We approach this portal as many classes have approached it before us, and we stand on the brink of the future as they have done. Be- fore setting forth into the new ter- ritory, it is fitting that v e pause momentarily to sharpen our mem- ories. In retrospect, we recall the jum- ble of our first year and one-half in crowded quarters at the Manning School, the endless stairs — step after step — leading up into our home room on the third floor, our rather wild-eyed, untamed ranks as we scrambled from one event to the next. We shall never forget our epoch-making march from Central Street to Green Street, launching a new era in our progress. We can- not be insensible to the advantacres that we have enjoyed since our change of domicile. The increased opportunity for social life and the er tension of athletic facilities have been appreciated by us. We only regret that we are no lonf -er privil- eged to enjoy these pleasures in these particular sui roimdings among the congenial companions and friends which have meant so much to us. We feel or hope that as we have advanced through high school years, we have attained some degree of calmness and maturity. Our high school days will be glad memories for us. With a jolt, however, v c are brought back to the present and suddenly realize that we stand on the brink of the unknown — the future. Unfamiliar fields lie before the gatev ay. Our outlook is not encouraging, and we cannot say Tvith Browning that “AlTs right with the world.’’ On the other hand, we muld not, with Shelley, “Wail for the world’s wrong.’’ True, the pro- verbial depression lingers, but it m- v be some encouragement for us to consider that conditions can- not grow worse, and they may grow ’ etter. We shall stand and test our footing in the new world that lies nhead vdth the firmest determina- tion to carry on and not to falter by t m gateway. 16 Literary rpHE “ Tiger” Staff takes pleasure in printing for its Literary sec- tion, the following poems written by the class poet, Barbara Knowles. These poems have ap- peared previously in the “Cub” and are among the best which have been submitted during the year. NORTHERN LIGHTS Arc lights of the Arctic, Flaring into the midnight sky. Turned on and off by invisible hands ; Making pale by comparison. The countless windows of Heaven, Yours is an important light For you announce the premiere of the hoary winter star. A MISPLACED IDOL My little pagan paper weight. An ancient of the east. You should be in a temple Surrounded by a feast. An ancient Chinese temple, With incense, bells, and gongs. With candles all around you And haunting, chanting songs. You ought to be in robes of silk The ancient priests have made. You ought to breathe the incense Your people burn for you. Hazy, sweet, and heavy clouds With candles flickering through. But, my little Chinese idol. You’re on a foreign sod; Now you’re just a paper weight. Not a petted, pampered god. MARCH SPRING CLEANING The angels up in Heaven, Must be cleaning house again. For they’re shaking out their pil- lows In a steady flowing train. I haven’t any doubt but that They must be awfully neat And keep the streets of Heaven Verv clean and sweet. They begin about December To shake their pillows out. There are a dreadful lot of them I haven’t any doubt. For it takes them through the month of March, To finish up the work. It couldn’t be that they are slow For angels never shirk. 17 RAIN Hear the rain drops on the roof; Dripping, dripping, dripping. Dripping, dropping, drizzling. Drenching the parched, dry roof. Driving in a down pour From the drab dull sky. Drumming, drumming, drumming. On the dank, dark roof. Dripping, dripping, dropping Down the drab, dull drain. Droning on the roof top. Driving, drizzling rain. Dwindling, dwindling, dv.dndling. Diminishing, drop — drop — drop. Dropping in a drizzle. On the drab roof top. HALLOWE’EN The eerie wind, the cloud-swept sky Over the trees, where the witches fly To keep their annual rendez-vous. If you watch close, you can see them, too. Holding their cats that howl and wail, As past the face of the moon they sail. And the townsfolk lock their win- dows and doors. While the v histling wind down the chimney soars. For every one knows that ghosts are seen On the dark, weird night of Hal- lowe’en. Graduation Essays American Progress in World’s Fairs by Alma O’Brien T he first world’s fair in Amer- ica was held in New York in 1853. It v as an almost exact rep- lica of the London Crystal Palace Exposition of two years before which was still attracting huge crowds. America discovered, how- ever, that it didn’t pay to copy or to celebrate European anniversar- ies, for the Crystal Palace was not the whaling success that it was predicted it would be. This fair was very different from the ones u’th which we are familiar. The exhibitions were all housed in one hup-e iron and glass building, but the roof, which ' as to have been the crowning glory of the fair, leaked in rain storms. We are in- 18 dined to laugh at the barbarism of the first World’s Fair, for in the 1850’s America was just beginning to settle down to be a refined and cultured nation. Slavery was still existent, and New York was just discovering how corrupt its police and politicians were and, in com- parison with Boston and Philadel- phia, how unrefined its mann ers were. This was an age of rapid development in machinery, the Mc- Cormick reaper and the first steam locomotive having been invented a decade before. It was also an age of social reform : the suffrage was enlarged ; reforms took place in prisons, asylums, and schools ; and societies for the encouragement of temperance and the abolition of slavery were coming into popular favor. An interesting fact to note in passing is that the young men at Harvard were now playing foot- ball in top hats. As a result of its amazing progress, America v as eager for a fair to show the world her great achievements and to out- do old Mother England. However, “The Iliad of the Nine- teenth Century,’’ as the Crystal Pal- ace was often termed, did not prove as successful as the people had hoped, and even P. T. Barnum with his unusual gift of enticing the public could not awaken an inter- est in it. — It may have been the leaky roof. In 1876, the one hundredth an- niversary of the Declaration of In- dependence, we find America seek- ing a fitting celebration for this memorable occasion. Philadelphia was the chosen city because here the Declaration of Independence had been signed, and here the Liberty Bell had rung. The Cen- tennial Exposition, unlike our first fair, was a marked success. Slav- ery had been abolished and the country was in the midst of a new industrial age. People gazed in awe at the sewing machines, the telephone, an instrument by which one could hear another person talk- ing way down in the next block, a continuous web-printing press, the self-binding reaper, the Westing- house airbrake, the refrigerator c r. the typewriter, and Edison’s dunlex telegraph. Little can we, who consider these things necessi- ties, realize how the people of 1876 looked upon these inventions. There was also a v oman’s plat- form at this exposition. Women were just beginning to assert them- selves. but their equality was not generally assured until the cloce of the centurv. The v orld still be- lieved that the woman’s place was in the home, and although about fifteen percent of the ladies were engaged in gainful occupations b ' ' 19 1870, their wages were lower than men’s, they were not admittetd to trade unions, and they were regard- ed as intruders by all men. Transportation to this exposi- tion was aided by the new steam locomotive. Only those who pos- sessed strong constitutions and were not of timorous natui-e, how- ever, dared to ride on them, al- though they had been greatly im- proved since their advent in 1830. The Chicago Columbian Exposi- tion which was held in 1893 was a booming success financially. About this time there was a great western land boom, and out of our still sparsely settled frontier rose great cities and new states. Good times, after the panic of the 1870’s, created a class of “nouveau riche” ; and this class speculated widely in land, railroads, and build- ing projects. This was the period of the gay nineties, and the Colum- bian Exposition truly depicted the spirit of the age. The architec- ture was pompous and almost gro- tesque. Strangely enough, it was widely copied by the whole coun- try. The ladies with their padded figures and false curls gazed with wonder and admiration at the rows of electric light bulbs, a house run entirely by electricity, but still primitive when compared with the electrically equipped home of to- day. A very popular phonograph, the Pullman Train, the linotype. the expansion engine, and artificial ice also brought forth awe-stricken gasps. The ferris wheel, however, stole the show, and many an im- portant lecture and exhibit was ne- glected for a ride on this fright- ful contraption. This fair is said to have created a false impression of prosperity, and many people, after having visited the fair, specu- lated wildly and lost their fortunes in building projects. The western farmer and the eastern factory worker fought hard battles at the elections to gain their just de- mands, and the age became more advanced socially. The Louisiana Purchase Exposi- tion in 1904 brought that miracle of miracles, the automobile, before our eyes. A horseless carriage ac- tually covered the distance from New York to St. Louis without a catastrophe, though the driver did look a trifle the worse for wear. Another spectacular invention was the Wright airplane which, how- ever, was rather cynically received, as it had been tested only the pre- vious year, and the automobile was hugging th.e spotlight. Then, too, very important was the wireless message sent from Cornwall, Eng- land, to Cape Cod. We were feel- ing very important about this time, for we had just emerged from the Spanish War and could now boast an outside colony which was, inci- dentally, aiding our prosperity. 20 The country felt, and to a certain extent, acted like the fellow with his first long pants. We were the leaders in diplomatic relations among European countries, we were gaining new possessions, and business at home was triumphant and prosperous. The Panama Pacific Exposition in 1915 celebrated the opening of the Panama Canal. The construc- tion of the canal was one of the most spectacular feats in the his- tory of the United States. Thanks to the persistent efforts of scien- tists and doctors, a death trap was transformed into a highly livable area, and that section now is near- ly as healthful to live in as our own. Furthermore, the quicksands, a hitherto unconquerable obstacle, were conquered by steel locks. This canal, moreover, cut from six to eight thousand miles from the voy- age of freighters. This short route was particularly favorable to us because of our newly acquired pos- sessions in the Pacific. At this time we became very much interested in land projects. Conservation of forests, irrigation of arid areas, and improving of waterways were major issues of the day. It was not until then that we realized that the resources of nature could be exhausted, and that we must do something to conserve her energies. Woman’s suffrage again came in- to the limelight. No doubt the la- dies proved their worth on the platforms at the fair, for in 1919 the vote was granted to them. Much was done to prevent fraud in politics, and the vote was placed more directly in the hands of the people. Fairs were interrupted for a time by the World War and the period of reconstruction that inevi- tably follows. However, in 1933, Chicago took the lead and planned a fair to celebrate her hundredth anniversary. This was an age of science, and the Chicago Fair dis- played such novelties as prefabri- cated materials and windowless buildings with uniform lighting and air conditioning. It was a rather panicky country at this time. The crash of 1929 still haunted us (or should 1 say is haunting us yet?). Chicago, however, did her share in bringing back prosperity. Her fair succeeded financially, the city itself received millions of dollars worth of trade, and thousands of families were taken off the relief lists by the employment of laborers in the construction of the fair. Art exhibits played a dominant part at the fair and a new inter- est in both ancient and modern art was awakened. The Century of Progress Exposition truly depicted an era in which gigantic strides for 21 more modern, comfortable, and in- tellectual living had been made. Today we hail the greatest fairs of any age ; the greatest fairs which have ever taken place in America certainly. The most ex- citing and original circumstance about these two fairs is that they are held upon land that man had formerly regarded as waste land. Flushing Meadows, the site upon which New York holds her fair, was the dwelling place of rats and a dumping ground for undesirable refuse. From this land has been created perhaps one of the most beautiful spots in New York City; and after the fair is over, it will be a permanent recreation park. Treasure Island in San Francisco had no previous existence but was raised from the ocean by the me- chanical geniuses of this age and its machinery. At the expiration of this fair. Treasure Island will be an airport and a base for Trans- pacific clippers — certainly an as- set to the country. The scientific accomplishments of this age are too numerous for mention here, and we are perhaps familiar vdth most of them any- way, but certainly we should be a most indignant people if we thought that the succeeding gener- ations would be inclined to smile at our ’39 fairs as we have a tendency to do at the first leaky Crystal Pal- ace of 1853. Yet we may live long enough ourselves to think these fairs a bit old-fashioned — so rapid is the advancement and progress of this modern era. Nevertheless, I don’t think we need wonder today what keeps “Johnny so long at the fair.’’ Baseball 1839-1939 by Delbert Matheson O NE hundred years ago Martin Van Buren was President of the United States and had had only seven predecessors. Wisconsin and Minnesota as well as California and Florida had not yet been ad- mitted to the Union. The last re- maining signer of the Declaration of Independence had been laid to rest only seven years before. Texas was an independent nation. The banking system and slavery were the chief political issues, and Abra- ham Lincoln was a struggling law- yer of thirty. That was the setting when in 1839 at Cooperstown, New York, Abner Doubleday, a cadet at West Point and a fellow tov nsman, traced the pattern of the first base- ball diamond. And it is interest- to note that though the game has undergone many changes, the measurements set forth bv Double- day have always been retained. At no time during his useful life as a general in the United States 22 Army was he ever to get the rec- ognition of having originated the game with the ball and bat. That did not come until December 1907, when the commission appointed by Albert G. Spaulding made its re- port. America needed a lively sport, full of action and yet without un- necessary roughness to appeal to the spirited people of those days. Doubleday’s innovation filled the bill in every respect. It started to prosper, slowly at first, but gath- ering strength, it superseded and even survived other games of the Civil War. In fact games were often played by the soldiers be- hind the lines. At the end of the War the soldiers carried this new sport to all parts of the ever ex- panding country. When Doubleday died in 1893, he had already seen the sport spread to all sections of the United States. He was satisfied that he had devised a sport that would not only survive but would always be the most popular game in the na- tion. Naturally many of Doubleday’s suggestions were outmoded with the passing years. There have been many changes and additions to the rules, but in essence baseball is still the same game which Doub- leday originated. Gloves were not used until 1875, but perhaps the chief difference is in the position of the umpires then and now. Today the umpires have utter security of life and limb and actual authority over the game and the players. The early umpires were always in fear of their lives, a condition which does not speak very well for the sportsmanship of the players and the fans. “Gentlemen, I was unable to see the catch. In your judgment, was it fair or foul?” Picture a modern umpire appeal- ing to the bleacherites to answer tliat question. Roars of “Kill the ump!” or “Throw the bum out!” would make his future career a nightmare. Present day fans want staccato, split-second decisions from the umpires, not the meticu- lous, cautious umpiring of the 1870’s, when spectators often de- cided doubtful catches. This con- trast is typical of the tremendous development of the game during the past sixty years. Another interesting difference is the yearly salary of the ball play- ers. In the early days a very good ball player earned about $500 for a season, while during 1930 and 1931 Babe Ruth drew a salary of $80,000 a season. Baseball has spread from Amer- ica to many parts of the world. Representative American teams have traveled to foreign lands and have spread the gospel of sports- manship and fair play which the 23 game of baseball exemplifies. Out- side of America, Japan is undoubt- edly the keenest baseball country. Sixty years ago two American pro- fessors introduced the game to Jap- an. Touring American college and professional teams eventually aroused Japanese interest in base- ball. Intercollegiate games are Japan’s World Series. Nearly every country in the world has experi- mented with baseball during re- cent years. Almost every country makes its own changes, but the basis of the game remains the same. You may ask, “What is base- ball, as a national sport, doing for America?” “What deeds can it point to with unwavering finger in this, its centennial year?” To that question, the answer is that any- thing that attacks idleness in youth is a fine thing. For that reason in- stitutions of learning in every pari of the United States encourage ath- letics. Idle hands often become problems. Baseball, more than any other branch of endeavor, keeps young America busy. Experts re- port that juvenile delinqnejicy has decreased markedly as a direct re- sult of the spread of interest in the national game. It must have been a desire for further exercise out of doors that inspired Abner Doubledav one hun- dred years ago. His teachings spread like a great wave. Today, also, baseball is a sport which makes American youths strong in body and mind. An example of the results of baseball training was given during the World War when American soldiers excelled in the art of throwing hand grenades at the enemy. Baseball encourages good sports- manship among the young people of the country. It teaches them to respect the laws of the country an.d to obey them implicitlv. It does not breed hatred or contempt fo ’ the adversary but rather teache the loser to respect and congratu- late the winner. There are very few men who are not soorfsman- like who ever reach the ma ' Or leagues. And therefore these mamr league players are all excellent ex- amples of the success v hich good sportsmanship sometimes brino ' s. The companionship which the game affords is one of its greatest assets. The companionship of the players and coaches produces friendships which are of great val- ue in later life. Another quality developed by file game is that of leadership an d individual thinking. The game un doubted Iv requires more individual skill and thought than any similar form of endeavor. Each man on the team must knov liow lo play his own position almost to perfec- tion. He can very seldom depend on his manager or coach for as- 24 sistance during a game. The lead- ership which it inspires produces good men and good citizens. Al- most every great American pi-esi- dent since Lincoln has been a true lover of the game. There is a leg- end that when Lincoln was nomi- nated for President over William Seward, he received the news while playing ball on a Springfield diamond, and wouldn’t go home until he had had his innings. America and baseball teach Americans to live for their country, but in Europe the children are taught to die for their country. In European countries when a child reaches the age of seven or eight lie is handed a gun and a uniform and is taught to march, while in America a child is handed a ball and bat and told to amuse himself. The European dictators inspire hatred of their enemies in their children. Baseball on the other hand, inspires companionship with the adversary. Baseball is a potent weapon with which to combat sub- versive elements in America. And as long as Americans can show their character and spirit in the game of baseball, there is little need to fear the growth of these foreign elements in America. Baseball is a truly American sport in origin and purpose. It re- flects the true American character. Therefore, 1 believe that baseball is an American institution which has proved its value and is there- fore worthy of our support. Thomas Masaryk, a Pillar of Democracy by Jane Wilson “TT is not enough to proclaim yourself a Czech ; you must know what you have to do about it. First be the best possible kind of man yourself, then know the kind of truth the Czech tradition stands for.” “Truth will conquer.” The author of these quotations is dead — Thomas Garrigue Masaryk, the founder of the Cze- cho-Slovak Republic, a pillar of democracy. His ideals appear to have perished with him, for Octo- ber, 1938, and March, 1939, be- held great changes in his beloved Czechoslovakia. First, Masaryk’s able successor, Eduard Benes, resigned his office as Chief Executive at the time of the Munich crisis, and sought ref- uge in America. His last act be- fore leaving his country was to kneel before the simple gravestone of his predecessor. Now Benes is a visiting professor at the Univer- sity of Chicago. Since that time Czechoslovakia has ceased to exist as a nation. Po- land adopted the small Toschen 25 area, Hungary seized Carpatho- Ukraine, and Germany first split up the small nation, then gained complete control of the remaining districts, Bohemia, Moravia, and Slovakia. As a result of the shake- up at Munich, Czechoslovakia had no barriers to defend when a sec- ond crisis came. She seemed left in the lurch by other democratic nations, which had promised aid. She became a prey to Naziism, and now with her people and her gov- ernment in a state of terror, the beliefs and strivings of Masaryk seem to have been of no avail. We may ask what the ideals of Masaryk were. He was, without question, a towering pillar of de- mocracy — not in stature, not in appearance, but in sincerity and in singleness of purpose to strive for the protection of the rights of the Czech people. Throughout his life, the degradation of his Czech race and other downtrodden na- tionalities was imprinted in his mind. He had been taught while very young how his Czech race and the Slovac peoples had been inde- pendent for many years after the start of the twelfth century, and how, in the sixteenth century, Aus- tria-Hungary had first dominated them and, as the result of a reli- gious revolt, later completely sub- jected them. The tyranny of the lordly House of Hapsburg was plain to him in his earliest days. His own father was a bonded team- ster who was forced to move fre- quently from village to village on an imperial Estate near Chayko- vitz. The overbearing mien of the titled landowners irked him as much as it troubled his parents. Masaryk showed his eagerness to learn by memorizing a Latin dic- tionary from cover to cover in sev- eral weeks. He attempted always to understand other people’s points of view. When he had made up his mind on a subject, he was not afraid to state his opinions. He caused a great wave of indigna- tion in a village school v hen he expressed his belief that the earth revolved around the sun. He was rebellious at some of the restric- tions imposed upon students in the “gymnasium” or high school at Brunn. Through acquaintance with boys at the “gymnasium,” Masaryk felt a growing symnathv with the Slavic, Polish, Jevfish, and Russian races as he saw them among his comrades. While attending a Universitv in Vienna, he thought seriouslv o ' f’ en- tering the diplomatic service, but ’hen he found that occupation re- served for wealthy boys, he be- came deeply interested in philoso- phy. At this time he joined the Czech Academic Society in Vienna, of which, after two years of mem- bership, he became the President. He stimulated workers and stu- 26 dents of his race with a feeling of national pride and rights — ideals for democracy which were born in the tyranny and injustice he saw around him, and which grew as a result of wide reading and discus- sions. Along with his interest in the v elfare of his own and other na- tionalities, Masaryk always dis- played a keen sense of justice and fair dealings. Upon the occasion of the court decision against a Jewish man named Hilsner on a charge of murder, Masaryk was stirred to defend him and later caused the charge to be revoked. In innumerable instances, this lit- tle-known professor stood out for his beliefs. His stand on certain policies aroused temporary unpop- ularity with many. Fellow-coun- trymen even named their dogs “Mas- •aryk” in spite. While a professor at Prague Uni- versity, he started his political ca- reer by publishing a weekly politi- cal newspaper in 1887. As a suc- cessful candidate of the Young Czech party in 1891, he became a member of Parliament in Vienna, an office which he resigned two years later to conduct a moral ed- ucation program for the Czechs. In 1900, Masaryk’s followers formed a new Realist party and elected him to Parliament again. This time he openly disagreed with certain aggressive policies of the Empire, and he succeeded in bring- ing to light treacheries and forger- ies committed for selfish ends by Aehrenthal, the Minister of Foreign Affairs in the mighty Austria-Hun- garian Empire. Imagine what a storm that caused in official circles I With his love for his people and a keen sense of justice, Thomas Masaryk preached freedom. When Francis Ferdinand was assassinat- ed and the World War started, Czech troops were forced to enter the Austrian army, but Czechs from various other parts of the world eagerly enlisted in the Allied forces. For four months Masaryk weighed in his mind the chances of a victory for the Allies, which alone would warrant his undertak- ing to secure independence for his people. He finally decided openly to oppose the Hapsburgs and ac- tively began his campaign. Talking with a young journalist, Eduard Benes, one day, Masaryk, himself an idealist, found in this materialist a suitable leader for the “Maffia,” an organization to function in Prague to receive and send communications to him out- side of the war territory. Having escaped from Austria through Italy, he began soliciting approval and funds for the cause of inde- pendence among Czechs all over the world by pamphlets and exten- sive tours. Messages were con- veyed by him to Prague by means 27 of code messages knitted into socks. An example of the hopeful spirit of the Czechs at this time was the placard near a huge ceme- tery in Prague, saying “Rise, ye dead, the Emperor is calling his last reserves.” Soon a National Council w as established in Paris with Masaryk as President and Eduard Benes as Secretary. The preparation and campaign- ing had not been in vain ! Before the completion of the War, Czecho- slovakia was recognized as a na- tion by the Allies, a nation with an army and a diplomatic force. Soon after this, revolts and desertions by starving Austrians enabled the Czech people to take over the reins of their own government from the Hapsburgs. The Czechoslovakian Declaration of Independence was signed by Masaryk sitting in John Hancock’s chair in Independence Hall, Philadelphia. Two weeks after the formation of the new na- tion on October 28, 1918, the Na- tional Assembly was called togeth- er, and it w as Thomas G. Masaryk who was honored with the first Presidency of Czechoslovakia, a po- sition which he held until ill health forced him to resign in 1935. The responsibility of establish- ing soundly a country of people who had been under bondage for three hundred years was no easy task. He had to unify Slovaks, Ruthenians, Czechs, Jews, Poles, Germans, Gypsies, and Hungari- ans. Czechoslovakia was thorough- ly democratic in its tolerance — for there is no question but that the minorities in Czechoslovakia were better treated than anywhere else in the world — its wholesome- ness, its national pride, its progress, its government, and its peace-lov- ing motives. The character of Masaryk shines through these ten- dencies — the faith of Masaryk, a man keenly interested in philoso- phy, religious, determined, tolerant, and practical. Must we say that, because Mas- aryk is dead and Czechoslovakia is dissolved, his ideals and hopes for his country have perished ? I do not think so. These were tlie words of a Czech patriot, Comen- ius, in 1640 : “I, too, believe before God, that when the storms of wrath have passed, to thee shall return the rule over thine own affairs, O Czech people!” Benes, the second president, is confident that at some time he may return to lead his people. With- out a doubt the hope for the Czech people lies in their own hands. As they have maintained their love of freedom and justice through centuries of bondage, so they may continue and strive to perpetuate the ideals of their great leader, Masaryk, in a democracy, which can best follow his ideals of 28 vakians may confidently say with Thomas G. Masaryk that “Truth will conquer.” courage, faith, and tolerance. As a long range view of history has proved, the right is ultimately vic- torious. Therefore, the Czechoslo- Class Day Parts History of the Class of 1939 by Ralph Fraser I N the autumn of the year 1935 a most important event took place in what was then known as Man- ning High School. We, who are now seniors, formally took possession of that ancient stronghold of all fresh- men, the Study Hall. Being brave and resolute souls, we immediately held a series of class meetings which finally saw Delbert Matheson elected as our first presi- dent, Edward Marcorelle as vice- president, Joseph Hinckley as treas- urer, and Jane Wilson as secretary. Having thus chosen our officers for the year, we plunged into the heady whirligig of Manning’s high society by presenting to the outside world our candidate for the title of Queen of the Snows, Miss Frances Dorr. Although we lost the contest. we gave the winning juniors quite a battle, selling a good many tickets and co-operating with each other ir furthering our most noble cause. Our next venture into the field of society was a St. Patrick’s Day so- cial at which we proudly entertained the sophomores. Entertainment came in the form of a “Major Knows Amateur Hour” in which the Major was represented by Fred Cronin, who proved to be a benevo- lent soul in that during the whole performance he refrained from “giv- ing the gong” to the number of youthful hopefuls who played, sang, or tripoed the light fantastic. We were much pleased with the per- formance; so were the sophomores (we hope) . Our year became even more inter- esting when we learned that a brand new high school was being built fo_ us. Already we began putting on airs in preparation for becoming- sophomores in this wonderful build- ing of the near future. With such prospects in view we departed for our summer vacation, having lopped off one year of our journey through high school. The second year was a rather lethargic one for us. Class elections 29 saw our president and secretary re- turned to office, but the position o! vice-president was gained by Ann Mansfield and that of treasurer by Ralph Fraser. Our class meetings were few and far between, because, as our official record said, “There was not enough business to bj brought up“ ! One of the highlights of the year was a picnic at Sandy Point which was held in spite of cold weather and even colder water. This outmg gave some of our champion swim ming stars like Dorothy Critch and Jeanne Emerson a chance to demon- strate their swimming abilities. There were few other social af- fairs, however, because moving into and becoming acquainted with this wonderfully spacious, new building took up the greater share of our time. When we finally were settled for good, however, time passed quickly, and soon we embarked upon our summer vacation. Officers for our junior year were Delbert Matheson, president; Alon- zo Rand, vice-president; Joseph Hinckley, treasurer; and Jane Wil- son, secretary. It was in this year that we finally settled the long outstanding problem of class colors by choosing royal blue and white by a substantial vote. Following the precedent of the class of ’38, we voted to hold a “Prom.” As you may surmise, some of us were filled with the joy of an- ticipation and with visions of a de lightful dance, while others cast dn-e predictions about the outcome of any such affair. However, in spite of pessimistic predictions, our “Prom” was carried off with an air achieved only by those who, like us, have reached an age of sophistication and social accomplishment. The auditorium was draped and decked from floor to ceiling with blue and white streamers and ro- settes. It was while decorating the ceiling that “Doug” Farquhar fell from the ladder upon which he was standing, clear to the floor. Luckily he had enough presence of mind lo twist around so that he arrived feet first on the floor, receiving only a shaking-up rather than the proverb- ial broken neck. Our grand march, judging from the kind remarks of fond parents and friends in the bleachers, was indeed a credit to us. It ought to have been, if the proverb, “Practice makes perfect” is true, for we had practiced what seemed to us miles of marching. The next event was the contest for electing a new Queen of the Snows. From among the many fair lasses of ’39 we selected Elinore Strangman as our candidate. Wo then promptly proceeded to pester everyone around us to buy tickets for our candidate. It was with such perseverance and determination that we at last won the contest and saw 30 our queen crowned at an impressive ceremony on the stage of the audi- torium. Class rings, another important item of our junior year, were next brought to our attention. The class, true to the geographical tradition of our town, declared almost unani- mously for a ship’s wheel design, leaving with the individual the choice of a ring with or without a stone. Officers for the senior year were Delbert Matheson, president, elected to lead the class for the fourth suc- cessive year; Michael Pappas, vice- president; Joseph Hinckley, treas- urer; and Jane Wison, secretary, also elected for the fourth time. Our first social venture this year was a barn dance which proved to be very successful. It was so suc- cessful, in fact, that we, in conjunc- tion with the Varsity Club, soon put on another dance, this time a formal one, which proved to be an equally big success. The senior play, “Tons of Money” was performed before an enthralled and appreciative audience. The ma ' e lead was taken by Donald Perkins as Aubrey Allington, who tried to avoid paying his debts and who was the scaoegoat of the amazing ideas invented by his wife, Louise, por- trayed by Madge Davis ; Constance Canney as Aunt Benita Mullett, a rather deaf person if there ever was one but who insisted that she was not, turned in an excellent per- formance as did Ann Mansfield and Francis Nason, who portrayed par- lour maid and butler respectively ; Delbert Matheson played the part of Mr. Chesterman, a solicitor, while Jeanne Emerson as Jean Everard received the love-making of no less than three men, one of them Aubrey in disguise, the other two being Joseph Hinckley as the greatest im- poster of them all, and Douglas Farquhar as the real husband, George Maitland, while Alonzo Rand enacted to perfection the role of Giles, a gardener. The play was a tremendous suc- cess, insuring us a large profit and a thoroughly satisfied audience. Everything went off fine, even though the stage managers, George Grant and Stanley Los, at rehears- als, shot off the explosions five or ten minutes before scheduled time, scaring almost to death the mem- bers of the cast and the coaches. After the play was over, our thoughts were occupied with one burning question : Should we have caps and gowns for graduation? To settle the question, both the boys and the girls of our class met in separate conclaves and discussed the Question in all its aspects. Not a few predicted a long and bitter fight, but when we held a class meeting and decided upon caps and gowns, less than a dozen dissenting votes were cast. You, as well as we, are now reaning the benefit of that de- 31 cision. We ask your indulgence il some of the caps are a little awry and if the men in the class appear a little awkward at their first attempt to manage skirts. Now that we have reached the parting of the ways, it would be easy to wax sentimental over our regrets at the separations which graduation necessarily brings. Suf- fice it to say, however, as has been said so many times before, that we shall always cherish the friendships and easy comradeships of our high school days and number them among our fondest memories. Class Prophecy by Ann Mansfield and Joseph Hinckley Time: 1959 A.D. Place: Cable Memorial Hospital. Characters: Nurse — Ann Mansfield. Patient — Joseph Hinck- ley. ANN. (Reading from chart) Joseph Hinckley. Bad case of measles. Unconscious three days. Temperature 201, pulse 102, blood count two pints. PATIENT. Groans. ANN. (Repeating patient’s name wonderingly) Joseph Hinckley. JOSEPH. Where am I? ANN. Cable Memorial Hospital. JOSEPH. Haven’t I seen you somewhere before? ANN. Well, if it isn’t Joe Hinck- ley! JOSEPH. Why it’s Ann Mans- field, an old classmate. ANN. Where did you ever get such a bad case of measles? JOSEPH. I went to visit Mr. and Mrs. Murawski. One of their chil - dren had them and that’s how I con- tracted them. Do you ever see any thirty-niners around? ANN. Well, the last I heard of Elinore Strangman she was helping her husband conduct a family or- chestra. JOSEPH. What became of Win- nie Bailey? ANN. She outgrew her vamping streak and is now a fellow nurse. That brings to mind the fact that Whitney Appleton, the trumpeter of the Boston Symphony Orchestra, visits the hospital quite frequently with a very common and contagious disease of the heart. JOSEPH. You know, Joe Jadui has just entered into his eighth year of professional baseball with the New York Giants. ANN. Well, Joe always did stand out as a ball player. JOSEPH. Is Freddie Cronin still in town? ANN. Why yes, he runs his father’s store down at Ipswich Har- bor. He took up boxing for a short period of time, but he stopped when he began to lose weight. 32 JOSEPH. I suppose you know that Johnnie Hubbard is very capably running the South Church bowling alleys. The patrons keep him awake by aiming a ball at him when he dozes off. ANN. Yes, but before I forget to ask you, what are you doing at pres- ent? JOSEPH. Well, before these measles laid me low, I was em- ployed as a broker with Stone, Web- ster and Company, but I find time to run down to Ipswich occasionally. Oh! by the way, Evelyn Anzoni is working in my office in Boston. ANN. Well, it so happens that one of her Linebrook companions, Polly Kuconis, is working right here as hospital secretary, and Lib Can- ney is a laboratory technician here also. JOSEPH. Just the other day T ran into Jane Wilson and Alma O’Brien inYhe North Station. They are now co-editors of the Daily Record and were about to start for Maine to breathe some pure air. ANN. Speaking of travelling, do you remember Virginia Howard? She wanted to join the navy, but that being an impossibility, she started a girls’ colony where the girls wear sailor suits exclusively. JOSEPH. The word “uniforms” also brings to my mind the fact that George Arvanites and Walter Ach- ramowicz have gone Navy on us and joined the U. S. N. Flying Corps. Betty Boucher is up in the air too, working as an air-line stewardess. ANN. You remember the Dodge sisters, don’t you? Well, Abbie con- ducts a one woman band, marshalled by Sister Mary. JOSEPH. Speaking of orchestras what ever happened to our class musician, Doug Farquhar? ANN. Contrary to expectation, he has dropped music for genealogy. Having exhausted his own list of convenient relatives, he has now un dertaken to hunt up other people’s. JOSEPH. I went to the Plymouth Theatre last week to see our class actors, Madge Davis and Donald Perkins, who have risen to great heights, or rather touched the depths, in tragedy. They were ap- pearing in “Macbeth,” and on that particular night the house was sold out to Ipswich. As Lady Macbeth, Madge was still furnishing her stage husband with ideas. Stanley Los and George Grant travel along with them as scene shifters. ANN. Another dramatically in- clined member of our class, Con- stance Canney, is a comedian and entertains her radio public under the name of “Dizzy Dish.” JOSEPH. Jeanne Emerson is the gym instructor in the Y.W.C.A. in Rowley. ANN. Speaking of athletics, Dolly Critch won the woman’s swim- ming crown in the 1950 Olympics. 33 JOSEPH. Another one of our Senior Play Cast, Bud Nason, is butlering for the Vanderbilts on their New York estate. ANN. And he wanted to be a flier. JOSEPH. Betty Orsini is resid- ing with her husband on their Bev- erly estate. ANN. Speaking of Beverly couples, Margaret Brockelbank and Barbara Knowles were married at a double wedding ceremony last week and are both residing in Beverly. All are frequently mentioned in the society columns of the North Shore Breeze. Where is Eddie Saltzberg now ? JOSEPH. “Slats” has gone his father one better and operates a factory for constructing genuine an- tiques. ANN. You remember our class clown, Ralph Fraser, don’t you? JOSEPH. How could I forget him? ANN. Well, Ralph is still clown- ing; only he gets paid for it now by the Ringling Brothers. JOSEPH. That reminds me, is his old pal William Barton still in town ? ANN. Yes, but instead of follow- ing in his father’s footsteps, he has varied the calling slightly. He has a female route in Hamilton. He learned it back in his school days. JOSEPH. I hope I am quite well by the twentieth of the month, be- cause I want to attend Lorraine Bailly’s fifteenth wedding anniver- sary. ANN. Yes, Lorraine is getting- beautified for the occasion and has made an appointment with Winifred Wedzyn fifteen days ahead of time to have her hair done. JOSEPH. Winnie used to work in the Cafeteria didn’t she? That re- minds me of Alonzo Rand, who is working as head chef in the Hotel Statler in Boston. His assistants are Mary Podmostka and Marion Adams. ANN. Gertrude Henley, another cafeteria hand, has opened an exclu- sive woman’s shop in Linebrook and is kept well stocked with the best of fur goods by Mike Pappas, a fur- rier. Charlotte Noel makes an effi- cient model. JOSEPH. I imagine she does, and I heard that Barbara Dupray is also a model over in “Gaie Parie.” ANN. What happened to Henry Mozdziez ? JOSEPH. Oh, he’s a ball chaser for the Boston Red Sox. Just the other day a man who refused to re- linquish one, suffered some unpleas- ant consequences. ANN. Did you know that Ipswich has the only woman school bus driver? We’re all very proud of 34 Ruth Andrews, who is driving the old Linebrook bus. And we’re also very proud of our only composer, “Cap” Prysbylo. Have you heard his new swing song? JOSEPH. Why, only the other day I heard it sung by that tantaliz- ing vocalist, Mary Williams. I hear Guy Bragdon is acting as river pilot at Ipswich. ANN. Yes, and right down in the harbor residential district, Norman Graffum is building a house for Doc Alexopoulos, who is planning to es- tablish a permanent home there. It may also interest you to know that Stella Karenewska is doing the in- terior decorating. JOSEPH. If you ever have any engine trouble with your car, be sure to take it to “Dick Davis’s Snappy Service Garage.” ANN. Another one of our home towners is Joe Kuconis who is the Janitor of the Girl Scout hall. JOSEPH. How long has Imogene McRae been librarian? ANN. She has held the position for only two weeks, because Doris Martel, who previously held the job, has obtained one with Beth Fuller, the head of the Acme Jump Rope Factory. JOSEPH. Say, you haven’t run into Frances Dorr lately, have you? ANN. I read in the Chronicle, whi h. by the way, is printed by Joe Rvgielski, that Frances is bookkeep- ing for her husband who has a booming clam business. JOSEPH. Elizabeth Knight has started on her fourth tour of the country in her ultra modern trailer. ANN. Well, all I can say is ii she ever gets caught for speeding she will want to be sure to get an efficient lawyer like Delbert Mathe- son to handle her case. JOSEPH. I was in the Town Hall last Friday to get a dog license and found Gertrude Pickul and Helen Budzianowski doing secretarial work in the treasurer’s office. ANN. You didn’t happen to see Frank Williams while you were in the hall did you? He has the jani- tor’s job there and also, as a side- line, distributes the town reports. JOSEPH. No, I couldn’t stop to see Frankie because I ran into Vir- ginia Oliver, who is employed as town nurse, leaving the hall ; so I went out with her. ANN. Virginia’s old constant companion Audrey Moad was thrown from one of her famous rac- ing horses last Tuesday and broke her nose. She is down the corridor three doors. JOSEPH. That reminds me that Rozzie Goodhue, who was a good horsewoman, has recently moved into her new home in Melrose. ANN. Do you remember Peter Chinopoulos? He has his own ice cream concern now and has Teddy 35 Tsoutsouris working with him as his Good-Humor Man. JOSEPH. I suppose Marjorie Prentiss, who lately took over her father’s store, deals exclusively with Pete for her line of ice cream. ANN. Why yes, I believe she does. But I see you are getting ex- hausted from an overdose of news, and anyway it’s time for that X-ray which is to determine just how deep those measles have gone. We’ll have another chat when you have quite recovered. (Joseph is carried off by attendants.) Gifts to Girls by Douglas Farquhar A CCOKDING to a time honored tradition in Ipswich, parting gifts are presented each year to the members of the graduating class. I do not know when this custom orig- inated, but I do know that this year the task of selecting gifts for the girls was visited upon me. I am quite sensible of the honor thus con- ferred upon me, but when it came to searching for adequate gifts — gifts that would do justice to such a good- looking group of sweet, young things as you now see before you, I must confess that I felt humbled at the utter impossibility of the task. How- ever, I have done what I could, even to searching in cellars, attics, barns, and dumps, to say nothing of haunt- ing the heaped-up counters of Wool- worth’s, for gifts that would be suit- able; and I now present the fruits of my search, hoping, in all sincer- ity, that each gift will meet a long and heart-felt need. To Betty Knight, our new girl from the city, I give this compass so that she can find her way around the “sticks.” This “cold cream” goes to Gert Pickul to help keep the “chaps” off her lips. Winifred Wegzyn, custodian of the bulletin board, receives this box of thumb tacks as a souvenir of her faithful service throughout the past year. Connie Canney receives this bottle of “ ' white wash”. Good for coughs, colds, corns, and snakebites. Es- pecially good for “Poison Ivy.” Libby Canney, who is going to college, gets this “Jalopie” to run around in, in case her mother doesn’t let her take the “Buick.” I give to Elinore Strangman a package of stationery since she will no longer have access to school com- nosition paper on which to write let- ters to “Donnie.” Mary Williams receives this club to subdue her “Savage.” This dime goes to Dolly Critch toward some gas for “Bobby’s” car which is always in need of it. 36 Don’t tell anyone, Rosalind, but here’s a key to your mother’s car. Now you can visit Melrose more often. Betty Boucher receives this flash- light to help her locate her “usher” at the Strand theatre. To Evelyn Anzuoni I give this “cookie” to remind her of a sweeter one. Barbara Dupray receives this ruler and protractor to help “Pete” do his geometry. Ann Mansfleld receives this report card with all red “F’s” on it so that she will have to stay here another year and welcome an incoming fresh- man. To Butch O’Brien I present this pair of overalls so that she will be able to help “Jimmie” change flat tires. To Virginia Howard I give this anchor so she can hold her sailor fast the next time he pulls into port. Marjorie Prentiss, our “Garbo,” receives this lover’s seat so she and her 250 pound “Joe” won’t be dis- turbed. Betty Orsini is awarded this driver’s license. You won’t have to pester “Johnnie” to teach you now, Betty. Well, Jeanne! Here’s a little man for you. Do you think it would be too much effort to keep your atten- tions focused on him, and only him for awhile? This “bonnet” will keep Marion Adams’ hair in place when she goes riding with “Carl” in his roadster. These firecrackers set off behind Charlotte Noel will surely “pep” up that slow walk of hers. Helen Budzianowski’s one ambi- tion is to be married. I hope this bottle of perfume will help to at- tract the right man, Helen. This “Spooner’s License” goes to Francis Dorr. To Beth Fuller, our comic artist, I present this box of crayons. To Margie Brockelbank I give this travelling bag as a start towards fulfilling her ambition to travel. Doris Martel receives this time watch so she’ll be able to keep up with Abbie when they are playing duets. Imogene McRae receives this bul- letin board upon which she is to post her daily doings so that we may know more about her private life. Polly Kuconis, who is quite a farmer, receives this bag of special’ chicken feed as an encouragement to the hens. Barbie Knowles receives these ear- phones so that she may listen to her boy friend broadcast. Mary Podmostka, who goes to every change of the movies, receives this reserved seat. Jane Wilson, an honor student of our class, receives this wagon and star. Hitch your wagon to the star. Jane. 37 A potato masher goes t o Alice Lechowicz. This will help you keep “Tony’s” favorite dish ready, Alice. This duet goes to Lorraine Bailly so that she and “Rene” can harmon- ize. This life-time reed for a clarinet goes to “Abbie” Dodge. You’ll have to think up a better alibi now “Abbie,” for cutting a band re- hearsal. I hear Gertrude Henley intends to go into business with her father. This oil truck will give her a good start. A Vogue Fashion book goes to Madge Davis, so that she may be able to outstrip her rival for the title of best-dressed girl. This bottle of shellac goes to Stella Karenewska to aid in making minor repairs, especially on her glasses. To Virginia Oliver and Audrey Moad each a tube of cement to cement their friendship. This autographed baseball, a sou- venir of the Hyannis Hi-Y club, goes to Mary Dodge. To Winifred Bailey, our class vamp who intends to be a nurse, I give this icebag to cool off the ardent affections of her patients. If it takes two arms for one boy friend, it will take eight arms for four; therefore Ruthie Andrews will need these. With that I now leave you all to the enjoyment of your gifts, hoping you will find them useful and remi- niscent of a happy occasion. Gifts to Boys by Betty Orsini T WALKED into Woolworth’s yes- terday To purchase a thing or three. I thought of all my school chums Who would soon be leaving me.

I give him this pretty apron And a very useful book. To Matheson, our president. This “Chickie” is presented To remind him of the other one We know he won’t resent it.

He needs this wheelbarrow to bring them in At the end of a busy day. Washing dirty dishes Keeps our Rand quite busy. This blindfold to protect his eyes Will prevent his getting dizzy. Hinckley, our most popular boy. Wants to be left alone. I give him this spacious sailboat To sail away from home. Ralph Fraser, our gum addict, A wastepaper basket for him. His weekly output of gum Will fill it to the brim. I searched in vain for money. 41as, I had no more; So I walked away from the counters Out of the swinging door. T3E it remembered that we, the graduating class of 1939 of Ips- wich in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts being of sound mind and memory, but knowing the un- certainty of this life, do make this our last will and testament, hereby revoking all wills by us at any time heretofore made.

He does his work well and with his pal, Murawski, finds plenty of enjoyment during school hours. Out of school we usually see him swooping around town on his bicycle. A. A.; Glee Club 2, 3; Tiger Staff. MARION ADAMS Marion’s motto must be “Silence is Golden,” for we never hear a peep from her. The only way we can make Marion “bat an eyelash” is to mention the name “Carl.” Maybe her private life is not so quiet. Though Marion is serene, she expresses a wholehearted interest in class activities and is an earnest and diligent student, A. A.; Economics Club. ANDREW ALEXOPOULOS “Doc” is one of the school’s best sports enthu- siasts and all-round athletes. He tries out for all sports and always attains a berth on the teams. He is also one of the most popular boys in our class, as he is a good sportsman in anything he undertake . Basketball Letterman; Football Letterman; Baseball Letterman; Vice-President of the Va ' -sity Club; Treasurer of Commercial Club; A. A.; Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Best-looking boy. RUTH ANDREWS “Ruthie,” who comes from the Linebrook region, is the tomboy member of the class, fler favovlt sports are swimminp- and bicycle ridinp- Ruth’- gave us quite a surprise this year, for while having given us the impression of being a man-hater, she came out v ith the statement that f he had not only one boy friend, but four! Economics Club; A. A. 47 EVELYN ANZUONI “Chubby” is one of our lively, popular members. She enters into all our activities, but her main in- terest is in Cooke (ing). Although she is rather short, her unique laughter discloses where she may be found. Commercial Club; Glee Club; Cub and Tiger staffs; A. A.; Letter Girl; Basketball. WHITNEY APPLETON “Whit” is one of our quieter boys, but he is quite popular with all of us. Whatever he does he does well, as he has constantly proved to us. “Whit” is one of the best cooks in the Boys’ Cook- ing Class and is also a noteworthy musician. Band 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 4; Tiger Staff 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4 ; Brass Quartet 4 ; Boys’ Cooking Class. GEORGE ARVANITES “Avvy” is our class optimist and probably our greatest arguer. Whenever an argument is in pro- giess, no matter what it is about or where it is taking place, “Avvy” is heard above all others. For the first three years of his high school career he was a “shop recluse” but is now a member of the “mainland” circle. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 3; Tiger Staff 4; Shop Engli.sh Play 3. WINIFRED BAILEY “Winnie” i ; one of those angelic-looking crea- tures with blonde hair and blue eyes. But appea •- ances can be deceiving. “Winnie,” because of her co- quettish manners, is our class vamp. Madge seems to be her closest chum and the two, when together, compete to see who can giggle more. A. A.; Glee Club; Commercial Club; Captain of Basketball ’37; Class Vamp. 48 LORRAINE BAILLY Where “Polly” and “Margie” go, there goes Lorraine. They are the “Three Musketeers” of our class. We seldom see Lorraine after school, and rumor has it that Rene occupies much of her time. Though Lorraine is usually quiet, a burst of lilting laughter warns us that she is in conference with her two pals. A. A.; Economics Club; Commercial Club. WILLIAM BARTON “Willie” is certainly a fellow who loves a bit of fun. He can always be found with a group of fel- lows in the corridor, laughing and playing jokes on the others. Of course he has his serious side which is shown in whatever he undertakes. We have heard and wonder if it is true that he spends much of his spare time in the suburbs of Hamilton. A. A.; Glee Club 2 , 3, 4; Latin Club. ELIZABETH BOUCHER Betty received honorable mention as class vamp. Although her heart wanders here and there, her main interest is still Ipswich. As drum major, Betty has caused many a masculine heart to flutter. A. A.; Commercial Club; Glee Club; Latin Club; Drum Major. GUY BRAGDON Guy is a newcomer to oui- class, joining us in our senior year. He has made himself popular with all of us by his friendly manners and big smile, and has made himself well-known because of his hearty back-slaps. We feel sure that with his manners and smile Guy will achieve success in whatever field of work he may choose. A. A. member, 4. 49 MARGARET BROCKELBANK I i ■ ' I ' 1 J ' t “Margie” always impresses us as a very likable person. We hear, however, her interests are not al- together centered in Ipswich, for a certain John M. of Beverly occupies much of her time. She did a praiseworthy job as publicity manager for the Senior Play and was responsible for much of its success.. Tiger Staff; Senior Play Staff; Commercial Club; Glee Club; A. A. HELEN BUDZIANOWSKI How anyone can be so quiet yet so impressive has always nuzzled us. Helen is one of those rare persons who always has her homework done. She IS a decided asset to any clan. A. A. CONSTANCE CANNEY “Connie” made her reputation as the “old maid aunt” in the Senior Play. She is quite an actress and always manages to keep the audience roaring with laughter. She is very much interested in ath- letics, and her services to the basketball team were invaluable. Her subtle humor and sparkling wit often make her the center of merry giggles. Latin Club 2; French Club; A. A.; Girls’ Glee Club 3, 4; Senior Play; Girls’ Basketball; Tiger Staff. ELIZABETH CANNEY “Libby” has many ambitions, one of which is to be a laboratory technician. Since “Libby” has ac- ouired a license, one often sees her sporting about the town in a new grey Buick. “Lib” is a basket- ball fan and attends all the games. She was one of the bp st forwards on the girls’ team. A. A ; Latin Club 2; Letter Girl; Glee Club; Girls’ Basketball. ' ■it 50 PETER CHIONOPOULOS “Pete” is a “shoppie” and one of the best of our musicians. Although in point of years he is our class baby, his actions and activities show that he is a man, and no baby. “Pete” is very popular and he has been a great help in class activities, especially when questions of stage management arise. We expect that some day “Pete” will have his own orchestra and be a rival of “Artie” Shaw and “Benny” Goodman. President of Shop Club 4; Band 7 years; Brass Quartet 3, 4; Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 3, 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Baby. DOROTHY CRITCH “Dolly” has been ahead of the styles throughout her four years of high school, for she wears her hair in the upward swirl which is very becoming. A male element from Carolina also enters into the picture. We don’t know much about him, but “Dolly” does. A. A.; French Club; French Play; Economics Club; Glee Club. FRED CRONIN “Tubby,” who is the most rotund member of the Senior Class, loves an argument. He is usually chosen to lead the Economics Class in a discussion, and no one dares to oppose his decisions when he speaks in his booming voice. On the gridiron his charges have resulted in many a touchdown for the Ipswich Tiger. Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Football Letter- man; Varsity Club; French Club; Tiger Staff; A. A.; French Club Play. MADELINE DAVIS “Madgie” has made quite a reputation for her- self in high school. She won the titles of most popu- lar girl and class actress, and tied the vote for best- dressed girl. One finds her a member of all our committees and an active participant in the activities of the school. She admirably portrayed the leading lady in the Senior Play, doing more than justice to her part. She is a happy, gleeful person, finding humor in the dullest task. A. A.; Glee Club 4; Vice Pres, of French Club; Basketball 3, 4; Manager of Basketball Team 4; Tiger Staff; Senior Play Cast; Most popular girl; Class Actress. 51 RICIIARD DAVIS “Dick” is the fellow to whom we look when we want someone to put over an affair with excitement, for he is just the person needed. Last fall “Dick” held down the position of tackle on the football team, a position which proved to be advantageous for the team. A. A.; Glee Club; Football Letterman, 1 , 3 . ALBERTA DODGE “Abby” has a peaches-and-cream complexion topped off by honey-colored hair. She mixes easily and is a perfect sport. She and her sister Mary could put on quite a style show with their smart school-girlish clothes. Her main worry is trying to speak French properly. A. A.; Glee Club; French Club; Commercial Club; Band; Orchestra; Girls’ Basketball. MARY DODGE Mary was our head cheer leader. Through her hard efforts, the school cheered the team on to a victorious year. Even after the football season her lusty voice echoed through the auditorium during the basketball season. Besides her cheering, she has been prominent in many other activities. Commer- cial Club; A. A.; Head Cheerleader; Letter Girl; Girls’ Basketball. FRANCES DORR “Betty’s” disposition never seems to be affected by the trivial things that bother the rest of us. Her cheerfulness brought her many friends and un- doubtedly is the secret of her attraction for Steve. She is a loyal supporter of school activities, and her class-mates chose her secretary of the Commer- cial Club. Secretary Commercial Club; A. A.; Glee Club. 32 BARBARA DUPRAY “Petite” is the word for “Barbs,” and, like many tiny people, she puts much weight behind her dec- larations. Her ability to laugh at the slightest quip has made her a vast circle of friends — both male and female. She is lively and full of mischief, al- ways ready to take part in a merry trick. School and dancing are her chief occupations, and, from all evidences, she has a heart interest in the sophomore, class. Home Economics Club; Glee Club 4 years; Vice President of Commercial Club; A. A. JEANNE EMERSON Jeannie is one of our most popular girls in the school, and this is probably one of the reasons why she acquired such a vivacious part in the Senior Play. Jeanne was elected class girl athlete, and her splendid work as guard on the girls’ basketball team helped us to win many a game. Secretary of Glee Club; A. A.; Senior Play Cast; Letter Girl: Co’ mercial C’ub; Cub and Tiger Staffs; Girls’ Basket- ball; Class Girl Athlete. DOUGLAS FARQUHAR “Doug” is our class musician and plays his clarinet with the skill of a professional player. He takes pleasure in leading the senior boys in singing during the cafeteria period. Although school activi- ties and music take up much of his time, “Doug” finds time to entertain a certain sophomore girl. Band 6 years; Orchestra 4 years; Glee Club 4 years; Cheerleader 3, 4; Double Quartet; Tiger Staff: Senior Play; Class Musician; Class Day Part; Boys’ Cooking Class; A. A. RALPH FRASER “Foo” got his name from his poetical quotations which usually ended with the word “foo.” He has done justice to anything he has undertaken and his humor is hard to surpass as he is constantly ioking. The senior class is proud to have him with us.

Even though she is tiny, she is an excellent athlete and was the captain of our Girls’ Basketball Team. Beth, we also discovered, has other talents. She gave the girls a long laugh with her “Mystery Number” in one of the Economics Club assemblies. A. A.; Latin Club-Quaestor; Girls’ Basketball Cap- tain; Economics Club; French Club; Tiger Staff; Letter Girl. j ROSALIND GOODHUE “Rozzie” was voted most dignified girl, a title which she truly deserves. She joined our ranks in her sophomore year after having spent her freshman year elsewhere. Last year she captured a senior’s heart; but this year Lewiston, Maine, was too great a distance to travel. “Rozzie” may be seen almost any evening speeding home from Melrose in a new grey Dodge. Latin Club; French Club; Glee Club: A. A.; Girls’ Basketball; Most dignified. NORMAN GRAFFUM “Norm” is our class president and one of our champion arguers as well . He can nearly always be heard in the noontime discussions, arguing his every point with “Avvy,” our class optimist. Out- side of these discussions, however, “Norm” is usually a quiet fellow. Shop Club; A. A.; Class Pessimi.st. GEORGE GRANT “George” is one of the quieter class members and is usually found with Stanley. He has srpent much of the past year as one of the stage man- agers for the many plays and entertainments given by different organizations. George is also one of the numerous shop boys. Boys’ Cooking Class ; Shop Club; Stage Manager for Senior Play; A. A. 54 t GERTRUDE HENLEY “Gert,” one of our smaller “femmes,” is one of great ambitions. She desires to become a child nurse. She is ' handy about all the domestic arts and is one of Miss Whitney’s right-hand ladies. Gert is one of our cafeteria cashiers. There are very few who could put one over on her as she has an excellent business head. A. A. ; Economics Club. JOSEPH HINCKLEY “Joe” is undoubtedly the most popular boy in our class, and no wonder — he has a big, sunny smile and a friendly, even disposition which have made friends for him wherever ' he goes. “Joe” is also our class financier, having for three years collected class dues in his capacity of Class Treas- urer. He has always emerged successfully, how- ever, and his well-balanced books would be a credit to anyone. The following list of Joe’s positions truly attest to his popularity: Class Treas- urer 1, 3, 4; President of Boys’ Glee Club 4; Business Manager of “Cub” and “Tiger” 4; Presi- dent of Athletic Association 4 ; Member of Boys’ Glee Club for 3 years; Member of Athletic Asso- ciation 1, 2, 3, 4; Senior Play Cast 4; Class Day Part; Most Popular Boy. VIRGINIA HOWARD Virginia plans to attend Nassau and be a dietician. She and Libby have formed a close friendship during their high school career. Vir- ginia’s outside activities center mainly around Terry. It has often been rumored that she spends most of her time writing to him. Virginia is also one of our letter girls. A. A.; Glee Club; French Club; Latin Club; Economics Club; Concert Or- chestra; Senior Play; Letter Girl. JOHN HUBBARD In spite of his size, “J. V.” is seen every- where. He is not one to be forgotten, as he has an attractive personality. His work as manager of the football team has shown that he can do his part in anything he may attempt. His humor has made many a weary classmate laugh, and even though he is not very tall the class will not forget him quickly. Glee Club 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club; A A.; Tiger Staff; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Manager of Football Team; Latin Club; Science Club; Class Day Part. 55 JOSEIMI JADUL ‘‘Gee-Gee” is generally a quiet person, but he is very active in baseball and basketball. He pitched the baseball team to many victories last year, and was one of the high scorers in basket- ball this season. “Gee-Gee” is another “shoppie” and has done some good work in the shop. Mr. Conary and Mr. Burke will miss “Gee-Gee” very much next season. Captain of Baseball Team; Co-Captain of Basketball Team; Shop Club; Var- sity Club; A. A.; Class Woman hater. STELLA KARENEWSKA This year’s Senior Play was one of the most successful in recent years, and one of the persons who should receive a large share of the credit is Stella, our Class Play Business Manager. We can’t ever praise her work enough. Glee Club ; Commercial Club; A. A.; Business Manager of Senior Play. ELIZABETH KNIGHT Although Betty joined us for only our Senior year, we can’t imagine our class without her. We count Somerville’s loss our gain. Her smile, her willingness to co-operate, and her pleasant disposi- tion have carried her straight to our hearts, and we only wish that she ' had joined us sooner. Pres- ident of Economics Club; A. A. BARBARA KNOWLES “Barbie” is our class author and poet, and we must say that she thoroughly deserves these titles. She made us all very proud of her when she won the first prize in an essay contest given in four high schools and sponsored by the Audu- bon Society. We can scarcely find a “Cub” issue without a poem or theme written by Barbara. Maybe she will bring fame to the class of ’39 with her poetical abilities. Though she lives a long distance from town, she managed to get back to school now and then, and she did an excellent job as property manager in the Senior Play. A. A.; French Club; Economics Club; Cub and Tiger Staffs; Senior Play; Class Poet. 56 JOSEPH KUCONIS “Joe” is one of the tallest boys in our class and is also a platinum blond. He and “Slats” have formed a very close friendship during their school years, and theirs is a good companionship. “Joe” is a rather quiet fellow, but we like every inch of him. Boys’ Cooking Class; Tiger Staff; A. A. ; Class Blusher. PAULINE KUCONIS If you should ever see a clear-cut athletic girl sporting a beautiful sweater, undoubtedly it would be our “Polly.” “Polly’s” sweaters are the envy of every girl in the school. Her powerful playing on the Girls’ basketball team helped the Seniors defeat their rivals. A. A. ; Girls’ Glee Club; Commercial Club; Economics Club; Cub and Tiger Staffs; Girls’ Basketball; Best Dressed Girl. ALICE LECHOWICZ Here is Alice, Miss Whitney’s No. 1 elect foi mashing the cafeteria potatoes. Besides possessing this talent, Alice has captured the heart of Muraw ski, who is worth capturing. We congratulate oui class lovers and wish them the best of luck. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Economics Club; Class Lovers. STANLEY LOS “Lossy,” whose idea of a perfect day is one spent in hunting, has a great ability for woodwoi’k. His work at shop has made many a classmate marvel as to his skill. He has formed an inseparable com- nanionshin with George Grant, and together the two of them have done some ftn work as stage man- agers. A. A.; Secretary of Shop Club; Stage Man- ager of Senior Play. 57 IMOGENE MacRAE Imogene, more commonly called “Jean,” follows that old adage, “Be seen and not heard.” In spite of her quiet ways, she is well liked by her close friends. As for outside activities, “Jean” spends a great deal of time working at the Rowley Library. She hopes some day to become a librarian. Eco- nomics Club. ANN MANSFIELD Ann is one of our most popular girls and is ever ready to lend a hand in the class activities. She is radical at heart, and we find her leading all cur radical movements. Miss Allen has a supply of “horror” and “mystery” literature contributed by Ann in her English themes. From the contents of her writings we surmise that she is a disciple of that blood-curdling author, Edgar Allan Poe. Ann re- serves a section of her heart fo her summer int ' er st in New Hampshire, though the Ipswich lad seems to occupy much of her time. A. A.; Treasurer of Girls’ ' ’ ' ' 0 Club; Consul of Latin Club; Vice President of C’ass ’36 - ’37. DORIS MARTEL Doris is one of our quiet girls. She and “Abbie” have formed a close friendship during their schoo’. days: whe re one is, the other is not far behind. She has proved herself quite an athlete, having made the first team in basketball. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Girls’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3, 4; Commercial Club; Science Club; Girls’ Basketball. DELBERT MATHESON “Del” has nobly led the Class of ’39 on through four long years of uncertainty and has managed to keep us out in front. He has been one of the out- standing football players during the past two years, receiving a letter for each year’s playing. Last season he and his co-captain led our team on to many victories and the championship of Class D. “Del” ranks very highly in scholastic accomplish- ment and is well liked by everyone. A.

Perhaps the reason that we haven’t seen much of her is that Salem Teacher’s College graduate who takes up all of her spare time. A. A.; Home Economics Club; Economics Club. HENRY MOZDZIEZ “Moses” is one of the shop members of our class and according to exhibits, his work in this field is very appreciable. Being a football man, he played a very important part in helping to win the cham- pionship. During the basketball season we fre- quently saw his tall frame flashing down the floor to score the needed points for a win. A. A.; Shop Club; Football Letterman 3; Basketball Letterman 4. ANTHONY MURAWSKI Although “Tony” is a quiet-spoken fellow, he is well liked by the whole class. He is constantly seen with Achramowicz, and if you see one of them, the other is sure to be close by. “Tony” was also elected as the male half of our pair of Class Lovers, and very blushingly acknowledged the fact. A. A.; Science Club; Class Lover. FRANCIS NASON “Bud” is our class artist, and he well deserves the title for his fine work as artist for the “Cub. ’ He served very faithfully as manager of the ’37 football team, and Mr. Conary found him to be in- dispensable. “Bud’s” wonderful ability to crack a joke at any time has made him very popular.

She is bubbling over with enthusiasm and school spirit, and we only feel sorry that she couldn’t have joined us sooner. She has become the center of many admir- ing friends, both boys and girls. Economics Club. ALMA O’BRIEN “Butch” is by no means a saint. She is a jolly Irish girl with a good sense of humor. When, how- ever, she is approached w ith the question as to whether or not she takes the Rowley boys for a ride, she boils over with anger. Anyway, authorities on the subject say she does. Another’ thing which dir- 1 u bs “Butch” is the mentioning of the name “Jimmy”; we wonder why. She is one of ou’ ' ’ hono” students and has shared the resnonsibilitv of get in the “Cub” out on time. A. A.; Consul of Latin Club- Vice President of Glee Club; Co-Editor-in-Chief of Cub and Tiger; Graduation Essay. VIRGINIA OLIVER “Ollie” is the most ardent female supporter of sports in the who’e school. She is usually seen urging our boys onward, whether it be football, basketball, or baseball. Her distinctive hair style has helped to make her a permanent fixture in ou’’ hearts. A. A.; Treasurer of Economics Club. BETTY ORSINI “Ozzie” or “Oscar” (for she will respond to either salutation) well deserves the title of class poet although the class was not aware of her talent in this field. She amuses her friends in study hall (and classes) with her humorous outbursts of poetry. Ozzie may usually be found with “FuTerinsky” o arguing with Butch O’Brien. Ozzie is talented in this line too and always seems to win the argument We believe that one glance of her fiery eyes would win any argument. A. A.; Economics Club; Latin Club; C ub and Tiger Staffs; Class Day Pai-t. 60 MICHAEL PAPPAS “Mike” is another of our foremost athletes. He will be remembered by the 1939 football squad for his piloting them through a very successful season. “Mike” is co-operative and has been very successful on the baseball, football and basketball squads.

DONALD PERKINS “Perk” is an active member in the sporting field, having won his letters in baseball and basketball, in which fields he turned in good work. For his fine performance as leading man in our Senior Play he was elected Class Actor, which title he well deserves. A.

GERTRUDE PICKUL Don’t be misled by Gert’s outward serenity. Her flashing eyes betray the brands of fire stored up within her. Gert shocked the shorthand class by he ' riotous activities on Senior Day. The cleverest thing the Commercial Club ever did was to elect Gert as nresident. No club could fail with such a capable leader. Glee Club; President of Commercial Club- A. A.; Economics Club; Cub and Tiger Staffs; Girls’ Basketball. MARY PODMOSTKA “Hank” is one of the quieter, hardworking mem- bers of our class. She is usually seen with Alic ' and Murawski, the three of them discussing the lat- est current events. We don’t see much of Mary out- side of school, but we imagine that she uses her time profitably. A. A.; Economics Club; Home Economics Club. 61 MARJORIE PRENTISS “Margie” may often be seen walking or taking out babies. She and Imogene have formed one of those f ' iendships which just do not exist in every- one’s life. “Margie” is handy with a needle also. She has shown us what she can do when she modeled some of her exquisite handiwork in the Domestic Alts Exhibition. A. A.; Domestic Arts Exhibition. STEPHEN PRYZBYLO “Cap,” who is one of our class musicians, has .shown considerable skill in handling a violin in the O chestra for several years. He is a member of the Shop Club and is one of the best printers. “Cap’s” keen sense of humor has won him many friends and lias made him popular among the “shoppies.” Shop Club; School Orchestra; A. A. ALONZO RAND “Sponge” is the fellow with the big smile who is nearly always seen with “Avvy.” Although he is always cheerful, “Sponge” is an industrious lad ' horn ' ' c know always to do a good job of anything he undertakes, and we feel sure that he will make a succ ' ss o ’ life. A. A.; Vice-President 3t Tige’ Staff 5; Senior Play Cast 4; Boys’ Cooking Class 4. JOSEPH RYGIELSKI “Riggles” is a quiet fellow and is seldom heard from around school. He is one of our best shop students, doing fine work in manual training. Neaidy every day last fall saw “Riggles” riding back and forth between the shop and the dump in his famous “Model T.” A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club. 62 EDWARD SALTZBERG Whenever you see Joe Kuconis, you may be sure that “Slats” is somewhere around, because the two are bosom companions. Another of our class musi- cians, “Slats” is a good violin player, having served for three of his four high school years in the Orches- tra. Also a splendid tennis player, “Slats” hopes to some day become World Champion. Latin Club 2; French Club 4; A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Orchestra 2, 3, 4; Best-dressed Boy. ELINORE STRANGMAN “El” is our best-looking girl, and we dare say, she has found her high school career very full. Since we had no Snow Carnival this year, she still reigns queen of I. H. S., a title which she captured in her junior year. Evidently she is not averse to “swing,” for one of our old alumni and the leader of a swing band seems to be the object of her affections. She is a type of girl who can be assured will make a suc- cess. A. A.; Economics Club; Glee Club; Prettiest Girl. THEODORE TSOUTSOURIS “Choo-Choo” is another one of our shop boys who has taken quite an interest in his work, having turned out several fine articles at “Shop.” When- ever we see him, he is smiling, and he has a great many friends who are attracted by his friendly dis- position, A. A.; Shop Club Treasu’ er; Latin Club 2. WINIFRED WEGZYN “Winnie” is the girl with the spritely smile and the fathomless freckles. She is always ready, will- ing, and able to help whenever asked. The studv hall billboard is certainly going to miss “Winnie’s” attentive touch. A. A.; Economics Club. 63 FRANK WILLIAMS “Frankie” is another fun-loving fellow who is always smiling and cheerful. He is usually seen with his pal, “Milly,” and the two of them together lead many a fun-loving prank. It is rumored that “Frankie” spends quite a bit of time in Gloucester. A. A.; Glee Club. MARY WILLIAMS Little Mary is one of our most popular girls. Wherever Mary is, you may be sure that som thhig interesting is afoot. She and Jeanne are toge ' he ' always, both in and out of school. We imagine that Mary’s leisure time is not wasted. Glee Club; A. A : Vice President of Economics Club. JANE WILSON “Janey” is our most ambitious student.

Sports Review FOOTBALL rpHE Ipswich High School football eleven of the 1938 season has been acclaimed by the school and also by the state to be the best team in the Class “D” rating for high schools. The team was led last season by Co-captains Del Matheson and Mike Pappas. These two boys did good scholastic work during the football season and also played a great brand of football. Together with Joe Robishaw, star fullback, they gained “Honorable Mention’’ in the All-Scholastic Team of the State this year. 67 The high scorer for the year was “Jo Jo” Robishaw, unanimously elected captain for next year, who scored 94 points. Joe is only seven- teen years old and weighs a mere 135 pounds. He scored 15 touch- downs. Though one was but a 3 yard sweep, the other 14 were on an average of 44 yards apiece. That is a ball carrier for you ! Among other pigskin carriers for the year were Wally Machaj, who broke into the ranks of the first squad after the first game, and in the next four games he scored on the first play in which Ipswich had the ball. Some of these runs were as long as 50 yards. Richie Mar- corelle did a very good job this year at quarter-back. Any boy that can call signals to bring Ipswich through a season with the number of points that they made certainly deserves credit. He made some dazzling runs and was a very efficient blocking back. Besides these we must re- member that there were others who deserve credit, — namely, “Tubby” Cronin 205 pound halfback who al- ways gained those necessary two yards for the first down; then ther ' were Pete Bokron and Mourikas who did very well when they had a chance to show their stuff. The line this year was very strong with Budzianowski and Trem- blay at the ends ; Robertson and Matheson at the tackles; Mike Pan- pas and Arnold Pappas at th guards; and “Doc” Alex at the cen- ter berth. Among others on the team who saw service were Stamatakas and Smith as reserve ends; Davis, Mod- ziez, and Ford at the tackles; and Cooke and Angelo Pappas at the guards. In the backfield were Stewie Mansfield and “Horse” Martel be- sides the others named. The team’s record for the year was eight games won and one game lost. The schedule was as follow- ' Boston Farm and Trade 0 Ipswich 48 Gloucester 33 Ipswich 7 Danvers 0 Ipswich 6 Reading- 0 Ipswich 41 Howe 0 Ipswich 25 Tewksbury 0 Ipswich 31 St. John’s 6 Ipswich 25 Johnson 18 Ipswich 45 Manchester 0 Ipswich 27 This is one of the finest records an Ipswich team has ever had, and the townspeople should be proud of the 1938 football season. The whole squad this year was a fine group of fellows to work with, and if every team could be as good, Ipswich would be on the map as a football town. 68 BASKETBALL f HiIE Ipswich High School basket- ball team completed its first season in the Cape Ann League by losing to a strong Manchester team. The final standing of the teams was in doubt up to the last game, when Manchester defeated Ipswich 38 to 27. The record for the season was seven victories and seven defeats. Two of these seven defeats were suffered at the hands of a powerful Danvers quintet. Co-captains Joseph Jadul and An- drew Alexopoulos led their team in an inspiring way. The senior letter- men are Alexopoulos, Jadul, Perkins, M. Pappas, and H. Mozdiez. The high scorers for the year were Alexonoulos, 132 points ; s. Koch, ] 00 points ; and Jadul, 87 noints.

They were undefeated in the Cape Ann League, taking the championship easily. One of the reasons that this has been one of the best teams the school has ever had was the pitching of Captain Joe Jadul and also the southpaw hurling of “Doc” Alexopoulos. The two boys have been putting in some very bril- liant performances all the year. 69 Another reason that the ball club went to town was the hitting ability of the club. Besides that, Coach Burke had very good discipline which always contributes much to a club. This is the first team that has ever won a championship in a league in baseball. In 1929 the team en- tered the lower division of the Bos- ton Suburban League and came in second in this league, with Rockport coming in first. This year Rock port came in second, and Manchester and Essex tie for third, with St. Ann’s in the cellar. Another great feat which was per- formed this year was the working of a t7 ' iple play. This is a very rare play in baseball and has not hap- pened in Ipswich since 1923 when Danvers did it against Ipswich. The Essex teamwas the victim this year. With runners on first and second the Essex batter hit a pop fly to short center that looked like a hit. Capt. Joe Jadul, playing centerfield, came racing in and made a shoestring catch of the ball. He threw the ball to “Bobo” Wile on second and Wile then drove the ball over to Koch on first, both runners and the batter being out. The team as a whole this year were practically all veterans, al- though some were not. Billie Smith, rookie shortstop, is playing his first year for Ipswich and will also play next year. His hitting was a great asset to the team. Another first year man, but a senior, was Stan Los, who played very well at third base. He also was a good hitter. Among new pitchers coming along for next year are Pete Stamatakos and Stan Koch. They have showed that with a little ti;aining they will go a long way next year. The members of the squad this year were Capt. Joe Jadul, “Doc” Alexopoulos, Mike Pappas, Stanley Los, all seniors ; and next year’s team will be composed of Stan Koch, Bobo Wile, Joe Robishaw, Francis Mart h Bill Smith, Pete Stamatakos, Pete Mourikas. Bill Peatfield, Dick Wea- gle. Wally Machaj, Eddie Machaj, and Russel] Woodbury. 70 Social Review CHRISTMAS PAGEANT A PAGEANT entitled “Why the Chimes Rang” by Elizabeth McFadden was presented to the stu- dent body on December 23, in the auditorium. The pageant concerns a small boy who, by his humble of- fering, performs a miracle which others had failed to do with richer, costlier gifts. The pageant depended on the ex- cellent stage managing and lighting effects in charge of Donald Perkins, Stanley Los, and George Grant un- der the direction of Mr. Merson. Those taking part in the pageant were Wendell Hill, Fred Cronin, Joan Bousley, Frank O’Malley, Jane Wilson, and a choir of twenty voices under the direction of Mr. Arthur Tozer. FRENCH CLUB ASSEMBLY rnHE members of the French Club presented a French play, “Nous Verrons” by Edna Simpson, to the student body on February 10. Al- though the play was almost entirely in French, the actions interpreted it to those unable to understand it. Constance Canney’s French accent and the Pomeranian, Ming Toy, needed no explanation. The play concerned a French maid, Madeline Davis, who wanted to go to America, and in anticipation of this event she studied English in her spare time. The cook, Ralph Fraser, and her mistress, Beth Fuller, tried to dis- suade her. After a tangling plot is untangled, everything is all right again. The play was ably coached by Miss Helen Blodgett. The Senior Play N Thursday, March 30, the Senior Class presented the Eng- lish farce, “Tons of Money.” The leading parts were taken by Made- line Davis as Louise Ailington and Donald Perkins as Aubrey Ailing- ton. The Allingtons are deeply in debt after having bought everything credit could buy. At an opporcuiiu moment, the solicitor, James Chester- man, played by Delbert Matheson, arrives and notifies the elated Alling- tons that they are the heirs of Aubrey’s brother’s fortune. In order to forestall the creditors and keep the money in the family, Louise plans Aubrey’s death and his rein- carnation in the person of George 71 SENIOR PLAY STAFF First Row (left to right) : Virginia Howard, Ann Mansheld, Madge Davis, Miss Margaret Allen, Jeanne Emerson, Barbara Knowles, Margaret Brockelbank.

Maitland, next in line for the for- tune. He is presumably dead. How- ever, Sprules, the butler, Francis Nason, with the aid of Simpson, the parlormaid, Anne Mansfield, also plans that his brother Henery, Jo- seph Hinckley, disguise himself as George Maitland and collect the for- tune. To complete the picture, the real George Maitland, Douglas Far- quhar, arrives in person. After a whirlwind chain of events, the George Maitland situation is straightened out, and Aubrey re- turns after an attack of amnesia to learn that taxes and expenses have reduced the fortune to a few pounds. Jeanne Emerson as Jean Everard, George Maitland’s wife, disturbs not only Louise, but the two fake George Maitlands as well. Constance Can- ney as Miss Benita Mullet and 72 Alonzo Rand as Giles, the gardener, added a great deal to the humor of the play by their opportune remarks and questions. With a supporting management of Stella Karenewska, business man- ager; Margaret Brockelbank, public- ity manager; Barbara Knowles and Virginia Howard, property man- agers; George Grant, Stanley Los, Fred Cronin, and George Arvanites as stage managers, the performance was highly successful and netted the senior class the sum of $178, the largest in recent years. BAND CONCERT pHE Ipswich High School Band presented a concert at the Treadwell Auditorium on Thursday evening, April 27, 1939, under the direction of Mr. Arthur Tozer. Included in the concert was a trombone solo by Edward Blaisdell and two numbers by the brass quar- tette consisting of Everett Smith, Peter Chionopoulos, Edward Blais- dell, and Whitney Appleton. GLEE CLUB CONCERT N Thursday evening. May 18, the two Glee Clubs presented a very successful concert at the Treadwell Auditorium under the direction of Mr. Arthur Tozer. The proceeds were turned over to the Athletic Association to help to finance base- ball. The concert consisted of numbers by the two glee clubs alone and com bined. Special features were a piano solo by Miss Virginia Howard, a solo by Douglas Farquhar, and a number by the male quartet consist- ing of Joseph Hinckley, Fred Cronin, Douglas Farquhar, and Richard Wells.
