Whiting Gounod vi i Salutatory The Augustan Age This year 1930 is the two thousandth anniversary of the birth of Virgil, one of the greatest poets of the world. To do honor to his worthy genius the speakers this evening have the great pleasure of bringing to you a vivid portrayal of the man and a sympathetic understanding of his writings in order that you may appreciate the true value of his genius. The Augustan Age—the golden epoch of literature—spans the years of 44 B. C. to 14 A. D. Previous to this, Rome had witnessed a century of civil and politi¬ cal strife, in which military and civil leaders strove for one man power. Julius Caesar died in 44 B. C. Then followed a civil war for political leadership ending in Augustus, his grand nephew, becoming emperor in 30 B. C. Augustus ushered in a period of peace, prosperity, and culture such as Rome had never before known. Italy gained a long desired rest and tranquillity, and the people showed their thankfulness for quiet through their devotion to art and literature. The empire of Augustus stretched from the Sahara desert in the south to the Danube and Rhine on the north; from the Atlantic on the West to the Euphrates River in Asia Minor on the East. In short, it included all the known world of that day. The ruling policy of Augustus was one of peace and improvement. He invested the empire with a double rule of senate and emperor. He also brought about a just and vigorous rule over the provinces. Instead of ravaging and plundering them as former rulers had done, he furthured their improvement by paving the roads, establishing a just administration, and bringing to them thrift, happiness, and local freedom. The culture and refinement of the age affected the writing of this period to a great extent. And justly so! The Romans were turning to Greece for culture and education. The Greeks during the Periclean Age had developed art, science, literature, architecture, painting, and sculpture to a high degree; and it was this education that the sons of Roman nobles were eagerly seeking. The boys were taught by Greek tutors at home until they became of age to go to Athens, Rhodes, or other Grecean cities to complete their education. Augustus was so impressed with the civilization Isaac Fishman 3 l V t fc W o l MALD0N1AN of Greece that he revived ancient customs and religious ceremonies and beautified Rome to so great an extent by erecting magnificent buildings that he might well boast of having found Rome a city of brick and of having left it a city of marble. Another important factor in the success of the Augustan literature was the friendly social relationship existing between the writers and emi¬ nent men in the state. The main cause for this relationship was that men, who in a former age, because of their birth and education, would have had political careers, were now debarred from this activity and had not yet be¬ come too dulled by the monotony of luxury to enjoy noble literature. Fur¬ thermore the society of aristocrats was numerous. The cultivated men of the day were well versed in Greek literature and spoke the Greek language among themselves perhaps even more than they did Latin. Wealthy men like Augustus and Maecenas greatly aided poor writers, especially Virgil and Horace, with their financial generosity and patronage. The literature of the Augustan Age was used to a great extent to elevate and magnify the glory of the imperial government. Maecenas, wealthy patron, prevailed upon Virgil and Horace, to arouse, through their writing, the enthusiasm of the people in favor of simple country life and agriculture and in praise of the imperial ruler,—Augustus. During the period of peace that resulted from the cessation of warfare and of political strife, poetry was developed to the fullest extent of beauty and perfection by those masterful genuises: Virgil, Horace, and Ovid. The outstanding prose writer of the time, Livy, left a history of enter¬ taining reading, a history that magnified the power of the Empire. Through his melodious verse, Ovid has gained immortality in his “Metamorphoses”. Horace, the only poet of the age to compare with Virgil, dwells in the modern mind as a great lyrist, moralist, satirist, and literary critic. Above all his contemporaries, the divine poet of the golden age, Virgil, stands out because of the beauty and perfection of his poetry. Undying fame is his, for his ripe and cultivated mind left to posterity the rich treasury of Roman country life depicted in his “Eclogues” and “Georgies”. An d in his eternal masterpiece, the incomparable “Aeneid”, he gives an exalted picture of the mission of Rome, under Augustus as the restorer of world peace. It is for these reasons, the influence of the man in his own age and in the future, and the outstanding merit of his poetry, that we today hail Virgil across the centuries as one of the world’s greatest poets in one of the world’s greatest eras. Zyiviz. Vv ' oi : MALDONIAN Babhirtorg The Influence Of Virgil Elinor Gav Few poets have won the universal ad- 1 miration that has been accorded to Virgil. Down through the ages he has lived for two thousand years exerting an enduring influ¬ ence as we shall see. The conquering armies of Rome carried law and a masterful sense for organization wherever they went. When, however, Rome ceased to be mistress of the world, she left a priceless legacy that was to immortalize her name—not only Roman law, but the inspiration of her supreme poet, Publius Virgilius Maro. Whoever comes to know Virgil falls under the spell of a magician who conjures him into a world of the imagination in which the gods themselves influence the affairs and destiny of a mighty nation. Almost at once the writings of Virgil became the leading text-book in the Roman schools. Virgil’s contemporaries recognized that here was a new master in the art of poetry who by consumate skill in language and meter, by unrivalled power in coining the magic word and phrase, and by the majestic ocean-roll of his rhythm could touch almost every chord in the human heart. He influenced the Middle Ages profoundly. When the continent of Europe was dyed deep with the blood of contending armies, all the litera¬ ture of the ancients would have been lost, had not the Church preserved it in its monasteries. Virgil especially was treasured as a precious possession, and priests knew their Virgil almost as well as their ritual. The great Dante, forerunner of the Renaissance, felt a close sympathy with Virgil partly because of his own Italian patriotism. In his “Inferno” he chose Virgil for his guide through the Lower World and in these words confessed his obligations to Virgil: “Thou art my master, and my author thou, Thou art alone the one from whom I took The beautiful style that has done honour to me.” He reverently called Virgil the “sea of all knowledge” and “the sage who knew all things.” Less than a quarter century after Dante died, Chaucer, the father of our English poets, was born. Chaucer also came under the spell of Virgil, ' Wolfit, MALDONIAN expressing his indebtedness in this wise: “Glory and honour, Virgil Mantuan, Be to thy name! and I shall as I can, Follow thy lantern as thou gost biforn.” The lantern that Virgil held to him apparently tuned his ear to the melody of English verse and opened his eyes to see with human understanding, not the gods of the ancients, but the every-day folk whom he came to know in his beloved London. English poetry languished during the fifteenth century, but the six¬ teenth century saw it bud and blossom with new beauty in the work of Edmund Spenser, lovingly called by the Elizabethans, the Poets’ Poet. Here again we perceive the stream of Virgil’s influence pouring into Spenser’s Shepheardes Calendar. It is a pastoral poem in twelve parts, one part for each month in the year. As Virgil in his Eclogues skillfully adapted Greek models to Italian conditions of life in contrast to life in the city, so does Spenser picture in his Shepheardes Calendar in a kind of allegory the superiority of a simple life over a court life. Spenser has caught the fine poetic feeling with which the classic master treated natural phenomena and man’s relations to the world of nature. In the Faerie Queen Spenser shows many of the qualities of style of Virgil himself, such as a perfect melody, exquisite beauty, splendid imagination which could gather into one poem knights, ladies, demons and dragons, classic mythol¬ ogy, stories of chivalry and the thronging ideals of the Renaissance, to¬ gether with a lofty idealism. And now we come to that man who wrote the great epic poem in our language, John Milton. Listen to his opening lines in Paradise Lost and sense the tremendous reach of the man’s imagination: Of Man’s first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our woe With loss of Eden, till one greater Man Restore us, and regain the blissful seat, Sing Heavenly Muse, that on the secret top Of Oreb, or of Sinai, didst inspire That shepherd, who first taught the chosen seed In the beginning how the heavens and earth Rose out of chaos:. “And chiefly Thou 0 Spirit, that dost prefer Before all temples the upright heart and pure Instruct me, for Thou know’st. What in me is dark Illume, what is low raise and support; That to the height of this great argument I may assert Eternal Providence And justify the ways of God to men.” S v i v i W o t As the Aeneid is the epic of Latin literature so is Paradise Lost the epic of English literature. As a profound Latin student Milton reveals his debt to Virgil. The Aeneid relates the destruction of Troy, the wanderings of Aeneas for seven years until he settled in Italy and prepared for the founding of Rome—the city of destiny. Milton attempted something even more vast in explaining how sin came into the world and using for his story a titanic background of heaven, hell, and the illimitable void that lies between. His poem, Paradise Lost, is unsurpassed for sublimity of thought, superb imagery, and harmonious melody such as only the organ among musical instruments is capable of voicing. Finally we shall mention Tennyson who is nearest our own time and like Chaucer, Spenser, and Milton was influenced by the Latin masters. Tennyson has paid his tribute in the exquisite ode which we have already heard this evening. I shall therefore refer only to the descriptive power of the two poets by the use of protracted similes. When the ship-wrecked Aeneas views the city of Carthage from a height, he is deeply impressed by the busy laborers: “Such toil was theirs as busies the bees in early summer amid country flowers, under sunny skies, when they are bringing forth the first off-spring of the tribe, or when they are storing the flower¬ ing honey and are filling the cells with sweet nectar, or are receiving the burdens of those who are coming, from the hives.” Similarly Tennyson describes an onset in that tournament where Lancelot almost lost his life: “They couched their spears and pricked their steeds, and thus, Their plumes driven backward by the wind they made In moving, all together down upon him Bare, as a wild wave in the wide North Sea Green-glimmering toward the summit, bears with all Its stormy crests that smoke against the skies, Down on a bark, and overbears the bark And him that helms it; so they overbore Sir Lancelot and his charger;. Thus and in countless other ways do we recognize the veneration with which great English poets have remembered Virgil. In their admiration they have imitated—which is always the highest praise. Wherefore we may truly say that down through twenty centuries the world has paid its tribute to the immortal greatness of Virgil. VALE Classmates: Hitherto the ideals of the past have been our ideals: the education of the past has furnished our education; and the literature of the past has fed our thought life. Now we have come to a time when we ourselves are obliged to enter into the making of history for posterity. We must enter as active, thinking citizens the life not only of our own country but of the world because new conditions force the world viewpoint. W W«W WI W� l 4. MALDONIAN In entering this newer, larger life, however, we must cherish the best that the past has bequeathed to us. Virgil, the subject of our con¬ sideration this evening has left us an inheritance that the world has held sacred for two thousand years. The material success of the man did not perpetuate his name. It was his spiritual attainments in stirring the patriotism of a decadent nation, in arousing its ideals to labor well and to appreciate beauty that explains his present fame. Let us therefore make the most of our lives in the finest way, never losing courage in the face of temporary defeat. To this end therefore, I bid you take as a parting word our class motto, “Perseverance wins suc¬ cess,” and with this thought, classmates of 1930-A, I say farewell. ODrattott Virgil, The Humanist Bernard Cushman Many people are inclined to look upon Virgil as a man apart, a genius who lived entirely aloof from the life of his fellow-men. This concept, however, is neither true, nor fair, nor justifiable. Virgil was essentially a humanist, truly interested in t he Romans of the age in which he lived. One of his out¬ standing characteristics is his understanding of human life—its labors, its trials, its pas¬ sions. Often he wrote from experience. In one of the Eclogues Virgil depicts in language of natural pathos and exquisite grace the poor man’s sorrow in relinquishing to some rude soldier, incapable either of enjoying the charm or profiting by the richness of the land, his thatched-hut, his well-turned and fallow-fields, his corn crops, his pear trees and vines, and the familiar sight of his goats feeding high up among the thickets. Virgil, himself, was forced by governmental decree to give up his farm to a soldier. Is it any wonder, therefore, that he could portray this situation so vividly and so naturally ? The Georgies, a group of agricultural poems, are likewise the product of personal experience. The power of appreciating and enjoying the rou¬ tine sights and work of the farm, the reality with which he describes the seeds and harvest, the deep love for his subject in every detail, he could not have gained from the mere study of books. Nor did he. For Virgil was an agriculturist in the true sense of the word. As a result of his country life and experience he became one of the early social scientists. Both the Georgies and the Eclogues glorify the dignity and worth of labor. Virgil lays stress on the value of husbandmen and on the public loss due to the lessening of their numbers and influence. “To idealize the life of that class by describing with realistic fidelity and in most empyreal language, the annual round of labor in which it was passed; to suggest the poignant charm arising from intimate contact with the manifold processes of Nature into which man is brought in the life of labor; to contrast the simplicity and sacredness of such a life with the luxury and intractable passions of the world; and to associate this ideal with the beauty of Italy and the historic memories of Rome were his objects.” MALDONIAN The only career open to a Roman patrician lay either in politics or in managing and developing his own estate. Virgil tried to revive in the Romans an appreciation of the utility of land. Both the “Georgies” and “Eclogues” were inspired by the same impulse which first started the Roman rac e on its career of conquest, the desire for possession of land. “0 happy husbandmen!” says Virgil, “too happy, should they come to know their blessings—they for whom, far from the crash of arms, most righteous Earth, unasked, pours forth an easy sustenance.” The “Aeneid” reveals still another phase of Virgil’s character, his pa¬ triotism. This magnificent epic expresses the national sentiment of Rome. Virgil firmly believes that the Romans are superior to all other nations and he has a staunch trust in the noble destiny of his race. This pride of empire asserts itself over and over again. Virgil makes Jupiter say, “For the Romans I set neither bounds nor periods of empire; dominion without end have I bestowed.” In a famous passage concerning Rome’s superiority Virgil says, “Excudent alii spirantia mollius aera, (credo equidem), vivos ducent de marmore voltus; orabunt causas melius, caelique meatus describent radio et surgentia sidera dicent: tu regere imperio populos, Romane, memento (hae tibi erunt artes) pacique imponere morem, parcere subiectis et de ' bellare superbos.” “Others, I doubt not, shall beat out the breathing bronze with softer lines, shall from marble draw forth the features of life; shall plead causes better, with the rod shall trace the paths of heaven and tell the rising of the stars; remember, thou, 0 Roman, to rule the nations with thy sway, these shall me thine arts—to crown peace with law, to spare the humble, and to tame in war the proud.” Virgil believes that the Roman race is of divine origin and glorious destiny and that Augustus is a direct descendant of Aeneas, son of the goddess Venus under whose protection he founded the Roman race. In the first few lines of the Aeneid “Arma virumque cano, Troiae qui primus ab oris Italiam fato profugus Laviniaque venit litora—multum ille et terris iactatus et alto vi superum, saevae memorem Iunonis ob iram, multa quoque et bello passus, dum conderet urbem inferretque deos Latio; genus unde Latinum Albanique patres atque altae moenia Romae,” he expressed this sentiment. “Arms I sing,” he says, “and the man who first from the coasts of Troy, exiled by fate, came to Italy and Lavinian shores, long buffeted on land and sea by the will of gods, and long suffering in war also, till he should build a city and bring his gods, to Latium; whence came the Latin race, the lords of Alba, and the walls of lofty Rome.” 3 1 V� Even more clearly does he bring out the idea of the divine origin of Rome in the story of Dido and Aeneas. Aeneas, the man who first came from the coasts of Troy to Italy, is forced, in the course of his journey, to land near Carthage, the city of the beautiful Phoenician queen, Dido. Dido falls in love with the god-like Aeneas and tempts him, since he is by no means aware of her charms, to delay at Carthage, and he does delay, until Mercury, the messenger of the gods, is sent down to tell him to continue on his journey to found the destined city. Only the express command of the gods can separate Aeneas from Dido and at Mercury’s message he leaves Carthage and Dido, grief-stricken, kills herself. By this famous story Virgil brings out the fact that no opposition either human or divine, can prevent the founding of Rome which has been foreordained by the Fates. The Aeneid also constantly reveals Virgil as an advocate of the old religion. So he considers Jupiter king of the gods and ruler of mankind under whose guidance the decrees of the fates are carried out. Virgil represents human life as utterly dependent upon the will of the gods. His idea is that the training and discipline for the attainment of all virtues, are to be sought in plain and frugal living, in hardy pastimes as well as unflinching industry, in obedience to parents and reverent wor¬ ship of the gods, and in abstinence from the luxurious indulgences and the enervating pleasures of a corrupt civilization. Just as the present generation is berating the younger generation and moaning “0 Temporal 0 Mores” so Virgil mourned the passing of the old simplicity. He cried out against the extravagant indulgences of his day. Rome in his day was so steeped in luxury that it was doomed to destruction. Virgil realized this and, far sighted as he was, attempted to revive the old simplicity of family life, the worship of the gods and respect for the dignity of labor. As we give Virgil his place among the great personalities of 2,000 years ago let us always keep before us the image of a man truly representa¬ tive of the best in his age, a patriot, a social scientist, an advocate of the old religion, Virgil the humanist! • V i W k � To Virgil Written by Tennyson at the request of the Mantuans for the nineteenth centenary of Virgil’s death. Recited by Albert Jack Zimmerman Roman Virgil, thou that singest Ilion’s lofty temples robed in fire, Ilion falling, Rome arising, wars, and filial faith, and Dido’s pyre; Landscape-lover, lord of language more than he that sang the Works and Days, All the chosen coin of fancy flashing out from many a golden phrase; Thou that singest wheat and woodland, tilth and vineyard, hive and horse and herd; All the charm of all the Muses often flowering in a lonely word; Poet of the happy Tityrus piping underneath his beechen bowers; Poet of the poet-satyr whom the laughing shepherd bound with flowers; Chanter of the Pollio, glorying In the blissful years again to be, Summers of the snakeless meadow, unlaborious earth and oarless sea; Thou that seest Universal Nature moved by Universal Mind; Thou majestic in thy sadness at the doubtful doom of human kind; Light among the vanish’d ages; star that gildest yet this phantom shore; Golden branch amid the shadows, kings and realms that pass to rise no more; Now thy Forum roars no longer, fallen every purple Caesar’s dome— Tho’ thine ocean-roll of rhythm sound for ever of Imperial Rome — Now the Rome of slaves hath perish’d, and the Rome of freeman holds her place, I, from out the Northern Island sunder’d once from all the human race, I salute thee, Mantovano, I that loved thee since my day began, Wielder of the stateliest measure ever moulded by the lips of man. % Mr. Jenkins, Teachers, Fellow-Seniors, and My Dear Children— If I were to tell you the moon was made of green cheese, you would, with little hesi¬ tation, name my statement a lie; but if, in¬ stead, your Latin or English teacher inform¬ ed you that a pile of rocks jumped up and of their own accord formed into the fortifica¬ tions of a city because a certain man played a shepherd’s pipe, you would proceed to swal¬ low the tale and call it a myth. That is the difference between a downright lie and a first-class myth. The first is a naked lie; the second is a lie—with clothes on. The Greeks and the Romans had their myths as do all lands and institutions. Being a rather ancient relic of antiquity this school of ours has myths of its own. This evening at graduation you shall undoubtedly hear much of myths as told by the Roman Virgil. It has been my exper¬ ience, however, to have seen in our fair school many myths, some similar and some not to classical myths, as well as many individuals who com¬ pletely outshine the heroes of Grecian and Biblical mythology. Looming mountainous among the mighty men of past ages is Samson, a man whose sole strength lay in his long, curly locks. It appears that this same myth has extended its influence to the present day. Have you ever come across the fine art of shaving? Most of us youths have, but ap¬ parently our athletic brethen haven’t. Have you ever asked Sam Fishman and Matt Suvalsky to shave the day before the Medford game ? It isn’t advisable. Like Samson, their strength is judged by the length of their beards. If so, they both would have been able to make marbles out of the Rock of Gilbraltar. Fortunate it was for the school that they returned here beardless, for our fair building might have collapsed had they not lost their strength with the cutting of the hair as did Samson of old. Sadness plays its part in many myths, too. Perhaps you have heard of Herclitus, affectionately c alled the weeping Philosopher, who is reputed to have spent his declining years mourning at the folly of man. There is one in our school-ranks, however, who is far superior to him in lamenting the stupidity of human nature. I refer to the Weeping Philosopher from Minnesota who never yet had a student ready to take college exams. 11 MALDONIAN Many of you have been recently exposed to a study of business methods. This myth will surely interest you. Paris, son of Priam, is sup¬ posed to have been the supersalesman of ancient times both in selling - his j)ersonality to Helen of Troy and in inducing her to leave behind that inferior salesman, her husband. That youth may have accomplished won¬ ders in his day when salesmanship was still in its infancy. At the present time in our school, however, we have the finished product of high-pressured salesmanship in the guise of Oisa Flashman, a man who has the necessary persuasive ability to sell gilded tooth-picks to the inmates of the Old Ladies’ Home or fur-lined bath tubs to the Esquimos. Enough for salesmanship, here’s something about a myth everyone of us wants to see become a reality. Sturdy old Ulysses struts across the stage. Was there ever a man so adventuresome, so everlastingly desirous of new land-conquests. “Oh, if we could only get there. I’ve heard so much about its being fertile. If I once got there, I’d do better.” So we say the same thing and clamour for a new building, a new gym, and a new assembly-hall. “Things,” we say, “will be different,” but will they? “Music hath its charms” and so hath a musical myth. The black, murky regions of Hades once were trod by a mortal man named Orpheus who longing for his wife had come to beg Pluto to release her from the land of the dead. Before Pluto had a chance to answer him, Orpheus brought out his lyre and played music so beautiful that all the activities of Hell were quieted—and Orpheus won his wife. That is a myth founded on no fact, yet who is not aware that we have an equal to Orpheus in our very midst? Who has not wept tears of joy as “Bob” Lapidus with all the ten¬ derness and pathos, with all the feeling and poetic fire his young voice can muster renders that stately old ballad, “On the Road to Mandalay.” Now there is another myth current in our school which everybody ex¬ cept us seniors believes in. It is that within the confines of a huge room on the second floor, commonly called the library, is a dragon—yes, children, a dragon—with eyes as big as dinner-plates, with smoke and flames stream¬ ing from out its nostrils, and a three-forked tongue as deadly as Old Nick’s lashing all who come within range. But, children, there’s nothing to be afraid of. This dragon isn’t a dragon at all, but the gentlest, mildest, j oiliest teacher you ever met—once you know her. That is why we call her “Ma Child.” One more myth remains, dear children, that I must explain away. We all know the story of Elijah, how when the proper time came and his travel¬ ing clothes were packed away in a steamer-trunk, he ascended to the up¬ per regions by way of the celestial railway, in this case, a chariot, free of charge. Many in our school, especially the freshmen, desire the same free method of transportation. They evidently think they are Elijahs. These poor dumb-stricken cattle surge up the spacious steps leading into our fair building and demand free transportation to the upper floors. “No more climbing long flights of stairs for us. Where’s the elevator?” Children, children, I fear for you, can you bear the shock? Control your fears, calm your beating breasts and let me whisper it softly into your ear_There isn’t any! No, no it’s just another myth—exploded. Now it is we realize there are many myths existing in our school_ myths that on the surface seem sound, but lack foundation. You also catch a fleeting glimpse of a fact which is in no wise a myth, for who will question it that this Class of 1930-A is in a class by itself, is in itself superior to past classical heroes and heroines, not to speak of its contemporaries? Who does not know how we shine in the unfailing light of our own brilliance and excellence? Who is not aware that even now our names are being forever emblazoned on the tablets of Dame History as those who thought all things, knew alll things, and did all things. After having enlightened you thus far as to our merit, I was supposed to have closed my oration, but I perceive a crying request photographed on the countenance of every one of you. You want to know what is the moral purpose of this oration, if there is any. You poor dears, I’ll tell you. Come close, children, close, listen, softly now: Don’t believe all you’re told. Samuel Fishman and Helen Goldman (The scene is in a class room. The class is already assembled. Miss Goldman, the history teacher, enters, grabs tablet and starts passing out paper without a word.) Class: (In chorus) Oh! you’re wise. The lesson was too long! Pupil: I couldn’t understand the lesson to-day. Teacher: Well, I don’t see anything hard about it. ’Course you have to spend a certain amount of time on it to get it. Pupil: We didn’t have any time; there was a speaker during the as¬ sembly period and that was when I planned to study. Teacher: Well, all right, then. We’ll have an oral exam instead. What tribe in your opinion, Marion, has had the most important influence on our school? Pupil: (Rises) The tribe of ’30A is the most important that’s ever been in our school. Teacher: Do you all agree? Class: Sure. Teacher: Marion, when did this tribe come into existence? Pupil: Feb. 1927. Teacher: Now, Marion, do you think that you can possibly remember as far back as your Freshman year? Pupil: Well, teacher, due to the Jr. High School system, we were Sophomores, not Freshmen, upon entering M. H. S. (Class laughs) Teacher: I stand corrected. Pupil: Because of the brilliance of our class, it was necessary to con¬ tinue the division of the class into morning and afternoon sessions. It was then also that the National Honor Society was formed at M. H. S. Ahem- ah-eh— MALDONIAN (Loud whisper)—remember the elevators? Pupil: Oh, yes. Much to our disappointment the elevators had been removed—by request—and we were confronted with three flights of treach¬ erous stairs to accend. However, we were amused by Juniors and Seniors, who in their hurry came tumbling down the stairs. After settling down, our class began to interest itself in school a ffairs and societies. We had the largest number on the Honor Roll for the se¬ mester. (Voice from the rear) What a break for the school. Teacher: Who said that ? Pupil: I did. Teacher: Well, you may get up and recite on the classes activities during class IV. Pupil: Now, let me see. In the first place our football stars came into existence. Bob Lapidus and Sam Fishman made their letter, while Oisa Flashman and Suvalsky were on the first squad. Later in the se¬ mester, we received our best news of all our three years in Malden High. Miss Moore was chosen as our class advisor. We immediately began to organize by electing our officers for the year: Pres., Guy Steeves; V. Pres., Sam Fishman; Sec., Ruth Knowlton; Treas., Chas. Hill. Elinor Gay’s ap¬ pointment as Class Editor of the Blue and Gold showed that our genius was being recognized. Teacher: What was the outstanding event in Class V? Pupil: Our first Class Party was held and in spite of it being Friday the 13th (of May) it was a huge success. After a pleasant entertainment in the Hall, we adjourned to the gym for dancing. Our heros saw to it that the teachers had enough dancing. Teacher: I suppose it was an all night affair. Pupil: Heck, no. We were kindly requested to leave the gym at 11 p. m. Teacher: Now, Jack, what were some other things of importance that happened while you were in class V? Pupil: Oh! We had an even half dozen on the Blue and Gold Staff that semester, and that number has increased each year. Our Athletes interested themselves in track and baseball, and we were represented in the Cog. Prize Speaking Contest by Bernard Cushman and Bob Lapidus, our noble orators. Then came promotion and with it came our blessed summer vacation. Teacher: And you haven’t got over that vacation yet! (to the class) We will now have a short Intelligence Test. You students need it. This test will cover the activities of your class during class VI. Teacher: What was the most exciting event of the semester? Answer: Class rings were chosen. Teacher: Who were elected as our Class officers? Answer: Pres. Chas. Hill, V. Pres. Sam Fishman, Sec. R. Knowlton, Treas. Marion Potter. Teacher: Who won the third prize in the State Wide Essay Contest on Prohibition ? Answer: Pearl Kotzen. Teacher: What famous orator represented us at Colby ? Answer: Harrison Davis. Teacher: Who won football letters ? Answer: Sam Fishman, Bob Lapidus, Dick Hill, Oisa Flashman, M. Suvalsky, Bob Bolton and Gene Connolly. Teacher: Who was captain of the swimming team? Answer: William O’Farrell. Teacher: Who won the Washington-Franklin History Medal? Answer: Bernard Cushman. Teacher: What a smart class this morning. We’ll now have a little socialized recitation. You’ve been resting all this period, Oisa, let’s see how bright you are. What teacher asks the silliest questions? 1st Pupil: “Batch” 2nd Pupil: John B. 3rd Pupil: Little Charlie. 4th Pupil: Aw! They all do. Teacher: You’re so smart you ought to be twins. 4th Pupil: Well, my mother has a picture of me when I was two. Teacher: Who are the Damon and Pythias of M. H. S. ? Pupil: Maud Norris and “Ma” Herrick. Teacher: Why does a boy cross the street? Pupil: Because there’s a good looking girl on the other side. Teacher: Do teachers ever make mistakes? Pupil: No! Class: No! Oh, no. Not much. Teacher tunes in on broadcast of daily History lesson. Announcer: This broadcast comes to you through the courtesy of Class 1930-A at their 10th annual reunion. The Secretary is reporting on the most eventful year in the history of the old M. H. S. building. Ladies and gentlemen of the radio audience: I will first try to recall to you that dear old Alma Mater of ours. The age-worn brick of the building gave a benevolent and welcome appearance to the intelligent students of that era. However, upon entering, one had to stop and blink his eyes in order to accustom himself to the gloom of the passages. With hands outstretched we groped our way along the corridors to our home rooms. For this we gratefully joined in the prayers before classes. Then there was the dangerous climbing of harmless looking, but disastrous, stairs. The grooves in the stairs were made by those who, martyrs as they were, received bumps on various parts of the anatomy. Lucky were those students who managed to take geometry with “Batch”, for every once in a while that former resident of the wide open MALDONIAN spaces would open the windows to admit some fresh, pure, invigorating air. If other teachers, who wondered why their classes were stupid had followed the same method, then Joe Tupper would have certainly resigned. And that wonderful two by four gym, which was used mainly by the Junior High School classes, and for a hall at various socials. Even then the sweaty athletes had to go up to the Library or in the assembly hall to take their showers, which worked only on rainy days. It is due to the untiring efforts of those who struggled ahead of you— that you—blessed children, are now seated in such a wonderful, marvelous, spacious, modern, up-to-date High School. The entrance of our class into the ranks of Seniors marked a wonderful year in the History of Malden High School. The school was privileged to have a State Championship Girls’ Basket¬ ball Team and Boys’ Track Team. (First) (Two girls posing—forward and guard) Later in the semester of Class VII, our M. H. S. Band and Orchestra participated in the State Music Contest at Newton and (because several of the members of our class were in both the band and orchestra) they won second prize for the band and third prize for the orchestra. (Second) (Three players with instruments.) At an important class meeting our officers were elected for the Senior year. Pres. C. Hill, Vice-Pres. E. Gay, Sec. Ruth Knowlton, Treas. B. Cush¬ man. Our unusual class also decided to present a play some time in Class Eight to defray graduation expenses. (Third) (Class officers about table) The ability of our class was clearly shown when Charles Hill, president of the Senior class, was elected Mayor of the City of Malden for Boys’ Week. We were also represented in the City Government by five other members of our most brilliant class. The greatest honor paid our class occured March 29, 1929 when twelve (12) of our classmates were selected as members of the National Honor Society. Up to that time the largest number from any class to be repre¬ sented had been six. (Fourth) (Several members of National Honor Society taking pledge.) On May 23, 1929 the social event of the season took place. We ten¬ dered a reception to Class Eight and put on an original program, followed by excellent dancing in the gym. Of course we were dismissed at the un¬ heard of hour of 11.10, but then that was not our fault. The orchestra was playing the St. Louis Blues and we simply had to stay and finish out the dance. (Fifth) (Fellow and girl dancing) After an enjoyable summer, spent in resting? we returned for our last semester at M. H. S. (Sixth) (Fellow fishing) The year opened in a blaze of glory, with our Football team, led by the fieet-footed Capt. Sam Fishman, completing an undefeated season. B. HyiVii W MALD0N1AN Lapidus, Suvalsky, R. Hill, Chas. Hill, and Bob Bolton backed up Sammy in the wonderful campaign. (Seventh) (Football team in huddle.) On November 1st our Senior Play was presented at the Malden High School Hall. The next day’s News Headlines read “Bachelor Hall” a great success. (Eighth) (Guy Steeves in embrace with Evelyn Smith.) The Year Book Staff was elected as soon as school started with Isaac Fishman as Editor-in-Chief. (Ninth) (Ike at a desk scratching his head) During the first half of December, the honor parts for graduation were announced. Isaac Fishman, salutatorian, Elinor Gay, valedictorian, and Bernard Cushman, orator, were the recipients of these coveted awards. After Christmas, the following were chosen by their classmates for the parts in the class day program: Orator, Harrison Davis; Prophets, R. Lapi¬ dus and R. Percival Wilder; Historians, Helen Goldman and Sam Fishman; Will, Sadie Pansky. With the beginning of breaking our resolutions for the New Year, came the last social event in our history at M. H. S. On a chilly Friday evening, January 10, 1930, we gathered at the High School to see the teachers act as human beings. Boy, what talent in our faculty. They sang, danced, and even cracked jokes—(without a hammer) to give us the best entertainment of our careers. After the minstrel per¬ formance, we adjourned to the ball room down in the cellar to enjoy re¬ freshments and dancing, “O tempore, 0 mores”. Even with all the teachers as chaperons, we left at 11.17 P. M. Friday evening, January 24, 1930, we were tendered a reception by class seven at the usual place. They put on an excellent program in the hall to start the evening. Then the fun began. The gym proved woefully inadequate to support those eager to dance—comfortably. All who wore new shoes certainly had them broken in when the evening was over. The gym was prettily decorated to add to the gayety of the party. It was a pleasure to get rid of the ice cream and cookies, and no one got two help¬ ings. But all things must finally come to an end, and the usual hour found us leaving our last social at M. H. S. behind. (Teacher turns off the radio and turns to the class and they applaud.) Teacher: All right. Now just one or two more questions, Class. What is the happiest event in a Senior’s life? Class: Graduation Day! Teacher: Then, what is the saddest event in a Senior’s life? Class: Graduation Day! Teacher: Well, I can’t figure you Seniors out, but there’s the bell. (Cow bell) (Elaas Jfruphmj Robert David Lapidus and Roland Percival Wilder My dear friends, we see in the year nineteen hundred and forty-five Lyman B. Allen Jr., Master Magician and successor to Houdini. People are still wondering how he made his remarkable escape from the Malden High School. To be sure, in our dear homestead, Malden, we have Bunny Armour, president of the purity league of Belmont Hill. Walter Blake, her next door neighbor, who has recently been posing for Arrow Collars, has re¬ marked that her serving in this capacity has interfered tremendously with the poker games of the neighborhood. The twin Boyles, Martin and James, are the proprietors of a mam- mouth boiler works. Those bashful, blushing little twins have placed the credit for their success on their brawny foreman, Vera Graham, who, they claim, can juggle a three-hundred pound boiler in either hand without winking an eyelid. For a moment let us travel abroad where we find Wilbur Bigelow Commander-in-Chief of the Swiss heavy artillery. Because of his fine training in the Boys’ Glee Club, he was able, by his horrible yoddeling, to terrify and put to flight the Russian Imperial Forces, led by the Archduke, Stephen Gelenian. It has been discovered that the Rev. Harrison E. Davis is a Missionary in East Africa. He has taken with him Charles Cullen, the noted lion- tamer. What the Reverend cannot do, he’ll leave to the lion-tamer. As we get back to good old U. S. A. we see none other than Oisa Flashman in his thirty-six cylinder Rolls Royce, designed by Bessie Dubin and Helen Goldman, Master Mechanics. Being interviewed by Walter Doherty, reporter for the ‘ News”, the modest Oisa places the whole cause J MALD0N1AN of his success on his experience of selling feathers and suits at Malden High.” Eli Chiat is said to be the proprietor of a huge bakery. He is always “in the dough” now. His two most efficient loafers are Barney Karras and Leo Connolly. Joseph Gilefsky has recently received the appointment as Professor of English at Robert’s Academy. He has two apt pupils in Eli Feldman and Charles Dewey. Isaac Brodsky has formed the Suffolk pool. “Once entered, you are sunk forever”. To be sure, our own little Elinor Gay has become a Latin teacher at the Saugus School for the deaf and dumb. Elinor has keyed her pupils up to a most acute pronunciation. She was recently interviewed by Dick Clay- bourne, who is employed by the Palmolive Soap Co. to make a tour of the girls’ colleges to advertise that school-girl complexion. The three Green girls, Helen, Esther, and Celia, have recently opened up the “Green Room Night Club.” They were very fortunate in being able to hire Ike Glaser to wind up the eight day clock. However, because the job was too strenuous, Ike has given it up, and is now tearing the pages from the calendars once a month. In the Dowling Building, now owned by Gladstone and Blythe, “The Real Estate Co. with the Smile,” Mopie Hill holds his school for aesthetic dancing. His best dancers are Gladys Hershoff and Gladys Hanifan. Earl Cefrey has recently retired from business with millions to his credit. He bought up lots along Spot Pond, that he turned into parking spaces. After making a huge sum, he sold out his thriving business to Rose Grant and Goldie Caswell. Incidently, Charlie Hill, Master Mechanic and inventor, has just pa¬ tented an invention which will be a great aid to the fair sex. He has put on the market electric roller skates, which he claims have front wheel driving power and can accelerate from a standstill to thirty miles per hour, downhill. Robert Jackson, prominent apple merchant, has brought about the vexation of his life-long friend Dr. Harold Johnson. Jackson owes his success and his friend’s downfall to his able advertising managers, Marjorie Guilfoyle and Grace Huckins, who claim that “an apple a day keeps the doctor away; a bushel ought to paralyze him”. At the Granada Theatre, now finally owned by Paul Conway and Her¬ bert Willcox, there is a fine program. Sylvia Hillson has the leading part in an all-talking picture. There are none that can outdo this brilliant blonde in talkies. Eleanor Hartnett stars in the “Broadway Flapper”. The headlines in vaudeville are Elroy Halfrey and Fannie Gventer, who put on a unique act. Gene Connolly has just gone through a most successful season as coach at Malden High. Gene has a unique way of getting his Chargers in the MALDONIAN proper fighting spirit before the games. Instead of the customary fight talks, Gene recites “Gilhooley Running for Representative” and “Mrs. Murphy’s Chowder”. The results are remarkable. Goldie Hyde is the proprietor of a huge stock yard and tanning works. His Honor Bernard Cushman, now mayor of Malden, after a struggle of two years, has finally convinced the citizens that Malden needs a new high school. Because of “Bernie’s” good work the finest high school in America is now under construction by the Groman and Bogus Building Co. Little Minnie and Sarah are progressing splendidly. Hal Holzberg and Saul Fisher are working for the National Biscuit Co., feeding the animal crackers. Hymie “Flash” Horwitz, the well known tennis champion, has recently defeated the French champion, thus bringing the title back to the U. S. A. Mollie Coggan has also won her laurels in the tennis world. Anne Goodman and Mildred Jadis have been the stenographers at the Malden Savings Bank, of which Clifford Crawford was President, and Charlie Cohen, Vice-President; two reasons which caused the failure of the bank. Berma Carter, renowned pianist, has recently finished a world-wide concert tour in the area of Stoneham, Wakefield, and Cliftondale. Her booking agents, Irene Fitzgerald and Mary Fletcher, have arranged for Miss Carter to make a return engagement at Malden High. It has been rumored that Peg Coffey is a toe-dancer. Florence Jacob¬ son, dance critic, claims that she can certainly “put on the act.” Rolie Wilder, prominent dentist, is progressing wonderfully with his profession. He claims that when he is through with you, your teeth are like stars—because they always come out at night. Sammie Fishman has recently been appointed football coach at Dart¬ mouth. The directors of the college, however, are in a rather embarrassing situation. Sam’s better half, Ike, is teaching English at the institution, and it is rumored that the opticians in the metropolis of Hanover were kept busy day and night, until Ike (with his amusing little laugh) confessed that he was Sam’s twin brother, and that the students had not been seeing double. Tuttle an d Woolfson, Inc., Attorneys at Law, are practicing law in the Dowling Building, and their clients believe that they need still more prac¬ tice. The present case that they are attempting to unravel has particular interest for the Class of ’30-A. Gladys Vogt is sueing George Strobel for breach of promise, and wants $10,000. As it is seen for 1959, an addition to the new high school is being con¬ structed on the estate of Chester Kuehl, a well-to-do hairpin manufacturer, in the East side. Rocco Zampitella is the contractor, with the help of Theodore Nimberg as architect. Under such competent supervision, we have our doubts if this building will last as long as the brick building did on Salem Street. MALD0N1AN Sylvia Steinberg and Evelyn Setlin are the sole proprietors of a coat shop on Pleasant St. and it is said that their bookkeeping training comes in handy in figuring up their liabilities. Virginia Rood is now glad that she trained to be a Latin teacher. She has been offered a job in the new high school and this money will certainly keep her children from the coal-yards. Edwin Rudin is having a difficult task to earn enough money with his poetry and short stories to satiate his family’s love for tid-bits. It seems to be a prosaic age for the appreciation of his genius. Marion Potter is living most comfortably on the income of her latest novel, “The Triangular Love Affair”, a satirical story of the youth of the day. This seems to have met the opposition of Robert Willard, a most successful New York civil engineer, who objects to the use of geometric names for literature and suggests that the name be changed to the “Delta Love Affair”. Evelyn Steeves and Dorothy Reeves have opened a beauty parlor in Malden under the name of “Steeves Reeves, Inc.” Try them once and you’ll agree that no else can ever fix your hair to your satisfaction. Matthew Suvalsky is the highest paid buyer for the United Fruit Co. with private offices in New York and Paris. His motto is “Peaches and song keep your beard long”. Edward Valinsky and Oscar Spector are the owners of a pharmacy in Suffolk Sq. At the time of the brewing of the prophecy, Meyer Yaffee, a wealthy detective with a mustache and flat feet, is bringing suit against them because he found a stone in his ice-cream soda, which resulted in the breaking of two of his false teeth. He is employing as his lawyer the prominent justice of the peace, Abraham Oxman. The only member of the class of 5 30-A who is really making good is Cornelius Rosdahl, who is a prosperous undertaker. Rumor has it that Fred McMahon M. D. is in partnership with him. Evelyn Smith and Janet Park, who became famous on the Malden High school stage, are shaking the light fantastic toe on Broadway in Ziegfeld’s Follies”. Elizabeth Porter is a schoolmistress and is a teacher in the English Department of the new high school. She has to run continuously to Miss Child for advice. George T. O’Mara is now President of the “Narrow River Steamship Company” operating between Saugus Creek and the Revere Marshes. Ruth Knowlton has been appointed private secretary to Walter Nester, who is the principal of the new high school. Rowena Nichols is to open a kindergarten in Linden. It is understood that William O’Farrell will assist her. According to an authentic report, Frank MacDonald has been selected as the police force of Saugus. VV� l MALDONIAN Rhoda Klasky and Pearl Kotzen are the teachers at their own studio of violin instruction near the Everett line. Several times the police have been called, due to the fact that weird noises issuing thence have been mistaken for a murder. From the latest report of the Malden ‘Times”, Frank Ryan has bought out the Strand Theatre. An entirely different type of vaudeville is promised to be shown from now on. Sadie Pansky and Bertha Rosenfeld are telephone operators in the Malden Exchange, which is under the supervision of Albert Reneghan. Guy Steeves and Howard Webster are the owners of a large office building which will tower above the Dowling Building by twenty stories. This is at present under construction on the site of the old high school, under the supervision of Harry Masterton as chief engineer. We are told that Arthur Sederquist is going to be employed as Doorman. They are for¬ tunate to secure Herbert Ridley, the famous interior decorator, who will do the finishing touches on the building. Leonard Levin and Rachel Levy are in business together and are fine custom tailors for both gents’ and misses’ apparel. Their place of business is located in a block of stores owned by Mary Van Deun, a real estate magnate, in Maplewood Square. Ralph Moore is at present starting his third term as Mayor of Linden, which city has severed its relationship with Malden and struck out for itself. Sophie Sprinsky has become famous as the Prima Donna Coloratura Soprano Soloist—and is now singing before all the royalty of Europe. Mildred Libby and Florence MacDonald have received their pilot’s licenses and are now planning a non-stop flight to Egypt to set up a monu¬ ment for Malden High, their Alma Mater. The plane that they are intending to use was invented by Herbert Swett and Jack Zimmerman, two local scientists, and is called “Swet.izim”. At present they are having trouble to make the plane stay in the air, but they hope to have it per¬ fected in time for the flight. Avanelle Proctor has been elected the social adviser of a large girls’ school in New Jersey. The pupils do not seem to be amenable to her ad¬ vice because she sees that they are in by 10 o’clock. The girls were over¬ heard as saying that as a social adviser she’d make a good watchdog. Sarah Shaker now holds a very exalted position as Secretary to the president of the Boston to California Air Transportation Co. Stella Page and Sylvia Wolfe are raising chickens on a farm by means of a new-style incubator placed above the henhouse; when the chicken is done, it is automatically dropped out into the house. The reason for their success in this business is that the machine is all electric and requires no headwork to run it. This work and brain-saving device is the invention of Adeitha Reneghan. Louise Shannon and Myrn Long are in the packing department of a toothpick company, testing them before they go into the boxes. Grace Moore and Mary Lynn are the owners of a woman’s shoe shop in Malden. Their motto is “We both strive and please to keep your feet at ease.” Helen Tingdahl has been sent abroad as a member of the All-American Bowling Team to compete in the Olympics. Ruth Potter is to accompany her for the field hockey tournament. They were surprised to find their old friend Lillian Steinberg at the games, the winner of first place in the discus throw. After the victory of these three, they were entertained at the Ameri¬ can Embassy, where Mary Porter is the private secretary to Thelma Holmgren, the newly appointed ambassador to France. Clarissa Hunting has gone on a hunting trip to Africa with Katherine O’Malley, who sits on the lions to keep them down for photographing. Bob Lapidus has become the head of the Consolidated Butchers As¬ sociation consisting of Morris Co., Armour’s, and Squires. Bob started on the path to fortune by leading the. organization of Fishman, Fenton Lapidus to unheard of profits by selling Christmas trees. 5 V$ W i MALD0N1AN GUaaa UtU Sadie Pansky We, the undersigned Class of 1930-A of Malden High School, County of Middlesex and State of Massachusetts, each of us sever¬ ally and collectively, being of sound and dis¬ posing mind and memory, and realizing that we must part with sundry honors, talents and emotions and take up the task of earning our daily bread, do hereby pronounce this our last will and testament. First. To our headmaster, Thornton Jenkins, we give and bequeath our gratitude for his efforts in guiding our erratic footsteps along the straight and nar¬ row path of knowledge. Second. To our beloved Faculty, we would tender a vote of thanks for their many kindnesses, mercies, and exhibitions of pity, of which we have been the recipients. Because of this we do hereby bequeath the fond memories of our most brilliant class. Third. To our school, we leave records of the highest order both scholastically and athletically. Fourth. To the Class of 1930-B, we bequeath our dictatorship, to¬ gether with all the privileges and duties which are connected with the name “Seniors”. Furthermore, we give them the privilege of marching into assembly, two by two and occupying the seats (?) and standing room of balcony recently vacated by us—especially those of Room 124; also we desire them to do all in their power to help fill the vacancy left by us in the hearts of the faculty members. Fifth. To the forthcoming young Juniors we bequeath a smile and the watchword “Follow Us”. Sixth. We wish to inform the Sophomores of the meaning of their name—“wise fools”. Seventh. Class of 1932-A, we bid them a fond farewell and we hope that they have profited by the excellent example of the Class of 1930-A. Eighth. To the embryonic Class of 1932-B, we leave our class colors the Green and White, with the hope, that by so doing, we may inaugurate the custom of every senior class handing its colors down to the freshman class. SyIV� ' 4 4, MALDONIAN Ninth. A few special valuables are hereby bequeathed as follows: To the pupils of M. H. S. the right to fill in the vacancies left by us on the Blue and Gold Staff. To Mr. Goodreau, a winning football team. To our well known Mr. Charles (?) Matthews, a college division that knows something about mathematics. To the worthy members of Class Seven, the brains of Elinor Gay, Isaac Fishman, and Bernard Cushman. Last, but not least, we consign to Mr. Edwards and John the stray paperwads we have so liberally scattered around the school building for the past three years. We hereby appoint Mr. Larsen and Mr. Nash executors of this, our last Will and Testament and revoke all former Wills. IN WITNESS WHEREOF: We do hereby set our hands and seal, this, the thirty-first day of January, in the year of our Lord, one thousand nine hundred and thirty.

And now came this unique program to top all. There in front of the drawn curtains were Charlie Hill (class presi¬ dent) and Howard Webster, as Mr. Jenkins, arguing the pros and cons of having an assembly for class day. So much opposition had come from the teachers of the school over the lost time out of classes that Charlie had hard work, and finally had to be content with guiding his visitors (the stu¬ dent body) through the various class rooms. Thereupon the curtains rose upon a history class. Helen Goldman as the teacher and a group of seniors headed by Sam Fishman, as pupils, pre¬ sented the class history in a most entertaining manner. The high spot of this presentation was the use of silhouettes to illustrate high lights in the careers of the graduating class, such as the senior reception, election of the year book staff, etc. Then we were escorted to an English class studying MacBeth. To our delight the famous witch scene was presented to us with Dick Claybourne, Harry Masterton, and Gene Connolly as the three witches. In their cauldron was boiled our class prophecy, which was drawn forth and read by our class prophets, Bob Lapidus and Roland Wilder, to the great en¬ joyment of the audience at the witty parodies on the Seniors. Now was a law class presented to our view, and Sadie Pansky in the guise of a Judge, with cap, grown and wig, and all the fixings, proclaimed in stentorian tones the last will and testament of the class of ’30A. Just before this class was dismissed, a messenger entered with the news that the principal had at last consented to an assembly which would take place immediately. Next upon the scene appeared Howard Webster, alias Mr. Jenkins, who introduced Charlie Hill as president of the graduating class. After a short speech of welcome, Charlie acted as official introducer and, after the Over¬ ture played by the Orchestra, he presented as speaker of the day, Harrison Davis, class day orator. Harrison held forth in great style, discoursing on Classical Mythology, brought up to date, and applicable to Malden High School. Who would have suspected it? His speech drew a hearty applause. Then the Girls’ Semi-chorus sang a very pleasing number. As representative of our class, our president closed the assembly with presenting the gifts to the school and teachers, this time to Mr. Jenkins in person. Uuique! Indeed! And thoroughly enjoyed by all. MALDONIAN FACULTY RECEPTION After a warm informal reception by Mr. Jenkins, various lordly Seniors and childish Teachers who had gathered in the Assembly hall on Friday evening, the tenth of January, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and thirty. Upon the stillness of the night there broke the rattle of bones and the tingle of tambourines. As the curtain parted and slid to right and left, a scene of a semi-circle of singing teachers presented itself. The feature of this opening chorus, “The End of the Road,” was a dainty scarf dance performed by Miss Child and a pail. Such jokes as Mr. Blair and “Sambo” Taylor, the colored of our show, flung at Mr. Hall! But he had a snappy repartee himself! “Cleopatra” Gerke next strutted her stuff, with a beautiful contralto voice, crooning “My Song of the Nile.” Octavia and Edmund next did a flirtatious specialty called “If I had a Talking Picture of You.” Mr. Goodreau had to be reminded several times of the presence of his wife in the audience. But still, how could any man resist the temptations of these lovely misses, not school marms, who were dressed in rustling black and white costumes. Then, too, Mr. Goodreau looked like some shiek!! All our sympathy is with Miss Lane. Her plaintive lament “Am I Blue” made us weep copiously and caused us to desire a tablecloth (like hers) to dry our tears. Sambo Taylor and Miss Abbott, “petite danseuse,” in the next num¬ ber went “tip-toeing through the tulips” under a large umbrella. Miss “John” Gilbert sang very delightfully “I’m Just A Vagabond Lover.” It seems that Miss Moore is the girl of her dreams. Poor little Miss Ireland sitting up there, her feet on a stool! Don’t you pity her for her unrequited love? And all the others, too, who succumbed to Miss Gilbert’s charm! Piccolo Pete (Miss Slattery) and Miss Helene Moore, our beloved ad¬ visor, entertained with an amusing parody on “Piccolo Pete.” “Sunny Side Up” and a medley ended this delightful program, which Miss Varnam so well prepared for us. In the “gym”, well-known for difficulties in both decoration and dancing, what a beautiful sight our eyes beheld! Blue and white crepe paper and scenes in blue and white laid a beautiful setting. To the right of the “gym” was the impressive receiving line composed of Mr and Mrs Jenkins, several members of the school committee, Miss Chapin, president of the teachers’ club, the senior home room teachers, the Misses Slattery, Herrick, and Norris, and the Senior Class adviser-—-our own Helene Moore. Opposite the entrance was stationed Earle Greene’s orchestra to whose peppy music dancing was enjoyed the entire evening. Another feature of the evening was the grand march led by Miss Chapin and Mr. Larsen and directed by the inimitable Miss Varnam. f 1 MALDONIAN m ' • ' 0 0 Refreshments—and plenty of them—were enjoyed. Then followed the elimination dance won by Abraham Oxman and Ruth Knowlton. Dancing continued until the late hour of 11:20 when all wended their weary way homeward. Our thanks is due to the committee in charge consisting of: Miss Whittum, chairman, Miss Varnam, program, Miss Wetmore, decorations, Miss Evelyn Moore, dancing and Miss Dyer, refreshments. SENIOR RECEPTION The evening of Friday, January 24, will ever be a memorable one to the Class of ’30-A, for it was the night of the last school social for the graduating class—the senior reception tendered by the Class of ’30-B. We were warmly welcomed by the president of Class 7, John Haley. An enjoyable and entertaining musical program by the Class Seven Orchestra, with Henry C. Britton as conductor, pleased the Seniors who enthusiastically applauded for encores. A one-act play entitled “Jazz and Minuet” topped the program with an excellent performance by Elizabeth Ray, Virginia Schofield, Charles Gates, Frances Lawlor, and John Egan. To the strains of “El Capitan” as rendered by the orchestra, the as¬ semblage hastened to the “gym” to see what more pleasure was in store. First, the Seniors were received by a reception line composed of the presidents and advisers of both classes. Then dancing (if moving about in the midst of over two hundred persons in the narrow confines of our “gym” can be termed dancing) was enjoyed—was interrupted for the pleasures of grand march and refreshments—and continued until the too swift time brought the eleventh hour and regretful farewell. Sylvi ' Wpl- Sv OUTING—A LA IMAGINATION Bernard Cushman A cold, clear January day ruthlessly thrust itself on a group of 100 or so shivering, shimmering, sophisticated seniors under the leadership of Harry Masterton, Gene Connolly and Minnie Bogus. A squadron of ten of Holden’s de Luxe buses reported at exactly 8:00 and were promptly in¬ vaded by the eager seniors. With the strains of the band playing “Good¬ bye Forever”, and amid the wails of the remainder of the school children who had been allowed to wave a fond farewell, we started. No sooner did we reach Maplewood Square, the first stage on our long journey, than one of the buses had a blow out. On searching for the cause of this accident, we found out that George Fenton had been hiding in the rear of the bus and that his weight had been too much for the tire. So George was sent back to school where he belonged and we proceeded mer¬ rily on our way. The rest of the journey was uneventful except for a few of Harrison Davis’ well known practical jokes. Finally, we neared the end of our long journey. As we entered the mighty metropolis of Revere we were met by a brass band and the entire group of the humble citizens of Revere. “Hail to the Class of 1930-A”, they shouted. “Viva Charlie Hill! Viva Sam Fishman.” Stiff and tired from our long ride, we all clambered out of the buses and dashed down to the waterfront. There we noticed that all the stores had been closed and a general holiday proclaimed because of our advent. All the roller coasters, etc. were open for our use free of charge. Immed¬ iately we took possession of the roller coasters, and while riding on the Cyclone, Abe Oxman forgot to hold on and to our horror, slipped out and fell, fell, fell. There was a sinking sensation in our hearts, but soon all was quiet on the western front for when Abe struck the ground, head first, he had such momentum, and such striking qualities that he bounced back up, up, up and landed in his old seat as if nothing had happened. Ike Fishman had all he could do to keep Miss Moore in her seat in the roller coaster. She would not subside, but would insist on making Ike sit with her in the front seat, and how Ike loves the roller coaster! And she was supposed to be our chaperon. While I was riding, between thrills, I noticed to my amazement, that the fair mermaids Elinor Gay and Marion Potter had braved the icy deep and started to frolic in the water, and the rest were not long in following their example. While they were swimming, Jack Zimmerman and Herbie Swett came by in a motor boat and assured the group that they would have plenty of fish caught in time for dinner if the crowd would see to digging the clams. Their efforts not meeting with success the class was forced to patronize the stands along the beach. One of the most exciting events was a race between Johnny Matthews and Laura Varnam to see which could juggle and consume, the fastest, three hot dog sandwiches, one sticky apple and two ice cream cones. The MALDONIAN race was never finished due to intervention of Mr. Jenkins, reminding them that the next day was not Saturday and school did keep. It is rumored that Virginia Rood made such a hit with the ticket taker that we know of at least 13 times in succession, she received the brass ring on the Merry-go-round. Dick Claybourne since the outing has difficulty keeping his eyes from crossing, a malady which he acquired by looking at himself in all the fun¬ ny mirrors in the Pit. By the time he finished, Dick couldn’t even rec¬ ognize himself. It was very difficult to persuade Sam and Bob to leave the beach for they were having a lengthy and serious discussion as to the possibility of using some of the sea weed for Christmas decorations—the sale of trees having proved so profitable. But Roly Wilder’s insistent urge that they come up and try the Virginia Reel and spin around on the Whip, proved too enticing, so they decided to leave next Christmas profits to the sad sea waves and join the class activities. As all the attractions at the beach were free, it is unnecessary to state that they were all well patronized and it is rumored that even Jeff Davis was said to have admitted that he would try anything once. Many other incidents took place but finally, before we realized it, dark¬ ness came upon us, and we once more piled into the buses and set out on our long journey home. While we were going home, Pearl Kotzen burst into tears, and began to sing “What’s it all about?” So our journey ended and as the horn played taps, we all left the buses in front of our famous school and meandered homeward. SENIOR OUTING AT WINCHENDON As near eight o’clock as possible, four busses started for Winchendon, leaving envious students gazing sorrowfully out at the lucky Seniors. Upon our arrival, we started for sleds, toboggans, skiis, or skates, thus whiling away the time amid oodles of snow, which stuck to our clothes from both natural and other sources. Mishaps included various cuts on the countenance of Miss Moore, sea-sickness for Ruth Knowlton, and a broken leg for Bernard Cushman. Dancing to the tunes made by Rachel Levy, ping-pong, golf, and horse¬ shoes constituted before-dinner sports. The dinner-gong brought a rush for tables. Noise-makers and caps, mixed with cheers and turkey were followed by another exodus to the snow, while a few stayed in to amuse “The Invalid”, alias Bernard Cushman. The same busses started with us for home at four o’clock and arrived in Malden Square between 6.45 and 7.45 P. M. “A good time was had by all.” It was an unforgetable day. Syivi w O 3 O 0 ■ ? ) )3 • 3 SENIOR PLAY On November 1 the Class of 30-A skillfully presented that amusing- comedy, “Bachelor Hall”. A goodly audience was in attendance, the class seven orchestra pleasingly entertained with selections between acts, Lyman Allen presented his Houdini act, attractive Senior usherettes served candy at intermission, the cast, finely coached by the able Miss Ammann, was at its best!—all this contributed to a Senior Success. Let us review the play. The curtains are drawn upon a room in Mr. Myrtleton’s home, which is luxuriously furnished but quite disorderly with objects lying about the room to be used in the play, “The Fatal Shot”. We are soon informed that Betty Vance, the heroine, is engaged to a handsome sailor, Jack Meredith, but unlike most sailors he has only the one sweet¬ heart in the port of “Bachelor Hall”! With the characteristic ingenuity of a lover he pretends to be the make-up man and enters by the window as only the make-up man can and thereby arouses the suspicions of Pinkerton Case, the Sherlock Holmes of the play. By “deduction” Case arrives at the conclusion that Jack has stolen the missing bonds which are entrusted to Mr. Myrtleton by Silas Jervis and Elisha Bassett. When these two con¬ stituents arrive, Mr. Myrtleton is greatly distressed, trying to keep from them the fact that the bonds have been stolen. The real tragedy comes in the morning when Mr. Myrtleton discovers that a report of the play has been published in the paper against his wishes. At this time Case is ac¬ cused of reporting it and is therefore arrested by policeman O’Rourke. In addition to this, the bonds are found in his pouch attached to his costume. He is the villain until Betty innocently explains that she put the envelope into his pocket for use in the play, and until Meredith confesses that he is the reporter. The play happily ends when Mr. Myrtleton consents to the marriage of Jack and Betty. o o o Vi f e r c f e.c IMALDONIAN FOR YOUR SOUP Bernard Cushman A is for B is for C is for D is for E is for F is for G is for H is for I is for J is for K is for L is for M is for N is for 0 is for P is for Q is for R is for S is for T is for U is for V is for W is for X is for Y is for Z is for Allen, magic’s his meat, Bogus, fair and petite, Claybourne, quiet and fair, Davis, of the serious air, Elinor, in classes she leads all.

Now there was nothing extraordinary about this shanty, except that, like all shanties, it was built of old, ill-matched, unpainted boards and was chiefly used as a storehouse for tools. Yet it did strike my eye and this is the reason: on one side of the shanty askewed sideways was a rough, unfinished board and on that board in black, rude letters were painted these three magic words: “NO HELP WANTED!” Now the foreman of the construction gang (for he had probably painted them) had had a good reason for doing so. Undoubtedly he had been pestered by a large group of laborers who desired work. No openings for them possible, he had resorted to the sign in order to drive them away, thus saving his own profitable time, for which he can be excused. This simple incident in a pedestrian’s career, while harmless from the contractor’s point of view, does, however, point out a peculiarity in the character of us all which shall some day lead us to ruin. As applied to the contractor it meant unemployment; as applied to us it means ultimate failure. When in the midst of a perplexing problem or in the turmoils of a moral question we turn to those who would help us and exclaim “Hands off! No help needed! I can do this by myself” and like stubborn fools try to settle the question or the problem by ourselves. Is this the way great men achieve their greatness? Does the Presi¬ dent of our country conduct relationships with other countries without the advice of professional diplomats? Can Henry Ford turn out a new auto¬ mobile each year without the help of a trained corps of this kind of scien¬ tists ? If they cannot do without these aids and counsellors, how can we ? Our friends and an unbelievable quantity of books would help us on any variety of subjects. Let us forget our own narrow egoisms and think in larger terms, as independent as possible, yet conscious of the helping hand of friends and books and the Infinite. —Harrison E. Davis. MALDONIAN CREDIT WHERE CREDIT IS DUE Although we M. H. S. students are not overboastful of our clelapidated school building, we may well be proud of our fine faculty. For they teach us not only the knowledge of books, but also worthy lessons of life which are more often remembered to advantage. For example, with his mathematics instructions “Batch” taught us good sportsmanship and logical thinking. To impress upon us the im¬ portance of using our own minds has been the aim of our English teachers. Mr. Nash has taught us attention to detail and the value of a well-trained memory. Furthermore leadership in clubs and classes has given us ex¬ perience in divers matters pertinent to our daily life. And if Mr. Matthews’ and Miss Slattery’s history classes have not become inspired to become ideal citizens,—well—try and find one. Credit should certainly be given where credit is due, and here’s a vote of thanks to our faculty for lessons of invaluable worth. MR. HUTCHINS One sorrowful event just recently occured, which has done consider¬ ably to dampen the usual joy of graduating. It has marked the passing of a man whom we all loved and respected, Mr. John W. Hutchins, who has done so much to elevate the standards of scholarship in our school and in our state. This venerable man, as principal of Malden High School, sev¬ eral years ago had become an outstanding figure among the leading edu¬ cators of the East. Two days before he died, he was elected to an office in the State High School Principals’ Association. Mr. Hutchins was held in the highest respect by his students. So high indeed, was it, that when the National Honor Society was inaugurated in Malden High it was de¬ cided to name it the John W. Hutchins’ Chapter in his honor. The forty odd members of this society have come to know him a bit more intimately than the others of our class, yet his familiar figure is known to us all. With his passing goes one whom we all shall miss, one who leaves a tender remembrance in the hearts of all of us. A Lament on Modern Customs (Wherein the Author Finds Nothing to Crow Over) JAMAICA PLAIN H. S. BOYS ENTERED IN POULTRY SHOW By Leonard L. Schulman, Junior Record Staff Jamaica Plain High School, the only educational institution in Suffolk County with a complete agricultural training course in its curriculum, will be well represented in the Poultry Show at Mechanics Building this week. Our dismay upon reading the above bit of information in a corner of a contemporary journal is not at all difficult to imagine. Nay, more than that, fear, dark and ghastly, clutching at the strings of our heart, forced a chill up our spines that the passing of time has yet been unable to dis ¬ lodge. For consider the attendant evils, classmates, if the practice of en¬ tering high school boys in poultry exhibits should become an institution. 0 tempora, 0 mores. Mark well my words, it is but a step to the cat show, another to the dog show, a third to the horseshow, and a fourth ill-placed footstep to the horticultural exhibition. And we, certainly, could never look another soul in the face again if a fellow townsman of ours should win first prize as an apricot or a kippered herring. Harbinger of ill-tidings tho we be, partici¬ pation in such competitions must be discouraged if the youth of the land expect to become respectable, God-fearing citizens. We do not base our objections upon any moral grounds nor would we voluntarily undertake to swing this great crisis toward former conditions were we influenced by petty jealousy of Jamaica Plain’s initiative in de¬ parting from the orthodox. To be frank, an analytical attack would fail to disclose a single impressive reason why the boys were not justified in doing as they did. Yet there is a certain fundamental element in the composition of most men—pride, if you will—that would force them to turn pale even at the thought of competing with a duck for a blue ribbon. It is not that we are undemocratic but certain standards, we feel, should be preserved if our social order is expected to function. Leaving the ethical side of the question, it seems rather incompre¬ hensible to the layman’s eye how so much in common between poultry and mankind enables a contest to be practicable. While we offer but slight objections to encaging a man, tacking a card over the coop, and placing him beside a bantam rooster for a comparative judge of merits, anatomical differences would seem to render all a bit useless. We freely admit our ignorance regarding the strong and weak points of fowl, but to see a healthy young male attempting to cockle-doodle-doo-tsk, tsk. The whole theory is bound to be a trifle disconcerting when an attempt is made to put it into execution. If a young chap fails to place against three Rhode Island Reds, imagine his embarrassment, and with smoking pro¬ hibited at Mechanics Building what are his chances of appearing non¬ chalant. On the other hand if he should win the first prize, it would show that he was a more perfect hen than the hen itself which should set him no more at ease than the initial case. That, too, according to Freud, constant proximity to a flock of geese would—but who’s interested, anyhow. Edwin H. Rudin MALDONIAN Pertaining- To William Edwin H. Rudin Quite naturally, people associate William Shakespeare with books, plays, and other men of letters. That is well known. But how many of you little folks know that this same William Shakespeare once held a high position in Malden High School? Ah, ha, so you didn’t know that! Nev¬ ertheless, it’s a fact. To be more specific, Shakespeare’s favorite sanctum was the library, where he held sway for years. Not that he still holds sway; alas, Bill has gone sub umbras. Why has he gone? Who knows. Perhaps the intermittent leakings from the library disturbed his haughty spirit. Perhaps he was not in¬ terested in conciliating with America; perhaps he didn’t like Burns. At any rate, the dust gathers upon the empty throne; the spiders spin on the regal crown. The winds were howly, they were shrieky. In the lib’ry things were leaky, An’ the windows, they were squeeky, Up above. On the shelves the busts were talking, Poe and Scott were loudly squawking, And none knew death was stalking Brother Bill. Bill was saying “You were dubs To put your Jack upon the Cubs” As he flashed a flush of clubs To take the pot. Percy Shelley won’t agree, And the room is rocked with glee. E’en the windows on the lee Side, start to roar. Bill’s old veins and blood gets froze. “Boys, just one red, blushing rose, If that damn’ window ever goes That’s up above”. Then each face turns deathly pale. Each one listens to the gale, As that threatening, blustering hail Comes rushing down. MALD0N1AN The old North wind then starts to puff, (Our dear high shod ain’t so tough) And she makes things really rough. On writer Bill. ’Cause that old pane comes rushing in And clips friend Bill right on the chin. What it did was sure a sin, Poor writer Bill. What a perfect headsman’s job Was performed on William’s knob. In fact, the best thing since the bob Of Antoinette. At present, Bill’s no vision. Cause he’s been in a collision. An’ there’s a pretty deep incision On Willy’s neck. But he’d been sitting there an’ gloating Since the ark first started floating. And heard us all his “Hamlet” quoting By the yard. So he deserved all that he got. Tho’ I’d rather have seen him shot, Cause his plays ain’t none too hot, Brother Bill. MALDONIAN Air Minded E. Marion Potter Philip Aldrich, bending over a book concerning aeronautics, looked up and spoke reprovingly to his fifteen year old sister. ‘Diane, you’re not studying.” ‘Smarty!” she returned saucily, tossing her head. ‘‘Who wants to study algebra? I hate it!” “You won’t graduate in June,” he warned. “I will so!” she retorted, rising. “And then,” she remarked with a triumphant note in her voice, “I’m going to high school.” “Like fun you are!” “I am, and I’m going to be a pilot, too, when I’m bigger. Huh, Doug?” Addressing the last to her brother’s chum who had just appeared in the doorway. He looked rather doubtful. “I dunno, Diane.” “Humph! You’re another one of these souls who believes the woman’s place is in the home,” she remarked scornfully, and brushing past him, she made her way out into the cool air of the April night, and wandered through the meadow in the moonlight. Five years had passed; five years which saw a great many changes in New Durham and in Diane. The young lady had gone to high school (down in the city—Cambridge—where her aunt lived) ; she usually did what she wanted to do. After four years in the cit} where, incidentally, she had taken lessons in airplane flying and had obtained a pilot’s license, she re¬ turned to the country village where she became her brother’s partner at the Aldrich Airplane Factory and Flying Field. The foresighted individuals who comprised New Durham’s population had opposed the idea of a flying field from the first. What need, they de¬ manded, had a small town of a landing field! And as for an airplane factory—! For four years Philip had struggled along in spite of criticism, arguing that a flying field half way between Farmington and Alton was indeed an asset to the community. And during the four years the only one who did not scorn his work, his father not excepted, was Douglas Lovering, his pal. Doug was spoken of by the mocking inhabitants as “The Lone Pilot”, earn¬ ing the title because of the fact that he was the Aldrich Flying Field’s one and only pilot. And then at the end of the fourth year came Diane, with an education and a pilot’s license—equally precious in her mind. To say that New Durham disapproved of Diane would be to put it mildly. They were horrified! A great deal it worried the young lady! She talked to Phil and Doug like a “Dutch Uncle”, telling them they ought to be ashamed to let a “bunch of weakminded zebras” walk all over them. 1V� 4 Wol-yt. 11 MALDONIAN For a year the work went as smoothly as could be expected. Two airplanes had been sold to private individuals living at the Weirs. Phil and the workmen were now working on a plane for the government. “The Blazer” (for that was its name) was Phil’s pride and delight. Nearly completed, it certainly was a handsome craft, painted in a brilliant orange. Even New Durham had shown its admiration and given due praise, with the exception of Gordon Lyons. Gordon had no use for airplanes, less still for Phil Aldrich, and pos¬ itively hated Doug Lovering. The reason, of course, was jealousy. He was jealous of Phil because he owned the factory that everyone acknowledged was going to make Philip rich some day. And he was jealous of Doug be¬ cause—well, because Doug was the accepted friend of the family, the pilot for the Aldrichs—and most important, worked where his time could be spent in the company of Diane. If Diane was the object of disapproval of New Durham, she was also the goal of the desires of its young men. Gordon was not the only one who wanted her hand, but he was the only one who had asked for it. She had rejected him gently when her surprise had disappeared enough so that she found breath to answer. Love was the last thought in Diane’s head these days—much to Doug’s dismay. He hoped that someday—but what was the use of hoping! Diane’s feelings and states of mind were something no-one would vouch for. “Doug!” exclaimed Diane about ten o’clock one May night, “I challenge you to a race!” “A race? Where? When?” “In the air—now, of course, Goosie!” “Don’t be nuts, Diane,” said Phil, not really believing she meant what she had said, however. She tossed her head in characteristic fashion. “Well, I meant it. And if you’re afraid to go—” turning to Doug, “why I’ll go alone.” “My bonnie lassie, is it from your gentle lips such accusations fall?” he demanded, his eyes twinkling. “Lead on, Oh Guinevere!” He turned toward Mr. Aldrich. “Don’t worry, Sir, I’ll take care of her.” “Like fun,” she called back over her shoulder as she darted from the house. A twenty minute ride in the roadster brought them to the Flying Field. “You know, Diane, I think there’s something wrong with Black Beauty; you’d better come in my plane,” remarked Doug, hoping that Diane would consider his plan. “Black Beauty is well-groomed, Sir,” she replied mischievously. “You must go your way, and I will go mine,” in a mock-dramatic voice. “I wish you wouldn’t say that, Diane. I wish—I wish—” he mur¬ mured in confusion. “Doug, look out!” she gasped. “ wish you’d look where you’re going. You needn’t take the factory for a ride. Ah, here we are—and there’s my little Black Beauty. Oh, what a night for flying!” M0 o —m “What a night for—but Doug’s low words were wasted in the air, for Diane was already aboard Black Beauty. For perhaps half an hour each could hear the whir of the other plane’s motor, but suddenly Diane awoke to the fact that the friendly whir of Doug’s plane had ceased. But before she could think anything further, her gaze was attracted by something far below. Bright, lashing flames rose toward the skies, and whipped onward with merciless speed, spreading destruction through the great forest. A forest fire! “Doug! Douglas!” she screamed into the night air, subconsciously realizing that her voice could not penetrate above the roar of the motor. She swooped as near the flaming mass as she dared, then headed di¬ rectly toward the Flying Field, hoping against hope that Doug would be there. He was not. Neither had he been there at all. In a semi-conscious daze, Diane ran to the post office, rang the fire gong, and telling the men who gathered that there was a forest fire, sent them on their way. She paced the road restlessly until the last male inhabitant (pre¬ sumably) had departed in his “bucking” Ford. But a few minutes later she looked into Gordon Lyons’ face. “I thought you’d gone to the fire,”—in a toneless voice. “No, I knew you were here, so I stayed to ask you again if—” “Gordon, where do you think Doug is?” she interrupted, turning ap¬ pealing eyes toward him; she had not even heard his speech. Gordon glared at her, a bitter light blazing in his eyes, turned without a word and walked rapidly away. With tears stinging her eyes, she turned in the direction of Alton, and began to walk swiftly toward no particular destination. Finally, some in¬ tuition made her run back toward the factory. When, after several minutes, she came in sight of it, flames were leap¬ ing up from the roof. She dashed with lightning rapidity toward the build¬ ing, uttering a wild cry. She paused but an instant at the edge of the flames. There was “The Blazer” almost within reach of the flames! “The Blazer”—that meant everything to Phil!—The beautiful plane just completed! “It was Gordon!” she cried. “I hate him! I hate him!” Passionately. With no further thought she rushed to the plane just as the flames reached it. The flames caught her jacket. She paid no attention, jumped into the machine wildly. The flames, leaping up now, were scorching her as she struggled with the controls. Just as the sound of the approaching fire apparatus met her ears she fainted. She regained consciousness a few minutes later to find herself in some¬ body’s arms being hurried along very swiftly. She looked up. “Doug”, she murmured weakly. “I—I—where have you been?” MALDONIAN II jl I I “Diane! Thank God you are safe. My dearest!” She looked a little puzzled. “Oh, yes, something did happen. Doug, how about “The Blazer?” “ ‘The Blazer’ is 0. K.,” he smiled, gazing into her face. “Am I hurt¬ ing you? Am I walking too fast?” She did not reply to his questions except to smile. “You didn’t tell me where you had been.” “That’s right, I didn’t. Well, I saw the forest fire, then I beat for Alton to see if I could get help, as there is no fire apparatus in New Dur¬ ham. I tried to get your attention, but failed.” “My heart failed when I thought perhaps you had dropped into that mass of flames.” “Did it?” he queried joyously. “I hope you have more heart attacks | i in the future.” She answered nothing, and with an anxious look at her, the young man I I hastened up the steps of the nearest house. The next morning he made an early call to find that Diane was in bed, well bandaged. She smiled cheerfully. “I’ll be flying again next week.” He shook his head. “No more airplanes for you, young lady.” Her face took on its stubborn look. “Don’t kid yourself. You’re not going to order me around.” “No, but don’t forget—I’m going to be the boss in our house.” He grinned joyously as he disappeared. HONOR SOCIETY The Malden High School chapter of the National Honor society was founded just two years ago. It was named in honor of John W. Hutchins, formerly one of the best beloved and well known teachers of the school. Admission to this select group is based upon character, scholarship, leader¬ ship, and service. Membership in the National Honor Society is regarded as the greatest honor that can be bestowed upon a student; it is valued above an athletic captaincy or class office. Since the standards for admission are so high, it is no wonder that so few Seniors (for this honor is restricted to Seniors) attain this goal. How¬ ever, the Class of ’30-A has the greatest number of members, who are as follows: Bernard Cushman, Harrison Davis, Isaac Fishman, Samuel Fish¬ man, Elinor Gay, Charles Hill Jr., Ruth Knowlton, Robert Lapidus, Marion Potter, Avanelle Proctor, Matthew Suvalsky, and Roland Wilder. Vi W u t Jn ilkuumaw John Wesley Hutchins Formerly Head Master of Malden High School In whose honor the John W. Hutchins Chapter was named. January 15, 1930 BLUE AND GOLD Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the famous school paper, the Blue and Gold (or is it Glue and Bold?). The snappiest paper in all the land presents before you its loyal band. This crew under John Haley, editor-in-chief, has carried the boat to a safe port. The students in the Class of 1930-A who have devoted much of their time to Blue and Gold work will be sorry to leave their duties on its staff. The paper deserves the best of success. Give it your subscription and win another for its new staff. Syivii BOYS’ WEEK IN MALDEN The eighth annual Boys’ Week, which is sponsored by the Rotary Club, was observed during the week of May 12-19. All the boy officials were under the supervision of the regular office¬ holders, but the boys were given plenty of opportunity to learn how the affairs of the municipality are conducted. The newly formed city government enjoyed a memorable day, which will not be soon forgotten by them. Citizenship Day opened new channels in their young minds, to the near future when they will rule. The boys had the honor to visit his Excellency Governor Allen at the State House, and also had the pleasure of greeting his Honor Mayor Cassassa of Revere. The following “officials” managed the city government: Charles F. Hill, Jr., Mayor; Miss Evelyn Louise Anderson, Secretary; Anthony Rea, Police Commissioner; Lloyd Matson, Fire Commissioner; John B. Carr, City Clerk; Samuel Fishman, City Engineer; Eugene Finbar Connolly, City Forester; Walter Edward Doherty, City Messenger; George Hartwell, City Physician; Charles Aston Rossiter, City Solicitor; Carl MacKenna, Clerk of Committees; David D. Walker, City Treasurer; Salvadore Danca, Inspector of Buildings. The Board of Aldermen comprised the following: Chairman of the Board, Anthony Fernald from Ward four; Paul C. Smith, Ward one; Paul Keenan, Ward two; Guy 0. Steeves, Ward three; David McGranahan, Ward five; Robert C. Bolton, Ward six; Julius W. Weiner, Ward seven. The boys who had the honor of serving in their respective offices wish to extend their thanks to the Rotary Club, which is responsible for making this affair a tremendous success. M. H. S. LITERARY SOCIETY The M. H. S. Literary Society, the oldest organization of its kind in the country entered upon its fifty-eighth year under the presidency of Charles E. Carr. The most notable achievement of the semester was the annual “Lit” banquet held on Thanksgiving Eve. The affair was a great success and served the purpose of a reunion for the alumni. The committee in charge of the banquet consisted of Charles A. Rossiter, Charles E. Carr, and Leslie Newman. Another novel feature of the administration was the institution of a discussion program. This gave the members an oppor¬ tunity of expressing their views on various subjects under the guidance of authorities in such matters. The entrance requirements of the society were raised to admit only boys in approximately the first quarter of their classes. “Lit” members were also prominent in the athletic activities of the school. The officers for the semester were as follows: Pres., Charles E. Carr; Vice-Pres., Charles A. Rossiter; Secretary, Leslie Newman; Treasurer, Gordon Heath; Deputy, George Steele; and Pub. Mgr., Bruce Brown. Edwin Rudin and Roland Wilder comprised the executive board. USONA The Usona Society of Malden High School, a well-known and respected organization, has just closed its fifty-second administration. Under the guidance of Mr. John B. Matthews, and under the leadership of its officers: President, Evelyn Smith; Vice-President, Elinor Gay; Secretary, Avanelle Proctor; Treasurer, Marion Potter—Usona has finished a very successful year. As is the custom, we have had several very interesting musical pro¬ grams furnished by our “local talent”. Besides musicians there are also several authors in our midst who have shown their ability to write very interesting short stories. Each year we are fortunate enough to obtain an afternoon’s time of one of our teachers. This season Mr. Perry of the Physics Department gave an instructive and entertaining lecture about color. But Usona Girls are not always so serious. In contrast to the before- mentioned programs several of the Usona members staged a mock trial—a new adventure for the society, for such a thing has not been attempted be¬ fore for some time. At another meeting we had a humorous play, well enacted by our clever actresses. Of course we must not forget to mention the Usona Journal which, if it doesn’t shape our destinies, gives us an idea of what others think we ought to do. Each semester Usona provides a speaker for an assembly. We were very fortunate this year in obtaining Dr. Brookes. The Usona Society wishes success and happiness to its future mem¬ bers, and to the Class of 1930-A. iV t MALDONIAN COG Cog, formally known as the Cognoscendi Causa Society, is now com¬ pleting its seventh year of existence as one of the leading societies of Malden High School. Its principal purpose is to promote debating and public speaking. To further this aim, Cog has, this semester, started a Public Speaking Club, which meets weekly under the direction of Miss Ammann. The great interest aroused in this project resulted in a large membership. Furthermore, Cog presents to the orator of each graduating class an orator’s cup. This cup was this semester presented to Bernard Cushman, an active and well known member of Cog. As the semester closes, the society is busy making plans for that annual forensic event, the Cog Prize Speaking Contest. This classic will take place March 14 under the leadership of John Haley, and promises to be a true success. As usual, the two winning boys will represent Malden at the Colby Contest, at which past representatives have acquitted themselves with honor. Cog is completing a successful semester under the leadership of the following officers: Isaac Fishman, President; John Haley, Vice-President; Milton Silverman, Secretary; Jack Zimmerman, Treasurer; Albert Gold¬ berg, Publicity Manager; and an Executive Board consisting of Sam Fishman, Bernard Cushman, and Myer Weiner. The programs have con¬ sisted of extemporaneous speeches and addresses by members of the faculty. THE MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ENGLISH CLUB The Malden High School English Club is Malden High’s four year old prodigy. Already it has recorded in its short history enough successful events to enable it to take its place among the long-established societies. It combines the intellectual and the social so well that not one of its mem¬ bers fails to reap both benefit and enjoyment from it. This semester’s splendid achievement, the production of Moliere’s “Le Bourgois Gentilhomme” vastly increased the club’s fame and was a notable example of what cooperation under able leadership can accomplish. With every member doing his best and Miss Abbott directing, and Miss Wetmore ever ready to advise, the play could scarcely have failed to be the unques¬ tionable success it was. The work this semester has been carried on with John Haley, presi¬ dent; Charles Carr, vice-president; Anna Power, secretary; John Egan, treasurer; Evelyn Webb, publicity manager; Charles Sullivan, deputy; Mary Madden and Charles Rossiter forming the executive board. With Miss Wetmore as Faculty Adviser and with such loyal members as it has, the club continues to attain its aims of “increasing knowledge and skill in the fields of dramatics, English and debating.” Sylvi THE GREENROOM DRAMATIC SOCIETY On April 1, 1929 a small band of pilgrims (Malden “Highites”), con¬ sidering the grave need of another dramatic organization in our school, formed the Greenroom Dramatic Society. The club, apparently not handi¬ capped by its birth date, has progressed during these few months under such officers as Anthony Rea and Ruth I. Ross, president and secretary respectively during the first adminstration, and during the second adminis¬ tration under the following officers: President, Charles Rossiter; Vice- President, Mary Madden; Secretary, E. Marion Potter; Treasurer, Charles Sullivan. Many interesting programs, usually consisting of the reading or dramatization of a play, have been enjoyed by the members, few in number, but enthusiastic. We have not been in the lime-light much yet, but we must be forgiven because of the fact that we are a new organization. It will not be many administrations, we hope, before the name of our society will be as familiar to the students of Malden High School as several of the time-honored ones now are. We’re just a lively group with the desire to do and to learn. We hope for success for ourselves and for everyone with ambition. The best of wishes for success and happiness to the Class of 1930-A! LE CERCLE FRANCAIS This year, our club has lead a very successful season. The officers are Bernard Cushman, President; Carl Epstein, Vice-President; Elinor Gay, Secretary; Ruth Ross, Treasurer. A lecture, illustrated and given in French by Mile. Gremillot, on Paris was sponsored by the club. Then, too, it had a contest for the best dramatization in French. An assembly in January showed typical plays which the club has as entertainment for the meetings and the songs it sings. The purpose of the club is to arouse interest in the art of speaking French well. It is certainly a worth-while organization, which Miss Berton is aiding. ' WotV 6, SARGENT ART CLUB During- the first part of last semester the Sargent Art Club held its first meeting in Room 422. Wilfred Benson was elected president and Miss Lyon spoke to the club on future activities. The purpose of the club is to form a greater appreciation of art by seeing some of the famous works around Boston. The club has already visited the Museum and also the new wing which contains many interesting objects. The Sargent Art Club plans to carry out its work to a greater extent in the future. ACTIVITIES OF CLASS 7 Class 7 started its busy year with John Haley, pres., Mary Madden, vice-pres., Evelyn Webb, sec., and Charles Carr, treas. We are planning to give the seniors a reception on Jan. 24 and until then many members of our class will be busy preparing for it. We all hope it will be as successful as the party we had last year. Our class has the honor of being the first one in Malden High School to have a class Orchestra. It has done exceedingly well under the direc¬ tion of Henry Britto n and has had several engagements. Besides being a musical class we are also prominent in all the or¬ ganizations of the school. The shining lights are as follows: Charles Carr, pres, of Lit. and also of the Eng. Club, John Haley, editor-in-chief of Blue Gold and pres, of Cog, Charles Rossiter, pres, of the Green Room Dramatic Club, Mary Madden, pres, of Usona, and Morton Hamilton, pres, of the Boys’ Glee Club. Class 7 is also well represented in sports by the following: Track— Capt. “Nat” Cooperstein, George Fenton, Max Weinerman, Hyman Rud- man, and Harry Faerman; Football—George Fenton, “Bob” Bolton, Max Winerman, “O’Bie” O’Brien, and “Pete” Prusak; Basketball—Gordon Heath, Clarence Flashman, and Paul Smith ; Swimming—Harrison Crane, Allen Baker, George Kevorkian, and Richard Evans; Girls’ Basketball— Jeanette Wilder; Girls’ Field Hockey—Jeanette Wilder and Gertrude McClure. ACTIVITIES OF CLASS SIX On October 31, 1929, Class 6 came together, after its temporary dis¬ banding, in the Assembly Hall for the purpose of reorganization. The class voted to have the same oilicers as those of the previous year. The officers were as follows: President Donald McGranahan Vice President . Elise Mellish Secretary . Ida Goliff Treasurer . Albert Goldberg Class 6 was very fortunate in having Miss Abbott, a true friend, to whom it is greatly indebted, as adviser. Contrary to custom, Class 6 did not have a class party, the members of the class voting to the contrary. At the end of the semester, Class 6 received rings, very pretty and approved of by all members of the class. MALDOMAN CLASS FIVE ‘Oh, is the honor roll out? Let me see it, please.” Such a request is always certain to be followed by an exclamation of surprise due to the number by which Class 5, always heading the list, is represented. This su¬ premacy may also be seen in our school paper. On the staff of the Blue Gold there are no less than 6 representatives of this class. We hope to uphold this record. Our class has in no way been backward in athletics, either. Ralph Kranetz, captain of the basketball team, Fred Oliver, winner of the Class B high jump in last year’s state meet, and Hilda and Helen Boehm, the famous tennis stars are members of this class. More have very well rep¬ resented it in these as well as other sports. As Class V organized very recently, there has been no time for a class gathering. An election has been held under the supervision of our class adviser, Mr. Morrill. Fred Oliver was chosen president; Arthur Davis, vice-president; Irving S. Pavlo, sec.; and Hilda Boehm, treas. The Officers are to hold their positions throughout the coming semester. M. H. S. BAND AND ORCHESTRA In September both the band and orchestra were enlarged by the Junior high graduates. Many new instruments have been added. During the football games, the band made a fine showing, especially at Newton and Manchester. At the Everett game the Everett and Malden bands both marched together to the stadium. All musical organizations suffered their greatest loss by the death of Mr. Crowley. He was the conductor of the band and orchestra that won second and third places respectively at the state contest. For three weeks there was no leader but the rehearsals continued. Miss Perkins led the orchestra at the Armistice Day Assembly. Chester Whiting, a graduate of Everett High, succeeded Mr. Crowley. He prepared the band for the Medford game and a banquet given by the Kiwanis Club. At the present he is getting the orchestra ready for gradu¬ ation where they will play the “Calif of Bagdad”. In spite of graduation, not a single member will be lost to the band. Jn iUrmnnam John W. Crowley Band Master and Orchestra Leader Malden High School November 8, 1929 SylVi ' 4 THE BOYS’ GLEE CLUB OF M. H. S. One of the finest congregations of talented singers in the High School is the Boys’ Glee Club. Every boy this year has been tested before enter¬ ing to insure the highest degree of fine singers. Two of the members are also in the roll of the Schubert Club and one other sings with the Civic Choral Union. The officers for this part of the year are as follows: Wilbur W. Bigelow . President Robert Dixon . Vice President Morton Hamilton Secretary-Treasurer John Bassett . Librarian Milton Greenblatt Publicity Manager Herman Carter . Chairman of Entertainment Committee Leslie Newman.Chairman of Voice Committee James Deacon . . Chairman of Rules and Regulations Committee Joseph Lemmo was later made Chairman of Entertainment Committee after the resignation of Carter. The Club, under the able direction of Miss Perkins, plans to enter the annual Glee Club competition in Boston next spring. MALD0N1AN RIFLE CLUB’S MOST SUCCESSFUL SEASON The Malden High Rifle Club enjoys a National as well as a local repu¬ tation. There is an active membership of forty in the club, and these boys are all enthusiastic and interested in their club’s activities. The club officers are: Harold Maclnnis, President, Earle Dickie, Vice President, Carl E. Taylor, Secretary and Treasurer, James Scanlan, Chief Range Officer, George Holland, Asst. Range Officer, and George Trout, Asst. Range Officer. This semester, the Malden High Rifle Club joined the American Legion, Service and Civilian Rifle League. This affiliation makes possible 11 shoulder-to-shoulder matches with as many teams in the League. The shooting schedule started by a match with Company L, 241st Coast Artillery, in which the Blue and Gold sharpshooters scored a de¬ cisive victory. At Christmas, the director, Mr. Carl Taylor, arranged a “Kickers” handicap match. There was a tie for first place between Russell Dickie and George Trout, and prizes of equal value were awarded. Second prize went to Earl Dickie. The Club members attended two turkey shoots during the winter, one was held at the Malden Armory and the other at the First Corps Cadet Armory in Boston. There are now two teams actively engaged in the Bi-Weekly matches which are sponsored by the National Rifle Association. In the first of the Bi-Weekly series both the Malden Teams finished on top. These two teams are now in possession of silver trophies presented to them by the N. R. A., in recognition of their accomplishment. Negotiations are now under way for shoulder-to-shoulder rifle matches with Woburn High, Wakefield High, Stoneham High, Gloucester High, and M. I. T. Freshmen. GIRLS’ CHOIR Ever since Miss Perkins’ coming to Malden as supervisor of music, new things have been done in connection with music in the schools. Last fall, a Girls’ Choir was formed in Malden High School. This was a new thing in the school and it was difficult to know how the girls of the school would respond to the call for members. The fact that sixty girls were enrolled in this club proves that Malden High School girls were interested. Under Miss Perkins’ careful supervision, the experiment has been a great success. The club made two appearances this semester, one at the Armistice Day Assembly here at the school, and another at the meeting of the New Century Club a month ago. Extensive plans are being made for work during next semester. First of all, the girls are planning to have some sort of uniform which will be worn on occasions when the choir appears in public. Also, the Girls’ Choir plans to enter a conclave of Glee Clubs some time in the spring. Much credit is due Miss Perkins for having led the Girls’ Choir through a successful term. isnw w ' ■ s MV a Zy ' iVii h gwnritipH anh iFratmutics KAPPA PHI Twenty eight years ago a group of girls founded the first sorority of Malden, the Alpha Chapter of Kappa Phi. Since then, Kappa Phi has founded four other chapters which are very active. The activities of Kappa Phi this year have been numerous. The first event occurred in the form of a very successful dance held on Fri¬ day, the thirteenth of December. Next came our banquet on Decem¬ ber 28 held at the Woman’s Repub¬ lican Club of Boston. It was most successful. Plans are under way, too, for a private dance in the spring. The spirit of the whole sorority is one of the most complete and perfect fellowships that exists. The members have a common bond in Kappa Phi’s name. The sorority extends its hearti¬ est wishes for success to the Class of 1930-A. KAI LUN The activities of Kai Lun Soror¬ ity during 1929, have proved to be the most interesting in its history, owing to the sincere co-operation of each member. At Circle Inn, we held our infor¬ mal dance. A few months later, a very successful bridge and dance was run at the Hotel Westminster. Our formal dance, held at the Hotel Kenmore, was a brilliant affair. Our delightful season was drawn to a close with an informal party held at Winthrop. For the year 1930, Kai Lun is contemplating another bridge and dance. Class of 1930-A, Kai Lun Soror¬ ity wants to take this opportunity to wish you success in your next enterprise; be it for the knowledge of higher institutions or for en¬ trance into the business world. ECCE SIGNUM Since it was first established, Ecce Signum has grown rapidly and is now one of the largest soror¬ ities in Malden High. The mem¬ bers are typical high school girls and take part in a majority of school activities. During the past year several dances have been given by the so¬ rority all of which have been very successful. It not only takes part in social affairs, but at Thanksgiv¬ ing and Christmas and whenever there is an opportunity for service, Ecce Signum shares an active part. Ecce Signum is the only sorority in Malden High to have faculty ad¬ visers; and the value of Miss Dyer and Miss Ruston as advisers, is shown in the efficient way in which the affairs of the sorority are car¬ ried on. Ecce Signum wishes to congrat¬ ulate the graduates, and hopes that even greater success will be theirs in the future. PHI DELTA PHI The Phi Delta Phi Sorority open¬ ed late in September and a very successful rush party was held at the beginning of the season. The annual informal dance took place at MALDONIAN I I it 1i I I the Hotel Somerset in the Mahog¬ any Room on December 21st. Plans are being made for the annual for¬ mal dance which will probably come late in February. Phi Delta Phi Sorority is well represented in the different activi¬ ties of the school and has establish¬ ed the custom of presenting a gift to the girl of the graduation class having the highest marks in Latin. The Phi Delta Phi sisters wish the best of luck and success to the Class of ’30-A in its future under¬ takings. SIGMA PHI Alpha Chapter of Sigma Phi So¬ rority was organized in June 1921, and was followed by chapters in Chelsea and Quincy Highs. Our work has not been purely social as can be seen by the bowling team which meets every Tuesday Evening at the Malden Club Alleys. We are also a member of the Pana- delphi c Council of Malden High School. As we look back, we note with justified pride, that we have contributed our share of valedic¬ tories and holders of other honor parts, and so Sigma Phi Sorority feels that it can offer these advan¬ tages to any incoming member now and forevermore! S ome girls in active co-operation. I nvitations of extraordinary or¬ iginality. G iris of supreme loyalty. M alden High School Organiza¬ tion. A nd plenty of fun. P arties and dances galore. H ilarity unsurpassed. I nterest in everything. Socially, a very interesting win¬ ter and spring schedule have been planned: a formal dance sometime in December or January; and an informal one at some later date. We have already begun our social function with a Rush Party which was held November 20, 1929. All Sigma Phi Seniors join in wishing that Sigma Phi may pros¬ per and grow better every year, and also in wishing the Class of 1930-A a prosperous and happy fu¬ ture. Sigma Phi Sorority wishes to ex¬ tend its heartiest congratulations and wishes to the graduating mem¬ bers of this Sorority, Misses Sarah Groman, Helen Goldman, Rhoda Klasky, Minnie Bogus, and Sadie Pansky. EN KA The En Ka Sorority has just completed its twenty-fifth year of active work and service. It has grown steadily in membership and its activities have become a recog¬ nized part in the school life. The sorority has its Annual Dance reg¬ ularly the night after Christmas, and this is followed by a banquet in the spring. Various bridges, par¬ ties, and dances are held at other times during the year, the proceeds of which are used for charitable purposes. It is the custom each year for En Ka to give a medal to the Valedictorian, and in this way attempts to emphasize and increase the interest in scholastic achieve¬ ments. The En Ka Sorority extends its best wishes to the Graduating Class of 1930-A. I I t I � Vii Violin MALDONIAN KAPPA ALPHA PI Kappa Alpha Pi is one of the foremost fraternities in the school, with an active membership of over twenty-five persons. Among its members are included many stu¬ dents prominent in athletics, schol¬ arship, and school activities. A number of its alumni are promi¬ nent in academic and collegiate football and baseball. The Kappas held two informal dances during the past semester, both at Oak Manor, Melrose, on November 1 and December 26. Both affairs were highly successful, financially and socially. At present, the Kappas are busy planning their annual celebration of Founders’ Day, which comes a- bout February 22. This celebra¬ tion is the occasion for a big for¬ mal banquet and dance, and is the “red letter event” of the Kappa year. ALPHA MU Alpha Mu was founded nine years ago to promote good fellow¬ ship between a group of congenial spirits. It has always been sym¬ bolic of true fraternalism to its members, and friendship reigns su¬ preme at all its affairs. The members of this fraternity are distinguished for athlet ic and mental attainments both at high school and in college. Herein are spirited leadership and intelligent obeisance learned to the benefit of all in later life. Some of the members of this graduation class who have distin¬ guished themselves are Sam and Isaac Fishman, Bob Lapidus, and Israel Glazer. Sam was captain of the football team, and both he and Bob gained all-scholastic berths in this field. Isaac was Salutatorian and Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book, while Israel Glazier gained prominence through his musical talent. The first three mentioned are members of the National Honor Society. Furthermore, Dave Weiss, saluta¬ torian ’27-A, was recently elected to Phi Beta Kappa at Harvard where Louis Weiner and George Lodgen, salutatorian and orator respective¬ ly of Class ’28-B, have both gained scholarships. Thus do the Alpha Mu members carry on the ideals and standards set in high school. ALPHA ZETA PI Seven years ago Alpha Zeta Pi was brought into existence for the purpose of promoting true friend¬ ship among its members. During that time it has had in its ranks many members who have been prominent both in scholarship and athletics. In March, Alpha Zeta Pi had a very successful formal dance at the Hotel Brunswick in Boston. In June, there took place that affair of affairs to which A. Z. P. mem¬ bers, both young and old, look for¬ ward with most delightful thoughts —the annual motor boat party. This took place at Rangeford Is¬ land on the 17th. Plans are being made now for the annual Christmas week dance, which will close the year of 1929 socially for A. Z. P. members. A. Z. P. wishes the members of the Class of 1930-A the best of luck in all of their undertakings. MALD0N1AN GAMMA SIGMA Kappa Chapter of the Fraternity of Gamma Sigma is in its 33rd year in Malden High School and is the oldest fraternal organization in the school. Gamma Sigma which has always been well represented in activities of the school both socially and ath¬ letically is started on what seems to be a prosperous year. Plans are made for a cake sale, to be held in the early part of December, and also for a play later in the school year. Gamma Sigma will run its annual New Years Eve Frolic in conjunc¬ tion with A. D. S. and as the ar¬ rangements have been made for a well known orchestra and a large hall everything will go off well. The strong spirit of fraternalism which has existed throughout, in the chapter has shown itself in the fact that the alumni of the frater¬ nity have formed a club for the continuation of this fraternal love. Kappa Chapter of Gamma Sigma striving always to show its mem¬ bers the true ideals of life, and to fit them for their business and so¬ cial responsibilities of a later year, wishes to extend its heartiest wishes of success to the Graduat¬ ing Class of Malden High School. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA The first few months of the new semester have promised a very suc¬ cessful season for Alpha Delta Sig¬ ma. During the summer, Doug Catto, as our delegate, and many others of our brothers made the trip to Portland to attend the an¬ nual National Convention. Those who have joined our ranks this year, or who are now under initiation are Fred Nose worthy, Dick Knowlton, and Junior Wright. We are proud to welcome these fel¬ lows into A. D. S. Our one dance so far this year has been a huge success, both fi¬ nancially and otherwise. It was our annual Thanksgiving Dance, held at the James Putnam House in Danvers, with the Red and White Serenaders furnishing the music. Except for a few with fro¬ zen motors, and one poor lad with a cracked cylinder, no casualties were reported, and everybody had a perfect time. Plans are well under way now for the annual New Year’s dance held in conjunction with our broth¬ er fraternity, Gamma Sig. Here’s to a continuance of the good luck we’ve enjoyed so far this year. ATHLETICS THE FOOTBALL TEAM The 1929 Malden High School football team completed one of the finest seasons in the history of the gridiron sport at the school when it nosed out Medford High School 6-0 in the annual Thanksgiving Day classic between the two schools. An undefeated season was attained. Nine wins against Massachusetts High School teams and one tie game with Manchester, N.H. High is the proud record compiled by Capt. Fishman and his teammates. This remarkable season is also a glowing tribute to the two Malden High coaches, Edmund Goodreau and his assistant, Warren McGuirk in their first year at the head of the coaching system here. The head coach of the Blue and Gold squad turned out championship teams at Ansonia, Conn., before coming to Malden so that it is becoming a habit for him to see his teams finish at the top of the scholastic pile. McGuirk, peculiarly enough, has also been associated with nothing but the best, as the Boston. College team, which he captained a year ago, was undefea ted. Rogers High of Newport, R. I. was the only team to score on Malden, and an uncrossed goal line might have been preserved had Coach Goodreau sacrificed the development of his material in favor of new records. In addition to defeating its greatest rivals from Medford and Everett, the Blue and Gold also had the satisfaction of being the first Malden team to defeat Newton in football in ten years. Coach Goodreau characterized this year’s team as the greatest he ever handled. The line, with such men as Fenton, Lapidus, Winerman, McCarthy, Bolton, Suvalsky, Etchings, Perry, Charlie and Dick Hill, was the strongest defensive unit among the schoolboy teams. The backfield, with such men as Capt. Sam Fishman, Prusack, O’Brien, Kelley, and Beaman, combined speed, power, defensive ability, and passing, all the necessary requisites for a winning combination. The boys themselves, with the exception of Kelley, Beaman, and Perry, who are back again next year, conclude their 1 football careers at Malden High with the memory of a work well done. IjfflMMMfMfMMIMMMMCMWSMMMK ' tftfMM 4 Vt i V ' v a i TRACK The track team of 1929 had the most successful year since the inaugur¬ ation of track at Malden High School. The indoor track squad completed a banner season by winning the Class B. Championship at the East Boston Armory state meet. The performance of the team outdoors exceeded the fondest hopes of Coach Batchelder and Captain “Nat” Cooperstein. After tieing for second place in Class C at the Harvard inter-schol¬ astics, the boys came back and defeated Brockton, winners of Class B at the Harvard meet, in a duel which was decided by the relay race. The culmination of the year’s efforts was beating Medford on their own cinder path. Seniors who contributed no small part in this success were: Oisa Flashman, Lyman Allen, Charlie Hill, and Sammy Fishman. When track practice started for the Indoor season of 1930, the team was well fortified with veterans, but no new talent was discovered. This lack of new material will be a hindrance to the team’s success. However, the squad shows potential power, and “Batch” is confident that the team; will develop well and have a fine season. The attractive schedule for the 1930 season finds meets with Hunting, Lynn Classical, Medford, Lowell, and Brockton arranged. The Andover Interscholastics and the State Meet at Boston complete the season. Awmtt BOYS’ SWIMMING Thirty-five candidates (reported for the swimming team early in November ’28 to Coach Pollock at the Y. M. C. A. pool. The number drop¬ ped to twenty at the start of the regular season. The team met some of the best teams in the state, emerging victorious in four out of ten meets. The schedule was composed of meets with An¬ dover Academy, Huntington School, Brookline, Gardner, Mechanic Arts, Boston English, Technology Freshmen, Nautical Training School, Exeter Academy, and Brown Freshmen. Among these, the Blue and Gold natators defeated Mechanics Arts, Nautical Training School, Boston English, and Technology Freshmen. Captain Bill O’Farrell, Dick Claybourne, Guy Steeves, Howard Webster and Earl Cefrey were Seniors who earned many points for Malden. The beginning of the 1930 season found the usual number of candi¬ dates reporting to Coach Pollock. Captain “Doug” Catto is the foremost of several veterans to bear the brunt of this season’s schedule. Despite their defeat at the hands of Mechanic Arts, the boys eagerly face the remaining meets with Technology Freshmen, Hunting, Exeter Academy, Gardner, and Boston Latin. With four of these meets at the local Y. M. C. A. pool, the team may expect real support from the High School students. V -. , ,V .S .-BeiSE tM-u ,2-t) V -s ' ;• ' ' ...,•. ' v ' ' ■ • ' ' Z ' ? BASEBALL With Coach “Ed” Goodreau and Captain Paul Keenan at the helm, the baseball team had its best season in several years. The team defeated some of the best teams in the state, including Lynn Classical, Boston College High, Medford, Everett, and Lawrence. Up to the time it played Malden, Lawrence had been the only undefeated team m Massachusetts. Outstanding performers on the diamond were Beaman and Kelley, pitchers- Captain Keenan, catcher; Joe Freshman, second baseman; and Danny Crowley, short-stop. Freshman’s hard hitting and Crowley’s sen¬ sational fielding featured every game. Coach Goodreau is looking for another successful season with the return of six regulars next year. The Boys’ Tennis Team of 1929 had a fair season. While they won three out of six league matches, the boys lost their prep school matches. The high light of the season was the overwhelming defeat of Everett, five to one. In the Inter-scholastic meet at the Longwood Cricket Club, the team placed fifth among twelve schools. Members of the team who won their M’s were Captain-Manager “Nat” Wells, John Carr, William Stressenger, and Hyman Horwitz. BOYS’ BASKETBALL Coach Ray Morrill’s Basket-bailers showed some fine playing in the second season of basketball at Malden High. Despite the handicap of playing all of their games away from home, because of not having a suitable local court, the Blue and Gold five gave a good account of themselves against the best competition. Although they won only a few games, the boys can point with pride to the 15-14 victory over Everett. This was the high light of the season. Walter Nestor upholds the prestige of the Seniors in this sport. With Ralph Kranetz as captain, and several other veterans on hand, the Blue and Gold quintet starts a most promising season for 1930. Coach Morrill has developed a clever passing game led by Capt. Kranetz and Walter Nestor. For the first time in its history, the team will play home games at the Armory. TENNIS salvia GIRLS’ HOCKEY The Blue and Gold Girls’ Hockey Team started its second successful season with eight veterans. Every Monday and Wednesday, the girls practiced at Pine Banks, and worked hard to develop a strong team. Helen Tingdahl was elected captain and Sara Barber manager. The team has played some of the best schools in the state, and we can all be proud of the showing they made. Much credit is also due to the second team for their fine spirit and cooperation. In the recent try-outs for the Boston Field Hockey Association, three of our girls, Ruth Potter, Sara Barber, and Josephine Bishop came out near the top. The line-up of the team is as follows: C. Half—Ruth A. Potter R. Half—Edith Barrett L. Full—Virginia Hitchcock R. Full—Sara Barber Goal—Josephine Bishop L. W.—Virginia Bloomerth L. I.—Jean Mclnnis Cen.—Helen Tingdahl R. I.—Evelyn Spraker R. W.—Gertrude McClure L. Half—Dorothy McClure GIRLS’ SWIMMING TEAM Every Thursday our girls practice swimming at the Y. M. C. A. under the supervision of Miss Muriel Johnson. The team has not yet been se¬ lected, and every girl is working hard to be chosen to represent our school in swimming. We all wish them success in their coming games. L GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Miss Muriel Johnson, the girls’ athletic coach, is working hard to de¬ velop another championship team such as last year’s. Practice is held every Tuesday and Thursday, and class games are played between the Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors. We are sure, with the help of the old veterans, Helen Boehm, Hilda Boehm, Virginia BIpmerth, Sara Barber, and Jeanette Wilder, we can produce another successful team. ' Helen Boehm has been elected to captain the girls. The manager, Ruth Ross, has arranged games with Mansfield, Medford, Somerville, Marblehead, Hingham, Reading, Swampscott, Arlington, and Everett. GIRLS’ BOWLING TEAM The Girls’ Bowling Team, coached by Miss Muriel Johnson, has just started another season. Many girls have turned out for practice, and they have chosen Gertrude McMahon for their manager. With the aid of our old veterans Virginia Blomerth, Sylvia Wolfe, Gertrude McMahon, and the Boehm twins, we are looking forward to a successful season. kvdyrt Sr««tV� GRAPHIC ARTS ENGRAVING CO. consolidated with FOLSOM ENGRAVING CO. 470 Atlantic Ave., Boston Engravers of five consecutive “Maldonians” Cuticura Preparations For Daily Use Unexcelled in purity they are regarded by millions as unrivalled in the promotion of skin and hair health.

Fox The year 1980 has for Massachusetts a special significance in that it is the three hun¬ dredth anniversary of the settlement of Boston by the Puritans. In the ranks of these founders of the Massachusetts Bay Colony were to be found gentlemen of the finest breeding and ed¬ ucation. Puritanism had gained a strong foot¬ hold in Oxford and Cambridge in spite of all attempts to stifle it. And these universities produced the great Puritan leaders, men of brilliant minds: Brewster, Bradford, and Winslow, in whom were combined intellect, skill in the management of human affairs, and deep religious devotion. One of the most remarkable of these great leaders was John Winthrop, a member of a prominent English family. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and for some time held a semi-official position in the law courts of England. However, when he showed his aversion to the in¬ creasing abuses of liberty that the government was perpetrating at that time, he was forced to leave his office. It was then that his executive ability was recognized by the Massachusetts Bay Company, and he was elected governor of the enterprise that was to be launched by that corpora¬ tion. Winthrop stood for everything for which this colony was founded, namely, the three motivating factors that influenced the Puritans to emi¬ grate to the New World—first, a desire for financial betterment (for these vestures were, after all, attempts at improving the economic status of the proprietors of the corporations that financed them) ; second, the need of a refuge from religious persecution; and third, the will to political freedom and self-government. John Winthrop embodied all that was finest in the Puritans. He was peculiarly fitted to be the leader of such an expedition into an unknown world where hardship and suffering awaited him.. I have previously men¬ tioned his executive ability which was indispensable in a leader. This latter trait was further supplemented by his keen sense of the practical which, no doubt, helped to save the community from starvation during the first two severe winters. Who but a man of resolute courage and indomi¬ table will could have faced a wilderness with the burden of responsibility 1950-B 1t-T.A riALDOMAN for his whole band on his shoulders. Winthrop was unselfish and laid aside his own interests for the sake of the common welfare. Then there were the other requisites of leadership—tolerance and broadmindedness—that helped him to understand the needs of his people and also to see a point of view other than his own. One interesting- episode, which serves to illus¬ trate this point, is his controversy with Dudley, his deputy governor. Dud¬ ley and he had some grounds of difference and Dudley sent him an abusive letter. This letter Winthrop returned, saying that he could not have near him any such cause for dispute or quarrel. Dudley, moved by the mag¬ nanimity of his superior, responded, ‘‘Conquering yourself hath conquered me.” He also possessed a keen sense of discernment, which unfortunately, was not infallible. One error in judgment that he was guilty of was in the case of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, whom he wrongfully persecuted. Yet, even in his treatment of Mrs. Hutchinson, whom he hated and considered a menace to the community, we perceive a patience and tolerance that was remarkable, considering the circumstances. When on his death-bed, he was asked to sign a document for the banishment of some erring individual, he refused, saying simply, “I have done enough of this in my lifetime.” In the midst of this great practicality and cold efficiency we find a gentler side to his character. He was a nature-lover and delighted in the birds and flowers of New England. He would often go for a sail in Boston harbor for the sheer pleasure of it. Here, then, we have a man of inestimable value in the building of our great Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Here, then, is the man to whom Dr. Palfrey pays a just tribute when he says: “Undoubtedly it was his policy more than any other man’s that or¬ ganized into shape, animated with practical vigour, and prepared for per¬ manency those primeA al sentiments and institutions that have directed the course of thought and action in New England in later times. And equally certain is it that among the millions of living men descended from those whom he ruled, there is not one who does not, through efficient influences transmitted in society and thought along the intervening generations, owe much to the benevolent and courageous wisdom of John Winthrop.” 1910-B ■R-t.a. MALDONIAN lal htrlnry Anne Hutchinson: Unafraid Dorothy D. Howlett In this day of free speech, free religious beliefs, comfortable living conditions, and a bewildering multitude of pleasures, it is well to stop a moment and consider the conditions that women of usual endowments three cen¬ turies ago were forced to endure. In those days a woman was merely an adjunct of some man’s home—a perpetual toiler, a mother of a large family, a person whose voice was heard only within her own home. Church-going was her only pleasure, and she was even forbidden to lighten the severity of her drab clothing by lace or embroidery. When a woman stands out a dramatic and solitary figure in the midst of such conditions she inevitably invites attention. Such a person was Anne Hutchinson, who came to Boston in the year 1634 with her husband and children. Because of her ability to care for and encourage the sick, she went about in the community, a veritable angel of mercy. In addition to her spirit of helpfulness, Anne also had other outstanding qualities. Even in her home in England she had shown unusual energy, and a desire to know what was going on, together with a tendency to do her own thinking. In America she showed real powers of leadership. She would gather at her home one afternoon each week to discuss matters of religion as many women as possible. She would discuss with them the Sunday sermons and the mid-week lectures. She criticized the doctrines promulgated by the ministry, insisting that one should heed the dictates of conscience rather than the covenant of works. By means of these meetings, Anne not only brightened the lives of these women, but also at the same time increased their alertness by making them take notes at the lectures and sermons and then making them discuss these notes at their gatherings. Many women who, fascinated by Anne’s magnetic personality, were won over to her side became her ardent follow¬ ers. After a time the clergy began to complain that it was losing its influence. After three years of such activity Anne Hutchinson was brought to trial by the government officials who had always been irritated by her sharp tongue and her spirit of independence. Anne was charged with having disturbed the peace of the commonwealth, with having said things prejudicial to the honor of the churches and ministers, and with having mo-B � .T,A = MAL[)ONIANte� held meetings condemned by the assemblies. In this emergency this brave woman’s character aided her marvelously. She was very sharp- witted and clear-minded, and would have won the case if only, at the last moment, she had not claimed that God had revealed himself to her, and that he had told her of the destruction of the Court. This last claim brought down the condemnation of her judges upon this fearless woman. Of course, Anne’s punishment was cruel just as were all the other forms of punishment during that period. Not only was she banished from Massa¬ chusetts but she was excommunicated in addition. This latter punishment was a great disgrace to Anne, and caused her mmch grief because her hus¬ band and children had to endure the penalty also. Undismayed by the course of fate Anne fled to Rhode Island, and later she went to Connecticut where she and all but two of her thirteen children met a most cruel death at the hands of savage Indians. Such was the career of this Puritan woman who dared to do different for conscience’s sake—a woman full of good works, a friend to all in sorrow or affliction, and above all a woman of independent thought. Obviously she was far in advance of her time in presuming that a woman might assert herself publicly. No doubt, she had three great failings, a cen¬ sorious tongue, a contempt of public ordinances, and a spiritual pride. She certainly did threaten the peace of the colony by inciting a disturbing opposition to the established order. Perhaps she enjoyed publicity too much, but, at least, she lived her life honestly, fearlessly, and in accordance with the promptings of that inner still small voice of conscience. VALE Classmates: For the past three years we have been working side by side in this highest institution of learning in our city. Now we are forced to part and go our several ways alone. Whatever knowledge we may have acquired from books and teachers, whatever power in self-help we have been able to gain, all this will avail us or hinder us according to the kind of character we have individually built. Like Anne Hutchinson, let us think for ourselves and be eager to share our light with others; let us be unafraid of any power except the power of our conscience. While no one of us would wish a tragic death like hers, each one is ambitious to achieve something worthy. Every one has to live with himself—we never can get away from ourselves. Therefore, it behooves us to have such an inner peace to sustain us as that of this noble woman who suffered persecution and an early death, but who remained true to the best that was in her. Let us, then, classmates, carry with us these four lines of Edwin Markham: For all your days prepare. And meet them ever alike: When you are the anvil, bear— When you are the hammer, strike. Armed with this resolve myself, classmates, I bid you farewell. t970-B kt.a MALDONKN O ratintt Roger Williams: Tolerant Puritan Charles E. Carr In his recent Memorial Address at Gettys¬ burg- President Hoover spoke these words that America may well remember and take to heart: “The things of the spirit alone persist. It is in that field that the nation makes its lasting progress.” “To cherish religious faith and the toler¬ ance of all faiths; to reflect into every aspect of public life the spirit of charity, the practice of forbearance, and the restraint of passion while reason seeks the way; to lay aside blind prejudice and follow knowledge together; to pursue diligently the common welfare and find within its boundaries our private benefit; to enlarge the borders of opportunity for all and find our own within them; to enhance the greatness of the nation and thereby find for ourselves an individual distinction; to face with courage and confident expectation the task set before us—these are the paths of true glory for this nation.” “They will lead us to a life more abounding, richer in satisfactions, more enduring in its achievements, more precious in its bequests to our children—a life not merely of conflict but filled with the joy of creative action.” Words such as these might well have fallen from the lips of Roger Williams, for nowhere can we find a greater champion of freedom from whom to derive lessons of highest practical value in the fields of religion, Christian charity, and liberality. In him were exemplified two g reat qualities that marked him as an extraordinary man and destined him to become a potent force in American life and politics. In an age of religious strife and persecution Williams stood out mani¬ festly the greatest exponent of religious freedom of his day. It was for this doctrine that he abandoned England to seek freedom of worship in Massachusetts Bay. Even here he was confronted with religious intoler¬ ance. His doctrine was too modern. Like all advanced thinkers he was suspected and harassed. At length he was driven to found a colony of his own—a cradle of religious freedom where any man might worship according to the dictates of his conscience. His colony was founded on the principles of pure democracy based on generous liberality and mutual con¬ fidence. Roger Williams has justly been styled the “Apostle of Religious Liberty.” Even the heathen Indians were moved by his religious fervor. t910-B kt.a HALDOMAN No greater example of his tolerance can be found than his treatment of the Quakers. These unfortunate people were driven from the New England colonies and threatened with torture and death in case of their return. Contrary to the precedent of these colonies Williams flatly refused to bar them from citizenship and property rights. He said, ‘T have no law by which to punish a man for merely stating his opin¬ ions, mind, and understanding regarding the ways of God as to salvation and one’s eternal condition.” He was threatened with boycott in trade and intercourse with New England for not punishing this persecuted race, but he stubbornly refused to surrender his principle of the liberty of the soul. His state is the only one that has never passed a law abridging freedom of conscience or interfering with religious worship. Yet, like many modern people, the settlers in Rhode Island did not always uphold his high ideals. They later became so engrossed in worldly affairs that petty intolerance tarnished the lustre of their standard of freedom. Narrowness and selfish¬ ness so blinded them that they foreswore for the sake of personal gratifica¬ tion all the advantages of colonial union, that noble plan advocated by John Winthrop. They even became so warped as to question the disinterested¬ ness of their leader, who had spent his meagre fortune to found for them a religious haven. Intolerance, one of the greatest of all vices, unfortunately still survives. This enormous evil narrows and dwarfs the intellect by its fallacious teachings, and the suspicions it enge nders. A no less dominant trait of his character was his valiant courage that overrode obstacles, that defied opposition, and that bore him to a glorious triumph in his struggle for religious freedom. His was the perfect type of courage—both physical and moral. In January, 1636, to escape banishment to England, he was forced by the harsh judgment of his fellow-men to leave his wife and babies and to flee like a foul murderer. Seldom has any man been driven from a Christian community to encounter more severe trials, or to endure more crushing privations. Without friends, without sus¬ tenance, or a refuge from the severities of the pitiless winter, doggedly he fought onward toward his goal—a haven where the oppressed might be free. Thirty-five years later the effects of his wilderness struggle still racked his frame with agonizing tortures. In his own simple words he describes his harrowing experiences. ‘T was sorely tossed for fourteen weeks in the bitter winter season not knowing what bread or bed did mean.” Thus he lightly passes over the cruel hardships that sapped his strength but could not weaken his courage. It was from this struggle that he sur¬ vived to lay the foundations of Providence, a perpetual memorial to the divine providence that had guided him thither. In 1675 Indians, uprising in the horror known as King Philip’s War, threatened the New England colonies with annihilation. In this crisis Roger Williams, then in his 73rd year, stepped to the defence of his ideal of freedom. As a captain of militia he drilled his raw troops to withstand the dreaded onslaught. As a minister of peace, he laid aside his weapons, and armed with nothing but courage I9: 0-D � .T.A MALDONIAN- and the spirit of self-sacrifice, went forth to plead with the savages for the safety of his colony of freedom. The moral courage of Roger Williams was of the highest quality. He was no weak minded puppet; he was a man who fearlessly expounded the doctrines that were lodged deep in his mind and heart. No crime ever stained the character of this noble apostle of liberty. He violated no laws; he committed no immoral act; he never betrayed a trust. His sin lay in the fact that he refused to be silenced in his advocacy of religious tolerance. He fearlessly announced his doctrine of freedom, and he sacrificed to it his comfort, ease, and all his hopes of worldly preferment. In pursuit of this end he never wavered. In public or private life as a minister, and as a legislator; amid the hardships of the savage wilderness or in the company of great scholars and statesmen he kept his lofty principle constantly in view as the radiant pole star of his hopes and aims. When to his tolerance and courage we add unselfishness, loyalty, and integrity; when we add that he was conciliatory but firm; that he was a shining example of Christian forebearance, we have a true vision of Roger Williams, one of the noblest characters that ever lived! His tolerance is the tolerance that should give this nation its firm basis of religious free¬ dom, his courage is the same inspiring courage that freed America from the galling yoke of oppression in 1775. It was fortitude and courage like his that laid the foundation of our country. Tolerance and courage should be the ideals that will ever inspire the America of the present and of the future to attain her lofty position as a glorious nation of free and fearless men. «.T,A. liALDONIAN OIlaaH lag (iratton John H. Haley, Jr. Honored teachers, illustrious class-mates, and less fortunate others— When I first realized that I had been chosen to address you this morning, I exper¬ ienced a rather violent inward commotion, for like all Class Day Orators, I was at my wit’s end—what was I going to speak on? Some of you will say “Why, on the stage, of course”, but while that is absolutely essential, I needed something else—something less concrete. However, my troubles on this point were soon dispelled, for no sooner had I begun to think about my task than I discovered I was in a far less precarious situation than any of my predecessors. Instead of having six or seven worries about my oration, I had only one—imagine it! just one, single, solitary worry—and that was . . . what should I speak about? Still, I continued to meditate on the matter (although the strain of such an unusual action was extremely great) but the more I thought about it, the more puzzled I became. I consulted encyclopedias, dictionaries, and even copies of “College Humor”, but to no avail. I was almost ready to give up iti despair when suddenly I espied George Fenton. I jumped up excitedly! Ah, that was it 1 There was my inspiration! I would speak about .... horses! All of you have seen a horse, I am sure. Some of you have probably been within ten feet of a horse. Some few have even touched a horse, I dare say. And a still smaller few have even gone so far as to ride on a horse. So the horse is a common sight to all of you—more common than hoop- skirts, bustles, or even hat-pins. Horses have held an important place all through the ages in history, literature, art, and even in stables. There have been all kinds of horses: big horses, little horses, white horses, dark horses, wild horses, dead horses, saw-horses, clothes-horses, flying-horses, and horse radishes. There is also a hobby-horse, a high horse, and a “hor s de combat”. Every one of these horses has had a part in the history of the world and has contributed to its civilization. But in recent years, the horse has been on the decline. With the development of the locomotive, the automobile, and the aeroplane, “old Dobbin” has been rapidly and unceremoniously shoved to the back¬ ground, and is speedily becoming extinct. Yet even though “Dobbin” himself passes away, his memory lives forever. One of the earliest horses in legendary history was the famous Wooden Horse of Troy, by whose aid the Greeks captured the city of Troy. There Tt-T,A MALDONIANts is no longer any Horse of Troy, but there is going about the streets of our city a horse no less famous, a horse just as impressive, a horse with fully as much romance about him, a horse who contributes just as much to our civilization of today, a horse who captures no cities, but a horse whose service to mankind is no wit less. I refer to none other than the famous Wooden Horse of King Arthur’s Flour. Horses have been especially prominent in literature. In the Arabian Knights we read of the Enchanted Horse, given by an Indian to the shah of Persia as a New Year’s gift. On this horse were two pegs. When the rider turned one of these pegs, the horse was made to rise into the air, and by turning the other, he could make the horse descend, when and where he wished. Today we have an almost exact counterpart to this horse in Paul Smith’s flivver. When the little peg on the front under the radiator is turned, the car rises into the air and descends just like the Enchanted Horse, only instead or doing this only once, the Smith contraption con¬ tinues to go up and down at an approximate of 60 ups and 59 downs per minute, and still more unlike the magic horse, much against the wishes of the rider. Similar to the Enchanted Horse is the Brass Horse of Cambuscan, King of Tartary. A person whispered into the ear of the horse where he wished to go and having mounted, turned a pin, whereupon the brazen steed rose into the air as high as the rider wished, and within twenty- four hours landed him safely at the end of his journey. In modern times we have instead of the Horse of Brass, the taxi with its nickelplating. As you enter its dark recesses, you whisper into the ear of the driver where you wish to go, and when you have s eated yourself, he presses a pin in the floor and off you go. Or should I say “Up”? You are rattled about ’till you cannot see the meter, which meanwhile is going up just as high as the taxi itself, and to make sure that it is twenty-four hours before you reach your destination, just as with the Brass Horse, the driver goes around the park with you eight or ten times. In mythology you have all heard of Pegasus, the Winged Horse of Apollo and the Muses, who could fly like a bird. Alas that we have no Winged Horses today! And yet in spite of our lack of horses with wings, there are countless horses and some even thinner students who may be seen flying about the building as the result of our well-grooved and finely- polished stairs jumping out from under them. In mythology also we learn of the flesh-eating horses of Diomed, ty¬ rant of Thrace, who fed his horses on the strangers who came to visit his kingdom, and who was finally eaten by his own horses. Steeds who masti¬ cate on human flesh no longer exist, but we still have horses who sate their hunger on dogs and mustard every recess at the La Touraine. And so although the horse no longer enjoys the high place in the world that he formerly held, he is still remembered and esteemed for his ac¬ complishments of the past. As Horace Mann, the great educational re¬ former and philanthropist, once said “Deeds survive the doers”; man may pass away, but deeds live on forever. «-T,A maldonian (HlaHH l iatnrg Armand A. Benoit The good things of this world should be shared. The Class of 1930-B firmly believes in this maxim, and, for that reason, I noAv place before you an outline of its joyous, happy career for three years in Malden High School. To withhold this valuable information from the public would be a crime deserving of the stern¬ est punishment that might issue from the por¬ tals of Room 120. By all means, let the story be told! Our entry into Malden High resembled a triumphal procession with 224 “Julius Caesars” represented. That was in 1927. At that time we came in with all the high aims of youth. We were going to do great things. We didn’t exactly hitch our wagons to stars, but we did the next best thing. We stampeded to that beloved third floor and, from that safe distanc e, proceeded to poke fun at the Juniors and drive the Seniors wild with all the gusto and delight that Freshmen take in such actions. It is needless to state that our class immediately began to take its rightful place in Malden High. Our first duty was to teach our faculty to like our playful antics. Other classes began to recognize that dangerous rivals for scholastic and athletic fame were lurking just a floor, or two, above them. We are sure that the active exercise of dashing up and down three long flights of stairs so many times a day must have helped to bring out the athletic ability of Max Winerman and “Hoss” Fenton, who made places on the varsity football squad their first season. Crowley also started his brilliant career in school baseball. With Danny as a leader, our class team boldly challenged class five; and after making them hide their heads in shame, we slaughtered the haughty senior team. This year also brought swimming letters to Douglas Catto and Dudley Crane. In track, Cooperstein started off with a bang, and Fenton, Winerman, Dick Hill, and Harry Faerman were instrumental in bringing success to the team. Our class had other talent besides that in athletics. Harry Fox and John Haley earned almost permanent positions on the school honor roll. Orphea Anguish, Allan Baker, Carl Benson, Harry Greene, and many others of our number joined the Band. Wilbur Bigelow, George Hartwell, Myra Rawnsley, and Katherine Raher were active in the orchestra. Then Myra Rawnsley abandoned her violin just long enough to show us her proficiency in domestic arts by winning a fifty dollar scholarship in a 4-H Club Canning Contest. 1910-B H-T. S. 3)I1ALD0NIANte5 Late in June,—very late, as we recall it,—we were politely shown out of school and asked to return in September. So, true to form, we came trooping back in the fall, all ready to set the world afire. We had often considered limiting our fire-making to M. H. S., but that would have been very narrow-minded of us, to say the least. Now we were Juniors—Juniors who could still laugh at the proud dignity of the Seniors, but at the same time we could look down conde¬ scendingly on the “children in the attic”; for now we were on the second floor, looking forward impatiently to the days when we, as Seniors, would be able to amble leisurely into Malden High School at thirty-one seconds before eight and still not be late. This second year marked an epoch in our history, a remarkable period of expansion. Indeed, we threatened to push even our faculty out into the cold by our rapid extension into new fields of endeavor. Members of our class were now ranked among the elite of the social and athletic world. We worried our way into all the organizations of the school and soon started the business of office-holding. History was in the making. A very momentous and weighty question was preying upon the minds of our usually serene faculty and especially Mr. Jenkins. For a week our teachers went about the school with gloomy, drawn countenances. Mr. Jenkins’ hair turned from sand to white and he showed visibly the effects of several sleepless nights. And then we found out what was causing them such great anxiety. Who should be the courageous person to act as adviser of this turbulent, unruly class? That was the awful question. But, with unerring wisdom, our headmaster turned to the optimism of youth and asked Miss Watkins to assume the great responsibility. Immediately, the other members of the faculty re¬ sumed complacent, smiling attitudes. They had escaped the ordeal. So, with Miss Watkins as a leader, we swiftly organized and chose as class officers Charles Rossiter, President; Mary Madden, Vice President; John Haley, Treasurer; and Evelyn Webb, Secretary. Our list of football players was increased. “Dick” Hill, “Obie” O’Brien, and “Pete” Prusak took their places with Fenton and Winerman; and “Ken” McNeil was manager of the team. Henry Minasian handled the business end of the basketball team and “Eddie” Morse was manager of the swim¬ ming team, in which Crane, Catto, and Baker received letters. Nathan Cooperstein was elected captain of both indoor and outdoor track teams. It was this year that our track team won first place at the State Meet. Incidentally, we bring to your attention the fact that “Coop” hung up a new record for the 600 yard run. Hyman Rudman, George Fenton, and Max Winerman also did some fine work in track this year. In baseball, Dan Crowley proved to be one of the mainstays of the team, with Charley Logue, Prusak, Ryder, and Swartz all in the running. We also had several girls representing us on school teams. Helen Daley, Gertrude McClure, and Evelyn Spraker were outstanding on the field hockey team. Several other Juniors were on the girls’ bowling team. mo-D XT,A 3)MALD0NIASte5 among them—Alice Jones, Gertrude McMahon, Katherine O’Malley, and Arline Tupper. 1928 was important for another thing. Mr. Charles William Gates decided to withdraw his presence from the sunny atmosphere of Miami, Florida, and rush his genial countenance up and down the halls of M. H. S. We certainly do appreciate it, Charley! During this year, Mr. John W. Crowley, our beloved band-master, passed away. We all hold in reverence the memory of this man whose kindliness and understanding brought every member of both band and orchestra into deep friendship with him. In the English Club play, “The Amazons”, Carr, Fitterman, and Egan of our class had important parts. As it usually happens about this time each semester, the blackboards in all Junior homerooms suddenly blossomed out in all sorts of political propaganda. Violent campaign speeches were delivered in the corridors at recess times, and finally, out of the turmoil, the following officers were elected for class six: President, John Haley; Vice President, Mary Madden; Treasurer, Charles Carr; and Secretary, Evelyn Webb. At this point we struck a new note of originality. Harry Greene was suddenly seized with an inspiration and, in a short time, with Henry Britton and Myra Rawnsley to aid him, formed a class orchestra that ranks with the best. It was the first of its kind ever to be introduced in Malden High, and its great excellence has been proved by the numerous demands for its services. We shall not forget the perspiring, energetic leadership of Henry Britton. More artistic ability soon came to the front when Bob Allmon won the Thrift Poster Prize and showed promise of winning many more. On January fifteen, occurred the death of a much beloved and respected teacher, Mr. John W. Hutchins, for whom our National Honor Society was named. On February eighth, we took time out to enjoy our Class Six party. For over an hour we were delightfully entertained by some of the budding geniuses of which our class is filled to overflowing. Later, we strolled down to our “spacious ballroom”, where we danced, laughed, talked, and danced some more, until some of the teachers, who were perhaps not accustomed to such late hours as eleven o’clock, reminded us that even such sturdy young people as we were must sleep occasionally. By this time we had become so used to agreeing with teachers that we had little trouble in doing so on this occasion. This was the year in which the trend of thought in our class suddenly turned to rings and pins. Richard Evans, as chairman of the ring com¬ mittee, gathered a large, glittering collection from which we eventually picked one as our choice. The Blue and Gold staff was an unusually successful one that year our class being ably represented by John Haley, John Egan, Charles Carr Charles Rossiter, Court land Schofield, and Evelyn Webb. 19 0-B XT. A s3MALD0NIAN(t5 John Haley’s plunge into school politics developed in him such great ability as a public speaker that he was sent to Colby to represent the school at the Lyford Prize Speaking Contest. Morton Hamilton was elected Vice President of the Boy’s Glee Club; and Carr, Doyle, Newman, and Steele took part in the hilarious comedy, “Hit’s Go”. By June both the teachers and their supplies of answers were ex¬ hausted. In great disgust at their general incompetency, we left school with dire threats of returning in a few short weeks with a much greater number of baffling queries. Bright and early on a September morning, we stood once more before the “old brick building”. For our last year, as lordly Seniors, we were going to wander through the corridors with our heads in the clouds and our feet blithely kicking large slabs of stone out of the hole in front of Mr. Nash’s door. We started off very auspiciously, setting a good example to the rest of the school by studying very diligently (sometimes). With character¬ istic regularity John Haley and Harry Fox appeared on the honor roll, with Charley Carr frequently breaking into that select group. Our championship football team owed much of its strength to Winerman, Fenton, Dick Hill, Johnny O’Brien, Pete Prusak, Dan Crowley, and Freddy Andrews as manager. The school swimming team contained seven lettermen from our class,—Crane, Catto, Baker, Kervorkian, Clark, Evans, and Benoit. “Danny” Crowley was elected captain of the baseball team and was strongly backed by Prusak, O’Brien, Ryder, and Swartz. On the basketball team, Clarence Flashman and P. Chenowith Smith re¬ ceived letters, with Gordon Heath also doing splendid work. For the sec¬ ond time, “Nat” Cooperstein held the captaincy of both indoor and outdoor track teams, which took second place in the Northeastern Inter-Scholastic Meet. Nathan Black’s steady work in track was rewarded by receiving the Hit-Cog prize. Harry Faerman, Fenton, Hill, Winerman, Rudman, and Rudin were the members of the squad in our class. Bob Allmon and Charley Carr both received letters in tennis. The girls did their share in school sports. Helen Daley and Gertrude McClure, who is also Malden’s big girl scout, won letters in field hockey. The class officers for the Senior year remained the same, and the class politicians deplored, for days, the chance for soap-box oratory they had lost. Our enterprising English club decided to stage Moliere’s play, “Bourgeois Gentleman”, in which Betty Ray, Frances Hawlor, Mary Madden, Charles Carr, John Egan, John Haley, Bob Fitterman, Myer Weiner, and Charles Rossiter showed their great ability before the foot¬ lights. On January twenty-four our class condescended to receive and enter¬ tain the Seniors, who were about to graduate. A charming play, in which Charley Gates almost brought down the roof, proved its worth by erasing all the lines of care from the troubled brows of the graduating class. The 1910-B XT. A OMALDOMAN diminutive size of our gym and a rhythmic orchestra both served to bring the two classes together so intimately that there was absolutely no excuse for not being well acquainted when the fateful eleven o’clock came ’round. Then came the affair so dear to the heart of every Senior, an outing at Toy Town Tavern. Words cannot do justice to the riotous fun that we had. Stubborn skiis, short-stop toboggan rides, Peg Coffey as the living snowman, a delicious turkey dinner served with hats and horns for addi¬ tional desserts, noise galore,—these are the rather incoherent memories of that day of days. In February we were also proud to learn that Charles Rossiter of our class had won the Washington-Franklin History Medal. It seemed that all Seniors suddenly decided to become presidents. And, what is more, many of them were successful. From the fine crop of leaders who headed school societies in 1929 and ’30, we certainly expect that one of them at least will soon be holding down the job of Chief Executive in Washington. Charley Carr was president of both the Malden Literary Society and the English Club; Mary Madde n was president of Usona; Charley Rossiter held this office in the Greenroom Dramatic So¬ ciety; Morton Hamilton was president of the Opera Club; Wilbur Bigelow was president of the Boys’ Glee Club; Carl Epstein held the top position in the French Club; and John Haley—well, John was president of Cog, Editor-in-Chief of the Blue and Gold for two semesters, president of his class, Editor-in-Chief of the Year Book, and held some office or other, in almost every other organization in Malden High. Besides containing enough presidential material to keep three or four good-sized schools well supplied, members of our class shone in all kinds of contests, no matter how keen the competition. Charlie Sullivan won the Lit contest for his choice of a best all-scholastic football team; Charles Carr and Robert Fitterman won trips to Colby College to represent us in the Prize Speaking Contest; and Bob Allmon, competing with four thou¬ sand other schools from United States, Central and South America, won a prize in a Pencil-Sketch Contest. This year, too, we had a brilliant all-Senior debating team made up of the two Johns—Haley and Egan, and the two Charlies—Carr and Rossiter. The ten members of our class who were greatly honored by admit¬ tance into the John W. Hutchins Chapter of the National Honor Society were Charles Carr, John Egan, Charles Rossiter, John Haley, Henry Britton, Max Winerman, Mary Madden, Evelyn Webb, Myra Rawnsley, and Armand Benoit. In the month of May, the effects of spring weather on our Senior Class were made manifest in the Opera Club’s production, “Bells of Beaujolais’’, in which Naomi Menitoff, Morton Hamilton, Robert Dixon, Pearl Kaufman, and Leslie Newman took part. On May second, both teachers and pupils in Malden High School were shocked by the death of Miss Varnam. No more fitting tribute can be 1910-B It-T.A =a)MALD0NIANfc5 paid to her memory than that which the Senior Class has placed in its year book. “The spirit of eternal youth was in her, The sheer joy of living surged with her blood, Enthusiasm lifted her, making real toil light. Personal magnetism drew to her a host of friends, A wonderful fortitude that concealed from the world how much she suffered,— Such characteristics as these endeared to all who knew her LAURA M. VARNAM,” As our year began to draw to a close, one good time followed closely on the heels of another. On June fifth our Faculty—our remarkably clever Faculty—scored one of the outstanding social success of the year when they presented a series of sketches to entertain the Seniors. Milton must have foreseen our class when he wrote about “Laughter holding both his sides.” As Blue and Gold staff members. Miss Dyer and Miss Rustin dem¬ onstrated a very different paper from the one we usually read; and Mr. Nixon, as a Gentleman Hobo, showed wit and humor that may some day dethrone Will Rogers. When it came time to dance, we hunted in vain for our gym. It had vanished, and in its place was a beautiful garden that made us wonder if we were in the right place, after all. However, the garden gate was closed up tightly at eleven o’clock, never to be seen again. On June thirteenth we gathered once more in the auditorium, and were soon convinced that some of our own genius must have leaked out and dropped into Class Seven. They presented tragedy of the most tragic kind, and comedy that quickly made us forget what had gone before. When the dancing began in the gym, we were all ready to enjoy it. But the clock refused to go more slowly for being glared at, and our fun soon came to an end. The last days of school were filled with importance for Seniors. Honest work found its reward when the honor parts were announced. Harry Fox was named Salutatorian; Dorothy Howlett, Valedictorian; and Charles Carr, Orator. For Class Day parts, John Haley was elected Orator; Armand Benoit, Historian; Charles Rossiter, Class Will; and Henry Britton, George Woodman, Mary Madden, and Charles Gates, Class Prophets. Senior Chorus also took much of our time. And many an amusing story might be told of the times when we were obliged to wait several minutes for our copies of “Columbus”, the cantata to be sung for gradua¬ tion. One morning a member suggested that we sing popular songs. The Stein Song was named and, after much urging, George Woodman appeared before us to teach us the words. He was in the middle of his recitation when Mr. Jenkins, his arms stacked high with music sheets, came tramp¬ ing down the aisle and stood waiting for our young hero to finish. Perhaps Mr. Jenkins looked a trifle surprised and puzzled to find a dignified Senior Chorus learning the Stein Song. But you couldn’t phase George! Looking at Mr. Jenkins, he said, “Well, I’ll have to stop now. Here comes Columbus!” Our three years in Malden High are ended. We have worked hard for the honor and glory of our school, but still our debt is greater than we can pay. In the strength of our knowledge and of the binding friendships that we have formed here, we are going out into a greater world to strive and to win. And now, the Class of 1930-B, with all the tenderness that attends such a parting, bids Malden High School—adieu. mo-B Tt-T.A. Henry C. Britton Charles W. Gates MALHONIAN OIlaBB Prnplfprg One summer evening not many weeks ago the Senior Class gathered in the Assembly Hall to be entertained by its Faculty. In the course of the entertainment we met three charming gypsys one of whom had the gift of prophecy. Early the next morning your class prophets took them¬ selves to the gypsy encampment and sought the aid of the old woman. At first no amount of peering into the crystal ball would reveal a thing about the future of our classmates, but fortunately we had included in our party Charles Carr who carried a bag of money from our class treasury. As he poured some silver into the hand of the crystal gazer a light gleamed in her ball and— Charlie Gates was seen posing as a minute man for a new issue of postage stamps. James Botto, Carl Benson, and Gene Reardon, were blacksmiths in Naomi Menitoff’s Candy Shop. They were shooing flies! Bill Satenstein, Clarence Flashman, and Jack Stearns have become suc¬ cessful haberdashers—they always made a habit of dashing. The crystal revealed Charlie Sullivan taking up Russian, Irish, French, and German. He was running an elevator at Ellis Island. Robert Dixon and Courtland Schofield, as thriving dentists, claim they make teeth like stars. They come out every night! Elroy Halfrey, Allan Baker, and Bill Klein are official testers in Ken McNeil’s match factory. Wilbur Bigelow, the famous singer, was seen concluding his season, at the Saugus Opera House. Marion Good and Kay MacDonald make faces in Charles Ullrich’s watch factory. Helen Willcox, during a correspondence course in book¬ keeping, discovered a way to play hookey from school. She mailed an empty envelope. Geometry owes a new fallacy to Henry Britton. He claims a polygon is a dead parrot. Time discovered a few philosophers in our midst. Lena Patrick produced the cheery advice: “Every cloud has a silver lining until the plating wears off.’’ While Bessie Cohen, Sylvia Golding and Fannie Mozes startled the world by the statement that 50% of the married people today are men. Anna Wall has entered the fence business and Margery Smith has taken up music—from Upham’s, they say. Bessie Zillman and Rose Yaffee are employed as stenographers for Herbert Willcox, the great theatre magnet, whose leading act for the week featured Betty Lopez and “Edie” Lovstrom. At this point the gypsy’s sight into the future became very dim and had to be strengthened by more silver from Charles Carr’s bag. When the I9 0-B H-T. Mary J. Madden George G. Woodman hlALUONIAN crystal again cleared a new high school building was seen. The plans for it were drawn by Frances Lawlor, Lillian Isaacson and Margaret Hilliard. Within was Dorothy Howlett teaching Latin but all her pupils knew was “amo” “amas” “amat” our teacher. Ruth Nager was instructing some giggling freshmen in the crawl stroke in the pool of the new building. Margaret Freeman, however, was teach ing in a very select school for young ladies—she was considered an excellent teacher for the girls. Blanche Murphy and Gertrude McClure, on the other hand, were organizing girl scout troops among the natives of Africa. Florence Stein was employed at the University of Maine where all the students were singing a song to her. Many of our classmates were seen living up to their names. Pearl and Mildred Kaufman were soothing the world with Kaufman’s Kaufman Cough Cure. Alice Sauer had invested in the Sauer Pickle Company and Evelyn Shumaker had fittingly entered the shoe business. The Campbell- Rice-Coffey Company was competing with the Atlantic Pacific. The members of the firm proved to be our old friends, Helen, Alice, Peg, and Bill. Emmanuel Toder, a chiropodist had his office in a corner of Abraham Hoffman’s drug store. The crystal revealed Virginia Bulger and George Doyle chewing the ends of their pens in earnest thought. Virginia writes much poetry for a popular woman’s magazine edited by Anna Power. While George who has written about 12 dozen books has not succeeded in getting one past the censor. Annie Hawkins was the buteress in Annette LaFreniere’s palatial residence. Florence Patterson was demonstrating a new perma¬ nent wave guaranteed to last 3 weeks. Alice Johnson, an extra at Holly¬ wood, was refusing to be starred until the producers agreed to let Saul Levine be her leading man. Antos Kalson has won national renown for bowling over—not pins, but any males who came her way. Velma R. Jackson has succeeded Rudy Vallee crooning over the radio. Elizabeth Flanders is traveling in Europe. She writes home that Europe’s an awfully dumb place. Some of the people can’t even talk English. Bessie Zillman, who is practicing the saxophone, still wonders why so many of her neighbors are moving away. Once more the voices of the gypsy faded and her sight dimmed but the clink of our remaining silver pieces restored her powers for a little while. 1950-B -KT.i =3)MAL[)0N1AN ' There stood Armand Benoit an alumnus of Dartmouth college, giving positive proof that “college bred” does not mean a 4 year’s loaf. Carl Epstein and Robert Fitterman were attracting enormous crowds to the Boston Garden in an arguing endurance contest. Fitterman was leading by a whisper but Epstein hoped to surpass him by liberal use of Doherty’s palate-easing syrup. Gordon Heath has fulfilled his ambition—going up in the world as America’s foremost pilot. Frank Dow and Francis Dillon are financing him on a flight from Malden to the Sandwich Islands. Maurice Daly, a resident of Sunny Spain is recognized as a great “bull thrower”—a unique toreador in that his own carrot-top serves as a red flag to anger the bull. Our noted artist and cartoonist, Robert Allmon, was returning from Paris where he had been doing some advance work. He was being interviewed by Charles Logue, reporter for the Chelsea Herald. Science and big business have recruited from our midst. A great aid to humanity has been discovered in a new ray—somewhat similar to the X-ray, which is called the Betty Ray. Two eminent engineers Harry Fox, and Richard Hill have just constructed a bridge over the Mountain Avenue river. Years of patient thought have not given Saul Fisher a solution to our former math teacher’s favorite problem; “How can you stand on my desk and in the waste paper basket at the same time?” Charles Rossiter was being tendered a testimonial banquet as the newly elected better business bureau. Among the patrons of this bureau were Max Winerman and Alfred Mann, two big men in the hen fruit business. Walter Tully made his pile manufacturing “Leapin Leners” like those of a certain boy in dear old M. H. S. Although Henry Britton has gained fame as a mining engineer, he can’t resist his hobby—music. The Britton Ensemble con¬ tains many faces once seen in the one and only Senior Ensemble. Our travelling salesman, “Pete” Prusak, dispenses Martin Boyle’s remedy for that “pain-in-the-neck” feeling. Harry Faerman runs errands for Edith Farmer, owner of a large millinery establishment. William Forrest and George Woodman, founders of a thriving lumber business, find great re¬ sources in themselves. “Ridem” Ryder followed Batch’s advice and went west to Oshkosh, Minnesota where as a cowboy and bronco buster he is unexcelled. Leslie Newman and Theodore Iverson are stars for Nieforth’s Knowless Film Corporation. Many claim they are remarkably like that once famous pair “Laurel and Hardy.” Edwin Morse has become the world’s champion driver. No, he does not drive racing machines, but little white spheroids known as golf balls. In the big leagues we see “Danny” Crowley as captain and short-stop of the Boston Braves. At present he is burning up the circuit with base hits but his fielding is not so hot, since, like the Ancient Mariner, “he only stoppeth one in three.” The biggest surprise of all came in the form of George Fenton, who has devoted his life to the ministry. Former students of 111 were not utterly surprised. They recall when he read the scriptures and prayed in the absence of Mr. Bartlett. At this point the old gypsy sear hesitated and turned her crystal sphere in many directions. She said she saw a host of faces. Among them she could discern Myra Rawnsley, Morton Hamilton, William O’Malley and Kathryn Raher but she could not tell what they were doing nor could she fully recognize the other faces. Alas, alas, we turned the money bag and our own pockets inside out but not even a copper could we find to streng¬ then the gypsy’s sight. And thus it happens that only time can reveal the fate of some of our most promising fellow students. 1910-B ■r-t.a MALDONKN (EiUBB HtU Charles A.

HALEY, Jr. 1910-B MALDONIAN SENIOR ENSEMBLE The Senior Ensemble was first organized in June, 1929, as the Class Six Orchestra. Only members of the class were eligible. In September, the name was changed to Class Seven Orchestra. Miss Watkins, as adviser of the orchestra, generously gave much of her time to help make it one of the most active and successful organizations in the school. The orchestra played between the acts of “Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme” and “Bachelor Hall.” These engagements were soon followed by a concert for Cog and the musical part of the entertainment at the Senior Reception. In February, the orchestra was renamed as the Senior Ensemble. Among its engagements were the plays, “Nancy Ann” and “The Tiger Earl,” and the Cog Prize Speaking Contest. It also appeared in a concert before the English Club. The Ensemble has left a record of which to be proud. It will be many years before its equal will appear. The members of the orchestra are as follows: Conductor Henry C. Britton Frances Silverman Joseph Lemmo Violins Myra Rawnsley Myer Weiner Marion Good Kathryn Raher Saxophones Orphea L. Anguish Philip Kalick Henry Minasian Trumpets Philip Schultz Evelyn L. Webb Piano Jeannette Cohen Flute Harry Greene Horn Drums Wilbur Bigelow George Hartwell Secretary. Orphea Anguish Treasurer: Evelyn L. Webb Publicity Manager: Harry Greene 1910-B XT MALDONIAN SENIOR OUTING A stranger passing by the big brick building on the corner of Salem and Ferry Streets on the morning of February 10 about 8 o’clock would have sworn that he was in Danvers. Over 125 seniors (to say nothing of Post-Graduates) in some of the strangest and funniest rigs imaginable were running all around the street talking, laughing, eating, singing, jump¬ ing, and in general acting like a bunch of lunatics. Even the weaker sex were no exceptions—they looked just as crazy as the boys and acted more so. The reason for all this confusion was none other than the Senior Winter Outing of the Class of 1930-B. A holiday had been declared with no school, and the happy “gang” was bound for Toy Town Tavern, Winchendon. About 8:30 the party was packed into five big busses and a limousine and was off with “Winchendon or Bust!” Accompanying the seniors were Headmaster Jenkins; Miss Watkins, Senior Adviser; Miss Gilman and Mr. Taylor, guests. (And the bus-drivers!) On the way to Winchendon (and likewise on the way home later) numerous and varied diversions occupied the minds of the seniors, and very unusual ingenuity was exercised in providing entertainment. (For further references, see W. B.). At last Toy Town Tavern was reached and a great shout of joy went up. “Greg” Conley and “Ridem” Ryder were so delighted to have arrived that they opened the door and jumped out of the bus as soon as they came in sight of the Tavern. Skiis at first were the most popular, but eventually being unable to break their three year habit of “taking it easy“, the seniors turned to the toboggans, because .... well.somebody else could pull that up the hill. Sleds were also “a la mode” and quite popular. The feature of the day’s outdoor sports was a slide by George Fenton on a Flexible Flyer that suddenly refused to fly and thus caused George to do so. In spite of this nose-dive, however, the “Hardy Hoss” continued his slides, and later on indulged in a fast game of hockey with several others. About two o’clock dinner was served amid loud cries of “Is that all the turkey?” and “We want more”. Of course, some of the boys resorted to strategy to get second helpings—and what a line they gave the waitresses 1 No deaths were reported from overeating and after the ice-cream indoor sports were resumed until about 3:30. Then everyone went for a few final embraces with “terra firma”, until at 4:15 the last call came, and everyone prepared to leave. The happy seniors were once more packed into the busses and the party set out for home, arriving back in front of the school about 7:30. The committee in charge of this delightful and memorable event con¬ sisted of the “Hardy Hoss” Fenton, chm., “Bill” Klein, Saul Levine, “Peg’ Coffey, and Pearl Novick t910-B H-T.A. =a)MALDONIANtes FACULTY RECEPTION The one time in our whole high school careers when we and our teachers change places proved to be an unforgetable occasion for the Class of 1930-B. At first we felt dignified and grown-up when we realized that we were the guests of that venerable and awesome group of people known as the faculty. But we relaxed again as soon as the entertainment began. Miss Virginia Gerke and Miss Dorothy Gilbert opened the program, daring to appear before us, dignified seniors, in overalls! They sang to us Ibut mostly to each other) about “Dink Toes” and a pretty little song about love. The gypsy scene, featuring “Madame X”, aroused much merriment. Miss Annie Slattery was the temperamental fortune-teller, who would tell anything about love, life, and marriage either in prose or poetry. Miss Octavia Chapin and Edmund Goodreau, her sister and brother, collected the questions among the audience. Hugh Nixon gave a hobo skit, entitled “The Vagabond King”. Of course, he was an English gentleman traveling in America, who deigned to receive food from those he favored with his visits. Miss Marguerite Ammann gave a reading, “HI On Shipboard” and, as an encore, a dialogue between two Swedes. Miss Anna Dyer and Miss Annie Ruston read news items from a Blue and Gold supposed to have been saved from fire by a fortunate wind (some might have called it fortunate). The climax of the performance was “Schooldays”, an act showing what happens in some classes—not all. The accuracy of their aim with chalk is proof that all our teachers weren’t angels in their youth. Following the entertainment there was an informal reception in the gymnasium with Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, Misses Octavia Chapin and Gladys Watkins in the receiving line. The gym was very attractively decorated in a garden effect. Lattice work, pastel shades, trees, tables, and benches, all added greatly to the realistic effect obtained. We can safely say that the gym looked prettier that night than ever before. Dancing was enjoyed and also the grand march—even though we were all tangled up. The faculty reception certainly was a great success and memories of it will linger long in the minds of Class 1930-B. SENIOR RECEPTION On Friday evening, June 13, the Class of 1931-A tendered a farewell reception to the Seniors. At the door the guests were met by a receiving committee composed of Ida Goliff, Grace Thompson, Lloyd Smith, and Milton Silverman and were ushered into the hall. The hall soon filled and the curtain rose on “The Old Woman in the Shoe” (Thelma Fanjoy) and all her children in the shoe, who entertained with an “illustrated” song. Next came “The Crimson Cocoanut”, a one act comedy with Milton Silver- man, Ruth Moses, Donald McGranahan, Grace Thompson, William Clopp, and Alton Krueger. Three girls gave a parody, “The Beaus of Belljolais”, after which came the hit of the evening, “Where the Cross is Made”. This was a weird, mysterious tragedy of sea-life that kept the audience on the edge of their seats until the final curtain. Nathan Swartz was marvelous as Nat, the son of the treasure-crazed old sea-captain. The gathering then retired to the “gym” where the novel decorations, planned by Ruth Ross and her committee, excited much comment. Danc¬ ing to the music provided by Roy Whiteman’s orchestra was enjoyed by all. When the seniors left, (all too soon), it was with a feeling of having had a delightful evening that was a most fitting close to their social career at Malden High. 1950-B Tt-T.A NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY On February 25th of this year ten members of the Class of 1930-B received a distinction that every student eagerly desires—election to the National Honor Society. The ceremony took place at an assembly for the student body, with Chester 0. Swain, a Malden High graduate, speaker for the occasion. Mr. Swain gave an interesting talk emphasizing the ideals of the Honor Society—character, leadership, scholarship, and service, and paying a tribute to the late Mr. John W. Hutchins, for whom the Malden Chapter was named. Miss Elinor Gay, representing the graduate members of the Society, then administered the oath of membership to the following students who have been deemed worthy of admission to the Honor Society, by a committee of the faculty: Armand A. Benoit, Henry Britton, Charles E. Carr, John F. Egan, John H. Haley, Mary J. Madden, Charles A. Rossiter, Myra Rawnsley, Evelyn Webb, and Max Winerman. These students have! throughout their school careers, not only excelled in scholarship, but have been leaders in various school activities, and have done their utmost to uphold the ideals of Malden High School. t950-D ■R.T.A. THE BLUE AND GOLD Behold the staff of the famous “Blue and Gold”, one of the snappiest and best school papers in New England. This year it has had for its editors- in-chief (for the first time in history, perhaps) two brothers, John and Robert Haley. John held the position from September until June, when Robert took up the reins to continue as editor-in-chief until next spring. The Class of 1930-B has been well represented on the Staff and there are many reluctantly giving up their positions on the Staff. The members of the Staff have shov n a fine spirit in producing this fine paper. Let’s hope that their efforts will be encouraged by a 100% subscription to it! MALDONIAN LIT The Literary Society opened the semester with the following officers: president, Charles Rossiter; vice-president, Leslie Newman; secretary, Gordon Heath; treasurer, George Steele; deputy. Westward Robbins; pub¬ licity manager, Charles Gates; and executive council, Charles Carr and Bruce Brown. During the semester Lit rose to athletic supremacy by defeating Cog in an indoor track meet at the Armory. At this writing she is preparing to defend her laurels in an outdoor track meet to include all the boys’ or¬ ganizations of the school. The annual one act play contest, the feature of the year, is now well under way, and it is expected that it will prove just as popular as last year. Altogether, “Lit” has had a fine administration, with the spirit of “Lit” ever on the upward trend. USONA Usona began its fifty-second administration with a great deal of en¬ thusiasm and a fund of fine plans. The enthusiasm lasted all through the semester, and many of the ambitious plans were carried out. The officers chosen for the semester were president, Mary Madden; vice president, Elizabeth Eddy; secretary, Ruth E. Potter; treasurer, Louise Hartley. The plan of having a book review given at each meeting was adopted at the suggestion of Usona’s very helpful adviser, Mr. Matthews. In ad¬ dition to these reviews, programs were put on which included talks by the popular faculty members, Mr. Matthews and Miss Slattery. In its list of outside diversions Usona included a theatre party and its annual reunion banquet, held this year at a well-known Boston restaurant. Usona wishes the Class of 1930-B a happy future, with special good wishes to its graduating president, Mary Madden. COG The Cognoscendi Causa Society, better known as “Cog”, is now in the eighth year of its existence. During this brief period of time, it has risen to great heights and is now one of the four leading school societies. “Cog’s” purpose is to further interest in debating and speaking, and two of its greatest contributions toward this end are the Annual Prize Speaking Contest and the presentation of a cup to the Graduation Orator. This year the Speaking Contest was won by Jeannette Lodgen (sister of one of “Cog’s” most active presidents of a few years ago). Charles Carr and Robert Fitterman captured second and third, and also the trip to Colby College. The present administration has done much under the guidance of the following officers: John Haley, president; Robert Fitterman, vice-president; Robert Haley, secretary; Harry Greene, treasurer; Edward Cushman, publicity manager; executive board, Ely Isenberg, Albert Goldberg, and Saul Levine. 19 0-D mo b mm MALHONIAN MALDONIAN M. H. S. ENGLISH CLUB The English Club is completing its fifth year of existence. Although it is one of the youngest societies in the School, it is among the four most prominent. A great deal of the Club’s progress may be attributed to its devoted and untiring adviser, Miss Wetmore, who hardly ever misses a meeting. The officers also deserve much of the credit for the C lub’s success. They are Charles E. Carr, President; Anna Power, Vice President; Frances Lawlor, Secretary; Robert Fitterman, Treasurer; Madeline Stavisky, Publicity Manager; Robert Haley, Deputy; Charles Rossiter and John Haley, Execu¬ tive Board. The annual play last semester was a very great success, probably the greatest ever. The annual Prize Essay Contest was likewise successful. Besides these two annual activities, the Club presented an assembly speaker in the person of Paul M. Foss, who gave an enlightening sketch of court procedure. Altogether it has been a year of great progress for the English Club. FRENCH CLUB Under the able guidance of Carl Epstein, president; Madeline Stavisky, vice-president; Dorothy Howlett, secretary; Ruth Ross, treas¬ urer; and Robert Fitterman, publicity manager; the French Club has completed another successful administration. The purpose of the Club is to arouse interest in French and to improve one’s ability at speaking French, and it is safe to say that the Club has made great strides towards these ends during the past semester, with the ever-present aid and advice of Miss Berton, the Club adviser. During the administration, the Club was deprived of a wonderful friend and loyal worker by the death of Miss Varnam, head of the French department. The Club here takes occasion to express its grief at her departure, and to show its appreciation for all she has done for it. GREENROOM DRAMATIC SOCIETY A few years ago this organization was created by a small, enthusiastic group interested in literature and dramatics. Then, as now, those were their chief interests. Since it is the only dramatic organization in the school, it is quite popular. Although it is still young, it has a large membership. The entertainment of each meeting usually consists of the reading of a play, a poem, or a story by some well-known author. Frequently, how¬ ever, the members show their own talent by reading an original story or play, or acting out a play. The following are the officers of this semester: President, Charles A. Rossiter; Vice President, Mary J. Madden; Secretary, Ruth E. Potter; Treasurer, Charles M. Sullivan. 19 0-B ■r-t.a MALHONIAN OPERA CLUB The Opera Club is a very new organization in M. H. S., having been organized last fall by Miss Perkins. Its officers are Morton Hamilton, president; Ernest Cosman, vice-president; Edith Rubin, secretary; and Robert Dixon, publicity manager. The Club purposes to present some operetta or light opera once each year. Its first presentation, “The Bells of Beaujolais”, was given on May 23 and was a sensational success. The chief characters were Kenneth Davis as the Duke, Wilbur Bigelow as John Bender, Morton Hamilton as Larry, Robert Dixon as Tony, Elsther LaFreniere as Phillis, Kathryn Cun- ingham as Yvonne, Maida Putnam as Belle, Naomi Menitoff as Susette, Leslie Newman as Harkins, Pearl Kaufman as Fantine, Gordon Davis as Pierre, Erna van der Groen as the Countess, Annette Baum as Aunt Sarah Jessup, and Benjamin Zimmerman as Chicot. After this outstanding success, there is little doubt but that the Opera Club will continue to offer similar presentations with the same success. CLASS SEVEN For a year after entering Malden High the Class of 1931-A remained unorganized. Then, in Class Five, under the excellent supervision of Miss Abbott, class adviser, they chose their officers and became an active organi¬ zation. They immediately set to work planning their first class party, and with Miss Abbott and Paul Brookes supervising activities, the affair was a great successs. This event closed the social doings of the class for the semester! Upon their return to school in the fall the class set about the business of purchasing rings and pins to further identify itself as one of the “upper classes.” Then a great change took place in the lives of the members of the class; they became seniors and immediately assumed the air of dignity and importance which they felt belonged with their newly acquired position. Another election was held and Henry Bernstein became president; kllsie Mellish, vice president; Grace Thompson, secretary; and William Clopp, treasurer. After weeks of planning, th e crowning event of the semester, the senior reception took place on Friday, the thirteenth of June. CLASS SIX Class Six organized in the early part of November under the guidance of their adviser, Mr. Morrill. The Class elected as officers Fred Oliver, President; Arthur Davis, Vice-President; Irving Pavlo, Secretary; and Hilda Boehm, Treasurer. The next event in the Class Six calendar was its first party, which was held May ninth in the gym. The entertainment was furnished by several talented members of the Class. In every sport. Class Six enthusiasm is evident. Football claims “Ted” Etchings, Fred Oliver, and “Herb” Nelson; Track, Harold Morgan, “Herb” Pass, Fred Oliver, and Hyman Silverstein; Baseball, Arthur Davis, “Ike” Day, and Ralph Kranetz; Basketball, Capt. Kranetz; Swimming, Mario Storlazzi and Walter Maraghy; Rifle Team, Capt. Harold Macinnis and George Holland. The Boehm twins and Virginia Blomerth represent the girls in Tennis, Basketball, Bowlin g, and Field Hockey. On the staff of the Blue and Gold are Irving Pavlo, Freda Kalin, Ruth E. Potter, Max Singer, Warren Wilson, and Amy Thomas with Robert Haley as Editor-in- chief. “Bob” is also President of the English Club next semester. Class Six wishes the Seniors success and looks forward to assuming their position next year. 19 0-D ■R-T.A MALDONIAN ' MALDEN PUGH SCHOOL BAND The Class of 1930-B may indeed be proud of its record in the School Band. Throughout its career in M. H. S., it has been one of the leading classes in the support of this activity. More than ten members will be lost to the Band when the Class of 1930-B graduates. The Band started off the year as usual by playing at all the football games. Shortly after the close of the season, the Band-master, Mr. Crowley, passed away and Mr. Whiting took over the leadership of the Band. The Band entered the State Contest at Waltham in May, but was un¬ able to emulate its work of last year, and failed to win a prize. Neverthe¬ less, we are all proud of our Band, and feel that it ranks among the best in the State. MALDEN HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA The Class of 1930-B has been one of the most musical classes ever to enter M. H. S., as is amply demonstrated by its representation in the var¬ ious school musical organizations. This is especially true of the Orchestra. The Orchestra has not had many outside engagements during the past year, but it has made fame for itself, nevertheless. In the State Con¬ test at Waltham the Orchestra won second prize in Class D, being excelled only by the North Junior High of Quincy. Next year Mr. Whiting hopes to capture the first prizes in both divisions at the State Contest. TERCENTENARY CELEBRATION The year 1930 has not only had a very gi eat significance to the Class of ’30-B in matters pertaining to school, but it has also had a very great importance because of the Tercentenary exercises during the week of May 11-17. During this week the Lord Mayor of Maldon, England was the guest of the city, and an elaborate program was carried out. Banquets, receptions, commemorative exercises, parades, and a pageant were some of the high¬ lights of this program. On Wednesday the school parade took place with M. H. S. being repre¬ sented by an imposing float, the School Band, and a large number of girls. The girls were dressed as Puritan Misses with white caps and long gray dresses. The float (shown on opposite page) showed some of the common methods of punishment for offenses in the old Puritan days, and was one of the outstanding features of the parade. 1950-D maldoman i 0rnntt?0 mh KAPPA PHI Twenty-nine years ago a group of girls founded the first sorority of Malden, the Alpha Chapter of Kappa Phi. Since then Kappa Phi has remained one of the foremost sororities in the school. Among its activities this year were a “Lucky Dance” on Friday, the thirteenth of December; a ban¬ quet at the Woman’s Republican Club in Boston; and the Inter¬ sorority, run in conjunction with three other sororities. Kappa Phi extends its heartiest wishes for success to the Class of 1930-B. EN KA En Ka has just completed its 26th year of activity in Malden High. The year started off with a very successful dance in Septem¬ ber, to be followed by the big An¬ nual, and closed by a Sport Dance at the Winchester Boat Club. At Thanksgiving, Christmas, and on Carnation Day the girls offered their services to the charitable or¬ ganizations of the city and at¬ tempted to do their bit. En Ka wishes 1930-B the great¬ est of success! KAI LUN ECCE SIGNUM Ecce Signum is the only sorority in M. H. S. to have faculty advisers, and much of its great success is due to its advisers. Miss Dyer and Miss Ruston. Ecce Signum is likewise probably the only sorority in M. H. S. to help the needy at Thanksgiving and Christmas by donating food and clothing. Among Ecce Signum’s social successes this year were the annual fall dance and a play, “Nancy Ann”. The Alpha Chapter of Kai Lun Sorority credits its successful sea¬ son to the sincerity, enthusiasm, and cooperation of the active mem¬ bers, plus the interest of the Alumnae. Its two greatest events so far have been the Informal Dance at Southern House and a formal in conjunction with the Beta Chapter of Revere. At present all are an¬ ticipating the final informal to be held soon. PHI DELTA PHI SIGMA PHI The outstanding social event of the Sigma Phi calendar was its formal dance at Longwood Towers. Then came the annual Panadelphic Stunt Nite, at which Sigma Phi girls displayed their talent. Sigma Phi has been especially interested in athletics this year and the girls have participated in bowl¬ ing, basketball, and tennis. The Phi Delta Phi Sorority has had an interesting and successful season. An informal dance was held on December 21 at the Hotel Somerset and the annual formal on March 21 at the Copley Plaza. The Sorority’s seventh anniversary was celebrated during the week of May 19. The programs for each day Avere Temple, Initiation, Solemn Night, Bowling, Theatre Party, Dutch Supper, and Hike, respec¬ tively. mo-B ■R-T.a MALDONIAN KAPPA ALPHA PI Kappa Alpha Pi has just com¬ pleted one of the most remarkable years of its existence with a long list of financial and social successes to its credit. The Kappas held two fall dances at Oak Manor on November 1 and December 26. Then came the “red letter event” of the entire year, the annual Founders’ Day celebration with a big formal banquet and dance at Middleton Arms. Next came the annual “after Easter” dansant and finally a “white flannel” dance at the MTnchester Boat Club. K. A. Pi bids a heartfelt farewell to all the members of 1930-B and especially to its own brothers, Charles Carr, Charles Cullen, Walter Doherty, and John Haley. OMICRON DELTA Omicron Delta is the oldest fra¬ ternity in M. H. S., having been es¬ tablished over thirty years ago. Although it has lost some of its former prestige, it is rapidly re¬ gaining it through its numerous activities. Examples of these in the past semester were the Annual Banquet at the Malden Club and the annual May Dance. 0. D. is the only fraternity in the school with an Alumni Association whose main purpose is to back the active chapter physically, morally, and financially. Among the graduating class are the following 0. D. members: Charles A. Rossiter, Courtland Schofield, and Charles M. Sullivan. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA GAMMA SIGMA Gamma Sigma fraternity looks back with pardonable pride on the achievements of its thirty-first year in M. H. S. The first event of the year was a cake-sale at the Electric Co. office, then came the annual New Year’s dance with A. D. S., the Washington Birth day dance at the Highland Club, and an Alumni Club dance. “Gamma Sig” hopes to make next year just as successful as this one. Alpha Delta Sigma has just com¬ pleted another busy and successful season. First came a Thanksgiving dance at the Putnam House, then the annual New Year’s Eve Dance with Gamma Sigma, followed by two more informal dances, and a sport dance. To end up the year “with a bang” a big banquet was held at Deer Cove Inn. Among the prominent represen¬ tatives of A. D. S. in athletics are Douglas Catto, Charles Hill, Fred Oliver, Allan Baker, Fred Nose¬ worthy, and Richard Evans. ALPHA MU For nine years Alpha Mu has been one of the outstanding fra¬ ternities in M. H. S. Among its activities this year were a very very successful New Year’s Dance, a Grand Chapter dance that even excelled that, a big Sport Dance, and an outing at Whalom Park in June. This year has been the most successful one of Alpha Mu’s exis¬ tence. ALPHA ZETA PI Although Alpha Zeta Pi is com¬ paratively young, being only eight years old, it is making a fine record, both socially and fratern¬ ally. The first big event of the year was a formal dance at the Commander Hotel. This was fol¬ lowed by an informal affair at Hotel Brunswick and a Motorboat Party. The most important event of the year was the receipt of the charter on October 19, 1929. mo-D 11.T.A MALDONIAN The spirit of eternal youth was in her. The sheer joy of living surged with her blood.

Many of us will continue our studies at various educational institutions; an equally large number will plunge directly into the world of affairs. Some of us may never see each other again, but we part with the most pleasant remembrances of our High School experiences. We have worked together, and we have played to¬ gether, all loyally striving to raise the standards of our class. We may not always have availed ourselves fully of our opportunities; there are, perhaps, many achievements upon which we could improve, if the occasion were to present itself; but we leave M. H. S. with the feeling that the Class of 1930-B has loyally, and efficiently upheld the traditions, and the repu¬ tation of our school. Throughout the j ' -ears, at study, work, or play, let us always remember our class, and endeavor always to maintain the ideals that we gained and upheld during our happy years as classm ates at M. H. S. ADVICE AT GRADUATION TIME Every year as Graduation time draws near, the members of the class about to depart are the objects of a seemingly never-ending stream of admonition, advice, and encouragement. And as most humans do when they have become used to a thing, they are liable to slight these offerings and to forget their real intention. Throughout our high school career, it has been the boast of our class that we have stood at the top in everything. On the football field, the diamond, the cinders, and in short, all athletics, our class has been one of the best represented of all. In Cog, Lit, Usona, the English Club, and all the other associations of this sort, our class members have been the leaders. In debating and public speaking activities, our class has been supreme—the entire M. H. S. debating team that defeated Manchester was made up of members of our class. In musical activities, our class has been the leader again—we organized and maintained the most successful Class Orchestra in the history of the school. In everything we have been leaders—leaders in accomplishment. Now when we hear the usual advice always offered to those who are about to “go out into the hard, cruel world”, we want to remember that we have a reputation to uphold. We must not take the attitude “Oh, that’s a lot of bunk”, but instead we want to remember that it is up to each one of us to continue the record we have begun here. Make the world your Malden High and see how many more “Senior Ensembles” you can pro¬ duce! 19 0-B ■R-t.a MALDONIAN THE WORLD OF AFFAIRS An event of vast international importance has just occurred. A newspaper correspondent is feverishly pounding at his typewriter. The world is anxiously awaiting the outcome. Let us take the above paragraph as our premise and with a little imagination let us develop the thought and consider how it applies to every one of us. Our Alma Mater, M. H. S., has about twenty-five subjects listed in its curriculum. Each student has probably studied half that number. We shall assume that four Malden High graduates are involved in the gath¬ ering, publishing and distributing of this momentous news. The first alumnus is “Tom”. While at Malden High, he was especially interested in journalism and contributed much literary work to the school paper—the Blue and Gold. He graduated from the college course and took typewriting and stenography as extras. To gather and “write up” the event, the knowledge of every subject he studied was used directly or indirectly. The reporter’s opinions and beliefs had all been previously influenced by the instruction he received in American History—for ex¬ ample: he probably stressed a certain policy connected with this inter¬ national event. Who made him favor this policy? The teacher he had in history—although he might not realize it. Of course, good English is essential to his work. The second alumnus is “Dick”. He is an engineer. The instruction he received in physics, trigonometry, algebra, chemistry,etc. is used in maintaining and erecting the telegraph, cable or television line. “Harry” is number three. He is a successful business man. He reads the news and perhaps interprets its effect on his livelihood. His knowledge of economics, commercial law, Latin, French or German enable him to intelligently understand the situation and the foreign phrases used. “Betty” we shall take as the last alumnus. She is employed in the illustrating department of the newspaper. She draws cartoons and visual¬ izes the events for the readers. Commercial geography, freehand drawing and possibly mechanical drawing enable her to gain prominence in her work. What am I driving at? Why all these examples? The answer is simple. We rarely realize and appreciate what our teachers have done for us. If we succeed, we claim all the honor. If we fail, we look to other causes than ourselves and naturally blame someone or something else. We believe our opinions are our own when someone else really is responsible for our beliefs and deserves at least a part of the credit. “As the twig is bent so grows the tree” is a familiar old expression. We think we have grown straight when it was, in reality, our teachers who moulded our thought and possibly our characters. Perhaps one of them gave you an inspiration or guided you to a certain profession. So, “lest we forget”, remember the teachers who gave our generation its start in the world of affairs; who laid the foundation for our country’s greatness by means of education. They have not striven in vain. Credit where credit is due. A toast to our faculty! mo-B maldoman Malden High School As You Will Remember It Thirty Years Hence John H.

At first we met as strangers, Then fast our friendship grew. Till now we meet as old friends— Old friends, tried and true. She was always there to help us. Always glad to lend a helping hand; Talk of “cheerful and inspiring”. Say, none better in the land. So I know we won’t forget her Through the years of Father Time, And often times we’ll think of her And the days of “Auld Lang Syne”. —Morton P. Hamilton. WILL YOU EVER FORGET;— Fitterman’s sweet soprano voice? George Fenton’s bashfulness? Paul Smith’s shyness? George Woodman’s solemnity? the “mustachio”-ed “Coopie” and “Hoss”? Gordon Heath’s talkativeness? the time Harry Fox didn’t get all A’s? the Stein Song as sung by the “Horribilian” Chorus of 111? the little brown hat that Fenton wore? the darling way Mr. Bartlett says “immediately”? the lovely “pipe” talks in Miss Slattery’s classes? the millions of times you’ve heard “that you have there”? the black bow tie that Woodman wore one day in March 1930? the “one-stop” flight that George Fenton took with Frances Lawlor on the outing? the Glee Club advertisements on the bulletin by Wilbur Bigelow? the dyspeptic dancing act that Gates and Evans used to put on every recess in Room 111? how willingly and promptly the Senior Class paid up their dues? how everyone used to huzzah when an assembly was announced? the “M(ob)” dances at the Malden Club, run by Jack and Marty, Coopie and Hoss, Pete and Obie, Joe and Moe, Tom, Dick, and Harry, and what will you? WO-D H-T.A Autografit;a 1950-B ATHLETICS ST e T � .T.A, tiALDOMAN FOOTBALL When the Malden High Football team defeated its ancient rival in the Thanksgiving classic, it completed one of the finest seasons ever. Besides Medford, we defeated such outstanding teams as Everett, Melrose, Haver¬ hill, Newton and Rogers High (R. L). The Rhode Island school had the honor of being the only one to cross Malden’s goal-line. Newton was de¬ feated for the first time in ten years. The only game that Malden did not Avin was the Manchester (N. H.) game, which resulted in a scoreless tie. No little credit should be given to Coach Goodreau, who succeeded “Batch” as coach of the Blue and Gold. A great deal of praise should also be given to Assistant Coach McGuirk, who coached the line. Coach Goodreau claims that this year’s team, led by Captain “Sam” Fishman was one of the greatest that he has ever handled. When one sees such men as Fenton, Lapidus, Winerman, McCarthy, Bolton, Suvalsky, Etchings, Capt-elect Perry, “Charlie” and “Dick” Hill in the line, and a backfield composed of Fishman, Prusak, O’Brien, Kelly and Beaman, he can easily understand this. The Malden fans were treated to many thrills throughout the season, but most outstanding was the Medford game, when the Malden team stood with its back to the wall and held the Blue and White on its three yard line. Or will anyone forget that 55 yard run by Captain “Sam”, which ultimately won the game for Malden? Indeed, the 1929 Malden team can truly be called, “The Golden Tornado”. TRACK TEAM With a few veterans to start with. Coach Batchelder built up a very successful track team, both indoors and out. Indoors the team lost only two out of five meets, and these were to a prep school and the best high school team in the State. The greatest event of the indoor season was an overAvhelming victory over our ancient rival, Medford. In the interscholastic meets the team fared very well, winning second in the Northeastern Meet, fourth in the Andover Meet, and finishing near the top in the State Meet. Outdoors the team finished at the head of the list in the Harvard State Meet and made a good record in dual meets. The relay team was one of the fastest in the State. Several of the best men will be lost to the team next year by gradua¬ tion: Capt. Cooperstein, Faerman, Fenton, and Winerman. SWIMMING TEAM Coach Pollock started the 1929-1930 Swim ming Season with very few veterans. All of the thirty who reported were retained on the squad, but only the best performers competed in meets. The team cannot boast of a long list of victories, having won two out of ten but the competition it encountered was by no means the softest in the State. The team met such teams as Andover, Exeter, Huntington, Gardner, and Boston English; and won over the Nautical Training Ship School and Roxbury Memorial High. Those who received letters were Capt. Douglas Catto, Mario Storlazzi, George Kevorkian, Harrison Crane, William Clopp, William Clark, Richard Evans, Walter Maraghy, Allan Baker, Harry Pearse, Armand Benoit, and Donald McGranahan. mo-B tiALDONIAN BASEBALL With a smashing shutout victory over its ever mighty rival from Haverhill, the 1930 Blue and Gold Diamond Machine completed the greatest season ever enjoyed by any Malden Ball Team. After dropping a bitterly fought struggle to Medford in the curtain raiser, the Blue and Gold Torn¬ ado twisted and tore its way through the strongest opposition that Schol¬ astic Circles afford. 13 victories—three of them shutouts—one tie, and one defeat; this is the proud record that establishes the justice of Malden’s claim to State Championship Honors. No High School in New England was forced to encounter the high class brand of opposition that the Blue and Gold wrecking-crew demolished. The strongest teams in the state: Medford, Everett, Lynn Classical, Haverhill, all fell before the onslaught of the “Tornado” in its assault upon the citadel of State Championship Honors. As the 1930 season draws to a close, two mainstays of this “champion¬ ship” team bid farewell to high school baseball. Danny Crowley, one of the greatest shortstops ever developed at Malden, and “Bibby” Swartz, who covered the initial sack in big-league style, are the two stars whose gradu¬ ation leaves a gaping hole in the machine-like infield of the Blue and Gold. Two places to be filled, then: “F’arewell to the logical State Champions of 1930; hail to the undisputed champions of Massachusetts in 1931!” BOYS’ BASKETBALL The Malden High School Basketball team has completed its third season of athletic competition, and its second under Coach Morrill. Coach Morrill deserves much praise for the great work he has done in getting together such a fine team to represent Malden High. The first year he coached the team he was greatly handicapped, as all games had to be played away from home. This year the Malden Armory was obtained for a few games, and a great improvement was shown. Of the sixteen games played, Malden won six and lost ten. This is a very good record, considering the fact that the sport is only in its third year here and that the team met some of the most formidable teams in New England. Malden was victorious over Milton Academy, the Alumni, Lynn Classical, Natick, Reading, and Portsmouth (N. H.). Some of the best teams in the state were met, such as Fitchburg, Ar¬ lington, Lynn English, and Medford, these teams being the only ones that outclassed Malden. In all the other games Malden lost by no more than three points, such as the game with Beverly, which was lost 23-21 in an overtime period. M. H. S. RIFLE CLUB The M. H. S. Rifle Club, under the excellent supervision of Coach Carl E. Taylor, has completed the most successful year of its history. As a member of the National Junior Rifle Association, they won second place in Class B and third in C for the first series, second in B for the second series, and finished at the top for the third series. In scholastic matches they defeated such teams as Stoneham, Woburn, Gloucester, and Tech. For the first time in history, they entered the Service and Civilian Rifle Club League, being the only high school represented. Though pitted against very experienced shooters, they finished in third place and captured a trophy. Some of the marksmen who have done much to help win the many cups and trophies in the Club’s possession are Capt. Macinnis, Dickie, Trout, Scanlon, Wallace, Nichols, Howland, West, Clark, and Sheehan. 1910-D 19 0-B «-T.A. liALDONIAN GIRLS’ BASKETBALL The Girls’ Basketball team has once more brought our school into the limelight by its brilliant record for 1930 . Out of twelve games they emerged victorious in all but two, and one of these losses was effaced by a decisive victory over the same team later. The first team line-up was as follows: R. F. Capt. Helen Boehm, L. F. Hilda Boehm, J. C. Virginia Blomerth, S. C. Virginia Hitchcock, R. G. Jeannette Wilder, and L. G. Jean Mclnnis. The scores for the season were: Malden 38, Mansfield 18 Malden 41, Medford 15 Malden 60, Somerville 7 Malden 43, Marblehead 48 Malden 64, Chelsea 10 Malden 50, Medford 15 Malden 22, Swampscott 47 Malden 47, Marblehead 17 Malden 45, Arlington 17 Malden 53, Somerville 8 Malden 50, Chelsea 14 Malden 50, Everett 20 GIRLS’ FIELD HOCKEY The Girls’ Hockey Team of 1929, coached by Miss Muriel Johnson, displayed some fine playing abilitj ' and sportsmanship in the second season of hockey at Malden High. Helen Tingdahl was elected captain and Sara Barber, manager. Ruth Potter, Sara Barber, and Josephine Bishop made a good showing at the try-outs of the Boston Field Hockey Association held at Newton. The schedule included games with Melrose, Hingham, Swampscott, Arlington, and Somerville. The line-up was as follows: L. W. Virginia Blomerth L. I. Jean Mclnnis; Center Helen Tingdahl R. 1. Evelyn Spraker R. W. Gertrude McClure L. H. Dorothy McClure C. H. Ruth Potter Q. H. Edith Barrett L. F. Virginia Hitchcock R. F. Sara Barber Goal Josephine Bishop GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM At the time of this writing, the Girls’ Tennis Team has played only three of its scheduled matches. Hilda and Helen Boehm and Pauline Gillespie are playing singles, and Ruth Potter with Virginia Blomerth and Ruth Miller with Mary McSweeney are playing doubles. The schedule is as follows: Brookline, Cog, Winchester, Reading, Manchester, Concord, Win- throp, Arlington, and Manchester. mo-D U-T.A. MALDONIAN TENNIS With all of last year’s team graduated, the M. H. S. Tennis Team started off under a great disadvantage. Considering its lack of experienced men, the team has made a good record. The team played ten matches. Three of these were with Andover, Exeter, and Tufts Freshmen, all teams above high school competition. Andover and Exeter won easily, but Tufts barely emerged victorious by a 4-2 score. Malden fared better in its other matches and won four out of seven. They won over Lynn Classical 3-2, Cambridge Latin 4-1, and Woburn 7-0, 4-1; while they lost to Newton, Everett, and Somerville in close matches. Those who received letters are Isadore Novick, Robert Allmon, Hyman Levine, William Harderman, and Charles Carr. GIRLS’ BOWLING The Girls’ Bowling Team, under the direction of Coach Muriel Johnson, Jias just finished another successful season. Gertrude McMahon, a senior, was manager of the team. The high scorers for the season were: Gertrude McMahon, with a high single of 105, Antas Kalson with 103, Evelyn Spraker with 95, and Helen Boehm with 94. Others who deserve much credit for their fine work are Hilda Boehm, Freida Hillson, and Rita Barry. The scores for the season are as follows: M. H. S.—1401, Onteoras—1423. M. H. S.—1225, Cheverus—1162. M. H. S.—1222, All Stars—1159. M. H. S.—1214, Kappa Alpha Pi Fraternity—1244. 1910-D 1CT.
