Our goal is reached. But ’tis not with rejoicing as one might imagine but with a great heart-felt pang that we realize that we must part — l)art never to gather as students of Manning High but always loyal to this beloved school which has meant so much to us in these last four years. We shall recall with a bit of sadness the good times enjoyed together, the Senior Play, and events which in reality will be for us never again. Our work now lies in different fields and we must part, bearing with us memories which will never cease to be cherished and significant of a great episode in our lives. It is to you, the seniors of next year and to the lower classmen, that we now give ,the honor of upholding the name of Manning that is so near and dear to our hearts. The Tiger Staff has thought it best to issue “The Cub” bimonthly next year as it, has this year, omitting the first two issues of the Tiger and running a Senior Year Book. By omitting the first two issues of the Tiger, we hope to build up “The Cub” to a paper of greater perfection and satisfaction. “The Cub” has been edited by “The Tiger Staff” and the staff that has been named will be responsible for the paper next year. “The Cub” is a school news sheet and we hope that the school will use it as such. We suggest now that next year the pupils express their opinions freely in and of the paper and on any important subject. It will be a paper of your own interests and will be accepted with a better grace by its subscribers. STAFF FOR 1926-1927 Ed ' itor-in-Chief — Palmer Raiipach, ’27 Faculty Advisor — E.

His thoughts are happy and bright. You who wonder at his brightness. You who doubt the joys of life. Go to the little blind boy there. Tell him to teach you aright. Ask him about the bright springtime. Think you that he cannot tell? Waste not time ’till you learn the truth, Perhaps I’ll learn it myself. I “Well, little boy, can you tell me How I can find the gold sun? I lost it one day when, slowly. My boy left when day was done. If you tell me, my boy, ’twill be The kindest deed you have done.” “I’m only a little blind boy But I know that spring has come. I can tell it by the blossoms. The birds, and glorious sun. How do I see them? I need not! The story is in the air. The birds are singing, the sun shining, The story is everywhere. What need to see or even hear ? Nature makes the season felt. Here is the secret; can’t you tell? Spring is in the heart itself.” Bernice Lester, ’27. A SKELETON FORTUNE In the distant hills of Varrez there stands a cabin entirely obscured to the outside world by a dense thicket of cottonwoods. On -the farther side of the cabin the opening of two dark can- yons with rough precipitous sides yawn their opinions of the surrounding coun- try and the small town in the distance. This dark, moss covered cabin was known to have once been the rendezvous of cutthroats and bandits. This gang of bandits had been broken up, but stories of it were still in circulation, and rewards for information of Ithe whereabouts of certain wealthy men were still offered. One day in the early spring a geol- ogist arrived in the town of Varrez to carry on his researches there and in the neighboring foothills. This man did not like society and desired to be alone. Consequently he tried to hire a cabin on the outskirts of the town for a month or two. To his disappoint- ment he coukt not find o ' ne. After much roaming about he found it neces- sary to content himself with bunking along with an old fellow by the name of Sanders. Now Steve Sanders did not often have boarders ; so he made the best of the occasion, entering glibly into numerous stories. “Wal, mister, tain’t much of a place I got here’ but sure hope you’ll take to it.” “I’d like nothing better and perhaps you can help me in my researches here.” “What do ya mean by research? Are ya lookin for someone here?” “No, I’m looking for a certain species of ore that I believe to be in these hills.” “Tain’t gold you’re lookin’ for, is it?” “No, not gold.” “Ahuh, I struck it rich once but the thieves busted me.” “You mean that the thieves stole your gold?” “Exactly.” “That’s mighty peculiar. Another old fellow told me the same thing.’’ “Wal, I tell you, there was a bunch of young bucks around here who tried to get rich (juick bj waylayin’ every- body that went out at night. But, say, young fellar, there were some mighty funny things as happened around when those fellars were doing business. Peo- ple disappeared like a shadow, leaving their estates, which were later sold by supposed relatives from the east ; but I still got my ’pinion that those guys could account for all that happened ’round here. Every bit o’ it. They sure had the sheriff wild.” Thus the talk ran on until far into the night. Early the next morning the two set out for the hills, speaking only in short gutturals as they rode side by side. After traveling in this manner for sev- eral hours through sagebrush and over slight hills, they entered a small glen which gradually grew into a large black canyon. ' The overhanging rocks shut out the first rays of light and made it necessary for them to travel with much precaution over the sharp rocks and gullies. The geologist dis- mounted several times to examine pieces of rock, but always shook his head and continued on. Soon the can- yon became lighter, thus enabling them to proceed more quickly through this dangerous passage. A very picturesque scene confronted them as the two emerged from the canyon. A moss covered cabin stood in a green glen. At the rear stood a large grove of cotton woods, screen- ing their view from the damp hill slopes below. The geologist stood in awe for a few moments, turned to Sanders, and then they cautiously and silently approached the cabin which showed no signs of habitation for several years. Sanders tried the door which in true Western style yielded to his Herculean strength. The two entered into the dark and musty rooms of which there were two. Sanders immediately opened the shut- ters and let in a flood of light. In the center of the room, which appeared to have been a kitchen, stood a small table which gave, by its spliced legs and battered top, evidence of numerous fights. On one side of the room was a small slab fire-place with gray ashes still present. A wide cup- board was lodged in one corner, and numerous boxes were strewn about the room, giving evidence of a hasty depar- ture. The next room bore all the earmarks of a bedroom. Great tiers of bunks were built into the wall. “How peculiar,” said Sanders, whose keen eyes had taken in the room in a glance. “The bunks are all numbered.” “So they are,” said the geologist as he brushed the dust away and per- ceived the number “19” in bold let- ters. Each bunk had a handle attached which made it convenient to pull the bunk from the wall into position. Sanders began at one end of the room and peered into each bunk in search of evidence of the unknowns. Leaping upon the lower bunks, he pulled the top ones into position and slammed them back again getting no satisfaction from his tiring work. After a while he had examined twelve and with a mighty heave con- taining a bit of anger, he pulled upon the handle of number 13. With a tre- mendous swish and a resounding thud 8 he sailed through the intervening space and through a large aperture in the floor. Simultaneously a terrible damp and musty odor reached the nostrils of the geologist, awakening him to the real- ity of what had happened. Creeping cautiously to the edge, the geologist peered into the Cimmerian darkness, seeing nothing, but catching the rhythmic breathing of the man below. “R ’R, Rope! D’ Down here,” stam- mered Sanders trying to compose him- self. The geologist immediately procured the rope and dangled a looped end for the unfortunate man to grasp. After considerable manoeuvering and work, Sanders was hauled up, frightened and begrimed. Rapid glances were exchanged and after gaining his faculties and breath, Sanders began to talk. “By George, I got skeert sailing down that a’way. Landed plumb into a grave yard over in Chinie. Phew” ! “Let’s get a look at that hole, ” said the geologist and was off after his torch. All that could be seen was a glitter- ing mass. Nothing definite was dis- cernible. “I’ll swear, I was all tangled up with a bunch of skeletons,” chattered San- ders, not entirely in a normal condi- tion. After considerable parleying Sanders permitted himself to be lowered into the hole with a torch to make a survey. “By cracky, I was right,” came the sonorous voice of Sanders from the depths of the hole. I got ’er doped out by Jiminy. Haul to, my hearty, and let me talk a bit.” Sanders was accord- ingly hauled up, and in hurried excited language he explained that the skele- tons were those of the missing men. This explanation was accepted and the two set to work, hauling the bones up in a blanket and arranging them on the floor as best they could. “Like a cross-word puzzle,” grinned Sanders under his sweat and tan. After the work was completed, a coroner was summoned, and the bones were properly cared for. The sheriff and his deputies identified the men as those who had been missing. The kindly sheriff gave the two explorers a tip to collect the rewards offered since it was perfectly legal. The next month Sanders and the geologist, who were by now bosom friends, employed themselves by col- lecting the rewards. “What a lucky tumble!” Francis Morong, ’26. 9 CLASS CE Prettiest girl Best looking boy Most popular boy Most popular girl Clown Nut Solon Musician Pest Grandfather Man hater Woman hater Saint Artist Vamp Sport Blusher Bluffers Elizabeth Stone Orator Baby Senior ILEHRITIES Dorothy Williams Francis Morong Lawrence Chase Helen Sullivan Albert Avery Albert Avery Hazel Manzer Mamie Adelman Albert Avery George Marlin Annette Boulais Stanley Bartniski Annette Boulais Robert Minchin Helen Davis Lawrence Wile Stanley Bartniski and Leonora Pollard George Marlin Mary Pasukonis WHAT THE POETS THINK ABOUT US Mamie Adelman — “Laugh and the world laughs with you; Weep and you weep alone.” Albert Avery — “Let Me Play the fool, With mirth and laughter let old wrinkles come.” Stanley Bartiniski — “Little I ask, my wants are few.” Annette Boulais — “Her heart is like a garden fair Where many pleasant blossoms grow.” Florence Brown — “Begone, dull Care, I prithee begone from me ; Begone, dull Care, thou and I shall never agree.” Section Lucy Brown — “For accuracy and lightning speed in the typewriting line.

She is conscientious about her work and is gen- erally amiable except when she is stepped on. ALBERT AVERY Avery is our pest, nut, and clown. He is worthy of these titles as you would readily see by his antics. One of his effective means of annoying the class was by being too eager to give out the spelling words when Miss Allen was absent. He has been a member of the baseball team this year. He also made a good Irishman in the Senior Pl ay. STANLEY BARTNISKI How Stanley ever got by Mr. Conary’s eagle eye for a football aspirant, we can’t imagine. Stanley has captured first place as our class blusher and seems to be somewhat of a woman-hater. He ought to succeed, however, because he always seems to be attending to business. 12 ANNETTE BOULAIS Annette is both class saint and class man-hater. In spite of misanthropic tendencies, however, she is very neat and attractive, and always looks just so. Those of us who have succeeded in penetrat- ing the wall of shyness and reserv e with which she ordinarily surrounds herself have found her a most admirable and agreeable companion. FLORENCE BROWN “Shrimp” is one of the smallest members of the class but is an example of the saying that “all good things come in small packages.” We can usually keep up with her, except when she gives oral themes in English class. LUCY BROWN Lucy is nearly as small as “Shrimp” and it is very rarely that one is seen without the other. She is very fond of commercial work and spends most of her time in the typewriting room. She can always be depended on to make herself useful. 13 KATHERINE CAMERON “Casey” is very demure, but nevertheless is gay and full of fun. She can hold her own with the best of us but is not quite so successful in concealing her fondness for masculine attention. LAWRENCE CHASE Chasey is the most popular boy of the class. His witty remarks always kept the rafters vibrating. He has served us nobly in many secretarial positions. He was also a member of the baseball team. MARION CUMMINGS Marion is a good, conscientious worker and will no doubt make a success in life in spite of the fact that she probably has more tardy marks opposite her name than any of the rest of us. 14 HELEN DAVIS Helen is our class vamp. She has time for other things, however, for she performs on the banjo in a ladies’ orchestra. Her voice is seldom heard unless she happens to be in a play. Hers seems to be a case where “actions speak louder than words.” On the whole she is a very capable and attractive girl. MINERVA DUNBAR “Min” is quiet and good natured. She made a very realistic Shylock in a stunt of her sophomore year. Other than that, we have not heard much from her. Perhaps she is waiting to surprise us later. EARL EWING Ewing has been our class leader for the past two consecutive years and has worked diligently for the good of the school. He had a part in the Senior Play and was certainly a fine addition to the cast. He has represented us in both football and base- ball. 15 ANNA GRANT Anna is a very amiable person whose principal sources of amusement to herself and her friends seem to be fancy dancing and acting foolish. We’re glad she caught up with us and is one of us at gradu- ation. GEORGE GREENBERG Here we have Greenberg, another member of our baseball squad. He is very quiet in class. We hardly know he is around until we hear that he has been correcting George Hayes’s spelling paper. GEORGE HAYES “Georgie” was the captain of the senior track team. He has served us well in football and track in the past years. He is a very quiet lad, but when he speaks he wants your attention. 16 LINCOLN HAYES “Link” is another lively fellow in our class. He used to play football, but has lately found that it is better sport to play around with the girls. He has been afflicted with various illnesses this year from pneumonia to measles, but received his sheepskin along with the rest of us. EARL HARDY “Early” seems to have blossomed into prominence during his senior year. He played the title role in the Senior Play and also had a Class Day part. He is always welcomed when we start a class meeting although his well founded arguments sometimes puzzle the class. He was also one whose voice was always heard in the physics class expounding some pet theory. THOMAS JIANAKOUNTZOS “Tommy” is the greatest fun-lover of the- class. Tell him a joke and see him laugh. Although this mirthful companion had a good time, he always seemed to have his Latin done. 17 ANTOLENA KMIECH “Lena ’ is one of the honor pupils of our class. She is quiet and studious, and always has her les- sons prepared. We love to watch the roguish twinkle in her eye when something amuses her, which gives evidence of a fun-loving disposition and which serves to offset the studiousness. RUTH LORD We have three Ruths in our class all of whom are quiet and retiring. This is one of them. She takes commercial subjects and likes her work, and ought to be successful in an office. GERTRUDE LOVELL “Gert” is one of our class sports. She is in fact a good all around girl, for she is as good in her school work as she is in tennis, skiing, and other sports. She also kept the audience roaring as she played the role of the would-be-suicide in our Senior Play. There’s only one thing she can’t do — read Burke aloud in class. 18 HAZEL MANZER Hazel is a very quiet appearing young lady, but how we should miss her if we did not have her to consult in all our studies — Latin particularly. Wc can think of only one mark to put opposite her name — she was one of those rash girls who stayed out of school the afternoon of the Junior Prom to have her hair waved. AUSTIN McCarthy “Mac” was our first string pitcher and one of the mainstays of the football team. He was always pre- pared in English and helped us over some hard spots by timely suggestions. GEORGE MARLIN George, our venerable class grandpa, is still tak- ing care of us. He managed to pull us safely out of the freshman class and has kept us right side up until now. George also has charge of the busi- ness end of the “Tiger” and has been very zealous in his efforts to make it a paying proposition. He has been indispensable in both class and school activ- ities. 19 ROBERT MINCHIN “Bob” is the class artist and has made some very clever sketches for our “Cub.” He had an important part in the Senior Play and made us all turn pale i)y his gruesome hanging. He is good natured and gets along with everybody, especially Avery. FRANCIS MORONG Francis is the handsomest boy in the class. He is also Editor-In-Chief of the “Tiger” and “Cub” and has carried out his studies in a very business- like manner. He is always busy, and has done much for the success of our paper. On him has fallen the difficult task of initiating “The Cub,” a task which he has admirably executed. His dry humorous remarks often amuse the seniors. HERBERT MORRILL Herbert is a very quiet, delicate appearing boy. He has a dry humor all his own. He is very ambi- tious and usually has his work done. He is one of the members of the class who are planning on a college career. 20 RUTH MIGHILL Ruth is one of our Rowley commuters. She had a part in the Senior Play as nurse which she acted to perfection. She also had a part in the Class Daj Play. In fact we have depended upon her in most of the school plays. She was a distinct addi- tion to the Physics Class and was not at all phased at being the only girl in the latter. RUTH NORMAN Here’s an Ipswich Ruth. She is a very frank and agreeable classmate, and we all missed her very much when she left us one year for the sunny South. She seems to be calm and self-possessed in spite of the color of her hair. RUTH PACE Here is another of our Ruths. This one is from Rowley. She doesn’t say very much, but writes interestingly and has had several of her literary attempts published in “The Tiger.” 21 MARY PASUKONIS Here is our class baby and a very rough baby she is. She came to us from Salem during our sopho- more year, but Salem’s loss has proved our gain, for she is a conscientious worker and has proved a real addition to the class. BARBARA PICKARD “Barb” is very quiet, but was honored by the class in being selected to help write and present the prophecy on Class Day. She always seems to have her work done and accomplishes it without any fuss. LENORA POLLARD “Nora” is a very beautiful young lady with a real talent for acting as she proved when she did so well in the difficult part of Madame Natchie in the Senior Play. She is also one of our bluffers and lives up to her title. That may be a clue as to why she is so good at acting or vice-versa. 22 ELIZABETH STONE “Bess” is our other bluffer. She always amuses the teachers and seniors with her dry humorous remarks. We wonder what she dreams about, for she always jumps when she hears her name called. HELEN SULLIVAN “Sullie” is our most popular girl, and our musi- cian. We don’t know what we should do without her at our socials. We expect her to be an opera singer when she grows up for she can warble quite well already. We might also mention her musical (?) laugh. DOROTHY WILLIAMS “Dot” is the prettiest girl of the class. She is the heroine in the Senior Play and her realistic weep- ing made every one fall for her. She is one of the girls in charge of the candy room, but that is only one of the reasons why we like her so well. LAWRENCE WILE “Joe” is the class sport. He has captained our football and baseball teams, and is close second to Lincoln Hayes in his diligent suing for the atten- tions of the ladies. 23 Name Nickname Pastime Appearance Ambition Favorite Expression I “ n w c g c o c c a c tS) 7Z S. r s o t 02 B, m ’c (- S « O 02 rs - S- c |, :: — sake!” ou read i t. 1 o Pm c - c 02 a 1 - ® c b; •5 C s o .2 « 2-� •,. i 5 :: OJ ;.

I O 3 CX Graduation Essays THE BASIS OF CITIZENSHII The first man, or primitive man, was practically an animal. He lived in utter wretchedness, roaming the wilds, and when his appetite prompted him, he would feast upon rodents, roots, and occasionally a fish. He knew no laws, for there were none. He used no de- vices for there were none. He lived in ignorance of the great cause for which man was created. But now we are a marvelously developed race — a race that has studied and is studying the philosophic as well as the practical side of life. After con- siderable development man began to perceive something of the purpose of life. He realized that he was intended for something greater than his own narrow scope had previously allowed him to visualize. He realizes now that it is his duty to work for the great cause of civilization or to help to make the world a better place in which to live. You see we are engaged in a mag- nificent quest. The savage man did not know what he was here in the world for. He did not know how to cooperate with his fellows in order to carry out any useful enterprise, — least of all to join hands with men on the other side of the world. Consequently he did nof understand the meaning of the word “happiness,” knowing only the animal pleasure of a well satisfied appetite or of engaging in war-like enterprises. With a complex civilization, however, has come greater capacity for enjoy- ment as man has gradually made the earth serve his purpose. But with the possibilities of greater happiness has come also a greater responsibility and it is that with which we are concerned. As the nature and character of any government depends primarily on the character of its citizens we may assume that upon us, as a nation, rests the responsibility of rearing citizens ca- pable of carrying on the work which was so nobly begun by our forefathers. There are three institutions gener- ally regarded as concerned in the train- ing of citizens: the Church, the School, and the Home. Without minimizing in any degree the importance of the first two in this great work, we have ample evidence that they are powerless with- out the cooperation of the home. The Church and the Church Schools never see the prospective citizens of this great republic unless the parents see fit to send them to Church, and it seems sometimes as if the majority were showing less and less inclination to do so. Lest we seem too pessimistic in cur attitude, however, we might men- tion the experiment working out suc- cessfully in Rhode Island in which pupils at specified times are sent reg- ularly to the Church Schools for re- figious instruction. The school has a little advantage over the Church. Attendance is compul- sory. Still the school can only carry on the good work of the home or make a feeble attempt, at best, to counteract poor home training, or to supply a lit- tle where there is none. The training in the home then, we see to be the most important training w hich a child receives, and is funda- mental in developing citizenship. There are many characteristics upon which emphasis might be placed in the home, but we have time to consider only tliB 26 two which seem to us most important: obedience and honor, both of which will have a direct bearing upon the child’s later life. The child cannot be taught too soon to obey. If he cannot obey the commands of his parents, it is inevitable that he will fail to obey the laws of his country later on. Why do we have so many youthful criminals today ? According to most authorities on the subject, it is because they have not been taught to respect law in the home and it is, therefore, not strange that they fail to obey and respect a higher law. “The recent crime wave and all its disastrous effects” says John Howard, “are the result of a disorderly home govern- ment.” I wonder if every parent in this town knows where his child is every night, and sees to it that he is at home at a seasonable hour. Chil- dren not yet of high school age, cer- tainly not of an age to be beyond pa- rental control, have been known to be out late at night, and to have gone be- yond the bounds of committing merely mischievous acts. Next in importance to obedience in the home training for citizenship is, perhaps, honor. A country could no exist without honorable citizens. It isn’t even necessary to dwell upon the importance of honor as a necessary quality of a good citizen, for everybody realizes the value of being a person whose word and act can be trusted. The School and Church, if it has the chance, can supplement training in honor, but they can only supplement, and their work is much simplified if the child has been taught from infancy the true meaning of honor. A man trained to obey and to respect law, and who possesses a high sense of personal honor can never go far wrong in life and ought to be a credit to his coun- try. Passing on to the third institution which furnishes very valuable training in citizenship, we find that the School provides a more extensive training than we can conceive. The school is like a nation. It has its own government and its leaders. The leaders of the school will become the leaders of the com- munity, state, and perhaps the repub- lic. At school they learn that they must control themselves. It would be a tumultuous school-room if everyone did as he pleased. The teachers must maintain order or it would be impos- sible to accomplish anything. It is the same in the world. If the country is peaceful and law abiding, there will be much prosperity; but when the people become riotous and discontented, they are destroying the serenity of the na- tion and consequently its prosperity. Not only is the pupil taught these principles of good citizenship, but he is taught and comes to understand the different branches of his government which are varied and complex. He is taught to believe that the representa- tives of the people are working for the good of the country and not for any political end. The entire school popu- lation of today will be the citizens of tomorrow and it will be their duty to uphold the principles for which our fathers have lived and fought and so nobly died. And now we may say that the child who has been taught the true meaning of obedience and honor in the home, and of self control and cooperation in the school, and who has been instructed 27 in the machinery of government, has a good background for his career as a citizen. Francis Morong. THE COST OF EDUCATION Before we can talk about the cost of education we must first know what education is. Thomas Henry Huxley, a scientist, has given us perhaps the best definition obtainable. He says that “the chief purpose of education is to train the mind and will to do the work you have to do when that work is to be done, whether you want to do it or not.” If this is an accurate defini- tion of education and if training in school helps a person to do a specified task at the moment it should be done, then you and I and all of us should give the cause of education our whole- hearted support. We need more peo- ple in the world who can settle down to a task at a definite time and. stick to it until it is accomplished. It is not an easy thing to do ; in fact it is about the hardest thing which we have to learn to do. This is where the cost comes in, cost in time and effort as well as in money to the town and to the pupil. Comparisons are perhaps the best ways of showing the cost of education and also the manner in which the citi- zens respond when asked to donate to a cause helping education. We shall see, I think; that the cost of education in every case is exceeded by the return. Let us consider first the cost to the town to educate its future citizens. The town has to supply books and necessities to educate the pupil accord- ing to modern ideas and modern meth- ods which are constantly replacing the old. From the year 1916 to the year 1920 the average expense for educat- ing the pupils of the schools of Ips- wich was $50,772.80. The expense for the same work from 1920-1925 was $59,560.32, a difference of $8,787.52 which shows that modern times call for better and more extensive equip- ment and also shows that there are more children in the public schools to benefit by an education. Now let us consider the individual. From 1916 to 1920 the average cost per pupil was $47.40 and from 1920 to 1925 the aver- age was $55.56, an average increase of $8.16 per pupil. Besides the cost for the pupil is the cost for buildings and their upkeep. Modern times demand modern schools and modern schools de- mand money. We do not think any- thing of going to a store and spending a dollar or two, but if we are asked to give a dollar towards a new school we are insulted and we do not give the money. Statistics show that in 1925, we spent $27 for joy riding, pleasure resorts, and races, and only $1.29 for religious work. We spent $5.00 for jewelry and $0.08 for professors’ sal- aries. We spent $45 for luxurious foods and $10 on public schools. We spent $0.51 for firearms and $0.18 for foun- tain pens. We spent $2.58 on diamonds and $0.57 for typewriters. We spent $4.15 on near beer and $1.10 on edu- cational books. We need no more con- vincing proof than these figures of our short sightedness and of our willing- ness to spend lavishly on things which can yield us only temporary pleasure, at the same time begrudging a suffi- cient sum for those things of lasting and permanent worth. We are greatly indebted to R. H. Manning for the high school which we 28 now occupy, but we feel it has served its purpose and outlived its period of usefulness. The building is not mod- ern, it is not large enough for the num- ber of pupils which occupy it: it has no recreation room; its laboratory is poorly equipped ; the assembly hall has to be used for a classroom; and the school library is about one-fifth as large as it should be. With a new building the principal and the faculty would be able to work more efficiently and to produce better graduates. With a gymnasium and equipment, better athletes would constitute the teams, and there would be greater competition between our school and outside schools. It is in the high school that the young people really begin their career; it is in the high school that we learn how to live and to get along with others ; it is there that we learn to cooperate with and to be guided by others so that we may succeed; and it is there that we get our background for a start in life. How important it is then that we get the best start pos- sible by being provided with a modern building and equipment, which are regarded in educational circles today as necessities. Nor is it all a matter of paying out, for although the town does get a money return later in the form of taxes paid by prosperous citizens it has helped to educate, there is a greater return that cannot be reckoned in terms of mone- tary value, but which is of much greater and permanent value to the town. Its greatest assets and reward are the loyal citizens who have been trained- for leadership in its schools. It is in this way that the town is repaid with inter- est for the cost of educating its youth. But on the other hand, if it costs the town something to educate the pupils, it costs the pupil something to be edu- cated. The greater share of the burden of the expense of supporting the pupil during the school years rests primarily, of course, upon the parents, most of whom do not hesitate to make personal sacrifices to keep their children in school. However, among the boys especially, ' there are very many who have already learned how to work out- side of school hours and to help sup- port themselves. It is not difficult for these boys who have thus learned something of the value of money and who help to defray their own expenses during the educational period to realize something of the cost of education. Many of them, too, are sacrificing (for the present) regularly paying positions because they realize that the extra years spent in school will increase their earning capacity later. The pupil, however, has to sacrifice more than money in order to secure an education. Time and effort are no small items of expenditure on his part. There are so many occasions when sports and the great outdoor world ara calling and when books, seem deadly dull. But if he has learned the valu3 of an education (which brings us back again to Huxley’s definition) he will stick to the books until the lesson is learned, and in so doing he has learned one of the greatest lessons in life. In a very true sense, of course, one’s educa- tion is never completed. However, when one has finished his formal school- ing whether it be terminated by high school, normal school, college, or uni- versity, he has something which no other person nor any mischance can ever take away from him. And it is the knowledge that he possesses some- 29 thing worth infinitely more than any- thing that can be reckoned in terms of money values that constitutes his re- turn for the cost of his education. We have seen then whether we con- sider the cost of education from the point of view of the town or of the pupil, that no matter how great the cost may be, it is always exceeded by the return in both money and satisfac- tion. We can make no better invest- ment. Let us not begrudge, therefore, any money, time, or effort that we can spend in behalf of this great cause of education. Earl Ewing. “PALMA NON SINE PULVERE” “Palma non Sine Pulvere,” no prize without a struggle, is our class motto. Everybody realizes the truth of this motto, but we need to be reminded of it frequently in these days of ease when people are apt to forget that the only things in life worth having are those worth striving for. There seems to be a regrettable tendency even among some modern educators to believe that everything must be made pleasant and interesting for pupils in school and to discard those subjects which they regard as merely disciplinary, such as Latin, Greek, literature, and others. For the few who fail to recognize their own indebtedness to these studies, however, there are countless others who, in the broader culture and ideal- ism they have obtained, realize that they possess treasures all too rare in this age and country of material wor- shippers and of commercialism. They have not forgotten, however, the period of drudgery which they passed through before the glories of an ancient or even a modern literature dawned upon them. So it is in ev ery field of life where there is anything to be accomplished. Mo.it musicians can doubtless look back to days when they drummed out uninter- esting scales for hours at a time. Suc- cessful authors, most of them at least, have experienced a discouraging pe- riod of training and very often failures. Such examples might be multiplied indefinitely, but let us pass on to ob- serve examples in the history of our country as a whole where success was attained only through a struggle. First, we have the Pilgrims who came here for religious and political freedom. They had many struggles to contend with, — those with the Indians, those against disease, a nd those for food. Their task was not easy, but in the midst of hardships which, for us, would be unendurable, they never lost sight of their purpose and attained it for themselves and for posterity. Second, we have the Revolutionary War in which we struggled for the peace and safety of our country. We had been deprived of the rights which had been promised us in our charters, and those rights were deemed worth all the strug- gle of the disheartening days of the war. Third, we have the example or the Civil War in which there was a struggle for the preservation of the Union and out of which came a glorious and indissoluble nation. For the fourth example, we have the more recent World War. On the outcome of this, the democracy of the whole world depended. These were all bitter strug- gles, but in the end we were rewarded with success. All men who have gained national or public distinction have done so through their own efforts. We can truly say 30 that our government has been governed by self made men who have risen to high positions through struggling against many difficulties. Their own efforts trained them for great and good service and well qualified them to rule our nation. Grant, Lincoln, and Roose- velt are among those who have gained through hard work the highest posi- tion which this country has to offer. We all know the struggles of Lincoln during his early life and during the Civil War. Grant was made President as a reward for his war services. He was a military genius and did a great deal toward the success of the North- ern cause. While he was in command of all the Union forces, his soldiers were stimulated by his energy. His success in battle was due to the fact that he kept struggling, apparently los- ing, but in reality gaining inch by inch, and never letting up on Lee’s army. The struggles and success of Roosevelt are all well known to us also. He him- self said that his “success was not due to any special gift or genius, but to patience and laborious persistence.” Other great men have also gained success through struggling. Edison, one of the greatest of American iiiv en- tors, was, at the age of twelve, a news- boy. He studied in all his spare time and experimented with electricity. He was alw’ays struggling and many times worked far into the night. We, also, shall be successful if we do not let ourselves be discouraged at the thought of hard work. Never have so many opportunities been offered. We have many opportunities for education and preparation which will fit us for whatever we want to do. If we but use these, we are bound to accomplish what we planned to, and we shall be rewarded with the satisfaction that comes from knowledge of a task well done. We must be willing, however, to per- severe in our efforts and to sacrifice some pleasures. Think of the sacrifices great men and women have made. Many of them were willing to sacrifice even their lives, to accomplish what they had set out to do. We may not be called upon to sacrifice our lives, but we must be willing to sacrifice some pleas- ures in return for the things most worth while in life. Others have felt that there was n o sacrifice too great for the prize they were seeking. There is success in everything if we are only willing to work for it. Those who are the poorest may gain the most fame and success. Their efforts will overcome all obstacles. For them dif- ficulties will only become the occasion for greater struggling. The way to success for us, the class of 1926 , may be made easier and shorter by having a single ,strong aim and by struggling and struggling hard, keeping ever in mind that there is no prize without a struggle. “Palma non Sine Pulvere.” Hazel Manzer. THE VALUE OF THE STUDY OF MUSIC A comparison of the origin of music with that of other arts such as archi- tecture, sculpture, and poetry shows that the latter have a definite begin- ning wdiereas the source of music is not certain. Passing rapidly over the history of music, we learn that the ear- liest musiq was without doubt vocal, and the rhythmical element in music soon led to the invention of the drum, tam- bour, and castanets by the primitive man. Next came the invention of cer- 31 tain wind instruments, probably sug- gested by sounds in nature or by blow- ing on the horn of some animal. These instruments were the flute, Pan’s pipe, and the horn. The Greeks were the first people to honor music as one of the highest arts, and under them for the first time in history music attained a complete artis- tic development. The early church music was for the most part borrowed from the East. The first attempts at harmony were made in the ninth cen- tury. At the opening of the seven- teenth century there was a revolution in music, in which century the genius tended to expansion and discovery. The rise of the opera and orchestra gave a new outlook to the whole world of music, and although their progress in development was slow, they are today the highest types of music we have. Music has a three fold value. In the first place, it has cultural value. A knowledge of music aids in the appre- ciation of good literature. It adds to a person’s enjoyment of poetry. The ear trained to appreciate music will more readily detect the musical qual- ities and rich melody of such poetry as Tennyson’s and Shelley’s, and will even detect, to a lesser degree per- haps, the same qualities in the many fine examples of melodious prose which we have in the hands of the great mas- ters of English. The resemblance be- comes even more marked when we recol- lect that the same vocabulary is used to define essentials in both a literary and a musical composition. We use the terms melody, harmony, variety, and symmetry interchangeably in the two arts. Music is also cultural from an histori- cal as well as a literary standpoint. Through music we are able to trace the manners of a particular age or a par- ticular people. For example, the music of the eighteenth century reflects the (juiet, leisurely life of the people of that cejitury. Russian music, on the other hand, with its haunting melan- choly, exhibits all the phases of misery and wretchedness through which that unhappy people has passed. We might mention here, also, American jazz, unfortunately the only type of music which is recognized as distinctly Amer- ican, which was an outgrowth of the hectic conditions of the World War and which exemplifies, morally as well as musically the fact that emphasis has been placed upon the wrong beat. The history of music also teaches us about the lives of the composers, and as in literature a man’s works become much more interesting after we know something of his life and experiences, so in music we can appreciate the way in which the music of Bach, Beethoven, and Grieg expresses their souls’ emo- tions. It is interesting to note in this connection, also that those composers who have experienced and suffered most have given us our best music. In addition to the literary and histor- ical value gained from the study of music, there is a third and more prac- tical value, perhaps, in the fact that the study stimulates mental activity. When a person is playing a composi- tion, the mind has to grasp many notes in a second. A certain noted composer in playing his waltz has to play about thirty notes a second. Consider at how great a speed the mind must work to accomplish so much. Music, however, has emotional value as well as cultural value. It stimulates the mind first to listening, then think- 32 ing, then action. Different kinds of music appeal to different people and to the same people in different moods. For instance, a tired business man would not perhaps appreciate, after a particularly trying day, the tempestu- ous mood of Chopin’s Polonaises. On the other hand, he would without doubt find the Nocturnes of the same com- poser restful. Children are natural music lovers. A child first listens to a piece and then its feet begin to trip along, keeping time with the music. Music also helps people to understand and sympathize with one another bet- ter because it is a lan guage which doesn’t have to be translated, and which in some form or another can be uni- versally understood. It appeals directly to the emotions as is well shown by the following quotation: “Art has to do with emotions, not with ideas, and the great defect of literature is that it can only express emotions by means of ideas. Music is a language which the soul alone understands but which the soul can never translate. Litera- ture can appeal to the soul only through the mind. Music goes direct.” It helps, moreover to form clubs and to bring people together. This is more evident in Europe than in America be- cause the American people are too busy running after the almighty dollar to think seriously of music. In the third place, music has, in addition to cultural and emotional value, a beneficial effect upon the morals. This is proved by the fact that music is now being introduced into prisons. The following incident will show that “Music hath charms to soothe the sav- age breast.” Recently in Chicago there was a class of pupils in the grammar grades composed of what you could truthfully call “rowdies,” coming from the slums of the city. The teacher there couldn’t do anything with the boys until the principal of the school suggested trying music. The teacher now finds that by letting the pupils have all the music they want, the class is one of the best behaved classes in the whole building. Not long ago my attention was called to the following quotation, which I think is very beautiful, and which sums up and illustrates the power of music to express the depths of human exper- ience. “Servant and master am I ; servant of those dead, and master of those liv- ing. Through me spirits immortal speak the message that makes the world weep, and laugh, and wonder, and worship. “I tell the story of love, the story of hate, the story that saves, and the story that damns. I am the incense upon which prayers float to Heaven. I am the smoke which palls over the field of battle where men lie dying with me on their lips. “I am close to the marriage altar, and when the graves onen I stand near- by. I call the wanderer home, I rescue the soul from the depths, I open the lips of lovers and through me the dead whisper to the living. “One I serve as I serve all ; and the king I make my slave as easily as I subject his slave. I speak through the birds of the air, the insects of the field, the crash of waters on rock-ribbed shores, the sighing of the wind in the trees, and I am even heard by the soul that knows me in the clatter of wheels on city streets. “I know no brother, yet all men are my brothers; I am the father of the 33 best that is in them, and they are fathers of the best that is in me; I am of them, and they are of me. For I am the instrument of God. I am Music.’ ' Antolena Kmiech. CLASS DAY PARTS EMBARKING ON THE SEA OF KNOWLEDGE BY CREW OF 1926 The good ship “Career” sailed out of port in the early part of September 1922 with an additional crew of over fifty young men and women. Now this ship is a sturdily built vessell, and it certainly needed to be, as it was sail- ing into the roughest and deepest of waters, the mighty “Sea of Knowledge.” Before this time many members of previous crews had been lost in the turbulent sea. The storms and ob- stacles which have to be overcome are numberless, and only a select few weather the gales. ' The width of this expanse is not to be compared. It is so wide that scientists have not been able to record it in miles. Therefore, we decided to time one lap of our journey as four years and more if need be. The four years we divided into single years and elected a leader for each. The first year, after a month out of port, we elected George Marlin as our Captain. As it later proved, we couldn’t have securedi a better man. Special training was provided on board, and under the stony glare of our home room instructor, fun-making was sub- dued. Discipline was established with very little effort on the part of this teacher. Now don’t think that we didn’t have any time off, for we did. And in this spare time we were constantly besieged by the senior crew and thrown into the hold (otherwise the ventilators), or put through the Hot Oven. Woe be to the fellow who showed the yellow streak under this chastisement. He was for- ever pestered. Socials were held off and on which didn’t prove a great success the first year. As I told you, the Sea of Knowledge was a stormy sea. I repeat it in the fact that we had four severe storms that year and four every year thereon. These storms were in the form of pen, paper, ink, and examination. The crew always looked distressed when they saw them appearing. Some of the crew got sea sick and we had to send them back. This year we had some especially brilliant pupils, and we are sorry to have lost the majority of them. They were Mary Frazer, Fred Twaragowsky, Ida Rand, Antolena Kmiech, and Hazel Manzer — all in the 90-100% group. The second year was ushered in by the addition of two new ensigns other- wise known as teachers. We were sorry at the expiration of this year to have one leave us, as we all liked her. The appreciation of the fine work of George Marlin was shown in his elec- tion for a second term as captain. Social activities were somewhat bet- ter. We participated in circuses, shows, and general stunts. We had some excep- tionally good animals in our class and some of them didn’t need to dress up. The wax statue show was particularly well presented with Miss Dunbar star- ring as Shylock and four of the others making fine sets of Siamese twins. This is the only time I have ever seen Ewing work. 34 The third year was the big year in almost everything. Earl Ewing acted as captain and filled the position most ably. A great deal of work was accom- plished by the class as a whole. The feminine voters beat the boys on most questions we proposed, because they held the majority, but outside of that we got along peaceably. The only thing that could cheat the girls out of the last word was an echo. This year for once the social events were a success. Miss Blodgett’s “Baby Show” went off beautifully with Avery capturing the prize for being the best looking and having the sweetest dis- position. Mr. Conary, one of the judges, got real peeved when Baby Grant called him “Da Da.” I wonder why ! ! ! As for the Junior Prom, well that speaks for itself. A howling success is about the only term in which to define it. But, a warning to other classes. Tell the girls to get their hair curled after school hours or to expect dis- astrous results. Our standing at the end of this year determined whether or not we were to be in the senior crew next term. Everybody studied hard, and all came through with flying colors, except those that sailed back. The fourth and last lap of our jour- ney loomed up before us. The dream of ten or twelve years had come true. We were Seniors ! Even the added weight of senioral dignity, however, was not always suffi- cient to dispense with the humble task of deck scrubbing, the decks in this case being black, boards adjoining the sides of the ship. Other menial tasks were occasionally assigned us, and our bunks were always subjected to rigid inspection. We regret to state that our class vamp had the reputation of occupying the most untidy bunk. She reformed in that respect, however, as the year progressed. A large percentage of the class showed up for senior play trial. That is one event into which next year’s crew should come with full force. You will never regret it. In spite of other attrac- tions on the night of the performance of the play, the name, “The Suicide Spe- cialist,” did not scare away any appre- ciable number. Nor was it as lugu- brious as it sounds, judging from the hilarity of the audience, particularly during the darkened scene when the dead came to. We hope no one has since been led to try any of the meth- ods suggested that evening. Although Hardy made a successful doctor, he was so slow in practice that a certain wise-cracker suggested an undertaker’s job as his life work. And Avery — wow! — did you notice how he served the punch? Just like a pro- fessional bootlegger. Now there is Ewing. Can you get a much better looking professor than that? Fortunately we have tender hearted teachers in this school, for Minchin, tossed and thrown around all year as he has been by Avery, was rescued by one of them and taken under her pro- tecting wing. The poor boy had been pounded so much that he was too stiff to stand up when called upon to recite. We recommend a nursing bottle for him. As the days went by and June came, the air appeared to get dryer. That was a sign that we were nearing land. And lo, about the middle of the month we weighed anchor in Manning Straits. This meant that we were to separate. 35 each going his own way. We did not realize in the beginning what strong ties of friendship would be formed or how dear our school would become to us, but, although we regret having to de- part, the memory of the happy times enjoyed here will remain with us always. Lawrence Chase. GIFTS TO GIRLS I never had much luck and the lit- tle bit I do have is hard luck. It is this very same luck that conferred on me the task of finding for each girl of the class of 1926 some appropriate gift. It is said that everything comes to him who works. With this thought in mind and recollecting a story heard in child- hood concerning a treasure buried by the famous Captain Kidd in some spot on my premises, I grasped a shovel in one hand and a pick in the other and set to work. After many hours of sys- tematic digging I hit something hard which, when my excavations had been completed, proved to be a priceless antique chest. After much tugging, pounding, and wrenching I got it open. What a motley array of treasure ! “These,” thought I, “will be just the things to bestow on the fair members of the class.” Behold the results! For a small person, Florence Brown, who causes more or less disturbance when she walks on hardwood floors, one pair of rubber heels. To Mamie Adelman, whose pedal extremities are very tender, one pack- age of corn plasters. Helen Davis, I think, is a sporty indi- vidual. We trust she will find use for this “Lincoln” as she has already found a use for another of the same name. A sphinx is supposed to be silent, but Annette Boulais has a few jumps on him. We award this giant cannon cracker to assist her in making some noise. It is an honor indeed to present these dumb bells to Gertrude Lovell to pro- vide exercise and to make her Hardy. Hazel Manzer just loves to do Latin. She likes it so well that she does hers and everyone else’s. We hope she will find this interlinear translation useful in the future. ' Ruth Pace and Ruth Mighill live in God’s wide open spaces. When it snows, they are cut off from communi- cation with the outside world, but with the diligent use of these snow shovels they may dig a passageway out and incidentally develop some muscular strength. To Ruth Norman, the Titian blond of the senior class, a wig which will enable her to wear any color she feels like wearing. The star actress of the senior class, Lenora Pollard receives this gold star as a token of her histrionic ability. Minerva Dunbar receives this Kiddie Kar to vary the monotony of riding a bicycle all the time. Barbara Pickard will never be tall, but she may see the world just the same if she makes use of this steplad- der. Mary Pasukonis will need this um- brella to protect her from the Hale. Anna Grant receives both a calendar and a colander so she may study them and prevent confusion of the terms in the future. She told us in class one day to put bananas in a calendar. Ruth Lord just burns up pencils do- 36 ing shorthand. We hope this one will last. Dorothy Williams likes variety. We therefore contribute some spice to her life. To Elizabeth Stone one pair of glass- es so that when she is riding she may be able to distinguish between a white and a colored person. To Helen Sullivan, the class musi- cian, we donate this piano. Lucy Brown spends all her available time in the typewriting room. Now that she is leaving, we present her this typewriter to fill the vacancy and to keep her from being homesick. To Katherine Cameron we give a telephone for private use so that she won’t keep other people waiting for the line while she talks with Ewing. Marion Cummings is the champion when it comes to being late. Here is one package of cure for sleeping sick- ness guaranteed to get her anywhere she wants to go on time (alarm clock.) To Antolena Kmiech, our treasurer, who has given evidence of a frugal na- ture, we give this penny bank so that she may go on collecting pennies. We hope she may do it as successfully as she collected class dues. The other treasures — rare jewels, precious stones, and so forth — found in Captain Kidd’s chest were too val- uable to be bestowed recklessly upon even as fair a group of young ladies as you see before you. However, I am guarding the remaining contents care- fully with the intention of realizing enough value upon their sale to build a new high school. Perhaps it will be ready for occupancy next September. George Marlin. GIFTS TO BOYS One day in June, I donned old duds And joyfully mixed some good soap suds. With pipe and breath I began blowing bubbles. Thus trying to shake my class day troubles. Each bubble burst, as hubbies do. But lo! a scene was brought to view Disclosing a form or gift so rare To give to the senior boys (if I dare.) The first as it began to fall Displayed our pest Avery throwing a ball. It hit it’s mark, but for once returned To give the blow he had rightly earned. (Return ball.) Bartniski’s voice grows weaker and weaker ; . The bubble formed a hoarse loud speaker. Chase is very popular in his own peculiar way ; I saw him reading Dr. Eliot’s “Fif- teen Minutes a Day. Ewing needn’t borrow from Hardy any more. For he was driving his own car to familiar Turkey Shore. (Automobile) Greenberg’s eyesight, so we fear, must be growing rather poor. These glasses ought to serve to keep blindness from his door. You remember, surely, no matter how strong the light. He never could see well enough to correct Hayes’s spelling right. And Hayes’s mistakes in spelling can 37 be counted by the score; This dictionary should keep him from making any more. As bubble number seven broke, it showed Lincoln in the act Of tormenting peaceful classmates with a pointed thumb tack. (Box of thumb tacks) The eighth disclosed Earle Hardy por- ing o’er a fashion book, For he knows how to make a dress even down to the very last hook. (Fashion book) Next a speedometer came plainly into view For Thomas so he won’t talk faster than other people do. Marlin on parliamentary law informs his classmates dumb; Bubble number ten showed a manual under his thumb. (Manual on Par- liamentary Law) Baseball, it seems, is destined to be McCarthy’s fate, For he was shown surrounded by a pitcher, box, and plate. When Morrill does physical training, the leaders look disdainful; Perhaps this bottle of liniment will make his joints less painful. The best looking boy in the senior class is called by name Morong; We hope this mirror will show no change as the years roll swiftly on. Minchin has a gift worth money if he’d sell it; He was busily mixing paints upon a painter’s palette. Wile deserts us Fridays; he has other fish to fry. This string of fish we give him to add to his supply. I saw my bubbles vanish and fall upon the earth. But you now have what they con- tained at just what they are worth. Gertrude Lovell CLASS WILL Be it remembered that we the class of 1926 of Ipswich in the Common- wealth of Massachusetts being of sound mind and memory but knowing the un- certainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament hereby revok- ing all former wills heretofore made.

To Roger Lord, leadership of an or- chestra for next year. To Ellen Dov , a Sheppard’s crook to match one of those heretofore men- tioned. To Ruth Humphrey, the position of one who is always a little more gener- ous to “Tige” than any one else. To Virgene Hamilton, a duster that she may not have to use her clothing to dust her desk.

In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal in the presence of three witnesses declare this to be our last will this 23d day of June in the year one thousand nine hundred and twenty six. Class of 1926. On this 23d day of June A. D. 1926, Class of 1926 of Ipswich, Massachu- setts, signed the foregoing instrument in our presence, declaring it to be their last will and thereafter as witnesses we three at their request in their presence, and in the presence of each other, here- tofore subscribe our names. Earl Ewing, Pres. Francis Morong, Vice Pres. Earle D. Hardy. 40 TEN YEARS HENCE Time: 1936. Place: Grand Central Station, New York. Characters: Dorothy Williams, Bar- bara Pickard. Dorothy : Oh, hello ! Why, Barb ! Well, this sure is a surprise. How are you, and what are you doing? What time does your train leave? Barbara: My goodness! don’t ask me so many questions all at once or Pll never be able to answer all of them. Pm fine and Pm just leaving for my vacation. My train leaves in three- quarters of an hour. Dorothy : Goody I Mine leaves in about an hour. I thought that I was going to have an awfully dull time, but it will be heaps of fun talking over old times. I wonder what all our class- mates are doing. Perhaps between us we’ll be able to account for most of them. Barbara : Why, yes, I know what some of them are doing. Only the other day I met Lucy Brown, who happened to be visiting in the city but who holds down the weighty position of head of the commercial department of the new Rowley High School. Ipswich pupils, by the way, are still going to the same old building. She told me that she had seen Ruth Mighill in knickers, khaki shirt, broad felt hat, and with a knapsack flung over her shoulder, en route in her non stop hike from Port- land, to San Francisco. All business was suspended when she passed through Rowley and all the school chil- dren were dismissed to witness that part of the trip which took her through her old home town. Ruth Pace, in nurse’s uniform, was following on behind in a flivver containing a medi- cine chest plentifully supplied with foot bandages and corn plasters. Dorothy: Yes, that reminds me that quite a few of our classmates have gone out for sports. Funny, I never realized we were such a sporty bunch, did you? I was interested to see that George Hayes won the Marathon this year. “Joe” Wile is another one. He’s the star catcher of the “Pirates” and Aus- tin McCarthy is a noted pitcher on the same team. Barbara: Besides having quite a few out for sports, we have a good representation of the class who have taken up music for a profession. The other day I went with a friend of mine to a restaurant on Fifth avenue and on the menu card I noticed that Avery’s Agony Artists were to play. There was something familiar about the jingling alliteration of the name, so I was not surprised to see George Marlin take his place at the piano and Avery at the drum. They certainly had improved since the time when they first played at a school social. Dot, you ought to come over and hear my new radio. I just got it the other day and the first orchestra I heard was that of Helen Davis. She was broadcasting her most popular song, “Just A Vamp,” from WNAC. Dorothy : Mamie Adelman has taken up music also and is now first violin- ist in the Victoria Orchestra. I don’t believe her feet are as tender as they were in the old days, when a certain rough boy in the class stepped on them, because she was keeping time with one of them. Helen Sullivan has graduated from Boston Conservatory of Music. Besides giving lessons, she plays the organ at the M etropolitan evenings. 41 Barbara : Oh — Dot. How do like my marcel? Dorothy: Swell — who did it? Barbara: Minerva Dunbar. She has a fashionable beauty parlor on Fifth Avenue and is patronized by all the wealthy New York people. That’s how I happened to go to her. Just as I was coming out of Minerva’s parlor I met Leonora Pollard going up to have a wave and a chat with an old friend. She is connected with the Repertory Theatre of Boston, which has just com- pleted its eleventh successful season, and was in New York preparing to sail soon for Europe. You remember she was always good at acting and had a part in most of our school plays. Dorothy: Sure, I remember. Say, Barb! What do you suppose Hardy is doing now? It won’t be hard to guess, for he was always doing it in High School. Barbara : (Pause and then) Manicur- ing? Dorothy: Yes, that’s just it. He is running a manicure parlor in the North End, Boston, and his shingle reads, “Manicuring — Right to the Point.” He is now able to get his customers’ finger nails into just such a point as he was always striving to get his own, back in 1926, and it doesn’t seem strange that Gertrude Lovell, who is an English teacher in Waltham, is his best cus- tomer. Ba rbara: Oh — someone else has also put out a shingle, for when I first came to New York I discovered on one of the down town streets a sign over a neat little shop which read, “Tasty Pastry — Come in and Try It — R. Nor- man, Proprietor.” I was so anxious to see if it were my old school friend Ruth Norman that I hurried right in and sure enough in white apron and cap I saw Ruth standing over a kettle of hot fat frying doughnuts. She told me that Mary Pasukonis had graduated from Essex Aggie and is now running the Pasture Acre Farm in Rowley and Mary keeps her supplied with fresh eggs and milk. Dorothy: My! But I’m glad I met you this afternoon for I just love to find out what our classmates are doing. You knew, didn’t you, that Katherine Cameron is working in a telephone of- fice? I suppose now she can call ’up Earl Ewing whenever she feels like it, although I guess once in a while the subscribers kick because they have a hard time getting the operator. You remember, too, don’t you, how her father once put a sign on the family telephone reading “Long Private Calls Positively Forbidden?” Perhaps after June 24th she won’t have to call so often. Barbara: What’s Earl doing? Dorothy : He’s manager of Bolles’ Store and is making good money, so “Casey” says. Barbara: Yes, I thought that’s just what would become of Earl and “Casey.” Dorothy: That certainly is a pretty skirt you have on. Who’s your modiste ? Barbara : Guess. Dorothy: I can’t. It’s too hot. Barbara: Well it’s another old class- mate — Annette Boulais. I think she’s the best dressmaker in New York. Dorothy : Speaking of clothes re- minds me that I just bought a pair of shoes from Chase’s factory in Lynn. You know he had to start a factory of his own because he couldn’t buy shoes large enough to fit him. He uses his .Senior Play snap-shot as an advertise- 42 ment to let everyone know that even the largest foot can be fitted. You remember all you could see in that pic- ture was his feet. Oh, Barb. What is Morong doing now? Do you know? Barbara: Yes, I do. He’s on the editorial staff of the “New York Times.” One morning recently I read an edito- rial, in that paper, written by him on the subject, “The Downfall of Red Rus- sia.” Dorothy: What paper did you say that was in? Barbara: The “New York Times.” Dorothy: It was in the “New York Times” that I read that Thomas Jianakountzos, Professor of Greek at Columbia University, had laryngitis. Barbara: Bet he’s not talking very fast now, then. Perhaps his tongue is securing a much needed rest. Dorothy : And Herbert Morrill, I hear, is at the same University in another capacity — instructor of calis- thenics. He must have developed this interest in physical training since high school days. One membel of our class has become famous anyway. Barbara: Who’s that? Dorothy: “Bess” Stone. Do you get up early enough to take her reducing exercises broadcast from station “S. L. I. M.” You know she was always going on a diet because she thought she was so fat. She evidently dis- covered a popular method for reducing, because the last time I saw her she pos- sessed a beautiful sylph-like form, and being of a generous disposition, she is eager to share her secret. Barbara: I haven’t got to the point yet where I feel the need of reducing, but I did get up early one morning, just for the fun of hearing the familiar voice of a classmate broadcasting. The thing that struck me more forcibly, however, was the fact that Ruth Lord was an- nouncing from that station. I almost forgot to listen to “Bess” in wondering how Ruth held down a job that required so much talking. Dorothy : Speaking of reducing somehow reminds me of Doctor Marion Cummings. Have you noticed a depart- ment in “Good Housekeeping” con- ducted by her? It is called “Balanced Rations,” and she is considered an authority on calories and vitamins. Barbara : There seems to be quite a number of us who are connected with magazine and newspaper work. Flor- ence Brown, you know, conducts a fash- ion hint department which is syndi- cated in all the leading newspapers throughout the country. “Yours for Longer Lines, Flossie,” she signs her- self. She has the art down to such a science that she doesn’t need to wear high heels any longer to make her look tall. Dorothy : Really ? That’s a hard one to believe. By the way, George Greenberg is connected with newspaper work too. He’s a proof reader on one of the Chicago daily papers. Barbara: No! I don’t see how he ever detects misspelled words. Per- haps he’s improved since he used to correct Hayes’s spelling paper in M. H. S. Dorothy: “Link” Hayes used to con- duct a love column that was also syn- dicated in the newspapers, but he got tired of that and is now in Holly- wood. His greatest film success is the part of villain in the photo play, “A Kiss in the Dark.” Barbara: That’s “Link” all right. Remember the time the lights went out during the evening session? 43 Dorothy: Do I — ? Who do you sup- pose came into the office the other day? Barbara: I don’t know. Who? Dorothy: A good looking but em- barrassed salesman. You couldn’t guess; so I’ll tell you that it was Stan- ley Bartniski selling a new up-to-date history of the world. As I said, he was embarrassed slightly, but he’s learning to talk all right. Barbara: I had a letter from Hazel Manzer last week. She’s having a won- derful experience teaching “Math” in a government school in Honolulu. And Antolena Kmiech lectured on nursing in our school about a month ago. She has the same sweet voice. She is con- nected with one of the large hospitals here in New York. I’ve forgotten just this minute which one. Dorothy: Of course you knew Rob- ert Minchin had exhibited several of his paintings in prominent galleries and art museums in Boston, New York and Washington. His most famous so far, I believe, is called “A Corridor Ro- mance.” Barbara: Yes, I often run in to one of the museums here to view his latest. Dorothy: Let’s see. Does that take in everybody? Oh, no, there’s Anna Grant. Do you know anything about her? Barbara: Sure. Haven’t you hap- pened to run across her? She’s not far from home. A friend of mine took me home in her car for a visit last sum- mer. We stopped at one of the hot dog stands somewhere between Lynn and Salem and found Anna in charge. She had always been ambitious to own a store ever since she worked in the candy room in high school. She still finds time, however, to learn all the fancy dances and often amuses her cus- tomers with exhibitions of the terp- sichorean art. Dorothy : There ! I guess all are accounted for, “as the papers say.” Hasn’t it been fun? Barbara: It certainly has. You don’t know how glad I am I met you. But I have only about ten minutes now before my train leaves, so I suppose I’d better be leaving. Look me up the next time you’re in the city. My apart- ment is on 32nd street. Wait a min- ute. Here’s my card with the address and telephone number. Don’t forget. Dorothy: No, I wont. l ' get into New York quite frequently from Jer- sey. I’ll be going after my baggage, I guess. Send me a postcard on your vacation. Barbara: I will. Dorothy: So long. Best of luck. Barbara: Same to you. Goodbye. 44 Alumni 1922 Hortense Jewett is married to Mr. Graves and is living at Deer Isle, Me. She is training to be a missionary. She recently visited Manning High.

They have all been interesting and we wish to thank those who have con- tributed. “The Chronicle” of Haverhill, Mass., certainly has fine athletic write-ups. We hope to see you again next year. “The Blue and White,” Methuen, Mass. Your school seems to show a great interest in its paper. You are always welcome. “The Brocktonia,” Brockton, Mass. Your paper is very complete, contain- ing some fine editorials. “Whittier Town Sentinel,” Amesbury, Mass. Your section of cartoons is very interesting. Come again. “Pep,” Mexico, Maine. This certainly is a snappy paper. Your joke depart- ment is very spicy. “The Beacon,” Gloucester, Mass. Your book-reviews are fine. Come again. “Magus,” Milton Academy for Girls, Milton, Mass. Your paper is very inter- esting. Hope to see you again next year. “The Record,” Newburyport, Mass. You show fine school spirit in your paper. You are always a welcome num- ber. “The Green and White,” Essex County Agricultural School. Your paper is full of fine stories and jokes. We have also received school papers from Beverly, Mass., “The Aegis”; “Early Trainer,” Essex County Train- ing School, Lawrence, Mass ; and “Rensselaer Polytechnic” of Troy, N. Y. 45 Class Notes FRESHMAN CLASS NOTES The class elected Barbara Damon secretary for the remainder of the year, Matthew Dabrowski having moved to Taunton. Money was raised to buy flowers for Eleanor Sheppard who has been sick. The meetings of April and May were not held as nothing of importance was brought up for discussion. ' William Marr, ’29. SOPHOMORE CLASS NOTES The Sophomore class has been more active since the baseball season. At the game on- May 25th, when the sophomores played Topsfield, the sophs won, with a score of 7-5. At the track meet May 24th, the sophs came out third with 10 points. One class meet- ing was held in which Durham was elected vice-president, in place of Wile, who has left school. The class was also sorry to lose Grant, who has left school. Let us hope we shall be livelier next year. Elizabeth Gove, ’28. JUNIOR CLASS NOTES Although we have been somewhat inactive outside of the Prom, we are merely resting before what we hope and intend to be — an excellent Senior class. We have elected Ralph Kenyon as Class Historian and we know that we shall have a very interesting chron- icle for him to write. The’ Class Day decorations were furnished by Mary Keyes, Virgene Hamilton, Robert Cole, and Seymour Grose, who constitute the committee. Parker Hull was elected chairman of the Graduation Commit- tee which consists also of Roger Lord, Robert Sheppard, Hilda Dupray and Edna Roper. Paul Hayes is chairman of the reception committee, John Kobos, William Connor, Laura Gordon, and Mona Monroe completing it. Hike As representative of the Junior Class I should like to give a short report of the hike across Plum Island. We started by boat from Ipswich at half past nine, fourteen strong, and landed at Sandy Point. We hiked for some miles and then built a fire and ate a huge dinner (for dainty girls). Some of the more daring braved the stormy deep under the watchful eye of the coast guard. We made a tour of in- spection of the Coast Guard Station and after quenching our thirst we continued our way over the burning sands to Plum Island and then to Newburyport, from there taking the train home. Mrs. Lord and Miss Blodgett accom- panied us. SENIOR CLASS NOTES Class Day was held at the Manning High School on Wednesdsay June 23rd. The class history was given by Law- rence Chase, the prophecy by Dorothy Williams and Barbara Pickard, and the will by Earle Hardy. Gifts to the boys were presented by Gertrude Lovell, and gifts to the girls by George Marlin. The play entitled “The Knights’ Mare” was presented at these exercises. The cast was as follows: Mrs. Latimer (a small nervous woman of fifty never quite sure of her- self), Ruth Norman. Elaine (her daughter, a very roman- tic. young lady always dreaming of 46 knights), Lenora Pollard., large woman of seventy), Ruth Mighill.

McGinley got robbed of a horn 3 run by the good throwing of McCarthy and Wile. Avery started the first in- ning with a two-bagger and was fol- lowed across the platter by Wile and Carey, making a start of three runs. Dummer put one over us by getting four runs in their half.

But, it took “Tim” Carey to bust up a good ball game, for he came through with a screaming triple with three men on bases. He also collected two more hits before the game was over. Avery came through with his hits, as he always does when they are needed. The oppos- ing team appeared to like hooks bet- ter than they did straight balls ' as they seemed to get hold of them.
