White 14 WILLIAM MARTIN AGOXIS “Bill” “Curly hair,” saith the sage, “is the gift of the gods.” Commercial Club (4). “Bill” is a very likeable chap of distinct personality. Many of his friends here in school think he is rather bashful and a confirmed woman-hater, but try and tell this to some people. “Bill” is undecided whether he will take over the manage¬ ment of the A. P. Store on Main Street or whether he will go to college. He is bound for success, anyway. ETHELYN ARLENE ALDRICH “Owen” “Knowledge rules the world.” President Pro Merito; Royal and Rem¬ ington Typewriting Awards; Exponent (2, 3, 4, Assoc. Editor 3, Editor-in-chief 4): Year Book Staff. Editor-in-chief; Pinafore” (2); Latin Club (3,4); Debat¬ ing Club (3, 4, Secretary 4); Assembly Orchestra (3, 4); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Student Council (3, 4, Clerk 3); Silver G; Valedictorian. “Owen” has been about the busiest girl in the Senior class. Besides being a member of the Pro Merito and Editor- in-chief of the Exponent, she has found time for out-door sports. She loves ten¬ nis and swimming, and is an especially good skater. “Owen” is always good- natured, and this has helped her win many good friends. We all wish her four happy years at Smith. BERNARD RIST ALEX “Bernie” “Born for success, he seems.” Football (1, 2, 3, 4); Basketball (1, 2, 3. 4); Baseball (1. 2, 3, 4); Track (2, 3. 4); President of Class (2); Senior Dance Committee (4); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Hi-Y (Secretary 2, 3, 4); Student Council (3); Prize Speaking (3). G. II. S. sports will not seem the same without “Bernie” playing. He is as popular with the girls as he is in ath¬ letics. Just recently he has taken up bridge playing. Wait and see, “Bernie” we won ' t tell all your purple moments. He is undecided about the future, but luck and success is with him wherever he goes or whatever he does. FRANCES ELLEN ALLEN “Fran” “The very pink of perfection.” Nice-President of Pro Merito; Year Book Staff; Belle of Barcelona” (1); “Pinafore” (2); “Pepita” (3); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Latin Club (3, 4); Archery Club (4); Salutatorian (4). “Fran” never giggles, never whispers (? ?) and always has all her lessons pre¬ pared. Her weakness is Corsiglia ' s drug store. We shall always remember “Fran” with mischief in her eye, for that’s just natural for her. She is un¬ decided as to what she will do next year, but time will tell. KATHLEEN ELIZABETH BAGLEY “Kay” “She is gentle, she is shy But there is mischief in her eye.” Year Book Staff; Dramatic Club (3, 4): Dancer in Operettas (1, 2); Secretary of Commercial Club (4); Secretary and Treasurer of Dramatic Club (4); Pro Merito; Royal and Remington Certifi¬ cates; Gregg Certificate; Filing Certifi¬ cate. Kay has been seen but not heard in the corridors of G. H. S. for she doesn’t believe in being noisy, but we surely would have missed her smile and sunny disposition. Kay’s” hobby is toe danc¬ ing, and she plans to travel to Europe in July to study this vocation. CHESTER BAKER “Chet” “Silence is Golden.” Football (3, 4); “Chet” is a quiet chap, but can you feature him being quiet in a football game? Girls never seem to bother “Chet” but he is quite a favorite with the boys. We hope that he will over¬ come his bashfuluess some day and give the “weaker sex” a break. Our good wishes travel with you in the future, “Chet.” RUTH ANN BALDWIN “Baldy” “A flower worthy of paradise” Archery (3, 4); Treasurer (3). Ann seems to be one of the quietest Seniors, yet when one really knows her, she is quite different. Her favorite sport is swimming, and on more than one hot summer’s afternoon her Ford may be seen at the swimming pool. Ann is planning to enter the Connecticut Women ' s College in the fall. PHILIP JOHN BANNACH Johnny” “Silence is deep as Eternity, Speech is shallow as Time.” Spanish Club (3). A quiet, demure, little boy at times. At times, how true, for when he gets with the rest in Room 14, how things fly! As yet his future is undecided, but whatever your decision may be, Phil,” our best wishes go with you. ALBERT GETCHELL BARBER “Ai” “That was he! He played the game.” Exponent, Assistant Manager (3), Business Manager (4); Stage Manager (2, 3, 4); Science Club (1). “Al” will be much missed next year by the teachers in charge of dramatics, for he has spent much time during the last four years in arranging the scenery on the stage for the many performances presented there. We hear that he was “just the one” to have as business manager of the “Exponent” and also that he “made a good job of it.” KARL HOWARD BARDWEI.L “Bardy” “He is the chap who makes things hum.” Track (4). Wherever Karl is, there is a rumpus. Yet he must be able to keep still for a few moments at least, for we have heard that he holds a high office in the Order of De Molay. 15 GERALD BERNARD BATES “Jerry” “He who laughs last usually doesn’t get the joke.” Class Historian (4). “Jerry” is a big boy with the deep voice and sunny disposition whose wise¬ cracks and knowing smile are things which those, who are fortunate enough to be intimate with him, greatly enjoy. Miss Childs ' English class wouldn ' t be what it is, if it wasn’t for “Jerry’s” bril¬ liance. Although “Jerry’s” plans are indefinite we all hope that he will go through life, with that unsurpassed smile, as well as he went through school. DELIA ELIZABETH BELTON “Betty” “There is no fire without some smoke.” Filing Certificate; Basketball (2, 3, 4); Year Book Staff; Spanish Club (3); Commercial Club (3, 4); Vice-President Commercial Club (4). “Betty,” that tall, stellar center, is to basketball what mustard is to a hot dog. Many a game she has helped win for the girls of G. H. S. When posses¬ sion of the ball was wanted, “Betty” promptly got it, — a valuable player, “Betty.” Best-o-luck, “Betty.” HELEN LOUISE BENJAMIN “Benjie” “Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.” Royal Typewriting Award; Basketball, Second Team (3); Commercial Club (3, 4); Spanish Club (3); Pro Merito. What a secretary Helen is going to make. She has everything, personality, ability and good looks. Helen is a quiet girl — to all those who do not know her intimately. Lots of people like to play tennis with her, but with such a teacher as Helen, who wouldn’t play? Success to you, Helen. CLINTON WILLIAM BERRY “Clint” “Still waters some day reach the Cascade.” Science Club (2); Aviation Club (4). “Clint” is the dark, curly-headed lad with the inclination to be always into some sort of harmless mischief. When he and his pal, Bates, get together there is sure to be some fun. “Clint” has been an active member of the newly organized Aviation Club. The Science Club has its interest for him too, as he regularly attends all the meetings. ANNIE HELEN BIRCH “More desirous than fame is friendship.” Commercial Club (3, 4); Chorus (3, 4). Annie” is an athletic little Senior who surely knows her basketball. She played on the class teams her four years and set the league on fire with her spectac¬ ular play. She is no mean baseball player either and many a boy has watched her, with envy, hit the ball far and wide. EDITH MABEL BISHOP “Edie” “She was of a gentle nature.” “Edie” is one of the quiet Seniors who is gifted with a “Crown of glory.” Per¬ haps her ambition is to be a modiste for she takes sewing and can tread a wicked sewing machine. At present she is interested in Gardner, but has not revealed any future plans. ROBERT TROST BITTERS “Bob” “Write me as one who loves his fellowmen.” Pro Merito; Football (2, 3, 4); Basket¬ ball (1, 2, 3, 4, Captain 4); Track (1, 2, 3); Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4); President of Class (1, 4); “The Boob” (3); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Hi-Y (Treasurer, 2, 3, 4); Glee Club (3); Dramatic Club (3, 4, President 4); Silver G (3, 4). “Bob” is our red-headed President, an all-round sport, name anything, basket¬ ball, football, baseball, or just inciden¬ tals. In spite of all this he wants to be an engineer. We assure Ohio Northern they have captured a prize. EARL HALL BOUTWELL “Boute” “Mild — yet he satisfies.” “Pinafore” (2); Band (1, 2, 3, 4); Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4); Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4); Assembly Orchestra (4). Another shy boy! My, we have a lot of them. But Earl ' s not shy on speed for he can be seen almost any morning taking the corner on two wheels in his Bitick. Earl plans to go to the Cleve¬ land Air Races this summer and to Wentworth this fall. ERNEST BROCKLESBY “Ern” “Silence is as deep as eternity.” Baseball, second team (2); Track (1). “Ern” doesn’t have much to say to anyone but he gets there just the same. Although he is quiet, he has a good many friends in and out of school. He says he has no future plans, but anyhow we wish him luck. CECIL BROWN “Cecil” “Be glad and your friends are many.” Band (1). Although Cecil may seem quiet, he is really full of fun. He is so busy working that he hasn’t had much time to devote to school affairs. Nevertheless, his class¬ mates will miss him greatly, for his good nature brightens up the class¬ rooms. 16 RUTH BROWNELL “Ruth” “Her smile is genial and her friendship true.” Pro Merito; Year Book Staff; Orches¬ tra (1, 2, 3); Assembly Orchestra (4); Girl Scouts, Troop V (4), President; Glee Club (1, 2, 3). Ruth always has a smile and a kind word for everyone, which accounts for her many friends. She has been called quiet, but not by those who really know her. Ruth is a ready participant in any fun. Strangest of all. however, she takes her studying seriously. ALICE MAE BRYANT “Al” “I like fun and I like jokes ’Bout as well as most the folks.” O. G. A. Shorthand Pin; Royal Certifi¬ cate; Basketball (1, 2); Captain Class Team (1); Year Book Staff; Commercial Club (3, 4, Treasurer 3, President 4). “Al” is the girl who always has a serious (?) look on her face. Wherever fun is, “Al” can usually be found. Her pleasing personality and good nature make her a favorite wherever she goes. We know that “Ed” will agree with this. “Al” plans to enter the business world next year. WILLIAM EMERSON CALDWELL “Bub” “All his faults are such that one loves him still the better for them.” Hockey (1, 4); Exponent (2, 3, 4); Vice President of Class (3); “The Boulle Cabinet” (4); Band and Orchestra (1, 2, 3. 4); Dramatic Club (4); Student Council (4). Everybody knows this quiet (?) little Senior for he has been popular during his high school career. He was recently elected president of the school band. He is also a member of our assembly orchestra where we see him playing away on his clarinet. “Bub” is dramatically inclined (?) for he had a part in the Senior play. Wasn’t he clever, though? There is a certain dark¬ haired Sophomore — but that’s for him to tell. . ROY EDWIN CALL “Ed” “He says little but thinks much.” Class Basketball (3). “Ed” is a quiet fellow and never has much to say. Although you have not heard much about him he has many friends. He was a prominent member of the class basketball tournament in his Junior year. KATHERINE ELIZABETH BULMAN Kay” “All are not saints who go to church.” Exponent (4); Glee Club (3, 4); Spanish Club (3); Science Club (4). Everyone knows “Kay,” that cheerful person who enlivens dull periods. She is one of the jolliest members of the class, but more than that, she is a friend to everyone. Kay’s outside interests have kept her very busy, but she has made many lasting friends here. She plans to return next year and take a post¬ graduate course. THELMA ROSAMOND CARPENTER “Thel” “Silence is woman’s best ornament.” Senior Commercial Club (4). Thelma is one of the many members of G. H. S. from North Parish. She plans to go to school when she leaves high school and we wish her loads of luck. NORA MAE BURKHARDT “Nannie” “Humor is the spice of life.” Nora is a girl who believes in looking on the sunny side of life. Although she hasn’t taken an active part in school activities, she has made a host of friends during her four years here. Nora is very witty and never worries about her studies. As for the future, Nora is as yet undecided. LOUISE HOWES CARSON “Kit” “And what she dares to dream of She dares to do.” Glee Club (1, 2, 3); Exponent (4). Louise has been one of these girls who always likes school (?). Well, never mind that, “Kit,” for we know that you have a big heart. Whether it’s to Stone- leigh or Katherine Gibbs School that you go, we know you ' ll have a good time. MARY AGNES BURNS “Mary” “With a roguish glint in her eyes.” Commercial Club (3, 4); Chorus (3, 4). Mary has not taken part in many scholastic events although she is known by many of her classmates. Mary is one of those ambitious girls; she wants to go to work when she leaves G. H. S. EILEEN MARY CAVANAUGH “Cavie” “Why can’t they all be contented like me?” Eileen’s thoughts are in Orange at present but she still thinks of G. H. S. She has not made up her mind yet what she wants to be, whether a hair dresser or a nurse. 17 BERNICE ISABEL CHAFFEE “Bernie” “The rising blushes which her cheeks o’erspread Are opening roses in the lily’s bed.” Varsity Basketball (3, 4); Year Book Staff; Commercial Club (3, 4); Vice President (3); Silver G Club, Executive Corhmittee (4); Pro Merito. “Bernie” Chaffee is that blond girl with the disarming smile who has made such a record on the girls’ varsity basketball team. “Bernie” is one of those girls whom the boys love to tease to see her blush! She is also a studious person, for she is a member of Pro Merito. She is undecided whether it will be “Hamp” Commercial or Bay Path next year. JANET MARIE COBB “Jan” “Good taste is the flower of good sense.” Pro Merito; Year Book Staff; “Miss Cherryblossom” (4); Latin Club (3, 4); Glee Club (3, 4); French Club, Secretary- Treasurer (3); Silver G Club; Exponent (4). The class of ’32 wishes lots of luck to “Jan.” We all know she will be a great success in whatever she under¬ takes. Her charming personality has won her many friends during her high school days. She goes many places in her car but M. S. C. seems to be one of her favorites. She hasn’t really decided what she will do next year. HELEN ALICE CICHY “Chickie” “Quiet, but all the more worthy.” Glee Club (3, 4); Commercial Club (3, 4). Helen is one of the quiet members of the class of ’32, although we are sure she has plenty to say to her pal. Rose, for the two are inseparable. Helen has been a member of the Glee Club and Commercial Club. All her classmates wish her luck in her commercial studies. CHESTER COOK CONANT “Chet” “Talking is one of the finer arts.” Hockey (4); Hi-Y (4); Science Club (2, 3); Aviation Club (4). Noisy all day long is typical of “Chet,” but a dull life it would be were there not any like him. If anyone ever heard a great commotion in Room IS, he didn’t have to ask who was the cause. He used to be called bashful but seems to have outgrown that stage. ROBERT EDSON CLARK “Bob” “Music is well said to be the speech of angels.” G. H. S. Syncopators (3, 4); High School Orchestra (1, 2); Assembly Orchestra (2, 3, 4); Band (1, 2, 3, 4). “Bob” is the shy, peace-loving fellow, who does not shout about his success, but accomplishes whatever he sets out to do. During his four years at G. H. S., he has played in all the orchestras at one time or another. What would the Syncopators do, without “Bob ' s” croon¬ ing sax? Bob’s plans are undecided, but we feel he will be a success at whatever he undertakes. DAVID PERRY CONANT “Dave” “I would rather make my name than inherit it.” Science Club, Treasurer (2, 3, 4); Archery Club (4); Aviation Club (4). David, unlike his brother, is seldom heard. He enjoys repairing automobiles and going fishing and hunting. When¬ ever anyone wishes to know something about autos he can get all the informa¬ tion he wishes from “Dave.” We know he will some day be a successful mechanic. VIRGINIA RUTH CLEVELAND “Jinny” “Those who are pleased themselves must always please.” Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Archery (3); “Pinafore” (2). “Jinny” is one of our tallest girls, who, in spite of her shyness, has won many friends by her charming smile, and mis¬ chievousness in the classroom. She is al so interested in sports, having gone out for basketball and field hockey. We musn’t forget her scholastic endeavor too, for her name has appeared on the honor roll many times. ELIZABETH PAULINE CONWAY “Lib” “I had indeed the folly to write it, but the wit to keep it to myself.” Elizabeth works untiringly at her studies but still has time to make friends with everyone. “Actions speak louder than words,” is the slogan which fits this quiet maiden. Here’s hoping you will be as successful after High School as you have been here. CAROL MAY CLIFFORD “Clara” “Her sunny locks hang on her temples like golden fleece.” Royal, Remington Typewriting Awards; Belle of Barcelona” (1); Glee Club (1, 2, 3, 4); Commercial Club (4). Who doesn’t know our own “Clara Bow,” Carol? She is the girl with the beautiful hair, who in spite of a natural reserve, has taken an interest in music and belonged to the Glee Club and been in an operetta. Carol has also made a record as a typist, and her fellow class¬ mates wish her the best of luck. OLLIE MAE COOK “Ollie” “She who achieves success does so because she has prepared for it.” Pro Merito; Latin Club (4); Student Council (4). Ollie is one of those people who believe in being seen and not heard. Ollie is heard in the classrooms though, when it is time to recite. She always knows her lessons and is willing to help anyone less fortunate. Although Ollie has been very quiet, she is a favorite among her classmates and we know she will succeed in whatever she undertakes in the future. 18 JOHN LAWRENCE CORLISS Bozo” On with the dance!

This popular Senior is known to about everyone in G. H. S. for his dancing ability. “Bozo” has been prominent in all school affairs, and is well-liked by his classmates. EARL JOSEPH COUTU “Earl” “Rare compound of levity, frolic and fun, Who relished a joke and rejoiced in a pun.” Earl is that fun-loving person who is a very agreeable companion to those who know him. Earl has not been very active in school affairs, but he has made many friends in G. II. S., and has also found time to work outside of school. EVELYN LOUISE CROSBY “Evie” “And as the bright sun glorifies the sky.

She has been one of the best-liked members of her class and we all wish her the best of luck. HENRY CLEMENT CROSBY “Henry” “Speech is reason’s brother, And kingly prerogative of man.” Archery Club (3, 4); Spanish Club (3); Debating Club (3, 4, President 4); G. H. S. Aviation Club (4). Almost everyone knows Henry, our great debater. Henry is full of fun, and brightens up many classes with his witty remarks. He seems to be greatly interested in Washington, I). ( ' . N ' est-ce pas, Henry? Henry is undecided as to what he will do next year. ARLINE DOROTHY CUNNINGHAM “Red” “W ere she perfect, one would admire her more, but love her less. We have learned that the way to make Red” happy is to give her a smooth dance floor, a snappy orchestra, and a wonderful dancer. Her idea of Heaven is to dress all day and dance all night. She plans to study to be a tech¬ nician at Mercy Hospital in Springfield. MARGARET IDA CUTLER “Buddie” “Push on — keep moving.” Field Hockey (1, 2, 3); Exponent (2, 3); Spanish Club (3); Archery (3); Cheer Leader (4). “Buddie,” as we all know her, has taken much interest in school affairs. What would we have done without her at the games, for wasn’t she one of our cheer leaders ? When it comes to Journalism Conventions we understand “Buddie” was always there. WESLEY WALTER DAME “Wes” “He needs no eulogy — he speaks for himself.” Treasurer of Class (4); Hi-Y (4); Spanish Club (3); Prize Speaking (3, First Prize); Dramatic Club (4). “Wes” is that tall Senior who has caused all the girls’ hearts to flutter when he talks to them. With his witty sayings and friendly smile, “Wes” has found many a friend, but this year he seems to center his admiration on a certain “little” Senior. Now that’s the long and short of it. JOSEPHINE THERESA DANILEWICZ “Jo” “Be glad and your friends are many.” Josephine is one of the more quiet girls around school, but we understand that she has been enjoying herself at many outside dances this year. Her future is undecided, but we can be sure it will be a happy one. MORRIS WILLIAM DEPEW “Indian” “Said and done. Done as soon as said.” Exponent (4). When a discussion is in progress Morris is sure to be there. He can tell many stories of the happenings in the “shack,” just ask him! His school activities have been few, but we can always see him present at our High School games. ESTELLA ELIZABETH DOREY “Betty” “Talking is one of the fine arts.” “Betty” came to us from Springfield during her Senior year. Since then she and Sarah have played all the jokes they can. Betty hasn’t been in many school affairs, but has made many friends nevertheless. We know she’ll make a perfect nurse, as she’s going in training at Northampton next year. 19 ANNA MAY DRUGAN “Ann” “Happy am I; from care I’m free. Why aren ' t they all contented like me?” Last fall “Ann” entered G. H. S. like a ray of sunshine, and she has remained the same ever since. In her too-short year with us she has made a great many friends. Art and men hold “Ann’s” interest. She plans to go to New York School of Designing to study. Bon voyage, “Ann”!

MARGARET KATHRYN DWYER “Peg” “A heart ever new To all always open To all always true.” Spanish Club (3); Commercial Club (4); Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4). Margaret is one of the few quiet girls in our class, and sometimes she isn’t so quiet. However, the quiet people make the best friends and “Peg” certainly has plenty of them. Peg” plans to go with her sister to Becker College. We know she ' ll succeed. MARY ELLEN DWYER “Mary” “To be merry best becomes you.” Spanish Club (3); Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4); Junior Prize Speaking (3). Mary is such a comfortable person to have around — with her deep, convincing chuckle, hearty good nature and dependa¬ bility. Mary and Margaret are insepar¬ able.

HARRY LIN WOOD DYER “Harry” “Words are women; deeds are men.” Harry came to us in our Junior year from Sanderson Academy. He played basketball his Junior year. Harry seems to think women are folly. Next year he plans to enter the business world where we know he’ll succeed. ROBERT BERARD EDES “Bob” “Words are women, deeds are men.” Class Basketball (2). “Bob” started his career in the class of ’31 but soon realized his mistake. He left school and later returned to our class, He is the quiet type and is not often heard from, but he has made many friends and we wish him the best of luck.

Who can forget Helen and her waffle parties? She attended all the games. She has helped the girls a great deal in their athletics and she will be greatly missed when basketball season comes around. But think of the break Wheaton is getting. She expects tcf attend there next year and take up some phase of chemistry. JAMES FAILLA “Jimmy” “To say nothing is the safest creed.” Football (2). “Jimmy’s” ski-jumping ability has won him great fame. He has represented the “green and white” in many out-of- town meets. In his Senior year he won the “John Haigis Cup” for the longest standing jump. He is undecided about his future but we know he will succeed. MARGARET THERESA FELLOWS “Peggy” “The happiest heart that ever beat was in some quiet breast.” “Peggy” is one of the quiet type that manages to get to school late nearly every morning.

Arlene might be known as a French doll, for with those little curls, she certainly typifies one. She has never entered many school activities, but Com¬ mercial Club has kept her busy.

Maverette is one of the quiet, indus¬ trious girls of the class. Every morning she arrives on the bus from Leyden Road and hastily enters dear G. H. S. to begin her daily grind. Because of the distance between her home and our school, we haven’t heard much about Maverette, but we all wish her success in the future. JENNIE IIEDWIG NIEDZWIEDZ “Peewee” “Friendliness is a virtue of success.” Royal Typewriting Certificate; Glee Club (2, 3). Jennie is one of our quiet, curly-haired friends from Millers.

PHILIP JOHN NORWOOD “Phil” Men of few words are the best men.” “Phil” is the greater of the famed Norwood brothers. Everyone has seen him doing his part putting up scenery on the stage. He was always good in helping out the high school in this way and that is why everything has gone smoothly under his management. You have probably seen him down street washing windows, and let us tell you he’s a good man to have around. In every way “Phil” is that quiet helpful young gentleman with that shy smile.

Genevieve has been very active in dramatics during her four years in High School appearing in every operetta during her stay here. JESSIE ELIZABETH OSTROSKI “Yez” “Oh Jessie fair, beyond compare! I’ll make a garland of thy hair!” Glee Club. If you should see a young girl, always smiling and cheerful, under a bright mop of fine hair, take a second look. Perhaps it is Jessie. We hear she- isn’t always the “quiet” girl one might con¬ sider her, but she is a girl of plenty of pep, vim, vigor, and popularity. We most certainly wish you success in your future life, Jessie. JOSIE MARY PANRIEVICH “Joe” “Virtue alone is happiness below.” Commercial Club (3, 4). Josie is a Senior girl who seems to keep things pretty much to herself.

MARTHA ELLEN PECK “Peckie” “A good sport is always to be sought.” Pro Merito; Exponent Staff (4); Year Book Staff; Glee Club (3); Latin Club (3, 4); Girl Scouts (4). Ellen, that studious girl from Rowe, is one of the best sports the Class of 1932 has produced. She will always try some¬ thing once, and usually gets there, too. Witness her Pro Merito and High Schol¬ arship record! We most certainly hope and confidently expect that she will succeed as well at Mount Holyoke next year. Here’s to you, “Peckie”! ALTHEA ELIZABETH PERSONS “Al” “My wealth is health and perfect ease.” “Belle of Barcelona” (2); Glee Club (1); Orchestra (1); Archery (3). If you are looking for a versatile, “perfect 36,” Senior girl, here you are. Althea is the picture of health (did you find it at the toboggan chute, “Al”?), attractive in personality, and talented in dramatics. We hear rumors that she is the much talked of Senior girl who is always seen with a certain Sophomore boy. Is that true, “Al”? 2S GEORGE ALDEN PETERS “Pete” “Trusty, dusky, vivid, true.” Behold the champion of absentees! George surely knows how to be missing from school! How do you do it? How¬ ever, his able assistance in the matter of stage properties easily makes up for this. Room A will miss his cheery smile next year, even more than his help in the auditorium, if possible. JUSTINE ELIZABETH PHILLIPS “Tunas” “And I oft have heard defended Little said is soonest mended.” You know her by her nice wide smile and cheerful frame of mind. Justine came here from Springfield last year. She doesn’t know what she will do next year; she is interested in hair dressing. Good luck and lots of it, “Tunas”!

P. market was opened. When it comes to chemistry, “Eddie” is right there. And can that boy blush! We are all acquainted with his cheerful smile and his wittv remarks. Next year, some prep school will receive this studious boy. WANDA CAROLYN PRUSICK “Toddy” “A very riband in the cap of youth.” Wanda is another who hasn’t decided just what she will do next j’ear. Haven’t we seen her in a certain drug-store “dishing” out ice-cream, and does she know her sodas? What ' s this about that car you sometimes come to school in ? KATHERINE MARY PULASKI “Kay” “And is there a care in Heaven?” Glee Club (1, 2); Commercial Club (3, 4). Who is the girl whose outward appear¬ ance leads everyone to believe that she is very quiet ? We who know her well, know that she is much more full of the dickens” than she seems. We’ve seen her in one of the stores in town, where she plans to continue her work for a time.

Sullivan Greenfield High School Orchestra 3S President’s Address P ARENTS, Friends and Faculty: I realize my rare privilege as 1 welcome you, in behalf of the class of 1932, to our Class Day exercises. It is with much pride that I shall introduce to you those of the class of ’32 who have shown out¬ standing scholarship during their high school days; those who have been chosen for ability by the faculty; those whom the class has elected and those who succeeded in competition. CLASSMATES: As we look back upon our four years spent in this high school, we wonder how the time has passed so quickly. We remember when we first entered this school. All was strange then, and the road that lay before us seemed endless. However, before long we became aware of the fact that in order to fulfill our hopes and ambitions, hard work was essential. Perhaps that is one reason why time has hurried by or maybe another cause is that we have so greatly enjoyed our¬ selves. We all have had many good times and have made numerous worthwhile friendships. Nevertheless, now that our high school days are nearly over, and we are going out into this wide world to various experiences, let us not forget our friends and those who have tried so hard to educate us. I know that every one of us has a feeling of regret in his heart, as he says “au revoir” to the happy scene of his high school days. Robert ' frost Bitters 39 Salutatory and Essay ARENTS, Teachers, Friends: I am very happy to extend to you, in behalf of the Class of 1932, a most cordial welcome to our Class Day exercises. To our beloved parents, we wish to show our gratitude and appreciation for their sacrifices, which have made it possible for us to be here to¬ day. To our teachers, who have encouraged and advised us throughout our school career, and to our friends who have helped in any way to make our school-days a success, we wish to extend our heartfelt thanks. Our Motto and the Future All through June, the words graduation,” education,” life work” are dinned into one’s ears. Throughout the country young people have been or are being graduated, and sundry wise men and women are addressing them on the difference be¬ tween school and life, and on the meaning of mental and moral development. Is the impatience we sometimes find manifested at the mere mention of those terms which suggest embarking upon life’s sea perhaps a little indication of a fear that lurks in the minds of certain restless individuals — fear of what lies before them; fear of that vast, un¬ explored, unknown, the future”? I shall ask you to consider with me what we have with which to combat that fear and help us to face the future with courage and confidence. Having finished our four years course in high school, we are each to step out into the world to do our part both for our own benefit and for the benefit of the people of this great land of ours. The question that presents itself to each and every one of us is: What shall be my life work?” We are quite naturally and properly con cerned with the place we shall take in the world. Already many have decided upon the walks of life that will mean for them success in the future. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, educators, business men and women of tomorrow are the high school graduates of today. Truly, the question of vocation in this era is an important one, worthy of serious and sound consideration. But I am wondering if perhaps the question that arises in the minds of most of our parents, and in the minds of thinking men and women today is less of What do we want our children to do?” and more ol What sort of men and women do we want our children to become?” A hundred people would give a hundred answers according to the limited views of each. A business man might say, I want my son to be a successful merchant”; while a cultured man might say, I want my son to be¬ come a perfect gentleman.” A larger outlook seeks for certain substantial in every man or woman — a fair equipment of knowledge, a fair intelligence, a fair judgment, a fair amount of energy, of cul¬ ture and refinement. But the most important of all is character, which we may define as life dominated by principles. We are told that little things are important by what they draw after them. Besides the know¬ ledge that we have gained in high school, besides the associations we have formed, the habits we have acquired, we have had during all that time a little thing,” which, for the very reason that we have always had it, we have come to accept as a matter of course. For that reason also, we some¬ times fail to give it the place it deserves in the lists which we have formed in our minds of all that we owe to this high school. I refer to our motto, which, in three words, demands of us standards of achievement, not always easy of accomplishment, but worthy at all times to challenge the best minds and the feeblest efforts. That motto is: Loyalty, Honor, and Scholarship”—a whole character¬ making program in itself. Our loyalty to home, to school, and to country has been tested during our school-days. Our loyalty to ideals set forth in Greenfield High School has been shown in our efforts to uphold the 40 good name of the school, in supporting its activi¬ ties, and in the record which we have made there. Today, unusual opportunities are presented to properly equipped young people, who have been trained by the hard experience of the present. To them also has been given a greatly improved knowledge of facts. More than ever before, the world today needs men and women of unswerving allegiance and of fidelity to ideals which will make our world a better place in which to live. One cannot believe in honor until he has achieved it. The money-making tendencies of the age and the prevailing social worship of the wealthy are responsible for wrong ideas and wrong ideals in the world today. False standards of life, of character, of play, and of friends are to be avoided if honor, which is a part of our most valued heritage, is to be guided and guarded. The vast store of acquaintanceship and even close friendship with the world’s heroic men and women as inspiration point out prominently the honorable lives which were the foundation of their success, and without which they would not have been called great. “Honor any man who, in discharge of his duty, dares to stand alone; whose sense of duty done is better than the applause of the world.” Pupils are prone to think of scholarship as only “excellence in studies.” But I would ask you to consider the word in a far broader sense. Not in books alone shall we find the values of life, but also in the sincere application of the best that is in us to whatever task lies before us. “There is quite as much learning in the analysis of an ear of corn as in the analysis of a complex sentence.” It is also true, as thinking minds have pointed out to us, that knowledge is essential to conquest, and only according to our ignorance are we helpless. This is the thought that I would leave with you: Henry W ard Beecher has said that all high ideals, motives, and sentiments in a man are of no account if they do not come forward to strengthen him for the discharge of his duties in the ordinary affairs in life. Let us, therefore, in the ordinary affairs of our lives, give thought and application to the allegiance to unswerving duty, the character and high purpose, the industry and diligence which are contained in the principles of our motto: “Loyalty, Honor, and Scholarship.” Frances Ellen Allen 41 Personality “When wealth is lost, nothing is lost; When health is lost, something is lost; When character is lost, all is lost! T HIS quotation proves the fact that per¬ sonality is an asset to anyone. Person¬ ality is individuality or a person’s character. To a large extent the elements of per¬ sonality which are visible externally reflect one’s innermost inclinations. To discuss this subject is to think only of the person’s character, not his intellect. Intellect is knowledge; but personality is the outward character of a person. Personality is decidedly an asset and not a liability. Its presence offsets, in many instances, certain otherwise essential ele¬ ments. It is important in securing success because a person with personality breaks down all barriers and paves his way to the goal of his ambition. Personality can be acquired. It is partially in¬ born, but, if it has not been inborn in a person, he can acquire it through a right environment plus genuine effort on his own part. Personality makes the highway of life much easier to travel. It is expressed in several different ways. The voice is the first and most important w r ay. The voice not only is a means of expressing one’s ideas and conveying them to other people but also is a means of determining what a person’s character is. A person’s carriage or walk also determines what his character is. Each and every person has a different walk which is distinctive of his own character. A criminal has a certain slouch which is characteristic of all criminals. A small child walks lightly and easily, perhaps runs or skips, which shows youth. Next we come to another way, probably less important, but equally as interesting — the way in which a person eats. The famous English writer, Samuel Johnson, is particularly interesting in this respect. Johnson was afflicted with a disease which made his actions very peculiar. He attended numerous banquets at wealthy homes. He em¬ barrassed his host or hostess by eating ravenously and bolting his food. He also chewed his food with great gusto which was distinctive of Johnson but annoying to the guests. Another queer incident pertained to a farmer who was visiting the city for the first time. While eating in a large hotel, he observed that the waiter served all the guests finger bowls at the end of the meal. He watched several people use them, and, when the waiter served him one, he remarked: “Well, I might as well use it to the best advan¬ tage.” Thereupon he proceeded to wash his face. I have cited these two incidents not for you to use as patterns for your table manners, but to prove that personality, pleasing or otherwise, may be shown in such a commonplace action as eating. “Personality is the keynote of success.” All great m en of the world have personality or they would not be leading men of the world. Lindbergh is one example where personality has helped to secure success. Napoleon, Washington, Lincoln, Theodore Roosevelt, and President Hoover — all have been successful in their chosen field. Why? The reason is because their personality was out¬ standing and made them successful. A young boy in a small town was anxious to get forward in the world. He started out to the city, and people remarked that he would never get any¬ where even though he had personality. Years later they read how “this certain boy with only person¬ ality” was a leading figure in the events of the world. Personality is a magnet which draws people to you. The most popular boy in high school may not be popular because of his “good looks,” but because his personality has drawn many friends to him, and his consideration has kept them. The fellow who is chosen captain on an athletic team is the boy whose character is worthy of such an honor. President Hoover is a leader of the present 42 day. His character won him this place. Leaders are people with personality. The presence of personality makes other essen¬ tial elements be forgotten. Helen Keller, who is one of the leading writers of today, has a person¬ ality which is not to be forgotten, but one which will be written about for many years to come. She has secured success and happiness, even though she is deaf, dumb, and blind. Franklin D. Roosevelt, a leading figure in the Democratic party, is also to be complimented on his sterling character. At the age of thirty-nine he was stricken with Infantile Paralysis, and the lower part of his body became paralyzed. In spite of this, he has risen to the greatest height of success. There are numerous cases of great people who, through the strength of personality, have overcome great difficulties. Personality is the foundation and one of the stepping-stones to success. Regardless of other obstacles, if you have personality, you can rise to your highest ambition. Daniel Webster has remarked that America has furnished the charac¬ ter of Washington to the world. Washington, because of his character, will remain immortal. Personality is the fundamental assurance of immortality. The presence of personality is apparent, and its absence is glaring. Develop personality. It is important. Therefore, make it your stepping-stone to success. In closing I wish to give you the “Creed” of Edwin Markham which it is well to remember in developing personality. “There is a destiny that makes us brothers None goes his way alone All that we send into the lives of others, Comes back into our own. I care not what his temples or his creeds, One thing holds firm and fast — That into his fateful heap of days and deeds The soul of a man is cast.” Gerda Laura Rosenziveig Following Guideposts E verybody has to follow guideposts sometime in life. When one is riding in an automobile, when one is walking, when one is talking, when one is doing almost anything, there are certain guideposts or signs which one must follow. It is very necessary that we have these in our lives just as we must have them on our pathways. Just think what the world would be, if we had no definite rules or guideposts for government. We would have no civilization, for everybody would be fighting everybody else. When anyone is out driving on a strange road, it is necessary that he look very carefully at all sign posts. If he happens to get on the wrong road, you know what the result is. He may travel for miles and miles before he finds out that he took the wrong turn many miles back. In life it is just the same; some people find out that they have chosen the wrong vocations many years too late; others find this out in time to do something about it. Most of the people in the world have guide- posts within themselves; by this I mean that they let their personalities be their pilots. This is noticed especially in small children, both boys and girls. Most of us boys used to or still do imitate our favorite heroes on the screen, stage or radio. In playing games the players try to imitate the player that they think is the best. For instance, a baseball player might watch his favorite pi.. , and then the player would immediately go out and imitate the big leaguer. There is usually a fairly 43 high percentage of accuracy in these imitations. Small boys and girls have the larger boys and girls for their patterns in life. Another guidepost which everybody follows is the customs and traditions of his country. When a foreigner comes to America, he is looked at by all the people. Why—? Because the country from which he has come has different customs and mannerisms than America has. It is just the same when an American goes to a foreign country. He seems rather out of place because he is not used to following the same kind of guideposts as the people of that particular country are. When a person who does not keep his yard clean moves into a community where the yards are clean, he is made the object of many people’s remarks. The reason for this is customs. It has always been the custom in that community to keep one’s yard clean; thus people cannot go against the customs as guideposts without causing much dis¬ cussion about themselves. In some sections of certain cities it is necessary to keep up appear¬ ances or else you may be in serious trouble. Traditions and superstitions are other guide- posts. After a tradition has been handed down for hundreds of years, it is unwise to go against that tradition. Why is it that people nearly always go around a ladder? It is because they are using superstition as a guide. In the days of the Puritans many people were persecuted as witches. This was because of superstition. Shakespeare uses superstition as a guide in most of his plays. In “Macbeth” he uses odd numbers as 3, 5, 7, 9, etc., and he always had the witches make their prophecies during a thunderstorm or else on a cold, bleak night. Many presidents of the United States have been elected for a third term, but did they accept it? No, of course not. Why— ? Because it has been a precedent or tradition that George Washington, our first president, started, namely — not to accept the office of president for more than two terms. Everyday you may see in the news¬ papers where people have not dared to do some¬ thing merely because it is traditional not to do. In the Southern and Western part of our country the people do not speak nor act the same as we do. It is because they are using traditions as a guidepost. They have inherited their manner¬ isms from their forefathers. If we Northerners go South, we think that the Southerners talk very slowly and use queer expressions. We think this because their speech is so different from ours. Their expressions have been handed down from generation to generation until it has finally become an unwritten law or another pilot. Each day there arc guideposts which are con¬ tinually being broken; these are the laws of our Nation. Even though we have police and special officers to try to enforce these, the officers do not succeed, and the laws are broken. Each day we see in the papers where someone has been arrested for violating the eighteenth amendment. Usually a still has been found and raided, and many gal¬ lons of liquor have been confiscated. Just now the United States is recovering from the awful kidnap¬ ing and murdering of the Lindbergh baby. These are examples of guideposts which should not he broken. The churches and schools of the world are guideposts. The churches teach us the right way of living, whereas the schools teach us the way in which to earn our living. The Heavenly Father is the most influential guide in our lives. When we are in trouble we look to Him above for help. Our school teachers are also guides in our lives. They teach us the development of our character and personality. It is very necessary to have these different guideposts in our lives. Just think what it would mean if we had no sign posts on roads, no customs, no traditions, no superstitions, no laws, no churches, no schools. Such conditions would make it impossible for there to be civilization in this world of ours. In life we must follow the right guideposts if we wish to be a success. Just as we must follow the right signs while driving on a strange road, so must we follow the right signs or guideposts in lite. One of the best ways to do is to let our consciences be our guides. Each of us may follow different guideposts, but, if we do what we think in our own minds is right, we have a very good chance of making a success and not a failure of our lives. Royal Kendrick Tanner 11 History of the Class of 1932 Characters: Gerald Bates and William Caldwell B ATES: “Hi! there, ‘Caldy’! What’s the hurry?” Caldwell: “Oh, I was just going out to powder my nose for graduation.” Bates: “We’ve got loads of time. Let’s sit down for a few minutes and talk over the past.” “Say, that’s an idea at that. Do you know that when this school loses our class, it’s going to be a tough break for old G. H. S.?” B.: “Oh, well, that’s understood — but just think of the break the world at large will get when we step out into it. Look at the material the political world is getting. .lust think of it, we have in our midst four people fully qualified to be future presidents.” ( ' .: “Speaking of presidents, our class has cer¬ tainly known how to pick them. In our Fresh¬ man year ‘Red’ Bitters was elected president.” B.: “Say, you know, ‘Caldy,’ if ever I have a son I hope he has red hair. ‘Red’ was sure an out¬ standing member of our class. ‘Red’ was promi¬ nent as Freshman and Senior president.” ( ' .: “For vice-president that first year we elected Isadore Smith. Helen Ellis was our secretary.” B.: “There was another office held there some¬ where; oh, I’ve got it. “Denny” Campbell was elected treasurer, the keeper of the bees.” “You know, there is something about the Freshman year that all those who attended will not forget. The Freshman Hop. Yes, sir, that was absolutely priceless. We were under no obligations other than eating all we could and keeping out of the way.” B.: “And the strict instructions from home to get home at a reasonable hour.” C.: “How about the athletes and musicians we have in our organization?” B. : “If we should discuss all the musical and athletic talent in our class, we should be here for a considerable period of time.” C. : “On second thought I guess we had better let that slide although our brass band has blown itself to fame. If we advocate this point too strongly, the class of ’32 will be forced to shine for another year.” B. : “That would be bad.” C. : “I don’t seem to remember much about the Sophomore year.” B.: “Our Sophomore year went over with a bang. ‘Bernie’ Alex was dropped into the president’s chair. Grace MacDonald and Arthur Jubb were vice-presidents. June Robbins was Secretary and another red head, Reynolds, was the over¬ seer of our gains-— class treasurer.” “Now, I remember. This was the year that Alex, Lalor, Bitters, Allen, Dyer, and a vast lot of others showed their mettle on the athletic field. Speaking of metal, steel was quite promi¬ nent on the baseball diamond. It was a great habit to steal bases.” B. : “We had become quite acclimated to the sur¬ rounding atmosphere by then and were a little less aware of our upper brothers.” C. : “That year we had the honor of entertaining the Freshmen in their annual christening. As I think of it, I cannot help laughing at the way some of those young green ones would scram out of the way when Cecil Brown came swishing and scuffing down the dance floor.” B. : “Yes, how they did sense impending peril. C. : “In our Junior year Lalor was elected Presi¬ dent of the class and captain of the football and hockey teams.” 45 B. : “And captain of his own counsel, which lie kept.” C. : “Yes, Yes — ‘Deb’ Hunt was elected vice- president, ‘Russ’ Allen held down the secretary’s responsibilities and John Corliss was class treasurer.” B.: “This was the year of the Junior prize speak¬ ing in which ‘Wes’ Dame and ‘Deb’ Hunt captured honors.” “The rest of the strivers were Alex, Ruggeri and Mary Dwyer, and my how they strived.” B.: “We shall not forget the outstanding event of that year.” C “What was it?” B. : “The repeal of mid-year’s exams. Our Senior year seemed to go before it started.” C. : “Yes, Bitters was unanimously elected presi¬ dent and —” B. : “There’s my red-headed son again.” C. : “‘Deb’ Hunt, our talented musician, was elected vice-president, with the aid of Wesley Dame as the other vice-president.” B. : “Oh, yes. There has to be a male in the hook¬ up somewhere.” C. : “Helen Ellis was elected treasurer.” B.: “That was the year that the class of ’32 took charge of all activities in the school: the captaincy of baseball was held by ‘Bernie’ Alex, ‘Ham’ Richardson was elected captain of foot¬ ball, Seymour was elected captain of hockey, and Bitters was captain of basketball.” C.: “Then the class put on the Senior play, ‘The Boulle Cabinet,’ in which ‘Deb’ Hunt and ‘Bob’ Reynolds played the leading parts.” B.: “Sec! There’s the red hair again.” C “ ‘Busty’ Ruggeri, ‘Ernie’ Goldstein, Cerda Rosenzweig, Myrtle Talbot, Martell Seymour, ‘Ham’ Richardson, and ‘Dick’ Kulya made up the rest of the cast.” B.: “We do not want to overlook the noble work of ‘Al’ Barber, George Peters, and ‘Phil’ Norwood, back stage.” (.: “We also had Senior dances once a month under the supervision of the class president and a dance committee which he appointed from time to time.” B.: “Speaking of dances, look at the active part taken by Senior members in the Hi-Y com¬ mencement dance.” C “Yes, sir, that is an affair that is an affair.” B.: “The class of ’32 was not only active in these outside activities, but look at the people we have with us who know their studies. Think of the competition Ethelyn Aldrich and Frances Allen were up against, being valedictorian and salu- tatorian of the class.” C “Gosh, how time flies! I’d better be going, or I shan’t have time to powder my nose.” B: “Well, ‘Caldy,’ we certainly haven’t a kick coming as far as the reputation of the class of ’32 is concerned, and we sincerely hope they keep up their good work after leaving good old G. H. S.” Gerald Bernard Bates ’William Emerson Caldwell 4G Prophecy of the Class of 19 2 Time: 1977 B. C. — Before Crossing. Setting: This side of the River Styx. C HARON, our good friend, probably some of you have never heard of before. He is the man who rows the people across the River Styx. He has a long white beard, a very dirty one, too, and he is quite old himself because this occupation is all he has had during his im¬ mortal reign. The River Styx, you know, is the river you must cross when the spirits decide which place it is you will inhabit — maybe Hades and maybe — lots of places — So now, you have before you, my dear fellow classmates, the River Styx. You arc requested to use your imagination as much as is possible. Deb: “Charon tells me he took a group of athletes over yesterday. Among them were Bernard Alex, star coach at Gill Institute; ' Bob’ Bitters, star pitcher of horse shoes; Edward Lalor, the wing that was left of the Chicken Hockey Team; Earle Richardson, the big egg smasher from the West; and Edward Powers, his under¬ study, who made “Fireman Save My Child,” the national yell; Martell Seymour of See-More and Do-Less University, and Anthony Trela, the man who put the run in running pants; while Chester Baker was national checker champion.” Ikes: “That reminds me, Charon wouldn’t take Frances Nellie Allen, Ph.D., Dean from Anne Drugan’s Female Seminary; and Ronald McCloud, graduate with B.S. degree (Backward Student) from Powers Institute. However, Charon carried over the big hotel men: Walter Grant, Morris Depew, and Norman Roberts, who ran their hotels on the American, European and Installment Plan; Colfa and Steveola Stasinopoulos, “The Banana Queens”; Ernest Goldstein, the Broadway Columnist who saw all, heard all and knew nothing; Eleanor King, the opera song-bird sometimes known as the ' local girl who made good,’ while the great inventors were Zigmund Simondisky and Stanley Lahosky of Doorless Doorknob fame.” Deb: Then there was Royal Tanner, president of the “Snip and Snoop” Club, which had for its members such notable snoopers as Moe Rispler, Arthur Fregeau, Robert Harper and Arthur Jubb. Also there was the big movie queen, Heather Glasle, who married more times than you have corns on your feet; and Margaret Weir, the temperamental actress, 90% temper and 10% mental; while Evelyn Crosby was the brunette who went off platinum blonde standard.” Ikes: “And did you get the ' lowdown’ on Stanley Malkavitz, Henry Clement Crosby, Joseph Miskinis and Sebastian Ruggeri, the ' Rambling Ramblers’ who did most of their rambling in Turners Falls; and Helen Ellis, the great woman auto racer who never knew what she was driving at?” Deb: “Oh, yes! Did you know that Charon also transported Augustine Kamienski, the Congress¬ man, who did away with the Soldier’s Bonus, by defining it Bonus, Boni, Bonum; Ann Baldwin and Virginia Cleveland, a collide of girl aviators who were good to the last drop; Guy Gray, the biggest thing in radio; and Anna Looney, Madeline Johnson, Arlene Murley, and Lillian Mark well, who were going to the old country when the James Failla Construction Company built the bridge?” Wes: “Among the next contingent were Robert Reynolds, the Maniac of Melody with his raving maniacs: Robert Clark, William Caldwell, Francis Johnson, George Gordon Gilman, Richard Ivulya, Earl Boutwell, and Donald Tatro; and the national outdoor wide open ten¬ nis champions, Marion Maynard, Helen Benja¬ min, Myrtle Talbot, June Robbins and Arline 47 Whipple. Then there were ‘Kay’ Moleski, Bernice Chaffee, Sarah Me Kenney, Grace Mac¬ Donald and Betty Belton of the B. B. B. (Blonde Basketball Brigade). There were also Harriet Smith, Isadore Smith and Louise Smith of Smith, Smith, and Smith Attornevs-at-Law, headed by the honorable Judge Franklin Smith.” Deb: “I also saw transported Albert Barber, Philip Norwood, and George Peters, big pro¬ ducers of that smashing Broadway success: Wenonah Longstreet’s ‘Play Boys’ that starred Gerda Rosenzweig, Chester Conant, Gwendolyn Groce, William Agonis, Rachel Jellyman and Louis Richardson. This success was highly criticized by the leading critics, Ruth Gaines and Catherine Griffin.” Wes: “Did Charon tell you about David Conant, Professor of Aesthetic Dancing; Kathleen Bagiev, Mistress of Ball-room Dancing; James McCain, Missionary Preacher in China; Gerald Bates, Principal of Brattleboro High School; William Luev, Bishop of Walla Walla; Ruth Yeaw, Ollie Cook, Janet Cobb, Kathryn Bul- man, Wilhelmina Kelly and Julia Merz, debu¬ tantes who came out to break into society; William Metcalf, the chemist who knew his oil; Frank Sledzik, Cecil Brown, Dwight Norwood, the renowned mathematicians who traveled in the 4th dimension?” Deb: “There was Fred Lovell, the great lawyer, who handled the great case of Jeanette Nash, the famous movie star. Women wept and strong men like John Witek and Harold Thayer munched their chocolate bars when he told the pitiful tale how injustice was done her in the portrait drawn by Francis Lincoln. Kathleen McAuliffe, Ellen Peck and Effic White bought out the bakery business of Perry Wilder and Donald Wood, the men who had been in the dough for twenty years and made the hole in the doughnut famous. Then came the zero hour for Rena Poulos and Doris McCarthy because they ran a refrigerating plant. The three aviators who circled the fish-globe in five days were William Weissenborn, Walter Schwarz and Joseph Sindut. The Richards sisters, Muriel and Hope, were the great radio stars who made lamous that great melody ‘When It’s Dinner Time in Kentucky I’ll Be Eating Breakfast in California,’ written by those well-known com¬ posers, Helen Lamb and Althea Persons. Josephine Danilewicz, Jessie Ostroski, Josie Pankievich, Marteil Metzler, Annie Birch and Jennie Niedzwiedz were Ireland’s gift to the swimming world. There was also Gwendolyn Reid, the one time burnt toast of Broadway and her play-girls, Alice Bryant, Marion Miskunas, Katherine Pulaski, Wanda Prusick, Olga Metelica, Louise Lilly and Gertrude Vickery. Marjorie Mayham, Annette Weld and Alma Richason were the models whom everybody saw on the back of magazine covers. Wellsley Thompson and George Spear, the two great bears of Wall Street who paid thousands of dollars for a seat on the stock exchange, were outdone by Victor Synder, who bought a seat at Welcome’s and Phillips’ big department store for two dollars and ninety-eight cents.” Deb: “Don’t forget Ethelyn Aldrich, editor of the ‘Greenfield Sun,’ which boasts of such feature writers as: Ernest Brocklesby, ‘Household Hints’; John Ward, Sports Writer: Helen Underwood, ‘Fashions of the Day,’ Berta Wood, ‘How to get Your Man,’ William McLintock. James Griffin and Walter Finn, Comic Strip Artists.” Wes: “Oh, yes! there were our great broadcasting stars: ‘Radio’s Love Birds’: Ellen Weatherhead and Evelyn Robinson; ‘Daily Hints for House¬ wives’: Frances Strecker; ‘Love Problems and Aids to Beauty’: ‘Kay’ King; ‘Care of the Feet’: Betty Dorey; ‘That Trim Figure’: Ruth Howard; ‘Singers of the Blues’: Robert Harper and Evelyn Ivratz; ‘The Gossipers’: Mildred Hutchinson; Ruth Hammond, Betty Harris and Ruth Hastings. There was Margaret and Mary Dwyer of Bedtime Story Fame.” Deb: “Can you imagine Ruth Brownell, Worthy Matron of Eastern Star; Philip Bannaeh, presi¬ dent of Clinton Berry’s University? Carol Clifford and Arline Cunningham were the girls who worked all their lives to make it possible for their daughters to attend the University.” Wes: “There were also present Eileen Cavanaugh and Mary Burns, chess champions who were always just one jump ahead of their nearest 48 competitors, Thelma Carpenter, Marie Learnard, and Maverette Newcomb.” Deb: “I also witnessed our great Kathleen Norris, Louise Galbraith, and the big garage man, Charles Foster, with his chief mechanic, Harry Dyer, and head stenographers, Elbe Kopec and Marion Uzdavinis — incidentally the firm that sold Jack Kramer his last Model T number, the motor that you couldn’t hear, not even when it stalled. “Do you remember Marshall Hammond, the notable peas, beans, and barley man from the North, Margaret Cutler and Edwin Call, who went in for hairdressing, dyeing and shampooing on a big scale?” IFes: “Did you hear about those who returned to G. H. S. before they crossed? They were Betty Dunnigan, who became head of the Math Dcp’t; Margaret Fellows who instructed gymnasts; Robert Edes who gave a tasty course in cooking; and Virginia Freese who was a Latin enthusiast while Margery King, Helen Koldis, Nora Burk- hardt, and Rose Krol made typewriting a major sport?” Deb: “I witnessed James Hurlburt, the second Macaulay, who had the gout and so wrote all his works in iambic feet; Neola Morris and Genevieve Olszewski, who never had a blue Monday because they owned a laundry! John Corliss, the author who wrote that sensational novel about the ups and downs of life entitled ‘Life in an Elevator.’ ” IFes: “Look! Here comes Edith Bishop, Helen Cichy, Earl Coutu and Karl Bardwell which makes a boatful, counting the two of us. Now we can cross with Charon!” Ivy Song Tune: “All Through The Night” Old Welsh We are plant-ing thee, 0 Ivy In Mem-o-ry, And to Life’s work now departing We’ll happy be.

Kathleen E. Bagley ' 32 49 Pleasure in Duty T HE statement has been made by Franklin P. Adams, a contemporary writer, that the word “ought” should not be in the same sentence with the word “pleasure.” However, I think that this quotation of George Jean Nathan, a prominent critic, more nearly expresses a way to happiness: “But duty may often best be per¬ formed, if it is viewed more as a pleasure than as a job.” The reason for the unhappiness and failure of many people is their inability to unite duty and pleasure. If one’s work seems merely boring drudgery done to make a living, no outside pleas¬ ures can bring enough enjoyment to offset the un¬ happiness caused in his task. Furthermore, this discontent and the attempt to drown it in outside merrymaking may often impair one’s ability to execute his tasks. If everyone could love his work as did the old- fashioned carpenters, shoemakers, and other artisans, Utopia would not be so greatly desired! Nearly everyone has read the story of the shoe¬ maker who loved to make shoes so well that his grief was extreme because he had no more leather with which to continue his work. If a similar situation might occur at the present time, I fear in most cases the cry would be, “Oh, dear! now I won’t have enough money to go to the movies for a week!” or “Alas! What terrible calamity has be¬ fallen wretched me, that the Fates should keep me from being able to join the Country Club!” Cathedral builders also must have loved their work in order to put such beauty into the build¬ ings, as in Salisbury Cathedral in England. Nothing can surpass this beautiful edifice, queen of English cathedrals, in lightness and grace, unity and simplicity of design. Built in the form of a double cross, it has a single spire, which is con¬ sidered the most beautiful in the world. It con¬ tains as many windows as there are days, and as many marble pillars as there are hours in a year. The builders of this cathedral must certainly have derived satisfaction in this achievement of beauty and grace. No matter how uninteresting and monotonous one’s work may seem, there is always something interesting and satisfying to be found in every position. The many sad and tiring visits that a doctor makes are greatly overbalanced by the pleasure derived from having saved human lives. In any position where one encounters many people it is always of interest to observe the personalities and actions of these people. The life of a student can also be made more enjoyable if he considers that it is a privilege to go to school to acquire an education and prepare for the future. There are many other pleasures for the student, but I do not mean the kind of enjoyment such as some pupils derived by counting the steps of the English professor while pacing back and forth in the class room to determine the number of miles he would travel during one period. I think you will find that most successful men have enjoyed their work, for that is really part of the success. One of the outstanding examples of this type is Thomas Alva Edison, who has done so much in the electrical field. Only enjoyment of his work could have caused this genius to minimize his amount of sleep so that lie might have more time for his numerous experiments, which did so much to help advance the world. William Lyon Phelps, of the Yale English Department, is a living example of one who thoroughly enjoys his work. In fact, he derives such great pleasure from it that the pleasantest thought he has on rising in the morning is the necessary work that awaits him. As all children do, he used to look forward to Christmas, Fourth of July, and other holidays with great anticipation, but now, he writes, each day is so full of pleasure that he doesn’t have to wait for holidays to find happiness! Success! Happiness! that is what everyone is seeking! Perhaps you might find this statement by Nicholas in his “Boileau-Despreaus” a helpful motto: “The rule of my life is to make business a pleasure, and pleasure my business.” Ethelyn Arlene Aldrich 50 Valedictory C LASSMATES: We have had many pleas¬ ures in G. H. S. and have accomplished much under the friendly guidance of our teachers. We deeply appreciate the efforts of the citizens of Greenfield to give us a good opportunity for an education. With the memory of these pleasures and the use of the benefits gained we will leave G. H. S. to seek happiness both in our work and our play. As Robert Hovey states in his poem, “Unmanifest Destiny”: “I do not know beneath what sky Nor on what seas shall be thy fate; I only know it shall be high, I only know it shall be great.” Ethelyn Arlene Aldrich Class Song So we, the class of thirty-two, Our hearts and spirits strong As sadly, tenderly, we sing To you our parting song. Enfolding walls have held us close ’Mid joys and sorrows, too. Yet faithfully we’ve kept our course Dear G. H. S. for you. Now let us raise our voices strong In one last hymn of praise. The memories will linger on Though fleet-winged pass the days, We hope that those behind us Will keep the standard true Loyalty, honor and scholarship For the class of thirty-two.

During the spring months the club held “mail” matches with several larger high schools in five different states, and up to May 18 had lost but one match. The club feels that archery offers an opportunity for social and healthful development, together with an opportunity to develop good sportsmanship and a hobby for leis ure time.

Membership in the troop has doubled and the meetings, which are held each Monday evening, have been very interesting. The first part of the year was devoted to charity work. Since Christmas much time has been given over to the formation of a Drum and Bugle Corps. The Rotary Club provided the instruments and the instruction. In May, the Corps witnessed the state com¬ petition at Boston. In addition to these activities, Troop V held a rummage sale and a card party, both of which proved to be very successful.
