This natural, perennial and human procedure, strangely enough, alarms the older generation in about the same degree as it awakens the younger. Those who would advise youth, too often see only the Hstopn signal. The go , if it Hashes at all, is in the Hcautioni' color. They speak in terms of brakes,- not of eighty horse-power, unless it applies to reverse. Now you can't start a trip and hope to arrive unless you do obey the signals, understand when to quit, and even when to beat a retreat. One thing is certain also:- You can never reach the goal unless you move forward, but the journey,s end is not always so certain when speed, short cuts and poor preparation are the chief means. Through enthusiasm and vision youth tramples over custom and tradition. They build on the ruins magnificent structures which in turn their successors destroy only to create greater and finer things. VVe believe that our world is grow- ing better, and if this is true, it must be through those Who from decade to decade become the active force in civilizationis advancement. Boys and girls of the Class of 1927-I would not if I could, change your natural independence, your freedom of will, your egoism of youth. lyfy hope and prayer is that you may use this freedom, this independence, this egoism in success- fully undertaking the great responsibilities put upon you in the magnificent op- portunities that await you just a few steps beyond. Play, Work, rest. Klay your play bring you pleasure, your work bring you genuine returns, and your rest contentment. Prepare the Way for the next equally incomprehensible crowd of insistent youth already knocking at the door. Faithfully yours, Draw!- Slf 46 3 45 ifiiiliiliiilifliifiiiiiiiiifliiiibiiiiiiiidlr l16lI QBSBSEQEQEQIZSSESPQESESPSBSESSPSBSPSP gg, JR by '45 Q Qur Class Q 5? '45 Qi- '49 421 4?

Merrick, Treasurer, Charlotte F. Gould, Faculty Advisor, Lillian W. Fay. The Q Club is an organization open to all Senior and Junior girls. Its purpose is to entertain the girls, to acquaint them with problems of interest, and, at the same time, to be of service to the School. In 1900, the year the club was founded by lX4iss Fay, the present Faculty Advisor, the enrollment was 56. Under the able leadership of Faith Kelton, President, the club fiourished. This year the club had an enrollment of 228 girls. All of the girls have looked forward with eager anticipation to each of the eight meetings and the programs have been received with enthusiasm. At the October meeting the new members were initiated, a Junior from each section being chosen to respond to the greeting of the Seniors. As a result of an address at the Thanksgiving meeting, the girls contributed five dollars to the Community Chest to be used for the Children's Aid. The Christmas Spirit, characteristic of the Club, was very evident at the December meeting, when a beautifully lighted Christmas tree and the recital of Dickens Christmas Carol, of Tl1e 1XTagi, and other appropriate selections called forth hearty applause At the January meeting a group of girls presented the old legend, The Sleeping Beautyf,and1nuchlnddentakntinthedranmtklhuzwasdkckmed None of us will cvcr forget the hfarch meeting at which twelve girls impersona- ted the members of the flrst Q Club. VVith Gretchen Yoerg representing the first President, they presented a complete meeting held in hfarch 1900, from the reading of the minutes to the vote for adjournment. The costumes of the Founders seemed very amusing in contrast to the short dresses of our day. On April eighth, when the Q Club had charge of the Auditorium exercises, Dr. lXIabelle B. Blake, Personnel Director at Smith College, gave an inspiring talk on courses of study adapted to the characteristics of cach pupil. As a climax to all the meetings ofthe year,in hfay came the Children's Party in the Gymnasium. Hither wended two hundred little girls with gay sashes and ribbons, all ready for the annual frolic. The club awarded last year two twenty-five dollar scholarships, one to a mem- ber of the club who is now at VVestfieldg the other to aSmith College Freshman. This year the club offers two scholarships of twenty-five dollars each to be awarded by the majority vote of the ofiicers and the directors of the club. A five dollar gold piece is also offered to the Q Club Senior girl who has done the most for the school, to be awarded by vote of the entire Faculty. s Florence Merrick, '27, Sefrfiary. 5 46 N 45 'WI ii iii il? if if ilk if if iii if if ill? di if 28? if if ll69ll SBRPSPSESPSPSFSSIZSPSPSIZSBQB512592525292 5? 46 'SV' 46 iliiiiiiiilfiliiiidiilbiiiiilidi S 70 QESBSPSSESESESPSBKPSPSBSFSPSESPSXE sr 49 or 4?

As in past years the Phi Alpha was the first of the many school organizations to meet and prepare its programs for the coming year. At the first meeting it was evident that the coming year would be as successful as any previous one. There was an abundance of enthusiasm displayed by all the members and conse- quently the following meetings were instructive, enjoyable, and amusing. As the Phi Alpha is primarily a debating society the programs consisted mainly of debates on current events and talks on the planning of our future work. A debate was presented before the school, on one occasion, by the members of the Phi Alpha with decided success. Enough thanks cannot be bestowed upon Mr. lNfIcDonald, Faculty Director of the Phi Alpha, for the willing help that he has given us and the interest he has shown in the promotion of our programs.

It has carried out the ideas of previous years and improved upon some. The Council started off the year with a 'gget acquain- ted gathering, known as the Big Brother and Sister Partyf, This plan of getting acquainted was suggested and carried out by last yearls Council. The traflic system, under the able direction of Eugene Zielinski, has been changed to the rotary system of one way traffic and has proved a great success. The Service Committee has been of valuable assistance to the school, a member of the com- mittee being on duty each period of the school day. Notices have been placed on the office sheet daily. Clarice McGowan, as commissioner of Public Welfare, has marked section rooms on appearance. The Council has also had charge of select- ing inspiring mottoes and statements of prominent men and putting them on the section blackboards. Prizes have been awarded by the Council for the solution of problems and discipline. Our Student Council was represented by John Falvey, Edward Bayon, Alice Lucey, and lyliss A. lXfT. Laporte, at the VVorcester State Convention, February 22, from which new suggestions were brought which will later bear fruit. The particular bright spot in the Student Council of this year were the Honor Study and Friday Auditoriums. The Honor Study, which at one time consisted of small groups studying in insignificant rooms, has been changed to the largest and most important study room of the entire school, section 53, put.ting on honor over one hundred students. The Friday Auditoriums have been remarkable in that they have been an uplift, and inspiration, and of cultural value to the school at large. This year the Council had the great pleasure of welcoming the principal, lWr. Conant, as a Council member, for the first time in the history of the Student Government. His presence kept the Council in a state of constant, incessant Vigilance throughout the year and made the members see more clearly their great responsibility. But the Council owed much of its accomplishments to lvliss A. NI. Laporte, faculty advisor. To Nliss Laporte's earnest, untiring effort the Council is indebted for every change of real value which it has effected. A suggestion, here, to the incoming classes may not be amiss. Let your choice in the coming elections be very carefully made as the student government depends upon the sound thinking of its members. Alice B. Kennedy, Secretary.

After a successful year, the Music Club under the capable supervision of Miss Laporte was reorganized in january, and has just completed another most successful term. The real purpose of this club is to create in our school a greater appreciation and fuller understanding of music. lXffr. Knight, our capable and genial president, is a talented 'cellist and pianist. To lX'1iss Lebovitz's untiring effort, we owe much of our success. She is a wonderful pianist, and is also progressing as an organist. As class musician, she resumed her duty in a most faithful manner. She played the marches, and assisted lNfr. Craig for the auditorium exercises. She was the director of the musical part of the program of the Senior class play, and also assisted at rehearsals of the operetta sponsored by the hfusic Club. Our treasurer, Hyman Kitover, is a gifted violinist. The hfusic Club meetings this year have included programs by the music talent of the school: Hyman Kitover, violinist, Edmund Horn, a genius at the piano, Mr. Knight, 'cellistg lN'Iiss l.ebovit.z, pianist, and lyfiss Shea, a member of the faculty, a fine vocalist, who was accompanied on the piano by the ever-faithful lXTiss Laporte. The real work of the club this term has consisted of two things: creating an ap- preciation of the best in music, and raising the money to pay off the piano debt. This was accomplished by presenting before the populace on the afternoon and evening of April 20, The Captain of Plymouth, a comic opera in three acts. Under the skillful direction of lyfr. Kingsley, and a cast of supertalented members, this performance was a success. Bliss Vera lynch, Vivilliam Brady, and john Karpowicz took the leading parts. To hir. Fred Grady, leader of the Holyoke High School Orchestra, who assisted Mr. Kingsley, does the Music Club, in a large part, owe its success. The lylusic Club has every year brought talent to the school so that the school might share in a common opportunity of hearing good music. Besides our local talent, the school had the pleasure of hearing the Little Sym- phony Orchestra under the direction of Mr. Budd. This orchestra played the following numbers: The Limited Express,', The Blue Danube VValtz, HN'I1:lI'Cl1 lWilitaire, and three dances from Henry VIH. lt was an entertaining program. It is also interesting to note that our president and treasurer play in this orchestra. VVe trust the club next year will carry on successful work. lflorcnce A. Horowitz, Secretary.

The purpose of the French Club is to supplement the Work done in the French classes. Through this club We endeavor to arouse a greater appreciation of the French literature, people, and country, and a greater interest in the study of the language. The monthly meetings afford an opportunity for studying and enjoying various phases of French impossible to carry out in the class room. This year the French Club was very glad to Welcome hir. Kingsley as its faculty advisor. Under his supervision and that of bliss LaPorte and Miss Stapleton it has experienced a most successful season. The club this year adopted a fine plan for furnishing entertainment, by putting the various French classes in charge of the meetings. This afforded a chance to discover talent and to provide interesting programs. For one meeting iMiss LaPorte,s classes had charge of the entertainment. Two short plays and recitations were given. At another of the entertainments, through the combined efforts of hliss Stapletonis classes a delightful musical program was oH'ered. Still another program was devoted entirely to the singing of French songs. Not only did the club enjoy entertainment in the forms of programs but in its annual dance as Well. In this, as in our other undertakings, we feel We were quite successful. A short comedy entitled La Faim est un Grand Inventeurv was presented in the auditorium. The cast Was composed of French Club members. As a conclusion to this brief summary of French Club doings, it seems appro- priate to extend a vote of thanks to all the club members in recognition of their loyal co-operation.

The Journalism Club has the distinction of being one of the two new' clubs formed this year. As there were no journalism classes organized this year, the Herald called a meeting of students interested in newspaper work. This group formed the Journalism Club. From its ranks were chosen additional members of the Herald staff. Every week the members of the club received news assign- ments from Katharine Stapleton, news editor, and did their work faithfully all year. The club acts as a training school for future reporters. At several meetings, Nfr. Nott and lNTiss Judd, Faculty Advisors, and important members of the Herald staff, gave informal talks on high school newspaper work. Near the close of the year, the members of the club gathered at Long House Inn for a jolly wind-up of a busy year. First of all a delightful supper was served. Maybelle Hinton acted as toast-mistress. The speakers of the evening were the delegates of the Herald staff to the Third Annual Convention of the Columbia Scholastic Press Association. These were Mr. Nott, hfiss Judd, Nlinnie Radner, James Doyle, Katharine Stapleton, and George Eastwood. The Journalism Club has become a permanent factor in the school. The Harald staff wishes to take this opportunity to express its appreciation to hfiss Mabel L. Judd and Nlr. Chester W. Nott, faculty advisors for the year l926f27. At times it was only their earnest effort and co-operation which put courage into the hearts of wavering editors and reporters. The Harald realizes that it can never fully repay its debt of gratitude. Eva Saltman, Secretary.

Girls of the Sophomore Class who are recommended by their English teachers because of high grade work in English are eligible to membership. At present sixty girls are enrolled in the club. This year the club has concerned itself with modern short story writers and their work. So at our second meeting we enjoyed hearing about Rudyard Kipling and some of his best tales. At other meetings we learned much about Robert Louis Stevenson, jack London, Bret Harte, Richard Harding Davis, Henry Van Dyke, Leon Tolstoy, Guy du Nlaupassant, Anton Chekov, Selma Legerlof, Bjorn Bjornson, and Ivan Turgenen, Our Christmas meeting was a diversion from the usual program and had a decided holiday tone. Dickens, The Christmas Caroln was delightfully presented by some of our members. The greetings in verse Written by each member for a club mate-and the refreshments--added a personal touch to the affair. Then, the meeting in February was a decided relaxation after midyear exams. Miss Kelton, a former member of the club, now with the Hampshire Book Shop in Northampton, spoke to us about books. Miss Kelton told us that every high school girl should have a library of her own containing a few classics. We greatly enjoyed lX'fiss Kelton's discourse, and determined to begin to save, right now, for a library-be it ever so small-of our own. The meetings of the year ended with a party on May Day at Mount Holyoke College. After seeing the beautiful pageant on Norse hfythology presented by the students, lyfiss Delaney and the members of our club journeyed to the top of the hill where they ate their lunch. All felt that this day had been a worthy climax to a most profitable year under the inspiring leadership of Nliss Delaney.

'To the ears ofthe expectant throng there mxddenly came a single clear blast on a trumpet. The great luxurious red velvet curtains parted. There was a little gasp from the throng as their eyes fell upon the sight of the maidens of Queen Dido and as they heard the dulcet sounds of the welcom- ing song. No this isn't a scene from Carthage, it is a scene put on by the Classical Club of the Holyoke High School for the entertainment of the student body. FoHouung thk beaudfulrendidon ofthe wekonnng song duected by Rims hlary Adele Allen, assisted by hfaybelle Hinton, the entire club sang popular songs in Latin. This remarkable-to say the least, unique-program was the out- come of hard but loving work on the pait of our faculty advisor, lXIiss Allen. To lXfIiss Allen also goes the credit for putting on the numerous other little private club programs presented throughout the year in the library. The Christmas program with its gay and also solemn carols sung and chanted in Latin, was especially beautiful. This program is but a sample of the many simi- lar programs got up by different club members. For the benefit of the uninitiated the Concilium Olympium is open to those students taking Cireek and Senior Latin. Its purpose B to increase the love for Latin, gathered in the three years of preparatory Work. The motto of the club is 'Tons Sapientiae per Libros Fliutf, 'The ritual of each meeting is unique in this part of the state. ,xThe officers are: Praesidens, Pontifex Maximus, and Scriba. As is it always the custom to present some article to the school on Gift Day, the club donated a beautiful royal purple toga to be worn at all meetings of the club during the reading of the ritual. The club again rejoiced this year in the success that its members had in the lists of the College Board examinations and the various other college examinations.

The Mathematics Club for the season 1926-1927 may be looked upon as one of great achievement in that it has succeeded in promoting among its members a very great interest in Mathematics. This success was due mostly to our very fine in- structor, Mr. Moriarty, and the members of the program committee who have Worked incessantly with the members in securing very complicated and interesting programs. The lives of Pythagoras, Euclid, and Thales have been real sources of inspira- tion and enjoyment to the members, together with Hlvlathematical Recreations by Stephen Leacock and some very complicated problems. Great credit is also due to the club officers who were elected by ballot during the week of December ll-18.

'Why? Because 1927's Dramatic Club produc- tion has furnished the material of which talk is made. On May 27, the club presented the Fmerson-I.oos comedy with the finesse of professionals. The play is one which provides ample opportunity for clever charac- terization, and every opportunity was grasped and enlarged upon by a capable cast. Will you ever forget Frank Rohan's difficulties as he wandered through a maze of love affairs invented for him by the well-meaning but blundering Mr. Simmons, in the person of John Falvey. The fight in the dark has been stamped indelibly upon our memories, along with Letty Lythe's dramatic entrance and Sadie Bloom's obdurate interference. The choice of a comedy for this year's play was influenced somewhat by the great success of Seventeen,,' which was presented by the club in 1926. The VVhole Townis Talkingl' is indeed a worthy successor to 4'Seventeen. To Miss Powers is due the praise for this successful useasoni' of the Dramatic Club players.

The football team completed a fairly successful season this year, winning four out of seven games played. In the opening game, the team had not quite hit its stride, and scored but one touchdown. Zebrowski, who was playing center for Holyoke, carried a fumble over the line. i'Stewie,' Williamson kicked the extra point. Our gridsters fared better in the second game with Dalton, winning 12-6. ln the second period, Nurmi Garvey scored a touchdown on a neat forward by Nlerriman, and Williamson carried the ball over the line in the third period. Neither try for extra points was scored. In its third game of the season, the Holyoke team journeyed to Wiilliston to administer a severe drubbing to the seconds. Jimmie Wvoods, and Cavanaugh were the individual stars of this contest, the former scored one touchdown and the latter two. Vililliamson and lvlerriman each added one point after touchdown. In its annual clash with Springfield, Holyoke came out with a 12-0 victory over Central. In this game Holyoke excelled in the aerial attack. ln this manner of play Jimmie VVoods star left end excelled, being on the reciving end of many fine passes from Nferriman and Cavanaugh. Cavanaugh scored Holyoke's touch- down in this game, and VVilliamson and Capt. lklerriman each added three points with field goals. Capt. hlerriman deserves special praise for his fine work in this game, for he continually gained many yards 'for the ilocals, alternating heaving long passes and skirting the opponent's wings.. On the twenty-ninth of October, Northampton journeyed to Holyoke, only to be defeated by our team, 7-0. This was a close, hard-fought game, and the Holyoke team well deserved the victory. Capt. Merriman went over the line in the final period for the only touchdown of the game, and g'Stewie,' Vllilliamson kicked the extra point. Holyoke rounded out her home season with a game with Chicopee, the only undefeated school-boy team in this vicinity. The game was hard-fought through- out. In the third period Capt. Bourbeau of Chicopee crossed the line for a touch- down, putting the opponents ahead by 6 points, a lead which Holyoke could not conquer, try as they might. On the last game of the season, a tired Holyoke team played a heavy Green- field High team, and was beaten. The locals were greatly weakened by injuries.

However, having lost the valley honors Holyoke did not reject the offer to enter the VVestern lvfassachusetts tourna- ment,the second to be held at Springfield. Holyoke reached the finals by defeating Deerfield and Lenox. In the finals Holyoke proved herself the better team by de- feating the strong Drury High School squad rated as one of the best school boy teams in the Berkshires. This victory gave Holyoke the claim to the Vffestern hfassachu- setts Championship for the year 1926-1927. The new elections for the season 1927-1928 by the players placed George Red Rafferty as leader of next year's team. Much is expected under Red's leader- ship. Next year will find three positions vacant due to the graduation of Bruce VVilliamson and Bob Markowski. of this year are: Captain John Antul, Bruce lvferriman, Robert Cavanaugh, George Rafferty, Stewart VVilliamson, Harold , John Lyons. u Merriman, Stewie The letter men hfarkowski, James Gero, Daniel Arent James H.

The initial meet was held at Worcester Academy on January 22. Worcester defeated Holyoke 45-14 but the locals showed good ability against the stronger opponent. On January 26th Springfield College Frosh Team beat'Holyoke 38-21. In this meet Crain defeated Orcutt of Springfield who won the inter-scholastic diving championship of New England last year. Bray's swimming in the 100 yard dash was a big feature. On the following Saturday Holyoke bowed to W'est- minster Academy 48-11 at Simsbury, Conn., but came back strong the next Wed- nesday by trimming Central High of Springfield 35-15 in the local tank. After being beaten by Deerfield Academy, the locals went to Vifilliamstownhon February 12 and trounced VVilliams College Freshmen 26-24 in a hotly contested meet. The latter was the best win of the season. Holyoke won two more meets the following week by defeating Central again 43-16, and Suffield High 21-20. Brayls first in the 100 yard swim won the Suffield meet for Holyoke. ln the last meet of the season at Amherst, Deerfield Academy won over the locals 32-27gin a very exciting meet. 'i Forest Crain was the outstanding star of the season. Besides capturingifirst place in the diving in every meet,he earned the right to claim the New England Inter-scholastic Diving Championship. Next in honors is Capt. Bray who was Crain's running mate. Bray captured many first places in the 100 yard dash and also swam in the relay and fifty yard dash. Bumper Lally, a sophomore, one of Holyoke High,s best breaststrokers, did some very fine work. f'Kewpie Calkins, an all around swimmer, was one of the team's mainstaysQ Other members who showed ability are Roy Driscoll, Joe Zebrowski, Lesser, and 1. P. Moriarty. The following men will receive their purple HU: Capt. Bray, Bagg', Crain captain-elect, Roy Driscoll, Calkins, Brach, Zebrowski, Pete', Marziarz, Lally, J. P. Moriarty, 15.1.

The season opened up at Falco Field when the local team defeated Agawam High School by a 13-6 score. The locals got away with a flying start and were leading at the close of the fifth 10-3. Holyoke managed to get three runs and Agawam followed suit before the game was over. The heavy hitting of the locals was featured by Cain, Cavanaugh, VVoods, Shea and lWerriman. Holyoke received its first defeat by the strong VVilliston team 15-3. The locals were off form and displayed a very poor brand of ball. The first Valley league contest was against Vlestfield at the Falco Field. Here Gero pitched air tight ball allowing only one hit, almost a no-hit game. The lVestfield pitcher was touched for three hits but had more strike-outs to his credit than Gero. The game opened up with Williamson's walking, Moriarty sacri- ficed him to second, Merriman singled to right field scoring Willaimson. Vlriestfield threatened Holyoke in the 9th when a pinch hitter touched Gero for a hit but the next man walked and they both died on bases. The game ended with Holyoke on top 1-0. A Week later Holyoke took Wilbrahani into camp but on the following fled- nesday the locals again tasted defeat when they bowed down to the strong Cushing team 6-3. The second Valley League game was at Northampton. Northampton led for three innings by a score 1-0. But, their lead was short lived for the locals came back strong and defeated them by a score 3-1. Here again Gero pitched good ball which resulted in his second victory of the season. Holyoke's next victim was VVest Springfield, which was another Valley League contest. Holyoke was on the long run of 13-0 at the end of the 7th. Here the coaches held a confer- ence and decided to call the game. Holyoke batted three pitchers out of the box, and without a doubt would have batted the fourth out if the game was continued. This was the third Valley victory for the locals. Holyoke journeyed to Athol and defeated them 5-2. The local infield slipped a bit, and made three errors in this game which accounted for Athol's two runs. Kferriman did well on the mound, allowing only four hits. The next and last game up to the date of publication of the Annual, was Greenfield at Greenfield. This game was a big surprise to all the fans following the locals. lt was a baseball upset, for Holyoke was favored to beat them easily. Instead Greenfield turned the tables and defeated them 6-2. Gero was batted from the mound in the Sth and replaced by Cassidy who filled the position well for the remainder of the game. Three errors again, on the infield, accounted for two I'UI1S. Holyoke had received their first Valley League defeat and Gero his first defeat also.

It is a great pleasure to me, acting on behalf of my classmates, to welcome you here this morning to our Class Day Exercises. Your presence shows a deep interest in our work and is an incentive for us to strive hard in the great tasks which lie before us. For three long years we have been struggling in our Holyoke High School pre- paring ourselves for the hardships of the world. Steadily for three long years we have been increasing in intellect and broadening in character. If things Went wrong and we became discouraged, our Alma Mater always renewed our interest and cheered us on. Now we have completed our course and are ready to graduate. Success is within the reach of every pupil of Holyoke High. We have only to grasp it and we will be in a new land of promise with a race of energy, intelligence, and high en- thusiasm. But who has made it possible for us to attain this opportunity? First of all our parents. They alone know what sacrifice they have made. Words can hardly express our deep appreciation and gratitude to them. The School Board and City of Holyoke have offered every opportunity possible to those who wished to make the best of them. For this reason the Class of '27 ex- tends its sincere thanks to them for the splendid privileges they have afforded us in obtaining the Knowledge which is necessary to succeed in our chosen vocations. To hir. Conant and the faculty of the School we are deeply grateful for their willing and untiring efforts in assisting us. They have given us their time un- sparingly both in and outside of school, teaching us not only the knowledge of the text-books but also the value of Truth, Courage, Loyalty, and Honesty-the very elements of success. But today is a day of joy. It is the day on which we assemble for the last time in order to hear our past history and the prophesies for the future, the beautiful dreams of our poet, the noble declamations of the orator, and our last words to the School in the Farewell Address. Let us all, then, enter into the spirit of the occa- sion and make this Class Day one which we shall remember forever. 53: 46 if 46 53' 49 rf F asfzsasfaaasfzsaaasasfzsfzsasfaa 510811 Sfksllsllskiklfllsfkifksikskillsksllifkifkill at Clary Omiion FRANK ROHAN You will admit, my friends, that human happiness is the problem of human life. It is only natural that as we pause to look into the future a feeling of fear begins to grip us for the World is a big place and many are the pitfalls that must be avoided if We are to reach our goal and attain happiness. We should all have a goal, for the sooner we aim at something the speedier will we achieve success. lX'lany of us will be inclined to aim high, too high in the eyes of our elders. Perhaps among us there are several that aspire to fill prominent places in public life-'to be the heads of great universities or the geniuses behind immense and Wealthy corporations. Such goals are not impossible. Those men and women now occupying such great positions were ordinary youths like ourselves not so long ago. Really, nothing is impossible. When l say this I am tempted to add, within reasonf' True, there are feats which appear to be utterly impossible but youth, our most valuable asset, is not checked by the mere fact that some- thing desirable cannot apparently be accomplished. Consider some of the Wonderful accomplishments of even the last half century. Fifty years ago only the wisest, the most daring, even imagined that electricity could be harnessed to do the wonders We see about us today. Possibly the marv- elous engineering feats of today were dreamed of, but none expected to see them in reality. Radio was one of the impossibilities, as were underground transportation and undersea vessels,and none could conceive of the wonderful advancement of motor vehicles. Lastly, consider the strides that have been made in conquering the air. Youth, so clearly personified by the plucky Lindbergh refused to be alarmed at the magni- tude ofthe task and simply decided that the long air trip of several thousand miles from New York to Paris would be accomplished. On a morning just four weeks ago today, this fearless young reserve officer rose into the air from Long Island in a monoplane christened The Spirit of St. Louisf' His achievement was not a matter of luck. It was, on the contrary, the execution of a project after months of careful preparation. Like most of us Lindbergh had a goal. His goal was Paris. In the evening of the second day, 33 hours and 30 minutes after his take-off, he landed at his destination at the French. flying field at Le Bourget. He had trav- eled over 3600 miles. He was received by the people of France with the greatest enthusiasm and was regarded as a messenger of good will. Colonel Lindbergh's flight has done as much toward vindicating the youth of today as it has toward cementing the bond of friendship between America and liurope. Last Saturday, the entire nation joined with President Coolidge in hailing the air hero, giving him the greatest welcome in history. Lindberghls splendid feat should live forever as an example of the youth of all times. This country is constantly growing and must have a regular supply of raw 5? +G dfiidhdliiidhdiiidiiliiiiiiiiiiiiihik l109ll 42 SP 42 4? 42 42 4? SB SE SP SP SP 42 52 4? SV material to mold into leaders in science, business, arts and the professions to re- place the present holders of notable positions. We young men and women have as good an opportunity to be successful on a large scale as the thousands of other students that are leaving high schools in every section of the country. Let me emphasize again that youth is a wonderful asset. With it there is no trouble in arousing enthusiasm, ambition, courage and confidence with which we may approach to great heights. Experience, another great aid to success, will come later. In the meantime it behooves us to make the most of our youth while it is with us. The time is not far off when we, too, will look back and yearn for the days of our youth and sigh at the thought of leaving our places. As We listen to those critics who speak in disparaging terms of uimpetuous youth, the hair-brained youngsters, let us not be dismayed. Youth's good points far outweight its liabilities and as we go from this school let eachof us make a firm promise that We will make the most of our greatest asset, Youth.

Hzklory FLORENCE SEIDEL On this day of days june the 17th, we, in the midst of our parents, relatives and dearest friends, relate with happiness the unceasing joys of our past three years. Despite these great joys, sadness creeps into our hearts as we realize this is our final assemblage as a class. Still, at the present moment, the joys of this occasion cannot be blotted out. Among my beloved classmates there are many who will take positions high in life, and like buds bursting into bloom so is the Class of '27 going forth into the world to impart their learning and acquire know- ledge. On September 2, 1924, 240 boys and girls were entered into our great high school of learning. Excited and nervous we hurried into the auditorium where we received cards to direct us to our classes. All this seemed very tiresome but we soon learned and after a few weeks everything was running smoothly. Our first task was the election of officers. After a spirited battle john Falvey was chosen President, Florence Seidel, Vice-Presidentg Eugene Zielinski, Treas- urerg Maybelle Hinton, Secretary. Shortly after this election the Sophomore Reception came to the front, and on October 9, we were initiated as real students of our high school. The Round-the-Table Club next opened their doors to the girls of high rating in English, as did the Assembly Club welcome our boys. On February 21st, the Sophomores gave their first entertainment which proved a great success. Gift Day then came and in usual custom we presented the school with our class window. In the fall of 1925 we returned as Juniors, happy for advancement and proud of our past achievements. The Q Club and Phi Alpha were open to us. This year we took great hold of our work and showed our deep appreciation for our teachers' help. V Our class play, A Little Child Shall Lead Themf' was a great success. lXluch of the credit was due to the work of the class officers, with George lXfurray as President, Florence Seidel, Vice-President, Eugene Zielinski, Treasurer, ilvfaybelle Hinton, Secretary. Many great upsets occurred in athletics. Holyoke defeated Central High 3-0. Later in the season Holyoke's greatest rival, Tech High, was defeated 15-7. As the months rolled on we completed plans for the first informal dance in place of the formal prom. We must linger upon this affair as it was the first prom given by a class which proved financially successful. VVith this triumph 1926 approached the zenith and a welcome vacation set in. Time elapsed quickly and we returned to school as Seniors and we were happy and proud of this title. 1Ve were, however, astounded to learn that seven of our Sl' 43 iiiliiiiididiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiibiliiiilkuii A llllljj 512 52 S12 St?

The first matter attended to Was the election of officers to guide us through our last year. George lN'Turray again was chosen President, lylaybelle Hinton, Vice-Presidentg Eugene Zielinski, Treasurer, Elizabeth Astley, Secretary. Our class play, The Royal Cut-Upf' was an over-Whelming spectacle. On December 28, 1926, the Seniors entertained the Juniors in the gym. This Was the brilliant affair of the year. How proud we felt as We Watched our officers dispensing hospitality and charm to their invited guests. Our first great athletic achievement was the defeating of Central at Spring- field. ln basketball and baseball We continued our usual excellent play, team after team falling before us. The Harald also had a very successful year. The Editor-in-Chief was a girl and has shown how Well the girls of '27 are capable of taking care of business. In April, a musical operetta, The Captain of Plymouthf' was presented in the High School Auditorium with several of our class on the cast. This enter- tainment Was something new and drew a large crowd . Credit must be given to lyfr. Kingsley of the French Department. Junior High School Day brought hundreds of future students to inspect our Work. An excellent exhibition of this was shown. The Classical Club ,consisting of seniors, presented their play as in preceding years. The Senior Dramatic Club presented their entertainment, The Whole ToWn's Talking to the public on the night of lhlay 27. This Dlay brought out the excellent talent of the young actors. lNl'uch credit must also be given to Kliss Powers, who supervised the production. Pigtail Day brought back the memory of childhood days. ln the light of this list of facts We believe that 1927 has been the best all around class that has graduated from Holyoke High. Our class celebrities were chosen during an hour of much fun and merriment. 'Sl' 'SG Qt 45 Sli 49 5?

Not merely to exist in life, to play an easy game, But to amount to something in our ideal-is our aim! There is a place somewhere on Earth for everyone who lives, And it is up to each to make the most of what life gives. No matter how much Wealth We have, or how much good we know ,Tis to the man who does his best to Whom the laurels go. Some members ofour class will gain, Some will find peace and happiness, some Will be proud and grand. Yet ,twas not meant that all of us should live for just a song- It is the man who is a man who helps the world along. And so We gather here today to bid one last goodbye. E're We, the class of '27, leave our Holyoke High. But though we go regretfully and though our hearts are sore, The memories We take with us will live forevermore. And, some day, when vve're lonely and the joys of life seem few- W'e'll call to mind those memories--and wander back to you. 7 5?

And when she asked us Why we were so sad and pale and wan, We answered low, We're prophets, and can never smile again. Our classmates have been cruel to us, and threatened us with lVlath g We needs must write their prophesies or else excite their wrath! The teacher realized at once the sadness of our plight, And thought a moment, trying hard to set our troubles right. Seek out some lonely gypsy camp where fortune tellers hide, 'Twill not be hard to prophesy with a wise and clever guide. And so, with hopes at last aroused, We hurried from the room, In search of some magician who would save us from our doom. We wandered through the countryside, in every hill and dale, We questioned everyone we met, but 'twas of no avail. The little children laughed at us, while older ones replied That they spoke not to people of the fortune telling kind. And so, with many such remarks so strewn along our path, We longed to give up prophecies and turn to fearful Math.,' At length, when daylight faded, and the dusk stole over all, We sat upon the High School steps to Watch the shadows fall.- Then suddenly we looked above, and there, away up high, We saw our classmates prophecies, spread clear across the sky. So think of this, ye fellowmen, and gaze aloft to Mars, Where elfe could '27 be, if not among the stars?

But unlike that famous woman, Margaret is going to have a cottage small with all the necessary utensils, and it is going to be by a Water-fall. Adrian Larnhrrt: Adrian as a woodchopper is going to be a valuable man to Holyoke when it starts expanding into the wilderness. He will certainly be a valuable asset to this profession for he always did love the great open spaces of our valley, where he says still live the sturdy pioneers of Holyoke. Thomas Kennedy is going to retire from active service at sixty-but his years up to this time are to be crowded with the solving of problems which almost blew him off the earth in the Advanced Math Class. We all wish him success for he is to do more than anyone else would care to attempt. It is hard to look into the dim future and visualize Arthur Maron. In H. H. S. he is known by all as the dignified head of the hfathematics Club. Art will go to lvl. I. T. after leaving H. H. S. and he will receive a degree as long as some of the proud members of the faculty can boast. His first achievement in the world will be in reconstructing the Springfield Memorial Bridge. Gordon Mtlef' name always was a by-word for the saying a little man with a big brain. Oh! but for Gordy the fates decree a most dazzling future, he is to attain world-wide fame by straightening the Leaning Tower of Pisa, a problem which has stumped all geniuses to the present time. Gordy always did undertake the impossible. . The next generation is going to be most fortunate in having written one of the most ultra-modern and snappiest books of all times, it's title will be Beware the Wiles of Blondes, a book which will be sorely needed in that innocent age. The author will be none other than our famous essayist, poet, satirist, and above all humorist Edward Harrington. It is needless to say that Edfs experiences have fitted him well for writing just such a book, so I hope the next generation will take a word of advice from a man who knows. Dorothy Banach will become well-known throughout the operatic world as That divine wielder of the bowf, Dot's career would naturally be in the theatre, as it started Cthere in high schooll as a successful usher at the Suffolk. Dot will never accept any matrimonial offers, but most of us feel sure that when the right man comes there will be no question. Ida Odabashian won't lose any of the mysterious charm known as uit. Oh!

That Dot might keep her hair in its original color, she will own a beauty parlor, and as she always had a peculiar taste for things aristocratic and Frenchy she will call her shop La Dukef' which will indeed be most attractive as an advertisement. Robert Boardwayk specialty through high school was to travel into faraway lands, then after returning to the old burg, he would complain about the deficiency in our whole system. There was one thing which he especially deplored, and that was the product our fair city turned out to represent the feminine gender. Vliell, Bob will continue the old life, that is traveling around the world and hunting in dark jungles like those which haunt the banks of Hampton Ponds. Peter Equi: Peter's name has always stood for the fine arts, and into this work Peterls life is going to lead. He will spend many years in obscurity, but like many another genius he will rise to fame over night, by means of a picture entitled Mutt and Jeff,', posed by Red,' Rafferty and Jerome Garvey. farnex Woody' life is to be one of great leisure for he is to spend it in traveling to gay Paree every winter as a manager for a fashionable bathing company in N. Y. This work certainly is Jimmie's specialty for he will spend his summer at Atlantic City studying the various forms and styles. Dan Arent: The big leagues will most certainly claim Dan after the great name he has made for himself in Holyoke High. He will be the terror of all op- ponents and a hard man to push against. But Dan will retire after a few years and settle down in Florence and there Will also be a young Arent over which K'Flor- ence will be most proud. Edward Bayort, a retiring and unassuming young man, will become a great politician, and he will not stop until he has reached the height of his ambition, that of President of the U. S. The main reason for Eddie becoming president is attrib- uted to the distinguished service he rendered Section 56 in the governing chamber of H. H. S. fohrz. Mahew: Well, H. H. may stop sighing for John Maheu is coming back next year for a P. G. John's reason in public for this step is to brush up on a few studies, but the inside dope is that John has recently brushed against a certain junior female, and is coming back for more brushing next year. It is expected John will be easily marshalled by that time. joreph Moriarty' has a very great future for such a little man, Skull,, will inherit a royal title to some petty principality in the old sod. Joe is well trained for his future inheritance, because part of his training was his frequent interviews with the Duke,' while in high school. Fred Wilson is going to get excited some day and go into the hardware business, but it won't take him long to get back to hard tacks while furnishing the fair maidens of '27 with rolling pins to keep the males in their proper sphere.

He always could throw a good line. And so we look into the next five years, and see Evflyn Bnrnftl, famous Zieg- field Follies beauty, doing the Dance of the 'Roy' brigade, which will so thrill Broadway audiences that she will be Toasted at every breakfast table in America. Pat Falvey, Flaming Apollo of '27 will depart from our fair city and will star in a Broadway production called Women I Have Loved. john Felrentragfr is slated to become a great weight lifter. Why' John chose this occupation is beyond comprehension, but one little freshie rises to state that John could always hold a good armful sliding at Heywood's this past winter. Helen Getler will read into the pasts of our ancestors,the Egyptians, after discovering a new form of hieroglyphic. Bruce Merriman will possess a fine line of steamships. lVe take this calmly for didn't Bruce always have a fine linen? Claire Lambert holds the responsible position of chief of police in Kalamazoo. If Claire catches criminals as efficiently as she grasped her subjects at high school, the zoo won't suffer any crime wave. Donald Falwy will continue his study of Nlath. He will discover a new simple method of doing intricate lhlath. problems. Cornelia Hurley is one of the wisest girls in the Senior class as she realizes that the nearest way to a gentleman's heart is through his stomach. Consequently Cornelia will go to Normal School and take up the art of cooking. Charles Wolcott will join the Victory Follies of '28 and will then go on with the Keith Circuit. Buster will be connected with the Bathing Suit Revue, not a water nymph, but just the curtain raiser, nevertheless this is near enough to his ambition. Harold Hardif', Deana, the school's authority on the Charleston and Black Bottom is doomed to spend his life in Hollywood and while there he will star in the Harern.,, Hardie,' always did go huge where women were concerned.

How well we know that our time in active union with our Alma lNIater is slipping away! How we strive to tell Her of our thankfulness and love, only finding that mere words cannot express the deep emotion tugging at our hearts. All about us is joyfulness. It is June, the month of roses and golden, sunny hours. There is a feeling of sadness that will not pass away. No more will aut- umnls golden weather call us back to the scenes we loved so well. No more will there be the good old friendships that flourished between us. No more will we return to the revered haunts of our happy high school days. New paths will open and new duties will claim our efforts. Time will never alter our true devotion to our Alma Nlater. lvfemory will only make the joys we knew sweeter. VVherefore, it seems fitting that we should give a little advice to the other classes before leaving: You will soon be called upon to carry forward the high standard of your be- loved Alma Nlater. You will become upperclassmen. The new students who come in will look to you to give them a good example and a sound start in their high school careers. How can you live up to the importance of this office? You must make yourself a fundamental part of the school and strive with might and main to better it in any possible way. Work hard towards perfection and your record will be a great source of pleasure to you. Juniors: How fitly do you feel you are adapted to be the leaders of Holyoke High School next year? Your success depends upon your willingness to go forward with all vim and vigor in order to surpass our record. Promote the best interests of the Q Club, the Phi Alpha, and the French Club. Support Tne Herald and your class dances. Push on with the great work of the Student Council and make it better than ever. Support your athletic teams and keep up the school's fine record along this line. Bring your studies up to such a high grade that the under- graduates will have a fine incentive to urge them along. Half of the reason of success is knowing that a thing can be done. Make your class outstanding and brilliant through honest efforts and stern perseverance. lNIr. Conant: It is hard to say good-bye to such a true friend as you have proven yourself to be. We lay the credit for our success at your door. You have carefully watched over us and have taken care that we did not go astray. We will make better citizens because of your tireless efforts for our betterment. Oftimes we could not see why you had us do certain things in a certain way. Now we realize that we were blinded by our youth and inexperience, while you saved us from error. We will never forget you, firm in our belief that you have been our staunchest friend. dkflkfliilifliiikikiliiiliiiiidkfliriiilliilkdi 1113811 525252SXESESPSPSSPSXPSPSESPSESESSPSESESP Faculty: Your invaluable training will always remain with us. We will never forget your sacrifices for our sake. In very few schools do they have such ideal teachers as one finds in Holyoke High. When we were very capricious and were bubbling over with youthful frivolity, you patiently bore our rudeness and annoyances. As We charge on in life's great struggle, your advice and memory will save us from many a disgraceful and bitter fall. Classmates: We are soon to part and take up our various walks of life. One thing we must always keep uppermost in our minds. l Our parents deserve all with which we can ever hope to reward them. We are indebted to them in a hundred ways for all they have so unselflshly done for us. At personal sacrifice they have given us all the things we have desired. Success has been put in our grasp only through their magnanimous efforts. May we never forget this debt and always remember it with a grateful heart. How long will it take us to learn that there are only two things in life that really count-one is character-the other is human sympathy? Our characters have been formed here in the Holyoke High School. Let us go forth and prove ourselves to be so true and so sincere, that the name of our Alma Mater will rc- bound with praise. Let us always be merciful and try to understand others no matter how aggravating the circumstances may be. Now dear classmates there only remains but one more word to say. In saying this we fervently ask the blessing of God Almighty for a clean and happy future and the strength to always uphold the truth. And now we whisper- Farewell!

Count Baron Lands had just hopped off in his balloon for his morning fly going to work. I-Ie was an excavator and was always on the lookout for any land that might give up its treasures and secrets to him. As he gazed through the large magnifying glass in the bottom of the ship, he noticed a large tract of land which looked as if it might, at one time, have been populated. He directed his driver to take him to the place. They began to explore the place,found first the decayed walls of what had been a large yellow brick building. Wondering what this could be they searched farther and found at one corner a post on which there were two plates, the first which read SargeantHg and the second which read Pine . After much thought, they finally agreed that this must be the tomb of some great man in the army at that time and whose name was Sargeant Pine. Next the Count's search was rewarded by the uncovering of a little book. This the Count took to his air castle and read with much interest for he thought that it would tell him something of this man Sargeant Pine. This is what he read: 1926-1927 To all whom this may concern I do hold these days which I write about to be sacred. So be it. September 8-I was just rolling over for my second nap, second wind as it were, when a sweet voice called, Get up, school today. How sweetl Obediently I crawled out of bed. At, 8.15 I had taken my place in a room marked 57. As I strolled through the halls I noticed quite a few little creatures roaming about as if they were lost and upon inquiring found that these were what was known as Freshmen. However, these little things were not the only new things that were in the school. These were several new teachers. In spite of these handicaps, the day passed without a mishap and we were dismissed with a load of books to study. Thus ended the first day. September 15-A call was given forth today for football practice. I went down to the field to watch and to see whether I would let them put me on the team or not. What do you suppose I saw there? There was a bunch of fellows lying on their backs with their legs stuck up in the air kicking to beat the band. They looked like a group of turtles on their backs. This is what they did all afternoon. A man on one side of the Held would yell something. Everyone on the field would start to run. The man yelled again and every fellow would jump in the air, grab at something that I could not see, and then fall landing on his stomach, shoulder, or his back and the harder they landed the better they like it. They must have missed what they were grabbing for. Some day I'm going to run behind them and try and find out whatthey grab at. W'e1l, such is the life of a football hero. 5? iiiiiiiflffliiilkiilidbiiiidiiliilkikrliilkilhfg 1114011 G? 65 difiiiidiiiiiiliriiiliifliilitliifiifli QQEQSESEQEQSBSPMSFQQBMMSP October 7-Friday. I came to school early today. I only had to run half way down and get here by 8.15. Pretty good for me. VVhen I entered the building I was stopped by a young lady who wished to sell me something. I looked and saw that she had a paper. She told me that this was the first issue of The Herald and that seeing that it was I she would sell me that four page newspaper for only six cents. I bought one and then spent the rest of the day looking for the news. Not even one murder or divorce was mentioned. Think of it and they called it a newspaper. Anyway I must say there were some nice pictures in the ads but I did miss the funnies. There was a section called Joax', and such jokes. Either I am English or the editors have no sense of humor and I'm not English. But, taking everything into consideration, it is a good way to spend six cents and not know why. October 11-As I came into the room today I noticed a funny look on lNIr. Sylvester's face. I thought that it was natural so I didn't think anything about it. The look was soon explained for he began to pass among us some little pink cards which read on the top Scholarship and Deportment Record for the five weeks ending Oct. ll, 1926. I have now found why the math teachers put more D's and F's and so few A's and B's on the geometric figures. It is to keep in practice so that they will make nice ones on the report cards. I make the suggestion to the school board that they make the report cards b.ue so that they will be in the same state of mind as the pupils. October 29-Senior Mask Dance. Dance tonight at the Gym and I haven't quite decided which girl I will let take me. There is Alice, she is nice looking. There is Heleng she dresses nicely. There is Bettyg she dances well. Then, there is Pearlg she -5 well, I think Iill go with Pearl. At 9.00 P. IW. eastern standard the hall was crowded and the dance was in full swing. There were a great many costumes representing every form from the devil to the plain Happer. It was, on a whole, a very enjoyable evening. November 4-There is going to be a big party in the gym tonight run by the Student Council. They call it the Big Brother and Sister Party. Miss Laporte informed us that it was no matrimonial board and that the boys would have to adopt little brothers for the evening. The first part of the night was taken up by an exhibition tennis match between the champs of the Senior and Sophomore classes. The Seniors won, of course. I got there just in time for the refreshments. and was fed by someone's nice big sister. Everything went fine until the dancing and then the poor little brothers were sadly neglected. But I must give them credit, some of them at least, do pick out some nice little sisters with which to dance. A great deal of credit is due to the Student Council for the way they handled the party. November 5-The Chronicles of America, a moving picture, was shown in the auditorium this morning. I learned some new things about the Pilgrims. In times gone by I had thought that the Pilgrims were very careful of their actions. VVhy, this picture was shocking. A man even put his arm around his wife. Now, I ask you, isn't that the worst thing that he could do? But, what can you expect? These pictures were acted by college students and they do those things as a, Well, force of habit, as it were. However, that is not the point, just imagine them show- H141H iliibi AQBSESPSBKESPSPQBSBSBSPSPSP525251252 rw 4? ing such pictures in a school assembly. Is it no wonder that this younger genera- tion is going to the dogs? If we are, we are only following the example of our Pil- grim forefathers. I think that the picture was rather suggestive. November 12-We had another one of those Chronicles of America today. This week it was about the early settlers in the West. To me, it was rather a puzzling picture. This is what puzzled me the most. Being a close observer of the picture, I'm Scotch, I noticed that the men always carried rifles. Nothing strange about that, uyou rnay sayf' but to see the nuencarrying lVinchesterre- peaters and Springfield rifles over twenty years before they were being made seemed to me rather funny. Then too, in one picture it showed a man fire his gun in the air once. The next picture showed three Indians, three! mind you, fall. That's what I call pretty good shooting to kill three men when you fire once in the air. It's not being done every day. November 15-Monday morning and all was well until I got to school . This morning instead of handing us pink cards they handed us some nice, white, clean ones. Oh! itls a shame to spoil such nice, white, little, things but I guess it must be done. I've been wondering why the cards are white and I think, that this is the reason. You see they noticed that we turned just a little pale from fright the last time and this time they expected us to turn quite pale. Well they were right. Iill give myself credit though, my marks show that Ilm a good penman. November 19-Friday morning. Well, we were given a rest this morning. We didnit have any more of those very entertaining pictures. VVe were entertained by Mr. Heidner who was so kind as to bring up one of those things that you call an Orthophonic Victrola. The music that he played was very good and he showed great talent in his handling of the instrument. I'm going to ask him where he takes his lessons so that I can learn how to play one so well as he. The next time that he comes I'm going to suggest that we move the seats out of the Auditorium and have a dance. I think that that would be swell, don't you? November 24-The day before Thanksgiving Day. This is the day of the Senior Class Play and OH! sweet mama, it sure was good. The class of '27 have always given something good and the Juniors will have to go some to beat this one. Funny? Well, if you had seen Brick,' Falvey in that outfit of his dancing around the stage singing: I'm a little acorn brown. Lying on the dusty ground No one dares to pick me up I'm a nut oh I'm a nut. Right you are John. And there was Frank Rohan after him playing on the pipes. Oh! mama buy me one of those, I won't break it. Yes, you may have guessed it, Brick was a fairy queen. Can you imagine his being a fairy queen. Then there was Red', Ashe, who sang a most beautiful solo, he was the villianous villian, who had stolen the fairy queen's fortune and for a punishment was compelled to marry Maybelle Hinton. I don't know which was to be pitied. They sure did do them- selves up well in their last production before the school. As is the usual occurence, we are to be given the day after Thanksgiving off. l 'Sf 49 if -ls iiiiiiiliiiilidbdiibiiidiiiiidiiiiiik 514211 SESZZSIPSBSSESIBQBSEQBSSPSSPSESPSSIZSSESESP That is probably to give us time to get over our indigestion. Well, they can't make me mad by doing it. December 3-Well our short vacation is over and everyone looks as if he needs another one to rest up. Must have been some parties around town. Mr. Schurr, a naturalist, spoke to us this morning in the auditorium. You know, I always thought that a naturalist was someone who acted natural, but it isn't. He gave us a talk about nature, birds, beasts, and snakes, I think. We're glad we had him instead of those pictures again. December 17-Pretty good concert at assembly this morning. It was by the boys. There was a violin,a cornet, xylophone,and a piano and believe me they were good. Mr. Schaffner surprised all by playing the piano. I-Ie's a fairly good player, but has got to go some to beat young Ed', Horne of the Sophomore class. As I said before, they played some swell music. This part of the day's program we enjoyed. I shall now state a fact and let you judge how well, we enjoyed the rest of the program. Pink reports were passed out. December 24-Well, we gave the Junior class their second chance to do their stuff. Last year their play was rotten. The name of this year's play is Fiat Luxf, Sounds as if someone is going to take a bath with Lux in the title. Ah! my dear friends, 'twas a sad and heart breaking production. The poor little lame girl came in lame in one foot and when she went out the other one was lame. But she was given light. Then in came a brave soldier who had been wounded in the right side Cright through the heartj. The poor fellow had lost his way in the dark Cyou know these little Juniors never stay out after darkl and the old grouch gave him light. Everyone left the hall with tears in his eyes. CNot the old grouch,s.D But the tears now were little compared to those shed laterin the math classes. Dear old Mr. Sylvester was leaving the realms of the math department and was going to teach Latin in the far off metropolis, Somerville. It's a wonder the poor old fellow didn't lose an arm, he shook hands with so many people that day. VVell, President Cal7' has nothing on dear old Charlie. Three cheers, Christmas vaca- tion starts today. December 29-It's still vacation time but the Senior class is not stopping its wild activities. The Senior Prom was tonight and it was formal. I didn't know whether I should Wear a tux or not so I Hippecl up a coin. Heads, I wore a blue suit, tails a brown one, and if it stood on end, a tux. I didn't wear a tux. Talk about your pretty women there, well I should smile. I didn't know that there were so many in the high school. I was introduced to a girl in an evening dress. She was pretty nice and I kind of liked her so I tried to make a hit with her by say- ing, 4'I'd like to see more of you. IVIake a hit? YVell, I got hit. I still don't see why she slapped my face. January 2-School starts again and it looks as if we all need another vacation to rest up. Exams soon. Now I ask you, isn't that a happy thought with which to come to school. January 7-The Phi Alpha had charge of the auditorium exercises today. They gave a debate: Resolved, iiThat a college education is not Worth the time and money required to attain it. ' iliilidkikiiiiiliiliiiikfiiiiiliiiirikiidb 514311 SIPSIESXESPSIZSPSXBSSBSBQEQIZSSPSPQPSXESSPQE at la I QI There were some strange things said, IG ep Under the roof of lead. ,Q By the fellows who spoke up there. CI beg your pardon lkfr. Service.D 7 VI e learned, however, many strange things about college students. For instance, all the college students are there for a good time. A doctor is 1lOt Ht to practice until he has practiced. In fact no one is lit to do anything until he has done something. January 14-lVIore of those suggestive pictures. The only thing that they are good for is to take up time and We donit hate them for that. January 22 to 30th-Exams have arrived at last. I was just beginning to become worried for fear that we would not have them. I would have been so disappointed if they hadnit come. It is not the fact that I like the exams so much that I want them, but the fact that on the day that you donit have any you may stay home in bed. And now that they are here what shall we do with them. VVe can't pass them. I'll say one thing for myself, I didn't hand in one blank paper. No, I wrote my name on them all. But, after the storm comes the calm. That's looking on the cheerful side of it, isnlt it? January 31--A stranger walked into Section 57 this morning. He said that he was lWr. Mockler and that he had come to take lXIr. Sylvesterls place. We were so glad to see him that we staged, that noon, a big chalk battle in the section, for his benefit alone, but he wasn't there to see it. They issued the white cards again today. Now I ask you, do you think that that is a nice way to start a teacher on his job. I noticed that in his ohice hours that there are a good many more girls than there had been for INIr. Sylvester. I donit know whether it is his looks or whether he is stricter, but girls, heis married. February 4-Big surprise today. There were two men with aprons on walk- ing around school today. I followed one of them and found that he stopped at one of our statues. He started to rub it and I thought he was crazy but I soon found that he was just washing it. Behind the statue was a little Freshman. I don't know what he was doing there but he probably wanted to get a free wash. You know, the statues have to be washed only once a year and he might have thought that if he was washed with the same stuff that the same thing would happen to him. It's tough to be so dumb. Well, that's enough for the baths. Now let me see, what else happened today? Oh yes. The French Club had their dance in the gym. They have so darn many dances in this place that I don't know what to do. I havenit got enough girls to go around. I suppose that I'll have to go down to the corner and pick up one somehow. It was a good dance after I found a girl. February 11-Friday morning again and I see by the papers that we are to have a string program this morning. VVell, they played pretty good but they made a lot of motions. You know the kind. They sway back and forth and on their last note make a nicer bow than the Prince of Wales could ever be expected to make. In fact, there were so many motions that were of no use, that it made us feel as if we were in the U. S. Senate or the House of Representatives. SF 'IG iliiliifiilliilidkkiiiiidiilbfliiifliiiiflliiii 514411 HQESESESBSESPSIPQPSPSPSPSPSBSPSPSXE , 2' '43 i February 18-Last week we had a string this week we have a wind program. Hold your hats. Mr. Grady picked some of his best out of the band today to play for us. They played a couple of popular pieces. The first was Old Black Joeu and the second was Coming Through the Ryef, I think that they are the latest out. After that was over, some more wind entertainment was given to us. A girls, chorus of eighteen voices sang sweetly about the sun, oh, the poor sun. February 25- America in the lXIaking the Sophomore play with an all star cast of about fifty people was presented for our approval this morning. We have to give the little dears credit they did better than the junior class did. Talk about your fast class-well this class is a speed king. It took us from the time of the Pilgrims through the Revolution up to the present W'orld's VVar in exactly three- quarters of one hour. How's that for speed. Some of us may I1Ot have noticed it but it was a good history lesson while it lasted. Iive been wondering why it was that Uncle Sam was looking at the little girl who was helping him hold the flag instead of at-the audience. I think maybe he likes her. It's lucky that there were so many in the play for if there hadn't been there would have been a good many people standing up. After the performance was over there was an an- nouncement made that there would be no school the following week. Of course we were all very much grieved. The End. The Count closed the book. I-Ie carefully placed it on an electric tray which carried it to a shelf in his library. . '4VVell,,' said he to his secretary. 'LI have learned many things of the times of 1926-27 from that little book. First, my supposition that the building was a tomb was a mistake. Second, I have learned that it was a school. A school in which there were different classes and each class tried to show-off before the other by giving a play. Third: that the authorities of the school brought sorrow into the lives of the pupils every five weeks by issuing what they called report cards. I don,t know what they reported but it was surely something that made them un- happy. Fourthlyg that there were different clubs in the sc hool and they gave dances to which fellows and girls went together. It is certain that this was a school, but I fail to see in any part of the book Where they learned anything. This reasoning, of course, is a lot of bunk as you well know, but to me it is as sensible as some of the statements of present day excavators regarding prehistoric man. Peter YVarburton '27.

Everything seemed so strange to us then. The big high school was such a novelty. The first really important event of our life as a class was the selection of our class officers. VVe met in the auditorium and nominated those whom we thought most capable for such positions. These were voted upon next morning in our sections, and our class leaders were as follows: President, Joseph Roberts, Vice- President, Alice Lueyg Treasurer, Patrick Collins, Secretary, Alma Foerster. Our next, task was the choosing of our class rings. The ofiicers met repeatedly, and finally chose the seal which shall forever represent the Class of 1928 of the Holyoke High School. This was a yellow gold ring with a gold HU on a back- ground of black onyx with the numbers 19H and 2S', Written on either side of the seal. Orders were immediately taken, and the arrival of the rings was breath- lessly awaited. Our first taste of the social life of this large institution was the Sophomore Reception. To this all parents were invited. An interesting program was ar- ranged, which included motion pictures and refreshments. Proudly we con- ducted our parents to and fro along the halls with which, by now, we felt very well acquainted. At this time, came the rush of Christmas with everyone happy at the thoughts of a vacation. After the Christmas holidays, we entered school with great resolutions for the year of 1926, only to find the mid-year examinations staring us in the face. These were hardly new to us, as we had experienced them in the various Junior High Schools, which we had attended. As they are far from joyful, we will pass over them lightly. After having passed all safely, we started to work with great energy with the thoughts of becoming dignifffd Juniors as a goal. VVe worked so hard that our two months, vacation was welcomed with open arms. However, we must not pass over these few months between our mid-year examinations and our finals without giving mention to two of the greatest. social functions of our life as the Sophomore Class. The first of these was the Big Brother and Sister Party, and the second the Sophomore play. The Student Council had formed a plan by which the older boys and girls of the school might look after the younger ones Calthough by now, we felt perfectly capable of looking after ourselvesl. Each Sophomore was adopted by a Junior or Senior, who served as the big brother or sister. And so, on January 14, we were entertained at a delightful party with our adopted brothers and sisters acting as Q G dlidbdiiliflliiliididiiilifliflfiiiiirlliiifliiiif H1523 , 42512212SESESBSBSPSSESESBSIZSSIZSEQESPSESE 5' 49 hosts and hostesses. A program and refreshments were furnished after which general dancing was enjoyed. On Washingtoliis birthday, a few students of the class presented a play, which though very short, was an absolute success. On September of 1926, we again entered our Alma Mater. But this time we were Juniors. We didn't feel any older, any bigger, any more intelligent, and if I may say so, we were less dignified than we were as Sophomores. Again we entered the auditorium, and again we nominated and elected oiiicers for the class. Joseph Roberts was still the favorite as President. The other offices were held by Gertrude Yoerg as Vice-President, Thomas Gibbons as Trcas- urer: and Eleanor Shaw as Secretary. After our class elections, the Student Council, a little earlier than last year, started plans for a Big Brother and Sister Party. VVe again took part, only this year we were the big brothers and sisters helping the shy Sophomores along. The party was a big success. An interesting program was given, which included a tennis match between the champions of the Sophomore and Senior classes. General dancing followed. Soon plans were begun for our class play, as Juniors, to be given at Christmas time. A play was chosen, characters selected, and with the helpofMiss Powers, an interesting play entitled Fiat Luxi' was put on in the auditorium on the morn- ing of December 23rd before the students and their friends. During the Christmas vacation of 1926, the Junior Class was entertained by the Seniors at the annual Senior-Junior Prom. This was our first formal affair, and was a great success. Again we returned to face the trying period in which the mid-year examina- tions took place. However, after much effort, we again passed without difficulty. Now came our turn to entertain, and we eagerly started our plans for the annual Junior-Senior Prom. Wie worked hard, and with every effort made this dance a success. This was practically our last social event of the year. For now, we were obliged to settle down and to prepare for our final examinations. Having passed these safely, we now start on our long looked-for vacation. Thus, we end our Junior year, and patiently await the last year of our career at Holyoke High School.

Many of the upper classmen no doubt, will think that statement highly ex- aggerated, but isn't it true that the Sophomores take part in everything Worth while? They are the loyal supporters of Holyoke High at the various games. They uphold the mass meetings. They are ably represented in athletics and are faithful members of any club which sees fit to include Sophies. As time and space are limited, I must forbear any more proofs of my assertion. but must com- mence to tell you what is going on in the Sophomore Class. The Class of ,29 started its school year by electing class OHZICCFS. The honored ones are: Edward Sullivan, Presidentg Violet Collin, Vice-President, lwlarion Par- sons, Secretary, Joseph Zielinski, Treasurer. The next move of the Sophomores was to select class rings and the choice was satisfactory to all-a remarkable record. Shortly after the school term had begun, the annual Sophomore Reception was celebrated. On that memorable evening each second year student introduced his parents to his teachers and, restrained by a paternal hand, listened to the teacher either laud his scholarly attitude or despair his negligent one. It was a golden evening for some of usg for others, not so golden. ln October the Sophomore Class made its debut into society at the Big Brother and Sister Partyf' Nlarshalled by their sister class, the Seniors, the Sophomores were carefully guarded lest they be trod upon by the high and haughty Juniors. Nothing of the kind resulting, a most enjoyable time was had by all. Then things sailed uncventfully along until February 25th When the Sophomores displayed their acting ability by presenting the play and pageant. America In the Nlakingf' So you see in Work and in play Cnot a punb the Sophomores promise big thingsv for Holyoke High School.
