We have enjoyed increased freedom and engaged in more social activi- ties. We have witnessed the birth of a new school spirit, and we have grown to accept and appreciate the responsibilities which have been shifted from teacher to pupil. Taking advantage of the in- creased facilities, we have made progress in at least one field entire- ly new to this school, viz. — art. An art class working with water colors, pen and ink, and oil paints has been started in the manual training building. The small investment made has been a great credit to the school and has, as well, developed the talent of the members of the class. The threat to remove baseball from the list of athletics served only to stimulate additional interest in the game. Basketball has grown from its unpretentious beginning two years ago, until now it is defi- nitely a major sport. The team played a highly successful inter- scholastic season, every game being staunchly supported. The sports, however, will be discussed in their proper category. The distinction which this class claims is being the first in the his- tory of Ipswich schools to graduate in caps and gowns. Whether or not we are the last remains to be seen. And now after covering some of the interesting developments of our last year in high school, it is fitting that we should close with a few thoughts of the future. Although the outlook at present is none too promising, we should not feel handi- capped by the existing obstacles. Just as the king’s son in Edward Rowland Sill’s “Opportunity” won the battle with a broken sword, so may we conquer everything by mak- ing the most of each opportunity. It is the spirit in which difficulties are faced which matters, for “the highest success crowns those who work in the highest spirit, and the supremest failure confronts those who work in the worst spirit.” 14 Literary On the Life and Death of An English Essay “TN the light of the setting sun the little house took on a delicate glow. Its windowpanes reflected the orange light of the sunset, and each one became a small lantern beaming through the dusk. Around the tiny green door, tall bushes of lilacs nodded slowly in the evening breeze, bending to look at their re- flection in the shiny knocker; while across the lake last bird calls were echoing, seeming to lull the little house to sleep content with its memories . . .” At this point my power of inven- tion failed, and I too felt like fall- ing asleep. It’s a dreadful thing to have a mind which is absolutely blank. To be sure, the setting was all arranged and a good story should have been developed, but somehow I could get no further. Therefore, I pronounced my story dead, and duly proceeded to bury it. An essay usually starts life at the suggestion of a teacher, but there have been rare occasions when a pupil has done the amazing thing and written one on impulse. The first thing necessary for success is a theme, and for some strange reason all themes seem to find a hiding- place at this particular moment, and it requires little less than a brain storm to discover them. At last one is found, — purely by accident I assure you — and we hastily pull the poor little thing to light and pro- ceed to analyze and develop it. This is indeed a long hard process. It consists of a network of paths lead- ing up to the main idea, and these paths are most distracting; in fact one is often so completely lost in their depths that it is necessary to hurry out as quickly as possible, still dragging the little theme by one idea. When the weather is fair or something of particular interest at- tracts us, this network of paths seems to increase tremendously. Nevertheless, these disturbing fac- tors can be overcome with practice and will power. Eventually you feel that you are reaching the climax when suddenly the theme, which was never very strong, begins to show signs of great weakness. After this, your dis- couragement is only exceeded by your anger. Although you give the theme a few last tugs, it dies slowly but surely. When you realize the end is near, you make one last des- perate effort to end the essay on half an idea. Sometimes this works ; most of the time it doesn’t. Yes, writing an essay requires one full brain working overtime — a rarity indeed. Some of my essays have gained recognition, although 15 the majority have been buried with worn-out ideas. Their ghosts haunt me still. In fact my brain is often a panorama of — “The Value of Edu- cation, ” “A Study of Cause and Effect,” “Superstition and Coinci- dence” — and many other such dis- turbing visions calling out in half finished sentences that I murdered them. However, I’ve finally become used to them, and now they only lull me to sleep, content with my memories. U. M. Lombard, ’38. MY LIST OF LOVELY THINGS I love the sky with white clouds rolling ; Billowy waves of sea foam flowing ; Apple blossoms opening free ; Birds twittering in a tree ; Water lilies shyly peeping Out from their cool place of keeping ; The smell of rising smoke at twilight, Flowers opening in early sunlight, Misty shadows, eerily creeping; The water of the swamp, seeping Through green and marshy grasses ; The smell of sea across the marshes. New mown hay pitched to the left, Shimmering satin, exciting and soft, Ancient books, mysterious, alluring ; Hexagons in tiled flooring. Bushes glistening with the dew, Queer shaped rocks ; roads, too. These from life’s bountiful offerings I write in my list of lovely things. Betty Orsini, ’39. CALL OF AUTUMN There’s a certain tinge in Autumn That is smelt in bur ning leaves, And you see it, oh ! so often, In the brilliant, burning trees. Though you hear it in the distance In the wild geese’s haunting call, It is something that’s within you That you can’t control at all. It’s a surging, restless, longing To be up and roam away, Where the trees are in a riot In the wild free breeze all day, Where the air is clear and sparkling Where the mountains rise in mist, And your heart is full within you In the land that God has kissed. Barbara Knowles, ’39. JUNE NIGHT The moon was a silver face, Peeping through a misty cloud. Leaves were lace. The moon was a silver face. Stars were lanterns hung in space. White blossoms in the dusky garden before the night wind bowed. The moon was a silver face, Peeping through a misty cloud. Ursula M. Lombard, ’38. 16 SLOWLY, WITH MAJESTIC STRIDE Slowly, with majestic stride, Orange robes around him drawn, The ageless sun ascends the sky, And makes announcement of the dawn. A thousand beams before him dance, heralds of the Day, Like dusty fingers reaching out to wipe the Dark away. Then, gayly i as the sun they see Fairies dance out to sip The dew that Mother Nature leaves in every flower-cup. Lilting bird calls fill the lane, While down beside the lake Familiar echoes ring again. All the world’s awake ! Across the sunny fields we roam. Knee-deep in flowers ; Then rest on the brook’s cool, mossy bank, During the noonday hours. Through the heat of afternoon muffled sounds arise And on the gentle, scented breeze are carried to the skies. Slowly, down the western sky With fading light he creeps, The last glow flickers, fades, and dies ; Now he sleeps. In heaven’s vault of midnight blue Small clouds chase a star; The slender, crescent moon is new and glimmers from afar; A bell tolls in the dusky gloom; A bird calls clear and sweet; The tired earth gives one last sigh ; All the world’s asleep! Ursula Lombard, ’38. Graduation Essays The Constitution — Yesterday and Today by Theresa de Grandpre J UST as we today are in a state of financial stress, commercial oppression, political confusion, and moderate disputation over the arguments for the strengthening of our Constitution, so was our coun- try in very much the same state of depression and argumentation over the adoption and ratification of the Constitution one hundred and fifty years ago. The Constitutional Con- vention had been held in Philadel- phia in May, 1787. After weeks of long and tedious work and hours of bitter and sincere debate, the Constitution had been adopted by the Convention that framed it and was sent to the states for ratifica- 17 tion in September, 1787. Much de- structive criticism, implying that measures had been adopted by the Federal Convention which would benefit the few at the expense of the many, had been spread abroad on account of the secrecy which had surrounded the meetings of the Constitutional Convention ; because of this, many of the delegates to the State Conventions for ratification were doubtful as to the advisability of supporting the document. The staunch refusal of Patrick Henry to attend the Philadelphia Convention certainly made an im- pression. His first speech at the Virginia Convention for ratification in which he said, “This Constitution is said to have beautiful features, but when I come to examine those features, they appear horribly frightful” reveals his utter antipathy towards the whole matter. Richard Henry Lee, who firmly believed in the Articles of Confederation and who felt that the secrecy of the delegates had been a screen to hide despicable dealings against the pub- lic, stated that “probably not one man in ten thousand in the United States, till within these ten or twelve days, had any idea that the old ship was to be destroyed.” El- bridge Gerry from our own state of Massachusetts also refused to sign the document. We must not, however, assume that the Constitution had no sup- porters. On the contrary it had Alexander Hamilton, who was, by far, its greatest and strongest sup- porter. Single-handed he forced the state of New York into ratification, first, by relating in glowing and alluring terms dreams of a bright future under this new government, and secondly, by giving a gloomy picture of the consequences if the Constitution were not adopted. George Washington, himself, al- though reluctant to express his sen- timents, very forcibly backed our Constitution. John Jay, Robert Livingston, James Madison, and Gouverneur Morris were also among the nineteen indefatigable support- ers. Let us consider for a moment what was taking place in Ipswich during this period. Ipswich, which had developed a fairly large tex- tile industry at that time and which was situated between Boston and Newburyport, the two important business and banking centers in 1788, was in favor of the Constitu- tion. But, of course, Elbridge Gerry’s refusal to sign the Consti- tution had, no doubt, influenced a great many. His reasons for oppo- sition, stated in his own words, are as follows: “My principal objec- tions to the plan are that there is no adequate provision for a repre- sentation of the people — that they have no security for the right of election — that some of the powers of the legislature are ambiguous, and others indefinite and dangerous — that the executive is blended with, and will have an undue influ- 18 ence over the legislature — that the judicial department will be oppres- sive — and that the system is with- out the security of a bill of rights. These are objections which are not local but apply equally to all the states.” Gerry made the fact known that although he maintained good reasons for refusing to sign the Constitution, he would not fail to support it if it were ratified. Copies of Elbridge Gerry’s objections were sent to all the towns of Massachu- setts for discussion. Several meet- ings were held in Ipswich for the purpose of discussing the Constitu- tion and Elbridge Gerry’s objec- tions to it. At the meeting when the question came up as to whether or not to discuss Gerry’s objections, it was moved that they be set aside, a fact which might further imply that Ipswich supported the Consti- tution. A last meeting was called on December 3, 1787, at which four members were chosen to attend the state convention for ratification at Boston. The four members were Hon. Michael Farley, John Choate, Esq., Daniel Noyes, Esq., and Col. Jonathan Cogswell. The cries of Andros’s Rebellion were undoubt- edly still ringing in the ears of our Ipswich delegates, causing them to feel the need for a strong central government. The Massachusetts Convention for ratification opened on the sec- ond Wednesday of January, 1788, with 355 delegates present. The citizens of Massachusetts were en- tirely ignorant of what the result of their Convention might be. Let us study for a moment the body politic of the Convention. On the one hand, there were many sup- porters. Nathaniel Gorham from Charlestown, Caleb Strong from Northampton, and Rufus King from Newburyport, all of whom had been members of the Federal Convention, were present to defend the Consti- tution. James Bowdoin, a former governor of Massachusetts, gave his assistance principally in the de- fense of the power vested in Con- gress under the new Constitution. Mr. Choate, one of our own Ipswich delegates, stoutly defended the same article of the document for a new government. In one of his speeches Mr. Choate stated that since the trust delegated to Con- gress was that it should “provide for the common defense and pro- mote the general welfare,” it should, therefore, be vested with the unlimited power of taxation in order to prosecute its object. He next contended that “Congress was the power of the people concentred to a point; that, as all power is lodged in them, this power ought to be supreme.” He lastly showed the necessity of its being so, not only for our common defense, but for our advantage in settling commercial treaties, domestic and foreign. Of the twenty-four clergymen present at the Massachusetts Convention seventeen later voted for the Con- stitution. It is of interest to some 19 of us to know that the Rowley dele- gate, Capt. Thomas Mighill, favored the Constitution. In fact, all the well-to-do, who were frightened by the insurrection of Shay’s Rebel- lion, were strongly in favor of the Constitution. They felt that until there was a strong federal govern- ment in control of domestic and foreign trade, there would be no hope for successful businesses and banking systems. In truth, all the seacoast towns from Boston to Maine that had developed their commerce, as well as their indus- tries, were for the stability and pro- tection of the Constitution. On the other hand, there was a powerful opposition to the Consti- tution. Probably the most important causes for resistance were the half- heartedness of Samuel Adams, then president of the Massachusetts Sen- ate, and John Hancock, then gov- ernor of Massachusetts and presi- dent of the Convention. As I have said before, the refusal of Elbridge Gerry to sign the document was probably next in importance. Eight- een of the men who had participated in Shay’s Rebellion were present at the Boston Convention. These dele- gates strongly opposed the Consti- tution, because they felt that under this new form of government, action against debtors and poor farmers would be more severe. Because the Province of Maine was a part of Massachusetts at that time and was hoping eventually to become an in- dependent state, her delegates op- posed the Constitution for fear that it would prevent her from gaining her independence. Another opposi- tion was the intense devotion to state’s rights and town meetings that had thrived in the hearts of the New Englanders. Every clause of the Constitution was debated at the Massachusetts Convention. One of the most im- portant subjects that called for a lengthy discussion was the absence of the Bill of Rights. No mention was made of religious freedom, free- dom of speech and of the press, rights to petition the government, or methods of punishment for crim- inal offences. Another long debate took place when the question of the election of Represen tatives for two years was brought up. All agreed with Samuel Adams that this term was too long; but when Adams asked Caleb Strong why so long a term had been decided on, he answered that a compromise had been necessary in order to please all the delegates. Adams then re- plied, “I am satisfied.” So great was the faith of the people in the judgment of the Father of the Revo- lution, that no more was said on this subject. The fact that the Consti- tution failed to provide religious tests for candidates caused much disorder at the meeting, but, strange to say, it was not the clergy who wanted these. In fact, the clergy had definitely modernized its ideas on this subject. The attack on slave trade was next; but when the fact 20 was pointed out that slav e trade could no longer exist after 1808, there was no more objection to al- lowing it to exist for the next twenty years as provided. Finally after all this momentous and significant discussion, the Con- stitution was presented to our Massachusetts Convention for rati- fication on February 6, 1788. The vote was carried by the very small majority of 19, there being 187 votes for it and 168 against it. You may wonder why the Constitution was accepted without a Bill of Rights; it was agreed among the delegates that they could prepare amendments to submit to Congress immediately after the ratification of the Constitution by nine states. Each of the four Ipswich delegates cast their votes in favor of the Constitu- tion. Let us just stop to think for a moment how important these four votes were to the ratification of the Constitution in Massachusetts, there being such a small majority. It is of great significance that John Han- cock and Samuel Adams were influ- enced enough by the debate to vote in favor of the new government. In turn, their votes influenced many other delegates to vote in favor of the Constitution — delegates not only from our state but from neigh- boring states also, when the Consti- tution was presented to them for ratification. Massachusetts was now the sixth state to ratify our Consti- tution, and it is a well-known fact that had our state voted against it, so great was the influence of Massa- chusetts at that time that we should in all probability be living now un- der a different form of government. Thus, as we have seen, our Con- stitution because of its elastic clause has stood the tests of West- ward Expansion, the Civil War, the Reconstruction period, “big busi- ness” development, currency prob- lems, tariff, the World War, humani- tarian movements, and the New Deal. It is the belief of the majority that our Constitution is flexible enough to undergo any strain in the future, but the sentiment that our Constitution will not stand any more amending and that there is strong need for re- form is growing daily. In closing I would urge that before we listen to the would-be reformers, sincere and otherwise, we remember the words of Mr. Charles H. Cole- man in his article “The Constitution Up To Date”: “The virtue of oper- ating under a written charter is demonstrated when we realize that our government is one of the oldest in the world, despite our comparative youth as a nation. Nearly every im- portant country in the world has un- dergone a change in its form of gov- ernment since 1789, usually by a revolutionary process. This country survived its only revolutionary at- tack (the Civil War), and the method of peaceful development involving constitutional changes when needed is firmly established as the American method.” We must also bear in mind that the Constitution was made by 21 and for the people, not the people for the Constitution. Just as our American policy of settling important matters through friendly debate and a final vote was satisfactory in bringing to a favor- able close the arguments on the rati- fication of the Constitution, so we confidently hope that the rising ques- tions of today may be settled in the same way. The History of the Nobel Award by Victoria Machaj TT ' OR the past thirty-seven years the people of every nation have either heard of or read about the Nobel Prizes, but only a very small per- centage are well acquainted with their history. Most people have little more than a rather vague conception of the magnitude of these awards. Be- cause of the importance of these prizes and the emphasis placed on re- ceiving them by the great men of our day, I shall endeavor to show the origin, extent, and significance of these awards. Alfred Nobel, the donor of these awards, was born in Stockholm, Swe- den, on October 21, 1833, of a family of distinguished scientists. His father operated factories for the manufac- ture of explosives in Russia. It was the constant contact with his brother and father and the innumerable visits to his father’s factories that gave Alfred such an extensive interest in science. Even as a youth, he showed a great aptitude for science, physics, and mechanical engineering. During this period, the uncontroll- able nitroglycerine, one of the prod- ucts of his father’s factory, was caus- ing many dangerous explosions. It was in one of these explosions that Alfred Nobel lost his brother. This caused him to exert all the initi- ative that he possessed in experiment- ing and attempting to produce an explosive less dangerous, but still as powerful as nitroglycerine. After long study and constant experimenta- tion, Alfred Nobel invented a com- pound in 1867 which he called dyna- mite, made by mixing the nitro- glycerine oil with porous absorbing material, thus converting it into a paste, the resulting dynamite being much more insensitive to shock or blow. At that time Mr. Nobel found it very difficult to introduce his in- vention to the world; but gradually it was introduced into the different countries and marks such an epoch in the history of civilization that by the time the inventor was forty years old, he was making a fortune, for dynamite was being manufactured in almost every country in the world. As Alfred Nobel was approaching the last years of his life, the question of the disposal of his fortune occu- pied his attentions. He had no chil- dren and felt it an unwise plan to leave his fortune to relatives who had not deserved it. He believed that ex- 22 treme wealth in many cases leads to idleness and prevents the develop- ment of the initiative which we all possess — the inherent desire to build an independent position for ourselves. It was his intention to help those who serve society and contribute to the welfare of mankind, receiving little compensation other than the personal satisfaction derived from the service itself. In order to accomplish his purpose, he made provisions in his will for the establishment of the Nobel Prize Fund. Each year the interest of the fortune is divided equally among re- cipients for distinguished work in five fields : namely, physics, chem- istry, medicine, literature, and in the promotion of peace. He also provided for judges in these fields as follows: the awards in physics and chemistry are made by the Royal Swedish Acad- emy of Science; the award in medi- cine is made by the Caroline Insti- tute; the Swedish Academy judges the merits of literary work submit- ted; and the peace prize is made by a committee of five elected by the Norwegian Storthing. One notice- able aspect is the universal scope which the awards embrace. No dis- tinction is made because of race, creed, or nationality; therefore, all have an equal opportunity. Since physics, chemistry, and medi- cine are all definitely related, it will be more convenient to discuss these three different fields together. It is interesting to note that the successive awards in these three fields mark great strides in the progress of science during the last century. In the first place, especially significant, originally to physical and later to medical science, was the discovery of the Rontgen or X-ray by William Rontgen, the first to be awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. It is hardly necessary to point out the value of this discovery to medical science in diagnosis and treatment of disease. Equally important was the discovery of radium and polonium by that re- markable woman, Madame Curie, who received the Nobel Award twice, once in physics and once in chemistry. No other scientist has ever been so honored. We like to pause here to think, in this connection, of her stead- fast refusal to commercialize her dis- covery and of her earnestness in wishing it to be used for the benefit of mankind. Everybody knows that radium has proved invaluable in the treatment of cancer, even curing the disease in its early stages. Truly, Madame Curie deserved to be so sig- nally honored by the Nobel Award. Among American scientists to be honored by the Nobel Award in chemistry are Thomas Richards and Irving Langmuir, who have increased our knowledge of atoms, electrons, and neutrons. Among the recipients of the Nobel Prize in medicine we have one of the greatest doctors that ever lived, Dr. Emil Bekring, who is the discoverer of diphtheria antitoxin and who sub- sequently made practical the use of the serum of animals immune to 23 diphtheria. Edgar Douglas Adrian and Sir Charles Sherington are two British physiologists who are known for their great research and investi- gation of the nervous system. They have given us a complete study of the nerve impulse and the nerve tissue. Nor should we fail to mention Dr. Alexis Carrel, who came to the United States from France to continue his study of blood transfusions and blood vessels. It is, of course, true that these scientists and many others worked without any thought of reward, and these invaluable contributions to sci- ence would have been made if Alfred Nobel had never conceived his phil- anthropic plan. However, it is a source of satisfaction to see genius and unselfish devotion to a cause recognized, and to note, as we have said, that the prizes record, to a cer- tain extent, the great progress in science during the last forty years. When we come to consider the Nobel Awards in literature, we find that this field is one of the most in- teresting and arouses the most con- troversy. Recognizing the fact that here it is not so interesting to trace movements or progress, and realiz- ing too, that judgment of contempo- rary literature cannot be trusted too far, still we can all agree that the awards have been made to writers whose work is, at least, significant. In 1907, Rudyard Kipling received the Nobel Award for his famous short stories and novels of life in India. Especially proud are we of Sinclair Lewis who in 1930 became the first American to win the Nobel Prize in literature. In spite of the criticism attendant upon this award, we be- lieve he has revealed his sincerity of purpose as well as his prejudices. May poetry, drama, and prose con- tinue to develop in the United States and bring Nobel honor in literature to this country. It seems strange to most of us that the inventor of dynamite should in his will leave a share of his fortune to those per sons who contribute toward the promotion of world peace. It is reported that in the later years of Alfred Nobel’s life he became very much interested in what different so- cieties were doing to promote peace. It was his belief that by improving war material and, henceforth, in- creasing the dangers of war, he was in some paradoxical way contributing toward the peace of the world. We must admit that the men who have struggled to promote peace de- serve great honor, even though in these troublous and discouraging times they appear to be voices crying in the wilderness. Far from making progress toward world peace, since the first peace award was made, we seem to be daily growing farther and farther away from that ideal which has filled the minds and imaginations of so many peace-loving individuals. In spite of this fact, however, the in- tentions of the prize winners were noble and their accomplishments worthy of recognition ; and even the present mad scramble for armament 24 and frenzied preparations for war should not blind us to their service or discourage future efforts in the direction of peace. We therefore point with pride to Theodore Roose- velt, who received the award for his efforts in bringing about the peace treaty between Japan and Russia in the early part of the century; and to Woodrow Wilson, another great pres- ident, who exerted his efforts in ne- gotiating peace before the entrance of America into the World War. It is a very great debt, therefore, that we owe to the individuals who have been honored by Nobel Prizes in physics, chemistry, medicine, lit- erature, and in the promotion of peace. They have contributed to the welfare of humanity after years of research and hard labor. They have inspired in others ideas which de- veloped into further discovery, and they will continue to do so. In Amer- ica, the Land of Opportunity, there are millions of honest and ambitious young people who should make their country proud and in years to come bring to it its share of Nobel Honors.

Lombard X OUR years have passed since we, -L the class of 1938, hurried some- what timidly up the creaking steps of the old Manning building to our refuge in the ‘‘attic.” Now as we face our Graduation Day we look back with a smile at those rather barbaric individuals who were ourselves as freshmen. Our first year began in the Septem- ber of 1934, and in December at a truly freshman class meeting we elected Richard Davis, president; Richard Horton, vice-president ; Sam- uel Lombard, treasurer; and Ursula Lombard, secretary. In March we made our “debut” to Manning “soci- ety” ' when we entertained the sopho- mores at a St. Patrick’s Day dance. The sophomores enjoyed themselves; we lost ninety-eight cents. Our next venture was a play, Circumstances Alter Cases , which was presented to an unappreciative audience by a rather frightened cast, while the stage managers held up the scenery which threatened to collapse and ruin some of our most dramatic moments. “Dick” Horton played the part of a young prep-school boy and by some cruel trick of Fate he had obtained a suitcase of such size that it was prac- tically an impossibility for both him and the suitcase to get through the door at the same time. The audience found the struggle between “Dick,” the suitcase, and the door more amus- ing than the play itself. “Ruthie” Stone was the girl of the story while 25 I, as “Dick’s” widowed mother, beamed dutifully on the happy pair. In our sophomore year we chose “Dick” Horton, president; David Smith, vice-president; Theresa de Grandpre, secretary ; and Stewart Player, treasurer. This year is con- sidered the most uneventful year of our high school career. To be sure, we made several attempts to live up to our newly acquired reputation, but these always failed. When the elec- tion for Queen of the Snow Carnival was held, we suddenly realized that it was quite possible for us to be beaten. When this amazing fact dawned on us, we held a quick class meeting and then sent our candidate, Claudene Howard, down to the office with one hundred more votes, the en- tire class chasing after her just to make sure no one pushed the clock ahead, since twelve o’clock was the deadline for votes. We came in sec- ond, but since our class was well rep- resented among the winners of vari- ous carnival events, we were some- what appeased. Our junior year elections had the same results as did our sophomore with the exception of treasurer, which office Samuel Lombard re- gained. It was during this year that we entered the new school, and this called for a dedication at which pro- gram we juniors were well repre- sented. With this move to the new high school we received our big chance to do that which we had been hoping to do for a long time — to hold a Junior Prom. After some weeks of preparation, the big night arrived, and we had a chance to be, for that night at least, rulers of our “social circle.” It didn’t matter to us that our grand march was a little shaky and that it took the audience fully five minutes to realize that we were marching at all — the only thing that mattered was that we were having a Junior Prom. After our dance there came that never-to-be-forgotten dispute over class rings. One-half of the class wanted one style while the other half wanted another. Such a situation called for innumerable class meet- ings at which every one voiced his opinion at the same time in the loud- est possible voice. As a result, no one could hear anyone but himself. Finally after a great deal of voting, one ring was decided on to the great joy of one section of the class and the great disappointment of the other. Our junior year ended on this happy note and during the following sum- mer days we dreamed golden dreams of our senior year in which we would conquer everything and everybody. In September of 1937 our dream was realized. Needless to say, we did not conquer anyone and our studies almost conquered us. When exam time rolled around, however, we dis- covered that it was only study and hard work which saved our dream from becoming a nightmare. At our election of class officers we chose Richard Horton as president for a third term; Jessie Campbell, vice-president; Theresa de Grandpre, 26 secretary; and Samuel Lombard, treasurer. The Senior Play, The Gypsy Trail, brought to the attention of the world i n ge neral the number of Broadway aspirants that the cast contained. The cast was made up of such notable personages as Jessie Campbell in the role of “Frances,” who demanded too much of any man; “Bob” Clapp as “Michael,” the roaming adventurer who finally became civilized; and David Smith as “Ned Andrews,” the soul of conventionality; “Johnny” as played by Samuel Lombard proved to be the original “kid brother” who required a good deal of supervision by Ruth Stone as “Aunt Janet” and Richard Horton as “Mr. Raymond.” Althea Hebb in the role of “Ellen,” an old family retainer, tried not to be too surprised at any unusual proceed- ings, while Alden Mosher as “Stiles,” the butler, did his best to remember to ring the telephone before answer- ing it; and Ursula Lombard as “Grandma” grew sentimental over long lost lovers. The rehearsals were something that the members of the cast will never quite forget. The familiar phrase “What an actor!” will be remembered long after the name of the play itself is forgotten. Although “Dave” Smith was the au- thor of this famous motto, it soon be- came a password for the entire cast , and the whole play can be expressed in these words — “What a play !” The most memorable occasion in our senior year was the fight made for caps and gowns. The class was about evenly divided on the question ; so the fight was a good one and a marvelous time was had by all. The climax of the situation came on the day when some members of the class modeled the caps and gowns for our inspection. Some of them, we must admit, looked like “Dopey” of Seven Dwarfs’ fame — the gowns were al- most big enough to walk by them- selves. Nevertheless, success crowns all earnest effort, and the class finally voted to be the first class ever to grad- uate from Ipswich High in caps and gowns. The result is before your eyes; we hope the sight is not too revolting. Thus the class of ’38 has journeyed from September of 1934 to June of 1938. It’s been a lot of fun and quite a bit of hard work, but we’ve enjoyed every minute of it. Graduation Day is just around the corner, that day which we have been looking forward to for four years. Yet, somehow, we approach it with a feeling of regret and sadness. It is the day which will send us out into the world to earn our living, form new friendships, and give us a chance to be a success. We know nothing of the future; we can only hope that it will be as happy and as profitable as was the past. 4 ' 27 Class Prophecy by Virginia McGlew and Edward Gaudet r T ' IME : 1958 A.D. ■ Scene: A Rowley home. Edward: Good morning. Could I interest you in some Fuller Brushes, Madam? Virginia: No. I don’t care for any today. ffl Edward: Virginia McGlew as I live and breathe! It is Virginia, isn’t it? Virginia: Yes, but not McGlew now. So Eddie Gaudet became a Fuller Brush man. Edward : Uh huh ! I’m on my way to the home office in Boston. Think- ing I might be able to make a few sales, I stopped here in Rowley. Virginia: And am I glad you did! Just about graduation time every year, I get homesick and begin to wonder what has become of former schoolchums. Now maybe you can satisfy my curiosity. Do you ever see any of our classmates in Boston? Edward: I should say I do! Ursu- la Lombard has a studio right in the same building where my office is lo- cated. She gives lessons in diction and elocution. Virginia : That’s a natural. Ursu- la always had a silver tongue. Tell me more. Edward: Heavens, woman! You’d better see the information bureau ! Oh, yes, occasionally I see Lorraine Flewelling. She’s taking a course in photography so she can help her fiance, Johnny Alexander, develop pictures. Virginia: Are they still “hitting it off”? What happened to the other twosomes in our class? Edward: Well, Claudene Howard works in a music shop playing and singing all the latest song hits, and I’ve heard that Bob Clapp practically keeps the store in business since she got the job. Virginia: Speaking of one twin makes me think of the other. Where’s sister Connie now? Edward : Mrs. Gauld is one of the leading figures in North Shore soci- ety. And say, you remember “Millie” Conant who was picked class vamp? Virginia: Of course! Who could forget blue-eyed Millie? Edward: Well, she’s at West Point instructing the cadets in ball- room dancing. Virginia: But I thought she was engaged ! Edward: Several times! How- ever, she has never reached the altar. Virginia: And you, Eddie? Haven’t you met “the girl” in your travels? Edward: No. I haven’t been as lucky as some of my classmates. Virginia: Er! Ah! That must be my Boston Post. I’ll run and get it. I always read Priscilla Saunders’: “Advice to the Lovelorn” the first thing. Do you ever run into Priscilla? Edward: No, I understand she’s something of a recluse. Virginia: Not much like “Dot” Dupray. You see her anywhere at 28 any time. She’s star reporter for the Globe , you know. Edward: Really? How about her constant companion, Althea Hebb? Virginia: You mean to say you . . . Why Althea is teaching commercial work in our alma mater. Edward: Back at Ipswich High? I can hardly believe it, — one of our classmates teaching in old Ipswich! I bet Althea makes them “toe the mark.” You see I’m covering the dis- trict the other side of Boston, so I can’t keep track of the news down this way. Virginia: If you didn’t know about Althea, this will be news too. Aphrodite Galanies is owner of that impressive looking building on Fifth Avenue known as “Aphrodite’s Beauty Salon.” They say the facials you get there from Thelma Fowler are something to rave about. Edward: Thelma Fowler? She was in our class, wasn’t she? Virginia: Of course. She and Ralph Recine were “that way” about each other. I wonder what happened? Edward: That ended up in wed- ding bells and a happy married life in a new apartment in New York where Ralph is the stage manager of a night club. Gosh ! Haven’t the fel- lows and girls in our class scattered? Not many left in Ipswich. Virginia: Oh wait! I haven’t fin- ished yet. When I was at the Cable Memorial Hospital last month . . . Edward : What ! Virginia: Having my tonsils re- moved, who do you think was my night nurse? Edward : I give up ! I can’t stand many more shocks ; so break the news gently. Who was it? Virginia: None other than Vicky Machaj. We should have had a grand time reminiscing, but Vicky, always on the job, had to keep running hither and yon answering bells. Surely you must have had time to recall what the others are doing. Why not take a few of our celebrities? Edward : Our best-looking girl, Betty Martel, is buyer of women’s clothes at Marshall and Fields, in Boston. Virginia: I wonder if that name Marshall awakens any memories for Betty? Heavens! Look at the time. Edward : Am I keeping you from an appointment? Virginia: No, but I’ve been so en- grossed in our chat that I’ve missed Betty Hale’s program. Edward : What next ! Does she sing? Virginia: No. It’s a half hour talk on child care. You know Barbara Waite and Betty studied at the Chil- dren’s Hospital in New York. Edward : Barb was our girl athlete, right? Remember how she and Mr. Conary used to argue about basket- ball? Is Barb still working in New York? Virginia: Yes, but at present she and her parents are vacationing at the Neck. Oh, yes! I meant to ask about Winnie Palladino when we 29 were speaking about Betty Martel. Edward: Oh, Winnie? She went in training to be a nurse, and she liked it so well she went into partner- ship with a doctor for life. Virginia: Doctors, medicine, drug stores, Dot Fuller, and Polly Smith. Edward: What have they got to do with all that? Virginia: Dot and Polly have re- juvenated the old drug store across from the post office. Dot fills pre- scriptions and Polly jerks sodas. Edward: No, really! You have a charming little place here. Virginia: Do you like it? I’ll have to give the credit to Ruth Stone and Alice Kuconis for that. Edward: You’re talking in riddles again. Remember I’m only a travel- ing salesman. You’ll have to eluci- date. Virginia: Why, didn’t you know? Ruth and Alice are interior deco- rators with a lively business which extends all along the North Shore. Edward: Gosh! I didn’t realize there were so many in our class. Doesn’t that cover about everyone? Virginia: Heavens, no! I can think of several more without half trying. Elsa Emmons inherited a large farm in Byfield and has started a riding school. Rita MacKinnon goes up at least once a week. She says riding does wonders for her fig- ure. Rita, you know, is head of the drive for more sanitary and health- ful conditions in shoe shops. Edward: Rita should know what she’s talking about. She used to work at Foster’s shoe shop. Then there’s Eleanor O’Malley. Eleanor is in one of the current hits playing on Broad- way. Here’s something that will “bowl” you over. Theresa de Grand- pre is private secretary to a district attorney. Virginia: I’m properly awe strick- en, but she isn’t the only one who has arrived. Jessie Campbell, who used to manage things for the senior class so skilfully, is now a movie director. Yes, Jessie is one of the leading direc- tors at the Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer studio. She has as her assistant Alice Karchonas, who should know movies, inside and out. She spent all her spare time at the local theatre, as you probably remember. Edward : And what abou . . . Virginia: Stop! I’ve done my share of answering. You take over for a while. I’ll do the asking. Edward : Shoot ! Virginia: Whatever became of red- haired Jackie Tremblay who was our outstanding cheerleader ? Edward: At present she’s abroad resting up from the 1947 Olympics. She was the representative for the U. S. A. in cheer-leading. Of course you’ve heard of Marjorie Sheppard’s triumphs in the fifty-yard dash for women. Virginia: Isn’t that thrilling! Priscilla Worthley isn’t losing any time in “making her place in the sun” either. Edward: You must mean the girl who was Don Hazen’s heart interest senior year. 30 Virginia: None other. But get a load of this ! Priscilla has taken over the direction of Ina Ray Hutton’s Band. And if the newspapers have the story right, she’s going over big, taking with her Virginia Mallard, who is publicity agent for the band. Edward : And I passed up a chance to hear that band just re- cently. Well, you’re asking the ques- tions. Virginia: As if I’d forget. Do you remember the girl who sat in front of me in the home room? Mary Mavroides? What is she working at? Has she grown any? Edward: Not an inch. She man- ages to keep a very important posi- tion, however, as chief operator at the telephone switchboard in Boston. Virginia: What a waste! Think what an ideal jockey she would have made. Then Dot Adams who was so quiet; did she marry? Edward: Yes, the fellow whose picture she wore on her wrist. Wasn’t there another Rowley girl? Tall, slim, and dark? Virginia: You must mean Marion Benischek. She and Ruth Eustace formed a partnership and opened a dressmaking shop. Edward: That worked out right, didn’t it? They both received prizes in school for superior sewing. Virginia: That seems to take care of everyone, Eddie. Edward : Oh, no. As you’ve prob- ably surmised, Bill Galanis and “Buck” Georgeopoulos have remained loyal to the theatre. They own all the theatres in Ipswich. Virginia: What else can you tell me? Edward : Remember the good times we had at the Cub meetings? And how hard Dick Horton tried to keep o rder. Well, he’s having more suc- cess now as editor-in-chief of the Herald , And speaking of the Herald , guess who advertises in it! Virginia: I give up. Who? Edward: None other than Don Hazen. Here’s the “ad” I clipped out of last evening’s paper. “Grow a moustache in one week by using Hazen’s Never-Fail Moustache Grow- er. Guaranteed to give prompt re- sults.” Virginia: What has become of your close friends? Edward: Well, Dave Smith is about the best known of them. He croons every night with the “High Street Corn Huskers.” In the day- time he is the son of Dr. E. J. Smith and Son, Dentists. Virginia: And look who writes articles in the Post ! Stewart Player. And look at the title — “How to Drive Safely.” Edward: What! Well, who would have thought that, after all the smash-ups he was in during his school days ! Virginia: What has happened to some of Billy Galanis’s friends? Edward : I can’t tell you very much about Pete Costopoulos because he is never in one place for over a day. The last I heard of him, he was in Calcutta and going East. 31 Virginia: And Ted Pojasek owns the “Diamond Center Night Club” in New York. Edward: I’ve heard about him. Also that his orchestra is led by Al- den Mosher; and Bob Mullens plays the bull fiddle in it. Have you been living in Rowley for long? Virginia: Yes, almost ever since I left school. Why? Edward : I was wondering whether you knew about any Ipswich boys. Virginia: Jimmy Nikas and Char- lie Soffronas couldn’t get away from the newspapers; so they bought the Ipswich News and now run it to- gether. Edward: Well, I know about Nick Markos. I suppose we all do, but I’ll tell you to make sure. Any time you’re in Boston, go to 1076 Common- wealth Avenue and there he is, — short, rugged, and usually smoking the blackest cigar on the market. He runs the store, and his modern apart- ments begin at 1078, one door away. How about some of the Rowley fel- lows? You ought to know something about them. Oh, and I forgot to men- tion the fact that Nick’s sister Julia is a valuable aid to him in his busi- ness. Virginia: They believe in keeping business in the family, don’t they? Dick Hayman has fulfilled his ambi- tion and is now down in South Amer- ica building bridges. He married a native. Edward: Any time you’re in Ar- lington stop at Hulbert’s Alarm Clock factory. He makes these new Ting-a-Ling Clocks that get you out of bed as well as wake you. Too bad he didn’t have one when he was in school. Virginia: Wait a moment! Here is the latest Good Housekeeping. Look closely at the cover. I thought you’d recognize it. Sammy Lombard has a school of art, you know. He has two of our classmates as instruc- tors — Nappy Beaulieu and Marjorie Hull. Edward : Yes, I know about them, and Marjy is still as forgetful as ever. I heard last week that she got on a subway train and forgot to get off at her station. She ended up in the North Station and was she em- barrassed ! Virginia: Well, I guess Marjy’s the last one as usual ! And what an odd place to leave her ! Edward : And I guess this is where I’d better leave you. Here I’ve wasted your afternoon, made myself late in reporting, and not made a single sale. The afternoon hasn’t been all in vain, though, because at least your curiosity has been satis- fied. Virginia: Thanks, and yours too. Well, glad you stopped. Goodbye. Edward : Goodbye. 32 Gifts to Girls by Samuel Lombard L OOK you now, round about me; See these maids of ’38; Four long years Fve dwelt among them, And o’er their graces I orate. As sun parched meadows kiss the dew And of its moisture take; So I the presence of these maids Do most unwillingly forsake. Thus do these charms perpetual, These pearls of dewy day, I give these gifts so practical To guide them on their way. To Lorraine Flewelling this tie I hand, The plaid of the Alexander Clan. For Jessie Campbell, this lighthouse red, To warn her of rocks at Marblehead. To Alice Karchonas, our bookworm industrious, I award this book with stories illus- trious. To Pauline Smith, the girl with the smile, I give this toothpaste to keep it worthwhile. To Elizabeth Hale, this mirror so true, So that she may enjoy those dimples too. For Elsa Emmons, our class tomboy, I found this bat; to her it’s no toy. For Thelma Fowler this weapon so keen ; It may subject even rugged Recine. For Barbara Waite, our girl athlete, I give these “Wheaties” to faithfully eat. Victoria Machaj this halo should fit, For if we’d a saint, she’d surely be it. To Betty Martel I give — Guess what? No it’s not Nelson Eddy, But a clearer and dearer thing to her heart, A bouncing brown-eyed Teddy. To Alice Kuconis, with rhythm en- closed, I give this glorious relic of “Moshe.” For Virginia Mallard, this racket I bought To v ield upon the tennis court. To Dorothy Adams, our maid so quiet, I give this horn ; come, Dorothy, try it! To Aphrodite Galanis, best dressed of the girls, I give these wonderful (ten cent) pearls. To Mildred Conant I give this comb, In hopes that occasionally she leaves it at home. 33 For Marjorie Sheppard some water to lug, Contained so safely in this Merry brown “Jug.” To Winifred Palladino comes this leash today, To keep her Saunier from going astray. To Mary Mavroides, a little mite, I give this soap box to lend her height. For Marion Benischek this apron is handy, Whose s ervice as waitress is notably dandy. To Ruthie Stone I give this quill, To use it for sweet words to Bill. To Ruth Eustace, a clever sewer, I give this zipper to raise or lower. To Theresa de Grandpre who’d adorn any college, I give sincerely this lamp of knowl- edge. To Dorothy Dupray this soap and tub, For the ink was quite dirty when publishing The Cub. To Dorothy Fuller this swim suit I deliver, For she’s quite a diver in the good old Rowley River. To Virginia McGlew, for the sake of Eddy, I give this hour glass, so she’ll always be ready. To Jacqueline Tremblay, our cheer- leading maid, I give this megaphone, so her voice will not fade. To Marjorie Hull this palette I give, For her works in oils seem destined to live. To Rita MacKinnon comes this very fine broom, To use in each and every room. Eleanor O’Malley, who loves to dance, Can use these shoes to tap and prance. To Priscilla Worthley comes this token of luck, A most inspiring “Donald Duck.” For Althea Hebb this shadow I brought ; It will do the work of faithful “Dot.” For Julia Markos, on these ’cuffs I’ve decided, So that she and Mary will ne’er be divided. To Priscilla Saunders who weighs ninety-eight, This cod liver oil to double her weight. When the Howard Twins march down the street Each in a beautiful wrap, No one will have “Gauld” enough not to stare, To follow, to praise, and to “Clapp.” 34 On Ursula Lombard my darling Sis, I bestow most lovingly this luscious kiss. The gifts are given ; I have no more; I sincerely hope They’ll be no bore, But to the girls Bring happy bliss ’Till they fade together In a foggy mist. Gifts to Boys by Barbara Waite NE rainy evening during our April vacation, I was sitting idly in front of the brightly blazing fire- place gazing abstractedly at the flames as they crackled and assumed fantastic shapes before me. A com- mission I had recently received from the class of 1938 doubtless accounted for the strange forms which my imag- ination conjured up from the mount- ing flames. First to capture my imagination was a brilliant red flame, which sug- gested a beautiful head of red hair. This I have tried to duplicate for Bobby Clapp, knowing his fondness for Titian tints. The next shape which I imagined in the flames was that of Donald Duck waddling in pursuit of a worthy little pussy cat. Here she is, Donald (Hazen) . At that moment the flames began to crackle angrily and resemble the voice of Teddy Pojasek raised in an- ger over a broken clam digger. Per- haps this brand new one will save your patience, Teddy. The next form I seemed to see was a long, lanky flaming figure riding a bicycle several sizes too small for him. This was, of course, Eddie Gaudet, riding to Little Neck to see the delegation from Melrose. I am sure that with this car he may ride more often and with less effort down across the wind-swept hills. As the logs suddenly settled, a flame leaped out, suggesting the glare of flashlights. That reminded me that Billy Galanis and Buck George- opoulos might find these useful in their business. The flames then emitted a hissing sound, but musical withal, suggesting the buzzing of a bee. This will serve as local color for those duets, Dicky (Horton) . A spreading oval flame looked to me like a football which would honor Benny Markos for his gridiron career in Ipswich High. The oval flame then rounded out into a full romantic moon which I imagined to be shining over a pretty little waterfall. We’ll leave it to Dave Smith to find the girl. As a baby flame rose and divided on each side of a burnt out log, I was reminded of our baby, Peter Costo- poulos, who will look very cute in these rompers. 35 A sudden darting flame, executing intricate figures, told me that Dick Hayman, Rowley’s champion skater, would like these skates. The multi-colored flames resulting from the use of metallic powder gave me the idea of a box of paints for Nappy Beaulieu, who has artistic aspirations. The next figures in the flame to capture my imagination were the six little dwarfs marching home from work. I could discern little relevancy in these fantastic figures until I caught sight of the seventh, Sleepy, leaning against a log and snoozing peacefully. Why of course, Gordon Hulbert. The next change of scene on my fire stage showed a little boy, resem- bling Sammy Lombard, doing monkey shines. Though most of Sammy’s tricks were done back stage, he quali- fies for this monkey, which we trust will give him some competition. Next I was attracted to a dark flame which alternately burst up and died down with greater and greater frequency. This reminded me of a Jack-in-the-Box, and so of Jimmy Nikas. A long pointed flame took on the shape of a gun, with which Ralph Recine may bring down his Fowl (er). Alden Mosher deserves this medal as the only he-man among the Senior “twosomes” who, in the cap and gown argument, was able to resist the influence of the girl. A bowl-shaped flame then sug- gested a prize bowl for a champion bowler, John Player. We hope it doesn’t bowl him over. My fancy next caught Charlie Sof- fronas putting the finishing touches on a bookcase which, according to report, is more than he did at shop. This one may console him. As I arrived at this point in my fancies, the tongs suddenly fell down with the jarring insistence of an alarm clock, suggesting an appropri- ate gift for Robert Mullens. The unpleasant sound of the falling tongs had also served to awaken me from my reveries. Besides, the fire was dying down, and since it had served its purpose, why tax my imagination further?

How- ever, in the case of Gilbert and Sulli- van, nothing could be further from the truth, for they have surrounded the word “opera” with entirely differ- ent associations. Many people living today can recall the joy of seeing a performance of “Pinafore” or some other opera when these two men first swept this country by storm. That they still retain their popularity is evidenced by the fact that their works today thrill thousands who find it difficult to secure seats when the d’Oyly Cartes make their annual visit to America. Before progressing too far with the details of their collaboration, it may be well to mention briefly a few facts in the early lives of these geniuses. William Schwenck Gilbert was born 102 years ago on November 18, 1836, the only son of a naval sur- geon. At the early age of t wo years, he was kidnaped by bandits in Naples and held for ransom, but he was re- turned unharmed to his parents. Dur- ing his early school days, he was ex- tremely lazy and a poor student, but he was so inspired later that he be- came a brilliant scholar at London University. Having received an in- heritance of $2000, he studied to be- come a barrister after graduation from college. However, he met with little success. Meanwhile, he had be- come well known as the author of “Bab Ballads” and of several plays which are now practically forgotten. Arthur Seymour Sullivan was born of musically gifted Irish parents on May 13, 1842. By the time he was eight years old, he could play every wind instrument in his father’s band. Later, he attended the Royal Acad- emy of Music where he won the Mendelssohn Scholarship, his nearest competitor for the honor being Jo- seph Barnby who wrote “Sweet and Low.” Sullivan then went to Liepzig, Germany, to study harmony, compo- sition, and pianoforte under the best teachers of the time. Thus, being almost entirely musical in nature, his education fitted him perfectly for the unique work which he did later with Gilbert. In 1871, Gilbert and Sullivan pro- duced their first operetta, “Thespis,” which was a total failure. It was not 40 until Richard d’Oyly Carte reunited them that they began, four years later, their long and unfriendly col- laboration. “Trial By Jury,” a satire on the English courts, produced then, was a marked success. The not too successful “The Sorcerer” was fol- lowed by “H. M. S. Pinafore.” It was a matter of some weeks before “Pina- fore” was recognized as the most successful of the collaborators ' prod- ucts then written. Once its fame was established in England, however, it was not long before it secretly sailed to America where the play was ille- gally given nightly in the Boston Museum to enthusiastic audiences. Then, both Gilbert and Sullivan came to America themselves to present “The Pirates of Penzance” in its world premiere. It is interesting to note in connection with this that a large portion of the music had been left at home; so Sullivan hastily re- wrote the necessary parts from mem- ory. A few years later, worn out from writing “Princess Ida,” feeling that Gilbert’s librettos overshadowed his scores, and adding that his own sup- ply of tunes was becoming exhausted, Sullivan announced that he had de- cided to give up writing anything more with Gilbert. Indeed, it seemed that he could no longer find original songs. But when he was accused of plagiarism of a particular melody by Molloy, we see a glimpse of his humor when he retorted, “You must remem- ber that Molloy and I had only seven notes to work on between us.” After much diplomatic handling by Carte, the appeased Sullivan started work on “The Mikado” which today ranks at the top in popularity and in box- office favor. Let us now digress from the tale of what they wrote and instead watch how T these temperamental men might go about writing and producing any of their later works. After Gilbert had conceived what he considered a suitable plot, he made out a prelim- inary sketch which he usually mailed to Sullivan, for they were such in- compatible beings that the greatest part of their business was carried on by mail. When the outline was agree- able to both, Gilbert wrote up quite fully the first act and hurried it off to the musician. Sullivan, upon re- ceiving the act, immediately reduced it to a series of dots and dashes, and only then did he seek a tune. As each successive act was received, Sullivan repeated the process until the whole was completed. The two then met to polish up the play, Gilbert added all the stage directions, and it was then ready for rehearsals. When rehearsals for a new play were about to start, Sullivan ap- peared in the theater, played over the tunes a few times to the characters concerned, and there absolved him- self of practically all responsibility for the operetta’s success. For Gil- bert, however, who was the producer, the cares had just begun. He super- intended every detail of costume, 41 lighting, scenery, and singing and yet possessed such endurance that he was still full of energy when the cast had long been completely ex- hausted. He drilled and drilled the cast and then drilled them again, until they effected every necessary and required action automatically and perfectly. He was satisfied only with perfection. If the acting in a scene was not to his liking, Gilbert took the part of the faulty sailor, bride, lady, or juryman as the case demanded, and patiently enacted the role until the actor or actress could do the part without a flaw. But, of course, Gilbert ' s moods varied wide- ly at these rehearsals. When his perennial gout and arthritis troubled his system, he often used very vigor- ous language. An actor once rever- ently said of him: “He’s the only man I ever met who could swear straight on for five minutes without stopping to think and without repeat- ing himself.” In contrast, on one occasion, one member of a chorus continually raised his left hand when he should have raised his right. It was useless for Gilbert to become angry about such a trivial matter, and so he advised the erring member thus: “My good fellow, if you don’t know your right, ask the gentleman on your left.” While Gilbert was directing all his energy toward perfecting the oper- etta, Sullivan occasionally made visits to the Prince and P.’incess of Wales and even to Queen Victoria herself, but usually he went to Monte Carlo where he gambled heavily and was lavishly entertained by royalty However, he always returned in time to conduct the orchestra at a pre- miere. On the opening night of a perform- ance, Gilbert became so nervous that he made a nuisance of himself by asking the stage manager and actors a hundred foolish questions to assure himself that every detail was in per- fect order. Just before the curtain went up, he left the theater and walked the streets or went to his club until 11:00 o’clock. He then re- turned to make his bow to the audi- ence. There on one side stood Gil- bert — tali and military in bearing, glowering and scowling as if the whole affair were a personal insult. From the other side came Sullivan — short and sure in step, bowing and smiling, graciously accepting the cheers and applause. At the close of the first performance of their last important work, “Utopia Limited,” when the two shook hands, the audi- ence wildly shouted themselves hoarse. This is one of the rare occa- sions when they acknowledged each other’s presence on the stage. “Ruddigore” summoned forth the first “Boo” in the collaborators’ his- tory. Because it was so regarded by the audience, Gilbert suggested that the play might be renamed “Not Half So Good As The Mikado,’. Anxious to restore themselves to the public’s favor, the two produced “The Yeo- man of the Guard.” It did exactly what they wanted and was so fer- 42 vently received at first that it threat- ened to surpass the popularity of “The Mikado.” There ensued another rift between Carte and Sullivan on one side and Gilbert on the other when their next opera had been started. The finished result, “The Gondoliers,” was Gilbert’s cleverest work and ranks in success with “The Mikado.” Whether it be coincidence or a psychological reaction these, their two best works, followed their two most heated arguments. Queen Victoria had a predilection for Sullivan but ignored Gilbert’s genius. She knighted Arthur in 1883, but Gilbert received no such recognition until after both the queen and Sullivan were dead, when he was dubbed Sir William by George VII. On another occasion, the queen slighted Gilbert at a command per- formance of “The Gondoliers” by omitting his name from the program and substituting the name of the wigmaker in bold letters. Sullivan’s fame earned him honors other than knighthood. In 1876 he had been made Principal of the National Training School of Music, and from 1879- 1898, he conducted the orchestra at the Leeds Festivals for which he wrote “The Golden Legend.” Two other famous compo- sitions which Sullivan contributed to the musical world are “The Lost Chord” and “Onward Christian Sol- diers” without mention of which no account of his life is complete. After a recurrence of a kidney disease which had long affected him, Sullivan died in 1900. Although he sought a new collaborator vainly, Gilbert wrote several unimportant plays the last of which was entitled “The Hooligan.” This work closed with the prophetic line, “Death from heart failure,” and eleven years after the death of Sullivan, Gilbert drowned following a heart attack while rescuing a girl who, in learning to swim, had gone out over her head. And thus, the life of these two gentlemen, who were made famous and wealthy by their sparkling sat- ires, drew to a close. Their contri- bution to this world is unique, and never, with the sole exception of Shakespeare’s works, have plays so popular been written. Their collab- oration marked one of those unusual combinations in which the librettist was master of the composer. Gilbert’s intricate verses are unique ; Sullivan’s catchy tunes are unique; the whole result is unique, for never before or after them has there been any com- petition. At this point I am sure you will agree with me that not the least of Gilbert’s contributions to mankind is “The Nightmare” from “Iolanthe,” in which he, all unknowingly, pro- vided me with a means of exit: “the night has been long — ditto, ditto my song — and thank goodness they’re both of them over!” 43 Graduation Program INVOCATION Reverend Richard A.

Although she lived a long distance from town for some time, this did not prevent her from taking an active part in the Girls’ Softball Team, doing very fine playing too. A. A.; Economics Club; Home Economics Club. NAPOLEON BEAULIEU “Nappy” often has Mr. Conary’s disciples won- dering as to whether or not he omitted the chapter on “Accelerated Motion and Momentum,” but appar- ently his love of celerity will lead him to Indianapolis in the near future. Seriously, however, we all have enjoyed exceedingly his accordion and his cafeteria corner causerie. A. A.; Glee Club; Science Club; Pageant; Horace Mann Play. MARION BENISCHEK “Bem y” is the tall, slim girl whose ambition is to become a teacher of Domestic Arts. Her after- noon work has prevented her from entering many activities. However, “Benny” is persevering and will, we think, make something of ' herself. She has recently been initiated into the duties of nurse- maid by the advent of a baby sister. Commercial Club; A. A. JESSIE CAMPBELL “Jay” will always be remembered as the chair- man of all our committees as well as our class actress and most popular girl. Although we have her with us during the week, Marblehead claims all her weekends. It is rumored that “Hildy” is the big attraction; nevertheless, she has time to devote some attention in the general direction of Hyannis. “Jay” hasn’t decided yet just what she would like to do in the way of a career but whatever it is, we’re sure she’ll be a success. A. A.; Vice-President of Class ’37; President of Glee Club; Latin Club; Vice-Presi- dent of French Club; Senior Play; Tiger Staff; Horace Mann Play. 46 ROBERT CLAPP “Stackey” is an active member in practically every organization existing in school. He played the leading man in the Senior Play, a part which he acted as well as his role was long, and was an im- portant player on both the football and basketball squads. His flame burns “Red.” His smile is allur- ing to all and has become such a part of him that we can’t picture him with a sober countenance. Vice-President of A.

MILDRED CONANT “Mill” won the title of class “vamp,” and there is no doubt but that she deserves it. “Gentlemen Prefer Blonds” so the saying goes, and it seems t.i be true in this case at least. Although it’s a long way back to Linebrook, “Mill” manages to get around and takes part in many of the school activi- ties. A. A.; Secretary of Glee Club; Commercial Club; Cheer Leader. PETER COSTOPOULOS Just about everything that has been said of “Pro” Pojasek, we can say about “Pete” — clammer, firemen’s aspirations, and quietness. But why shouldn’t they be alike? — They’re great friends. Ar the Variety Show, “Pete” astounded us with his “Park Avenue Hillbillies.” A. A.; Freshman Nu- merals; S. Club; S. Club Vigilance Committee; In- dustrial Arts Club. DOROTHY DUPRAY “Dot” is one of the quiet members of our class. However, her sweet smile makes up for her lack oi volubility. “Dot” may always be found with her inseparable chum Althea or in the “Type” room doing “Cub” work. It is rumored that “Dot” has a freshman interest. Is this true “Dot”? Cub and Tiger Staffs; A. A.; Commercial Club; Giris’ Basket- ball; Glee Club ’34. 47 ELSA EMMONS “Chuck” is the tomboy of our class. She hails from Rowley and manages to keep us in the dark concerning her activities there. However, we’ve been told that Elsa spends much of her time bicycling. We might also add that Elsa has several masculine interests in her life which keep her spare time occupied. A. A.; Commercial Club; Home Economic Club ’34; Glee Club ’34; Economics Club. RUTH EUSTACE “Ruthie,” as her friends call her, seems to be most interested in Domestic Science for we often find her describing some garment she’s just made, and she usually spends her spare periods sewing. “Ruthie” is plump and jolly and intends to be a Domestic Science teacher, and to prove her ability in this field she won second prize in a State Con- test for dressmaking. A. A. ; Economics Club ; Sec- retary of Home Economics Club ’35. LORRAINE FLEWEL LING “Flewy,” with her irresistible smile, is one of our most popular girls. She has a ready laugh for all occasions and usually is the author of our best jokes. A good many of the Candy Room’s sale- depend on her perpetual humor. She says she’d like to be a social worker, but we believe “Johnny” is convincing her that she doesn’t need a career. A. A. ; Vice-President of Glee Club ; President of . Home Economics Club; “Candy Room”; Letter Girl; Cheer Leader; Tiger Staff. THELMA FOWLER Thelma is a “runner-up” for Class Saint, for she is one of our quietest girls. Nevertheless, when our great “Caps and Gowns” discussion took place, she was very much in favor of them and at times made forceful remarks to prove her point. Her rrivate life has been so secret we can only guess ns to what it may contain. Latin Club. 48 DOROTHY FULLER “Dot” is one of the few college students who has stuck to Latin for four years. She spends much of her spare time in the chemistry “lab,” for Dot has visions of being a laboratory technician. “Dot’s” long curly lashes and sparkling brown eyes are the envy of many less fortunate lassies. Latin Club; French Club; A. A.; Letter Girl; Girls’ Basketball. APHRODITE GALANIS Aphrodite, otherwise “Patsy,” is a very quiet young lady, and at the same time, popular. That is a combination not often found, but, nevertheless. Patsy has it. She was a faithful softball player. Only then did she blossom forth from her usual reservedness. “Patsy,” chosen as the best-dressed girl in our class, a title which she thoroughly de- serves, has that something which a style authority would call “chic.” A. A.; Glee Club; Treasurer of Commercial Club; Home Economics Club. WILLIAM GALANIS It looks as though “Billy” would be a business tycoon controlling the important theatres of the U. S., if he continues his affiliations with the movies. During school hours, he is one of our chief scenery “setter-uppers.” He is noted for his wit but has proved that he can be a serious-minded business man as well. Varsity Club treasurer; A. A.; Foot- ball Letterman ; Industrial Arts Club ; Tiger Staff ; Freshman Numerals; Stage Manager at various occasions. EDWARD GAUDET “Eddie” is one of our most active members, but unfortunately for the feminine sex, his beaming face and billowy red hair on t ' he summit of his seventy-seven inch frame are often hidden in the clouds. Nevertheless, he captured the center berth on the basketball team with his daring leaps to the ceiling and into the basket. Mathematically and musically inclined, his computations and harmonic concoctions have caused Miss Manzer’s and Mr. Tozer’s eyelids to fluctuate on the down beat. Treasurer of A. A. ; Glee Club ; Basketball ; Senior Play Staff; Latin and French Clubs; Class Day Part; Varsity Club; Cub and Tiger Staffs. 49 GEORGE GEORGEOPOULOS After captaining the freshman football team, the modern Jason and “Strand powerhouse” estab- lished himself as the leading scorer and battering- ram of the Conary elevens of ’35 and ’36. Many an enemy forward wall was shattered as his piston- legs churned the sod to hurtle his sinuosity goal- ward. One of the most popular boys in the class, “Buck,” especially in the Industrial Arts Depart- ment and as an able stage-hand, has been most valuable to the school and to the class. Football; Treasurer of Shop Club; Vice-President of Varsity Club; A. A.; Tiger Staff; Stage Manager; Science Club. THERESA DE GRANDPRE “Toss” with her mischievous smile hides a seri- ous heart, for she is really a studious girl. This is proved by her yearly receipt of honor awards, also by the fact that she has a graduation essay. “Tess” is popular with all her classmates, for whenever there is work to be done, she is a willing assistant. We seldom see her outside of school because she is one of the Linebrook Rord Commuters. A. A.: Vice-President of Commercial Club; Secretary of Class ’35, ’36, ' 37; Graduation Essay; Senior Play Staff; Vice-President of Home Economics Club ’35. ELIZABETH HALE “Betty” joined us in our sophomore year. Her dimples and infectious laugh have made her a pleas- ant addition to the class. Basketball seems to be “Betty’s” weakness, and she is willing to discuss it at all times. Perhaps that is the reason t e girls chose her for the captain of the basketball team. Commercial Club ; A. A. ; Letter Girl ; Captain of Girls’ Basketball Team. RICHARD HAYMAN Although “Dick” never says very much in school, he is famous for his occasional bursts of dry humor. He engages in swimming and skating quite extensively. His forensic ability in economics has so enthralled the judges that they have always unanimously agreed in his favor. A. A. ; Glee Club ; Latin Club. 50 DONALD HAZEN m ■ “Donald Duck” is quite gifted in the field of art. We perceive that the artistic temperament carries over into his dress; e.g. pink shirt, yellow socks, and green tie. His curly hair is the envy of many of his masculine classmates, but his whole appearance seems to have caught the eye of Miss Worthley with whom he is carrying on a notable romance. S. Club; A. A.; Varsity Club; Glee Club; Basketball; Class Day Part. ALTHEA HEBB Althea, a studious member of our class, may usually be depended on to have her lessons com- plete, and as a reward Althea’s name may be found on the quarterly honor roll regularly. Althea is one of the girls who aspires to be a secretary. We think she will do very well in this field. Secretary Commercial Club; Glee Club ’34; Senior Play; Cub and Tiger Staffs; A. A. X RICHARD HORTON “Dick” is class president, actor, pessimist, and the one most likely to succeed. His steady guidance and natural leadership at the helm of the class, his smashing editorials as editor-in-chief of both the Cub and Tiger Staffs, his marvelous acting on the stage, together with his grand personality and silvery voice, have made him worthy of all the honors which the class and school have bestowed upon him. Room 202 has provided “Pix” with great attractions, however, only to widen his varied curriculum in which physics and mathematics nearly proved his downfall. Class President; President of the French Club; Double Quartet; Editor-in-Chief of Cub and Tiger Staffs; Graduation Essay; Horace Mann Play; A. A. CLAUDENE HOWARD “Red” must surely be possessed of a merry dis- position, for she and her pal “Mill” can always find something to giggle at. “Red” is also one of the best dancers in the class and spends a great deal of time dancing with “Bob.” In fact she and “Bob” take up so much of each other’s time that they won the title of “Class Lovers.” A. A. ; Treasurer of Glee Club; Dance Orchestra; Vice-President of Domestic Science Club; Commercial Club. 51 CONSTANCE HOWARD “Connie” is one half of our red-haired twins who came to our class in their sophomore year. Since then most of our time has been spent in trying to tell them apart. “Connie” has lately been going in for Art in a big way, and we’re expecting good results. As it wouldn’t do to make no mention of “T,” w ' e had better add that he is at present another big interest in her life. A. A.; Glee Club; Commercial Club. GORDON HULBERT “Gordy” is our class night-hawk and a con- firmed dancer. He can’t seem to understand that the classroom is not another place in which to sleep. However, he apparently aw r akens enough during the afternoon to play a good game of baseball. We shall always remember his clever impersonation of Charlie Chaplin at a costume ball in old Manning. A. A. ; Glee Club ; Baseball. MARJORIE HULL “Marge” is another one of our class members who has joined the Art Class, and her results make us believe that Art will become more than just a hobby to her. Tennis, however, rates very close to Art as her favorite pastime. She’s an excellent player too. Two years ago she succeeded in win- ning the girls’ championship in the school tennis tournament and a year ago won the Junior Woman’s Singles Championship. Glee Club ; Secretary of Domestic Science Club ’35. ALICE KARCHONAS “Karchy” is a very lively young lady who adds zest to any argument. Although she took the nega- tive in the “Caps and Gowns” discussion, we must admit she made a firm stand. Softball and basket- ball both had their attractions for “Karchy,” and she certainly did her share to win. A. A. ; Commer- cial Club ; Economics Club. 52 ALICE KUCONIS In case you’re wondering, Alice is the girl who is always merrily smiling or else giggling with “Ruthie.” We never hear any harsh words or catty remarks from Alice, and maybe that’s why she’s so well-liked. Alice’s famous romance with “Mose” is very stormy now and then, but the difficulties are always ironed out successfully, and the sun comes shining through. A. A. ; Glee Club ; Commer- cial Club. SAMUEL LOMBARD JR. “Sambard” is our class artist, treasurer, and a facetious fascicle who makes the most of his school life! His merry antics were a real factor in the Senior Play’s success, and from every indication that last curtain evidently hasn’t dropped yet. He showed the way also for the Physics class, and need- less to say, his scholastic and social record speaks for itself. A. A. ; Senior Play; Cub and Tiger Staffs; Latin Club; Glee Club; Class Treasurer; Basketball; Varsity; Pageant; Class Day Part. URSULA LOMBARD “Ursula, otherwise known as “Peaches,” is fa- mous throughout the school for her oratorical abil- ity, which ability held her in good stead when she played the part of “Grandma” in the Senior Play so convincingly. Although Ursula lives a good dis- tance from town, she was always on the job at Senior Play rehearsals, and even now, we often find her spending her afternoons helping “Dick” put out the Cub. Outside of school she seems to be trying to divide her affections between Marblehead and Danvers. A. A.; Glee Club 4 years; Secretary of Class ’34 ; Latin Club ; French Club ; Secretary of Cub; Tiger Staff; Senior Play; Letter Girl; Class Day Part; Horace Mann Play. VICTORIA MACHAJ “Vicky” had a family reputation to uphold and after four years of hard work she gained the goal for which she was striving — to graduate with honors. No one seemed surprised but herself when she received an Honor Essay. Although she is more often seen than heard, she has a personality one could not soon forget. The class of ’38 is very proud of one of its prize students. A. A. ; Home Economics Club ; Glee Club ’35 ; Letter Girl ; Grad- uation Essay. 53 RITA MacKINNON Rita apparently is a quiet business-like girl, but she and her chum Eleanor seem to find time to cut a caper down in Room 1. From the looks of the ring on Rita’s left hand she won’t be “Miss” Mac- Kinnon very long. Rita’s life is a happy one except when she is dieting. She hasn’t been successful as yet. Never mind, Rita, keep on trying. Glee Club 4 years ; A. A. ; Commercial Club ; Economics Club ; Home Economics Club 4 years. VIRGINIA MALLARD “Ginny” is one of the quiet members of our class, as quiet as the proverbial mouse. In fact she deserves the unofficial title of Class Saint. Never- theless, she does not lack a keen sense of humor and eniovs a good laugh as well as the rest of us. “Gnny” likes to dance, and once a week you will find her dutifully taking her lessons. A. A. ; Latin Club; French Club. JULIA MARKOS Julia is not only one of the shortest girls in our clrss. but also one of the merriest, and she and her friend Aphrodite make a good combination. Julia was another member of the softball team, attending all the games with faithful regularity. We don’t know much about Julia’s life outside of school, but with such a lively one in school it must be inter- esting. A. A. ; Commercial Club ; Home Economics Club. NICK MARKOS Because “Benny” is such an industrious worker, he has served as shop foreman for the past year. Among other things, he built a hope chest about which he refuses to say anything, although its use has evoked a great many jokes. On the field of athletics he has done well, having served as captain of the football team during 1937. We understand that he, too, pursues the “succulent bivalve,” an occupation in which his athletic prowess contrib- utes to his suc cess. A. A.; Varsity Club; Vice-Presi- dent S.

What with her Rowley in- terest and the Snow Carnival, “Betty’s” time has been pretty w’ell taken up. “Betty” has taken a great deal of “razzing” from Mr. Conary because of “Ted,” but she is good natured about it. “Win- nie” and “Betty” have formed one of those friend- ships which make high school days so pleasant. A. A.; Glee Club; French Club. MARY MAVROIDES Mary can always be found with her friends “Patsy” and Julia. They form an inseparable trio, finding much in life to be amused at as is evident by their shrieks of laughter in “Cafeteria.” Mary, though very small, manages to make herself heard when she desires. This is usually when someone calls her “Shorty” or “Shrimp,” nicknames which Mary abominates. Commercial Club; A. A.; Home Economics Club. VIRGINIA McGLEW “Gin,” with her friendly disposition and winning anile, is one of our best-liked girls. She is always on the job when we have work to do, and we have come to rely upon her good judgment. “Gin” also played an important part in the girls’ basketball games and was a big reason why we triumphed in the majority of our encounters with the junior and sophomore girls. As president of the Commercial Club she has headed many of the gay parties for which the club is famous. A. A. ; President of Com- mercial Club ; Letter Girl ; Girls’ Basketball ; Class y Day Part. ALDEN MOSHER “Mose,” who also answers to any color of the spectrum, wins the title of class playboy by a d.p.m. (date per month), which somewhat contradicts his subterranean ambitions. Although Alice occupies a good portion of his valuable time, “Blue” man- aged to play ride-trumpet for Mr. Tozer and keep the Senior Play cast in a good mood while he played his role to perfection. A. A. ; Band ; Orchestra ; Glee Club; Senior Play. 55 ROBERT MULLEN “Mull” is our class musician, and well he de- serves the title, for he plays a sousaphone in the band, and the bass viol in the concert orchestra. Dancing is one of his favorite pastimes. Among other notable achievements he is probably the worst speller in the class. In economics he is a notable debater, having solved, in a few minutes, many of the major problems which confront the present civilizat ion. A. A. ; Shop Club ; Freshman Numerals ; Band ; Glee Club ; Dance and Concert Orchestras. JAMES NIKAS Despite his old age, our grandfather derives his electrostatic nickname from his athletic feats on the gridiron and diamond. A twisting piece of shrapnel in the backfield, and one of the most sen- sational centerfielders that has ever cavorted for Coach Burke, our gift to the Red Raiders sported the first tonsure since the dark ages of Ipswich. “Sparks” is very well liked, and a tremendous a°set to the Shop. Football and Baseball; A. A.; Varsity Club; Shop Club; Stage Manager. ELEANOR O’MALLEY Eleanor belongs to the family of the “dancing O’Malleys,” and at almost every social or dance “El” can be found on the floor exhibiting the new- est steps. Eleanor doesn’t go in very much for sports, but she is willing and anxious to help on all committees that we might have. She is quite defi- nite as to what she will do in the future, and we believe next year will see her entering the field of nursing. A A.; Glee Club; Commercial Club; Economics Club; Home Economics Club. WINIFRED PALLADINO “W r innie” and “Betty” have become more or less a team. When “Betty” was running for Carnival Queen, “Winnie” acted as manager and did a good iob too. She took an active part in all our class meetings and didn’t hesitate to give her opinion of our actions. She can be recognized any- where by her giggle. It certainly is original. A.

He almost never appears in school on Fridays being busy then as well as during every spare moment as a pin boy in the bowling alleys. He is in his right element when he takes economics with Mosher as his only competitor in a class of girls. A. A. ; Sophomore Class Treas- urer. THEODORE POJASEK Although “Pro” is a very quiet fellow at school, he is altogether different, we hear, when he is free to go where he pleases. We believe that he ' has an innate desire to be a fireman and is practicing for the job daily as he whizzes by on his bicycle with the siren screeching. In his spare moments he is a clammer. In our estimation, he and his friend, “Pete,” would hold tie places for the title of “woman-hater” if we had one. A. A. RALPH RECINE “Rastus” is a tall rugged lad who claims t ' ne boxing title of Ipswich High School. A letterman and smashing tackle on the football team, “Rastus” is a true lover of the game, but the new age limit put him on the sidelines this past year, where evi- dently he used his time effectively to be the runner- up for the masculine half of the class lovers. Another valuable stagehand and a real swell fellow! Varsity Club; Glee Club; Shop Club; Football; A. A. CHARLES SOFFRONAS Quiet and unobtrusive, “C. J.” emerged from obscurity in his senior year and became the only member of his class to win recognition in all three varsity sports in Ipswich High School. Considering his size, weight, and age, ' his record is only the more remarkable ; and by continuing his great work and leadership at Shop, he has become one of our most popular and respected members.

Perhaps that’s one of the reasons why the senior girls won the series. A. A.; Glee Club ’34; Commercial Club; Economics Club; Letter Girl. MARJORIE SHEPPARD “Marge” is one of our athletes and an ardent leader in sports for girls. She is never very far from “Pussy” and together they form a fine example of real friendship. In school “Marge” is rather quiet but at her beloved sports she is very often the reverse. A. A. ; Letter Girl ; Commercial Club ; Economics Club. DAVID SMITH “Dave” seems to be “a centipede for putting his feet into things.” Witness the long list of activities and responsibilities below. He always has a fascinated group about him listening to his mar- velous exaggerations. Then, too, his life has not been without romance. He spends much time on the tennis courts and did himself proud as an outstanding member of the basketball squad and as captain of the baseball team. However, despite all his other activities, he has proved himself a pretty good student; so next year he will attend Dart- mouth. President A.

PAULINE SMITH “Polly” is the happy-go-lucky type. She always has a smile, and her laughter at Dave’s quips may be heard ringing through Study Hall. “Polly” is another of these quiet(?) Rowley girls. The fact that “Polly” and “Dave” have similar surnames might have caused much controversy as to whether they were related if the name in question had been any one but “Smith.” Girls’ Basketball; A. A.; Secretary of French Club; Latin Club. 58 RUTH STONE “Ruthie” will always be remembered for the odd little laugh which she possesses and her un- limited supply of jokes. Senior Play rehearsals would certainly have been very dull without her. “Ruthie” has taken part in almost every school activity, and Commercial Club parties just wouldn’t have seemed the same if she hadn’t donated some of her famous sandwiches. A. A. ; Commercial Club; Senior Play. JACQUELINE TREMBLAY If ever you have seen a girl with waving, red hair and freckles on the sidelines at a football game shouting for all she’s worth — that’s “Jackie.” For three years now “Jackie” has been a cheer- leader and she certainly never has any trouble in making herself heard. She is bubbling over with enthusiasm and “school spirit” and plays a leading part in the arguments at our class meetings. A. A. ; Glee Club 4 years; Secretary of Home Economics Club ’37 ; Cheer Leader. BARBARA WAITE “Babs” is a very popular girl in our class, and that popularity is not limited to the fairer sex alone. “Babs” headed most of our girls’ sport committees, and went to a lot of trouble to start softball among the girls. Besides playing on the softball team, she was a member of the basketball team as well and is to be commended for the ex- cellent way in which she played her guard position. Her work in athletics has won for her the title of “Girl Athlete.” A.

PRISCILLA WORTHLEY “Pussy” hails from Rowley, but a great deal of her time, lately, has been spent in Ipswich. She says it’s orchestra rehearsal, but we were under the impression that the orchestra practiced only one day a week ! “Pussy’s” laugh has put her in many a tight “spot” in class ; however, the smile that follows it always smooths things over. We hope it smooths things over when she comes in late from a date with “Don.” Glee Club 4 years; Commercial Club ; Concert Orchestra ; A.

FOOTBALL CONFRONTED with the tremen- dous task of rebuilding a team which graduation and the new Massachusetts A. A. age limit had shattered, Coach Conary was forced to field the lightest and greenest team of his regime as the 1937 edi- tion of the Ipswich High School foot- ball team. With only Captain Mar- kos, Gibbs, and Clapp, remaining from the eighteen lettermen who rep- resented the last great Manning team, the basic fundamentals of the game had to be hammered into a squad which averaged one hundred 62 BASKETBALL and forty-five pounds. Despite their rather poor record of two wins, two ties, and four defeats, the fight and team-spirit of these boys even in failure and their great physical con- dition throughout the season are fine tributes to them as well as to their coach. The season opened with a thrilling 7-7 tie with Boston Farm and Trade, and a week later the first de- feat was sustained in the battle with Portsmouth, 13 - 6. On October 2, a fast red horde from Reading ran roughshod over the Tigers for the count of 25 - 6. Then on October 9, a bombshell burst over the stadium as Ipswich startled the football world with an amazing 14-7 victory over the blue devils from Danvers. The cheers were short-lived, however, as Punchard smothered Ipswich 39-0 in an avalanche of touchdowns at Andover. History repeated itself in the form of a blinding rainstorm as Brewer swished to a scoreless tie in a sloppy fracas. After an open date, Johnson twisted the orange and black, 24-0 in a questionable battle at North Andover. Then on Novem- ber 11, the Tiger ran mad through Hamilton, and our neighbors were nullified 13 - 0. The final game with Amesbury was washed out after three days of heavy rain. When the season ended, only four seniors were on the squad: Captain Nicholas Markos, William Galanis, Charles Soffronas, and Robert S. Clapp. A FTER a six year lapse in basket- ball because the only available court was discontinued, Coach Con- ary received some fifty-five hoop as- pirants in late November,. 1937. Throughout the next month the squad was slowly moulded as the funda- mentals and fine points of the new version of basketball were drilled in- to the boys ; and as the season opened, Coach Conary had selected twenty boys to represent the varsity basket- ball team. Since their inexperience and lack of height was a tremendous handicap, the record of six wins and four defeats with fast competition is remarkable. Only five seniors were represented on the team and each alternated as the leader in competi- tion. After crushing the Rowley Royals 35-9 in a practice scrimmage, Ips- wich confidently defeated a tall Merrimac team, 41-9 to give the school her first interscholastic vic- tory. Essex Aggie fell next in a thrilling 17 - 15 battle in which the verdict was decided in the closing minutes. The Governor Dummer Seconds were smothered easily as the “leather-bobblers” won their third consecutive victory, 31 - 15. A cham- pionship Rockport five which reached the semi-finals in the county tourna- ment dropped the Tiger 28 - 14 for the first defeat, but Hamilton soon BASKETBALL TEAM Back row, left to right: Frank Williams, assistant manager; Frank Leoz, Donald Hazen, manager; Michael Pappas, Stephen Budzionowski, Robert Conary, coach. Front row, left to right: Andrew Alexopoulos, Samuel Lombard, David Smith, Edward Gaudet, Robert Clapp, Charles Soffronas, Joseph Jadul fell 32 - 20 in the wildest and rough- est game of the season at Hamilton. At Danvers, Essex Aggie took ad- vantage of their band-box gymna- sium and reinforcements to capital- ize 28 - 17. After dropping a tight decision to Newburyport 27 - 23, Ips- wich defeated Governor Dummer again 25 - 18, and crushed Hamilton 41 - 14. Then the season was closed with a hectic 46 - 29 defeat in Rock- port.

With but two veterans returning in the spring. Coach Burke was forced to mold his nine from the lower classes of the school, and his championship first team consisted of four juniors, two sophomores, two fresh- men, and two seniors. After losing two of the three game series with Hyannis the Ipswich Tigers won eleven out of their twelve intercholastic games, losing only to Manchester at Manchester This defeat snapped a seven game winning streak which had broken the school rec- ord and was later avenged at Ipswich. The team broke the rockport jinx and amassed 95 runs to the opponents’ 36. The first squad was David Smith, Captain; Joseph Jadul, Andrew Alexop oulos, Russell Wile, Walter Jadul, Don- ald Perkins, Joseph Robishaw, Michael Pappas, Francis Martel, Charles Soffro- nas, Peter Stamatakos, Vernon Cooke, Walter Machaj, Stanley Los, Delbert Matheson, Sttanley Koch, Herbert Mac- Kinney, Manager; and Peter Bokron, Assistant Manager.

Each of the four classes in school elected a queen to compete for the title, “Queen of the I.H.S. Snow Carnival.” Tickets were sold at five cents each, and each ticket counted as a vote for the candidate who made the sale. Before the day of the crown- ing, various races were held on skiis skates, etc., and each entry was re- quested to have a ticket. In this way, and with the school and town popu- lation doing its part, the number of tickets sold ran well past the thou- sand mark. Finally on the day decided upon, the crowning was held in the high school auditorium, followed by a dance. The four candidates for the title were Elizabeth Martel, Senior; Elinor Strangman, Junior; Theresa Martel, Sophomore; Rosamond Wei- land, Freshman. The candidate se- lected as queen of the school was Elinor Strangman. The crowning itself, as written, staged, and directed by Mr. Harry Merson, was a colorful affair, with Robert Clapp, President of the Varsity Club, as King, and with several other boys as members of the King’s Court. After the crowning and the awarding of gifts by the Queen, a costume dance was held, and prizes were given to those wearing the best and most original costumes. The whole affair, which was en- joyable as well as interesting, was a very successful means of earning money with which the Varsity Club was enabled to pay the doctors’ bills of injured football players. The Senior Play CAN April 30, 1938, the Senior Class presented “The Gipsy Trail,” a three-act comedy by Robert Housum. The comedy, its humor subtle rather than hilarious, concerns the love af- fair of Frances Raymond, a conserva- tive but homesick-for-love young lady, played by Jessie Campbell, who is about to marry staid, conventional Ned Andrews, played by David Smith, when Robert Clapp as Michael Rudder, a romantic vagabond, ap- pears on the scene. After many in- triguing events, in one of which Frances is even kidnapped, Michael decides that for Frances’s love, he can even give up his vagabond life and become a conventional member of society, and poor Ned is left “out in the cold.” The play was exceptionally well done, and was received by a very ap- preciative audience. Ursula Lom- bard was delightful as Mrs. Widde- more, Ned’s grandmother; and Ruth 66 SENIOR PLAY CAST Back row, left to right: Samuel Lombard, Robert Clapp, Edward Gaudet, Richard Horton, David Smith, Alden Mosher Front row, left to right: Ursula Lombard, Ruth Stone, Jessie Campbell, Margaret Allen, director; Theresa de Grandpre, Althea Hebb. Stone was the sympathetic, match- making Aunt Janet Raymond. Rich- ard Horton as Frank Raymond was the perfect business man, and Sam- uel Lombard as Johnny, the “kid brother,” was almost too good to be true. Ellen, played by Althea Hebb, was a typical old nurse, and Alden Mosher as Stiles the butler, finally succeeded in maintaining a dignified appearance Although a great deal of time was spent in rehearsing and learning parts, everyone taking part enjoyed himself. Lombard was always on hand to entertain members of the cast with his clowning, and even Miss Allen and Miss Blodgett urfwillingly succumbed to mirth several times. We are indeed grateful to Miss Allen who coached the play, and to Miss Blodgett who assisted her. With 67 their understanding and inspiration they contributed a great deal to the success of the play. We are also in- debted to Mr. Merson, who super- vised the staging and lighting; and to Mrs. Cruikshank, who made up the cast. There are many others who deserve praise for their work. Among them are Theresa de Grand- pre, Business Manager; Edward Gaudet, Property Manager ; and Benjamin Markos, Ralph Recine, and Charles Soffronas, Stage Man- agers. And now, although our Senior Play is over and done with and for- gotten by many, to others of us, es- pecially those who took part in it, it will always live in memory as one of the unforgettable events of our senior year. Exhibition of Music f N Thursday evening, April 28. a music demonstration was held in the Treadwell Auditorium by Mr. Arthur Harold Tozer, the music di- rector of the Ipswich schools. Mr. Tozer very ably demonstrated, with the use of various lower and higher grades, the musical development of a child from the time he enters the first grade of school until he gradu- ates from high school. The latter part of the program was devoted en- tirely to selections from the Glee Clubs of the Senior High School and the concert orchestra and band. The demonstration was very well attended and turned out to be a completely en- joyable, as well as an interesting, affair.
