A time like this demands Stong minds, great hearts, true faith and ready hands; Men whom the lust of office will not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess opinions and a will; Men who have honor, men who will not lie; Men who can stand before a demagogue And damn his treacherous flatteries without winking; Tall men, sun-crowned, who live above the fog In public duty, and in private thinking. For while the rabble with their thumb worn creeds, Their large profession and their little deeds, Mingle in selfish strife, lo! Freedom weeps, Wrong rules the land, and waiting Justice sleeps. This pcem, written in 1856, was never more appropriate than at the present day. We do, indeed, need men, men like Washington, like Lincoln, and above all like Theodore Roosevelt, one of the greatest Americans who has ever lived. And Roosevelt was a man such as this poem depicts. In Roosevelt’s own words life is “A battle royal—a battle for the man of clean hands and clean mind ; who can think straight and act square, the man who will stand for the right because it is right, who can say and mean it, that it is hard to fail but worse never to have tried to succeed.” When we picture Roosevelt, we see him in our mind’s eye perhaps only as the Rough Rider. Should we not think of him as the living embodiment of his own statement? Every act of the man was the expression of a strong, virile, mind and soul. Courage was his dominant characteristic. He clearly discerned what was the right and then stood for it because it was right. Fie was too downright to adopt men of expediency. Positive he was in thought, speech and action. When appointed President of the Police Commission of New York City, he found, on taking office, that New York was a den of wickedness. Vice was rampant. The police abetted crime and protected the vicious. Nothing daunted, Roosevelt proceeded to clean up the city. With characteristic energy and Page Ten CLASS BOOK OF I 92 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL boldness and with that clearness of vision that marked him, he reorganized the department, weeding out the bad from the good, thus creating the best body of police New York has ever had. Not only did he have courage to demand the right but persistency in holding to it in face of opposition. He had been in the New York Assembly a short time when one day he brought charges against a certain Judge Westbrook and demanded his impeachment on the ground that he had prostituted his high judicial office to serve the purpose of unscrupulous stock gamblers. Roosevelt was voted down; but day after day he repeated his demand. Finally, on the eighth day, a vote was taken to decide whether a committee should be appointed to investigate the judge. Roosevelt, by his persistency, won his point by a vote of 104 to 6. He was too straightforward to be a mere politician. “Honor goes before profit,” one of his mottoes, was hardly one for a politician. “Better be right, than be President” was another. Circumstances - fortunate for our country—forced him into the President’s chair. Here, too, difficulties were met with the same honesty, courage and wisdom. Difficult situations that might have involved us with European countries were tactfully and decisively handled. German attempts at encroachment were nipped in the bud. Such was the effort to gain a foothold in Venezuela for an attempt to dominate the Panama Canal. Better under¬ standing with both England and France was attained during his Presidency. Subserviency had no place in Roosevelt’s nature. Just before a State Banquet, the German Ambassador suggested to President Roosevelt that Prince Henry of Prussia, who was visiting the United States, should, as a Hohenzollern, and representative of the almightiest Kaiser, precede Roosevelt to the Banquet hall. The President replied curtly, “No person living precedes the President of the United States in the White House.” Roosevelt was the typical citizen of America, a man who possessed the spirit of youth and pioneering, who was a friend of all honest men and women, and who lived up to his convictions in his private and public life with courage and everlasting faith in humanity. He was a patriot. “To him love of country was as a living fire, as the very heart’s blood of his being.” In one of his speeches he said, “Every true patriot, every man of statesmanlike habits should look forward to the time when not a single European power shall hold a foot of American soil.” His motto was: “One flag, the American flag; one language, the English Page Eleven CLASS BOOK OF 1920A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL language; one loyalty, loyalty to the American people.” Let me close with a tribute paid him by his intimate friend, Jacob Riis: “Roosevelt was a Soldier, Statesman, Scientist, Student of Nature, Scholar, Writer on many subjects, Patriot and Christian Gentleman; a man whose watch¬ word was Duty, and whose guiding stars were Truth and Humanity, whose life was one of Service for the Right, for Country, and for God. Happy we who had such a friend ! Happy the American Republic which bore such a son!” tA.Yi. AW Page Twelve ORATION WAR IN MEXICO AND ITS OUTCOME JACOB PHILIP RUDIN There is an old rhyme, handed down through the ages, that follows this trend of thought: The good old way, the ancient plan, That he shall take who hath the might, And he shall keep who can. The spirit embodied in this rhyme seems to be that of some people in reference to America’s attitude toward Mexico. “Make war upon Mexico,” they say, “we have sufficient cause and superior strength which will give us victory in a very short while. A war with Mexico would be of a character so peculiar as to draw the attention of the whole world. It would be a war between such unequal combatants that its causes would be carefully scrutinized by other nations. Thus, the first effect of such a war would be upon our moral standing with the rest of the world. A war will convince no one that Mexico is a menace to our national safety—in fact, such a statement will place us in the same class with Germany when she alleged that Belgium was in league with France and England to conquer her. We may contend that official reports show that two hundred and nineteen Americans have been killed in Mexico during the past nine years, but what shall we answer when investigation shows that five hundred and forty-four Americans have been lynched here in the United States during the same length of time? Of course this comparison does not exonerate the Mexicans, yet it clearly shows the futility of making lawlessness the basis of war. American financial interests have probably been impaired in Mexico, They were in the recent constitutional changes in reference to oil mining. These new regulations make it necessary for a man to get a permit each time he wishes to bore a new well. They also, to some extent, increased the taxes on the wells. We ourselves, however, have not always considered foreign interests. What Page Thirteen CLASS BOOK OF 192 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL shall we say in regard to the anti-oriental land laws passed in California? People talk about our duty to enter Mexico - clean it up and bring peace and harmony out of the present chaos. Alien bayonets never produce “peace and harmony” They can do aught else but produce a deeper chaos and greater internal disruption. It is granted that we can conquer Mexico, but at what a cost! If we make war on Mexico it will not be with a small-scale armament. We will enter with a force of sufficient power and equipment to make any resistance useless, for we will not throw away American lives by carrying on the war with anything approaching evenly-matched battles. If all war necessitated was a seizure of the principal ports and cities, the force required would not be excessively large, but we are to enter a war for the suppression of bandits, and for that purpose we must despatch large bodies of troops throughout the country to crush out all opposition. The time necessary to do this, according to eminent military authorities, is two years; the force, not less than five hundred thousand men. This initial procedure means an outlay of two billion dollars and thereafter a continual financial drain of half a billion dollars a year for the maintenance of garrisons. And when we have finally conquered Mexico, how do the values returned compare with those expended ? The approximate American holdings in Mexico amount to a scant billion dollars. For an expenditure of two billions, one billion dollars are returned and countless, precious, American lives lost. Our interests are bound up not only in Mexico but in all the Latin American peoples south of Panama. The future trade with these nations will be worth many times over the profits derived from Mexican occupation. What will be the result if we go to war with Mexico? We shall incur the hostility of these people, for the South American nations will not calmly see one of their sister republics merged and assimilated with ours. From the time we enter Mexico, the South American people will regard our investments and commercial advances as tools of peaceful penetration leading to ultimate conquest. This is the proposition advanced to the American people—a war, which, for no worth-while returns, calls for the loss of a great many lives beside increased financial responsibility for every citizen in the land. Instead of trying to wage war with Mexico, let us find out something of the conquests which have made her what she is. Let us see some of the ideals for which she is struggling, and the trials which she is undergoing. When we have done these things, then shall we substitute sympathy and pity for our hatred; then will Mexico be understood and allowed to work out her destiny in her own way to ultimate victory over the present existing strife. Page Fourteen VALEDICTORY The Progress of Woman Through Opportunity ISABEL ELEANOR McNEVIN The recent election of Lady Astor to Parlia¬ ment is of great interest to us, both because she was an American girl, and because she is the first woman to hold such a high political office in England or in any other civilized country. Her election is, without doubt, one of the results of the war, through which woman made more progress than she had in the two hundred years previous. Up to the beginning of the nineteenth century, woman had practically no rights. To be sure an unmarried woman had more freedom, than did a married woman, but even so her privileges were few. Chief among the privileges denied her was the right to a higher education, the right to enter a profession, the right to hold office, and the right to vote. Of course there had been a few women, Lady Jane Grey, for example, or Queen Elizabeth, who were remarkably well educated, but both of these women were of noble rank, and because of this fact alone had access to knowledge. The great majority of women did not even dream of making any effort to improve their status. However, just before the beginning of the nineteenth century there began to appear women such as Mary Wollstonecraft, who demanded for women full freedom and equality with men. At a shortly later period there lived a woman who accomplished probably more for the advance of woman than had any one individual before her. This woman was Florence Nightingale, who, contrary to precedent and against the wishes of her parents, trained as a nurse, and so was ready when Opportunity, in the guise of the Crimean War, appeared. She, with her corps of women workers, accomplished wonders in organization and administration. Her success resulted in the establishment of a number of training schools for women nurses, and in the improvement of conditions in many of the hospitals, both in England and on the continent. In our own country Emma Willard stands out prominently—the pioneer in America who worked for women, and the first person in the world who obtained Page Fifteen CLASS BOOK OF I92 0A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL public money for their education. The founding of her school at Troy, New York in 1819 was followed by the establishment of the schools of Mt. Holyoke and Vassar, and it is only within fifty years that women have had the same educational and professional opportunities as men. With so much gamed, woman turned her attention toward securing suffrage. Immediately as much opposition was raised as there had been to the demand for higher education for women. After a struggle school suffrage was granted to them by most states, and still later several states gave them complete suffrage. However, this was not enough, and the suffragists were striving for complete suffrage for all women with more or less success when the war, woman’s great Opportunity, came. The war found England and France, and later, America practically un¬ prepared. Something had to be done. Men were needed, thousands of them. They had to be taken from every profession, from every trade. Industrial ruin was prophecied, for there seemed to be no one to take their places. It was at this juncture, however, that women stepped in. They filled the factories, the stores, the offices. They entered all the professions and trades. They assumed civic duties. They enlisted for service in the hospitals at home and abroad. No task was too hard for them, no risk was too great. The world was astonished. Then came the end of the war and with it the question, “What will woman do?” The answer has come in the enfranchisement of the women of practically all the civilized nations of the world and more recently in the election of a woman to parliament. The world has been made to realize that “the woman’s cause is man’s,” and although the future is uncertain, if the woman of the future is as quick to grasp her opportunities and to make the best of them as the women of the past and of the present have been, then will come the golden age which Tennyson prophecied years ago, when there will be “everywhere Two heads in council, two beside the hearth, Two in the tangled business of the world, Two in the liberal offices of life, Two plummets dr opt for one to sound the abyss Of science, and the secrets of the mind.” Classmates, Tonight we meet together for the last time as students of the Malden High School. For four years we have recited, studied, and played together as carefree boys and girls and now we are ready to go forth into a new life—a life full of responsibilities and cares, a life for which our High School courses have been preparing us. Our four years together have meant much to us and it is with a Page Sixteen CLASS BOOK OF 1920A . MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL touch of regret at separating that we turn our faces toward the future. However, although we may no longer be working together as boys and girls in school, still may we as young men and young women of America work together for the progress of the race. cUpio-v h. 1 r -!sl .

Here, we received a great deal of good advice and instruction concerning the various institutions and organizations of the school from a gentleman who we soon learned was our headmaster, Mr. Jenkins. Soon after, we were assigned to our home rooms, which were, for the most part, on the third floor. During our first four weeks in school we all studied with a great deal of diligence, but I regret to say that in most cases, such diligence was, I fear, short¬ lived. We all agreed, however, that high school was preferable to grammar school, but that a freshman’s life was exceedingly monotonous. The baseball team that spring was a very good one, and naturally we, as freshmen, thought that much of the success was due to our lusty cheering. It was without regret, however, that we handed in our books and left for our summer vacation. Much to our joy, the opening of school in September was delayed a few weeks by an epidemic of infantile paralysis. Although still infants, none of us suffered from the malady. When we did return to school, the vacation was amply paid for by the long home lessons inflicted upon us. This semester our class was honored by having two of its members, Josiah Crawford and Edwin Fowle, on the Blue and Gold staff. The football team this year was a crack team, and we had the supreme joy of seeing Everett beaten by a score of 20 to 0. This fall, the school committee having decided that the physical standing of freshmen was very low, it became necessary for us to take physical training under the able supervision of Coach Dwyer. I might say here that many of Page Twenty CLASS BOOK OF 192 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL the class distinguished themselves as monkeys in the proficient manner in which they climbed the ropes. A few of them have still kept up that reputation much to the disgust of our teachers. In February we found ourselves no longer unsophisticated freshmen but very self-important sophomores, whose chief occupation consisted in making the life of the freshies miserable. In March, a three-day campaign was held to raise the necessary funds for the completion of the purchase of the high school athletic field. This campaign was a success in every way, and the field finally became the property of the school. The girls’ basket-ball team this year was fortunate in having the services of two of our classmates, Miss Blanchard and Miss Egan. Since then they have developed into stars, and have aided greatly in making the Malden team a championship team. In April the school was astonished by the success with which the Senior English Club gave “The Chuzzlewits.” The class was represented in this production by one who, during his high school career, has distinguished him¬ self as a dramatic star. This distinction undoubtedly counted for a great deal in his election as president of the class. In May we enjoyed a musical comedy entitled “The Nautical Knot” produced jointly by the Literary and Usona societies. In the fall another stellar light appeared in our midst. Max Nayor became the first-string guard and afterward center on the football team. He received his “M” and a place on the interscholastic team of the state. In December the Senior English Club presented the “Taming of the Shrew” which was very favorably received by the dramatic critics of the school. It was during the next semester that we began the study of that interesting and soul inspiring language known as “Dutch.” Certain members of the class being rather childish. Miss MacGlaughlin decided that “Grimm’s Fairy Tales” would be a fitting work for us to start on. Another interesting subject which we encountered this term was chem¬ istry. In fact Holmes enjoyed the subject so much that he started a cute little bonfire in the “lab” one day, but Mr. Thompson did not seem to appreciate the spirit with which the thing was done, and proceeded to dampen Holmes’ ardor with the aid of a tank of water. When Mr. Johnson succeeded to the position of chemistry instructor, he evidently expected that we would soon be fighting in France, for we were subjected to many drills on the use of deadly poisonous gases. We were now Juniors, and studies which heretofore had occupied a secondary place in our minds, began to require more of our time. Page Twenty-one CLASS BOOK OF 192 0A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL During the summer months some of our members who were strong advo¬ cates of the simple life, found employment on the farms at Lenox and Stock- bridge. The good work which they did there was well repaid by the signing of the armistice a few months later. The result of this memorable occasion was a holiday and a parade. The High School was the backbone of the parade, chiefly on account of the noise produced by its members. 1 his fall we had a fairly good football team, but the one thing that attracted the unheard of crowds, was our noble cheer leader, “Ham” Lind- strom. Representatives of the fair sex flocked from far and wide to see this human dynamo in action. In spite of the volume of sound drawn from the spectators by this genius, we lost the Thanksgiving day game. 1 he fourth annual school play took place in December. This produc¬ tion, entitled “Monsieur de Beaufort,” was adapted by one of our own class¬ mates, Edwin Fowle. He certainly covered himself with glory as the leading man, and his reputation as a playwright was made over-night. About this time, Max Nayor, our star half-back was chosen captain of the 1919 football team. During this semester, many of our class contracted the careless habit of leaving thumb-tacks in various persons’ chairs. As a result, frequent involun¬ tary uprisings occurred in our midst. By this time most of us were well established in the social whirl. The seductive charms of the fair damsels from Melrose proved to be too much for our innocent and unsophisticated young men, and much money was realized by the Bay State Street Railway Company in carfares resulting therefrom. However, our gallant lads soon discovered the advantages offered by an automobile, and the above mentioned company suffered a state of liquidation. But our pleasure was soon to cease, for we were destined to become dignified Seniors. As Seniors most of us were placed under the protection of Miss Her¬ rick’s maternal wing. The remainder of the class was introduced to Mr. Merrill. They all agreed that his one o’clock tea-parties were unexcelled. Those in M iss Herrick’s room were permitted, yea, even encouraged to exert their vocal powers and sing. The assemblies this semester were very interesting. Returned veterans thrilled us with their tales of No Man’s Land, and ex-navy men modestly related their experiences on board torpedoed boats. Page Twenty-two CLASS BOOK OF I92 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL This spring we were compelled to set the clocks back one hour and as a result we lost some much needed sleep. The following morning many were late, and still more had unprepared lessons. Toward the last of April, the Y. D. Parade was held in Boston. The excitement, combined with the extreme cold weather, made the cold shivers chase each other up and down our spines. The next item of interest was the annual Lit-Usona production, “Bach¬ elor Hall.” We’ll say that Fessenden is some sleuth, and that the talent displayed by Isabel McNevin was a pleasant revelation to us. On this year’s baseball team, the class was ably represented by Louis Hill and Herb O’Hare. The former’s shoe-string catches certainly brought much applause from the small number who graced the stands. With the advent of warm June nights. Lake Quannapowitt lured many a fellow and his best girl from their home studies. Throughout the semester our esteemed president, Mr. Fowle, and the president of class eight, had been arguing about a senior reception. Fowle insisted that class eight should tender us the reception. Unfortunately they could not see the matter in that light and we must needs elect a committee to run a reception. I will not cause you to shed tears by relating the horrors and tribulations through which we passed. Nevertheless we had the reception. The quantity of ice cream consumed by class eight exceeded anything here¬ tofore known. After refreshments had been served we danced, and after the dancing we dragged our weary feet homeward. Fortunately school closed the next week and we departed for our vacations. The following September we returned for our last semester as under¬ graduate students of Malden High. Almost the first news that greeted us was the notification that our lessons were going to be made harder. We ac¬ cepted this philosophically, and assimilated physics, German and Latin with added zeal. We were still with Miss Herrick, much to Lindstrom’s glee and her disgust. We joined with Miss ' Norris’ room in our morning singing, and later both rooms enjoyed selections on the phonograph. The football team this season was the best in a number of years. Much credit is due to the wonderful spirit displayed by the student body, the Malden citizens, and the Bimboes. We lost the Everett game this year, and the super- Page Twenty-three CLASS BOOK OF I92 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL stitious ones believed that it was because Nay or found a black cat in his desk one morning. In December “Nicholas Nickleby” was successfully produced. A large part of the cast was made up of our classmates. The schoolroom was con¬ sidered a masterpiece by all except Davenport. Such scenes are too good to be true in these civilized times, however. In January we took advantage of a tradition handed down to us and observed freak-day. In spite of the fact that we incurred the displeasure of the faculty, the spectators seemed to enjoy the spectacle fully as well as we did. And now the time has come when we must put our school days behind us and take up the more serious occupations of life. We shall not soon forget the happy hours which we have spent in good old Malden High, and we are confident that we have not spent the time in vain. We hope that the coming generations will continue to uphold and further the interests of the school as we have, and that the thought foremost in their minds will be faithfulness to their school-work. Page Twenty-four CECILIA E. SIDEN Perhaps a doubt as to the truth of the statements here given may enter your minds. Having forseen this possibility and being a staunch believer in the saying, “Forwarned is Forarmed,” I have had the facts sworn to by a Justice of the Peace. This step has been taken to relieve any doubts arising from the weirdness and uncanniness of some of the incidents related. Up to the time of the occurence of these incidents, such things as spiritualism, the occult and kindred subjects had very little, if any, interest for me. It was known among my friends that spirits would receive but harsh treatment in my hands. Indeed, I am much surprised at the abrubt change which has taken place in me, and which has changed me from a scoffer at the occult to one of its most enthusiastic supporters. And all because I have been chosen prophetess of my class! Being of an easy gomg disposition, I accepted the commission and dismissed it from my mind. Days passed and I was suddenly brought to myself with a start when 1 heard one of my editors mention the prophecy in a casual way. I fled panic sticken and started to bemoan my cruel fate at having been made the victim of a plot; all of which brought me back where I was in the first place—nowhere! In this state of mind I wandered from my room in an aimless manner, until I was suddenly brought to my senses by a “Hello, Sis! Haven’t seen you for ages! How’ve you been?” Professor Low, for so my interrogator proved to be, occupied the chair of Psychology at one of the leading colleges. He was a close friend of the family and spent many evenings in pleasant argument with me over spiritual phenomena. He asked me why I looked so downcast, and I told him my predicament. I finally turned to him in an appealing manner and said, “Professor, can you think of any possible way out of my dilemma?” Page Twenty-five CLASS BOOK OF 1 92 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL “Be at my office at eight,” he answered, “and I promise that it will be worth your while.” Before I could thank him, he hurried away, leaving me behind, filled with hope. The next day, promptly at eight, I was at the professor’s office, there to await impatiently the coming of my friend. In a few moments he arrived, and after greeting me warmly, sat down at his desk and prepared to assist me in my difficulty. “As you see, I have been working for the last fifteen years on a machine which I have been trying to perfect, which will allow me to see into the fu¬ ture.” This astounding statement left me speechless, for I saw at once how the professor intended to help me out of my trouble. Then he went on to tell me that my case was one which would show the efficiency of his machine. He asked whether I could bring a mental picture of my classmates into my mind’s eye. I answered in the affirmative, which seemed to please him immensely. He took me by the arm and led me into a room which he called his “seance room.” He placed me in front of a gigantic machine, fitted up with numberless wires and electrical devices. A tripod supporting a huge crystal ball was centered in the heart of the machine. Directly in front of it appeared a pair of finely-mounted lenses. Leading from the sides of the machine were a pair of wired tubes resembling telephone receivers. Finally everything was ready, and all lights were turned out. The doctor pressed a button and a soft, purring sound from the machine, with a sudden illumination of the crystal ball resulted. I waited eagerly for my final instructions. The professor turned to me and said, “You may bring your comrades whom you wish to visualize into your mind, either singly or collectively. The success of this depends on your ability to concentrate your mind on the subject into whose future you wish to gaze, and to exclude all other things therefrom.” With these final words he adjusted the ear-pieces, and asked me to focus the lenses on a tiny point in the center of the crystal ball, where I noticed the date 1930. A final switch was turned and I felt a slight shock pass through my body. The receivers buzzed and the entire machine seemed to become imbued with life. My mind struggled for composure and finally my will won. I concen¬ trated on Joseph Krohn, and soon action seemed to be taking place in the crystal ball. Things became clearer and clearer. Buildings flashed before my startled vision, then a city came into sight, and finally the picture became Page Twenty-six CLASS BOOK OF 192 0A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL constant. The Orpheum Theatre came into focus, and presently the stage was before me. There on the boards dancing away was Krohn. He had originated a dance which had won his fame and fortune. Girls flocked from far and near to watch his performance. His gracefulness was giving enjoy¬ ment to the pleasure-loving public. But alas, that was not all. I must needs mention that Joe was married and the proud father of twins which swelled his heart with joy and filled his ears with clamor. It’s a sure sign of inheri¬ tance, the babies can kick as well as their father. While still on Washington Street, I noticed a good-natured crowd watching a man of great height who was displaying placards, advertising a new machine for bookkeeping which would save time and hand labor. I brought the man nearer to me, and there was Max Rawson. As usual. Max had a grin on his face from ear to ear and made funny remarks which con¬ vulsed the crowd. I dismissed the vision and passed on. With a whirring of scenery the Boston Opera House was now shown to me. Long lines of people were waiting to get to the ticket seller’s window, and I wondered what the great attraction could be. On looking at the bill¬ board, I found that Marian Decker, the celebrated prima donna, and Leona Berman, the distinguished violinist, were to perform the next week. A few years before this, we had the pleasure of hearing Marian and Leona perform. The scene changed and I beheld tall church spires and wonderful struc¬ tures flashing by me. Finally peace came in the ball and my vision centered on an immense crowd of people who seemed to be absorbed in listening to a speaker who gesticulated wildly, and called in imploring tones to “grant women the vote.” I noticed his features closely, and almost passed away when I found that it was Francis Murphy, who scarcely ever said “Boo!” in school, and whose very existence some doubted, was now upholding the cause of downtrodden women, and making himself heard in this strenuous fashion! I sighed and closed my eyes upon it all and gradually the scene faded away. I opened my eyes again, and soon I was travelling at a quick pace, stop¬ ping never. The outlandish noises in my ears continued until I came to a small city, when immediately the agitation in the ball ceased and my eyes were soon centered on a rambling building. Gardens containing the most beautiful flowers could be seen, and rural quiet brooded over all. On a wide porch sat several old ladies, who seemed to be enjoying these, their last days, in peace and contentment. The front of the building bore the name which seemed to me rather queer, “The Cage (Gage) of Peace.” The words were soon ex- Page Twenty-seven CLASS BOOK OF I 92 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL plained when the superintendent of the place made his appearance, for he proved to be William Gage, the irresistible charmer of the fair! I had become so used to being shocked that I didn’t wince a particle. My earphones gave me an inkling of what it was all about, when one of the old women said to a neighbor of hers, “Without that noble man we would perhaps be starving somewhere.” It flashed upon me that Gage’s love for the ladies had caus ed him to build the “Old Ladies’ Home of Ipswich.” I willed again and this scene vanished. The crystal ball next took me over rolling plains and prairies. I was evidently somewhere in the West. Here and there the sky was dotted with tiny specks which proved to be aeroplanes, and I could plainly hear the drum¬ ming of their motors. Finally one of the planes descended, and a sprightly young man, as I supposed, leaped from one of the seats. Upon closer inves¬ tigation I discovered the individual to be our star basket-ball player, Dot Egan. As soon as I recognized her, I looked around for her constant com¬ panion, and sure enough little Hazel Blanchard, another of our former basket¬ ball stars, was seated as the pilot of the aeroplane. Her outfit was so large one could hardly see her. For the old saying goes, “Wherever Dot goes, her little lamb is sure to follow.” Bidding Dot and Hazel a mental “au revoir,” the aviation field and all else disappeared, and I willed myself to other hands. The crystal ball now carried me eastward and soon I found myself gazing on dear old Boston. My attention was attracted to a skyscraper in the process of construction. Men were busily engaged laying its mighty frame¬ work. Two contractors, who were Carl Phillips and Edward Peterson, were having a hot argument over some business proposition. My earphones gave me an idea of what it was about. This from Phillips, “Heads I win, tails you lose.” Poor Peterson agreed to these terms. Ed was always a good loser. I then shut them from my vision. In a twinkling of an eye the United States was left behind and strange lands passed before me. At last a sign-post pointing to Madrid appeared, and I knew that I was in Spain. The movement in the ball ceased, and I gazed upon a sight which I had never hoped to see. There before me was an immense structure seating thousands upon thousands of people, who were gaz¬ ing intently upon a man in combat with a fierce old bull. Yes, I was seeing a bull-fight and finally I saw the bull overcome by an angular faced man, who seemed utterly fearless. My earphones brought such sounds as “Vive el Americano!” “Vive el Davenport!” to my eager ears. A sudden stroke Page Twenty-eight CLASS BOOK OF 192 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL pierced the bull’s jugular vein. He swayed dizzily, attempted to charge his tormentor and sank to the turf. Davenport had thrown the bull—he of the voluble tongue! I am convinced that the foundation of his dexterity was obtained at Malden High. Just as I was leaving him, I noticed several en¬ thusiastic people congratulating him, who were no other than Margaret Han¬ cock, Frieda Eisenberg, and Herbert O’Hare, who were touring the world. They all faded from my sight and new scenery passed in review. My eyes opened on such swiftly moving scenery at this point that dizzi¬ ness overcame me for a moment. When I came to again, I noticed all signs were printed in French. Finally Paris itself with its hushed gaiety was brought before me, and again the motion of the ball ceased. There in front of one of the cafes, I saw our former football star. Max Nayor. Around him was a happy squad of boys. “Mac” was a coach of a French University which had ju t won the championship for the season. He did not have any trouble with their mother tongue, thanks to Miss Durkee. He was known throughout France and was a favorite of everybody as he was in his school days. I left “Mac” just as he was making preparations for coming back to America in time for the Malden-Everett game. A new disturbance appeared before me and countless cities and towns whisked by until finally New York with its towering sky-scrapers and won¬ derful lights flashed into view. The Hippodrome seemed to be clamoring for attention, so I concentrated on the interior. The place was crowded with people intently watching two men who were hypnotizing members of the audience. Who were they but Joseph Batting and Willard Coleman! The next thing which interested me was the appearance of the Wood Sisters, who gave lectures on “How to be Happy though Married.” I wonder if they will solve this problem. Have no doubt, as both Gertrude and Elena have very sweet dispositions. As this picture faded, I concentrated on Edwin Fowle; and shortly Fowell, with its busy mills and buzzing industry, appeared in the ball. A large factory on the right soon attracted my attention. The office building bore Fowle’s name. Can you imagine Eddie in the textile industry—Eddie the favorite of his class, the wonderful impersonator of an old man, a real dignified business man? Ed saw more of a future in business than in the theatrical line, and certainly did make good at it. Truly this is a funny world and chuck full of surprises. Page Twenty-nine CLASS BOOK OF 1 92 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL Lowell disappeared and the next view that came into the crystal ball was in Medford. There seemed to be a great deal of business-like activity. I noticed a young girl in particular. She carried a large sign which she waved in the passengers’ faces. On it were the words, “Horse Racing between Muriel Johnson and Doris Enslin at 3 P. M. Admission 50c. Proceeds for a Worthy Cause.” Hazel Harden served as the advertiser. As she was drawing crowds to the race, I travelled on and Providence took its place in the globe. The action came to a standstill at a building which bore the sign, “Wyman Randall, Actresses Supplied for All Leading Pro¬ ductions.” Well, I wasn’t a bit surprised, for Randall was always fond of the fair sex. He had opened a theatrical agency for the opportunities it offered. As I left him, I thought, “How the other boys must envy him!” Providence faded from the ball and I was taken back to the old Bay State. Boston came into view and action stopped on Tremont Street in front of a tall building. The third story was shown to me and in the women’s shop “Miss Leah Powers, Women’s Beauty Specialist,” had located. The number of women waiting in line to be treated showed that she had achieved marked success. As she could not take care of them all alone, she had an assistant, Agnes Ulrich, who became essential to the business. Several compounds which Leah had put on the market were eagerly sought for. “Baldine guaranteed to grow hair on a billiard ball. Wrinkline guaranteed to remove wrinkles from chew¬ ing gum.” I couldn’t help admiring her ability in so easily deceiving such exacting creatures as women usually are. I was just about to leave when my attention was attracted by a sign which read, “Wholesale Manufacturer of Earrings. Something Entirely New. Alice Tryphena Hutchins, Originator.” Inside I found Alice seated before a mirror donning a pair of “peanut earrings.” She was demonstrating before an enthusiastic customer, who was no other than Hilda Wettergreen. I pon¬ dered for a few moments, and an incident which took place a few years ago came back to me. One day when Alice was feeling as good-natured as usual, she walked into the shorthand class wearing a pair of peanuts on her ears. It took the class as well as the teacher, a few moments to control their laughter. She was always up to some prank or other. Wonders never cease! Just as I was leaving the building, I noticed a person who looked fa¬ miliar. A shock of never-to-be-mistaken hair told me at once that it was Ralph Welch. He had an office in the same building, where he became wealthy, Page Thirty CLASS BOOK OF 1920A . MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL owing to the wonderful success in selling a marvelous “Sweet Scented Cream” which he had manufactured. As he left the building, this scene vanished. It was but a short time before action was again noticed in the ball, and I was once more “en route.” This time my journey was comparatively short and I found myself in a chemical laboratory. Barbara Kennedy had become a chemist and was endeavoring to extract the odor from the Bermuda Onion. I wondered whether she will succeed. I left Barbara just as she was wiping the tears from her eyes after an experiment. I must confess I didn’t envy her. As Boston gradually faded from my view, I thought of Madeline Stodder. Immediately New York became focused in the center of the ball. There in one of the fashionable women’s shops was Madeline arrayed in a compicuous gown. She goes abroad every year and brings back gorgeous creations which only the most courageous dare wear. Just as I was ready to make my departure, I noticed two women conversing. My earphones brought me parts of their conversation. Esther Smith and Estrid Strand had worked diligently for over a year on a bill in the Senate to have the steps on the Ele¬ vated made lower. But it failed to pass as styles changed and full skirts were then in vogue. The next picture that was presented to me was a striking one. On round¬ ing a corner I came across three very attractive police women, gorgeously attired in red coats, white skirts and visored hats. Upon closer observation they proved to be Elizabeth Grier, Hazel Robinson, and Florence Gottholm. They were gathered around a mounted police officer, who was giving them instructions. His appearance was very familiar, and at a turn of his head, I recognized Wentworth Perry. Wentworth started his career very early in his high school days. Now all the police women were under his supervision. He also had another faithful worker, Miriam Hardy, who drove the police ambulance. This was not her first experience, as she had had her own car even in school days. I was next taken to Fifth Avenue. As I thought of Hill, an artist shop came into focus, and presently I saw a young man working intensely on a beautiful painting, entitled “Vacation’s End.” It was a picture of a beautiful girl sitting on a rock by the seaside. Her handsome curls looked very familiar to me, and as I glanced up the other end of the studio, I saw Natalie Hodg- don, who was Lou’s model. It was surprising to see how many classmates I found working together. Page Thirty-one CLASS BOOK OF 192 0A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL As I dismissed the scene from my mind, I concentrated on Fessenden and immediately dear old Malden came into view. It seemed to be election day and Raymond was a candidate for Mayor. One of his staunch sup¬ porters was Elsie McPhee. Automobiles were racing back and forth with his slogan, “Down with the capitalists, down with private ownership!” He advocated the same ideas when he attended Malden High some few years before. Wishing him success, I willed again and this time I had not far to go. Ther e on Pleasant Street, I noticed a chap devouring the contents of a newspaper. No wonder Lindstrom was overwhelmed with enthusiasm. This was the ad he read: “Wanted: A young man as Mother’s Helper. Must be active and alert.” Sure enough, “Ham” applied and with Miss Herrick’s reference, secured the position. He made a success and won the friendship of his employer. Doris Folsom was quite fortunate in having such a helper in her home, as he relieved her from many of her household duties. Again the view changed. States and cities flew by in such a rapid succession, that I soon found myself away out in California. After seeing most of the state, my gaze finally centered in San Francisco. In one of the quietest nooks in the city I found a small library bearing this sign, “Crawford’s Library. Exclusive Poetry Con¬ tributed by the Founder.” The inside of the place looked very comfortable. Josiah had also written several books. One of his books which won fame was, “How to Increase One’s Vocabulary.” Joe always did speak well. I noticed someone seated at the desk, and sure enough, there was Winifred Gavin. She always seemed to like that kind of work. Crawford was certainly fortunate in securing such a helper as Winifred. I then left them in this haven of plenty and passed on. I found myself travelling again and soon the White House came into view. Then I knew I was in Washington. Throngs of people were going to the Supreme Court. I wondered what the attraction could be and endeavored to find out. I was not at all surprised to see Arthur Baker, an eminent lawyer now, taking up a case for Gordon Joyce. Baker was trying to get Louis Hill to break up his contract with Natalie Hodgdon, for the benefit of Gordon, who was seriously contemplating marriage with the pretty model. As the jury was leaving to decide the verdict, I took a last look at Joyce’s serious face, and the scene faded from before me. While still in Washington, I saw Isabel McNevin, our valedictorian, coming out of the White House with a happy look on her face. She had just Page Thirty-two ■ ■■— n - —« —■ ■ ■— ■! — CLASS BOOK OF 1920A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL received word from the authorities that she was going to be sent to Japan to take charge of the new school for American children, which had just been completed. Isabel was worthy of her commission. I then thought of Rubin and Rudin. The motion in the center of the ball stopped short. I came to a large building on which there was a huge sign reading, “Rubin Rudin, Geometry Professors.” Both were authors of a new Super-Solid Geometry, which because it introduced the fourth dimension was having a great sale. But it seemed that these two were still discontented on account of the similarity of their last names. They were always on the lookout for the man who would invent a new English Alphabet which would eliminate all chances of mistaking a “b” for a “d.” All this confusion was caused because Rudin opened a letter intended for Rubin, which was written by Rubin’s sweetheart. Just as I left them I overheard a part of their con¬ versation. John Finn had just had a bill passed successfully in the Senate. I didn’t wait to hear what it was, but I know that John has the power of speech, and can influence one very easily. Washington gradually faded from my view and I shut mv eyes. As I did so, I happened to think of Abbie Murphy and Josephine MacLeod. Both girls had just returned from scouring the country for material for their popular book, entitled “Who’s Married and Why.” They encountered two of their classmates during their journey, who gave them quite a good deal of matter. I learned that these girls were Lillian Silliker and Ruth Kimball. Back again the machine brought me to the State of New Hampshire, and stopped at Derry. I focused on a beautiful building surrounded by extensive gardens and found it to be a school house. Inside, bending over his desk, was Frederic Holmes, our salutitorian, who was the principal of this school. At a desk nearby was a typist whose fingers were rapidly typing letters. She proved to be Jessie Shanley, who was always a competent stenographer. I saw other familiar faces in the building. Ruth Lyke taught Zoology, a subject in which she excelled in her school days. In another room was Doris Flanders teaching English. As I left her room, I heard footsteps coming up the cor¬ ridor. I noticed a pompous looking man carrying a bag. The gentleman, on close observation, proved to be Jacob Epstein, who was the school physician. Still another of our classmates was connected with this school. Alice Hurwitz was at the head of the shorthand department. She originated the Hurwitz system, which was being introduced in many schools. Alice was always an expert at stenography and at the head of her class in that subject. She had two able assistants, who were Mildred Fredericks and Caroline Peterson. I left them all and travelled to the State College in Durham. In the gym, I saw Samuel Melnick with boxing gloves, pacing up and down in a sort of arena. He is going to win great renown as the champion heavyweight pugilist of the world. Sam was always athletically inclined. Page Thirty-three CLASS BOOK OF I920A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL As I left Sam, I concentrated on Bettina Winer and soon I came to Keene, New Hampshire. Here she inherited a fortune, but intends to come back home and purchase the lake at Wakefield, in order that every afternoon, when the weather permits, she may give all school children under ten a free canoe ride. Bettina always had a charitable nature. Upon thinking over the Class of 1920A, I found that I was the only one mto whose future I had not gazed. Being naturally interested, I thought I would make the best of the opportunity and see where I would have found myself. But where do you think I was? In the new Malden High School Field! I arrived just as Malden made a sweeping victory over Everett. Sure enough, the famous coach Nayor was present and this is the cheering I heard through my earphones: Oh me, Oh my, Oh mother, Oh mother, Oh me, Oh my, Three cheers for ex-Captain Nayor And the boys from Malden High. I raised my head as I signalled that I had finished, and Professor Low switched the lights on just as I toppled out of the chair, fainting from ex¬ haustion. 1 he weakness soon passed, and I was able to tell the professor that his machine was the most wonderful invention of the age. Tears of gratitude filled my eyes as I thanked him for his help, as did tears of joy come from his, at the news that his machine was a success. I then departed for home and for a much-needed rest, for I was completely exhausted as a result of my extensive and nerve-racking travels.

Page Fifty-eight MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL Page Fifty-nine ODDS AND ENDS THE CEASS BOOK The “Class Book” now seems to be an institution of the school and let’s hope it will remain so. Our s is the second to be published and we have followed the general scheme of the first in order that the series may be uniform. We understand that 1920B has already started on the third. We wish them luck. It was a hard job—especially the writing of the biographies and the soliciting of advertising. The class certainly owes a debt of gratitude to the members of these departments. The biographers spent over fifty hours on their work. However, the staff does not complain; and, if the class is satisfied with what they have done, why—so are they. Those members of the class who were promoted with honor or credit more than four times are as follows: Elizabeth Grier (8), Hazel Harden (5), Natalie Helena Hodgdon (8), Frederic Fletcher Holmes (5), Barbara Kennedy (6), Isabel Eleanor McNevin (8), Jessie Margaret Shanley (5). OUR TEACHERS Poor, unfortunate, pestered, abused, patience-tried, vituperated, misunderstood, and unappreciated persons—our teachers. For four long years, they have been the text of our most interesting study—people. Through watching their irregular and frequently erratic deportment, we have learned more of human and inhuman nature than from any other thus far encountered source. For four years, we have discussed them openly and picked them to pieces without mercy. We have called them by familiar, derisive, and opprobrious nicknames. We have praised their patience and good-nature with gratitude, and condemned their irascibility with bitter vehemence. We have come to know them and appraise their worth. In spite of our natural prejudices, we must admit that they have, for the most part, proved to be worthy of our profound respect. Let us not forget John Bushell, our former vice-president. OURSELVES Stupid, mischievous, irresponsible, untrustworthy, undependable savages—our¬ selves. We skipped school at the slighest inclination. We did all we could to annoy and tire our teachers. We tried as hard as we could not to learn anything. We Page Sixty CLASS BOOK OF 19 2 0 A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL whispered simply to make a noise. We were late to school because we didn’t like to read the “Morning Hour.” We put thumb tacks in people’s chairs and cats in people’s desks. We threw erasers and chalk. We played tag up and down the aisles. We scribbled pencil marks over the woodwork. We tore up paper and threw the pieces on the floor. We chewed gum. We whittled the desks. We knocked our comrades’ books about. We threw darts across the room. We put H2S in the chalk trays. We poured acid down the laboratory sinks and spilled burning phosphorus over the desks. We talked back to our teachers. We cribbed and fibbed. In short, the only thing we did not do was study. Here’s to Miss Ruston, our guardian angel from the Faculty. OUR OUTING Ever since the semi-annual graduation was instituted in the Malden schools, the classes graduating in February have not held any outing. “An outing in winter? Br-r-r! Have a heart!” That was the attitude generally assumed. But our class has proved -quite conclusively, I think—that winter is the very best time for such an affair. But even some of our own classmates remained at home because it was snowing! Why, the snow was a blessing in itself. It enhanced the beauty of the woods as we tramped merrily through them, and made the fire in the bungalow all the more cosy by contrast. Do you remember the hike, the skiing, the basket-lunch, the games, the toasted mashmallows? Remember them! Will it be possible to ever forget them! Although we can boast of several class poets, we can not boast of a class poem. Where was Joe Crawford in this crisis? OUR THEATRE PARTY The theatre party brought to a close a perfect day. The performance was “Betty Be Good” at the Shubert. The seats were good and the show was good. In fact, everything was good except Betty. The following day, we noticed a decided improvement for the worse in our class vamps. We wish to thank Miss Jeffers, Miss Lane, Miss Ruston, and Miss Cousins for chaperoning us upon various occasions. Page Sixty-one CLASS BOOK OF 1920A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL OUR LAST DAY Probably the pleasantest day we ever spent in school was the last—not because it was the last, you understand, but simply because of the freedom and the kindness bestowed upon us by the authorities. First came the “Class Day” exercises, when we were placed upon the stage for the school to give us the “once-over;” then, the presenting of gifts—always a pleasure; and finally, the dancing in the gymn until the close of school! As Natalie remarked, “if every day had only been the last!” We are very grateful to the class of 1920B (and to those who assisted them) for our reception, which we believe to have been one of the best ever afforded a graduating class.

I’ll be there at ten o’clock sharp.” Miss Child (glancing over the tops of her spectacles): “Are you sure that this is an entirely original composition you have handed in?” Rudin: “Yes’m. But you may have come across one or two of the words in the dictionary.” PHYSICS TEST QUESTIONS 1. What is a couple ? 2. What is the arm of the couple? 3. What is the moment of the couple? 4. What is the resultant of a couple? ANSWERS 1. Two souls with but a single thought. 2. His arm generally. 3. The moment when no one is looking. 4. Wedding. Miss Child: “What writer had the largest vocabulary next to Shakespeare? Crawford: “Webster.” Two sophs boasting over which had seen the best parrot. 1 st. soph: “I saw a parrot that could whistle ‘Home Sweet Home’ so beautifully that tears would flow from his beak.” 2nd. soph. “Why that’s nothing. I saw a parrot once that could whistle ‘The Village Blacksmith’ so well that sparks would fly from his tail.” If you see a complexion that’s peaches and cream. Remember, things always arn’t just what they seem; Just take a good look and come out of your dream, It’s camouflage! “Kid Knock ’Em.” Nayor, after an afternoon’s football practice, goes to the phone. Central: “Number, please?” Nayor: “Signals 248—er—ah—pardon me, I mean 2489 Malden, please.” Mr. Johnson: “I see by the paper that nitrates are higher.” Holmes: “Well, we don’t care; we never telegraph anyway.” Conductor: “Your fare, Miss.” Elsie: “Do you really think so?” Miriam: “Gee, this pen is a peach!” Randall: “Yes, and so is the holder.” Davenport: “Say, officer, would you mind telling me to move on? I ' ve been waiting here an hour for Madeline Stodder.” Page Sixty-three CLASS BOOK OF 1920A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL A little ray of moonlight.
