CLASS POEM SHIPLOR Sas We've sailed through four short years Until at last we find Our ship has reached another shore, Leaving high school days behind. Our presidents have been the Captains Piloting our ship’s course straight. Each classmate was a sailor Each class officer—a mate. Past days of youth and learning Are logged within our ship. We hope our hard-earned knowledge Will brighten our life’s trip. And so as the “Class of thirty-eight” This June our ship will cease to be. From Ludlow High we shall graduate Each sailor upon life’s sea. Charlotte E. James page twenty-four ONAGAH..1938 THE SENIOR CLASS page twenty-five @ ONAGAH..1938 CLASS OFFICERS President Vice-President Secretary Treasurer Motto: ‘“Perge” Class Colors: Crimson and Grey CLASS HISTORY Once upon a time, back in the days of 1934, the Tribe of ’88 whooped its way into Lud- low High. The whole Freshman year was spent in settling down on the reservation, The next year the Tribe chose four students to lead the group. There were the Big Chief, Benny Edgar, and his assisting brave, Joseph Beauregard, with Annie Janes to keep a record of the Tribe, and Ruth Crowell to take care of the wampum. It was a year of tri- umphs — the Tribe won over the Tribe’s of 386 and ’37 in the inter-Class One-Act Play Contest, in which Margaret Bell played the leading role. In the Oratoricals, Robert Beat- son and Grace Guerra, both of the class of ’38, won first and third prizes respectively. Many moons later Joseph Karczmarczyk became the Big Chief, and William Mateer took over charge of the wampum, but Joseph Beauregard and Annie Janes remained. By now the Tribe was well established, and settled down to choose colors and a motto in keep- ing with tradition. Crimson (a real Indian hue) and grey were chosen for colors, and “Perge’” (In Indian it’s “Onagah”) selected for the motto. The Tribe held a good old- fashioned pow-wow in the form of a Harvest Dance. As for achievements, many of the class participated in the Operetta, among them May Hiersche and William Avezzie. And Grace Guerra captured first place in the Oratoricals. As the final social event of the year, the Tribe held the annual Promenade for the departing Class of 1937. More moons passed. The Tribe was getting wiser and wiser. That year Mitchell Kuc took over the Big Chief’s head-dress, Arlene Munsing became his assistant, and William Avezzie started to count the wampum all over again (on one hand). Annie Janes was now so experienced at symbol writing that she was kept as Secretary. The Senior Dance was an important fall event. The Tribe made an exceptionally good record in their final year. Four young braves were awarded sweaters for their athletic prowess, these being William Avezzie, Joe Beauregard, Fernando Costa, and Mario Diotalevi. Rita Hennes- sey placed first in the Oratoricals and Robert Frennier second. Grace Guerra won the Gorgas Essay Contest. Evelyn Bassett was chosen as the D. A. R. Good Citizenship Pil- grim. In a League of Nations Contest in which all the Class participated, Evelyn Bassett was first, Robert Frennier second, Mary Sorcinelli third. For the first time in the history of the school, Ludlow placed first in the preliminaries of the Valley Wheel One-Act Play Contest. The time was drawing close when the Tribe must move to another reservation. Some had already left in the many moons since that fateful September in ’34. In order to have a little fun before they left, the Braves and Maidens came to school one day dressed as pa- pooses. Then, at long last, after a gay time at Class Night and a Prom sponsored by the Juniors, came Graduation, when the “thirty-eighters” received their diplomas, and set out confidently for new reservations and new worlds to conquer. page twenty-six ONAGAH..1938 CLASS PROPHECY Scene: A dense forest; figures sit about. The sky is dark with clouds; rumbles of thunder sound ominously nearer and nearer; lightning streaks the darkness. One lonely fi- gure turns his face questioningly to the heavens. Big Chief Kuc: “Oh, omniscient Gitche Manito, we, the class of ’88, appeal to your all- knowing powers. What have you in store for us? Will the way of life be clear or will it be stormy?” (Out of the dark clouds descends Gitche Manito, the Great Prophet, accompanied by a blinding flash of lightning. Large and majestically he hovers above the circle of young Indian bucks and squaws chanting rhythmically the night-long chant. Slow and weird come the thuds of the sacred drums. As the Great One comes nearer, the drums beat louder, louder, and then silence.) Gitche Manito: “Oh, my young people, you have reached the stage in your life where the knowledge of what you are to be in years to come looms a perplexing mystery in your uncertain future. You ask me to predict the future. I see a court scene. Rita Hennes- sey is sueing David Hutcheson for breach of promise. Evelyn Bassett, advocator of women’s rights, is the plaintiff’s attorney; opposing her is Fred Gregory. On the solemn judge’s bench sits Vincent Ayres, drowsily nodding his head. He raps on the desk for order. Shir- ley Waldron is called to the witness stand, for she was the air-hostess on the airplane piloted by Murray Burgess and Marion Hiersche when the plaintiff and defendant met. The men at the trial suddenly sit up straight and take notice, for down the aisle come stylish- ly dressed models (their hair dress was designed by Mary Laska and Marion Frietag). They are Gertrude Scott, Wanda Wadas, Sophie Hojnak, Ann Barton and Ann Dynok, who were traveling to Hollywood on the same plane in which the ill-fated love affair start- ed — a plane designed, by the way, by Harry Merkel. Other witnesses are Alphe Duby, a renowned explorer, who was on his way to discover a Utopia in the South Seas; Joseph Beauregard, returning to his job as chef for the M. G. M. Restaurant in California; Ruwe- ben Quaglini, body-guard of David Hutcheson; and Stanley Sternala, his chauffeur. Julia Sarad, Helen Barton, Shirley Consedine, Stella Kochanek, and Claire Nedeau, nurses, are in the audience talking with the world-famous surgeon, Joseph Karczmarczyk. Another im- portant witness is Christine Easson, a well-known singer who was also on the plane. Other passengers who have been subpoenaed as witnesses are Albert Goodreau, Theresa Stolar, and Rose Pereira, who were starting on a world cruise; George Magada, on his way to put through some important business transactions, and John Wdowiak, orchestra leader. Frank Silva and Americo Silva from the Silva Dancing School were on their way to Hollywood to teach the stars some new dancing steps. Philip Gaffney is also there; he was the aero- nautical engineer. Near him is Alex Johnston, a close friend of David Hutcheson, and Da- vid Preston, the rich idler. Eagerly taking notes are Stella Zuccarini, Laura Swiatoska, Catherine Dennis, and Winnifred Hiersche. Looking over the crowd we see Gloria Pereira, the confirmed old maid who, however, is always interested in love affairs. Mary Sorcinelli, stenographer to Evelyn Bassett, is watching anxiously the tactics of her employer. Sitting dreamily in a corner is Paul Golden. Also I see Margaret Bell, the dramatic star, and the comedian Robert Frennier, who are to appear as guest stars on Harry Reid’s guest night radio pro- gram. Harry has taken over Jack Benny’s program, including also the playing of the “Bee’’. And look, there are Fernando Costa, Mario Diotalevi, and Fernando Monteiro, our ace sportsmen. Scanning the audience eagerly are Benny Edgar and Conrad Martin, avidly searching for rich wives. There’s Betty Townsend with faithful hubby. Gildo Pancotti, with his head in the air because he won in an Irish sweepstake, is standing near her. Esther Farr and Helen Fuller, too, are here today. It seems that the airplane scared their page twenty-seven @ ONAGAH..1938 prize-winning cows and chickens. And Annie Janes is here in person to see that the story gets in her paper. Hthel MacDowell and Edward Mik are busily drawing sketches of the trial. Nathalie and Marion Grabowski and Bertha Tenerowicz are in the audience, as quiet as ever. By them is Helen Kogut who has attained her goal of being an aviatrix. Mary Pukish is interested in the case since she can use the material for her next novel. In the jury I see Leon Kras, Theresa Martins, Corinne Martin (playing with a pencil), Steve Obr- zut, Walter Pease, Fred Pruhnik, Francis Thompson (nodding his head), Joseph Zina, and Marion Warren (waving to the audience). The court clerk is Fved Bruni, and the steno- graphers are Julia Brammucci, Ruth Crowell, and Anna Costa. The court breaks up and a few enter Hugene Abair’s drug store where Mario Arco- bello is a pharmacist. Francis Bissaillon is there, too. He has become the second Walter Winchell. Charlotte James is with him, aiding him in his scoops. The radio is playing, and over the air comes William Mateer’s chant; he is tobacco auctioneer on a radio pro- gram. Outside Anna Nowak is entering Frances Mackintosh’s Escort Bureau. Across the street a colored sign announces the arrival of Arlene Munsing, the great ice skater. Willis Warren’s truck sails by, almost upsetting two pedestrians. Climbing into a cab is Doris Goddu with her rich husband. Down the street I see Edward Williamson buying tickets for a hockey game in which Gisto Marini is the star player. Nearby, Thelma Doughty is waitress in a restaurant where Rena Baldrate and her cowboy husband are seated. John Karezmarezyk nonchalantly strolls by with his hat on the side of his head. As I pass a theater I see advertised an operetta in which Rose Konderwicz, Grace Danforth, May Hiersche, and William Avezzie are starred with Eva Ellison as the orchestra leader. The music was composed by Hmelia Lewicki, and the play written by Grace Guerra. And you, oh Big Chief Kuc, I see you as head of a cosmetic concern. My prophesying is done. May you all go in peace now.” The drums sound louder and louder; a cloud of mist envelopes the Great One, and where he has been only a thin streak of smoke remains. Lightning lashes the heavens and a deafening peal of thunder is heard. OUR FAREWELL SONG (Tune “Auld Lang Syne’) Past years have fled and gone their way, Like a passing summer’s rain, It seems but yesterday we met, Yet here we part again. Our work is done and the end is near, Soon the last short passing bell, And then we take our leave from school, And sadly say farewell. I hope I carry on with me, The happiness school has brought, And keep with me the friendships, And the lessons it has taught. And so goodbye. From in our midst, We hope some futures great are born; Through parting sorrow we must smile, And welcome the life to come.

The Pro Merito is the honor society of the school. All those students attaining General or Maximum Honors for three years are automatically members. During 1937-1938 there were eleven members — three boys and eight girls. David Preston joined the society in the middle of the year because of his exceptionally good marks. The Pro Merito took charge of the library for the first time, and also kept an attrac- tive bulletin board. In the fall a book assembly was presented featuring “Gone With The Wind”, “As the Earth Turns,” “The Birds’ Christmas Carol,” and “Les Miserables.” In the spring the group broadcast “The Autocrat of the Breakfast Table” and sponsored a movie to earn money to start a Students’ Welfare Fund. The high light of the year was a sight- seeing trip to New York City in May. page thirty-four ONAGAH..1938 POT ESULCI UL Merrett se RRR nate ote ee aac eee a IS TAOS SR ESN no ee Bee Harry Merkel OTA EEE TYG Fay RRP cy Sc dtyie OA Mogae aie GRR Geant PRL or UE eR EnE CE, CERRY Cote en Pees emcee eae David Preston IS CCLELOL I = LT CUS LT CT mean ee ete acct acter tie ais Mey ae Senne eRe ae ee acne TR eee Stella Siok POCULEY PA OVISCTERE See eT TOTO E SH Cee eats osha sce ohue Tindens bce net totes Mr. John J.

The Student Council is the governing body of the high school. During the year it ac- complished a great deal. Members supervised the annual school elections, organized the traffic squad, established the Visual Aid Committee, acted as ushers at school affairs, and took charge of the dancing lessons. A Complaint committee was appointed early in the year to hear the complaints of the student body. The Council also organized a Red Cross Life Saving Class, and carried out a contest for the Alma Mater Song. As a climax to the year’s work, a “hot-dog” roast was held at Veterans’ Park. page thirty-five ONAGAH..1938 EQUDTIN GH ef we heaiaseR countess Mase dr aie teas oet eet otek Rea aoe Le FIO oe eo ER ee Annie Janes ASSOCIATE TE CilOl shiie nc cee NR ieee see ae rou Rete eS sc eee eee PAE ee Helen Miazga Staff—Arlene Munsing, Ruth Crowell, Ethel MacDowell, Charlotte James, Robert Frennier, Sophie Starzyk, Harry Merkel, Stella Siok, David Preston, Anne Hnatow, Sophie Ga- jewski, Eleanor Carmell, Rita Arel, Rita Hennessey, Doris.

The membership of the Athletic Association is made up of a delegate from each home room. After the election of officers, the Athletic Association began its work by handling the soccer games. Members organized groups and kept the crowd behind the white lines. With the winter season coming, the Association elected the assistant managers for basketball and hockey teams, and cheer leaders for the basketball games were also chosen. The Association took full charge of the basketball games, selling tickets, punching Gen- eral Organization cards, and keeping order. Hats were sold and dances were held after basketball games to buy new outfits for the cheer leaders. page thirty-seven ONAGAH..1938 SENIOR BAND MEMBERS Elizo Almeida, Irene Almeida, Earl Bennett, Clara Beauregard, Florence Beauregara, John Bourbeau, Francis Bourbeau, Rita Bourgeois, Harry Bosyk, Dorothy Brown, Irene Chisolm, W.

Among the many HI-Y activities during the year 1937-1938 were a vaudeville show, collection of books for library use, inspection of fire department, trip to Yale University, inspection of police department, distribution of Christmas baskets to the needy, basketball and softball games, and an Easter breakfast at the Fish and Game Club. A few of the well-known speakers who addressed the club were Mr. Cormack, treasurer of the Ludlow Savings Bank; Chief Stone of the Fire Department; Chief McGrath of the Police Department, Mr. Stockbridge, and Mr. Pasqual, Colgate football star. The club was represented at two Older Boys’ Conferences: an officers’ congress at Springfield College, and the Two State conference at Malden, Massachusetts. Alfred Bar- rett will be a delegate of the Ludlow Hi-Y Club at a national Hi-Y conference to be held at Berea, Kentucky, during the summer vacation. page forty OONGAG ACH 1.9 3:8 ERERULCTL LM OEE eee re ee in eb ench Sewule hndte Tone cs cee tet cdatas Fe cinasmea: seks David Ritchie VOR Brae hy hth “SRA ashok A, anaes ipo Ree ABAD Rr NS Ne RAED We ae EMR Ee Are on a EE oe Norman Martin SECT CEU = LIEU SILO TM eared nena ecicticll roe cca atten tie clanidis Gascon eb haa tledercan eae eeu: harness William H.

The Torch Club entered its second year with only four members and no adviser. Three of these old members met and elected two more sophomores and a few freshmen into the club. At a following meeting, a new constitution was drawn up, committees were appointed, and an adviser, Mr. Rooney, was chosen. Then the regular program followed. Inductions were held, hobby nights were arranged, and speakers, including Mr. Rooney, Mr. Carpenter, Mr. Miner, Mr. Warner, and Mr. Hargreaves gave us many useful ideas which we could use. The Torch Club has been very helpful to its members, and the club of future years will have a good foundation for its good work. page forty-one ONAGAH..1938 PRESTON GEAR oe Rec ener ae Rae ee Cae Te aa Re ET Evelyn Bassett ViGe=PPeEsi Ment.

The Tri-Hi program provided for service as well as pleasure this year. For charity work, members dressed dolls and sent them to the Shriners’ Hospital. The year’s calendar included induction and a candlelight service at the Tri-Hi banquet in November, two dem- onstration meetings, a St. Patrick Day Shindig, and picnic at Crystal Lake as the final social affair. page forty-two ONAGAH..1938 dU SENATE. pscccaeBsohe bapeetse aL PACA CRN PEO Een PDE Rane ene TS Reais Bie te Rachel Butler SXECTRALTTRID, © sdogou tite colred cncek Seah CaSO SREP RE CARE AEE ORR i OO Aan EOD LIE.

The Hobby Circle, the senior branch of the 4-H club, took Handicrafts for its project this year. The members worked on their hobbies during the meetings, and prepared a note- book for exhibit. Later in the season Mrs. Hall, the county club agent, gave a talk on “What Is Expect- ed of the 4-H Club Girl.” Many parties were enjoyed during the year, and on April 5th the annual exhibit was held, with the members acting as hostesses to their mothers and friends. Cards and pins were presented according to the amount of work done by the different members.

During the year the members worked on a clothing project, making cotton dresses, accessories, underwear, sportswear, and gifts. These were shown in the exhibit on April 5th which was given with the senior group. In the regular meetings topics such as “The Ideal Girl” and “Manners” were discussed. In December a Christmas party was given, and gifts were exchanged. Small wreaths were made from pine sprays and hung on each classroom door. In February a Valentine party was held. During May the club assembled for picnics and bicycle rides. page forty-three ONAGAH..1938 PLES ONE. meri T TE ee ee Ee ES Seta ae en ee Christine Easson VaGe=Presid Ont ie ee ae ee ee ee aT aE rea ee een one Julia Bramucci TP COSUS CT SF CCE TORT ee RE TCE A eee eee ee Theresa Stolar Secretary Adviser Members—Rena Baldrate, Anna Costa, Marion Freitag, Stella Kochanek, Helen Kogut, Mary Laska, Ethel MacDowell, Arlene Munsing, Mary Sorcinelli, Shirley Waldron. For the first time in the history of Ludlow High School, a chance for girls to take up home mechanics was offered. With the assistance of Mr. Trapp, instructor in manual training, the girls formed a shop club. They first learned about tools and different kinds of materials used in wood-working. The making of book ends was chosen as their fir st project. Much publicity was given the club when a staff member of a local paper took pictures of the girls at work, and wrote an article on their accomplishments. During the year a few socials were also held. page forty-four ONAGAH..1938 PES eh HA Me MRC Ord E022 a VE esha Sea tethira lind yoni nddewea dechontode Pai Meda RODE GL teh Harry Merkel A RROCHULCM LE GLLO een ote RR Reem Paar ates ote erste asin e ash Tureen Un chee ca vetea nea endi dheteceeue ane Evelyn Bassett LITERARY STAFF: DT OLCWTAGET 2o8e sastiye, me rea bans MOOR bose op UD OPE ne RE ACTG oA ROE SA PNR Ot ORE PE Aig ALD A, Grace Guerra Mary Pukish, Doris Goddu, Christine Easson, Julia Sarad, Charlotte James, Mitchell Kue, Shirley Waldron, Annie Janes, Gloria Pereira.

The home courts are at Berkshire Street Playground, Indian Or- chard, because of the lack of suitable courts in town. This year the same team has returned and with the experience gained last season and during the summer, a good showing is ex- pected. LIFE SAVING Boys—D. Amos, J. Amos, R. Boudet, C. Craigie, R.

For the second consecutive year the local chapter of the American Red Cross pro- moted a life saving class at the Stevens’ Memorial Tank which proved very successful. About forty took the course of instruction with thirty-one receiving the senior and junior life saving insignias. This course is becoming so popular that it is impossible to take care of all those wishing to enter it, this year’s class being limited to senior high students only. It is hoped that with the aid of senior life savers formerly passed more can be taken care of in the future classes. page forty-seven ONAGAH..1938 page forty-eight ONAGAH..1938 VALLEY WHEEL PLAY CONTEST LUFC CCO Tae ee eRe Oe ys ee Ae eae a eee Laas ee hy Aha teem aeees Miss Florence M.

The Senior Dramatic Club has completed a most successful year. In December the club presented a Christmas program consisting of three plays: “A Christmas Chime”, “The Christmas Dinner”, and “Aunt Sabriny’s Christmas”. A turkey supper was held afterwards, with Mr. and Mrs. Joslow as guests. During the year quite a few parties were held, one of the outstanding ones being an Italian spaghetti supper.

This club has the distinction of being the first Western Massachusetts Boys’ Food Club in the 4-H field and has gained dis- tinction in the ability to cook and serve excellent dinners. Two boys are to attend camp during the summer.

At Christmas time the club had a party, and in April the members spent an afternoon visiting the art museums in Springfield. page forty-nine ONAGAH..1938 “4 HAPPY HUNTING GROUND 2000 A. D. A few Indians sit around the camp fire of their tribal Paradise. “Tt isn’t worth the trouble of striving hard to attain the peaceful life of the Happy Hunting Grounds now. Bah! it’s not peaceful any more!” Big Chief Gloom disgustedly ex- presses the thoughts which have been overshadowing the happiness of his tribe. “Tt’s that tribe of teachers from Ludlow High! They say that never has a tribe so upset cur Paradise,” retorts Little Sad Spirit. ‘First there are the physical education teachers —they are a real nuisance. Miss Borden has practically every squaw looking out for her weight, and Mr. Miner has organized a new soccer team that could even beat that of the 1938 team of Ludlow High.” “That isn’t all,” complains Little Heavy Heart. “Shakespeare argues every day with Mr. Burgess as to the interpretation of several passages, and Miss Staton stands by cor- recting both. Homer and Virgil, however, are not so ferociously attacked by Miss McDer- mott and Miss Elmer, who agree unanimously with the two Latin poets.” “Do you know who is keeping the Happy Hunting Ground’s books now? Of course Mrs. Cormier, with Miss Whitmore and Miss Tracy attending. It is said we have got out of debt, but I’d rather not have them poking around with their new systems.” “With Miss Bergeron prattling off French and praising the wonders of France, and Miss Saulnier wanting correct German pronunciation, we have not a word to put in,” sighs Big Chief Gloom. “The Happy Hunting Grounds have been precisely measured and remeasured by Miss Hitchcock and Mr. Carpenter who seem to disagree with Pythagoras on the diameter and height. Alas! All this was never needed until this exacting tribe came!” Soulful Eyes la- ments. “That star we saw falling from the heavens last night is blamed on those three scien- tists Mr. Longmore, Mr. Millane, and Mr. McMahon, who, it is said, wanted to change the placing of the stars.” “Miss Hubbell, you know, wants to change the landscape and wants to hang more mo- dern pictures on the walls. She even seems to think that the colors we have now do not harmonize. Miss Smith goes around with a tape measure, measuring the length of the stitches on our fathers’ robes! Mr. Trapp says our woodwork needs refinishing. And Mr. Messenger, oh woeful day that they ever came, claims that our choir is out of pitch.” “Our politics were once respectable and impartial, but since this tribe arrived with their political preaching, we are lost; we don’t know what to think. Mr. Peterson stands on a soap box denouncing Hitler and Mussolini; Mr. Rooney preaches against the evils of Communism; Miss Brooks tells us we must study to become good citizens, and Jr. Har- greaves continues to tell how George Washington never told a lie.” “Mr. Baird is a peaceful soul, but Mr. Joslow is running a close race against Demos- thenes for the Happy Hunting Ground’s title of greatest orator,” adds Big Chief Gloom. “Our troubles are not over; they are just beginning. I’m not a pessimist, but the future looks dark. I wonder about the Abode of the Underworld. Do you suppose vre might have more peace there?” The campfire flickers and goes out. The Indians sit silently staring into the clarkness. page fifty ONAGAH..1938 = CLASS WILL We, the class of 1938, about to “pass! out” of this sphere of education in full posses- sion of a crammed mind (we hope soon to conquer this feeling), do hereby publish this our last will and testament.
