Why so great an interest in a people whose glory lies in the far distant past? Why should a discovery of the tomb of Tutankhamen cause the world to pause and consider? Does the revealing of these wonders appeal only to the imagination, or do we recognize that the foundation of our civilization is Egypt ? To understand what this great people did during its long domination of the world, and to realize what we owe to their civilization, we must first turn to their arts and crafts. They discovered copper very early, and tempered it to such a degree that with copper saws and copper drills they were able to cut the hardest stone. Consider the years of patient work before they finally became adept in its use. The invention of glass is accredited to the Egyptians, but many of their manufacturing processes are lost. So great was their skill in staining that they imitated precious stones of all kinds with great success. However, the most amazing fact to us is their knowledge of fusing different colored glasses into beautiful roses and ornaments. One marvels, at their accomplish¬ ments in those early centuries. The only ware that approaches it today is that of the Venetians or Bohemians. When the school boy studies the principles of geometry, little does he realize that they were formulated in the Nile Valley by the Egyptians, and then carried to Greece by Pythagoras and Thales, who studied with the priests at Alexandria. Euclid, a Greek, perfected them, a little later into the form used today. Nor was geometry the only branch of science in which t he Egyptians were versed. They knew that the world was round, that it lotated upon its axis, and that it revolved about the sun. Is it not the irony of fate that this knowledge, known to the Egyptians a thousand years before Christ, was lost again to the world until 1500 A. I). Knowing astronomy so well, they were able to measure accui ately the 5i ANNALES 1923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL length of a year, and divide it into twelve months. Thus they laid the founda- tion of our calendar. In fact, their system of twelve months of thirty days each, followed by five feast days at the end of the year is much better than our present system, revised from theirs by Gregory, with its complicated set of months. We, in our complacency and smug self-satisfaction, consider ourselves the first to use the indirect method of lighting. Yet a recent discovery proves that the Egyptians used it. By means of copper mirrors, they projected sun-light along the angled passages of the tombs, far into the deep dark chambers. Lacking the facilities for artificial lighting such as we have today, they overcame darkness by taking the sun, as it were, into the depths of the earth. The first college was in Egypt. Every year a hundred thousand students were enrolled in its courses. It was the College of Stone Masonry, and its courses those of cutting, fitting and laying huge blocks of stone. Its students were the builders of the Pyramids, the Sphinx, and the Valley Temple. Each man learned his subject thoroughly through hard work and long experi- The influence of this college was far reaching. It made of the people a nation of builders and architects. It made possible the conception of the arch, the clerestory and the column, three of the important principles of present day architecture. It caused a tendency to build in huge proportions, yet in fineness of detail. The joinings of the stones forming the tombs of their Kings show the fine quality of their work, for neither a needle nor a hair can be inserted into the joints. The influence of the college was also lasting; for the principles taught there survived and appear in the Great Hall at Karnoe, built fifteen hundred years later, a masterpiece of ancient art. Altho we are today surpassing them in science, mechanics and medicine, altho we have discovered electricity and its uses, altho we are establishing new fields of thought and work, yet we are filled with an admiration for the Egyp¬ tians. We admire their accomplishments in the face of inconceivably great obstacles. We are thrilled by the mystery surrounding their methods of lifting huge masses of stone, and by the unveiling of their works by recent discoveries. When they passed from power into obscurity they left a civilization that is still the wonder and admiration of the world.

Then Lord Carnavon exploded a mild bomb amidst the prosaic details of our every day life, when he uncovered the tomb of Tutankhamen, an Egyptian king who reigned, it is estimated, some thousand years before Christ. Was our scientific or historical interest aroused at this discovery? Not alarm¬ ingly. True, it stimulated the imaginations of modistes; it affected the salaries of popular novelists and moving picture directors; but for the average American its wonder lasted about nine days. After a mild amount of interest he has settled back into a happily reflective state in which lie ponders weightily over Wall Street and the high price of gasoline. It almost convinces me of the inefficacy of mental dynamite. Because he feels that it is a country of the past void of modern interest or development, this average American refuses to see that little by little Egypt is pushing into place and winning the respect of Europe. He is not aware that it is a living Egypt he is ignoring, an Egypt that has been alive for forty years ! Forty years ago, England, given authority by the international courts, established a protectorate over Egypt, when her dual control with France had failed. These forty years have brought to Egypt wonders as great as though Alladin’s magi had been set to work. And in truth a magi has been laboring; it has been no miracle, however, that has been accomplished, but the solid effort of forty years of toil. When England restored Egypt to the Turks in 1803, the Albanians under Mohammed Ali gained control. For years after it was his stock that ruled, planned, and almost ruined Egypt. Priding himself on being modern, Ali saw that the prosperity of the land was greatly affected by the waters of the Nile. “Surely,” thought he, “these waters can be firmly imprisoned and make us independent of their treacherous rise and fall!” So he set to work. 54 ANNALES 1923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL lo do what? To establish a system of irrigation? Indeed not! To estab¬ lish the compulsory labor law or corvee which reduced the fellahin, or poorer class of Egyptians, to nothing less than slavery. It forced the slave to provide his owns tools, to work without pay at huge risks; it made him morose; it made him dangerous. How different conditions became under English control! Viscount Cromer abolished first of all the corvee, though it cost a huge sum to do so. 1 hen in a less elaborate way he set to work on his own system of irrigation which paid the fellah a living wage, which made Egypt independent of the Nile’s overflow, which made her one of the greatest granaries in the world! This was Great Britain’s first score. Let us turn to Cairo, the mecca of all tourists. Even today because of its flies, it cannot be a model city. Yet it is picturesque and busy and most of all clean! But consider Cairo under Ali, under Said, and all the others. Convert the quaint streets into gathering places for murderers; change peace into chaos; create malice, filth, death—you have Cairo then! Compare it with the tourist’s Cairo of the present day and you find—a second score for England. Port Said and Alexandria, at one time were considered the wickedest cities in the world. Both were poverty stricken, fishing villages, where the scum of the earth collected, where unmentionable crimes were committed. It was in Alexandria that the Arabi rebellion took place which caused the massacre of so many Christians. See these cities today, after forty years of English possession! Their streets are clean and busy. Two sections have been or¬ ganized in each city, the European and the native. Where once the criminal dwelt the tourist wanders now unmolested. Even churches have been organized, and over all—cleanliness and order. Two more scores for the Island Kingdom ! It is far easier to deal with a land itself than it is to deal with a person endowed with a working brain and its consequent opinions. If the task of renovating cities, then, was difficult, one can easdy see how mountainous must have been the labor of converting the fellah into something approaching a human being. The Egyptian fellah and his wife were at one time nothing less than animals. And their tiny naked children were left to look out for them¬ selves, a prey to germs, to Trachoma which left thousands of them blind, and to death. English sanitation eliminated to a large extent the death-bringing germs, and the present desire for education will complete the task of con¬ version. Schools and colleges have been established, where many thousands of native students are preparing themselves for a life of service to their country and its people. The greatest example of the modern educational institution is El Ashar University, where the Egyptian receives a European educat ion of the highest type. Though today the greater part of Egypt is llliteiatc, the race has a desire for advancement and illiteracy cannot live with such ambition. So we have it—education established,—England’s greatest accomplishment. 55 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL i 9 2 3 - b Then there is of course the railroad question. No longer is there reason to dread a journey by pack camel, unless one wishes to travel into the desert, for countless railways have been built from one part of the land to the other. The true greatness of English control is manifested- again by the mechanical-like order of the train system, much better than ours is at times. Under Ali and Said or for that matter previous to English occupation the temperament of the Egyptian would have prevented the operation of one safe railway line. Today, however, other than the discomfiture of desert travelling, one may enjoy modern conveniences in a modern equipage on a trip through Egypt. When English officials undertook the task of training the Egyptian army, they luckily did not realize its demoralized state. It was entirely com¬ posed of rabble, uncontrollable rabble, rabble forced to serve a country without meaning to it. Men would cut off their hands, dig out their eyes with blunt sticks, gash their bodies, sometimes kill themselves rather than serve that despot, their native land. “What is country?” they would ask one another. “I have never seen it.” Now, under proper encouragement a great army exists, well fitted to protect its interests. Where once men mutilated themselves to avoid service, there now is a well organized body with comparatively few if any rebellions within the ranks. So England has finished her task. So we have today an Egypt made possible by British diplomacy, British constructive genius; a living Egypt to grow and to command our respect. With infinite understanding Great Britain perceived that she was dealing with a land which, though the oldest, was one of the most primitive. As though she were a child she governed her firmly, wisely, effectively,—And her result?—This— In February 1922, England formally withdrew her protectorate and Egypt was declared a free and independent state. This marks the completion of another cycle in the history of Egypt. No longer do you hear, “What is country?” but, “This is my country—to serve to the best of my ability.” On all sides do you hear it from the children, from the women no longer veiled, from the fellah . ..An Egypt of the past? Indeed not! A living Egypt of Today! E. Stanlye Ellis. ANNALES 1923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL On a September morning in the year of 1919 a group of exceptionally brilliant people gathered in front of that noble structure known as Malden High School. This was the class of 1923-B. So eager was the class to devote itself to education that every member came an hour early to school. What thoughts passed through the minds of these awe-stricken unsophisticated fresh¬ men? Were they thinking, perhaps, of the mysteries that would be revealed in this edifice of learning? Finally when the 7 :45 bell rang the doors opened, and we entered the assembly hall, that haven of refuge for fearful freshmen. There we received instructions from Mr. Jenkins concerning our conduct in Malden High. Then we were assigned to our home-rooms, which of course were on the third floor. I suppose the reason for this is that in such lofty regions, lofty ideals will be inspired. As our teachers were on hand to guide us, the first journey to these home-rooms was made swiftly and successfully. The ringing of a bell for recita¬ tions, however, embarked us upon new difficulties. Faithfully clutching the neatly prepared new program cards, we drifted up and down the corridors seeking to match the numerals on our cards with those above some doorway. The more courageous, or the more trustful, of our members asked and followed the directions given by some ‘Veteran”. These directions carried some of us to the attic, others to the cellar, a few, very few to the proper classrooms. The little space on the card marked “601” furnisned peculiar difficulties. If 201 meant second floor and 301 third floor, then of course 601 was the sixth flooi. So reasoned our precocious brains! But building laws are greatei than fiesh men brains. It was several davs before the manual training di is ions could answer the roll-call on time. One of our first privileges as freshmen was to subscribe fifty cents to the Blue and Gold a thing we did gladly deeming it quite an honor. About this time we went through a great number of cross-question examinations. We were 57 ANNALES 1923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL asked to tell who we were, where we were, and what we were. A wise Sophomore informed us that this was to aid us in making out our income tax when we were on our way to our first million. We went through the rest of our semester smoothly, gaining wisdom from our teachers, sarcasm from Sophomores, kindly advice from Juniors and cold shoulders from Seniors. The school witnessed a mutiny in a classroom at this time. Books were thrown at a teacher causing him loss of dignity, of temper, and some said, of a wig. This mutiny oceured on the stage in the play Nicholas Nicklebv and the teacher was Perley Davenport. In spite of such treatment of a teacher we were promoted to Class 2. Technically we were yet Freshmen but what a world of experience we had acquired in Class 1. We could now advise as we had been advised, only of course we did our advising when the members of Class 3 were not around. A great temptation assailed many of us now to leave school and secure one of the positions which were so numerous. The Malden High officials became much alarmed at the great numbers who had left, and in consideration of their feelings most of us decided to remain. June came at last, bringing the vacation we so much desired. It of course was too short for all of us. September again ! Sophomores ! The feeling was too great to describe. As if to celebrate our return there were a number of explosions. No, not bombs. It was “Fire-cracker Jack” giving advice. The Commercial Geography pupils remember this semester because of the change in the map of Europe. And now 23-B burst into Athletics with a vengeance. “Squinks Perigney”, the boy marvel started his career. Don Daley appeared on the track. Appleton chose the water. In scholarship, well—the great number of “Es” attested to that. The semester again approached an end. We had made our usual marks and remarks and looked forward to the next step to graduation. We arrived in Class 4 safe enough but missing a few who loved the school so much that they preferred to repeat a semester. About this time a dress reform was started. However as the girls had their own views on the way to dress, the so-called reform gained little headway. We jumped into the social whirl with a class party in which the talent of the members of our class was displayed in feats of mystery, and in nimble¬ ness of foot. Initiations, recitations and reformations completed the semester. A certain section of our class became noted for its unusual quietness and docility, and remained so until graduation. John Pavnc more than upheld our honor in sports. The Junior Prom added to our fame and pleasure. It was conducted on a larger and more elaborate scale than any before. So the time Hew on till we were in Class 6. Now as upper class pupils we were supposed to sober down. Maybe we did, who knows? We thought we had but the faculty had far different ideas. We were now in the midst of the battle and desirous of pushing on to ANNALES 9 2 3 -B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL the exalted position of Seniors. We did, but our ranks were becoming sadly de¬ pleted. After the vacation which most of us really wanted to come to a close, we were Seniors. Ah! What an envied position was now ours. Seeming to reach our full strength, we distinguished ourselves in athletics, dramatics and scholarship. Baiiabec and I ayne were marked “E” m football. Haley and Howling ' skim¬ med the ice in hockey. Our scholarship was aided by the acquisition of a brilliant student, Elizabeth Ellis. As head of the year book staff she immedi¬ ately set the machinery in motion for a book to be proud of. Our reception to the upper Seniors couldn’t be surpassed. The “movie that was not a movie” was a decided innovation and was a great success. After such a splendid farewell to Class 8, they willingly gave their place to us. We were rapidly approaching our last days in Malden High. Much of our time was spent in reflection. In fact we reflected so much that we were called to earth sharply quite often, I’m afraid, and told we had not graduated yet. Our Monday mornings were devoted to voice culture, and Classes 2 to 7 marvelled at the exquisite sweetness of the voices raised in song. Class 1 was denied the privilege of hearing us as they had to go to school in the afternoon. We were as busy as the proverbial bee. Between Economics and Bookeeping the students of the Commercial Course had almost enough to keep them busy, and these students began ,to envy the easy College or Scientific course students. Little gold circles now came into prominence. Yes, they were class rings proudly displayed. Next came class pictures. The touch of the artist had con¬ verted us into Theda Baras and Valentinos, in our own opinion, although some did not have enough imagination to see us as such. Our fame as a class must have spread abroad, because an invitation was received from the management of the Copley Theatre to attend a performance. They knew that by having us there a large crowd would be attracted. Those who went, and paid a dime felt almost ashamed to see such a good performance at that low price. The Shorthand Convention came on May 12, and Malden displayed its wit and skill before other schools that used the Chandler System. Time sped on a pace and the great event of the season came, the Senior Reception. Class 7 could not do enough for us that night and it warmed our hearts to see such display of affection. Close on the heels of this came the faculty reception where the teachers tried to outdo the pupils in bidding us good-by. This seems like all play and no work. Ah! If that were but true. There was no time for day dreaming, although many had nightmares, the chief horror of which was a horseshoe. But there was one more day for us to enjoy ourselves. The class picnic! The staid Seniors forgot all earthly cares and disported gleefully o’er the green sward. Like falling from a seventh heaven was the return to duty and to the last hours of feverish haste and worry. Now we are ready to receive our certificates for services rendered. We perhaps are not all we should be. We are only human. lor past faults we ask forgiveness. For our future work we ask a blessing. ANNALES 1923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL Jrnjjlu ' ru “The clock on the mantle ticked, for all the world like a clock ticking. A dog barked like a dog, a rooster crowed like a rooster,” and I lay in bed wondering if it was raining like rain, for today was the first reunion of the Class of Malden High School 1923B. When we had graduated from Malden High fifteen years before, we had decided to have a class reunion every year. This was the first one to be held, however, and I doubt if this one would be a scheduled event if it was not for the untiring efforts of John Munroe, who was now in Mr. Jenkin’s shoes as Headmaster of the Malden High. I jumped out of bed and found that the sun was shining like sun and my fears of rain were ended. It was a glorious day for the first event of the reunion, a picnic at Bankston, the home of Mary Banks. Mary had become quite wealthy through the purchase of stock in the Robert Barrabee Milk Bottle Company. The picnickers were to meet in front of the school, so, after a hasty breakfast in Edna Maloney’s Quick Lunch and Hot Dog Cart, I took one of Mollie Wharton’s jitney busses and started on my way. I was amazed at the changes that had taken place in Malden in the fifteen years in which I had been in Europe trying to extract electricity from onions and vice versa. As we drove along Pleasant Street I saw a sign over a large building proclaiming the fact that this was “Ruderman’s.” The name sounded familiar and on questioning the bus driver I learned that Benjamin Ruderman was the owner of the building in which lie conducted a large motion picture and vaudeville house. He specialized in features released by Director Farr, and photographed by Maxwell Kesseler, Farr’s chief cameraman. The picture now playing was “Demons and Dungeons” in which Louise Taylor and Edward Wingato co-starred. The driver’s voice and smile seemed familiar and I wondered at his apparent interest in so many of my former classmates. I looked at him very closely and soon discovered that it was none other than 60 ANNALES i 9 2 3 B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL Timothy Carroll. The long beard and side whiskers now in style had at first misled me. Just beyond Ruderman’s” was a fine looking bank building. Carroll was so busy pointing it out to me and explaining that Richard Lougee was its president that he nearly wrecked the jitney, much to the disgust of Thomas Dowling who was the tiaffic cop m that section of the city. After we were under way again he told me that Lougee had able directors in Hazel Osborne, Sema Levy and John Moran. The bus stopped in front of the school and I received the shock of my life. It was no longer the four story building of our youth, but rose at least eight stories into the air. It was still being enlarged, too, for a sign announced the fact that “This building is under construction by the Daly and Aronson Con¬ struction Company. Elevators being installed by the Stiffle Elevator Com¬ pany”. Who would have believed that Jennie Stiffle, Donald Daly and Jacob Aronson, who were so anxious to get out of school, would ever come back to repair it? As I stepped from the bus I was greeted by a shout from Annette Lane, now a writer of popular songs. Mildred Coburn and Audrey Burgess, owners of a chain of beauty parlors, also rushed up with loud greetings and Audrey immediately presented me with a ticket for a free massage and shampoo in their Malden parlor. We were the first of the crowd to arrive so we all welcomed Annette’s suggestion that we take a look over the building. We met Headmaster Munroe coming out of his office as we entered and he offered to show us around. We hardly knew the place for it was entirely remodelled inside. The assembly hall at last furnished room enough for all the school and it was now equipped with new leather seats from the factory of Abraham Goldberg and Max Cohen. I envied the seniors, who ' were having their Monday morning singing lesson, in seats like those and under th e able direction of Claire Trapp, who was now Supervisor of Music. John told us several more changes that w r ere to be brought about, but the one that interested me most was that introduced by Mary Boyle and Emily Carlan. They had suggested that they be hired to install a roof garden. I thought it would be a fine place in which students could amuse themselves when they skipped classes, especially if Ruderman established the branch movie theatre which he had suggested. It would save the long trip in town to the Orpheum and be an all round aid to humanity. When we left the building quite a crowd of our classmates had gathered outside. Some of them looked so strange in the newest styles that we could hardly recognize them, but gradually we renewed acquaintances. We piled into trucks furnished by the Feely Trucking Company and started on our way. The truck on which Annette and I were riding broke down, whether from our combined weight or not I am not prepared to state, and Ed. O Connor, chief 61 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL i 9 2 3 B mechanic for Feely, immediately disfigured his countenance with grease in a successful effort at repairs. We had a glorious time at the picnic. The grounds were wonderfully situated on the borders of a lake and there were many canoes and rowboats in which we could amuse ourselves. The boys played a baseball game with all the fervor of their youth and this reminded Annette that Charles Perigney, our all star ball player, had become so engrossed in the pursuit of ping pong that he had nearly forgotten how to hold a bat. He was now in England, where the games to decide the ping pong champion of the world were in progress. After lunch Annette and I slipped away from the crowd to exchange gossip. I asked her if she knew what had become of some of our old classmates. These are some of the surprising things -she had to tell me. Virginia Stultz. was teaching gymnasium to the Fiji Islanders who had become so attached to her that, when she had mentioned the fact that, she thought of returning home,, they had threatened to eat her alive if she did not remain. Question—what did she do? Came home of course. Blanche Warren and Gertrude Pitman were in Greenwich Village -opening up tea rooms as fast as the sheriff closed them. Beatrice Kotsen and Eleanor Levine were large sweater manufacturers in San Francisco. Abraham Black was their model and his picture was in all the subway cars advertising their wares. That must have been the reason why they had just received the order for the 1938 football sweaters for Malden High. Frances Greenberg and Elizabeth Gordon had opened up a business college in Denver. They taught everyth ' ng in the business line from sticking on stamps to absconding with the company’s funds. Dora Glass and Eva Gorberg were members of their teaching force. Annette could tell me no more so I told her what I had learned since we had last seen each other. Arnold Popkin was running a chicken farm in Ole Virginnv. You know Arnold always managed to have a couple of chickens in that car of his. Doris Roscoe had taken up aviation and she was now di¬ recting the dense aero traffic over Chica go. Doris’s experience at Revere must have influenced Doris to take the air. Clarence Mo-rtenson was established as a Chinese Missionary and had a fine home in T’in P’an Alley in Shanghai. Gladys Trapp, Ruth Rinquist and Augusta Robinson were manufacturing sport clothes, and Louis Weiss was in Paris introducing their latest models to the Parisians. Yes, America furnished Paris with the styles now. Lyman Appleton had become a noted lecturer. One time he had gone to a hall to speak and after the chairman had introduced him Lyman objected to making his speech because the hall was empty. Then the chairman informed him that he had forgotten to mention that his talk was to be broadcasted by the Shulman Radio Corporation. Max Derby had entered the movies in the hope of securing leading parts, but he had been refused on account of his small eyebrows. He had taken to comedy character parts for a time, but in an explosion his eve- brows had been burnt entirely off so now he was playing atmosphere. Mollie Markowitz was the editor of one of the magazines of the day. Annie Hurewitz 62 ANNALES i 9 2 3 ' B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL and Gladys Jacobus were members of her editorial staff. Lillian Ostreicher also gave “Advice to ' the Lovelorn” through Mollie’s magazine. Gladys Day was on diplomatic business in Honduras. The day wore on with games and stunts of all kinds and was surely a jolly one, so jolly in fact that it was time to go home long before any of us realized it. As we climbed into the trucks we were all presented with a novelty box of candy from the candy kitchen founded by Florence Murphy, Hazel Mo or e, Edna Oberlander and Ruth Ogilvie. How those four had stuck to¬ gether ! Returning to Malden, we all separated, but not for long for that night we were to have a banquet in Warren Steven’s immense hotel. The dinner was furnished by Byer and Cohen, Caterers. Dorothy Byer and Samuel Cohen had been quite successful in the catering business. Edward Garment’s Famous Jazz Orchestra, the only remaining ex¬ ponent of jazz in the country, furnished music in between the courses. Pauline Moriarty was a member of Eddie’s Orchestra and she made her sax wail with the best of them. Lougee, as president of the class, read several letters and telegrams from absent classmates. Lola Wells sent best wishes but could not come on account of her voluminous and noisy family. Olive Wagner was scheduled to give her famous dissertation on “Why is it called cargo when it goes in a ship and shipment when it goes in a car?” before the professors of the Wesoakem University. Alice McDermod could not leave her business in the salmon fisheries on the Colombia River. She had to count the salmon as they rushed into the nets and was considered quite an expert. George Svenson had wirelessed from the ship M. H. S. Reunion, of which he was captain, that he could not make port in time. Sarah Segal was obliged to remain in New York where she was singing Annette’s songs for the Victrola. Her latest hit was Aunt Sarah on the Radio”. Doctor Doris Lovejoy and Esther Lowe, her head nurse, were unable to come because of the overcrowded condition of Doris s hospital m Seattle. John Metz was detained because of a law suit against the Bluffem Automobile Company of which he is president. After the banquet Mary Harty, now Mayor of Malden, welcomed us to the city and suggested that we give a rising vote of thanks to Munroe for his efforts to make the reunion a success. This was done midst yells and cheers foi Munroe, Malden, the school and the class. Then different members of the class told us about their various experiences in their lines of work. Melen Murch and Mabel MeQuesten, the noted Egyptologists, told us of their work in Egypt and how they had already begun to count the grains of sand in the Sahara Desert. Francis McNeil, now a vaudeville star, gave us the dance “Miss 1928” that had so delighted us at the Senior Reception years before. Robert Page, the famous Arctic explorer, told us of his remarkable experiences and he showed us the glass which he used as a stove with the rays of the midnight sun ANNALES i 9 z 3 -B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL for heat. Then three more of our classmates who ' had gone into 1 vaudeville entertained us. Helen Robinson, who worked for John Duffy, was in the habit of being late to work (Yes, she formed the habit at M. H. S.). John had appealed to Judge Barnett Popkin against this practice and, after many ludicrous situations, Helen was found guilty and was sentenced to increase her speed 1923 per cent through the use of T. N. T. in small doses. Then I told them of some of my experiences in Europe, where, in London, I had met Ruth Dixon who was the owner of the most spectacular musical revue in the world. Pearle Fine was the designer of all the costumes and scenery which were manufactured under her personal supervision. Hildegarde Newman had composed all the music for the performance. Ethel Walsh and Ethel Lund were connected with the revue as contortionists and LeRoy Jacobson could be seen as a female impersonator. Hazel Ambrose was the leading lady and Brita Almgren and Paul Murdock charmed the audience with their wonderful dancing act. I had also met Elizabeth Ellis in London. She was a writer of jungle stories and had just returned from a trip to Africa after a search for new material for her book. The papers had reported that upon her return she had brought two huge lions which she had tamed by the marvelous power of her oratory. Elizabeth had just started in talking and the great beasts just naturally kept quiet. When she finally ceased they had forgotten how to roar. She had presented the lions to Danberg’s Circus and Rose Levine had trained them for an animal act. Chester Porteus was connected with the circus as the human skeleton. In Paris I had seen Evelyn Harper and Sadie Promisel who were both having successful musical careers. Marie Nelson had returned to her native Sweden and was a teacher of English in the University of Stockholm. I had saved my greatest surprise until the last. In some way or other, directly or indirectly, true or falsely, we have accounted for all but one of our classmates. When I went to Spain I was to see that last classmate and my first bull fight. The great arena was crowded to the doors, if an arena may be said to be possessed of such articles, as I took my seat and the fight commenced. The toreador was none other than John Payne. A sudden stroke touched a vulnerable spot. The bull was thrown by Payne—he of the voluble tongue. I am thoroughly convinced that he gained his skill at Malden High. “When all that matters shall be written down, And the long record of our years is told, What to our credit shall we find enscrolled? I fancy we shall hear to our surprise, Some little deeds of kindness, long forgot, Telling our glory, and the brave and wise Deeds which we boasted often, mentioned not, God gave us life, not just to buy and sell, And all that matters is to live it well.” Edgar A. Guest. 64 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ! 9 2 3 -B Be it remembered that we, the Class of 1923-B, of Malden High School, in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being of unusually sound mind, and possessing approximately 47 % of the knowledge that our worthy instructors have daily pounded into our craniums during our High School career, but realizing that w r e must pass on to make room for other seekers of wisdom, do make this, our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, hereby revoking all former wills at any time heretofore drawn. After the payment of our just and unjust debts and funeral charges, we bequeath and devise as follows: To our beloved principal and teachers we leave the student body, a wonderful amount of material from which may be evolved, after careful pre¬ paration and elimination, men and women as great, perhaps, as some of our class-mates. To our nearest friends and comrades, the Class of 1924 A, we bequeath certain belongings both material and immaterial. To them we leave the last semester of their high school career in which may be fulfilled their hopes of glory and in which they may realize their dreams. To them, also, we bequeath the home-rooms of Miss Norris, Miss Herrick, Miss Dyer, and Mr. Bartlett, where their privileges, though thoroughly protested and greatly discussed, become more numerous and much more apparent than in other classrooms. They should not fear the threatening notices as they lift the desk covers, such as “Warning! 7-day Book, Keep Out! Iv. K. K.”, etc, nor the dignity and responsibility which becomes theirs upon our decease. They should rather face all bravely, courageously, and zealously. They should guard their position w r ell, but beware of sitting in the seat of the scornful! To our worthy friends, the janitors, we leave the delightful pastime of stooping to pick up candy wrappers, love-letters, and test papers, togethei with approximately 7,639 slabs of various jaw-exercising material, which will adhere very firmly to their already overburdened arms. Lastly we leave to every pupil in Malden High School, the ambition ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 1923-B and desire to establish a precedent by the appearance of this Year Book on graduation night. All respect and honor to him who succeeds ! Having thus willed away all our earthly and unearthly possessions, we reserve the right to offer some timely suggestions to the students for the benefit of the future of Malden High School. Fail not to back the school in any clean sport or undertaking and guard zealously its good name. Be a good winner— a better loser. Ridicule not your opponent. Honor and obey your teachers as your parents, and labor unceasingly to put into practical use the knowledge imparted by your teachers. We glory in the hope of the realization of these suggestions, and shall carry with us always fond memories of the days in good old Malden High. In testimony whereof we hereunto set our hand and seal, and in the presence of the undersigned witnesses, declare this to be our LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT, this 27th day of June, in the year of our Lord, One thousand nine hundred and twenty three. Witnesses : Signed, Class of 1923 B. 66 ANNALES i 9 23-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL IJali ' Nctnrtt A Gleam out of Egypt An American member of the Egyptian Exploration Society was riding on his mule one late afternoon near Abydos. Looking over to the cliff ' s on the edge of the western desert, he noticed that the rocks, usually purple at sunset, were tinged with red. “What is that?” he asked, turning to his guide. “Cups,” replied the guide laconically. “Cups!” repeated the other in amazement. “What do you mean?” But he could gain no further information from the stolid Egyptian. As his curiosity had been aroused, however, he rode out to discover the reason for the strange phenomenon. There, at the foot of the cliffs, he found hundreds upon hundreds of red pottery cups, lying where they had been tossed thousands of years before. Upon further research, he learned that these cups had been used yearly by the ancient Egyptians at the annual festival of the rising of the Nile, held to celebrate the resurrection of the river go d. In fact this ancient ceremony resembled very closely our communion service, and these peoples held a belief similar to ours concerning death, the period in the tomb, and the resurrection. Today in a little Episcopal church in Los Angeles, the cup used by the priest in the communion service is one of these old Egyptian cups, brought over from Abydos and rimmed with silver, that it may be used in the sacied ceremony. The religion of old Egypt and our present faith aie, theiefoic, linked together by this mutual belief. The Egyptians, like all primitive peoples, turned to the manifestations of nature for their divinities: to the various animals; to the Nile, which lcpie sented immortal life; but most of all to the sun, for the sun in Egypt is more brilliant, more burning, and more predominant over the seasons and the lives of the people than in cooler climes. At first, the different communities had their local gods, each a rival of the other. But finally Re, the sun god, became the 67 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ! 9 2 3-B ruling divinity of all Egypt, and Osirus became the accepted god of the dead. Osirus it was who judged the soul after death, weighing the heart of the de¬ ceased against a feather, the symbol of truth. The Egyptians were the first people to believe that behavior during life affected the soul’s happiness after death. The triumph of Osirus was merely a popular one, but that of the sun god, Re, was connected with t he state. As the influence of this god increased, the various lower priesthoods began to identify their local deities with this universal one. Thus, the priests of Re became stronger and, as their power grew, their fear of wrong-doing lessened. No longer was happiness after death dependent upon conduct during life. Instead of just and upright living, charms and rituals were essential to carry one safely through the judgment of Osirus. The priesthood of Re issued the so-called “Book of the Dead,” containing a chart of the next world and a list of formulas to be mastered. Righteousness was no longer required. So, while the people became corrupt, the priests of the state God collected more gold to hoard in their secret vaults. It was at this time that the kings of Egypt began to erect those enor¬ mous tombs, that even to the present day are miracles of the builder’s craft. The entire lives of some of these monarchs were spent in forcing their subjects to build and decorate their sepulchers. The exploits and conquests of the kings were carved or painted on the walls of their final resting places, and statues of the dead rulers were placed in conspicuous spots. Their bodies were embalmed in a manner as expensive as possible, offerings were constantly placed in the chapels of the tombs, and a great body of hired priests cared for the outer temples. After a while, so powerful did the Pharoah become in religious matters that the construction of his tomb was just as sacred a duty of the people as the worship of the god himself. The selfish desire of the individual for the everlasting memory of his name is very aptly painted by the words of the immortal Shelley: “I met a traveler from an antique land Who said: ‘Two vast and trun kless legs of stone Stand in the desert. Near them, on the sand, Half sunk, a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,—- The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal these words appear: “M v name is Ozymandias, king of kings: Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!” Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.’ ” 68 ANNALES i 9 2 3 _ B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL Slowly, however, the political power of the kings expanded. Egypt was no longer merely a nation; she had become an empire, receiving tribute from the land of Nubia far beyond the fifth cataract in the south and from the islands of Greece and the countries of Asia Minor in the north. The center of the Egyptian kingdom had gradually shifted down the Nile from Memphis to Thebes, where Amon-Re was the supreme divinity. So the god of Egypt became Amon-Re and finally simply Amon. The priesthood of Thebes grew strong enough to possess power which transcended that of Pharoali himself. Such was the state of affairs after Thutmose III ended his wars of corn quest and Amenhotep III ascended the throne. He ruled the land wisely and well, but a strong hand was needed to control the empire at his death. To the ruin of Egypt’s hopes for world dominion but to the glory of her gifts to the future, Amenhotep IV became the ruler. Unlike his warlike father, he was physically handicapped, peace-loving, and a dreamer. His interest lay not in things material but in things spiritual. Out of his day-dreams and aii-castles, he formulated a religion so pure and true that he has been called the “First individual in human history.” The god of Amenhotep or Ikhnaton, as he now called himself, was no longer the bright and burning sun. The sun now became the symbol of his divinity as the cross is the symbol of the Christian religion, but it was not the god himself. His faith was in Aton, the one and only god; Aton, a god of spirit without a material form; a god of mercy and of love. He worshipped his deity at morning and evening, when the sun appears in its gentler and more beautiful aspects, and he insisted upon simplicity and truth. He was the first to believe in one god for all peoples, to conceive a god of spirit, to insist upon simplicity in worship, and to recognize in god the loving and tender father. However great Ikhnaton may have been as a man and as an idealist he was a failure as the ruler of an empire. Rebellion and insurrection broke out, province after province was lost, and finally, when this noble man died, broken-hearted and crushed because he would not resort to war which he abhorred, the land of Egypt was in a state of anaichy. The despairing people turned back to military rulers and to the old god, Amon, and his evil priest. The very name Ikhnaton was hated by his countrymen and the former religion took the place of his advanced belief. He was as a ray of light, shining from out of the darkness of that materialistic age. But he had come too early to a world that could not undei- stand. Not until centuries later did another man emerge from another people who preached the same doctrine of a merciful and loving father. Even yet, however, the world cares not to listen wholly to his teachings. Even yet the struggle still continues between materialism and spirituality. 69 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL i 9 2 3 B My friends and fellow students: The time has come for us to part. These four years together, so full of joy and comradeship, have been all too short. Now we must start our life anew in the outside world, where we shall encounter not only happiness and opportunity but also sorrow and temptation. All peoples, from the time of the ancient Egyptians to the present day, have had the common desire to leave behind them monuments to preserve their identity. The more civilized a nation becomes the less are its monuments material. The world at large admits that the lasting things are those of the mind and of the spirit; but still many individuals cling to the old belief. The mad desire for gold is one proof of this. The resort to force and the resulting tragedy of war are other evidences that this ancient instinct has not vanished. As we leave behind our school environment, familiar and endeared to us, and face problems new and puzzling, we must choose whether our gifts to the future will be material or whether we will hold dearest the fruits of the spirit. As we choose, let us remember that things material will pass away, but things spiritual are ever immortal. “All that is, at all, Lasts ever, past recall; Earth changes, but thy soul and God stands sure: What entered into thee, That was, is, and shall be: Time’s wheel runs back or stops: Potter and clay endure.” Olive E. Wagner. 70 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 1 9 2 3 b Jhtpjjhtrss There are so many people who dodge the issue and try to cheat them¬ selves by declaring that the goal of their heart’s desire is uprightness. I am inclined to believe that the end of every man’s existence is happiness. Even the pious must admit that they hope to reap the reward of eternal bliss by pursuing righteousness. The sage philosopher, just as much as the frivolous pleasure seeker, practices his profession because he likes it better than all else. The man who performs w r ell his daily task does so because it gives him satisfac¬ tion. He who makes heroic sacrifices for others feels a happiness that few can attain. Even the person who goes about bewailing his fate and relating all his woes does so because it gives, him a certain peculiar delight. People weep because they take pleasure in weeping and they laugh because it gives them joy. Thus we see that it is not the motive of a man’s existence that makes him more or less noble than his fellows. It is only the way in which he applies his ambition. The man who is held greatest is he whose ideal of happiness coin¬ cides with the happiness of others—who finds most joy when others too may fee] delight. The man who gets the most real enjoyment out of life is lie who re¬ ceives cheerfully the gifts that the Gods sent him and who faces his troubles with a smile. There are too many pessimists in the world. Too many people wear a perpetual frown. Let us then resolve that, when we face the world, we will meet it courageously and joyously. The bearer of sunshine is the world’s greatest benefactor, for “men need laughter sometimes more than bread.” Let us make our heart’s desire the happiness gained through the joy and better¬ ment of others. It is not unselfish to be cheerful and optimistic; it is only wise. 71 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL i 9 2 3-B HEADMASTER Me. Jenkins LATIN DEPARTMENT M it.

Why is English taught to pupils who are not going to become authors or journalists, or Latin or History to those who will never specialize in those subjects?” It does seem foolish, but we must consider that Latin is not taught just because it is Latin, but because it increases the vocabulary, aids the studies of English and History, and teaches one to concentrate. The same is true of other studies. The fundamental purpose of these subjects is to broaden the mind. No matter what is studied, the very act of doing so widens one’s view¬ point, and keeps the mind actively at work. Youth is impressionable. The habits of concentration and perseverance formed during the years spent at Malden High remain during later life. By thus broadening his outlook on life, and by training his mind, the student has a better chance of choosing correctly his life-work than when he left the grade schools. Again, it makes him a better citizen, one who knows how to think clearly, judge impartially and do efficiently. 73 ANNALES 923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 74 ANNALES 1923-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL (Lite 4llu5triau The room was enveloped in the semigloom of a spring twilight. In their dim light the shadows were kind to the bareness of the chamber; they lent a soft vagueness of outline to the littered table in the center, the piano, the three or foui chairs scattered about. I he curtains at the windows were awry, and upon one pane of glass were the prints of a childish hand—short and stubby. Near one of the windows the musician stood—violin at his shoulder. One would almost have suspected that he was a musician, with his black hair, his high white forehead, and dreamy, wistful eyes. Upon the morrow, he was to have his one great chance and he was not yet fully prepared. He had practiced all day-—but the sobbing—it was most unsatisfactory. There by the window he stood, while he filled the room with sensuous melody. A swift transition— then a pleading sob and afterwards—low crying—but stop—was it human crying or the imitation of a master? It was this shadowy something which troubled the musician, and, unless he could perfect the passage, “Tristesse”, his great masterpiece was ruined. An hour passed. The arc light outside came on and dimly lighted the room. Useless! How r could one imitate human sobbing on a violin? The man laid aside his instrument. He strode toward the window and pulled the curtain up even farther. How ' frightfully dirty the windows were! Even the arc light shone only dimly into the small room. His long nervous hands moving rest¬ lessly through his crisp hair, the musician stood for some moments gazing— not within, but without himself. A knock, hollow and sudden because of the quiet in the room, sounded upon the door, and, at his summons, a child entered bearing a tray. The light from the next room revealed her yellow ' braids, the scant folds of her dress, her worn shoes. “Your supper, Father.” The man turned from the window. His eyes fell abstractedly upon the averted head of the child. His voice was gentle, but its mellow quality seemed to provide no comfort for her. “On the table,” he pointed out a clear space among the different articles. The girl walked to the table and put the food down. Her hands trembled slightly and her head was bent too studiously over her task. She moved toward the door—glad to be gone at last. “What have you got in your pocket?” the caressing voice stopped her. Her hand clutched convulsively upon a small doll whose head protruded from the pocket of her dress. “A d-doll, Father,” she stammered. Then eagerly—to change the subject, “But your tea—it will be cold; and you must eat or you’ll be ill.” “Bring the doll to me,” the soft voice was strangely detached. “But father,” tears were very close, “it’s all I have of Mother’s. She 75 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 1 9 2 3 B gave it to me before she left us.” She edged away from her father, the doll clasped in one hand. The man paused. A glare of concentrated hatred passed momentarily across his face, but was gone immediately. “It is not necessary to mention your mother—besides you have outgrown dolls. Come! Give it to me.” With an agile movement he snatched the toy from her. He held it for a moment gazing dreamily into the doll’s china blue eyes. “No, Father! No, no! Please! The frenzied cry rang out and then ceased. The child stood still her hands knotting her dress, unknotting. knotting . . . “I shall begin your lessons next week, you will soon forget all this.” He looked again at the doll and then dropped it on the floor. A moment later, his foot crushed in its head. The child stood there, her hands moving slightly, slow tears gathering in her widened eyes. Her little chin quivered despite her efforts. She gazed at the doll, struggling to check the sobs which swelled her throat. “Mm—the toast looks appetizing, Grace,” the man said jocularly. She looked at her father a long moment; two tears rolled down her cheeks; a sob burst from the tightened lips. The child rushed from the room, but even when her heart seemed breaking—she remembered to close the door gently. The musician) began to eat his toast. His dreamy eyes again gazed out upon the street lamp which furnished the room its only light that evening. A sliding sound came to his ears ; the child had slipped down and was kneeling by the door. He paused—she was crying—pitiful crying it was, the kind that cannot be restrained. An annoyed look passed over the mans face followed by a swift gleam. He jumped from his chair—his napkin fallen to the floor. The violin was in his hand—a few introductory bars—then a pause—sobbing. The violin tcok up those sobs; it cried with the child—it mocked her—then gradually the two sobs merged into one. The people listened spellbound, while the new musician filled their hearts with awe. Suddenly there was a change in the theme—low crying penetrated the remotest corners of the large room, the crying of a child—a heart broken child. “What sorrow he must have known!” 76 ANNALES 1 9 2 3 b MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL USONA Usona, the girl’s literary and social society of Malden High School is a time honored institution. When the boys decided to form a Literary Society, the girls, not to be outdone, soon formed a literary society also, but the great difficulty was to choose a name that would be strikingly original. After much deliberation the idea of combining the first letters of the words “United States of North America” was decided upon and Usona began its career. Membership in Usona is based upon scholarship and only those girls who have obtained E’s in English are eligible. Usona’s activities are many and varied. Besides literary pursuits such as short-story and reading contests, Usona finds time to bend her energies to aid in the production of the annual Lit-Usona Play given in conjunction with the boys Literary Society. LIT Fifty years of tradition, strong support of the Alumni, enthusiasm and pep of the active members. That is Lit. Who has not heard about its dramatics, contests and debates? Lit stands for the Malden High School Literary Society, and it lives up to its name. Yet initiations, socials and out¬ ings add a bit of fun to their otherwise serious activities, and so a happy medium is obtained, the reason for its success and duration. EN KA En Ka, formed in 1905 and now one of the largest sororities in Malden High School, was founded for the purpose of establishing good fellowship among the girls. A new chapter has also been formed in Winchester by En Ka girls who have gone there, and they have splendid times exchanging invitations to social affairs with the Malden chapter. Like the younger sorori¬ ties En Ka gives its series of dances together with an Annual held during the Christmas holidays. Plays, dances, and other good times, then, fill En Ka’s social calendar, but do not prevent her from doing good for others; she gives lavishly to those whom she feels are needy and sends money to a little French orphan who is her special protege and whom she supported during the ai. Is it not an honor for a school to possess such a Sorority. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA At its annual banquet held recently in Hotel Brunswick, Alpha Delta Sigma closed one of its most successful fraternity years. The after dinner speakers brought up points of vital interest to all the men, as they told of the new chapters that had been formed in other cities. Dining the season, 77 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 1923-B A. D. S. has run three successful dances, as well as its Annual at the Kernwood Club. A. D. S. took an important part, also, in the annual Inter Fraternity Ball which, by the way, it originated and which has proved a great success. This splendid Fraternity, however, values more than all its honors its spirit of brotherhood so predominant in all its deeds. KAPPA PHI Among the several sororities existing in Malden High School one of the oldest is Kappa Phi. This sorority has many aims, but one of the most important is to create good fellowship and strengthen the bond of friendship among its members. Kappa Phi has become much enlarged during the last fifteen years having in that time added four new chapters in Waltham, Cambridge, Beverly, and Brookline. During the year Kappa Phi gives dances, an annual play, the proceeds of which go to some worthy charity, and a reunion in the form of a banquet at Christmas time where new friends are made and old friendships renewed. Like our sister sororities of Malden High School who also play and work with right good will we will strive to accomplish even more worthwhile things in the future than in the past. ECCE SIGNUM In years Ecce Signum is one of the youngest sororities of Malden High School. Like all other sororities, her main purpose is to promote good fellow¬ ship among the girls, and good fellowship in a girls vocabulary is synonymous with dances, parties, plays, and outings. Its members are not disappointed in Ecce Signum, for she gives them all they can possibly desire in good times. But do not think for a moment that Ecce Signum is wholly frivolous—each year at. the time of the annual play a special performance is given, the proceeds of which go to the Nurses’ benefit. In addition to this, money is given where the girls think it will do most good. Ecce Signum is, therefore, a sorority of girls, for girls, to promote friendship and service to last sometimes forever. PI PHI Pi Phi is not strictly speaking a High School Sorority, owing to the fact that several girls are members of private schools. At present, there are about thirty active members, while a great many honorary and special members are scattered all over the country. It is because of this fact that every year a Pi Phi letter, the Hound Robin, is circulated to which all the girls contribute, for only in this way can the members keep in touch with one another. The ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 1923-B meetings, held regularly at the homes of the girls, are really social events and especially enjoyed. A short time ago a most successful house party was conducted, while for next year a big celebration in honor of its tenth birthday is being planned. One can easily tell from these details that Pi Phi Sorority, though reserved, is very successful. SIGMA PHI As the months roll by, one more year is added to the youthful age of this rapidly growing organization—a year of activity and! accomplishment. The members maintain and improve their high positions in scholarship; scholas¬ tic events are loyally supported, and th(J beneficial duties of the school are readily fulfilled. As the sorority increases in size and importance, it extends its circle to include neighboring communities. Sigma Phi, however, is not unappreciative of the joy of life. Dances are given, and the meetings are, in their way, social affairs. Though it is still young, Sigma Phi is very much alive. Being alive, we expect great things from her. KAI LUN Kai Lun sorority was founded in 1921 and has with sure steps been wending its way to success. The Alpha Chapter which is the original chapter, was formed in Malden, but in two years other branches have been organized in Cambridge and Wmthrop. Ivai Tun ranks with Pin Delta 1 hi in the list of the “Junior” sororities of the school. We wish you all success. PHI DELTA PHI Phi Delta Phi is another example of a sorority formed in the very recent past by groups of different girls. As in the case of other successful sororities different chapters of Phi Delta Phi now exist in Boston, Cambridge, Salem, Dorchester and Manchester. It will not be long before a play will be presented by this young sister sorority in which they may show their histrionic talent and their pluck in attempting so big an enterprise. ALPHA MU History is the mirror in which the deeds of a nation or society are reflected without distortion. The history of Alpha Mu Fraternity, though the organization is only two years old, is unusually impressive. From its ranks have come Salutatorians, a Class Poet, and an Editor of the “Blue and Gold”. In fact, its members have entered almost every known field that 79 ANNALES MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL 1923-B M. H. S. opens to its students; not only have the members entered these fields, but they have distinguished themselves and honored their Fraternity by their deeds. If Alpha Mu continues as it has begun, it will soon reach the top! AH luck to you.
