Q EDUTURIHLS REB! - THE CORRIDER CROW Lately I have had reason to accuse Carrie Crow of being a sentimenta- list, which charge, however, she flat- ly denies. Draw your own conclusions, though. Yesterday I found her sing- ing wretched jingles like this: There's a corner in the heart of ev'ry crow Reserved for loved ones she may knowg And the corner in my heart when all is said and done Is for the graduating class of nine- teen thirty-one. Believe me, I certainly crowed over Carrie until she called me all sorts of names, accused me of being crow- footed, and even threatened to crow-n me with a crow-bar. Carrie has a vio- lent temper which she can't seem to control since she's had her tongue slit. I really think, though, that Car- rie's show of favoritism for the Sen- ior Class is quite indiscreetg at least, I shouldn't want rumor of it to get around the corridors for fear of a- rousing jealousy. By the way, such strange actions have been going on in the corridors lately. Carrie and I were knocked nearly unconscious by a full-fledged ball game and wrestling match taking place on the third story. That's why Carrie and I prefer the Senior corridor, for it is always so quiet and orderly. Well, Carrie and I both dread to say good-bye. We decided that a telegram would be the swiftest and most tear- less way. We should like you to know that it was quite expensive,-the tel- egram, I mean. Western Union Telegram Best Wishes and Happy Returns of the day stop Be good children stop When you are old stop and begin to fuss stop remember us. Carrie and Jim Crow stop--for good. EDITORIAL THE SCORNERH Recently I came across an invective against the spirit Thanksgiving which prompted me to write a reply. I am going to read the words of the Scorner first and then my reply. The Scorner has said in his heart: There is no good, I find no signs of it around me. Evil walks about in broad light seeking what it can de- vour, men kill men, poverty crushes childreng the wicked sit in high places g storms destroy usg the sun scorches usg the winds blow cold. En- vy, hatred, greed and violence are everywhere. Then why should I be thankful? To whom do I owe a debt? Thanskgiving also is a humbug. Dio- genes was right: if you would iind goodness, you needs must search with a lantern. To the Scorner There is much good in this world. 0, Scorner, I see it in all about meg you do not see it because you do not want to. You say that evil walks a- bout in broad light. Why don't you try looking in the cracks and crevices for the good? Evil may stalk in the broad light, but when it tries to force itself into the innermost regions, it is checked by good. According to your point of view men kill men be- cause evil prompts them. You are wrong. Men kill men only when there is dire need of killing. When THE HOLTEN 7 they do resort to war it is from some unselfish beautiful motive. They kill to protect their country, their homes, their families. They kill to free them- selves from bondage, to make them- selves better men. The Wicked as you say may sit in high places, but they are not always going to remain there. Any high place that is held by a person not deserving of it is too high for him and eventually he will fall from his lofty perch. Do I hear you say that many wicked men have never fallen from their lofty perches but have enjoyed every advantage during a lifetime? I will admit that many have. No one in this world has the power to prevent them. But in the next world each one of these will face the Almighty Father. He is Om- nipotent and it is he who will punish and put down the mighty from their seat and exalt them of low degree. I should think that you could learn from the examples of certain great men in our country that poverty does not crush childhood. Rather, the child born in poverty is sensitive be- cause of it and is determined to leave it behind, as he matures. He succeeds because in his heart he worships men like Lincoln and sees that even though born into poverty they have struggled to the top of the ladder. The fact that a child is born poor in- spires him to a great ambition, the ambition to be somebody in spite of his poverty. Poverty does not crush a childg it uplifts him. You claim that storms destroy us, the sun scorches usg the winds blow cold. It is a well known fact that men do not live forever. Death is an in- evitable thing. If storms do not des- troy us something else will. Then, storms are not as dangerous as you would have us believe. Heavy storms are not frequent and the whole na- tion is not wiped out by them. I am certain that you would feel the lack of those foods that require the heating sun if the Almighty sud- denly decided to please you. You would also quickly tire of weather that was neither warm nor cold. Without doubt you would long for a cool breath of the winter Winds. I am afraid that you want a perfect land, and since nothing is absolutely perfect, there doesn't seem to be much hope for you. You are one of a few who are dissatisfied with all phases of the weather. If the earth should become as you want it, what would you do with the Negro or the Eskimo? We must think of -others be- side ourselves. So you don't think you owe anything to any one? In my opinion you owe a debt to the coun- try for even tolerating you. I cannot begin to enumerate the debts you owe to your government. The government protects your property and your life. The government educated you. You have the wrong impression of your- self if you think you are totally in- dependent of everybody and every- thing. Like Diogenes you think that there are so few honest men in this world that you need a lantern to find one. Like him you purposely close your eyes to the good and obstinately per- sist in hunting out the evil. Diogenes was wrong. If you would find good- ness you needs must only openyour eyes. - Dorothy Hart, '31. 8 THE HOLTEN Q ,L iifiigi iii Qfiliflis LITERARY VALEDICTORY Mahatma Gandhi: His Personality and Power There is no figure in the world to- day more important or more interest- ing than Mahatma Gandhi. Although his activities center in India, his sig- nificance is to the entire World. Gandhi's great political objective is the gaining of Swaraj or home rule for India. The desire of India for in- dependence is not remarkable. The leaning toward self-government in the East is one of the inevitable results of the World War. During the war India had been led to believe that some measure of independence would be granted her in return for her loy- alty and support. When, therefore, at the close of the war, Britain's promises were not regarded as being satisfactorily fulfilled, the spirit of India was awakened to revolt. It was at this point that Gandhi assumed the leadership of India. Mahatma Gandhi was brought up as an orthodox Hindu of the third caste of trade and agriculture. In de- fiance of Hindu custom and sanction, he was sent to England to study law. It was during his three years in Lon- don as a student that Gandhi came in contact with the doctrines of na- tionalism and of democracy, which were to influence his future life. Having passed the bar examina- tions, he returned to India and at- tempted to build up a law practice, but as a lawyer he was a failure. His natural timidity and shyness were a- gainst him, and his refusal to prose- cute for debt or to accept cases which seemed to him unjust lost him many clients. Then occurred the incident to which the world owes the discovery of Gandhi. He accepted a legal case in South Africa. While there he saw racial prejudices against the Indians which stirred the depths of his soul. Determined to free his Hindu bro- thers from their shameful oppression THE HOLTEN 9 at the hands of the white race, he became their leader, launching for the first time his policy of passive-resis- tance. Gandhi defines passive-resistance as follows: Through love he says, we seek to conquer the wrath of the English administrators and their sup- porters. We must love them and pray to God that they might have wisdom to see what appears to us to be their error. It is our duty to let ourselves be slain, but not ourselves to slay. If we are cast into prison we must ac- quiesce in our lot without bad feeling, hate, or any sort of revenge. In the struggle in South Africa, lasting six years, Gandhi was in a large measure successful. It is to his credit that in spite of his conflict with the government he holds nothing against the English as a people. He has often declared him- self a lover of the British Empire be- cause it stands for racial equality and freedom of conscience. But although he accepted the theory of government expressed by the British Constitution as being founded upon justice, he soon became convinced that the ad- ministration of the Constitution in India violated all the principles of that Constitution. Upon his return to India at the be- ginning of the World War, Gandhi re- mained. loyal to England' both because he wished to prove India worthy of self-government and because he be- lieved that the Allies were fighting to make the world safe for democra- cy. He immediately enlisted for am- bulance work for the entire term of the war. When he became physically unfit to carry on he recruited soldiers in India encouraging Hindus and Mo- hammedans alike to fight the Ger- mans and the Turks. At the close of the war came dis- appointment. The Government's at- tention was focused on India, but in- stead of self-government, it gave on- ly more representation and certain civil rights to the Indians, none of which satisfied the Nationalist party. Then followed the great program of non-violent resistance, using love, faith, and sacrifice as its instruments. If all India had sincerely followed Gandhi's ideal of passive-resistance, his plan would have met with some measure of success. But many Indi- ans were incapable of the exaltation and sacrifice demanded in order to re- frain from violence. The result was a riot at Amritsar, in quelling which the government used the utmost cruelty and violence. Gandhi then, supported by the all-India National Congress, precipitated the movement called Non-Violent Non-Co-operation. This movement called for the res- ignation of Hindus from all govern- ment offices, the withdrawal of Hin- dus from the government schools, the refusal to pay taxes or perform mili- tary service, the withdrawal of Hin- du funds from government bonds, and the boycott of government courts and British goods. Gandhi also ad- vocated the restoration of the spin- ning wheel in the homes of India as an immediate and practicable solu- tion of the economic problem of pov- erty and starvation. It will be seen upon examination that these methods of Gandhi are the aims of an idealist. It is hardly conceivable that in a ma- chine age a nation can accomplish in- dependence by stepping out of the in- dustrial world and by returning to conditions of the past. This whole program was to be car- ried out without violence, for to Gandhi no end is worth while which requires open warfare in its attain,- 10 THE HOLTEN ment. He prefers to fail without vio- lence than to succeed with it, and if India cannot obtain freedom by pass- ive resistance, she cannot, in his opin- ion, obtain freedom with bloodshed. But once again India proved un- able to remain non-violent. There were dreadful riots at Bombay and Chauri Chaura. Gandhi issued a statement acknowledging the revolts as the third warning from God that India was not yet spiritually ready to carry out the policy of non-violence. Amid the angry cries and bitter words of his followers he courageous- ly withdrew the whole movement on the ground that it was degenerating into mob rule. In this hour of out- ward failure Gandhi rose to the greatest spiritual heights he had ever reached. Politically he had failed, but morally he had won his greatest vic- tory-the victory of the soul. It was at this point that he was ar- rested and charged with sedition. Al- though the government knew that he was not directly responsible for the outbreaks at Bombay and Chauri Chaura, it believed that indirectly he was to blame. The trial which follow- ed was one of the most remarkable in history and Gandhi pleaded guilty. In his great speech to the court he said, I do not ask for mercy. I do not plead any extenuating act. I am here, therefore, to invite and cheer- fully submit to the highest penalty that can be inflicted upon me for what in law is a deliberate crime, and what appears to me to be the highest duty of a citizen. The respect in which he was held by the court is evidenced by the words of Judge Broomsfield, It would be impossible, he said, to ignore the fact that in the eyes of millions of your country- men you are a great patriot and a great leader. Even those who differ from you in politics look upon you as a man of high ideals and of even saintly life. In sentencing Gandhi to prison for six years, the judge fur- ther said, If the course of events in India should make it possible for the Government to reduce the period and release you, no one will be better pleased than I. In 1924, after serving two years of his term, Gandhi was forced to un- dergo a serious operation. Upon his recovery he received full pardon from the government and retired to his school, where he remained until 1929. During these years he was looked up- on as a lost leader. But recent events have proved to the contrary, and Gandhi is once again at the helm guiding toward self-government. The 'greatest contribution of Gand- hi to the world is his own life, which bears a remarkable analogy to the life of Christ. He has vowed himself to poverty and developed Christ-like powers of self-control, fortitude, and forbearance. All his actions have been marked by gentleness, simplicity of soul, humility, and forgiveness of enemies. Christ's sermon on the mount has exerted a tremendous in- fluence upon his life. He accepts Christianity as a moral doctrine, and practices its principles to such an ex- tent that he has been called a better Christian than many Christians. Yet for all his devotion to Christianity he remains steadfastly a Hindu in faith. For him personally the religion of his people is best, for it offers all that is necessary for his inner development, in that it teaches him to pray. Within his frail body lies an indom- itable soul. In his idealism he en- larges his own cause to make it the cause of humanity, saying, Home Rule is not really our goal. Our bat- tle is really a spiritual battle. We, the miserable outcasts of the Orient, We must conquer freedom for all hu- THE HOLTEN I1 manityf' In his ideal he is far ahead of his times. This ideal, if followed as he believes in it, would solve the problem of world peace. For only when the individuals of all nations truthfully and soulfully live the doc- trine of non-violence, will war be a thing of the past. Whether Gandhi succeeds or fails politically, his moral influence upon the world will be great, for, in the words of Archibald Henderson, the greatest victories of life are not won on the battlefieldg the spoils are not always to the victor, nor to the con- queror always the palm and the crown. Gandhi has wrested his vic- tory from defeat, and the end of souls that have not known defeat is victory. Cecil Peterson. CLASS ESSAY You can weigh John Brown's Body well enough, But how and in what balance Weigh John Brown. A few years ago, somewhere in southern France, a young man was thinking of John Brown. The man was descended from a bold Mexican bandit with Spanish and Irish blood in his veins, and on this day he was dreaming of John Brown. Since he was a poet and had the romance of Spain in his heart, he quickly dis- carded John Brown's body from his mind and dreamed only of his soul. And of a sudden he told us in these lines what he imagined John Brown was: Sometimes there comes a crack in time itself, Sometimes an image that has stood so long It seems implanted as the polar star Is moved against an unfathomable force That suddenly will not have it any- more. Call it God or Fate, Call it Mansoul, That force exists and moves, And when it moves , It will employ a hard and actual stone To batter into bits an actual wall And change the actual scheme of things. John Brown Was such a stone-unreasoning as the stone Destructive as the stone, and, if you like, Heroic and devoted as such a stone. Around this image Stephen Vincent Benet wove his American Iliad, John Brown's Body. This unusual poem is a complete picture of every phase of America's life during the Civil War. Benet presents his story in short, separate sketches which, he weaves skillfully together to produce his whole pattern. First of all, we meet the young Connecticut Yankee, Jack Ellyat. We follow him into the army, as a battle fugitive, and as the lover of a girl in the Tenn- essee woods. In contrast to him is the proud, aristocratic southerner, Clay Wingate, loyal to his light-foot- ed sweetheart, Sally Dupre, and to the Black Horse Troop to which he belonged. These two stories are fol- lowed each one to its end. With these main tales, in brief flashes We see John Brown's seige, his trial, and his executiong we see Lincoln in the White House 3 Spade, a runaway slaveg the battles of the war, from 12 T THE HOLTEN Harper's Ferry to Appamattoxg great men and small men. But Benet's purpose was not mere- ly to paint pictures. He was a poet whose duty it is to interpret the pic- tures that he has painted. He reveal- ed the heart of a runaway slave or the soul of a general with the insight of a poet. He wrote a book that was not a book but living men. He look- ed into men's souls and made them live again for us. Listen to his des- cription of the death of Stonewall Jackson: He lay on the bed After the arm had been lopped from him, grim and silent, Refusing importunate death with ter- rible eyes. Now and then He spoke, with the old curt justice that never once Denied himself or his foe or any other The rigid due they deserved, as he saw that due. IF Pk Pk PF 2 Pk H4 Dk PF The slow time wore. They had to tell him at last That he must die. The doctors were brave enough, No doubt, but they looked awhile at the man on the bed And summoned his wife to do it. So she told him. He would not believe at first. Then he lay awhile . Silent, while some slow, vast reversal of skies Went on in the dying brain. At last he spoke. All right , he said. She opened the Bible and read. It was spring outside the window, the air was warm, The rough, plank house was full enough of the spring. They had had a good life together, these two middle-aged Calm people, one reading aloud now, the other silent, They had passed hard schools. They were in love with each other And had been for many years. Now that tale was told. They had been poor and odd, found each other trusty, Begotten children, prayed, disliked to be parted, W Had family-j okes, known weather and other matters, Planned for an age ,they were famous now, he was dying. The clock moved on, the delirium be- gan. The watchers listened, trying to catch the words: Some awed, one broken-hearted, a few, no doubt, Not glad to be there precisely, but in a way Glad that, if it must happen, they could be there. It is a human emotion. The dying man Went back at first to his battles, as soldiers do. He was pushing a new advance With the old impatience and skill, over tangled ground, A cloudy drive that did not move as he willed Though he had it clear in his mind. They were slow today Tell A. P. Hill to push them-push the attack- Get up the guns. The cloudy assault dispersed. There were no more cannon. The ground was plain enough now. He lay silent, seeing it so, while the watchers listened. He had been dying once, but that was a dream. The ground was plain enough now. He roused himself and spoke in a dif- ferent voice. Let us cross the river, he said, and rest under the shade of the trees. THE HOLTEN 13 The author besides being a poet is wholly and undividedly American. As a representative of America in this modern era he has sought for indi- vidualism in style and thought. His style is unique, for the poem is writ- ten in blank verse, in free verse, in rhyme, and in prose. His poetry is rugged, clean cut, and vivid. The fact that he was the first ever to at- tempt an epic of America is proof enough of his individual daring-call it inconstancy, changeablness, or what you will. He attempted to catch the spark of Americanism and put it into his poem. In his Invocation, which is one of the finest examples of good verse today, he describes the genuine American literature and ex- presses the hope that he may capture the American Muse. That he realizes the greatness of his undertaking, the adverse criticism and the failure to appeal to another's imagination is stated in these lines: American muse, whose strong and diverse heart, So many men have tried to under- stand But only make it smaller with their art, Because you are as various as your land, As mountainous deep, as flowered with blue rivers, Thirsty with deserts, buried under snows, As native as the shape of Navajo quivers. And native, too, as the sea-voyaged rose. Swift runner, never captured or sub- dued, Seven-branched elk beside the moun- tain stream, That half a hundred hunters have pursued But never matched their bullets with the dream, Where the great huntsmen failed, I set my sorry And mortal snare for your immortal quarry. Yet, as we hunt you down, you must escape And we pursue a shadow of our own That can be caught in a magician's cape But has the flatness of a painted stone. Read casually with the mind of a realist the poem has the fiatness of a painted stone, but we can catch the inmost spirit of its substance in our magician's cape, our imagination. That underlying spirit is the spirit of John Brown. He was the stone hurl- ed from the Stone Mountain, War, which struck and slowly crumbled bit by bit the strong barrier of slavery. He started all the other stones in the mountain on their way and they struck the wall with even greater force. And as the war was fought, the slaves were freed, North and South were one again-yet what was Benet's conclusion? Has anything changed? Even though the wall was broken down, was it and all it signi- fied completely blotted out? No. The slaves of industry still remain: labor is the slave of capital: poverty is the slave of wealth: personal freedom is the slave of convention. John Brown, your spirit is here and well needs to be, for- Nothing is changed, John Brown, nothing is changed. l Caroline Butler. 14 THE HOLTEN THE MEMORY FLOWER Dear Mothers and Dads, Friends, and Teachers: Time is again up to his old tricks. He is again flinging into the Past what were the Present and the Fu- ture for us, but unfortunately we can still cling to what has gone before. There is a flower called Memory which grows in old-fashioned gar- dens. In the full bloom of its season, the blossom iiames blood-red, but as the days pass on, whiter and paler grow the petals. Memory has been the inspiration and conviction of na- tions and religions, it has wafted its fragrant aroma to dispel moments of great despondency and bewilder- mentg and always has it been our gentle guide and reminder when fool- ish impetuosity would have led us to the yawning verge. Within the blossom cup of every Memory flower, there nestle the mem- ories of many things 3-yet those memories which remain the freshest and most fragrant are the simple pleasures of Life. Those pleasures which at the time appeal so vividly to the five senses are the pleasures which quickest fade. The pleasures which bring deep satisfaction to the soul are the true pleasures. When we feel content with what Life has offered, when we no longer feel an urge for an indefinite Something, then we are experiencing complete en- joyment. To be contented, however, and to fall into a rut where neither ambition nor outside interest stirs are two vastly different states. Con- tentment is by no means dormant, for it, too, rises still to meet certain idealsg yet in time of failure, content- ment has a solid foundation to fall back upon, while the disappointed star-gazer falls through empty space. Contentment dwells in solitudes where Nature has her own sweet way and holds a store of rich discoveries for the keen eye,-discovery both in our surroundings and in ourselves. How little we hold communion with ourselves, how little we know our- selves. Too quickly we reject our own higher thoughts, for they seem to have no proper setting in the modern lives we lead. We are continually im- poverishing what is noble and fine in us for what is more commonplace, we are subordinating the fine themes of the old masters to the trivial ex- pression of our age. While we con- tinue to live with our eyes averted from what is real and what is truly beautiful, with our thoughts always a part of the mob's mixing bowl, we shall never really know ourselves. We need to seek the solitude of the woods and to lie upon some bank of pine- needles where the sun is warm and the smell of the earth is all-pervading, and where there is the drowsy hum of drowsy insects,or the stealthy crack- ling of the twigs disturbed by a cu- rious bird. We need to see the pine trees rising boldly and independent- ly with the blue of the sky above, and Infinity beyond. Then we give free rein to those hitherto suppressed thoughts, then we experience true pleasure. The farther we try to travel away from Nature, the greater is the jerk that pulls us back. All man-made in- ventions upon which we put such a premium are after all only the proper application of Nature's resources. The resources have always been there, but not the eye keen enough to perceive. Each eye was placed where only one THE 1-IOLTEN 15 ray might fall that it might bear wit- ness of that ray. Down on the wide sandy shore, with waves splashing their jewelled crests in patterned designs upon the beach, with a white sail musing on an indefinite horizon, with a cordial sun warming us to idleness, and a salt- laden breeze, refreshing our appetites as no hors-doeuvre could do, we won- der vaguely what good our mechani- cal miracles are, anyway. Nature teaches us to distinguish between the false and genuine values of life. When the sun is very persuasive, and the breezes most caressing, the petals of the Memory flower unfold as far as they can. All the pleasant memories come trooping over the edge. One of the very loveliest mem- ories that have ever unfolded for me was a quiet and most unassuming river trip I once took. The river was neither large nor un- usual in any way, but the memory of this trip is ever fresh in my mind. We started out in a small row-boat. The sun was commencing its long- drawn-out farewell for the day. At first the rowing was easy. The broad lily pads caressed the blunt prow as it gently passed over them. We were going directly into the sun it seemed and the great light hurt our eyes, but as we advanced the sun sank gradual- ly toward the horizon, gleaming invit- ingly between the tall pines and low shrubs. The shores grew extremely wild and Nature's fancy seemed sat- isfied. It was very, very quiet on this little river, save for the regular dip of the oars, the gurgling rush of wa- ter along the prow, and then the tiny splash of pearly drops from the gleaming blades. In a dark sequester- ed nook we suddenly saw a blue heron which might have been transferred to his lily pad from a bit of rose me- dallion china. Tranquil and graceful, he stood upon one long leg. We tried to paddle up to him without his per- ceiving us. Nearer and nearer the boat slipped toward him. Almost there--but he heard and flew away to the bosom of the forest. We went on up the river. Presently a barrier loomed up,-a thickly wooded shore. So this then was the end of the river. No. What had appeared a barrier turned out to be a wooded island on the other side of which the river me- andered on again. Two men were fish- ing there. They had stopped content with the spot. Silently we went on. The water was shallow in places. Oc- casionally a restless perch splashed about or a turtle was disturbed from his late suntan-bath by our coming. Green slime like a gossamer floated just below the water surface. Lux- urious crops of sedge coarser than wild oats but as fresh-looking choked up the water-way in many places. We went on and on. The end must be near. At last we found ourselves in a perfect maze of devious winding streams with the wind blowing through the sedge making it ripple and billow like the water. Night was coming on fast. Huge jagged night clouds piled up in the sky, crossing like swords the last wee gleams of the forbidden sun which still beckoned, -invitingly. We could advance no further, yet we had by no means reached the end. All about us many new streams were commencing all o- ver again and ending as abruptly. We were in the midst of severe desolation and even mystery, but the joy of hav- ing followed the main stream that far was supreme. The urge still com- manded us 'to go on'. All through the course of our high school life our class has been making a similar trip up the river. Tonight's graduation has brought us into the maze Of infinite opportunities stretch- 16 THE HOLTEN ing far away into the sun. We have often thought that there were insur- mountable barriers along the way like the wooded shore, yet they all turned out to be islands, we have passed by the fishermen who stopped contented. All the obstacles overcome we realize now that we are only commencing. Although it's rather lonely in this maze with the night setting in, al- though in our bewilderment we can't quite see the way, if we wait patient- ly for the morning sun, the blue heron will fly before us with his delicate wings oustretched. Again the old urge arises, 'go on' and we set out, pioneers of Life itself. Elizabeth Merrill. CLASS HISTORY Perhaps, my friends, you'll be sur- prised to learn that We've gone high brow . At least we've either become intellectual or High-brow and the former supposition is so imaginative that we've decided the latter theory must be correct. But don't worry. We've gone high-brow only in-so- far as we attended an exhibition held last week by a colony of artists. And perhaps you'll excuse us for that, when we tell you that four of the most promising exhibitors were our friends, Vaso Papamachail, George Danforth, Eleanor Carleton and Leo- nora Maynard. Remember how Vaso made a specialty of pictures of the teachers fwhen they weren't lookingj on the blackboards of the Holten High? We weren't at all surprised to find George Danforth represented. His drawings have always been so modernistic that they could be taken for anything the one-to-be-pleased de- sired .As for Eleanor Carleton and Leonora Maynard the class always knew that such talent as theirs was sure to make the owners famous. Of course, we were more than eager to see their work. If you care to spend an agreeable hour come, in imagina- tion, with us as we review the pic- tures. The first was by Miss Eleanor Carleton. Here we are on our first day at high school in 1927. We are all gathered in groups in the assembly hall looking anxiously toward Mr. Dunn, with Wonder on our faces as if we were anxious to know where we were going and what was to happen to us. Mr. Dunn is standing on the platform greeting us with an enormous grin. Even then he must have had a pre- monition of what was to come. Oh--what have we here? Perhaps a fire, perhaps a murder. Groups of boys are running through a doorway in an enormous hurry. A person sit- ting behind the desk is of ghostly pallor. Students pour through doors, snatch a paper, hurry into a stall, and on coming out throw the paper away. Perhaps it's an election. Why, of course, it's class election. Three times we voted. As Sophomores we elected: President, Newell Griffin, Vice Presi- dent Elizabeth Merrill, Secretary, Caroline Butler, and Treasurer, Pris- cilla Donnell, as Juniors, President, Lewis King, Vice President, Frank Merrill, Secretary, Elizabeth Merrill, and Treasurer, George O'Rourke, as Seniors, President, Ellis French, Vice President, Helen Miller, Secretary, Elizabeth Merrill, and Treasurer, Norton Dempsey. We are now glancing upon a vivid picture outlined in crimson and sil- ver. In the center are several fair maidens dancing with their respective friends. In a corner we see a group of shy looking fellows. Oh! we know now. It is none other than our Soph- THE HOLTEN 17 our first social omore hop. It was event and we put it over with great scare from our success, despite the fellowmen of higher classes, who re- fused to buy tickets till the last min- ute and who would call our Hop a Flop, However, a gay time was had by all, even those shy little fellows, for our class adviser, Mr. Fowler, talk- ed them into a few games to get them better acquainted with social affairs. All joined the grand march which was led by the Class President, New- ell Griffin, followed by our other ofli- cers. Music was furnished by the Rainbow Orchestra. Balloons were distributed for favors and the noise of their bursting, together with the chuckles and gay voices of the group proved that everyone was mer- ry. To our regret eleven bells tolled and we had to hustle home to snuggle into bed before Jack Frost could nip us, for it was a November eve- ning. The next scene is a gathering of a happy and joyous crowd in the as- sembly hall. A large thermometer on the stage registers nearly five hun- dred. What does all this mean? Why it is our party held the night of the band drive in 1927. As the different teams came in with their reports, the mark rose on the thermometer regis- tering' the money made. It was two months after this party that the school had a fair sized band organiz- ed with several members of our class participating. The next picture displayed yards and yards of chiion and tulle draped about the girls of Holten High. One dress of lavender lace took us back to the days when grandmother was a girl. No need to ask What is it? Of course, it's the Junior Prom, and what a dance that was. Everyone who attended put the memory away for future reference. It was the kind of memory which sort of balances memories of terrible report cards and final exams. As usual the girls were decked out in as many colors and styles as would be shown at a fashion show in Gay Paree. How proud their escorts were of them! All too quickly however eleven o'clock rolled around and everyone headed for home think- ing that the world-was a pretty good place after all. Another gay picture: The Band is playing, the cheer leaders, Dorothy Nimblet, Blanche Clark, Mary Con- way, Rita Kirby and Louise Mans- field, are in motion yelling out the Danvers Locomotive. The crowd is very enthusiastic as the Blue and Whites wearing new hoods come trot- ting on the field, led by Captain French. The picture tells us of the Thanksgiving game of '31 the last football game for the Senior boys of Holten High. Each year the team has been represented by several can- didates from our class. Captain French made his letter as a Sopho- more with the honor of starting every game. Lewis King, our broken field runner has been honored by scoring the most points for us. George O'Rourke played m-any a good game for the school. His punting was superior to any of our opponents. Bob Bishop held down the center position as a veteran. Many opposing teams realized this fact. C. King and H. Dwyer played several positions in the line while Grabowski barked the signals. We regret the resina- tion of Coach Crosby in our Sopho- more year. We have much reason to be grateful for the work of Coach Ayres. In Baseball Mel King was elected as Captain and has piloted this year's team with fair success. He has played remarkably well dur- 18 THE I-IOLTEN ing his school career. Henry Wallace has helped the team for two years with his good pitching. Grabowski is no doubt our bunting star. Basketball was started this year in our new gym. Because we were a little late but few games were play- ed. Tad King acted as captain. Mr. Jenkins volunteered to take charge of the track team and the Fleet-of- foot boys are coming back into shape. Last year they ran in the Essex County Interscholastic meet. This year the track team under Mr. Jen- kins won their race in the state meet at Boston by defeating Charlestown, Beverly, and Weymouth. Hockey has not had a fair show during the last few years. Florida weather seems to kill the ice. Many candidates reported out for Hockey. Captain Bishop led the team this year with but three games. These were two ties and one defeat. The next picture represents the Holten Suscription Party. Everyone is lined up in a grand march led by Editor-in-Chief of The Holten, Eliza- beth Merrill. As the marchers pass, they form the word Holten . Santa Claus fCurtis Kingl presents each one with a Holten . The class of 1931 has been a loyal supporter of the school magazine in all its acti- vities. We still wish it luck. This picture represents a dance. Not an ordinary dance by any means but an unusual one. The Senior Dance, of course. Everyone knows how hard it is to sponsor an unusual dance but the class of '31 just glories in hard things, therefore ours was an unusual dance. It wasn't unusual in the sense that it was odd. Just unu- sual in the fact that an unusually large crowd danced unusually Well to an unusually good orchestra. And the dresses of the girls were unusual too. Although they wouldn't admit it, most of the teachers had a better time than the pupils. In some cases, in fact, it was difficult to distinguish teachers. This next picture by George Dan- forth must remind one of Agnes Mul- ry's Chemistry drawings. On second thought it looks like a fire drill but books carried by the students dismiss that idea from mind. What student so queer as to Wish to save books! No, it is moving day. What a day that was! Even the sophomores were con- sidered important that day. The Se- niors led the procession and no group of people could have done better. You see whether it is in leading proces- sions or winning shields or in cheer- ing football heroes no class excels the class of '31. However, one of our members was nearly overcome with excitement. Poor Pickering was un- able even to carry his own books. Miss Crocker obligingly walked be- side him carrying his books and giv- ing him encouraging glances at fre- quent intervals. Right through Dan- vers Square we went. It must have reminded spectators of the American Legion parade in Boston last Octo- ber. Eventually we arrived at the new school and disbanded, each pupil heading for his respective room. It is said that a petition circulated by the boys resulted in the seniors ac- quiring rooms next to the cafeteria. It took some time for us to accustom ourselves to desks on which the names of our ancestors were not carv- ed but eventually we became used to the grandeur of the place and grate- ful to the same ancestors for such a Wonderful school. Now for a big surprise. I say a surprise and I mean it, because April Fool's day has at last come. On April first almost everyone gets fooled fteachers includedl. This year April F0ol's day was different. In times THE HOLTEN 19 past it was called Freak Day but in the future it will be entitled Se- nior Day. Glancing at the picture in front of us we shall try to describe the events painted on this piece of canvas. Massive brick walls of the gym form a background. Coach Ayres as master of ceremonies seems to be having difficulty in making himself heard. How we enjoyed that day. The first game played was some sort of indoor ball in which a volley ball is used. Later we played Going to J erusalem . Finally all danced to the ever entrancing music of Dump GrifTin's jazz band. Two o'clock end- ed a very enjoyable Senior Day. This is what the next picture shows us:-A tall young fellow has just passed beneath a ladder and in his hands he carries a mirror. He is a- bout to step on a banana peel as a black cat crosses his path. He car- ries a smile on his face at all times, for he is the enemy of superstition. Are you superstitious? If so we sug- gest that you forget the nonsense. The class of 1931 is not superstitious, Why! We even picked a Friday the thirteenth for our Senior Play, a play crowned with the name, A Lucky Break . It was presented at the Pea- body Institute and was a great suc- cess. We are very grateful to Miss Dow for her assistance and to our ex- tremely fine cast. One more bit of luck -the money receipts were larger than those of any previous Senior Play. Oh! Look at this picture down here at the farther end of the gallery. It was sketched by our famous cartoon- ist George Danforth. Why, that's Ed- ward Putnam seated before a camera. The photographer seems to be wait- ing for something. He must be wait- ing for Edward to obtainra satisfac- tory pose. What an ordeal that was! And how disappointing were some of the proofs. We all had hoped to be so beautiful. This picture looks like an old Eng- lish print: The sun is beating down upon three busses packed with joy- ful seniors of Holten High. What a happy time this picture recalls. For our class day ride-we went to Pine Island Park in Manchester, New Hampshire on June 3. It was a long but enjoyable ride to Pine Island Park, a beautiful place. All enjoyed the day even though they were tired when they reached home. Miss Dow and Miss Wadleigh together with Mr. Dunn, Mr. Smith and Mr. Coates accompanied us as guests. Only one picture remains and this portrays a sweet girl graduate look- ing at her diploma much as a miser looks at his gold. She is tripping lightly but not literally across the stage, arms outstretched, preparing to make a final dive for the much coveted paper. CBy the way, the fig- ure looks very like Clara MacFarlaneJ Commencement! Eli French iiatly re- fused to come, we remembered, if we did not provide refreshments. He was not accustomed to going too long without food and more often than not during his five months at the new school he was forced to cater to his delicate constitution by sneaking down to the cafeteria between the second and third periods for a bite to eat. But on being assured that it would be perfectly right and proper for him to carry a knapsack he agreed to attend graduation. There we all stood knees knocking until we were sure the audience could hear them, teeth chattering with fear, hands clammy, and a prayer in every heart that we'd get across the stage safely. Then before we knew it everything was all over, and queer as it may 20 THE HOLTEN seem everyone was a little sorry. Thus in a blaze of glory we ended our high school career and no member of our class but will always remember with a thrill our own commencement night, not only for the thing itself but for all it stands.

You can look it up in the town records in Cook County,Illinois.J I, fthe writer's name is a secret,J being of soundtand disposing mind and memory, do hereby make and publish this, my last will and testa- ment, in order, as justly may be, to distribute my interest in the world, among succeeding men. My right to live, being but a life estate, is not at my disposal, but these things being excepted, all else in the world I now proceed to devise and bequeath. I devise, to boys jointly, all the useful idle fields and commons where ball may be played, all pleasant wa- ters where one may swim, all snow clad hills where one may coast, and all streams and ponds where one may fish, or where-when grim win- ter comes-one may skate, to hold the same for the period of their boy- hood. I leave to the children the long, long days to be merry in a thousand ways. But I am not the above named, I am the class of 1931, morituri sa- lutamus, and as such, I have to think of other things. You know that all Gaul was divided in three parts 3 I am divided into eighty-five parts. Mhat can I do with all these parts? I must consult one wiser than myself. Even now my lawyer is approaching to help me.-flistensl-He seems to be in quite a hurry. fEnters Lawyer who speaks.J Come quickly, for we must draw up your will immediately. I hate to break the sad news to you, but your doctor tells me that you have only a few more days to live. You have many people to consider. First: There's your head, Ellis French. Let him leave to Irvin Con- ley his interest in athletics and class leadership. Next: There is one who has helped to shoulder the respon- sibility of the class, Helen Miller. Let her leave to the future vice-president of the class of 1932 the honor of her office. And-there's one who has been your left hand, Betty Merrill. Let her leave to Richard Crosby her secreta- rial, editorial and dramatic talents. Now-your bill-fold, Norton Dem- sey. Let him leave to his successor better luck in collecting class dues. fClass of 19311 I know that my alert senses, the five cheerleaders, wish all success to the football team of 1932 and also to their cheerleaders. fLawyerJ Have you any other achievements to dis- pose of? CClass of 19311 Oh, yes! The lunchroom staff leaves to Mr. Duncan another efficient group of em- ployees, with Gordon Be1l's humor, Clara MacFarlane's smile, Cecil Pe- terson's logical mind, and the speed and wit of all the girls behind the counter. The seniors in the band leave to the school their three years' experi- ence as a band with: Dump Griflin's and Walt Gil- man's interest in harmony. Crosby's THE HOLTEN 21 facility in manipulating his bass horn. And-Batchelder's and Briggsie's technique with the trombone. fLaw- yerb Have you any public bequests to make? fClass of 19311 Why, yes- I am interested in schools, I should like to bequeath some personal gifts to the teachers. To Miss Page-A senior group of more basketball-minded girls. To Miss Wood-A perfect senior French class. To Miss Petrie-Another short- hand student like Lillian Stewart. To Miss Sullivan-A group of girls she could like. To Mr. Coates-Money enough to publish a chemistry book that he likes. To Miss Dow-A noiseless ventila- tor so that she can hear her English students recite without distributing megaphones. To. Mr. Duncan-A mechanical messenger boy to run to the bank each day for him. To Mrs. McGinley-An automatic typewriter cleaner. To Mr. Dunn-Mr. Coates' X-ray tube to inspect lockers. To Miss Crocker-From the trig- triumvirate a larger but as efficient a trig class. To Mr. Ayres-from three ex-man- agers of the football team-H. Mer- cier, C. Molitor, and Mel King-a few Knights of the Bucket. To Miss Howard-More students who can actually fill out a blank test on parts of verbs. To. Mr. Jenkins-a set of new maps to replace the present rags, To Mr. Brown-the verdict of not guilty to the Murder of the Lady of the Lake. To Miss Curtis-a robot to feed her fish during vacations. To Miss Wadleigh--a helicopter for use between D. H. H. S. roof to Union, N. H. so she may attend Fri- day night functions here. CLawyerJ As for the pupils, are you interested in them too? fClass of 19311 Oh, yes-decidedly. From Doug Parsons to the boys, the art of threading a needle quickly. To some superstitious scholar, the number 13, the number of Carl Mol- itor's locker. From Shorty Long to Albert Col- lins his dexterity in playing the harmonica. Henry Wallace leaves to Harvey Dempsey his Doggie, John Tutko leaves to his brother Henry his ability as a chemist. Oliver Putnam to all junior boys a book entitled How to Snare the Girl You Want. Bud Pickering to all junior boys a book entitled What the Well Dress- ed Man Should Wear. Prill Donnell leaves to Cobby, her winning way with the teachers. Eleanor Carleton leaves her artis- tic talent to Catherine Trohon. Caroline Butler leaves her ability to act to next year's senior leading lady. From Phil Bruley to Miss Wad- leigh's next senior English class an- other person who begs to differ. Alex Grabowski, to all who may think they are orators, one half of his ability. From George Danforth to someone in Mr. Coates' classes, another shark in chemistry and physics. From Joe Gaudette to the model high school boy his reputation for coming through with a smile. From Newell Griiiin to the school, one hundred and one different things, but mainly his strong power over women. From Gordon Graves to the school a fellow who can live on Hoodsies. 22 THE HOLTEN From Charlie Peterson and Joe Le- Colst their hardy perennials to the athletic squads for transportation to all games. From Osborne Linnekin to the school another student with his sing- ing talents. Rita Goddard leaves her conscienti- ousness to Jack Cranney From Dot Hart to the junior poe- try editor better luck in getting poe- try for The Holtenf' . B. Clark leaves to Nat Williams a book entitled How to Keep the Man You Want. Margaret Hayes leaves her giggle to Christine Farrar. Leonora Maynard leaves to Ida- jean Stanton her lower locker. From Agnes Mulry to Helen Hines her school-girl complexion. From Dot Nimblett to Virginia Merrill her position as head cheer- leader. Myrtle Noseworthy leaves to Es- ther Currier her ability as a reader. From Vaso Papamechail to Thelma Durgin her technique in art. Barb Parker leaves to Nat Williams her winning ways with the boys. Helen Roberts leaves to Howard White her place as a senior poet. Helen Sirois leaves to Virginia Har- rigan her position as school pianist. Lillian Stewart leaves to Elvira Bel- cher her place as star short-hand stu- dent. Helen Wilkins leaves to Ursula Busineau a book entitled Modern Dieting. From Barb Wright to Marjorie Corcoran felicity in translating Latin. From Esther Sullivan to Miss Wood a junior student as a belligerent sen- ior French scholar. From Kenneth Nolan to any ambi- tious French student the ability to study French in English class. To the Junior class we leave the best of luck in obtaining the shield and hanging on to it. To the sophomore class we wish success in future years selling tic- kets. To all future classes we leave our new building to be held in trust and perpetually cared for. To the Corridor Crow a soft nest in the library and a skeleton key to all lockers in case she should ever get shut up again. Lawyerj Now appoint your execu- tor. fClass of 19313 I appoint Mr. Dunn to look after this, our last will a.nd testament. In testimony, therefore we here- unto set our hands in the presence of five witnesses. We declare this to be our last will. CLASS OF 1931, June 18, 1931 On the 18th day of June the class of 1931 signed the foregoing in our presence, declaring it to be its last will, and as witnesses therefore we five do now, at its request, in the presence of each other, hereto sub- scribe our names.

THE HOLTEN 23 PROPHECY-1931 While looking over her mail in the Bellevue Hospital on the morning of May 20, 1941, Helen Harrigan, R. N., the superintendent of the Hospital, found an invitation to her class re- union to be held June 11, at Putnam Lodge in her native town. Later on in the morning two very excited nurses, Rita Kirby and Dorothy Nimblett, came rushing in with sim- ilar letters. Immediately they planned to answer, as all were glad of an opportunity to meet old class- mates again. As the day of the reunion ap- proached, the nurses planned to take an early train from the Grand Cen- tral Station. The night before they were to leave one of the doctors re- ported an emergency operation to be performed the next morning at 9.00. This, of course, meant that the super- intendent could not leave. She was greatly disappointed but a nurse's duty comes first. Rita and Dorothy however, promised to tell her about all her classmates and the two nurses left in the morning in high spirits. Although Helen was very busy, for a superintendent has many duties, she thought often of the reunion she was missing. The next day however, about 3.30 in the afternoon Dorothy and Rita arrived back at the hospital. Since neither was to be on duty that night, they planned to meet in the recreation rooms after supper. Such an evening. They talked and talked and talked far beyond the time for all lights out. However, one can break rules when the superintendent approves. When they finished, Helen had found out many surprising facts about her classmates. She learned what each was doing, for those who were unable to go had sent letters. Danvers had now grown and boast- ed of a hundred thousand people. Many members of the class had stay- ed in the home town and were mak- ing good. Dudley Briggs is writing a , Be- lieve It or N ot column for the wide- ly circulated Danvers Herald. Joseph Hines is selling cemetery lots all over the country but he shows town loyalty by having Room 13 of the old Town Hall for his ofiice. Barbara Parker was Danvers's prettiest debutante and ,after ,a suc- cessful first season had married a big oil man from Omaha . She is now one of the town's most charming hostesses and often entertains many of her old admirers. As part of the reunion entertain- ment Mabel Robbins had given a 'solo accompanied by Helen Sirois.. Both had recently returned from Europe where they had played before royal- t '. yThe class president, Ellis French, had acted as toastmaster and had been very eloquent in this speeches. He is the coach of the Danvers High Football team and since his election Danvers has won many games. Among them Saugus, ahard team to defeat. Middleton has become part of Dan- vers after a hard struggle. The old Middleton crowd grouped together and unanimously elected George O'- Rourke mayor. Elizabeth Neary and Clara Mac- Farlane have opened a sweet shop for poor high school boys. Kathleen Neil was unable to be at the banquet but she had sent a wire from Hollywood where she is a come- dian second only to Marie Dressler. Of course, she has risen above the servant role. Osborne Linnekin is a fur trapper in the wilds of Canada . 24 THE HOLTEN Henry Wallace and Tad King are raising dogs at the Tapleyville Ken- nels. John Tutko is raising apples on a farm in Boxford. Yearly he sends Miss Crocker a barrel. Mr. Coates, who as you'll remember taught Chemistry, has retired. Oli- ver Putnam has taken his place. Mr. Coates has not given up everything, for he financed the reopening of Tufts Premedical school and got Carl Mol- itor and Charles Peterson positions teaching. Mr. Dunn is as fine as ever. He told all about the activities of the school since we left. Alice MacDonald is a dress design- er for the fashionable women of the Danvers four hundred. Among these four hundred Agnes Mulry is leader of all social events in Danvers High- lands. Buddy Pickering is the owner of a riding school at the old riding club. His ponies are all thoroughbred. Jo- seph Gaudette is his very capable riding worker. He has no kick com- ing'. Helen Miller is his most eflicient riding teacher. Margaret Hayes has founded a Hayes Penmanship Method excelling Palmers. Many of the members of the banquet were wearing her pins. Among them was Edward Putnam. Lois Rand has graduated from Sa- lem Normal and has started a kinder- garten school in her own home. She has an enrollment of fifteen curly headed little girls. Poor Walter Crosby was recover- ing from a Hospital Session. One of his lungs had nearly fallen in while he was playing his Sousaphone. Olive Hamilton was pursued to the reunion by photographers and news- paper reporters. She had entered as a double for the pretty Janet Gaynor. Among the reporters had been Edgar Webster, a reporter for the Danvers Herald. Alexander Grabowsky is famous for bringing once more into existence the so-called silver-tongued ora- tions. Caroline Butler was there accompa- nied by her secretary Eleanor Carle- ton. Caroline is now the tennis cham- pion in America and France. Elea- nor arranges her social activities. It's all in the family. Mary Conway has written a book The Laughing Lady dedicated to Evelyn Maloney. Evelyn has had her laugh patented but there really was no danger, nobody was going to steal it. Helen Roberts, the class poet, is still following her chosen work and is now known as one of the best poets in America. Lillian Stewart, is her secretary and inspires the great work. Lawrence Conant couldn't go be- cause he was pedaling on his bicycle around the world trying to sell Bos- ton Bags to students. Eleanor Watson has just published her book on The Ideal School Girl Complexion. She suggests Palmolive soap for best results. Harold Dwyer has just fallen into the position of messenger boy and is the only successful one at the Sav- ings Bank. Alice Johnson has given an exhibi- tion of her self-invented typewriter that automatically writes 75 words a minute without physical exertion or error. She claims that she couldn't do it any other way. Not a bit surprising was the news that Dorothy Hart is spending her fortune financing a drive for more and better poetry. Leonora Maynard's name has ap- peared in the newspapers as the best HOLTEN 25 tap dancer of the year, but the pity of it is that she has stayed around Danvers dancing only in charitable entertainments when she could be very famous. There must be some attraction in Danvers. Joe LeColst had sold a Chevrolet to nearly everybody in Danvers so has gone to Canada to try his luck there. Melvin King is prominent in base- ball for he has beaten out the Rab- bit in the National League. Cleophas Mazurka, always a good talker, has become a criminal lawyer in Chicago where he recently defend- ed Al Capone. Barbara Wright did her part in the reunion entertainment by rendering vocal selections. Barbara is now one of the best American prima-donnas.

One of the honor guests at the ban- quet was the great senator from Massachusetts, Cecil Peterson, who came to the banquet accompanied by Philip Bruley, Sergeant-At-Arms in Washington. Elizabeth Merrill has recently won the Pulitzer Prize for her recent nov- el, Tradition. Elizabeth quite often honors her school magazine by send- ing articles. Burnley Garron has been swinging the stick for Les Canadiens since his graduation from Springfield. Henry Mercier was so anxious to spend more of his life in high school that he applied for the position of Custodian of School Buildings. The school committee accepted his offer so Henry is planning many more years in school atmosphere. It seemed strange to Helen to find that Newell Griffin is pastor of a large church in the Putnamville District. Vaso Papamechail was unable to go, for she is painting in Paris. Vaso has exhibited many of her pictures in Le Louvre and won the Beaux Arts Prize for a picture entitled The Boy with the Smile. Kenneth Nolan posed for it for a goodly sum. Helen learned that people can be so near and yet so far when she found that many of her classmates are working in New York. Genevieve Boudreau came to New York right after high school and has established a dancing studio teaching old and stately maids the dance of the wood simps. Albert Karantza has opened a bar- ber shop on Fifth Avenue giving multi-millionaires close shavesf' Shorty Long has risen to great heights in the Woolworth building where he is an elevator boy.

We are dismissed as grown-up folk, fThe schedule nicely goes as plannedj We don't dismiss as quick, the thought Of happy High school days we've passed, But cling like sturdy tendrils caught To the place we love from which we're cast. And mem'ry laden with its store, As the flying days move on apace, Will ever welcome more and more The treasured picture of a face. If Fate shall e'er obliterate Our joy in youth and fun, May the joy we've KNOWN oft per- meate From our picture class of thirty-one.

THE HOLTEN 31 SCHOOL OTES SENIOR CLASS NOTES Seniors have been exceedingly busy this past month. We are almost ready for graduation. Already we are practicing the march !And finals are over for better or worse. So far we have had our class group picture taken three times. The first was taken on a Tuesday morning, May 19th, and when finished up it was pretty awful. We like to think that part of the trouble was with the camera. On the morning of Class Day, we again had pictures taken. We were all feeling pretty happy with the anticipation of a wonderful day before us, and so we all looked happier. Here's hoping the pictures are a success. As long as we live we'll never for- get the wonderful Class Day we had at Pine Island Park, Manchester, New Hampshire. After we had practiced our Graduation March at the Insti- tute we started out in three big bus- ses, one of which inspired the poem Busses in our Poetry Department. The weather was perfect, the place was ideal, and every one was a very good sport, especially the teachers who accompanied us, Miss Dow, Miss Wadleigh, Mr. Smith, Mr. Dunn and Mr. Coates. Indeed, there were plenty of amusements which demanded good sports,-I mean the roller-skating rink and the roller-coaster and the whip and the Mysterious House. All who went in swimming enjoyed the cool water and felt very refreshed. We all went in swimming at the same time in order that Mr. Dunn might enjoy his lunch. By the way, lunch was another pleasant event of the day. How much better food tastes under the pine-trees and the sun. Af- ter lunch the Class History, Grinds, and Prophecies were read. They were exceedingly good this year, for they were snappy and right to the point. We all feel sure that no Class Day could ever exceed ours, and we are very grateful to Mr. Dunn for sug- gesting Pine Island Park and for making us all have a good time through his own good nature. The Senior Reception is to be held in the new gym on June 19th. This will be the first chance that the un- derclassmen will have to dance there. The committee has hired Mackey's Orchestra. It will be necessary to have one of those precious bids to obtain entrance at this dance. This will be one perfect party! ii'?X 4' E'?S? 2?f '0' . tv'Q5:- Wu MW 32 THE HOLTEN ellliiiik-ill uxliik' 45 0 CII 1 J -full' - W rlfpgf if: V5 Q 041' I liillull O .

The outdoor track season for Hol- ten High opened April 30 with a dual meet at Winthrop with the strong Winthrop High Team. The latter scored well in the State meet at Har- vard a few weeks ago, so the score of 58 to 19 in their favor was not wholly unlooked for. However, in spite of the score, most of the events showed plenty of competition. William McCarthy won the half- mile rather easily, and got a close sec- ond to Eagan, the Winthrop flash, in the 220-yard dash. Cornelius Creeden earned a second in the high jump at 5 ft. 3 in., and a close third in the broad jump. Sheldon Daigle in the mile came second to Pigeon, another Winthrop star, while Tony Morose pressed Eagan of Winthrop for a close second in the 100. Leo Mercier picked up third place in the 440-yard run. The coach of track this year has been George H. Jenkins, Bowdoin College, '28, sprinter in the 100 and 220-yard dashes while a member of the track team in collegef BASEBALL On May 29th, Danvers went to Ips- wich and defeated Manning High by the score of 7 to 1. Henry Wallace struck out sixteen Ipswich men, gave three passes, and allowed four hits. He also knocked in two Danvers men with a three base hit in the third in- ning.

Caw, Caw! This marks the last in the series of joint broadcasts by Corrider and Carrie Crow. Soon Carrie will be leaving her High School home to flutter out upon the broader fields of endeavor . However, her part of the correspondence will be kept up by the fine work of her brother crow. Corri- der Crow, as mailman, has brought a gorgeous array of publications for this column. These neighborly re- views will interest you, I'm sure. The Advance , Salem, Mass. Attractive covers are the keynote of the issues of The Advance . The covers of the last two issues which represent scenes from the lives of Millet and Shakespeare were interest- ing and instructive. In the literary sections, Things I Shall Remember After Graduation is outstanding. Your advertising managers and your class reporters deserve much com- mendation. The Concordia , St. J ohn's Prepara- tory School, Danvers, Mass. Your Easter issue is a splendid magazine. A very interesting edito- rial is entitled The New High School in Danvers . Your literary section is very enjoyable, I especially commend Melody Pictures and Some Things Are Sweet. The Con- cordia is good reading from cover to cover. The Aegis , Beverly, Mass. Congratulations for a fine paper! Your literary work is fine. I think A Memory and The Romance of THE HOLTEN 37 Mays are unusual contributions. The Vers Libre contributors on the Poetry Page deserve commendation. Your joke section, though small makes a good conclusion. Rocks and Pebbles , Rockport, Mass. Although your paper is very schol- arly, it is very interesting and educa- tional. Among the outstanding fea- tures of the Easter issue are A Chat with Mr. Edgar Allan Poe , and the section on Book Reviews. In answer to your query, we have no clubs to write notes about in D. H. S. 7 Won't you be surprised when you realize the distance this one covered to reach us. The Interlude , South Bend, Indiana. We welcome your very modern pa- per to our column and wish to hear from you again. You have many ori- ginal ideasg especially good is the Alumni column on the class of 1881. Behind the Scenes is a clever ar- ticle. Your magazine contains much of the personal element and is, there- fore, very pleasing to read. Now I know all our Holten contri- butors will be glad to hear the opin- ions that have been expressed con- cerning us. ' From the Aegis. The Holten -your magazine is very compact and complete. The lit- erary section, especially The Light- ed Candle, we found most interest- ing. From the Advance. The Holten -your paper is wor- thy of a much larger school, for its quality is Grade A. The Knocker , Books , and The Corridor Crow are some of the more outstanding features. Keep up your good work! From the Rocks and Pebbles. The Holten f-where are your Club Notes ? Your cover decora- tions are very attractive. tr 403 v -og' aw' vi 4 .9 0 38 THE HOLTEN A TRIBUTE T0 OUR TEACHERS Many people are rewarded for their outstanding deeds, but there is a group of persons who deserve great commendation for their faithful serv- ice who are not. I sing the praise of our teachers. They are in a sense un- known, for, in guiding young people, they live in obscurity and contend with hardship. For them no trumpets blare glory and honor, no glorious decorations are decreed. They labor in campaigns and win wars, they keep the watch along the dark bor- ders and' attack the trenches of our ignorance and folly. Our teachers are patient in their daily duties, and strive to conquer the enemies of youth. A helping hand they stretch forth to guide the indolent, and a steadying hand they extend to the unstable. These friends reveal to us their own joys in learning and share with us the best treasures of their minds. We may gain knowledge from books, but the love of knowledge is transmitted only by personal contact. By these contacts with us they light many can- dles which, in later years, we must make to shine back to cheer them. This will be their reward. As a closing wish, I express the gratefulnes and hearty thanks of the Holten Board to those faithful friends who have made our work so pleasant throughout our time of service: to Miss Wadleigh for her untiring help in every field of endeavor, to Mr. Jen- kins and Mr. Duncan for their accu- rate work on the business accounts. To Miss Denton for her aid in the art department, to Mrs. McGinley for her work in the typewriting department, and to Mr. Dunn for his splendid ad- vice to us. May our lives be tributes to faith- ful friends, our teachers, than whom none are more worthy to be enrolled in a democratic aristocracy, Kings of Themselves and Servants of Man- kind. Barbara Wright. . , Milf! THE HOLTEN 39 PRIZE AWARDS During the past year, there have been given several different prizes concerning which no mention has been previously made in The Hol- ten. First of all, there has been awarded a prize of two dollars and fifty cents for the best article in each essue of The Holten .

The prize for the February is- sue was awarded to Howard White, class of 1932 for his humorous essay on Lockers, Dorothy Hart receiv- ed honorable mention at the same time for her review of the book, Margaret Ogilvy, Mother of James Barrie. In the Spring issue first honors went to William Pickering for his most original story entitled Der- by Day. Howard White received in the same issue honorable mention for the poem 'JA Song. In each case the magazine was sent to an out of town judge. Each year the Danvers Women's Association offers a prize to that girl from the Junior class who writes the best essay on a given subject. This year the subject was the Task of growing Up. The winner of first prize in this contest was Marie Mc- Keigue.
