The purpose of this program is to give the student a liberal and cultural education and a vocational competence which fits him to enter some specific type of useful employment. College of Business Administration Offers a college program with broad and thorough training in the principles of business with specialization in ACCOUNTING, BANKING AND FINANCE, or BUSINESS MANAGEMENT. Modern methods of instruc- tion, including lectures, solution of business problems, class discussions, pro- fessional talks by business executives, and motion pictures of manufacturing processes, are used. College of Engineering Provides complete college programs in Engineering with professional courses in the fields of CIVIL, MECHANICAL (with DIESEL, AERON- AUTICAL and AIR CONDITIONING options) , ELECTRICAL, CHEMI- CAL, INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING, and ENGINEERING ADMINIS- TRATION. General engineering courses are pursued during the freshman year; thus the student need not make a final decision as to the branch of engineering in which he wishes to specialize until the beginning of the sophomore year. Co-operative Plan The Co-operative Plan, which is available to upperclassmen in all courses, provides for a combination of practical industrial experience with classroom instruction. Under this plan the student is able to earn a portion of his school expenses as well as to make business contacts which prove valuable in later years.

Now we too are seniors; yet somehow the glory .eems not so bright as we had imagined it to be. The heigh ' s, once having been scaled, seem but mere foot- hills. Ahead of us loom bigger and broader horizons. Pausing before the commencement of a new life, we are beset with the strange realization that we have grown up. School days are behind — the world lies before, the world and a new life. Waxing reminiscent, we think of our high school days. Our alma mater is the new Ipswich High School; we can- not remember the first four months of our freshman year at old Manning. The numerous advantages which we enjoyed in cur new quarters cannot be over-em- phasized and we hope they have been properly appreciated. We shall for- ever remember the friendships we have made during these days and hope that they only grow stronger in the years following graduation. But now we are on the brink of a new life. As we look about us, we :ee th: whole world at war. You ' h is being sacrificed at the altars of freedom and liberty. Savagery, hate, and animal fury have been unleashed. Indescrib- able agony and destruction are going on in all parts of the world. The prob- lem of unemployment remains. Indeed, the universe seems to be riding on a black tempest the outcome of which no one can foretell. Such therefore is the setting of the world stage upon which we are to act our life roles. But w,e must have courage as we take the step in ' o the unknown abyss of the future. Young and untried, but with a gallant cry of We are here , we enter the arena of life. There is work to be done. 16 LITERARY “THE NIGGER OF THE NARCISSUS (By Joseph Conrad) Edward Michon ’40 T HE magic key to an exciting extra- ordinary adventure is Joseph Con- rad’s book, “The Nigger of the Nar- cissus. From that far away night in Bombay when the motley crew of the sailing ship “Narcissus assembled on deck the author weaves a fascinating tale that holds the reader spellbound. For four long months the everyday life aboard the “Narcissus is one of unforseen hardships and peril. The sea so vast and merciless overshadows the tiny speck of a wandering ship. The wind, one time a friend and the next an enemy; the sky, the stars, the storms, and sudden calms are a vivid and never-to-be-forgotten experience. Jim Waite, the self-styled colored gentleman, is a mysterious and tragic figure. Like a lonely, frightened child he shams a courage he does not feel. The ugly, hateful Donkin; Singleton, a bearded patriarch; the kind hearted Bel- fast; bemused Wamibo; Captain Allis- town, a great and knowing seaman, — these are the kind of people one can never forget. “The Nigger of the Narcissus from beginning to end is a story so real, so superbly written, that upon turning the final page my eyes could not accus ' om themselves to the ordinary room in which I sat. I could still feel the wind on my face, hear Jim Waite’s fine baritone voice, and see the “Narcissus moving gracefully over a shimmering expanse of blue seas. In my opinion, for several hours of fine enjoyment, one should read Conrad’s “Nigger of the Narcissus. ON SEEING THE BEACH IN MOONLIGHT By Edward Michon Quiet are the shores, save for the bloom- ing. Of the surf. Now calm moonlight bathes The dunes in celestial whitene.s; a dis- tant buoy Sounds a dirge-like knell. Stars are dimmed, the moon in her full Outshines them, and forms a glistening path For the sea-nymphs swimming towards shore. Alone I wander, and meditate on what Goes on on foreign shores this night. Troops may be landing, or guns grumb- ling On foreign shores. 17 WALKING FOR PLEASURE (a monologue) Ruth Wilson ’42 P UT on your low-heeled shoe; , Alison; we are going for a walk. I know you’d rather bicycle somewhere, but we’re going for a walk to prove that ambulation is not entirely over- shadowed by the bicycle fad. Do you remember that I told you once, while we were biking, that the only way to get acquainted with roads was on a bicycle, because an auto travels so quickly? I take that statement back. Now I know that one can’t really know a place until he has traversed it by foot. Where shall we go? Anywhere. The back road to Hamilton, the Beach Road, the footpath by the swamp; we don’t have to drive to a mountain trail bordered with hot-dog stands to enjoy a walk. I can take you where the forget-me-nots bloom in a secluded spot by an old mill. Walking is more than a pastime, Alison. There are joy and health to be gained from putting one foot before the other in a rhythmic way until you do not even feel the effort of moving at all; there is strength to be found in stretching your body up toward the clouds, in breathing aid that is enliven- ing in its purity. Leave your favorite copy of “Oliver Twist’’ and try a new occupation that was a favorite of Dickens himself. What if it rains? You say there are already dark clouds in the sky? Then you will experience the fulfillment of a deep inexpressible longing, for there is infinite satisfaction in feeling the soft splashes of water against your face while you keep time with your feet to the beats of the rain. When you come to love walking as I do, I will take you wi h me during every season of the year. The same walks appear very different beneath snow, wind, and sun. We’ll even go by night to feel the cold intens- ity of the stars in winter and the misty velvet of a summer evening that is not at all terrifying but only deep and mys- terious. You say that you cannot leave your studying, that you must stay to solve a difficult problem in Algebra? Bring the problem along, in your mind, Alison. It is so much easier to think when your body is occupied. What if we are late for my engage- ment tonight? We won’t be late; we will consult our watches now and then. If we become pressed for time, we can sing a lively tune, such as “The Toreador Song’’ from “Carmen’’ and march home to it. Keeping a reg- ular pace is just as necessary for speed in walking as in typing. And if the pain in your side returns? Then we will slow down for a while. When you have walked on many hikes, the pain will have disappeared forever. Put on your low-heeled shoes, Alison. We are going for a walk. 18 HOT-WATER BOTTLE I lie with him in cozy ecstacy While blusterous blasts in through my window blow; The very king of sleep-producers, he, Who cheers my toes when temperatures are low. Sad mem’ries come, of ills and maladies Which he has comforted: but now I’m well. Safe in convictions that I will not freeze, I let myself drowse in his warming spell — The east is brightening with a rosy pink, The coming of a new day is foretold: But I, ’twist chilly sheets and bed- clothes, shrink From something in one corner, clammy, cold — A. Nonnie Mouse GRADUATION ESSAYS PROPAGANDA AT WORK by Edward Michon T HE world of today in its news- papers, over its radios, and in the cinema is teeming with propaganda. In its broadest sense, propaganda as defined in the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences is the “technique of manipulat- ing representations to influence human actions.’’ The word was first given general currency in 1622 by the Roman Catholic Church referring to the “con- gregatio de propaganda fide,’’ a body of cardinals and many missionaries charged with supervising missionary operations in all parts of the world. Originally, the word had no evil mean- ing. But most of us today associate the very word “propaganda” with in- sidious plots. This is only a half truth, for it is necessary to distinguish between two kinds of propaganda, the one harmless; the other extremely dangerous. Advertisements, political speeches, and the like belong to one class, innocuous enough for the most part. But literature circulated by men who are interested primarily in getting an idea accepted constitute the evil class against which we must constantly be on our guard. It is this last type that I shall now proceed to discuss. Propaganda has been known and employed since the earliest times; hence it is no new thing. Excavations of Roman cities give proof of this. Fred- erick the Great used propaganda to in- fluence the European public. The North in our Civil War sent one hundred agents to England to spread its views. Propaganda by Serbia against the Austro-Hungarian Empire struck the 19 spark that kindled the World War. And throughout this war the respective gov- ernments were constantly engaged in hurling propaganda against one another and at the neutrals. Furthermore, in our own day Great Britain, Germany, Italy, and as a matter of fact all the important countries conduct tremen- dous propaganda campaigns. Now, propaganda can exercise tre- mendous effects. It does not explode shells, wreck buildings, or directly maim our citizens; nevertheless it poison minds, dynamites peace, and transforms the entire populace into vengeful, unthinking animals. With the magic tool of words leaders color the truth until it is unrecognizable. They depend upon our gullibility; they bank on our lack of intelligence; and they work upon our emotions! One of the most striking examples of the nefarious effect of propaganda may be found in the case of the United States and the World War. According to historians, allied propaganda was the more im- portant of the two causes which drew us into the conflict, the other being German submarine warfare. Indeed, responsible Englishmen have since dis- closed to us the nature and extent of the propaganda employed to lure us into that war. The methods employed by the pro- fessional propagandists, for govern- ments hire trained propaganda directors, are ingenious. The terms by which these methods are known, as compiled by the Propaganda Survey of the “Scholastic” are as follows; The first is known as “name-calling.” In the World War the Germans were called “Huns,” “thugs,” “gangsters,” and other names equally to their disadvan- tage. Secondly there is what propa- gandists term “Glittering Generalities.” We find examples of this in the World War also. Those who prated of dem- ocracy and the “war to end wars” were using this method. Thirdly, there is the method known as “Testimonial” by which statements are endorsed by prominent people. During the last war Kipling, Bryce, Shaw, Galsworthy, and Wells came to America to put the British view across the American dinner table. Moreover, a device known as “Plain Folk” is employed. One side points out that the enemy has an army of professional killers trained to fight, whereas they themselves are struggling to preserve the world with an army of farmers who have abandoned their plows, and young men — “plain folks.” The enemy may be represented in pos- ters as a huge armed giant astride a heap of carnage, gloating over his spoils. Another device frequently employed is “card-stacking.” Stories are taken and twisted around until they are fantas ' ic and almost unbelievable. Illustrations of this may be found in the atrocity stories of the World War, since proved so thoroughly untrue, of the dismem- berment of women and children, and of o ' her horrible inflictions visited upon helpless people. While speaking of the methods em- 20 ployed by the propagandists, we must mention a most extraordinary book en- titled “Propaganda in the Next War” by Sidney Rogcrson. It is a part of a series edited by Captain Lidell Hart, entitled “The Next War.” This book is not for sale; it is distributed only to a selected few of the inner circle of British diplomatic life. Insofar as is known there is only one copy in the United States. This book outlines an astounding plan for propagandizing the Uni ' ed States into the present war. The author expresses his fears that it will not be possible to make use of the so-called atrocity stories; even though, strange as it may seem, there are so many atrocities being practiced all over the world. However, he goes on to say, “If Japan were involved, this might and probably wo uld bring the United States in without further ado. At any rate, it would be a natural and an ob- vious object for our propagandists to achieve this, just as during the Great War they succeeded in embroiling the United States with Germany.” Mach- iavelli is an innocent amateur in deceit in comparison with his lineal descend- ants who are thus working for our destruction with such nefarious plans! Moreover, this same book plans expen- sive use of the cinema which is already infiltrated with foreigners, and owned and operated by internationalists. I quote; “In the realm of the cinema we may depend on the natural bias of the United States film manufacturers as opposed to Germany. This will be an asset both with stock entertainment pic- tures and the news reels.” Be advised, however, that the G:r- mans are not less skilled in their meth- ods. During the World War t hey in- terfered with American affairs to a degree which will surely never be tol- erated again. They entered into the field of the United States labor politics. They set up propagandizing bodies which adroi ' ly blamed the allies for prolonging the war. They appealed to professional men. They reached women by forming bodies as the “League of American Woman for Strict Neutral- ity,” and working men through “La- bor’s National Peace Council.” They even bought a New York daily paper. And in modern times the vast Nazi propaganda machinery operates with staggering boldness. Broadcasts in ten foreign languages are sent out from Ger- many regularly to Britain and elsewhere to intimidate the populace. Moreover, Russia is no less blatant in her propa- ganda campaigns. Recently there was talk of the “brave Red army covering itself with glory” in Finland “in de- fense of the homeland.” After the War, the Russian foreign minister pub- licly announced the death list of Fin- land at four times her complete man power! Indeed, the totalitarian states seem to live and thrive on propaganda. Such is the work of the propaganda machine. Be not mistaken, therefore; propagandists are at work everywhere. But how can one recognize propa- 21 ganda and not succumb to it? To do this is a difficult task, but through alertness and education it can be done. In the first place, we should note the source of the article. Is it “from high official circles” or sources close to the government?” Note how indefinite these phrases are. In all probability what follows is pure propaganda. Or is the article from reliable news agencies such as the Vatican, Associated Press, or Uni ' ed Press? Secondly, we should scrutinize the general tone. Is it over- whe lming in its praise or censure? Does it conceal a party’s faults or virtues? If so, it may be propaganda. In the end, however, education and alertness of mind are the best weapons with which one may combat this invasion, for for- eign propaganda is nothing more than an invasion. For the youth of America there is one thing to do if propaganda is to become ineffective, and that is to seek after ed- ucation. By the study of sociology and history the youth of the na ' ion will develop into a broad-minded citizenry, careful in its credulity and in forming its opinons. By study young people will learn of past instances where prop- aganda worked and bearing these for- mer lessons in mind, they will direct their present day thoughts and ac ' ions accordingly. In my opinion by true education which encourages straight thinking will the nefarious activities of propagandists be rendered ineffective. For as long as the people remain un- educated, cagey leaders will work on their emotions and evil propaganda will go on unchecked to bear is insidious fruits of hatred, prejudice, and war. VISUAL EDUCATION THROUGH THE MOTION PICTURE by Eleanor Wallace F ROM time immemorial, vision has been used along with the other senses to educate from bir ' h. A child observes, discovers, and pries into things, but on entering school this flair for learning through actual seeing is un- fortunately halted. Since vision is the most used of the senses, why not con- tinue to exercise it and bring life to the school room through the use of film? About eighteen years ago this very thought came to educators. Instead of forcing pupils to plod dully through a lifeless book, why not, they said, en- able them to see life it self, or phases of it, in action? However this idea slum- bered until 1933, principally because a great number of cheap and commonplace pictures were being produced to the ex- clusion of worthwhile films with edu- cational value. With the advent of the censor’s office of Will H. Hays, the type of mo ' ion picture was improved, and first attempts to utilize it in education were made by the Committee on Social Values of the Progressive Education Association under the leadership of Dr. Howard M. Le Sourd, Dean of the Gradua ' e School 22 of Boston University. This commit- tee, aided by John D. Rockefeller, built up a series of pictures based on charac- ter education from films which were no longer being distributed to the theatres. This scries, entitled “Secrets of Success was welcomed by public schools and other educa ion2l institutions. A Commission of Human Relations was developed under Dr. Alice Keliher to govern selections and grade them for educational purposes. Specifications were set up on subject matter, effective- ness of presentation, and expected edu- cational results. It was found tka ' the pictures having the greatest educational possibilities were those dealing with physical phenomena. Always remembering that motion pictures are an aid, never a substitute, for real educa ' ion or even for books, still we cannot minimize their growing importance among modern teaching methods, and we must consider them along with textbooks and reference books as valuable teaching aids. Nor is their value limited to any particular field. Animation in films helps the pupil in biology to visualize such les- sons as the interaction of the neurones on the spine or the passage of food in the digestive tract. One of the most popular subjects of visual education which can be used as an example to illustrate its application is botany. The student may be informed beforehand of he features to be observed in the film- ing. If the botanist is instructing his pupils on pollination, microscopP||f « studies may be viewed by the students after they have seen the motion pictures. Without the use of sound the instructor may lecture during the viewing of the film. Although a student of botany can learn many things in the course of a year from a book plus his imag’n- ation, he can benefit much more by a graphic presentation of his subject on the screen as a supplement to his book. Films can easily be adopted also to teaching foreign languages. The appli- cation of films in class may be bene- ficial to students not only in learning French or any other particular languag: but may also be instrumental in ac- quiring the cultural background of the language. With the showing of the films students may use dialogue copies from which to study. In studying English, famous plays may be brought to the classroom through the use of film. Dramatic classes may learn act- ing technique from the showing of a silent film. Many films become suit- able for several departments; for ex- ample, if “Gone With the Wind were the type of film to be distributed for educational purposes, it would be of value to the history department for its data on the Civil War and Reconstruc- tion Period of the South; a home eco- nomics class, interested in costume design, would be intrigued by the period dress; the English department would be interested in Miss Margaret Mitchell’s plot construction and in the acting; whereas the boys would marvel at the settings, the architecture, and especially 23 the color photography. The drawback to the use of feature films taken from popular novels is the fact that the pro- ducers try to please the masses, thus frequently distorting the story and the characters as conceived by the author — the part interesting to education. Many other types of film have proved their usefulness for educational purposes. Sound films are being used for music appreciation and for studying the tech- niques used in playing various musical instruments. Even in the realm of social contacts children, studying human relations through films, recognize their own experiences and at ' empt to estab- lish better relations with society. The March of Time, which is made available to schools through membership in the Association of School Film libraries helps to teach government, economics, sociology, and human relations. Travel- ogues and newsreels also help to broad- en the experience of the student. School- rooms in dis ' ant, out-of-the-way places need no longer be isolated but may be connected with other parts of the world through the use of ' he travelogue. New Zealand may be brought to an Alaskan schoolroom; China, to one of our own community classes. The President’s address to Congress sheds a new light on the study of civics when a newsreel is used. In addition to the educational value of the subject mat ' er itself, there are modern devices which are not only tri- umphs in science and photography but which greatly increase the educational possibilities of motion pictures. The action similar to that of the growing of rees which takes place in nature over a period of time can now be compactly observed by the student by means of time-lapse photography. On the other hand action which occurs too rapidly for analysis may be slowed down for study in science and in physical educa- tion. Through slow motion photo- graphy the elasticity of glass under ter- rific strain may be studied. The strobo- scopic method of photography recently developed at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is another invaluable aid to study. A film consists of a series of images projected on a screen with such rapidity as to produce an object in mo- tion. In the stroboscopic method, con- trol of light rays enables the camera to catch an object in motion — ' he wing; of a humming-bird in flight for example — an achievement v hich without the stroboscope would not be possible. An interesting experiment was carried cn in Greenwich High School of Green- wich, Connecticut where a course was developed to make studen ' s more aware of the sociological, economic, and in- ternational aspects of the motion pic- ture. With the development of this course, other courses interlocked. The services of the English classes were en- lis ' ed to send out numerous letters for information on the subject. Elocution was utilized in making the necessary records to accompany the film. Literary 24 aspects, social problems, skills involved in motion picture production, appreci- ation — all were brought into :he course. For such schools as are following the course of study in motion pictures simi- lar to that of Greenwich High School the Museum of Modern Art Films Library, which was recently developed, has a series available on the history of films and other similar subjects. With an instructional sound motion picture presented in eleven minutes stu- dents can gather more material than from two or three hours of reading in a book of several hundred pages. More- over the modern iinstructional film makes it possible to present subjects in the class room which cannot be obtained through any other teaching device. Mr. John H. Hollingcr, Director of the De- partment of Science of Pittsburg, Penn- sylvania Public Schools considers that “Visual instruction aids in forming cor- rect concepts, challenges attention and stimulates interest; stimulates and con- trols imagination, accurate and reflec- tive thinking; develops appreciation of ethical, aesthetic, social, civic, and eco- nomic values; and widens the mental horizon.” A bulletin issued by the Masachusetts Department of Education declares that Philip J. Roulon of the Harvard Gradu- ate School of Education reported an in- crease of from twenty to forty per cent in the amount learned when pupils in science classes were shown supplemen- tary films and that Dr. V. C. Arnspiger of Teachers College, Columbia Univer- sity, reported an increase of twenty-six per cent in the amount learned in natural science and twenty-seven per cent in music classes when films were shown. This demonstrates the advantages of visual education by film over book. Just as the novel was shunned as un- suitable for a child in olden days so the film was frowned upon, and justly, a few years ago by many people. Recent developments in the industry, however, have demonstrated its value. Heahh departments and various organizations have acknowledged the fact that much can be gained through the use of film by stimulating pupils’ interest in phy- sical and men ' al hygiene. Teachers are recognizing the fact that educational films blend in with other material and help to clarify abstract data. Although audio-visual aids have their weaknesses, that is, :he lack of opportunity for dis- cussion during observation and in many cases the lack of training in observation, it is worthwhile to consider the benefits which may be derived from this modern form of education, for films can be used to great advantage in coordinating ma- terial learned and observed in life. This means of instruction sharpens the pu- pils’ powers of observation and puts new life into learning. The use of film provides the motive for learning and increasing the effectiveness of all class procedures; it is a means of ap- proach to an understanding of truth which is, after all, in a democratic country, the goal of all education. CLASS DAY PARTS HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1940 (By Richard Weagle) I N September of the year 1936 ap- proximately one hundred and twenty- five of us could be seen making our way toward what was then known as the Manning High School. After hanging up our coats and hats down stairs in the basement, we, who have now grown into the strength of man- hood and womanhood, climb ed our laborious way up several flights of well- worn stairs to that historic gathering place of all freshmen, the Study Hall. After taking time to get acquainted with our school chums and the high school way of doing things, we held several class meetings, the results of which determined our class officers for the year. Fred Emerson was our pres- ident; Everett Smith, vice-president; Russell Wile, treasurer; and Theresa Martel, secretary. Being modest and retiring freshmen, we did not, according to our class records, sponsor anything in the way of social activities. About the only thing of interest that happened to us was that in January, 1937, we made our eagerly awaited move from the an- tiquated Manning building into the new, modern Ipswich High School and spent the rest of our first year getting used to our up-to-date establishment. It was indeed soothing to our vanity to realize that for a ' ; least once in the high school history of Ipswich, freshmen were no greener than anybody else in school. Returning to school as sophomores after a short summer vacation, we held class elections and, with the exception of class secretary, we elected all new class officers with Steven Budzianowski, president; Muriel Horsman, vice-presi- dent; and Stuart Mansfield, treasurer. During our sophomore year we be- came a little more alive to the school events and elected for our representative as Queen of the Snows at the Snow Carnival Theresa Martel. Though we didn’t win the contest for snow queen, we gave the winning juniors quite a run for their money. We did win, however, through the efforts of Everett Smith and Muriel Horsman the plaque signifying winter sports supremacy. We also had a sophomore picnic in June at Sandy Point and though the water was extremely chilly, some of the braver members of the class went in swimming while the rest lolled about the beach, played games, and enjoyed themselves generally. Everett Smith brought down upon his head the wrath of the chaperons when he announced that he had instructed the captain of the boat not to return for us until late that evening. 26 There was little else of importance that happened in our sophomore year and before long we were off again on our summer vacation. Election of officers for our junior year saw our president of the previous year returned to office, but as vice-pres- ident we elected Gardiner Wood; as treasurer, Walter Machaj; and as secre- tary, Marion Ciolek. Since we had now been in high school for two years, the time was drawing near for us to assert ourselves in a big way with rings, prom, etc. As part of our growing class consciousness we felt the need of identifying ourselves by a choice of maroon and white as our class colors. Soon after, heated debates on the sub- ject of a “prom” were the order of the day. Though Mrs. Merson’s fingers may have been worn thin by constant repetition of “Our Director” and other familiar march tunes on the piano and though we ourselves were footsore and weary from marching around the audi- torium, the prom, as usual, was a suc- cess both artistically and financially. Clashes of opinion a tended the choice of a class ring also. But finally, in the traditional American democratic way, we chose a tiger ' s head for the design, leaving it to the individual to choose between a ring with or without a stone. The junior year slipped quickly by and soon we were returning again for our summer vacation for what was, we hoped, our final year of high school life. For class officers we kept our president for his third successive year. We also elected as vice-president Muriel Hors- man, who had held the same office in our sophomore year. Other officers elected were Russell Wile as treasurer, who had held the same office in our freshman year, and Marion Ciolek as secretary for her second successive year. We now as seniors took upon our- selves the responsibility of starting the social ball whirling by giving a Hal- lowe’en barn dance. Cart wheels, pump- kins, etc. furnished the atmosphere, a nickelodeon supplied the music, and everybody contributed to the fun and entertainment, with honorable mention going to Mrs. Lord and Mr. Conary for their share in providing the latter. Although Eddie Blaisdell, Everett Smith, and I, made up three quarters of the cast in a Christmas assembly, the next event of real importance to the class as a whole was the senior play, “Button Button,” a comedy in three acts presented March 28. The leading roles were taken by Everett Smith as the psychopathic “Button” and Cecelia Sikora as Josie, the maid, who was in love with and finally got the “Button.” Gertrude Barney played to perfection the role of Mrs. Woodhouse, the wife of “Button’s” half-brother George, who was por: rayed by myself. Mrs. Wood- house had a unique system of her own 27 for curing “Button’s” insanity, and to help her in this she enlisted the aid of Rita Weed and her daughter Phoebe Weed. Rita, an “antique nut,” was well characterized by Grace Jahnke, and Phoebe, a “horribly modern girl,” was played by Eleanor Wallace. The parts of Maude and Emery, the maid and the chauffeur respectively, were played by Helen Column and Charles Ar ' .hur, while the parts of Ed and Al, a pair of teamsters, were well interpreted by Ar- thur Oliver and Edward Blaisdell. There were some minor mishaps. The antique chair broke before it was supposed to even though Smitty had taken a day off from school to work on the problem over at shop. (We suspect collusion.) And no one could blame Eddie Blaisdell for grumbling a ' : Smitty for cutting him out of a good share of his few speeches. The play also proved to be the downfall of Ar- thur Oliver, for ever since his heavy role — he had to bring in the wash stand — he has had aspirations to tread the boards and become a real actor. After the play was over, the cap and gown fight, which itself is fast becom- ing a tradition in I. H. S., started. The opponents of the idea were again out- voted and so we appear before you today in the academic robes and mortar boards. We hope they are as easy on your eyes as they were on our pocket- books. And now that we have come to the first great milestone of our career, though saddened by the thought that we are cutting loose from old ties and friendship, we are consoled by the thought that these days have not gone irrevocably but that they can be, and often will be, retrieved in memory. So much for the backward view. Let us look ahead now to the future. CLASS PROPHECY Time: 1960. Place: Insurance office in Boston. Characters: Theresa Martel. Russell Wile. Theresa Martel is discovered busy at desk. Russell Wile enters and goes to desk. THERESA. Good morning, what can I do for you? RUSSELL. I’d like to speak to :he manager. THERESA. I’m sorry but Mr. Barnes hasn’t been in all morning. But if you wish, you may leave your name for a definite appointment. RUSSELL. Thank you very much. My name is Russell Wile. THERESA. (Thoughtfully) Rus- sell Wile. You wouldn ' t by any chance be “Bo Bo” Wile of the class of 1940 would you? RUSSELL. Why, yes, I am, but I didn’t expect to be called by that nick- name here. How do you happen to know it? 28 THERESA. I ought to after the hours we spent together working on the prophecy for the class of 1940. I should have recognized you before, “Bo Bo, because you really haven’t changed much. I don’t believe you’ve grown more than an inch. RUSSELL. Then you must be Theresa Martel. Come to think of it, you do look the same. Twenty years have been kind to you. Have you kept in touch with your pal, Marion Ciolek all Tese years? THERESA. Oh yes, Marion is private secretary to the firm of J. H. Blake, Inc. Sit down here, Bo Bo and tell me all you know about our classmates. RUSSELL. Well, at Coney Island where I went last week to relax for a day or so, I ran into Dick Weagle who, with Millard Austin, has recently opened a new bowling alley there. With his silk hat and cane he looked quite prosperous. THERESA. Speaking of prosper- ity — Marion and I went to New York one week end recently and heard Hazel MacKinnon, Rowley’s contribution to the operatic world, sing at the Metro- politan Opera Co. Like all opera singers, she had put on weight and made an impressive soprano. We went backstage to see Hazel and learned Tat Mary Saroka was her private costume designer. Hazel reported th 2 t Eleanor Gallant broadcasts recipes on a program sponsored by the Machaj Bros. Bever- age Co. RUSSELL. Well! well! so she’s on the radio too! I happened to listen to the Lone Ranger sketch one night and was I surprised when it was an- nounced Tat Ted Marshall was writing the sketches; Reggie Wood was playing the part of the Lone Ranger ; and George Fairbanks was Tonto, his faithful Indian guide. After listening to the radio, I starred looking over the New York Times which is now edited by Roland Morin. Alfred Gillis is his chief distributing agent. On the advertising page I noticed that Lucille Perkins was offer- ing her Master Rocket for sale. I under stand it is geared to such high speed that she has difficulty in insuring it. THERESA. Yes, Lucille has been in here several times for an insurance policy, but the Company doesn’t care to take the risk. RUSSELL. Then turning over to the sporting page, whose pictures should I see staring me in the face but Alex Sweenie’s and Walt Jadul’s! Alex has entered the finals in the National Open Golf tournament, while Walt is the regular shortstop on the world’s champs New York Yankees. Laura Bernier was represented on the paper as the con- ductor of the lovelorn column. THERESA. You probably know that Omar Tremblay is the manager of the Strand theatre. Both Joe Galazka 2 nd Ted Rygielski are working in the projection room and Charlie Bailey, our class clown, entertains the audience twice weekly with a vaudeville act. 29 RUSSELL. So Bailey is still clown- ing, is he? Say, do you happen to know about any of our other class cele- brities? THERESA. Well, Charles LeBlanc, our class woman-ha ' er, now owns and operates a harem in India and is sur- rounded by a bevy of beautiful blondes, brunettes, and redheads. RUSSELL. Redheads — that re- minds me of “Eddie” Blaisdell and Doris O’Malley. “Ed” is now running a hardware store of his own in Beverly with Helen Collum as his bookkeeper; and Doris and “Ted” Merry are now surrounded by a happy group of little redheads. THERESA. Another member of our class who has gone down the “middle aisle” is Eileen Torpey, who is now residing in Hamilton. And Helen Hayman has become a very capable Cook (e) . RUSSELL. There’s one fellow that I would like very much to know about and that’s “S ' eve” Budzianow- ski. THERESA. Oh yes! I should have told you that he and Muriel Hors- man are the gym teachers at our alma mater. RUSSELL. Well, that’s good news in more ways than one. The school must be proud of them. THERESA. I imagine it is, and another one doing duty in the school depar ' ment is George Demetrakopoulos — he’s the truant officer. And a strict one, from all accounts. RUSSELL. Oh, before I forget it here’s the addresses of Jennie Galanis and Bessie Polychronopoulos; they are talent scouts for Warner Bros. So if you happen to see any possible movie talent just get in touch wi ' h them. THERESA. Hold on, now. That reminds me that Virginia Galanis is an- other whose fame has gone beyond the limits of her home town. She is an in- terior decorator who has just redecor- ated the White House in Washington and you must have noticed, too, that Eleanor Wallace appeared prominently in the news as campaign manager for the country’s nominee for President of the United States, Gardiner Wood. Oh, and “Tony” Klos is the chief caretaker at the governor’s mansion. RUSSELL: Although many of the class remained close to Ipswich, others besides Weagle and Austin have ven- tured to New York, for “Chickie” Sikora and “Toni” Waranowski run the exquisite “Parisien Dress Shoppe” on Fifth Avenue. Sophie Surpicki is a waitress at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel in Times Square. Also in New York is Kay Player who is secretary in the New York office of Player’s Coast to Coast Express. THERESA: The last time I re- visted Ipswich I went through the Cable Memorial Hospital to see how it looked after it had been remodeled. The guide that took me around was our own Ruth Hovey who is one of the regular day nurses. Ruth told me that Dr. Mary Smolenski, the world’s renowned 30 woman surgeon, was in the operating room performing a very delicate opera- ion on a freshman’s brain. She was having some difficulty locating it, I understand. RUSSELL: The mention of Mary made me think of her school chum, Alice Reed who is now employed in the Salem Hospital, and I have also heard that “Gert” Barney is the chief dietician at the hospital. By the way, do you happen to know what “Ger ' ’s” friend, Grace Jahnke, is doing? THERESA. Why, sure, Grace and “Art” Oliver have the leading roles in the 1960 ultra streamlined version of Shakespeare’s immortal “Romeo and Juliet.” Both Grace and “Art” re- ceived their impetus to act from being in the senior play. RUSSELL: Oh, I say, here’s a funny one. About five years after graduation “Al” Aponas found hat he had finally grown enough to get into the U. S. Navy: so into the Navy he went. Another one of the boys, Ever- ett Smith by name, is playing his big horn in the U. S. Navy Band. THERESA. Another musically in- clined member of the class, “Whoopee” Nicholson is now playing second fiddle in the Philadelphia Philharmonic Or- chestra. RUSSELL. You know with my ' elevision set it surely is fun to be able to see “Charlie” Arthur when he is giving out weather reports from the Boston Office of the U. S. Weather Bureau. Some days I can also see Carol Cummings, who is “Charlie’s” assist- ant, working feverishly over a varied assortment of charts, maps, etc. One evening recently after the weather reports the news flashes announced that Her- bert MacKinney, an officer in the Coast Guard, had nearly lost his life when he fell overboard. Had it not been for “Herb’s” excess weight which kept him afloat until help came, he probably would have been a “goner.” THERESA. If I remember right, I think it was Leon Dorr who was very much interested in radio and television, wasn’t he? RUSSELL. Yes, Leon was, but roller skating has been his favorite oc- cupation since school days. He won renown as the first coast to coast — Bos- ton to California — roller skater. THERESA. Have you heard about Edward Michon? After the last war, “Eddie,” who is a foreign diplomat, went abroad and was entrusted with the task of reconstructing a war-torn Europe. He is succeeding, too, as he naturally would at anything. Why, “Bo Bo” you haven’t even told me what you are doing yourself. RUSSELL. Oh, me. I’m president bf the American Rocket Line that oper- ates between here and Mars. I came here to have my insurance policy re- newed with Mr. Barnes. And do you know that I have two A-No. 1 host- esses working for me in Angela Vlahos and Helen Zervas. Both of these girls have private rockets of their own too. Helen old me that “Tucky” Pappas 31 has his own fishing schooner and that Gloucester is his home port. THERESA. I was walking to the office the other day, and as I strode past a cab stand, a voice hailed me, and when I turned around, I saw Fred Em- erson, our handsome man, sitting behind the steering wheel of a cab. Fred informed me that Stuart Mansfield has settled down and is running a pros- perous farm situated in the once flaming “Firetown” and that Charlie Leet is now managing a new A U P. RUSSELL. I also discovered that Irene Belanger, one of our quiet mem- bers, is now running an information bureau right here in Boston with the assistance of Ethel Markos; and Flor- ence Markos has issued an influential pamphlet entitled “Silence is Golden.” Fotis Sotiropoulos and “Steve” Costo- poulos run a shoe store right down here on Boylston Street. Have you heard what Jeanette Cronin and Mildred Michon are doing? THERESA. Oh yes, Jeanette has followed up her art career and is now teaching at the Boston Academy — Academy — That makes me think of Eleanor Peatfield. You know Eleanor won the Academy award — RUSSELL. Dont’ tell me she — THERESA. Oh no, I don’t mean “Oscar,” the theatrical award. This one was presented to her by Dummer Academy in Byfield. And “Milly” is using her golden hair to demonstrate the latest coiffures especially arranged by Doritt MacLeod. RUSSELL. I happened to come across Jennie Baroway’s name in the paper the other day. She manufactures self-steering bicycles, guaranteed to avoid all au ' os, trucks, tanks, and other dangerous vehicles. Another member engaged in big business is Alma Lind- holm who has put Wrigley out of the running by her manufacture and sale of chewing gum. Well, here I’ve wasted almost an hour of your time reminis- cing over the fate of our classmates. THERESA. I shouldn’t call it ex- actly wasted. I certainly have never enjoyed such a pleasant morning. RUSSELL. Well, Theresa, it’s been great having this little conversation with you, but I can’t keep you from your work any longer. If you don’t mind, I should appreciate it very much if you told Mr. Barnes that I will call again tomorrow. THERESA. It’s been nice seeing you too, “Bo Bo” and I’m sorry that you have to leave so soon. Tomorrow is my day off, so I probably won’t see you then. RUSSELL. Good-bye, Theresa. THERESA. Good-bye, “Bo Bo,” and drop in again sometime. GIFTS TO GIRLS by Alexander A. Sweenie W HILE glancing through a news- paper the other day, my eyes fell upon the strange advertisement of an auction sale, strange in that it stated 32 frankly and honestly that nothing was cheap and that everything was worth- less. Thinking that this would be a swell place to get some expensive gifts for the girls, I quickly got into my aeroplane and hopped over. The auc- tion was nearly finished when I arrived, but I managed to get what I wanted. As I said before, it was a strange auc- tion and I was not surprised to find that I was the only one there. Naturally with all the competition I had to pay quite a sum for each gift. The following list I made out for you because I thought you wouldn’t be interested: For Gertrude Barney, I bought a very expensive antique automobile of the “T” model because I had heard that she liked this particular type of car very much. For Jennie Baroway, who likes to ride her bicycle, one wheel spoke. For Lillian Benischek, who tap dances, a pair of taps. For “Lu Lu” Bernier, the song en- titled “Oh! Johnny, Oh!” For Irene Belanger, a coupe in which to go riding with Rodney. For “Pepper” MacLeod, I secured an automatic dress designer which consists of a pencil. (All she has to do is draw the design she wants: the rest is auto- matic. What could be simpler?) For Marion Ciolek, some very choice “Bucky” shot. For Helen Collum, who wants to be a secretary, a slightly used pad and pencil. For Jeanette (“Tomboy”) Cronin, a baseball bat. For Jennie Galanis, who likes to yodel, a cowboy to teach her. For Virginia Galanis, who wants to be an interior decorator, a can of red paint. For Eleanor Gallant, a seed catalogue so that she may make a good “Gard- iner.” For Helen Hayman, an old-fashioned Cook (ie) jar. For “Moo” Horsman, a blank record on which she may preserve the rah, rah, rahs of good old Ipswich High. For “Ginger” Hovey, a roll of film with which she may take more pictures of herself. For Grace Jahnke, who wants to be a secretary to an M. D., a bottle of med- icine. For Alma Lindholm, a fountain pen so that Dick may use his own in peace. For Rita MacKinnon, who wants to be an opera singer, a throat atomizer, (a “flit” gun) . For Ethel Markos, who is the class manhater, an onion to keep the boys away. For Florence Markos, who wants to be a nurse, a doll for a patien . 33 For Theresa Martel, a “Billy” club. For Mildred Michon, a lemon rinse for her beautiful blonde hair. For Doris O’Malley, a very strong leash to keep Ted in tow. For Eleanor Peatfield, who wants to be rich, a lead nickel with which to open a bank account. For Lucille Perkins, a “Teddy” bear. For Kathryn Player, a song to sing with “Singer.” For Adele Poirier, because of her ac- complishments in domestic science, a needle and thread. For Bessie Polychronopoulos, a pair of stilts. For “Bubbles” Reed, who wants to be a nurse, a hot-water bottle. For Mary Saroka, who also wants to be a secretary, a slightly used typewriter ribbon. For “Chickie” Sikora, a ticket to Beverly. For Sophie Surpicki, a jitter-bug doll. For Mary Smolenski, who has hopes of being a surgeon, a roll of adhesive tape with which to patch up her patients. For Eileen Torpey, an airplane to get to town more easily. For Angelo Vlahos, who wants to be an airplane hostess, a plane for prac- tice flights. For Eleanor Wallace, who intends to be President of the U. S. A., a copy of the Constitution. For Helen Zervas, a doll for a danc- ing partner. For Antonia Waranowski, a bag of “Peanuts.” And now, as the used car dealer said to me the other day, “Good buy.” GIFTS TO BOYS by Lucille Perkins Y ESTERDAY afternoon, having nothing to do as usual, I decided to go down to the “Club” — that’s Hol- land’s store in case you haven’t heard — to keep Babe company as she worked. After vain attempts to accommodate my anatomy to a milkcase, a tonic case, and one of the counters, I finally became comfortable on a waste basket, but only long enough to remember I had shop- ping to do. That shopping, of course, was to gather together some gifts for these handsome boys. Not having time to get down town to go scouting around, I decided to take a chance on Holland’s which carries in stock every- thing from a needle to an anchor. While I was looking casually around, in came a customer and ordered some ham. That struck me right then and there as an ideal gift for “Ballsey Barry- more” Oliver, who has great aspiration] 34 of being an actor. Remember his great dramatic role in the Senior Play? Here, Barrymore, come get your ham. Well! I couldn’t wait for another customer to come in before I discovered something else; so I made out a list of the names of these so-called men and set to work ransacking the store with Babe behind me, making sure I got away with nothing. After a tiring hour or so, I left the store for home with my bundles. I went to bed last night, got up this morning, and here I am now to dis- tribute my gifts. This set of hair bows will set off Charlie Leet’s hair beautifully. Walt Jadul will look just “too sweet’’ in this little frilly apron as he works in the kitchen with his “Cooke.’’ Reggie Wood, our “glamour and oomph’’ boy, can use this box of facial powder to enhance his glamour and oomph. “Chickie’’ neglected to save Sw eenie one of her class pictures; so here’s one I found on the floor of the store which evidently was dropped by a Beverly tonic dealer. Here, Alex, now do you feel better? Stewie Mansfield, self appointed mayor of “Firetown,” can use this little badge to maintain or restore order up there on dark nights. This bottle of “pop” is for Tony Nickolson so he can make whoopee. Fotis Sotiropoulos wants to be a traveler, but first may I suggest that you discard those famous leather heels for these little noiseless ones, Fotis. Herb MacKinney can use this yacht to take Marion on a nice long cruise — - up Ipswich River. Charlie LeBlanc, who believes in be- ing seen and not heard should make just one little bit of noise before he leaves school; so how about a toot on this horn, Charlie? When Gardiner Wood calls on his gal, they sit and listen to the radio all evening. Maybe this week’s issue of “Liberty’’ will liven them up a bit. “Bo-Bo’’ Wile, who has been our class treasurer for two years, must have quite a bit of money gathered together. Here’s a little money bag, Bo, to keep all that coin in. Our roller skating king, “Linkey’’ Dorr, can use this pillow in case he loses track of his ups and downs. “Tucky,’’ after long hikes to New- buryport and Amesbury nights, some- times forgets to attend school the next day. This box of aspirin is the thing for those hangovers, “Tuck.” This little doll is for “Budgy’’ as a reminder of the little freshman girl he is leaving behind. Charlie Bailly, our funny man, should find in this comic book some new ideas or jokes to spring on innocent victims. 35 This little “Scottie” is for A1 Gillis when things are “Grey.” Rollie Morin has a difficult time fol- lowing “Lu-lu” around; maybe this little car of his own will aid him in getting up her way more often. Freddie Emerson, our best looking boy, receives this kite to fly, thus en- abling him to keep his feet flat on the ground. This jar of “Pickles” is for Walt Machaj. He can share them with “Bucky” in grateful appreciation of the introduction. Ed Blaisdell is thinking of buying a car; maybe this can of red paint will present “hard wear” and make it look snappy when Eleanor is out riding with him. To Joe Galazka and Ted Rygielski go these hammers to remind them of the work they did as stage managers of the Senior Play. This pair of glasses should aid Dick Weagle as he scrutinizes Ann Corio with an admiring eye from “Nigger Heaven.” This little watch is for Ted Merry so that his mother won’t notice the dis- appearance of his other one. This card of buttons is for Everett Smi ' h to remind him of his role in the Senior Play. Eddie Michon, our star pupil, re- ceives this dunce cap. At least we feel better now, Ed. We don ' t know much about Millard Austin’s private life except that he goes to Salem quite a bit. This little air- plane should save him “Mille-cent.” This little duck will remind Charlie Arthur of his “Mallard.” Omer Tremblay, with his beautiful curly hair, may need this comb when he comes home from a tiring journey of scouting “pick-ups.” This notebook is for Carroll Cum- mings. Of course, we don’t expect him ever to fill it with English notes; he can use it to “doodle” in. Ted Marshall, who is likely to soil his hands when he works in Perley’s garden, should wear these rubber gloves. Demetrakopoulos spent so much time in I. H. S. this year that even though he is graduating we know he will appre- ciate a key to the building so that he may come and go as he pleases. This little telephone is for Georgie Fairbanks to call Ipswich as often as he pleases free of charge. I hunted all through the s ' ore for gifts for the last three of our young men — “Al” Aponas, who is about four feet eight inches tall, “Stevie” Costo- poulos, who shells out the bi-valves by the million, and Tony Klos, who is everyone’s handy man. But gosh! I couldn’t find anything sui ' able except these masks so that they may continu? to keep us in the dark as to their private lives. 36 This is not free advertising for Hol- land’s, but in case anybody is interested, I will say that in spi ' e of these generous offerings to the boys, I did not quite clean out the store. I hope you fellows arc all happy.

A. A. 1. 2, 3. 4; Commercial Club 4. 43 LAURA BERNIER Laura came to us in our senior year from Biddeford, Maine. Her ready smile and sparkling eyes make her a welcome addition. Although she joined us late in her high school career, she has taken an active part in clubs and social activities. A. A. 4; Commercial Club 4; Glee Club 4. IRENE BELANGER Irene or “A Soeur” is a chum of Janet. Their bubbling laughter can usually be heard along the cor- ridors.

EDWARD BLAISDELL “Eddie ' ’ is our class musician whose trombone solos have delighted many of the concert lovers. He received honorable mention for both “Class Actor” and “Best- dressed Boy . “Red” did not enter into sports until his senior year when he proved an asset to our championship football team.

LILLIAN BENISCHEK “Lillian” is one of the fifty-four students who arrives at I. H. S. each morning on the Rowley bus and leaves each afternoon for that wilderness and her friends. She is athletic and if she isn’t participating in a sport, she is somewhere in the Ipswich section of the bleachers cheering her comrades on to victory. A. A. 4; Cub Staff: Tiger Staff: Commercial Club 4; Science Club 4 ; Basketball 1 . 44 GERTRUDE BARNEY “Trudy” is famous for her smile which rarely stops there but bubbles into silvery laughter.

CHARLES BAILLY “Charlie” is our class clown and certainly outdid himself to attain this position. Although he lives out in the country, he is an ardent supporter of all our athletic and school activities. Charlie is one of those people that can make even the teacher smile. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 3; Class Clown. CHARLES LeBLANC Charles is the quiet type whose lack of interest in the opposite sex won him the title of class woman hater. He is never seen running but walks along at a fast clip which covers much ground, especially from the school to Washington Street. A. A. 1, 4; Woman Hater. 45 CARROLL CUMMINGS “Aba’’ is one of our studious boys when he knows the assignments, and many times in the English Class he could be heard to remark: “Gee! did we have that for homework?” He created quite a mystery one day when his books were found in the basement, and he himself did not turn up until a whole week later. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Latin Club 3, 4; French Club 4. HELEN COLLUM ‘“Collie” has chosen many worthwhile activities for school days. She particularly endeared herself to us all when she so ably took the part of Maudie. the cook, in the senior play. Her friendliness has won her many friends, but the greatest of these is “Ginger,” who co- operates with her in many playful pranks. A. A. 1, 2, 3. 4; Basketball 4: Com.

His pastime is clamming, since he is a lover of fresh air and salt water. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4: Shop Club. MARION CIOLEK “Marion” has been a very competent secretary of our class for two years. She also has been working hard on the “Tiger” and “Cub” Staffs, and almost any afternoon may be seen typing or using the mimeograph machine for some teacher or for the “Cub.” She loves her work and is easy to get along with because of her sunny op- timism and a cheerful remark when everyone else is in the dumps.

GEORGE DEMETRAKOPOULOS “The Baron’’, as George is familiarly called, may be fittingly described by two adjectives, merry and friendly. His sly humor is one of his prime characteristics, and his startling remarks have made him famous. Furthermore, his ability as an artist is noteworthy. His spare time is passed in the shop, fashioning some book-ends or a table. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Class Artist; Shop Club 3. LEON DORR “Linky” is another one of our shoppies who, we hear, is a skilled mechanic. He is very much interested in metal working and has produced many tools and ac- cessories from the shop machinery. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 3. FRED EMERSON Fred is the best-looking boy of our class and well deserves the title. Although he lives in Rowley, he has at least one interest in Ipswich. He is the first half of that inseparable team of Emerson and Fairbanks. Where one is seen, the other is usually not far away. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Varsity Club 4; Football Letterman ; Class President 1; Baseball 4; Best-looking boy. 47 GEORGE FAIRBANKS “Choug” is another one of those Rowleyites who are seen often in Ipswich.

JANE GALANIS “Jane”, although a quiet, ambitious member of our class, has a mischievous twinkle in her eye. She hopes to be a secretary; and we are certain she will be a successful one, judging from her skill in typing and in taking dic- tation. Jane is also interested in sports, especially basket- ball and was a member of the senior team. A. A. Com- mercial Club; Basketball 1; Science Club 1. VIIRGINIA GALANIS “Virgie” is kindness itself to everybody and there- fore is very popular wiith her classmates.

A. A; President Commercial Club; Basketball 1, 2. JOSEPH GALAZKA “Cappy” is a studious individual who has worked hard during his four years in high school.

He is seen quite often in a ’34 Ford coupe head- ing for Essex and Gloucester. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 1,2; Basketball 1 ; Baseball 1, 2. ELEANOR GALLANT “El” is one of the most popular girls in our class with a cheery smile for everyone which, no doubt, partly accounts for her popularity. “El” likes all sports es- pecially football. She is also no mean dancer. A. A.; French Club 4; Treas. Girls’ Glee Club; Treas. Home Economics Club; Science Club 1. HELEN HAYMAN Helen is an attractive blue-eyed blonde w ' ho hails from Rowley.

She and Gert Barney .re inseparable, having form ed one of those rare friend- ships which make high school life so pleasant. As a frequenter of Connecticut auctions in the senior play she found favor with the audience if not with her victim. Button. A.

A. A. 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 3; Baseball 1. 2; Basketball 3. 50 CHARLES LEET “Flash” has lately been working in the A. P. store as a clerk under his father. Perhaps the good super- vision he has had something to do with his industry. His interest in grocery stores is extensive and includes Prentiss’ store also, where he may often be seen. Perhaps he as- pires to ownership of such a store someday. Who knows? A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Glee Club 3; Shop Club 3. ALMA LINDHOLM “Lindy,” after one year with us, tried Revere High School but came back to Ipswich for her senior year — and were we glad to have her! Her pranks and the laughter which always follows, although they have been a nuisance to many teachers, have served to keep us amused and awake. A. A. 1, 4; Glee Club 1; Reading Club; Science Club 1. THEODORE MERRY “Ted” is another student whose habitat is Rowley. He and “Teddy” are great friends and although he isn’t shy, his blushes might lead the casual observer to believe he is. Male member of our official pair of Class Lovers. He has been a member of the A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 2. HERERT MACKINNEY “Herbie”, whose pleasing chuckle is heard only on rare occasions, is the quietest member of the class. His main interest seems to be in going up and down the river which probably accounts for the fact that he intends to join either the Coast Guard or the Navy. He is well liked not only by his classmates but by every one who knows him. Member A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 1; Manager Baseball 2. 51 STUART MANSFIELD “Stewie” is our class baby, but don’t let this title fool you, for he is a football letterman. In fact he has earned two letters.

ROLAND MORIN It may be said of Morin that he has a shrewd perspicacious mind which won him a place on the honor roll this year. Every second of his time is utilized, for he is either delivering newspapers, studying, or zooming about as if he were the busiest man in town. Occasionally, however, he does manage to snatch a few spare moments during which he delights in pondering over a choice physics problem. Roland has hopes of becoming an engineer someday, a builder of bridges and mansions. A.

MILDRED MICHON “Millie is one of our athletic girls and was elected captain of the senior basketball team.

DORRIT MACLEOD “Dotty” always has an enticing smile which during the past year has been levelled principally at “Ginger .

A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Sf?op Club 2. 53 EDWARD MICHON “Eddie ' ’ is, without a doubt, the most outstanding member of our class, the list of his activities and such reading like the absence list on a very rainy day. He has been a member of the Athletic Association for four years, being elected President in his fourth year. “Eddie”, who is popular with every member of the class, was voted the title of best-dressed boy, class author, poet, orator, blusher, the one most likely to succeed, and the one who has done the most for the school. Among other things he has been a member of the Science Club; Latin Club 2, 3. 4: Boys’ Glee Club 1, 2, 3. 4; French Club 4; “Cub” Staff 3, 4; Tiger Staff 4. He was treasurer of the Latin Club 3; President of the French Club 4; Editor-in- Chief of the “Cub’’ 4; and Editor of the “Tiger.” DORIS O’MALLEY “Babe,” along with Ted Merry, was elected class lover. “Babe” is our one and only red head and is very popular with everybody. She has served on many com- mittees, and no small part of the credit for the success of the senior play is due her for her invaluable assistance in collecting properties. A. A.; Class Celebrity; Class Lovers; Glee Club; Girls’ Choir WALTER MACHAJ “Doodle” was elected as our class athlete and justly deserves this title.

Still, like “Smitty , he might be capable of playing a dual role. He is a football letterman and has been a member of the A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 2, 3: and Varsity Club 4. ARTHUR OLIVER Arthur, who hopes someday to outdo John Barry- more, aspires to be an actor. He is better known for his ability to do physics problems which oftentimes proves valuable to many members of his physics class.

ARNOLD PAPPAS “Tucky”, whose main ambition is to be an air- plane pilot, is the Beau Brummel and Casanova of the class. His winning smile has caused many feminine hearts to flutter. Besides dancing, he likes to stay up late, but this does not seem to hamper him during the football and basketball season, for he has been holding down the guard position on the Varsity football team for the past three years and was a member of this year’s basketball team. Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 2, 3,; A. A. 1, 2, 3 4. KATHRYN PLAYER “Kay,” besides being an excellent clarinetist and a songster in our girls’ glee club, has been an active, con- genial member of our class.

She is almost always to be seen with Liberty laughing and talking over the latest. A. A.; Girls’ Choir; Girls’ Glee Club. BESSIE POLYCHRONOPOULOS “Polly” is a marvel at shorthand, and the person that becomes her boss will certainly have a “pot o’ gold”. As a basketball participant she keeps herself trim and makes a good showing. Her small stature enables her to dash in and out of the smallest places. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Science Club 1; Commercial Club 4; Girls’ Basketball. LUCILLE PERKINS “Perk,” besides being popular, musical, and athletic is a writer gifted with an imagination, as was seen when the class chose her to give the gifts to boys.

She and “Pat” have been inseparable companions during high school days, and we hope this friendship will net be brok- en by parting at graduation. A. A. 3, 4; French Club 4; Home Economics Club 1; Science Club 1. TEDDY RYGIELSKI Ted is very much interested in mechanics and machinery of every kind. Much of his leisure is passed tinkering over some discarded generator or magnetor. Every noontime sees him chatting with Cummings, for the two are congenial companions. Well-liked by all, he proved himself to be a valuable member of our class by his work as stage manager of the senior olay. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 2, 3. MARY SMOLENSKI “Pat” is a very special librarian and tries hard to keep the study hall cleaned up but — those freshmen ! She is “Bubbles’ ” shadow, or vice versa. Having a true so- prano voice, she has been a helpful addition to the glee club and choir since she joined. She also loves sports and believes something should be done to bring more girls’ sports into the high school. A.

EVERETT SMITH “Smitty”, strange to relate, was voted our class pessimist but received honorable mention as class optimist. Such an anomaly points to the conclusion either that some confusion exists in the minds of the class members as to the meaning of the terms or that Smitty is successful in playing a dual role. Probably the latter is true since he was also voted class actor, claiming the latter title as a member of the cast in our sophomore English play, a Christmas assembly, and the senior play. He has been a member of the school band for nine years. He is well liked by his classmates and will, no doubt, make a name for himself in Uncle Sam’s Navy. He is a football letter- man and was manager of this year’s basketball team. Member of Orchestra 1 , 2, 3, 4 ; A.

He is a chap of industrious habits and serious appearance. Quiet and dignified by nature, he puts our more boisterous members to shame. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 3 years; Science Club 1. MARY SAROKA “Ditto” has swept and cooked through four years of domestic science preparing herself for someone whom we don’t know as yet. Miss Whitney’s constant tasks for her show that she is industrious and can be depended upon. A. A. 3, 4; Commercial Club 4. ALEXANDER SWEENIE Sweenie, our class optimist, will never be caught by forgetting the seemingly insignificant points, for he pays the greatest attention to the smallest details. He was shocked nearly to death when, upon being elected to dis- tribute gifts among the girls, he was told that he would have to pay for them himself. Although he seems bash- ful, he is quite the contrary, as some of the girls will testify. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball Letterman 4. CECELIA SIKORA “Chickie” has been quite busy during high school days as we note by the list of her activities. Disregarding all the titles bsetowed upon her, we find her in real life a young lady with a charming, if coquettish, personality, a pleasant voice, and talent in acting and in basketball.

Incidentally we heard that she won a jitterbug prize. Just to show that her brains are not all in her feet, how- ever, we should mention that her school work has not suffered, and she has taken an active interest in extra cur- ricula activities. A.

OMAR TREMBLAY If we had the title of “Class Glamour Boy” Omar, often the object of feminine wiles, would win it by an overwhelming vote. One may usually observe him chatting with Austin and Smith or testing a new fountain pen to see whether it will actually write. He is one of our re- liable printers who prints all the programs for school activities. A. A. 4 yrs; Glee Club 4; Varsity Club 2, 3, 4; Shop Club 2, 3; Football Letterman 2, 3, 4.

She was chosen as the “most dignified” senior and represented our class in Boston as the most outstanding girl in the class. She made an excellent Phoebe in our senior play with her “spiritually dyed dress.” “Cam” was on almost all of the committees and took part in all class meetings. Her calm, sane arguments were instrumental in turning the vote for caps and gowns. A. A. 1, 2, 4; Most dignified; Latin Club 2; Glee Club 2; Tiger Staff; Senior Play; Basketball 1, 2, 4.

GARDINER WOOD At first it might be apparent that Gardiner is our class clown, but one mustn’t forget Charlie Bailly. “Gardie” always has a shy grin on his face that betrays him whenever mischief is afoot. His clownish antics kept the senior mathematics class from becoming mad as some mathematicians have become. His list of accom- plishments shows him to be an active fellow. A.

His hobby is pouring over maps, constructing air- plane and ship models, and debating over current events. His ambition is to join the United States Navy and learn the machinist’s trade. We feel sure that if his assiduity persists, he will make a success. A. A. 1, 2, 3, 4; Tiger Staff 4, Science Club 1. RICHARD WEAGLE Richard, by no means a recluse, is a favorite with everyone. His congenial and fun-loving disposi tion must be one of the reasons for his attraction to Alma. During his spare time he is completely lost in his hobby, bowling.

SPORTS REVIEW Football T HE Ipswich High football team had one of the best years in the history of either Manning or Ipswich High School. The team was one of the few undefeated teams in the state. There is probably no doubt in anyone’s mind that the individual star of the team was Captain “Jo-Jo” Robishaw. The team also drew the greatest at- tendance on record, especially at the Danvers game. The boys, moreover, showed great defensive strength in per- mitting but nineteen points to be scored on them, and they themselves scored the 64 impressive total of one hundred and ninety-eight points. O ' her than “Jo-Jo” Robishaw, the players who helped the team consider- ably were “Walt” Machaj, “Steve” Budzianowski, “Red” Tremblay, Cap- tain-elect Carl D ' Agnese, Bill Pardckas, Arnold Pappas, and “Pete” Stamatakos The 1939 schedule and results ap- pear as follows: Ipswich 7 Haverhill 0 Ipswich 12 Swampscott 0 Ipswich 20 Danvers 7 Ipswich 45 Reading 12 Ipswich 34 Howe 0 Ipswich 26 . ... Somerville Vocational 0 Ipswich 13 St. John ' s (Danvers) 0 Ipswich 41 Story (Manchester) 0 During the Christmas holiday, the lettermen of the football team were re- warded by the Boston Sports Writers’ As ociation with a banquet at the Hotel Lenox, an honor ex ' ended for the sec- ond successive year to a championship team. Basketball T HE Ipswich High basketball team after a dull start came Trough in a true Ipswich High manner to tie for the championship of the Cape Ann League. The team had a seasonal record of nine wins as compared to but six losses. After the regular season had ended, the team entered the Danvers tournamen: where they were defea ed by Swamp- scott 34-32. The Swampscott captain scored the winning basket with but five seconds left to play. Co-Captain Budzianowski led in the individual scoring department with 82 points. “Bill” Peatfield and Felix D’Agnese were ' ied for the runner-up position with 57 points. In the defense the team was led by Co-Captain Machaj. Machaj was ably assisted in this department by “Pete” Stamatakos and “Walt” Jadul who also got his share of points. The team record is as follows: Ipswich 11 Beverly 33 Ipswich 41 Salem Seconds 25 Ipswich 23 St. John’s (Danvers) 41 Ipswich 12 . S Anne’s (Gloucester) 26 Ipswich 43 Essex 9 Ipswich 39 Marblehead 24 Ipswich 23 Rockport 28 Ipswich 53 Essex 23 Ipswich 24 . Essex Aggies (Danvers) 26 Ipswich 33 Story (Manchester) 31 Ipswich 26 .

Back Row (left to right) : Everett Smith, Alexander Sweenie, Arthur Oliver, Edward Blais- dell, Richard Weagle, Roland Morin. The basketball lettermen were as fol- lows: Co-Captains Budzianowski and “Walt” Machaj, “Walt” Jadul, Russell Wile, Peter Stama ' akos, “Bill” Peat- field, “Eddie” Machaj. Arnold Pappas, Felix D’Agnese, Alexander Sweenie, and Everett Smith, manager. These lettermen met after the season had ended and elected “Bill” Peatfield as the captain for the season 1 940-1 94 1 . Baseball T HE baseball season opened in a rather inauspicious manner for the Ipswich High team as it met defeat at the hands of the Hyannis team in the open- ing game, 7-4. However, the Ipswich team subsequently administered two straight defeats on Hyannis, 9-1 and 6-1, thereby winning the annual series. After the Hyannis series, the team beat the Saugus High team, which is 66 coached by Bernie Friberg of major- league fame, 6-3. Then, with the cus- tomary flag-raising ceremonies, Ipswich successfully started the defense of its Cape Ann League trophy by defeating Manchester, 8-2. Unfortunately the team’s next opponent was St. John’s which finally edged out our team in a game hat turned out to be a slugfest, 10-7. The Ipswich High team returned to the winning column by defeating Essex, 12-1 and Marblehead, 11-5. But then for the second consecutive Satur- day, the team was defeated. This time Rockport did the trick in a 14-inning game, the score being 3-2. The team, however, beat the St. Anne’s team 12-1 and Essex 17-1. At this writing there are three games left on the schedule. Much of the team’s success can be at- tributed to the following: first, the great defensive work of the infield; sec- ond, the excellent pitching by “Bill” Peatfield and “Eddie” Machaj, Felix D’Agnese; last, the batting of Co-Cap- tain “Walt” Machaj, of Rowley’s “Bill” Smith, and of the freshman bat- ting sensation, “Eddie” Smorczewski. SOCIAL REVIEW Christmas Assembly O N December 22, 1939 a group of students from the different classes presented “Dust of The Road” a mov- ing, serious one act play by Kenneth Sawyer Goodman for the benefit of the student body. Members of the cast were Ruth Wilson, Edward Blaisdell, Everett Smith, and Richard Weagle. Edward and Ruth, Peter and Pru- dence Steele, a couple trying to stifle conscience and contemplating theft on Christmas Eve, were deterred from their crime and put on the right road to hap- piness by the effor ' s of Jud 2 s Iscariot, disguised as a tramp, played by Everett Smith. Weagle played well the part of Prudence’s more charitable uncle. The cast, in spite of the fact that they were working under the difficulty of present- ing a play that was obviously over the heads of many pupils in the audience, did remarkably well. SENIOR PLAY T HE Class of 1940 presented “But- ton Button” by Maurice Clark on March 28, 1940 with Cecilia Sikora and Everett Smith playing the leads. Richard Weagle very successfully played the part of the golf-enthusiastic hus- band of Gertrude Barney and allowed her to y ake in his brother “Button” for her psychological experiments. Grace Jahnke as Rita Weed, an antique fanatic, and Eleanor Wallace, Phoebe Weed as her modern young daughter were excel- lent. Helen Collum and Cecelia Sikora as cook and maid respectively, as well as Phoebe Weed, put up quite a struggle to win the favor of “Button” with Ce- cilia as the ultimate victor. 67 CLASS OFFICERS Front Row (left to right) : Marjorie Pierce ’42, Wendell Hill ’42, Marion Ciolek ' 40, Steven Budzianowski ’40, Muriel Horsman ’40, Russell Wile ’40, Eleanor Pickering ’43.

Oh Johnny !” EXCHANGES The “Cub” and “Tiger” staffs grate- fully ackowledge the following maga- zines and journals from neighboring towns and cities. AS WE SEE OTHERS: “Hamiltonian’ ' Hamilton High School, Hamilton, Massachusetts A very fine cover and literary section. However, why not have a few more illustrations? “Within Red Doors” Topsfield High School, Topsfield, Massachusetts For such a small school you certain- ly have a very interesting and extensive literary section, but why not have illus- trations scattered throughout your pages? Why not include, also, a joke section? “The Pioneer” Reading High School, Reading, Massachusetts Yes, indeed, you really have a maga- zine to be proud of. Your literary sec- tion is exceptionally good. “The Aegis” Beverly High School, Beverly, Massachusetts Your cover design was most original. The literary section, especially your poems, was amusing as well as interest- ing. We saw no sports section, however, and the use of illustrations would make your paper more effective. “The Swampscotta” Swampscott High School, Swampscott, Massachusetts Your issue is well-rounded and makes most interesting reading, but we should like to see an exchange section. “The Focus” Saugus High School, Saugus, Massachusetts Your cover was one of the most out- standing of all those among our ex- changes, and your contest column was of interest to us. We shall keep striv- ing for more poetry and certainly will try a contest column in the near future. “The Holten” Danvers High School, Danvers, Massachusetts Your pages were interesting from cover to cover but, please, more illustra- tions. “The Record” Newburyport High School, Newburyport, Massachusetts Your magazine was one of the fine:t received. Your section entitled “The Nut In- stitute” impressed us very much. Keep up the good work! P. S. Where is your exchange sec- t ion ? 78 “Rocks and Pebbles’ ' Rockport High School, Rockport, Massachusetts We received your Fall and Christmas issues and praise them highly, for they show fine talent. Keep it up! “The Killonian” Killingly High School, Danielson, Connecticut For the size of your magazine you do exceptional work. Your poetry was es- pecially fine. “Brown and Gold’’ Haverhill High School, Haverhill, Massachusetts Your paper has convinced us that “all good things come in small pack- ages.” “Wandering Walt” and “Annie An- nex” are first rate literary accomplish- ments. Good work, Haverhill! “Lasell Leaves’’ Lasell Junior College, Auburndale, Massachusetts Your magazine is unique and your literary material is excellent. We en- joyed it exceedingly. “The Original” Marietta High School, Marietta, Ohio We appreciate your kindness in send- ing us such a fine paper all the way from Ohio. It ' s no wonder you are proud of your paper — so are we! AS OTHERS SEE US: “The Hamiltonian” Your illustrations are a fine decora- tion to your magazine. We realize from experience it is difficult for a s mall school to get literary contributions; an- other story or two however, would add much to your magazine. “The Focus” Your “Diary” touches a tender spot in my heart — it’s a good idea! Wise sayings make people think. Therefore, more glory to your “Sayings of the Sages.” (I hope you don’t mind my using a few.) Why not try other sections such as “The Exchange,” “Contest,” and Poet- ry from the pupils?” “The Holten” Glad to include you in our “Ex- changes.” We liked your editorials and “Diary” and have decided that your “Cub” reporters must be pretty well up on their toes to keep in touch with all those romances. P. S. What! No poetry? “The Pioneer” “The Cub” of Ipswich is another welcome exchange. The Ipswichers scribbled off an outstanding column, and is it any wonder? They have “Jo Jo” Robishaw as their star player and captain of their team. We would suggest a more extensive literary sec- tion, though. 79 PURDY Class Photographer 1940 r Placement Service Provided Free to all Graduates Previous Commercial T raining Not Re- quired for Entrance Where Success Stories of Tomorrow Begin to Take Form For 61 years, Burdett College has been offering specialized business training to the young people of New England.
