For some of us that may change into âGood-byeâ, and for most of the underclassmen it simply means for the summer vacaÂŹ tion. It is often said that we appreÂŹ ciate a thing most when we are about to part from it. To look back over the past school year and review the activities, the good times, and the routine school days, is to regret that it is ending. Underclassmen, learn to appreciate the fact that you are comÂŹ ing back again to enjoy at least anÂŹ other year of happy, carefree, high- school life. We know that the Seniors are going to show their appreciation of G. H. S. by showing a constant inÂŹ terest in it and by making this partÂŹ ing a mere âAu Revoirâ. K. F. â28 6 THE EXPONENT APPRECIATION OF MRS. BURKE I wonder if there is a girl in G. H. S. who, sometime during the cherÂŹ ished four years spent within its walls, hasnât said to her friends, âIsnât Mrs. Burke just a dear?â That is the very feeling within the hearts of all of the girls. No matter what our troubles are, Mrs. Burke is always glad to hear them and console us, or help us to make our decisions. In some way she manages to think of just the nicest things to say at just the right time. Every morning she is there in the locker rooms to greet each of us separately with a most cheering smile. If we have an ache or a pain we always know to whom to go for reliefâIn short, she is none other than a âSchool Motherâ to each and every one of us. Mrs. Burke, we wish to let you know a little of the appreciation in the hearts of the girls of âTwenty- Eight,ââyou have been a most imÂŹ portant factor in making our four years spent here happier. E. H. â28 THE FUTURE Now that our school days in old G. H. S. are over, a sense of emptiÂŹ ness and loneliness creeps over us, leaving us like wanderers who have come to the edge of the cliff by the sea. With us, though, it is the sea of life that we face; it is for us and us alone to decide whether we shall embark courageously on that greatest of all seas or whether we shall hesiÂŹ tate and finally turn our faces landÂŹ ward. Life is but a short day at most and during that time we all play a great game of chance. In our course there are innumerable shoals and reefs that are ever waiting to wreck our good ship âAmbitionâ. Whether or not we dock in Port Success deÂŹ pends entirely on our skill as pilots and the seaworthiness of our ship. Therefore, since our journeys for the most part are to be long and rough, see to it that your chosen ship is seaÂŹ worthy, that it is provisioned well with hope and courage, and last and most important of all, be certain that you are qualified to be a pilot for that particular voyage. 1928 BIDS FAREWELL TO DEAR OLD GREENFIELD HIGH We, the class of â28, after four short years of work and pleasure, are to go down in the pages of hisÂŹ tory like our predecessors. Some of the underclassmen, partiÂŹ cularly the freshmen, seem to think that we are over-joyed at the prosÂŹ pect of not coming back next fall and that graduation brings about much happiness. Ah! no, it is just the opposite. It is very hard to understand the real meaning of the situation until our own graduation arrives. It is true, however, that the past week has been one round of parties and banquets, but our joys have never faltered. Graduation has come and gone. Some of us are to go out into the world while others, more forÂŹ tunate, are to continue their educaÂŹ tion. We, the class of â28, will rarely assemble together again and it is with this in mind that we today bid fareÂŹ well to Mr. Smith, our devoted prinÂŹ cipal, the faculty who have so faithÂŹ fully guided us on our way, and our beloved schoolmates. M. B. â28 FAREWELL, SENIORS! The portals of G. H. S. have openÂŹ ed to let another senior body take its place among the alumni. The class of â28 has always given its best whether in the classroom or on the field, and G. HI S. is mighty proud of them. The school wonât seem quite the same next fall without their sober mien in Senior Alley. But whether they continue their search for knowledge or take a place in the busy whirl of life, rest assured that G. H. S. and its student body is behind them with the best wishes for success. J. P. â29 PRESENTATION OF CLASS GIFT Each year it has been a custom for the graduating classes of G. H. S. to leave a gift to the school. In beÂŹ half of the Class of 1928, I take great pleasure in presenting this sum of money to complete the fund startÂŹ ed by the Class of 1927 for a new state flag to be placed in the audiÂŹ torium. E. C. â28 James Ballou â28 THE EXPONENT 7 ACCEPTANCE OF CLASS GIFT In behalf of the school, I accept with pleasure this gift from the gradÂŹ uating class of 1928. The time has come when your members must sepaÂŹ rate, either to pursue education or to go down in the valley and work. Scattered though you may be, this token I hold, will ever serve to bind your hearts and minds to G. H. S. in future years. May we hope that when you leave Greenfield High, you will carry on as loyally and honorably as you have in the past four years. Janies Parker â29 PRESIDENTâS WELCOME Parents, Teachers and Friends: It becomes my duty and privilege, in behalf of the class of 1928, to welÂŹ come you to these exercises. Classmates: For four years we have marched along together, and it is hard to reÂŹ alize that soon we are to drift apart. There is always a great tendency to forget one another, after graduation, but may the friendship and loyalty which we have acquired during our high school days ever bind us toÂŹ gether. The future opens a different vista to each of us, but wherever we are or whatever we do, let it be our duty and our joy to keep unsullied the honor of our school and of our class. Tames Ballou â28 ESSAY AND VALEDICTORY Lifters âNot Leaners Always the world has had both lifters and leaners: Lifters to mainÂŹ tain and further civilization; leaners to hinder its progress. In the early days of Christianity had the world lacked liftersâhad the Christian martyrs been leaners insteadâChrist would have died in vain. Such was not the divine purÂŹ pose. Throughout all the centuries daring explorers have ventured into worlds unknown. As their brothers, content to plod the old paths, acceptÂŹ ed the decisions of scientists, so might these bold men have done. But, doubting some scientific principles and formulating new ones in their minds, they pushed on. Every early American colony had its lifters as well as its leaners. ForÂŹ tunately most of the pioneers in our country were so impressed by the splendor of its natural beauty and by the opportunities presented throughÂŹ out its vast extent that they, the lifters, determined to endure the unÂŹ avoidable sufferings and hardships. As the trying periods of exploraÂŹ tion and colonization drew forth leaders, so did other critical times, not only in our land but also in others. How impossible it would be to mention all the men and women whose names are written in the Hall of Fame! I shall attempt to recall to your minds only a few of them. In time of need Rome had its CaeÂŹ sar, the American colonies, George Washington, England, its Wellington, and the allied countries. Marshal Foch. However, it is during years of peace that the world makes its greatÂŹ est progress. Homer, the most famous epic poet of all countries, sang his songs after the Trojan War. The Greeks brought to perfection Venus de Milo, the Winged Victory, and the noble figures of the Parthenon in times of peace. Raphael, ranked among the best of painters, has left us the Sistine Madonna which emÂŹ bodies the highest art. In the cause of science we find Galileo, who first enunciated the correct laws for fallÂŹ ing bodies, and Pasteur whose work along the lines of bacteriology has been of such inestimable value in exÂŹ tending the life of man. In Buck- land, just over the Shelburne Hills, is the home of Mary Lyon, a pioneer in furthering the cultural education of women. Within a few hoursâ ride, in the town of Adams, Susan B. AnÂŹ thony, a leader in the woman sufÂŹ frage movement, was born. An outÂŹ standing example of a lifter of today is Charles Lindbergh, the hero of a lone transatlantic flight, the messenÂŹ ger of good-will to the Central and South American countries. His modÂŹ est acceptance of the plaudits of the people and his unspoiled simplicity mark him as a model for youth. Before the close of this year the American people will have elected a president. Among the candidates mentioned are two men whose lives are somewhat parallel, Alfred Smith and Herbert Hoover. The former, starting at the age of fifteen from his modest home in the shad.ow of Brooklyn Bridge to help his mother in the upbringing of her fatherless 8 THE EXPONENT family, has proved himself such a lifter that today one of the leading political parties of the country conÂŹ siders him as its possible choice for the highest office in the land. HerÂŹ bert Hoover, unlike the self-educated governor of the state of New York, has had the advantage of a collej education. But, like Alfred Smith, he passed his early years in meagre circumstances and worked his way through college despite many obÂŹ stacles. The lives of these two men show that from the ranks of the humÂŹ ble and poor are recruited the men of ideals, the lifters, whose names live throughout the ages. Everyone has an inherent tendenÂŹ cy to be independent of others, to think and do things for himself. If developed this inclination becomes the characteristic of a lifter. To fulÂŹ fill one ' s part as a lifter in this world it is not necessary âto reach the heights by great men reached and kept.â Not to everyone is given the strength of mind and body required to go forth to battle against the armies of the enemy, the powers of the land, the sea, and the air, to paint elevating pictures, to write inspiring works, or to mould statues of lifeÂŹ like beauty. The names of many with almost unsurmountable physical difficulties are found on the register of the truly great. Helen Keller is a living example of one who is helpÂŹ ing the world through sheer will power to be a better, happier place in which to live. And, after all, has not every man or woman who has been truly a lifter, not a leaner, made this world the better for having lived? Valedictory ClassmatesâAt the close of our grammar school course you and I had for our motto âLifters, Not Lean- ers . How much appreciation we had for our superintendent, our school board, and our townspeople when we entered this buildingâthen just completed! Due to their comÂŹ bined efforts and financial generosity wc, the youth of Greenfield, had been given every opportunity to work amidst elevating surroundings. For our principal and his staff, who have worked unsparingly with us for four years, who have had an ever present desire to send us forth as âLifters, not Leaners, our hearts are filled with gratitude. But gratitude. Classmates, is not enough. We must show our beneÂŹ factors the success of their efforts. Some of us will make a mark that all the world can see and praise. To everyone of us, in his own niche, is given the opportunity to make a mark that those nearest and dearest to him can recognize and appreciate. To everyone of us, in his own sphere, will come the opportunity to be a lifter, not a leaner. Julia Bulman ' 28 SALUTATORY To our parents and relatives, to our friends, and to the faculty, we, the Class of 1928, extend a sincere greeting on the occasion of our Class Day exercises. We have come to the end of our four high school years. Much gratitude and many thanks are due to the people of Greenfield, who have made it possible for us to obtain our education in such a fine building. To the teachers we are indebted for their kindness and patience. Now comes the parting of the ways. Each one of us will go forth to tempt the luck of the outside world, and to find his fortune there. We expect that this class will send forth artists, scientists, surgeons, aviators, business men, and other sorts of fine outstandÂŹ ing men and women. Especially we look for great statesmen who will aid us toward international peace and toward a closer friendship and alliÂŹ ance between The Two Americas The first relationship of the United States with the Central American and South American republics began with the Monroe Doctrine, which was issued in 1823. The Monroe DocÂŹ trine was a message of James Monroe to Congress, expressing these two imÂŹ portant points: First, that the AmerÂŹ ican Cont inents were henceforth closed to colonization by any EuropeÂŹ an power; and second, that any interÂŹ ference with any republic in America recognized by us would be regarded as the manifestation of an unfriendÂŹ ly disposition toward the United States. This doctrine had no use in the early days except for the preÂŹ vention of the European powers from THE EXPONENT 9 making further colonies in the New World. The Cleveland restatement came in 1895. Venezuela and Great Britain had been disputing the boundary beÂŹ tween Venezuela and British Guiana for sixty years. Now Venezuela was complaining of the rapacity of the powerful England and was begging our State Department for aid. Again and again we implored England to arbitrate, but in vain, for England replied that the dispute was not an affair of ours. However, the AmeriÂŹ can people thought that the Monroe Doctrine was our affair. We believed in the maintenance of the doctrine, which stated that the American ConÂŹ tinents were closed to further EuroÂŹ pean colonization. It was not until a suggestion of war reached England that the obdurate Lord Salisbury conÂŹ sented to arbitration. An interest in the Latin-American republics was revived by President Rooseveltâs extension of the Monroe Doctrine. Santo Domingo had beÂŹ come bankrupt through a series of revolutions. France, Italy, and BelÂŹ gium threatened to collect by force the debts owed them unless the United States would guarantee the financial management of the republic. By the consent of the president of Santo Domingo, President Roosevelt negotiated a treaty, making the United States receiver for the reÂŹ public. By the efficient management of the United States the insolvency of Santo Domingo disappeared and her credit was reestablished. The most recent Latin-American affair is our intervention in NicaraÂŹ gua. The United States intervened mainly at the request of Nicaragua. We had formerly helped Cuba and Managua to set up governments and to hold elections. Now Nicaragua came with a request that we should aid her with the elections. The Sixth Pan-American ConferÂŹ ence has been held at Havana, Cuba, during the past winter. It settled two important questions and came to an understanding on a third problem. The first is the settlement of an air service between the two Americas: the second, a decision on the subject of immigration. A few of the Latin- American states proDosed that the United States should have free immiÂŹ gration. Much to the surprise of our delegates, Argentina allied herself with us, declaring that immigration was not a Pan-American affair but a domestic problem. The third probÂŹ lem and the greatest concerns the doubt which arose among the Latin- American states as to our right in intervening in financial and political situations, and as to whether we were over-stepping the Monroe Doctrine. We must regard the South American standpoint, before we can continue and be able to justify ourselves in these acts. Felipe Berreda, Professor of Pan- American History in the University of San Marcos, Lima, Peru, wrote an interesting and exceedingly frank article in the Current History of March, 1928. The article stated the point of view of some of the South- Americans, although it does not seem possible that this could be the feeling of the entire group of republics. Both North and South America stress the words âEuropean interferenceâ, but in an entirely different sense. It is believed in South America that the Monroe Doctrine, as Monroe himself issued it, meant the protection of the two Americas against European in- v asion. Monroeism formerly meant continental freedom and civilization. Indeed, Monroeism and Pan-AmeriÂŹ canism were once complements to each other, but have grown to be anÂŹ tagonistic. Felipe Barreda says: âPan-Americanism means freedom for all time from all danger of poliÂŹ tical or economic imperialism or slavery, not international guardianÂŹ ship or dictation. Pan-Americanism with which the old and genuine MonÂŹ roe Doctrine is in perfect accord, cannot exist with Monroeism as it is interpreted today. To save Pan- Americanism from total destruction these suggestions are made: (1) The United States must return to the original and undistorted doctrine enunciated by President Monroe. (2) All the nations which form the Pan-American Union must adopt the principle of no political interference between themselves on any excuse whatever. They also must adopt the principle of no military enforcement of agreements or contracts, dealing with matters which do not fall within the scone of international law. (3) Every international conflict between two or more American states must be 10- . THE EXPONENT settled by the World Court.ââ Our answer to South America is simple. We have acted as a mediaÂŹ tor only when a boundary dispute might mean the extension of EuropeÂŹ an colonization. We have intervened either when the states have asked us to help them, or it was evident that a European power would intervene if we did not. Although the United States is a powerful nation, it has no intention of entering the republics to stay. This has been proved by our withdrawals from Cuba, Porto Rico, and Nicaragua, when affairs had been settled in those states. Therefore, have we not upheld the Monroe DocÂŹ trine and held ourselves within our rights? Can it be possible that the Latin-American states so little appreÂŹ ciate our aid? The Sixth Pan-American ConferÂŹ ence gave the two Americas a better understanding of each other. EspeÂŹ cially did it help the Southern reÂŹ publics to see our point of view. InÂŹ deed, we find many of the Latin- American statesmen using their eloÂŹ quence in our behalf, which shows their good-will toward us. May the peace relations and this better underÂŹ standing between the Americas conÂŹ tinue, so that there may be everÂŹ lasting peace and, at length, the blending of the two for the progress of all science and culture. And may the American people be eternally mindful of and grateful to the âgoodÂŹ will ambassadorââColonel Charles A. Lindbergh! Virginia Harper â28 CLASS ORATION Friends Worthwhile What a wonderful blessing friends are! What marvelous foresight it was on the part of the Creator who made us all with an insatiable longing for friends. Friendsâwhat does that word mean to us? I hope it means more than a circle of acquaintances with whom we happen to be a little more than we are with others. If we search from pole to pole, we shall find few things more beautiful than friendship. Love, the greatest thing in the world, is always, must of neÂŹ cessity be, built upon a solid foundaÂŹ tion of friendship. Can we imagine a world without friends? What an unbearable place this would be, if there were no one to share our joys or to lighten the burden of our sorÂŹ rows, no one to glory with us in sucÂŹ cess or to speak a word of sympathy or encouragement in times of failure! Friends, however, like many other things which we seem to take for granted, are all too frequently neÂŹ glected. We seldom appreciate them as we should. Particularly do we neÂŹ glect a class of friends in praise of whom I wish to say a few words â our book friends. Let us think of books as friends. Generally they provide merely a pleasant way of passing the time or a means of acquiring knowledge. But if we consider them as friends, they will afford us more pleasure and point the way to greater knowledge. Books are alive, just as much as human beings. Yes, even more so. Just as there is more to a man than the body of flesh and bone in which he lives, so there is more to a book than the cover and paper and ink with which it is printed. A book is a personality. That is the reason that many booksâ the Bible and ShakesÂŹ peareâs works, to mention two outÂŹ standing examplesâhave lived for innumerable years, and even centuÂŹ ries. Yet there are so many books to be read and so little time to read them that it is utterly impossible to do justice to the worldâs literature. It will, therefore, pay us to select friends worthwhile. One reason why we have neglected our book friends may be that we are with people so much that we hardly think we need friends of another sort. There are times, however, when people are no comfort. Hasnât everyone of us been with a crowd, and suddenly felt terribly alone? We say to ourselves, âI wish these peoÂŹ ple would clear out and leave me alone. No, Iâd feel even worse alone.â It isnât company we want; it isnât solitude. What it is then? CompaÂŹ nionship? Ah, thatâs itâcompanionÂŹ ship. Someone to whom we can just pour out everything that is bound up in our hearts. Then we realize that there is no one, no one whom we would care to tell even if we could. Yet we can find comfort when we feel like that; when human friends fail, try a book. Perhaps we shall find that certain characters appeal to us more than others. THE EXPONENT 11â There is only one novel that I have ever read more than once. That one is Harold Bell Wrightâs âWhen a Manâs a Man.â It happened that I read it at a time when I was blindly groping for a solution of a problem. That novel led me to the right soluÂŹ tion. It wasnât because any charÂŹ acter in the book had the same difÂŹ ficulty to overcome, but as I neared the end of the book, I had learned to admire the leading character. Patches by name. I simply said to myself, âWhat would Patches do?â and there I found the answer which I might otherwise still be seeking. Since Patches did me that favor, Iâve paid him several visits. I frequently open the book anywhere, just as I might stop in the corridor or on the street to speak to Tom, Dick, or Harry. Some day Iâll know Patches quite intimately, and in the meantime I will continue to cultivate other book friendships as well as his. To those of you who have not read âWhen a Manâs a Manâ I do not say âRead it, by all means,âthe sooner the better.â That would be foolish. Patches does appeal to me, but he probably wouldnât appeal to you any more than the same girl appeals to every boy in high school. We are created, fortunately or unfortunateÂŹ ly, with greatly varied tastes. We will find, however, if we take the trouble to look, innumerable friends of all sorts and descriptions in the realm of books. There are so many of them, such as the friends in âIvanhoeâ, âBen Hurâ, âThe Three Musketeersâ, âNicholas Nicklebyâ, and countless others who are waiting, even begging for a chance to know us. They are always ready to talk with us about anything under the sun which we may care to chooseâthey will make us laugh or cry; they will accomÂŹ pany us on pleasure trips or on thrilÂŹ ling adventures, or through intriguÂŹ ing mysteries, wherever we ask to be taken. Our high school days are finished. Some of us will never meet again. Many of our human friendships must be broken. Our book friends, on the other hand, will continue to stay with us. We can go on getting better acquainted with the ones we have met in school, besides adding countÂŹ less new friends from the thousands of volumes which fill the worldâs libraries. So as we journey along the paths of life, let us take care to select from our book friends those that are worthwhile. Stuart Witty â28 IVY ORATION The Meaning of Success Fathers, Mothers, and Friends: I want to speak a few minutes, if I may, on a subject which has probably been talked about so much that it is old and weatherbeaten. Speaking on dry subjects, however, is a priviÂŹ lege that speakers, or so-called ones, have at this particular time of the year; itâs considered a part of the season. I am going to say a few words on the meaning of success. My locks arenât old and silvery, nor do I possess Solomonâs wisdom; nevertheless, I want to present my viewpoint because I donât think it differs much from the viewpoint of the average young man or woman. You remember when you were boys and girls just a little while ago âperhaps a little younger than we who are here todayâyou used to have dreams (weâve all had them) of what you would be when you were men and women. With some those dreams faded with the morn; with others they lasted until young manhood or womanhood; while with still others those dreams have reÂŹ mained throughout your lives and have made you what you are today. You know, nice dreams are wonderÂŹ ful, enchanting things. You can be a king just as easily as you can be anything else; you can rise to dazÂŹ zling heights or fall of cliffs and still never get hurt. The point is, howÂŹ ever, that those dreams meant someÂŹ thing, at the time at least; they meant that you had arrived at some definite goal, whatever that goal might be. You felt way down in you that that goal was the horizon of your life; that goal was, in your own mind, success. It is a proverb long since. Fathers and Mothers, that we Americans are supposed to be nothing more than a wild gang of prospectorsâout huntÂŹ ing for the elusive gold mine whereÂŹ in is supposed to be the secret of success. It is more than true that 12 THE EXPONENT not only many Americans, but men from all nations and from the beginÂŹ ning of time have had this mistaken idea that the gold and earthly posÂŹ sessions a man accumulated on this earth were the one measure of his success. How wrong that idea was and still is! It is undoubtedly a great thing to have enough money so as to live in comfort; but money after all is only a medium by which we can obtain something we desire. What did Carnegie do with the great wealth he accumulated? Did he hoard it in vaults? He did not. The great ambition of his life was to collect wealth, not for himself, but so that he might be able to help the world as a whole, by founding libraries and institutions of learning in order that his fellow men, less fortunate than he, might enjoy a few earthly pleasures. That is why AnÂŹ drew Carnegieâs name stands high on the list of great men who have been successful. Therefore, in closing, may I say to you, classmates, when you go through the portals of this buildÂŹ ing for the last time, or through the por tals of a higher school, with diploÂŹ mas in your hands, donât be deÂŹ ceived by the idea that success lurks just behind that pile of gold on the horizon, because it doesnât. Success doesnât hide itself nor is it to be grasped all at once. We all must find some gold because it is a necesÂŹ sity of life, but real, true success is the ability to fit your lives into the lives of others, as you tramp along the road that leads over the horizon, so that both the giver and the reÂŹ ceiver may profit thereby. Eugene Crawford â28 HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1928 The scene is laid in the State House of the Confederated States of Greenfield High School on the Continnent of Education. The characters are an assistant to the Secretary of the State, and a government historian. H. âI am interested in the arÂŹ chives of the State of 1928, as I have been officially appointed by the Governor to write a history of the first four years of these eminent citizens. S. And quite interesting reports they are, I am sure. H. It seems that they were adÂŹ mitted into statehood in the fall of 1924 with a population of 227. S. Yes, at their first election held at the national capitol, the infant state prided itself on knowing as much about the intricacies and windÂŹ ings of this new building as their more experienced sister states. H. Whom did they elect as their first presiding officers? S. As Governor they elected the Honorable James A. Ballou, who had distinguished himself as the hero in a play given in celebration of its graduation as a dependent territory in the Grammar School of Education. As his Lieutenant Governor they chose Marion Young. The keeper of the archives was Katherine Fleming, while the Secretary of the Treasury was Tracy Burnham who was assistÂŹ ed by his brother Howard. H. And here it tells how they were first honored in recognition of their independence by their sister states. S. But what is this weakness of mind that the citizens showed? H. Oh! It was the middle of the year when some of the nationâs authorities questioned their ability to uphold a statehood. S. Evidently it was not serious, as there is no disaster recorded. In fact, everything seemed to run smoothly for several months. But alas! Peace only precedes a storm; here is a revolt. H. So I see. Some of the citiÂŹ zens not liking their status as citiÂŹ zens of one of the Confederated States of G. H. S., revolted and would not meet the requirements of their state. But the storm soon cleared, and their ranks moved forward, unÂŹ broken, to a second year. S. That year they elected Tracy Burnham as Governor, Katherine Fleming, Lieutenant Governor, StuÂŹ art Witty, Secretary of the CommonÂŹ wealth, Stanley Pekalski, Treasurer and Margaret Ballard, his assistant. H. Soon after their election they gave a reception at the Capitol in honor of the newly admitted state of â29, at which time some of our worthy citizens wolunteered their THE EXPONENT 13 services for the entertainment, âPadÂŹ dle Your Own Canoe.â S. Yes. Didnât some of these exÂŹ hibit their prowess on the National Football Team that year? H. Yes, and for their brilliancy in playing in International Games, several were given rewards from the National Legislature. S. Evidently the reputation reÂŹ sulting from this carried them through the long winter months, for they are not heard of again until the latter part of May when they showed hopes of a promising future by the clever acting of several citizens in the first Springtime Fete in the history of the Confederated States of G. H. S. H. It seems that they pursued their worthy endeavors of the past during the following year under the guidance of Governor Elvis Petti- rossi. Secretary of State, Marion Young, Treasurer, James A. Ballou and his assistant, Stanley Pekalski. S. They repeated their success on the National Gridiron, although two of the outstanding heroes of the preÂŹ ceding year, Ashley Shattuck and AlÂŹ fred Akey had renounced their citiÂŹ zenship and left the state. H. After the football season the nation was still represented by 1928 in athletics, as several of the stars on the basketball team were among the foremost of its citizens. S. And the girls also distinguishÂŹ ed themselves on the National WomÂŹ enâs Team, did they not? H. Yes, quite well, too, and they also upheld the honor of the Tennis Team. S. And what is this about the âSoul of a Violinâ. H. Oh, that was the title of the piece with which Virginia Harper won the 1928 public-speaking chamÂŹ pionship. Stuart Witty by his exÂŹ pert rendition of a selection from the âDevilâs Discipleâ, won second place. S. At about this time the HonorÂŹ able Clement Schuler and his conÂŹ temporary, the distinguished Clyde Holbrook, represented the State in the National Orchestra at Dallas, Texas. H. And also some of the musiÂŹ cians made themselves famous in the second of the Springtime Fetes. S. In this same year, 1928 again proved her ability as a hostess to her sister states, the recipient of this reception being 1927. It was well managed and was proclaimed even more successful than those of the former years. H. The beginning months of the next year were prominent in the field of athletics. Among the citizens of our state who received letters for their proficiency were Connie MurÂŹ phy, Joe Bonitski, Stanley Pekalski, Cy Donovan, Francis Fitzgerald, TraÂŹ cy and Howard Burnham. S. Oh, and we mustnât forget the hockey team. H. Thatâs right too. Wasnât it Cy Donovan, Zigmunt Gutkowski and Francis Lawler who starred? S. Yes, and the team won most of its games, although it was only in its second year as a major sport. H. The great event of the year was the play âSo This Is London,â in which the Honorable James A. Ballou played opposite the talented stateswoman, Elizabeth Newcomb. It was an overwhelming success and will always stand out in the annals of the Confederated States. S. About the middle of January their ranks were somewhat thinned by the biennial examinations in citiÂŹ zenship, but this disgrace was wiped out by the skill of the basketball team upon which several of the statesmen of 1928 were outstandÂŹ ing. H. Once again the dramatic abilÂŹ ity of the state was exhibited in the performance of the National DramaÂŹ tic Society. S. The National Music ConvenÂŹ tion was again attended by delegates from â28. H. Later in the year the kindÂŹ ness of our sister states was shown by the delightful reception tendered to them by the state of â29. S. That has been a wonderful history, and it will be a delightful task to write it up. I propose to give them three cheers. H. By all means and as prosperÂŹ ous a future!

Yes, you say she wants to try out for the leading part in our fall proÂŹ duction, âThe Revival of 1928.â Very well, send her up at onceâmy time is very valuable. (Sets down phone.) Oh dear, I do hope Iâm not going to be disappointed. I hope she isnât one of those shocking actresses of fifteen years ago. Thank goodness the s lanÂŹ gy actresses of the jazz age have enÂŹ tirely disappeared. They are a thing of the past. (Knock is heard at the door. Miss Bunny opens it.) Mary Draperâ Are you Mr. LawÂŹ lerâs secretary? Bunnyâ Miss Bernadette Babi- neau. Bunny, if you please! Are you Miss Draper? M. D.â Why, of course. Who else could it be but Miss Mary Draper, president of the Actorsâ Equity AssoÂŹ ciation ! Bunnyâ You have come to try out for the lead in the âRevivals of 1928?â M. D.â Yes, and for one who has had a star engagement ever since 1928, it is really lowering to have to hold a try out. Bunnyâ ' You people of the jazz period forget that we are of the pure and simple age. Now, Miss Draper, will you please give me a sample of your dramatic ability? M. D.â Well, if I must, I must. Do you remember that famous play, âSo This Is London?â I toured forty- seven and one-half states of these United States of America and I had engagements to tour all other counÂŹ tries. . . . But, you know, when we played in Shutesbury, we so charmed the natives, that we finished the season there, playing to packed houses. Bunnyâ Miss Draper, are you Miss Draper or her press agent? M. D. âNow donât get excited, dearie. Iâm simply giving my usual introduction. I will portray for you one of the most effective moments, when Mrs. Hiram Draper, the AmeriÂŹ can, is pictured as the Londoners imaÂŹ gine her to be. This will Ke the library of Sir Percy Beauchampâs country residence and 1 am Mrs. Hiram Draper. I am greeting Sir Percy. My husband tells me to act natural. âDonât you worry there ainât no fuss nor frills to me. You know the old saying: Muh, Charlie licks me, but you bet your life I love him. Youâre the wife, I guess, hey? Will I be seated? I should say I will. Iâm just dying to set. I got a corn on my left foot thatâs just murdering me.â Where am I?âOh- yesâin your office. Do you see how I forget myself and just live in my part? Do I get the lead or do I not? Bunnyâ Yes, Miss Draper, you do. Oh, it was wonderful. How I wish I still lived in that jazz age! (Telephone rings again.) (In phone.) Yes, Mr. Lawler. Oh, youâve sent up the man who wants to play the lead? What? Oh, yes. Miss Draper was wonderful and I heartily recommend her for the part. (Sets down phone.) Oh, Miss Draper, do stay and meet this actor of your own age and date. Fritz â (Breezing in without knocking.) Oh, how do you do. Miss Bunny? (Shakes hands.) I hope you realize what an opportunity your company is having in engaging me. Oh, (catching sight of Mary Draper.) Iâm overwhelmed! Are you the actress who is to have the honor of playing opposite me? (Shaking her hand.) How do you do! I didÂŹ nât catch your name. M. D.â (Stiffly) Miss Mary Draper. Fritzâ Well, hello, Mary! (Then turning to Miss Bunny.) Now, Miss Bunny, to get down to business. Iâll give an impersonation of the butler in âSo This Is London.â That was one of my first parts: This is the Draperâs suite at the Ritz, London, England. Mr. Draper has just orÂŹ dered soda. âRighto. Sir. Hi knows âow to look hafter Hamericans, sir. Do Hi like London? Very well in- THE EXPONENT 15 deed, sir. Hanythink else Sir? Thank you, Sir.â I ask youâam I not a great actorâeven with a small partâThink what I could do with a greater one! Now, would you like me to give a part from A1 Jolsonâs greatâ Bunny â(Interupting.) Very, very good, Mr. Fritz. Consider yourself accented. You know, itâs queer that you two should both try out in parts from âSo This Is Londonââthat is one play I remember well. My class gave it for their play in 1925. M. D. and Fritz âtogetherâWhy, so did mine! Bunny âI graduated from GreenÂŹ field High School. M. D. and Fritz âSo did I. Fritz âWell, well, it looks as if we were classmates. I can place you. Miss Bunnyâwerenât you Bunny Ba- bineau? Bunny âYes,âand you were called Gerry, werenât you? Fritzâ you bet, but I donât see where Mary Draper comes in. I cerÂŹ tainly donât remember you. (TurnÂŹ ing to M. D.) M. D.â Oh, but that isnât my real name. That was my name in âSo This Is London,â so when I went on the stage I adopted it. I used to be called Kay Fleming. Fritzâ Well, this certainly is a 1928 reunion. I wish the rest of the class were here. I wonder what they are all doing. Iâve kept in touch with only a few of them. Of course, Francis Lawler is our manager in this new show, but do either of you know any news? M. D. âOh, yes, I was just back in Greenfield visiting and so I know about a few of them. Dot Hosmer entertained me while 1 was there. Sheâs gym instructor at G. H. S. now, you know. Fritzâ Say, I heard her old pal, Ruth Johnson, was teaching aestheÂŹ tic dancing at G. H. S., too. That reÂŹ minds me, what has become of JimÂŹ mie Ballou? Bunnyâ Jimmieâs gone into busiÂŹ nessâselling Bensonâs Gas. Ruth Benson is owner of the business. Now, say, Kay what is Virginia HarpÂŹ er doing? M. D. âOh, Virginiaâs a famous pianist. Sheâs on a world tour at present with Francis Fitzgerald as her manager. Sheâs changed, beÂŹ cause she has to be careful not to flirt from the concert stage, because she would have too many stage-door Johnnies. M. D.â What is Francisâ old pal, Jimmie Bulman, doing? Fritz â ' Jimmieâs the editor of the National âSportsman Magazine.â He always was quite a hunter, you know His sister Julia is a teacher at Smith College now. How about her old cronies, Betty Battey and Mary Barry? Bunn yâ Betty is head nurse at the Peter Bent Brigham Hospital in BosÂŹ ton, Mary Barry is the manager of Wilsonâs Department Store, Ed. Flavin is floorwalker there andâi F ritzâ (interrupting) âSay, whatâs become of Connie Murphy, our class athlete? Bunnyâ Oh, Connieâs All AmerÂŹ ican coach of the Olympic team, and speaking of the Olympics reminds me that Jean Thomas just sailed yesterÂŹ day to the meet. How about Joe Bonitski, our other athlete? Fritzâ Joe is head-football coach at Fordham. We really thought ourÂŹ selves very intellectual, and just see how we proved it. M. D. âWe have quite a few classÂŹ mates on college faculties. Margaret Ballard is a famous lecturer at Mount Holyoke. Oh, by the way, I had a letter from Tracy Burnham the other day. He is a famous lawyer now, following in his father-in-lawâs footÂŹ steps, you know. He is also the proud father of thirteen children. Fritzâ His brother, Howard, has gone into the pig business. Heâs very careful to keep his hat on, though. How about his old friend, Charlie Bryant? Bunnyâ Heâs a famous osteoÂŹ path in Gill. Elvis Pettirossi is his head nurse, and Helen Sheehan, Edith Pierce, Marianna Massuzzo, and Helen Kunasko are her assistÂŹ ants. Has anyone ever heard from Eleanor Thayer? Fritzâ Oh, sure.

Whatâs become of Alfred Fre- geau, the boy with a flower? Fritzâ Oh, Alâs another successful florist. He has quite a few old classÂŹ mates working for him. His sister Carolyn, Jessie Bliss, Margaret ColeÂŹ man, and Elizabeth Davenport are all in his salesrooms. Say, I havenât heard from Clyde Holbrook in years. How is his music progressing? M. D.â Clyde plays first âcello in the New York Symphony orchestra. You know, Clem Schuler directs that orchestra and Marion Young is the vocal soloist. Where is our old friend, Ed Galvin? Bunnyâ Oh, Edâs a Western-Union Messenger. He always was good at carrying messages. Have we any classmates editing a newspaper? Pd like to buy one of their papers if we have. Fritzâ Esther Hawkes and Mildred Gorman are the joint editors of the âChicago Pacifierâ. Theyâre making quite a success. Walter Kalinoski is the head of their press room. I was talking with Walter the other day and he told me that Kathryn Booher has started an interior decorating business. She has Lucie Galbraith for her chief-of-staff and Mary Blake, Agnes Brocklesby and Eileen SulliÂŹ van are her best decorators. M. D.â Oh, yes, I hear they are running in still competition with Annie Kramer and her husband. Everybody seems to be successful in business. Florence Forsyth is one of the officials in a company that manuÂŹ factures electric stoves. Eugene Crawford is her advertising manager. He always did have unique ideas and heâs still keeping up his reputation for being the most unique person in the class. Bunnyâ Oh, yes, I met Edith Johnson and Alice Jurek the other day. They are demonstrating FlorÂŹ enceâs stoves. They said Dorothy Purrington and Ethel Reum were demonstrating them in Greenfield this week. FritzâI was out hunting for an apartment the other day and I ran across Dick Miller and Guy Miner in one of these artistâs studios. Theyâre quite successful. Their paintings get first prize at all the exhibits, but theyâve ruined their studio by pracÂŹ ticing golf swings in it. M. D.âI met Joe OâBryan the other day. Heâs a big league baseÂŹ ball umpire now. He was telling me that Eddie and Stan Pekalski are making a trans-continental tour in that old Ford they had back in 1928. Bunnyâ I went out to the WestÂŹ chester Country Club last Tuesday and took a golf lesson from Ziggie Gutkowski. Heâs a golf pro now. Bob Bane, Hector Chevalier and MarÂŹ jorie Hebert were taking lessons from him at the same time. John Gorman is president of the country club. John used to talk a lot, but success has made him very quiet and reserved. Has Stuart Witty been very successful? Fritzâ Stuart is a popular movie actor now. He and Betty Newcomb are playing opposite each other in his newest picture. Bill Breslin is the villain and Johnnie Roberts, the comedian. M. D.â Oh, yes.

Ruth Robinson is their saleslady and their sales are certainly booming. Bunnyâ Their best customer is Donald Manix. He runs an antique shop on the East Side. He takes new THE EXPONENT 17 furniture, and makes it look old. Ken Martin, Bernice Wood, and Mary McDonald are all working for him. Theyâve become experts in knocking furniture around. M.

Fritz âwent visiting at a high school in the Bronx last month. RichÂŹ ard Suhl was the principal. He took me around and introduced me to all the teachers. Edmund Simondisky was the English teacher and Leola Osgood was instructor in history. People do change! Bunny â Wouldnât you like to go downstairs and see the chorus of our play? There are a lot of your old friends in that. Why, right in the front row are Sabrina Weeks, DoroÂŹ thy Andrews, Lucille Thompson, JesÂŹ sie Wheeler, Agnes Brocklesby and Marjorie Patterson. You can see Doris Tubbs, too. She is playing the piano for us. M. D.â Letâs change the name of this play to âRevivals of G. H. S!â Fritz âAnd letâs send complimenÂŹ tary tickets to everyone in the class of 1928! Katherine Fleming â28 Gerard Fritz â28 JUNIOR NOTES Emma Koch has left G. H. S. to acÂŹ cept a position with the Aetna InÂŹ surance Company in Hartford, ConÂŹ necticut. Eleanor Burns, having fully recovÂŹ ered from an operation for appendiÂŹ citis, is back at her studies again. The Juniors have a new story to tell us. It is called the âGolden Fleasâ and was originated by Gladys Plumley. A bright red flame at the remote end of the corridor recently promptÂŹ ed someone to shout âFire!â It was all a mistakeâand a sad oneâfor the flame was just Sid Michelmanâs new red tie! We are all glad to see Kenneth Hutchins back after an extended ill- TIGRS, Marion Taylor, Betty Griswold and Elizabeth Bitters attended the convention at Dalton. Alice Wilcox attended the FreshÂŹ man Hop and High School Day at M. A. C. Senior Notes Johnnie Roberts went down to M. A. C. for High School Day. Johnnieâs little Whippet will probably be a familiar sight on the campus next year, for Johnnie hopes to attend M. A. C. We were all glad to see Betty NewÂŹ comb back after her long illness. We are very glad that the suicide attempt by drowning while fishing of one of our well known teachers in G. H. S. was prevented, due to the heroism of James Bulman. Many G. H. S. girls were among those who enjoyed the Girl Scout outing in Boston. What, oh what shall we do next year without our âtripletsââJean and ConnieâRuth and Clydeâ George and Eleanor? Orchestra and Band On May 24, seven members of the G. H. S. Orchestra went to Boston to participate in the New England Festival Orchestra. Those in the party were Lucille Thompson, Elizabeth Battey, Gerard Fritz, Clement Schuler, Clyde Holbrook, Shelly Bliss, and Kenneth Waide. They went by motor, Mr. Woodbury and Mrs. S. K. Lyman driving their cars. The Copley Plaza was the hotel at which they stopped. The concert was held in the Mechanics Building Saturday evening, and was broadcasted from station WEEI.

The Spanish Club An entirely social meeting was held by the Spanish Club Thursday evening. May 31, in room 34. The members were stopped at the enÂŹ trance of the room by a maze of inÂŹ tertwined and tangled red strings. Each member took an end of a string and followed it until he came to the end, on which was tied a favÂŹ or. Elizabeth Battey won the prize for the modeling race. A progressive game followed. There were three tables that seated four partners each. At one a guessÂŹ ing game was held; at another the contestants wrote in a limited time as many things as they could buy for five cents; at the third table haste plus thought were demanded in makÂŹ ing words from anagram cards. Sometimes the winner moved, and sometimes the losers. The Club beÂŹ came greatly excited over âfleaâ, which is played with dice, a âfleaâ and a pencil. After refreshments, consisting of ice cream, cookies, and chocolate cake, volley ball was very much in evidence. Instead of a real ball, however, balloons were used very successfully. Later a game was played between the three members of the faculty present and five SenÂŹ iors. The faculty scored the most points. Enthusiasm ran high throughout the evening, and everyÂŹ one enjoyed himself. Hi Y Club At the business meeting of the Hi Y club. May 15, plans were discussed for a Hi Y dance to be held June 8.

To the great, wide realm of HappiÂŹ ness. M. G. â28 SOPHOMORE NOTES Walter Wilcox âtookâ George Lawver fishing the other day up in Ashfield. The only thing these two Izaak Waltons caught were two nice big colds! Marguerite Harper, Blanche MarÂŹ tin, Marjorie Streeter and Hazel Smith attended the convention in DalÂŹ ton. A little bird told us that Pierce street is nearly worn out! Perhaps a little Sophie can explain more.

FLEMING â28 THE EXPONENT 21 WHAT AN EDUCATION MEANS Four long years we have spent in G. H. S. preparing ourselves to batÂŹ tle with the world on our own reÂŹ sources. Some of our members feel that to win the goal we have set for ourselves will require still more eduÂŹ cation than we have obtained within these walls. Not one of us will tell you now or will ever tell you again that he is sorry that he has completed the four year course here. Often when discouraged we ridiculously asÂŹ sert that we are profiting nothing from our studies. To be sure it seems as though we really do learn very little each day, but at the end of each month we are able to think of numerÂŹ ous things we have cleared up in our minds, and at the end of the year we look back and wonder how we could have done and thought such âdumbâ things âjust a little while agoââ Psychologists tell us that men areÂŹ nât created equal, but that some are endowed with more brains than others. Unless we have a certain perÂŹ cent of this endowment, they tell us, education is little avail, but that it can be decreased by lack of training. For this reason some self-styled pracÂŹ tical persons argue against going to school by saying that if a man posÂŹ sesses these qualities of success no lack of education can keep him from rising to the position of a leader of men. They quite naturally take for example men such as Jackson and Lincoln, who were entirely self-made men. Of course, it is a man of this type that we admire most, but they represent the exception rather than the rule. When quoting these outstanding examples they fail to take into conÂŹ sideration the vast majority who have not made good under like conditions. It is foolish for us to imagine that education could make us less sucÂŹ cessful. It without exception adds to our power of comprehension and caÂŹ pability. Education broadens our scope of understanding to a degree that we are able to derive a great deal of pleasÂŹ ure from sources that hitherto we had ignored. Some persons have the contention that the foremost reason for attending institutions of higher learning is to be able to occupy posiÂŹ tions financially better. This is, of course, very true, for business today is more and more demanding the man with the special training. However, the real reason that most people wish to obtain a higher education is that they may appreciate more fully the enjoyment that this world is capable of offering. The doors of higher learning are by no means closed to the man or woman who considers himself too poor to attend other than the public schools. The present college and business school system is so arranged that any peron who desires an eduÂŹ cation to such a degree that he is willing to work for it may receive a college training. Even the unforÂŹ tunate one who hasnât had the opporÂŹ tunity of a high school education may obtain a satisfactory training from a night school. In this twentieth century of ours there are no restrictions, either for man or woman, except for him who has allowed himself to believe that he is incapable of accomplishing his task. If you fail to succeed in your chance in life, who is to be accused of the failure? No one but yourself, who allowed a restriction to be set upon you when you might have made the other decision and accomplished your aim. E. H. â28 Would You Collapse If: Margaret Ballard didnât study? Kay Fleming didnât have wise ideas? Mary Blake didnât say all she thought? Frink Fitzgerald couldnât swallow? Kay Fregeau couldnât smile? Dick Miller lost Betty? Esther Hawks didnât have brains? Stuart Witty didnât have curly hair? Ruth Baker wasnât good natured? Jean Thomas lost Sunday nights? Anne Kramer didnât have her New York friend? Evelyn Morris couldnât dance? Bill Breslin couldnât wink? Bernice Wood didnât have blonde hair?

The picture of your school on the front page, and the enÂŹ couraging âwrite upâ beneath it, cerÂŹ tainly must increase enthusiasm among your student body. The Exponent. âThe Aegisâ, Beverly, Mass. Your âPoetâs Cornerâ is about the best think we have found in original poetrv, yet. We also enjoyed your âSir Roger de Coverly, 1928 Modelâ. Your exchanges are also well conÂŹ ducted.

The Exponent. âThe Ri-Chur-Râ, Stowe, Vermont, For a magazine of its size, we think it is very fine. We will make this suggestion, however; your paper would be much more attractive if your advertisements were not mixed up with your fine literary departÂŹ ment. âThe Spaulding Sentinelâ, Barre, Vermont.

Those nice, plump cheeksâKay Fleming 10. Gosh, Iâm tired! Lucile Thompson 26 THE EXPONENT DOROTHY BENNETT ANDREWS âTrue friends are a divine gift.â French Club. Dorothy came to us during our Junior year so that about her past we know very little. While here she has made many friends and has been ap active member of the French Club. Dot intends to go to the Spring- field Hospital in September where she will train for three years. Wonât she make a stunning nurse? BERNADETTE ROSAMOND BABINEAU âFrom the crown of her head to the sole of her foot, she is all mirth.â Member of Commercial and Glee Clubs, âPirateâs Daughterâ (4), âGypsy Roverâ (4), Basketball, Tennis and Volley ball. S. A. S. Collector (4). âBunnyâ is one of our happy, good natured members. When it comes to sports or music, she is right on time. She spends much of her time in .room 41 where she qualified for awards for her typing. As far as we know Bunny will be cashier at Lawlerâs as usual; for other plans consult the gentleman from Turners Falls. MAE BAKER âThe leaves of memory seemed to make âA mournful rustling in the dark.â Commercial Club, Economics Club, Spanish Club. Yes, Mae is one of those shy! ! I girls that is seen promenading the corridors of G. H. S. every morning. Besides attending school, Mae has found time to worTc ia her fatherâs store afternoons where she obtains an excellent bookkeeping training. As for the future, Mae is yet undecided, but we wonât be at all surprised to hear that she is in charge of a large office staff in the course of a few years. Our sincere wishes go with you, Mae. RUTH NOYES BAKER âHer life was all a laughter: Her days were all a smile.â Home Economics Club-President, Operetta, Glee Club, Volley Ball. Have you ever seen Ruth without her smile? We wonder if âSonnyâ is the cause of it. She has been gracing the rooms of the Home Economics Course, but her plans for next year are undecided. THE EXPONENT 27 MARGARET LOUISA BALLARD âThe thoroughly great are those who do everything thoroughlyâ Assistant Treasurer (2), Treasurer (4), French Club (4), Jou rnalism (2), Student Council (3), Pro Merito, (Secretary), Girlsâ League (Honor Comm.), Scholarship (3), Class Historian. Margaret is one of the studious members of the class of â28; nevertheless she has found time to belong to a number of clubs and also manage the responsibility of holding a class office for two years. Margaret loves to play tennis, basketball, and volley ball. Her freshman year she was manager of the freshman girlsâ basket ball team. Margaret is the girl of many talents. Her sophÂŹ omore year she received honorable mention for writing a Christmas story and the very next year she was given first prize for another story. Margaret went to Springfield as a representative of the Pro Merito Society of G. H. S. She also attended the Young Women s Conference at North Adams her sophÂŹ omore year. Mt. Holyoke College welcomes Margaret next year, where we are sure she will attain higher honÂŹ ors and many friends. JAMES ALLEN BALLOU âGood things come in small packagesâ Class President (1, 4), Treasurer (3), Secretary (2), Student Council (1, 2, 3, 4), Hi-Y, French Club, DraÂŹ matic Club. âJimmyâ is one of the most popular boys in his class. He has been one of our chief cheer leaders for four years. He has been presidenit and secretary of the Hi-Y, vice-president of the French Club, and chairman of soÂŹ cial affairs committee of the Student Council. He has also played forward on the class basket ball team. âJimâ was the chief actor in the Senior Play and in the âWonÂŹ der Hat.â Dartmouth College will claim âJimmyâ in the fall. ROBERT FRANCIS BANE âSilence is Golden.â Baseball 3, 4; Track 3, 4. Like all good baseball stars Bob has come to us from Millers Falls. He is a fast man, on the feet, and this has helped him in chasing flies in the center pastures. He has chased so many flies that he should use âFlit.â Bob has an undecided future. MARY F. BARRY âMy life is like the prints which feet have left on Tempaâs desert strand.â Commercial Club (3), Spanish Club (2); Glee Club (1), Treasurer of Spanish Club (3), Class Reporter (2), Vice President of Commercial Club (3), School Editor (3), Editor-in-chief and Student Council Member (4), BasÂŹ ketball (1). Mary is another one of those happy-go-lucky girls who has many friends in the school. As a result of her friendly disposition she held a place on the FriendÂŹ ship Committee of the Girlsâ League in her Sophomore and Junior years. Mary has won medals on the RemÂŹ ington and Royal Typewriters and certificates on the Underwood and L. C. Smith typewriters She has been an active worker for the Exponent and has contributed much material to it during her four years in G. H. S. Most of us have probably noticed that Mary has abanÂŹ doned both the Junior and Senior classes and now can| be seen in a Ford with a âRiding Romeoâ as her comÂŹ panion. As to her future she is undecided, but plans to continue along the line of journalistic work at which she is a shark. Good luck, Mary. 28 THE EXPONENT MARY ELIZABETH BATTEY âTall of stature, fair of face Among our girls,âshe holds her place.â Orchestra, Band, Spanish Club, Cap and Gown ComÂŹ mittee, Exponent. Betty is the girl that worked with Julia and saw to it that every girl in the senior class was measured corÂŹ rectly for the caps and gowns that fitted us to a âT.â Betty made a very good jumping center in basket ball because she was so âshort.â Is that right, Betty? Who could have asked for a better School Editor than Betty made for the past half of the year? She has been acÂŹ cepted at the Springfield Hospital where she will train for three years. When we are sick weâre goirjg to call for âNurse Battey.â MARY CAROLYN BLAKE âYou know I say just what I think And nothing more or less.â Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Frenfch Club (4), Gypsy Rover Chorus. Maryâs strongest trait is perseverance, which we know will always carry her through well in the future as it has in the past. Middlebury gets Mary next year. The class of 1928 wishes her the best of luck. RUTH LILLIAN BENSON âMy fair one, let us swear an eternal friendshipâ French Club, Friendship Committee Girlsâ League, Commercial Club, Basket Ball. Ruth, alias âBillie,â is that quiet little girl in Room 14 who is a firm believer in âSilence is Golden.â She is one of those dashing side centers in Basket Ball. What will Miss Smith do without Ruth next year in typewriting class? Can she typewrite? She surely can and has won medals on the Undewood, Remington, and L. C. Smith machines. Outside of school it is said Ruth loves to dance, drive and? ? ? ? Of late she and JimÂŹ my have been attending the socials of G. H. S. together. As for the future Ruth is yet undecide d but in whatÂŹ ever she undertakes we wish her good luck. JESSIE MINA BLISS âI like fun and I like jokes âBout as well as most the folks.â Home Economics Club, Vice President, Volley Ball. âJessâ is one of the jolly girls of our class. She has loads of friends and always is full of jokes to tell. Jessie is undecided about the future, but we guess that âBenâ might know something about it after school closÂŹ es. THE EXPONENT 29 JOSEPH ANTHONY BONITSKI âWas there ever a greater man than he?â Football 2, 3, 4, Baseball 2, 3, 4, Basketball 2, 3, 4. Selection as end in the All Valley team his first year out, runner-up and then champion individual scorer of the Valley League Basketball and a good exhibition of baseball has made âBiscuitsâ the idol of the rising genÂŹ eration. Joe has done much to bring in the bacow â or the whole pig â in athletic encounters of all sorts, but the reason is apparent. Joeâs record is nothing to be ashamed of, and after closing a wonderful career here he intends to further develop his prowess on the gridÂŹ iron, the court and the diamond at the University of Detroit. Good luck, Joe! KATHRYN ELLEN BOOHER âThe arms of the world are open to those with the true smileâ Glee Club, French Club, âGypsy Rover,â âPirateâs Daughterâ, Kathryn is another one of the quiet set and is everyÂŹ bodyâs friend. She was a member of the Friendship Committee during her Freshman, Sophomore and Junior years and of the Honor Committee during her Senior year of the Girlsâ league. Kathrynâs name has appearÂŹ ed on the Honor Roll many times as a result of her attentiveness in class. Probably most of us wonder why Kathryn has become âmanagerâ of Booherâs Paint Shop, when she has such a strong interest in the G. T. D. Two years ago she attended the Older Girlsâ ConÂŹ ference at North Adams. Like most of us, her future is undecided, but she has been thinking seriously of training for a nurse. Good luck, Kay. WILLIAM JAMES BRESLIN âWhy study when sleep is so sweet?â Baseball 2, 3, 4. Bill is that wide awake (?) boy who comes to us from Millers Falls. Although it takes a lot of energy to keep awake, even behind the bat. Bill has done so, and he has shown us some good catching. His future is not yet decided. AGNES FLORENCE BROCKLESBY âHer kindly, gentle ways bespoke a gentle spirit.â Commercial Club (3, 4). Every morning a bus stops in front of the high school and leaves a group of high school students from MilÂŹ lers Falls. Among this group is Agnes, a friendly, hapÂŹ py, follower of G. H. S. Agnes seems to think she hasÂŹ nât done much during her four years, but many of us disagree with her. She has been faithful to her studies and has received both certificates and medals in typeÂŹ writing. As to her future no one knows, not even herÂŹ self. But whatever she attempts in the future we know she will be a success at it. 30 THE EXPONENT CHARLES WARREN BRYANT âStaunch and fearless he faces the world.â Spanish Club. Very often we see âChuckâ sailing along in his PackÂŹ ard and usually in the company of a dark-haired girl. Charlie has been a member of the Spanish Club. His future is as yet undecided. JAMES CORNELIUS BULMAN âAn ounce of mirth is worth a pound of sorrow.â Spanish Club. Studies seem to be the least of âJimâsâ worries, but his name usually appears on the Honor Roll. He has been secretary of the Spanish Club. âJimâsâ future is undecided, but we feel sure that Jim will make good after his departure from G. H. S. JULIA AGNES BULMAN âShe was a scholar and a ripe and good one Exceeding wise, fair spoken, and persuading.â Valedictorian, Pres. Pro Merito (4), Sec. Spanish Club (2), Journalism Class (2, 4), Pres. Spanish Club (3, 4), Student Council (3, 4), Scholarship Committee, Basket Ball (1), Girlsâ League (3, 4). Julia? Oh yes, she is the girl who finds it very difficult to arrive at school on time and very often is seen dashing into Room 14 just after the 8.15 bell has sounded. This however is a very minor incident in comparison with the many achievements she has gained during her four years in G. H. S. Julia always has a winÂŹ ning smile and a cheery word for every one. Have you ever seen Julia in any of the Spanish plays? She speaks Spanish so fluently that one might be deceived into thinking she was a true Senorita de Espanola. The Exponent has been assisted by Juliaâs writings. During her Junior year she received honorable mention for a Christmas story. Does she study? That she is Valedictorian answers this question. There hasnât been a club or social event that Julia has not had some part in. Juliaâs interests however, do not lie in G. H. S. aloi e. It has been rumored that she has been seen quite frequently of late attending some of the socials in a school south of us. Julia enters Smith next year. Lucky Smith. We wish our Valedictorian success. HOWARD FREDERICK BURNHAM âA Devil with a Baby Faceâ Assistant Treasurer, Science Club, Student Council 4, Football 2, 3, 4, Manager of Basketball and Baseball. Howardâthe worse half of the Burnham twinsâso the teachers thinkâhas enliveixed every room he has enterÂŹ ed. His smile and his pranks have made the students happy and the teachers angry. Howard has gone through life at G. H. S. and the line with that same smile and twinkle of the eye. HowÂŹ ard will further develop his brain at some college as soon as he can decide which needs him the most. Go to it, Howie. THE EXPONENT 31 TRACY ALBERT BURNHAM âSo strong and brave, yet so kind and gentle.â President (2), Treasurer (1), Secretary (4), Student Council (1, 2, 4), Hi-Y and Dramatic Clubs, (1, 2). Paddle your own Canoe 2, Football 1, 2, 3, 4. Tracy is one of the reasons why football games have been worth seeing. He has done his share for us, and we are proud of him. Between class offices and Betty, Tracy has been busy this year. We shall miss him on the gridiron next , year, but ColÂŹ gate receives him with outstretched arms. KATHERINE JULIA CAMPBELL âRemember this, that very little is needed to make a happy life.â Commercial Cluh; Girlsâ League. We have seen and heard very little of Katherine durÂŹ ing her four years with us. Why? Katherine has spent her time studying and working. They say, however, that these are not her only interests. Perhaps a certain cornet player could tell us more about this shy little girl. Katherine is undecided about the future, but if she works as hard as she has here in G. H. S., we are sure she will succeed. HECTOR FRANCIS CHEVALIER âSilence is his Mother Tongueâ âHecâ is a quiet boy while in school and out of school isnât our business. âHecâ and the Franklin may be seen any day speeding down to Holyoke to see a fake boxing match or whizzing alortg Federal Street with no place to go. Just the same. Hector can swing a mean paint brush even if he did inherit his skill. Hector has not quite decided whether he will follow his fatherâs footsteps or not. LOIZA MARY CHYZ âShe who achieves success does so because she has prepared for it.â Commercial Club (3, 4) ; Pro Merito Society. Loiza is the girl who comes to school every morning with her lessons prepared. This is the reason why her name has been listed unider maximum 9 quite frequently this year, and also why she has the honor of belonging to the Pro Merito Society. She has won certificates on the Underwood and Remington typewriters. Loiza is anÂŹ other one of those members in the class of â28 who is always busy. Besides preparing her lessops she has been working every afternoon. She has not yet come to any conclusion as to what she will do in the future. But we have a suspicion that she will either be manager or owner of the Greenfield Steel Stamp Works Co., which is now graced with her presence. 32 THE EXPONENT MARGARET COLEMAN âOut of too much learning, become mad.â Member of Girlsâ League, Spanish Club (2, 3, 4), AthÂŹ letic (1) and Honor (2) Committees, Basketball (1). Margaret thinks, as many of us do, that learning is all rightâin its place. She has been among us for many years and during that time she has made loads of friends. We know she will make even more at North Adams Normal School where she expects to go next year. LEON FRANCIS CORNILOVICH âHis smile is genial, and his friendship true.â Science Club (3, 4). âLeeâ is that little chap we all know. He is forever smiling and can find a joke for every occasion. âLeeâ has been a member of the Science Club during his Junior and Senior years. After G. H. S. he expects to attend some college. We hope they will appreciate him as we have, and we know he will succeed. EUGENE McLEOD CRAWFORD âStill water runs deepâ Student Council, Hi-Y, Basketball, Tennis. âSqueakâ is that tall, reserved boy whom we see so often striding down the corridors. He has helped G. H. S. to win many basket ball games as center on that team. He was also captain of the Tennis Team. âSqueakâ has been assistant-editor of the Exponent and vice-president of the Hi-Y. His plans for the coming year are undecided. ELIZABETH DAVENPORT âShe says little but thinks much.â Commercial Club; Pirateâs Daughter (3). Elizabeth decided that G. H. S. was much better than any high school âon the trail.â That is why we have her with us now. Elizabeth was on the Honor CommitÂŹ tee of the Girlsâ League in her Sophomore year and on the Scholarship Committee in her Junior year. At presÂŹ ent she is working in the G. T. D. and although we exÂŹ pect to see her managing some department over there she is going to disappoint us. Next year she intends to edter Bay Path Institute. Good luck. Lib. THE EXPONENT 33 CYRIL RUSSELL DONOVAN âOh wonder of wonders, can it be! A man among us, such as he?â Baseball (2, 3), Captain Hockey (4), Football (3, 4.) Cy is our all round athlete and he also was voted the best looking fellow in the class. In baseball he stars as a pitcher; in football he is the snappy halfback; while he plays center in hockey. Skating is his favorite hobby and he has won many prizes along this line. Cy was kept very busy giving skating lessons to Eleanor last winter, and in the course of a few years we expect to see them both demonstrating some fancy rolls at one of our future carnivals. Next fall Cy goes to Cincinnati Art Academy. ORLO EDWARD FISKE âBoldly ventured is half won.â Track, football, and Science Club. Orloâs the man that said, âFeet do your duty,â aAd won the half-mile. Both in school and elsewhere âCrampâ Fiske is the same easy-going fellow. âCrampâ is a little dubious about girls; so much the better for him. Orlo ties his horse at Norwich University next year. FRANCIS ANTONY FITZCERALD âA pack of cards is a devilâs prayer-book.â Football (4). Francis showed us he was some flash, as end, on the football team. We are all quite well aware of the fact that he is interested in things other than football. His plans for the future are undecided; but he has accepted a position as night-watchma% keeping close watch over the town of Creenfield from his headquarters at Poetâs Seat. EDWARD MICHAEL FLAVIN âA handful of common-sense is worth a bushel of learning.â French Club, Dramatic Club, Senior Play, Track ManaÂŹ ger. Ed has done his bit for us while here. His first years were not quite so crowded with work and now that his last year has been a busy year, he has added another activity to his listâwalking to Beech Street. Ed will go where many of our good graduates have goneâM. A. C. 34 THE EXPONENT KATHERINE ELIZABETH FLEMING âAll are not saints who go to churchâ Secretary (1), Vice President (2), Student Council (2), Dramatic Club (2, 3, 4), French Club (3), Senior Play, Editor-in-chief of Exponent (4). Everyone knows that smiling Kay, who never knows a grouchy day. What? Kay certainly has been a shining light but we all wish her the best of luck at Tufts College next year. FLORENCE FORSYTHE âGood company makes short miles.â Girlsâ League (1, 2, 3, 4), Volley Ball (2), Basketball ( 1 ). âFlossieâ is a girl we all like to have around. She may seem quiet, but she has certainly managed to enÂŹ joy herself in high school. She has proved to be quite a typist, receiving awards on L. C. Smith, Remington, UnÂŹ derwood and Royal typewriters. She plans to return to G. H. S. for a Post Graduate Course. Need we ask why! ALFRED ISADORE FREGEAU âA little nonsense now and then Is relished by the best of men.â âAlâ is that cheery little fellow that we are accustomÂŹ ed to see with a flower in his button-hole. No wonder. Isnât he one of the reasons why the Greenfield Floral Company is successful? âAlâ is the president of the Commercial Club. He intends to work a year at the greenhouses of the Floral Co., before going to a busiÂŹ ness college. CAROLYN GERTRUDE FREGEAU âPatience and Gentleness is Powerâ Commercial Club, French Club, Girlsâ League. âKayâ is that little Miss you see hurrying about the halls with âthat smile that wonât come off.â She is a true-blue friend and a good sport. Carolyn is going to enter a Nursesâ Training School. Lucky patients. Weâll all be sick. THE EXPONENT 35 GERARD FRITZ âIt takes wit to see wit.â Assistant treasurer (4), Dramatic Club (3, 4), School Band (1, 4), School Orchestra (1, 2, 3), Seijior Play, âPirateâs Daughterâ, âGypsy Roverâ, Springtime Fete (2, 3), Manager of Football (4), Glee Club, Student Council. Of course you know Gerry! Heâs one of our quiet students. Gerry has taken an active part in the school life and has played an important part in the musical section. The First National Bapk is to be honored by Mr. Fritzâs presence next year. LUCIE GALBRAITH âTo know her, is to love herâ Commercial and Glee Clubs, Department Editor (2), Gypsy Rover (4), Basketball (1, 2). âLueâ may look quiet and meek but you should get better acquainted. She has never been president of our class but has done many other things, such as playing on our famous girlsâ basketball team and winkling secÂŹ ond prize in Junior prize speaking. She has made sevÂŹ eral plans for her future, but her latest decision is to work for a year. EDWARD MICHAEL GALVIN âLaugh and the world laughs with you.â Basket Ball (4), Tennis (1), Track Dramatic Club. When âEdâ graduates G. H. S. will miss his cheery countenance. He is quite an actor. He took part in the Senior play as a butler and as an attendant in âThe Vailiantâ which was produced by the Dramatic Club. âEdâ took the position of center on the Basket Ball Team. Well, âEd,â although you are uncertain as to whether you are going to college, we wish you luck. JOHN EDWARD GORMAN âSilence is his mother tongueâ Although Johnâs voice is never heard very often outÂŹ side the classroom, we know him to be a good scout. John played as a guard on our football team in 1927 and helped us to gain marCy victories. His future is undecided, but G. H. S. wishes him all the luck in the world. 36 THE EXPONENT MILDRED DOROTHY GORMAN âKnowledge comes; but wisdom lingersâ Spanish Club (2, 3, 4), French Club Secretary (4), Assistant Editor (4), Gypsy Rover Chorus, Pro Merito. Mildred is one of the quieter girls of our class, but those who know her and have broken through her quiet reserve find her a friend never to be lost. She is one of our Spanish sharks and has also had the privilege of teaching it. Mildred was one of the few who representÂŹ ed us at the Pro Merito convention at Springfield. She is entering Massachusetts General Hospital in the fall. ZYGMUNT GUTKOWSKI âIt is by speed that many of our best gains are made.â Science Club (1, 2, 3, 4), Dramatic Club (2), Paddle your own Canoe (2), Hockey (4). âZiggieâ may not be a thief but he has held up many a good man for only a small rubber-puck. Ziggieâs good defensive playing figured in all the victories. He is not only a good hockey player, but also a clever salesman when behind the counter of the âFinastâ store. âZiggieâ will continue his education in his native country. Good luck, âZiggieâ! LOIS HALE âA good neighbor is a precious thing.â Spanish Club (2, 3, 4), Commercial Club (1, 2, 3), Basketball, Volley Ball. Lois is one of our happy-go-lucky people. She has been very popular in her high school career and at graduation she will be missed by all her classmates. She plans to attend M. A.. C. next year. Hereâs to your sucÂŹ cess, Lois! VIRGINIA HARPER (âBUDâ) âWhen the catâs away, the mice will play.â Dramatic Club (3), Orchestra (3), Band (3), Glee Club (3 4), French Club (3), Junior Prize Speaking (3), Basket Ball (2, 3, 4), Tennis (3, 4), Cheer Leader, Pro Merito, Salutatoriap. Oh, yes, we all know our Bud. It was she, our faithful cheer-leader, who helped us to win the cheerÂŹ ing cup at the Franklin County Fair last fall. She has been an active participant in girlsâ athletics and she swung a mean racket on the tennis team. - Virginia showed us she could talk when she won first place in the Junior Prize Speaking contest. Of course her name appeared regularly on the honor roll, because she is the salutatorian of the class of â28. âBudâ plans to study music at Yale Music School. THE EXPONENT 37 MARGARET ESTHER HAWKS âA daughter of the gods; divinely tall And most divinely fair.â French Club, Honor Committee (2), Scholarship ComÂŹ mittee (3), Associate Editor (4), Basket Ball (1, 2, 4,), Jumping Center on Varsity Team (4), Volley Ball (1, 2, 3), Pro Merito. âEsâ is a good example of a genuir ' s American girl. She is a true friend to all and is always ready with a helping hand. She is a very studious girl, but in spite of this she is one of our star basket ball players. Esther is going to Middlebury in the fall and we know that she will be successful. MARJORIE PAULINE HEBERT âHappy am I, from care I am free; Why arenât they all contented like me?â High School Orchestra, Band, Friendship Committee, Honor Committee, Tennis, Basketball, guard. âMargeâ is one of our âall-aroundâ girls. Her achieveÂŹ ments are many. She can play basket ball as well as tennis and those that have seen her play know that she can keep her opponent hopping. Of course you all know how she can play the clarinet. Marjorie is going to continue her studies at Framingham Normal. CLYDE AMOS HOLBROOK âMusic hath charms to soothe the savage breast.â Senior Play, Hi-Y, French and Dramatic Clubs, OrÂŹ chestra, Band, Glee Club, and Operettas. We all remember Clyde as Sir Percy and know what he did for G. H. S. at Texas and Chicago. Outside of music and Dramatics Clyde has other ways of spending his timeâwalking over Rocky Mountain (not alone.) Clyde intends to study cello and supervising in the future. REGINA HORAN âYouth will have its fling.â âGenieâ is another one of those quiet appearing girls, but she is always ready with a little pinch when she passes by you, and classes would be rather dead if it were not for âGenieâs Pep.â She hopes to train for nursing at the Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City next year. Looks as if weâd all want to be sick! 38 THE EXPONENT DOROTHY LILYAN HOSMER âShe is, but words would fail, to tell thee what. Think what a girl should beâshe is that.â Dramatic Club, Athletic Editor Exponent (4), Girlsâ League, Athletic Committee, 1, 2, 3, 4. Dorothy surpasses us all in physical training. She has participated in all the sports ever created. She has been captain of class basket ball teams for the enÂŹ tire four years and also captain of Varsity Basket Ball Team this year. She was manager of Tennis Team three years and received numerals for track. Dorothy is one of the most popular girls and is a friend to everyone in G. H. S. The class statistics call her the best lookÂŹ ing girl in the class of â28. We are sure Ralph will agree with this. Dorothy goes to the Westward Bound American College of Physical Education, Chicago, Ill. EDITH JANET JOHNSON âShe is gentle, she is shy;â But thereâs mischief in her eye.â Spanish Club, Commercial Club. Edith is that shy little blonde from Room 15. We woi der what Minottâs would do without her. She has a great many outside interests. She intends to work next year. RUTH JOHNSON âAs well out of the world as out of fashion.â Dramatic Club (2, 3, 4), Commercial Club (3), BasÂŹ ketball, âThe Knave of Hearts.â. Wherever fun is, Ruthie is always seen. She is one of the peppiest members of our class and her two main virtues are a smile and nod for everyone. Ruth journeys to Wilfred Academy next year. ALICE MARGARET JUREK âLaugh and the world laughs with you.â Commercial Club (3). Among the members of G. H. S. nearly all of us are talented in some way. Alice is a shark at pitch. When she first started on her career she won the âbooby,â prize but she has progressed very well for now she takes home the first prize every time she plays. Alice is the friendly girl who decided in 1924 to come down from Colrain and go to school here. We were mighty glad she did this, because we enjoyed having her here. Most of her time she spends studying (?), but who kryows what she does with the rest of it. She has won many certificates in typewriting. She has also had a perfect record in attending âgymâ this year (?). Alice says she is going to work next year, but perhaps she means she is going to âput in her time.â THE EXPONENT 39 WALTER KALINOSKI âMy only books were womenâs looks. And follyâs all theyâve taught me.â Wally is one of us who looks for fun in everything. The whole class knows him and even some of the fair sex, too. He says he plans to go to Bay Path Institute. Whatâs the attraction, Walter? HELEN ELIZABETH KARTCHESKE âWrite me as one who loves his fellow men.â Commercial Club, Glee Club, Pro Merito, Basketball. Helen is one of the star commercial students who has managed to place her name ii4 the Pro Merito Society. Helen has won all sorts of medals and certificates in typewriting. She has also won the O. G. A. certificate for artistic shorthand writing and a Gregg Pin from the Gregg Writer Magazine for drawing a picture composed of shorthand characters. This picture was printed in the spring edition! of the Exponent. Helen represented G. H. S at the Pro Merito Convention held at Spring- field, Mass. She also attended the Connecticut Valley Contest held at Bay Path, May 12, to compete in the shorthand speed contest. Who could ask for any more achievements from any one girl? Helen is to honor Bay Path Institute with her presence next year. She will study to be a teacher and we know sheâll make a good one. ELIZABETH KINNE âHer heart is like a garden fair Where many pleasant blossoms grow.â Friendship Committee, Pro Merito. âLibâ doesnât know us since âDillâ graduated from a Ford, but in spite of this fact every one likes her. She is that petite, soft-hearted girl who always knows her lesson (?). Everyone knows Libby, so there is no need to write further. Elizabeth will continue her studies with âMargeâ at Framingham Normal School. ANNE KRAMER âAnything but history, for history must be false.â Girlsâ League, Commercial Club, Basketball (3). Youâll find Anne anywhere between Room 41 and The Fashion Shop. We think she enjoys her typewriting, especially when Miss Bushway is out of the room. We must admit one can accomplish a lot more when the teacher is away. She intends to remain as bookkeeper at the Fashion Shop. 40 THE EXPONENT HELEN CHARLOTTE KUNASKO âPatience is a virtue.â Glee Club (1), Commercial Club (3), French Club (4), Basketball (1). For four years we have had among us a very friendly girl. We all know Helen, the attractive soda-jerker at the Olympia Fruit Co. Oh Boy! What a sundae she can make! Helen has been very active during her school life. When in her Freshman year she played guard on the Basketball team. In her Junior year she was a member of the Friendship Committee of the Girlsâ League. During her Sophomore and Junior years she won numerous certificates and medals in typewriting. Next year Helen intends to journey to Fitchburg Nornial with a few of the other members of G. H. S. Bonne chance! EDWARD JOSEPH LA CHANCE âKindness, nobler even than revenge.â Football, Spanish Club. When it comes to friends Ed can boast an army, and itâs no wonder, for he is slow to anger and quick to forgive Ed expects to go to school next year, but where, he does not know. WILLIAM HERBERT LAMB âLaugh and be fatâ âHerbâ is a jolly, good-natured fellow whom everyÂŹ one knows in G. H. S. âHerbâ is not an athlete, but he makes up for it iq| his studies, as is evident by the apÂŹ pearance of his name on the Honor Roll. He will go to Bay Path Institute after his departure from G. H. S. Good Luck, âHerb.â FRANCIS JAMES LAWLER âA friend in need is a friend indeed.â Hi-y Club, French Club. âFrannieâ is one of our cheerful, but quiet classmates. He is seen but seldom heard. Just the same, what would we do without Francis ? He decided to join our class when he was a Freshman and weâre very glad that he did. Francis has made an excellent record at Hockey and Tennis. His future is as yet undecided. THE EXPONENT 41 LAURA LAWRENCE âA gentle disposition is an asset unsurpassed.â Howâs the âLizzie,â Laura? We hope she will drive down to see us real often after our departure. Her plans for the future are vague, but we hope that whatever she undertakes will be a great success. ELEANOR GRACE LUEY âTalking is one of the fine artsâ Dramatic Club, Girlsâ League, Class Basketball, ExÂŹ ponent. Eleanor always has a smile and a cheery hello for everybody, which accounts for her many friends. If you want to know what she does with her spare time, just ask a certain curly-headed football player. Eleanor goes to Miss Leslieâs School next year anid she carries our best wishes for good luck with her. MARIANNA CECILIA MASSUZZO âModesty and dew love the shade.â Glee Club. Marianna can be seen running around town almost any day, via Dodge Brothers. She claims she hasnât done anything during her high school career, but we know we should all miss her if she wasnât around. Her plans for next year are undecided. MARY ROBBINS MacDONALD âBid me discourse: I will enchant thine ear.â She says she hasnât done a thing, but we know better. She represented the school at the Commercial Contest at Brattleboro last year. Maryâs future remains to be seen. 42 THE EXPONENT DONALD JAMES MANIX âA good cause makes a stout arm.â âDonâ is that quiet lad who likes to frolic on the gym floor during lunch periods. He is not heard much in school, for his great deeds, such as running the A P Market, are done outside of class time. âDonâsâ future is like a dancer with one ticket and two beauties, undecided. KENNETH CALDWELL MARTIN ââWhat a dust I have raisedâ; said the fly on the coach.â Science Club. âKenâ is our funny fellow, brimming over with someÂŹ thing funny to say. No one knows whether he gets his inspiration while pumping gas or driving the Hudson. He is undecided as to what school to attend next year. RICHARD IRA MILLER âWine is the spice of life; let us drink deep.â When it comes to a paint brush or a girl, Dick is a magician. He will certainly be missed when the Gym has to be trimmed, or when a poster is needed. Dick goes to Pennsylvania Museum and School of InÂŹ dustrial Arts next year. Letâs wish him luck and sucÂŹ cess. GUY SHERMAN MINER âMy kingdom for a brush.â Student council, Hi Y, Science Club (1), Dramatic Club Vice President, Business Manager of Exponent, HonorÂŹ able Mention in Junior Prize Speaking, Honorable MenÂŹ tion in 1927 Poster Contest. Guy has held so many parts in plays he couldnât reÂŹ member them all, but he will not be forgotten soon. PlayÂŹ ing parts is not all he can do, as the inside covers of his books prove. We will have to admit Guy has his talents, and they should not be neglected, so he is going to deÂŹ monstrate his skill at the Philadelphia School of Fine Arts. Weâre with you, Guy. THE EXPONENT 43 EVELYN CHARLOTTE MORRIS âA merry heart that laughs at care.â Commercial Club (4), Pro Merito, Typewriting Awards. Evelyn is the girl who is always to be found in a dance hallâand can she dance?âask Joe? However, she seems to find time to study, as her name is always seen on the honor roll. She has won awards in typewriting and shorthand and plans to continue work along that line. CORNELIUS JAMES MURPHY âStrong and resolute, he faces the world.â Class Marshal, Football (1, 2, 3, 4), Basketball (3, 4), Baseball (2, 3, 4), Track (2, 3, 4). âConnieâ is one of the best athletes that G. H. S. possesses. He has played on all the major teams, playÂŹ ing guard and tackle on the Football Team, center on the Basketball Team, pitcher and first baseman on the BaseÂŹ ball Team, and has taken part in the high jumping and shot putting. He will go to Notre Dame next year. Good Luck, âConnie.â MARGARET HELEN MURPHY âIn that head lodged a mighty brain.â Commercial Club ( 3, 4), Glee Club (1), Pro Merito Society. Margaret is another studious member of the class of â28. Whenever we needed help on our history lesson we went to Margaret. She received many typewriting awards and O. G. A. certificate for artistic short-hand writing. She also won the O. G. A. Bronze Pin in shortÂŹ hand, as the club prize for having the best paper in the Greenfield Club. Last fall she attended the Pro Merito Convention held in Springfield. Next year she intends to enter Northampton Business Callege. ELIZABETH PACKARD NEWCOMB âA little stone may upset a large cart.â Dramatic Club (1, 2, 3, 4), French Club, Glee Club, Joke editor for Exponent. Betty is quite the actress. She carried out the part of the heroine in the Senior Play very well for a little girl! But beware of these little people. They are ofÂŹ ten dangerous! What say, Betty? Betty is full of pep and has helped to make high school interesting. Betty plans to attend the University of Maine next year. We wonder why. 44 THE EXPONENT JOSEPH ALOYSIUS OâBRYAN âAffections are the good Manâs treasure.ââ Joe is the fellow who is so fond of talking out loud in class, but despite this fault Joe has many friends. Joe is in the dark as to future plans. LEOLA AGNES OSGOOD âPatience and Gentleness is Powerâ Commercial Club. Havenât you often seen her bright red head going slowly down the corridor. She never hurries. She is quite a Commercial student and has won a medal in typeÂŹ writing and an O. G. A. Certificate in shorthand. Her plans for the next year are uncertain. MARJORIE PATTERSON âOn with the dance; let Joy be unconfined.â Commercial Club, Girlsâ League. Peggy has been with us these four years, and weâll hate to see her go. You may see her in room 41 clicking off the words, either with the typewriter or her own mouth âit all depends on whoâs ir? the room. She did take time to win several medals and certificates on a numÂŹ ber of the machines, however. We hear that she intends to work for a while and then train for a nurse. Does anyÂŹ one feel ill? Every success to her in her future underÂŹ takings ! EDWARD FRANCIS PEKALSKI âA Brave and Mighty Man is He.â Athletic Department, Baseball, Football. âEddieâ is another one of our light-weight? athletes who brings home victories (or defeats). His work on the gridiron may be remembered, but the brotherly team work with âStashâ on the court will not be forgotten any more than his Sunday teamwork with âStashâ and the Ark. Eddie plans to attend the University of NeÂŹ braska. THE EXPONENT 45 STANLEY JAMES PEKALSKI âEvery man is proud to call him friendâ Football, Basketball, Baseball, Track. âStanâ is one of our mainstays in athletics. He has been treasurer and assistant treasurer of his class, and was a member of the Commercial Club. We often see him in his Ford, rolling along the streets of the town. His plans for next year are uncertain, but we wish you the best of luck, âStan.â FLORENCE MAY VINCENT PERCIVAL âShe was made for large things; She will fill great places.â Commercial Club; Treasurer; Basketball; Volley Ball. Florence is that little (???) girl that played jumping center on the basketball team. She has very nimble fingers and has won prizes in both shorthand and typeÂŹ writing. She represented the school in the Connecticut Valley Contests at Brattleboro and at Bay Path where she won second place. She plans to do office work next year. We know she will be successful. BERNADETTE MARIE PETRIN âLet me give Light, but let me not be Light.â Commercial Club. Bernadette is one of our commercial members, both in and out of school. We know she has some very imÂŹ portant outside interests. F. W. Woolworth will cen- tainly miss her next year, for she plans to take up office work, but weâll bet it wonât be for a very long while. ELVIS PETTIROSSI âAs the wind blows, set your sail.â Vice-president of Junior Class, Dramatic Club, French Club, and Basketball. Elvis is one of our star girl athletes, and a jolly good scout. Ask âChuck.â Elvis has always been a promÂŹ inent worker on class committees, which decide the desÂŹ tiny of the social life in G. H. S. Elvis is in the dark as to her future. 46 THE EXPONENT EDITH AMELIA PIERCE âA few strong instincts. And a few plain rules.â Glee Club, Spanish Club.

Dorothy is going to take a short course at Bay Path Institute. ETHEL B. REUM âNothing is worth doing, unless it is worth doing well. Glee Club, Commercial Club, âPirateâs Daughter,â Basketball (1). For a while this year there seemed to be a question in our minds as to whether Ethel would graduate with us or not. She had the misfortune of spraining her ankle. This kept her out of school man weeks. HowÂŹ ever, when she returned she worked very hard so is still a member of the class of â28. When asked what she had done during her four years in G. H. S. Ethel seemed to think she hadnât done much. But we donât agree with her. In her Freshman year she played forward on the basketball team. She has been a member of the Glee Club, and in her Jur or year took part in the âPirateâs Daughter.â Ethel has won numerous medals and cerÂŹ tificates in typewriting and also the O. G. A. test cerÂŹ tificate for artistic shorthand writing. After graduation Ethel intends to continue working in the G. T. D. for a while. CHARLES EDWARD RICE âThe women are a fickle lotâ âChuckâ is a member of the Science Club and v. ' as president and representative to the Student Council for this club. Although he has not played on our teams, âChuckâ has been quite a star on the class baskeball team. He expects to go to some higher school of eduÂŹ cation when he leaves G. H. S. THE EXPONENT 47 MANUEL RISPLER âA candle under a bushelâ Commercial Club. âMannieâ came to us from that Little Old New York. He has made all sorts of friends by his gentle (?) acÂŹ tions, but has not improved his standing with the history teacher. Mannie is going to get a few pointers at the Springfield Sash and Glass Co., this summer, and then intends to run the Liberty Paint and Wallpaper Co. of this town. JOHN DAVIDSON ROBERTS âMan is nothing but contradictionâ A big silent man from the great open spaces, John breezes in every morning from the Shelburne Hills. Although he lets others do the talking he has a host of friends. John parks his Whippet at M. A. C. next year. RUTH AMY ROBINSON âNot without art, but yet to nature true. She charms the town with humor just, yet new.â Orchestra, Band, Glee Club, Treasurer of Spanish Club. Ruth has been one of the girls whom we have enjoyed havin g in our midst.

She intends to study at Lowell Normal School to be a music supervisor. JOHN CLEMENT SCHULER âLet not the man be trusted that hath no music in his soul.â Student Council, Senior Play, Hi-Y and Dramatic Clubs, Band, Orchestra and operettas. âClemâ is one of our talented musicians, and he has had no little share in bringing the high schoolâs reputaÂŹ tion in the musical world to its present high standing. Clement has represented the school far and near with a skill that makes us look to him with pride. He is more than a fine musicianâhe is a good friend. âClemâ intends to tour the world next year. 1 48 THE EXPONENT ARTHUR LAWRENCE SEYMOUR âWho wants to bother with girls?â Science Club (3), (4). Arthur is the âCountry Gentlemanâ, who comes to school every morning a la Essex. He is leaving us this year, but says he is not glad. He seems to have had a good time in school and he has been quite busy. HELEN SHEEHAN âFor a good poetâs made as well as born.â Commercial Club, (2, 3, 4), Girlsâ League. Helen tells us that she hasnât done anything during her four years among us, but we disagree. She represented G. H. S. with a few other girls at the typewriting conÂŹ test at Springfield and has won many awards on the Remington, Underwood, L. C. Smith and Royal machines. She is also a very original poet, but she has never published an of her works. Her future is undecided. EDMUND THEODORE SIMONDISKY âSilence is goldenâ âEdâ assures us that he hasnât done a thing, but weâll bet itâs a hard job to be as talkative as he is. Ed has averaged a nine in the âWoman-haterâ class, and from all the latest reports his mark is not going to drop. NorthÂŹ eastern claims him next year. ANNA MARIA SLONUS âAs merry as the day is long.â Glee Club (3) (4); Basket-Ball (2), (3), (4); Volley Ball (3). Always happy-ânever sad, thatâs Anna, or more comÂŹ monly known as âFieryâ. She has many smiles for everyÂŹ one, even her opponents, whom she always out-jumps in basketball. She was an outstanding center as well as a guard on the Girlsâ Varsity Team both her Junior and Senior years. âFieryâ says she intends to go to North Adams Normal School. Good luck! THE EXPONENT 49 ANNA THERESA STEINMACHER âA merry heart maketh a cheerful countenanceâ. Commercial Club. âAnnâ is that tall girl whom many love, all like, and no one dislikes. She has quite a hand for drawing. Did you ever go to a G. H. S. game and not find âAnnâ there? She stands for âLoyaltyâ. Annaâs future is a mystery. RICHARD HOWARD SUHL âAll things are common among friendsâ âDickâ says he hasnât done a thing. There must be some great attraction out of school. As yet he has made no plans for the future. EILEEN SULLIVAN âHang sorrow: care will kill a cat; Therefore, letâs be merry.â Commercial Club (2, 3 4), Girls ' League, VolleyÂŹ ball (1). âSullyâ is another of our happy-go-lucky girls. If you see any trouble or mischief youâll know who had a hand in the matter. All this takes place, mostly, on the ground floor where the commercial classes are heldâjust ask Miss Bushway if you donât believe it. She is secretary of our Commercial Club and has won several medals and certificates on the typewriters. Her future is undecided, but she is interested in Bryant Stratton CollegeâWe wonder why. , ELEANOR LOUISE THAYER âShe would utter opinions on all passing affairs.â Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4), Dramatic Club (3), (4), Spanish Club (3). Eleanor is the tall, stately girl of Room 17. She is a zealous art student and has contributed many clever sketches to the Exponent. Elearior believes in having a good time and letting the future take care of itself. Next year she expects to go to M. A. C. to study horticulture. We hope she wonât be lonesome. 50 THE EXPONENT JEAN BELDEN THOMAS âA cheerful life is what the Muses love.â Dramatic Club (3, 4). Glee Club (1, 3, 4). What girl or boy in G. H. S. has not heard of this fair young lady whose name is Jean? Jean left us her sophoÂŹ more year only to return the following year to find out that G. H. S. was the only place after all. We wonderâ is it G. H. S. or is it in the flashy football captain, Connie? Never mind, Jean. Who has forgotten the Senior play, in which Jean played ââLady Beauchamp?â There wasnât another who could have filled her place. Jean is going away next year to study Domestic Science and then she intends to teach it. The lucky pupils ! LUCILLE ELZIRA THOMPSON ââThat sweetest thing that ever grew Beside a human door.â Science Club (2), (3), (4), Glee Club (1), (2), (3), (4), Biology Club (4), Vice President of Science and Biology Club (3).i Lucille has done a great deal for G. H. S. during her four years attendance here, and, just imagine, she didnât miss one day!! She has displayed much ability in all musical activities. Lucile plans to attend Keene Normal School, taking the music supervisorâs course. DORIS ELIZABETH TUBBS ââOne good turn deserves another.â Commercial Club (2, 3) ; Glee Club (3, 4) ; French Club (3) : Pro Merito. Doris is another light spot in G. H. S. who is inÂŹ cluded in the quiet set (?) by most of her classmates. Do we all agree? Yes, it is true that she is quiet in some of her classes, but what about her favorite periods ? These were shorthand and type-writing. It is during these classes that Doris felt rather lively, so as a result enÂŹ tertained the class. Doris is another member of â28 that is talented along the music line. She is a shark at the piano and equally as good at the pipe-organ. BeÂŹ sides putting a great deal of time on her music during her four years in G. H. S. she has been so faithful to her studies that she has the privilege of having her name listed among the honored students of the Pro Merito Society. Doris was a representative of her class at the Pro Merito Convention held in Springfield this year and also competed in the Connecticut Valley League Shorthand Contest held at Bay Path Institute in May. Doris has won numerous certificates and medals in typewriting. She intends to continue with her music and some day become a second Paderewski. G. H. S. wishes you luck, Doris. SABRINA AURELIA WEEKS ââI would not exchange my smile for a fortuneâ. Spanish Club (2) ; Commercial Club (3, 4) ; VolleyÂŹ ball (1). We all know that the attractive, curly-haired girl with the contagious smile is Sabrina. She has been very acÂŹ tive during her school life. During her Freshman year she was a member of the volleyball team. In her sophoÂŹ more year she belonged to the Spanish Club and in her Junior and Senior years was a member of the CommerÂŹ cial Club. Sabrina has won many typewriting awards. After graduation she intends to step out into the business world and shine. Class of â2 8 wishes you loads of luck. Sab! THE EXPONENT 51 JESSIE WHEELER âBe glad, and your friends are many.â Spanish Club; Dramatic Club; Commercial Club; Dramatic Club Play. âJessâ is just another one of those speed demons in typewriting. She has won many medals and was one of the few sent to the Springfield contest for both typewritÂŹ ing and shorthand. We guess that she isnât so very slow out of school hours either. She took her part more than well as âMargotâ in the âWonder Hat.â Jessie plana to enter Bay Path in the fall. STUART WITTY âThe only jewel which will not decay is knowledge.â Hi-y; Dramatic Club; French Club; Science Club; Band; Orchestra; Glee Club; Pro Merito Student Council (1, 2, 3) Joke depât and editorial staff of âExponent.â Stuart is one of those boys whom everybody knows. He has shown us his acting ability by appearing in âSo This Is Londonâ, âPaddle Your Own Canoeâ, âPirateâs Daughterâ, âThe Gypsy Roverâ, âThe Valiantâ, and âTwo Crooks and a Lady. He has an inquirinjg: turn of mind and has certainly learned much that way. Stuart plans to go to Yale eventually, and we expect to hear great things of him there. BERNICE WOOD âAs fair as the sky in Juneâ Bernice is an inhabitant of that large city, not yet marked on real maps, called Whately. âBunnyâ acted very efficiently in the âPirateâs Daughterâ. Her future plans are- hazy; however, she thinks she would like to go to some art school. MARIAN ROSS YOUNG âBeauty is a welcome guest everywhereâ Vice President (1-4), Secretary (3), Glee Club, DramÂŹ atic Club, President Student Council, Senior Play, Gypsy Rover. Marian is one of our hardworking classmates who enÂŹ joys music immensely. We wonder why, but need we ask? Marian in tends to study music next year. We know that she will succeed. Whatâs Wrong with This Sentence? Kay Fleming doesnât go to Spring- field. âBudâ Harper canât make herself heard. Squeak Crawford never studies. Stuart Witty has his Latin lesson prepared. James Ballou never blushes in Miss Hamiltonâs room. Ed Flavin is seen without Mary. Orlo Fiske has a lesson learned. Lib Kinne doesnât ride in Ford coupes any more. Eleanor Luey isnât in love. Elvis Pettirossi refused Chuckie. Julia Bulman has flunked. Marge Hebert went by a mirror without looking in. Clyde Holbrook doesnât admire red hair. No more music: Doris Tubbs doesnât play the piano. Mary Blake has been arrested for disturbing the peace. Dot Hosmer canât remember a sinÂŹ gle story to tell. Tracy Burnham couldnât frame a novel alibi. Joe Bonitski didnât shoot a single basket in all winter. Lucile Thompson looked lonesome on her way to school.

Betty BattyââUneasy is the tooth that wears the crown.â Everybody has heard of the man who said to a stranger whom he found occupying his seat at church one Sunday morning: âExcuse me, sir, but you are oc- cupewing my pieâ. A near relative of this man was dining with a friend. They had startÂŹ ed on the soup, and the hostess was apologizing for it: âI am afraid you will find it seaÂŹ soned too highly,â she said. âWe tell Susan every day of our lives not to use so much salt and pepper in her cooking, but itâs no use.â âThe soup is splendid, Mrs. Hoot,â the guest hastened to assure her. âItâs exactly Susaned to seat my taste.â We wonder if Phil Murphy is still looking for that board-stetcher upon the sky hook.
