Beauty culture holds the most interest for her, but we’re worried—what if her giggles become ensnarled in the tresses of her customers! EARL: ATWOOD “Men of few words are the best men.” Earl’s interests are entirely in keeping with his sex. Stamp collecting, whacking a baseball, messing around rith mechanisms—all these, just as so many boys, Earl vs. He rather thinks he’ll enter Wentworth Institute he fall. BARBARA BAILEY BABS “Happy I am; from care ’'m free.” Filled with the joy of living, shining with an “I have no worries’ attitude, hustling Babs is ever seek- : J ing new things to do. She goes to schoo! simply because duty compels her. THEODORE BALL TED “Not afraid of work, but not in sympathy with it.” Ted isn’t any too interested in seats of greater learn- ing. A theatre seat is his favorite haunt. His business head must . have evolved from counting over the eashier’s change. rack le MARGARET BANKS PEGGY “Ouiet and reserved.” Peggy—a wee, winsome miss—admits her dislike of winter sports; she’d rather play tennis. Her photo- svaphie collection of famous people grows each day. Interesting hobby, no? Foreign Correspondence 3; Chorus 1. RUTH BEACH RUTHU: “Come, my best friends, my books! Lead me on!” A good book, a box of chocolates, and a soft couch suit Ruthie fine. She enjoys listening to Miller, Shaw. ete., and thinks skating is fun, but would rather sit and watch. WILLIAM BEAN BIL “Talking pays no toll.’ Yes, he’s quiet and unassuming, but a regular fellow. He likes to fool around with machinery in the form of ears. And speaking: of regular, he proved to be a pleasant, but regular ‘‘American problem’’ in history!

J STUART BRODERIC “There's mischief in this little man!’ Stu — comical, clever, popular—rates sky-high as a student and athlete. He is interested in everything from mountains to Raleighs.

Soccer 1, 2, 3; Track 1, 2, 3; Committees 3; French Club 3. ; LOIS BURNHAM BurTcit “Who beat her name on the drum of the world’s ear.” Rather a sharp contrast to Lois’s quiet personality is her rare talent as a drummer. No one who has seen ker in action could ever forget the striking sight—and sound. Committees 8; Band 1, 2, 3; Orchestra 1, 2, 3. NUNZIO CAMERATO Muzzy “Of spirit still and quiet.” Quiet, conservative Nunzio possesses a rare aptitude for mechanics as well as a great fondness for read- ing—especially adventure stories of the kind that test your imagination. WILLIAM CANN BILL “Be original! Borrowed wit is the poorest.” A pun, of course, is the lowest form of humor, but we must concede that Bill’s spontaneous atrocities inject new life into punning. Scholastically, nothing stands in his way. His argumentive powers and logic see him through. ; Spotlight 2, 3; Junior Classical League 3; Foreign Policy Club 3; Chess Club 2; Committees 3. the J ee ee LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL : 1940 BARBARA CAOQUETTE BARBIE “On the light fantastic toe.” When we were knee high, we watched little Barbie dance. Still small, we see her today as one of the class’ eharming members. Still a dancer, we often see her perform upon the stage.

HERBERT CARLSON aged 1 ae “ Twas natural to please.” A sports enthusiast, an obliging classmate, and a capable Seout is genial Herbie, whose easy-going man- ner has won him many friends. Travel in any form is his hobby and his motto is ‘‘See America First.’ Band 2, 3; Committees 3. ARLENE CARR “A light heart lives long.’ She comes, of course, but to Arlene school is an un- popular necessity. Very modest and quiet in her actions, the majority of her interests lie beyond the portals of oe aisha 5 BERNADETTE CARROLL : DETTY “Ts’t not fine to dance?” Attractive and carefree, Detty dotes on swing. She’d vather dance than eat, and it is through Detty and her friends that some of our sport dances have come into being. Spotlight 3; Yearbook 3; Music Club 3; Committees 3. ALBERTA CARSON y Kirry “Her voice was ever soft—an excellent thing in a woman.” Kitty without her drawl would not be Kitty, yet her Southern intonation is inconsistent with her energy. She keeps tropical fish, studies voice, does a smooth job of swimming, and wields a red hot racquet. ockey 1, 2; Tennis 1, 2, 3; Spotlight 3; Yearbook; Plish C 3; Committees 3; Operetta 2; Chorus DELE CAVANAGH ache 3 Danes “A traveler's life for me.” Adele, quiet and sweet, has a passion for sailboats and figure skating.

Never hurried, never worried, Tilla personifies tranquility and calm. Field Hockey 2; Archery 2; Yearbook 3. WARREN CLARK “Begone dull care!

Al- most invariably she can be found every afternoon listen- ing to the latest tunes swung by the most popular or- chestras. Music Club 3; Dramatic 3. RALPH COWDREY “T will go meet the ladies.” A versatile chap, this—hockey player, soccer player, trackster, swimming instructor and even a raiser of little black mice! ! Yes, really!

A ALUCCINELLO “Never idle a moment.” We envy Julia’s ability to make the most of every mfnute. Her ambitions are concrete, and she works for them with determination. She likes music, writing, reading, everything. We all like her. Spotlight 3; Yearbook 3; O. G. A., O. A. 7 3; Com- mittees 1, 2. FRANCIS CURTIS “Silence is golden.” If silence is any indication of merit, Fran is worth the stuff he’s made of. His popularity comes, from his being such a down-right good sport and his always act- ing the gentleman. bw RBARA DAVIS Babs “The joy of Youth.” “Hi ya, keed! Howsya doing?’ — Yes, that’s Bahs. Happy-go-lucky, garrulous, she has added a dash of wit and generous portion of humor to many a dreary classroom. Archery 2; Commitiees 3. FRANCES DEAN FRAN “My knowledge cannot be stolen from me.” Frannie is well up on current political and world affairs. Her poetry and unique style of writing clearly reveal a brilliant mind and class her with the literary elite. Basketball 1; Archery 2; Spotlight 8; Yearbook 38; French Club 2; Drama Club 3; Chorus 2, 3. FRANK DELFINO GEES “O it is excellent to have a giant's strength.” Athletic Frank, with his strikes and s a high bowling average. Although his local chain store prevent him from school athletics, he is an ardent missing a game. Basketball 1; Yearbook. MARION DELFINO DEL “Her air, her manners, all who saw admired.” No word has yet been coined to describe gracious Marion. An interest in the field of domestic science has influenced her considerably. Hers is a winning person- ality, a character stronger than strong. Shop Club 3; Committees 1, 2. LAURETTA DEMPSEY LAURIE ‘With valleys of eternal babble,” Lauretta—talkative and energetice—is a great sports enthusiast. Athletics, in fact, are the central interest in her life. Action is her middle name; she’s always just about to do something. Basketball 2, 3; Baseball 2, 3; Hockey 8: Foreign Correspondence Club 1; I'rench Club 8; Chorus 3. es he POLLY DIBBLE ‘Wit is the flower of imagination.” Pretty Polly is a subtle blend of wit and savoir faire. Her tastes, leaning slightly toward the luxurious — theatre, symphonies, art — have made her an interest- ing conversationalist and a stimulating and charming acquaintance.

RUTH DOE KATE “Quiet and sull, yet always pleasant.” Ruth is another one of our home girls. Have you ever noticed Ruth’s flashy beer jacket? It’s a sample of her hobby of hobbies—drawing. She must have spent hours working on it. Art Club 3; Shop Club 3; Committees 1. EDITH DOUGLAS EDIE “Genteel in personage and conduct.” Efficient, generous, modest these characteristics are Bdith’s charm. With them she has made many friends. May we add that she has not as yet a single foe? Yearbook $; O. G. A., O. A. Ts 8; Foreign Cor- respondenece Club 1.

ANNE EMERY Min “A spirit so still and quiet.” Anne’s interests are varied. She’s an outdoor girl— a follower of trails and campfires. She collects stamps, and drinks in all the good radio programs. She is toy- ing with the idea of becoming a nurse. Basketball 8; Science Club 3. JEAN EMERY JEANIE “Thought is deeper than all speech.” Hither swishing along a ski-trail or slashing a tennis } � ball is Jean’s idea of something real to do. She knows clothes and how to wear them. She’s what we'd class . as ‘“‘Miss Up-to-date.”’ Basketball 1, 2, 3; Baseball 1; Science Club 3. EARLE EMPEY REGGIE “Not stepping o'er the bounds of modesty.” Give a4 man a gun and a boat, and tall tales should ‘ result. Blue-eyed Earle finds his greatest interests in these two. His fine carriage is much admired; he is, indeed, “Straight as a ramrod.”’ [13 ] - 1940 ELAINE EVANS ‘Very pleasant hast thou been.” Artistic Elaine, an ardent reader, holds swimming her dearest sport, with skating and stamp collecting follow- ing closely. Her collection of stamps has been increased by the foreign friends with whom she faithfully cor- responds. Voreign Correspondence Club 2, 8; Committees 3; Chorus 3. ARTHUR FARNHAM Bo “Young fellows will be young fellows.” Bo, the trickiest gum-chewer in town, with his en- gaging personality, could make even Hedy Lamarr his slave. His role in ‘‘Cross My Heart’ as an energetic, fun-loving Senior suited him to perfection.

ROBERT FAULKNER Bos “A good friend of everyone.” Bob is a man of few words. If he runs the race of life as he runs the mile, he’ll be a winner. He’s a won- derful pal and a friend to all. Soccer 1, 2, 3; Track 1, 2; Athletic Club 3. RD FAWCETT Dick ‘Dashing, daring, dauntless debonair . . Handsome Flash, the never-ceasing tease, is a superior athlete and staunch friend.

She is far more in- terested in home economics. Cooking and faney work occupy her attention. With such a charming smile, no wonder her results are ‘“‘par excellence.” Committees 3. DOROTHY FIGENBAUM Dor “Sill waters run deep.” Studious Dot can always take time out to plunk on the piano and to indulge in her favorite sports, namely skiimg and skating. Furthermore, we’ve got to hand it to her—she knows how and when to laugh. Field Hockey 3; Yearbook; French Club 1; O. G.

Drowsy and inert in school, Bob never lacks the energy to be entertaining. : Tennis 2; Hockey 3; Music Club 3. BENJAMIN FORBES BuTCHY “Oh, that bashful young lad.” Bashful Butch is all-scholastic right wing in hockey, backfield in football, an alert second baseman on the diamond. Despite his ability, he’s most modest—reason number one for his popularity! Baseball 1, 2, 3; Hockey 1, 2, 8; Athletic Club 3. L 14 J 1940 - - - - - LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL THERESA FRADETTE TREE “A pleasant girl with a pleasant smile.” Theresa—doll-like and siender—delights in reading; not the too serious type, but enjoyable fiction. She spends a large portion of her time in the theatre, and the remaining in hiking. Yearbook; Chorus 38. MARY FRANCESCHELLI “The force of her own merit makes her way.’ y Mary is swift to see a joke—swift to come to the point of anything. As kind-hearted as she is quick- tempered, she makes and keeps many friends. Because of varied abilities and interests, she finds pleasure in everything. epouieht 35 0: G. A. O. A. T. 38. ELIZABETH FRICHETTE BETTY “A cheerful girl is a friend to all.’ Betty, conscientious and dependable, takes a great in- terest in her school work. Everything she undertakes is done with enthusiasm. Efficient and neat, she'll find lit- tle difficulty in overcoming competition in the business world. Spotlight 3; Yearbook 3. ALBERT GENETTI GUBB “Athletic—vigor.”’ “Gub,” popular president of the Senior class, leaves a fine record behind him.

Like many of his muscular compatriots, he’s a king of the bowling alleys. And we mean—king! ! Soecer 1; Baseball 2, 3; Athletic Club 3. GORDON GILLINGHAM GILL “Saying little, thinking much.” To be prized is Gordon’s virtue of silence; when he does speak it is worthwhile. We don’t know just what got him started on it, but Gordon collects old watches. Plenty of time on hand! CHARLES GLASS Ohne CHARLIE A silent, shy, peace-loving man.” Charlie needs no _ introduction because everybody knows Charlie; everybody knows his bashful grin and self-conscious gait. His is a sincere affection for school, an earnest desire to make good. Football 1, 2; Track 1, 2; Athletic Club 3. ELEANOR GRAHAM SKIP “Good nature is always remembered.” Constantly on the go, Eleanor accompanies her action with chatter and a long series of wise cracks. She is active in every sport, both summer and winter. Shop Club 3. [15 ] LEXINGVGNE HIGHSCHOOL eee yn nae 1940 tata . RICHARD GREER DICK “Youth is full of sport.’ Dick’s muscle and brawn are worthy of wider use in the sport world, but to date his one athletic love seems to be football.

NAN GRINDLE “Neat, not gaudy.” n, with her quiet but conquering charm, is true friendship personified. Her greatest assets are her un- selfish interest in others, her good sportsmanship, her infallible knack of always looking immaculate, and— rare indeed—her constant good humor.

VIRGINIA HADLEY GINNY “And nature in her glee endorsed a merr rf S devil in her eye.” Conversation never fails happy-go-lucky Ginny. Blessed with a great sense of humor, she smiles her way through trouble. She’s an all-round sport and makes life lively for herself and her friends. Shop Club 3. MARY HAGAR TERRY “Ever fair and ever young.” Attractive Mary—a ski enthusiast—dreams of far-off Switzerland, but does all right for herself here in Lex- ington.

[ 16 } MAE HANNA CHIC ‘It is good to look upon her cheerful mood.” Chie, a lover of life, enjoys singing and dancing. Another of our jitterbugs, she can really dance.

Although the merest bit shy, she is a real friend, to those , ere, LE . GEORGE HARMON Kherge “T value science, none can prize it more.” Rather indifferent to classical subjects, but none-the- © . less capable. George’s inclinations are mathematical. He exercises his technical learnings by frequent sessions at a chess board. Soceer 1, 2, 3; Tennis 1, 2, 2; Chess Club 3; Math Club 3. BARBARA HATFIELD BARBY “Size 1s no indication of ability.” Petite Barby—that animated wisp of personality—is an expert swimmer, an extensive reader, a smooth dancer, and an energetic dabbler in everything from writing poetry to playing (7?) tennis. Oh, yes, and we want to say she’s partial to Glenn Miller’s serenades!

HERVEY HEYWOOD A little nonsense now and then.” Hervey has a wry sense of humor and a super-smooth style of dancing. He craves less homework and more leisure to devote to aviation and photography. His name graces the Honor Roll, so we conclude that he gets along without the leisure very well. Track 2; Yearbook 3; Math Club 2; Aviation 3. BARBARA HILLIARD BARBIE “Serene, resolute, and still.’ Barbara, quiet and sincere, is a real friend and an undaunted worker. When a task needs to be done, she sticks to it until it’s done correctly.

No one with laughter in her orbs can be silent for long. ’Fess up, Hazel, you’re not always quiet, ave you? NORMAN HUEY Norm “T am no orator as Brutus is.” Norm’s versatile personality—his now solemn, now beaming countenance—has furnished us with many a hearty laugh.

It must be nice to have that wavy hair to be blown in the wind. From her writings we assume that she should pursue a literary career. : Committees 2. GEORGE KEARNS Cus “Freckles accompany good nature.” George, on the whole, isn’t very noisy—although he assoviates almost strictly with boys.

Coach, JAMES WELDON Manager, DicK ARCHIBALD After last year’s unsuccessful season, it was hoped that this year’s team would do better. However, the season seemed to be quite dismal as the games went by because of the many losses, until Reading was defeated 6-0, the first win in two years. — But that wasn’t the end, because on Thanksgiving Day Lexington beat its traditional rival, Concord, by the same score, 6-0. Although the opponents scored 206 points against us and we only scored 18 against them, 12 of those points were enough to win two games. Our outstanding players this year were Bob Primmerman, Romeo Busa, and Francis McCarron in the backfield; Wally Hemmingson, Dick Greer, Bill Griffiths, Joe Moniz, Warren Clark, and Steadman Humphry in the line. Special honor should be given to Joe Moniz who was the only Lexington player to make the All-Middlesex League team. Best of luck to Captain-elect Romeo Busa for next year.

Soccer Coach, ELruis ABELL Captain, STUART BRODERIC The Lexington High School soccer team was quite successful this year, finishing second in the Greater Boston Soccer League. Lexington led the League at various times and, up to the next to the last game, had an opportunity for the championship. Medford, the ultimate League winners, were tied twice by Lexington. To make competition greater, two new teams were entered into the League. These teams were Lynn Classical and Quincy. The outstanding players were Bob Michelson and Bill Collins in the line, Gubb Genetti and Ralph Cowdrey in the halfback positions, Captain Broderic as a fullback, and Art Farnham in the goal. Laurie Hamilton is the Captain-elect for next season.

A final check-up reveals that the team won seven games, lost nine, and ended the season in fourth place in the Middlesex League. A good many of the losses were truthfully dubbed “heart-breakers,’ because there was usually only a difference of a few points in the final scores. The “‘thriller’”’ of the year was played at Winchester where Co-captain Fawcett scored a basket in the last ten seconds of play with the result that Lexington was victorious—by one point! The outstanding merit of the group was, perhaps, the splendid teamwork developed by the boys. As proof of this, there was the Clark-Farnham-Jones trio, who as guards were unparalleled. Bunny Hyde, Romeo (oh, Romeo) Busa, and Charlie Vaughan, as well as both captains, shared the scoring honors equally. SEASON’S RECORD Lexington 25 Keith Academy Da Lexington 47 Keith Academy DS.

Although they didn’t win the championship of the Eastern Massachusetts League, they finished with flying colors in third place, with Brookline in first place and three other teams tied for second. The record shows that they won ten games, lost four, and tied one. Throughout the season, the boys showed all the fight- ing spirit that any coach could be proud of. In the beginning, however, there was no coach, and the team had to prove its worth before the school appointed Johnny Janusas, former B. C. player, for that purpose. Star-center Dick Archibald was runner- up for the high-scoring honors of the League and was chosen along with Spencer Johnson and Co-captain Cowdrey to play in the all-star finals. Other outstanding players who deserve a great deal of credit are Bill Collins, Butch Forbes, Hing Vaughn, and Hugh McQuillan, who promises to be a star goalie next season.

Track The track team for the spring of 1940 is out to maintain as good a record as teams of the past. The team is especially strong in the distant events with such boys as Captain Art Farnham, Lawrence Dutton, and Bob O’Brien in the mile; Ned McGinnis and Edwin Mantor in the 880; Stewie Broderic, Dick Archibald and George Callahan in the 440. In the dashes, however, there is a weakness, due to the lack of sprinters. John Rogers who moved away would have helped considerably in these events. Bill Collins, Matt Allen, John Costa and “Bunny” Hyde will take care of the high jumping; and Warren Clark, Wes Page, and Wilfred Jones in the shot put. ‘There are seven dual meets and five interscholastic meets. The team should have an avetage season and the dual meets will be closely fought.

Coach, ‘““PROF.”’ SHERWOOD Captain, GUBB GENETTI Manager, CHARLES MILLER When spring rolls around, we naturally turn to the outdoors for our sports and activities. The first one that comes to our minds is baseball. The team is again under the able guidance of Coach “Prof.” Sherwood. He expects a big season, meaning that boys should win quite a few games. There are nine lettermen back, which include: Captain Gubb Genetti, Tom Koines, Butch Forbes, Freddy Genetti, Bob Primmerman, Dick Fawcett, Wally Hemmingson, Bud Welsh, and Bob Michelson. In addition to these veterans, there are some worthy sophomores and juniors who will be battling for all positions. These are Stanley Janusas, Spag McCarron, Billy Smith, Harvey Glidden, Jack Whalen, Charley Vaughn, Charley MacDonald, Charley “the slugger” Miller, Benny Hammer, Spencer Johnson and some others. As the season has not yet started, we cannot tell who the stars are, but we predict that the team should be full of heavy hitters.

With the exception of these juniors, the rest of the team is made up of a crew Of sophomores who, even if they lack experience, have the spirit to make a team. These sophomores are Billy Wood, Alex Ohlson, Jimmie Silva, Bob Cushman, Ernest Williams, John Armstrong, John Mandigo, Robert Marcus, and Don Andrews.

The team was weakened by the loss of members who graduated last year, but the return of last year’s captain and three former members plus some promising sophomores indicate a promising season. The team has a nineteen match schedule which begins April 20 against Waltham. This long schedule will give the candidates ample chance to prove themselves.

The defense work was fine all year, and through excellent team work and cooperation, Ruth Porter and Georgia Smith were able to make the goals of the season. Jane Willard performed a marvelous job as manager of the team, and a great deal of credit is due her for her constant enthusiasm and support. . __ The second team under Co-captains Ann Ryder and Kay Schlichte had a success- ful season. We hope they will have a good season next year. The greatest progress was made during the year by Ann Ryder, Lauretta Dempsey, and Caroline Nickerson.

Girls’ Basketball Coach, Miss LEAVITT Captain, GEORGIA SMITH Winning two out of five games (two games more than in the 1939 season), the gitls’ basketball team had a rather successful season. Each girl did her part to bring about the victories over Belmont and Concord. Coach Leavitt had the forwards of both the first and second teams practice con- stantly, spending a great deal of time improving the various plays. The improvement of the forwards attracted much attention as the season pro- gressed, and combined with the excellent guard work, two fast and energetic teams were formed. .

In spite of the loss of several players who were graduated last spring, the return of Captain Ryder, Ruth Porter, Edith Harding, Lauretta Dempsey, and Anna Kelly brightens this year’s outlook a good deal. Also the addition of some promising sophomores will strengthen the roster. The first game is against Arlington on May 14.

However, Co-Captain Pat Schlichte’s injury which will leave a gap in the ranks is one dark spot in the horizon. The team got off to an early start by practicing in the gym before the weather per- mitted going outside. They play their first match against Malden on May 2nd.

Once more a cast labored in preparation, once more the halls of Lexington High School were filled with the harmonious strains of Gilbert and Sulli- van. The topnotch ‘'Gondoliers’” was chosen for this year’s performance, and like “The Pirates of Penzance’ and “The H. M. S. Pinafore’ of back seasons, was a smashing hit. This season, however, many of the leading roles were filled by Sophomores and Juniors whose talent is rare. It goes without saying, of course, that our own fellow classmen ate far from lacking in ability. And since Jane, Ralph and Bull must this year bid adieu to the school, isn’t this a fitting time to officially congratulate them on their super-fine per- formance.

Band Mr. Glazer, the leader, and the whole group of the Lexington High School Band have worked hard and steadily; in fact, so steadily that they have been entered as con- testants in the Massachusetts State Festival. Friday night, March 29, they played at the Boy Scout Rally. On Patriot's Day, April 19, the band also played in the parade. The members enjoy playing at these differ- ent events very much, but it helps to know that the students appreciate them. Roa LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL - - - 1940 FALL SPORTS BANQUET The Athletic Club, one of the many active organizations which sprang up this year, gave a banquet in February for all those who had participated in fal! sports, both boys and girls. Some of the boys, acting as waiters, put on a fine performance. One could never hope to see such a classic exhibition of poise and balance as was shown by Art Farnham and Charlie Glass. With the ease of experts they slung around those plates heaped with turkey, mashed potatoes, dressing, squash, and dark brown gravy. Mr. Abell had a little trouble getting some of the more bashful members of our football team (such as Bill Griffiths) to sit beside the members of the field hockey team. However, outside of that the entire feast went off smoothly. After the usual ice cream and cake had been served and demolished, the throng adjourned to the auditorium. And then that sly old gentleman took over the meeting with a movie projector. The several reels of film touched upon all the major sports, and at nine-thirty the athletic festival closed. SENIOR PROM Lights, music, action!!! The Senior Prom of the class of 40! Twice blessed at the start—first, by the ingenious decorations; second, by the extra-ultra Blue Devils. Our Christmas dance boasted a superlative amount of atmosphere, an atmosphere created by the flashing °40 high in the center of the gym, the colorful stage within which the orchestra ruled in state, and the huge Christmas tree dominating the matron’s corner. Because of the holiday, the alumni were free to come, and come they did! Every other collision was with one of last year’s Seniors. The dance served a two-fold purpose: it heralded the start of a week’s vacation and celebrated the half-way mark in our life as the leaders of Lexington High. SENIOR PLAY Well, cross my heart, it was the best Senior Play yet! I’m referring, of course, to the class of ’40’s production of “Cross My Heart’ by John MacRay and George Savage. As it was the first production of this comedy here in the East, it was a refresh- ing sensation. The cast, selected from the senior class after tryouts, gave a perform- ance that was as entertaining as many professional ones. Hing Vaughn as Eleanor’s irate father made the audience literally howl with laughter; and Norm Huey as Dave Adams gave every evidence of being a hen-pecked husband of an over-anxious mother. Barrett Thompson’s characterization of Bob Adams ees 1940 - - - LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL, proved a masterpiece, while Dodo Hinchey as Bob’s mother gave ample proof of her ability as an actress. Eleanor Ross’ mother was admirably enacted by Marion Hess, whose play-daughter, Eleanor, was particularly well taken by Jeanne Vadeboncoeur. The younger roles in the play were represented with ability by Barbara Hatfield as Lola Pomeroy, Bo Farnham as Carl Young, Barbara White as Henrietta Duval, and Gerrie Towne as Patsy Jones. Barbara Wilson’s performance of Pauline Adams and Bill Collins’ portrayal of Jim Ross completed a brilliant production by a well-chosen cast. “Cross My Heart” was produced under the direction of Albion G. Hart, who deserves much of the credit for the play's success. When the play was in the final stages of rehearsal, Mr. Hart became ill. Mr. Warren, however, stepped in and carried on the work with the result that valuable time was not wasted and rehearsals went forward until Mr. Hart’s return. Mr. Warren’s action merits a vote of thanks from all. To say that “Cross My Heart’? was a success would be the height of understatement. It was a smash hit! CLUBS Under the patronage of the Student Council, a new group of clubs has sprung up this year with certain teachers as advisors. The Council set aside activity periods on Thursdays for meetings of these organizations. Although some have ceased to exist for various reasons, the others which were successful prove these clubs to be a worthy venture. In all probability, these clubs will continue to progress in future years under the faculty’s able guidance. STUDENT COUNCIL Student Council, in its first year, has proved to be the most efficient and capable student government organization in the history of Lexington High School. The eight juniors and twelve seniors that comprise the Council are elected by the student body the year previous to their term of office. Subsequent elections are held to replace members who have been disqualified by not maintaining a “'C’” average in their marks. Council officers are in turn elected by the Council members. Those for this year were Richard Fawcett, president; Spencer Johnson, vice-president; Virginia Hager, secretary; Albert Genetti, treasurer. Perhaps the largest and most important undertaking of the year was the forming and managing of the Allied Student’s Association. The purpose of the Association is to bring the majority of school activities within the reach of the average student's pocket- book. Under this system, a member of the A. S. A. is enabled to attend the three annual proms, Senior Play, Operetta, all home basketball games, and to receive all copies of the school magazine for the sum of three dollars paid in weekly installments. Each Student Council member is an A. S. A. collector and resides in the homeroom where he collects the dues. This organization has been financially successful and has guaranteed each activity a certain sum to start with. Lipo LEXINGTON HIGH SCHOOL - - - 1940 Appointment of traffic marshals is in charge of a committee of Student Council members who change the marshals every marking period. This gives more students the Opportunity to serve their fellow comrades, and to feel that they can exercise their authority to do good. The planning of assemblies and the introduction of speakers also is in charge of a committee of Student Council members. The aim of this year’s committee has been to present varied and interesting programs each week to the student body. The Lexington High School Student Council has joined the state organization of Student Councils and has sent both representatives and delegates to several meetings. We hope in the future to be able to have a Lexington High Student Council member elected to one offce in the state organization. The Student Council is an institution to be upheld and improved by succeeding classes in Lexington High; it is an organization to strengthen the understanding between teachers and students; it is a means of preparing the younger generation to be worthy citizens. FOREIGN POLICY CLUB The Foreign Policy Club devoted its meetings to discussions about current world affairs. Meetings were held every other week. The discussions were based on the Foreign Policy Association mectings held in Boston twice a month. Members of the club at- tended these discussions and brought back to the meetings facts and Opinions of promi- nent speakers on important world questions. Club members gave their ideas and opinions on questions under discussion. Some of the members have taken part in class and school discussions on world affairs.

You can go as fast as you please without fear of getting pinched. Also, you won’t find the road overcrowded, because only a few in Life’s Grand Tour use it. “How can you get on the road?” you ask. Let us consult our “Road Map.” Do you see that long, narrow, winding trail? That’s the Lane of Hard Work. Shooting off it, is the street of Honesty. Many ride by this street and never stop, because the road doesn’t look attractive at the beginning. Oh, could they but see its beauty a little way on! And then to that grand concourse—the Road of Achievement that leads to the City of Fortune. Do you think you can find your way?
