Happiness is found in different ways by different ])eople. Some find it in material things, some in spiritual. Some may find it in wealth, power, position and all that they bring, some in helpfulness, kindness, and love for his fellow man.

Rrown army planes, sil- ver navy planes, orange commercial planes, red, black yellow, green bi- planes, monoplanes, trimeters, bom- bers, — but to the anxious party waiting on the ground they had none of the fascination common to usual visitors of this much visited sky thoroughfare. With eyes fixed steadily upon the western horizon they saw uncomprehendingly the slowly setting sun and its brilliant colors. Their tension was conveyed in a slight degree to the thinning crowd gathered around the hang- ars. Many lingered until time call- ed them away curious about the si- lently watching group and not with- out a small doubting fear preying upon them. The group consisted of two elder- ly people, a man and a woman, a young lady, and a young man. The were dressed in afternoon sport clothes and indeed they had just left the most exciting derby race of the season in response to an urgent telegram that had brought them here hurriedly to stand for so long with such tense and solemn fac- es. Near them was their high pow- ered, low-slung gray car. At last against the rose rays of the setting sun three planes ap- peared in formation. The silver plane was in the lead — a gray flash against the sky — that would be the doctor! The two behind would be his nurses and assistants. The watch_ ing group held its breath. Would they be on time ? The car raced to the planes as soon as they were mo- tionless. America’s greatest surgeon was rushed from plane to car, and thence to New York’s most famed hospital. More slowly the occu- pants of the other two planes fol- lowed. The scene at which they had arrived was one of calm and quiet. The great surgeon had tak- en charge and at once he made pi-eparation for the necessaiy op- ei ation on the still figure of the pale young man on the bed. The operation was successful! An intei ' ested observer of the whole incident went away mai vel- ing and with respect and awe in his heart foi the men who had made possible so gi’eat a progress in civi- lization, that through the combina- tion of machinery and skill this group was made happy. — Phyllis Haggerty. THE HOUR OF PEACE The hour of peace is when the wings of twilight fold Their colors of vaporous sapphire, mauve and gold, Around an earth overflowing with sorrow. When each blade of grass and leaf seems to borrow Its radiant hue from the twilight’s subtle color. Sweetest then the dreams men wrought Around the lovelier things never bought. Saddest then the hearts of those In whose hearts the love for others never rose. Quieter then is boisterous youth. The songs of the birds are softer then And the evening primrose their fra- grance lend To the earth the perfumed wealth of its flower. Oh sweet and peaceful hour. When twilight unfolds her colorful wings ! — Marietta Scotton. A NIGHT SETTING In the blackness of the night, a man stood on the edge of a high cliff on the mountainside. Far be- low him twinkled the lights of a small village. Spi’ead thi-ough the dai ' kness they looked like a silvei spangled scaiT tossed carelessly over a dai’k curtain. Beside the vil- lage a rivei’ cast foilh a dull steel glint and across its banks the flood lights of an aii i)ort shone like a lai ' ge flashing jewel. Failher upon the mountainside behind the man, a solitary gleam from his cabin piorceil the Klooni. The silence was enhanced by the slij ht murmur of the winds which stirred the vast tract of i)ine below him. To his left the moon bi ' oke through the thick foliage of the trees to cast a dancing silver ray upon a silently llowing mountain brook. Suddenly the silence was broken l)y the sound of crashing underbrush and the man held his breath as a beautiful stag stepped into the patch of moonlight with his antlers lifted high and his sensitive head poised gracefully. The man scarce- ly breathed as the wonderful crea- ture slowly drank from the clear, liquid depth of the stream and then whirled around and with another crashing of foliage was gone. Si- lence reigned once more as the man slowly climbed the path to his cab- in and, looking back, he saw a sil- ver spangled scarf sparkling against its black velvet setting and further off a large glowing jewel flashing. — Phyllis Haggerty. THE VICTIMS OF THE MOAT Taken captive on the day of her betrothal to the gallant young Sir Roderick Maseville, fair Lady Ellen stood there, in her cell-like room in the turret of the castle of her cap- tor, the Duke of Marlborough, and watched the rays of a fiery morning sun usher in another day of mono- tonous captivity. She had spent a sleepless night knowing that this very day her lover would storm the duke’s castle, capture the duke, and rescue her. It he should fail — ? The very thought was horrifying. She lifted the mattress of the bed and took from under it Sir Roder- ick’s shield which she had secreted beneath her big cape during the flight. She went to the massive win- dow and opened wide the shutters and the bright sun’s rays danced and sparkled on the shield. For a long time she gazed fondly at it looking out across the hills occasion- ally to get a glimpse of Sir Roder- ick’s banners when he should come. It was thus that the Duke of Marl- borough found her when he came to pay his daily visit, do his daily pleading for her hand in marriage, and then threaten her very life when she refused him. On this particular morning, the duke, having heard of Sir Roder- ick’s plans, was in no mood to list- en to a refusal, much less to look upon this picture which presented itself. He entered suddenly, giving Lady Ellen no time to conceal the shield, and upon seeing it the duke rushed forward, seized it (not with- out effort), and recognized the coat of the House of Maseville engraved upon its face. A struggle for the shield ensued making stronger La- dy Ellen’s love and increasing the duke’s hatred. Lady Ellen would never, as long as she breathed, al- low that shield to fall in anyone else’s hands. Suddenly there came the sound of a trumpet and from the window La- dy Ellen saw Sir Roderick crossing the distant hills at the head of two hundred brave knights. The duke was strong and cowardly, the lady’s love young and strong. She would have fought to her last breath but the duke was willing to come to terms for Lady Ellen’s cries could be heard throughout the bare old walls of the castle, and already Sir Rod- erick had gained the outer wall and had only to get control of the draw- bridge in order to reach his fair one. The duke laid the shield on the sill of the open window; Lady Ellen, as if to reassure herself of 16 her victory placed her hand upon it. The duke, wishing to emphasize his superiority, wheeled about to re- move her hand and in doing so, knocked the shield from the sill and it fell down, down, down, and splashed into the cold, inky black moat which surrounded the castle. Lady Ellen stood frozen to the floor for a moment. Stupefaction over- came her and then she rushed toward the window and would have I thrown herself out after the shield had not the duke, jumped in front of her. She fought furiously while the duke, ejaculating oaths, strove to keep her from leaping out of the high window. Lady Ellen, glancing out, saw Sir Roderick on the wall, his men having surrounded the castle on all sides. At the sight of him she shouted and fought all the more vig- orously. Sir Roderick, hearing her cries, saw the duke’s great burly should- ers framed in the window, saw him struggling, and saw an occasional flash of the white of Lady Ellen’s betrothal gown. On the first im- pulse he grasped the shaft of his spear and sent it flying toward the window. At precisely the same mo- ment Lady Ellen gained her way to the window and leaned far out to catch a glimpse of her lost shield. The spear whizzing through the air struck, but its victim was not the intended one and the body of the beautiful Lady Ellen slid from the sill and fell down, down, down, in- to the still, cold moat through whose inky waters showed a faint silvery glimmer. Sir Roderick, seeing what he had done and knowing that life no long- er held happiness for him, bowed his head for a brief moment as if in prayer, and then leaped to the side of his loved one in the moat. There was a splash followed by the cries of men and then the moat, disturbed for a third time within a quarter of an hour, settled to itself. The rays of a fiery setting sun shone quietly on the Castle of Marl- borough,the wind died away, and [hat little portion of the world was quiet once again excepting for the occasional chuckle of the Duke of Marlborough as he grinned down upon the still, cold inky moat. — Edith Richardson. 17 Graduation Essays IPSWICH AS THE BIRTHPLACE OF AMERICAN INDEPENDENCE (Mary Henderson) No one has ever been able to i-ealize the full significance of the stirrinj - sentence, “Taxation with- out rei)resentation is tyranny,” bet- ter than our own Ipswich forefath- ers. Ever since they had landed on these shores, they had clung to their rights as true sons of England to make their own laws, elect their own rulers, and above all, levy their own taxes. Now comes a hated British tyrant sent over from the mother country to keep the state of Massachusetts in subjection. The first act of the new governor, Andros, is to disre- gard utterly the rights of his sub- jects by highhandedly ordering a tax of a penny on every pound of money in the Colony’s possesion, to be paid as a source of revenue, with- out even consulting the representa- tives of the people. Later, he lev- ied many other taxes without the consent of the people, but no other act of his enraged the Massachu- setts patriots so much as this first one — the ordering of a tax small in amount, no doubt, but very far- reaching in result. Ipswich has a well-founded claim of being the birthplace of American independence. Several other towns before this time had shown signs of discontent, but none had dared to oppose directly the will of Eng- land as Ipswich did. The evening before the day set for the town meeting at which the momentous decision of obedience or disobedience was to be made, a group of well-known men of Ips- wich and Essex gathered at the home of John Appleton, Junior, to consider the question of whether it was right for the citizens to pay this tax. Among those present were the Reverend John Wise, pastor of the chui ch at Essex, William Hubbard, pastor of the Ipswich church, and Mr. John Whipple. After much de- liberation and argument, they de- cided that it was entirely contrary to their rights as English subjects to pay this tax, since they had had nothing at all to say concerning its levying. The Reverend John Wise was then appointed the spokesman to present the views of these men at the town meeting the next day. Early on the morning of August 23, 1687, the people began to as- semble at the old meeting-house up- on the green. They gathered very quietly considering that it was at this very meeting that the first blast of the trump of liberty was to l)e sounded. As soon as the build- ing was filled, the men holding tight to their muskets, for there had been recent threats of Indian attacks, the governor’s warrant, ordering the tax to be paid and tax collectors to be appointed, was read to the as- semblage. There was very little discontent show until the honored pastor of Essex, Mr. Wise, began his impas- sioned appeal to their love of lib- erty. His opinions were very much respected then, and his memory is still held in high esteem, as is shown by the recently proposed plan to make his homestead, with some ad- joining land, a national park. He can truly be called the father of American independence for, al- though his acts preceded the Amer- ican revolution by nearly one hun- 18 dred years, that war was fought on exactly the some principles which Wise emphasized. Furthermore, his later writings were copied in part almost word for word by Thom- as Jefferson in the Declaration of independence. At this town meet- ing Mr. Wise recalled to the people the struggle of their forefathers in England to obtain the rights which meant so much to them. He exhort- ed each one not to bow down to every whim of the tyrant Andros. For they were still British subjects and their mere change of home could not take away their cherished rights. He begged them not to pay the tax, no matter if it was small. Several other men then spoke in a similar strain. The people, real- izing that whatever their leaders said must be right, voted not to pay the tax. Here was struck the first blow for independence, without con- fusion and bloodshed, it is true, but a firm stroke, nevertheless. As soon as Ipswich had blazed the way by open refusal, other towns followed suit, and Andros soon found himself with a very troublesome colony on his hands. Ipswich was, at this time, next to Boston, the most important town in the Massachusetts Bay Colony. Thus, since Boston had quietly sub- mitted to the governor’s demands, Ipswich as the next largest town, liad to bear the brunt of the wrath of the ruling powers. The men who had spoken at the town meeting and several others who were suspected of having incited the people to open resistance to the governor’s orders, were arrested and tried. Most of them were quickly acquitted, but Samuel Appleton was detained in jail for a long time. Ipswich was roundly censured and was men- tioned in the governor’s report as a trouble-maker. This was the price that Ipswich had to pay for the priv- ilege of bearing on her seal the in- scription : “The Birthplace of American Independence.” Ipswich lived up to her reputa- tion in the years that followed. Ips- wich men were sent to the Revolu- tionary War, the Mexican War, the Civil War, the Spanish War, and the World War. A large proportion were distinguished by their bravery. Ipswich men are as ready to fight for the liberty of others now as they were ready to strive for their own independence in a matter of taxa- tion in 1687. For although Ipswich is small, her inhabitants are not lacking in courage. May she there- fore always be the home of Ameri- can independence as well as its birthplace ! THE TRUST FUNDS OF IPSWICH Edward Dolan Ipswich, endowed with a beauti- ful location and a glorious past, has been very fortunate in having money given to her. Funds, amount- ing to $188,000 have been donated. This sum of money hasbeensupplied by funds of the following names : Heard, Treadwell, Manning, Payne, Burley, Crane, Cowles, Jones, and Brown funds. The number of these various funds indicates to some de- gree theii- value to the town of Ips- wich. One of the most interesting funds is the Heard Fund. Augustine Heard led a very eventful life. He was a student at Exeter in his youth and he displayed much talent there as a scholar and a writer. He travel- led to Smyrna in a small schooner at an early age. He loved the sea with its adventure and his life reads like that of a story-book hero. He 19 kept a steady record of liis voyages, his hai ' dships, and joys throughout liis life. He dwelt in Ipswich in his declining years after having ' seen life in many foreign counti-ies. He was a kind, generous iver all his life. In his old age he had planned for the building of a library for which he t)rovided in his will. He selected the site and purchased the land for a library. He became somewhat bolder and took upon himself the selection of plans and the oversight of the erection of the building. He appointed the trus- tees, told them what he wanted them to do, and selected a libi ' arian. He approved the selection of three thousand volumes of books, and seven thousand more were added by his four nephews after his death. He provided for a library that might be self-supporting at all times and and free to everyone. His total be- quest exceeded forty thousand dol- lars. Daniel Treadwell had likewise made i)lans all his life for the pro- vision of a free public library in Ipswich. In his will he stated, “I give .... to my native Town of Ips- wich all my real estate situated in the said Town, to have and to hold the same forever — the income whereof, together with the sum of four thousand dollars .... shall be appropi’iated by the said Town for the founding of a library, to contain a collection of the standard works of the best authors, ancient and modern, but to the exclusion of the cheap literature and party newspa- pers of the day, for the use of the inhabitants of Ipswich and the neighboring towns. And it is my wish that the build- ing of the said library shall be erect- ed upon the land purchased by me near the Stone Bridge (meaning Choate Bridge) a few years since, that it shall be made fireproof and used exclusively for the purposes of a library.” As Mr. Heard had provided for the same object, one or the other had to change his will. Mr. Heard erected the library building and in- stalled a library. Of course this was a keen disappointment to Mr. Treadwell but after consultation with the trustees, he made a change in his will by which he gave his lands, estate, and other properties mentioned in the former will for the further endowment and support of a free public library in Ipswich. Now we have a library where any- one can go to enjoy himself by good reading. The collection of books was one of the best in the country as it contained many rare books and first editions. Unfortunately, how- ever, some of these seem to be miss- ing at the present time. But we have a collection of books now to interest young and old of various tastes. William Burley is another man who has added to the benefactions of the town of Ipswich. He was a native of Ipswich and interested in the welfare of the town, who died in Beverly but remembered his old home town in his will. He be- queathed two thousand dollars of which fifty dollars was to be paid yearly for two years after his death to teach poor children to read and to instruct them in the principles of the Christian religion. But it would be quite difficult to carry out the terms of the will as there are so many who would be eligible to re- ceive this instruction. Now every child goes to school to learn to read and most children go to church or Sunday school. The trustees, realiz- ing this, were in favor of changing 20 the terms of the bequest. There- fore, by a legal procedure, the terms were changed for a more logical purpose. The interest from the money accumulated as there was little use for it. Later much of the money was used for building a schoolhouse which is called the Bur- ley School, named after Mr. Burley. Robert Payne also desired that Ipswich might have schools for the education of its future citizens. He carried out his plan in somewhat the same way in which Augustine Heard provided for the library. He built a schoolhouse at his own cost and held it until 1863. Then he gave this schoolhouse to a board of trustees and it became the Payne School. Although this school is not very imposing now, it has stood the wear and tear of many years and has proved itself even more dura- ble than Manning High School. William Payne was also interest- ed in the welfare of his town. He gave Little Neck to Ipswich, where it might build a schoolhouse. How- ever, as it was not deemed wise to l)uild a schoolhouse there, it has been used otherwise. At present it seems that Little Neck has been of more value in its present use than it might have been if it had been used for the building of a school- house. The town now holds Little Neck and the income from it is ap- propriated toward the maintenance of our high school. Little Neck is now one of the most beautiful sum- mer colonies in this vicinity and it adds greatly to the attraction and beauty of the town. The most important of all the funds is the Manning Fund. Di . Thomas Manning had always been a kind and generous man. He was an ardent supi)orter of the town and helped his town in many ways. How- eve! , when he tried to provide for a high school in Ipswich, he be- came the innocent cause for much trouble and scandal. He left sixty thousand dollars in the hands of executives to be invested in good stocks and to be given to trustees at the end of twenty years “for the purpose of maintaining a free high school for the use of youths of both sexes of good moral character and deportment and of suitable age.” The first point of combat was that he was incompetent to make out a will. His son thought he was de- prived of his proper share of the money and therefore fought for his rights. However, the Manning High School was built in 1874 and it still stands. But at this point the misfortunes began. For several years, for some reason or other, the trustees made no report upon the condition of the funds. Because of this, a bill was passed in the Massa- chusetts legislature forcing the trustees to make a public account- ing each year. At present the fund amounts to about forty thousand dollars, part of which is invested in the Colonial Building. This re- turns about two percent and some- times less on the investment. An- other part of the money is invested in the so called Masters house which was acquired by the trustees to re- lieve the local bank of a bad mort- gage. The major portion of the ) est of the funds is invested in Mexi- can railway bonds of questionable value. It can be plainly seen that all of these investments are doubt- ful and certainly cannot be of any great value. Tliere are good results and bad results from this Manning Fund. Of course, the best result is that we did get a high scliool. An- other good feature is that li)swich has never had to build a high school 21 in the three hundred years of its his- tory. And, fifty-six years ago Ips- wich did have one of the best high schools in Massachusetts. But that was fifty-six years ago. An unfor- tunate feature is that the people of Ipswich have never been wholly conscious of their responsibility to the youth of the town, feeling that the Manning Fund should take the place of legitimate taxes for the support of schools. Secondly, it does not set a very good example to the youth in the handling of sa- cred trusts. What should we have done if our high school had not been left to us by this man ? A fund to help further the edu- cation of worthy boys and girls af- ter graduation from high school was given by Roxanna Cowles. As she had been an instructor at Vassar College and a woman much inter- ested in education, she realized the value of a college education. In her will she left ten thousand dollars, called the Eunice Cowles fund, to be used to help Ipswich boys and girls of good character who had graduated from Manning High School with an average of at least 85% to continue their education. She provided that two hundred dol- lars might be given each year to each of two students who were deemed worthy of this aid. This is an excellent aid to any boy or girl ambitious to go to college and it should be an inspiration for any- one who enters high school desiring to further his education to do his school work faithfully. The Richard T. Crane, Jr. Fund is one from which all the school chil- dren and teachers in Ipswich re- ceive pleasure. Mr. Crane has giv- en a sum of money to be used each year for the purpose of giving a pic- nic at Crane’s Beach to the school children and teachers of the town. The first picnic was given on the occasion of his son’s birthday and one has been given regularly every year since. As a result anyone who goes to school in Ipswich can be as- sured of at least one picnic each year. We all realize his kindness in providing for this picnic and we all look forward to it each year as a day of enjoyment. Marianna Jones bequeathed a fund to the town of Ipswich for more general purposes. She did not specify any method of using it but left it for the town to use in any way it sees fit. The town accepted this sum of money and now draws the interest on it. If at any time the town should be in need, this en- dowment could be used if it were so voted. A fund given for a somewhat dif- ferent purpose was that given by Mrs. William G. Brown. She wished to prevent cruelty to dumb animals of which many people are guilty. Therefore, she left some money to be used to convict those on trial for cruelty to dumb animals. Although this may be a bequest for a purpose of which many people would never think, it certainly is a very humane bequest and one which can be used for a worthy cause. From all these funds, therefore, Ipswich has received as gifts a free public library, a high school, two other schools, the provision for a school picnic each year, the oppor- tunity for ambitious boys and girls to further their education, an amount of money for its own use, and the protection of dumb animals. Certainly, these are gifts which add much to the welfare of the town and give our citizens and future citizens many great opportunities. May they show their appreciation 22 and gratitude by making the most of these opportunities ! NATHANIEL WARD AND HIS CONTRIBUTION TO THE MASSACHUSETTS OF TODAY Mary Brennan To understand Nathaniel Ward and to have a proper conception of what he contributed to the Ameri- ca of to-day we must observe him with his friends, watch him in his daily work, and glimpse his edu- cation and training. Says M. C. Tyler of Nathaniel Ward, “Perhaps no Englishman who came to Amer- ica brought with him more of the ripeness that is born not only of time and study but of distinguished early associations, extensive travel in foreign lands, and varied profes- sional experience at home.” Born in England, he graduated from Emmanuel College, Cambridge in 1613 and became a barrister in 1615. He practised law for some years but through his natural incli- nation and his friendship with Dav- id Pareus, a theologian of Heidel- berg, he entered the ministry at the age of forty and served as Rector of Standon, Massey, Essex for a short time. Very early in his career as a minister he evidenced those characteristics which later led to his excommunication from the church because he refused to conform to some of its practises. After his ex- pulsion he emigrated to America in 1634 and spent the first winter in Ipswich at the home of Governor Winthrop. The next year, having become minister of Ipswich, he built a home of his own located on the east side of the South Common, about opposite the Saltonstall resi- dence. For Nathaniel Ward the path of life was never an easy one, for his home training and education em- phasized the solid virtues which we have come to associate with the Pu- ritans. Unable to disassociate him- self from the rigorous rules of his upbringing, he condemned the “Book of Sports” and the practice of bowing at the name of “Jesus.” It was this condemnation which led to his excommunication in 1633. In reading the story of his times we find him constantly disapproving of the modes and manner of dress and constantly voicing that disapproval. We see in his refusal to conform to the common practices the evidence of his grim determination to follow the dictates of his conscience. Whether or not we agree with his actions, we must admire his tenacity of purpose in holding to his own honest opinion. Life was far from kind to Nathan- iel Ward and we see him laboring under many handicaps both mental and physical. It is no easy matter for a man of forty suddenly to change his life’s work, Yet trained for a lawyer, at forty he finally con- ceived the purpose of entering the ministry. However a short time af- terward he had to face the shame and hardships of excommunication. In another very short period his wife died and he found himself a lonely disillusioned man, faced with the necessity of raising and educat- ing two sons and a daughter. In bitter sorrowful loneliness, despair- ing of any asylum or field of useful- ness in England, in common with many of the Puritans of this time, he turned to the New World. His personal fi-iends wei e men of cul- tui ' e, refinement, and education. Among them may be numbered Sir Ei’ancis Bacon and the Aixhbishop 23 T sliei and also the famous theolo- -ian of Heidelbei ' , David Parens. TIow Nathaniel Ward must have re- veled in the intimate conversations nnd exchange of ideas that came fi’om his friendship with these bril- liant men ! TTow he must have miss- ed their fi-iendship after his emi -ra- tion: for hai‘d indeed was the life of a ramb) id« ' e scholar in the deoths of this ji ' reat wilderness. To add to his burden, after actiim as minister of Tnswich for only about three vears. his health broke down and he was called upon to e:ive up his chosen work of the min- istry. Undaunted bv this additional hardship, we find him turning- back to his early life, that of the work of a lawyer. As a matter of fact it is during this period rather than dur- ing his ministry that he accomplish- ed those things which most influ- ence the civilization of to-day. The hardships of his career mel- lov ' ed his point of view and his le- gal training and experience gave him the necessary equipment to sort out of a bewildering mass of con- flicting opinions a law or rule of con- duct by which the people of his time could guide their lives. His exper- ience as a minister won for him the respect and admiration of the church-going Puritans. All of these characteristics made him one of the outstanding leaders of his time and he was the most natural one to se- lect to bring order out of chaos and to set down a code of laws known as the “Body of liberties. This code served as a rule of conduct for the Puritans and practically all the laws are incorporated to-day in the laws of the Commonwealth of Mass- achusetts. No mean accomplish- ment was this codification of laws for from 1636 to 1641 several at- tempts had been made to draw up such a code as Nathaniel Ward fin- ally accomplished. I believe this codification of laws to be one of the outstanding contributions which he made to the America of to-day. We find many comments on the “Body of Liberties,” both by his contem- poraries and later important men. Speaking of the preamble Mr. M. W. F. Poole observes : “This sublime declaration standing at the head of the first code of laws in New Eng- land was the production of no com- mon intellect. It has the movement and the grace of a mind like John Milton’s or Algernon Sidney’s and its theory of government was far in advance of the age. A bold avowal of the rights of man and a plea for popular freedom, it con- tains the germs of the memorable Declaration of July 4, 1776.” Dr, Francis Grav remarks upon the or- iginality of the code: “Althongh it retains some stray traces of the times it is far in advance of them and in several respects in advance of the Common law of England at this date (1818). It shows that our ancestors instead of deducing their laws from the book of Moses, es- tablished at the outset a code of firm principles, which, taken as a whole, for wisdom, equity, and adaptation to the wants of their community, challenge a comparison with any similar production from the Magna Charta to the latest Bill of Rights that has been put forth in Europe or America.” Thus we see that Nathaniel Ward, the first of a long line of ministers in Ipswich, but more well known as the author of the “Body of Liberties” was without doubt re- sponsible for starting many of the reforms and establishing many of the virtues in the lives of our Ips- wich ancestors, which have been 24 handed down to us to-day. We see his rule of life and his splendid con- ception of the true happiness of life in the Latin inscription over his fire- place : “Sobrie, Juste, Pie” — Sobri- ety, Justice, and Piety. THE PURITAN AND THE PROGRESS OF LIBERTY Melvin Haley The source of English Puritanism is directly traced to John Wyclif and his followers of the fourteenth century. Wyclif was a professor at Oxford and the greatest scholar of his age. His translation of the Bible and tracts of religious doctrine commenced a revolt against reli- gious and political tyranny. A cen- tury later we find the work of Wy- clif ably carried on by the martyr, Hugh Latimer. The accession of Elizabeth found the Puritan movement growing into the very foundations of the national life. The transfer of the Naval su- premacy of the world was accom- plished through the destruction of the Spanish Armada in 1588. As- sisting in that memorable victory were the great Puritan sea rovers, Drake, Hawkins, Gilbert, and Cav- endish. The voyage of the May- flower and her successors without this victory might have received the same fate as that of the Hugenots in Florida a short time before. James I ascended the English throne in 1603, the first of the House of Stuart. He asserted the doctrine of divine right and constantly told Parliament it existed subject to his will. The privileges of Parliament are the very keystone in the long controversy of the English people with the House of Stuart. Charles I succeeded to the throne of his father. He had inherited his fath- er’s theories and attempted to rule without Parliament and to compel all to conform to the established church. The Puritans’ ideas re- specting the government resem- bled those respecting the govern- ment of the church. Puritan di- vines, for example, courted resis- tance to tyrants, both temporal and ecclesiastical. Under the direction of William Laud, arch-bishop of Canterbury, every group of non-con- formists was hunted and tracked down. A man’s house, supposed to be his castle, was not immune from this oppression. Charles I ruled without Parliament from 1629 - 1640, the period of the great Puri- tan migration to Massachusetts. The over throw of the English crown marked the ending of a long struggle against religious and poli- tical persecution. The people in this great movement found their champion in Oliver Cromwell. The moral and political issues involved were of world-wide importance. Of especial significance is the fate of those who espoused the cause of lib- erty on the continent of Europe. The victories of Cromwell at Mars- ton Moor and Naseby are prophetic landmarks. The study of English institutions in the following century gave rise to the works of Rousseau and Voltaire, and with it the French Revolution. The same year that Charles I be- gan to govern without a Parliament, he granted a charter to the Com- pany of Massachusetts Bay. Migra- tion to the New Woidd was the only escape from a condition that had i)ecome desperate for those early founders of oui Commonwealth. While some pi’efei’red to remain in England and i-esist to tlie last, others were willing to hazaixl their lives and fortunes in the establishment 25 of a Now En i-land on these shores. Uo er Conant had already found- ed a colony at Cape Ann in 1624. A short time latei lie had moved to Naumkea , now Salem. John Endi- cott arrived at Salem in 1628 and was appointed governor. The set- tlement of Salem by the “Old Plant- ers” with Conant as leader and the coming of Endicott a few years lat- er made way for the historic migra- tion of John Winthrop in 1680. The organization of the company of the Massachusetts Bay was ac- complished by experienced states- men. John Winthrop was the mas- ter spirit of the company and en- joys the great honor of being the first governor chosen by the free- men of the colony. Associated with Winthrop were Thomas Dudley the deputy governor, Simon Bradstreet. and Sir Richard Saltonstall, men of honor, influence, and ability. The embarkation of Governor Winthrop and his company in 1680 started a great Puritan movement towards these shores. About one thousand people arrived in the Bay and at T lymouth in 1680. A few settle- ments had already been established within the limits of the Massachu- setts Bay, Salem being the largest. The fact that one in five died the first winter bears the mute testimo- nial of the hardships and suffering incident to settlement. Less than three years from the time the “Arbella” dropped anchor in Salem harbor John Winthrop, Jr. son of the governor, began the set- tlement of Ipswich. Under his lea- dership we trace from the begin- ning the importance of Ipswich in the affairs of the colony. Rev. Na- thaniel Ward was one of the early settlers of Ipswich, a graduate of Cambridge University, a lawyer in his early years, a friend of Sir Fran- cis Bacon, and by extensive travel and varied experiences fitted above all others for that great exposition of Puritan polity which he compiled at the request of the colony, a Mag- na Charta ' in the New England wilderness known as the “Body of Liberties.’’ Governor Francis Dud- ley removed to Ipswich in 1685. He was soon followed by Simon Brad- street, later a governor, and his wife Anne who was the first to write po- etry worthy of the name in the col- onies. There were others of dis- tinguished parts attracted to Ips- wich. Mention may be made of the Rev. John Norton, Deputy-Governor Simonds, Richard Saltonstall, and Samuel Appleton whose farm has passed down through successive generations for more than three hundred years. The influence of Ipswich in the affairs of the colony was second only to that of Boston. The ship “John” arrived at Bos- ton in 1688 bringing the Rev. Eze- kiel Rogers, one time rector of St. Peter’s Church at Rowley in old England. Rogers was graduated from Cambridge soon after the not- ed Ward of Ipswich, and was sus- pended from the ministry for non- confomity. With fifty-nine heads of families he settled the town of Rowley in the spring of 1689. The original grant of Rogers and his company extended from the ocean to the Merrimac river, where the city of Haverhill now stands. The first printing press in America came in the same vessel with Rogers and its first work was the printing of the Freemans’ Oath. The ancient records of Ipswich and Rowley dis- close the very lively concern of the early settlers over the establish- ment of Common Schools. The most celebrated teacher of the seven- teenth century, Ezekiel Cheever, 26 taught the grammar school in Ips- wich for more than ten years. Har- vard College was created by the General Court in 1636, “that the commonwealth may be furnished with knowing and understanding men, and the churches with an able ministry.” For nearly fifty years over half the graduates of Harvard entered the ministry. The confederacy of 1643 is an im- portant event in the history of New England. Massachusetts, Plymouth, Connecticut, and New Haven united in a league to defend themselves against the Indians, the French, and the Dutch. For forty years this union lasted and its results may be seen in the North American Confed- eracy a century later and in the constitutional development of our country. With the restoration of the House of Stuart another cloud darkened the New England sky, the inevitable conflict with the Indians. In King Philip’s war twelve out of ninety towns were laid in ashes, six-hun- dred buildings destroyed, and one hundred thousand pounds of colo- nia] money expended. The histori- an of the Indian wars, the Rev. Wil- liam Hubbard of Ipswich, has left us the story of General Dennison, the commander-in-chief of the colo- nial forces, of Major Samuel Apple- ton who was especially active, and of Captain Brocklebank of Rowley who with his entire command was drawn into ambush at Sudbury and killed in the last real fight of the war. The appointment of Sir Edmund Andros as governor of all the colon- ies and his arrival at Boston were the scenes of great consternation. He suspended charters, assumed legislative powers, and levied taxes. His actions brought open insurrec- itons and ended only with the Rev- olution in England and the acces- sion of William and Mary to the throne. William Phipps, a native of New England, was inaugurated first governor under the new char- ter. In later years his nephew, Spencer Phipps, who was born in Rowley became governor. Someone has said, “The progress of liberty is like the advance of a tide. When its highest wave is reached it breaks and falls away, and appears to have spent itself, but the never changing ocean keeps what it gains, renews it strength, and advances once more.” The great day of the Puritans who settled America was followed by the rule of Charles H, a pension- er of France, and James 11. But the principles of Cromwell came to the front with William and Mary. This reign gave way to the corrup- tion of the House of Hanover, but liberty triumphed through the voice of Pitt and the victory of Wolfe at Quebec. Pitt in turn gave way to North and the despots of the Stamp Act Hiid the loss of the colonies. But liberty v as not dead nor sleeping in the suhsenuent triumph of the Re- form Bill, the rights of juries, and Ca th ol ic Email ci pati on . It has been the same in our coun- try. The period following the Rev- olution brought the season of brok- en trusts, divided counsels, and na- tional weakness. But in all history mankind has not been free from er- rors and any nation however intelli- gent has not been exempt. There is as little in the annals of our his- tory that needs an apology as there is in those of any people of recorded times. IJbertv from the outset was sacred Iv cherished as the greatest of all blessings, popular rights were 27 jealously guarded, and an active re- sistance to oppression was never lacking. The influence which the New W ' orld has exerted on the Old, the pi-obleins that have been wrought out, the advancement which has been made in all the liberal arts and sciences, especially in the develop- ment of a broader conception of the problems of spiritual interests, are monuments to the memory of the Puritans who settled our country in the cause of liberty. CLASS day parts HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1930 Herbert Bowen In the fall of 1926, we, the class of 1930, entered upon our career in Manning High School as freshmen. It was a beautiful fall morning when we climbed the back stairs amid the cheering of the so-called upper classmen. In due time we reached what is properly known as the “attic.” We were met there by Mrs. Lord and Miss Stone who kindly helped us find our seats and get acQuainted with our class mates from Rowley. Of course, we went through the usual routine of initia- tion but 1 regret to say it isn’t what it used to be. We had been in school about a week when Mr. Whipple told us we might hold a classmeeting and elect our officers. They were as follows: President, Kenneth MacLeod ; vice president, Sumner Raymond ; secre- tary, Herbert Bowen ; treasurer. Burton Varney. Now that we were duly establish- ed members of the school, we were allowed to hold a social. A com- mittee was elected and under the di- rection of Lillian Newman, a very successful social was held. We are very proud of the fact that the old stand-by “seven in and seven out” was elimated from the games. We ranked very high in athletics this year, especially with “Pansy” Munroe who defeated “Fit” Shep- pard in the mile run. “Brick” Mac- Gregor also deserves much credit for his outstanding work in hockey. The end of the year was drawing near and some of us began to worry about the results of the year’s’ work, but our minds were set at rest when we attended last chapel and heard our names read among those to be sophomores. The second year we were al- lowed to sit across the hall from the dignified and lofty seniors and were quite proud of the fact. It was also an honor to be let out of exile from the “attic.” We soon held our class- meeting and the following officers were elected : President, Paul Cal- lahan ; vice president, Harry Mun- roe ; secretary, Arthur Cole ; treas- urer, Burton Varney. In October the dreaded disease infantile paralysis came to pay us a visit and schools were closed for a period of five weeks. The en- forced vacation held us back in our school work and also in our social activities. It was during this year, however, that Mr. Tozer, the director of mu- sic in school, started to organize a band to be composed of members of the two lower classes, which there- fore included the present senior class. We worried through the sopho- more year and if we were lucky, we discovered at last chapel that we were to be juniors and upper- classmen. Maybe we didn’t feel big and imiportant! After a short summer vacation 28 the junior year was at hand and we began to take on new dignity and feel like permanent fixtures in the high school. Our annual classmeet- ing was held and the following peo- ple were elected : President, Ken- neth MacLeod ; vice president, Mel- vin Haley; secretary, Herbert Bow- en ; treasurer, Edward Dolan. Just before Christmas we held a play for the school assembly. It was conscientiously prepared by the cast but nearly ended fatally when our class chauffeur, “ArP’ Cole, while furnishing transportation for some of the actors, turned turtle in Rowley and slightly injured three of the cast beside himself. In October the instruments for the band had arrived and the boys be- gan to take lessons and learn to play them. They progressed with their rehearsing until May 29, 1929 when they made their first public appearance in their new uniforms of blue and orange capes and white hats and trousers. You could see the boys felt quite proud of them- selves and they were not the only ones. In fact the whole school was proud of them. The band also played at the graduation exercises of 1929 and added much to the spirit and enthusiasm of the foot- ball games last fall. On November 8, 1929 when patriotic exercises were held in the town hall, Edith Richardson first acted as drum ma- jor for the band and contributed largely to its creditable appearance. The school owes much to the Rotaiy Club who made this band possible. Soon after the Chilstmas assem- bly, committees were elected and pi-eparations for the prom were in full swing. On the eighteenth of January we all gathered at the town hall to dance our feet off. Much credit is due Arthur Cole for his artistic decorating of the hall. The prom was a success in every way. The rest of the year was unevent- ful except for having a social and getting our class rings of which we were very proud. June came along at last and we were to be seniors. Ah ! Mighty seniors, the lords of the high school. It was with this feeling that we passed into the senior room where we soon learned that we were not as mighty as we felt. At an early date we held a class- meeting and elected Melvin Haley, a Rowley boy, president; with Paul Callahan, vice president; Samuel Koffman, secretary; and Edward Dolan, treasurer. I should like to call to your attention at this point the fact that there has been no of- fice held by a girl during our ca- reer. Although we have no preju- dice, of course, against the fairer sex, still we offer with some temeri- ty the suggestion that this fact may account for the capable and har- monious management of class af- airs. At Thanksgiving time of the pres- ent school year the seniors gave a short play in assembly. The play demanded a turkey on a table and thanks to the costumes made by Mary Stone and an efficient coi’ps of workers, the turkey, composed of some small (?) membei’s of the class, e. g. Callahan, Koffman, Raymond, Mary Hendei’son, Virgin- ia Smith, and others, api)eared quite realistic. Reheai ' sals wei’e painful foi- all concerned, but fortunately groans and squeals wei-e conti’olled during the actual performance. Without a doubt you all know what the next big event of the yeai was — the senioi- ])lay whei ' e Ilay- mond played the part of a peiTect lover and liar. “Pee Wee” in black 29 wi and nuislache appeared ex- tremely vicious for a little fellow. I ' atch, the mischief maker in the corner, was certainly a hit in the jiart of a bishop, and as for chorus Kiris, . iary Hrennan and flora Kust took the prize. Kven bashful cieorK’e Hall, our little freshman chaser, turned out O. K. Ah I The biK event arrived at last. W e were to have our pictures taken. What an event it was! The girls came to school all primped up, and the boys, all hoping to look like John Barrymore, posed with that he-man expression. When the pic- tures arrived, there was much sigh- ing and groaning amid the war cry of “Got a picture of me?” Although the pictures wei’e taken, we see by the advertisement in “The Tiger” that the Purdy Studio is still doing business. Near the last of April of this pres- ent school year the juniors gave the seniors a farewell dance with mu- sic furnished by the school orches- tra. The hall was prettily decorat- ed in the senior class colors and they had also made attractive dance or- ders for the occasion. It was a suc- cessful affair and the seniors take this opportunity to thank the ju- niors for a very good time. This was the last real event for us as seniors until graduation and we began to realize that our school days in Manning High were about over. W e regretted this as we real- ized that we were leaving behind us the happiest days of our life. The last few weeks were busy but happy ones and we are glad they were because it took our thoughts away from leaving Mann- ing High School which had shel- tered us for four long years and furnished us with many happy mem- ories. GIFTS TO GIRLS Sumner Raymond A short time ago, realizing that graduation was drawing near, I set to thinking what 1 should present as gifts to the girls of the class of 1930. But think as 1 might, I could ai rive at no definite conclusions. Days passed and still I had no gifts. 1 was becoming very anxious. As you see I have them all at present! 1 did not get them, however, through my own ingenuity, but in another strange and almost unbe- lievable manner. This is my story. This fine summer weather which we have been having of late aroused within me a feeling of uneasiness. I wanted to get out into the wide open spaces. I decided to go camping. So I took my tent and other camp- ing paraphernalia and one evening strolled to the top of Heartbreak Hill. Just as the beautiful sun was sinking into the west, I forgot all my troubles and gazed at the glorious sunset. Never before had I realized what love I had for the grandness of nature. At length I pitched my tent and was about to retire when I noticed to my great disappointment that the atmosphere had changed. The golden rays of the sun no longer lit up the heavens but in their place were dark overhanging clouds, swept along by a stiff wind which sent little shivers running up and down my back. A storm was ap- proaching. Soon I could hear the raindrops pattering on the leaky roof of my tent, which was being hurled back and forth by the fierce wind. Strange to say the grandness of na- ture and the wide open spaces had lost all attraction for me. To make the situation more uncomfortable, I 30 had no door on my tent and at times 1 was almost certain that I saw strange shapes and forms flitting about among the trees. I was not at all frightened but was becoming rather lonesome. At length I drop- ped off to sleep with thoughts of ghosts and spirits still lingering in my mind . I do not know how long I had slept when I was awakened by a low moaning outside my tent. At first I thought it might be the wind but as it continued I knew it must be something worse. At length 1 gained courage and demanded in a hoarse whisper, “Who goes there, friend or foe?” In response to my question a strange form appeared at the doorway and seemed to float rather than to walk up to my bed- side. For a moment I was petrified. At length the figure spoke, say- ing, “I am the spirit of Heartbreak Hill who has come to help you with the gifts for the girls of the class of ’30.” Immediately I thought of the beautiful Indian maiden who, years ago had been so heart-broken on a rock not far away. I was beginning to feel more comfortable. But as the moon came out from behind a black cloud and I was able to see the per- son before me, 1 was greatly disap- pointed to find that she was not beautiful at all, but a bent, wrin- kled faced, old woman who grinned down upon me. The creature intei’i ' upted my thoughts and said, “I come directly from the dark lower world and I am intimately acquainted with all the girls of your class. I will tell you suitable gifts foi them.” I was much surpi’ised that one from the dark lower world, where the wild and wayward spirts dwell, should know anything about the girls of my class but nevertheless I gave her the names of the girls and this is what she told me. “To Phyllis McCormick, the fierce man-hater of your class, you should give this strong shield, that she may protect herself from Cu- pid’s piercing arrows. To Althea Frazier, this garage man who will change her tires for her should she ever be without her “Jack.” To Helen Bemis, this pair of bracelets that she may never sepa- rate herself from her friend, Virgin- ia Smith. To Kathryn Sheehan, this medi- cine chest so that when she feels ill, she may have a certain “Herb” to comfort and cure her. To Thelma VlacKenny, who has attained some fame as a vocal solo- ist this pitch pipe that she may al- ways get the right pitch. To Virginia Scahill these lemons should she ever get tired of “Pickle.” To Irma Conant, who has such a soft sweet voice this loud speaker that she may make herself heard. To Ruth Bailey, your class musi- cian ,this grand piano. To Elsie W tson, this little wax fish that she may always remember her happy diiys with anothei ' in Gloucester. To Dorothea Scahill, a powerful hunting rille to remind her of her good times among the “Wiles.” To Virgina Smith, youi- class vamp, this make-up kit that she may always be an rJtraction for the men. To Edith Itichardson, this mega- phone as a token of remembi’ance of hei days as cheei- leadei’ for the teams of Ma iir ' ng High. To Mary i bmderson, wlio lias fi e- (jiiently boi rovv-jd her lunch from Todd, a l)ox full of cheese niblets. 31 that she may novel liun ry. ' ho iMai y Slone, this camera so that slie may take snapsliots of her boy friends, thus obviating the ne- cessity of buying a picture of a whole team in order to get one of a particular boy. ' fo Hope Claxton, who is famed as a lover in your class, this milk pail, so that she may learn the ways of the farm in preparation foi a life as a farmer’s wife. To Marion Saltzberg, this pair of non-breakable glasses for use if she should tvei war t to play girls’ bas- ketball again. To Mai ' garet MacLean, Rufina Pollard, Laureen Phelan, and Helen Lamiiropoulos who are all such quiet girls, these rather clamorous instruments with which they may form a kitchen orchestra. To Phyllis Pickard, this little boat in which she may go sailing with Captain Howe. ' fo Helen Foster, who is quite an authority on jazz music, this fish- hoi’ii with which she may join our jazz orchestra. To Flora Rust, this fine horse, with the advice, “Never give up the Chase.” To Chai ' lotte Cuik, this basket and ball to serve as a reminder of hei happy days in basketball. To Phyllis Haggerty, an umbrella to use when the weather is “Cloudy.” To Marietta Scotton, who writes such muSiCal poems about flowers, ti ees and brooks, this bull-frog whose melodies will certainly in- spii e her to verse. To Gretchen Lovell, this nurse’s uniform in which she may be a great help to a certain medical stu- dent. To Kathleen Morphew, this fine coal hod in which she may carry her “I ' ete. ’ To Ethel Galanis, this beautiful harj) that she may hold the title of class saint undisputed and add to her saintly accomplishments. To Mary Brennan, your class in- fant, this bottle of Mellin’s Food for healthy babies.” It was then that the old creature’s voice died away. I looked around and found that she was nowhere to be seen. I should have preferred to thank her but now that she was gone, what did I care ? I had my gifts, and besides she wasn’t the beautiful Indian maiden anyway. GIFTS FOR BOYS Mary Stone When drifting down the river in my canoe so fast And building castles in the air which surely could not last, Wondering and thinking of some gifts for senior boys. I was suddenly brought back to earth by a loud and startling noise. I had bumped into a pirate ship and there was Captain Kidd. He gave me this old sea chest and nailed down the lid. The contents were surprising; there was nothing else to do But to take the gifts safely home and present them now to you. Pee Wee Dolan, our baby boy and also our class pest, To steal your lunch he’ll try his very, very best. This pair of kiddy rompers for him was surely meant. And by bold Captain Kidd and his pirates sent. 32 Sammy Koffman is our famous class clown. At the National he works and weighs by the pound. This hat we give him and hope that it fits ; So, Sammy, be careful and guard your wits. To Leonard Phelan who we can plainly see Just hopes and hopes for his “Hope” to agree, WeJl give this chest which is made of tin In hopes that he’ll keep his gentle “Hope” in. Arthur Cole lives on the outskirts of the town. For him we have candy to eat when homeward bound. And think of the girl who sold him candy Who in his estimation, is certainly dandy. Kenneth MacLeod is the next one to treat. This taxi we’ll give him, ’cause he can’t be beat. Over the road to Boston or any old place He’ll be sure to take you with a very good grace. Herbie Bowen, alas! is our bold class sheik. And foi admiring lady friends he hasn’t far to seek. But a certain cashier in a grocery stoi-e really takes his eye; So if I give him this cash register, he’ll know the reason why. Melvin Haley’s our president and class orator too. To him the praise of all his class- mates is due. In order that he may always large audiences reach We hand him this silver polish, an aid to silvery speech. Freddie Pickard is our able soda clerk. At playing football he is never known to shirk. We give to him this airplane to glide through the air. It’s not far to “Virginia” if the weather is fair. Joseph Patch is a quiet lad, serious, and sedate. This golden crown he wins when it comes to a debate. He cares not for airplanes, ’tis not of them he sings; His aim is much higher, he admires the “Kings.” Jarvis Appleton is another of our favorite classmates. We give him this trap for old time’s sake. For he is our trapper and loves to roam Though we find him quite often next door to his home. To Sumner Raymond, the handsom- est boy in our class We give this vanity case and hope it will last For directions he needs none, he has seen them before. If you don’t believe it, ask the girls in Room Four. Joe Saroka, oui class woman hater is he. We give him this bull-dog as fierce as can be. Carry him with you whei’e ever you go So the ladies won’t harm you and bother you so. 83 Vassilios Ahladas thouj ’h liked by liis class, Sometimes j ets nu vy when they tease him, alas! To prevent him from being too an- gry a male We’ll give him a bottle of cool gin- ger ale. Chan Todd comes next and we give him “two guns,” For this is the nickname we call him in fun. llis dreams are of cowboys and the wild woolly west. Bears, buffaloes, and Indians he’ll pursue with much zest. Edward Perry is a lover of music, they say. And we give him this flute to play every day. We hope he can use it and will give it good care, And think of us often, while playing music so rare. Paul Callahan, our vice president, loves Fords, you see So here’s a garage which will hold two or three. His “Ford” is quite different, but here I must hush. For if I say any more, I shall cause him to blush. George Hall goes to Rowley which isn’t very far; So to accompany him on his travels, here’s a small guitar. He’ll surely serenade her with a warm and tender strain And will play, “Who Is Sylvia?” for his constant refrain. Russell Czyryca comes next and class artist we see. For him we have paints and all will agree Painting landscapes or ladies he’s right there with the brush. We’ll wish him success in life’s hur- ry and rush. Joe Sikora is shy and bashful, it seems. We’ll give him this sled to go coast- ing in dreams. Because we know that he loved it last winter with “Bee.” So this is a constant reminder, you see. Brick McGregor who though he’s a high jumper Cannot jump fences without a bumper. Here’s a pair of pants with a rein- forced lining For which we’re quite sure there’ll be no undermining. I think Captain Kidd has remem- bered you all And you’ll cherish these gifts both large and small. For I know you’ll admit that the Captain’s been kind And now I’ll retire, if you’re sure you don’t mind. CLASS PROPHECY Edith Richardson Paul Callahan Scene — Abode of crystal gazer in New York Time— 1945 Edith — Sit down, young man, and tell me what I can do for you. Paul — I am in financial difficulties and I contemplate putting all I own in some stocks. I wish to know whether or not this would be a wise move. Edith — I see. Your name, please? Paul — Callahan. Paul Callahan, the broker. 34 Edith — Why, Click ! How are you ? Paul— Huh - What? Edith — Don’t you know me ? Edith Richardson? I graduated in your class. Paul — Oh - now I remember. Sure enough, but what are you doing in that outfit? Edith — Well, you see, Pve been touring the country with Gorbo- duc, my Ford, and he met with a sad fate, and this is the easiest way to earn my way home. What are you doing ? Paul — Pm playing the market. I’ve just been to Chicago on business. 1 was nearly held up by a robber with two guns, but it turned out all right for the robber pocketed his weapons and I found myself shaking hands with “Two Gun” Todd. I happened to be looking for a good publishing house and he directed me to Irma Conant’s. She did so much typing for “The Cub” that she makes quite a com- petent publisher. She has just put out Sumner Raymond’s com- plete, unabridged dictionary. Edith — Well, I rather expected to see the hero of our senior play do something more daring, but then he was always waxing eloquent. He must have learned to spell, however. Paul — He has done something more daring. He has a whole army of Frenchmen after him because he has revolutionized their language by the publishing of the “Ray- mond Pronunciation” based on his original ideas exhibited in high school. Irma printed that along with Margaret McLean’s pamphlet “How to Live on a Farm and Keep Thin.” She writes from personal experience. Lau- reen Phelan was a great friend of hers, wasn’t she? What’s she doing ? Edith — I don’t know but we can soon find out if you’ll sit very quietly. There — what’s that ? A ranch and there’s Laureen riding a bucking broncho. See Lennie — he’s getting a great laugh out of it. I’ll bet she’s having some time keeping him down on the farm. What else did Irma have to say? Paul — Well, you must remember how Virginia Smith used to amuse the high school bunch with her stories. The freshmen swallowed them all whole. Now Irma has published Virginia’s book of fairy-tales — but there. I’ve talked too much. Tell me about your- self. Edith — Oh, Gorboduc and I started for the south several years ago and ended up at Ruth Bailey’s studio in Hollywood. She’s train- ing voices for the talkies. While Gorboduc and I were imposing upon Ruth’s hospitality, Gretchen Lovell came over to see us. She’s picking “Guys” for extras and if she handles this as well as she did our senior play money, her future is made. Of course, you’ve heard of Jarvis Appleton’s suc- cess as a movie hero ? Paul — Yes, I’ve seen several pic- tures in which he has starred. Edith — 1 saw him in pei ' son. He’s as good looking as ever but not as gii l shy. But to get on with my story. I spent the following summer in the Maine woods. Rus- sell Czyryca was my nearest neighbor. He’s playing hermit up there to avoid the women. He has a long beai’d and seems quite con- tented. Mai’ietta Scotton was only twenty miles away fi’om me, and she stays up there among the 35 birds and trees writing inspira- tional poetry and living in hopes that some day she’ll write some- thing worthy of publication. In the fall when Ciorboduc and 1 got to Portland we got caught in a dreadful thunder shower. We ran to the nearest hotel. Even a forbidding sign “Bachelors’ Quar- ters’’ didn’t keep us out. We were greeted at the door by Hope C lax- ton. 1 suppose 1 should have been surprised but — 1 wasn’t, for she always was partial to oldish men. She kept us for the night and when she served breakfast the next morning, who should walk into the dining room but Ahladas, Hope’s star boarder. Paul — Hope’s side-kick, Marion Saltzberg, is an oculist here. She has invented a new kind of un- breakable glass which she sells exclusively to athletes. Mary Stone and Mary Brennan are al- so in business here. They run a “Brownie” shop. When Pm very hungry, I go in there and get fed up on “Brownies” just as I used to in my high school days. Ethel Galanis and Helen Lampropoulos, those quiet, reserved, young la- dies, are running one of the wild- est night clubs in New York. It’s wicked. I visit it quite often. She said she had seen Flora Rust and Phyllis McCormack, but she did- n’t say what they were doing. Edith — Let’s find out. That would be fun. Sit still now. Look — there’s a lot of chorus girls be- side a sign. What does it say? Paul — Ziegfeld Follies of 1945. Featuring Flora Rust and Phyllis McCormack. Edith — Yes, and there they are. Right in the front line. Phyllis is one high stepping chorus girl, isn’t she ? I suppose Flora got her training from the senior play. 1 forgot to tell you that 1 got stuck in Rowley on my way north. Cor- boduc had a severe heart attack right in front of a hydrant. A policeman told me to move along but the poor Ford just couldn’t. 1 gazed heavenward for aid and there above me loomed a big sign. “Foster, Pollard, and Pick- ard, Infants’ Shoes.” From a win- dow just below the sign three very familiar faces bobbed. After subduing their laughter, I got them to help me take Corboduc to the infirmary which Joe Patch is running there. He has taxis for his “King” on the side line. I stayed for a week with the shoe manufacturers while Joe nailed Corboduc’s tin together again. They told me that there was method in their madness. They manufacture shoes for the pur- ' pose of getting them small enough J| for themselves. Paul — Thelma MacKenney was a j! friend of Helen Foster’s wasn’t u she ? ' ( Edith— Yes. Paul — -Well, she’s running a school j of Physical Education here. Just the elite are admitted, of course. j I had occasion to visit her only -j last week. She said that she had j seen Phyllis Haggerty. Phyllis ■ was in town replenishing her ji wardrobe. She is still waiting for j her Dummer man to graduate and ,’j when he does, I guess we can all , anticipate an invitation to her i wedding. She does some writing, I believe, during her days of wait- ing. i j Edith — I don’t suppose Kenneth MacLeod minds if that Dummer , man never graduates, does he? Paul — No, I suppose not. He’s run- ning a private taxi line. He did j so much “taxi-ing’’ during his high school career that he’s quite an efficient driver. He visits a certain “Brownie” shop quite of- ten. I’ve seen him there. Edith — I suppose you’re voting for Haley this week, aren’t you ? He’s running for senator, you know. Paul — How well I know it! I got a long distance call from him last week. He wanted me to come to him at once. The call was so ur- gent that I feared he might be dying. I took the fastest dirigible obtainable to get to Philadelphia and see him. In the course of the trip the captain came around and spoke to his passengers, but I was the only one who recog- nized him. It was Fred Pickard in person. He’s piloting the craft and likes his work but then he always was air minded. He dropped me on Haley’s front lawn and I rushed in expecting to find “Mevy” signing his will. What a blow ! He’s running for senator and only wanted financial aid. He has made quite a name for himself going about the coun- try gathering statistics — for Ray- mond’s benefit probably. Char- lotte Cuik is helping him out, — making campaign speeches, etc. in his behalf. She is quite influ- ential in political circles. You see what we all might have been if we’d been as attentive as she in economics classes. Edith — What’s that you have there ? Paul — Oh, that’s a book I just bought from Helen Bemis. Slie’s a book agent, you know. Edith — I didn’t know, but it’s a good jolj for her. She always had a good line. Paul — Well, she had only to roll her big brown eyes at me and I said, “Sold.” I believe she in- tends marrying her Rowley farm- er soon. It’s getting late. Let’s go to the “Brownie” shop and eat. Edith — I will if they serve clams. I like them. They always remind me of home. Paul— Let’s go then. Perhaps we’ll get some that “Brick” MacGre- gor dug. Edith — Is he still clamming? Paul — Yes, but not all the time. He works hard at Clamming all sum- mer and lives the life of a prince in the city m the winter time. Edith — Rather a changeable life. What’s my old pal on the cheer- ing SQuad doing? Paul— Who? Dot Scahill? Edith— Yes. Paul — I don’t know. Edith — Well, if you won’t move, perhaps we can find out. Con- centrate hard now. See — there’s a taxi. It’s traveling pretty fast. Who’s that driving? Wait, it’s coming nearer. Why, it’s Dot Scahill. She was keen about driv- ing cars in high school. Who’s that in the back seat? Her sister. I’ll bet. Yes, it’s Virginia. They’re still sticking together. Paul — Of course, you went to the fire last night. Edith — No, I didn’t. I heard the alarm, but I’m not well enough acquainted with the town to go about much. Where was it? Paul — Well, Vii’ginia Scahill was the cause of it. She has an apaid- ment and lal)oratory in one of the sky scrapers. It seems she’s tiy- ing to find a shade of red that will go with her hair, and in the midst of her experiments last night the whole thing blew uj). A number of our classmates were involved. People ran hei’e, thei’e, and eveiywhere in theii i)ajamas. Two youjiji: men, clin inj’’ to eacli other, came to me and asked foi my overcoat and I handed it over to Saroka and Sikora. They’re playinp: to -etlier just as they did on our football team so many years aj� -o. They’re both mechan- ics and they lived on the ninety- ninth floor of this sky scraper to avoid women. They were humil- iated to death standing:, pajama clad, before that crowd. Kay Morphew suffered severely from that fire, too. She’s a coal mer- chant and she had an office on the ground floor of the burned building. She specializes, of course, in “Peat.” She lost all she had stored there — but she still has a little “Pete” left. Tell me, how did you get here? Edith — Well, you see, Gorboduc and I started for home in the early fall so as to get there be- fore winter came upon us, but a circus was our doom. A large sign on a tent, “Join the Crowd and Hear the Sympathy Orches- tra” so reminded me of my high school days that I sold Gorboduc’s spare shoe and went in. There, leading the Sympathy Orchestra was Edward Perry, and on a big pole Sammy Koffman, most ef- fective in his clown suit, was do- ing all sorts of stunts. In the midst of a ring of “Cubs” and “Tigers”, cracking her whip and shouting at her animals, was Mary Henderson. Paul — Well, I rather expected our class clown to continue to clown but I must confess that I expect- ed bigger things from Mary. Edith — As she later said she had grown so accustomed to looking after “Cubs” and Tigers” in her high school days that she has tak- en to training them. I saw them all after the performance and they gave me a cheery send-ofl. Before 1 got as far as the en- trance a squad of elephants, stampeding furiously, came upon us. Tin rained everywhere and then a sudden calm. 1 wakened to find myself in a hospital with Kay Sheehan, the head nurse, bending over me, extracting tin, while Elsie Watson, her assistant, held smelling salts suffocatingly close to my nostrils, and doctors swarmed everywhere. Paul — Were you badly hurt? Edith — Oh, I was quite well after two weeks there and all ready to sue the circus company. I looked up George Hall vTio is practicing law but found that he specialized in wills and so, I bequeathed Gor- boduc’s remains to the junk heap. Of course, the document was not as elaborate as our class will, but it took all of Hall’s cleverness to convince me that this was the right thing to do with all that tin I loved to touch. I wept for a week over Gorboduc’s grave and then set out to walk home. Once on the broad highway a chauf- feur driving a Rolls Royce stopped and asked me if I didn’t want a lift. Not wishing to hurt his feelings I got in and found myself face to face with “Herbie” Bowen. He is a prosperous busi- ness man. He bought up all the First National Stores and is doing quite well. He dropped me in New York and here I am. Paul—Where’s “Art” Cole, Herbie’s old pal ? Edith — Oh ! I’ve met him in every place I’ve stopped at. He came in mighty handy when there was something wrong with Gorboduc. When he’s not following me, he 38 runs a school of dancing in New York. Paul — By the way, Pee Wee Dolan was asking for you the other da y. He came on from. Detroit on busi- ness. He’s manufacturing stilts so that other mortals will not have to be handicapped by height. It was always his ambi- tion to become a man. He told me that he had seen Althea Fra- zier in Detroit. She went there to buy a new Ford and Henry threw a “Jack” in with it. Why — here it is 5 o’clock and I’ve got to meet Haley at 5 :30 to talk over his financial difficulties. I really must go, but I’ll see you again. Don’t bluff too many peo- ple now. Edith — Well, this has been an in- teresting afternoon. We must go to Ethel’s club soon. Good day and oh, Paul, I wouldn’t worry too much about those stocks.

CLASS MOTTO— “Carpe diem.’’ (Seize the opportunity.) JARVIS APPLETON “Mucker” is the clammer who tied with Sumner Raymond for hon- oi’s as the best looking ))oy. And he certainly is handsome, as many boys know to their sorrow, for he has a vyinning way with the gii ls. Member of A. A. ; Best Looking Boy. VASILIOS AHLADAS “Basil,” a new member of our class, was willed to us by Peabody High. A dull moment is very much enlivened by his presence. His an- tics in French class have done much to pass the time and break the mo- notony of the period. Vice Presi- dent of French Club. 43 RUTH BAILEY Ruth is our class musician and of- ten her fing-ers tire of continually running up and down the keyboard for our benefit. She is gay and likeable ; so we always want her around. Member of A. A.; Vice President of Glee Club. HELEN BEMIS Helen is a popular girl who loves to go on overnight hikes and keep Mrs. Lord awake. She is jovial and spontaneous and joins in all school activities with a zest. Often in a classroom you can hear her laugh ring out, breaking the silence. Mem- ber of A. A. ; Glee Club ; French Club. 44 HERBERT BOWEN I “Herbie’’ is very popular with the f ladies and this has won for him the title of class sheik. His ability as drummer and leader of the orchestra has put over many enjoyable socials. He was chosen as MacLeod’s secre- tary for two years. President of Commercial Club ; Class Historian ; I Tiger Staff ; Band ; Orchestra ; Mem- i ber of A. A. i MARY BRENAN Mary is our class baby and what a cute one ! She is always giggling, eating, and talking, which seems to oe as much a pail of her as her keen intellect, for she is one of our hon- or students. Mary is always around with her baby laugh dui-ing any ac- tivity. Member of A. A.; Glee Club; Senior Play; Graduation Es- say; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Gold Honoi Award. 45 PAUL CALLAHAN “Click” is our class athlete. His unusual ability in football and bas- ketball has won many games foi the team. “Click” has also attained fame in the music line tooting a sax- aphone. He is a very dear compan- ion of lower classwomen. Football Captain ; Basketball ; Vice-Presi- dent of Senioi- Class; Vice-President of Varsity Club ; Treasurer of A. A. ; PT-ench Club; Band; Orchestra; Class Prophecy; Class Athlete; “Tiger” Staff. HOPE CLAXTON Hope is rather quiet but at times she bursts forth into eloquence to the surprise of the class. The fact that she is the better half of the pair of class lovers proves that she is dangerous. She takes an interest in all school affairs. Member of A. A.; Glee Club; “Tiger” Staff; Base- ball ; Basketball ; French Club. 46 IRMA CONANT Irma is a silent member of the class, for which we are thankful, for a few of them are necessary to offset the eloquence of some of the rest of us. She is the sort of girl who can get along without preju- dices and one who is an asset to the class. Member of A. A. ; Glee Club ; Commercial Club. ARTHUR COLE It took “Art” a long time to de- cide to come along with us but we’re all glad that he finally did. Me is good natured and happy-go- lucky. Even tipping cars over doesn’t bother him, l)ut a ceilain drum major does. He is in the lime- light when it comes to fooling and playing hockey. Membei of A. A.; Hockey Letter. 47 CHARLOTTE CUIK Charlotte is a quiet, steadfast girl, but one whom the class would do well to follow as an example. She is zealous in all her studies and does good work. Member of A. A. ; Glee Club ; French Club ; Senior Play; Basketball; Baseball. RUSSELL CZYRYCA “Rus” is another new member of our class, from St. John’s Prep. Even though he is very quiet, he has a sense of humor which his classmates can appreciate. Although new to the football team, he proved to be invaluable. Member of A. A. ; Football; Baseball. 48 EDWARD DOLAN “Pee Wee’’ is the little fellow who has played a big part in our class. The fact that he has been treasurer of the class for four years shows how highly we regard him. Despite his high scholastic ability, he finds time to bother everyone and has earned for himself the title of class pest. Treasurer of Senior Class ; Treasurer of French Club ; Business Manager of “Cub” and “Ti- ger;” Senior Play; Band; Orches- tra ; Graduation Essay. HELEN FOSTER Helen is a studious girl who al- ways knows her lesson, and saves the day for the rest of us who are not so ambitious in our studies. Al- though she is usually quiet, at times she becomes veiy lively, and loves to tease — Edith especially. She won a prize for her composition in mu- sic. Member of A. A.; Glee Club; French Club. 49 ALTHEA FRAZIER “Al” with her merry laugh and her ticklishness is very indispensa- ble to our class. She seems to be indispensable to a certain soph- omore, too. She willingly enters in- to our activities and is popular with all of us. Glee Club ; Member of A. A. ; Commercial Club. ETHEL GALANIS Here is our class saint, and isn’t she a real one? She has a madon- na-like face and her quiet, reserved manners are charming. She has very little to say, but she alv ays knows her lesson and would never come to school unprepared. She is an asset to any class or gathering. Member of A. A.; Glee Club. 50 PHYLLIS HAGGERTY Phyllis Haggerty is one of our most sophisticated classmates. In her junior year she made quite a name for herself as an orator. She is tall, graceful, and charm ing, and a willing helper in all class activi- ties. She is somewhat of a musician and acts as accompanist in music. Dummer and Ford owners are her weaknesses — but then, we all have them. Member of A. A. ; Glee Club ; “Cub” and “Tiger” staff ; Bronze Honor Award. Prench Club MELVIN HALEY “Mevy,” another of our boys from Rowley, has become very popular by his friendly disposition and al- so his curly hair. He was elected President of the Senioi- Class, Presi- dent of the A. A. during his senior year. “Mevy” was elected captain of the football team, but because of injuries was not able to fill the posi- tion. He was chosen the most pop- ular boy of the class. Gi’ad nation Essay. 51 GEORGE HALL “George’’ is a quiet lad who has a special preference for freshmen who come from Rowley. He showed much acting ability in taking the part of a big stock broker in our play. ' Member of A. A. ; Senior Play; Class Will. MARY HENDERSON Happy, good-natured Mary has brains and a laugh which are the en- vy of all of us. She piloted the “Tiger’’ and a whole crew of “Cubs’’ into the port of success. Her one failing is that of being ticklish. She’s a good sport and goes out for all the girls athletics. Member of A. A.; Glee Club; Editor-in-Chief of “Cub’’ and “Tiger” ; Gold Honor Award; Graduation Essay; Basket- ball ; Baseball. 52 SAMUEL KOFFMAN “Sam’’ is our class clown and he has some very original antics. His curly black hair is the envy of all the girls. Although Sam appears to have a great deal of poise, he really blushes very easily. He is a noted and regular patron of the candy room. Secretary of Senior Class; French Club; A. A.; Proper- ty Manager of Senior Play; “Tiger” Staff. HELEN LAMPROPOULOS Helen is a quiet, reserved young- lady, but her regular attendance at games proved her a good side-line athlete. She is a truly sedate sen- ior and she is right there whenever anything is liappening. Member of A. A.; (flee Club. 53 GRETCHEN LOVELL Gretchen is a born buisness wo- man. We know that from the way in which she handled the senior play. She is good-natured, jumpy, and studious. She has a natural weakness for “Guys” and her voice is the support of all the others when it comes to singing. Member of A. A.; Glee Club; French Club; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Business Manager of Senior Play; Bronze Honor Award ; Baseball. THELMA MacKENNEY Happy-go-lucky Thelma is a big part of our class; in fact, we just counldn’t get along without her. She has a winning smile and nothing ever worries her except styles, diets, and chemistry. She has the distinc- tion of being a radio artist and has an airy voice. Member of A. A. ; Glee Club; French Club. 64 MARGARET MacLEAN Margaret is one of our classmates who enjoys being quiet. She is tall and slim and makes us realize why gentlemen prefer blonds. She is cheerful and has a pleasant smile for everyone. Glee Club ; A. A. ; Commercial Club. KENNETH MacLEOD “Ken” has always been outstand- ing in getting things ready for our social activities. He is a willing helper and friendly with everyone — except Dummer men. He is an ex- pei-ienced leader, as is shown by the fact that he was our president in the freshman and junior year, success- fully putting through the Prom. His ever ready car has earned for him the title of class chauffeur. French Club; A. A.; Stage manager of Senioi- Play; “Tiger” Staff ; Class Day Committee. Staff ; A.

A. ; French Club ; Glee Club. WAREN McGREGOR “Brick” is an all-aroun d athlete. He has been a spectacular player in all sports and was the cause of our winning many football and hockey games. His ability to solve physics problems creates a great deal of envy among us. A. A. ; Var- sity Club; Football; Track; Captain of Hockey Team. 56 KATHLEEN MORPHEW One glance tells you that “Kay” is our prettiest girl, and we are not the only Ones who think so. We were fortunate in having her join us from Hamilton in her junior year, for she has proved to be in- dispensable. Her beautiful clothes and wavy hair cause much envy and her sunny personality makes her quite popular. President of Glee Club ; A. A. ; Senior Play. JOSEPH PATCH “Joe” is an actor of great ability. His ignorance of business in the sen- ior play greatly amused us all. As a bishop with his gray hair and side whiskers we could hardly i-ecognize )iim. Joe is an athlete and has won much renown in football. He is i)op- ular with the ladies, especially with a ceilain sophomore. A. A.; French Club; Varsity Club; Senior Play; “Tiger” Staff. 57 EDWARD PERRY ' ‘Eddie” is our class trumpet player. He has always helped to make our socials a success, and is also an asset to the band. A. A.; Varsity Club; French Club; Band; Orchestra. LAUREEN PHELAN Laureen is pleasingly plump and more pleasingly jolly. Her red cheeks (natural) cause many of the girls to envy her. How do you do it, Laureen? A. A.; Commercial Club, Glee Club. 58 LEONARD PHELAN ' ' Mike” holds the very fitting title cf class lover. We consider him very fortunate in winning over a more experienced (?) rival. But on the whole, “Mike” is a good all around student and an invaluable classmate. A. A.; Varsity Club; Commercial Club ; Letter Man in Football, FREDEPvICK PICKARD “Fred” is our class blusher and a favorite with the ladies. His special- ty is blondes. Fred is a very talent- ed actor, as he proved when he play- ed the part of a business man in the senioi’ play. He was one of the out- standing members of the football team. Vice-President of A.

Her love of fun and her effi- ciency in shorthand are the out- standing characteristics by which we know her. Glee Club; Commer- cial Club; A. A.; French Club. Short, good-natured, and peppy - --that’s Phyllis. Lunches and infor- mation are the two things which she generally has to offer. Here’s one case v here a little person is far from insignificant — hers was the vote that decided the girls’ class day regalia. A. A.; Glee Club. 60 SUMNER RAYMOND Here is Sumner, one of the best- looking boys in the class. He sure was a hit as a lover and liar in the senior play. He is quite a mischief- maker in Room 4, but we should have missed him if Mrs. Lord had been able to steal him. He is quite an athlete and popular with the members of the team. Varsity Club ; A. A.; French Club; “Tiger” and “Cub” Staffs; Letter Man in Foot- ball ; Senior Play. EDITH RICHARDSON “Edie” has performed the duties of cheer leader and drum major for LIS this year to everyone’s satisfac- tion. She is one of our most popu- lar girls, and has shown herself to be an excellent leader. As the moth- er in oui play, she was one of the outstanding charactei-s.

Her part in the senior play was very well taken and merited honorable mention in our selection of class actress. Glee Club ; A. A. ; Senior Play. MARION SALTZBERG Marion is of a very decided tem- perament and can always be de- pended upon for quick and stead- fast decisions. She is one of our best basketball players. She plans to be an interior decorator and has shown her taste in school affairs. Glee Club; French Club; “Tiger” Staff ; A. A. 62 JOSEPH SAROKA ' ‘Joe Charles” is our class woman hater. He may hate them, but we notice that he watches closely a cer- tain blonde member of our class. He has always entered into all the sports and the teams couldn’t get along without him. A. A.; Varsity Club; French Club; Letter Man in Football; Basketball; Captain of Baseball Team. DOROTHEA SCAIHLL “Dot” represents our class well in athletics. She was captain of the senior girls’ basketball team and as- sistant cheei’ leader. She has a charming smile, wnich eveiyone, es- pecially the boys, seems to eniov. Glee Club; A. A. 63 VIRGINIA SCAHILL MARIETTA SCOTTON Marietta is our class poet and she carries the philosophy of her po- etry into every day life. Her re- marks are continually amusing- us, and her efforts in French are the cause of much hilarity. However, she is quite unobtrusive in other re- spects, and very well liked. Glee Club; French Club; A. A.; “Tiger” Staff. Virginia has the same merry smile that her sister has, and between them both we are kept cheerful all the time. She, too is a basketball star. It seems to run in the family. Glee Club; A. A.; French Club. 64 CATHEYN SHEEHAN Cathiyn is still another one of the quiet g ' irls of our class. All we ever hear is her merry laugh, but we hear that quite often and it’s just to let us know that she’s enjoying her stay with us. Glee Club ; Commercial Club ; A. A. JOSEPH SIKORA “Chick” is very quiet and never disturbs us in the classrooms. He is so quiet that you would never think he had a girl. His curly hair is gazed upon with fond eyes by all the girls. He is an athlete like his pal “Joe Charles”. Member of A. A. ; French Club ; Varsity Club ; Let- ter Man in Baseball; Football, and Basketball. 65 MARY STONE Mary is our most popular girl as well as class actress. Her splendid part in the senior play won her the latter honor, and her winning smile won her the former. She was a membei of the basketball and base- ball teams and has managed the “hot-dog squad.” Treasurer of Glee Club ; French Club ; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Commercial Club; A. A. VIRGINIA SMITH Virginia is the reason why senior boys are seldom absent. However she has a little time for us girls, and vVe have found that her chief joy in life is harmless mischief-making. She is always ready to join in any- thing and help it along with her gaiety and clever ideas. French Club ; Secretary of Commercial Club; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; A. A. ; Secretary of Glee Club. 66 s f I CHANDLER TODD f “Chink” is the wild boy from Rowley. He and “Mucker” often startle us at recess by their remarks [ and actions. He acts quite desper- ate at times, but we know he is only fooling?. You can see that he is very good-looking, and he uses his looks I as an aid towards winning the heart I of a certain tall, senior blonde. I IMember of A. A. ELSIE WATSON Elsie is one of our most efficient typists and she lias helped a great deal in fui nishing the classes with necessary typing. She is very fi’iendly and (piiet (at times) and we all like hei . (Hee Club; A.

Haley was elect- ed captain but was unable to play because of illness. Callahan was elected at the beginning of the sea- son to fill the position. There were eight seniors on the team who re- ceived their letters. Ross, Richard Mansfield The results were as follows: Punchard High 6 Manning 0 Newburyport High 41 Manning 6 Reading High 12 Manning 0 Rockport High 6 Manning 13 Danvers High 0 Manning 12 Johnson High 12 Manning 0 Salem (N. H.) High 0 Manning 12 Hampton Academy 0 Manning 26 Rockport High 18 Manning 28 Manchester High 0 Manning 0 Atherton Howe was elected cap- tain for the season of 1930. 68 DOYS’ BASKETBALL Standing, left to right — Coach Coiiary, Lloyd Scott, Philip Blaisdcll, George Dziadose Seated, left to right — Joe Patch, Paul Callahan, Harry Munro, Joe Saroka, Joe Sikora HOCKEY Manning High had a hockey team after being idle for a season. Because of the fact that the play- ers had never played before on an organized team, the season wasn’t very successful. McGregor, the only letter man in school was chosen captain. McGregor and Pickard were the only seniors on the team ; so only two will be lost by gradu- ation. The results were as follows: Essex Aggie 1 Manning 2 Peabody High 4 Manning 0 Topsfield High 1 Manning 1 Dummer Academy 4 Manning 1 Essex Aggie 2 Manning 1 Danvers High 2 Manning 1 Gordon Player was elected cap- tain for the season of 1931. BASKETBALL Manning had a fair season with three victories and five defeats. The l)oys were handicapped because they were unable to practice until five o’clock after the offices in the town hall liave closed. There were four seniors who received their let- ters but there are many from the lower classes who liave had exi)eri- ence and will be regulars next year. 69 BOYS’ HOCKEY TEAM Standing, left to right, Arthur Brennan, Norman Ewing, Tony Cynkus, Walter Comeau, John Bialek, Roger Denningham, Manuel Alexopulous, Coach Burke Seated, left to right — Boleslaw Cynkus, Gordon Player, Warren McGregor Frederick Pickard, Arthur Cole BASEBALL Manning High’s baseball team had a very successful season. Coach Burke by hard work put on the field one of the best teams that has ever represented Manning in base- ball. Joseph Saroka was captain of the team.

Miss Lovell, the business manager worked hard on the sale of tickets and the result was very satisfactory. 70 SENIOR PLAY CAST Back row, Standing left to right — Joseph Patch, George Hall, Edward Dolan, Sumner Raymond, Fred Pickard, Charlotte Cuik. Seated, left to right — Mary Stone, Flora Rust, Edith Richardson, Kathleen Morphew, Mary Brennan MacLeod and Koffman, as proper- ty managers, deserve much credit for their work with the scenery. “Nothing But The Truth,” is a comedy in three acts. The scene of the first act is laid in a broker’s office in an uptown hotel; the sec- ond and third acts, the parlor in the summer home of E. M. Ralston. The pai’t of Robert Bennett was par- ticularly well played by Sumner Raymond whose efforts to tell the truth for twenty four hours foi m the plot of the play. Fred Ihckard as E. M. Ralston and George Hall as Dick Donnelly, both partners of Bob’s, acted especially well. Edward Dolan was really quite convincing in the part of VanDusen. In fact, by merely listening to his loud l)ooming voice, one would feel fully assured that he were a man. The role of Bisho]) Doran was well acted by Joseph Ihitch who pi ' oved to the audience “how very little he knew about business.” Mary Stone, as CJwen, daughter of Mr. and Mi’s. Ralston, pi ' oved herself vei y capa- ble of i)laying the leading lady. Edith Richardson took the pail of Mrs. Ralston, a dignified mati on. lUrr interpretation of the part, to- gether with her excel lent voice and enunciation, made hei one of the outstanding characters of tlie play. Kathleen Morjihew, as Ethel (’lark. 71 ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION Standing, left to right — Frederick Pickard, Treasurer; Harry Munro, Secretary; Paul Callahan. Vice President Seated — Melvin proved herself a skilled singer and pianist. The parts of the two chorus girls were played by Flora Rust and Mary Brennan who seemed equally well versed in the arts of throwing kisses and weeping. Charlotte Cuik Haley, President took very creditably the part of the maid. Between the acts the girls of the senior class sold candy. From this and the sale of tickets the sum of $209 was added to our treasury. 72 GLEE CLUL OFFICERS Standing, left to right — Mary Stone, Treasurer; Ruth Hailey, Vice President; Virginia Smith. Secretary Seated — Kathleen Morphed, President THE GLEE CLUB CONCERT The Glee Club Concert was held in the Opera House, Thursday even- iiiK, May fifteenth. The audience was a sizeable one in sjiite of the rainy weather. Seven numbers were well rendered by the Glee Club. Our assisting: artist was Mr. Field, a soloist, from Boston. All of his selections were very enthu- siastically received by the audience. This year, more than any other, 73 THE ORCHESTRA Standing, left to right — Ernest Smith, Harry Munro, Paul Callahan, Richard Garrett, Joe Adamowicz Seated, left to right — Herbert Bowen, Edward Dolan, Norma Tozer, Edward Perry, Fabian Ciolek the concert was an activity in which a larger part of the school partici- pated. Mildred McGlew ’33 gave two humorous readings and Norma Tozer, the club’s accompanist, play- ed a very interesting number. The Stein Song” as played by the orches- era and “The Frat March,” by the band were certainly very pleasing as shown by the loud applause. The semi-chorus, a chosen group from the club sang “Spring is Here” and “A Dream Boat Passes By.” However, the thing which seemed most pleasing to the audience was our school song. It was used three times as the last number on the pro- gram, being played once by the band, once by the orchestra, and sung by the Glee Club. The concert was certainly a big success ! The dramatic climax of the even- ing was a fire which broke out in the Opera House a few hours after the concert was over. Considerable damage v as done to the building and the grand piano hired for the occasion was ruined. Fortunate for us that it did not occur a few hours earlier. 74 FACULTY Standing, left to right — Miss Allen, Mrs. Cruickshank, Miss Streeter, Miss Ventres, Mr. Tozer, Mrs. Lord, Miss Blodgett.
