Dickey Such was our friend. Formed on the good old plan, A true and brave and downright honest man !— He blew no trumpet in the market place, Nor in the church with hypocritic face Supplied ivith cant the lack of Christian grace; Loathing pretence, he did with cheerfid will What others talked of while their hands were still; His daily prayer, far better understood In acts than words, was simply Doing Good.

Downing TO THE CLASS OF 1938: A few years ago I spent some days in a New England college town. One morning I wandered into the library on the campus and saw on the wall the names of those students who had gone to the World War and had never returned. Above the list of names was the sentence Tout ce que nous avons est pour vous”. The significance was clear at once. Those young men were saying to their successors, All that we have is yours; we can not use these college facilities any longer, but we leave them to you along with whatever good to humanity has come from our sacrifice. All that we might have had is now yours.” This sentence in French lettered in gold upon a library wall seems to me to express the spirit of our American schools and colleges. Where can you find a school that is trying to hold back instruction from people or to render less service this year than last? All the schools I know are seeking constantly to make available to more people the benefits of the finest education they can offer. You, members of the Class of 193 8, have lived for years in such an atmosphere. Whatever could be secured in the way of better equipment or better teaching that would make education for you more vital and valuable has been at your disposal. The school has tried to help you master at least one language. It has stood ready to awaken your interest in the best literature. Through class room and laboratory it has been pre¬ pared to introduce you to the laws of science. It has drawn aside the curtain through classes in history so that those who would might become acquainted with the past out of which this con¬ fused present has come, and it has pointed the way to cooperation and social usefulness in our own day. It has been ready to teach those who cared to learn how to use some of the tools and machines of industry, and it has always insisted that, valuable as such skill of hand or brain might be, what a person is, is of more consequence than what he knows. All these things and more the school has been eager to do for you. Truly it has said, Tout ce que nous avons est pour vous”. Now the question is what you will do with what you have. Some of you are already aware that faithful work here has provided you with a passport to a more advanced school, and you plan to prepare yourselves by further study for some service that will bring you the enduring satisfactions of life. Some of you believe you are through with school and you want an opportunity at once to render service and to earn money. For¬ tunately you live in a country where libraries, evening schools, and correspondence courses are available at little or no expense if you later discover that some neglected part of your education stands in the way of happiness or success. But whatever your plans for the immediate future, it seems to me that you should determine to fit yourselves for intelligent citizenship by every means at your disposal. The school has given you a start in this direction, but you need to carry on by reading, listening, thinking, and improving your judgment. In some countries those in au¬ thority are saying to the people, All that you have is ours”. If we wish democracy to endure in our country we must pay a price. We must keep informed about political problems and policies; we must vote intelligently, and we must demonstrate our belief that the noblest motive is the pu blic good by consider¬ ing the public good as of greater importance than our own in¬ dividual gain. That is not easy to do. It requires real character on the part of citizens to maintain free democratic government. You have been well taught. Show that you have vision, charac¬ ter, and devotion to the public welfare, for the control of The United States of America is passing inevitably into the hands of you graduates and of hosts of others like you from sea to shining 5 sea .

Macy, Jr. There is a poem that says: You can always tell a Senior, He is so gaily dressed. You can always tell a Junior By the way he swells his chest. You can always tell a Sophomore By his timid looks and such. You can always tell a Freshman, But you can’t tell him much!” This is a lie, an untruth, a terminological inexactitude, for when the Class of 193 8 first came to the High School as Fresh¬ men, the staid and stable upper-classmen helped and assisted with information as to the location of the rooms assigned the trusting new-comers. It is an infernal nuisance to promenade to the third story of the main building, and then be informed by one in authority that the room one is seeking is in the other building, second floor. After several days of acclimation and disillusionment, the class elections were held. These elections brought Blondy Ing¬ ham to the fore. In spite of his anemic hair, he proved himself a politician, attaining the presidency for himself, and the vice¬ presidency for Carl Furtado. Jackie Godreau was elected to the Executive Committee, which position she liked so much that she has retained it ever since. The Freshman year is worthy of note in that it was the only year that rugged individualist, Clayton Enos, had the am¬ bition to affiliate himself with the B. A. A. Moreover, it was then that Benny Freitas began to play football as it should be played. We have it from authoritative sources that the secret of his success was his habit of singing in the locker-rooms. It tired his opponents. 61 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 Miss Giguere, of our respected faculty, was astounded to find how few of the class knew anything of the practical side of this thing called the dance. She initiated, therefore, a dancing class in her room, which drew all but the timid Freshmen, who were tracked down and instructed, willy-nilly, in the art. The knowledge thus acquired proved extremely beneficial from a superficial standpoint, but, viewed more practically, it helped to permanently dent many a poor fellow’s pocketbook. Returning from a summer of one thing and another, the erstwhile Freshmen began to assert — positively not exert — themselves a bit more. For instance, Jiggs Harkness joined the High School Band. Jiggs plays the slide trombone. It is posi¬ tively astonishing how he slides that thing around and about. He is the only person who can satisfactorily chew gum, watch a football game, and play a trombone at one and the same time. Claims it’s due to the clashing of his personal inclinations with the propensities of Miss Hastings, the lady who has for a number of years ruled as de facto monarch of the Band. Furthermore, vacation so instilled Dorothy Baker with ambition that she went into the High School Orchestra. Of course, this was merely a side-line, for her real hobby was — and is — to learn cooking. Politics began the Junior year. John Thor Morgan was elected class president. David Finwood Cahoon acquired the vice-presidency. He enjoyed being in the political graveyard so much, that as a Senior he ran for — and caught — the vice¬ presidency of the Student Council. Clara Bradbury was made class treasurer, and Dorothy Furtado began her two year job as secretary. The New Bedford game was won by Fairhaven this year, the last that Benny Freitas was with us. The ensuing bonfire was enjoyed to the full until the Fire Department, displaying rare tact and gallantry, extinguished the conflagration. George Richardson Proctor — this class is full of comic middle names — contrived to get the vice-presidency of the newly formed Debating Society. His method of debating was highly original, but so was the first Ford. At that, it was worth watching. 62 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N The Junior Prom was duly expected, prepared for, held, en¬ joyed, and cleaned up after. Anne Rogers was elected Queen. From her throne she witnessed the Grand March, which, in all truth, was very impressive. The Gym was decorated with toy balloons. The balloons and Miss Rogers were much sought after. People still keep the balloons. Miss Rogers retains her inde¬ pendence. Mildred Grindrod and Gertrude Eccleston started out on their careers as cheerleaders. Gert got by all right, but Millie had and has the habit of losing her voice when excited. It often aroused Millie’s ire, but from the side-lines, this singular phen¬ omenon was regarded as good local colour. The first shock for the class as Seniors, was information to the effect that Danny Sullivan had joined the cheerleaders. The action was entirely without precedent, and according to Danny, was absolutely unpremeditated. He was just lonesome. Stanley Allen reached the class presidency, with Edward J. McDermott as vice-president. John Whelpley, one of those out¬ standing Mattapoisetteers, was elected to the treasurership, and Dorothy Furtado retained her position as secretary. Early in the year two newspapers — the word is used here advisedly — merged to form The Tower, an embryonic school news-organ. The Seniors on the staff were: Billy Boyle, Assistant Editor; George Proctor, Exchange Editor; Towner Smith, Cir¬ culation Manager; Jimmy McDonough, Sports Editor; Herb Macy, Literary Editor; and Arnold Manchester, Musical Editor. Mr. Lawton was made Faculty Adviser. The paper has been coming up, due largely to Mr. Lawton, but it would seem to have quite some distance to climb before it is worth much, from a literary standpoint. Malcolm MacGregor Cummings — I said this class had middle names — astonished everybody by bursting into poetry in the early issue of The Huttlestonian. Mac is different; so is his poetry. Speaking of surprises, Allen Harkness ran the Sen ior Cake Sale successfully, cleared a profit, and did it almost alone. I said ' almost’! Two presidents need to be accounted for. They are Billy Ames and Clara Bradbury, who served as presidents of the Stud- 63 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 ent Council and of the Honor Society, respectively, and possibly, respectedly. The cast of the Senior Play included Towner Smith, Gordon Crook, Mary Howland, Billy Boyle, Eleanor Booth, Gertrude Eccleston, Anne Rogers, and George Proctor. They studied long and extensively under the martinet-like supervision of bombastic, capable Miss Hoyle. The play was entitled Enter the Prodigal”. People tell me the only fatted calf was Towner, but, of course, this is mere hearsay. Some histories end abruptly, other narratives taper off gradually, but all, like this, End.

Some were held merely for entertainment. Others were for the additional pur¬ pose of education. But all were intended to aid the cultural training of the students. Among the different types of assemblies, those dealing with music always seemed popular. Outstanding among these were two concerts by the Bristol County W. P. A. Band under the direction of Mr. Nelson. Early in September, our own school band was presented the scroll which it had won at Gloucester during the competition there. Another program of this type was the one in which the New Bedford High School orchestra gave us an enjoyable concert. In addition to musical assemblies, the students were bene¬ fited by talks presented by several speakers. Among these were Dr. Thompson’s annual Armistice Day Talk, Hedly Hepworth’s excellent readings, Mr. Thomas Tripp’s biography of Henry Huttleston Rogers, Mr. William Tripp’s lecture on the Whaling Museum in New Bedford, and the Reverend L. H. White’s travel talk. The more impressive assemblies included the initiation of new members to the Honor Society, an annual event, and the presentation to the school of a picture of our late principal, Mr. George C. Dickey. At that time, Superintendent Charles F. Prior and the Reverend John H. Maddaford spoke touchingly about Mr. Dickey’s splendid character, and the excellent work done by him throughout his life. Several departments of the school also conducted assembly programs. The Ninth Grade Dramatic Club displayed its ability before the students in the form of a one act play, The Violin Maker of Cremona”. Another story was dramatized by the French pupils, although this was not presented to the students as a body, but, instead, was given one evening to parents and pupils alike. The public speaking class showed its prowess in a program dealing with vocations. Another morning eight mem- 70 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N bers of a Freshman Science Class gave upperclassmen an enter¬ taining exhibition of vacuum tubes, that are interesting in the development of the modern electronic theory of atomic structure. The usual football rallies were held in the Fall, and the athletic awards were presented in the Spring. An unusual occasion instigated one assembly — the visit of Lady Fairhaven to our town in behalf of the school. She was presented with flowers by the President of The Student Council, and in return spoke a few words to the students. One problem which confronted the school administration throughout the year was the seating of the increased number of students in the hall. Several systems were tried, but it was deemed best that each class, with the exception of the Seniors, should take its turn in missing an assembly. With the absence of one class there appears to be sufficient room for those who attend. 71 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 THE LIBRARY A very jewel among rooms in the Fairhaven High School Elizabethan library. As one enters, the atmosphere is that of a private library rather than of a school-room. Its imported Swedish panel carvings appropriately represent William Shakes¬ peare and Ann Hathaway, while its massive tables are of bog oak from Scotland. The bookcases, with leaded glass doors, con¬ tain about 1200 books, many of them gifts of Mr. Rogers. Bronze table-lamps and beautiful pictures, together with the other lovely objects, make the library a veritable gem, cherished by all. 72 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N THE HONOR SOCIETY President Clara A. Bradbury Secretary Mary W. Soares Vice-President John O. Whelpley, Jr. Treasurer Lilia Medeiros The Fairhaven High School Chapter of the National Honor Society was organized in 1927, and five boys and six girls were initiated as charter members. The total number of members, alumni and active, is one hundred and seventy-five. When we consider that the purpose of this society is to stimulate in the student body of the Fairhaven High School the four virtues — scholarship, leadership, character, and service, it is easy to understand that the organization has benefited mutually, the school and the chapter members. 73 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 THE STUDENT COUNCIL Secret ary-T reasurer Anne M. Rogers The Student Council of Fairhaven Ffigh School was form¬ ed by our late principal, Mr. George C. Dickey. Its purpose is to give the student body a voice in the policy of the school toward matters of student government. This year, the Council was influential in securing the priv¬ ilege of passing through the front doors of the Fligh School at any time. It revised the old Code of Ethics, and discussed var¬ ious problems brought before the Council by the members as representatives of the students of Fairhaven Fligh School. 74 THE HUTTLESTONIAN THE GIRLS’ ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION President Clara G. Bradbury Business Manager Avril I. Haughn T re astir er Lilia Medeiros The Girls’ Athletic Association is a club of Fairhaven High School girls, run solely for the girls, and by the girls. Its aim is to foster and encourage purposeful and competitive recreation. During the year, a varied program is covered, including hockey, basketball, ping-pong, badminton, tetherball, tenniquoit, volley ball, baseball, tennis, and horseback riding. Although the G. A. A. fosters chiefly intramural competition, the teams have played a few outside games after completing the school programs. 75 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 THE ORCHESTRA The orchestra was first formed in 1926, and was conducted by Clarence Jones of New Bedford. At that time, there was no organized musical training in the schools, and few good players. As the town became more musically-minded, and more children began taking lessons, people realized that a good High School orchestra was desirable. Mr. F. William Kempf was selected as the new conductor. Since then, the Fairhaven High School Orchestra has pro- pressed rapidly, and now plays at many functions. It ranks near the Band as a musical organization. 76 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N THE BAND About eleven years ago, the Fairhaven School Board voted to ask Mr. Clarence W. Arey to organize a band. Twenty-odd musicians, some graduates, made up the group selected. Since that time, the band has improved so that it is now a fine musical organization, with about fifty-five players on its roster. Many concerts have been given, and the unselfish efforts on the parts of Miss Hastings, the faculty adviser and band mother, and Mr. Arey, the conductor, together with outside help and student cooperation, have made the Fairhaven High School Band one of the finest in New England. 77 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 THE SENIOR PLAY A LETTER TO THE AUTHOR OF ENTER THE PRODIGAL” April 8 th Dear Richard Flournoy: Do you remember the day in that dingy little Back Bay tea shop, when you first showed me the manuscript of Enter the Prodigal”? You patted it slightly as you placed it in my hands, and you said, rather whimsically, that its pages held some very dear people asleep”. 78 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N Then you leaned your elbows on the checked cloth, and you told me the story of those sleeping people — of Father Walters, gentle and loyal; of Mother Walters, excitedly devoted to her loved ones, and quite selfless; of Ernest Walters, a plugging harassed lad, haunted by imaginary responsibilities, and bleakly sacrificing hope before the irascibility of his employer, Mr. Wells. You dwelt upon the delicately sensitive Mary Walters, who toiled for meager pay in a small department store, and you chuckled aloud when you told of Mrs. Haley, the unbiquitous young matron who suffered from frustrated literary aspirations, and who wrote of black-tressed maidens and bobolinks! But how your eyes shone, Richard Flournoy, when you men¬ tioned William Walters, the impetuous Prodigal”, who re¬ turned home from the city with bitter knowledge of personal failure well concealed beneath a blustering and delightful egotism! 79 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 Well I remember, how, at this point, I was carried away by your story, and absently put five lumps of sugar in your tea — you never take more than four — but you didn’t seem to notice how remiss I had been, because you were relating how the rascally Prodigal” ruined the family fortunes, and then mira¬ culously restored them, amplified, and left for the city with a splendid career in prospect, and a potential wife tucked beneath a very affectionate arm. Then I said: I must have that play for my Seniors, Richard Flournoy!” But you scowled, and suddenly noticed the five lumps, and refused to drink your tea. You said, No! Definitely No! Amateurs couldn’t act it, and professionals won’t so they’ll have to sleep — the Walters!” Then you looked suddenly disarmed, and drank your tea, five lumps and all, and said, All right; try it, but I’ll send the whole cast orchids if they can do it!” Tonight, Mr. Flournoy, we tried it — we amateurs, and indeed, they all awakened, those thoroughly delightful slumbering Walters of yours! But you know about it. You were there, in the third row from the back. I spotted you before the curtains parted, and my heart sickened with apprehension. Now, I am wondering, fear¬ fully and rather desolately, what you are thinking. Did you like Mother Walters? Her name is really Mary, you know, and she was a treasure at rehearsals, despite the fact that we all made fun of the way she walked upon the stage in her little swinging, school-girl skirt. Did you recognize the Father Walters conjured up by Gor¬ don — Gordon for whom I signed twenty-five after-session slips, and upon whom I squandered every classic word in my vocabu¬ lary, together with a few terms savoring of the original Saxon! Billy drew the plodding Ernest better than you know, for during his rehearsal intermissions, he learned to knit! It was a 80 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N charming sight to see Gertrude (your Mrs. Haley) aiding him in picking up the dropped stitches in the skirt he helped her to knit! Our Eleanor, (Mary Walters, to you, Mr. Flournoy) staved off famine at every rehearsal, and fed an ever-hungry cast. She donated huge bags of cookies which were” and gone” in the breath of a thought. Yet, George, our cantankerous Mr. Wells, has learned bad habits from your play. He commenced unlawfully appropriating other people’s yardsticks to use for canes. You have that on your conscience, Mr. Flournoy. It is to your shame that a fine boy has become a yardstick snitcher”! Your little heroine, Betty Reid, lived charmingly in Anne — Anne the staunch and sweet who sat long hours waiting for cues. Towner, of the shrieking trousers and shrinking ways brought the Prodigal” awake in the midst of a nightmare — Towner who was impervious to insult and who had three great thrills: shooting beebes at unsuspecting backs; taking the telephone to pieces and losing the screws; and placing his leet (admirable in their place) upon polished furniture. You were not responsible for Allen, my prompter, Mr. Flournoy, but he had the true Walters’ spirit. His little feet twinkled” about after the director while he picked up the things she dropped, and found the countless articles she lost. But I’m wondering, Mr. Flournoy, what you thought of it, tonight in the third row from the back. Will you always re¬ member and love the delightful Walters as their director will — those Walters who are once more sleeping in your manuscript? Tell me, Mr. Flournoy, do we get those orchids? Very humbly, The Director, M. G. H. 81 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 THE DEBATING SOCIETY In the latter part of 193 6, a Junior, Gordon Crook, real¬ izing the pack of possibilities for those pupils desiring to further their ability to debate, attempted to organize a debating club. Permission was received from Mr. Dickey, and Mr. Lawton agreed to assist this movement by acting as faculty adviser. The first officers elected were: Gordon Crook, President; Harold Woodcock, Vice-President; Herbert Macy, Treasurer; and Isabel Tuel, Secretary. The club got off to an excellent start, many debates being held during the year. The members visited several debates of near-by schools in order to understand more fully the intricacies involved in argumentation. Although several challenges were received by us from other schools, they were refused because of inexperience on the part of the majority of the club members, However, a challenge from New Bedford High School was finally accepted. The Fairhaven team, consisting of Harold Woodcock, Shirley Kanter, Gordon Crook, and Isabel Tuel, was defeated by a 2-1 decision at the debate, which was held near the end of the school year. The officers elected for the ’37-38 year were: Gordon Crook, President; Joseph Cohen, Vice-President; Herbert Macy, Treas¬ urer; and George Proctor, Secretary. Debates this year have been entirely intramural. It is the hope of the club and its officers to develop an or¬ ganization which will last. Our belief is that this can be ac¬ complished only by using a system such as is in existence in New Bedford High School. Under this system the members of the Fairhaven High Debating Society would receive credit amount¬ ing to Z 2 point per school year. Meetings would be held one afternoon each week, and members would be required to attend class” in order to receive credit. Under such a system the de¬ velopment of good debating teams could be assured. 82 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N COLLEGE ENGLISH IV No book of this nature would be complete without the in¬ clusion of a classroom picture. Here we see a typical Senior Class. Its members are engaged in the intriguing task of study¬ ing Macbeth — note the absorbed and interested expressions!

This view represents, as nearly as possible, a cross-section of the Class of 193 8. 83 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 EDITORIAL STAFF OF THE HUTTLESTONIAN” 1937 - 1938 Seated around the table :—John O’Donnell, Lilia Medeiros, Walter Apperson, Philomena Cordeira, Joseph Cohen, Evelyn Silveira, Alvah Howland, Lucy Anesti, Natalie Tallman, and Nancy Terry. Standing ' .—Russell Pollard, Towner Smith, Robert Carr, William Burrell, George Proctor, Barbara Maynard, Robert Proctor, and Eilene Alpert. 84 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N The first issue of The Huttlestonian appeared in 1923. The surplus earnings were set aside for a scholarship fund to be known as The Huttlestonian Scholarship Loan Fund — the first in the Fairhaven High School. Since that time, every edition of the magazine has added to the original sum, so that, in all, more than 3,000 dollars has been earned. By the help of this scholarship, many students have obtained a college education that otherwise they could not have hoped for. The magazine was issued twice yearly until 1934. At that time, publication was suspended be¬ cause of the business depression, but was resumed in 193 6, after an enterprising Junior class in College English decided to edit its own number to give special aid to a student then at Harvard University. The venture was successful, and over 100 dollars was realized. In addition to the aid given to students, other useful things have been accomplished. The fine piano in the Old Assembly Hall was purchased partly by Huttlestonian money, also the radio- phonograph, furnishings in the teachers’ room, the stereoptican, and The Huttlestonian service cup, awarded yearly to the boy and girl of the Senior Class who have earned the highest number of service points during their high school courses. The Huttlestonian, a magazine of high literary value, has won many prizes in national contests with other school publica¬ tions. The following letter is a testimonial of the high standard of The Huttlestonian. JOHN MARSHALL HIGH SCHOOL 250 Ridgeway Avenue Rochester, New York Adviser, The Huttlestonian November 8, 1934. Fairhaven High School Fairhaven, Mass. Dear Adviser: Your magazine, The Huttlestonian, has been recommended to me by the Quill and Scroll Society as one of the best in the country. I should like very much to see a copy and show it to the staff of our John Quill ' ' , a semi-annual publication which we are transforming into a magazine more and more. In hopes that you can spare a copy of a recent issue, I am en¬ closing ten cents to cover the cost of sending it to me at the above address. If you wish, I will see that you receive a copy of the next John Quill . Sincerely yours, (Signed) WARD S. MILLER, Adviser of Publication SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 THE TOWER” The formation of the Fairhaven High School newspaper was an unique occurrence. Instead of being the spontaneous brain¬ child of some ambitious person, it was the result of the merger of two unofficial sheets, The Amalgamated Daily Transcript” and The Daily Blah”. These exuberent rivals gushed streams of wit upon the student body for some time, until the more neu¬ tral members of the staffs realized that it would be best to com¬ bine and publish a really worth while, official school paper. Af¬ ter much bickering and many meetings, a satisfactory coalition was arranged, and the new publication named The Tower”. The staff for 1937-1938 was as follows: Editor, John Mc¬ Donough; Assistant, James McDonough; Literary notes, Herbert Macy; Exchange, Herbert Murray; Music, Arnold Manchester; Columnists, Beverly Augusta, John O ' Donnell; Business Manager, Thomas Hurley; Cartoonist, William Finley; Circulation Man¬ ager, John Hurley; Publicity, Towner Smith; Publication Man¬ ager, Joseph Pare; Faculty Adviser, Mr. Robert Lawton. The Tower” has in every way been a success. It has con¬ tained usually about eight pages. School scandals were printed in the gossip columns, and the news was up-to-date. Gossip in¬ cluded everything from puppy love to Miss Hoyle’s beautiful maggotty herring. Besides these duties, the paper has performed many other services to the school, such as gifts to outstanding in¬ tramural basketball players, flowers to the teacher whose room purchased the largest number of subscriptions, and the purchase of a mimeoscope that will be very useful to the school in future years. 86 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N REPRESENTATIVES TO THE NEW BEDFORD WOMAN’S CLUB Eleanor Booth Mary Howland It has been the custom, during several years, for the high schools of Greater New Bedford to elect representatives to the New Bedford Woman’s Club. This year, two students, Mary Howland and Eleanor Booth, were chosen from the Senior Class to represent our school. Upon their election, they were given guest tickets, which entitled them to be present at all the meetings and social functions of the club. Although school work prevented them from going to the club¬ house regularly, a few programs were enjoyed. Of those meetings which they did attend, the one which in¬ terested them the most was an illustrated lecture on China by a local pastor. This was their first visit to the clubhouse. They were made to feel at home, and were introduced to the officers of the club, and to the representatives of other schools. This contact with the women of Greater New Bedford has been wholly successful, in that it has helped the students realize the good work accomplished by such a group, and has shown them the advantages of membership in that organization. 87 SENIOR ISSUE 19 3 8 THE CAFETERIA The Fairhaven High School Cafeteria is a non-profit-making organization that exists to serve the students wholesome, well- balanced meals. The main thought in the planning of the lunch¬ es is health, and the menus are made up with this in mind. Most of the food is prepared in the school. Only the best quality meats and groceries are bought, and in wide variety. Miss Strong is the able entrepreneur who keeps things run¬ ning smoothly. She has three women who regularly assist her, and some students who help at recess. About two hundred students are served daily, some pur¬ chasing entire meals and others milk, soups, sandwiches, and desserts to supplement lunches brought from home. 88 ATHLETICS SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 FOOTBALL A good football season was climaxed by dropping a hard- fought game to the crimson boys from New Bedford. Fairhaven had a heavy team and a light backfield, which functioned occas¬ ionally. A close tie game was played with Durfee. F. H. S. was honored by the placing of two members of its team on the Bristol County eleven. These were Captain John Silva, and John Morgan, flashy half back. The regular players were as follows: Captain Silva, Allen, Archambault, McDermott, Roberts, Huggard, Stitt, Gubellini, Morgan, Bradford, Fortin, Carr, McDonough, Machado, Pifko, Furtado, Cummings, and Lussier. These are the games and scores of the season: Fairhaven 6— Dartmouth 6; Fairhaven 0—New Bedford 7; Fairhaven 20— East Providence 6; Fairhaven 7 —Durfee 7; Fairhaven 0—Whit¬ man 12; Fairhaven 7 —Attleboro 0; Fairhaven 12—Taunton 0; Fairhaven 6—Barnstable 0. 90 THE HUTTLESTONIAN BASKETBALL The year 193 8 found Fairhaven High represented on the basketball court by a rangy five, of whom much was expected. The boys lived up to all expectations, winning eleven games out of the nineteen played, and finishing runners-up in the South Shore Tournament. The first team consisted of the following: Capt. John Thor Morgan, John Silva, James McDonough, Ray Archambault, and Lester Patasini. Their able assistants were Andrew Pifko, Gene Skoniezy, Henry Fortin and several others. John Silva made the All-Bristol Team, while Ray Archambault was the high scorer for the county. The latter is also the only regular returning, and it is about him and Captain-Elect Skon- ieczy that Coach Sezak must build his next season’s team. The second year of Intra-Mural League Basketball saw the purples, who included Capt. Tom Hurley, John Hughes, John McDonough, John Hendriques, Courtney Patasini, Joseph Cohen, Jack O’Donell, and Allen Booth, win the pennant, while the Blue won the Tournament. 91 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 TRACK This year, the track squad, as a whole, has done remarkably well in view of the stiff competition which they have faced. One of the main objects of the present season is to defend their track and field championship at the South Shore Tournament in Brockton. These are the members of the 193 8 track squad: Stanley Allen, Colombo Gubellini, William Boyle, Lester Patasini, Carl Furtado, Minot Eaton, William Ames, Daniel McQuillan, David Cahoon, Robert Cahoon, John Hurley, Thomas Hurley, John Machado, George Hadfield, Alfred Lussier, William Wood, Ralph Swift, David Blaha, Franklin Purrington, James Ingham, John Francis, Edward Ransom, Antone Couto, Ralph Haggard, Joseph Cohen, Russell Pollard, Malcolm Cummings, John Petty, Ed¬ mund Jones, Melvis Jones, Wallace Reynolds, Robert Furness, Earl Fisher, Albert Silva, James Gomes, Warren Gregory, Irving Purvis, Avery Stitt, Wallace Underwood. 92 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N BASEBALL The Fairhaven Baseball Team began a very tough 23 game schedule on April 16, 193 8, with a victory over the New Bed¬ ford Boy’s Club. Although quite a few games were lost, the team never gave up its fighting spirit. The boys suffered a severe setback when James McDonough, the captain, broke his finger. With the season half over, the team had a record of 3 wins, 7 defeats, and 1 tie. The following make up the 1938 baseball squad: Henry Fortin, John Silva, James McDonough, John Morgan, Andrew Pifko, Edward McDermott, Gerald Pacheco, Leo McDermott, Frank Walsh, John Whelpley, An tone Roberts, Elton Ashley, Eugene Skoneiczny, Robert Carr, John McDonough, Ernest Langevin, Jack Dylvia, Robert Foster, Leonard Macomber, Ray¬ mond Archambault, Ray Borque, Howard Odiorne, George Ghimussi, Mercaline Luiz, Manager—George Bunnell, Assistant Manager—Frank Almeida, and Coach Samuel Sezak. 93 62367 SENIOR ISSUE 19 3 8 The Gymnasium 94 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N The Cheerleaders 95 SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Fairhaven High School girls enjoyed an excellent bas¬ ketball season. This year, there was not only a varsity team, but also intramural groups, giving every enthusiastic girl an oppor¬ tunity for sport. The following is a lineup of the intramural games: The Blue team consisted of: B. Ponte, E. Sylvia, D. Smith, (Capt.), P. Ainsworth, S. Thompson, and L. Lacerda. The Black team: M. Perry, R. Heuberger (Capt.), T. Jason, V. Alvers, L. Anesti, E. Silveira, and M. Wilbur. The Green team: M. Quinn (Capt.), G. Spooner, P. Og¬ den, M. Tinkham, A. Malon, J. Chassi, C. Bradbury. The Red Team: A. Benz, N. Jason, J. Mulvey, D. Erickson (Capt.), K. Sullivan, M. Sylvia, and D. Pearce. The Yellow Team: M. Andrews, T. Prucha, G. Poenack (Capt.), S. Blechenger, L. Eldredge, D. Stevens, E. Roderick. 96 THE H U T T L E S T O N I A N GIRLS’ HOCKEY The girls’ hockey team began its season at a game with Dart¬ mouth. Ensuing contests were, on the whole, very successful. The line-up was as follows: Mary Perry, Dorothy Furtado, Evelyn Silveira, Virginia Alvers, Lucy Anesti, Katherine Sulli¬ van, Caroline Gottschalk, Elsie Handy, Emily Laronda, Norma Jason, Marjolaine Gault, Dorothy Smith, Albert Benz, Ruth Heu- berger, Alice Maloney, Thelma Jason, Gertrude Spooner, Doris Erickson, Margaret Quinn, and Marion Tinkham. There was also intramural competition, which proved to be time well spent, causing the girls to become healthier and more sports-minded. Miss Virginia Arnold, gym instructor for the girls, and Mrs. Geraldine Sylvia generously gave their ser¬ vices at the games. 97 SENIOR ISSUE 19 3 8 Airplane View of the Athletic Field 98 ADVERTISEMENTS SENIOR ISSUE— 1938 Have a Natural, Splendid Photograph Taken in the Famous Fourth Floor Studio of CHERRY CO.

THE DISAPPEARANCE OF “THE SEVEN SEAS” By ROBERT CARR T he barque, “The Seven Seas,” slipped quietly away into the fog. This boat was destined to a disaster worse than anyone had ever dreamed of. For, after the ill-fated sailing vessel had left its haven, it was never heard of again. People believed she had gone down with all hands. She was last sighted off Lome, a settlement on the coast of Africa. Let us look back into the history of the craft which appar¬ ently met such a horrible fate. “The Seven Seas” was launched on September 7, 1789 after having been built by the Charleston Boat Builders, Inc. It was purchased by John Forbes, the oil magnate, and later sold to Captain Johnson, a retired naval officer. It is at this point that we pick up the clues which, when woven together, form one of the strangest disasters ever to have been related. Captain Johnson, who had been in the naval service but a few years, found his pension very small when he retired. Be¬ cause of this he had taken what money he had saved and in¬ vested it all in “The Seven Seas”, for the purpose of trading. During two years, it seemed to his friends that he was doing excellently in the commercial world, for he lived very prosper¬ ously. Then, suddenly, for no plausible reason, he started to look older every day. Finally came news of the disappearance of his barque. At the time of the disaster, the boat was under the command of Captain Johnson’s first mate. What the cause of the disappearance was, people wished to know. The boat was a well-built, seaworthy craft, and it should have taken nothing less than a hurricane to sink it. And 8 THE DISAPPEARANCE OF “THE SEVEN SEAS” there had been no hurricane; there had been nothing except the report that she was last sighted off Africa. In the years that followed, Captain Johnson seemed to turn into an old man quickly. His death occurred about 1850, but before he died he wrote a parchment explaining the disappear¬ ance of his trading vessel. It read something like this: “The barque, ‘The Seven Seas’, which I owned, was sunk purposely by my first-mate with its full cargo of slaves still aboard. It was thus ordered by me, that if my first mate so much as sighted a patrol ship, he should not risk my name in attempting to escape, but must immediately sink the ship leaving no trace of the human cargo which it was transporting. He carried my orders out well. Signed: Daniel Johnson”. IN A CARAVAN TO THE NORTHWEST By WILFRED G. HOPWOOD D raw in your chairs for a closeup as Uncle reenacts the “con¬ quest” of the Northwest Territory, taken from England by sheer acquisition better than one hundred and fifty years ago. Little has ever been said about the important part played by Massachusetts folk in establishing that vast country. Right here in Boston in the “Bunch of Grapes Tavern,” which stood on the comer of State and Kilby streets, is where the Ohio Company of Associates was organized. It was at a meeting held in this famed tavern that Manasseh Cutler was selected to go to New York and present to Congress, then in session, the company’s plan for a colony beyond the Alleghenies, and the Ordinances af 1787. In thoroughness, their plan included not only the actual settlement, but the laws under which they desired the new colony to be governed. The effectiveness of this mild-mannered Massa¬ chusetts clergyman in persuading Congress to adopt the plan is an all too little known epoch in our history. Manasseh Cutler was a pioneer in promoting emigration to the West, and set the example by going there himself. A journey through the mountain fastnesses at that time was hazardous at any season; in mid-winter it was termed by many as foolhardy, but there was a purpose. The pioneers realized that in order to survive during the next winter they must reach their new homes in time to plant crops in the early spring. Travelling by ox team, Conestoga wagon, and on foot, they plodded westward, cutting roads where none existed, plowing dangerously through snowladen mountain passes, and impeded by every conceivable obstacle; yet they never faltered. Ahead there was a goal — a land of new promise. On April 7, 1788, they reached their goal, the site which is now Marietta, Ohio. Here was established the first civil govern- 10 IN A CARAVAN TO THE NORTHWEST ment of the Northwest Territory and for years remained the gate¬ way to the land of promise. It is to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the ordinance of ’87 that the specially created Northwest Territory celebration commission, of which President Roosevelt is the titular head, has planned to reenact the trek of the pioneers. For its purpose, it has selected a group of thirty-six college men to form a caravan party that will be nearly a year en route to cover a projected tour of 2900 miles. These thirty-six men, selected from 5000 college graduates, come from all over the United States, and represent twenty-five different colleges. Their average age is twenty-three years. These boys are under contract for one year to render their service to the United States government, for which they will receive the regular army pay of one dollar per day. When the tour is com¬ pleted next November, they will each receive a bonus of one hundred dollars. On November the first these men gathered at Fort Devens, Ayer, Massachusetts, where they have been preparing themselves to withstand the rigorous winter and the perils that may con¬ front them as they make the difficult passage. With body build¬ ing exercise over, they take to pageant rehearsals. While on their grand march to Ohio they will present a pageant nightly in the various towns where they stop. It is a historical pageant depict¬ ing e ight of the critical episodes in our nation’s formative period:. They have been rehearsing the pageant from six to eight hours daily. At Ayer the troupe has been furnished with the type of clothes that were worn at that time: moccasins; trousers of homespun or buckskin, striped with leather thongs; buckskin shirts girded about the waist with leather belts. The entire trip will last eleven months. Leaving Ipswich, the starting point, they will make tracks for Marietta, Ohio. The outfit will hike fifteen miles a day, and at that rate will reach their objective by April 7, 1938. After the party arrives at Marietta, where a gala celebration will be held, they will make a tour of the entire Northwest territory and will not return to Marietta IN A CARAVAN TO THE NORTHWEST 11 until the following November. When the entire trip is com¬ pleted they will have travelled 2900 to 3000 miles. At this point, the New Trek to the Northwest Territory will be officially over, and the boys will return to their homes, all with a wonderful story to tell, after an absence of nearly a year. OBSERVATIONS IN PANAMA By JOHN B. LEONARD I t’s about time some well-informed person gave the lie to the popular belief that Panama is a steaming jungle. Americans at large, and particularly those who reside in New England, think of the Isthmus of Pan¬ ama as a wild and wooly jungle through which, by mere geographical chance, there runs a ditch known as the Panama Canal. Such, however, is not the case. A traveler approaching the Isthmus of Panama on a steam¬ ship bound for the West Coast of the United States via the Canal, obtains his first view of Panama as the vessel nears the twin cities of Cristobal and Colon. Cristobal, which means Christopher, is located in the Canal Zone. Immediately across the boundary line separating the Zone from the Republic of Pan¬ ama lies the Atlantic coast terminal city of Colon — and Colon means Columbus. The traveler’s vessel berths at one of the eight enormous docks situated on the Canal Zone waterfront of Cristobal, half a mile up the mouth of the Canal itself. After several hours of loading and discharging cargo for trans-shipment to east coast ports of South America, the tour¬ ist’s ship begins the eight-hour transit of the Canal toward the Pacific coast cities of Balboa and Panama. A word here with regard to the Canal Zone itself. It may be news to the average American that there are no private enter¬ prises on the Canal Zone. The entire area is operated, maintained and administrated by the United States Government through a Canal Zone governor, appointed by the President from the ranks OBSERVATIONS IN PANAMA 13 of the United States Army Engineering Corps. The rank of the governor of the Canal Zone is that of a full-fledged colonel. Commissaries, operated and controlled by the United States government-owned Panama Railroad Company (established in 1848), supply the 15,000 employees of the Canal and the rail¬ road with household goods and supplies of every sort. However, Canal Zone employees are at liberty to purchase anything they desire in the hundreds of business houses operating in the Pan¬ amanian cities. A tourist’s first trip through the Panama Canal is a never- to-be-forgotten experience — but that is all one may say, for transits made after the first are apt to prove boring to the ex¬ treme. Neither time nor space permit your correspondent the op¬ portunity and privilege of relating the myriad sights and en¬ joyments awaiting the transient visitor to the Isthmus of Panama. But a word, in passing, about the magnificent Army posts located on both coasts of the Canal Zone; the touching, old-world beauty of Panama City, capital of the Republic, with its vast garden-like parks and plazas, its avenues of mission-type private homes, its scintillating night spots for recreation and diversion, its mile-long seawall, fraught with history; the centuries-old ruins at Panama le Vieja (Old Panama), sacked by Morgan, famed British pirate; the miles and miles of beaches which line the Pacific coast. Yet, the tourist who comes to Panama seems to have no eye for the beauty which is all about him. Instead, he would rather be whizzed about in completely modernized Canal Zone towns, and spend the rest of his time browsing among the counters in one of the Central Avenue stores in Panama City. Yes, that’s good for local business, but it leaves the tourist rather in the dark when a friend enquires about his impressions of Panama — the real Panama. Do not assume that cities in the Republic of Panama are not up to the minute in window-decorating, or that their mer¬ chandise is outmoded. Panama City’s electric supply system is one of the most mod¬ em in the world, and failures in the power plants occur far less 14 OBSERVATIONS IN PANAMA often than in your own New England. There is no danger of flood, no threat of heavy snows to strain and break high ten¬ sion wires, and few of the accidents which yearly befall North American cities and towns. The year-round average temperature, much to your sur¬ prise, is between 75 and 80 degrees Fahrenheit. When the thermometer registers 90 it is conceded a hot day. Think of New England’s stifling inland summers, with the mercury hitting 110 and higher in many places throughout the country. And then think of the long cool nights, at about 65 degrees, on the Isthmus of Panama, with the population, clad in cool tropical worsteds, swaying to the music of an orchestra in one of the three open-air “beer gardens” within the city. Beer garden? The title is a misnomer. In Panama a beer garden is a palatial structure of stucco, plate glass and polished marble, surmounted by a tower fifty or seventy-five feet high. In one of these the Isthmian resident may sit and sip a “long cool one” or enjoy a hearty meal of Spanish, Chinese, Hungarian or American food. Prices? Moderate — and what is more important, perhaps, to the younger generation in the Canal Zone as well as in Panama City, never a swindling cover or minimum charge. In the daytime, with the beer gardens and the night spots closed, Panama City presents an appearance of bustling activity. Modern street cars and busses take on and discharge scores of passengers, bound for work or their daily shopping. Although cars are driven on the left hand side of the road on the Isthmus, there are fewer accidents in the Republic’s capital than in any other city of equal size in the United States itself. And it is well to remember, in this connection, that the Pacific coast of the Isthmus boasts a population of nearly 170,000. Approximately 5,000 men form the National Police of Panama, and a better-trained or equipped body of men could not be found anywhere in the world. While the Republic of Panama busies itself, minding its own interests, an average of five hundred vessels a month make the transit of the Panama Canal, pouring into the coffers of the OBSERVATIONS IN PANAMA 15 United States Government a total of approximately $24,000,000 annually. At least half of this enormous sum is paid out in salaries each year to the thousands of Canal and railroad employees who make their homes and livings on the Isthmus. Is it any wonder, then, that Panama prospers? In short, Panama is the quintessence of modernity, a bee hive of activity and — to use a hackneyed phrase — a land of untold opportunity for all who wish to avail themselves of its possibilities. At all events, the “steaming jungle” fallacy should be dis¬ carded — now. THE CENTURY HOPPER By DANA MARSTON T o the casual observer, the confusion around the Fairchild airport seemed quite unexplainable. In fact, usually it seemed that nothing very important could ever happen in that sleepy little landing field. And yet, now the place was aglow with elec¬ tric lights, men were running back and forth, and great activity was in evidence everywhere. Reporters and admirers were crowding around a grinning, carrot-topped fellow of about thirty years, who stood bashfully in a corner of the little hangar. Flash¬ lights were snapping, cameras were clicking, and people shook the fellow’s hand until it must have nearly dropped off. The explanation of all this was quite simple. After ten years of hard and patient work, Red Davis had finally invented — it had a very long technical name — a gadget which per¬ mitted the aviator to set an indicator, fall asleep if he wished, and have the plane guide itself without the aid of any human hand. Congratulations over, Red tuned up the motor, and with a final wave of the hand, he braved the hubbies of the field and zoom¬ ed skyward. He climbed quite a way, and after watching the town slip slowly from vision, he set his so-called “robot”, and fell to thinking. It must have been about fifteen minutes of flying in this manner, when Red looked over the side, and to his amazement, caught sight of a huge city, which he had never before seen or known the existence of, spread out below. He nosed his ship down, looked below him, and there was the most elaborate and thoroughly mystifying airport he had ever seen in his life. The field was covered with a glossy black composition, something like polished slate, and the hangar was a huge mod- THE CENTURY HOPPER 17 ernistic building, with great rolling doors. As his landing gear hit the surface, a thousand various spotlights seemed to swing from the evening dusk, and center their blue white glare on him. From a cone shaped tower, atop the hangar, a green light switched on and a voice rang over the field: “Strange ship on runway fifteen. Hangar nineteen A. Fifty-six.” Bewildered by this barrage of numbers which meant abso¬ lutely nothing to him, Red watched in silence as a little shell shaped contraption, bearing the number fifty-six, seeming to come from nowhere, appeared on a single rail, and, evidently controlled from the tower, automatically hooked onto the plane and began drawing it rapidly towards one of the hangar com¬ partments. Dazed at even the mere thought of all this, he sat and watched the doors disappear silently so that the plane might enter. As soon as his entrance was effected, the doors rolled slowly shut. Red cast a glance at the place, noting its spa¬ ciousness. He could see thru glass compartments many other planes, the extensive streamlining and style of which made his look out of date. Two mechanics appeared and eyed him curiously, until one finally asked where he came from. “Fairchild, New Jersey,” responded Red. “Fairchild, Fairchild,” muttered the man, “I don’t believe I know of the place.” Not replying, Red stood thinking a minute, and finally, re¬ signing himself to the conditions, he asked his way out. The mechanic motioned him into a car, which turned out to be a form of elevator which carried them rapidly to the street entrance of the building. Red had by this time become used to strange things, but a glance at the sky topped all previous sights. It was literally full of planes, and every so often, in a block arrange¬ ment, was a balloon with a grey-coated policeman in it. Across the balloon stretched the words, “Sky Police No. 93.” Another look at his surroundings brought to Red’s eye the impressive pan¬ orama of the city, composed of ultra-modern buildings outlined against the evening sky. Airflow automobiles and bullet-shaped street cars shot by, some above him, some on his street level, and some even being seen below him through a very wide glass side¬ walk. 18 THE CENTURY HOPPER All of a sudden, Red noticed people staring at him and laughing at his confusion. Deciding that this city was definitely not the place for him, he ran back into the hangar, and after hunting around he found section 19A. His plane was once again drawn by the little 56 on to the runway. The prop kicked over, and the plane rolling swiftly over the glistening surface, he was soon in the air. Circling over the airport for a last look at this mystery city, he saw painted on the hangar roof, “F. C. A. Air-drome.” But the letters in the corner nearly startled him out of his wits: “Constructed 2037 A. D. Coleman Brothers.” Suddenly the home field appeared from the haze. Then, all at once, Red realized what had happened. He put his ship down on the far corner, taxied to the shed, and hopped out of the cramped cockpit. Bob, the town’s lone plane mechanic ran out asking, “Haul ’er over?” Red’s only reply was, “Bob, did you ever realize what strange tricks a sleeping mind can perform!” RECOLLECTION By MALCOLM CUMMINGS There’s an island green That I have seen, Not many miles away; Where the sky is blue, And men are few; Where snowy sea-gulls play. (I used to live there— My heart does yet.) From that blue bay Love sailed away, Leaving me behind her; And I have gone, Fled with the dawn, Away from thinking of her. (I used to live there— My heart does yet.) FOOTBALL HIGHLIGHTS By JOSEPH COHEN T he Fairhaven High School Football season opened aus- X piciously in September with a large squad out for the first prac¬ tice session. In the general rush of enthusiasm over the heavy team which was assembled, many forgot that some of the greatest players ever to matriculate at Fairhaven had been lost by gradua¬ tion, and that those who were to take their places were inexperienced. In spite of this handicap, and despite the fact that, because of the ch ange from the light team of ’36 to the heavy team of ’37, many new plays had to be learned and many old ones forgotten, a fairly successful season was enjoyed. The same fans who groaned when a plucky Dartmouth eleven held a heavily favored Blue outfit to a draw, were thrilled while the home forces routed Taunton, sighed when, in a last minute attack, Durfee tied Fairhaven, watched a team which had been outplayed from the first whistle to the half rise up and pass an East Providence team dizzy, sat stunned at the Whitman upset, laughed while Fairhaven pushed a Barnstable outfit, which couldn’t pass or rush all over the field, and cheered when Fairhaven administered to Attleboro its first defeat. In the New Bedford game a fighting Fairhaven squad stopped a powerful Crimson attack until the last part of the fourth quarter. It has been an exciting season, and one which has had more than its share of thrills. We are proud of the team and of its coach, and we hope for a still better season next year. SWING MUSIC! HOW LONG WILL IT LIVE? By TOWNER M. SMITH I n the long annals of American College and Prep school youth, there is undoubtedly no one subject that has so completely dominated the scene as that of Swing Music. On the campus of any school one can easily distinguish the varied arguments for their favorite swing pieces and swing bands. But, of all the existing arguments, two that really stand out are the dif¬ ferences in opinion as to just where swing music originated and just how long it will last. Before going into the act of prophe¬ sying, I shall endeavour to show you from where and when this recent panorama of musical interpretation sprouted. Many students of Swingology claim that swing was born with the appearance of the famous “Dixie Land Jazz Band” way down south in 1916. They base their idea on the fact that it was this group of musicians that first started the now famous “Jam Sessions”. Respecting this idea, I believe that our scources of swing have come from much more deeply rooted and ancient origins than such a recent date as 1916. In fact, I can commence converting you to my way of thinking by relating that an old negro, whose only two possessions were an old mule and a brok¬ en down piano, beat out the most famous swing piece ever com¬ posed — the incomparable “St. Louis Blues” — two years before Dixie was vibrating to its famous Jazz Band. Swing is actually nothing more than very fast Jazz. Jazz we know is fast music, so by Geometry we have it defined as ultra fast music; specifically, jazz is a piece of music set on paper in a definite formula, whereas “swing” is the method of playing any piece of music, whether it be “Basin Street Blues” or a Chopin Nocturne; it never burns but it gets plenty “hot.” To produce these synthetic feelings in our soul of music, all of the A-l leaders of the popular orchestras have had to turn the pages of music back a great many years to find compositions that lend themselves SWING MUSIC! HOW LONG WILL IT LIVE? 21 readily to their swing desires. The most popular exponent of swing today, that tippy, tenacious, trombone tooter Tommy Dor¬ sey makes not a few coppers turning out “hot” and real versatile arrangements of the old Classics. He has taken arrange¬ ments all the way from Gershwin to Wagner and back again. If good old Johanny Strauss knew that his famed “Blue Danube” is one of the real sizzling jazzed up frames of today, he would probably turn inside out in his tomb. Therefore, all the real “swellagent” swing tunes of today are nothing more than the fundamental elements that the real old masters have been setting down for the last thousand years. Even Duke Ellington and the rest of our swinging ivory key men are doing takeoffs on the style of Sergei Rachmaninoff. Last Spring another real dyed-in-the-wool professor of Swing, Raymond Scott, turned out — with the exception of “Or¬ gan Grinder Swing” — the most popular and widely adopted swing piece of today. It is called “Twilight in Turkey” and has a definite connection with the weird and enticing strains of an Asiatic snake charmer. And, there have been snake charmers in existence longer than twenty years. While we are on the topic of weird tunes being adopted to swing, let us not forget the soul-stirring rhythms of the Spanish Rhumba, an age-old insti¬ tution. The white race has hundreds of excellent swing men, but none of them can compare wtih the real “hot boys” of the dark skin vintage. If we desire to be technical, we may point out how dark skinned savages have been dancing to breath-taking rhy¬ thms for a good many centuries in Africa. These people seem to have this jacked-up Jazz right in their souls, and it is indeed a very foolish apprehension to believe that such a deep-seeded feeling could be injected during the process of one generation. The old negro spirituals as well as the old peasant folk-songs of Europe may be played very successfully by any swing band with very little alteration. We can, therefore, easily see that swing is by no means a recent innovation but an outgrowth of a great many years of successive musical steps that have come from the far flung cor- 22 SWING MUSIC! HOW LONG WILL IT LIVE? ners of the earth — from Hoboken to Timbuktu, and from Fair- haven to California. Now that I have contributed my unsolicited bit to the dis¬ cussion, I only think it fair to come down to facts, and try to foresee just how long this billion dollar business of swing will con¬ tinue to hold sway. There are those on one side of the fence who claim that swing will continue on indefinitely as a firmly estab¬ lished institution in the halls of American Music. On the other side there are those that claim swing will die a natural death within a twelfth month and the popular band leaders will return to the sweet and soft swaying rhythms of two years ago. After hearing the views of the latter, I am inclined to agree with them, and I am going to try to relate these thoughts to you. It was about a year ago that a smart New York Jew rose to fame on the crest of swing, and was immediately christened the “King of Swing”. At that time his band was the most popular that ever hit the American jazzical music front. He answered to the name of Benny Goodman, and his group was composed of excellent musicians. In it were Lionel Hampton, Teddy Wilson, and a galaxy of other swing experts. Even though he is still popular, the majority contend that his popularity is on a definite wane. The other side says that even though Goodman is declin¬ ing, there are two or three old bands that have enjoyed a new birth with swing. The best examples of thes e are Bob Crosby, Chick Webb, and Count Basie. In reply to that do not forget that such sweet music bands as Guy Lombardo and Fred Waring are still on top, as well as the rise of a host of new bands that play the slower music during this era of swing. Examples of these are Kay Kaiser, Sammy Kaye, Bert Block, Horace Heidt, and George Olsen. The swing specialists point out how Messrs. Dorsey, Goodman, and Webb pack their dance halls to over¬ flowing every night. In answer we say that same holds true with the slower bands. It is also worth mentioning that the New York World’s Fair Committee for 1939 has appointed Guy Lom¬ bardo’s Royal Canadians as the official Fair Orchestra because it believes he is more likely to be still enjoying top ranking in two years than any other band. The “swingie boys” tell us that they have such a grip on the country as to bring an all girl swing band SWING MUSIC! HOW LONG WILL IT LIVE? 23 to the front — Ina Rae Hutton. In response we say do not forget the soft and alluring melodies of Phil Spitalny’s all girl band. They fire back by telling us that every Saturday night there is a whole half hour of radio devoted entirely to swing. To muffle that report we could reply that there are about a half dozen one hour programs devoted to opera and a great number of popular programs that never even mention the word swing. We could argue on till dawn, but, if we did, we would not get our nightly eight hours. After hearing those terrifying trump¬ et screeches that some people call music, I will end this epistle by giving you a motto for all peace loving men. “The man who invented swing ought to”. THE ORIGIN OF THE RING FINGER By MARJORIE ARNOLD These excerpts, translated by third year Latin students, are selections from Attic Nights”, a scrapbook written in the second century A. D. by Aulus Gellius, a Roman lawyer, for the amti-sement of his children. I have heard that the ancient Greeks had a ring which they wore in dignity on the left hand, on the fourth finger. Wearing such a ring was also a custom among the Roman men. The reason for this is explained to us in Apion’s book, “The Egyptians.” He relates that when the human body was cut open, as is the custom in Egypt, called anatomy by the Greeks, a nerve was discovered which reached from the finger of which we are speaking, to the heart of man. Th erefore, the Greeks thought that this finger deserved honor above the rest, and for this reason they wore a ring upon it to show its dis¬ tinction. THE FIRST PUBLIC LIBRARY By WARREN GREGORY I t is said that Pisistratus was the first to make possible a public library, by offering books on the liberal arts for public reading at Athens. The Athenians little by little increased this sup¬ ply of books eagerly and carefully. But later, when Xerxes seized Athens, he carried off these books to Persia. This was after all the city had been burned, except the citadel. Then, after many years, King Seleucus, called Nicanor, ar- THE FIRST PUBLIC LIBRARY 25 ranged to return the books to Athens intact. About seven hun¬ dred thousand volumes were either collected or copied in Egypt by king Ptolemy; but while this state was being plundered, they were burned by the auxiliary troops of the first Alexan¬ drian war. They were destroyed by accident, not by intention. THE CIPHER CODE OF JULIUS CAESAR By THOMAS HURLEY T here are several books of epistles which Caesar sent to Oppius and Cornelius, who looked after his affairs in Caesar’s absence. In these communications, single letters of the alphabet are found which one would think were placed at random, for they form no words. However, the writers had agreed among themselves beforehand a secret way of changing the position of the letters. In writing, a certain letter was substituted for another, but in reading it was returned to its own position and the meaning was restored. Just as I have said, the substitution of letters (A for B, B for C) was decided in advance by them. In fact, the note¬ book of Probus explains carefully the secret meaning of the letters used in Caesar’s writings. ROMAN GEOMETRY By JOSEPH COHEN T here are two branches of geometry: solid and plane. In plane geometry there are two dimensions: length and width. Among the figures included in this branch are triangles and quadrilaterals; these have area, but are without altitude, as com¬ pared to figures in solid geometry which possess this quality. There are many definitions of a line, that of Marcus Varre being the following: “A line possesses length but is devoid of width and altitude.” Euclid, more briefly, said, “A line is a breadthless length.” SOMETHING ABOUT GLOVES By NANCY TERRY W hen archaeologists were searching for relics left from the cave dwellers, they found that even in these ancient times, gloves made of leather and sewn with leather thread were worn. The Greeks wore gloves chiefly as a protection for their hands in doing hard work, while the Romans wore them as ornaments, and as a sign of high rank. Although something in the form of a protection of the hands against the cold must have always been needed by the northern nations, gloves did not become an important article of dress until after the Norman Conquest. Richard Coeur de Lion, who tried to pass through Austria unnoticed on his way home from the Crusade, was recognized and captured because of his beautiful gloves. In early times, warriors threw down their gauntlets in chal¬ lenge of other warriors; a lady thought nothing of throwing her gloves into an arena filled with beasts to test the devotion of her sweetheart, who was expected to jump in and fetch them back, very much as a pet dog might. On one occasion, the suitor rescued the gloves and, returning unharmed, threw them with scorn and contempt in his lady friend’s face because she doubted his love for her. A more amiably disposed lady would allow her knight to wear her glove in his helmet when he tilted in the lists. As early as 1770, gloves were manufactured in America. They were as long as sleeves, reaching from the shoulder to the fingertips, which were left exposed. Gloves of the nineteenth century were crude and clumsy, being cut with shears from pasteboard patterns. Gloves have actually been made from spiders’ silk. It takes 700,000 spiders to produce a pound of silk. From Limer¬ ick, Ireland came gloves so fine that they fitted into a walnut shell. SOMETHING ABOUT GLOVES 27 Gloves are also conspicuous in literature. Xenophon notes the fur gloves of the Persians; Rebecca makes Jacob a pair from kid in the Bible times: the scene of “The Fair Maiden of Perth” by Walter Scott is laid in a city of glovemakers. Fulton County, New York, holds first place in glovemaking in America. The impetus of an early start, due to the fact that some Scotch glovemakers settled here, was the chief factor causing the industry to locate in this section. In the cities of Gloversville and Johnstown, Fulton County, are numerous fac¬ tories. Many householders, who have barns or other buildings, utilize them for the manufacture of gloves. CLAUSTROPHOBIA By BEVERLY AUGUSTA O utside, the wind howled as tho pursued by a hundred devils. The rain was coming down in torrents, making the fallen leaves like so many banana peels — slippery! What a night for a murder! ! and I was alone! Outside the windows, the high hedges rustled against the window pane. As I practically flew to pull down the window shades, the telephone bell intruded on this picture of gloom. I answered it. A crude voice asked, “Is Mr. Freeman in?” I replied that he was out of town for the evening, and that if there was a message I would take it. But the voice said, “No,” and shut down the receiver. Misgivings poured into my mind. ’Sposin’ he (the voice) were a thief, and only wanted to know who was to be in that evening. What could I do against a big brute of a robber? Oh yes! All kinds of ideas popped into my mind. But no intruder appeared, and I sat reading and listening to the radio until late in the evening. Well, maybe I would have been glad to see him. I’ve often wondered what I’d do if I did come in contact with one of our so-called public enemies. Scream, probably. THE COWARD By NATHALIE TALLMAN t rphey had called him a coward! He turned the A thought over and over in his mind. A coward! That morning at practice he had backed out, out of the most important game of the season. Why? He had seen his brother, breath knocked out of him in a big game, fighting, fighting for life — and he had lost. That was why, and they called him a coward. The big game! Crowds cheering, yelling with excitement. The teams running onto the field stamping their feet and warm¬ ing up. The kick off! The game progressed, rapidly, wildly. What was the matter? Why didn’t they fight? The score: 6-0 in favor of the opposing team. Twelve to nothing! It was awful. He sat with his head in his hands, not daring to look. He groaned, watching his team — that was it, h is team! He raised his head like a Viking crowned. Five minutes later he ran onto the field, ready for a fight, a fight for the team. The stands went wild. Out he went, amid deafening cheers, to win. Signals: 1-2-3-4! Off he went, down on the ten yard line. Try again. Touchdown! To the wild screaming of the crowds he kicked over the goal post. On went the game, up climbed the score until the game was over, and won. A wall of people crowded around him. They raised him triumphantly to the gym. That night he dreamt. People were screaming coward! coward! coward! Suddenly he stood up in the middle of the mass and they disappeared, to be replaced by a scoreboard: F—24; N—12, and a cheering crowd —cheering for him, and the vic¬ tory. He was no longer a coward.

LIONAL WILLIAMS, Big Game Hunter W ith black coils glistening evilly in the fading sunlight, with no apparent sign of motion, in all-pervading silence — it lay there. I approached it warily. Little realizing the tre¬ mendous power in those dormant loops, I began my task. I grasped one end firmly. The first twist wrought a confused twitching throughout the entire length of my opponent. As I progressed he spat at me; indeed, he continued spitting during the whole fight. By throwing loops about my legs and arms, loops very difficult to disengage, he pressed me hard; but through it all I was conscious that I was winning. At one time a flailing bight all but laid me low, and while struggling to regain my balance I received a noose around my neck. With the ease born of practice, I slipped clear. We trampled a large tract of ground in our struggles, and all the time that hateful thing uttered horrid sounds. Finally, having tossed and tied the beastly foe I wiped the perspiration from my brow and laughed at it. I had known from the start that I could coil that twisty garden hose. A TRIP TO QUEBEC By WALTER APPERSON I t was time for our vacation. We had been long in deciding where to go as some of our family wished to see Niagara Falls, others the Saguenay River region. When we started it had begun to rain but even that could not dampen our spirits. The first night was spent at Woodstock in some delightful cabins where there were a swimming pool, miniature golf, shuffle board, and many other amusements. The next day we went to the Flume, Franconia Notch, and the Old Man of the Mountain, and by night we were in Canada at Sherbrook, in the province of Quebec. All the menus were in French, and we had a hard time getting what we wanted for food. The following morning we started very early so that it was only afternoon when we got to Levis on the south banks of the Saint Lawrence River, just opposite the city of Quebec. We drove our car onto the ferry and were soon across the river. The new city is situated on the top of a bluff. Below is the old part, with narrow streets and many docks. The upper city is 300 feet higher than the lower city. One way to get from one level to another is by an elevator which runs down the side of the bluff. Our first morning was spent in seeing the city in a calash drawn by one horse. The driver pointed out several cathedrals and statues; also the plains of Abraham. While on the palisade, one day, we saw the gigantic ocean liner “Empress of Britain” steam up the Saint Lawrence on its way to Montreal. While traveling back home we stopped and spent a few days at Old Orchard Beach, Maine. After having had a very enjoyable vacation, home proved best after all. SOME SMOKE AND VAPORINGS By HERBERT F. MACY, JR. M uch has been said and written upon the ill effects of tobacco smoking, but little has been put forth concern¬ ing the general ineffic¬ iency of a nicotine ad¬ dict. Therefore, I am re¬ solved to fill this empty niche in the great hall of literature, both be¬ cause I detest empty spaces, and because I nothing better to do. The tobacco smoker may be classified as follows: pipe smokers, cigar smokers, who grow in two varieties — cigar smok¬ ers and cigar smoker-chewers, and the insipid cigarette smokers. Some inhale, some do not; some ignore fumes, some wear them as armor. Let us consider the cigarette smoker. He averages a half package a day, that is, ten cigarettes. To light a cigarette takes between ten and thirty seconds, although it has been done in less by an expert. The average time is probably twenty-five and one- fifth seconds. This multiplied by ten comes to two hundred and fifty-two seconds or four and two tenths minutes. All this is sheer waste! Many people drive while smoking. Ah! The danger of it! At forty miles per hour, one covers eighty-eight feet in one sec¬ ond. Hence, while lighting a cigarette one travels 22,176 feet 36 SOME SMOKE AND VAPORINGS before one’s attention returns to the road and one’s hands to the wheel. Now do you see why there are so many accidents? Now we come to the cigar user. The first variety and also most abundant, is the cigar smoker, who exudes an interesting and sometimes exhilarating aroma. A cigar is large, powerful, and vivid. Only the most masculine of women are ever to be observed partaking of a smoke thereof. A cigar smoker lacks the masticating prowess that distin¬ guishes the cigar smoke-chewer. However, he may have re¬ deeming features. I can even now recall my maternal great¬ grandfather. He was a smoker of no mean ability. He could blow square smoke rings, and sold them as models at which lesser mortals might aim. However, he was slow. The cigar smoker-chewer is a vulgar, rabid type. He sel¬ dom gets far in this world, because his habit impedes speech, and , therefore, he is greatly handicapped. Lastly, we come to the pipe smoker, who holds a position of eminence among nicotine addicts. Yet he, too, is inefficient. The time required for the satisfactory lighting of a pipe varies from forty seconds to a minute, but the smoker seldom averages more than five pipes a day. Thus we see that he spends two seconds less per day in igniting his smokes than does the inferior cigarette addict. However, it is still wasteful. The fumes of a pipe are very dense, and possess that indefin¬ able je ne sais quoi that makes a pipe so fragrant and so virile. Pipe smokers often use glasses to see through their own smoke screen. Obviously, if they did not smoke, this bit of apparatus would not be needed. We approach the subject from still another angle. Have you ever seen a pipe smoker hurry? The answer is inevitable. No. A pipe smoker is like a clam — he opens and closes, and that is all. He is calm. He lets the world whirl by. He stagnates. Smokers of all varieties are inefficient. They are a men¬ ace on the highway, and a deadening influence off it. Nicotine is worse than alcohol or opium, because it is so insidious. Do you hope to leave behind you foot prints in the sands of time, or are you going up in smoke? THE DAWNING OF THIRTEEN SEASONS By GEORGE R. PROCTOR I n January are cold, breezy dawns. The sky is blue as ice, the air crisp and clear. On the spruce limb is the caerulean flash of a jay, hunting for breakfast in the frozen morning light. In Febuary are snowy dawns. The chilly, powdery flakes sift in upon the window-sill, melt, and form a puddle on the floor. Outside is a still, muffled world, insulated by a fluffy white quilt. A line of polka dots shows where a hungry squirrel has passed. In March comes the thaw. The rumble and thud of snow, sliding from the roof; the steady gurgle of water through hidden slushy courses; the warm misty air; all these are the mortal wounds of winter at the birth of spring. Later, there are windy dawns, when the warm, damp gale sweeps up the debris of winter and air-conditions the world for renewed life. On many an April dawn there is a muffled hush. The only sounds that break the indistinct grey stillness are the ticking drip, drip, dripping of condensed moisture from the gutter, and the distant mournful note of a fog-horn, warning mariners of hid¬ den, silent dangers. Little beads and globules of moisture make opals and onyxes of myriad vague twigs and pebbles. In May one is awakened by the reckless, throaty warble of the robins, gladdening the warm, damp breezes. The honeyed odor of apple blossoms pervades the atmosphere, and the world overflows with glorious spring sunshine. What is so depressing as a rainy morning in June? The roses droop their silken petals, and clench their buds like fists; the birds are sad and silent; the tender greenery bows down and weeps; all nature sniffles. 38 THE DAWNING OF THIRTEEN SEASONS Dawn after a July thunderstorm is glorious. The air has been washed; the leaves are scrubbed and shining; Mother Nature rears her children well, though firmly. On some hellish August mornings nature is breathless and stifled, seemingly lacking even strength to fan herself. A cicada buzzes in his shrill, ghastly monotone; a cricket creaks weakly; grasshoppers click in the shadowless blazing fields; a distant cloud silently mocks. On a stormy September dawn, the wild gale wrestles with the trees, and blusters noisily around the house, tearing at the shutters and whistling by the door. The rowdy blast plays tricks with hats, and tears off the crying leaves. The sun hides in terror. A clear crisp dawn in October brings a change over all nature. The withered annuals in the garden; the blackened leaves; the turning foliage of maples; the film of ice on the puddle in the driveway; all these are tokens of the coming of frost. A cold, grey November dawn is depressing. The penetrating chill; the bare fingers of trees; the grey sea; the grey sky; the barren earth; all these are the vanguard of winter. Even the sun hides his face from the desolation. In December, dawn comes at night, amid the clattering of milk bottles. LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS Norma M. Banks (page 6) who has written Ships That Pass” is an excellent poetess and has displayed her talent in previous issues of this maga¬ zine. She is a Senior and was head drum major during the 1937 football season. The vice president of his Junior Class and one of the Junior reporters for The Huttlestonian is Robert T. Carr (page 7). Robert was also a mem¬ ber of the 1937 football squad. Wilfred G. Hopwood (page 9) has an interesting history. Several years ago he left school to work, and at the age of twenty-six, he returned in order to receive his high school diploma. He will graduate in ’39. A graduate of the Class of ’33 at F. H. S., John B. Leonard (page 12) is at present employed on the editorial staff of the Panama-American news¬ paper located in Panama City. Mr. Leonard was an assistant on The Huttles¬ tonian staff in 1932 and associate editor in the Spring and Fall of 1933. The Century Hopper” (page 16), is written by the president of the Fairhaven High School Band, Dana P. Marston. He is a member of the Class of ’39. Malcolm Cummings, who is usually devoted to the more humorous side of school life, has suddenly, so it seems, changed his ideals, and one views his first attempt at poetry on page 18. Towner M. Smith, (page 20), is a newcomer at F. H. S. He comes from New York and will graduate with the Class of 1938. The Latin excerpts (page 24) are translations by four of the Junior Class Latin students: Marjorie R. Arnold, who was a stick twirier during the 1937 football season; Warren T. Gregory, who showed such talent in first year Latin, which he began in his Sophomore year, that he was allowed to skip the second year entirely and go on to third year Latin; Joseph M. Cohen, who is the reputed power behind the throne of the school paper; and Thomas J. Hurley, treasurer of the school paper, and a member of the 1937 football squad. One of the Junior reporters for this magazine is Nancy S. Terry (page 26), who held a similar position during her Sophomore year. At present she is on the staff of the Standard-Times. Beverly F. Augusta (page 27) came to Fairhaven High School from New Bedford and is a member of the Class of ’39. 40 LIST OF CONTRIBUTORS Nathalie F. Tallman, (page 28), represents the Sophomore Class as re¬ porter for The Huttlestonian. The staff of this magazine is chosen for their writing ability and scholastic merit in English. Jean Marks, who returned to F. H. S. for post-graduate work, has written a poem on page 29. She was very active in the school orchestra. Another of the Junior reporters for this magazine, William L. Smyth, has demonstrated his ability on page 33. He writes interesting poetry, too. The Freshman Class is represented in The Huttlestonian by Walter H. Apperson (page 34). Walter also reported for this magazine when he was in the eighth grade. Herbert F. Macy (page 3 5) is a member of the Class of ’38 and is an assistant editor of the school paper. The editor-in-chief of The Huttlestonian , George R. Proctor (page 37), is a member of the present graduating class, is on the school paper staff, and is secretary of the F. H. S. Debating Society.
