Glaser On November 11, 1918, there ended the most cruel and inhuman war civilization has ever known. Since its close, people have asked questions repeatedly concerning this bitter strife. Was this war unavoidable? Is any war that can sacrifice twenty six million lives necessary ? One question is out¬ standing, and this question must be settled in the near future. Is not war a criminal and foolish instrument of settling international disputes? Should it not be abolished? Let us review the horrors of war. Let us see why it is madness and crime to engage in war in an age when international disputes can be honor¬ ably and justly settled by arbitration. During the World War, there were thirteen million strong, able-bodied, fighting men killed in battle! Twenty million soldiers were wounded! Thirteen million civilians were deprived of life! Today, there are scattered about in all the hospitals of the world mental and physical derelicts— wrecks of manhood. From this waste of life, let us turn to the monetary costs of war. Were it possible to capitalize human souls, the value of lives lost in this great war would reach seventy billion dollars! Property losses, money spent on war relief, and the loss to neutrals amounts to one hundred and fifty one billion dollars. These are but the indirect costs of the War. Let us review its direct costs. The United States spent thirty two billion dollars in this horrible strife. France spent twenty five billion and Ger¬ many forty billion dollars. The total direct costs reach one hundred and eighty six billion dollars! The cost of maintaining this terrible con¬ flict for one hour exceeded the amount expended on the public schools of Detroit for one year, and equaled the endowment of a great school like the University of California! Nor does this expense cease with the cessation of war. Even in piping times of peace, according to Secretary Mellon, eighty three cents out of every dollar are spent for war in its various phas¬ es. Are we aware that warring nations destroy all moral standards of civilization? Do we realize that every commandment for righteous living is shattered? Thou shalt not kill?—Yet war has no other end than to kill. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A War is murder, pure and simple. Thou shalt not steal?—But the soldier may loot and his country annex the conquered territory. The Demon of War devours not only our sons, and our resources, but worst of all, our moral faculties, our sense of rectitude, and our feeling of brotherhood. War, in short so demoralizes a nation that ethical standards of truth and righteousness are sacrificed. Premier Nitti says, in regard to moral de¬ graduation induced by war: “The losses in life and property, great as they are, are small evils compared to the undermining of morals and the lower¬ ing of standards of culture and civilization.” Yet, knowing the horrors of the Great War, and its direful results, people persist in discussing the “Next War”. If the last war was horrible, what do they think the next war will be ? Do they not know that the new warfare will be marked by the ruthless use of every possible agency for the destruction of life and property; that with the latest chemical inventions, the great city of London, with its vast population can be destroyed within three hours? There is in existence no means of preventing an airplane flotilla from flying over Berlin, tomorrow, and spreading a gas that would asphyxiate its millions of people in the same length of time. Mustard gas, used to some extent in the last war, will be extensively employed in the new warfare. There is, as yet, no successful means of protection against this gas. The Lewisite Gas is another mysterious compound whose deadly ef¬ fects are known. The use of these gases, and others that give promise of even more disastrous results, and the use of aircraft, presents the possibil¬ ity of attaining the most decisive and strategic consequences in new war¬ fare. Is there no way out of this slaughter? If there is, it is for us Americans to hasten it. We must stop the practice of war! We must check the effusion of human blood! We must prevent the commission of innumerable crimes and atrocities! An opportunity has come! A way has been opened! Mr. Briand, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the French Republic, openly declared in 1927 that “France would be willing to subscribe publicly with the United States to any mutual engagement tending to outlaw war as between these two countries.” He also proposed that France and America enter into an agreement providing for the “renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy.” Senator Capper of Kansas has announced that, at the opening session of the Senate, he will introduce a resolution favoring the renunciation of war as an instrument of national policy, and calling for the settlement of international disputes by arbitration or conciliation. This is the most important step in international relations initiated by a member of Congress since the close of the World War. It is our golden opportunity. It should be eagerly embraced in order that we, as a people, may, at last join with other governments of the world in condemning war and pledging again our faith in arbitration. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A ak ictorg A Word for the World Court Annie Lilly Nicholas Murray Butler has said: “Un¬ happily the policies as to international affairs —or perhaps the lack of policies—that have been pursued by our government since the Armistice have made this nation of ours a dangerous derelict adrift on the high seas of international intercourse and lying straight across the path of every ship that sails laden with the precious cargo of international friendship and concord”. Today we are just beginning to realize the bitter truth of these words. We have lagged behind. We have become an obstacle in the path of peace. Has not the time come for our people to rouse themselves from their self-centered and selfish indifference? An opportunity has already been presented to us to cooperate in the most workable peace movement ever devised, the World Court. Why are we not in the vanguard ? Why have we allowed ourselves to be on the out¬ side while other great nations of the world are within, giving their support to an institution that is fundamentally American in ideals? Why, when our experts on international law, our scholars, our leaders of industry have given their unanimous indorsement to this vital step in the nation’s history, do we still persist in our policy of aloofness? Surely we make a sorry spectacle of ourselves to the onlooking and mystified world, and to the historian of the future who will tell the story of it all. Let us review the history of the World Court—its origin and accom¬ plishment—and then inquire into America’s policy in regard to it. As long ago as 1305, the idea of a world court to which nations might carry their differences for judicial settlement was suggested by a French¬ man, Pierre Dubois. In 1693, William Penn, the founder of our Commonwealth, proposed that the future peace of America should be preserved by means of an in¬ ternational court. Ten years before, Penn had resorted to judicial rather than military methods of dealing with the disputes between the Colonists and the Indians. This experiment proved successful. Two hundred years later, in 1899, about two dozen nations met in Holland to established a Permanent Court of Arbitration. This Court was THE MALDONIAN 1928-A not a regular court in our sense of the word; it merely had a list of names of men, some of whom could be chosen to serve as judges whenever two nations wished to settle a dispute by law. This Court decided nineteen cases. In 1907, a new Court of Arbitration was attempted. But, owing to the difficulty of selecting judges, this endeavor resulted in failure. Several subsequent methods were devised, but none proved satisfactory until eleven years later when Mr. Elihu Root suggested a plan by which the judges of the Court of 1899 would make nominations for judgeships and the Council and Assembly of the League of Nations, voting separately, would elect the judges. This plan aroused the enthusiasm of great and small nations alike. And so, we have within our very reach that which we have striven for centuries to attain. And now the questions arise: Has this Permanent Court of International Justice fulfilled expections? Has it justified its existence, thus making it worthy for the United States to enter? Its record for its seven years of existence is one of growing strength. It has accomplished more in four years than the Court of Arbitration in twenty-four years. No one can look over the list of its seven judgments and thirteen advisory opinions without being impressed with the good sense of the Tribunal, with the fact that it has done its work and done it creditably. It was in the case, relative to conscription, between Great Britain and France that the French representative voted with the majority and against his own country. This shows a certain greatness of soul and soundness of judgment in the man. Indeed, there is an atmosphere of impartiality in the whole Court, as is shown by the fact that it has given many decisions in favor of small nations against large nations. This good judgment was by no means limited to the particular cases just cited. It also helped to settle such grave disputes as that between Great Britain and Turkey re¬ garding Mosul, between Germany and Poland concerning minority rights, between Czecho-Slovak ia and Poland about border difficulties. In many instances these decisions and opinions have produced profound and benefi¬ cial changes in the whole policy of the government concerned. Thus you see how indispensable this Permanent Court of International Justice is to the nations of the world when it reduces friction between nations by settling disputes impartially. Settling the controversy after it arises is important, but vastly more important is the prevention of the arising of the controversies by people knowing what are their rights. This is the greatest function of the World Court. Do we need any further justification for the existence of an institution that has accomplished so varied and so admirable achievements in its short life of seven years; an institution that is the best and most logical preven¬ tion of war and the killing of mankind for differences that are not worth it; an institution that “has been rendering the best service in the cause of peace known to the history of the worldand above all, an institution that has made a successful effort to bring into effect the keynote upon which THE MALDONIAN 1928-A the American nation was founded, that “all men are created equal?” Do we need any more justification? Yet, strangely enough, the United States is not a member of this Court that stands before the country as the embodiment of a distinctly American ideal. The Permanent Court of International Justice is now firmly established. It has begun its work. It has functioned for more than six years. Forty-seven nations of the world are giving it their cordial support. Whether the United States is a member or not, the Court will go on. Nevertheless the world rightly awaits America’s cooperation in this peace movement. We have progressed thus far: The Senate in January 1926 voted to join the Court on certain conditions. Delegates from forty-four states of the League which are in the World Court met at Geneva on September 1, 1926 to consider the reservations proposed by our Senate. They would warmly welcome the United States into membership if the Senate would but make it clear that we are not striving for special privileges, but that we are merely seeking membership on equal terms with the rest of the Nations. The crux of the situation lies in the second part of the fifth reserva¬ tion, which is capable of two interpretations—according to the first (and this is unacceptable to the states of the Court) the United States is given unlimited power in preventing the League from requesting advisory opin¬ ions; in accordance with the second, the United States is granted reason¬ able power in regard to advisory opinions. The signatory states do not understand which interpretation they are to accept. They wish the Senate to clarify the situation. But the Senate has refused to answer. They contend that the meaning is perfectly clear. Thus the matter stands. The burden rests with us, the people of the United States. If we wish to join the World Court, we have but to say that the fifth reservation simply means that the United States does not accept the right of the Court to hand down an advisory opinion in a case in which the United States is a party or has an interest, such as the Court would recognize. Let us not hesitate. Let us do the work that we for seven long years have shirked. The permanence of the World Court now seems assured and it is un¬ thinkable that the United States should be without such an agency as has become a “most solid part of the foundation of world peace.” What have we, a great peace-loving people, done to help the cause of peace? We have given no moral support, no sympathy, no brotherhood. Executives cannot do it all. It is the people, the power of the people behind the government, that must speak! Therefore, I would say to you tonight: ‘Choose you this day whom ye will serve’—“the pagan idols of destruction and desolation and war, or the God of righteousness and progress and peace.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A VALE Classmates: The inevitable hour has arrived. We, who have become so closely bound together through four years of friendship, must now go our separate ways. May each of us go forth determined to carry on this message of friendship and human brotherhood—our message to the world. But, we cannot succeed in our mission unless we are fully awakened to the necessity of international cooperation. Therefore, let us not become so absorbed in our own professions, our own social circles, our own particu¬ lar interests that we lose our responsibility in international affairs. We must not forget that we share the responsibility of perpetuating peace. In us lies the power to teach the oncoming generations to think in terms of peace. In us lies the power to inculcate the right kind of peace ideals by glorifying peace. Let us reveal the horror of war and teach the truth—“that war is the blackest, least excusable, most damnable crime against man and God!” “Were half the power, that fills the world with terror Were half the wealth bestowed on camps and court, Given to redeem the human mind from error. There were no need of arsenals or forts: “The warrior’s name wou ld be abhorred! And every nation, that should lift again Its hand against a brother, on its forehead Would wear forevermore the curse of Cain! “Down the dark future, through long generations. The echoing sounds grow fainter and then cease; And like a bell, with solemn, sweet vibrations, I hear once more the voice of Christ say, ‘Peace’!” “Peace! and no longer from its brazen portals The blast of War’s great organ shakes the skies! But beautiful as songs of the immortals The holy melodies of love arise.” Class of 1928-A, farewell! THE MALDONIAN 1928-A ®ratrott Futility of War And the Adequacy of Arbitration and Conciliation Elisabeth W. Plummer The progress in the art of destruction and the modern inventions for exterminating human life have been vividly suggested t o you this evening. These are now so terrible that, as you have inferred, the human race is in danger of extinction unless the nations forestall such a catastrophe by the substitu¬ tion of cooperative methods in place of mutual slaughter. War is an inadequate and futile method of adjusting differences between nations. The peaceful settlement of international disputes by means of arbitration or conciliation is the real solution of the problem. This is by no means a new or untried policy. The United States, in her short history, has employed it numerous times to end long and bitter disputes or even to avert war. In our dealings with Great Britain alone, this method has been used successfully many times. In 1841 our relations with Great Britain were more strained than they had been at any other time since the war of 1812. Armed conflicts had actually broken out be¬ tween th e lumbermen of Maine and New Brunswick over the boundary of the United States and Canada. However, in 1842, the question was sub¬ mitted to arbitration and the Webster-Ashburton Treaty was completed, settling most of the points of controversy between the two nations and bringing them into accord. Four years later a similar dispute broke out over the boundary of Oregon. The United States made a preposterous claim to the whole of this territory. “Fifty-four forty or fight” was the popular war cry that rang thruout our country. However, common sense again prevailed. Arbitration was once more resorted to and by a treaty with Great Britain, the boundary was permanently fixed. Another and probably the greatest experience in arbitration was the peaceful settlement of the Alabama claims. During the Civil War, many Confederate cruisers, later used to prey on the commerce of the United States, were built in British shipyards. This was a decided breach of neutrality on the part of Great Britain. Accordingly, at the close of the war, we demanded an exorbitant sum for damages. Although these claims were not unduly pressed England was willing to arbitrate. It was agreed that the claims THE MALDONIAN 1928-A should be settled by an international tribunal to meet at Geneva. In ad¬ dition to the American and English representatives, it consisted of dis¬ tinguished statesmen from Switzerland, Italy, and Brazil. The tribunal declared Great Britain guilty of breach of neutrality laws and awarded the United States $15,000,000 damages. The fact that Great Britain was willing to abide by such a decision shows what great progress had been made toward the ideal of arbitration in settling affairs that might, under the former ideals, have flamed forth into war. Someone may contend that these cases prove nothing, as it is natural for English-speaking nations to wish to avert war. History answers this contention. Let us turn to the League of Nations. During its existence it has stopped or averted numerous wars, any one of which might have developed into another world war. Some of these were Sweden vs. Finland, in the matter of the Aaland Islands; Germany vs. Poland, concerning Upper Silesia; Poland vs. Lithuania, in the matter of Vilna; Jugoslavia vs. Albania, over boundary disputes; and Greece vs. Bulgaria, over frontier difficulties. If there were time, I would discuss these cases in detail but it is enough to say that in all of them, peace was restored and good inter¬ national relations resumed thru the medium of conciliation. This is not a plea for the League of Nations. It is a plea for reason. Any agency whose object is the upbuilding of peace and the substitution of justice for all modes of war should have the support of all right minded men and women. It is a well known fact that war never satisfactorily settles inter¬ national disputes, as the weaker nation is forced to give into the demands of the more powerful. Unless the terms of peace are very generous, she will foster her grievances and, when the moment seems opportune, seek to retaliate. Thus every war leaves its undercurrent of hard feeling. But, as I have shown you by the cases that I have quoted, peace thru arbitration adjusts disputes in a manner satisfactory to all concerned and, as a result, is permanent. This coupled with the fact that it does not require the slaughter of thousands of our youth, or the undermining of our industries, or the breaking down of our national morality should be a strong enough argument to cause the United States to renounce war as an instrument of national policy and advocate the settlement of disputes by arbitration or conciliation. The great minds, all over the world, are demanding a substitute for war that will successfully settle disputes and lay the foundation for per¬ manent peace among nations. This sentiment is echoed in the hearts of thousands of people and exists in almost every nation. The world is caught up in a vertitable peace panic. With public opinion at last aroused, some change in the world’s policy concerning war is inevitable. It is in¬ conceivable that the United States, a nation of peace lovers, should not take a foremost part in such a peace movement. Let us dedicate our nation to the establishment of peace and brotherhood among the nations of the world. In the words of Ex-President Faure of France, “War is old,—pathetically old. Tragically futile, hopelessly antiquated. Peace, heroic and sacrifical, is the new vision.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Cirabuatton Po«m The Challenge Barbara Edgett In days of England’s glory and Arthur’s knights so bold, The stories of his warriors are even now retold: How the vision came—the Holy Grail—and challenged each brave heart And bid them leave their lives so gay and on a new quest start. Not a single staunch soul faltered; each knight made his holy vow, And pledged his youth and manhood with the sword upon his brow. Amid the cheering multitudes, they rode, upright and strong. Until they reached the city gates and faced the world beyond— They did not know what dangers lay before them as they went. But they set a goal to win in life, on which their strength was bent. No thought of turning back had they—they could but try and fail. And thus commenced the famous search for the long-lost Holy Grail. No two knights rode together, each went his separate way— O’er all the earth, through every land, they traveled night and day; And after many months had passed, they all but one returned With hopelessness and dark despair where once high courage burned. They had not found the Holy Grail, their vows unkept had been; One craved a life of pleasure—one had marred his soul with sin. But one fair knight—with soul so pure, he of them all stood true. Sir Galahad, he found the Grail and the Holy City, too. The purest of the Table Round—the just pride of his king His name has thrilled the artist’s soul—has made the poets sing. And down through all the ages his name immortal stands— An example of the things in life a noble soul demands. Again to us that vision comes, the challenge as of old. To give a life of service—to perform great deeds and bold. For us the portals open wide, we face the world outside. Too soon our lives will meet the test, our hearts and faith be tried. Then let us ride with heads held high, our banners to the sky. No fears of danger all unknown—no task too big to try. No one can share our journey now, each one must go alone And take the road that God decrees, on which the light has shown— A life of pleasure ? A life of ease ?—they must not be the goal Of men of truth and vision clear, and purity of soul. And when we reach our soul’s desire where fine ideals prevail We’ll find, we too, like Galahad, have found the Holy Grail! THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Ollass tstorg Natalie Greenberg I will tell you, immediately and confiden¬ tially, that this history records the doings of so unusual a class that when first confronted with the task of writing it, I felt as able as a dime in a Pennsylvania election. Straight¬ way, 1 ran to Miss Abbott for advice. “Look back over the class doings in the past,” she said, “and think them over well. That is what you must do to write—think.” “Fine,” I replied, “there will be no his¬ tory;” but giving that information to the class would be as safe as meeting Mr. Wilson outside of Loew’s on Monday morning! So I chose the one safe course, that of writing it, and here it is. It is still a wonder to everyone that our class should have been sub¬ jected to the indignity of passing through the freshman year at all. But this is easily explained by the fact that the senior home rooms were at that particular time already filled up. So much was our brilliancy appreciated that not a Senior, after we had been assigned to third floor rooms, advised us to take the elevators thither. No, indeed! Instead, we were advised of the brand new airplane system. Among our notable achievements in Class 1 was the election of Elisa¬ beth Plummer to the Blue and Gold Staff, and the producing of a new poetess, Sophie Wexler. After noticing strange signs of restlessness in some of us at certain times during the day, she expressed it in the follow¬ ing poem: Breathes there a man with soul so dead Who never to himself hath said Onward, move onward, O Time in thy flight. And may the bell ring just before I recite. Of course, with our class to furnish such magnificent inspiration, it is no wonder that her latent genius burst forth. Strange to say, the senior home rooms were still filled up when we entered Class 2. Every one not only made us feel at home, but some of the upper classmen made us wish we were there. We were then, incredible as it seems now, innocent and tender and im¬ pressionable, and our first experiences gave us cause for fright. The first THE MALDONIAN 1928-A day some of us, entering Room 122 whither we had been sent for Latin, saw a woman wildly brandishing a strange implement over her desk; it took us a week to accustom ourselves to Miss Herrick’s campaigns against flies. Then some of us accidently wandered into the Library without slips. Well, the next month, almost completely recovered from our terror, a large number of our class had the misfortune to dash into school, late; and made acquaintance with the gentle chidings, and soul-strengthening cross-ex¬ aminations of the school timekeeper in 117. It is no wonder that we told our history teacher that the Sack of Troy was a large bag, and informed an English mentor that a heroic couplet was a brave act by two people! February—and Sophomores at last! An impression of that term would sound something like this—“Je ne comprends pas oui—an equian¬ gular triangle is equilateral—credit sales—Dass iss mein hund—bonus, bona, bonum, boni,—b p g szh—” After we returned from the summer vacation, and after surveying the long trousered men in our midst, we decided that we were eminently, qualified to organize the class. We started to look around for a brilliant leader, and fate favored Miss Watkins’ room as the place for that memor¬ able selection. One day she said, “Name the commonest quadrilateral,” and Ray Powell, emerging from a sweet dream of peace, murmured, “The Ace of Diamonds.” We knew at once we had found our looked for genius. Then it was easy to elect Bob Smith, Richard Austin, and Bertha Bacon as the other officers. We ran a class party under the able direction of our beloved adviser. Miss Abbott, we were the first class to dance in the gym until the unheard-of hour of half-past eleven. School life continued merrily, and we became interested in athletics. Let it here be said that our class is the producer of the Cyclone of the Cinderpath, Booster of Basketball, and Flash of the Football Field_Charlie Wettergreen. Moreover, it was we who gave you the two glorious D’s_ Burning and Dolloff along with Mazonson, Shea, Beals, and Brook. The girls in their turn longed for glory in the field of sports. They desired to organize a field hockey team, but as most of them could not skate well enough, they turned their energies to basketball, swimming, bowling, and tennis. Dot Lewis, Mij Holbrook, Peg Wilkins, Lura Marsh, Fran Knowl- ton, Doris Potter, Sue Antico, and Alice Murphy are proudly wearing letters of distinction. Our Junior Year disclosed to us the terrible plot of Catiline, and in¬ troduces to us a s d f g ; 1 k j h. Here we were in the middle of our school career, and a spirit of—let us be kind and call it—playfulness pos¬ sessed us. When we were study pupils, certain of our teachers were obliged to play chess with us. We were the pawns. You could find us on any one of the five days of the week acting th e part of supers in the pro¬ duction entitled “The Big Tirade” under the direction of Mr. Wilson. That year we decided to shine and to that end purchased our class rings. Soon afterwards, in keeping with our general spirit, we ran a Pirate Party and showed that we were “lads of spirit”. Histrionic stars of THE MALDONIAN 1928-A the first magnitude took part in that, such as Louis Glaser, Mary Harrison, and Barbara Estey. On we passed to Class 7 and underwent Mr. Matthews’ One Year His¬ torical Inquisition. How amused we kept him with our bright and ready rejoinders to every question! We told him Vera Cruz was a movie actress, and that among the slave states that seceded from the Union were Cali¬ fornia, New Mexico, Nevada, Wyoming, and Minnesota. The latter inform¬ ation, I might add, almost prostrated him. When we reached this stage of intellectuality, the Faculty, recognizing our superiority, caused a chapter of the National Honor Society to be form¬ ed with eight of us charter members. The chapter is called the John W. Hutchins chapter, and Elisabeth Plummer was made president. The best and snappiest reception that seniors have ever received in Malden High School we gave that semester to Class 8. As the Faculty remembers, it was so bitter cold that night that Dan McGrew Gliserman had to wear his fur cap during his act, and the vast throng almost froze to death in the wide open spaces of the Gym! At last, on September 12, 1927, the senior home rooms were empty and we took possession of them. What a semester this has been! For the first time, in the history of our school, the Faculty went on record as unanimous¬ ly agreeing that we would not graduate. Miss Herrick was so anxious about us that she even gave us Intelligence Tests. You see, we were so dazzled by the Senior Reception and the phenonema observed at the Faculty Reception that we could not study during the day; and all our evenings we spent in futilely praying for snow for our Outing. In between times we had our features immortalized (that is the regular word when referring to M. H. S. students) at Whitman’s. “Look pretty, please”, the photographer (a humorist) told us and we thought we did, until we saw our proofs. After the trials of picture-taking were over, we staged a glorious Kid’s Party with the help of Mary Harrison and Miss Abbott. Mr. Matthews was in an Eton Suit, Miss Abbott and Miss Varnam in hair ribbons, and we were in hysterics. For the first time in four years we felt natural. But, as all good things must come to an end, the Faculty is reluctantly resigning itself to part from us. Here we sit, the class famous for never having swum the Channel, made a trans-Atlantic flight, or argued Mr. Batchelder into changing a recitation mark in Geometry. Seriously, we have had lots of fun here—we have grown up here, and been educated. We leave Malden High his week. It makes us blue to go, but the old M. H. S. spirit will always remain 18 Karat Gold in us! THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Ollagg pJill Gertrude Palmer In consideration of the fact that the school is soon to be deprived of our illustrious presence, we the Class of 1928-A, of the Malden High School of the City of Malden, in the County of Middlesex, Commonwealth of Massachusetts, being in possession of a good disposition and of sound mind and body, in addition to the vast knowledge flung at our unresisting heads by our beloved faculty, and being desirous of settling our worldly affairs while we still have the strength and capacity to do so, do hereby publish and declare this to be our last will and test¬ ament. 1. To the Class of 1928-B, we leave the chance to be the second best class that ever graduated. 2. To the entire student body, we leave the hope that a more spacious gymnasium will be provided in the near future both for athletic and social events. 3. To those sophisticated sophomores, who at present reside on the third floor, we leave the added space in the assembly hall resulting from our departure. 4. To Mr. Jenkins we bequeath our deepest affection and sincere thanks for all that he has done for us. 5. To Miss Lovell we leave one more umbrella with the hope that some day she may make a fortune in the umbrella business. 6. To “Freddie” Kerwin we leave the shoes of our fleet-footed Charlie. 7. To Mr. Batchelder we leave the sole right to relate events that took place in Minneapolis. 8. To Miss Slattery we bequeath an extra “Morning Hour” that she may read when and where she pleases, even at Bulletin time if she so desires. 9. To George Lodgen we leave a few members of our class to enrich his corps of assistants. 10. To Arthur Baker we leave a book by “Gene” Rock entitled “When I was a Little, Little Boy”. 11. To Mr. Matthews we bequeath a prize for his undisputed popu¬ larity with the fair sex. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A 12. To Miss Cooper we leave a reminder that the next time she con¬ templates going abroad, we will be ready at a moment’s notice to ac¬ company her. 13. To “Bill” Davis, we leave Aylmer Jones’s “leather-plated shoe horn” which he used in the band, hoping that its effect in the future will be more pleasing to the ear than at present. 14. To Doris Sanford we bequeath Lura’s place at the piano. 15. To Mr. Nash we leave the privilege of turning time backward for the sake of delinquent students. SPECIAL BEQUESTS 1. To Thomas Marshall we leave a brand new Year Book in payment for his which we ruined in formulating plans for our own. 2. To Mr. Wilson we bequeath a Year Book containing (according to his belief) the greatest rogue’s gallery that he will ever see. 3. To Miss Varnam and Mr. Matthews we also leave Year Books lest they forget Toy Town Tavern and the Class of ’28-A. 4. To Miss Child, in appreciation of all she has done to perfect our graduation program, we leave a Year Book. 5. To Miss Dearborn, the beloved leader of the class of 1928-B, we bequeath a Year Book so that she may not encounter the usual difficulties in finding one. 6. To Miss Abbott, who has advised us on every occasion and in every emergency in our thrilling journey through the High School, we leave our love and appreciation of all that she has generously done for us. Signed, sealed, published and declared by the Class of 1928-A, in our presence, and we, at its request and in its presence and in the presence of each other have hereby, herein, and hereunto subscribed our names as witnesses on Friday, this third day of February, in the Year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and twenty-eight. Signed: Charles Wettergreen Class President. Witnesses: Joseph 1. Tupper Charles B. Edwards John McManus THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Oliass ag ©ration Loyalty Marj Harrison Fellow schoolmates, I am not going to deliver a sermon, nor am I going to expostu¬ late on why I am a fit one to discuss with you the subject I have in mind. We’ll take that for granted!! What is it that makes a dutiful Malden High School pupil? That is the question at issue! Can it be interest? Interest is neces¬ sary, and yet I can cite a case to show that this is not the first and foremost duty of a student to his school. There is one worthy member of our class whose magnetic personality, whose forceful character, whose wonderful ability so endeared him in the hearts and minds of our teachers, that they have kept him here for close onto six years. Was it merely interest which drew him back—(or should I say kept him back?) No, it was more than interest in Mr. Nash’s exciting Latin classes, or in our “Starr’s” exploits in the chemical heaven. Can it be obligation? No it cannot. Very often, many members of our class come to school when they really would like to go elsewhere. Why? Because they are obligated to come? No—of course not! The word which I have in mind would easily answer this question. Now, let me give you the word. It is loyalty!! We need go no further than the Senior class to find loyalty, and there it shows itself in goodly measure. I think of our worthy classmate Rock when I make this statement. Despite the fact that his “little body is a-weary of this great world,” despite the fact that he has lost his appetite, and now only eats like a bird—a peck at a time, he is becoming ‘boulder’ every day, in his resolu¬ tion to be loyal to his school. Was it anything but loyalty which prompted our football hero to turn one of his scented letters over to his coach? Indeed it was not, and now we all know about “Marguerite”, though since her letter arrived at Christmas time, holly (Hawley) has been more in evidence than ever. And our worthy classmate, Balcomb, is trying hard to live down the nickname given him, by being loyal in his attendance every day. (Of course, we must make allowances for accidents) THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Miss Abbott, our class adviser, deserves much credit for the active part she has taken in making our class a loyal one. She Held high the torch, and lit the way For the loyal class of ’28A. The rest of our loyal faculty comes in for no little credit also at this time for the way in which they have helped our class, and in which they are sure to help each Senior class to come. Why, many of them set aside Monday afternoons for us so that we might come back and learn lessons in loyalty, (and, incidentlj some other dull subjects such as mathematics or Latin.) In many cases, however, were it not for these “Monday after¬ noons” not a few of us would be loyal to our school for more than the required four years. The only known case of disloyalty in the whole class is attributed to Louis Glazer—but it was offset by truthfulness. Once Louis Glaz er was late, and when asked the reason for his tardiness, he spoke right up truthfully, and said, “I would have run, only I was afraid that Mr. Batchelder might see me and want me for his track team.” Loyalty to the teachers in the class room should abound. The neces¬ sity of being loyal in doing homework was clearly exemplified in the conversation I overheard, between two Sophomores. It was just before the History period, and one fair student said to another, “Do you know anything about the Mayflower Compact?” “No,” said she, “but if it is any better than the one I am using now, Til get one.” Loyalty is the first requisite in a pupil’s duty to his school. Though we are all just as glad to see Friday come as Crusoe was, we must be “on the job” again on Monday, loyal to our school first, last, and always. “The old order changeth, yielding place to new.” Soon the burden of responsibility will be shifted from our shoulders to yours, and you will “take up the unfinished task which we who struggled here have thus far so nobly advanced.” Just as we all know that you cannot pound a nail with a sponge no matter how hard you soak it, so it is that you cannot be a real student, unless you are loyal. So remember: No matter if you’re worn out sick. And like to say you cannot stick. You must be staunch, you must be true, And Loyal to the Gold and Blue. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A mxm (Class D.i.«vm(s THE MALDONIAN 1928-A bitormls Live Coals I recently gazed into a fireplace. On one side, there was a bright, crackling flame that sent forth a wealth of warmth—but on the other, the dead ashes gave no bright welcome, but instead, sent a chill feeling through me of a mysterious void, an unexplainable emptiness. The con¬ trast between these two symbols of existing circumstances that were so near each other in position, yet so far from one another in aspect, made me stop a moment to think what they reminded me of. Life on one side, bright, sparkling youth; laughter, joy, happiness;—Death on the other, gray darkness, shrouded in the mystery of that vast veiled plan. On the one side, happy people—looking on the bright side of things with a pleas¬ ant word for all, a smile for rich and poor alike; on the other, the ashen- gray, listless type—with hardly a good word for anyone, lacking the “push” to venture into new fields, lacking the character to live and love. These two sides of life are ever present. We find them in the home, in the classroom, in fact, in every walk of life. After all, it doesn’t pay to be a “dead coal”—the bright ones have so much more fun in being “alive”. Do not forget that we shall all be gone long enough; let’s live and “glow” while we may. “Live, and find a joy in living. Soon enough will come the day Set for reck’ning and forgiving. Not for work and not for play. Live and love that those around you Everything upon earth’s sod Will shout aloud of nature’s splendor Will glory in the work of God!” —Mary Harrison THE MALDONIAN 1928-A In Appreciation Not long after we entered upon the second semester of our sophomore year, we were assembled in the hall and told that our class was to be organ¬ ized and that Miss Martha H. Abbott was to be our faculty adviser. As we were organized comparatively late, we set to work with enthusiasm to make up for lost time. Elections were held and we took our place among the organized classes of the school. From that time on, the success of all our undertakings has been largely due to the indefatigable work of our adviser. It was when we planned our first class party that we realized how fortunate we were in having Miss Abbott. What would we have done without her aid and originality? Our class party plays became the envy of the other classes; they were given before the school. No one can fully appreciate the time, and effort, and yes, patience this required from her. Yet she gave it gladly and willingly. And so it has been throughout our school course. Miss Abbott has always been ready to give us her time and herself. And now that we have reached the end of our school career, we take this opportunity to express our appreciation for all that she has done for us. —Elisabeth Plummer Girls’ Swimming Once again those ardent lovers of swimming have had their dreams realized—girls’ swimming has been started in Malden High. Almost every year, it has commenced, accompanied by high enthus¬ iasm, keen interest, and a large number of girls. Nevertheless, almost every year the number has dwindled to about half-a-dozen, enthusiasm has flagged, and interest has ceased. Will that be the result of this year ? Shall we have a swimming team ? Let us hope so, and let us put girls’ swimming in the list of regular sports at M. H. S.! Now that we have a peach of a coach. Miss Millard, from Boston School of Physical Culture, we ought to have a bigger a ttendance at the pool and an increasing interest in swimming. Although we all can not expect to be on the first or second squad, nevertheless we ought to show an M. H. S. spirit of “Never say die!” —Bertha Bacon THE MALDONIAN 1928-A The Blind Date Muriel Cole “Going to the Theta Chi dance, Midge?” “Gee, I don’t know, Louise, I have to find a man first. Now, if Don only danced. I’d ask him in a minute. He says he doesn’t see any sense in dancing. Can you beat that?” (These last four words were said very disgustedly.) “Of course I could take Dick, but I hardly ever have a good time when I go with him. I suppose I really should ask him, though; he took me to the last frat dance.” The two girls, walking along the campus of Rock Park College, then proceeded to discuss the subject, “What man shall I take to the dance?” Every sorority dance aroused the same question—whom to take? “Variety is the spice of life,” Midge had once said when asked why she didn’t take the same fellow to every dance. She had plenty of boy friends but somehow she didn’t care enough about them to ask them, that is—except Donald Blaine, and he didn’t dance! Of course the very one she wanted, she couldn’t have. “That’s always the way,” she reflected bitterly. “Dick was hinting to me only yesterday that he would like to go. I’ll be hanged if I’ll ask him.” Louise and Midge were roommates. They lay awake half the night discussing every fellow they knew who danced—pro and con. “You’re too particular. Midge,” said Louise, “Why, there are dozens ' of men who are just dying for you to ask them.” “Let them die,” said Midge coolly. “I’m going to sleep.” Whereupon she turned her back on Louise and slowly went off to the land of dreams. The next morning Louise greeted Midge with the information, “I know whom I shall ask. Midge.” “Who?” inquired Midge sleepily, for she had just got out of bed. “Your brother Jack.” “What?” Midge sleepily, for she had just got out of bed. “Your brother Jack.” “What?” Midge was fully awake now. “Jack? Why, I didn’t know that you knew him.” “I don’t, but I like his picture and you have often said what a nice dancer he is. I have always been skeptical of blind dates, but seeing that he’s your brother he must be all right. “Thanks,” returned Marjorie dryly. The girls were now ready to go down to breakfast. The subject of the dance wasn’t mentioned for a couple of days, for there were some stiff exams going on and Midge and Louise, like the rest of the girls, were burning the midnight oil. Two days later, Louise came skipping into her room, holding up a letter. Oh, M!idge dear. Jack is coming 1 I have a letter from him sayin that he will. I’m glad that’s off my mind. Now I must decide what to wear.” The ever-present question, “What shall I wear?” “I’m awfully glad he is going with you,” said Midge. “He’s a nice kid even if I do say it. Gee, I’ll have to get busy myself, I guess. I wonder how a blind date would pan out for me?” i wonaer “Midge!” exclaimed Louise. “Why not get Jack to bring another lellow from college. You don’t know anyone there, except of course, Don. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A I think it is funny about Don—not even trying to dance. Do you remem¬ ber—we offered to teach him once, but he refused. Something must be the matter with him, I guess.” “Now, don’t you say anything against Don,” retorted Midge quickly. “He is my ideal, even though he won’t dance. Oh, Louise, he’s w-o-n-d-e-r- f-u-1.” “You certainly have a case, my dear,” replied Louise. “Well, what are you going to do? Going to have one, or not? You had better get busy or you won’t have any man to take! I’m going to do that darned Horace now. Farewell, and good luck, dearie,” and Louise went out of the room. So Midge wrote a letter to her brother asking him to get her a man for the Theta Chi dance. She wrote out a description of a person she would like: “Hair—dark. (Don has dark hair.) Eyes—grey. (Of course, his are grey.) Height—Well, about Don’s height. “Don’t bring a blonde. Jack,” she wrote. “Ladies don’t prefer blondes—at least I don’t.” Jack’s answer came a few days later saying that he had a peach of a fellow for her. Just fitted her description! “What’s his name?” inquired Louise when she heard the news. Midge re-read the letter. “Why, Jack doesn’t say. I should think he would know that I should like to know his name, at least. Oh well, that’s all the more exciting. What’s in a name? Here’s hoping I didn’t pick a bone.” The dance was scheduled for the next Friday evening at the country club. Jack’s train would not get in until a few minutes before the dance began. “Gee, this is terrible,” said Midge as the two girls were dressing on Friday night. “Why, we won’t even have time to get acquainted before the dance.” “Oh, cheer up. Midge”, said Louise. “I guess Jack wouldn’t bring a pancake for you.” The house mother appeared in the doorway and informed the girls that two young men were waiting for them in the reception hall. “We must hurry,” said Louise. With a final pat of powder the girls descended for their blind dates. Midge went in ahead of Louise in order to greet her brother. She stopped on the threshold and stared. “Don!” she cried, “Why, what are you doing here?” Don flashed that beautiful smile she loved and replied, “Why, I was asked to the Theta Chi dance. My dear girl, you ask a fellow to a dance and then ask him what he’s doing here?” “Why-why-I didn’t know it was you, Don. I thought you couldn’t dance.” “I couldn’t, but I wanted to take you to the frat dances this winter so, lo! and behold! the non-dancing Donald takes it up.” And that evening- “Oh, Midge, dear, do you like me any better now that I can dance ? I did it for you, you know.” “Like you any better?” repeated Midge, “Why, Don, I couldn’t like you any better—whether you danced or not. After all, dancing isn’t the only thing in this world.” “No,” said Don softly, “you are the only thing in this world for me.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A The Intervention Sophie Wexler We laugh when we are happy, We are saddened when we weep; But these are the lesser emotions, And God says; “Reap.” But when wild joy, or love, sweeps over your body.

THE MALDONIAN 1928-A The Fairy Ceremonial Sophie Wexler Midnight and the fairy-ring! Mortals all asleep, Haste, the charm is weaving; Look before you leap! Fairies, brownies, pixies, elves Celebrate tonight. Hark, hear the bugle. Thrilling with delight! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. In the magic grotto. Fairies come to vow. Watch the ceremonial Just beginning now. You must eat of fairy bread Faith have, most of all. Queen Mam is waiting. Hear the bugle call! Tra, la, la, la, la, la, la. La, la, la, la. “We vow by all that’s holy. The fairy-ring and the moon— That love and faith shall bind us. Forever as in June. Who breaks faith with the fairies. Consigned must be to earth. Know the vows, every fairy. Let us always then be wary: Holding holy every vow!” Daylight in the offing! Lo, the night has fled; Dawn is rising up betimes. And the moon is sped. Fallen is the night of joy. Broken is the spell. Hark, hear the cock crow, Shouting all is well! The above poem was written by our own Sophie Wexler, who pot her inspiration from the lovely, musical poems of Alfred Noyes. One day, while reading his “Sherwood”, a little tune appeared in her mind, and, hastening to the piano, she played something that made one think of elves, silverfooted moons above mysterious trees, and tall toadstools made for joyous frolics. Miss Abbott, hearing it accidently, suggested that the song be sung at graduation. The idea and the song were taken to Miss Perkins, who arranged for its presentation in intelligible musical form. The song is divided into four parts: (1) the gathering of the fairies in the magic grotto, (2) their vows, wh ich, if broken, consign them to earth, (3) the dance, and (4) their flight at cock-crow. It has been put into 1st Soprano, 2nd Soprano, and Alto. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Three Sketches Sophie Wexler 1. APRIL The rain ticks absent-mindedly, like a clock forgetting a second here and there in the manner that one would leave out words from a poem learned verbatim ... Or it is like gentle little fairy feet dancing slowly down the stairs of a tree, feeling uncertainly, as if in the dark, patting the stair with a silver-sounding foot to make sure first. The sky is colorless—like water. There is a soft, subdued radiance in it, like a crimson slip hiding under a woman’s grey dress. The sky is the mother of the rain. The rain dives easily, gracefully, like a young headlong girl, or a mil¬ lion young headlong girls, going to embrace life—or the ground—and find¬ ing it hard, and getting bruised—just a little. A little chill goes hand in hand with the rain. I wonder if it is not there—a guardian, to repress the hot ardor of the enterprising rain ? II. RESCUED He leaned over her and faintly she heard the sea still thundering be¬ hind her. He was beautiful, with the strong, strong beauty of glorious health and god-like living. His hair was wavy, and crisp with the sea; and his eyes were intense under full black brows. He had a full, aristocratic mouth and the dark of his cheeks struggled with the red of his blood. Her eyelids fluttered. There was a strange face, but not a dream face. She gave a long, half-sobbing sigh. “Why did you make me live ?” she whispered, like a child. But the strange face would not answer. HI. MAY TIME Merrily she tripped down the stairs. Her bright, laughing face held the deep, strong, brown and red of the apple orchard on a wet day. Her hair was in long, crisp curls, black and shining, which leaned over her rest¬ less shoulders saucily, bobbingly, as if they caught the joyous infection of her spirit. She held her flowered skirt high over her ankles, singing at the top of her voice: “Hey! Dey! Tis the month o’ May, With lads and lasses dancing.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A What Care I?

THE MALDONIAN 1928-A The Mouse (With wpologies to Edgar Allen Poe) Mary Harrison Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, Over many tiresome lessons reallj minus any lore— While I sat there, knowledge seeking, suddenly there came a creaking. As of something faintly squeaking, squeaking ’hind my pantry door— “It is but the cat,” I muttered, “squeaking ’hind my pantry door— Only this and nothing more.” Ah, distinctly I remember, it was in the bleak December; Of the family, every member was in Dreamland to explore. Eagerly I sought to borrow knowledge for the coming morrow. When this noise, to my great sorrow, came from ’hind the pantry door. “Can it be a mouse,” 1 muttered, “Thing that I do most abhor? Let it not be, I implore!” Presently the sound grew stronger; daring then to wait no longer. Up I jumped upon the rocker furthest from the pantry door; And my nerves were all a-quiver, how my hands and teeth did shiver. Would some kind Fate me deliver from that “SOMETHING” ’hind the door. Maybe never, never more. As I stood there, eyes a-tearing, always cringing, always fearing. Wondering if I had the courage to go in there and explore. When unto my greatest horror, came a mouse; I shrieked in terror, “Father, mother, sister, brother, help me, help me, I implore,” For the mouse was now quite near me, right behind the kitchen door, “Help me!” I did cry once more! When the family heard the reason for my fright, they said ’twas treason That in such a chilly season I’d disturbed them from a snore. Father soon did rid the housie, of this wretched little mousie. Then and there I vowed of such things I would be afraid no more. Never will I fear a mousie, even one behind a door ! NEVER, Never, never (??), more!! THE MALDONIAN 1928-A What Fve Learned About Being A Captain Charles Wettergreen From earliest times, human nature, which prevails among groups of people everywhere and at everytime, has aroused in them the instinct and desire for leadership. Always some individual has been chosen, directly or indirectly, as the leader, and the people have recognized that person as their spokesman and have supported him in the fulfillment of their cause. Com¬ ing down to the present day, we see leaders in every field, and sports are no exception. When the track season rolled around again, I found myself in a new role, not just an ordinary trackster, but burdened with the duties of captain. I appreciated this posi tion and immediately began to wonder just what my duties would be if I were to be a successful and not just an or¬ dinary captain. I reviewed the past captains that I had known, and studied what they had done, and how they had acted tow ' ard the other fellows in the situations that arose. Continuing to muse upon this ground, I hit upon a theory of leadership. I concluded that any leader had at least three duties. His first duty was to his cause, his second duty to his group, and his third duty to himself. My cause being my school, I concluded that my primary duty was to it, that I must do my best at all times for my school. My next duty was to my team. This, in my opinion, consisted of three things. First, I must encourage the right attitude among the team toward the school and coach. Second, I had a duty to each individual on that team, namely, I owed each member something. I must be friendly toward every boy; I must be interested in everything that everybody was trying to do; I must encourage every boy in his particular event, even to the extent of en¬ couraging on the side, when the coach was disheartening; I must do my best to make every boy believe fundamentally in himself and his ability, even more strongly than I did. I must encourage and, in some cases, alter the attitude of the team toward my coach and fellow tracksters. If I could maintain these duties toward my team; I felt that it would lead to a spirit of unity among the team, a feeling which is vitallj necessary in any group. My duty to the team collectively was to keep a friendly attitude every¬ where, to discourage quarrels and bickerings, because the cooperation of the team with themselves and with their coach must be one hundred per cent. My third and last duty was toward myself. This consisted in keeping myself fit to compete at all times; to try to make myself an example for training and condition; I must keep a smile forever adorning my lips, even though discouraged inside, in order to keep others about me comfortable; I must be the friendly pal and the confidant of my coach, setting an example of attentive respect for his teachings; in short, I must do all in my power to make my team the most successful team ever to represent my school. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A I believed that if I fulfilled these three duties,—to my school, my team, and myself, that I would be at least some distance on the road toward ac¬ complishment. Football being a different branch of sport, I wondered, when I was chosen captain, if the same principles applied. Here was a new problem; would I tackle it in the same way ? I concluded that the same system would be applicable. I found, however, hardly before the season had started, that I was destined to sit on the bench for eight of the eleven weeks. Could anyone be a successful non-playing captain? Could I live up to my theories without playing? At least, I could try. I managed to be at practice every day, and got to know every boy personally and to under¬ stand his nature to a certain degree. I did my best to fulfill my duties even though not playing and continued even after I was able to play. I may say that my reward came in the words of the coach when he said that in twenty years of coaching, the 1927 squad had the best spirit of any team that he had ever coached. If so, it is because we were all friends. I think that the most vital thing in leadership is friendliness.

THE MALDONIAN 1928-A NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY In June, 1927, the John Hutchins Chapter of the National Honor Society was established in Malden High School, with the following as charter members: Elisabeth Plummer, Gertrude Palmer, Mary Harrison, Natalie Greenberg, Eleanor Lindabury, Barbara Estey, James Turner, and Marjorie Holbrook. To be chosen for this society, members must first of all stand in the first quarter of the class in scholarship, and then must qualify in leadership, character, and service. The emblem of the society is a pin with keystone and flaming torch, bearing the letters C.S.L. S., standing for Character, Scholarship, Leadership, and Service, the four principles which make or break any school. In November, the members spoke in home rooms of class three, to tell the principles and the purpose of the society. In January, 1928, officers were elected as follows: President, Elisabeth Plummer; Vice-President, Mary Harrison; Secretary, James Turner. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A THE BLUE AND GOLD “The Blue and Gold forever” is a motto that every subscriber to the school paper believes in. Its pages are kept alive with romantic stories, peppy cartoons, and jokes that are appreciated because they are “our jokes.” The reporters are kept busy scribbling accounts of parties and meetings. The exchanges contain cheery greetings from pupils in High Schools in cities as far away as Mexico. Everyone knows what the “Blue and Gold” is, but few realize that there is an active stalf behind this paper, pupils who voluntarily assume responsibility and extra work and who receive no material reward for their elforts. “Why do they do it?” “School Spirit!” To be sure; everyone should want to do his part for his school. But there is, perhaps, a greater in¬ centive. The work involved in writing and compiling a paper is entirely different from anything in the school curriculum. This outside training is bound to prove valuable to the staff member at some time; it renders him dependable and more efficient, and increases his self-confidence. Then, too, a good deal of self-respect comes to the pupil who sees the results of his efforts in a good edition of the “Blue and Gold”. There are many, many students outside the staff who are ever willing to do their bit for the paper, and a great many of these obliging individuals are in this graduating class. The “Blue and Gold” wishes to thank these thoughtful ones, and extends the best wishes possible for the welfare of all those who are leaving. EDITORIAL STAFF Editor-in-chief—George E.

Gilman Business —Mr. John B. Matthews THE MALDONIAN 1928-A EXECUTIVE COUNCIL LIT Th e Malden High School Literary Society has just finished its fifty- fifth year. It is the oldest High School society existing in Massachusetts. The year opened under the new administration with George Ferguson, President; Dominic Antonucci, Vice-President; Donald Davis, Secretary; Lloyd Matson, Treasurer; John F. Rood, Jr., Publicity Manager; and James Small and Aylmer Jones, Executive Council. Pres. Ferguson immediately started the society moving in a vigorous manner, new members were drafted, debates participated in, and representatives enrolled in the Prize Speaking Contest. George Lodgen, one of our members, was sent to Colby where he won a prize. The annual banquet was held in the Malden Club with Fitzpatrick Brothers as caterers. The banquet which was attended by nearly fifty members and alumni, was conducted by President Ferguson in a new man¬ ner, in order to have an air of informality pervade. No prepared speeches were given, but some twenty-five alumni spoke for a few minutes. The Literary Society is looking forward to the coming season with doubled interest, for membership in the tri-league debating club should provide new fields for “Lit” members to excel in. The membership is now about forty and all that are able have the society at heart, and keep to our slogan, “Lit, first, last, and always!” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A EXECUTIVE COUNCIL USONA The Usona Society of Malden High School began its forty-ninth ad¬ ministration with the following officers: President for two semesters, Bar¬ bara Estey; Vice-President, Lura Marsh; Secretary, Elisabeth Plummer; Treasurer, Gertrude Palmer; Deputy, Eleanor Hirtle; Publicity Manager, Phyllis Mayo; Board of Directors, Helen Moore, Genevieve Garran, Mar¬ jorie Holbrook, Frances Knowlton. Mr. John B. Matthews, Usona’s adviser, in his talk this semester de¬ fined the meaning of each letter that goes to make up the word “Usona”. U is for Usefulness, S for Service, 0 for Optimism, N for Nobility, A for Activity. This analysis gives an insight into the “real Usona”. Usona, the Girls’ Honor Society, does not devote itself entirely to literary and de¬ bating activities, but does its utmost in serving the school. The first entertainment was in the form of a very interesting lecture given by Miss Helen Cooper on her experiences in France. Mr. Bartlett also favored the society with readings at one meeting. Other entertain¬ ments have been in the form of short debates and short stories by the members. The annual alumnae banquet was held at the home of its president. Miss Barbara Estey. At the annual Lit-Usona joint meeting, two plays were given by the members,—“Katherine Parr” and “The Twelve Pound Look.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A COGNOSCENDI CAUSA The Cognoscendi Causa Society, known by all as Cog, has just com¬ pleted its sixth year of existence. The officers, who have served, very faithfully, are: President, Louis Weiner; Vice-President, Isadore Rosen¬ blatt; Treasurer, Myer Rosenzwieg; Secretary, John Carr; Publicity Mana¬ ger, Bernard Cushman; Executive Board, George Lodgen, Louis Glaser, and Albert Cohen. Cog has accomplished much during its short existence. It now con¬ ducts a Speaking Contest every year. The boys who win are sent to Colby to compete in the contest there, and for the past two years, they have carried the third and the second prizes back to Malden. Cog has also in¬ stituted the custom of presenting the Orator of the graduating class with a silver cup as a memorial of his forensic ability. Cog held its annual banquet, which was a huge success. Miss Slattery, Mr. Matthews, and several Cog alumni spoke. Another of the big events of the year was the forming of a triangular debating league consisting of Cog, Lit, and Usona. The plan was sponsored by Cog. Besides sponsor¬ ing inter-society debating. Cog has been responsible for the formation of class debating teams. This has thus far been enthusiastically received by the classes, and bids fair to develop into a regular custom. It should be a marked success. Cog is growing rapidly and many new members have been admitted. So Cog has had a busy year and is looking forward to a busier one. Most of Cog’s members are at present lower classmen, and have already accomplished such a great deal that a great deal more is to be expected of them in the future. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLUB The M. H. S. English Club began its fifth administration in September with the following officers: President, John Carr; Vice-President, Ruth Winchell; Secretary, Ada Blume; Treasurer, Henry Greenberg; Publicity Manager, Mary Mrose; and Deputy, James Small. Under the able leader¬ ship of Miss Adeline Wetmore the club has undergone a very successful semester. One important event was the second annual play, ' ‘She Stoops to Con¬ quer,” a comedy by Oliver Goldsmith. The play was presented before a large audience. Much of the credit for the success goes to the members of the cast and Miss Abbott, the worthy coach. A challenge for an informal debate with the Tec English Club has been received. As yet the subject and date are undecided upon. A bronze medal is to be given by the club to that person in the grad¬ uating class excelling in dramatics. The M. H. S. English Club was formed for the purpose of advancing in all branches of English, namely, debating, story-writing, public-speak¬ ing, and dramatics. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A TEC Tec English Club is linishing its fifth semester and is looking forward to another with enthusiasm. All of its members but four are graduating, so the membership com¬ mittee is busy hunting up new members who will help carry on the good work. The meetings with Miss Abbott as adviser are something that every member looks forward to with delight. The entertainment committee has made the meetings intensely interesting. One of the most enjoyable diversions of the semester was the trip to the Arlington Theatre to see Fritz Leiber Company play “Hamlet”. The object of the Tec English Club is the improvement of its mem¬ bers in literary work, through reading and discussion of literature and practice in writing, speaking, and dramatics. At the last meeting of the semester original themes were read by some of the members and furnished the rest of us with an evening full of laughs. Tec is sorry to lose its old members and wishes them and the rest of the class of 1928A success and happiness and hopes all their wishes will be fulfilled. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A LE CERCLE FRANCAIS In the latter semester of 1927, a new organization, Le Cercle Francais, was formed by Miss Berton and Miss Cooper. The purpose was to furnish an opportunity to speak French, an increased knowledge of the language, and recreation to those members of Classes VII and VIII who had received an average of “B” the preceding semesters in French. The season began by the election of officers: Peter Stiffle, President; Elisabeth Plummer, Vice-President; Eveljm Murray, Secretary; and Gertrude Palmer, Treas¬ urer. The monthly meetings which followed were conducted in French, and furnished most pleasant entertainment. The club was launched upon its second semester by the election of new officers: Elisabeth Plummer, President; Louis Weiner, Vice-President; Gertrude Palmer, Secretary; George Phyllides, Treasurer; and Hyman Westerman, Publicity-Manager. There followed a series of meetings more successful than those of the preceding semester and more effectively ful¬ filling the purpose of the organization. We take this occasion to thank Miss Berton and Miss Cooper for their untiring efforts in increasing the interest in French. We wish them the greatest success in the years to follow and may they receive ample return for the time and energy they have given to such a worthy cause. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A THE SARGENT ART CLUB The Sargent Art Club, one of the youngest clubs of Malden High School, was organized in June 1927. The cognomen is in honor of John Singer Sargent, America’s greatest portrait painter, who died in 1925. This club was organized with the purpose of furthering the interests of the drawing students and those who are interested in art. Aside from draw¬ ing and painting, the club has made a special study of the life of John Singer Sargent, which is very interesting, for, although he was America’s painter, he lived the greater part of life in Europe, especially in England. The club members are entitled to the use of a room on the fourth floor, in which to hold their weekly meetings. This room has every aspect of an artist’s studio, with the skylight overhead to give the lighting effect, with odd bits of furniture scattered about, and with the results of many days work decorating the walls. The club work has been divided into two separate groups, one week being devoted to class work, and the other week being taken up with individual work. In order to gain a more wide¬ spread knowledge of art, the members paid frequent visits to places of art interest in Boston. One very interesting afternoon was spent at the Museum of Fine Arts and another at the Public Library, where there was a special tapestry exhibit. There have been trips to the Copley Galleries, where Laura C. Hills held a exhibition of pastels of flowers, and to Mrs. Jack Gardner’s Palace, where there are numerous paintings, statues, and mural decorations. The Sargent Art Club has been the first of its kind for a number of years and has received a start that has put it well on its way toward grow¬ ing and developing to be an ever remaining part of Malden High School. The officers of the second administration are as follows: Helen Foster, President; Max Levine, Vice-President; Viola Julien, Secretary; Freder¬ ick Conway, Treasurer. Miss Lyon is the honorary and faithful adviser. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A LATIN CLUB A Latin Club, the S. P. Q. R., was organized last year, and held three successful meetings. These meetings consisted of a discussion of subjects pertaining to the value of Latin and its obvious connections with other languages, especially English. The different classes in Latin hold their meetings at different times. The Senior S. P. Q. R., in which are enrolled the original members, have chosen the following members of this semester: For Consuls: George Phyllides and George Lodgen. For Scriba: Jean Phyllides. For Quaestor: Louis Weiner. For Aediles: Mary Mrose, Rebecca Hawley, Florence Goodwin, Sara Winer, Pearl Edelston, Sarah Werlinsky, Dominic Antonnucci, Arthur Baker, Bernard Graves, Abraham Stein, Isaac Singer, and Leonard Millen. These officers have been chosen from pupils receiving an average of at least eighty-five per cent. For their first meeting for this semester, the members are to enact the play “Dido” by Schlicker. Miss Whittum, who is the club adviser, will coach this play. THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL RIPPLE CLUB The Malden High School Rifle Club held its first meeting Nov. 17, 1927. The officers, George Reardon, President; John Prescott, Vice-President; Mr. Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer; and David Storey, Executive Officer, were present to welcome thirty new and old members. The club has been affili¬ ated with the N. R. A. J. C. since its foundation, and this year the Corps has adopted a new schedule in which three teams from one school can com¬ pete because of division qualifications. At present, Malden has only en¬ tered one team, which secured sixth place in the first division in the last match. Since the first meeting, practice has been held every Monday and Thursday evening. No definite team has been picked yet, but, after the Christmas holidays, a team is to be selected which will compete in a schedule now being drawn up. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The girls have been singing this semester two very pretty songs, “The Dream Boat Passes By”, from which our “Moonlight and Roses” was taken, and “The Skaters”, a sparkling, jolly piece. These two songs are to be sung before Usona on December 21 to furnish the entertainment for that day. The remaining numbers of the program will be a vocal solo by Shirley Hodge, a dance by Natalie Bicknell, a recitation by Mildred West- cott, and a piano solo by Ruth Elliott. We have entertainments at our club frequently in the form of vocal solos. At one of our meetings Theodore Von Kamecke rendered solos which we enjoyed immensely. Besides singing delightful songs, the girls are learning to appreciate music under the leadership of Miss Perkins. They also have breathing exercises, arpeggios, and scale work for voice development. A business meeting is held every other week so as to give more time to singing. The officers are as follows: President, Charlotte Solomont; Vice-Presi¬ dent, Evelyn Greeley; Secretary, Winifred Rolfe; Treasurer, Mary Mrose; Librarian, Natalie Bicknell; Chairman, Entertainment Committee, Sophie Wexler; Chairman, Bulletin Committee, Marion MacCarthy; Chairman, Voice Committee, Ethel Levine; Chairman, Publicity Committee, Bertha Bacon; Accompanist, Ruth Elliott; Leader, Miss Perkins. In closing we add, “Long May the Girls’ Glee Club Prosper!” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club of Malden High School has for the previous semester been one of the most popular during the existence of our High School. Starting with a membership of about nineteen, they have been con¬ stantly increasing in number, singing ability, cooperation. This splendid progress is due to the efforts of Miss Perkins, who, by her patience and skill in dealing with young men, has put the Club where it stands now in musical circles. The popularity of the Club has secured the opportunity for the boys to sing on many occasions. They have sung for the school, for the Girls’ Glee Club, for the French Club, and at some future date intend to sing over the radio. Those who have helped to make the Club a success are: Israel Albert—President Arthur Simonds—Vice-President Frederick Wescott— Secretary Wilbur Bigelow—Treasurer William Morton—Librarian Theodore Von Kamecke—Chm. Voice Committee Norman Carter—Chm. Entertainment Committee Norman Carter, George Varjabedian—Accompanists Alexander Gelpe—Publicity Manager 1st TENORS—Theodore Von Kamecke, Fred Wescott, Morton Hamil¬ ton, Leslie Newman, Harry Fox, Harry Mazonson, Israel Albert, Max Suvalsky. 2nd TENORS—Wilbur Bigelow, Robert Dixon, Oscar Spector, Albert Rudman, Alexander Gelpe, Robert Lapidus, George Phyllides, Bernard Graves. 1st BASS—Arthur Simonds, Noi man Greene, Wiliam Morton, Paul Smith, Rolf Kristiansen. 2nd BASS—James Small, Joseph Zimmerman, Joseph Lemmo, George McKenna, Max Budilov, Benjamin Blesofsky. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A ORCHESTRA The orchestra of M. H. S. has had an active program and a very suc¬ cessful season. A new form of organization was tried out and proved profitable. In September, when the call for musicians was issued, a great many veteran members of the orchestra appeared, with even more “Fresh¬ men” and less experienced musicians. It was difficult to direct such a large number, and the veterans would have to be detained in order to use music which could be mastered by the “Freshmen”. Therefore the or¬ chestra was divided into two groups, the first, or veteran team, rehearsing Friday and the second team, Monday. On December 2, the Orchestra provided music for the English Club Play, and Dec. 14, played for an illustrated lecture in the school hall, and is now getting ready for the Graduation Program. We must not forget to mention the fact that the second team has im¬ proved rapidly and is close at the heels of the first team. The members are as follows: VETERAN ORCHESTRA PIANIST: Lura Marsh. VIOLINS: Alex Gelpe, Joseph Zimmerman, Mary Coggan, Gudrun Ekman, Ruth Potter, Hugh Sagrans, Bessie Sagrans, Pearl Ed- elston, Albert Rudman. VIOLA: Frances Silverman. FLUTE: Harry Greene. CLARINETS: Charles Hill, Jr., George McKenna, Leo Lawsine. SAXOPHONE: Kathryn Raher. HORN: Eleanor Miller. CORNETS: Louis Kalick, Irving Sherman. TROMBONE: C. A. Donley. DRUMS: Harry Slesinger. MONDAY ORCHESTRA PIANIST: George Varjebedian VIOLINS: Anna Mahoney, Max Tuttle, Henry Greenberg, Joseph Sugarman, Hyman Rudman, Joseph Lemmo, Myer Weiner, Carl Thoresen. VIOLA: Frances Silverman. CELLO: Evelyn Spraker. TRUMPET: John Raymond. TROMBONE: Leonard Mellen. BARITONE: Joseph Zimmerman. DRUMS: Douglass Cato. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND This organization was founded in 1924, under the leadership of Blanche Thompson, who was the solo trumpeter. In the midst of its struggles for recognition, it was taken over by Mr. Carl E. Taylor, who gradually built it up to its present position as an organization recognized by similar bands throughout New England. The band, at present, has about 40 members, led by the solo trumpeter, Louis Kalick. Under the instruction of Mr. Crowley it is steadily im¬ proving. This unit of the school is an attraction second only to the team at foot¬ ball games. It supports the school songs, plays during the periods and between the halves, and inspires the team and the cheerers. Every year the band goes to all the football games, whether at home or at Brockton, Haverhill, Manchester, and of course to Everett and Medford. But the band can act as an independent unit. Proof has been rendered of its musical ability at the Brockton Fair, the Boston Common, the Boston Arena, and before the people at the Y.M.C.A. conference which was held at the Malden Armory. Each of these appearances has brought praise for our band from men of musical ability. But, despite all these, even such a well grown organization cannot be a real success without more support and aid of the whole school, both teachers and pupils. The members are: LEADER: Louis Kalick PICCOLLO: H. Green CLARINETS: A. Rudman, C. Hill, F. McKenna, L. Lawsine, J. Sugar- man, S. Rudofsky, E. McCauley, B. Tobasky, H. Tarbox. ALTOS: E. Peterson, W. Bigelow, A. Jones, C. Thoresen. SAXOPHONES: E. Vencigecona, E. Klane, E. Morse, E. Rudin. CORNETS: L. Kalick, N. Wells, I. Sherman, D. Coggins, J. Chew, E. Hume, J. Minasian, J. Raymond, B. Shultz, M. Tuttle. BARITONES: J. Zimmerman, H. Sagrans. TROMBONES: C. Donby, L. Miller, J. Varjabedian, C. Lodie. TUBAS: J. Phinney, L. Greenblatt. SNARE DRUMS: J. Slesinger, D. Cato. DRUMS: R. Kaufman, G. Hartwell. BASS DRUM: A. Lamb. CYMBALS: W. Tesler. DRUM MAJOR: F. Stanton. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A Charlotte Keith “Skip” Balcomb “Dris” Potter Mary Harrison Charles Dolloff. Hymen Pockriss “Mij” Holbrook Lura Marsh “Midge” Wilkins THE MALDONIAN 1928-A FOOTBALL!! On August 30, 1927, some twenty-five healthy, tanned boys reported at Pearl St. Stadium, ready to begin what appeared to be a lean year in varsity football at Malden High. Among this group could be found only two veterans, around whom to mold a team. And yet, with as hard a schedule as any high school team ever faced, a bunch of scrappy, willing boys, inspired and bound together in as fine a spirit as ever pervaded any squad, absorbed enough football in eleven weeks to win seven games, tie two teams, and lose two. Great credit is due Coach Batch elder for train¬ ing a bunch of green boys into an organized machine that succeeded in de ■ feating Fitchburg, contender for the state title; Haverhill; and in tying its old rival, Medford, in three successive weeks. The record of the 1927 team will not always be remembered, but its spirit can never be forgotten. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A BASEBALL Coach Starr King’s 1927 baseball team played an exceedingly hard schedule, meeting the best teams in Massachusetts and several strong out-of-state teams. The team was led by a brilliant captain, Gaudette, and managed to get about an even break in games won and lost, which is about all that could be expected against such competition. The highlights were two 1-0 victories over Manchester, New Hampshire, and Haverhill, Massachusetts. Malden put up a splendid game against the state champ¬ ionship Norwood team, losing 10-6. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A TRACK The 1926 indoor and 1927 outdoor track team proved the old saying that “practice makes perfect.” After three years of building track material, Coach Batchelder found his reward in the most successful team in years. The indoor track team, composed mostly of veterans, compared favora ble with any team in the state, and had a very fruitful season, win¬ ning five out of six meets, losing only to the undefeated Lowell team at Lowell. The climax of the season was reached when Malden defeated its old rival Medford, 43-34, at the Malden Armory. The team placed sixth in the Andover inter-scholastics, among forty-five entrants. The outdoor team won four out of five meets and finished by placing in the Harvard and University of New Hampshire inter-scholastics. BASKETBALL Basketball in Malden High School was added this year to the growing roster of athletics. Mr. Edmund Goodreau was named coach and he re¬ ceived an enthusiastic response to his first call for candidates. After a careful process of elimination, twenty-four boys were chosen to make up the squad. Some very good material has been found, including Charlie Wettergreen of the graduating class. Mr. Goodreau does not expect a great deal of success this coming sea¬ son but is looking more to the future. Some of the best teams in the state are to appear on the schedule. Mr. Goodreau believes that the boys will learn more basketball and play a cleaner game if games are arranged with teams that are well versed in the game. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A GIRL’S BASKETBALL The girls’ basketball team of ’27 enjoyed a very successful year. Out of seven games, Malden captured five victories. The most notable game of the season was with Everett. Although Everett succeeded in carrying off a winning score of 36-30, both teams put forth such a good fight and fine team-work that it was unanimously voted the best game of the season. The next most important game was with Melrose. Malden brought home a victory, but it was worth more than a victory in that it was our only successful away-from-home game. This fact was partly due, perhaps, to the unfamiliarity of our team with large sized gymnasiums. The team of ’27 was captained by “Dot” Lewis and managed by Betty Alexander, both forwards on the varsity team. The rest of the line-up was as follows: guards, Marjorie Holbrook and Alice Murphy, side center, Lura Marsh (Edith Pierce), jump center, Grace Chivers. The Varsity Team of ’28 has not as yet been formed. However, some of the likely looking candidates are Betty Alexander, Helen Tingdahl, Marjorie Lewis, and Grace Ruben, forwards; Sarah Barber and Natalie Bicknell, centers; Barbara Hobbs, side center; Molly Shor and Lauretta Kelly, guards. A Basketball Tournament, the first to be tried in M. H. S., is well under way, the first match having been played off and resulting in a victory for the Sophomore Team against the second Junior Team, 30-28. We wish the best of success to the future teams of M. H. S. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A GIRLS’ TENNIS Under the supervision of Miss Whittum, the Girls’ Tennis Team of ’27 enjoyed a successful season, winning three out of its four matches. Outside matches were held with Brookline, Winchester, Melrose, and Winthrop, Malden winning all but the match with Winchester. The tournament brought out over forty girls, who competed for the cup. The cup for ’27 was won by Captain “Dot” Lewis who won the final match from Eleanor Lindabury (7-5) (6-3). The progress that tennis has made in M. H. S. is shown by her victory of (5-0) over her once dreaded opponent, Melrose. The team of ’27 was captained by “Dot” Lewis and managed by Betty Alexander. The team was as follows: Singles: 1st, Dorothy Lewis; 2nd, Eleanor Lindabury; 3rd, Velma Newman, ’27B. Doubles: 1st, Marjorie Holbrook and Eleanor Lewis; 2nd, Betty Alex¬ ander and Pauline Novick; 3rd, Clarice MacGranahan. All members of the team received letters. We who are about to leave M. H. S. wish the future tennis team a record as successful as the past team. GIRLS’ BOWLING Last year we started practicing at the Daylight Alleys, but through the kindness of Mr. Marshall we obtained the Malden Club Alleys, where we now bowl. Under the management of Dorothy Buck, and the captain, Lillian Geranium, last season besides being interesting, was quite successful as we won six matches out of ten. This year we have had no matches as yet but have plans for quite a number in the future. Gamma Sigma is to bowl us first, while our second match is with Alpha Mu. This season Betty Alexander is Captain and Lovisa Weeks, Manager. Our team so far is composed of: Barbara Lawton, Natalie Bicknell, Mar¬ jorie Wilkins, Ruth Potter, Betty Alexander and Lovisa Weeks. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A GIRLS’ SWIMMING The Girls’ Swimming Team of Malden High School is this year under the direction of Miss Laura Varnam of the Faculty. Miss Margaret Millard of the Boston School of Physical Education is the head coach, while Doris Potter and Barbara Estey assist. There is practice once a week at the Y.M.C.A. and under the able management of Marjorie Hill, the girls hope to have a busy season. The girls competing for diving honors are Clarice MacGranahan, Miriam Lonergan, and those in line for positions on the team are Barbara DeWolf, Evelyn Anderson, Doris Ellis, Ruth Potter, Mildred Wescott, Frances Roblie, Eunice Knollin, Marion Smith, Lura Marsh, Marjorie Wilkins, Frances Knowlton, Dorothy Smith, Eleanor Robinson, and Betty Patterson. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A KAPPA PHI The Alpha chapter of Kappa Phi was founded in Malden High School in 1902. There are now two hundred and twenty-five members, and four other chapters. This year, as always. Kappa Phi is to carry out her policy of having a few social events, and making each one a big success. Her annual ban¬ quet and dance this year is to be at Deer Cove Inn during the Christmas vacation and promises to be a success, as the alumnae and active members always enjoy renewing old acquaintances. This year we are again to co¬ operate with the other sororities in running the Inter-Sorority Dance which was such a universal success last year. Although omitted from our social calendar last year, we are planning the annual Frolic, which has always been an outstanding social event. Kappa Phi has always aimed at true cooperation with the other soror¬ ities and tries to justify her existence by proving that the supposed hatred and keen rivalry among these organizations has been replaced by real friendship among ourselves, and good will toward the others, and that the name sorority, which means sisterhood, is not inappropriate. Kappa Phi wishes to the graduating class the best of luck, both now and in the future. EN KA The En Ka sorority was founded twenty-three years ago by a small group of girls who wished to bind themselves more closely together in the ties of sisterhood. The sorority has grown in spirit and number with the years, until now its membership is two hundred and fifty. This year started off very well with an informal dance at the Win¬ chester Boat Club. In December, En Ka held her annual dance at Oak Manor. Plans are being made already for a banquet, at which the active and the honorary members will meet again. En Ka has been active in many other ways as well as socially. In past years, she has given many successful plays and also musical revues. She has always been as generous as possible in charitable ways and intends to continue as she has begun. All En Ka Seniors join in wishing that En Ka may prosper and grow better every year. All En Ka members join in wishing the class of 1928-A a prosperous and happy future. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A ECCE SIGNUM The Astria Chapter of Ecce Signum, although one of the younger sororities, has grown rapidly, and despite its short existence, claims its place because of its fine, sincere, sportsmanlike group of girls. Miss Dyer and Miss Ruston are the only matrons of a sorority in the high school. Through their companionship the members are advised and aided in their work. The annual banquet and dance, which was held last June in the Crystal Ballroom of Hotel Kenmore, plays a leading role in the life of each girl. Dances, bridge parties, and other social affairs are held frequently through the year for charitable purposes, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas offerings, and Red Cross relief. One of the outstanding affairs of the sorority this past year was “Mothers’ Night,” which was held at the Centre Methodist Church. Here th e mothers were entertained by their daughters, presented with cut roses, and given the opportunity to meet other mothers and the matrons. It is a recognized fact that if Ecce Signum attempts anything, it al¬ ways succeeds, owing to the wonderful cooperation of its members and its alumnae, who attend the meetings with the same enthusiasm as the high school group. KAI LUN SORORITY One of Kai Lun’s most successful years has just drawn to a close. De¬ spite the fact that Kai Lun is a comparatively small sorority, the sincerity and enthusiasm of the active members, and the interest of its alumnae, are great factors in accounting for its success. Although the members of this sorority do not devote all their time or energy to social activities, those which have been undertaken may be looked back upon with pride. During the past year the dansant at Oak Manor, the June Party at Weltman’s Conservatory, and the formal dance at the Hotel Vendome have disproved the proverb that “anticipation is greater than realization.” For no one could possibly hope for more in the way of social entertainment than was offered by these affairs. The sor¬ ority is now contemplating a formal dance in May, and the members are confident that the good fortune which has attended all their functions thus far will not fail them this time. Thanksgiving Eve witnessed another milestone in the history of the Kai Lun Sorority. On this evening, the Malden Chapter, with the co¬ operation of the Beta Chapter of Revere, commemorated the sixth anniver¬ sary of the Sorority with a banquet held at the Hotel Somerset. Kai Lun wishes the very best of luck to the members of the class of 1928-A. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A PHI DELTA PHI The Phi Delta Phi sorority, as we all know, has long been noted for its original ideas. It is celebrating its fifth anniversary with a series of events, the first of v hich was a masquerade, which took place December 16, 1927. As might be expected, it was a brilliant affair and proved very successful. For many years it has been celebrating its anniversaries by passing out blotters to pupils and teachers, with a picture and little appropriate verses on one side and the name Phi Delta Phi on the other. It is also planning a formal dance and banquet. A big “surprise” which is to take place shortly is also one of the events. It is a very original idea, and is something that has never been attempted by any other sorority or fraternity. Phi Delta Phi has formed bowling and hiking teams. Every Tuesday night the girls mee t at the Golden Alleys and spend a very enjoyable evening there. As to the hiking team, it is just as the name implies and needs no further explanation. But the best thing of all is the beautiful friendship that exists be¬ tween the girls. Perfect attendance at meetings is a common occurence. The girls are interested and eager to help in all affairs. However, Phi Delta Phi is not only a round of social activities. It is interested in charitable affairs and it has done much for various charities of Malden. Phi Delta Phi wishes the class of 1928-A success upon leaving their Alma Mater. OMICRON DELTA Alpha Chapter of Omicron Delta, one of the oldest fraternities in Malden High School, has just completed another successful year in its al¬ ready long existence. As usual, the biggest ideals of fraternalism have been inculcated in the fraternity and its members. Although we have many activities not connected with the school, we do all in our power to arrange these functions so as not to interfere with the school’s activities. O.D. was represented on the gridiron, as usual, by several of its mem¬ bers. Among those most active on Coach Batch’s squad were: John Baxter, Anthony Fernald, Prior Burning, Herbert Squires, and Charles Boehm. We are also well represented on the track team. The captain of the track team this year, Herbert Squires, is one of our active members. Under the new administration we have plans for future good times in 1928, and are looking forward to another year full of success and en¬ thusiasm. In closing, Omicron Delta wishes to express its earnest desire that all possible success shall follow each and every member of the class of 1928-A in their every venture in the outside world. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A GAMMA SIGMA Kappa chapter of Gamma Sigma International Fraternity has reached its thirtieth active year in Malden High School, and is the oldest fraternal organization in the school. Gamma Sigma has always been well repre¬ sented in all athletics, literary accomplishments, music, and all such in¬ ducements that Malden High School offers for the upbuilding of character and ability of its students. Last spring Gamma Sigma sent Brothers Gardner, Waring, Horne, and Beals to the annual convocation held in Amsterdam, New York. This year we are planning to send another delegation to Syracuse for the fifty- sixth annual convocation of our fraternity. Gamma Sigma’s New Year dance is always looked forward to with much pleasure, and all the social functions of the year sponsored by the fraternity are both social and financial successes. At this time. Kappa chapter of Gamma Sigma International Fraternity wish to extend their best wishes to the graduating class of Malden High School. We hope that from this great body of youth going forth into the world, there will be none who will not reach the pinnacle of success in their careers, and we also wish to extend to the undergraduates the challenge to uphold the doctrines and standards of all those who have ever passed through the portals of Malden High School. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA During the past semester, the Alpha Delta Sigma fraternity has been pre-eminent in the outside activities of Malden High School. This fall the fraternity was represented on the gridiron by Captain Charles Wettergreen, John Shannon, Owen Brown, and “Eddie” Stultz. It is also well represented by letter men in all of the other sports. This fall the Alpha Delta Sigma fraternity was honored by having Dale Jones, a member of the Malden High faculty and a football coach, join the brother¬ hood. On the twenty-eighth of October, a very successful Hallowe’en dance was held at the Malden Club. A colorful and merry New Year’s dance was held in conjunction with Gamma Sigma, and was a success in every way. Socially, a very interesting winter and spring schedule has been plan¬ ned. Arrangements have been made for a spring dance, an outing, and a banquet. THE MALDONIAN 1928-A UPSILON DELTA During the past year, the fourteenth of its existence, Upsilon Delta has enjoyed a most successful season. The annual banquet, an outing, and several successful dances have been held. In our achievements, we have striven to raise ourselves a little above the rank and file of school fraternities. We, Upsilon Delta, made it possible for the students of M. H. S. to enjoy an amusing and instructive lecture, given by “Joe” Pocantico on “The Indian”. Upsilon Delta in the past year has had the distinction of issueing a monthly publication called the “Bulletin”. It is of great interest and keeps our widely-scattered alumni ever close to us. Our active membership is limited to twenty-five and we lose several members by graduation. Every realm of student activity finds Upsilon Delta members partici¬ pants, the “Blue and Gold”, the “Maldonian”, athletics, dramatics, musical organizations, and debating teams. Added to this is the honor of the only male member of the original enrollment of the “John W. Hutchins Chapter of the National Honor Society” being a brother of our fraternity. We have always taken just pride in the scholastic standing of our members. It is the aim of Upsilon Delta to promote a true and lasting friendship among its members, and to manifest a true spirit of co-operation with our beloved Malden High School. SIGMA PHI Although it has only been in existence a little more than six years. Sigma Phi, has throughout shown its ability to maintain the high standards set by the Malden High Faculty in the wide field of education. Not only have its members striven to excel among the pupils of Malden High School along scholastic lines, but they have also more than held their own among social functions. It is with great pleasure that Sigma Phi takes this opportunity to ex¬ tend to the members of the graduating class its best wishes for a successful future, and to the Faculty its appreciation of their help. ALPHA MU When an organization, especially one of the fraternal sort, is founded, its charter members have in mind the objects, the deals, the standards which they wish their s ociety to attain. Sometimes their posterity “carry on” and fulfill the original purpose, and many times they do not. Alpha Mu is now in the sixth year of existence—a time long enough to see whether or no the original hopes will be consummated in the ultimate sense. We, its members, feel that although we have not reached our goal, we have gone a goodly way towards it. Moreover, provided that every man in the fraternity cooperates with his officials and with his fellow members, we feel that we can go still further towards that goal. Meanwhile, the password is “CARRY ON.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-A ALPHA ZETA PI Alpha Zeta Pi has just passed another milestone in its existence. Al¬ though Alpha Zeta Pi can boast of very few “satellites” either in schol¬ astics or athletics, as a whole, the frate rnity is very well represented in both. There is one feature of the fraternity that deserves special men¬ tion. That feature is the factor necessary to every brilliant scholar who hopes to become a success in later life. It is goodfellowship. By the method of restricting its membership to those who have the qualities essential to goodfellowship. Alpha Zeta Pi holds its position as a real fraternity, and not as a mere community club. It is the aim of every frater of Alpha Zeta Pi to uphold the principles that will make fhe fraternity an asset to M. H. S. FINALE Drop the curtain. The play is ended; The players are tired out And homeward wended. Shut the book, you are wearied; Leave your bookmark there. Press the rose and keep it. She wore it in her hair. Latch the gate, you’re wearied. The paths no more we stray. But if a longing shakes us, Memory knows the way. So Drop the curtain. —Sophie Wexler. ylb � i ■ ' ■ . i .■ .

We are accustomed to see classes come and go; to see careers moulded and shaped in the years of high school life; to see each class, upon its departure, inevitably publishing what we are pleased to call a “year book”. How little we have appreciated the true significance of that volume! We can understand now why that book was more precious “Yea, than much fine gold”. Its complete significance will just begin to dawn on us after years have passed and will serve to bring back forgotten memories, when tenderly, yes, reverently we will turn these yellowed pages and recall the extraordinary career of the class of ’28 B in Malden High School. We believe that the successful consummation of this task is an operose and delicate matter, and we question whether we are capable or worthy of it. We have tried our utmost, however, and in your hands you are holding the product of our labors. If, then, this book will serve to bring back fond memories of former times and faithful friends, the staff will consider its work well done, its purpose accomplished, and its task ended.

Crowley THE MALDONIAN 1928-B J tluiatortr Dependent America Louis Weiner The United States is at present enjoying an unprecedented position in international life. Our national debt is comparatively small; we are strong in resources; our ex¬ ports safely exceed our imports; our stan¬ dard of living is high; and our bankers con¬ trol the gold of the world. Under the circumstances it is but natural that many of our citizens should accept the situation as it appears on the surface, and that they should believe that the United States can very well manage to maintain her prosperity independently of the rest of the world. This attitude is one of the reasons advanced for our refusal to participate officially in many international movements. We see no need of cooperation that would cost us our apparent economic independence. A little careful study, however, proves the insecurity of this attitude. The United States has always been economically dependent. As early as 1807, conflict between our vessels and those of foreign countries compelled Congress to pass the Embargo Act which forbade our ships leaving our harbors for foreign ports. Our naval trade was then the backbone of our commercial life, and Congress was overwhelmed with protests from Amer¬ ican business men whose wealth was being undermined by cessation of for¬ eign intercourse. In fifteen months the act was repealed, but it had caused New England merchants alone a loss of eight million dollars. Although our first protective tariff was passed in 1816, it was not until after the Civil War that our domestic manufactures began to vie success¬ fully with foreign competitors in our own country. In only three years before 1876 had United States exports exceeded her imports. Before the Civil War it was foreign capital that had developed our resources. In 1839 Fresident Jackson estimated that about $200,000,000 which had been em¬ ployed in national improvement was owed by states and corporations to European creditors. The Civil War marked a new era in our economic life. Trusts and corporations sprang up; Big Business overshadowed Little Business. More recently, the World War boomed our industries tremendously. In short, so extensively have we developed that we are now the world’s foremost industrial and manufacturing nation. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Has complete economic independence accompanied great power? Are we finally self-sufficient? Can we afford to isolate ourselves from inter¬ national economic intercourse? No less dependent are we now in our greatness than we formerly were in our growth. The change in our situ¬ ation is only an apparent one. United States industry finds that, because of its remarkable expansion and the multiplying demands of the domestic consumer, our once plenteous resources must be complemented f rom foreign nations, and our capitalists have found it necessary to obtain concessions wherever possible in foreign countries, our foreign investments in 1927 totalling thirteen billion dollars. How tragically would our prosperity crash if we should isolate our¬ selves economically for only one year! Our pleasure automobiles would stand idle in their garages and our trucks would no longer transport their loads—, for we would have no rubber from which to make tires. Tea, coffee, cocoa, sugar, and bananas would no longer grace our tables. Our maids and matrons would have to go without soft silk garments. Since an enormous quantity of our wood pulp comes from Canada, our news¬ papers would be forced to reduce their size and frequency. Our wheat would lie ungathered in our fields, for the twine used in binding it is a pro¬ duct of Yucatan. Our supply of leather would be cut almost in half, and we would be obliged to do without many of our leather accessories. Shoes would become almost a luxury. Pearly whiteness of teeth would disap¬ pear—we would produce practically no bristle for tooth brushes. What would we substitute for the burlap that now comes from India? What would our greatest industry, steel, do without manganese, chromium, tin, nickel, and tungsten? Our printers would wrack their heads to discover some substance for antimony in making their type. War would find us totally unfit. Col. Harley B. Ferguson, corps of United States engineers, lists thirty strategic materials for war which we lack entirely, or of which we do not produce enough even for peace requirements. Then, too, the lack of these raw materials would effect the entire field of industry. Consider the multitude of people who would be deprived of their livelihood if these raw materials should never reach our shores. The rubber industry alone paid out two hundred and thirty one million dollars in wages in 1923. Think of the loss in revenue to our government. Imagine how prices of the most common articles would soar until they became the scarcest luxuries. Truly indeed, is the United States bound with all the other nations of the world in an economic league of nations which can be shattered only at the cost of bringing our mighty industries to a standstill and by under¬ mining our economic life and national prosperity. Not only is our inde¬ pendence manifest in those foreign resources which we import; it extends its tentacles into our foreign concessions and investment, our foreign loans, and our urgent necessity for foreign markets. To talk of complete national isolation is either unpardonable ignorance or shameful hypocrisy. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B President Coo lidge struck the keynote of our foreign relations and inter-dependence in his memorial day address at Gettysburg: “The world wide interests of the United States aside from the dictates of humanity make us view with peculiar disfavor not only any danger of being involved in war ourselves but any danger of war among other nations. Our invest¬ ments and trade relations are such that it is almost impossible to conceive of any conflict anywhere on earth which would not effect us injuriously. The one thing that we want above ail else for ourselves and for other nations is the continuance of peace. Whether so intended or not, any nations engaging in war would thereby necessarily be engaged in a course prejudicial to us.” The United States has already been described as economically depend¬ ent throughout her whole history. The future holds promise of still further augmenting our reliance on every nation. In view of our impera¬ tive foreign relations, it is highly desirable that we find some way of securing our necessities and our investments. We cannot always bully weak nations or war with powerful ones. Political disturbances in any country are detrimental to our interests. Our need of a stable, peaceful method of adjusting disputes is clearly an urgent one. The Permanent Court of International Justice was established for that express purpose, and its growing power and achievements are far more than justifying its existence. There are three courses open to the United States regarding this institution. She can maintain a pretext of isolation and absolutely refuse to join it; she can send unofficial delegates to it and enjoy most of its privileges without sharing the responsibility as she now does; or she can join it officially and sincerely. The first mode of procedure provides us with false safety without any insurance for emergency. The second is a hypocritical, cowardly policy. That, too, may leave us stranded at an inopportune time. The last course is the one honorable and secure method of securing our safety. To enter the Permanent Court of International Justice is a wise and logical guarantee of our prosperity. Shall we, the people of the United States, whose public opinion determines the policy of our nation, trust blindly to the future, or shall we embrace this opportunity to lay the foundations of a lasting and prosperous peace? THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Balehtrforg Growth of the Playground System in America Edith Grossman In this modern day there is ever-increas¬ ing activity centered in cities. This know¬ ledge is a factor in drawing more people into the city to live. During the Revolutionary Period 3% of the population lived in cities whereas at the present time about 60% of the population are city dwellers. What does this mean? It means that the child of yes¬ terday played in the open spaces of the coun¬ try village or on the farm, but the child of today has to look to the city streets for a place to play. And now, the child is being driven off the streets by traffic. Where shall he play? America must be aroused to the needs of the city child. No one will question the right of a child to play. Then no one ought to question the need to provide a place for him to play. The Greeks held their games as an integral part of religion and patriotism. In the medieval city the knights held their tourney, the trade-guilds their pageants. Only in the modern city have men concluded that it is no longer necessary for the municipality to provide for play. The beginning of the playground movement came to us from Germany, and was started in Boston in the late ’80’s. This came in the form of sand gardens for small children. The next step was the establishment of fully equipped playgrounds, in which were provisions not only for the small children but for older boys and girls as well.. The first such establishment was not called a playground, but was the Charles Bank Outdoor Gym¬ nasium opened in Boston. From these early institutions playgrounds increased slowly throughout the country. Due to the untiring efforts of the National Playground Association, we find that while thirteen years ago there weie only foity cities with playgrounds, now there are 790 communi¬ ties with supervised parks and playgrounds. Let us consider the nature of play. What is play ? For the child, it is life; it affords the opportunity for the exer cise of his creative powers. The play instinct is a universal motive for all children, and is essential for the growth and development of their intellectual life. Play is pr epai ation for life, and to understand it is to understand life. Cailyle said, Theie is a sheep-like tendency in mankind to flock together THE MALDONIAN 1928-B and to have a leader, and this tendency is first manifested in childhood.” The playground affords the child this opportunity for teamwork. The child learns on the playground the rights of others. He learns how to compete for advantage honestly. The language of the playground recognizes the ethical worth of play. How often do we hear the words, “play the game,” “fair play,” “good team-work,” “good sportsmanship.” These all mean something fine. Honor, sense of duty, self-control, and a strict regard for truth—these essentials of character—make play a valuable undertaking for a community. The playground is an excellent place in which to develop character. The child mind is plastic and imitative; his habits, his tastes, his values are moulded by his surroundings. Character is the product of properly guided activity. That which enlists a boy’s loyalty is not what you do for him, but what you get him to do for you. Participation in play also develops the motor qualities—the executive and administrative side of life. Activity satisfies the deep urge within every individual for action and accomplishment. To play in the sunlight is a child’s right. What he is cheated of it, it is not the child but the community that is robbed. In contrast to the child all the wealth of a community is but tinsel and trash, for men, not money make a country great. Joyless childhood does not make for sane and healthful manhood. Let us look at the other side of the matter. What happens when the child is deprived of his privilege to play? Court records show that the playless children make up the principal part of our prison population. Organized play is an effective preventive for juvenile wrong-doings. Latent criminality has no chance for development when boys and girls have an opportunity for clean play. Judge Lindsay, the well-known authority of juvenile courts has said, “It is no longer to be questioned that the best method of fighting crime is to begin where crime begins, and we must look for relief through measures that are preventive. The boy needs to be taught where fun ends and law begins. When he is taught, he becomes truthful, generous and honest.” Repeatedly this fact has been established. Let me cite one instance. In the industrial center of the southern part of New York State, juvenile delinquency has been reduced 96% in the course of five years because of the creation of parks and play¬ grounds. What is a factor in making a comparatively bright boy become a criminal? He is a criminal because our congested communities furnish him with an environment that makes a criminal career entertaining, ab¬ sorbing, and profitable. A change in his environment will stop his be¬ coming a criminal, and this will open up and make more alluring and interesting a law-abiding career. The greatest objection to playgrounds is the cost. But remember, a playground built today saves the building of a block of jails and hospitals tomorrow. Playgrounds are among our latest municipal developments, THE MALDONIAN 1928-B and it is these that always suffer most when a city sets out to become economical. We want economy. But can we afford it at the expense of citizenship? We all know that a boy does not suddenly attain citizenship as he reaches his twenty-first birthday. The characteristics are formed before the age of twelve. Democracy demands the best type of citizenship. The child of today is the citizen of tomorrow. Shall we economize at the ex¬ pense of the child? Listen to the sound advice of Jane Addams, “We may either smother the divine fire of youth or we may feed it. We may either stand staring as it sinks into a murky fire of crime and flares into an intermittent blaze of folly, or we may tend it into a lambent flame, with power to make clean and bright our dingy city streets.” VALE MEMBERS OF THE GRADUATING CLASS: The time has come when we must leave Malden High School. Never again will so many members of our class be assembled in one place. The future lies before us. It has been said that the young people are the hope of the world. Then it follows that upon us rests the obligation of doing all the good that we can do. Let us see that the children get a square deal. The nation must take care of its children. From that duty it cannot and shall not escape. As members of the Graduating Class going out from this school, to become within a few years the citizens of Malden, could we at this time make a finer resolve than that made by the men of old Athens when they were admitted into the Athenian Army: “We will fight for the ideals and sacred things of the city, both alone and with many. We will revere and obey the city’s laws and do our best to incite a like respect and reverence in thos e above us who are prone to annul or to set them at naught. We will strive unceasingly to quicken the public’s senses of civic duty. Thus, in all these ways we will transmit this city not only not less, but greater, better and more beautiful than it was transmitted to us.” CLASS OF 1928-B FAREWELL. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B dDraiton What Price Good Government? George Lodgen All democratic government is based up¬ on an ideal, the ideal of sincere service per¬ formed by honest and conscientious men. Such men, however, have not always been available to fill the many public offices of trust. Because of this, the true Utopian state of representative government has never been attained. At various times in the his¬ tory of our country men have been false to their trust, and the public faith has been shaken. Coincident with the great wave of low public morality that was sweep¬ ing the country after the Civil War, the first great political scandal oc¬ curred. Secretary of War Belknap was found guilty of appropriating immense sums of money for his own purposes, was ousted from office and punished. The second sensational breach of political trust was effected by “Boss” Tweed and his associates in New York in 1870. Here again public opinion was aroused to such a pitch that Tweed received a heavy fine and was sent to prison for twelve years. The transgressions of men in high political office did not stop there, however. After the world War another wave of crime swept across the nation which threatened to undermine all ideals and conceptions of public service that Americans as a Nation had cherished for so long. Warren G. Harding, always a staunch party man by reason of his obligations to the party machine, followed party precedent by giving important positions in his cabinet to those men who had aided materially or in other ways in his election. At that time the records of some of these men were known to be infamous; they were known to be political schemers who exerted them¬ selves where there was benefit for themselves. Yet, in spite of this, the principal characters of the so-called “Ohio gang” that had elected Harding were placed in responsible positions so that ultimately they were pulling the strings that moved the presidential marionette. Thus it came about that Albert B. Fall was named Secretary of the Interior; Denby, Secretary of the Navy; and Daugherty, Attorney General,—all three positions of the highest honor and utmost responsibility. The United States directly after the war, not knowing what other crises might arise, deemed it expedient to set aside for future use several THE MALDONIAN 1928-B large government-owned reservoirs of oil for government use exclusively. So it was that Navy Oil Reserve No. 1 and Navy Oil Reserve No. 3 were given directly into the tender care of Fall, Denby, and Daugherty when those gentlemen entered office. Immediately the Teapot began to brew. But the incomprehensible part of the whole situation is that influential men knew of the crooked affair and sat quietly and passively through it all. Mr. Coolidge, as Vice President, sat in the cabinet when the leases were granted to Sinclair and Doheny. Various Newspaper representatives were aware of the situation and if any dared to send a report back to the managing editor that report was most conveniently lost. The conjectures that were contained in these articles were later on established as facts. Mr. Fall and Mr. Denby, together with the judicial side of the cabinet as represented by Mr. Daugherty, for a certain corrupt consideration willingly and with deliberate intention, signed over oil reserves 1 and 3 to Messrs. Sinclair and Doheny. The situation burst upon the public, yet, such was the moral apathy that it found them only mildly interested. Where a question of right and wrong conduct on the part of government officials was concerned, very few troubled themselves. Their attention was aroused only by an investigation of Fall’s personal affairs to determine, whether or not, and how much, he had been paid for his part in the iniquitous transaction. Then the public assumed the righteously horror stricken and pietistic attitude, but alas, too late, the mischief was done. The ugly part of the affair was the outcome; despite the overwhelming weight of evidence produced by that valiant prosecutor, Senator Walsh of Montana, Sinclair was freed, completely exonerated. Recently I read of a man who received a term of imprisonment for stealing fifty dollars because he was actually in want. Contrast Sinclair’s case. He stole not fifty dollars, but nearer five million; not from one single individual, but from an entire nation, from 115,000,000 of people; not from dire necessity, but from greed for more; and today he is free while that other man who stole because he was hungry is serving his time. It makes one query: “This Justice, what is it; For whom is it?” The case has continually been before the eyes of the public for more than four years and every upright citizen has been sickened to see the whole affair become merely a battle between the keen wits of the pro¬ secuting and the defending attorneys instead of the real trial between right and wrong. In the midst of the inv estigations, we find that those men upon whom we have placed the burden of our trust have utterly de¬ ceived us. Their statements are proved unquestionably to be lies, as black and false as their actions. Needless to say, all this is having a very serious effect on the citizen morality of the nation. If the chief executive and his subalterns sin, in whom can we have faith? In whom can we place our trust? Our fondest illusions as to honesty and manliness in government are brutally shattered by the infamous deeds of those we have deemed above reproach. The THE MALDONIAN 1928-B natural tendency, then is for every honest man to become disgusted with the whole business of politics and to steer clear of any complications with it. The ultimate result of political infamy is discouraging to contemplate. It means a division of sentiment that should all be directed towards hon¬ esty in government; it means that America, the paragon of democracy must lose the respect and admiration of the nations; and worst of all, it means the loss of faith and furthermore the development of cynicism of the governed toward those in high office. Heaven forbid that such a thing should ever come to pass! America is still too young to lose her faith in men and government by men; her future is too brightly shining with the possibility of great achievements. Only our hope and boundless belief in the men who are coming, the men of tomorrow, remains. In this plea for uprightness in all who fill offices of trust and responsibility we can but echo the prayer of the poet: “God give us men. The time demands strong minds, great hearts, true faith, and willing hands; Men whom the lust of office does not kill; Men whom the spoils of office cannot buy; Men who possess an opinion 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.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-B ODnthttaitmt |kmtt Service Rebecca Hawley Ever down through all the ages men have heard a ringing challenge— Men have heard the call to service “Give your all in service. Go!” They have striven under hardships, barriers to goals seen dimly, Goals that seemed to be receding in the distance as they labor, Suffering and sacrificing their desires to noble service. Disappointments, ideals shattered, forcing some to quit the battle, Spurring some to glorious vict’ry, meet reward for dangers risked. Long ago did good Aeneas seek the site of Rome’s foundation; Richard, called the Lion-Hearted, nobly led his brave crusaders; Joan of Arc, inspired by Saints, gave to France her soul’s devotion. Willingly, without demur, waiving selfish aspiration, Men have answered to the challenge. “Give, your all in service. Go!” In this day and generation, men are striving still and serving, Spending lavishly their manhood, strong to aid their fellow-beings. These will be the honored heroes of the coming generations, Will be pointed out for service as high-minded men and noble. We who take our places in the race to run in Life’s relay, We who are to take the torch, guard it, and pass it on to others, We must welcome work and hardship, grow in strength of soul and body, We must strive and wait and labor, serving richly those who follow. In the future through the ages we shall answer to a challenge_ Hear you now the call to service? “Give your all in service. Go!” When the battle all is over and your life is nearly ended, When the scoie is plainly written on the books of Time’s accounting, When your record, dark or shining, stands before your eyes so clearly, Or commending or accusing, for your answer to the challenge, May you look back on this moment, heart and soul with memories crowded Living o’er, experiencing all your life in one short second, Glow with pride at your achievements, difficult, worth-while, and splendid Hear and answer to the challenge. “Give your all in service. Go!” THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Class Bar Oration George W. Ferguson My Children:— I noticed on arising from my place here, that a majority of you settled back in your chairs as though you were resigning your¬ selves to a period of suffering, to which you were reluctantly reconciled. Now, this is an abhorrent sight to any speaker, to say the least, but to me it was also an incentive. An incentive it was to bring to your atten¬ tion some things about this school, which it has taken this class four years to find out and which I propose to deliver to you in about four minutes. Thus en¬ lightened, you will be able at the close of this assembly to go immediately to senior home rooms, and with little instruction, to be graduated forth¬ with. Moreover, this advice is costing you nothing, while our unfortunate seniors are paying five dollars for it. A friend said to me recently, “The High School contains the queerest collection of humanity imaginable; but,” he added, “I’ll be blessed if I know which floor would take the cake.” I said I thought it was about even between them, except for the warped boards in the corridors on the second and third floors. “No”, he answered, “the first floor would have the advantage, since it contains the seniors, who are in themselves head liners.” Yet there is nothing slow about the crowd on the second floor, while those on the third floor are the fastest. (They have to be, since they have thrice the distance to go in the same time.) Their speed is especially noticeable at 7.59 in the morning. Now this set me thinking! I resolved instantly to acquaint you with some of the helpful facts concerning your school. Therefore let us look over the several floors of the building. The first object of note that looms up on every floor is John sweeping up the Wrigley and Hershey wrappers that some athlete was too weary to deposit in the waste basket. But on the first floor, wherever you may turn north, south, east or west, you see the members of the most note¬ worthy class in school, — the seniors. Take Arthur Baker, for instance. A fellow said to Arthur one day, “Arthur, why don’t you grow up like a tree?” Arthur replied, “I am like a tree.” Now we all know by Arthur’s marks that he is no wooden head, so the afore mentioned fellow said, “Indeed, in what respect are you like unto a tree?” “Well,” replied Arthur THE MALDONIAN 1928-B proudly, “I’m a chip of the old block.” There’s a bunch in our class just like that—smart, witty, up and coming. You can see them all right here. In this collection of humanity the faculty on the first floor are not a negligible quantity. First there’s Miss Abbott. She believes in those famous lines of Shakespeare, “All the world’s a stage and all the men and women but mere players,” at least that’s what we all thought at the faculty reception. Then there’s Miss Slattery, who, as we all know, is frightfully ignorant on politics; Miss Ireland, Miss Whittum and Miss Herrick,—all three addicted to the use of a dead language,—and believe me, it is dead, dead and should be buried. It’s old enough. Mr. Hall in 121 completes the first section, except when he’s hastening from one floor to another in an attempt to keep up with his classes. The second section is a hearty triumvirate,—the rulers of the mob, and here the fun begins. First comes Mr. Wilson. He loves to tease the freshmen, but some of them know him too well and realize to their sorrow, his playfulness. Only yesterday I overheard a freshman say to his friend, as they came out of Mr. Wilson’s office, “I never mind him, except when I have done something.” Next is Mr. Jenkins. You all know how he can cover, with that Harvard stride of his, the distance between the High School and the Athletic Field. And Mr. Nash! Do you know he’s a regular full sized western tornado at blowing you into a corner when you mispronounce ‘harass’ or some other embarrassing word. In the third section comes our future playwright, actor and philoso¬ pher, Mr. Bartlett. Mr. Jones does his shining on the diamond under shining skies, Miss Dyer who makes her living with her shorthand, and Miss Ruston, I’m glad to say is more up to date in her language than the Dead-languagists at the eastern end of the corridor. Now, on the second floor we encounter first a trio of French teachers,_ Miss Varnum, Miss Berton, and Miss Cooper. Miss Cooper has had a ter¬ rible time trying to get our class to distinguish between the gasping of her pupils and their actual usage of the preposition ‘a’. Then we have a trio of English teachers, Miss Gilman, who loves to puzzle out vague statements in class test, Miss Watts, leader of the class which will attempt, in vain no doubt, to fill our place, and Miss Peaslee who told a boy one recess to hasten to her home room, as the elevators at the west end of the building (as well as the electric lights in the corridor) had been out of commission ever since she had been a member of the faculty. Following these we have a tiio of History teachers,—Miss Dearborn, our worthy class adviser, Miss Dolliff, and Mr. Matthews, who is consider¬ ing, we are sure, writing a large volume entitled, “City Politics of Hmh School Boys.” Next we come to the library with its shelves of untouched books. This refers to the students; it does not refer to the librarian, Miss Child who keeps the whole place, books and all, free from dust by her sweeping statements. Moreover, because of the scarcity of pupils there, entrance may be gained by handing the librarian a silly old blue slip, which really THE MALDONIAN 1928-B doesn’t matter a straw as anyone going there can easily see. The slip is simply the record of the rare visits of the students and might be done away with if a few more came. Tucked away in a remote corner of this floor, where he can regulate the temperature to suit himself, there dwells a funny old fellow who teaches geometry to fine classes of “poor fish.” I like my class with him because I feel at liberty to leave the room promptly when the bell rings, and inci¬ dentally return promptly at 1.15. It was here one day that Donley asked Antonucci, if he had done his lesson of the previous night. “Sure” said Antonucci, “It was chicken”. “Did you get the guzzinta?” queried Donley. “The guzzinta? What in heavens name is the guzzinta?” “Oh, you know,—two goes into four, four goes into eight, etc.” But who is this fellow? Why, who could it be but Mr. Batchelder. Other celebrities on this floor include John Rood, who frequently lacks head room, (now don’t misunderstand me; I mean he finds difficulty in lo¬ cating space for his head when he stands up) Bob Lapidus, the Franco- Spanish tenor, and many other stars who are wending their way to fame. Time has dulled my memory. I can but vaguely recall the third floor, the freshmen’s paradise. There comes dimly to my mind echoes of x2 minus the quantity,—something about questions, then “ ’rase it”. Shaded figures of Silas Marner, The Ancient Mariner, force as a factor in work, H20, the fourth leg of the fly, credit, asset, liability,—all float as a cloud past my mind. And now our journey is nearly over and you are completely educated. There remain a few things yet untold, as, Mr. Bartlett delights in noise; the school hasn’t used striped ink for years, and the typewriting teachers are overjoyed when pupils from the physics laboratory use their room as an avenue of escape from tardiness. But, after all, experience is perhaps the best teacher. It has taught Mr. Bartlett’s home-room pupils to appreciate Wilson’s “Democracy of Today”. It has taught Catherine Riley that Muzzy is quite right in saying that the discovery of America was an accident. Catherine said the discovery of America was a mistake. Experience has taught every one I know of, except Bill Davis. But I think that Bill’s is forgetfulness. You see Bill is suposed to go from 111 to trigonometry the first period, but Frightfully forgetful as he is, he starts every day toward 113, and if it wasn’t for some accommodating young ladies down there I am sure he would never see the third floor. These ladies, one in particular, always put him on the right track. To Father Experience I commend you, with the advice I have already given you. Now my children, take heed—obey your parents, be kind to your teachers, and you shall some day shine on this platform, even as we do, but of course not so brilliantly. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Arthur Sinionds Freshmen? Oh yes, we were once. But we were much different from any other fresh¬ men that had ever entered Malden High School. We were so important that Mr. Jenkins required everyone’s autograph on that first day, Sept. 8, 1924, a date that every citizen of Malden well remembers. No ancient jokes about elevators or fifth floor home rooms fooled us. We were far too superior for that. School bags, long trousers, and self-confidence were much in evidence the first few days; the first and last, however, quickly disappeared. By the end of the first ranking period we were on equal footing with the Seniors, Class I and Class VIII holding first place on the honor roll. In December, after much competition, Louis Weiner was elected Freshman Editor of the Blue and Gold. After much hard work, and more or less study, we at last entered Class II. That semester our scholarship was so high that we headed the honor roll. Among other notable attainments the most notable in Class II was that George Lodgen’s name appeared in the Blue and Gold as Associate Editor. Then came our vacation. That meant ten weeks of freedom from all our trials. In September, as Sophomores, we came back to take up the leadership of the school again. Baggy trousers were the style that fall and our boys were right in style. Dominic Antonucci was so enveloped you could hardly find him among the folds. Early that semester we organized under the direction of Miss Dear¬ born, our Class Adviser. We selected Marshall Newcomb, President; Dorothea Thompson, Vice President; Rebecca Hawley, Secretary; and John Brookes, Treasurer. In Class IV our first play, “Miss Civilization”, was put on. The entire performance was one laugh after another, the greatest coming when Dwight Duke played the role of pie-eater. With him in the cast were Elizabeth Landin, George Lodgen, Louis Weiner, and Sidney Shepard. After the play everyone went to the gym for refreshments and dancing. On the diamond that spring we were well represented by George Trickey and “Nemo” Kerwin. After vacation both boys were on the football squad as were O’Leary and Velleman. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B At last we were truly grown up. The second floor home rooms do add to the importance of a class. That semester we elected as officers: George Lodgen, Janice Copeland, Rebecca Hawley, and Stanley Ames. We had another party, putting on “Jerry”, a clever one act comedy. The cast consisted of Elizabeth Landin, Hazel Moore, Sidney Shepard, and Arthur Simonds. After the play we went to the gym. Here the members of the stronger sex stood on the sidelines, glueing their heels to the wall and longing to dance with the lady of their choice as their more courageous comrades were doing. Here, too, the teachers were kept busy by the surprising attention shown them by some poor souls afraid of flunking. What a discovery we made when we were in Class VI! We found that we were rich! Since that time neither our treasurer nor adviser have had to worry about funds. Advisers of other classes, weep that you have not had the honor of advising our class. How much less gray hair you would have! We were well-represented that semester in various activities. Sara Winer upheld the honor of the girls in basketball. Our President, always on the job, took first prize in the Cog Prize Speaking Contest and then walked off a winner in the Colby College Speaking Contest. In the Girls’ Glee Club production, “The Japanese Girl,” Charlotte Solomont starred in the role of old maid. Our first public appearance was our march through the streets of Malden to the stadium on Field Day. What a colorful spectacle we made, arrayed in our colors, blue and white! Every one who was there will remember the distinctive and original features of Class VI. Yes, we won the banner, and demonstrated that there was quality in our class, if not quantity. We felt that we had earned our last summer vacation from Malden High School. We took it, some enjoying it so much that they decided to stay in school another year. Seniors at last! What a name to conjure with! We soon found, however, that it means “hard work”. Something in the name or its in¬ fluence added to Arthur Baker’s importance, for he claims that he increased one quarter of an inch in height. Although we were denied the privilege of viewing the rainbow, Prof. Graves furnished us with all the colors (in the form of a sweater) and a few new ones that even Mr. Smith can’t account for. We re-elected our officers, with the exception of Secretary—Dorothea Thompson was chosen for that office. When she left school, we elected Charlotte Solomont to fill her place. As seniors we were well-represented on the football squad, Boehm, Kerwin, McGranahan, O’Leary, Tricke y, and Velleman getting letters. In Class VII, we decided to make our reception the best ever given. We think we succeeded. We presented a snappy play, “The Little Bluffer,” starring Charlotte Solomont, Rebecca Hawley, Dorothea Thompson, Dwight Duke, and Sidney Shepard. As usual we adjourned to the gym, joined in a snake dance, and had a general good time. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Eight new members were installed in the National Honor Society at the close of the semester. Miss Margaret Slattery delivered the address, after which the song, “Follow the Gleam,” was sung. The new members were Philip Boothby, George Lodgen, Mary Mrose, Charlotte Solomont, John Staren, Dorothea Thompson, Louis Weiner, and Sara Winer. In Class VIII, no longer had the teachers any jurisdiction over us. For proof I quote Clara Gilman, who was addressing Mr. Batchelder, “I’m not arguing, I’m telling you something.” Yes, at last we were in a place to tell the teachers something, whether they believed it or not. The election of our Year Book Staff was the first important event. George Lodgen was chosen Editor-in-Chief; Charlotte Solomont and Dominic Antonucci, Associate Editors. The Young People’s Council of the First Baptist Church, on May 18, gave a reception in our honor. There, we started a race to fill our pro¬ grams with the autographs of our classmates. The stirring address, the wholesome entertainment, and the hearty good-will combined to furnish us an evening to be remembered. Soon afterwards the faculty announced the graduation parts: Louis Weiner, salutatorian; Edith Grossman, valedictorian; and George Lodgen, orator. On May 22, the Glee Clubs entertained the Senior Class with a faculty program. On the varied program Miss Child was announced as a Mezzo- Soprano. Who would have guessed it? We discovered, however, that we had unearthed Grand Opera talent. Our teachers showed us another side of their versatile characters, on Friday night, June 1. The program consisted of a piano solo by Miss Watts, a monologue by Miss Abbott, a play, “The Rehearsal”, by several members of the faculty, and a faculty chorus which rivaled our much praised Senior Chorus. The gala day in our history dawned bright and fair. On that great day, June 11, we had a vacation from school to go to Whalom Park. It took five busses to pack us in, and truly we were packed. Before dinner everyone looked the place over, and spent their money. Cameras were everywhere. If you don’t believe it, ask Miss Dearborn and Mr. Batchelder. After dinner the lake was dotted with boats and canoes. One of the girls tried to prove that her sex was not the weaker, at least in playing skee ball. She demonstrated her ability, under the direction of Miss Slattery. She succeeded—in shattering an electric light. To our dismay, we were instructed to leave at four. The trip home furnished many novel experiences, to say the least. And now Class Day has arrived, to be swiftly followed on Wednesday night by Graduation, when we shall receive our coveted diplomas. We hope our attainments will live on the annals of Malden High School. What concerns her, and what concerns us, most, however, is the future. Whatever we do, wherever we go, we hope the class of 1928-B will be worthy of Malden High. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B (Class ' jllruplti ' cy Slowly the light canoe glides over the placid waters of Whalom Pond, waters like a mirror in which the reflection of the moon seems a crystal ball. As we dreamily gaze at this magic sphere of moonlight beauty, we recall the happy day long since past when a hundred laughing boy and girl graduates of M. H. S. frolicked and played on the velvety green banks of this very lake. While watching this silvery circle, greatly resembling the crystal ball of the old Hindu, it brings to us our innermost thoughts and what is more it shows the destinies of our former class-mates. B. What is that? Why, it’s the familiar grin of dear old Dom Antonucci. And what is that blueprint in his hand? Say, it’s the plan for a new roller coaster at Canobie Lake Park. C. There is Harold Stone beside him and he is carrying his tools. I guess he’s just completed his masterpiece. He certainly did a good job, if I may judge by the looks of the structure. B. He must have climbed to great heights before he got through with this job. There is Benny Kramer touching up the rest of the cars. I guess the job must be done and Dom is only making sure of himself. Maybe that’s why he got such good marks in High. Carly Carlberg and Johnny Phinney, together as usual, are the first to dare the ride, and Bill Davis is already to start things humming as he always used to, especially in the 6th period English Class with Miss Child. C. Oh, the scene is fading. Do you think we shall see any more? Pd love to, for I have missed my old friends since we parted ways in ’28. B. But another scene is forming in this marvelous orb of light. C. Oh yes, I hope.Yes, we shall see more. Why, it’s a Night Club! What an elaborate electric sign that is! “NEW FRANCE’’ THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Why, Bernie, look we are going in! The hostess is at the door as we enter. She is wearing a gorgeous creation in red velvet which coincides with the sumptuous furnishings of the room. It’s Clara Gilman, and she is still up to her old tricks. She is laughing and flirting, but now it must be more profitable,—at least from a monetary point of view. B. That orchestra has several peppy members whom we knew back in Malden. That is Tommy O’Brien at the drums. He looks happy, doesn’t he? I think this is what used to make him sleep in his French and English classes. There’s Eddie Donley jazzing it up with his trombone. If he keeps it up the way he’s doing, it will come apart as it did at the assembly we had music week in Class Seven. ’Member? C. The entertainment is about to begin. Isn’t this perfectly heaven¬ ly? I do hope we know some of the performers. Here is the Master of Ceremonies, Sidney Shepard, and he says: The management has brought to you, at a great expense, The World Famous Shimmy Dancer “SHIMMY ROSENTHAL” Ah-ha, so that is the reason for the shaky nickname! The next number, Sid tells us, is to be a ballet specialty By ESTHER WEISMAN Assisted By The ESTHER WEISMAN GIRLS Don’t they dance beautifully together? They must have been in training since they left the “little red school.” This is to be followed by a soprano solo by: MISS MARGUERITE BARR The Silver-Throated Nightingale B. He’s introducing some apparently well-known entertainers. Why, it’s Elizabeth Kevorkian and her side kick, Marion MacCarthy. They seem to be popular with the crowd, don’t they? The scene has changed. I didn’t think they all would end up that way. Why, we’re in Symphony Hall. C. Yes, and isn’t that Joseph Zimmerman leading the orchestra? Just think, he got the foundation of his training from Mr. Crowley. I wonder if he knows about Joseph’s success? B. Malden is certainly well represented in this wonderful Symphony Oichestia. There s Pearl Edelston (She told me she was going to be a history teacher!) fiddling away with Augusta Gasman, and Gudrun Ekman as fii st iolins. I see Edith Grossman at the organ. She has gained her end. I hope that all the class is as fortunate. We’re shown the outside now and there’s a drug store over there. ISAAC SINGER Registered Pharmacist I wonder if he had to argue to get it as he did back in the English period. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B There’s a sign: “TRY TRICKEY’S TRUE TASTED TAFFY” Has it as many curves in it as he used to throw back at Pearl Street ? C. That other sign says: “We Sell Philip James’ Ice Cream Here Eat James’ Ice Cream and You’ll Eat Nothing Else” What is that new building across the street? It looks like an old ladies’ home, but I don’t see any old ladies around, do you? I will read that tablet over the door; maybe that will help us to decide. “Erected in memory of Napoleon III, my most beloved cat, died in the Year of Our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty-nine. Dedicated to aged and infirm cats of this country.” Founded—1940 .by Miss Sylvia Wolfe Sylvia ivould do something like that. How well I remember the day poor little Napoleon I died. She cried and cried and then had a very elaborate funeral for him which all the neighboring cats attended. Why, there’s Ly Barrows. Is he taking care of the grounds? Oh, no. He seems to be the “big boss”. (He always thought he was!) He is telling John Avjian what he wants done to the hedges. Helen Wolk is at the desk taking care of all those who wish to leave their pets at the home. The cat wagon has just driven up and Hubert Clements is driving it. So he, too, has become a lover of felines. Well, there is no accounting for tastes! Sarah Werlinsky and Ida Miller are taking the cats out and feed¬ ing them. Sylvia must be pretty well fixed financially to be able to pay all these people. Oh, a circus! Whose can it be? Baby, what a large one! That pennant: DANIELS, GOLDMAN GOLDSTEIN SISTERS “The Worlds Only Six Ring Circus” That must be Marion Daniels, Frances Goldman, Naomi and Ruth Goldstein. Well, Well, to think they have come to this! I wonder who keeps their books for them ? If they do it themselves they must have a circus keeping them in good form. Bernie, watch those lions in the first ring. They certainly look wild. That little girl is risking her life in that cage with them. She must have had a lot of training. B. Why, that’s Hazel Noyes, and I’ll tell the world she sure is fit for that job. I know she had plenty of experience taming lions in Maplewood. C. Let’s watch the trapeze performers. I’d hate to risk my life jumping around on those swinging sticks. They have more courage than I have. They are the “FLYING B’S” Mildred Baum, Victor Baer, and the famous Norwegian, Rebecca Brodsky. It’s the first time I’ve ever seen any of them up in the air. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B B. Look at that strong man over there. That looks like Eddie Aloysius McCarthy. Say, our class seems to have produced quite a group of circus performers, and yet, while I was there, it didn’t seem such a circus, especially the last two years. Look at that sign “GEORGE NOMISS REARDON” Champion Crack Shot of the World 10c a Peek He’s capitalizing the training he got as captain of our rifle team. C. Aren’t those clowns comical? They sure have funny makeups on, but nevertheless I think I can recognize Max Baden and Sticky Reed. Sticky was the only boy I knew at school who showed no partiality to any teacher—he raised Cain in every class. Who are those men selling peanuts, popgum, chewing corn, and candy ? B. That’s Shaughnessy and Weinstein. That’s the kind of a partner¬ ship that shows the old class spirit, am I right? Sure thing. C. Oh, look at that little girl at the top of the high ladder. She is going to dive! The drums are rolling. There she goes. What a beauti¬ ful dive! It’s Sara Belle Winer, the Girl Athlete of our class. Now I see why she swam so diligently at M. H. S.; she was laying the foundation for this career. B. Huh! There’s Catherine Riley riding a bareback horse . . . The picture moves outside . . . There’s a parade of women. That banner they’re carrying—well, what do you know about that? “WE DEMAND ABOLITION OF SPOONING ON BOSTON COMMON” Their leaders look familiar. Yes, it’s Betty Lundin and Florence Maclver. They sure are consistent in their desires. I wonder_who’s that little knot of young lad ies? Why, I can make out Ruth Dowden, Fizzle Moore, Margaret Moran, and Elsie Lounsbury. They all look de¬ termined to rid that classic spot of any such modern taint. There is a guilty-looking couple; still they look happy together. That’s Walter Emerson and Dot Dexter, “still hanging on.” C. There is Florence Goodwin Carrying a Slogan “SPOONING SHALL SUBSIDE” and behind her is Anna Meelia, Lena Danca, and Elizabeth Fital. I wish them success for their untiring efforts. They are all stopping and gathering around a man on a Soap Box. He looks familiar. Wait until he faces this way. Why it’s George Lodgen! So this is what he is doing with his great oratorical powers. And there is Louis Weiner on another box. They are still co-partners. Louis is lecturing while George rests his irritated throat. I wonder if they, of all people, can be accused of not practicing what they preach. B. Let’s go down to the Frog Pond. That quartet over there looks like a gathering of lawyers. I recognize Zeltzar, Staren, Stein, and Rudofsky. They seem to be arguing over some point of jurisdiction. They certainly do know how to use their hands! THE MALDONIAN 1928-B C. The crowd is dispersing and the scene is travelling. The corner of Tremont and Boylston Streets still looks the same, with a policeman, or is it a policewoman, in the traffic stand. Well, if it isn’t Anna Selsky! (This isn’t the first time I’ve seen her hold up traffic.) Who is that she has signalled to? It’s Alec Marcus. He looks like prosperity itself in that Roll ' s Royce. I don’t think he will get a tag, not if Anna recognizes him. B. We’re getting into the subway station at Boylston Street. That “change here” girl looks familiar. That’s Frances Chapman and I do hope she hasn’t changed quite so much in private life. Well, we are on the train, so it seems, and did you notice Carroll Libby driving this train coming into the station? We are in Everett Station already. Nobody seems to be getting off. I wonder where they think they are going? Look. “Beginning June 1, trains shall go through to Malden Square.” Signed: A. Arthur Baker, Pres. Elevated R. R. I can see the Pearl Street Grounds with the same old fence—but look! —a new Clubhouse. See that tablet. It reads: “Erected by the Field Corporation of Malden who realize the incon¬ venience and danger to health of waiting one half hour for a shower and struggling another hour to find sufficient clothes in which to go home.” Signed : Fred Francis Kerwin, Chm. Harvey Sinclair McGranahan James Joseph O’Leary Nathan Samuel Velleman And below that I read : “In appreciation of the earnest effort of the following women.” Marjorie Eibel Sylvia Rosenberg Dorothy Daly Ida Goldstein C. Just look at Pleasant Street. It certainly has changed. The Strand Theater is under new management. That sign says: “UNDER NEW MANAGEMENT” Sole Proprietor — Leonard Millen Manager — George Waterman Ferguson The feature this week is BECKY HAWLEY Starring As “CHARLIE’S BABY” She is supported by an all star cast including Gene Phyllides—the vamp, Margaret Jack—the innocent country maiden, and Geraldine Heap—the old maid aunt. They are also showing an Aileen Carroll Comedy, with Pinky Hepburn and Mary Toy. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B B. There’s a new Cigar Store. “Edward Macauley, Doctor of Nicotine” and there’s “The Coolest, Coziest Cream Parlor in Malden” Ah, we have a peep in there, and I can see “Dimps” Manning, and over there in the corner Marion Lear and Marjie Benson. C. What a lovely new Gown Shoppe! Proprietress — Christine Bates Designer — Madame Eva Paul Eva is carrying out the family tradition. Some people are never happy unless they are in business. Why, they have models of three types; the blond, the brunette, and the stylish stout. Sophie Waron is the blonde; Marion Friedman, the brunette; and Edith Deacon, the stylish stout. B. Isn’t that a new Millinery store? It’s a beautiful place. I guess you think it funny that I should notice a millinery shop, don’t you? I’ll tell you the reason. It wasn’t the store, it was the sign. Owner: Evelyn Jackson Assistants: Mae Satenstein Peggy Power Harriet Hopkins They must have a large trade to keep all four of them busy. There is Doris Schniederman, Doris Johns, and Gertrude Drake waiting on some customers. Our girls have clung together pretty well, and they are stay¬ ing close to home. C. Oh, I say, we have a new department store, and what a beauty! Isn’t this where the Mystic Theatre used to be? BOOTHBY AND AMES Malden’s Largest and Most Complete Department Store As we enter, we come to the umbrella department. Lillian Trout is the buyer. She always was expecting a rainy day. And over there in the ’kerchief department are Frances Baer and Anna Johnson. There is Evelyn Baxter in the stocking department, and Shirley Slabinsky super¬ vising the sale of shoes. Here we are in the food section. Isn’t that Charlotte Hurwitz selling “brownies?” I might say Brownies for the Brownie. Lilly Schlager is selling lollypops. She must be in her glory. Rebecca Wasserman would sell cakes, especially those with a lot of “goo” on the top. Here is the music department. Who is that girl playing the piano for the customer? It’s Doris Sanford and the customer is Helen Foster. She is looking for some music to sing at an assembly in her Alma Mater ' . The pupils will surely bless her, especially if a period is omitted. Who are these three girls? One is wearing white and the other two have the word “Information” on their arm. Well, well, the girl in white THE MALDONIAN 1928-B is Viola Keddie and she is the store nurse, and the other girls are Mary Spencer and Mary Lichenstein. B. What’s that great building towering above the bank? It can’t be a new High School! Well, this is indeed a pleasant surprise .... The scene is moving into the school. Look at that bronze tablet. “Mayor Janice May Copeland. Dedicated by: Arthur Daniel Simonds, Jr., Aldermanic Committee, John Augustus Moller, Chm., Guy Harold Phillips, George Phyllides, Phyllis Rae Mayo, Eleanor Mangene; School Committee, Mary Emma Mrose, Chm., Doris Vezina and Helen Holzworth. Architect; John Constantine Mazzone This school was erected as a result of the untiring effort and unsparing contribution of all those keen-sighted citizens of Malden who realize that to accomplish the undertaking, the benefactors must needs first be shown the worthiness of the benefitted.” The scenes are gone. The light grows suddenly brighter and gradu¬ ally fades away as the moon is hidden behind a cloud A light breeze blows and slowly and silently the canoe glides on over the tranquil pond. Noth¬ ing is left now but memories.

Having spent more time here than the majority of our brethren we felt eminently qualified to be authorities on what is and what is not in the school. Our vanity, then, was touched when we found that there were things that very few, if any, had ever observed. But in the chastisement of our minds we learned a lesson. We learned that any more of such articles were unnecessary and useless. There were others of us who suffered silently in Mr. Marsh’s solid geometry class using tomato cans and croquet balls for models. Here was something that everyone knew about. But in this instance the fact that it was so well known condemned it. A feeling arose that there should be better equipment in the school but that it was emphatically not the place of the graduating classes to get it. . What then to do with our money in purchasing a gift for the school ? Brains were wracked, suggestions were made, meetings were held. At last some one hit upon the brilliant idea of founding a scholarship fund. Here at last was found a worthy object, a definite purpose that will work by itself long after dust shall have covered any statuary or time wear away any geometry models. And always some student will derive benefit there¬ from. The Class of 28 B has shown unusual prudence and wisdom in pre¬ senting a gift to the school. Its choice, we believe, cannot be improved upon. This, in fact, is the opinion held by the class advisers of our suc¬ cessors who have declaied that they also will endeavor to present to the school upon the graduation of their classes, a fund of money for the Alumni Scholarship Fund. MARKS In every high school there are to be found those few individuals who have as a sole ambition, the desire to attain perfect marks in all subjects and have accordingly abandoned everything else for this mistaken idea , wor thy ' deal but unfortunately is maltreated by certain persons who think that it is the only worthy thing to be found in high school The person who most often attains this ideal is known by the prevalent term of ‘book-worm”, i. e., one who buries himself in books. There is moie tiuth than poetry in this. The book-worm is not reaping the full ad- f hooL , With a11 the clubs, organizations, literary socie- hv 4p«p at TV. etl( i 1 j eams ’ !t 1S a crime to neglect the opportunity afforded y i eSt t, T + 6 c u k s f nd organizations teach one to mingle, to speak before people, how to get along with people, while athletics build up body and morale. In the face of these, of what use is it to bury oneself in studTes THE MALDONIAN 1928-B and seclusion? We maintain that a person is far better off to get average grades, that is B’s or perhaps a C occasionally and take part in school affairs, combining business with pleasure, as it were. But these clubs and organizations, while affording pleasure, also will benefit the individual as much and even more than devotion to studies alone. While striving for marks don’t pass over the golden opportunities lying in your path. Go out for some athletic team, join some organization or club, take part in your school affairs and bear in mind always that to be successful in later life, you must first know how to deal with your fellow-men and how to get along with them. ON All things must ultimately come to an end and High school years are no exception. In fact, now that we look back upon them they seem to have passed all too rapidly. So much has been left undone that might have been successfully carried out; there is still so much to which we feel ourselves inevitably and unquestionably linked that at first it may be rather difficult to cast aside old ties and to create new ones. It is imperative, however that new relations, new friends, and new thoughts be created. But re¬ member that in all your life you will never find such true and sincere friendships as those you made in high school; such honest and open deal¬ ings. Cherish these memories above all else for they will be worth much to you in later years. Keep up the friendships you began here and they will bring you untold joy. Remember also the lessons of honor and up¬ rightness that High school taught you and Carry on, twenty eight B, carry on! THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Sentimentalists Louis Weiner Once upon a time when I was young and the world was new, when “seniortorial” dignity (if “senatorial”, why not “seniortorial” ?) had not yet cast my face and emotions into a Sphinx-like mold, and when “senior¬ torial” occupations had not yet thinned my hair and wrinkled my fore¬ head, I was sentimental. I confess it with closed eyes and with a blush —yea, sentimental. I had a lump in my throat, and a soft spot in my heart for everything and everybody. Now, hardened as I am to worldly deceit and wiles, I still have a little, microscopic, tender spot in my heart for sentimentalists. I am ashamed of it, but my shame has no effect. It is an eternal legacy from the time when I, too, was a sentimentalist. What has effected this change? What has ruthlessly altered a sym¬ pathetic personality to a scornful, doubting one? It is the world. Cold, aloof business men with sneering smiles; heartless teachers who assign geometry lessons and familiar essays to be prepared on sunny afternoons devoted to marbles in that ancient long ago; false best friends who laugh at sincere endeavors and who play heartless practical jokes; giggling girls in place of stately goddesses,—all these and many more have com¬ bined to drive romantic thoughts from my mind. But perhaps even these causes would have proved insufficient if there were thirty-six hours a day instead of twenty-four. Free from the neces¬ sity of having four individual and equally momentous tasks to perform at one and the same time, with their attendant worries and requirements, I might slip away somewhere to the Granada or the Strand, for example— and in that hallowed spot I might revel in passionate partings, and tender songs, and the hallowed love light of a woman’s eyes, or in the reunion of bosom friends after a century or so parting, or in other sentimental drivel. But afternoons occupied in completing physics experiments, or in earning vile money, are not conductive to chimerical dreams—no, not even spring afternoons, with college board examinations but a month or so away. And now I find that I have made a psychological discovery. Only children and old men are sentimental. The former look forward to what they think they can be—a pirate captain, a policeman, a professor, a piesident of the United States, a husband to Gloria Swanson or wife to John Gilbert—; they have no responsibility. Only illusions not yet become disillusions. Life stretches before them, beguiling, promising. They have everything to attain and nothing to lose. They have time for idleness and time for achievement. They can afford to be sentimental. Old men, on the other hand, look back to what might have been. They see familiar names on gravestones; they recall broken hopes; their disillusions are changing back to illusions. They live in the past, and they make it a roseate series of images. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B But youth (after childhood) and middle age have no time for such trash. They live in the glorious, immediate present. It is now or never with them. No time to look backward. The future depends on the present. Drive! Drive! Drive! Study! Study! “Procrastination is the Sloth of Time!” “Save Now for a Comfortable Old Age!” No time for reflection! No time for sentiment! They are in their prime; they have work to perform, and to stop and rest and romanticize is to fall by the wayside and fail. But sometimes these, too, relax. Sometimes they reminisce—on re¬ visiting old scenes, at reunion banquets. However, a tinge of contempt enters their thought. Why waste time in looking backward? They re¬ member old jokes with the grim shadow of the “Now” hovering over them. Such slips are occasional. At such times I want to make a confession. I am afraid I shall always like and envy sentimentalists even though I sneer at their dreams. They have created a beautiful world for themselves which we practical, hard-headed ones cannot see. The Success Family Gudrun Ekman Know the Success Family? The father of Success is Work; The mother of Success is Ambition; The oldest son is Common Sense; Some of the other boys are Perseverance, Honesty, Thoroughness, Foresight, Enthusiasm, and Co-operation. The oldest daughter is Character; Some of her sisters are Cheerfulness, Loyalty, Courtesy, Care, Economy, Sincerity and Harmony. Get well acquainted with the “old man” and you will be able to get along pretty well with the rest of the family. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Red Blood Phyllis Mayo The Grant College Seniors swayed and groaned in anxiety as they waved their red flags at the Juniors. The Girls’ 100 yard dash was to be the climax of the Field Day activities between the Juniors and the Seniors. The Seniors had two more points to get in order to win. They were betting hard, too, on that -run, for the Girls’ Track Team had become quite famous in this co-ed college. A signal was blown. They were six abreast. Off they flew. The white letter of a Junior girl’s sweater came to the front as she began to take the lead. Then, suddenly, a girl with a crimson ribbon bound about her coal- black hair, dangerously outstripped her opponent and took the Seniors off their feet in hilarious ecstacy. She made the ground. The tape was let down and Mineola Jones, breathless, her black eyes sparkling with excite¬ ment, stood among her companions. Don Wentworth broke through the crowd, saying to the champion, “Never failed us yet, Min.” Then turning to the red flags, he led the cheering: Min-e-ha-ha-ha, Min-e-ho-ho-ho, Min-e-o-la-la, A.Min Rah, rah, rah-rah, rah, rah-rah, rah, rah. “Min” smiled at this enthusiastic outburst and said teasingly, “It’ll be all right as long as I’m not “Min Gump.” She withdrew from the field soon and made her way to the Girls’ Club House. Gump was about as suitable a name for Mineola of the coal-black hair as Jones was. Yet Jones was rather typical American and Mineola was surely that. She was not, however, the modern American flapper blonde with baby blue eyes. Her type was that of the American Indian. She possessed Indian blood, red blood she called it, and she was more proud of that than any amount of aristocratic, blue blood. Mineola’s skin was deliciously tanned and she was as straight and lithe as an Indian runner. She loved to run because it was an accomplishment of the Indians. Indian folk-lore was her hobby and occasionally she submitted an original Indian fairy tale to a children’s magazine. “Min” donned a red sweater and navy blue skirt in the Club House and ran back to her dormitory. There in her room she twirled about and caught up an Indian doll which an old Indian guide had given her on one of her trips to the West. Heapbi race, Blue Moon. Someday I’ll run almost as well as you used to before you got so old and feeble.” This last with a wicked grin. en l ll become heap big Injun maid.” She laughed good-naturedly, showing white teeth that gleamed conspicuously because of the darkness ot her skm. Yes, Blue Moon I should be scalped for being a silly, old goose—letting my skm get so dark and keeping my hair so long, and even talking silly talk to a bunch of cloth Still I love your silly old face and I’ll stick to my Indian blood, my red blood.” If the Seniors who had cheered Mineola on to victory that afternoon could have seen her m this condition they would have told her to dry up! THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Mineola kept her hobby to herself and was, consequently, deemed a good sport and a keen runner and even the “best dancer.” Mineola picked up a scrap book and began to write. During her col¬ lege course she had been engaged in writing a novel. Through her constant research and sympathetic talks with the Indian guide, Mineola had set out to uphold the red men, for she knew how all the history books had under¬ estimated them. Mineola, in spite of her queer hobby, liked most of the college boys she met. And yet roadster sheiks did not particularly appeal to this young maid. She even decried an ideal of the beautiful prince on a pure, white steed. Instead, she vividly pictured a tall, black-haired, dark-complexioned fellow with blue eyes. In other words, she wanted one with Indian blood in his veins, a red blooded American. And as she never hoped to meet such a being she consoled herself with other things, occasionally a blonde but she endured him with cold disdain. The evening of the race a grand pow-wow was to be given to the win¬ ning class. It was to be in the form of a masquerade so the war couldn’t continue between the Juniors and the Seniors. Mineola was to be the guest of honor for her run had set the fate of the Seniors. As Mineola entered the gym her heart gave a leap of joy. The room had been converted into autumnal woods with startling splashes of the fall orange and red. A huge Indian summer moon, illuminated by electric bulbs, the only bright light in the scene, acted as a background for the orchestra, who were garbed as Injun braves. Mineola noted, with pleasure, several cute tepees hidden away in the corners, and canoes which were cleverly converted into resting places for tete-e-tetes. Mineola smiled to herself as she thought perhaps the Min-e-ha-ha-ha cheer had prompted the decorations. The guest of honor was dressed as Pocohontas. With her long tresses braided into two heavy strands and her costume heavily beaded and deco¬ rated with Indian symbols. The ancient Indian maiden surely lived again in the modern Indian maid. As soon as she appeared a masked group came to her side and escorted her to a seat of honor. The Junior President duly crowned her with a brightly colored Indian head-gear. After the coronation, the masquerade began in full swing. The evening’s fun had been progressing for about an hour when Mineola found herself dancing with a blonde. Her partner noted her high color, her shining, black eyes and wished most sincerely that this dark, fascinating girl would pay more attention to the blondes. Her dance was interrupted when two masculine figures approached. She recognized “Don” Wentworth’s voice as he said, “Pocohontas, I want you to meet John Smith.” They all laughed at the linking up of the two names. John Smith doffed his John Smith hat in recognition of the introduction and Mineola’s heart skipped a beat as she noticed that his hair was divinely black. When they began to dance, she made minute calculations of his tanned skin, (probably he had been a life guard during the summer), and his blue eyes that gleamed mysteriously behind his mask. “Perhaps you’ll laugh,” said the stranger, “but my name is really John Smith.” “Is it?” she said, unexpectedly serious. “I like the name for its as¬ sociation with the Indians. You see I’m proud of my colors,” and she THE MALDONIAN 1928-B touched her dress, “for I have some Indian blood in my veins, and I’m mighty proud of it.” She stopped suddenly for she knew she had betrayed her secret and probably to an unsympathetic listener. “You have Indian blood?” he asked eagerly. “I’ll shake hands on that, Miss Pocohontas. I also have inherited red blood and I consider it a prize inheritance. I wondered if that Indian symbol of a firefly on your dress was your own or just a fictitious one.” Her eyes shone at this reassurance. “Now I can tell you about the firefly with a little more ease,” she said shyly looking again at his dark skin. “It is the symbol that my great, great grandmother wore on her native dress. Friendship and faithfulness are woven into this Indian sign and the red firefly on the dark background represents a human lighting up the world by his good deeds. Her name was Meantiwona and she married a white man by the name of Jones, whom she rescued and nursed back to life during the French and Indian War. You see she was rather a firefly in the world of my parental ancestor.” Mr. John Smith had been closely watching the girl’s animated face as she told the lovely little story of her ancestor. He began, “My story isn’t as interesting as yours, Miss-er,”. enough, I guess. Jones and Smith”, she formed the words, “they are typical American names, aren’t they?” “Yes,” he answered with a twinkle in his eye, “only I don’t find any solace in the name of Smith when my friends become enraged looking through the John Smiths in the phone book.” The cymbal gave an abrupt crash and the dancers stopped. The room began to buzz with happy conversation. Shall we adjourn to the great open spaces?” her escort mimicked boyishly. “Yes, John Smith,” she replied and took his arm. There walking on the campus, Mineola learned he was a Forest Ranger who had been authorized by the government to choose two college students, who were desirous of practical experience in forestry. “But”, he continued, “I have spent a great deal of my spare time in writing, quite a bit on the Indian question.” “That is another point of interest, Mr. Smith, for I’m engaged in writing a novel on that subject. I shall attempt to publish it when I graduate and continue my research work.” “Perhaps we could help each other,” he said gently. With this last remark he unmasked and Mineola looked into the bluest eyes she had evei seen. His dark skin glowed and his black hair glistened but not with Slickum. She did not want him to become sentimental then, so she iust said “That will be great,” but her heart sang, “Red Blood.” They went back to the gym and became so engrossed with each other that they remained partners for the rest of the evening. „„ he1 ?, Johl J Smith left Mineola at her dormitory the two did not sav Goodbye ’, just “Good evening.” A yeai later two people sat before the fire in a large cabin in Colorado on a Forest Range, with the Indian doll between them. Two dark heads were bent over a book which had as its title “Red Blood” by Mr and Mrs John Smith.

Hutchins Chapter of the National Honor Society has successfully completed its first year. Although it is yet so young its influence is being widely felt through¬ out the school. It is a definite goal to strive for. It is something every¬ one aims at. And well they may, for it is certainly a goal worth reaching. Its four requirements, Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service, are those most important to any person in his life. We all know that without character man can be nothing. He can be of no value either to himself or to the rest of the world if he lacks this requisite. It is the ability to lead that advances some men higher in the world than others. Leadership is encouraged to bring out the quality that is a natural gift but must be developed in order to be useful. Scholarship is the first requirement. This Society helps to bring better results in this line. It gives an incentive other than marks to work for. It is a reward for patient toil. Service, something which much too often, goes without its due reward, is the final necessity. This organiza¬ tion gives, although it may be long after the service has been rendered, both an incentive and a reward for the patient toilers. May success follow it for years and years to come, and may we wish those departing members as much success in the outer world as they have achieved in their little school world. The Class of 1928-B had a roll-call of nine. They have recently organ¬ ized and have elected for their officers: president, George Lodgen; secretary, Charlotte Solomont; treasurer, Louis Weiner. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B THE BLUE AND GOLD The Blue and Gold is an unusual production. Each number is a mas¬ terpiece of current literature, containing material of interest to our “students” and our pupils alike. There are editorials for the intellectual, news for the co-eds, jokes for those who appreciate genuine humor, ro¬ mance for the lackadaisical, cartoons for men of few words, poems for the poetical and literary, and sport writeups to interest every one among us If there is anyone who does not believe the Blue and Gold, to be an un¬ usual production, let him investigate the processes employed to provide for its weekly publication. For instance, let him visit the staff on a Tuesday evening. Theie he will see proof-readers diligent in their search for errors. There are some who sit in silent contemplation, as though in expectation of some divine inspiration, which may produce a unique and remarkable headline. There are others who cut and paste and contemplate, and these the visitor would find, are “making up the paper.” There are countless other minute operations which require only the intelligent explanation of any staff member, to make them almost clear to the average student Judging from the comments we have received, both favorable and un¬ favorable, we are certain that the Blue and Gold is being more widelv read than ever before. At any rate, the Blue and Gold has just completed one of the most successful years of its existence. Its subscriptions have exceeded anv number ever attained before, and with the kind of work the staff even now are showing, the paper will always be as good (and on account of the old saying, There is always room for improvement”,) even better than it is today. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B COG Still another year of achievement has passed in the history of the Cognoscendi Causa Society. The officers of this semester, who have done so much to advance the standard of “Cog”, are as follows: President, Isa- dore Rosenblatt; Vice-President, Myer Rosenzweig; Secretary, John Carr; Treasurer, Bernard Cushman; Publicity Manager, Henry Greenberg; Exec¬ utive Board, George Lodgen, Louis Weiner, and Isaac Fishman. Despite the fact that it is one of the younger societies in the school, Cog has accomplished a great deal during its short existence. It con¬ ducts one of the biggest events of the school year, the now famous Cog Prize Speaking Contest. The two boy winners are sent to Colby to com¬ pete in the speaking contest there, and for the past three years, they have brought the fourth, third, and second prizes back to Malden. Since the primary purpose of Cog is to encourage and further the forensic arts, it has instituted the custom of presenting the Orator of the graduating class with a silver cup as a token of his ability. Another stepping-stone in the progress of this society was the forma¬ tion of the Triangular Debating League, sponsored by Cog. This league consists of Cog, Lit, and Usona; and Cog, the winner of the first debate with Usona, was to hold a debate with Lit. One unique feature of these debates is the admission of the public, free of charge. Just as many other societies have met their downfall because of a lack of interest and entertainment at the meetings, just so will Cog always con¬ tinue upward in its progress because of its interesting meetings and fine programs. This semester alone has seen Judge Davis, Mr. Hall and Mr. Smith of the faculty, as speakers at Cog meetings; a debate between a member of the Harvard Debating Team and a member of the Tech De¬ bating Team; and, above all, a fine address by Principal Galvin of the Lincoln Junior High School, who was so delighted by the Cog meeting that he invited the society to give one before an assembly of his school. Is it small wonder that so many boys are becoming members of Cog every semester and are fitting themselves for the work which will be theirs to carry on when the older members have left ? THE MALDONIAN 1928-B LIT The Malden High School Literary Society has enjoyed one of the most active and profitable administrations this semester of many in past years. This success has been a much wanted liniment for a society which the present student body would erroneously deem too “serious” in its ideals. Yet the successful fulfillment of these ideals has been an admirable step forward for all those who are so proud to say, “I’m a Lit man.” The administration, under the leadership of Donald Davis, the presi¬ dent of Lit, has many accomplishments to its credit. The Society has held many interesting and worthwhile meetings. Lit has effaced all debts inclined during the past administrations. A debating team was formed and one of the best plays in years was presented by the active members. And last—and best—was the successful publication of the Oracle in spite of much disagreeable opposition. This magazine received commendation from scores of past members, prominent citizens, and the five hundred readers of its pages. The successful officers of the past administration were as follows: Donald Davis, president; Lloyd Matson, vice-president; John Rood, sec¬ retary; Elton Merritt, treasurer; James Small, deputy; Edwin Paine publicity manager; Frank MacDonald and Charles MacNeil, Executive Council. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B USONA The Usona Society is leading a most successful fiftieth administration with the following officers: President, Marjorie Holmes; Vice-Pres¬ ident, Dorothy Dexter; Secretary, Eleanor Hirtle; Treasurer, Muriel Dineen; Publicity Manager, Ruth Knowlton; Deputy, Elizabeth Smith; Keeper of the Bulletin, Avanelle Proctor; Board of Directors, Barbara De Wolf, Marjorie Hill, Ruth Potter, Janice Copeland. At the first meeting of this semester Miss Pauline Watts gave a most interesting lecture on her travels in England and Scotland. Miss Martha Abbott delighted the society with the reading of “‘The Swan” by Franz Mona at one meeting. There have also been short stories, some being original ones. The Usona Society was defeated in the first tri-league debate, which was with the Cognoscendi Causa Society. The question was “Resolved: that capital punishment should be abolished.” Usona upheld the negative side of the question. Elizabeth Plummer, a Usona member, was chosen best speaker, while the other speakers were Dorothy Moses and Barbara De Wolf. Since this is the fiftieth administration Usona is planning to have a celebration. The membership of the society has been greatly enlarged this semes¬ ter, and every Usona girl whether new or old considers it the greatest of honors to be a member of this society. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLUB The Malden High School English Club is as yet a very young society. Plans, however, are well under way for a celebration meeting in honor of its third anniversary. When this annual meeting is over, plans will be immediately started for the play which the Club presents each year, so that it may be given in the early fall. This year will go down in the history of this society, and also of the school, as the initial one of the annual essay contest conducted by the English Club. The success of this is, of course, due to the splendid co¬ operation of the teachers, and the interest of the pupils. The winners this year, selected from classes 5, 6, 7, and 8, were William Holden of class seven, and Ralph Christiansen of class five. There will be such a contest held every year and we only hope that they will meet with similar success. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B LE CERCLE FRANCAIS “Le Cercle Francais” has enjoyed a most successful semester under the direction of Misses Cooper and Berton. The following officers have also contributed to the success of the semester—George Phyllides, president; Henry Greenberg, vice-president; Sarah Winer, secretary; Philip Gliserman, treasurer; Isadore Rosenblatt, publicity manager. A prize is to be awarded to the person who has the best work in French throughout his high school course. This prize is to be presented at the Class Day exercises. The club is to hold a meeting in the near future, and we feel sure that it will be as successful as those of the past have been in promoting the interest in French. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA THE MALDONIAN 1928-B MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL BAND In common with the various activities of the school, the band will soon close its fourth season. This has been an active period, marked by ever-increasing interest in the organization and decided progress. Soon after the band began work for the year, it accepted the invitation to play at the Brockton Fair. Soon after this, the foot-ball games began and it was a very busy season until Thanksgiving. With the graduation in February, the band lost several important play¬ ers but with its usual elasticity recovered, and demonstrated its musical ability at a very successful concert. The band at this concert was praised by many people of musical ability. A short time later, it had the opportun¬ ity of attending the Americanization Graduation. With the coming of the spring the active outdoor service started. On the first Sunday of Boys’ Week, the band gave a successful concert before the Morse Class at the Parish House. At this concert their work was lauded by Gov. Fuller. The following day, Monday, they played at the Belmont School for the Parent- Teachers Association of that school. Then came the Boys’ Week Parade, a remarkable event for the band, because at this time, the members re¬ ceived new caps, the long hoped for fore-runners of an improved uniform. At the invitation of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, the band helped them in their celebration of Memorial Day. This brought our season to a suc¬ cessful close for outdoor and indoor work. In the June graduation of 1928 class, the band loses several of its best players. Cedric Donley and Leonard Millen, our star trombonists, Joseph Zimmerman our first baritone player, and Jack Phinney our tuba player. The members of the band wish these members a very successful future in whatever life they enter. Malden High School Band Director . Mr. John W. Crowley Faculty Manager .Mr. Carl E.

Tesler THE MALDONIAN 1928-B BOYS’ GLEE CLUB The Boys’ Glee Club of Malden High is a comparatively old organiza¬ tion. This semester the club had the largest membership in its history. The purpose of the club is to furnish entertainment for its members and to train them musically. The latter purpose is well accomplished under the able tutilage of Miss Harriette M. Perkins. The officers for the semester were as follows: Arthur Simonds, Jr., President; Norman Greene, Vice-President; Fred Westcott, Secretary; and Bernard Graves, Treasurer. This year the Boys’ and Girls’ Glee Clubs combined to present a faculty program before the students, which was so much enjoyed by every one present that it was decided to conduct one every semester. Next year the club may enter the inter-State Glee Club Conclave at which event we wish them every possible success. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B GIRLS’ GLEE CLUB The Girls’ Glee Club has been a splendid success this year. What would be more natural under the skilled leadership of our instructor, Miss Perkins ? The increase in membership has been quite noticeable, and has mount¬ ed up until now the total is over thirty. The girls presented a fine program at the Home for Aged Folks twice during this semester. They were very much appreciated, and enjoyed doing it, of course, as every one likes to bring joy to those who find it hard to see a great deal of the finer things of life. The Club took part in the “Memorial Day” program, and sang an in¬ spiring patriotic number entitled, “March, Son of the Flag”. Several of the girls ushered at the “Joan of Arc Cantata” presented by the Chorus. The officers for this year were: President, Helen Foster; Vice Presi¬ dent, Mildred Westcott; Secretary, Winifred Rolfe; Treasurer, Mary Mrose; Librarian, Miriam Shackford; Entertainment, Jeannette Klickstein; Bulletin, Marion Gillis; Voice, Shirley Hodge; Pianist, Ruth Elliott; Pub¬ licity Manager, Ruth Winched. Much credit is due Ruth Elliott for her help. She has been to every rehearsal, and has been willing to play as often, and to repeat as often, as has been necessary.

HILL, Jr. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B THE SARGENT ART CLUB The Saigent Art Club was introduced into the school just three semesters ago for the purpose of furthering the interests of the art students and those who are interested in art. After much thought and consideration the club finally chose the title of the Sargent Art Club, in memory of John Singer Sargent, America’s greatest portrait painter. The club has been given the privilege of using the spare room on the fourth floor, better known as the studio , in which to hold their meetings every Tuesday afternoon. These weekly meetings have been very interesting to all who attended. . The work whi ch has been done during this last semester has been divided under two specific headings, class work and individual work That work taken in class was mostly sketching, while the work taken individual¬ ly was more varied, such as painting scarfs and handkerchiefs, leather pocketbooks, pen and ink sketchings, charcoal drawings, and water color paintings. Most of the attempts have been very successful. The members attended various art exhibits both in Malden and Boston and now, during is last semester, the art department of the school has put on an exhibition The officers of the third administration are as follows: Abraham Kaufman, President; Marjorie Benson, Secretary; Lena Danca, Treasurer- TtwT Fo f er ’ Publlclt y Manager. Although this club is but a young club m the school it has received a good start and will continue to grow as time goes on. 6 Miss Lyon is the honorary member and faithful adviser of the club. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Sororities anil fraternities ECCE SIGNUM The Astria Chapter of Ecce Signum, although one of the younger sororities, has grown rapidly, and despite its short ex¬ istence, claims its place because of its fine, sincere, sportsmanlike group of girls. Through the companionship of Miss Dyer and Miss Rustin, ma¬ trons of the sorority, the mem¬ bers are advised and aided in their work. The annual banquet and dance, which was held March 31, in the ballroom of the University Club, played a leading role in the life of each girl. Dances, bridge par¬ ties, and other social affairs are held frequently throughout the year. A part of these proceeds are used for charity, such as Thanksgiving and Christmas of¬ ferings, and Red Cross Relief. It is a recognized fact that if Ecce Signum attempts anything it always succeeds, owing to the wonderful cooperation of its members and its alumnae, the latter attending the meetings with the same enthusiasm as the high school group. The Ecce Signum Sorority wishes the very best of luck to the members of the class of 1928- B. KAI LUN One of the most successful se¬ mesters in the history of the Kai Lun Sorority has just drawn to ci cloSG. The affair of this period was a formal dance, attended by up¬ wards of seventy-five couples, held, in conjunction with the Beta Chapter at Revere, at the Copley Plaza Hotel. Kai Lun is affiliated with the Panadelphic Council which does extensive charity work, besides engaging in social undertakings. Kai Lun extends its most sin¬ cere wishes that graduates of the Class of 1928-B may meet with all success in the future. KAPPA PHI Kappa Phi has its twenty- sixth anniversary this year. It has had a prosperous year with a banquet last fall and several bridges this spring. It has com¬ bined with the sororities En Ka, Ecce Signum, and Pi Phi in the annual “Inter-Sorority Carni¬ val”. The work of Kappa Phi does not stop with the “Inter- Sorority”, however, but tends to make the year a fine one from beginning to end. Kappa Phi greatly approves the bond of friendship between the sororities, which is promoted by the combination dance. The friendship merely of girls in your own sorority is a foolish mistake. Best wishes Kappa Phi ex¬ tends with best of luck in the future to the class of 1928-B. Bon voyage! PHI DELTA PHI Alpha Chapter of Phi Delta Phi Sorority has closed its fifth season with both praiseworthy and phenomenal events. The sorority has retained the custom of setting aside the second week in May as its anniversary week, and needless to say, the week of its fifth anniversary was one which could hardly be surpassed. As a finale to its fifth season, Phi Delta Phi held an attractive dinner dance in the Egyptian room of the Brunswick. Although Phi Delta Phi does not admit many new members during the year, its ideals and expectations are realized through the fortunate few who are taken in bi-annually. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B Phi Delta Phi wishes both her graduates and members of class 1928 B the acme of success. SIGMA PHI The Alpha Chapter of the Sig¬ ma Phi Sorority will celebrate its seventh birthday in June. During those years, several dances have been given by the sorority, all of which have been very successful. Its work has not been purely social either, as it has organized two other chapters, besides tak¬ ing an active part in bowling and debating. The aim of Sigma Phi is to promote a true and everlasting friendship among all of its mem¬ bers, who wish the graduating class a prosperous and happy future. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA Alpha Delta Sigma has just completed its twenty-first and most successful year in the Mal¬ den High School. During the past semester A. D. S. has been preeminent in the outside curricula activities of the school. We have the hon¬ or of having a member of the John W. Hutchins chapter of the National Honor Society in the fraternity. During the past year A. D. S. had the singular honor of having seven varsity letters awarded to its members. On April seventeenth we held our annual dance at the High¬ land Club, a colorful and enjoy¬ able affair. In June we held our outing and a little later, our annual banquet. Tau chapter will send a representative to the thirty-eighth convention of Al¬ pha Delta Sigma to be held in August at New Britain, Connec¬ ticut. In closing, the brotherhood wishes the class of 1928-B a most prosperous and happy fu¬ ture. ALPHA MU Alpha Mu has completed a very successful year, both fra¬ ternally and socially. The mem¬ bership has been greatly in¬ creased, and the bond of friend¬ ship has been strengthened. Two chapters have been added to the roll, one in Rindge Tech and one in Everett. A chapter is in the process of formation at Salem. The social season has also been very successful. On December 29, Malden Chapter ran a Dance at Oak Manor. Then, on the 22nd of February, the annual dance with Beta Chapter was held at Somerville. Shortly after school closed, the annual outing was held. The three men in the gradua¬ ting class who wear the Alpha Mu shield are all prominent members of the class. George Lodgen is president of the class, Editor-in-c hief of the year book, and has been Editor-in-chief of the Blue and Gold. Louis Weiner has been presi¬ dent of Cog, business manager of the year book, salutatorian of the class. Reuben Weiner has been prom¬ inent in track and football. Alpha Mu wishes the class of ’28-B the best of luck and suc¬ cess in whatever they may undertake. ALPHA ZETA PI Alpha Zeta Pi fraternity pro¬ motes mutual fellowship among its members, as well as a spirit of friendliness, and establishes a strong bond that lingers throughout life. It strives to help its members to develop into better and more useful men. Sportmanship is one of the i- deals of Alpha Zeta Pi. This is well shown by the number of Alpha Zeta Pi members promi¬ nent in athletics. We have also, to the best of our ability, main- THE MALDONIAN 1928-B tained a high standard o f scholarship. To our credit, it may be further said, that we have created that true fraternal spirit, brotherly companionship, and love, which is the peak of endeavor among all fraternities. Alpha Zeta Pi wishes the class of 1928-B the best of luck after it leaves M. H. S. OMICRON DELTA The Alpha Chapter of Omi- cron Delta, one of the oldest fra¬ ternities of the school, has just completed another successful year of its already long exis¬ tence. Omicron Delta was represent¬ ed on the diamond by Charles Boehm whose all around playing has helped strengthen the team. In closing, Omicron Delta wishes to express its earnest hope that all possible success will follow each member of the class of 1928-B in their every venture in the outside world. UPSILON DELTA The Upsilon Delta Fraternity, after having had a most success¬ ful year is about to engage in another. In the past semester the fra¬ ternity was most active, hold¬ ing a gala dance at the Melrose Highlands Club in November, the greatest success yet attained, running a concert by the Co¬ lonial entertainers at the High School, holding an annual ban¬ quet at the Malden Club in Feb¬ ruary, and organizing a bowling and a hockey team—the former of which met with brilliant suc¬ cess. There are also plans formed for an annual outing in June which promises to be most successful. The fraternity is best repre¬ sented by our “Boy Mayor” or Chas. S. J. MacNeil, Jr. who proved most brilliant and cap¬ able on the Blue and Gold Staff. He is backed by a legislature of wisdom, of which George Trick- ey is Alderman of Ward 5. In the football field Bill Ryan and George Trickey were promi¬ nent while George also played from the mound on the diamond. As mermen Chas. MacNeil and Warren Thackeray both shine, Warren being the holder of the “Y” record. The Fraternity sincerely wish¬ es the Class of 1928 B the best of luck and success in school and out. KAPPA ALPHA PI The Gamma Phi Chapter has just completed a most suc¬ cessful and prosperous year, both socially and scholastically. The Malden Chapter, founded eleven years ago by a group of earnest boys with high ideals, has increased and prospered tremendously in this short time due to the co-operation, zeal, and friendly spirit of its members. This past year Kappa Alpha Pi has conducted two successful dances, both at the Malden Club. It also co-operated this spring with the Gamma Alpha Chapter of Somerville in staging a most successful musical show and re¬ vue. The fraternity closed its year socially with the annual banquet at Sauntaug in June. The fraternity also plans to send two members to the national conclave at Portland, Oregon this summer. Scholastically, Kappa Alpha Pi may well be proud. Many of its members are prominent in school affairs and other organi¬ zations, while no less than ten of its active members were on var¬ sity teams this past year.. Kappa Alpha Pi maintains a high de¬ gree of scholarship and tries at all times to co-operate with the high school and the students. ' THE MALDONIAN 1928-B FOOTBALL On August 30, 1927, Coach Batchelder began his football practice with a squad of twenty-five boys, two of whom were veterans. Although little was expected from such a group of inexperienced men, Coach “Batch” developed a team that succeeded in defeating Fitchburg, contender for the state title, Haverhill, always a strong team, and in tying its old rival Medford. This is a record, considering the circumstances, to be proud of, and it was only the spirit of the 1927 team that enabled it to accomplish what it did. In reference to the squad Coach Batchelder says, “The 1927 squad has been the most unified and best spirited of any squad I have ever coached and has been led by a splendid captain, Charles 0. Wettergreen.” Our captai n explains, “The record of the 1927 team will not always be remembered but its spirit will never be forgotten.” THE MALDONIAN 1928-B BASEBALL - The season started with Captain Kerwin, De Perrio, O’Leary, Boehm, and Trickey of last year, as a nucleus for a team. Last year’s second team contributed Joe Freshman and Paul Keenan, and practically all the re¬ maining members of the team were recruited from the lower classes. Battery weakness has been responsible for loss of some games and in¬ ability to hit when hits were needed accounted for close defeats in other instances. Defensively there has been little to criticize. The season has developed into a building program for the future. At least eight players have had experience this year that will be available for two years to come. Five more will return another year. The season has been an example of the age-old adage that there is little difference be¬ tween success and failure in baseball. There has been a fine spirit among the boys and every effort has been put forth to win games, and our opponents have been called upon to put their best team on the field without exception. For a schoolboy team, the games played have been creditable and the effort put forth, worthy of more reward than will be given. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B a 1 1 1 i J THE MALDONIAN 1928-B BOYS’ TENNIS This year, on account of the growing interest in tennis, a league has been formed consisting of the schools of greater Boston. The Blue and Gold representatives entered this league and considering the few who came out for the team they have been fairly successful. The team practices almost every afternoon on the Woodland tennis courts, which the school hires. The ranking players this year are Green¬ berg, James, Wells (captain), Shannon, Stacy. Alternates; Greene, Carr, and Hogg. BOYS’ BASKETBALL At last the important Western sport has been started in Malden High. About sixty fellows responded to Coach Goodreau’s call, and out of this group were selected two smaller ones of twelve each. With these twenty- four men the coach attempted the impossible. Judging by the record of victories and defeats, it would seem that the Blue and Gold had had an unsuccessful season; instead Coach Goodreau has been laying the founda¬ tion and developing the material for a fine team next season. It is well to remember in connection with the record of the 1928 Basketball team that “Rome was not built in a day!” BOYS’ SWIMMING On November 15, 1927, forty three candidates responded to Captain Earl Cefrey’s call for mermen. On March 10, 1928, when the season closed, one third of this number remained and ten of these had won letters. The team had a very successful season winning the major portion of their meets. Several outside contests were held, one at Phillips Exeter Academy, New Hampshire, another at Gardner, Massachusetts, and a num¬ ber at Boston. Since only two members of the 1928 team will be graduated from the High School in June, it is expected that the 1929 team will certainly be successful in its schedule. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B TRACK A group of forty boys reported at the Pearl Street Stadium for the outdoor track season of 1928. But hard work and strenuous practice soon caused about half of these to drop out. However, this group of twenty faithful boys went through a season that would be a credit to any school considering the number of years Malden has participated in track The first meet at Melrose fell to Malden, much to the surprise of all track followers. Concord has ever proved too strong in a duel meet although Malden far outclassed her in the State Meet. Next, Malden conquered Everett, an old foe, but both Medford and Quincy proved their superiority in the next two meets. In the previous indoor season the average was better, Malden winning thiee out of five meets, Medford and Noble and Greenough being the only victors. The latter meet was not decided until the last event. Malden has only been in track a few seasons, and for that time has made a worthy showing in the State Meets. In 1927 we took eighth place in Class B but this year we took second, Capt. Gliserman being the high point scorer. Concord, Quincy, Lexington, and Haverhill all competed in class B. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL RIFLE CLUB Last June the Rifle Club elected the following officers for the year 1927-1928: George Reardon, President; Mr. Taylor, Secretary-Treasurer; David Storey, Range Officer. This spring Reardon was further honored by being elected captain of the Rifle Team. The first defeat in the Rifle Club’s history of two years came April 25, when the Wentworth Institute Team vanquished our representatives by 15 points. In the bi-monthly matches of the N. R. A., with which Malden High is affiliated, our team has usually been among the leaders of class “B” and a few times it has even been up among the leaders of class “A”. The Club did very little outdoor shooting last year and had no outdoor matches. But this year it hopes to hold several meets and incidently annex a few outdoor matches as it is in the habit of doing indoors. Several new members of the Rifle Club have shown great promise of becoming distinguished riflemen before they leave High School. Some of the boys who are likely to earn the highest honor which the N. R. A. can confer are Richard George Clements, Harrison Crane, and Earl Dickie. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B THE MALDONIAN 1928-B GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The basketball season of 1928 has been one of the most successful years for Malden High. The team was ably managed by Pauline Thomp¬ son. Under the leadership of Captain Betty Alexander, our girls won every game of the season with the exception of two. In these two games, both of which were played away from home, Reading and Somerville were the victors. The outstanding games of the season were those with Swampscott. In both the game played in their gym and the return game in our gym, Malden finished just two points in the lead. The score speaks for itself. Swampscott was a team which had been defeated once in five years—until it met Malden. There is a fine spirit of cooperation among the girls in our gym. The coach, Mrs. Tyack, and our own Miss Watkins have done excellent work with the girls, and the team is expected to do exceptionally well next season. GIRLS’ SWIMMING The Girls’ Swimming Team of 1928 is under the direction of Miss Laura Varnum of the Faculty and is coached by Miss Millard of the Boston School of Physical Education. The captain is Evelyn Anderson, and manager is Marjorie Hill. Practice is held every Thursday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. The first meet was held with Brookline and, unfortunately, it was a loss for Malden. The girls have worked very faithfully and may attribute this loss to the fact that it was their first meet. We who are leaving M. H. S. wish the future swimming teams of Malden High great success in their coming seasons. GIRLS’ BOWLING The Girls’ Bowling Team of 1928 has completed a very successful season. Betty Alexander of athletic fame, was the captain of the team. The manager, Lovisa Weeks, was extremely successful in obtaining matches with some of the fraternities of Malden High and the girls proved them¬ selves able rivals. The fraternities with which the girls had the pleasure of competing were Gamma Sigma, Alpha Mu, and Upsilon Delta. Matches were also held with the De Molay Seconds, the Sabean Class, Burdett Col¬ lege, and Woodward Institute. The girls appreciate the aid of Miss Whittum, who has kindly given up much of her time to them and through whose efforts interest in bowling is increasing. We wish Captain Betty Alexander and her team great suc¬ cess. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM The tennis team of 1928, has completed a successful season. The team was under the direction of Miss Whittum of the faculty and under the management of Natalie Bicknell. Betty Alexander was elected captain for the 1928 season. The schedule for the entire season was as follows: May 14 Brookline at Brookline May 16 Winthrop at Malden May 18 Manchester at Malden May 23 Melrose at Melrose May 25 Winchester at Winchester June 6 Melrose at Malden June 8 Manchester at Manchester June 15 Winthrop at Winthrop M H S ANNOUNCING LATEST NEWS REPORTS OF CLASS 28B Marooertte. Ba-cr BOYS’ WEEK For the past few years the Rotary Club of Malden has been conducting a “Boys’ Week” during which every phase of interest in a young man’s life is thoroughly taken up and put before him in an attractive way. Sunday of the week is “Boys’ day in religion”; Monday is “Boys’ night at home”; Tuesday is “Boys’ day in government”; Wednesday, “Boys’ day in scholar¬ ship , Thursday, Boys day in industry”; on Friday the parade takes place; Saturday is “Boys’ day in athletics”. For the first time since Boys’ Week h as been inaugurated in Malden the students of Malden High School marched in the parade which has in the past been paiticipated in only by the Junior High School students Thanks to the efforts of Mr. Matthews, Mr. King, Mr. Goodreau, and various boys of the school who have had previous militarv experience the High School company was whipped into proper shape and was able to put up a good front on parade. Perhaps the most interesting day of all to High School students is Boys day m government. At that time the entire school elects the officers of the city government. The principal officers of the 1928 administration m the above picture are Charles S. J. MacNeil, Jr., Mayor (seated) • from left to right Charles W. Hill, Jr., Fire Comm.; George Trickey, chm. Board of Aldermen; George E. Lodgen, Police Comm. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B BAPTIST CHURCH RECEPTION Friday evening, May 18, 1928, is a date which will long be cherished in the minds of the Seniors of 28 B. Why, you may ask? It was the night of the reception of the Senior Council of the First Baptist Church to the Seniors. The whole night was a paleidoscope of brilliant and be¬ wildering events, one after another. As soon as the Senior entered the door, presumably somewhere about 8 o’clock, he was presented with a delightful little program, the work of Evelyn Jackson, was taken in charge by some attractive young lady, and was promptly ushered to the receiving line. Here he was afforded the pleasant opportunity of meeting Rev. and Mrs. W. Quay Rosselle, Mr. and Mrs. F. J. Nash, Lieutenant Alden Alley, Mr. Witte and Carl MacKenna. Now he was left to his own devices and became lost in the ma;ze of Seniors and his hosts. The social hall of the Church was very prettily decorated and was pervaded with an atmosphere of welcome and cheeri¬ ness. In these pleasant surroundings the Senior soon felt himself at home and for a time was actively engaged in securing autographs. Finally, the Seniors were all assembled and seated together and the program for the evening opened. Carl MacKenna gave the welcome to the Seniors and guests to which President George Lodgen of the Seniors, fittingly responded. Blanche Thompson then favored with cornet solos, accompanied by Lura Marsh. Rev. W. Quay Rosselle next made a few remarks, in which he expressed the friendliness and welcome of the Church to the whole class. Carl MacKenna then introduced Lieutenant Alden S. Alley of the New Jersey Law School, the speaker of the evening. Lieutenant Alley proved to be a most interesting and informing speaker, dealing with the importance of creating a common line of friendship between the nations of the world and showing how this could be obtained. To conclude a most entertaining program, a group of charming songs was rendered by Mr. William Weigle, who was forced by the merited and continued applause to give several encores. THE FACULTY RECEPTION On Friday evening, June 1, the faculty of M. H. S. tendered a reception to the graduating class. It was a most enjoyable occasion, and for the first time some of the teachers were shown in their true light. Many were surprised by the talent displayed by the entertainers. The program was an unusual one and was, therefore, greatly appreci¬ ated. The affair opened with a piano solo by Miss Pauline Watts. This revealed to the Seniors a talent which many had never surmised. (Yes, we must admit that there are some things that even a Senior doesn’t know—until he is about to be graduated!) This was followed by a mono¬ logue by Miss Martha Abbott who held high her reputation as an actress. The faculty chorus, consisting of Misses Cora E. Lane, Florence L. Whit- tum, Adeline B. Wetmore, Annie F. Slattery, Helen Cooper, Helene Moore, Evelyn L. Moore, Margaret H. O’Brien, Ruth E. Tucker, Violet Ackroyd, sang “School Life”. The words of this song were written by Miss Annie F. Slattery. Miss Octavia Chapin directed the chorus and Miss Pauline Watts accompanied on the piano. A One-Act Play, “The Rehearsal”, was the next number on the pro¬ gram. This was in the form of a rehearsal of a college play. The char- THE MALDONIAN 1928-B acters were: “Freda ’ the coach, Mrs. Richard Ogden; “Barbara,” the stricken old father, Miss Martha Abbott; “Christine,” Irish noble lady, Miss Ardis Doliff; “Sonia,” properties, Miss Gladys Watkins; “Gertrude,” the daughter, Miss Ruth Day. After another number by the chorus, “Farewell,” the words of which were written by Miss Margaret F. Berton, the gathering adjourned to the gymnasium which was decorated to represent a Japanese garden. The decorations were done under the supervision of Miss Briggs. Dancing followed, opening with a grand march directed by Misses Laura Varnum and Martha Abbott and led by George Lodgen, class presi¬ dent, Charlotte Solomont, sec’y, Stanley Ames, treas., and Janice Copeland, vice president. General dancing was then enjoyed and the e limination dance was won by Miss Clara Gilman and George E. Lodgen. Delightful refreshments were served under the direction of Mr. John Bowers Matthews. Misses A. Anna Dyer and Annie I. Rustin were general chairmen and were assisted as follows: Miss Gertrude Wadsworth, play; Miss Carrie M. Darling, dancing; Miss Ruth E. Tucker, souvenir programs; J. B. Mat¬ thews, refreshments; decorations, Miss Helen H. Briggs, chm., Misses Evelyn Moore and Margaret O’Brien. “JOAN OF ARC” CANTATA The Tuesday Morning Chorus has at last come to the top a Victor! And what a victory it was! Bright lights, bright dresses, bright vests, bright and shining faces, wonderful scenery, splendid chorus, and an out¬ standing success from beginning to end! What more could be desired ? Why all the excitement? You know! Thoughts of the grand pro¬ duction of the Joan of Arc Cantata . Nothing like it had ever been seen in Malden High, and it is unlikely that such a cantata will ever be repeated. On the evening of May 3rd, all the members of the Chorus met in th6 school dressed cts peasants. The girls had made bright cretonne aprons, wore lovely bright colored dresses, and white caps and fischus (made by the Sewing department and presented to the Chorus) to com¬ plete the costume. These could not have been improved upon, so natural did they look. The little caps tied in back were so made as to allow several wisps of hair to creep from beneath it, thus completing the ap¬ pearance of the hard-working peasant girl. They had been working too Since the first of February they had sung and resung the cantata so as to be sure of it. The boys? They certainly were there in all their glory! Each wore beneath his coat a very bright colored cretonne vest, and looked for all the world identical to those men they were representing. All certainly presented a stunning appearance as the curtain rolled back and showed them sitting on the stage. The supreme moment had come. The’ first chord was struck. All eyes were turned toward the con¬ ductor and then the soft music of a Spring morning filled the hall, holding the audience spellbound. Thus the evening passed. First the soft strains ot iSpring, telhng that the peasants were holding their annual May Festi¬ val. SText the Voices calling to Joan. Easily but steadily the music advanced to that of warfare. Quicklv but effectively the sound of the Voices crept in. As the Voices called Joan, so did they leave her to the horrors of the burning stake For a brief moment we hear the music of young people, but in a second it is THE MALDONIAN 1928-B gone, and we know that the body of Joan of Arc is no more,—but the tri¬ umphant swelling chorus shows that her victorious spirit will inspire France for all time. Mrs. Alice Armstrong Kimball took the part of “Joan”. The other soloists were Mr. Ralph Tailby and Mr. Raymond Simonds. There is no necessity of saying that the success of the production is in a great measure due to Miss Perkins. Credit must indeed be given to the pianist, Doris Sanford, for her untiring and conscientious work at each rehearsal and her splendid co¬ operation during the whole period of practicing. Mr. Crowley and his selected orchestra must come in for their laurels for their much needed help. The stage effects were marvelous, and cannot be appreciated by read¬ ing of them. The figures of Joan were more than life size, and were placed in such a position that the effect could not have been more beauti¬ ful. The Art department, under the supervision of Miss Lyons, must get the credit for this help in making the scene so realistic. Certainly no one could wish for any better success than the Tuesday Chorus enjoyed in its production of “Joan of Arc”. LATIN CLUB MEETING A very successful meeting of the S. P. Q. R., Latin Club, was held Tuesday evening, January 24, in the school library. The officers of the club offered a delightful program that includted every member. The program was headed by a Latin Play, “Dido”, which was coached by Miss Whittum, the adviser of the club, and enacted by the following members: Anna [Sister of Dido] . Jean Phyllides Dido [Queen of Carthage] .Dorothy Dexter Carthiginians . Leonard Millen, Dominic Antonucci Anicula [Old woman soothsayer] .Pearl Edelston Vir I .Bernard Graves Vir II .Walter Lounsbury larbas [A Numidian prince, suitor of Dido] .George Phyllides Aneas [Leader of the Trojans] .-.Louis Weiner Achates [His friend] . Thomas O’Brien Ilioneus . George E. Lodgen Cupido [Cupid] . Roland Wilder Bitias .. Abraham Stein Iopas . Arthur Simonds Mulieres I [women] . . . Mary Mrose Mulieres II . Sara Winer Mulieres III .Florence Goodwin Mulieres IV _. Margaret Power Place—Carthage Time—Seven years after war Joseph Zimmerman gave a violin solo, accompanied by Charlotte Hurwitz. A cross word puzzle in charge of Mary Mrose proved very amusing, as the audience racked their brains for hints of a Latin vocabulary. George Lodgen, the consul, brought the meeting, over which he had pre¬ sided, to an end. Refreshments were served, and the “Cog” orchestra offered music for the dancing which completed an enjoyable evening. 1 . 2 . 3 . 4 . 5 . 6 . 7 . 8 . 9 . Three belles, and all’s well.

THE MALDONIAN 1928-B SENIOR OUTING On Monday, June 11, Class 8 left the high school in summer raiment, gay spirits, and five busses to go to Whalom Park on the senior outing. Mr. Batchelder and Miss Slattery, both of whom are famous for their taciturnity (?) accompanied us, as well as our adviser, Miss Dearborn. We are sorry to say that Mr. Jenkins was unable to come. However, Mr. Goodreau took his place and everything was rosy again. The trip out was greatly enjoyed. Of course, we indulged in ruining our voices for Miss Perkins when going through Medford, but that was only to be expected. At last we saw a sign that said “Whalom Park 1 mile.” Ce qui nous a fait tres contents, (pardon—force of habit), but some of our more worldly members said, “Oh in the country add 2, multi¬ ply by 5 to get the real distance.” Nevertheless, Oh rapture, the sign was accurate and we arrived. Whalom Park is on the edge of a beautiful lake, and possesses such delightful properties as a boathouse full of canoes and rowboats, and a bath-house where the bathing suits are woolen and fit you. Some of the bravest of our number went in swimming immediately and we must say that the water was wonderful—cool, invigorating, and refreshing. Of course there were many who took possession of canoes immediately and relinquished them only for dinner. Little groups wand¬ ered off here and there and we saw Mr. Goodreau with a background of admiring girls give a little boy who was fishing a nickel. The dear child was so overwhelmed with this generosity that he nearly fell into the lake. It was not long before we were summoned to the dance pavillion to eat. While waiting for the last preparations to be made several interest¬ ing snapshots were taken, among them one in which Mr. Batchelder had his arms about Miss Dearborn. This, we are sorry to say, did not come out, whether because of the shock received by the camera or its owner we hesitate to say. At last, we were allow to eat. Fruit cocktail, soup, roast chicken, salad, potatoes, ice cream, cake and coffee, it certainly tasted good. Between courses we had several impromptu speeches by members of the faculty, all of whom seemed to be trying to explain the compromising position in which Miss Dearborn and Mr. Batchelder were photographed. It has not as yet been satisfactorily explained. After dessert, with Charlotte Hurwitz at the piano, we sang the school song. After dinner some of us went on the roller coaster “The Shooting- Star” which was quite thrilling, almost as good (or as bad) as the Cyclone. Canoes were again in order and at four o’clock with great reluctance we came in off the lake in response to the insistent honking of the bus horns. We started home, more or less tired, but very happy. But the excitement was not over yet for a very hard looking “arm of the law” stopped us for having too many in one of the busses and one had a flat in West Medford. (Imagine our chagrin.) At last, however, we arrived at the square, about seven o’clock, unanimous in our feelings of remorse at coming home and of sunburn! A very successful outing! May every other class enjoy theirs as much! THE MALDONIAN 1928-B THE FACULTY PLAY, “THE DOVER ROAD” The footlights glare, the curtain is drawn, and the audience waits in sheer expectancy. At last, the stage itself, a room it is, and in it, Mr. Hall, alias Dominic, a most impressive and efficient butler. Silence reigns—and then the bell—the door is opened and in sweep Anne and Leonard, more commonly known as Miss Wadsworth and Mr. Goodreau. We are given to understand from the conversation which ensues that Leonard, wrapped in a raccoon coat, is much disturbed over his car’s breaking down on the Dover Road, forcing him and his “er-er wife” to seek shelter at this hotel. Our eyes then turn to a figure sauntering forth from a doorway. We find that Mr. Bartlett in a dressing gown quite dominates the scene as a host. Mr. Bartlett is a perfect Mr. Latimer. Surely he is not acting, those gestures are so natural, those expressions so characteristic! Mr. Latimer, a wealthy gentleman, has a hobby for meddling in the matrimonial affairs of others. He strives to have them look before they leap, by exposing their true selves to one another. Thus Anne and Leonard are told they are prisoners, and that two other prisoners are to leave the following day, hav¬ ing been under trial for one week. The next scene discloses Miss O’Brien breakfasting with Mr. Smith. The former, as Eustasia, incidentally Leonard’s dear wife, is too urgently entreating the latter as Nicholas, to eat more. Mr. Smith as a disillusioned lover is very amusing and very much at ease on the stage, while Miss O’Brien is particularly sweet as a motherly young thing; too sweet to suit Nicholas! Complications set in. Leonard, hungry, unshaven, unsympathetic, pajama clad, loses all his glamor in Anne’s eyes. Eustasia meets her poor sick Leonard, and her heart softens towards the husband who never had accommodated her by falling sick. He instantly falls under her care. Learning of this, he plans with Nicholas to run away from women. Mr. Latimer offers to help by pretending illness to occupy Eustasia’s mind! As he writhes in pretended agony, Anne enters and strives to soothe this sudden attack. Latimer quite enjoys it. Can we ever again take Mr. Bartlett seriously after witnessing this delightful scene? Miss Wads¬ worth is so entrancing, even when she remarks that “faces look so funny upside down! And then Anne bids her host adieu, returning reluctantly to her home and father via the Dover Road. Our Mr. Latimer withdraws as unobtrusively as he appeared, but in our memories he will always remain as the man with a most extraordinary hobby, portrayed by a man with a most remarkable interpretive ability. We then hear Dominic ushering in two more victims, two more dauntless lovers, two more travelers on the Dover Road. COG PRIZE SPEAKING CONTEST The fourth annual Prize Speaking Contest of the Cognoscendi Causa Society was held on March 2, 1928, at eight o’clock P.M. in the Malden High chool Hall. Mr. Jenkins, our headmaster, acted as chairman, and Mrs. IT ™ staples of the School Committee and Mr. Elbridge Davis, judge of the Malden District Court, acted as judges. As is the custom, the contest was divided into three departments ■ Current events, oratory, and dramatics. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B The judges were to rank each speaker by a certain number of points for certain qualities: Interpretation, 25 points, Appearance, 15, Pronuncia¬ tion, 10. During the intermission, between the actual contest and the an¬ nouncement of the prizes, the high school orchestra rendered several selections. Mr. Jenkins finally announced the awards. He said that there was a tie for first place between Dorothy Moses and George Lodgen, but that the judges, after consulting the rules in case of a tie, decided the following: First prize, Dorothy Moses; Second prize, George Lodgen; Third prize, Ruth Swan. The two boys who represented Malden High School at Colby College are George Lodgen and Louis Kaplan. The members of the committee responsible for the success of the contest are Louis Weiner, chairman, George Lodgen, John Egan, and John Staren. SENIOR RECEPTION Thursday, June 14, Class 8 was tendered one of the most elaborate and novel receptions ever presented. Class 7, our hosts, had many entertain¬ ing and novel ideas which were thoroughly enjoyed by all present. Charles MacNeil, president of Class 7, made the welcoming speech after which the class seven orchestra, under the able direction of Mr. Smith played a selection. Then a real two act play was presented. Ruth Winchell, as Rebecca Luke, the eccentric old maid played her part well. Henry Greenberg made a most realistic butler while Mary Coggan as Patty the maid who aspires to ballet, hopped about the stage in great style. The part of Katherine Rogers, played by Florence Qualters was delight¬ fully enacted, and Anthony Fernald as Philip Royson made a capital yachtsman. Constance Buckley as Marian Bryant and Meyer Rosenzweig as Robert Brown furnished the complications and were both the hit of the evening. After the Orchestra had played another selection Charles MacNeil presented Mr. Smith with a gift of appreciation for his part in making the reception a success, and presented Misses Watts and Dearborn with bouquets of flowers. The next feature was the surprise of the evening. A screen had been lowered and with Mr. Smith at the stereopticon and Norman Carter at the piano “I Told Them All About You” with variations, was flashed upon the screen, to the infinite delight of the audience. In the gymnasium the Boston DeMolay orchestra furnished the music to which a great number of couples danced. Later on in the evening the elimination dance was won by Miss Eleanor Mangene and George Reardon. The only regretful part of the whole affair was that it had to end at eleven o’clock at which time everyone left thoroughly delighted with the evening’s entertainment. THE MALDONIAN 1928-B “You to the left and I to the right, For the ways of men must sever— And it well may be for a day and night, And it well may be forever. But whether we meet or whether we part (For our ways are past our knowing). A pledge from the heart to its fellow heart On the ways we all are going! Here’s luck! For we know not where we are going.” Jffittta To Our Advertisers Without Whose Generous Aid, This Book Would Not Be, This Page Is Most Gratefully Dedicated .
