We are beginning to understand what it has done and meant for us during the four years that we have passed within her walls. The feeling gradually grows upon us that perhaps we are not as anxious to leave her as we were in former years. We realize that many of our best friendships were made and cemented during our daily contact with people of our own age and tastes. But then, we have the other side. The thought that we are now prepared, and are going to take advantage of our preparedness, to step into the future for ourselves, gives us an intense satisfaction and a certain desire to complete school. But whatever our views about leaving Alma Mater, we can only recall all that she has done for us and send up a fervent, hope that she will mean as much to following classes as she has meant to the Class of Ninety Twenty-Two. (Ln (Thr Jfarultij There are two things which the Class of 1922 owes to the Faculty of Holyoke High: A sincere apol- ogy and a heartfelt vote of thanks. The apology is due because of the manner in which practically all of us, at some time, have regarded our teachers. More than once have we spoken against certain teachers when they were only do- ing their best to assist us in our education. We take this opportu- nity, however, to thank the facul- ty for their many kindnesses and for overlooking many of our obvi- ous misdemeanors. We thank them for their interest in our ac- tivities. We have finally come to the realization that they are our friends. (tin' iFanilty Howard Conant A. J. McDonald Lillian W. Fay Mary A. Allen May M. Austin Frank B. Bailey Fred H. Baldwin A.

A S a medium of expression of school aflairs, this Annual takes a prominent place, and the members of the graduating class have in it. a means of connecting the future with the past. So it is fitting to use it to express the feeling of the Faculty and Principal (now unfortunately ill and unable to make his feelings known) for the members of the graduating class of 1922. Having been Class Director, I am in a position to know the good and bad points of the class. At this time everything but the good is forgotten. As I look back over the school year of 1921-22, the survey is one which, as a class, you can take pride. 1 cannot see in the one hundred and sixty who occupied “53” anything that 1 would have greatly changed. As a composite picture you appear very favorably, and while 1 give due credit to you as a class I am going to make this statement: ('redit for rounding out the features of the class, as a photographer would the individual picture, is due your teachers. To the teacher or teachers who have done most for you along this line you will in the future be thankful. But it mat- ters not to you now who helped to accomplish the good as long as the good is there for all to see. Records stand out for themselves for they show conditions not “touched up” to make a good impression. From your record as a class your scholarship is high. More were listed on the honor roll than usual. In school activities, the directors of the different organizations report your having improved your opportunities. This has been said with truth of previous classes, but what I wish princ- pallv to compliment you on is your womanly and manly qualities that at all times responded to what your teachers and your better natures knew to be right. If you could only realize it, that spirit carried into the work before you will be the best asset to assure success. Your education gained here must help, but cling to the record you earned here of doing the right thing at the right time and those who wish success to every graduate of the Holyoke High School will not be disappointed in the members of the Class of 1922. □ □ KENNETH HAMILTON Class President ROSANNA TURCOTTE Vice-President □ □ — SENIORS — Q |Irarl A gam bar Pearl Q, A. A., French, Classical. Pearl always had the misfortune of being the first to he called on in recitation by reason of her name being the first of all the A’s. ' Pearl doesn’t mind a little thing like that, however, for everyone knows that she is absolutely fearless, not only in recitation hut in every other situation as well. Pearl has always liked athletics moderately, hut she's always in a hurry —therefore her time for a slow thing like “gym” has been rather limited. iflartj Ahrrtt Marx Q. A. A. Enter Mary! No. no, you’ve got it all wrong—• Mary doesn’t enter, not at all. It’s like this— Biff! Bang! Bing!’’—and here she is! Her wide, happy, grin is a perpetual joy to everyone. No one can ever, in the wildest stretch qf imagination, see Mary sans the grin. We aren’t going to call it a redeem- ing feature, either, because everyone knows that Mary is sterling all the way through. iHUlirrnt Align “Millv” Q. A. A., French. D n't we wish that Millicent would tell us how she gets the red in her cheeks, the sparkle in her eyes, and the lustre in her heavy hair. It she’d only give away the secret, she’d put artificial beauty manufac- turers out of business. Milly” always seems to be full of life and humor, and she knows how to make others laugh, too. “Milly” likes athletics quite well, as is evidenced by the support she gives the basket- ball team. Iflaubr Halbuuu Maude Q, A. A,, French. Hello!” Of course, it’s Maude. She always sees everybody, and she always speaks. We hear that some of the girls in Holyoke High are “stuck up, but the author of that suggestion wasn’t thinking of Maude when he said it. She is a hard worker in the Q” Club and she was on our Senior prom, committee—one a cause and the other a result of her popularity. More- over, she is one of the prettiest girls in the class. Her black hair and big blue eyes are the kind that belong to heroines. tSrtta ibargrr Rene Q, A. A., French. Matter-of-fact Rene! No other adjective will quite apply. She is a downright, sensible girl who generally looks before she leaps into trouble—and then doesn’t leap. Strange to say. school work never kept Rene awake nights, but that doesn’t mean anything! She has made many friends while here in fi. H. S. and we know that she will continue to make more when she leaves us. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ’ □ 25 □ = SENIORS □ Knar Hariumiku Rose U, A. A. Did you say play the piano? If not. we will. Rose can make you dance, sing, go to sleep—almost anything with her music. She plays the violin, too, you know. Rose’s only failing, and she is not alone in that, is that she and “gym” are not on speaking terms. That is, when Rose can help it. We won’t censure her for this, however. Rose knows how to shake a wick—pardon us. Rose is a very nice little dancer, too. Who could wish for a longer list of accomplish- ments ? fiuth tBatrhrlnr Romeo” y. A. A., French. Ruth is one of the jolliest girls in our class. She is always smiling—nay, more, we might go as far as to say she is always laughing! Ruth is popular—the treasurer of the “Q” Club. And Ruth is very pretty, too. Her lovely complexion and eyes are the envy of every damsel in H. H. S. Her demure ways have caused her to be elected—to everybody's joy— class baby.” fHiiriuu 8aHuh “Baushie” Q. A. A. Marion is the kind of a girl whom we all admire. She is very independent, saying just what she feels, and doing just what she desires. Marion has a keen sense of humor, and has made us all laugh at her witty sallies. She has shown her school spirit by joining the A. A. and the “Q” Club. She has done much in these clubs to help them with their work. We need more like Marion. 8rrtha Urmatt Bert Q. A. A. After computing the number of quiet members in our class, we find that Bert is one of the rare, but pleasing, opposites. Not that she is of the unpleasantly bold type, but a good, friendly girl whom we all en- joy through our acquaintance with her. Perhaps Ber- tha has not always been as strong in her studies as she might have been, but who in H. H. S. is measured in popularity by the amount of studying they do (or don’t) ? arah SrruBtrm Sadie” y. a. A. Sarah’s natural state of mind is rather placid. You never hear her worrying about her homework. And one reason why we all like her is that she’s always willing to help us with ours when we discover at the last minute that we have done the wrong lesson. Sarah’s kind heart will make her a very useful woman. □ ' - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO - □ 26 SENIORS □ Snfir tiluih Rose” Q, A. A., French. Here is Rose! One of 1922’s dearest girls. She has a decided knack for making herself “at home” with the other denizens of 52.” If anyone desires a fine office assistant or perhaps a fine home assistant, we sincerely recommend Rose. She will, we are sure, be as sorry to lose us as we arc to lose her. 3 a fimtlais Ida” Q, A. A., French. Among many other qualities, Ida jxtsscsses two distinctive and likable ones. Namely, brains anti dim- ples. But at that, brains are not a distinctive feature in '22. As we were saying, still another of Ida's quali- ties is that she is always on time, or ahead of it in everything. Her punctuality even holds nrood for get- ting to school and for crossing a ladder in gym. (Osita Snurqur Zita Q, A. A., French. “Zita has coal-black hair and eyes, not a common combination, to say the least. Zita always has a smile and a Hello for everyone in the halls, and per- haps this is why so many people like her. She is i good athlete, and was a member of the girls' basketball squad in her Freshman year. There are many things we could say about Zita, blit alas for space! (IhrrrBa StasBil Theresa” Q. A. A., French. Theresa is one of the bright members of 1922, ever a quiet, faithful worker. She has an excellent record to show for her efforts. She has made many friends who have learned that it is always worth while to cultivate the acquaintance of a quiet-appearing girl. As an ardent “Q” Club member and a staunch sup- porter of the athletic association. Theresa has helped H. H. S. Hilltau Urrimahatt Lil” Q. A. A. Lillian has an infectious little giggle. Otherwise, she is a perfect type of the quiet girl.” We have discovered many quiet girls in '22. but Lil is in a class all by herself. She is not too quiet, but neither is she too noisy. She is the type that we all love. This is shown by the fact that her friends are very numer- ous—now. as we know they always will be. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — □ 27 □ □ ---- SENIORS = Alirr tBrnrkumtj Alice” Q. A. A., French, G. A. C., Classical. For two short years Alice has been part of the heart and soul of ’22. We have all fallen in love with her open, frank ways, and her jolly Rood sportsman- ship. Alice has been interested in athletics since her advent and has proved a valuable asset in our girls’ track meets and also the tennis team. We can’t find space enough to say everything we’d like to about Alice, but we will make up for it by saving that she is one of our best-loved and most popular girls. r (Srarr Sriutm Grade Q, French, G. A. C. Grace chose a good way to do her hit towards building up the fame of her class. She has been a dependable guard on the Senior Girls’ basketball team, and has proven her value in emergencies over and over again. Besides being athletic, she is a most jolly companion, always ready to laugh at a-good joke. In our estimation. Grade makes a capital chum. turlinr Uhtrklni “Hr” A. A., French, Classical. Eveline must accept our congratulations for having one of the nicest speaking voices of all the girls in the class. Together with this, she has a fine mind. For these reasons she was elected to captain one of our debating teams. Association with Eveline is good for everyone. Her studies do not bother her as much as one would be led to believe, for she is never too busy to join in the fun. (£hriatiur Vurgras “Christine Q, A. A., French. Still another of 1922’s “sharks. “Christine has. during her period of internment, captured a place on our coveted honor roll. Combined with her unques- tionable gift of brains, we must credit “Christine” with an extremely likable personality. It is all too seldom that we find such a combination. Alirr USurkliarM Alice” Q. A. A. Alice is thought by most people to be quiet; but whoever heard of a quiet girl with dimples like Alice’s? Not that she is obstreperous; no, indeed, but perhaps the word demure fits her as well as any- thing. Alice studies a good deal and has thereby earned the name of “Shark,” especially in shorthand. We all admire Alice’s ability to concentrate, and more than that, her ability to have a good time when the concentration stunt is over. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ----- 28 □ □ □ = SENIORS = □ Srrtha Uururtt Bert” g. A. A. “Bert” has had much to do with 1922 s success. She was vice-president of our class in her Freshman year and performed her duties faithfully. In athletics, “Bert” has done her share. She played on the Girls’ basketball team and gave a valuable hand at volley ball. She is an excellent swimmer, having been on the girls’ swimming team for four years. Bertha’s athletic record has not interfered with the scholastic side of life, for she has been a bright student, al- ways standing high in her studies. iflar Uuttrrftrlb Mae” Q, A. A. Mae is a very reliable girl, both in friendship and in studies. She has one of the nicest dispositions of anyone in our class, mainly because she is so easy- going. One usually associates a sweet disposition with an easy-going person, so therefore Mae is all set. Nnra (Cain “Cainic” 0. A. A. Nora is a happy, light-hearted, bundle of fun. Did you hear someone shriek ? Rest assured it is only Nora, who has just heard a good joke. If you meas- ured Nora by her height you wouldn’t have much, but measure her by her “pep” and you have one of the largest girls in school. But. strange to say. “gym ’ and Nora won’t agree. Perhaps it’s because she hasn’t any breath left for laughing when she gets through. .ilrmtir (Carlinshg “Jennie” Q, A. A. We didn’t realize that we had so many quiet girls in our class, but here—here is Jennie. When she passes, one is apt to hear the voluntary exclamation: Isn’t she a dear!” We regret deeply that ’22 and Jennie must part. Hurirmtr (Carrrau “Lou Q. A. A. Yes, “Lou is the classy little dresser who just passed. She is “class” in every sense of the word. We envy the wonderful color of her hair, and the way she does it. It is a golden color, with wonderful glints of light in it. “Lou is the one who can always succeed in either having or making a good time under any and all circumstances. Her company is most delightful. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 29 □ SENIORS □ □ llua iChuluU “Una Q. A. A., French. Lna is a rather serious-minded person who knows now to attend strictly to business when necessary, luit how to attend strictly to fun on other occasions. She has completed the commercial course in which she took great interest. If she does as well in the future as -lie has done here, we predict a successful business career for her. iflarinrir (£hasr “Marjie Q. French. Classical. “Marjie well represents the class of 1922. She i one of the editors who made this Year Book possible, as well as successful. She has attended to all sides of school life: social, athletic, and scholastic. She has done more than her share toward boosting the record of the latter, for she attained very high marks and. of course, became one of our honor pupils. Who could wish for more? Hrrtlm (Chrrtiru “Bertha Q. A. A., French. Bertha has been with us for two years, yet in that short time she has become so well-known and so at- tached to our class that one would think she had en- tered with us as a Freshman. She is a wonderful French student. We all send our very best wishes with Bertha, and hope that she will connect with for- tune in the future. lautiflr (Clarrttbarh “Louise Q. A. A. Louise is another of our quiet girls. She doesn’t like to study very well, and we suspect that she is just a little in awe of her teachers, but in spite of that, she’s a happy soul. Louise is pretty, and she knows how to make her clothes so that they look as though they had just developed from a fashion plate. How many girls have looked at them with envious eyes! The girl is as charming as her clothes. .JlBahrllr (Hlaijtmt “Belle ' Q. A. A., French. How did Isabelle ever get the marks that she did with such a small amount of apparent study? Belle” has always been to the fore in student activities. Al- though she, perhaps, bears the air of being a rather a sedate girl—accounts differ. We are prone to accept the supposition that Belle may possibly have two sides. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO == □ 30 □ — SENIORS = □ fclrannr Danis “Eleanor Q. A. A. Eleanor says: “I come from Florida, hut there’s no place like Holyoke High.” We’re proud to hear Eleanor say this, and we are also very proud to have her in our midst. She makes herself agreeable under all circumstances, and this ability makes her a friend worth having. Best wishes, Eleanor; may you always like H. H. S. as much as we like you. tstlirr Dam� ”Esther” y, A. A., French, G. A. A. We are all agreed that Esther makes the best of company. The reasons for this are varied and many. It is wafted to us on the breezes that Esther is occa- sionally willing to relieve the tedium in life for cer- tain fortunate individuals of her acquaintance. Some people are always lucky. fclijabrth OilUni “Bess Q, A. A.. French. “Bess likes to see people happy, so she does her best to make them laugh. She doesn’t have to try very hard, either. We admire her agility, especially in composing suitable verses to write in autograph books. Bess likes to go to school because it’s so much fun, but we fear she doesn't like to study. We hardly think that Bess will ever go on the stage as a comedi- enne, but we’re sure that if she did, she would be on “Broadway” before long. fcilrru Dnmuihur “Eileen” Q. A. A., French, Classical. Please don’t think that Eileen has nothing to do but study. Nothing of the kind! Whoever knew Eileen to keep out of the fun because she had to study? We guess not. Eileen is quite famous, not only because she was elected brightest girl in this class, but also because of her “uke.” In her Fresh- man year Eileen was a member of the Mandolin Club, and has often amused us with that instrument. She is also one of the editors who helped to make this volume. Applaud Eileen! Sa?rl Omilr “Hazie Q, A. A., French. “Hazie” by nickname but most assuredly not by mentality. Her appearance and charming demeanor have gained her a most enviable reputation. She has been one of the most wide-awake and active mem- bers in our class. Here’s to Hazel, who will always be remembered by ’22. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — □ 31 □ □ SENIORS iflarir Sriaroll Marie” Q. A. A., French, Dramatic, Classical. Hail, Marie 1 One of our class beauties and most- to-be-admired” young lady. She is one of 1922's most popular members—loved by all who know her and held in admiration by those who have not yet made her acquaintance. V e cannot say enough al out Marie, for she has been in everything, and has held for two years the position of vice-president of the French Club. Her dramatic talent entitled her to a part in our class plays, and also in the school dra- matics of 1921. We know and realize how very capable she is and, therefore, have conferred upon her one of our greatest honors, that of class his- torian. « iiphia Otthirl Sophie” , . „ , Q. A. A. Sophie has many, many assets in life. Her smile is perfectly ravishing—it illuminates the entire school, and she js by no means stingy in her distribution of it. Sophie” is also extremely goixl looking. Few girls in the class are more attractively dressed than she, and one always has a temptation to turn and give “Sophie a second glance. Cilliatt JFarr Ul” Q, French, Classical. We compliment Lil for her charming voice Often in auditorium she has given us the pleasure of hearing her sing. Wfc hope that when Lil ’ leaves us she will continue the cultivation of her vocal organs. She also has a high scholastic standing, as the results of her faithful study testify. We expect to hear of Lillian s success in later life, and are sure we won’t be disappointed. Cilltan JFitjitrralii “Ul” Q, A. A., Classical. This is “Lil. the conscientious young lady with the heavy coils of light brown hair. After all have failed to answer the puzzling question, the teacher turns con- fidently to Lil. and out comes the answer! Right on the end of her tongue. Many of us wonder where we would be if we had as heavy a schedule as she has; vet it does seem to be the very least of her worries! Needless to say. her “sharkiness” is held in awe and admiration by all. Amy Jfustrr “Amy” Q, A. A., French. A girl of Amy’s stamp does much to make a live class more alive. She is always on hand to help a fel- low classmate out of a scrape. Amy will never be forgotten by her host of friends. z NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 32 □ □ □ □ SENIORS Anna Jfrrrman Anna” Q. A. A., French. No use trying, you cannot catch up with Anna. In fact, you can't keep up with her; and even if you have a handicap, she’s likely to overtake you. We think it’s fortunate for Anna that they haven't in- vented human speedometers, as we are sure that she would he arrested for exceeding the limit. However, she may get by, for she is as noiseless as any car yet invented. We envy her the gift of getting there —“without thumping”! IflUJirrii JfriiBt “Frostie” Q, A. A., French. Holyoke High boasts of many musicians, and “Frostie’’ can well he counted among the first. We always delighted in hearing her play for us in audi- torium, something which she did often. Mildred has played in the school orchestra for two years. She is a girl with a charming personality, and an easy manner of talking, that have endeared her to all. Yes, talking comes exceedingly easy to “Frostie. for 1922 has decided that she is the most talkative girl of us all. ator (Samzitr “Sadie” Q. A. A. Who’s that little tot? How many times has this question been asked, as Sadie passed in the hall? We think she is really, without doubt, the smallest girl in our class. If anyone disputes this will he or she kindly step forward and be measured? Although a great many of us were not fortunate enough to know Sadie intimately, yet those who do will vouch for the fact that she is sweet and of a steady disposition We’re absolutely sure that everyone likes to be able to number a girl like Sadie among her friends. IHtlbrrb flitUrttr “Juliet” Q, A. A., French. Juliet and her Romeo are absolutely inseparable; but don’t let this worry you. for just at present Mil- dred’s Romeo is no other than Ruth Batchelor! However, Mildred has a string of friends which, if placed in single file, would stretch from here to Cal- ifornia. We would like to know Mildred’s secret of acquiring them. Probably her happy countenance and the cute little dimple in her right cheek have some- thing to do with it. “Twenty-two” wishes Mildred the Inst of luck iilaurhr (Snlfi “Blanche’’ Q, A. A., French. Spanish, G. A. C. Blanche is a very popular girl, especially in “53. She always has a smile for everyone, and she’s willing to do anything for anybody. Blanche has been par- ticularly bright in school and her report cards seem to have a general run of A’s. We all like Blanche, and wish that everyone had a few of her best- liked characteristics. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 33 □ □ □ — SENIORS — — □ ahir (Curium Sid Q, A. A., French. Sadie is a merry, happy-go-lucky girl, the kind that’s always a sure cure for the blues. Her charm- ing manners and sunny disposition have endeared her to all. She is forever smiling, and after speaking with her one always feels much more optimistic than before. We envy “Sid's” mass of curly hair. We'd all cut our hair short if it was nice and curly like Sadie’s is. fcurliju ( naa “Gossy Q. A. A. Here is one of our little “baby girls.” “Ev” is so tiny you could almost put her in your pocket. She can act the baby to perfection, also, for—well, have you ever heard her talk baby-talk? Just listen to her —any time. “Gossy is a cute little dancer, too, and can dance ’way up on her tipsy toes. “Ev” is very pop- ular with the people of 1922 for her cute little ways and friendly spirit. She has been a member of tile Herald board for two years, and has helped consid- erably towards making that paper interesting. iflariatt Hamrl “Marion Q. A. A., G. A. C. Marian is the girl who is at once the proud and envied owner of the curly and golden colored hair. It is cut short, and waves and curls too beautifully for words. Marian is a well-liked member of our class. She has a bubbling little laugh that overflows at the least provocation, and we love to hear it, for we know then that she is happy. And. of course, we want everyone to be happy, especially those fortunate enough to be a member of this class. (Dura Hrriuu “Clara Q. A. A., French, G. A. C. Clara will ever be remembered for the pleasure we received from listening to her in auditorium. Always and without fail, she was there with a willing hand. Clara has also been most athletically inclined—is a wonderful swimmer, proof enough being shown by the fact that she has captained the girls’ swimming team for four years. Amrlia firlzlrr Amelia Q, A. A., French, Classical. Amelia is what we call “a peach of a girl”; she is bright and wide-awake, and is a great fun-lover. Contrary to the general rule of these fun lovers, Amelia is also able to do full justice to her lessons, as has been shown in the fine marks that she has received. She is the type of girl who will always make friends, for everyone wants to know a girl like Amelia. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 34 □ SENIORS illia Ida Q. A. A. We don’t know just how to begin here, for Ida is a girl whom all of us have not known intimately; still we all have a general idea of her, and that’s just what makes it hard—generalities. We must find something definite—at last we have it! Ida’s hair! It is a beautiful golden-brown color, and is so thick and abundant that we all wish we had hair just like it. Ida is also bright and clever, and we all think that she must like to study, for—there are results. Anna fflur Krutirfrif “Anna” Q, A. A. Anna Mae is the girl who is always smiling. We have never come upon Anna either in classroom or walking in the halls, when she wasn’t wearing that dear, sweet smile. It’s funny, but such people as she always make others good-humored, and we happily join with Anna when she says, ‘‘Smile, and the world smiles with you.” That is the best creed in the world, and Anna is a shining example for all to follow. USrBHir Hamhrrt “Bessie” Q, A. A., French. We are proud to present Bessie, our class musi- cian. She is a very talented player of the piano, and has delighted us often with her playing. Bessie’s many friends say that she is even more charming than her music. tua CrJIurr “Era” Q, A. A., Spanish. Eva is a talented member of our class. She can draw girls so true to life, that upon our word, you expect them to jump out of the paper and talk to you! And as for the piano! Don't let it surprise you if, in ten years' time you hear of Mme. LePoer, the world renowned pianist. Eva is small, hut she is big enough to contain unusual artistic ability. .Srrnr Cainrrurr “Irene” Q. Irene has endeared herself to us because of her quiet ways. She seems to be the sort of girl whom one can trust with confidences without being betrayed. She is quite demure, finding it pleasanter to listen than to talk. In spite of her quiet and unassuming manner, we are sure that her personality will leave an impres- sion upon all who knew her in school. □ □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ■ — □ 35 □ □ SENIORS «FrattrrH Crani Fran Q, A. A. Fran’s friends say that she is quiet, but not too quiet, a state of being that we all admire and envy. Everyone likes a girl who knows how to make life interesting as well as useful. Another thing we ad- mire in hfcr is the faculty she possesses for keeping each shining strand of hair exactly where it belongs. If we could all do this, what a neat looking crowd we’d he! Hut, joking aside, we all like Frances— and we hope that Frances likes us. Amy ftrr Amy” Q, A. A. Amy, the girl with the smile that can’t be erased— one of those everlastingly optimistic people who find more joy in laughing than in anything else. That’s the way to take life—laugh at it! Amy’s capacity for merriment in no way interferes with her school work. —for, listen, one of Amy’s friends confided to the edi- tor that Amy is really a wonder! No question about it, either. Amy’s record in bookkeeping is enough to —well, find a metaphor yourself! Alma tinriuirt A I” Q, A. A.. French, G. A. C. Alma has made a host of friends while in H. H. S. She loves to laugh. (Is that the secret?) And she laughs often and well. She forever has a good joke on the end of her tongue, and is only too willing to impart it. “Al” has the distinction of having won, in her senior year, the Red Cross life-saving contest. She is an expert swimmer and all-round athlete, as she has shown by her splendid work on all the girls’ athletic teams. Hrlrtt £urr Helm” ’ Q, A. A. Helen is a popular member of '22. and no wonder. She always has an “earful (which is sure to he in- teresting), and a funny little giggle that sends you off into a gale of laughter. She is one of the many ath- letically inclined girls of the Senior class, and she has given valuable help in all our track meets. She is an ardent devotee of basketball, that is, the boys’ games. Ve believe that she would follow that team to Cali- fornia—and back again. fclrattur Uynna Eleanor Q, A. A., French. Eleanor is one of the components of 1922 who seem quiet enough. She is always ready to help any- one, whether it is a request to go to the movies or otherwise. It is because of her great good nature that Eleanor has attained so many friends. She has made an unusual record in her studies, and we do not hesitate to prophesy something great in life for Eleanor. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ’ □ 36 --------------- SENIORS — □ fttuni fflurliu “Birdie” Q, A.

She’s another one of our tiny girls; so happy every minute of the day that she fairly radiates joy all over the institution. Yes. almost anyone in Room 53 could see over Mary’s head, hut accept it from us, she’s as lovable as she is small, and that’s saying much. tliith fHaelru “Edith Q, A. A., G. A. C. Oh, how she can dance! Them’s the words, all right, for Edith is considered one of the finest little fancy dancers that ever danced for Holyoke High. We admire her for the fact that she can do some- thing that few of us can do—toe-dancing. Edith is also an exceptionally good athlete, and has proved a very valuable member of the girls' track team. She is immensely popular with everyone, because she treats everybody practically alike, with the same cheerful friendliness that endears her to all who meet her. tEftith fBrCEalir “Edie” Q, A. A., French, Classical. Edith is one of our dearest girls. Her charming manner and lovable disposition have endeared her to all. She has many devoted friends who think there is no one quite like Edith. We think so, too. She is a fine swimmer, having been on the girls’ swimming team for four years. Edith carried off many honors in this capacity. When you go to Mount Holyoke. Edith, don’t forget us! tlma fflrDmtalfi “Ed” Q, A. A., French. Edna may be small, but she’s a great girl. It’s funny, but for some reason, we love small people, especially when they’re as lovable as Edna. And ro- mantic! We suppose everybody is a little bit roman- tic. but Edna is just full of it. She is pretty, with beautiful dark hair and eyes. We are sure we are correct when we say that '22 is happier for having Edna on its roll. Etta fflrklrr Q. A. A. “Eva Eva, the girl with the curly hair, is one who enjoys a good time. She is jolly and good-natured. Her dis- covery is that it is not necessary to be a member of three or four organizations in order to make friends. Her friends claim that her acquaintance is a pleasure, and there are many to vouch for that statement. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 37 □ = SENIORS — □ 3Flurrurr fHrrrill “Floss Q. A. A. When we first met Florence, she was a little thing, with her hair all shimmering down her back. But now, like all the rest of us, she is quite grown up, and the way she dresses her hair is the envy of every girl in school. A beautiful, natural wave helps to set it off to the very best advantage. Enough of her hair; let’s talk about the girl. Of course, we have nothing but good to say of her, for we all know her as a thoroughly good sport as well as a “jolly good fellow.” “Floss” is an ardent devotee of the art of Terpsichore—on with the dance ! (£uthrrinr fflillaur “Kay Q, French, Classical. What would life be without “Kay”? We cannot imagine. She is a girl who always puts duty before pleasure, being very ambitious and conscientious in her school work. The results she attains are so worth while that we do not question her sincerity. When home work is finished, and when vacations are at hand, “Kay” is ever ready to add to the interest. Cei ura IX i in mu “Laura Q, A. A. Laura is permanently happy and laughing. She doesn’t believe that it’s necessary to have anything to laugh at, either, for that’s where the fun comes in, laughing at nothing. See? Laura’s just as full of “pep” and go as a dynamo, but she seems to have an aversion to “gym.” Well, Laura is there, just the same, for we’ll bet our bottom nickel that Laura never missed a dance yet, nor does she intend to miss any. Good luck, Laura! Iflaryarrt (0’(£iimtrll “Peg Q, A. A., French, Spanish. Here is “Peg,” an adept at the art of giving peo- ple the giggles. She invariably has a witty sally at the end of her tongue, and knows just how to say it to produce the proper effect. She never fails. Yes, “Peg is popular, good-natured, and very witty. And. oh, we almost forgot to tell you what a wonderful dancer she is. That’s her pet hobby, dancing. Que voulez vous encore? SUiufia ilrriaa “Rhoda Q, A. A. Quiet? Well, maybe. Also, maybe not! Ever hear Rhoda giggle? It’s the most contagious thing you ever heard. Rhoda’s big, grey-blue eyes, and unusual light hair, make her stand out in any group. And if she isn’t giggling, she’s smiling. It’s nice to find somebody who can smile when everything goes dead wrong.” Rhoda knows how to attend to busi- ness, however, and a rosy future is predicted for her. □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ■■ □ 38 □ ' ' = SENIORS iHrai'i ”Roz Q.

One thing we admire her for, is, that she always walks so splendidly erect. Roz” is also a wonderful dancer, and is particularly popular at our school dances. It is by no means unusual for her to have all her numbers taken be- fore she has been on the floor five minutes. We’ll wager that she doesn’t miss many dances, either. Farewell, “Roz,” we’ll never forget you. EtljrlbrrJnt firtpuilita Ethel” Q, A. A., French. “Ethel is one of those tiny, little girls who stand up so very straight in order to make herself as tall as possible. The effect of height is somewhat diminished, however, by her bobbed hair—the blackest, thickest, shiniest hair you ever saw. “Ethel” has a friendly man- ner which makes her one of the best-loved members of ’22. She is always competent to produce the results, and no mistake. fHartatt ilri| “Marion” Q, A. A., French. Here we have dear, old Marian. What else can we say when we declare that everyone loves her for her sweet little ways and accomplishments. For, of course, you know that Marian is one of ’22’s most popular dancers. To see her dance the sailor’s horn- pipe in her charming way is enough to delight the soul. Her popularity is established by the fact that she was elected secretary of the “Q” Club in her Senior year, as well as “classiest girl.” We predict and hope for Marian, a great future. Sntsr Snss “Rose” Q, A. A., French, G. A. C. Here is another Rose with dark hair and sparkling blue eyes! Everyone loves Rose because of her frank manner and friendly spirit. She has such an attrac- tive air! Then, too. Rose is a mermaid, having been on the girls’ swimming team for three years. She is also a loyal rooter for all class activities. Good luck. Rose! Jlsabrllr SUnttt “Belle” Q, A. A., French. G. A. C. Did you hear that whistle? It's “Belle. She's quite proud of her accomplishment, and so are her friends. She can whistle through her fingers just like a boy. Well, we get our habits according to our environment. Belle” is the “most mischievous girl of '22. and it is no misnomer, either. You can fairly see the devilment in her eyes! “Belle” got rid of some of her surplus steam by playing center for four years on the girls’ basketball team, as well as being the per- spiring treasurer (collector of dues) of the newly formed Girls’ A.

For a long time Bessie was the baby of our class, in age and height until, all of a sudden, to her great delight, she grew up. She was the happiest girl in Holyoke when she could say she was no longer the smallest girl in her class. Bessie’s greatest joy in life, however, is ’French as taught by Mr. Mitchell. She has gone hack, day after day, week after week, to drink in knowledge. I f you doubt our word, ask Mr. Mitchell. Dnrulhn rhrilirl “Dot” Q. A. A., French. Every time we meet “Dot” in the halls she says “Hello!” and—then comes the funniest little giggle you have ever heard. The surprising thing about it is that it makes you want to giggle in return! We’re willing to wager that you’ll giggle, no matter how tired,or “peeved” you may be. So much for giggles! “Dot is “peppy,” efficient, and sensible. A great num- ber in “53 can claim her for a friend. Best wishes to Dorothy from the class of 1922. DnriH Chatti “Doris” Q, A. A., 0. A. C. Loud applause! Of course it’s Doris. What else but such applause would be granted to one whose popularity and jolly good sportsmanship has been one of the best influences in the High School life of her class? The girls have shown their regard for her by electing her vice-president in her Junior vear, and president in her Senior year of the “Q Club. She has been the star guard of the girls’ basketball team for four years and a member of our champion track team. More applause! iflaryarrt £hru Peg” Q. A. A., French, G. A. C. Did you ever hear Peg talk baby talk? If you haven’t you’ve missed a joy out of your life. They say it’s one of her principal pastimes at lectures— talking baby talk—and she can always find a willing ear. She is particularly adept at the art of mimicing. She has, also, amused and entertained us by singing with her exceptionally fine voice. “Peg” has been proud to hold for the past four years the exalted rank of “Manager of the Senior Girls’ Basketball Team.” We congratulate her! fflari| £ltra “Pinkie Q.

Yes, in fact, “Pink has a “gift of gab” that would stagger a salesman— and that’s no exaggeration, either, for it is said (and we’ll vouch for it), that she could talk her hearers deaf, dumb, and blind. Nev' mind, “Pinkie” is one good old scout, and we all admire her and love to hear her talk. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — Q 40 □ = SENIORS — □ ijrlru Alitur “Helen Q. A. A. Take a good look at Helen and you will find that we are not mistaken when we say that she’s one of the prettiest girls in the class. Her eyes are a miracle of art—nature's own art. with long dark eyelashes of unbelievable length. Helen is a veritable creation of dainty mischievousness. She was elected, in her Senior year, secretary of the A. A., for she is a very popular member of the exalted ranks of ’22. fclsir $mith Elsie” Q. A. A., French. There seems to be a prevalent impression around school that Elsie is a nice, quiet little girl! We feel it our duty to spoil a little of this general impression. She certainly is not quiet. Have you ever looked into her eyes? Well, do, sometime, especially if you don’t feel cheerful, because they’re just bubbling over with laughter. Yes, we all like Elsie, and we sincerely hope and believe that she likes us all. fflarir £imrB “Sirnesy Q, A. A.. French, G. A. C. Marie is one of those people who are usually happy-go-lucky, but she has occasional interesting moods that are undoubtedly a result of her artistic temperament, for, of course, you know that Marie is our class artist. “Sirnesy” evidently believes that va- riety is the spice of life, for she has won great prom- inence in the athletic field. This fs no empty state- ment, either, for Marie is also class athlete and pres- ident of the Girls’ Athletic Club. Besides all this, credit is due Marie for her efforts as an editor of this lxx k. Irttttir talkrr Jennie” Q. A. A. Jennie has enough hair for two! It’s a fact, and maybe some people aren’t envious! She is very mod- est about it, however; we're sure that she’d gladly share it with anyone if that were possible—and that shows one of Jennie’s characteristics—unselfishness. She is rather quiet, but—you’d be surprised! You know, still waters run deep—and we have proved this proverb in her. Good luck to you. Jennie! Alirr £ttllittatt “Alice” Q, A. A., French. Alice is one of our quiet members, but w'hat would we do without such girls as she? They are the real backbone of the class, these people who say little and do much. She believes that “Speech is silver, but silence is golden.” Her friendliness has won for her a place in the hearts of all. She is conscientious in her studies, and we confidently expect that she will be a credit to herself and her school. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 41 □ □ = SENIORS Q Slratrirr {Tnftfi Bee” Q. A. A., G. A. C. Hail-fellow-well-met! That’s “Bee” all over. Re- sides being the best-natured girl in ’22, she has held for four years the position of secretary of our re- nowned class. She is considered one of the best all- around girls, too. “Bee has also played a star game at forward on the girls’ basketball team. Speaking of records, don't you think we can boast that our Bee has one of the best? JHary vTnrmry Mary” U. A. A., French. Mary has generally been recognized as the girl having one of the most pleasing personalities of all the girls in the class. She has endeared herself to everyone in 1922. Her accomplishments are too numerous to mention here. We can take time to speak of a few' things, however. Mary is a talented pianist, and has often entertained us on the piano, much to our delight. Added to our shark list goes Mary’s name. So long, Mary! Best wishes for a happy future. Hosanna Snrrottr “Rose” Q. A. A., French. Rosanna is the demure little Betty of our last class play. Everyone fell in love with her admirable inter- pretation of her part, for she certainly is clever. She is also the popular vice-president of our class, and we have shown our esteem for her by electing her our most popular girl, and best all-around girl. Needless to say, everyone loves Rosanna. She has worked very hard for our class, and in appreciation of her efforts. 1922 has voted Rosanna the girl w'ho has done the most for her class. Skyrocket for Rose! (£rrrlta ttlalknflf Celia” Q. A. A. A dainty, quick, little sten just around the corner. Sure, it’s Celia. That’s how wre can always tell who is approaching. Celia” is exactly like her step; dainty, quick, and decisive. She has completed her high school course in three years. That demonstrates what a determination and hard work will do. Hnsr Iflirnrr Rose” Q. A. A. Rose is one of those fun-loving girls. Through- out her four years, Rose’s intimate friends have grown to like her better, while her new acquaint- ances have found her always full of life. She has done a great deal of conscientious work, and her many friends will be glad to have her succeed in the business world. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 42 □ □ — SENIORS □ Huaitta fflhitimi “Ena” Q, A.

Rosina has walked off with an election as one of our two class beauties, and no wonder. If we were as pretty as Rosina we wouldn’t ask for more. She is immensely jxipular because of the admirable qualities we have named above. We certainly arc “Bien heur- eux” that Kna is a member of our happy crowd —’22. Durnthu IflilliantB “Dot” Q, A. A., French. “Dot has always been a quiet, faithful worker, and is in the good graces of every teacher. She has gone through her four years happily enough, which is just as it should be. Her studies have tended toward bus- iness. and she can be most businesslike when she wishes, although those who know her better than we can vouch for the fact that “Dot is an ardent advo- cate of the “play hour.” flinla UUrnliB “Vi” Q. A. A. Golly, what eyes! Didn’t you ever notice? We’ll bet the boys have. When “Vi looks at you, sort of languidly, out of the corner of her eyes, well there’s a sensation. Her eyes are of blue, and they aren’t the kind that open wide up—they’re sort of almond- shaped—you know what we mean. Aside from her eyes, “Vi is quite harmless. In fact she's one wonder- ful girl, always ready for a good time, and all that goes with it. Here's to Vi!” IlBabrllr fmmg “Belle” Q. A. A., French. Isabelle is one of the prettiest girls in 53,” and that’s saying much! The dimple in her chin is the envy of all the girls and the despair of all the boys in Holyoke High. She is almost placid in disposition, since neither praise nor reprimand seems to make any impression on her—and she gets plenty of each! But we would say that it’s better to get both, than neither. □ = SENIORS — □ abnutas Aahr ''Tommy” Phi Alpha, A. A.. Math. “Tommy” is one of our most popular boys—especial- ly among those of the opposite sex. “Tommy” returns the compliment, we assure you. He is, we might say. dramatically inclined, having taken part in several of our plays. He made himself famous in the operetta. Thomas likes to “bluff” a good deal better than he likes to study, but he gets there; so what’s the odds? 3lumrii Aatlru Jim” Phi Alpha. A. A. “Jimmy” is the honored president of our A. A. He was elected not only because of his great popularity, but also because of his splendid athletic record. He conducted himself admirably as the captain of the football team in his Senior year. “Jimmy” hasapleas- ing personality that has won for him a host of friends. He is also an ardent admirer of the light fantastic, and has often demonstrated his ability in that line. No wonder that he was elected the best all-round boy in this class. Uniirrirk Hail Dick” Phi Alpha, A. A., French, Math. Seventh wonder of the world—Rod-er-ick—Hail! Yes, that’s he. We feel most honored to have him in our midst, for he is the star mathematician of our class. We feel confident that he will keep the ball a-rolling that was first pushed off by old Euclid. “Dick was president and treasurer of the Assembly in his Sophomore year. In his Senior year he was President of the Mathematics Club. ifliltuu Urant Milt” Phi Alpha. A. A., French, Math. Enter our salesman. Milton made himself famous during his last year in school by offering for sale, at reduced rates, all sorts of trinkets from Dennison reinforcements to vest pocket Gem Safety Raxors! He was also prominent in the Math, classes, where his voice could occasionally be heard saying, “Oh, yes, I get it now.” Milton is also a staunch supporter of all activities and has materially assisted on the de- bating team. ElUuarli Uraurhamp Eddie Phi Alpha, A. A.. French. Although he tries to maintain the intense dignity of his station as the popular president of the French Club, “Eddie's attempt is rather overshadowed by his recent election as class flirt. Imagine it! Actually, though, we don’t know of a single man in the class who is better liked, and not only by the fairer sex! “Eddie is the possessor of an admirable characteris- tic—he seems to like everybody as if he were his own friend.

John was elected our classiest boy.” He merited this office, for he is one of our most carefully dressed members. When speaking of his accomplishments, we must add that of dancing. This may he one of the reasons for his i opularity with the gentler sex, but it is by no means the real reason. When we remember the way in which John has sup- ported all games and dances and served on many com- mittees. we have much for which to thank him. ICnutH Urrmatt “Louis” Phi Alpha. A. A. Toiling, rejoicing, sor—no, Louis is never sorrow- ing. When we stop to think of it we can never re- member him with a frown or a scowd on his face for more than a few minutes’ duration. Louis is one of that thrice blessed species of mankind that is always ready and willing to loan you his homework. What more can we say of any man ? tJUtiitt iJrmikfi Ed” Phi Alpha. A. A., French. Yes, “Ed” is our most talkative hoy. But listen, you must understand this,—when Ed talks he says some- thing, and that’s a lot. He was also voted “Class Hustler,” which explains “Ed” to you in a nutshell. He has taken a prominent part in all of our school enter- tainments, and in the Senior class play, was a clean knockout in his portrayal of the fussy old deacon. To show’ our esteem, we have conferred upon “Ed the office of Class Orator, and the business manager- ship of both the Herald and the Annual. IHillium Hunts “H illic Phi Alpha. A.

His free and easy acting, as well as his splendid voice secured hearty applause. Without doubt. Bill” is one of the most popular and best-liked boys of the class. Crlanlt (Dark “Clarkic” Phi Alpha, A. A. Yes, as you can see by his picture, “Clarkie” is one of the many Adonises of this class. He is very cpiiet (to outward appearances, only). But he really does seem silent to us at times. We find it true all over again, that “Silence is golden”—at least “Clarkie’s” silence is.

Thus does he prove that he is no exception to the Rcneral run of humanity. Henry’s school career has been marked by numerous ups and downs, but it has always been noticed that Henry comes top side up, and smil- ing. Many is the time Moon walked out of U. S. History before the bell had rung. For some unex- plainable reason, however, the students still speak to him in the halls. iT hunt as (Entinmu “ Tom” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. Where have we ever seen a boy that could play a viola as “Tom can? Remember him in the days of the class plays sawing away at his overgrown fiddle? Tom is quite a talented musician.

Alfrrii (£tuik Cookie Phi Alpha. A. A. Here is a wonderful opportunity to quote the old and moss-covered adage, Good things come in--------.” No, we can’t go through with it. Alfred, although one of the smallest members of our illustrious class, is by no means limited in his intellectual powers. Bon voyage. Cookie. Snhu Danin John Phi Alpha. A. A., French, Math. Here’s John, another of our great musicians. He surely knows how to tickle the ivories, as everyone must have noticed in auditorium when we were fortu- nate enough to have him perform for us. One thing in his favor is that he is always willing, and that goes more than a long way towards making him one of our best-liked boys. Another is his pleasing smile which is always in evidence. JFrrnanb Ourharmr “Duke Phi Alpha. A. A., French. Hurray for “Duke”—our class boy athlete! Have you ever seen Duke run, or do a high jump, or play football—or basketball ? Of course, you have, and of course you’ve enjoyed it. Everybody likes to see things done well. And when it comes to acting the part of old Bill Salt, we’re perfectly willing to guar- antee that no one in Holyoke High could have done it as well as he.

Jfrrfi £llrrt Frits Phi Alpha. A. A., Math., Classical. “Fritz” is another one of 1922's small members. But as the saying goes—Good things come in small pack- ages. That’s especially true of Fritz.

(Otln JfrlBrtttrriirr Dutch” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. The class, realizing their weighty responsibility, wisely chose Otto as their third soothsayer. This speaks well for Otto's intellectual abilities. There are few people in “53” who are more popular, both with teachers and classmates, than is Otto. Besides playing on the football team he made his letter in soccer. And how he can dance! A class “pow-wow” is never quite complete without Otto. We could go on raving about his cornet and all the other numerous accomplishments with which he has been blessed, but space prohibits. C rnryr 3fit-ttrralii Fitzie” Phi Alpha, A. A. George has, we venture to say, the longest, deepest, and widest vocabulary in Holyoke High. Occasionally lie can define the word that Mr. Moriarty himself springs on his classes. His favorite topic of conversa- tion is, however, the Irish question. If you want in- formation on the subject, don’t go to Miss Fay,— just “let George do it.” George is a hard worker, and will undoubtedly acquire a prominent place in the professional world. ahnmas 3Flahrrtu Tom .

Iflaltrr 3F ribrrg “Walt Phi Alpha. A. A. The one trouble with graduation is that we will lose connections with fellows like “Walt.” He is rather quiet in school, but we have it from the best of authority that Walt can certainly shake a mean fiddle.

The dignified wearer of the tortoise-shell glasses. No, you’re quite mistaken. If you’ve ever heard him talk, you’ll know that most of what “Bob” says is funny instead of dignified. And have you ever heard him jazz up the piano? It's like the magic fiddle— you can’t sit still. But he can be serious when occa- sion demands it. He studies, of course, but you’d hardly call him a grind except when it comes to French—and then it sounds like the real thing, any- way, when he begins to parlez-vous. truimrli (Slratmtau Ed Phi Alpha, French, A.

The honor of these two positions describes him better than any number of words can do. but if this is not a sufficient recom- mendation consult the successes of all our class affairs. His is assuredly an enviable record. The class extends its deepest appreciation and thanks for the time and trouble that he has expended. ArrbibaU) Huutrr “Archie” Phi Alpha, A.

Providing “Archie holds his present speed, he need fear not for the future. IDtlliam .flnhusmt “Bill” Phi Alpha. A. A., Spanish. Behold our wittiest boy. and therefore one of our class prophets. Bill knows how to say the most ab- surd things with a perfectly straight face. He is fully capable of sending a gloomy crowd off into spasms of laughter. Most people who don’t know him think that “Bill is very quiet—but you’d be surprised! Confiden- tially speaking, now—“Bill is the chief custodian of the Spanish club’s treasury.

It will be a sorry day when the Highland Fruit Co. looses John, but it will be sorrier when we will have to miss our daily associa- tion with Kilker.” a humus iKttut “Bert” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. Math. Dances, entertainments, games, lectures, and all school functions, mean “Bert” King. They would cer- tainly mean less if it were not for “Bert.

JLuthnrr Casktn “Izzy” Phi Alpha. A. A. Isadore is a rather quiet member of '22. Many years ago a noted philosopher, as philosophers go, made an irreproachable statement to the effect that the quiet ones were the deep 'uns. Also they are the noticeably dependable people. Isadore is no ex- ception to this fundamental law. trim Uruittsmt “Cupid” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. “Score? Levie. Score?” But it’s seldom that “Levie has to be prompted when it comes to follow- ing the game. We must admit that occasionally, how- ever, “Levie lets his eyes wander, to the feminine side of the bleachers. It wouldn’t be so bad, if the girls would only leave him to his own devices. We can make no criticism of “Cupid” as a friend. He is always ready to help out no matter what the demand. □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ■ □ 50 □ □ ------ SENIORS ---------------------------- = tiUiar fHamii “Ed Phi Alpha, A. A., French. Another of our excellent stock of athletic rooters! Although he supports all of our teams, his specialty is the national game.

We thank you. “Ed.” Jfrauklitt Murris “Prank Phi Alpha. A. A. The two terms, “Franklin Morris and “a good time,” mean the same. Wherever Frank is found, you can always he sure to find amusement. Frank was not in 53” for the first half year, hut he has made his presence known while he has been. With his cheerful grin and sunny disposition, he need have no fears as to his future. We would even go so far as to say that, if Frank were nominated for the Presidency of the U. S. A„ and there were no other candidates running, he would easily carry the election. Arthur fttmtttihau “Artie Phi Alpha. A. A„ French. Arthur has been the captain of our soccer team this last year. During this time he has booted in more goals than his quota. In addition to getting goals, “Art has a decided knack for drawing high marks in all his studies. By winning the “Herald” contest, Art satisfactorily demonstrated that he has not entirely succumbed to the Scottish influence. '22 wishes “Art” the same fortune in life as that which has followed him in school. (Churlrs ifluir “Charley’' Phi Alpha, A. A. Our exceptional class has unfortunately been blessed with few artists. From the best of authority, how- ever, we have it that Charley can certainly shake a mean brush. Whether Charley will utilize his un- questioned talent to decorate barns and fences, or whether he is to develop into a second Rembrandt is a problem for time to work out. We imagine that Rembrandt will have a close run for his money. 31 o hit (O’Sriru “Johnnie Phi Alpha, A. A., French. “Johnnie” is a man well versed in the arts. Be- sides being our class poet John can make a fiddle sit up and beg. He has filled the “scribcship of the Phi Alpha and has been a meml er of the debate team during his last year. Our best natured boy also held the position of chairman of our last prom com- mittee.

As long as the graduating class at H. H. S. has an Osborne in their midst it is sure of one live mem- ber. “You can’t keep a good smile down,” is Ray’s motto. He certainly practices what he preaches for ’tis seldom one ever sees “Ozzy” not in back of his grin. This may, in a way, be responsible for his popularity, for it is an undisputed fact that he is one of our best-liked members. Bmiatiui ilhrl;is “Holistic” Phi Alpha, A. A.. French. Math. Our “brightest boy.” Whether this appellation was gained through study or natural brilliancy will always remain a mystery. We give him the benefit of the doubt and call it natural. “Holistic” has made his letter in tennis, hockey, and debating. He was captain of this year’s tennis squad. Although “Hous- tie's” taste has always seemed to run to stripes in clothing, we trust it is not prophetic of the future. (ftnrium |Iulsim “Gordon” Phi Alpha, A. A.. French. Math. ’Nothcr orator.

Basketball is not the only game where “Ed” and his grin can be found. He has always been a loyal supporter of our teams. If this doesn’t com- prise school spirit, what does?

Our class can never repay him for the honor that he has brought to us, but we certainly extend to him our cordial best wishes. lamre £ltra Jimmie” Phi Alpha, A. A., French.

Skating is also an achievement that our fair brother has mastered. To watch “Jim” cut figures is a joy in itself. With his smile and disposition he has the world at his feet. William Hickman ‘‘Billie Phi Alpha. A. A., French. “Billie” is hardly the kind of boy you would expect to see walking into telephone poles while gazing back- wards at a beautiful skir—girl. But he is by no means a woman hater. “Billy” was elected our “class grind.” Fay from the greater part of his time is taken up with the pursuit of knowledge. He likes to romp and play as well as the next. Perhaps the best way to express Billy” is to call him an all-around “good kid.” Allan £mii� rr Allan” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. Allan, the mystery man; did he, or did he not per- petrate the “Daily Line”? Perhaps when Allan has become a successor to J. Dempsey, he will be willing to tell us. Because of his exceptional ability as an actor in the Senior play, Allan has achieved promi- nence in H. H. S.

At times, though, we have seen his serious side, even if he was elected the most mis- chievous” boy in the class. Jfraukltn £tutlirr ‘‘Frank” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. In “Frank we can always find a friend. “Frankie has always been strong for the out-of-doors. Tramp- ing, skiing, swimming, and hiking—all have an ardent admirer in Frank.

We wish Eli all possible happiness, as he certainly deserves it. JfraurtH bullitum “Sully” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. Who among us will ever forget “Sully's” nominat- ing speeches? Given half a chance, he could have Ted O’Rourke nominated and elected for the governorship of the South Sea Islands.

We thank him, for faith- fully and well has he served us. .Kuhn trtuunpmm “Johnnie” Phi Alpha, A. A., French. A small body but a large mind is “Johnnie’s” description. Those of us who have witnessed his diving realize what “Johnnie can do with his body. To see our star diver throw “once and a halfs,” “salmons,” etc., makes it look so easy that we arc prone to try it ourselves, with the general result that “Johnnie” need have no fear of his position. When we ?dd to this his intellectual abilities, we take off our hats to John Thompson. Aluah IHtllnix “Al” Phi Alpha, A. A., French, Math., Spanish. Need we write much about “Al”? This book is an index of his ability as he is our editor-in-chief. Alvah is a member of the Herald board and has contributed to its success this year. “Al’s pleasant disposition has made him a friend of everybody in the class, as well as being one of its most popular members. He has always been an ardent supporter of all teams and school dances. Future classes will be fortunate to have such members as “Al.” Alphnusr Wilhrlm “Al” Phi Alpha. A. A., French. Here is one of E. J. Tripp’s proteges. What “Al” can’t tell you about juggling accounts and commercial law, isn’t. We entertain no doubt that E.

Many of the best stories may have been signed with a strange name, but there was certainly no doubt as to their source. His humor has endeared him to '22. A friend of “Jim's” is a friend in luck. iflrtirr Zimmrrmatt Z hinny Phi Alpha, A. A. Meyer is one of our little fellows. But his size doesn’t detract one mite from his popularity.

It’s a terribly “winning” grin, and very often it turns into an exceedingly hearty laugh. Meyer is a clever boy, too, and we all feel confident of his future success. □ SENIORS □ hx Appreciation By the death of Arthur Hebert, the Holyoke High School has lost one of the most promising students and the Junior Class, of which he was a member, feels this loss greatly. Arthur was one of the best known boys of the class. In his Freshman and Sophomore years he was a mem- ber of the Assembly, holding the office of treasurer the first year. Although his Junior year was but half over, he had been chairman of the class play com- mittee and had taken a prominent part in the play. He was also a member of the French Club and the Phi Alpha. As a student Arthur was all that he should have been. He took his work seriously, studied faithfully and pleased his teachers. Because of his fine char- acter, his cheerful and happy disposition, and gentle- manly ways he had many friends in whose hearts he I had won a loving place. We, the members of the Class of 1922, desire to express to Arthur Hebert’s family, our deepest sym- pathy for their sorrow and our appreciation of the life that may be well for us to use for inspiration.

When a pupil is confined to a class the sixth period and sees an opportunity to omit through the medium of a club meeting, he has nothing but praise for our organizations. But, when he is asked to participate in its activities it is an entirely different proposition. The clubs of Holyoke High mean the social life of the school. We take the opportunity to attend their dances. We enjoy their entertainments, and we ridicule them. A person can derive only as much benefit from a thing as lie puts himself into it. If we all would enter into the spirit of the organizations of the schools and criticize them less, our clubs will be still more interesting than they now are, and we shall appreciate them to the fullest. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 57 □ = CLUBS □ “Q” CLUB Marian Riley. ' XNCE more in the pages of the “Q Club's history may lx recorded a most successful year. With a club of 165 true, American, fun-loving girls, there can be no doubt that “pep” and jolliness are bound to show themselves in all “Q” Club doings. The monthly meetings were most entertaining, yet instructive, and this was due entirely to the spirit the girls showed when called upon to display their “talents'' and to the dozens of girls who served on committees and worked hard to make the programs worth while. The one event which stands out in the minds of the 1921-1922 club girls is undoubtedly the Harvest Party. Never could one imagine what a difference a slight change of costume makes in our girls. Girls, did I say? I really meant children; for they were surprisingly converted into six and seven-year-olds who romped and played to their hearts' delight. Then, too, the club was especially fortunate this year in having two well known Holyoke women speak to them. .Miss Peck from the Associated Charities told us about the work of this organiza- tion and enlisted our aid in selling tags for this worthy cause. A former “Q” Club girl, Miss Gertrude Franz, spoke to the girls on a very interesting topic—that is, Domestic Science. She influenced a great many of the girls to follow up this work. Miss Franz is interested in both the Civic League and the Hampden County League, and has charge of Holyoke's Community Kitchen. The 1921-1922 officers of the Club, who have served loyally and faithfully, are as follows: President, Doris Shaw; Vice President, Margaret Thorp; Treasurer, Ruth Batchelor; Sec- retary, Marian Riley. The “Q” Club spirit, which we all now recognize, we hope will continue throughout the years to come and we ask that the standard of the club be kept at the same high grade in the future as it has been in the past by those who have been fortunate enough to bo its members. The “Q” Club wishes to thank Miss Fay for all that she has done to make it a success. □ - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — Q 59 --- CLUBS = PHI ALPHA John O’Brien. VV7HEN the Phi Alpha held its first meeting of this year, on September 2f , we all looked forward to a most successful season. This expectancy has been fulfilled. If there are any Senior or Junior hoys who have not attended at least one meeting, we have yet to find them. During the winter months, many interesting debates have been presented by the members of Phi Alpha. Many Phi Alphians of decided musical ability have been drawm from oblivion into the limelight in the course of our meetings. Phi Alpha has certainly been well represented in school athletics. Every member of our football, basketball, and baseball teams is a Phi Alpha supporter. The annual Phi Alpha dance was held on Friday, February 3, in the gymnasium, with a record attendance. It appeared as though even- student who was accomplished (or otherwise) in the grace- ful art of dancing was present. The ‘ ‘ Oxford Harmony Orchestra furnished all necessary music. Those who didn’t spend an enjoy- able evening weren’t there. The dance, both socially and finan- cially, was one of the most successful ever conducted by the club. In connection with the Phi Alpha we must mention our popular faculty director, Mr. Arthur J. McDonald. Mr. McDonald has always been on hand with his helpful and kindly advice, ever work- ing for the best interests cf the boys in his charge. Our best wishes go with Mr. McDonald for many more successful seasons of the Phi Alpha. Phi Alpha's officers for this year have been as follows: James Merriman, president: John O'Brien, secretary; execu- tive committee: Ferdinand Ducharme, chairman; William Burns, Edward Beauchamp, Edward McHugh. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 61 □ = CLUBS = □ ROUND THE TABLE Eleanor O’Brien. J HE Round tin Table Club lias finished its second successful year as the only society in school the membership of which depends on high scholarship. It is indeed an honor to be taken into the club, and a pleasure to be retained as a member. We have had many delightful programs this year, such as a Shakespearian story contest, dramatization of modern plays, and a study of modern poetry. There is another art, although not literary, which helps to make our meetings so interesting: This is music. The Club is very fortunate in having many talented musicians to entertain those who are not disciples of Orpheus. But do not think ‘‘Hound the Table” merely a literary and musical society. The sociability of its members was easily proved to anyone who came to our annual banquet. Miss Delaney and about thirty-two girls, with Mr. and Mrs. Conant as guests, assem- bled in the gymnasium at 4:30 o'clock. Then the good time began! All literary atmosphere was cast aside and laughter and enjoy- ment rapidly took its place. Games and dancing were enjoyed by all. Everyone remembers this affair with joyous satisfaction, especially perhaps the feast in the teachers’ dining room, with which it closed. “Round the Table” is not a money-making organization, but prompted by school spirit, we have contributed to all causes by proving our ability as “Master Confectioners.” In former years, we have made our annual gift to the school possible by selling candy at the annual Dramatics, but this year our originality was severely taxed by the omission of the Dramatics. At once the idea of hanging May baskets to the teachers was conceived. This unprece- dented proceeding was certainly a success. The pleasure for both the teachers and the girls, derived from this, was mutual. The Club owes its success to the cooperation of its members and officers who could have accomplished little without the valuable assistance and advice of the two honorary members, Mr. Conant, who, through his consideration, interest, and welcomed visits in our Club, has made all our plans realized, and Miss Delaney, who, through her enthusiasm, earnestness, and sweet disposition, has made each meeting a treasured thought in our memories; under her guidance the club will live and prosper for future years. The officers for this year were: Honorary President, Mar- garet Thorp; President, Catherine Delaney; Vice-President, Nera Davis; Treasurer, Miriam .Jones; Secretary, Eleanor O’Brien; for whom may “Hound the Table” find such worthy successors that the club will continue its successful, happy course. □ = = NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 63 □ 11 —------ — CLUBS — □ THE ASSEMBLY Fred Ryder. C ER boy in the freshman or sophomore class who has his name on The Assembly’s list is fortunate indeed, for the club has been of great value to all those who have belonged. In order to have a group of real workers it was thought desirable to limit the membership to seventy-five boys, all of whom should take some part in the programs during the year. At each meeting, which is held once a month, it is planned to have something educational and something entertaining. The mem- bers of The Assembly themselves provide the program. For in- stance, they choose a question for a debate, then have the pupils volunteer for the different sides. From these volunteers they pick two members for each side of the question. At the next meeting, they give their debate before the club. These debates benefit the pupils in many ways. The club also selects for every meeting a play, one that is entertaining and funny. This gives all the boys a chance to try their talent in acting. Another feature of the meetings is the music furnished by the various members. At one of the meetings, a man with a wireless set entertained the club. Messages were received from places as far distant as Eiffel Tower in France. A most successful dance has also been given by The Assembly. This was the means of raising a considerable sum for the piano fund. The club has Mr. Sanford, the head of the English Department, for supervisor. It is due to his great efforts and the cooperation of the members that The Assembly has succeeded so well. The mem- bers elected the following officers for this year: Speaker, Leonard Hall; assistant speaker, Edward Williamson; secretary, Allan Pren- tiss; assistant secretary, Daniel O’Connell, and treasurer, Warren Clark. These officers have guided the club through the school year very successfully. Every boy who has belonged has always considered himself lucky to have been a member of such a helpful club. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — [ 65 CLUBS FRENCH CLUB □ Katherine Morris. rV'RING the past year, Le Cerele Frangais has lived up to its excellent reputation by completing a most successful season. The officers have been: Edward Beauchamp, president; Marie Driscoll, vice-president; Edward McHugh, treasurer; Katherine Morris, secretary. These, with the hundred odd members of the club, have striven to make each meeting one of intense success. At the first meeting of the year we were entertained by two playletts, “A la Gare de Lyon,” and “How Johnny and Mary Learned to Speak French.” The performers surprised us, both in their acting and in their ability to speak French. Practically every member of the club attended the second meeting of the year, for which a most interesting program was arranged. A miniature Disarmament Conference took place at this meeting. Very interesting talks were given in French and translated into English for the benefit of those members who had not had enough French to understand all of the discussion. Perhaps the most notable event in the history of Le Cerele Francais occurred in the early part of December, when Marshal Foch favored us with a brief visit to Holyoke. Our vice-president. Marie Driscoll, presented him with a bouquet of flowers and secured his autograph on his picture which the school possesses. The annual French Club dance, which took place in the gymna- sium, was a success in every way. The patrons and patronesses for the dance were: Mr. and Mrs. Conant, Miss Sears, and Mr. Mitchell. The proceeds from this affair are to be contributed to the piano fund. Although our president and vice-president will be lost through graduation, in addition to many more loyal members, we hope that in the future, Le Cerele Francais will have many seasons as equally successful as has been that of 1921-1922. - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 67 □ = CLUBS = □ CLASSICAL CLUB Margaret Shea. E “Funs Sapientiae Per Libros Fluit.” nr HE Classical Club has had a very successful and interesting year under the guidance of Miss Allen, the head of the classical department. The attendance at the meetings has been larger than ever before. The first meeting started with the old Roman custom of draw- ing lots for the officers. The sacred fire was brought by the Pon- tifex Maximus under most auspicious omens. From a Greek classic, the words, strength, beauty, truth, and righteousness were chosen for the class of 1922. The committees always entered into the spirit of the club and arranged many interesting programs. The Christmas program was especially interesting with a discussion of the Roman celebra- tions. Then the members sang Christmas songs in Latin. At the close of the meeting, Miss Allen gave each member a red candle to bum on Christmas Eve, in tme Roman fashion. To the future members of this ever-growing Classical Club we consign the Sacred Fire and our favorite motto, “‘Mens sana in corpore sano juvenal.” □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO = □ 69 CLUBS THE HERALD James P.

Her literary manifestations have overshadowed Poe, her poetry shamed Shakespeare, her club notes rivaled in age the antiquities of ancient Egypt, her athletic news has reproduced the strife of battle and the noise of frenzied crowds, her editorials have reached the pinnacle of editorial arrogance. To state it concisely, The Herald is superlative. Not the least of her achievements Ls the re-discovery of a lost art.

Brooks, and John O’Brien could be so reckless in love and ad- venture; and, last but not least, whoever could believe that Bill Merriman, Ed McHugh, Tom Geran, Ed Beauchamp, and Jack (Peg) Sullivan could raise moustaches in the course of thirty minutes? The greatest factor that contributed to the excellent presenta- tion was, perhaps, the adaptability of the actors for their assigned roles. It was quite natural for Ilazel Underwood, our leading lady, to “turn down’’ the poor sailor boys. As for being devoted. Rosanna Turcotte, Margaret Thorp, Beatrice Todd, and Florence Church were in their element. Marian Riley was also at home while doing the “Sailor’s Hornpipe.” In handing out credit, we must remember Ferd Ducharme as old Bill Salt, and Joe Stout, alias Bill Burns, crossed in love. In the personage of Joe, John O’Brien had a fine chance to show his reckless spirit. Alas, all was not rosy! Mr. Craig still insists that his crop of hair was sadly whitened from the responsibility of perfecting the show during exams. Also. Miss Powers thinks, to this day, that the years of her life were materially shortened because of the “Nauti- cal Knot”. Before closing. I wish to mention the wonderful assistance furnished by Mr. Hamel, of the faculty, and Josh Hicks, a fellow student, who took charge of the stage artistry so wonderfully. May the operetta be remembered. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — □ 73 □ = CLUBS —- □ DEBATING TEAMS P OR the first time in several years, Holyoke High was represented on the debating platform in 1922. On April 28th, the Holyoke team clashed with the Classical High School of Salem, Mass., with the result of a tie, both home teams winning the decisions. Tin Holyoke affirmative, composed of John O’Brien, captain; Bessie Saltzman, Archie Hunter, and William Sickman, alternate, won a 4 to 1 decision in Holyoke, while the invading negative team, composed of Evelyn Buckley, captain, William Gordon Poison, Houston Phelps, and Milton Bearg, alternate, lost a close 3 to 2 award. The question debated was: Resolved, That all labor disputes should be settled by compulsory arbitration. The Salem High School desires the debate to be an annual affair between the two schools, which we hope may be arranged. This year's teams were composed entirely of Seniors, so that stu- dents with any debating ability in other classes have a fine oppor- tunity to make the 1923 team. □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO : □ 75 □ = CLUBS = □ SPANISH CLUB Edward Jones. rJ 1 HE newly organized Spanish Club has proven itself a great success. The meetings relieve the monotony of the regular class day schedule and bring forth many interesting points con- cerning the habits and customs of the Spanish people. At these meetings the greater part of the discourse is carried on in Spanish, which affords good training in speaking the language. The officers of the club are made up of a president, vice-presi- dent, secretary and last, but not least, a treasurer. The receipts of the club have at times reached nearly twenty cents. The club had the honor of welcoming Mr. Conant into its membership as an honorary member at midyear’s. At this particu- lar meeting when Mr. Conant accepted the invitation to become a member, light refreshments were served and several very interest- ing talks given. Mr. Conant agreed with us that it is a club worth while. It is with deep regret that we Seniors now turn over the club to those studying Spanish next year. We feel that we have derived much benefit from it and hope that those concerned in it in the future will obtain an equal amount. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO == = □ 76 □ - ATHLETICS : - □ SOCCER TEAM Henri Mondob. T T LY()KE High has certainly a right to feel proud of her soccer - ■ team for 1! 22. The team has upheld the high standard that Holyoke has always held in soccer. This year the team attained the distinction of being rated the New England High School champions. Out of the entire seven games played we won six and tied the seventh. When we consider that practically every high school in this part of the country has a soccer team, we feel that ours is to be thanked. A noticeable feature of the team was the fine team work. All players did exceptionally well throughout the season. Perhaps the best game played was with Springfield College. The victory caine to Holyoke, 3-1. Our other games were: Wilbraham 1, Holyoke 3; Commerce 1, Holyoke 5; Tech of Springfield 1, Hol- yoke 5; Wilbraham Y. M. C. A. 1, Holyoke 1; Hopkins Academy 1, Holyoke 5; and a return game with Hopkins with the victory for Holyoke, 3-1. The team, under the wonderful training of Coach Maculay, was: Captain Moynihan, “Kiltie” Mathieson, “Pete” Soutiere, John McGill, Max MargolLs, “Scotch” Williamson, Ed Fitzpatrick, “Howie” Murphy, “Chuck” Muier, “Cy” Wynn, “Jack” Rey- nolds, “Tom” Flaherty, Henri Mondor, manager, and “Pewee” Lynch, mascot and team rooter. □ = NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 77 □ = ATHLETICS = □ FOOTBALL Francis J. Sullivan. RV winning five out of eight games played, the eleven succeeded in bettering the records of the teams of the four veal’s previ- ous. This creditable showing will be appreciated more when it is remembered that seven of the games were played against heavier opponents. In the early part of September candidates were called out for practice. After a few weeks of hard training under the able guid- ance of Coaches “Dotty” Whalen and “Danny” Regan and Cap- tain Astley, a team was selected which was to battle on the gridiron to uphold the football honors of II. II. S. October 1st saw the gridsters participating in their first con- test. Southbridge Trade School was the victim of a 35-0 trimming. The entire second team was used in part of the engagement. On October 7th, tin team journeyed to Monson, where it left tin Academy feeling the sting of a 20-0 defeat. in New Britain the next week, the pigskin chasers were forced to accept a 6-0 beating. There was, however, consolation in the fact that our boys outplayed the rivals in the greater part of the game. South High of Worcester sent up a formidable team which was confident of victory. It went back to the “Heart of the Com- monwealth” with a 6-0 defeat stamped on its record. In North- ampton. the squad was forced to the limit, but emerged a victor, 7-6. Holyoke met its second set-back of the season at the hands of Chicopee, when a dropkick in the last few minutes of play gave the latter the long end of a 10-7 score. On Armistice Day came the big game of the year. The “Purple and White” was pitted against the “Maroon and Gold” of Com- merce in their annual battle. Before a cheering and yelling crowd of 2.500 fans, our team fought its way nobly, and as due reward won a 10-0 victory over the Springfield rivals. Holyoke received the worst defeat of the season when Ansonia (Ct.) High rolled up a total of 26 points. It was a great fight in the first half, but the far greater weight of the opponents told upon the local aggregation. The following men were awarded the “II”: Captain Astley, Burns, Callahan, Ducharme, Felsentreger, Levenson, Lyons, .McHugh, J. Merriman, W. Merriman, Odabashian, Osborne, Ryan, Shaw, Strong, and Manager Sullivan. Our best wishes are extended to Ed. McHugh, the captain-elect, in the hope that he will lead a team which will win laurels for II. II. S. as the team representing the “Purple and White” in 1921 has certainly done. □ „ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 79 ATHLETICS BASKETBALL Archie Hunter. 3 THIS year’s basketball team has proved itself the best since the championship team of 1918. After losing the playoff for the Valley League title to Northampton in an overtime game, Holyoke went to Glens Falls, N. Y., and won the championship of Northern New York and New England. The tournament was a whirlwind affair. The “Purple and White” played its best basketball of the season and was the fastest quintet in the tournament. The first night Holyoke defeated Glens Falls High School 27-23 in an ex- ceptionally fast game. Herve Choiniere dropped in seven baskets and five fouls for a total of nineteen points. The second game was a thriller in every sense of the word. The Holyoke men showed Glens Falls Academy the small end of a 27-23 score. With but three seconds to play and Glens Falls leading by one point, John McGill dropped in a pretty basket just as the whistle ending the game sounded. On the third night, our team defeated the Christian Brothers' Academy of Syracuse 21-19. With the score deadlocked at 19-19 and but two minutes to play, Herve Choiniere shot in a basket over his head. The entire team played a phenomenal game during the tournament. Herve Choiniere. John McGill, and James Merriman showed up especially well. The team won twenty games and lost seven during the season. The following men will receive letters: Captain William Merriman, James Merriman, John McGill, Herve Choiniere, James Kenney, Robert Carrol. William Wolkov, Edward Fitzpatrick, Chester Strong and Edward Williamson. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 81 □ ATHLETICS □ BASEBALL John Kalloch, Manager. 3 IIE H. H. S. Baseball Team got off to a flying start by winning the four games played up to the time of this writing. We have defeated “Ilamp.” with Shea in the box by a score of 9 to 1; Westfield, 19 to 3, with Dean performing; Orange, 4 to 3, ten innings, with Kalloch, and West Springfield, 12 to 5. The team was greatly weakened by the loss of “Jay” Merriman, star third sacker. Man gum is bearing the brunt of backstop work and is playing in league form. Much is expected from “Len” with the stick this season. The infield is composed of Carrol, who took the place of J. Sullivan at first base when Sullivan was shifted to the outfield because of his batting ability; Choiniere and Kane at second, McGill patrolling short, and Walker stationed at third. These four comprise one of the fastest infields in this section. Capt. Jerry St. Marie is stationed in the center garden. Williamson in left and Sullivan in right. The team batting average is top- ping 600. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 83 □ = ATHLETICS — □ SWIMMING Charles Forest. E HP HE Holyoke High Swimming Team, under the able guidance of Assistant Coach Daniel Regan, opened its successful season by journeying to Worcester on January 7th. Worcester Academy defeated Holyoke 42-11, but we put up a fine opposition against such a strong team. On January 13th, the Springfield College freshmen were defeated in the local tank by a score of 30-23. January 18th, we met Crosby High of Waterbury and downed them at 35-18. On February 3, Holyoke was defeated by the Springfield freshmen; they capturing 35 points to our 18. This defeat was due to the fact that Mahoney, one of the relay team, was “out of the swim’’ because of illness. The loss of the relay was the cause of our defeat. On February 18th, the team again traveled to Waterbury, and again defeated Crosby High. This was the last dual meet of the year. February 25th marked our greatest triumph. An inter-scholastic meet was held in Troy, N. Y., under the auspices of the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. Hol- yoke received first honore in this meet by amassing a total of 27 points. Albany followed a close second with 21 points. Schenec- tady captured third place with 17, while Washington Irving School stopped at 10. Holyoke captured firsts in four out of six events. In every meet except the latter, Dyer has won the 100-yard dash, and on the three occasions that he entered the 220, he lead all others. Burns has contributed materially in the 50-yard dash. Lunn’s work in the 220 was excellent. He won this event in the meet with Crosby, and also in the interscholastic meet at Troy. The plunging of Fleming, a youngster, has been notable. The form of the three divers, Thompson, Morrison, and Whittemore, has been superlative, especially so in the case of Thompson, who won the diving in Troy. The men who will receive letters are as follows: Captain Francis Dyer, William Burns, Carl Lunn, Edwin Mahoney, Roman Marchinik, William Fleming, John Millane, John Thompson, Don- ald Whitmore. Thomas Morrison, Ernest Gabler, and Charles Forest, manager. - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO - □ 85 □ ATHLETICS TRACK TEAM Edward J. MrllroH, '28. HE track team lias had a most successful season. A very large squad reported for the first workouts, and some fine material showed up. Of last year's team there remained Captain “Duke” Dueharme, Burns, Osborne, Smith, Merrick, and Grandehamp. With this nucleus one of the best track teams ever representing our school was formed. Under the able leadership of Captain Dueharme the team has made a fine showing. Ilolyoke High was represented in the First Annual Hartford Industrial track meet, and won first place over such schools as Suftield Academy, Loomis Institute, and Hartford High, winning a silver loving cup. The team was defeated in a dual meet with Hartford High, but showed its superiority to that school in the running events. In the M. A. C. Interscholastic meet, Holyoke High came out in third place over a field of twenty-three Massa- chusetts schools. In this meet Holyoke s lack of pole-vaulters, hurdlers, and mile runners was the main reason of not capturing first place. To date, these are the only meets Holyoke has entered, but we are competing in Trinity, Worcester Tech, and Brattlcboro inter- scholastic meets, and also a dual meet with Springfield Tech. The star performers of the season were: Captain Dueharme, in the dashes and broad jump; “Bill” Burns and “Ros” Grand- champ in the 440 and 880-yard dashes; Smith, Osborne. Moggio, and Majeau in the dashes; Merrick in the high jump; Odabashian and K1 lert in the shotpnt and discus throw. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 87 □ ■ = ATHLETICS — □ TENNIS TEAM Cecil E. Foote. HP IIE tennis team, on account of the early submittance of material for this book, has not yet played its first match, but is tugging at its leash, eager to tackle the heavy schedule which is fast being compiled. Captain Houston Phelps heads the list of candidates who will wield their w’icked raquets early in May. The balance of the team will consist of the following men: Joseph Merrick, Harold Shaw, Merwin Willcox, Cecil Foote, and Alvali Willcox. Although the exact dates have not yet been arranged, the fol- lowing strong teams are booked to supply the oppositon this Spring: Wilbraham Academy, Deerfield Academy, Technical High of Springfield, Williston Seminary, North High of Worcester, Central of Springfield, and the Springfield College Seconds. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 88 CLASS DAY AitiUTBH ofHdrmtu' Kenneth B. Hamilton. A NOTHER Class Day has dawned. a ’ Four years ago, the Class of 1922 looked forward with expectancy to this occassion. Classes of other days have celebrated similar events and have ex- tended greetings, but none more sincere than those the Class of 1922 extends to you to-day. For four long, yet seeming- ly short ,years, we as a class have emerg- ed from the awkward stage of the gram- mar grades to the more cultured prod- uct of the High School, ready to em- bark upon the great sea of life. Many of us will continue upon the course of education to institutions of higher learning while others will seek to become masters in different branches of industry. As a Class, we have exceeded all expectations—at least all of our own expectations. In scholarship, though the list of first honor pu- pils is short, the second honor list is the longest in the record of the school. This is enough to warrant the statement that the standard of our Class is exceptionally high. Our athletic attainments are supreme. Our basketball and swimming teams won the interscholastic championship of both New York and New England, while our soccer team was the un- disputed champion of this state. The records of our baseball, football, track, and tennis, teams are also to he envied. Our social activities leave nothing to be desired. The student interest in clubs has never been greater. The realization that we are never more to participate in these «activities as students of Holyoke High School awakens within us a deep feeling of sorrow. Yet we are glad that, by the hand of fate, we were destined to he members of the ('lass of 1922. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 89 □ □ = CLASS DAY = But, as this, our Class Day is to la a joyous one, let us listen to our retrospect, to the humorous deductions of our prophets, to the bequeathing of our fondest possessions to our successors, and to the eloquence of our orators. So, again, with the spirit of loyalty actuating us. We, the Class of 1922, welcome you. In the midst of our Graduation Exercises, we would not regard these days as marking the end of our work; rather do we love to remember that these closing days in Holyoke High are but the beginning of greater responsibilities. The ex- periences of the past four years should serve as stepping stones to the higher and more noble duties of life. We crave your lasting in- terest in all our future activities. We desire to bring credit to our Alma Mater, and glory to the fair city that has so generously provided the opportunities for our education. Therefore, stirred by the unfaltering interest that Our City, Our Parents, Our Friends, and Our Teachers have so splendidly manifested at all times, we propo e to press on, and on. and on. □ CLASS DAY □ (Hlana ijiatimj Marik Driscoll □ 1918-1919 C EPTEMHER 3.—At last, we are High School pupils. We, poor little Freshies, spent the whole day in becom- ing initiated, to the great joy of the up- per classmen. Hut our time is coming. Revenge is sweet. September 2.—Horrors! A vacation. Because of the old influenza, and wc were having such a good time. We shed tears—of joy. October 14.—Back to school with our homework done, or not done, as the case may be. November 11.—Home again! The Armistice was signed today, and we get a whole day off. Is war completely what Sherman said of it ? Things are surely coming our way. May 29.—Our hats won’t fit us for a while to come. To- day one of our members was chosen to unveil the Plac bearing the names of Holyoke High’s honored dead. .June 6.—A great concession was allowed us today. What do you think it was? We were granted permission to use the audito- rium, where, after a weighty discussion, the following officers were elected: President, Kenneth Hamilton ; vice-president, Bertha Bur- nett; treasurer, John Begley; secretary, Beatrice Todd. June 22.—Vacation for two months! Of course, we are sorry. 1919-1920 September 4.—What fun we had today watching the little, unsophisticated Freshies get lost. Life is sweet! September 19.—After a brief struggle as to who should be the recipients of our honorable thank-you jobs, because of the number of capable persons in the class, we finally decided thus: President, Kenneth Hamilton; vice-president, Rosanna Turcotte; treasurer, John Begley; secretary, Beatrice Todd. ■ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 91 □ □ □ CLASS DAY . . = December 18.—Behold in our class some of the future leading lawyers of the country. The Mock Trial, staged by the Assembly under the auspices of ’22, bears proof to this statement. But that is only a sample. You should hear how convincingly some of them can argue in the classroom, especially when their homework isn’t done. February 21.—Our first venture into the world as actors. Our play was enjoyed by the school and laurels were heaped high upon our heads. May 20.—Some of our prominent male members were seen walking with some representatives of the weaker sex. The spring air seems to have a strange effect on the children. .June 22.—We have completed our year of being “Wise Fools.” May it rest in peace. 1920-1921 September 5.—As upper classmen, we all returned to school with new coats—of tan. They are rather economical. September 29.—Because of the merits of our officers we peti- tioned them to retain their respective offices for another year. Fortunately, they consented. November 16.—At the gym to-day the girls enjoyed their first “Q” Club fete. We dressed as children once again. You could scarcely distinguish us from the real thing. December 24.—Our plays, “The Christmas Burglar,” and “Christmas Chimes,” were so well liked that we received praise from even a certain individual from whom praise is rare. Every- thing about our actors was professional, even to the make-ups. February 22.—To-day we met our first great sorrow in the death of our classmate, Arthur Hebert. He was the chairman of our play committee, and helped to make our plays the success that they proved to be. We cannot express his worth in mere words. God alone can do that. Let it suffice to say that he was a man in the truest sense of the word. March 9.—We presented the school with a beautiful class win- dow. Put in the skylight along with the others, it outshone them all. No wonder! Look at its source! April 18.—Our first prom! Maybe we didn’t show the Seniors a thing or two! May 20.—We have it on the Seniors again. As a result of a debate in the auditorium to-day the worthy judges decided that the Juniors won over the Senior team. Your class is proud of you, my boys. June 22.—This year has brought us many things, some of which are tickets for Class Day and Graduation. In comparison with these, the others aren’t worth mentioning. □ - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — - ■ □ 92 CLASS DAY - □ 1921-1922 September 6.—The proud possessors of “53.” Does it seem possible? Now all that we have to do is to enjoy our possession. Hut that isn’t as easy as it seems, with all the new rules and regulations. September 18.—The suggestion that we retain the same officers was unanimously accepted. Ours was a wise choice. October 30.—The Senior Costume Party was staged today. Everyone was admitted—if they had the fifty cents, even jailbirds. Some thought that, on the whole, the appearance of the class was improved. November 17.—How women do love to adorn themselves! Every girl in the Senior Class wore earrings to-day. Whether they came from the five-and-ten or were family heirlooms, they made some girls look barbarous. People’s natures are bound to show sometime. November 29.—Our Senior play outdistanced all others in its success. Some of the leading characters acted very naturally! January 11.—Little by little it has come upon us, and little by little we have succumbed. We wonder if the reason for the many “bobs” in our class is due to the fact that our girls like the barbers. January 21.—Of course we won the interclass track meet. What less could we expect of our athletes ? February 1.—The “Nautical Knot” was some knot! We discovered many artists who are not all painters. February 3.—The Phi Alpha held its annual dance this even- ing. As the young ladies, upon invitation, kindly consented to at- tend this “stag” affair, it was truly a success. February 15.—Mystery! It is in the air. Who are the per- petrators of the “Noosey Nocks”? Perhaps they are wise in con- cealing their identity. “There’s a reason”. February 24.—We have finally become aware that some mem- bers of our class have more than a sisterly love for their sister class, the “Sophs”. Do you blame them? April 5.—All statements are based on facts. The class of ’22 has on its honor roll the largest number of pupils of any preceding class. April 28.—“Pigtail Day”. Once more have w’e returned to the days of our childhood. It seems good to be able to lose our dignity oecassionallv. June 26.—To-day. With all its meaning. Thus close the four years of the Class of 1922. The most wonderful class that Holyoke High has ever produced. ' NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO = □ 93 □ CLASS DAY -.= □ (Elasfi (iratum “Carpe Diem” Edwin S. Brooks, .Jr. nPO-MORROW, TO-DAY, WILL BE VEST Ell DAY. We may as well be serious, since our schooldays of play and joy end with the next few days. Now, since the past has nothing for us but memories, we should think of the future, which holds our lives in store. A few years ago, predestination was ridiculed as fatalism, so much so, that when a man was accidentally run down by a machine, it was said that the affair was bound to happen. But since that time, we have learned that our achievements are not caused by fate, hut can be foretold only by what we already have accom- plished. Before a number of athletes are set for the start of a 220-yard dash, the race is already won, barring mishap, for the man whose physical condition is the best. This winning condition is the result of hard, steady training for a month of yesterdays. There is no chance for the fellow who drills occassionally and breaks a training rule once in a while. So with us—we must rely on our faithfulness in the past to carry us through present tasks. It is true that suc- cess or failure in a crisis depends on a man’s past life. The crisis is the catastrophe for him who has not kept in training—for him who is unprepared. The universal law of compensation takes its toll. Bolshevism was a movement—to defeat that law—to get something for nothing—and its failure proved that such cannot be done. Yesterday and to-day will make to-morrow. Yesterday is forever gone, hut to-day is ours. Carpe Diem—make the most of to-day, and to-morrow will repay you for your labor. Aladdin, of the Arabian Nights, might have sat for a score of days and wished in vain over his wonderful lamp. But, lo, when □ □ ■ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 94 □ □ = CLASS DAY = he rubbed upon it, a genie came forth to obey his commands. We, like Aladdin, have in our possession a lamp, the lamp of knowledge, well supplied with the oil of education, obtained during these past four years, and former years of school. This lamp of ours is as infinitely powerful as was Aladdin’s. As Aladdin had to rub his lamp for the fulfillment of his wishes, so we, in order to have a servant whieh will obey our every desire, must think. Think! and act, find our desires, and then with hard persistent work, make our educational training help us to attain them. Who has not read or heard of Jules Vernes, the author of those marvelous books, which contained stories of the balloon and the submarine, long before these wonders were considered practical? lie, a dreamer, had visions; he merely contemplated. Those men who supplemented his dreams with thought, and conquered the scientific difficulties with work, made the balloon and submarine, realities which, by degrees, have become temporal necessities. If the inventors of tin airplane, the wireless, and the amplifier, had dreamt of such things for years, but never made them, they would never have reached their places among our foremost inventors of to-day. They were thinkers, who compelled their thoughts to work, forcing the training of their yesterdays to meet the demands of to-day and thus achieved the objects of their aims. Myriads of like experiences have shown that he who thinks he can, succeeds. At least we will say for the skeptic, that he who thinks he can’t, never will succeed. So, if our desire is strong enough, we can and will Think and Work to-day for to-morrow, feeling that to-day must be a remarkable yesterday in our unre- deemable past. □ □ — = CLASS DAY .. (tlaaa Will Rosanna Tlrcotte. VVTIi, the Class of 1922, being about to leave this sphere, in full posses- sion of a sound mind, memory and un- derstanding, do make and publish this our last will and testament, hereby re- voking and making void all former wills by us at any time heretofore made. And first we do direct that all just class debts be paid. As to such heirlooms and estate as it has pleased the fates, faculty and former graduating classes to give us, we do dis- pose of the same as follows: 1. Item. We give and bequeath to the City of Holyoke our deepest thanks for giving us the opportunities of acquiring a High School education to aid us on our quest into the world. 2. Item. To Mr. Conant and the overworked Faculty, in token of the trials they have undergone, we hereby bequeath such an increase in salary as will enable each one to retire from their re- spective office, for a much needed vacation. But we sincerely hope they will return to inspire other classes to continue in upholding the honors of II. II. S. 3. Item. The subjoined list will be recognized as entailed estates to which we do declare the Class of 1923 the real and right- ful successors. 1st. The pride of every Senior, “53,” but in doing this we feel it is our duty to give them prudent council regarding this heirloom. Don’t try to read the “Noosey Notes and Nocks.” Don t try to go in the front door between classes because there is always some teacher there doing police duty. Don’t try to sneak in after the 8:10 bell has rung. 2nd. We do hereby bequeath the leadership of the “Q” Club and Phi Alpha. □ ■ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ----- 96 = CLASS DAY :' = □ 3rd. The right to sit in the front seats in the auditorium and the privilege of being tin first ones to go out at assembly. 4th. We give and commend them the right and joy of paying all class dues promptly. 5th. We leave them the privilege of contributing to the Piano Fund. 6tii. Senior dignity is always handed over to the new-made lords of the High School world. We are afraid that this will be a strain upon the nerves and muscles of the gay and debonair Juniors, but we all hope they will rise to the occasion, as they sometimes can. 4. Item. We give and bequeath to our best beloved and cher- ished sister class, '24, all the wealth of love and blessings she may want. We also leave them the right of joining the “Q Club and Phi Alpha. 5. Item. To establish ourselves in the memory of the Fresh- men we leave a fire bell. With this attachment it is our belief that the upper classmen will hear them coming, therefore will be prepared to see the Freshmen Class and not mistake them as a part of the beautiful landscape. 6. Item. Asa reward for services rendered we feel it our duty to leave our two celebrated traffic managers, namely, Mr. Draper and Mr. Moriarty, something that will assist them in their diffi- culties on the second and third floors. To the former we bequeath a whistle and to the latter we leave a dumb policeman. If, at any time in the future the Police Force should go on a strike, we. the undersigned, would give satisfactory recommendations if the said teachers, before mentioned, volunteered to be of service to the city. 7. Item. Fnto Miss Powers we leave a book entitled “IIow to Become a Correspondence School Detective.” We hope that this will enable her to solve the problem of WHO TERNED ON THE HAS AT OCR SENIOR ELAY REHEARSALt 8.

To Mr. Whalen we bequeath a pair of field glasses so that he may see, without due strain to his eyes, all the lovers of the outdoors who promenade up Beech Street without being ex- cused from gymnasium classes. 11. Item. To Mr. Scanlon we leave pen, paper, and ink, so that he might write a book to be used by all future treasurers on the trials and tribulations of an A. A. Treasure. 12. Item. To Miss Allvn we leave a prescription for obtaining Wood Alcohol that will be recognized in any of the local drug — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ■ ■ □ 97 □ □ ------- = CLASS DAY — stores. Don’t cherish the idea that Miss Aliya wants to depart from this world, not at all; she will use this venomous liquid to demonstrate the Virgil Fires. 13. Item. To Mr. Baldwin we leave a special course in singing. With this golden opportunity, combinet! with his unusual ability along this line, it is our belief that he will soon rise to the position of singing master. 14. I Ti m. Among our possessions we have the latest inven- tion and fad, the radiophone. We know two members of the iaculty who could use this to a good advantage, namely, Mr. Whalen and Miss Lynn. These two teachers have considerable difficulties in gathering their strayed lambs, but we couldn’t forget Miss Fay. Upon consideration we decided that Miss Fay, our beloved dean, was the person to whom we would bestow this wonderful gift. She can have it installed in the library' so that if she wishes to inquire about a young lady who is absent from school she will not have to tire herself going up and down the stairs. 15. Item. Besides these enforced gifts we leave, not of neces- sity, but ot our own free will, our blessing and a pledge of friend- ship from henceforth to our Alma Mater. In Witness Whereof, We, the (’lass of 1922, the testators, have to this our last will, set our hand and seal, this eighteenth day of June, year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred twenty-two. We whose names are hereto subscribed do certify that on the 26th day of June, the Class of 1922, the testators, subscribed their names to this instrument in the presence of each of us. and at the same time, in the presence and hearing, declared the same to be their last Will and Testament, and requested us, and each of us, to sign our names thereto as witnesses to the execution thereof. □ — —-- NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 98 □ □ □ CLASS DAY (Elaas Prophecy I. William Johnson. TT has been recorded in history that some prophets of old were drawn up into heaven for the good works they had done on this earth. There is no danger that these four prophets will start for heaven so suddenly. The first mentioned gentlemen never had to ex- plain the future of a class or they would never have taken such a long trip. At cur last meeting the three fellow proph- ets were down and out. “IIow come?” I asked. “Why these dubious and dolorous expressions?” “Alas,” said Prophet Four, “the Gods remain in silence. Our class has no future.” “The Spirits of Fate are in wrath,” quoted Prophet Three. “What of the mystic ball?” I demanded. “We broke it when we were dusting it off,” they announced in unison. “What of the ouija board?” I asked. “One of the teachers took it home to play with,’’ said the chorus. “What of the witches’ cauldron?” “The Juniors are using it for a flower pot,” was the reply. “The Fates, indeed, have failed us,” I said. “Let’s go down and see Ted O’Rourke.” As I had expected, he was waiting for us, but the usual friendly smile was absent. “Why so pensive, Theodore,” I asked. “Have we merited rebuke ?’ ’ ‘ He quiet, ’ ’ said Ted, ‘ ‘ and let me talk. Every year the proph- ets come down and ask me to figure out the future of their classes. Last year they gave the credit to a ouija board and the year before to a mystic ball. Now I ought to get a little notice because it is I that does the work.” □ .. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — = □ 99 □ □ CLASS DAY : He had a good argument, so we had nothing to say. Of course, we did not like to spoil the reputation of the witches and magic wands, hut Ted demanded justice. He had the future of the class all ready, so we will present it to a wondering world. Kenneth Hamilton, after graduating from High School, will accept a position as ticket taker at the Belchertown Theater. The enormous strain of the occupation will cause him to seek easier work, so he will return to Holyoke and become employed by the city. Robert Gillette will become an excellent steamfitter. Robert has been a musician for some time and he feels that he will become an expert at the position, being well able to stand the pounding and the noise. Pearl Agambar has for several years been interested in a new science called Jones’ Method. Pearl claims that of all she has tried she has found it the most satisfactory, and she intends to continue with it. We were never sure what the future held for Alvah Willcox. According to Theodore, he will become a naturalist. This is not such a terrible surprise because, although not interested in “lemons,” he aiwavs did like to chase “butterflies.” Theodore claims that Louise Clarenbach also has a bright future ahead of her. Louise will walk the path of life with a lantern in her hand. Mildred Frost has no intention of becoming a newspaper re- porter. At least she says that such work would not suit her. In- stead, she will take a several years’ course in a nearby dramatic school and then go on the stage. She will become famous over night when she takes the leading role in a play entitled “Gossip.” We have no idea what Elsie Smith will do in the future, hut at present, like most great people, Elsie has a systematized way of doing things. She figures that if you get to school early you always have to wait until it begins. Her motto is, “If we all get to school early, what use would it be to have the 8:10 bell.” Being an authority on English, Arthur Moynihan intends to write a book. Art has always been very observing and he notices more than we think he does. Arthur, having much experience on such a theme, will call the volume, “Modern Girls as I Know Them.” We have it from reliable sources that Bertha Beman will be- come a newspaper correspondent for the Boston American. She will edit that well known column, “Advice to the Lovelorn.” Leon Levinson realizes he has great influence on the fair sex. He says he doesn't know why the girls like him, but he thinks it is because be passed out the music books to them all year. He will accept a position at Harvey’s Hairdressing Parlors, where lie will continue his good work. □ - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO - □ 100 □ = CLASS DAY = □ May Butterfield and Theresa Brassil are going into an uplift movement. They will travel to the South Sea Islands to investi- gate and reform tlie conditions they hear so much about in our popular songs. From now on the South Sea Islanders will have to dress mote warmly. As we expected, that daring dealer of derision, James Wood, will pursue an extensive course in art and literature at Yale. Also he intends to visit Home and Greece in order to comprehend the beauty of his chosen subjects. He is undecided whether he will visit Egypt and the Orient. Anyway, he will beat his passage home and open up a blacksmith shop on Fairfield Avenue. Eva Meckler has always been an advocate of law and order. Eva intends to conduct a nation-wide campaign defending prohibi- tion. She will travel the country giving lectures entitled, “Say it with moonshine, flowers will come later.” Francis Sullivan has entirely opposite convictions. He sternly condemns prohibition. “A man,” he says, “after a hard day's work, has a perfect right to a little stimulant.” Francis will have to eliminate the clause about work or we fear lie will have to abstain from the vice himself. George Fitzgerald, another famous authority on fables, myths, diplomatic parleys, and big words that no one else except Webster uses, will spend most of his time getting out of the troubles he is always getting into. We suggest that George read up on that little book of advice published by Mr. Conant called, “Too Much Wisdom and Not Enough Thought.” We are pretty sure that we have the future of Maude Baldwin straight. However, the best laid plans sometimes fail. Neverthe- less, it is rumored that she will accept a life position in the Clark School of Domestic Science. Dick Bail, the class mathematician, will devote his life to the welfare of the world. Dick will attack and vanquish many dark theories, but his greatest fame will come when he conquers that scientific problem, “From what height must a blueberry be dropped in order to break a shingle?” Billy Burns, one of the devilish young blades of the class, will become a great hero. William has always had a brave heart, ami he boasts that he fears no woman, lie expects to win the Congres- sional Medal of Honor and the Distinguished Service Badge for having the courage to go shopping in McAuslan Wakelin’s three times. Our class will have another great novelist. For years Charlie Shea has been gathering data for a book that he asserts will astonish humanity. Charles says he has done much research work in com- □ . -....— NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ • 101 □ ----- - CLASS DAY - piling this book. He will call it, “Thirteen Different Ways to Make Love.” Mary Martin has decided to travel. She has not yet decided where to travel, but some day, if times become more peaceful in Europe and the transportation rates come down, Mary intends to visit cousins in Worcester. Realizing the advantage of such an institution and being a great man for business, Louis Berman will open a one-arm lunch on Main Street, known as “Berman’s Beanery.” Marie Driscoll will attend the Boston School of Domestic Science. Upon the completion of the course she will return home and succeed Miss Boland. Marie claims she will improve the present met hot! of making biscuits by using scrap iron instead of lead. Whether it causes surprise or not, it is a fact that Florence Merrill will lose faith in all mankind. Already she is composing a lament entitled, “I’m Always Picking Lemons in the Garden of Love.” However, if we give Florence enough room she will come around and most likely when she is thirty she will be taking orders from the man of the house and making over her last year’s hats like the rest of the girls. We are not sure what path of life Amy Lee will take except that is will be the straight and narrow. Amy is undecided whether to write a book or get married. We leave that problem for time to solve, but we feel sure that if Amy initiates a few im- provements in her present methods, she may be able to do both. Ed Glesmann has a strange conception of music, so it is not a great surprise to find that he will become a great composer. He will ignore all precedent and devote his time to the production of a pretty ballad entitled, “It isn’t often that I give a quarter for a cigar, but when I do I always get twenty cents change.” Ed Jones is preparing for a heavy course in philosophy. He intends to devote much time to the subject and upon his return will assist Mr. Whalen in convincing pupils that the best way to break up a cold is to go swimming in the school tank. We have many people in our class who will some day be famous. In the years to come Milton Bearg will be in terrific com- petition with the U. S. Mint trying to see who can make the most money. Gordon Poison will consider running for President. This pow- erful preacher of progression has always been very handy at recit- ing proclamations and Peace Conference reports, so he feels pre- pared. While he is considering these things Gordon must be careful not to waste the time he should be spending at his shoeshine parlor. Margaret Shea won’t bother hitching her wagon to a star, but instead use the sky as a limt. Her ambition is no other than to □ ■ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO —........... 102 □ □ CLASS DAY----------- : become president of one of our local Tuesday Afternoon Clubs. Such a position requires tremendous loquacious ability and also a perfect knowledge of all deaths, marriages, scandals, family quar- rels, and bridge whist rules, so Margaret intends to attend regularly the teachers’ convention and Board of Aldermen meetings. Etheldreda Reynolds intends to take one of those correspon- dence courses advertised as “How to Train the Mind,” or “How I Could Double My Present Salary.” Ethel figures she would not be a bit ahead if she doubled her present salary, having heard the faculty convince us for the last four years that we were all hope- lessly dumb she has decided to be an exception. Allan Synder and Bert King are going to set up a newspaper in Granby. We have an idea that these gentlemen will succeed because of wide and varied experience they have had in publish- ing that famous journal, the “School Scandal,” better known as the “Daily Line.” Ozita Bourque will enter politics. Her greatest aim will be to become the first Lady Mayor of Holyoke. Ozita says that she will run on a back-to-nature platform, claiming that the girls should have the right to decide what they will wear. Thomas Flaherty disagrees with the U. S. method of running a navy, therefore he will start a navy of his own. He will then sail around the world in grand style and in spite of prohibition will specialize in sinking schooners. We have it straight from our famous artist of exaggeration, Jay Merriman, that he will accept a responsible position as door- keeper of the girls’ gymnasium. I was talking with Jay the other day and he said he would take the positon merely as a matter of form. As far as we can learn, Henry Connolly is going to continue in the future the work he has done in the past and therefore ex- pects to have plenty of time on his hands. Still, Henry wishes to assist mankind as much as possible so he will do his best to keep out of people's way. Some people have a high idea of public service and Ben Gordon is one of them. In the future Benjamin will do his best to locate all goldbrick and bucket shops in the state and pro- vided his money holds out we have no doubt but that before he is through he will have a fairly good idea where the most of them are. The world will owe a lot to this brilliant class but especially it will herald Thomas Conway. About 1950 the leading publishers of the country will issue the “Complete Works of Conway,” in an interesting five-page pamphlet, which can be obtained at all book- stores. A thing of great importance in these works will be the □ ===== NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 103 □ □ ....... = CLASS DAY 1 magnificent full-page illustration of the base violin Thomas worked over in the school orchestra. Having ntohing else to do. Edgar Maggi has decided to leave for Central Africa as a walking delegate of the Amalgamated Brotherhood of I)og Catchers. Edgar is troubled by reports lie has received lately, so he intends to investigate the rumor that some of the dogs over there are not licensed. A few months will see the birth of a new syndicate in Hol- yoke. Already Anna Freeman and Cecelia Walkoff have entered negotiations with the Water Department as to the removal of all deceased substances which at present are believed to exist in Ash- ley Ponds. A career as an air pilot is prophesied for Archibald Hunter. Archie always was a high flyer, so this is not entirely a surprise. Isabelle Ryan is at present raising the capital to finance a great project she plans to attempt. This is no other than a groat athletic factory which she intends to build near the High School. After studying the average High School pupils and especially the Juniors, she feels that the supply of raw material available for dumbbells, mallet-heads, etc., is unlimited. Prophecy II. Helen Shine. Edward Beauchamp’s name will ap- pear in the press when he takes leave for Africa, South America, etc., where he will devote his time to hunting up mahogany antiques for parties. For fuller information on the subject, ask “Eddie.” Much to our surprise Walter Friberg will not become a bookkeeper as we all expected. Walter will travel with Ring- ling Brothers’ Circus in the capacity of a tight rope walker. His unique knowledge of balancing, obtained in the commercial department, aids him greatly in his work. After graduating from High School, Rose Bligh will become a saleslady. Rose is sure to be a hearty booster for the popular so- called “Kallock Brand Coni Flakes.” □ ■ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 1 □ 104 □ CLASS DAY □ Rosanna Turcotte’s voice will win her fame and a large fortune. For, in future years, Rosanna will star in the revival of George M. Cohan’s musical comedy, “The O’Brien Girl.” Needless to say, Evelyn Goss will be a noted dancing instructor. She will have many huge classes, for Evelyn will positively guar- antee to do away with awkwardness and will give especial atten- tion to high school students. A capacity business is assured. Nora Cain will not continue to sell leather goods at one of the local department stores hut will develop into a full-fledged social reporter for a society weekly. Nora has always evinced great interest in this line of work. We wish to warn Nora of the perils of reporting the wild social life of a great city like Ilolyoke. Una Chabot is going to be a lady of leisure. Her winters will be passed at Palm Beach and her summers at-------. Perhaps Una would rather tell where she spends her summer nights. Sadie Gamzue will follow in the footsteps of her illustrious brethren. She is going to attain fame at M. A. (’. Maybe brother's friend had something to do with influencing Sadie in her choice of an instituton of higher learning. Marian Baush will demonstrate Mellin’s Food at their San Francisco establishment. Marian always was an exceptionally good demonstrator. We have no fear for her success. Charles Muir is destined to assume the position of assistant to one of our local photographers. Charlie will draw an enormous salary. Ilis task will be to persuade the babies to smile while being snapped. Eleanor Lyons and Lillian Fitzgerald are to train as nurses at the City Hospital. We are suie that they will be great favorites among the patients because of their sweet dispositions. The hospi- tal can be certain of a large High School patronage. Frances Leary in future years will be known as one of the world’s greatest mind readers. “Fran” gained her knowledge while employed in the men’s department at one of our largest stores, assisting the men shoppers to decide just what they wanted. Mary Ahern will become the manager of the General Electric Company. Mary will directly supervise the manufacture of electric light bulbs, made from her old flames. Fate has decreed that Rene Barger is to be a great historian. Rene’s most learned and widely read treatise will be “The History of the Klines.” Edith McCabe is assured the honor of being one of the first women appointees to the Holyoke Police force. Without doubt she will assume the duties of a traffic “cop.” Because she can be seen from a long way off, she will be a valuable acquisition to the department. □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO - □ 105 — - - CLASS DAY ' John Kilkelly will never be found waiting at the “Church.” He carries his around with him. It's an armful, but John is a firm believer in safety first. Bertha Chretien will open a school for the benefit of those who do not know how to go about Sunday night affairs. She’ll fix it so that they will have reserved seats for the rest of the Sunday nights of their lives. Just follow her methods, that’s all that’s necessary. Anna Kennedy will become one of Holyoke’s leading hair- dressers. Anna, being well read in this line, will attain great success. Rhoda Preiss will follow the path of a great authoress. She will join the ranks of those who are combating the present exorbi- tant cost of living. Rhoda’s extensive knowledge of “prices” will be a valuable asset in her work. Now that women have the vote and are entering all fields of work, we are not surprised to find Lillian Bresnahan a successful architect. Her early study of “flats” has helped her greatly in her vocation. The completion of the “Prince Edward Apartment” will be her crowning achievement. Jennie Carlinsky will be the only woman making her living from the race track. She will make the Buick car famous. Jennie’s favorite track is around the reservoir. Much to our surprise Mary Shea will not become a florist. After completing her four years at Amherst Aggie, “Pink” will open a dye shop in South Bend, Indiana. “Pink’s” association with a “Dyer” in her younger days ought to prove highly inspira- tional in her work. Alice Burkhardt in future years will become a world famed fire-eater. This seems highly improbable because Alice never opened her mouth while in school. Ruth Batchelor will be an artist’s model. She will pose for ads. of Blaud’s Iron Pills. Upon release of these ads. business for the pill company will receive a great boom. Rose Ross will accept a position in our principal’s office. Rose’s familiarity with the office, due to her frequent visits there, will prove a valuable asset. Dora Smith, as we all expected, will not answer the call of the silver screen. Dora will open a school for the deaf and dumb. This will suit Dora to a “ T ” as she will be the only one who can talk Upon graduating from a higher institution of learning, Bessie Saltzman will become a teacher of languages in Holyoke High. Henri Mondor will return in a few years to relieve Mr. Tripp of his position. Henri’s knowledge of certain subjects far outstrips that of the instructor. - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 106 □ = CLASS DAY = Sadie Gordon is to be a great orator. She will gain fame when she persuades High School students’ parents that bobbed hair is the coining style. One look at Sadie and the parents will agree. Alack and alas! Much to our surprise, Rose Wiener will be- come a choms girl. You ought to see her do aesthetic dancing. Rose will make a fortune at it. Alice Sullivan will take the place of Beatrice Fairfax. Bring all your trouble to her, boys. Alice guarantees balm for sore hearts. Otto Felsentreger will not, as we expected, become a cometist in Sousa’s Band, but will heed the call of the footlights. He will become a popular singer in musical comedies. Otto’s favorite song will be, “Chasing Rainbows.” Eva Le Poer will go on a lecture tour for a correspondence school. Eva intends to devote much of her time to teaching the theory of “noise.” She will lecture on “How to Play a Piano in Ten Minutes.” Eva upholds that she learned to play like that and we believe her. The name of Jennie Stalker is destined to be flashed on the “Great White Way.” She promises that she will send us all auto- graphed photographs. Jennie will dramatize such subjects as: “The Thrills of Life” and “The Wild Woman.” John O’Brien will not, as first expected, become a chicken fancier. He will retire to a solitary country life where he can devote all his time talking to, and about himself. Where will we find Elizabeth Dillon but in a religious order dressed in the vestments of a nun ! Do not be surprised for “Bess’s” sweet disposition is suited for her life work. Ferdinand Dueharme is going to be an inventor. “Duke” is going to invent an instrument, called the radiograph, for pupils to sign the eight o’clock list without getting out of bed. Frank Dyer’s career w'ill be that of a steeple-jack. He will prove very efficient at this trade due to the practice he obtained during his High School days (climbing poles). □------------ = NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 107 □ CLASS DAY □ Prophecy III. Ott Felsentreger. YV7 HOM shall v see seated in the window of one of the loeal stores Hbut Thomas Ashe. “Tommy” will be demonstrating insect powder. He will do this only for publicity, because in .veal’s following he will run for president of the exterminators’ union. A wonderful future lies before Er- nest Gabler. “Doe” will do great work in the building of a trans-Atlantic bridge. It may lx well to know that “Doc” will be head foreman of hod “Carriers.” Fred Ellert is destined to become an inventor. Fred will en- deavor to make wireless inventions, hut we grieve to say that many of them will be failures. .Just before he retires he will invent the wireless hairpin. When Ed. Brooks leaves High School, he will go to some Western college, where he will take a course in oratory. Upon the completion of his course he will accept a position with Hamum Bailey’s Circus as a barker at a hot-dog stand. Edith Maslen will have an opportunity to join “Hubert’s” Revue. Xo doubt Edith will accept this offer because her heart lias always been aching (Aiken’) for this opportunity. .John Thompson will become one of the world’s greatest artists. We all know .John will be successful because he always was good at drawing his breath before making a spectacular plunge into our “bath tub.” Rama Green will be employed by the School Department as the school garden inspector. Rama will be “green” at this work at first, but as time goes on, he will find it nothing but a pleasure and an easy way to make a living. Billy Sickman certainly will not miss bis vocation after he leaves school. Billy will be employed as exchange editor for tlie Belehertown “Police Gazette.” Leland Clarke will become a vegetable peddler. You will often hear Leland calling out during the apple season: “Apples! Nice bald wins (Baldwin), get them while they’re young.” □ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO == [ 108 □ — CLASS DAY = □ As we expected, Marion Hamel will go abroad where she will study music. Marion will return to Holyoke, after she has absorbed a thorough knowledge of music, and open a vocal studio. It will not be long before Marion finds the key to some man's heart. Everything comes to him who waits, so no doubt Alphonse Wilhelm will receive his reward when he becomes the holder of a responsible position. Alphonse will have complete charge of the furnace at tin Hadley Falls Trust Company. Just as soon as Ray Osborne leaves High School lie will go out in search of twenty-two’s lost chord. Ray will be unsuccessful but to our surprise will receive much money from the mathe- matics department when he finds the lowest common multiple. John Davis will go abroad as a relief worker. John will do some wonderful work in Russia, which will be distributing pretzels among the Bolsheviks. We cannot help but think that ‘“Bill'' Johnson will become a business man. ‘“Hill'’ will open an ice-cream store in the middle of the Sahara desert. “Bill” will be dissatisfied with this line of business so he will go up to the Arctic region as a salesman, where he will attempt to sell straw hats with earlaps to the Eskimos. Isadore Baskin will become John 1). Rockefeller's treasurer, when he will have an opportunity to handle much gold (“Gold”). This sort of a job appeals to Isadore because1 of his love for gold. Amelia Iletzler will open hairdressing parlors. Amelia will become renowned for her perfection of tin “Freddie’’ wig, blonde oidy, most perfect imitation of one’s natural hair. Whom shall we see, now and then, but Edward Reilly, pushing around a popcorn stand. For financial reasons “Ed” will give up this business and receive a job as a paperhanger. “Ed will hang to this for the remainder of his life. Franklin Morris will become Holyoke’s noted scissor grinder and umbrella repairer. Frank will not make a success of this because he never was a grind, but he will make great success as a plumber, because of his vast knowledge of “pipes.” Reginald Odabashian will become a salesman for some elevator corporation. “Reggie” will cover that district in South America where earthquakes occur so frequently that the people construct their buildings only two stories high. A very bright future is before Sarah Bernstein. No doubt, we all did feel that there was something big in store for Sarah. She will advertise herself as the greatest aesthetic dancer in the world. “Peg ’ O’Connell will be a clerk in the five and ten-cent store. “Peg” will be the clerk at the rattle counter. This will give her much opportunity to sell rattles. — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ... □ 109 □ = CLASS DAY ' - □ We always did wonder why Helen Shine spent so much time over at “Roy’s”. Ted states that Helen will be employed by “Roy” as a song writer. Her first successful song will be, “Oh! the Boys! Boys! Boys! ’ ’ Evelyn Buckley will open a sweet shop, where she will manu- facture a special variety of candy called “Arguments.” She will advertise this candy as “Arguments, by Evelyn Buckley.” In future years we shall know Christine Burgess as the dean of the International Correspondence School. We may all have an opportunity to see Christine at the graduating exercises of this school at our local post office. We have no doubt about Catherine Millane’s future. As we all expected, Catherine will go abroad and study all the stringed instruments. She will return to this country after obtaining all the knowledge possible, wheie she will open a shoe string factory. Eli Stein is destined to become a business man. We all ex- pected Eli would become a shoe manufacturer, and surely he will. Eli will also have another side line which will be buying up all the banana peels he possibly can get. Eli says that they make good “slippers.” Blanche Gold will go to Spain, where she will increase her present Spanish vocabulary. Then she will return to this country as a member of the Holyoke High School faculty. Blanche will teach Spanish and will use a new type of book written by “Laskin.” Eileen Donoghue will become a real estate agent. Eileen will devote most of her time to selling public buildings to gentlemen who chew’ straw to think of home. Dorothy Scheibel, after attending several of the leading schools of the country, will return to her old Alma Mater, where she will teach “How to Ride Comfortably in a Cadillac Car.” Marjorie Chase w’ill enter the realm of the silent drama. Mar- jorie has always felt the calling of this vocation. She will have great success in the play, entitled “The Modern Vamp.” When Irene Lawrence leaves school she is going to enter one of our local hospitals, where she will train for a nurse. No doubt that song entitled “I Don’t Want to Get Well” will become very popular among the hospital patients. We cannot help but think that Rosamond Read will go on the stage, because of the talent she possesses. “Ross” will play the leading role in the musical comedy called “Billy.” From Ted’s broad knowledge of the gentle art of boxing, he feels confident to prophecy that Meyer Zimmerman will become a favorite sparring partner for Mr. J. Dempsey. The hard knocks that □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO □ 110 □ □ - CLASS DAY I “Zimmy” lias received after he graduated to long jeans has given him fine practice for his future vocation. We never expected James Astlev to return to Ilolyoke High after graduation, but in future years Jim is destined to come back and grace our lecture course. Jimmy’s ideal will be to put an erring world right and especially the Holyoke High School. He has wisely chosen his topic, “The Trouble with the Modern Girl,” and “Why We Should Abolish Jazz.” Prophecy IV. Isabelle Ryan. T T ELEN LUCE, we expect, will win A A fame and fortune (mostly fame) in the literary world. Helen thinks that present learning does not cover enough ground. Therefore, “Tite” intends to revise a certain work and edit a much more complete volume entitled, “Hoys I Have Loved,” or “The Science of As- tronomy. ’ ’ Edna McDonald, upon receiving many flattering proposals, will leave Holyoke in her endeavor to escape her many suit- ors and take refuge in the Lawrence Woods. James B. Shea, after graduating from Holyoke High, will take up residence in Lynn, Mass. After a fewr years, Jimmy will be brought to account for heart-breaking and will be given a life sen- tence by Judge “Alma” of the Lynn (Lin) court. Alice Brockway will go into business for one of the largest firms in the country. She will become a farmer and specialize in raising pigs. Alice will furnish the pork for “Synder’s” pork and beans. Rose Barowsky will become a well known authoress. Two of her best books will be, “The Commerce Prom,” and “Why Spring- field Appeals to Me.” Viola Woods is to follow in Miss Fay’s footsteps. “Vi” will leave Holyoke to become the “Dean” of Fordham Academy. Lillian Farr will be a second Sherlock Holmes. “Lill’s” voice will be of great service to her in this occupation. She will use it to help the future Seniors find the “Lost Chord.” □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 1 □ 111 □ □ CLASS DAY : Charles Forest, who always was a cut-up, will become the best patronized barber in Holyoke. “Chick’s” success will be due to his motto, which is, “A close shave makes the heart grow fonder.” One of our classmates is destined to be heard from in the lit erarv line. Doris Shaw will become a poetess. “Da-da’s” favorite will be: I chatter, chatter as 1 go For I am very clever. Men may come, and men may go, Hut I rave on forever. Bertha Burnett will take a position with the “Marslen” Elec- trical Company. By diligent work, “Bert” will soon become the company part of the firm. At least. Jack thinks she is good company. Lucienne Carreau will become a manufacturer of parasols. “Lu” will guarantee that her product will keep all but one “son” away. Ida Hotly will give up her position in the mercantile agency because the lure of the ballroom will be too great. Ida will open a dance hall in Hadley Acres, where she will do a rushing business. Sophia Dubiel, contrary to our expectations, will join the ranks of a musical comedy. “Sophy” will make a great sensation when she sings that old time favorite, “Oh, Hal, why don’t you answer me!” Upon graduating from Cornell, Houston Phelps will become a great electrician. After years of faithful study, “Housty” will decide that the light on the Statue of Liberty should be put out. He believes that “the less light the more liberty.” We never thought it would come to this, Houston ! Alma Lincourt will settle down in “James -town to become an inventor. But all “Al’s” invention will be is a modern reproduc- tion of the “one-hoss ‘Shea’.” A large needle factory will be erected in Holyoke with Beatrice Todd as president. “Bee” will invent an improved needle’s eye. It is “needless” to say that “Bee” was always good at making eyes. Laura Nimmo will become a traveling saleswoman. Laura will travel far and near proclaiming the wonders of “Scott’s” Emul- sion. Laura was always an admirer of “Scott's.” Amy Foster will be hailed as the Village Blacksmith of Indian Orchard. Even in High School days Amy liked to be near a certa in “Forgue.” By a queer twist of fate, Marie Simes will not become an artist, but will go out West and be a cowgirl. With a faithful lasso. Marie will set out to capture a “Lyon.” □ - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO : □ 112 - CLASS DAY - Bessie Lambert will settle down in “Sydney,” Australia. She will become a well-known gambler. Bessie will, on one ticket, suc- ceed in winning a “Cole” man. After leaving II. II. S., Franklin Synder will continue the good work he has already begun at the Holyoke Canoe Club. When the shades of eve are falling And the sunset’s fires aglow, Tenderly he sways before you, And in accents sweet and low, To you puts the fateful question, Wafted on the summer breeze, Asks again who doubts his meaning, Chocolate or vanilla, please? Much to our surprise, we shall learn that one of our members will take up lecturing. Mary Tormey will tour the country, giving talks on “How, Why and When to Study.” Benefit by her lectures, girls, because Mary knows! The week of February 29, 1929, will be the greatest in the his- tory of the Strand Theatre. Marion Riley will head the vaudeville with her world-renowned dances. Isabelle Clayton will be known as the world's greatest natural- ist. After a careful study of flowers, Isabelle will come to the decision that the sweet “William” is the most beautiful of all. Elanor Davis will become a farmerette in Belchertown. Elanor will be a great success on the farm, for with her winning way she will be able to coax vegetables right out of the ground. John Begley will be a specialist. He will graduate with honors from thiee of our highest colleges. John will specialize in three things: Girls, Girls and G-i-r-l-s! In the near future the headlines in the Transcript will.be; “Ida Boulais arrested for exceeding the speed limit.” However, this is not wholly unexpected, as we always knew from the way Ida operated a typewriter that some day she would be held up for speeding. Rosina Whiting will be Holyoke’s first woman chief of police. As “Ena” is too kind-hearted to arrest many criminals, good order will not be kept. Besides this the court will be overflowing with boys who wish to be entertained while their parents are being looked up. Hazel Doyle will take a special course in art in Paris. On her return she will draw cartoons for—Who? Ah, just Oscar. (Ask her!) Clara Hering will organize a Life Saving Corps which will be stationed at Hampton Ponds. There Clara will continue her good work of saving the careless boys who accidentally fall in the water. NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ----- 113 □ — ■ = CLASS DAY - George Larson and Esther Davis will run a dairy lunch on the Highlands. Esther will be the cook and Georgie the waiter. They will do a rushing business because George can’t wait until lie gets Esther’s cooking. Grace Brown will be a great traveler. She will circumnavigate the world, but even then she will be dissatisfied. If you ask her the reason she will “Si” (sigh) and say, “I want to Seymour (see more).” In 1935 Mildred Gillette’s name will appear on the Northamp- ton High School Lecture Course. Mildred's subject will be, “The Wonders and Beauties of ‘Art’.” A big subject, Mildred! Can you handle it? Isabelle Young will edit a special column for the Herald on ‘‘Ways of True Love.” Isabelle owes her knowledge of this subject to the fact that “Practice makes perfect.” Gerald St. Marie will enter the grocery business. Every recess we may see him selling doughnuts to the Freshmen and hear him jell, 1 eiambulate to the immediate proximity of this dispensary of the sustenance of the human body.” Mary Mahoney will be one of the first to answer a call for volunteer teachers and instructors for our public playgrounds. Teaching folk dances to eager groups of children will be Mary’s delight. Millicent Allyn will be the first one in our class who will hear the sweet chimes of wedding bells. But this is not surprising for “Milly” is going to Framingham to learn how to cook and find the way to her “hubby’s” heart. Dorothy Williams will become a member of the Supreme Court of the United States. She will be noted for her Solomon-like wis- dom. One of her famous decisions will be that women are in every respect the equal of man, and therefore it is perfectly legal and proper for them to smoke or drink. Alfred Cook will become a very successful business man. Cookie will use the knowledge which he gained in his salesman- ship class and become the traveling salesman for the 5 and 10 cent store. □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 114 ] —= CLASS DAY □ Jfanwll AfofUTBH James Astley tt A L the world’s a stage where every man must play his part, and mine’s a sad one.” The words of Antonio seemingly fit my share in to-day’s ex- ercises, namely, the serious and sacred duty of bidding you all farewell. Four years ago, life seemed to us a straight and easy path. It was then our ambition to get through High School as soon as possible, so that we could take our places in the great struggle for supremacy in the work of the world. Now that the time has arrived, there is not one of us who feels enthusiastic about parting from our Alma Mater. But the world cannot stop, we must press on, and the assurance that we are better prepared for life’s great task than we were four years ago is our consolation in taking leave. Before departing, we desire to say a few words to the under- graduates. Freshmen: A year has passed since you first entered the portals of this school. Your step has become sure and surer as the days have passed, yet, you have hardly begun to meet the heavy responsibilities of school life; however you must assume your share. The success of the Assembly and Reading Club are dependent upon you. It is your duty to fill them with such life and power that they cannot be failures. You must try for the athletic teams, doing all you can to make them successful. But, above all. look to your studies, for as the future citizens of Holyoke, you will be responsible for its welfare. Sophomores; In you, we are most interested. You. our sister class. We shall watch with much concern your career at Holyoke High. Most of you entered as Junior High pupils, so one year has been cut from your all too short life as students in this school; so real advice to you is necessary. Do not be content with having a fair record, but, on the contrary, endeavor to stand supreme. As upper classmen you will be called upon to support the various school activities. Subscribe to the Herald, and do your utmost □ — NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO — □ 115 □ □ CLASS DAY = to raise it to even a higher standard than it has attained in previous years. And last—be courteous to your teachers, for we know that their interest in you is never failing. Juniors: As a class, you are about to take the helm, to pilot for all school affairs. You will be looked up to by under classmen who will model themselves after you. Choose your committees with due consideration, also put competent leaders at the head of your organizations. In athletics, you will be expected to furnish material for most of the teams, and to bear the brunt in the support of all branches of sport. Do this with but one thought in mind— that you strive for your class and Alma Mater. Mr. Conant: You have been as a father to us. You have watched us emerge from the frivolous Freshmen to the dignified Seniors, and just as we were to complete our careers as students of Holyoke High School, the uncalculating hand of fate has played her part. Words are but trifles when we try to express how we have missed you during our last term. You may feel assured that we have tried to conduct ourselves in such a manner that you may feel proud of your teachings. We sincerely hope that the days will be few before you will have recovered the health and strength that is naturally yours. The Class of 1922 bids you farewell. Teachers: Many times have we balked at the tasks that you have put before us, little realizing that you were laboring with but one idea in view—to make us better men and women. It is through your untiring efforts that the standard of the Class of 1922 has been raised to one of the highest. You have prepared us for the grave problems that we must attack. Our farewell thought for you is one of gratitude, and for ourselves the desire that as the years roll by, we shall still measure up to your expectations. Classmates: We, as a class, have been four years in the making, yet we shall meet but once more before being thrown into the great maelstrom of human souls. How the time has flown! It seems but yesterday that we first entered this hall, and now we must depart, each upon his separate path. Never again shall we be participants in the school’s entertainments. No more may we represent her in the athletic field; no more may we have the great feeling of joy that comes with victory. We must now be content to be observers and advisers. As we enter our different walks of life, let us resolve to strive unceasingly to reach the goal that here in school has been our ambition, and then be a beacon to those who follow. So now, with the feeling of deepest regret the Class of 1922 bids mother High School, and all her good family —a fond farewell. □ ■ NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ..... 116 □ CLASS DAY □ □ Class Calars □ CLASS DAY CEUihb John T.

Long the hours spent in the making Of this courser of the deep. Great the skillful preparation For the trophies she must reap. In her hull went sturdy cedar, Chopped and sawed in forest tract. This was fitst well trued and shapen, Calling forth the greatest tact. Soon the sails were all adjusted To the masts of stately pine; And the interwoven rigging Was inspected, line by line. Now this gallant coronation Of much effort, skill, and brawn, Is to start her maiden voyage At the breaking of the dawn. Her pathway is beset with perils; Reefs and rocks, and stormy seas. These must all be passed in safety, While the sails swell with the breeze. We this great ship are, oh, classmates, Which our teachers built and blest; Let ns strive to be the pride of those Who sent us on our quest. = NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO ---------------- 118 □ CLASS DAY □ - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 119 □ CLASS DAY nflt Honor . tvctybodj� □ - NINETEEN TWENTY-TWO 120 CLASS DAY Amori ( PT«J«r.-t.

IVES, Vice-Pres. THOMAS A. JUDGE. Cashier ”The First Is Character” From the newspapers and certain magazine articles of the day, one could easily believe that in the business world, money is everything—the one essential for success. But such is not the case. The late J. P. Morgan once made a statement which is as true to-day as when it was uttered. He said: • “Commercial credits are based on the possession of money or property, or character. THE FIRST IS CHARACTER.” He continued. “A man I do not trust could not get money from me on all the bonds in Christendom. “I know lots of men who can borrow any amount because people believe in them. I myself have given a man a check for $1,000,000 when I knew he hadn't a cent in the world.” Money IS powerful, but good character is worth more; and good character AND money will take one almost anywhere.
