In a few years these same youths will he taking the places of the men and women of today and will carry on the affairs of the nation. May they profit by the mistakes that other people have made. Although this is one of the most critical times in history, it is necessary that the new graduates find their places in the world. In doing this their education is their best asset. By means of this education they may be able not only to lift this depression but even to forestall another by leaving valu ' able information to their successors. And they can only gather this informa tion by using their intelligence and the knowledge which they have gained in schools. Let us hope that as these youths realise the value of their edu- cation, they will continue to encourage progress of it everywhere.

With timid feet he trod the soft radh ance of the soil. Above him the sky was deepening into. the evening blue. There was no wind, but a cool mysterious atmosphere bathed him in its dew. “ ’Tis .heaven,” he whispered, filled with awe. Over the amber field of silence a silver chariot swept, drawn by gray horses with trappings of black and silver. And in the chariot — wonder of all wonders — a beautiful maiden. Beautiful beyond words. Hair like mkb night, eyes like stars, lips like coral, and skin like the virgin petal of a half ope’d rose. The chariot came to rest beside him swaying in the air. The maiden stretched a cool soft hand to him, and in a dream he found himself beside her. “Who are you?” he whispered. “I am Evening. Come with me, for your cloud boat has drifted away and this land is fading beneath my touch. Come with me.” The horses drifted onward noiselessly and with ease as on the wind. He was at peace. A breeze ran cool fingers through his hair and closed his eyes with a gentle touch. Awakening he found himself in Twilight and the maiden bending over him. Fragrance of the sleeping world breathed from her dusky hair. “Mother Darkness waits,” she said, “and I must go.” “You will leave me? I shall never see you more? Oh, leave me not in darkness, Leave me not in woe, Take me with you, Evening, Wherever you may go!” A sad smile crossed her features and dimmed the starry eyes. “You are mortal — I, a goddess. We must part — but do not fear! Every evening — when the Sun is sinking low I shall meet you as tonight — but I must go!” With a cool kiss on his forehead she was gone. He was standing in a meadow. Night was on the world, but a fire in his heart, burning with a silver flame, told him that forever after, Evening would be the same. He could quench his burning sorrow — wash his woe away — in the calm, sweet dew of Evening — at the close of every day. — Gertrude Berry, ’ 32 . Wings of the Night T HE evening sun had shot its last beams of sunlight across a small valley nestled among the foothills. Dusk was slowly covering the hills, when Martin Purington hurried his pack mules down the winding trail to a small cabin at the further end of the valley. June had arrived, and the entire valley was broken out in a profusion of wild flowers and blossoms. The orchard of wild cherry trees behind the cabin was in blossom, and sweet incense drifted upon the warm summer breezes, making the air fragrant with a delightful 13 odor that tilled one with an inexpressible feeling — a warmth, a joy, a supreme delight in life and all that existed. Wearily the traveler, a tall well built man of steel-grey eyes and dark hair, with a face that betrayed every passing emotion, unpacked the animals and turned them loose in a small corral. After washing in the cold stream at the end of the corral, he entered the cabin, which, although roughly made and enormous in proportions from the outward appearances, was decidedly different inside. A small cozy kitchen was at one end of the cabin, and three large rooms, — a parlor, library, and a bed room, — composed the rest of the structure. As Martin entered, he was greeted by a grinning negro, who was bending over the kitchen stove preparing the evening meal. “Sam, I’m so hungry I could eat nails and like it, 11 exclaimed Martin cheerfully. “Yas’m, Mr. Martin, I’ll have your supper in no time.” Over the supper table that evening Martin checked with Sam the list of supplies he had brought from town and then retired to the library to smoke his evening pipe before the fire. The library was an interesting room. The dark oak paneling of the walls gave the room an air of dignity, and solitude added to the general quietude of the room. Book cases of a deep mahogany stain lined the room on all sides, and by the mellow light of a beautiful glass chandelier, one could see in the distant corner of the room on a small trophy table several silver cups, trophies of art contests. Above the f ireplace gazing complacently down at Martin, hung a life-sized painting of “Boy Blue.” The fire burnt low, and at length Martin retired to his room. To the enquiries of Sam he replied, “Wake me at dawn,” and piled into bed. Light was just beginning to appear above the eastern horizon when Sam shook his master by the shoulder. In an instant Martin was on his feet. Pulling on his robe he entered the library, and approaching the bay window, he drew aside the heavy curtain. The sun, chasing the lingering shadows before it, was rising slowdy above the wooded hills. “Wings,” the artist mused, “Wings of the morning,” and he set his easel by his side. Rapidly and delicately he worked, his brushes transplanting onto canvas, flaming, brilliant colors blending into soft, delicate tinges of lavender and cool shadows. Beautiful wings of color flowed from the end of his brush, and nature was captured at the moment, at dawn, when everything seems the most inspiring. “Breakfast am ready, boss,” Sam called as he heard his master leaving the library. “A masterpiece, Sam,” Martin cried as he seated himself at the table. “I certainly is glad, suh; perhaps we leave this no account place now.” “Perhaps, Sam,” and Martin continued his breakfast. That summer art critics, as well as the countless number of people that gazed at “Wings of the Morning” in the great art gallery of New York, were astounded and hailed it as a masterpiece. Then came the year 1917 and the World War, and Martin left for France with over two million doughboys. Bloodshed, screaming shells, reeking corpses, his dying companions, and the countless horrors that war carries with it, terrified Martin and months 14 later he lay, a raving maniac, in a little Red Cross hospital in France. November, 1918. Martin, a shell-shocked victim, returned home — home to the big, white, lonely house and Sam, in the suburbs of New York. The noise of the city confused and excited him, his mouth twitched, his eyes opened and shut rapidly, and his whole body trembled at the slightest sound. One night Dr. King frowned sternly as he questioned Martin. “Get away from the city, 11 he advised at length. “Go anywhere, but get away from this confusion.” “Yes, Doctor,” Martin spoke slowly, “I have decided to go back to my old camp — back to the ' Wings of the Morning. 1 11 He laughed shrilly, and looked down at his long, white hands, the only part of his body he seemed able to control. Twisting his slender fingers, he stared into the night. At the door the doctor met Sam and drew him aside. ' Sam,” he said gravely, “keep an eye on your master; take care of him. It will be some time before he will be his old self again.” “Yas suh, deed I will, suh,” assured Sam trying vainly to check the tears that rolled down his dusky face. June found Martin once more at the old cabin surrounded by the green- ness of the valley. Slowly he was gaining possession of his faculties, but still there was something lacking, something lost perhaps in France. Now and then he would dabble in his paints, while Sam made the monthly trips to the town of Kentsville for supplies. It was becoming a familiar sight to see the faith- ful negro slouching along the trail, the mules before him. Dusk was falling when Sam drove the mules into the corral after one of these trips. Overhead dark storm clouds were forming. The wind whistled mournfully among the tall pines. Sam entered the cabin as thunder heralded the approaching storm. Lightning flashed and tore ragged streaks across the storm-swept sky. A giant pine toppled and crashed to earth. Thunder rumbled in the distant hills. Sam found his master in the library sitting near the bay window. The curtain was drawn back; his easel and brushes were by his side. “Sam,” he spoke hoarsely- “Yas suh.” “It — it’s France.” “No suh, no suh,” Sam spoke cheerfully, “just an old discountless storm, and its gonna rain soon,” and he left the cabin to prepare the evening meal Martin stared long down the slopes of the valley, and who can tell what he pictured there, as he sat scarcely hearing the wind tearing ferociously at the eaves of the cabin. Suddenly he seized his brushes, set his easel before him, and began to paint not only the storm -swept scene before him, but more. His face was drawn and haggard. The brush darted over the canvas, — he was living and fighting the battle over again, but with brushes. Then came the rain, and black fingers groped through the room, filling it with night’s dark shadows. The painting was complete, but the artist was not in raptures. He was pale, and his ghastly features seemed to have caught wrinkles in the last few hours that had not been there before. The battle field lay before him. Night was fast approaching. The dead and wounded covered the slope of No Man’s Land. Lightning rent the sky, giant trees toppled, machine guns spit green 15 lire, and star shells burnt paths of red scorching fire across the blackened sky. The negro stood at his master ' s side, gazing in awe at the painting before him. Slowly Martin dipped his brush and wrote, “Wings of the Night. —Robert Laite, ’35. Storm Dreams W HITE fingers of fine snow flash ghost-like across the blackness of the road. Cars like burned-out comets, with long white tails, fly noise- lessly by. Inside my car there is comparative comfort — of the chilly sort. The satisfied and satisfying hum of the motor lulls me into semi-consciousness. The white dust grows deeper — the warm eyes of houses look like square patches of yellow on the snow. How good is a fire and friends, and warmth of body and soul within four well-beloved walls! Thank God every wanderer finds a home sometime — somewhere. As the dream grows, the hands guide the wheel instinctively. Mechan- ically the foot seeks the brake and the vision, like a vivacious spirit, goes leaping and bounding from past to future, ignoring the present. Old loves are remembered. Old snatches of old songs that once had poignant meanings come welling up from the heart and are sometimes actually expressed and sometimes lost in the throb and purr of the motor. Even sadness when it is passed is sweet. Beautiful day dreams! Thank God we do not truly expect you to be realized as we conceive you. The joy of fullfillment would be too great for us to bear. And so I dream as the snow sifts in through unseen and unsuspected crevices, and the foot grows numb upon the accelerator, and the car sweeps on, leaving eddies of white mist upon the black of the road and my dreams awaiting realization. — Gertrude Berry, ' 32. 16 Song of the Stream I know a deep and cooling spring That trickles away, such a little thing, Rippling and dancing o’er the stones With a hundred melodious soothing tones; Stopping a moment, but ne’er to abide; ’Neath the out ' flung roots of some giant tree, Cooled in some shadowy deeps may be, Warmed by a dance o’er a sunny rock ’Till it murmurs in fairy or elfin talk; Leaping from rock to rock below, Seeking a level where it may flow, Leisurely twisting and winding along, Hearing and answering the thrush’s song, Languidly breathing the flowered air, Whispering low in the rushes there, Broadened and deepened all along By numberless brooklets that join the throng, Each seeking each in close embrace; At length from the distance a murmur grows, Stilling the murmuring stream that flows, To silence as it nears the sea, And loses itself in eternity. — Robert Clogston, ’33. Of Dearest Worth ' J ' HESE are the things I hold of dearest worth : Light of the western sky With long white clouds floating by. The white ' winged bird in its flight, And the peace and solitude of night. The mysterious quiet of the hills, And the passing murmur of little rills. The catching sound of drops of rain Beating upon the window pane. The white ' Capped waves upon the sea, And the tall splendor of the tree, The twilight and the darkening blue, And the wonder that such things are true. — Gertrude Berry, ’32. 17 My Kind of Art I love the sea — the dark and bitter sea, And the surf along the shore; I love the tides that come and go, And the storms that come before. I love the twilight and the grey dawn, The rocks and the trees in the lane; I love the splendor of a high hill, And the laughter of the rain. I love to sketch a clouded sky, And a beauty that wells in my heart Of people, and life, and all these things That belong to my kind of Art. — Gertrude Berry, ’32. I Don’t Know Why I don’t know why I want to stay Out in the woods at the dawn of day, Or walk ’neath the moon over fragrant hills, And listen for notes from the whip-poor-wills. I don’t know why the sky seems bluer, Or the clouds that float through it seem fresher and newer. Or why the scent of the new turned sod Makes me realize the power of omnipotent God. I don’t know why the pines rejoice With an audible, happy, crooning voice. I don’t know why my heart should sing, Unless it’s the call of awakening Spring. — Robert Clogston, ’33. 18 Graduation Essays America’s Foreign Policy By Henry Prisby V THEN the United States gained its independence from England through VV the Revolutionary War, she adopted what was called an isolation policy which meant that she considered it unwise to interfere with European affairs. The policy was proposed by Washington when he issued his famous Proclamation of Neutrality and was later strengthened by the Monroe Doctrine. And so it was that the United States avoided foreign relations and kept out of foreign affairs as much as possible. It was not until after the United States emerged from the World War, a creditor nation, with Europe looking towards her for support that she changed her ideas toward entangling herself with foreign nations. This was so perhaps because of the fact that the United States, because of the capital involved, felt that she was obliged to do so. For a period after the war international trade increased tremendously. At the same time Germany asserted that she could not build herself up economically if she were forced to pay her war debts. An international corm mittee investigated and reported that Germany could bear a reparation debt burden of $625,000,000 a year. That was the Dawes Plan, and upon undertaking to put the plan into effect, the German Government borrowed $200,000,000 in gold from Great Britain, France, and the United States, to begin a policy of fulfillment. The Dawes Plan, however, did not state how many years this burden should be carried. It had not fixed the total amount of reparations to be paid, and for this reason a second body of experts tried to decide on a new plan. This committee made an analysis of Germany’s resources and declared that she could afford to pay only $400,000,000 a year. That was the Young Plan, and upon undertaking to make this plan work, the German Govern ' ment borrowed $300,000,000 from Great Britain, France, and the United States to launch itself upon a second policy of fulfillment. Thus we see that measures were taken to aid Germany. Even then she claimed that she was unable to build herself up. Accordingly, German bonds were floated in the United States, paying high rates of interest and on which Germany borrowed millions of dollars. Then last summer in her political and economic crisis, she stated that she could not pay her reparations unless she could borrow more money for a period of six months. President Hoover, thinking to relieve the situation, declared a moratorium of one year on war debts. Other European countries enter into this question of war debts also. France, Great Britain, Belgium, and others had been collecting as reparations from Germany somewhat more than $400,000,000 a year and had been pay- ing on account of their war debts to the American treasury less than $50,000y 000 a year. Thus a general international war debt holiday to save Germany would cost them the difference or more than $150,000,000. Great Britain had been collecting from her war debtors only $50,000,000 more than she 19 had been paying to the United States on account of her own American war debt and was therefore willing. But France had been collecting from Germany $100,000,000 more than she had been paying out on account of her war debt and she was unwilling. France is trying to make us believe that what we did for her during the war was to be expected as a duty to an ally, and for this reason she is witholding her payments. Thus the problem is no nearer settlement than before. After the war a League of Nations was proposed by Woodrow Wilson, vetoed by the American people but accepted by the European Nations. This league was formed and most of the nations of the world are now represented. Although America proposed the League, she is one nation which is not a member. There are many good reasons for and against the United States’ joining the League and whether or not we shall join remains to be seen. Since we are not members of the League of Nations, it is impossible for us to be represented in the World Court. During the past five months, trouble arose between China and Japan, and in the midst of it, the United States sent battleships into Pacific waters to protect her rights It was feared that the United States would be involved in the affair, but we have succeeded thus far in keeping out of trouble. This controversy between China and Japan created the most serious problem the League of Nations has had to solve and although the United States is not a member, the member nations listened intently to all advice offered by the United States’ delegates sent to “listen in” at the conferences. Disarmament is another topic of interest which arose after the war, as it was felt by many that such a step would tend to lessen the possibilities of war. A naval conference aiming at disarmament was held at Geneva but was a failure because the great naval powers could not come to terms. Many other conferences were held but nothing definite could be agreed upon by the nations. Apparently they want the United States to be the first nation to disarm. Thus we come to the present day. We see that in the earlier part of the twentieth century America clung to her isolation policy, keeping out of foreign affairs as much as possible. Having established herself as a nation, with Europe looking towards her for support, she changed her original policy and adopted the policy, “I am my brother’s keeper,” but in doing so was forced into foreign affairs. Had she remembered the full import of the doctrine, she might have gone far in advancing the cause of world brother- hood, but in consideration of the ease with which vast sums of money could be made at the expense of others, the capitalistic interests seem to have pre- vailed and the world as a whole is faced with the problem of how to restore the confidence of the people. The United States is faced with tremendous responsibilities and is receiving the censure of Europe because of present economic conditions. What will come of all these problems? Will the United States be further involved in foreign affairs and their resulting problems? Whatever the foreign events in which we may find ourselves implicated in the future, we must lend our influence to a policy which will secure for the world universal prosperity and international peace and good-will. 20 Sires of the Big Bridge By Richard Mansfield X N THE passing of the years during the history of the United States many geniuses in their various environments have been passed by unmerited. For many months people in New York have gased at electric signs flashing “Roebling’s Cables” on the top of two massive towers. Those two words meant nothing to millions but unveiled to a few the history of the modern suspension bridge. John Roebling came to America over one hundred years ago at the age of twenty-five. He had a fine education and was possessor of numerous talents. On his arr ival to pioneering America he decided to be a farmer. Knowing nothing whatsoever of farming, he managed to earn a meagre living from the soil he worked in Saxonburg, Pennsylvania. Failing at farming, he turned to breeding canary birds. However, most of his birds turned out to be the unmusical females. To patch out his income he obtained employment as assistant engineer in making surveys and constructing waterways. In a short time he was devoting all his energy to that field and left his farm to be run by others. On the New York canals cumbrous ropes of Kentucky hemp were used to drag the canal boats over the mountains. These ropes always broke at the most inconvenient times, and serious accidents resulted. Roebling was present one day when an accident occurred. He started thinking of the possibility of a wire rope, flexible enough to be wound on a windlass and which would also be smaller, stronger, and more lasting than a hempen cable. He built a rope walk on his farm and instructed his friends and neighbors in the art of rope twisting. They succeeded in making a wire rope far exceeding anything he had expected. Soon after, his wire cables began replacing the hempen ropes on the canals. Roebling submitted figures to engineers for building an aqueduct over the Allegheny River at Pittsburg. There was considerable risk to the project, for no one before had attempted to suspend an aqueduct across a river by cables. He insisted that his figures were correct and was awarded the task. He set to work, knowing the result would be success or complete ruin for his future. The undertaking was, however, a definite success and he established a reputation. Roebling built three aqueducts while developing his ideas of suspending bridges by wire cables. His works are still in use today, unim- paired and still good for many years’ service. As his farm now was not extensive enough for his workshops and wire mills, he moved to Trenton, New Jersey. He invented and designed practically every piece of machinery that went into his workshops. Roebling wasn’t the first man to build a suspension bridge. One was built across the Merrimac River at Newburyport, Massachusetts, in 1810, and sixteen years later one across the Menai Straits, in Wales. Both were very small and supported by chains. Roebling, however, was the first man to use wire cables on a bridge. 21 How and where Roebling found time to do all that he did was a fact to be marvelled at. With no modern conveniences he managed to be a specialist in a half dozen fields. He attended scientific conventions and wrote voluminously for scientific journals. He invented tools and machinery and made his own drawings for the patent office. He designed bridges, canals, and portage railroads and superintended their construction. He was also an earnest student of metaphysics. When he died, he left an incomplete manu ' script of over two thousand pages dealing with his conception of the universe. Yet each night before retiring he recorded carefully the day’s happenings. The contract to design and build the Brooklyn Bridge was awarded to Roebling after much discussion. It was predicted, however, that the wire cables would never be able to support a structure of such weight. He set to work on his designs and plans, but while making a preliminary survey, his foot was crushed on a ferry boat, and he died two weeks later of tetanus. His death, however, did not interrupt work on what was to be his posthumous masterpiece. His son Washington A. Roebling was also a talented engineer. He was thoroughly familiar with the plans for the new bridge and had long enjoyed intimate, professional association with the greatest bridge builder of his day, his own father. With great fervor the son gave himself to the task of completing the project. When the foundation caissons were sunk under the East River, he often went below and worked with the “sand hogs,” eager to see the work at first hand and to be sure that every minute detail was correctly performed. Roebling one day had to be taken out of a caisson, paralysed by the “bends,” the affliction most dreaded by those who work in an atmosphere of conv pressed air. He remained partially paralysed, lost the use of his voice, and constantly suffered great physical pain. From a window in a house in Brooklyn Heights he watched the workers on the bridge with the aid of a telescope. Unable to talk, he wrote his instructions to the builders — page after page of de- tailed notes. Eleven years after the accident, from the same window he watched the President of the United States open the bridge to traffic. He died in 1926 at the age of eighty Tour, leaving a great fortune, a flourishing business, an example of rare courage, and the Brooklyn Bridge. When Washington Roebling resigned as president of the company at Trenton in order to devote all his time to the Brooklyn Bridge, his two brothers, Ferdinand and Charles, took charge of the cable plant. Both died shortly after America’s entrance into the World War, for which the RoeU lings supplied considerably important material, and Ferdinand’s son Karl took charge. Karl literally worked himself to death furnishing the government with war supplies, and when he died in 1921, his brother, the grandson of John Roebling, ascended to the presidency of the company and occupies that post today. The third generation of the Roeblings spun the cables for the Washing ' ton Bridge opened last October twentyTourth. The two towers supporting the cables are 635 feet high. The strand consists of 434 original wires, and 61 strands are compressed into a cable thirty six inches in diameter. The cables consist altogether of 57,000,000 pounds of steel and are strong enough 22 to carry four times as much traffic as the bridge can hold when loaded to capacity. The span across the river is twice the length of the largest span previously in existence or 3,500 feet long. The weight of the bridge hanging from the cables is 90,000 tons. The anchorage for the cables on the New Jersey side is the hard rock of the Palisades, hollowed out 250 feet deep. On the New York side a solid piece of masonry, 290 feet by 200 feet and ten stories high, is used. The bridge cost $60,000,000. The cable in the George Washington Bridge has a strength of 70,000 pounds per square inch more than the cables in the Brooklyn Bridge, showing the advancement in their research laboratories. Some thirty or more devices were invented and patented by the Roeblings, which made possible the construction of the largest suspension bridge in three years and one month. These facts are important and interesting, but no more so than the single thin wire rope which John Roebling fabricated a century ago, and which made them all possible. What, therefore, could have been more appropriate than naming the new bridge for John Roebling? No one can object to naming the new bridge after George Washington, for he can not be honored too much by his countrymen, but on the other hand there are many men who may not be honored enough. America As Viewed by the World By Ida Wells D URING this time of financial and political distress all over the world, it would be a good time perhaps to see what kind of impression we have created upon our foreign neighbors during the last three hundred years. Ever since the world has been civilized “they say,” meaning the people in general, has often been the best means of spreading and enlarging on the gossip which the feminine part of the world can spread so easily. Sometimes, however, it may be beneficial to learn what others think of us. The first country whose opinion we may consider is that of England. Because of her blood relationship to us her views should be particularly inter ' esting. England’s most noticeable reaction toward us is a profound contempt for the way in which the citizens of the United States disregard law and order. The Congress of the United States makes many laws which are broken by many an unscrupulous person who would be speedily brought to justice and promptly punished by Scotland Yard, according to his crime. Here, however, the English say that the wrongdoer is given a light sentence or none at all, and many of the so-called self-respecting and law abiding persons not only do not object but even allow this wholesale breaking of the law with hardly a cry of protest. As far as finances are concerned, England, although she may think a lot, says very little. To a certain extent she respects the financial standing which the United States has acquired and of course is pleased because the Americans 23 are so willing to share their money with other countries and to help them out; However, England rather objects because the United States is inclined to dictate how England spends this borrowed money and yet allows other coum tries to spend the money borrowed from us in any way they see fit. Of course the English people as a whole are rather slow and easy going, and they are therefore somewhat surprised and annoyed by the way in which the Americans are always in such a mad rush and are tearing to get some ' where. Then after we have arrived at our destination, we are not satisfied and rush madly off somewhere else, never definitely reaching our goal. Now let us consider the opinions of Germany with whom we have had more contact within these past few years. Germany has produced some of the finest musicians and scientists that the world has ever known; therefore she naturally feels greatly superior to the United States in regard to the fine arts. She feels that the United States takes the more serious and finer things in life too lightly. The Germans are thoroughly convinced that the Americans very seldom go below the surface in order to appreciate art, literature, and science. They regard the superficial appreciation of the fine arts as another problem which the American should solve. In close connection with this contemptuous attitude, she also deplores our materialism which may or may not account for our lack of appreciation of true art. At the same time because of a fear that the United States may refuse to lend Germany any more money, for which she has great need, a certain respect that might otherwise be lack ' ing has sprung up. The next country whose opinion of us it will be interesting to learn is that of France. The French people are probably the most patriotic race of the world. Therefore the Frenchman often comments on the peculiarity of the patriotism of the people of the United States. The pride which many an American has in his heart for the United States is born of the consciousness of the practical advantages which he enjoys by being an American citizen and does not rise from the finer side of his nature. Perhaps this idea which S France has is unjust, but she explains it by the fact that so much of the popu ' lation of the United States is composed of naturalised citizens . To France the United States seems very young and we hardly realise the amusement France obtains by watching our antics. We, as a nation, are like a child who has grown too fast and has had to assume responsibility which causes it to grow old too quickly, and therefore in times of forgetfulness reverts awkwardly to the pleasures of youth. France, as well as Germany and England, points out the materialism of the United States.. The constant thought which occupies the mind of an American is how to make money and become a rich man. France believes that money is our watchword and that we have little thought of anything else. Having discussed the opinions of three of the older countries of Europe, let us glance over those of a more recent government, Soviet Russia. There is no doubt that Soviet Russia greatly mistrusts the United States. She fears that the financial and industrial magnates of this country want a war in the Far East with Soviet Russia. She also mistrusts our military equipment although she hopes in the near future to equal it. In many ways Soviet Russia hopes to be like us, and in her opinion our commercialism is the best 24 point in our favor. Russia needs us to provide her with machines and other products so that she may develop her vast resources along the lines we have followed. Thus her attitude is a curious combination of respect and mistrust and yet a great need for us. Belgium will always be grateful to the United States even if the other nations feel only jealous of us and are suspicious of our wealth. Other coum tries grumble because they have a feeling that the United States has a desire to run things and be mistress over all. Now in consideration of these various opinions, how may we determine what we are really like and get a true conception of our country? We must remember that many of the European countries are so well versed in diplo macy that their opinions are very skilfully given and conceal to some extent many of our glaring faults. If we analyze many of these faults, we shall recognize at the same time that although our country is still young, it has attained a high place in the world. Perhaps as time passes we shall have learned that money and power are not so important in the advancement of a country as the United States seems to believe. Let us hope that the nation with its vast possibilities for leadership may profit by its mistakes and that it may be a power for truth and righteousness in the world. Education In Ipswich By Evelyn Dodge I PSWICH was among the first towns of our country to set up a school Since the establishment of the first school, education in Ipswich has been at various heights, and through all it has maintained a place comparable to that of other towns. Although today it may not be so outstanding as formerly, it is because now there are many other cities much greater in wealth, popu lation, and capability of supporting educational institutions, while in the early days Ipswich was a leading town of New England and of much more import ance than it is today. Even now we may glory in our past history and still consider our schools successful, for pupils of our schools are still going out of Ipswich and proving themselves of worth to our country. Although the first school in Ipswich, established in 1636, was not success ful, the townspeople did not allow themselves to be daunted by failure in their attempt to gain education for their youth. Seven years after the first attempt, a lasting school was set up with Lionel Chute as schoolmaster. The people of Ipswich took great pride in their Grammar School and manifested this pride in many ways. That they wanted only the best for their sons was shown in 1650 by the calling of Ezekiel Cheever to the position of school master. Ezekiel Cheever was one of the most illustrious teachers of the time and second to no other in New England. The calling of Mr. Cheever aroused interest in the welfare of the school, for in the following year Robert Paine erected a school building the use of which, together with that of a master’s 25 house, he gave to the Grammar School. Under the able guidance of the new teacher the Ipswich Grammar School prospered and became famous. Pupils from outside came to Ipswich to receive their college preparation which con ' sisted almost entirely of a thorough knowledge of Latin and Greek. We may be sure that this school was successful from the success of its pupils. Many of them were among the first graduates of Harvard College. John Rogers, one of the first graduates of the Ipswich Grammar School, was appointed the third presi ' dent of Harvard College and was the first to be chosen for this honor from among its graduates. Other Ipswich graduates became ministers, doctors, and teachers, all helping in laying the foundations of our country. Much later after a long line of illustrious teachers, none of which, however, were as great as Ezekiel Cheever, the Ipswich Grammar School, which had in the meantime been moved from the Robert Paine school to the lower story of the Town House and then back near its original location to the building which is today used by the Lathrop Brothers as a barn, fell into a decadent condition. We see that the townspeople were dissatisfied with their school and no longer took pride in it from the fact that they sent the most brilliant and most promising of their sons out of town to be educated in preparation for college. Meanwhile those children of the town who were younger than the grammar school pupils and who were not preparing to go to college began to seek a way in which they might gain general knowledge and simple in ' struction in the three “r” s. As a result of this new demand for education, a system of district schools sprang up. These schools were established and maintained by the various districts of the town. It is interesting for us to note the difficulties with which our people once had to contend while in pursuit of education for their youth and the courageous manner in which they strove to surmount them. The attendance was irregular, and at times the school would be so crowded that there was hardly standing room for all present. At such times it was with great difficulty that the teacher maintained order, to say nothing of teaching lessons. Then it was sometimes impossible to secure efficient teachers. The teachers of the winter term were usually young men, recently graduated from college, who many times were younger than some of their pupils, and who never stayed for any great length of time at one school. These teachers had much trouble with discipline. The first day of the winter term, a very trying ordeal, decided whether the teacher would rule the school or whether the pupils would put him out. The summer term was taught by girls of the neighborhood, who were glad to earn their “pin” money. In spite of all disadvantages these schools played an important part in the education and culture of the common people of the time. With the exception of the Linebrook School these schools, which laid the foundation for our grammar schools of today, have been discontinued in favor of more modern schools in the center of the town. At the same time as the district schools there were “dame schools,” which were probably somewhat comparable to the private kindergarten of today. To these schools went the children who were too young to attend the district schools. The only one of these schools of which there is much record is the one kept by Dame Jewett, an energetic and ambitious woman, who 26 received the tuition for her pupils sometimes in the form of a day’s labor and sometimes as a certain amount of butter and cheese. The greatest educational institution that our town has ever had is the Ipswich Female Seminary. When the Grammar School began to decline, the people, who always desired their youth to have the best advantages possible, felt the need of something to take its place. At first the Ipswich Academy, opened to both young men and young women, was established, but it soon gave way to the Female Seminary in 1828. During its first period of greatness the seminary was guided by Miss Zilpah Grant and Miss Mary Lyon, who later founded Mount Holyoke Seminary in South Hadley. Under their leadership the seminary became famous and attracted many pupils from out ' side. Later after the retirement of both these leaders, the school fell into a period of decline from which it was retrieved by the admirable skill of Rev. John Cowles and Mrs. Cowles. Together these two worked not so much to instruct their girls in their studies as to instill into their hearts the principles of truth and right. After this second era of greatness a second and final decline became evident. The growth of other seminaries and the establishment of the high school made the closing of the seminary inevitable. Although the school was forced to discontinue its sessions, it had not failed. Instead it had been highly successful in putting forth so many competent women, many of whom later became noted. Shortly after the fou nding of the Ipswich Female Seminary, the seeking for instruction in English and other everyday subjects, as well as the classical languages taught by the Grammar School, resulted in the establishment of what is now called the “high school. ” Through the generosity of Mr. Thomas Manning, who left money for the building of a new high school, it was possible for the youth of the town of both sexes to enjoy the benefits of a free high school education. This Manning High School, established in 1874, has played and is still playing a valuable part in the education of the youth of Ipswich. Insomuch as our past has been notable and successful, let us hope that likewise our future in education will be as successful and that Ipswich pupils, following the example of their forebears, will always be a credit to their town. CLASS DAY PARTS Class History By Parker Hall I n the fall of 1928, one of the largest and most illustrious classes ever to graduate from the Junior High School entered Manning High. We were a little timid at first, but soon got over our timidity as the faculty will testify. We went through the usual process of getting acclimated, adjusting and readjusting our programs, and being “initiated.” In the latter ceremony, one of our smaller members, Clinton Spencer, had to be carried down the stairs as he was too light to be pushed. 27 After some instruction on the part of our new principal and teachers, we held our first class meeting. We chose as our class officers to lead us during our first year John Burke, President; Grover Bailey, Vice President; Gardiner Bolles, Secretary; John Carey, Treasurer. The one event we en- joyed during that year was a social at which we became better acquainted with our new friends, and the games seemed new and interesting — yes, even seven-in and seven-out. We returned in September and began the year’s activities with a class meeting. We elected Mildred Hardy, President; Grover Bailey, Vice Presi- dent: Marion McGlew, Secretary; and Richard Mansfield, Treasurer. Mildred has a temper which we had the pleasure of witnessing at some of the class meetings, but in spite of it she made a good leader for our sophomore year. In October the band instruments were given out. “Buddy” Brennan received a trombone. All could hear his music, but no one could see “Buddy,” he being completely eclipsed by his instrument. On the contrary Norman Ewing, who was given a bass horn, could be both seen and heard without difficulty. After the summer vacation we returned as upper classmen. We soon elected our class officers. Apparently we had had enough of petticoat govern- ment, for we elected only boys to represent us during our junior and senior years. For our junior year our officers were Richard Mansfield, President; George Greene, Vice President; Douglas Wood, Secretary; Ashley Jewett, Treasurer. These class meetings were much enlivened by debates between John Burke and Richard Pickard, and “Doug” Wood, our class secretary, seemed to have a good time “kidding” them about their differences. Our first appearance was in a class assembly called “The Birds’ Christ- mas Carol.” “Buddy” Brennan was the baby and Eleanor King was the distracted mother of a large family. Aside from a few minor accidents such as the screen’s almost falling over when they were giving the baby a bath, and “Al” Hodgkins’s falling off the stage, the play was a success. Our next appearance before the school was at an A. A. stunt night. Jewett, the “coachie dear,” in dress suit and tall silk hat was the outstanding attraction. His actions were supplemented by the sissified imitation of a football team, which consisted of the most talented of “32.” The entertainment was a success and netted us the Grand Prize of two empty vanilla bottles, donated by the Varsity Club. The big event of the year, however, was of course the Junior Prom. The decorating committee worked hard under the supervision of Miss Blodgett and made the town hall resplendent in green and white, our class colors. The Prom, was engineered successfully and enjoyed by all. The next event was the Junior-Senior Day. This was held in May. Contests of various kinds were held between the two classes, but the seniors, the Class of 1931, being a year older and wiser than we, received the most points and won the honors of the day. In fact, in view of the rough handling we received, we considered our selves lucky to get away with our lives. There were no hard feelings, however, and that evening we held a farewell social in their honor. Thus the years were passing quickly and we found out that we ourselves were to be seniors. 28 In September we entered the school as happy ' gO ' lucky seniors, not quite the dignified type as the teachers soon found out. We held our first class meeting and decided that we would elect another group of boys to be our final class offices. They were Richard Mansfield, President; George Greene, Vive President; Douglas Wood, Secretary; Donald Wood, Treasurer. They have made a creditable showing especially in leading devotional services in the home room, although a question always arose as to whose turn it was to officiate, especially when it was “Doug” Wood’s turn. Our first appearance before the school as seniors was in a Thanksgiving assembly called “Just Joy.” Appleton took the prophetic part of the father of a small family which was well portrayed, and Frances Ames, whose thank ' fulness put the other characters to shame, took the part of Just Joy and cultivated a good limp. Though Appleton’s attempts at groans brought forth real ones from the rest of the cast at rehearsals, he managed to get through them at the final production. The next play was a real one, the senior play, when “The Charm School” was presented by a large cast. Jewett’s almost professional ease upon the stage merited special commendation. Another interesting feature was the fact that Don and Doug Wood played the part of twins. They were a good pair even though they occasionally mixed up each other’s speeches at re ' hearsals. Parking space for the buggy used in the third act proved to be another problem as it could not well be paraded through the hall and hoisted over the footlights at the final performance. But in spite of all difficulties including late hours, wrecked nerves, and ruined dispositions, the play was a success. The next class activity was having our pictures taken. Everyone tried to pose as either John Barrymore or Greta Garbo, and Vantine did the shoot ' ing. We all thought we were handsomer than we were, but cameras don’t lie. The photographer tried to get our class president Mansfield to smile, but Mansfield maintained his stern icy look. Our last duty to old Manning High was to publish the senior year book. Some of us have worked long and hard, fast and furious in an effort to get T he Tiger to the printer on the appointed hour. Our last few weeks have been filled with feverish attempts to attain an average of 80 percent that would excuse us from final examinations and also with preparations for our graduatoin activities. But at last we are here. We have completed our task and will forever hold as cherished memories our days in Manning High. 29 Class Prophecy By Frances Ames and Ashley Jewett Time: 1952. Scene: Customs Office. Ashley. May I see your passport? Frances. Certainly, here it is. Ashley. I hope you don ' t think me too personal, but your picture and name seem familiar. Frances. You don’t say? That’s what the Frenchmen said, too. Are you through with it? Ashley. I beg your pardon. May I see your bags? Well, this looks familiar. Frances. It’s the composite picture of my class, — not that it’s any of your business. Ashley. Our class, you mean. Frances. Say, where do you get that community attitude? I don’t know you. Ashley. Well, take a good look at that bit of Vantine’s superhuman ability. See any resemblance? Frances. Why yes, I remember you now; you’re Ashley Jewett. Ashley. Not a soul else and you’re the same Frances Ames I knew at school. I recognized you the minute I saw your passport. But what are you doing here? Frances. I’m just returning from France where I have been doing some buying for Wood and Wood, Furriers of Boston. Ashley. This certainly is a pleasant surprise. Tell me more about our classmates. Frances. Many of them have left town but there are still some in Ipswich who are doing very well. Kenneth Poor, George Greene, and Gardiner Bolles were elected selectmen at the last town meeting and now the old town is booming again. Ashley. That’s good. Say, what was all the commotion outside before you came in? Frances. A man fell overboad. When they finally pulled him out, it was none other than Clinton Spencer. It seems that he has just adopted bbfocals recently and walked off the gang plank. His rescuer was identified as “Nummy” Ewing, captain of the boat we were on. How do you like being Customs Inspector? Ashley. It’s all right, but it has its faults. For instance I was responsible for one of my best friends’ being sent to jail. Upon inspecting his baggage I found a missing lot of jewels which had been stolen from Hall’s jewelry shop. Cook was the man’s name. Too bad, he was a fine fellow. Frances. Yes, he was. While I was in Paris, I was staying at a hotel and the first person I recognized was Harold Chambers, who was running the elevator. The biggest surprise, however, was a sign which I saw while out walking. The sign read “Miles. Arthur and Hardy — Maison de Beaute.” 30 I went in for a wave and was greeted by none other than Margaret and Mildred. They certainly do good work. Ashley. When I first came to this office, Joseph Kobos was the janitor but he bothered the rest of the help so that I had to fire him. The last I heard of him he had engaged passage on a tramp steamer. If he pesters them there, I guess hell have to be thrown overboard. Frances. I had a letter from Evelyn Dodge last week. She is a teacher of Latin in Ipswich. She says that at last they have succeeded in getting a new high school and that the architect was none other than Gertrude Berry. Eleanor King is on the same faculty teaching French. She drives back and forth from Manchester every day in her Ford. Ashley. I saw some more of our classmates the other day. I had occasion to go to Boston, and while I was there, the fire alarm rang. As I had plenty of time and the fire wasn’t far away I went to it. There, holding the hose was Frederick Mackinney. Arthur Brennan still holds his position as water boy. He was turning the water on. I was talking to them after the fire, and they said that John Burke was a mail pilot and had made quite a name for himself because of his “Hardy”uiess. Frances. Mother wrote me recently that Ileen Marcorelle, Gladys Cummings, and Gianefa Kubic had a kindergarten in Georgetown which is a suburb of Rowley. They were doing very well at last reports. Ashley. Of course you know that the Clifford Appleton who wrote the book entitled A Stage Groan is none other than the Clifford Appleton that we knew. Another member of our class who is famous is Kenneth Moron g who made quite a hit in the latest Broadway show. He doesn’t have to surround himself with pictures of chorus girls now that he has the real article. Frances. I read in the paper recently that Barbara Stone and Ida Wells have made a very important discovery in the field of animal research work. There was a picture of them in their laboratory. I believe that it said that the animal before them was a cat. As I remember it, Ida did like cats in chemistry class. Ashley. Charlotte Smith was in our chemistry class, too, remember? I guess she gave up the idea of being a chemist because I saw by the paper that she and Grover Bailey are getting married and that the Reverend Richard Mansfield is to officiate. Frances. Those inseparable Rowley girls Marion Grundstrom, Avis Heald, and Beatrice Jedrey are still together. They are headliners at a night club in Paris. Ashley. Henry Prisby has taken over the management of the Boston Evening Hews, while Arthur Nikas is a star reporter. They always worked together, you remember. Frances. Elizabeth Williams has a dentist’s office of her own in Boston. She has perfected a painless method of extracting teeth. Ashley. Marjorie Dolan is engaged in private tutoring, specializing in chemistry and Latin. Frances. Catherine Comeau is dietitian at the Newburyport Hospital. Ashley. Helen Alhowik and Alice Hamm are secretaries for the firm 31 of Barney and Hodgkins who run a large bus line all over the country. Frances. Elsie Lang has recently completed a course of lectures on “The Care of Children.” She ought to know something about the subject after her early years of training. Ashley. You’re right. I rather surmised she’d follow that line. By the way, have you heard Francis Mullen’s latest song hit, “Looking for a Sweetheart”? Frances. Yes, it’s very popular,- — so full of his personal appeal. George Galanis is writing songs, too. “The Banana Vendor” is his latest. Ashley. That’s killing two birds with one stone all right. What’s Paul Karchonas doing? Frances. Oh, he manages the Strand now. Speaking of the Strand reminds me that I must be getting along; I want to get home in time to see Earl Dodge of Hollywood fame. He’s appearing in person there all this week. He certainly made a quick flight to stardom. Ashley. Well, he comes from Rowley, you know. I’m sorry that you have to hurry. But I wouldn’t miss that show either if I could get off. It seems good to hear news about the old times, and I’m certainly glad to have seen you. Drop in again when you’re up this way. Frances. Yes, I will. Goodbye. Ashley. Goodbye, and give my regards to the gang. Gifts to Girls By Clifford Appleton O NE warm evening a few weeks ago, I decided to stay at home and mv prove my mind by reading a bit of Shakespeare. Selecting the well ' known Merchant of Venice from the bookshelf, I seated myself in a large arm chair and was soon deep in the adventures of Bassanio, Antonio, the fair Portia, and that old scoundrel Shylock. The time passed, and the clock on the mantel struck the hour of twelve. I closed the book and was about to put it on the table when I heard a soft rustling beside me. I looked up, and to my amazement there stood the fair Portia with her three caskets of gold, silver, and lead. The glittering radiance of the golden casket fairly dazzled me and inscribed on the lid were these words, “Who chooseth me shall be rid of present difficulties.” Realizing that my present difficulty was to select proper gifts for the senior girls, I, unlike the more cautious Bassanio, chose the golden casket at once and Portia nodded with a smile of satisfaction and faded away. Nervously I opened the casket but to my great relief I found it filled to overflowing with many gifts waiting to be presented to their feminine owners. Now to Helen Alhowik, who will have a remarkable career as a secre ' tary, this pencil. To Frances Ames, this strand of Rope ' er — we will let her tie the knot. To Margaret Arthur, our class blusher, this can of red paint to render her blushes less noticeable. 32 To Gertrude Berry, who has so worthily upheld her position as class artist, this whitewash br ush. To Catherine Comeau and Gianefa Kubic, who wish to become nurses, these thermometers. To Gladys Cummings, who is going to be a teacher, this valuable foun tain pen. To Evelyn Dodge, who has a strong passion for camping at the beach, this sand pail. To Marjorie Dolan, this little dog who will always follow her around and answers to the name of “Buddy.” To Marion Grunastrom, who frequently walks the long and dusty roads between Rowley and Georgetown, this car. To Alice Hamm, who loves sweet things, this (L) eclair. To Mildred Hardy, this little gun, to be aimed at the male element when they annoy her. To Avis Heald, this cushion, to make her riding on the grain truck more comfortable. To Beatrice Jedrey, this bottle of glue, so that she and Jerry may always stick together. To Eleanor King, this new Ford, to replace the old broken-down one. To Elsie Lang, who frequently visits the city of Peabody, this aeroplane which will take her there in short order. To Ileen Marcorelle, our class saint, this long white robe and pair of wings. To Charlotte Smith, this bucket. When she goes on boat rides, she can start Bailey-ing. To Ida Wells this megaphone, in remembrance of the good old days when she was Manning’s cheer leader. To Barbara Stone, this fly swatter, in remembrance of her efforts in keeping off a certain pest in chemistry class. To Elizabeth Williams, who is interested in dentistry, these false teeth which she may study closely. The golden casket was empty and I was silently admiring the beautiful carvings and estimating its worth when Portia again appeared, snatched the casket away from me, and was gone. She would probably sell it to Shylock anyway. Gifts to Boys By Charlotte Smith T HE gifts for boys in former years Have come from foreign lands, Or from imaginary crystal gazers With their long and mystic hands. But this year depression overruled And caught me in his den; So the gifts I have for you boys today Came from Woolworth’s “Five and Ten.” I have for Buddy Brennan, The youngest of us all, A pair of baby bootees To fit his feet so small. For Jackie Burke, our future Rudy, Who loves to croon and sing, I give this little pitch pipe, A musical little thing. For George Greene, a can of “Flit” To keep away a fair one, But just in case this doesn’t work, I’d recommend a shot-gun. For Ellis Hodgkins, a sewing kit In which to keep his “Patch” Until the day when he decides She’ll make a perfect match. And now for Grover Bailey In case his friends increase I give a new style telephone, May “Central” rest in peace! Here’s to Earl Dodge, our handsomest boy; Of his beauty he must take care, This handy cake of Fairy soap Will preserve his skin so fair. For Fred Mackinney, this little rabbit, But one you cannot kill, It may perhaps save you many a trip You are now making to Town Hill. And here’s something for Cliffie Appleton And lo and behold, it’s a wig! Even though it’s a reminder of the senior play, You may need it when you get big. For Gardiner Bolles, a tool chest, To repair a broken down Ford, If by chance this is your pastime, Of course you won’t be bored. 34 An alarm clock for Arthur Nikas Although it’s the end of the term. Be sure and set it before sunrise. For “the early bird catches the worm.” For Parker Hall, some nursery songs. It may make your heart feel gladder To know that all beginners Start at the bottom of the ladder. For Kenneth Poor, a box of balloons, To hold your surplus air; We know you always talked a lot And yet didn’t seem to care. For Henry Prisby, a return ball, In ball games you excel; We’ve watched you play through many a game And know you play them well. For Joseph Kobos, a mousetrap Filled with a snappy bait In hopes to catch the Class Pest Before it is too late. For Clinton Spencer, some chicken feed When he runs his chicken farm, And so long as he sticks to the right kind of chicks, He’ll never come to harm. Here’s to Ashley Jewett, The wonder of the age. By this bouquet we tribute pay To his skill upon the stage. For Harold Chambers, our woman hater, I have this little thing, (wedding ring) For some day in the future Those wedding bells will ring. For Kennie Morong, a nut cracker Made from the best of lead; Remember it’s to crack your jokes with And not to crack your head. Though Paul Karchonas is quiet, He yet may rise to fame. We give him a box of “cocoa,” In honor of his name. 35 “Tumpy” Cook, a childish lad, Who likes to fool, unseen, Will find this very useful, A handy good ' sized screen. For Nummy Ewing, a bottle of liniment, The grand dad of ’32; It rubs away the aches and pains That old age may inflict on you. For Dickie Mansfield, a ping pong set To add to his present fame, And we’re hoping in the future He ' ll be champion of this game. For Joseph Barney, an auto horn That in merriment he may share, He often sits within our midst, And we never know he’s there. For George Galanis, a newspaper boy Who travels far from home, I have this little compass To return him safely home. To Moon Mullens whose gift for music is varied A comb to complete your collection. When you serenade your blonde neighbor May she regard you with affection. For Donald Wood, a curling iron To make a permanent wave; Now just see in the coming years All the money you can save. And finally for Dougie Wood The “Playboy of Manning High,” This artistic little derby To replace the one gone by. The boys in our class are priceless gems, But I’m glad there are no more, For I’ve cleaned out every counter In the Five and Ten cent store. 36 Class Will By Kenneth Poor B E IT remembered that We, the class of 1932 of Ipswich in the Common- wealth of Massachusetts, being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the uncertainty of this life do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all former wills by us at any time heretofore made.

She and Alice Hamm are pals. Together they have spent many hours getting “The Cub 11 ready for publi- cation. Senior Play; Girls’ Basket- ball; French Club; Glee Club; A. A.; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs. FRANCES AMES “Taffy” is one of our prettiest girls. She is always laughing and full of fun, but has proved she can be serious and dignified by the manner in which she played her part in the senior play. In spite of her attrac- tions outside of school, she adds “pep” to any school gathering. Senior Play; Operetta; Girls’ Basketball; Glee Club; French Club: Class Prophecy; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs: Latin Club. 43 CLIFFORD APPLETON The part of old man is always given to “Cliffie,” and he has carried this part out very well in his successful stage career in high school. Senior Play; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; French Club; Class Gifts to Girls; Class Author; A. A. MARGARET ARTHUR Margaret was elected class blusher, although she doesn’t like to be re minded of it. Although Margaret lives away from town, she is always around when there is anything doing. She is a good sport and one whom we are always glad to have among us. Senior Play; Operetta; French Club; A. A.; Chapel Music; Chorus Ac ' companist; Glee Club; Honor Award; Girls’ Basketball. 44 GROVER BAILEY “Buster” has joined the ranks of Cupid and his attentions toward a certain dentist’s daughter, who is the other class lover, lead us to believe that he may make an attempt at “liw ing happily ever after.” Good luck, Buster! A. A.; Varsity Club; Oper etta; Class Day Play; Football. JOSEPH BARNEY “Joe” is a fellow from Linebrook and because of that fact is rather bashful although he is well liked by the whole class. His wide grin helps us to like him. Commercial Club; A. A. GERTRUDE BERRY “Cert” was our class artist and dur- ing her senior year successfully de- picted our Manning Cub on the cov- ers of our magazines. Although we seldom heard from her, she proved most indispensable in her corner seat of Room IV. “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; A. A.; Operetta; Treasurer of Art Club; President of Glee Clu b; Captain of Basketball Team; Girls’ Baseball; Class Poet; Club Artist. GARDINER BOLLES Gardiner is one of those fellows who appear to be quiet and are just the opposite. When Poor and he got together in Economics, there was plenty of noise ending in a trip to the bench. A. A.; Class Day Play. 46 ARTHUR BRENNAN “Botchka” is one of our most cele- brated musicians. He played the trombone in the band but gave it up for the piano. Because of his skill on the piano he plays for the Rotary Club and is pianist for the jazz or- chestra. He earns the name of Class Baby because he is only fourteen years old. Treasurer of French Club; A. A.; Varsity Club; Class Baby; Jazz Or- chestra; Manager of Football. JOHN BURKE “Jack” is our class crooner and orator. He has a very glib tongue as shown by the jokes he played on Bolles. His ambition is to be a radio crooner, but radio fans will have to decide about this. A. A.; Football; Varsity Club; Operetta; Class Day Play. 47 HAROLD CHAMBERS CATHERINE COMEAU Catherine is pleasingly plump and jolly. She once had long and lovely curls and we all felt sorry when she had them cut ofF. Her pet subject is economics. Her ambition is to be a nurse and we are sure she will prove to be both capable and successful. Glee Club. The fact that Harold was elected class woman-hater is not held against him. In fact we respect his common sense. He also possesses that ability of minding his own business which is essential to success. A. A. 48 FRANK COOK “Tumpie” is one of our class come ' dians as was shown by the parts that he held in the Operetta for two years and also by his antics in the home room. A. A.; Operetta. GLADYS CUMMINGS Gladys is very quiet and it wouldn’t be a bad idea if some of the noisier members of Room IV were more like her. Glee Club. 49 EARL DODGE Earl certainly put Rowley on the map this year, because the honor of best looking boy was captured by none other than Rowley’s own Earl. The best part is that it hasn’t turned his head either. A. A. EVELYN DODGE “Evie” is our idea of a perfect stu- dent. For four years we have been wondering how one person could have so many brains. She is our inspira ' tion and our guiding star. Follow “Evie” and you’ll never go wrong. Glee Club; A. A.; Honor Award; Honor Student; Basketball; Operetta; Senior Play; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; President of French Club; Latin Club; Class Day Play. 50 MARJORIE DOLAN “Margie” is our most silent mem ' ber. She is planning to take a P. G.; so, seniors, prepare to see the Class Baby return also. Glee Club; A. A.; Operetta; Senior Play; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; French Club; Latin Club. NORMAN EWING “Nummy’s” favorite pastime has been chasing little freshmen through the halls. Mrs. Lord is their only savior. Some one should put them wise though because at heart “Num” is as meek and gentle as the rest of us. Just to see him amble across the room brings laughter in which even the teachers join. Sec. of A. A.; Presi ' dent of Varsity Club; Class Day Play; Football. 51 GEORGE GALANIS “Giggl es ” describes George perfect ' ly, but he does not sacrifice his studies for the pleasure he gets in school. His connections with the Salem News Company show that he is ambitious and not afraid to work. A. A. GEORGE GREENE “Greenie” is another of our best athletes. He has honorable mention as class athlete. He has made his let ' ter in football, baseball, and basket ' ball. Captain of Baseball Team; Treasurer of Varsity Club; Vice Pres ' ident of Senior Class; A. A.; “Tiger” Staff; Three Letter Man. 52 MARION GRUNDSTROM Marion is one of our silent members who comes from Rowley. She is one of our best students who obeys her teachers and knows her lessons. A. A.; Glee Club; Operetta. PARKER HALL “Hallie” is one of the bright spots in class as he is always joking. He was one of the class workers as a stage manager of the senior play and had a leading part in the operetta. A. A.; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Commercial Club; Class History. 53 ALICE HAMM Alice is our class grandmother, but you’d never know it, for she’s as spry as any of us. She has a winning smile and is always merry. Her one weak- ness is a certain lower classman. Senior Play; Vice President of Glee Club; Treasurer of Commercial Club; A. A.; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs. MILDRED HARDY “Milly” is our best looking and also most popular girl. A certain “English Lord” is going to miss “Milly” when she stays home next year. Best Look- ing Girl; Most Popular Girl; Senior Play; Operetta; Secretary of Glee Club; A. A.; Commercial Club; Class Day Play. 54 AVIS HEALD Avis is another of our members to come from Rowley. They all have about the same tactics. They are good workers and know how to obey orders. You can’t miss her as she is our only “red head.” Glee Club. ELLIS HODGKINS “Al“ is one of the clammers in our class. He hails from the “Ninth Ward.” At first it seemed evident that he would be class caveman, but we forgot about “Nummy.” A. A.; Varsity Club; Baseball; Hockey. 55 ASHLEY JEWETT “Charlie” is our class actor. Through his ability as a hero the operettas and senior play were marked successes. He was our treas urer in 1931 and also held a leading part in the operetta that year. His popularity is shown by the positions he holds. President of Commercial Club; A. A.; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Class Sheik; Class Actor; Class Prophecy; Honorable Mention as Best Looking Boy. BEATRICE JEDREY Beatrice is a delight to us all, for here is a girl who will listen to some one else talk. In spite of her quietness she has very decided opinions, which she occasionally expresses. Operetta; Glee Club; A. A.; Class Day Play. 56 PAUL KARCHONAS “Koko” was one of the members of the basketball team and obtained his “M” through his work on the team. He is very quiet where the ladies are concerned. He is never lost, however, for you will always find him at the local movie house. A. A.; Basketball. ELEANOR KING By her splendid acting in the senior play Eleanor won the title of class actress. We sometimes wonder how she ever gets any exercise, for she has a steady chauffeur. Eleanor is always ready to do something new and iiv teresting. Honor Student; Senior Play; Girls’ Basketball; Glee Club; A. A.; French Club; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Class Actress; Class Vamp; Latin Club; Science Club; Class Day Play. 57 GIANEFA KUBIC Gianefa is one of the silent mem ' bers of our class who, however, has a sunny smile which should see her through everything. A. A.; Glee Club; French Club. “Goby ' ” is always present whenever there is any harmless mischief afoot, and his pranks have brightened many a dull moment. He never went very big for the ladies but it was his own fault. He was perfectly eligible. He found more pleasure in amusing others. A. A.; Letter Man; President of Art Club; Operetta; Band; Dance and Concert Orchestras; Baseball. JOSEPH KOBOS 58 ELSIE LANG When left to her own resources, Elsie is very quiet but when she got with the rest of the girls “ in the corner,” well — her giggles have kept her row waiting more than once. Glee Club; Commercial Club; A. A. FREDERICK MACKINNEY “Fred” is rather a quiet fellow but not the hermit type. He has made quite a name for himself in Mr. Mac ' Donald’s drawing class, and all the under classmen look up to him. He is very ambitious when on the trail of a rabbit or squirrel, and once in a while he really gets one. A. A. RICHARD MANSFIELD Our class is lucky in having a leader like “Dick” who has been class presi- dent for two years. He is a leader in sports as well as in school and was elected class athlete. Secretary of Varsity Club; President of A. A.; Captain of Football Team; French Club; Bird Club; Senior Play; “Tiger” Staff; Class President; Class Athlete; Baseball; Class Day Play. ILEEN MARCORELLE Ileen is our class saint and certainly lives up to her reputation. She be- lieves that “silence is golden,” but on the other hand she’s always one of the first to appreciate our jokes. Glee Club; Class Saint. 60 FRANCIS MULLENS Francis will long be remembered at Manning, for it was he who wrote the words of our school song. If he ap ' plies the thought of his words to hiim self, he will certainly be successful. Band; Orchestra; Operetta; A. A. KENNETH MORONG “Ken” is another of our Rowley students and has done quite a bit for his home town in the way of honors, having been elected class nut and clown. The fact that usually one of these honors will cover one person should leave no doubt as to his good ' nature and popularity. A. A. 61 ARTHUR NIKAS Nikas is one of our more scholarly- members. He possesses that power of combining business and pleasure and still comes out on top in the serious jobs. A. A. KENNETH POOR If this cruel world refuses to accept Kenneth as anything else, he will at least make a very good dog-catcher. He proved this one morning in the home room. His effective drawl in the senior play was characteristic of his nature. “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Senior Play; Class History; Commer- cial Club. 62 HENRY PRISBY Henry is another of our athletes of whom we are proud, and an excellent scholar. In fact he received an honor part at graduation. He is good- natured and gets along well with everyone. It’s no wonder we chose him most popular boy in the class. Varsity Club; Treasurer of A. A.; “Tiger” Staff; Three Letter Man; Most Popular Boy; Graduation Part; Honor Student; Honor Award. CHARLOTTE SMITH “Smitty” was elected class boyolo- gist and claims she doesn’t know what it means, but we guess she doesn’t need to. All she has to do is to act natural. She is a lover of overnight hikes and always makes them merry, her chief contributions being “brown- ies” and humor. Senior Play; Oper- etta; Girls’ Basketball; French Club; A. A.; Chapel Music; Orchestra; Glee Club Accompanist; Gifts to Boys; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Latin Club; Class Lover; Class Boy- ologist. 63 BARBARA STONE ' Barbs” is one of the jolliest mem bers of our class. She is good-natured but also stands up for her own rights, and it was a matter of life and death with her to guard those hot dogs. Treasurer of Glee Club; A. A.; Hot Dog Squad; French Club; Operetta; Latin Club; Science Club; Baseball; Class Day Play. CLINTON SPENCER “Inchey” is our class midget though it’s not official. His most recent and outstanding attempt to become a man is the addition of glasses. We’ll never forget him as a daring pirate in our first operetta. A. A.; French Club; Operetta; Manager of Baseball. IDA WELLS Ida has had a busy time this year as EditordivChief of our “Cub 11 staff. Not that reading contributions kept her busy, but it was getting anything to read that she worried about. How ' ever, she managed to get together enough material to make our year successful. Editor-in ' Chief of “Cub ' ” and “Tiger 11 Staffs; A. A.; Cheer Leader; Lrench Club; Senior Play; Operetta; Glee Club; Latin Club; Science Club; Baseball; Graduation Essay; Honor Student: Honor Award. ELIZABETH WILLIAMS “Libby” has already picked out her vocation and is about a year ahead of the rest of us. She is a dentist’s as ' sistant and a very successful one, we hear. A. A.; Commercial Club; Glee Club; Class Day Play. 65 DONALD WOOD One day at Cub Meeting someone was inquiring for Wood. “Which one?” was asked. “The twin of course,” was the answer. “Don” is very likeable and always smiling, es- pecially to the girls. After four long years he finally educated a wave which is very attractive. Have you noticed it? Rumor has it that he is quite attached to Hamilton, but of course that’s only a rumor. A. A.; “Cub” and “Tiger” Staffs; Class Treasurer; Senior Play; Operetta; Varsity Club; French Club; Three Letter Man; Honor Award; Class Day Play. DOUGLAS WOOD “Doug’s” favorite pastime is argu- ing with “Don.” In fact they both enjoy it. The rest of the time he divides between girls and trying to get someone’s goat. His co-operation with Don in the senior play as one of the “twins” was quite realistic. A.

Sports Review FOOTBALL , I HIS year Manning boasts of having its best football team in years. With Mr. Conary as coach and Mansfield as captain the football team had seven victories and four defeats. Manning had 209 points in their favor against 73 points of their opponents, thus making Manning the second highest scorer in the county and possibly second highest in the state. There were 23 boys who stuck out during the season and 16 who made their letter. 68 The results of the games were as follows: Haverhill 27 Manning 0 Punchard 7 Manning 0 Pepperell 7 Manning 61 Rockport 0 Manning 14 Salem, N. H. 0 Manning 12 Johnson 7 : Manning 14 Danvers 7 Manning 6 Hamilton 0 Manning 51 Rockport 12 Manning 43 Manchester 6 Manning 8 Total: Opponents 73 points; Manning 209. points. BASKETBALL T HE basketball team had a successful season this year, having six victories and five defeats. Budsianowski was the captain and had good co ' opera ' tion from his team mates. Basketball practice was held from five P. M. until seven P. M. and the boys were certainly starved when practice was over. Besides its skill in basketball the team displayed marked ability in singing as the bus trips showed, Annie Rooney being their specialty. The results of the games were as follows: Groveland 0 Manning 2 (forfeit) Dummer 19 Manning 21 Johnson 17 Manning 12 Groveland 27 Manning 29 Merrimac 19 Manning 23 West Newbury 27 Manning 24 Manchester 34 Manning 20 West Newbury 9 Manning 22 Johnson 26 Manning 18 Merrimac 1 1 Manning 30 Manchester 29 Manning 20 HOCKEY O WING to weather conditions Mr. Burke was unable to have a varsity hockey team. Inter-class games were held and as a result the Juniors were the school champions. Five games were played. The most interesting game was between the Seniors and Juniors. The score was tied at the end of the third period, so a five minute overtime period was played and the Juniors were victors by the score of 2 ' 1 . The inter ' dass games were as follows: Juniors 8 Freshmen 0 Seniors 1 Sophomores 0 Sophomores 6 Freshmen 0 Seniors 4 Freshmen 0 Juniors 5 Sophomores 2 Juniors 2 Seniors 1 69 MANNING HIGH SCHOOL BASEBALL TEAM, 1932 Back row (left to right) : Coach Burke, Bournazos, Greenberg, Prisby, Merry, Greene, Captain; Podmoska, Spencer, Manager.

Senior Play T he Charm School,” a three act comedy, was presented by the senior class on January twentyminth. The play was a success financially as well as from a dramatic standpoint. 71 The cast was as follows: Ashley Jewett, as Austin Bevans who inherited a girls ' schoo l and attempted to run it; Kenneth Poor, as David Mackenzie, a serious and level headed student of law; Richard Mansfield, as George Boyd, an accountant; Donald and Douglas Wood as the twins, Jim and Tim Simpkins, who had no occupation; Clifford Appleton, as Homer Johns, an erratic attorney, who does not wish Austin to take the school, and who takes it away from him; Eleanor King, as Elise Benedotti, Johns’s niece, who is a pupil of the school which Austin inherits; Frances Ames, as Miss Hays, the head of the school until Austin arrives; Evelyn Dodge, as Miss Curtis, the school ' s secretary; Ida Wells, as Sally Boyd, George’s sister, a friend of Elise’s and also a member of the school; Charlotte Smith, Mildred Hardy, Marjorie Dolan, Margaret Arthur, Alice Hamm, and Helen Alhowik, as Muriel, Ethel, Alix, Madge, Lillian, and Charlotte, other pupils of the school. Everyone seemed pleased with the performance, thanks to the efforts of Miss All en and Miss Blodgett who directed it. Operetta AN APRIL eight the school as a whole presented the operetta, “The Belle of Bagdad.” This presentation was pleasing from many standpoints. It gave the townspeople an opportunity to see the musical and dramatic talents of our pupils. It was participated in in one manner or another by a large representation of the school. In addition to the principal characters there were a large chorus and a group of dancers. The oriental scenery, for the painting of which we are greatly indebted to Walter Callahan, and the light ' ing arrangement added to the effectiveness. We are grateful to Mr. and Mrs. Tozer for their successful work in directing the operetta. “The Belle of Bagdad” had an oriental setting which suddenly became a center of much activity and excitement. The part of the Caliph of Bagdad, Hassan El Carib, was taken by Donald Wood, who acted with much dignity. Eleanor Mitchell, as the favorite daughter of the Caliph and the heroine of the story, proved to be charming in both her acting qnd singing. Ashley Jewett, as Dick Taylor, acted with his usual creditable dramatic and musical ability. Frances Ames, as Henrietta Whipstitch, a romantic spinster, and John Burke, as an English lord, were most amusing in their untangling of a much entangled love affair. Other humorous parts were taken by Grover Bailey and Frank Cook, who were Bob and Bill, two airplane mechanics, who came to Bagdad from Hollywood with Dick Taylor. We hope that the two operettas, given in the last two years, will be followed by many others equally successful. 72 VARSITY CLUB OFFICERS Back row (left to right) : Mr. Burke Mr. Conary.
