CLASS BOOK OF 192 1 B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL THE FACULTY RECEPTION From the beginning ’21B was a favored class. On May 25, 1921, all doubt as to the validity of this propitious asset was cleared up, for on that date the members of the faculty tendered us a reception in the school library. For reason, (quite easily conjured from the fact that we omitted to indulge in the frolics of the forbidden “freak day.”) we were the first class in years to receive any such noticeable attention from the faculty. Attired in our “Sunday-go-to-meetin’s,” we entered the library at 7.30 P. M. We were escorted down the reception line and thence to our seats. Here we inspected the programs of blue and gold, with which we had been presented. This is what we read:— Entertainment Pantomime.Members of the Faculty Piano Solo.Miss Wormwood School Room Scene.Mr. Jenkins and Faculty Reading.Mr. Bartlett Piano Solo .Miss Wormwood DANCING. The pantomime called forth a storm of applause which it certainly merited. The piano solo rendered by Miss Wormwood captivated the audi¬ ence and was loudly encored in spite of the fact that we were told that it was only to engage our attention while waiting for next number. The schoolroom scene was a credit to the performers. Mr. Jenkins acted as instructor and the members of the Faculty as students. Numerous quips on the members of the class were read from the bulletin. After the reading of the bulletin the bell rang for recitation and we had a chance to view the mechanism of a Faculty class in English. It surprised quite a few of the members of the class to find how perfectly the Faculty had mem orized their tricks, fancies, oddities and “excuses.” With the ending of the schoolroom scene, we were entertained by a read¬ ing rendered by Mr. Bartlett. The selection related one of the quarrels between Henry VII and one of his numerous wives. Its absurdity made it humorous and the applause it received vouched for its success. Mi ss Wormwood then played several selections on the piano while refresh¬ ments were being served. Dancing was in order until ten o’clock, when all adjourned to study our home lessons for the next day. CLASS PICNIC On the morn of June 28, ’21, two trucks full of noisy, hilarious, erstwhile students of M. H. S. started for Riverside. Each city, especially Medford, was treated with a noisy demonstration. Arriving at Riverside, 113 was the winner of the ball game between the two home rooms. After that, canoeing and swimming were enjoyed. And a tired but happy throng returned to the high school that evening and shook the very foundation of the high school with cheers for the chaperons of the day. Page Ten
