paul’s and where rests the lost daughter of Aaron Burr? Anne Clark, ’32. 20 THE H.U TTLE S T ON I AN Sir Jolly Roger Rum Out on the shining shimmering sea Jolly Roger Rum did shout with glee For had he not this very day Put bullion in his hold, to stay Aye! stay it did, but alas, alack Sir Jolly Roger ne ' er got it back. One day a wind came from the south Which closed for e’er Jolly Roger’s mouth It blew the waves, until they bossed Sir Roger’s boat which pitched and tossed, On to the north the gale blew hard And tossed his ship just like a card. The helmsman steered he knew not where So long as Safety met them there But Safety protected more than these Who were at the mercy of the rolling seas And they sailed on, and nearly won But with land in sight eternity did come. The helmsman saw a rock loom high And tried to get the old ship by But a gust of wind and one huge wave Carried the boat, and there, the brave Jolly Roger Rum did make his grave That bold, bad villain, blackguard, knave. And then the ship, of the pirate bold Was left on the rock to break and mould The bullion still as said before Is in the hold, for evermore And under it with bones so numb Lies the skeleton of Roger Rum. Ricordo Holt, ’36. 21 The Junior High School Few realize what a great asset the new addition to the High School is to our town. Some taxpayers have the idea that it is a fool¬ ish waste of money. But the pupils in both schools could, I am sure, easily overcome this opinion. Let us see what points would be brought out to emphasize the usefulness of our new Junior High. First, there is the convenience of its situation. It is accessible to pupils in both the north and south of Fairhaven. Next we might mention the large and beautiful auditorium the school contains. Its stage is very roomy and the seats are numerous. It will be more desirous for certain occasions than the Town Hall. Then let us notice the improvements in the typewriting, printing, and drawing departments. These are very evident when the new quart¬ ers are compared with the crowded and uncomfortable rooms formerly occupied in the High School. With these facts before us, young Fairhaven is indeed fortunate in having a Junior High School. Helen Sheard, ’33. Fairhaven High School’s Contribution Fairhaven, though a small town, has its unemployed and needy. Fairhaven High School is doing all in its power to aid these unfortunates. In the first place, it is giving ten per cent of its gate receipts of every football game to the poor; ten per cent of the profit on all dances, and parties, et cetera. The erecting of an addition to the High School was also a wonderful help to those men who arc out of work and in need of funds to feed and clothe their families. And we are sure that if there is any other way in which we can aid the unemployment situation, in Fairhaven or elsewhere, Fairhaven High School will find that way. Jack Leonard, ’33. 22 THE HUTTLESTONI AN Thoughts about Edison Sitting by the radio, listening to my favorite program, I was start¬ led and somewhat annoyed to hear a pause in the midst of it. Won¬ dering, I listened, and it wasn’t long before the voice of the announcer came across the air with the news of Thomas A. Edison’s death. I thought it odd that such a good program should be halted to announce the passing of the aged inventor, but then, after more careful concen¬ tration, I realized the foolishness of such a thought. One after another his numerous contributions to the comfort of humanity flashed across my mind. His greatest tribute, the electric lamp, came first. Without it, the radio program to which I had been listening so earnestly, would have been impossible. The comfortable chair in which I was sitting also was an indirect product of his labors, as, without the aid of electric lighting, it would have been much inferior and not perfected to so high a degree. The newspaper that I was looking at contained an advertisement for a current movie. Had it not been for Edison’s diligent research, moving pictures would probably never have been discovered. My glance then fell on our family phonograph. Dusty, unpol¬ ished, it stood there in the corner, a mute reminder of the good times we had enjoyed with it before the advent of radio. Again, that im¬ mortal name loomed before me. Hadn’t Edison invented the fore¬ runner of the modern radio, which is fast becoming extinct? Directly above the radio, there was a framed portrait, a summer scene. In this picture were clouds, clover, golden rod, and other typical country fol¬ iage. What earthly connection could there be between that and Edison? Then, in a flash, it dawned upon me. Had he not spent the last years of his wonderful life in search of a substitute for rubber through gold¬ en-rod? True, he had not accomplished this, but it was mostly thru his tireless efforts and computations that eventually success was obtained. Edison was responsible for many more inventions, all useful, but the aforementioned stand more conspicuously than the rest. It is but just to say that in losing him, America has lost one of her greatest sons; and the world, her greatest benefactor.

The game, as played today, demands a superior type of fellow who can think and execute at the same time. It was the saying of coaches in days gone by that the dumber a person was in school subjects the better player he’d be on the gridiron. In those days a player wasn’t supposed to think; the coach was hired for that. Football has been developed to such a degree by Knute Rockne that it is now played from the shoulders up. In place of the by-gone star comes a greater star, who not only shines on the gridiron but also in his classes. The luminites of today are smaller but shiftier, smarter and faster. Now they play heads up football, made possible by con¬ centrated study in the class room which developed their brain and made it possible for them to think. A player also has to think while on de¬ fense because of the many trick plays used on him. Without the ability to think a boy might just as well hang his suit up on a nail and quit; because he will never go any farther than he is now on the gridiron. John Broadland, ’32 The New Cover Design The new cover design on our Huttlestonian is worthy of mention. There were many competitors on this project in the art class, and ideas were numerous. John Plant, who worked hard and willingly on a cover, submitted a modernistic design which was chosen as “the one.” The design is more than artistic; it is representative. The large central figure personifies business and industry. In the foreground, the model of the High School, and in the background the gray tower, sym¬ bolizes knowledge. These two when taken together become a reflection of knowledge upon business and industry of today. The editorial staff, appreciates the time and effort expended on this under taking, and congratulates Mr. Plant. Ellen Jennings, ’32. 24 ATHLETICS The Fairhaven Spirit It has been said that man is a rational animal. The observation seems to be that he is influenced more by his emotions than by his mind. Opinion tends that emotions of the right are very important factors in the lives of young men, and decidedly influence their success. In any school where gloom, pessimism, skepticism, despair, hatred, swelled-headedness, egotism and other negative emotions are given free reign, the spirit cannot be wholesome. The unhealthy results of such an environment are reflected in its athletic teams, though there is no doubt that such an atmosphere has a decidedly deterring effect on the work of every student in the school. When we speak of “Fairhaven Spirit” what do we mean? To one who has had contact with it or has been under its influence, it will never be forgotten. Joy, hope, enthusiasm, normal confidence, faith, and the willing ecstacy of duty done well and fairly, are ever present around our School. These are reflected more in athletic contests, be¬ cause of their nature, than in any other activity. The School is confident of its teams—it is behind its team to a man—every student fights just as hard as any member of the team. Yet they are courteous to visitors, and every student takes it upon himself to treat a visiting athlete just as though he were a guest in his own home. That most base emotion — hatred — does not enter into our athletic contests. Instead, the spirit is one of exhilaration in joy of a contest well fought between men. If we win we brag a little, but not much. If we lose we buck up and shut up, principally the latter. A Fairhaven man may be down but he is never out, and that spirit of hope and determination to succeed is typical of F. H. S. You will find it present to some degree in every man who has been fortnate enough to attend our School or has played on our teams. We can keep this if you will do your bit. Coach. 25 THE HUTTLESTONIAN Hockey in the Future Formerly Fairhaven High School always turned out four good hockey teams and there was much keen competition between them. This year, however, there are many changes not only in the teams but in the field itself. Instead of the northern field, where last year at this time there could be found many girls learning the fundamentals of hockey, there is a building which is known as the high school addition. Due to the fact that the Freshmen, who are in the addition, have not started gym yet, this year there are but three hockey teams to compete for the class championship. This gives the upper classes an advantage, for without the Freshmen they have much more time to spend on brushing up on the rules of the game. Since the origin of hockey at Fairhaven High, this is the first year that there has not been a Freshman hockey team. When school started in September, it was thought that the girls would have hockey only in their gym classes. Later, Coach Dunn kindly offered to let the girls have the football field one afternoon a week, to be devoted to hockey. This, of course, greatly limits the time for practice which the girls previously have been accustomed to- having. However, they seize every opportunity for bettering their game, and when the football team has secret practice, the girls have a chance to use the field. Because of the late start in hockey this year, each class will play two or three games at the most and these inter-class games are played on Friday afternoons. Often a group of girls may be found on the west bleachers watching football practice, and who knows but next year there will be girl’s football teams instead of hockey teams. If this should happen, there would probably be many out for it.

Ce visiteur est un petit chien qui s’appelle “Pat.” II donne au monde beaucoup d’experiences excitantes. Ce chien aime tant l’ecole, qu’il veut venir apres que tout le monde est couchc. Un soir bien tard, Madame Lawton, qui demeure en haut dans l’ecole arrive a la maison du theatre, pour trouver un petit chien, qui l’attendait Elle fait de son mieux pour le garder en dehors. Mais comme ce chien-ci est tres petit, il vint a entrer. II court dans l’ecole, ou il fait si noir, que Madame Lawton ne peut pas le trouver. Elle appelle son mari, qui etait couche.

EUSTACE PROCRASTINATION AND SIR JOHN ACCURACY PLUS SPEED Resolved : That lost movement while typewriting is a handicap to speed and accuracy. The affirmative will be upheld by Sir John Accuracy plus Speed of Sukcess Institute, the negative by Prof. Eustace Procrastination of Faylure College. Sir John speaks: “People of the business world, associates, judges, and spectators, I am here today to prove to you that lost movement while typewriting is a handicap to speed and accuracy. “How often we see our secretaries and stenographers, in our offices and other business men’s offices, all over the world waste hours of prec¬ ious time — for that is what it amounts to in the course of days, months, and years — in throwing over the carriage on their machines. The best known lost movement is in putting in the papers and taking them out of the machines, and nine times out of ten having to remove the papers again, especially in the case of putting them in again. Some¬ times I wonder if, when at home, my stenographers do everything as slowly, wastefully, and deliberately. “How it “grates” me to see my secretary manipulate her marginal stops for minutes at a time to get, needlessly more often than not, one hundredth of an inch further in on her margins. Let me give you an estimate of the time I have seen a stenographer take: Inserting paper—one minute. Marginal stops—one minute and a half. Tabular keys—one half minute. Miscellaneous spacing—from one half to one minute. “In every office there are the horse breeder’s family, at least I should imagine they had been around horses all their lives to hear their typewriter’s uneven “clippetty clop.” I don’t wonder that bus¬ iness men grow old young. This unevenness is brought on by haste, and as the old proverb goes, “Haste makes waste” both in valuable Continued on page 36 28 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N History of Mathematics Odd as it may seem, there is no universally-accepted definition of the word “mathematics.” Philosophers and mathematicians have cast about for two thousand years in a search for such a definition but have met with little success. Whenever the ordinary person thinks of mathe¬ matics, he sees a confused jumble of numbers and figures popping up before his eyes, and seldom realizes the important role those same num¬ bers play in his life. We would be unable to construct buildings, bridges, tunnels, et cetera of such considerable size as have made their appear¬ ances recently, without the aid of those little, insignificant figures that seem to bother and worry so many of us. An Egyptian priest, Ahmes (1700 B. C.), was the first writer of a document to be of any importance to mathematics. His book was entitled “Directions for Knowing All Dark Things.” It gave a series of problems in measurements, and contents of barns et cetera, and also the answers, but failed to show how the results were obtained in the majority of cases. The Babylonians copied the Egyptian ideas and applied them to astronomy, but the real beginning of mathematics was in Greece in the founding of the Ionian school of Thales (600 B. C.). Pytho- goras, famous for his theorem, next founded a school in Italy and orig¬ inated a theory of numbers there. The development of geometry was characteristic of this first period in the growth of mathematics. Pro¬ gress was rapid and in 300 B. C. the Alexandrian school where Euclid taught and Archimedes was a student was formed. The first value for the ratio between the circumference of a circle and its diameter was three. This ration (II), as used by Ahmes, was three. 1604; Archi¬ medes used 31 7. There were many other noted Greeks, but Dio- phantus, the founder of algebra, and Hero, to whom we are indebted for Hero’s formula, were the most notable after Christ. Rome contributed practically nothing to mathematics. Now begins the second period in which arithmetic, algebra, and trigonometry were created. Development of the art was increasing steadily in the East. A Hindu, Aryabhatta (600 A. D.) was the first mathematician here. He possessed a great knowledge of the theory of numbers, algebra, and even of the first principles of trigonometry. A century later Brahmagupta made his appearance and advanced algebra and made calculations on the mensuration of solids that were far in 29 THE HUTTLESTONIAN advance of his predecessors. It was amoung the Hindoos that our pres¬ ent system of arabic numerals (1, 2, 3, 4, etc.) was originated and spread (through the Arabs, for whom they are named) to Europe. If you doubt the value of these numerals, take a simple multiplication and write and solve it in Roman numerals (for instance, XVII X XII=?) The first system of Arabic numerals was as follows: rG r 8D® The Arabs taught and applied the Hindu Knowledge but originated nothing themselves. The Renaissance now appeared and mathematics developed great¬ ly. The Italian Algebraists now solved the cubic and biquadratic equa¬ tions and, except for the symbolism suggested by Desiartes, algebra was now complete. This suggestion was made in 1650 and, when this was done, algebra was in the same form that we are familiar with today. About this time a revival in interest in geometry was felt. Des¬ cartes and Fermat now laid the foundation of analytic geometry; with this the third and last period began. This period is the period of mod¬ ern mathematics in which the development of analysis and the applica¬ tion of mathematics to the other sciences occurred. The theory of logarithms, discovered by Mapier, and the modern theory of numbers were evolved and became generally known. The seventeenth century marks the close of the period of develop¬ ment of elementary mathematics. In this century Newton introduced his fluxional calculus and Leibnity brought out his differential calculus. These two, considered today as one and the same thing, completely re¬ volutionized mathematics. The eighteenth century was devoted to in¬ vestigating the foundations of this new analysis. Substitution, sur¬ face, curve, complex numbers et cetera developed at this time also. Lagrange, Laplan and Gauss are the masters of modern analysis. The names of the men who, within the last century, have applied and furthered mathematics are too numerous to list here. We have seen how the mathematical genius of the world has shifted from one country to another. Today it rests in Germany through the efforts of Steinmitz and Einstein. Each change has marked an advance towards success. When and where will the next advance be made? Roger Silsby, ' 32. 30 THE HUTTLESTONIAN Introducing John What! You haven’t met John? You simply must meet him, he is really the most extraordinary and fascinating man I have ever met. He is five feet ten inches tall and what a physique! One can hardly believe that this same John, or Jack to some of us, is an escaped convict. By the way, he even has a bullet hole in his sternum. What! You didn’t know they allowed escaped convicts in school? Well it’s so, he even lives here. In fact he is in one of my classes with me. He doesn’t say much, but he’s full of action. He is so active he has to be hung up by his head, while his feet dangle and rattle aimlessly in the air. Sometime when we don’t want him in class we lock him in a closet. He is a most weird creature, having no muscles, no eyes, no hair, no fingernails, no toe nails; there is not even any skin on him. Per¬ haps some of you are wondering just what he is made up of, well it’s carbonate and Phosphate of Lime. Some afternoon when you have some spare time, pay him a visit. He delights in having visits from the pupils. He is usually outside of the teacher’s room or “hanging around” room twelve. Don’t let him scare you because after all he looks exactly like all of us will sooner or later. Although I have neglected to tell you, probably you have guessed who it is. You’re right, its our pal, John the Skeleton.

How differently he was trained from our boys today! When a Spartan boy was born he was taken before a council of old men who examined him. If the baby was found perfect, he would be given back to his mother; if he was imperfect he was taken to a cave in the mountains and left there to die. The mother was allowed to keep the child until the age of seven and then he was taken over by the state and trained for war. The boys suffered many hardships for they went barefoot, both summer and winter, bathed in the cold Eurates, and slept on the reeds gathered by the bands of the river. Sometimes they were scourged, that they might become accustomed to pain. The boys were taught to steal and if they were caught they were punished not for stealing but for the stupidity of getting caught. Wha a decided contrast to our modern youth! Ira Jackson, ’35. Our Heritage Our lives are like the leaves, We live and then fall down; For time is like the autumn wind, It waits not, for us to frown; But cuts us from the family tree, Like plucking petals from the flowers, The flower cries for the petals gone, And so our kin weep on and on, Then, they, likewise fall away, Leaving our home tree bleak and bare, This is how our heritage dies, Thus it goes on everywhere. Ricordo Holt, ’36. 32 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N Excerpts from the School Diary Mundae. ’Twas a bleu dae, bein’ mundae.

I had some ideas as to how newspaper men should conduct themselves, and I liked to have my men live up to this standard. Today, however, everything began wrong. 1 had discharged a new man for pulling his fourth “boner” in a week, and had threatened to fire a veteran if he came in an hour late again. Outside my office, a boy was stationed to stop all people wishing to get in. He had been instructed to solicit their names, find out the nature of their visit and then send word to me. Suddenly the door opened and in walked a chap with a smile as broad as the Atlantic. His eyes were bloodshot and his shabby suit looked for a much needed pressing. It was only easy to guess that his substance had been wasted in a session with John Barleycorn. He smiled a beaming smile, and said, “My name is Bob Haynes. Have you a hole in your staff that a topnotch man could fill? “Sorry Haynes,” I growled, “there are too many prima donnas on my staff now.” “Tough luck,” he murmured, but intuition seemed to tell me the tough luck was all mine. He turned to go out, and as he did so, he collided with Mullen, my sports editor. “Oh hello, Haynes,” greeted Mullen, “Did you get on?” “Not a chance!” was Haynes’ swift rejoinder. The two continued their conversation in low tones; then Mullen handed the gate crasher a yellowback and he departed. Mullen always got under my skin, and so I wasn’t any too cor¬ dial as he walked leisurely up to my desk. “Listen here, Nelson,” he said, “I hate to see you take a licking. I know this Haynes fellow from experience; he’s a devil bender.” “Well, what do you think he will do now?” I asked rather dub¬ iously. “Do? Why he’ll just go over and get a job on the ‘News ' .” The “News” was another paper in the town with less resources than ours and generally played second fiddle to us. “He naturally went for the larger pay,” continued Mullen, “but he’ll take the other position now.” 34 the huttlestonian Six times, during the next week, we were scooped on important stories by the “News,” and each article was signed, “By Bob Haynes.” I was at my wit’s end, for I had been called for a session with the Managing Editor who had said some highly regrettable things. I finally decided to put Elawks, a star reporter to cover Haynes. “Watch him like an eagle at all times, and don’t let him out of your sight. Here’s fifty dollars for expense money and there’s more where that came from when it’s gone. Now get out and show me some results.” From then on, I had a detailed report on Haynes’ activities. I began to breathe more easily. That afternoon, the phone rang and Hawks’ voice greeted me from the other end of the wire. “Haynes just jumped a taxi, and headed out of town. I followed in my car. Half way to the city limits, he stopped and entered a hardware store, but came right out again with a small package. I inquired in the store as to what he had bought, and was told a half pound of roofing nails had been the extent of the purchase. I picked up his trail again heading into the next city, but we soon began to bump along, and it was then discovered that we had three flats all made by large head nails. While the chauffeur is patching the tires, I’m calling you.” “All right; come back to the office at once,” I grunted with disgust. Twenty minutes later, I heard the paper boys crying a “News” extra. A bank had been robbed in the next city. I was desperate. I tore out clumps of my hair and kicked over my office chair and upset the waste basket, while, as a climax, the scene file fell off the desk spill¬ ing its contents about the room like a February snow flurry. At this point, the door swung open, and an apologetic Western Union boy handed me a telegram. It was from a friend of mine in Kansas City and read, “Fellow travelling to your town by rail Stop Is the famous millionaire, Martin Gold, Stop Arrange an interview.” Here, at last, was my chance to get back at the “News” and Bob Haynes. The previous day, I had imported a splendid reporter named Newton, and I selected him as the man for this job. “Sure I’ve heard of this Haynes fellow, but I’ve never seen him,” Newton informed me. “It will be a pleasure to tangle with Him.” “Board the train at the next town, and have him paged, then obtain an interview,” said I. “That’s all.” A short time later, Newton phoned in, “I’ve obtained a splendid interview. He was a little “standoffish” at first, but he gave me a fine story when he knew what paper I represented. Said he had much re- 35 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N spect for the city editor of the ‘Herold.’ He even let me take his picture.” Immediately upon Newton’s return, I ran to a copy boy and gave him the story, while Newton took the pictures directly to the photo¬ graphic room to be developed. Many of the fellows gathered around outside the door waiting for a glimpse at the positive as soon as it was ready. I was swelling up with self-appreciation as I waited for the photographs. So the great Gold had admired me! I fairly strutted in my pride, until suddenly, I found myself staring unbelievingly at the photographs held before my eyes by the outstretched arm of the proof expert. From the glossy surface of the picture grinned the engaging fea¬ tures of Bob Haynes! Fooled again! What sport Haynes must have had connecting that fake story for my trusting Newton! I could just see him grin as he related that tasty morsel about his respect for me! If there was a more defected person in the world at that moment, I would have liked to meet him. Mullen came over to me and said, “I know you have some notions about the ethics of this profession, but how long are you going to keep your back to the wall and take pun¬ ishment?” To tell the truth I didn’t know. “Well,” went on Mullen, “he has one weakness. Give me twenty dollars, and I’ll have him on your staff by midnight.” True to his word, Mullen came to my home about eleven o’clock that night with a very docile Haynes in tow. I am now managing editor of a large eastern newspaper, but I never have forgotten that mid¬ night contract by a man so blissfully unconscious that he could hardly keep his signature on a nine by twelve sheet. The other day, I received a letter from Mullen saying, “This is introducing Max Porter. Max is a devil bender. I hired Porter on the spot! Earl Bettencourt, ’35.

T he slowness in getting started necessitates a great hurry in completing the work. “For the following reasons I have proven to you that lost move¬ ment in typewriting is a handicap to speed and accuracy: 1. Waste of time in getting started takes up the time which should be spent in careful typeing. 2. “Horse race” typewriting hampers accuracy and speed. 3. Constant backspacing takes time and affects rythm. 36 THE HUTTLESTON I A N The Way My English Goes” My English is all Greek to me, No matter how I try. I get my English papers back, And away my hopes do fly. I always stay up late at night, And burn the midnight oil. I grind and fuss and do my best, Oh boy! how I do toil. I climb in bed real late at night, Sometimes it’s after two. I don’t mind this one bit you see, Eve done all I could do. The clock to ten fifteen rolls ’round, You’ll find me in my class. And ’ere the period bell hath rung, My paper’s in at last. My work then to the marker goes, To pass her judgment there. She takes one look across the sheet, Results I do despair. The terms ends quickly with a rush, My marks I wished to see. “A” was the grade I longed to get, But my hopes were only “C.” Walter Machado, ’33. 37 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N Roster of Class of 1931 Gertrude Almy—Lesley School, Boston, Mass.

Let me see your license.” “Here it is, sir,” replied the motorist. “But this is a hunting license!” “Didn’t you say I was shooting along?” AAA Dumb:—“What’s worse than raining cats and dogs?” Belle:—“To hail taxies.” AAA Teacher:—“Do you remember Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address?” Pupil:—“No, I didn’t know he lived there.” AAA 1st Hobbo:—“Did you know that I belong to the Fire depart¬ ment?” 2nd—Ditto:—“No, how come?” 1st Hobbo:—“Sure, every job I have I get fired.” AAA “I’ve got a job as blacksmith in a candy shop.” “What do you mean?” “I shoo the flies.” AAA FAMOUS HOTEL SIGNS “All guests who are interested in driving will find hammer and nails in the closet.” “If your room gets too warm, open the window and watch the fire escape.” “Don’t worry about paying your bills; this building is sup¬ ported by a foundation.” “If you’re fond of athletics, pick up the mattress and watch the bed spring.” AAA Terrified Woman (to hotel manager) “Quick there are two mice fighting in my room.” Manager:—“What do you want for $1.50—a bull fight?” 41 THE HUTTLESTONIAN Human Vegetables Poets have always sung the praises of rose gardens as settings for all that is romantic and flowery, but take any well brought-up infant, give him his choice between “the flowers that bloom in the spring, tra- la“ and an old-fashioned bouquet of tawny carrots, blushing beets and juicy rare-ripes, and see which his eager hands will clutch. I was one of the aforementioned, well brought-up little dears. All of my class were. Our parents believed, with apologies to Shredded Wheat, that what you are, depended upon what you ate. Now we be¬ lieve it, and this belief has greatly vegetized our existence. As we tread life’s highway, we find at every step pedestrians with vegetated tendencies. Let me enumerate them, these human vegetables, that you may laugh and weep with me at their mouldering earthiness. There is, among our acquaintances, one exasperating individual who delights in spying out the most carefully hidden secret, the most ef¬ fectively concealed plan. He is a past master in the art of observation, an ever-present spectator in time of secrecy. He has optical illusions of all sorts. He has too many eyes. He is completely and wholly Potato! Like unto him is the listener; little pitcher, with the big ears. Let there be just a whisper, seemingly barely breathed in the privacy of one’s own apartment. Like a blazing comet it will appear when next it dawns upon your horizon, so beautifully will it be adorned, so amaz¬ ingly will it be be-dicked. Only pray that it is favorably amplified by those human Ears of Corn. Then comes the clinging vine type, sweetly feminine, dainty little tendrils all ready to coil just as soon as a prop is provided, limp and placid when support is withdrawn, easily broken up—a String Bean person. Let just one girl spend a week end out of town and bring back a new style haircut. See how fast it will travel through the school. Great travelers, the Peas! Very much alike, too! Come dark days, come storms! Step forth the ingrowing opti¬ mists, the worth-while persons who can smile with everything going out and nothing coming in, who break forth into song instead of cry¬ ing over spilt milk and never dream that it may ruin the rug before it gets wiped up! Meet these little hunks of stored-up sunshine, the Car¬ rot folks. 42 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N Far be it from me to slight the valiant souls, deep rooted and firm, sturdy and strong, whom cool, freezing treatment only sweetens—the plucky Parsnip and the tasty Turnip types. Fine, too, are the whole-some everyday mortals, too often taken for granted, iron-firm, gritty—long life to the Spinach people! Our vegetable friends, all hail! Romance and Roses for yours? Sunshine and Vegetables for mine! Charlotte Nye, ’35. A Colorful Event A clatter of wooden heels, a rush of color, and amidst wild ap¬ plause, Patauski, the famous Russian dancer made her appearance. Red, yellow and white were the predominating colors of her striking cos¬ tume. The rippling of her skirt as she swung into the fantastic steps of her native dance produced a picture worthy of painting. Life and rhythm were a part of this Russian Dance. As she dipped and swirled, her small feet shod in white boots scarcely .touched the floor. A white hat sat jauntily on black curly hair. Now the crowd cheered lustily as she tried some step in which balance seemed unknown. Finally the dance was over and Patauski made her exit. The audience clamoured for more! Noise was deafening! Such was the reception for this Russian actress’ appearance. Ellen Jennings, ’32. 43 “Clipper”; Esek Hopkins Jr. High School :—Yours is a very in¬ teresting magazine and we wish to congratulate your printing class especially, for their fine piece of work. Why not have an Exchange page? “The Harpoon”; Dartmouth High School :—“The Harpoon” is the best book we have seen from a school of your size. We would sug¬ gest that your Literary and School Notes departments have equally as good headings as your Athletic and Poetry pages. “Northern Light”; Normandin Jr. High School, New Bedford, Mass. The cover design on your magazine is very attractive and the stories are amusing. We like your Exchange page. “ Brocklonia”; Brockton High School :—We enjoyed reading your magazine immensely and consider it the best that we have reviewed. “M. H. S. Review”; Medford High School :—The stories in the “Review” represent real talent and are of stirring interest. “The Rough Rider”; Roosevelt Jr. High, New Bedford, Mass .:— “The Rough Rider” has a very complete literary department and the editorials show much thought and careful preparation. “The Alpha”; New Bedford High: —We like the arrangement of your magazine and enjoyed reading your literary department. If you could avoid having advertisements on your cover, we believe it would add to its appearance. 44 THE HUTTLESTONI AN A Comparison High above me in the sk y, Where big, white, fluffy clouds do fly, There, an eagle once swooped by, And flew to the mountain very high. But soon adown he flew again, On feathery pinions swift as flame. And in the valley and lowland rude, Plundered and pillaged for his food. Just so we humans upwards fly, To the wonderful things we most desire, Reach up to glory until we die, Then drop to earth like a flash of fire. George Steele, ’36.
