Twitciiell ®l{ornt0n tnklns j albetr i Il School Richard Evelyn Byrd is a name known throughout this country as the perfect symbol of the current Amer¬ ican ideal. Wide fame is his for his many achievements, and great have been his contributions to aeronautical science. He has been feted here and abroad, and has been rewarded by his own government with the post of Rear Admiral in the navy. As a lecturer he is fluent, graceful, and interesting, and, hence, grea tly admired. Such honors and such a position in the public esteem cannot but be deserved, since the public fosters no im¬ posters for long. His career of air exploration is un¬ paralleled in the annals of the world; he has flown over both the North and South Poles and edged in also a non-stop trans-atlantic flight. For these exploits he has been rewarded with the Hubbard Gold Medal and nuyn- erous special medals struck by the National Geographic Society. At present he is engaged in preparations for another Antarctic expedition. All these, taken as a whole or examined in their peculiar circumstances, give evi¬ dence as to his progressiveness, bravery, skill, and in¬ telligence which he has all out of proportion to most of his fellow-mortals. The Class of 1936 realizes that its praise or blame will affect but little his career,—that is not the purpose of dedicating the yearbook to him and his work. The real purpose is to bring more closely to the mind and heart of each graduate the personification of the Amer¬ ican id.eal and to encourage each graduate in the emu¬ lation of Richard Byrd’s outstanding qualities of mind and spirit.

Are we to believe that war is inevitable, an unavoidable scourge of mankind, or may we hope that earnest and continued effort will achieve a lasting world peace? The workers for world peace, both American and European, concerned as they are that the right answers be made to those ques¬ tions, are even more concerned that the right answer be given to this question: What shall be America’s part in maintaining world peace? Generally speaking, it has been the policy of the United States to abstain as much as possible from participation in international affairs. The wisdom of this policy, advocated by Washington in his Farewell Ad¬ dress, has, in the minds of many people, been confirmed by our sad ex¬ perience in the World War. Many Americans today believe a strict adherence to this policy of non-participation in international affairs to be the only solution to America’s problem of how to keep out of the next war. Others consider it not only her moral duty but also the only hope for her permanent security for America to lend her aid to prevent the next war. The problem of America resolves itself, therefore, into a choice between a course of isolation from international affairs and one of participation in international affairs. If America should choose isolation, there are three states of neutrality that she might assume and that are more or less in conformity with her historical policy. First, adhering to this course of isolation in its strictest sense, she might confine her entire trade and commerce, to say nothing of communi¬ cations and sympathies, to the Western Hemisphere. How thoroughly impracticable this plan would be may be judged from Jefferson’s failure before the War of 1812, with the Embargo and the Non-Intercourse Acts. The other two forms of neutrality that the United States might adopt would be either endure neutrality or to wage neutrality. To endure neu¬ trality, that is, to continue in her commerce with either of the warring nations or with other, non-belligerent nations of the world, would involve making no effort either to stop or to avenge, by force, the sinking of any of her merchant ma rine or the taking of American lives. A course such as this would invite the contempt not only of foreign nations, but of the American people as well, and would soon result in the loss of the inter¬ national prestige of the United States. Apart from the financial loss, the native spirit of independence and freedom among Americans would force America to assume the third kind of neutrality; that of waging neutrality. For America to wage neutrality would mean that she use armed force to protect her merchant marine. Almost inevitably, the United States would become involved in the struggle. It is interesting to note here that in the latter stages of the World War, America’s attempts to wage neu¬ trality because of her resentment at the violation by Germany of her maritime rights finally drew her into the conflict. Thus, we see that America, in different periods of her history, has tried and failed to practice successfully each of these three form of neutrality. Today, moreover, the policy of isolation and neutrality to keep America out of war is impossible, for her material interests as a great industrial nation, and her moral pretensions as a Chrisstian nation require that she bend her efforts to prevent w’ar. Therefore, the only alternative course for America to follow is that of participation in inter¬ national affairs and assumption of international responsibilities. There is bound to be much opposition to such a course, not only be¬ cause it is contrary to the historical policy of our nation, but also because our experiences in the World War and the Paris Peace Conference protest loudly against further attempts by America to conciliate the nations of the world to a permanent peace. However, the effort to do so is a great and a worthy one, as befits a great and a worthy nation; previous failure should not deter such a nation, founded, as it is, on courage and stead¬ fastness of purpose, from overcoming all obstacles. However, if the efforts of the United States to secure world peace are of no avail, she must change the premises upon which she has based and continues to base her efforts for the prevention of war. All American plans for the prevention of war have been founded on the assumption that war is morally wrong and materially unprofitable—an assumption which conforms entirely to our national circumstances and realities. A war of aggression would be criminal and unprofitable for a country such as ours, threatened by no enemy powers, and possessing within its borders ail the resources essential for prosperity. The situation in Europe, un¬ fortunately, is far different. Germany considers the existing state of the world not a true peace, but the result of the Treaty of Versailles which, she claims, is morally and economically unjust. Italy, demanding what she calls justice, above peace, has used armed strength to secure her share of world colonies. For both these nations, even though they are con¬ scious of the horrors of modern warfare, war holds the lure of material reward. Therefore, the American appeal for peace on moral or economic grounds find little or no response in Europe today. The security of America, it seems, has blinded its statesmen to the insecurity of Europe. We, who consider it perfectly safe to keep not one fortification on the three thousand miles of our northern frontier, have lost sight of the fact that the nations of Europe, extremely vulnerable because of their proximity, must maintain their frontier fortifications, their armies, and their navies. Therefore, the theory of disarmament, so enthusiastically proposed by the United States, cannot be compre¬ hended by the powers of Europe. The realities of Europe, then, must determine the nature of a plan to secure peace in the world. Since Europe considers force the only effec¬ tive means to secure peace, America, if she is to engage actively in the pursuit of peace, must be prepared to join Europe in forceful methods. The important question, however, is, through what agency is this force to be applied? I believe that a League of Nations, not the present League but a newly constsituted one, is the best agency to administer force as an instrument for peace, despite the most disheartening failure of the present League to prevent war. This new League, however, must possess that which the present League lacks: moral strength, economic strength, and military strength; and it can effectively exert this moral, economic and military strength only if the LTnited States is a member of it. The membership of the new League should include at least five- sevenths of the civilized nations of the world. Each of these nations must be willing to contribute her share, military and economic, to make the League an effective agency. Each nation, in case of an international dispute, must be willing to accept the judgment of a group of disinterested nations. The moral strength of this League would be an enormous factor in ensuring such acceptance, and I believe that the membership of the United States would give to this new League a certain integrity of purpose that the present League seemingly lacks. The new League would have an economic power, in the form of sanc¬ tions, far surpassing that of the present League. In order to realize how the membership of the United States would add to the economic effective¬ ness of the new League, let us consider the part played by America during the League sanctions against Italy. However, it should be clearly under¬ stood that I am neither proposing the entrance of the United States into the present League, nor criticizing her failure to become a member; nor do I intend to imply the right or wrong of the cause of either of the belligerents. America, as we know, took no part in the sanctions against Italy. But, “experts have agreed that an embargo on oil exports, uni¬ versally applied, would have crippled Italy and stopped the war in from three to three and one-half months, if the United States could have been induced to restrict its shipments to the 1934 level. But if the United States failed to cooperate, Italy could maintain her supplies. She would merely have to make special exertions and pay higher prices.” Thus, it is clearly seen that the cooperation of all the nations would be necessary to give economic effectiveness to the new League. The failure of a nation such as the United States to enter this new League would render that body totally ineffective. The chief requisite of the new League as for military strength is that its armed force, made up of predetermined contributions from each of its members, should exceed the combined armed strength of the two most powerful nations of the world. As armaments were gradually de¬ creased in the individual nations, the armed strength of the new League could be reduced proportionately. I do not claim that this new League wo uld be the solution to the prob¬ lem of securing world peace. No one can definitely say what that is. I have but attempted to indicate what should be the course of the United States in facing this problem. We may hope for a solution only when we have started in the right direction. To make a start in the right direction is to realize that America cannot stay at home; that European realities must determine the nature of any plan to prevent war; and that the cooperation of all the nations is necessary for world peace. Habitrtorij A Free Press Shirley Bernice Goodman Ever since ea rliest man began to record his ex¬ periences on pieces of bone, there has been a public press. As years have passed, and civilization has developed, man has conceived more practical ways to record events; all that pertains to the mechanics of written communication has followed the univer¬ sal path of progress from primitive laboriousness to skill and dispatch. That which remains undi¬ minished, unchanged, which existed as complete within the first pictorial fragment as in the mighty organs of the modern age, is the power for good and evil over the minds of one’s fellow man. Only in scope and proportion has the one surpassed the other. It was not long ago that the entire English speaking world joined in celebrating the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of a distinguished and powerful journal, “The London Times”. Throughout its years of honorable existence, it has ever represented the British people, following precept with practice. Holding a constant ear to the official world, it has thundered out its protests and its acclaim. It has made the very existence of governments dependent upon it and brought to glorious fruition the seed John Milton sowed in the passionate years of the seventeenth century when dictatorship and tyranny held the land in shameful bondage. But overshadowing this bright picture of freedom answered by in¬ tegrity is the censored and strangled press of Italy, Germany, and Russia. Outside of Great Britain and America a free press is virtually unknown. We, who glory in the right of our papers to print the truth fearlessly, proud of that grant which our forefathers, provident for the future, gave first place of all in the Bill of Rights, look to the pitiful state of the Euro¬ pean press and the ruthless methods of European governments with min¬ gled feelings of commiseration and thanksgiving. The sight should create in us a fiercer resolve to crush the creeping dangers which threaten our own press. For they exist, and in growing numbers! A Bill of Rights can become an empty shell! Informed public opinion is the most potent restraint upon existing governments. “A free press stands as one of the great interpreters be¬ tween the government and the people. To allow it to be fettered is to fetter ourselves.” We must not awake, like Gulliver, to find ourselves pinned to the ground by seemingly insignificant, harmless dwarves. These dwarves are more powerful than we dream. They arise even in our govern¬ ment. Censorship is an ominous word, disguising itself in various languages. It lurks in the so-called channel system whereby representatives of the press meet the different departments of government only through special publicity managers who divulge only prepared and approved information. The news representative finds himself robbed of the privilege of personal interview with officials, the only effective means of establishing true under¬ standing between the government and the nation. To deprive the people of this press acquaintance with the men to whom they entrust the conduct of their affairs is to defeat the very purpose of a democracy. It lurks again within the halls of Congress itself, the main stronghold of our government. The efforts of the lobbyist lead to the introduction of bills ostensibly for the good of the nation, but in reality, but poorly disguised instruments to strangle the fundamental liberty of utterance upon which our existence as a free people depends. Under their thin coat¬ ing of patriotism, professing to combat communism and insulate the army and navy against subversive wiles, the true nature of the Kramer Sedi¬ tion Bill and the so-called “military disaffection” bill, shows itself plainly to the watchful eye. George Washington once said, “Beware the im¬ postures of patriotism!” How much more serious is the state of affairs, however, when even this flimsy veil is deemed unnecessary, and a recent governor, now dead, could, without excuse or apology, impose a tax on newspapers whose poli¬ tical opinions were not his own. Or when methods of violence and gang¬ dom could lead to the murder of a western editor who was responsible for the exposure of corruption in his state government! The dangers which threaten the press from without are great, but not greater than those which lie within its own ranks. The journalist of today has been called the leader and the moulder of civilization. His only obligation is that of fidelity to the public; his only duty that of fulfilling this obligation. To the responsibility thus laid at the door of the news¬ paper, high-minded American journalists have ever dedicated themselves. Their creed, reiterated at many press conventions, if universally upheld, could and would insure permanent freedom of the press. It seems a case of “Shoemaker, look to thy last.” When idealism is submerged in mater¬ ialism and private ownership of a paper is prompted by the desire to serve the public, then the newspapers are themselves endangering their own rights. When a quantitative rather than a qualitative test is put to subject matter, privacy is violated, and truth is sacrificed to avert a loss of advertising or distorted by bias and class consciousness, then the press has betrayed its trust. When politicians, business corporations, and even governments can hire the services of propagandist machines whose subtle methods make tools of our daily press, then editors become, not guardians of public mental health, but the very administrators of the poison. A journalism suitable for today’s world must be a journalism of humanity, a journalism stoutly independent, constructive, self-controlled, unswayed by the appeal of privilege or the clamor of the mob. It must know no enemy except that of the public. Only then can the American people enjoy that freedom of the press which Jelferson considered the very foundation of democracy. VALE Classmates: Tonight the door closes behind us. We shall face the world tomorrow with a new and more challenging assignment to be fulfilled than any we have hitherto known. Those cardinal virtues of obedience, respect, willing response to guidance which have inspired our school years will find them¬ selves deposed by others, sterner but nobler,—as responsibility, duty, and right. In all this, it is the glory of modern young womanhood that, capable and ready, she bears her equal burden with her brother. Together now, as young men and women, we are entering a world where bloodshed and strife again threaten nations. It is ours to keep ever before us the ideal of a country all of whose paths are peace. As much as lies in us, it is our duty to realize that ideal. Ours, too, is the task of preserving American democracy for our sons and daughters. To do this, we must remember that a free press and free speech are weapons far more effective than warfare. The dangers which menace must not prevail. With hearts and minds thus dedicated to the task before us, we take our leave of Malden High School. Classmates of 1936, farewell. (irattnn The Open Road Mary Eliza Turner On many of our modern highways are found intricate networks of underpasses and overpasses with rotary traffic, all leading finally to the broad straight highway. To the traveller who has a defi¬ nite route in mind, these bypasses are not confusing, for he realizes that they all lead to the highway which he seeks, and which will bring him to his desired destination. Tonight we, the young women of the Class of 1936, are facing the rotary traffic of life for the first time. There are many roads open to us, all of which lead to success, the goal of every conscientious person. Yet, this task of mak¬ ing a choice is most perplexing, for we are suddenly facing a problem with which we have had no experience. Added to the confusion of facing a new experience, we find that now there are many more opportunities for specialization than our mothers found when they were graduated from high school. Today there are the roads of science, of politics, of social service, and innumerable others; while yesterday, there were only nursing, teaching, and homemaking. The road of science alone is broad, A few years ago it was with the greatest reluctance that women were allowed to enter a scientific laboratory. There were no laboratories in girls’ colleges. A woman was unheard of. It was not until Madame Curie made her great discovery of radium that women began to be recognized in the field of scientific development. Today that screen which shut women out from whole¬ hearted participation in scientific discovery has fallen. Increasingly woman’s place is in the laboratory, as thousands of college girls bending over dissecting tables and microscopes from coast to coast bear witness. There are prominent women astronomers. Women are keeping all the records of the stars that are being made in the observatories connected with Harvard University. They are teaching in many leading medical schools which do not allow women students. One eminent scientist is working on the photographic image for the Eastman Kodak Company. It is the women in doctors’ offices, hospital laboratories, drug companies, and boards of health who make the crucial bacterial and chemical tests. The most renowned name among women in the field of research is that of her to whom Bryn Mawr has awarded the M. Carey Thomas prize for eminent achievement. Doctor Florence Sabin. Because of her research in blood diseases and tuberculosis, she has had the honor of becoming the first woman ever elected to the National Academy of Sciences. In the practical application of science, however, the name of Anne Morrow Lindbergh stands out above all the rest. Her remarkably work in handling the radio during her flight with her husband across Northern Canada and Alaska to the Orient was evidence of a keen, intelligent mind coping ably with an unfamiliar situation. In spite of the fact that she never understood electricity from the time “the professor rubbed the fur with sealing wax,” she mastered the Morse Code and the mechanism of the radio, kept the world in touch with their progress, and was a com¬ petent aid to her husband in opening what may in later years become an important route of travel between two continents. To the women vitally interested in present day governmental prob¬ lems, the road to politics is a splendid challenge. Until sixteen years ago, when the woman suffrage amendment was added to the Constitution, politics, too, was open only to men. In those sixteen years, however, women have competed successfully in almost every branch of this field. We see them elected to positions in our own city government:—the council, the school committee, the board of health. State governments, too, have women as members of their legislatures. The national government has not proved unconquerable. There are now two women senators and several representatives. During the present administration. Miss Frances Per¬ kins has been appointed a member of the President’s cabinet, a new dis¬ tinction for a woman. Prior to her appointment on the cabinet, she served as industrial commissioner of New York State. Hers is no easy job—that of keeping peaceful relations between capital and labor. Her success may be attributed to her application of her two favorite words—mutuality and cooperation. While Miss Perkins is a leading figure in our politics at home, Ruth Bryan Owen, in her position of United States minister to Denmark, is a fitting representative of American women in the realm of diplomacy. Although these roads we have already mentioned present shining illustrations of the capabilities of modern women, we likewise find a great number of outstanding figures in the highway of social service. This field was first opened by Florence Nightingale, who nursed the sick and offered mercy to the wounded during the Crimean War, and developed, a few years later, by Clara Barton of North Oxford, Massachusetts, who was known as the “Angel of the Battlefield” during the Civil War and who founded the American Red Cross. In more recent times, we have seen the work of Jane Addams in Hull House in the slums of Chicago. The accomplishments of Carrie Chapman Catt for world peace and the brilliant work of Mary Woolley, President of Mount Holyoke College, at the peace tables of Geneva established the recognition of women in an¬ other important field. Sara Wambaugh of Cambridge had the honor of being appointed a member of the committee to draw up laws for the Saar Plebiscite in 1930. Certainly we can consider the Girl Scout move¬ ment a department of social service, and the efforts of Mrs. Herbert Hoover and other women in this splendid organization have been an in¬ spiration to girls the world over. The achievements of women during the last sixteen years in science, politics, and social service awaken and inspire the all-conquering faith of young women of today—the faith that we can move the world, or in the words of David Starr Jordan, “The world will get out of the way for the man who knows where he is going.” Our further education should have one aim, that of becoming intelligent, understanding women. With that aim we will become a power in human affairs for, as Emerson said, “He who keeps one end in view makes all things serve.” The same spirit that inspired and led the eminent women of the last decade fills us with the hope that our broad highway will lead us to successful, purposeful, and useful living. OIlaHa Pnrm The Valiant Elizabeth Audrey Harlow Amid the roar and struggle of Today, A part of all the tumult, yet alone. Stands Youth Incarnate with uplifted face. The earthly symbol of all heavenly grace. The mystery of being fills his eyes. And dreaming there beneath the infinite skies He seeks the answer to his questionings. Strange voices whisper in his waiting ears: “Be strong!” says one. “The burden of the years Will soon weigh down your eager, hopeful feet; You soon may have no home, no bread to eat.” “Be happy!” says another. “Life is long— Fill it with gladness, merriment, and song; The sun will always shine upon your door Be ye the very poorest of the poor!” “Be wise!” says one. “The world with sin is old. Desire is empty, passion soon grows cold; Be wise, and peacefully live all your days. And yours will be all honor, love, and praise.” “Be gay, be gay!” says one. “What matters pride? Let dreary age be staid and dignified! Love is your heritage and love your guide!” And yet another—“Conquest waits for thee— Live to the utmost every victory. Glory in battle, set an empire free.

May that desire be true and free and fair; May those ideals for which we deeply care Be those we hold most lightly lest they die.

Ours is the valiant heart of youth, ours too The dreams, the deeds our fathers hoped to do; The will to make these dreams come true shall be The flaming sword we bear to victory! Ours is Tomorrow, ours to make and live— The highest gift the centuries can give!” OIlaHH lltHtnrg Louis Herbert Barnett The purpose of the history is not to relate every step in the progress of a people, from their humble beginnings as Sophomores, three years ago, to their arrival at the dizzy height they now occupy. On the contrary, in accordance with the modern ten¬ dencies in historical writing, the author aims to emphasize only those factors in our class develop¬ ment which appeal to us as most vital from the standpoint of today, and to explain prevailing con¬ ditions and institution by showing how they came about. We have not tabulated a series of historical occurrences under suc¬ cessive classroom administrations but have carefully selected the great bases in the development of the class and treated them in as coherent a manner as possible, consid ering the material with which we have to deal. It will be noted there has been no attempt on the part of the author to sentimentalize or smooth over any awkward spots in this history, but he has faithfully adhered to the truth, regardless of tradition or custom. The work is divided into three parts: Discovery, Exploration, and Settlement, with an afterword in which some strictly personal opinions are hazarded regarding the probably future of the class. DISCOVERY The discovery of the class of 1936 was an accident. Three years ago, early one morning on the 4th of September, 1933, the faculty of the Mal¬ den High School were strolling aimlessly through the corridors, as usual, chatting about the just-ended vacation and wondering whether there would be any startling changes in their work during the coming year. Suddenly they caught a glimpse of something new and strange. Just inside the fr ont door, huddled together in mute embarrassment and anx¬ iety (oh, yes, that would be the day), were the members of what became the class of 1936. To the casual eye, they seemed merely a group of ordinary boys and girls, well dressed, reasonably good-looking, and badly frightened. But to the trained eyes of these dauntless and experienced explorers, these strangers seemed distinct and widely separated individ¬ uals, each possessing aptitudes and talents, deficiencies and capabilities decidedly worth finding out. Gently attempting to dispel the fears of the strangers, the faculty bade them enter and spent the next few weeks attempting to gain their confidence and friendship. They succeeded, after great difficulty, in ac¬ complishing this. The discoverers of the class of 1936 will be celebrated in history for the gentleness and courtesy they ever displayed toward these strange beings they so curiously encountered on September 4, 1933. EXPLORATION The discovery having been reported to the ruler of the high school, Mr. Jenkins, who received the news of this remarkable acquisition to his territory with marked delight and a few misgivings, examined with interest the trophies presented by the strangers to their discoverers. Among these trophies were report cards bearing cabalistic signs supposed to denote the degree of mental alertness possessed by the owner and to show his possibilities as a future citizen of the country. Not a few of the cards showed signs that their possessors had barely managed to leave Junior High School. It is true there were in this school those who jeered at the new people and considered it folly to regard them as of value or worth annexing. However, the steadfast discoverers believing in what they had found, received the permission of the principal to explore carefully the natures and intellects—if any—of the strangers and, if possible, to make of them valuable additions to the country. Accordingly, each of the discoverers became an explorer. The strang¬ ers were divided into small groups and assigned to the care of the different explorers. They were given a name. Sophomores, and became a part of the life of the school. They were taught many new, strange customs and manners and were required to learn difficult lessons. At first they often wished they had never been found, but, before a year was over, they became thoroughly at home in their new surroundings. The most unpleasant thing about the Sophomore year was the con¬ tempt in which members of the Class w’ere held by those who had been residing in the school for a longer period than they. However, under¬ standing that this was a custom of the country, they ignored it. During the first month of this year, the Sophomores suffered much inconvenience because of their unfamiliarity with the new country and its traffic rules. They were forever taking the wrong turning, finding them¬ selves in the wrong corridor, and arriving at their classroom half an hour late. Because of this, they incurred heavy penalties, but by Thanksgiving they had become familiar with the topography of the school buildings and were often in the right place at the right time. Due to the fine cooperation, which was a characteristic of the class for their entire three years, there was no election of officers, during the sophomore class. However, nominations were held, so that an election could be held the following September. The Sophomores became interested in strange new exercises called track, baseball, and football, and attained a slight degree of prowess in each. The following boys were interested: Football; “Jimmie” Fitzgerald, “Pete” Cignetti, “Ed” Baum and “Charlie” O’Rourke. Baseball; George DiSanto and “Charlie” O’Rourke. Track; George DiSanto, Harlan Woods, Forest Gowell and Charles Crooker. They suffered much agony and despair during this period because of the social functions which they were required to attend in order to acquire poise and dignity. The male Sophomores in particular found the dances torture, but the females enjoyed them greatly. In time, however, these functions became festive occasions for all. Most information was gained by the exploring faculty in this first year regarding the members of the Sophomore class. Their intellects were found to vary in keenness from sponges to razors; but, on the whole, they turned out to be very satisfactory, and some were a source of great joy to their explorers. Already some of the Sophomores were showing signs of unusual ability in various fields, such as, athletics, music, art, and home economics. Came the summer and close of school. Happy vacations beckoned. With the coming of the next September, the members received a new name. Because of their skill in acquiring the customs of the school, they were renamed Juniors, and the process was called by a native name, “promotion.” And now a strange thing happened. Remembering the scorn with which they had been regarded the previous year, they now adopted the same attitude toward the incoming strangers who took their places as Sophomores. The routine of the classroom was now familiar and they found study¬ ing easier than before. The talents discovered the previous year were developing rapidly, and the exploring teachers found much to please them, but also much to astonish them. Rushing forward into the fastnesses of the Junior mind, they found strange things. The most bewildering thing to the explorers was the complete absence of what they had confidently expected to find. Instead of the intellectual gold mines, the purple plains of fancy that they had hoped to see, they found vast, arid spaces, totally uninhabited. However, realizing that such is the common lot of explorers, they pushed bravely on through the under¬ brush of ignorance, hoping, before the time alloted for their explorations was over, to realize what would compensate for all their time and effort: a genius. There were few casualties during the year. Several times, in chem¬ istry laboratories some enterprising student mixed the wrong ingredients and a minor explosion occurred, but, aside from scorched eyebrows, burned holes in clothing, and some awful smells, no damage was done. The stains as usual proved the most dangerous hazard to the lives and limbs of our precious students. The social functions of this period were delightful, the most im¬ portant ones were as follows: A Junior play in which Ruth Roberts, Edmund Strait, Joseph Devaney, “Kennie” Carter, Jeanie Boukis and Edith Boehm starred, and an illfated Junior prom, which due to lack of cooperation and “Jakie” Mould failed to materialize. The class organization of the Juniors was as follows: president, Thomas Q. Corrigan; vice president, Dorothy S. Dargie; treasurer, Ray¬ mond P. Taylor; secretary, Audrey Lowry. This was the most distin¬ guished body and reflected honor of the entire school. Then this extraordinary Junior group put a splendid football team on the field, and as a result the Seniors were defeated to a tune of 7-6. This also assured Coach McGuirk of a splendid team the following year. And now we come to the last and greatest year in the history of the class members. They automatically (as was their custom in most things, if you asked Mr. Batchelder) became Seniors in September. With the gaining of the title, they began to take themselves more seriously than ever before. And when I say, “seriously,” I mean “seriously”! As the year drew to a close they were positively dizzy with dignity, or without it. All this was looked upon with friendly amusement by the teacher- explorers, who regarded the result of their three years of hard labor with rightful pride. They had converted a band of ignorant, untamed aborigines into intelligent, courteous citizens of their great school, and had lost only the usual proportion in the process. Better yet, they had found that for which they had been searching so eagerly, a genius—in fact, several of them; and all of the class were passable, we hope. The organization of the Senior class was noteworthy, the following list of officers being in charge: “Ray” Taylor, president; “Dot” Dargie, vice-president; Irving Pass, treasurer; and Helen Porter, secretary; and an intelligent honorable executive board. The social events were of marked brilliance. Those most worthy of note were: Two football dances, held to commemorate various victories of our football team; a splendid operetta “The Mikado” which was a financial and artistic success; and finally, the classnight. What a success this is! Meanwhile the Tornado of ’35-36 went thru a most successful season. The McGuirk coached eleven tied for State honors with Waltham for the title. As a result, a splendid trophy adorned the shelf above our worthy Miss Holbrook’s cranium. (Hope it doesn’t fall on her head for it would be a shame to ruin such a splendid trophy). Football stars included, “Jimmie” Fitzgerald, “Pete” Cignetti, Charles O’Rourke, “Eddie” Baum, Charles Crooker, and “Al” Kenny. The track team also had a good season. Co-Captain Harlan Woods broke the interscholastic half mile record. Other outstanding performers were Charlie Crooker, “Eddie” Wartell, and For¬ rest Cowell. Baseball had a disasterous season, a few of the causes being “Pete” Cignetti, “Don” DeMarco, and George DiSanto, as well as Captain Charles O’Rourke.. Then during February of the year 1936, came the big event of the winter months, the winter outing. Although almost meeting defeat, due to lack of enthusiasm and support, the committee finally scraped up enough money to have the outing. ($25 being borrowed from the treas¬ ury). Up at Plymouth, N. H. where the slumbering train transported them, the seniors and their explorers enjoyed themselves to the height of fashion. Many, however, were the accidents and bruises. The most serious occurred when “Gil” Newman, class midget, attempted to go thru a tree with a toboggan. “Gil” learned a few principles of physics that time. Great fun was had on the train coming back to the native land. Among other interests which claimed members of the class of ’36, was the “Blue and Gold”. Robert Osgood was for a year. Editor-in-chief, Shirley Goodman and Mary Eliza Turner were his associates. Charles Crooker and Louis upheld the sporting end of the publication, while Maurice Baer wrote some snappy exchanges. On the whole, the Blue and Gold had much to be thankful for to the members of ’36. Numberous members of the class of ’36 held responsible positions in the various school clubs and organizations. Irving Pass headed Cog; Kenneth Carter, Lit; Myer Sharpe, English Club; David Cohen, Latin Honor Society; Elizabeth Worthen, Usona; Jessie Fandetti, Cam; and Esther Berman, Greenroom; and various members of the class had leading positions in all the other organizations. Late in March a year book staff was chosen, with Irving “Salutator- ian” Pass as Editor-in-chief. “Eddie” Martin, as usual, fitted into the role of Business Manager. What a man with the money! Mary Eliza Turner was chosen as managing editor. A book was in the making (and still is). Then towards the end of the year the traditional National Honor Society was chosen. Congratulations were in order for the fine represen¬ tation of the Literary Society in this esteemed organization. No less than eight of eleven boys chosen belonged to Lit. (What is it, their gift of gab?) The following members were chosen: Earle Benson, Esther Berman, Doris Brittain, Thomas Corrigan. Charles Crooker, Dorothy Dargie, Arthur Dowd, Theodore Edwards, Jessie Fandetti, Caroline Foxall, Shirley Good¬ man, Howard Lowe, Robert Osgood, Edward Martin, Robert Newton, Helen Porter, Ruth Roberts, Philip Shapleigh, Raymond Smardon, Ray¬ mond Taylor, Mary Eliza Turner, and Elizabeth Worthen. SETTLEMENT This next period, settlement, is not so easy to describe. In these rapid and disturbing times, nothing remains settled for long, but it ap¬ pears that some Seniors were urged to stay in this country to which they had come three years previously to be discovered, but it is hoped they will be able to leave it next year. They have all chosen their vocations. Each is destined to become famous and honored throughout the land. Among them are the lawyers, doctors, artists, musicians, great busi¬ ness minds, philanthropists, and W.P.A. men, E.R.A, men, etc., and what- have-you’s of the coming years. We hope that among their numbers are also those who are destined to become discoverers and explorers of young and eager minds, which await training for citizenship and life in our great country. APPENDIX I It has been suggested by our best friends and severest critics that the form of this history is ambiguous, if not misleading. They say it should have been written the way it really happened; the pupils discovered the school, explored its vast resources, and settled there for three years of hard work, and fun, after which they moved on to greater things. But we say it is our history and we wrote it to suit ourselves. APPENDIX H It may be that we have erred on the side of restraint in writing this history. So we take the opportunity to say now that in our far from humble opinion the class known to history and will always be remembered by the faculty of the Malden High School and the people of the town as “that wonderful class of 1936”. V OIlaHB Hill Robert Albro Newton My friends, I have called you to assemble here as a solemn duty, that you, the heirs and assignees of my respected client, the class of 1936, may hear her last will and testament, which, as her legal ad¬ viser, I drew, as directed by her, immediately prior to her passing from our presence. It was her intention and would have been her great pleasure to present you personally with these tokens of her esteem, but, finding her possessions were even more extensive and valuable than she had thought, it was im¬ possible; particularly as her last days were so occupied with social en¬ gagements and other dates not so social, but of great importance to the future, which she was obliged to keep with various members of the faculty. Because of this, if any slight discrepancies or apparent injustice or partiality should appear to you in the distribution of her effects, we trust you will pardon them and realize it is caused only by exhaustion of her brain, never over-robust. May I, as well as my lamented client, entreat that you receive your respective legacies in the spirit of unselfish friendship with which they were given? I shall appreciate your courteous attention while I read this duly attested will. (Reads.) We, the class of 1936, in the town of Malden, the county of Middlesex, the state of Massachusetts, and the country of the United States of America, being in as good mental condition as usual, and in much better temper than usual, do hereby make this, our last will and testament, rendering void and of no avail any former will or wills that may have been previously made by us during a period of temporary optimism. Although, being as psychologically complex as befits a senior class, we consist of over 400 separate and distinct entities, or what have you, we are in such complete accord, thinking alike, although seldom, that the editorial—now, alas, funeral—“we” will be used to denote our collective entity throughout this document. We have no specific directions to leave concerning our funeral, but we do hope you will come prepared to praise as well as bury us, forgetting the trifling faults that may have been ours and remembering only our manifold and remarkable virtues. We feel that our brilliant record and our unusual achievements will live after us, but, not wishing to take any chances, we suggest that a tablet, on which shall be inscribed our several names and a few of our most astounding deeds, be purchased and placed in the auditorium of our school in a position where it will strike the eye of all who enter, for ’tis certain this, our auditorium, will yet endure for many a year, or more likely, decade. Item .—We give and bequeath, freely and without reservations or stipulations, to the junior class, our rightful heirs, and to their heirs and assignees forever, our most important and valuable properties, viz., our self-satisfaction, our importance, and our wisdom, all of which we possess in enormous quantities, and we hope said gifts will be of use in overcoming their present inertia. Item .—We also leave the junior class our good luck. It made us what we are today, and it should satisfy them. In addition to this, all our privil¬ eges and rights, as seniors in classrooms and corridors, such as they are, will revert to them, as well as any notebooks, pencils, fountain pens, un¬ finished lollypops, or unfinished business, including debts contracted while engaged in the business of being a senior, also any boys or girls whom we may have left behind in our haste. Item .—We give and bequeath to the junior class our well-known nerve, which they will need next year, and all the examination questions we have been given during the past year. We believe that an examination, like history, often repeats itself. The answers, never owned in entirety, have long since been mislaid by us and are not included in this legacy. Item .—To our good friends, the sophomore class, we leave our patience. It will be found useful as the only means by which they can endure the juniors. It will be noticed that, although we have left many and valuable be¬ quests to the junior class, soon to be seniors, we have made but small mention of the present sophomore class which will be known as the junior class in a few months. We have left them practically nothing, because by that time their self-valuation will have attained such heights that nothing in our possession would be regarded by them as worthy their distinction. Item .—To our dear old school building itself, we leave the peaceful quiet caused by our absence, and any extranious pieces of dignity or stale jokes which have been blown into miscellaneous corners by the wind we have made passing through the last three years in such haste. Item .—To our headmaster we give and bequeath a sense of relief that we have at last been graduated, pleasant memories of our three years together, and a feeling of pride in any great deeds or noteworthy achieve¬ ments that our future may contain, realizing that such glories—if any— will owe much to his example and counsel-ahem—ahem!! Item .—To our teachers, the faculty of the Malden High School, we hereby give, free from all inheritance, luxury, or income tax, our entire store of knowledge. From them it came and to them it shall be returned, that others may be benefited by it as we have been. Along with this knowledge is bequeathed most additional information obtained by original research and contemplation. We feel that it will prove sufficiently start¬ ling to merit consideration and might even, with profit, be incorporated in the next course of study. We lack space for details, but shall simply state that our arguments against no shirt sleeves, as well as those for bigger and better holidays, louder and funnier lectures, and no higher mathematics, not to mention our shortened list of requirements for grad¬ uation, are of vital importance and should be familiar to every earnest student of education. Item. —To our teachers we bequeath our valuable sense of humor, without which we should have found our school life painful indeed and which will do much to make it endurable for them. Item. —We also give and bequeath to the teachers our very kindest regards and our sincere gratitude for their unfailing kindness and aid. The smaller individual bequests are as follows: Item. —To the next year’s glee club and the orchestra, our ability as members of said organizations to watch the leader and the audience at the same time. We may have lost a measure or skipped a beat in the music occasionally, but we have never missed anything—or anybody—in the audience. Item —To the dramatic club, our varied and surprising talent—a talent that could interpret a character with so much originality that its own author wouldn’t know it. Item. —To the undergraduate needing it most, we give Mr. Cargill’s supply of wit, which will enable the recipient to talk more and say less than any other human being,—in the meantime, amusing our “deah” teachers. Also, to the undergraduate who is most in danger of not passing next year, we bequeath Mr. Pass’s store of information, which will make it easy for him to pass any test, on any subject, at any time. Item .—To the junior class we give, reluctantly but of necessity, our mantle of dignity. We realize that the class can never fill it but, since it is expected of them, our advice is, “Grin and wear it.” Item .—To Mr. Jenkins for the office, we leave a huge store of var¬ iegated neckties for those unfortunate individuals marked out by an eagle eye peering through the glass in the classroom doors. Item. —To one Mr. Henry E. Batchelder, sometimes known as—er— a—I don’t like to say it in front of this large gathering, but it’s here, and exact reading is obligatory—known as—er—er—a—“Batch” we leave a vast, thousand-acre fruit orchard for said personage and son to figure out how to spray. Besides these bequests, we leave our best wishes to any and all who may desire them. Finally, we do hereby name and appoint as the sole executor of this, our last will and testament, our class adviser. Miss MacLaughlin. In witness whereof we, the class of 1936, the testator, have set our hand and heal on this 5th day of June in the year of one thousand, nine hundred and thirty-six. Anno Domini. Girls’—Jacob M. Mould Boys’—Ruth Evelyn Roberts Dorothy Dargie has become a reporter because of her intense interest in everybody’s business and her cast iron nerve which has enabled her to pene¬ trate where she is not wanted. She is known as Polly Phy of the “Graphic News.” Because of her alertness she can interview a criminal while he is committing a crime, and gets tomorrow’s news last week. Mary Eliza Turner has become a school teacher because of her ability to answer all questions, sometimes correctly, and her snappy, forceful manner in which she orders people around. She is about fifty years old, perhaps a trifle wrinkled, but still young at heart. Oh yes, she can be found at dear old Malden High School bossing not only her pupils, but everybody on her floor. She seems to be carrying on the work where Miss Pearl left off. Helen Porter is a wealthy cosmetician, proprietor of Ye Olde Beaiiti- fier Shoppe—alterations while you wait—an up to date shop, combining the arts of beauty culture and plastic surgery. Men and women alike enter her shop looking like sixty and emerge looking like sixteen. She has become the most famous skin renovator and face lifter and is an excellent advertisement for her own business. Grace Brown is appearing at your favorite motion picture cathedral where she is featured as “America’s girl friend, in ‘Cinderella’s Scandals’ the all-talking, all-singing, all-dancing epic of the age.” Grace sings, talks, dances, and plays three different musical instruments, including a vacuum cleaner. Don’t fail to see her! Ruth Roberts is still winning prizes. She has just won a first prize in an international bread baking contest. She is the happy wife of a prominent business man and serves him the best meals in town. (Quick, Henry, the bicarbonate of soda.) She has grown quite plump as a result of her own cooking. Betty Worthen can be heard daily, broadcasting from Station OGPU, telling how to build a porch out of packing boxes and how to feed ten people seven days a week on twenty-three cents apiece. Her recipes can be obtained, if you care to run the risk, by sending a self addressed envelope, twenty cents in stamps and seventy-three cents in coin to the Household Hinter, care of your local station. There is no doubt but that Ruth Roberts got her prize winning recipe from Betty. Come to think of it, Betty sponsored and judged that contest. Jessie Fandetti, who during her school year, had great vocal aspira¬ tions, has learned to turn her tone images into audible sounds and is now a leading prima donna in the Cosmopolitan Opera Company of Chelsea. She is singing title roles in all operas and does not recognize her friends when she meets them. Shirley Goodman is operating a “Home for Old, Broken-Down Teach¬ ers of Latin, Mathematics, and English,” to whom, she claims, “I at¬ tribute my success as an intellect.” However, life is no bowl of cherries for the inmates of her asylum, whom she works like slaves. “Revenge is sweet,” she says. Anne Greek has been hired to teach the Dionne Quints Algebra and French. She seems to be quite puzzled because she has been attempting for seven months to get them to solve a simultaneous equation in French and to say “Hello” and “Goodbye” in Algebra, without any success. She can’t understand it at all, and I don’t blame her. After all, she only spent three years at Malden High School. Carolyn Foxall has organized a “Woman for President League.” At the first convention of this new dark horse party, she was nominated on the first, second, third, fourth, and fifth ballot. (Why not, she nominated herself?) She is running on a platform of soap boxes. Her campaign issue is “Shorter Hours and Less Home-Work for the Pupils.” Too bad that the high school students are not old enough to vote. Doris Britain is conducting the “American Secretarial Correspondence School.” She guarantees to teach you in thirty-three lessons through the mail, the art of typing, filing, and taking dictation. With each course she sends free an illustrated catalogue of “How I Learned the Art of Secretarialship Under Difficult Conditions at Malden High School.” Esther Berman, popular young maestroette, known as Gloria Glory, and her “Whoopee Girls” are sweeping the country with their Female Interpretations of “Hold That Tiger.” They play it as “Hold That Boy¬ friend.” They have just been booked for an indefinite engagement at the well-known dance spot in Malden known as the “Black Hole of Cal¬ cutta.” In our day, it was called the “Gym.” Sylvia Pearlswig is conducting a Dramatic Class at Sing Sing. Among her proteges are Monk Tripella, The One and Only Kelly, Two-Gun Cohen, Butch Van Whiffle. These potential stage stars present weekly for their fellow house-guests such performances as “Aunt Becky’s Sewing Club,” “Lucy’s Beau,” “Oh, Fudge.” This last play ran for just ten minutes on Broadway, and the cast is still running. Raymond Smardon and Theodore Edv ards Ray was the fellow who always felt the edge of a remark rather than the point. He and Teddy Edwards delved into higher mathematics. They became associated with Professor Einstein and dis¬ appeared into the fourth dimension. Jack Mould Jack became a professional esthetic dancing teacher. Every morning promptly at five-thirty, he led his troupe of would be graceful ones, to the velvety green lawn of Malden High School. His methods had a “Back-to-nature” tendency, but not too far back, of course. However, he soon gave up this profession for chess which was more to his liking. Charlie Crooker and Arthur Dowd These two fellows spent the best part of their lives rushing back and forth between Revere Beach and Coney Island searching for the big¬ gest balloon possible, in which they hoped to break Professor Piccard’s record. Robert Osgood Bob was the envy of most of his classmates because of the A’s he received from a certain teacher in 121. After obtaining a degree at a well-known university, he returned to the portals of M. H. S. once more, where he worked for several years in collaborating with Mary Turner, in the effort to impart knowledge to the young ’uns of the class of ’36. Edward Wright Martin Eddie was a rare type of great interest. He had a double complex. As a result, his reactions ranged from blackest despair to sitting on top of the world. He started a thing in one mood and finished it in another. The result was always confusing and sometimes deplorable. His voca¬ tion was, of necessity, one not bound by rule or reason, a sort of combi¬ nation steeplejack and deep-sea diver, as it were. He had to do something in which stability, good judgment, open-mindedness, and lack of prejudice were unessential. He took turns being a baseball umpire or a referee of prize fights. Thomas Corrigan Tommie was a modern type. He was persevering, not easily dis¬ couraged, and never gave up. He found it hard to fit into the life of today, but one great opening awaited him. In this great age of endurance con¬ tests, he became the champion of champions by simply making up his mind what he wanted to do and doing it. In 1946 he became America’s champion pole sitter, non-stop aviator, radio listener, marathon dancer, bicycle rider, pretzel eater, and mammy singer. He was the world’s un¬ disputed channel swimmer as, once dropped in, he swam back and forth until his manager remembered to come and fish him out. Montgomery Winship Monty was a splendid example of perfect self-control. He never stuttered or stammered, never hesitated for a word, had no complexes and no bad habits of any kind, and didn’t mind how late hours he kept or with whom he kept them. His vocation was determined at once. He could talk very rapidly. His enunciation was so perfect that he seemed to take the syllables out of words, dust them off, and put them back again. And his pronunciation! He can say “Tschaikowsky,” “Uuance,” the names of the Russian Choir, “adieu,” and “Saint Saens,” without mis¬ laying a consonant or misplacing a vowel. Five years after graduating from M.H.S., he was awarded a gold medal by the world’s most redoubt¬ able radio announcer. Robert Newton and Howard Lowe Bob and Howard were fond of light music (the kind you type with one finger) even in high school. Since infancy they were both able to rhyme words with ease, and consequently wished to collaborate in the art of writing poetry, but only found difficulty in securing subjects about which to write. Poor things, if they only knew it, they had no knowledge of music, and never could have been poets. But, nevertheless most as¬ tonishing to all who knew them, 15 years after graduating from high school, they became successful song writers. Irving Berlin and Duke Ellington were their only rivals. They received royalties by the barrel from such songs as “Room 121 Blues,” and “Is It True What They Say About Batch.” Irving Pass Irving proved an interesting case. An overdeveloped imagination and an underdeveloped digestion, produced a wonderful result—the ability to concoct the weirdest tales at practically a moment’s notice. In fact, this ability was so remarkable that his conversation consisted almost en¬ tirely of weird tales. Those who knew him well, never believed him, and strangers, seldom. He often wrote in his leisure hours eloquent speeches for politicians, this being a task in which he could employ all his imagi¬ native power without the inconsistencies ever being detected. Numbering among those who were assisted by him in brilliant political careers were Phil Shapleigh and Earle Benson. Raymond Taylor Ray had an athletic body and a lethargic mind—a patient type. He liked to sit and watch things. His calm disposition, combined with his inbrained inertness, made him the ideal type for a sports promoter. He was deeply interested in athletics, but played for pinochle. He could not be manager of a ball team or a boxer as that would require too much, moving about. However, he did keep a racing stable. He had a race track built up the side of a house, he kept a stable of racing snails, lay back on the hammock and gazed at the co ol gray stone of the track, as his faith¬ ful snails crawled on and up to victory. Lawrence Dargie and Richard Tolstrup Lawrence and Dick were enterprising young men. They built a new empire state building, only just to be different, they had theirs situated in the middle of New York Harbor. They are still wondering why no one ever rented an office in their building. Kenneth Carter Kennie, as we all expected, pursued an artistic career. He dabbled in art, the legitimate stage and the movies. He also tried musical com¬ edy but was not much of a success in that particular line.. He spent too much time wondering “What’s the Name of That Song?” Louis Barnett Louis is now Senator Phooey Q. Barnett from Pennsyltucky. He has just introduced a bill to Congress calling for a pension to all high school students who successfully pass their three year course in no more than five years. “Who is this guy Townsend?” he asked when interviewed by Polly Pry. William Hartman Bill, one of our quietest lads, has suddenly become a vociferous in¬ dividual. He rushes about from street corner to .street corner, his bushy black hair waving in the air, preaching the gospel of Marx. He says, “Why should pupils be judged by marks. A mark is a letter, yet it makes or breaks a student. Is there any justice in this world?” Walter Irving Walter, Malden’s new mayor, laid the cornerstone of the new Malden High School, which was built by appropriations gained through his un¬ tiring efforts. The new school has a de luxe ventilating system, large swimming pool, leak proof ceiling, elevators instead of stairs, and a ma¬ chine gun for each student. The purpose of the last item is to save the student from prolonged agony imposed upon him by any teacher. OIlaHH Ntgljt (irattnti Kenneth Bradford Carter Classmates:— I am speaking to you tonight from far away, from a distance of which you have absolutely no conception, from none other than the ethereal and magnificent realms of our Happy Hunting ground. Heaven. In fact, as this year, 1936, has brought with it the departure of you people from Malden High and has sent you out upon unchartered lands, I have appointed myself your special agent and representative here. If you should ever have occasion to drop up to Heaven, I can assure you a royal welcome. But for those of you who are slightly dubious—hazy, as to the work¬ ings and routine of Heaven I shall explain. Fortunately for me, I play a mean game of horseshoes. St. Pete, here, is an avid enthusiast himself and so we have a lot in common. Well, anyway, he took a fancy to me and immediately upon my arrival gave me a wonderful position as Chief Clerk and Keeper of the Records, good fellow that he is. My task is an arduous one; it requires a lot of patience and clarity of thought. In my office I have on files the names of all you people and your record while on earth. These records are furnished by a Divine Messenger under the authority of Gabriel. Upon receiving this information, I transcribe it onto your respective little pink cards and these are filed away. However, they must be kept in letter perfect order because if my superior should happen to ’pho ne my office and ask me to step over to his house with the records they must be complete because— I have scores of angels, many of them sweet young things, who do all the more technical clerical work. One of these, a pretty child of hardly four hundred years, has been the apple of my eye since I came here and I—well, we won’t go into that either. These angels are on a good salary and short hours. A week ago or so, though. Saint Luke and Saint Joe bent halos together and tried to institute a plan whereby angels would work thirty hours a day and receive half pay on the grounds that living expenses up here are moderately low. Why you can get one of the best gold plated halos here for a very few dollars. Of course, probably not one that you’d wear to one of the many elaborate parties around her e, but good enough to knock around in. Now the point I am trying to get at is this— You’re all destined to come up here, sooner or later, and won’t all arrive at the same time. Some of you may cut it short down there and come up with one of next year’s shipments and other’s may come up with the Townsend Plan. But it all boils down to the fact that when you come up, I shall be with Pete, here, to greet you. You won’t all of you arrive with perfectly clean records, so if I can juggle the books a little so that Pete won’t bar you, Pd be glad to do it. However, it is inevitable that one or two of you will be very red behind the ears when your pass¬ port is looked over; so I think that on that account, as long as I am your friend and special agent, it would be wise if I sort of took Pete out to lunch as I see your shipment coming. Then, you know, you’d be pretty sure of Heaven. Now, in closing I should like to further acquaint you with what our Heaven really is and the customs we practice. Upon first entering you are given a thorough physical exam. After passing this, you are sent to the Divine Shower Bath where all the Earth, that is the dirt from the Earth, is washed from you. Well by this time you’re pretty clean and perfect. As soon as Pete gets his instructions, you are taken down to Saint Isaac Goldstein, the tailor, to be fitted for wings, halo, and night gown. Then you are at liberty for a period of three days to walk around Heaven and sort of get your bearings. It is rather difficult at first, what with tripping over clouds and stepping on stars, but it does not take long and you are much the better for it afterwards. Well, you have now completed the preliminaries and are then ready to go into the final round—the round which will make you a full hedged, unadulterated angel of the first water—you are ready for the halo-nation. That corresponds, somewhat, to the Englishman’s coronation only the methods of procedure up here are somewhat different. It follows, somewhat, in this order— All the prospective angels are lined up on the main street or public market place to await the arrival of St. Peter. You see, friends, the Lord is so busy with other affairs, such as his treasury, his diplomatic relations with the other realms, etc., that he intrusts a good deal of his business to Pete. When I speak of relations with other realms I suppose I should not disillusion you as to the extent of these intercourses, par¬ ticularly that with Hell. We don’t have much to do with that delightful winter resort other than our sending our pies and cakes down there to be baked. Satan, himself, is a hard old Devil and we don’t like to impose upon him more than we have to. One good thing about his place is that he has a completely modern forge and iron works. The more unfortunate ones coming from Earth are put to work in his factory. But come now, I am wandering from the subject. When our new arrivals are all lined up, Gabey, here blows his horn, and St. Pete arrives amid triumphal trumpet blasts. I often times wish Gabriel would use a flute or a piccolo just for the sake of a change but just try and get him to see it your way. The process of halo-nating these individuals is itself comparatively simple. Peter is followed by four delightful pink-winged creatures who bear a basket simply overflowing with brand new halos. Now instead of walking up to each one in line, he merely picks a halo from the basket and with a skill acquired from his horseshoe throwing he hardly ever misses a shot. Inside of ten minutes each and every one has had a halo slung around his dome and begins to flutter excitedly around, dear sweet ones that they are, and exclaiming “Oh Joy!” or “Oh Bliss!”—very happy, as you may well imagine. I feel now, my friends, that I have given you a moderately complete description of our little stamping ground and what goes on within our gates. Don’t be afraid to drop up, now, because we’d be delighted to have you; that is, if you can skin by Old Peter there. Particular Penguins When Admiral Byrd landed on the pack ice at Antarctica, he was greeted by numerous penguins. Naturally there must have been some he noticed more than others. So in our senior class, we have some “par¬ ticular penguins”. As most beautiful girl, Helen Porter leads all the rest by a great majority. Bruce Van Fleet was chosen the handsomest boy with Kenneth Mooers and Kenneth Carter close seconds. The best dancers in the class are Richard Minasian and Frances Noseworthy. Our class adviser. Miss MacLaughlin, was voted the most popular woman teacher, while Mr. Matthews led the men. The most popular course was the general. There were not enough scientists to make the scientiflc course any¬ thing but the least popular. Those seniors best fitted for life were Mary Eliza Turner and Irving Pass. There were three girl athletes very prominent. Margaret Henry led Marion Schultz and Dorothy Botto. There was no question but that Peter Cignetti was the best boy athlete. For the best combination of brains and beauty as well as for the girl with the biggest drag with the teachers, the seniors chose Mary Eliza Turner. Kenneth Carter was chosen “teacher’s pet” among the boys. Our valedictorian, Shirley Goodman, and our salutatorian, Irving Pass, were chosen most intelligent girl and boy, respectively. Elaine McIntyre is the class flapper. The class heartbreaker, ah, me, (the break) is Marion Russell. The class’s Clark Gable is Kenneth Carter. Sylvia Pearlswig was chosen by far the best dressed girl. The two most popular seniors are Dorothy Dargie and Raymond Taylor. Jessie Fandetti certainly deserves to have been voted the girl who has done the most for the school. Ye editor-in-chief, Irving Pass, is the boy who has done the most for the school. Kenneth Mooers is by far the best at blufling the teachers. Mr. Wiggin was voted the easiest teacher with Mr. Hall not far behind. Laura Chamberlain is the most versed in walking the corridors with her nose in the air. On the stage Ruth Roberts and Kenneth Carter have excelled. There seems to be a variation of opinion concerning the class’s wit and clown. Paul Fisher is the clown with Thomas Cargill not far behind, while Cargill is the wit, with Fisher not far behind. Everyone has noticed that Betty Worthen with her grand smile is the most cheerful senior. Who hasn’t noticed Gerald Collins, the class stooge and Nuisance, snooping around the halls? Practically everyone had the same opinion, that Harlan Woods and Ruth Stromme were the most marriageable seniors. According to popular opinion. Miss Pearl is the hardest teacher. Philip Golden is all ready for college since he is the most collegiate. All the class should listen to Fred Waring since sleeping and dancing are the favorite pastimes. Football, sports, and class dances are the most popular school activ¬ ities. Paul Fisher has charged his way through to the distinction of being the noisiest senior. The quietest senior, although he is well up in his studies, is George Perry. Kenneth Mooers and Grace Brown have been handing us the best lines. Harold Miller is the most bashful senior with Leonard Bradley not so very bold. (ibituarg (Spirit of 36) Sylvia Pearlswig Died, on May 38, 1936, in the third year of its age, the senior class of the Malden High School, from a rush of information to the head. The fun¬ eral services were held in the auditorium on May 40. The death of this brilliant class, although not sudden, is still a shock to the entire community, particularly to the faculty of the high school, who had thought it might linger on for yet another year. However, the accumulation of facts and fancies, in¬ formation and ideals was too great for the immature mind of the senior class, and it gave up the struggle gracefully, as it did all things, im¬ mediately after the examinations. The public record of this class has been extraordinary in many ways and will long be remembered. Among its best known achievements are 1. Glamorous Senior Prom at the Ritz-Carleton! 2. Well-attended Senior Winter Carnival! 3. Outstanding Class Party! The loss of this class will be deeply felt in the community, and it will be difficult to assemble another with so much power of accomplishment. The senior class is survived by a junior class, and a sophomore class. The first mentioned will be appointed to the place left vacant by the untimely decease of the senior class, but can in no measure fill the position, nor will it be expected to do so at first. A great class has gone from us, and together we mourn its passing, consoling ourselves with this thought: Quern di diligunt adolescens mori- tur, which means, “He whom the gods love dies while a youth.” (Uma lEgitagty Elizabeth Worthen Here lie the good Seniors whose genius was such We scarcely can blame it or praise it too much; Who, born for distinction, perfected their mind And fraught with all learning, gave joy to mankind. They were equal to all things, for nothing unfit. They were pleased with their culture and proud of their wit. They are missed by their classmates, their teachers as well. Who their virtues and wisdom now tearfully tell. They died of brain fever, brought on by delight. In their third year of age on a bright June night. They are glad to be gone to a new world, alack! If we could when we pleased, we’d not whistle them back. But let us be candid and speak out our mind Their equal as students ’twill be hard to find. And in peace may they lie, our good Seniors, who now Have taken exams, and made their last bow. Ghost Ship The sun blazed down on a small rowboat whose only occupants were two strangely contrasted men, the sole survivors of the wreck of the pirate craft, “The Red Dagger.” The sea was a thick, slimy green, still as death. The man sitting in the bow of the boat was a squat, thick-set individ¬ ual, clad only in a pair of dirty trousers. Although his thickly muscled body was prominent, it was his face, or the thing that had been a face, that held one’s eye. It was a mass of scarred flesh, with a jagged gash for a mouth, and was topped by a pair of piggish animal eyes, now blood¬ shot from thirst. His companion in the stern was a passive Oriental of mixed breed, but mostly of Malay descent. His oily body was clad only in a loin cloth, from which the handle of a short wicked knife was protruding. Sleek, well developed muscles lay hidden beneath the yellow skin, slashed here and there, evidence of many fights. The thick-set man, straining his eyes, said with excitement, “Maloi, a ship!” The Oriental nodded, wasting no effort, and waited with the patience of his race. The short man, Torto, stood up trying to attract attention. Sharp fins cut the water, attracted by the moving boat. To rto sat down quickly, looking with fear at the gaping mouths and rows of pointed teeth. After a few hours of hard paddling with improvised oars, made from the seats of the boat, the little boat pulled up alongside the vessel. It was gray, covered with seaweed and barnacles, a ship risen from the bottom by the same typhoon that had wrecked “The Red Dagger,” a grim jest of Neptune’s wrath. Maloi caught hold of a loose chain hanging over the side, and swung swiftly up with the grace of a trapeze artist. Torto followed, but as he started up the chain, he lost his grip and dropped with a thud into the bottom of the boat which cracked ominously, while slowly the seawater seeped in. After Torto had secured a firm hold on the chain and was pulling his heavy body up hand over hand, Maloi, his smooth muscles standing out like steel thongs, helped him over the side. Torto grunted his thanks, and the queer pair gazed over the rotted boards. Little sea creatures scuttled across the deck. Bulbous sickening creatures plopped on the deck from the spars of the deserted hulk with sickening squishes. Torto walked across the deck, kicking aside crabs and rotting seaweed. He jerked back in terror as a long black shape .darted out and squirmed across through a pile of debris. A dull gleam of white shone through this mound. Maloi pulled off a loose board and poked at the curiously formed heap. A gleaming white object rolled out on the deck, a skull. Maloi looked closer and stirred over a heap of bones, rusted chains, and shackles, evidence of the slave trade. After wandering- through the ship, nearly breaking through the mouldy wood many times, Torto stumbled over a huge box sunk into the floor. Knocking off the ancient lock with his huge fist, with trembling fingers he pulled back the massive cover. A blazing light shone from the chest—dazzling jewels, diamonds, emeralds, pearls, dull gold and silver pieces, and other costly trinkets. Overcome by the sight of so much wealth, he plunged his heavy arms deep into the treasure, sprinkling it over his hands, his face and head. Suddenly he remembered Maloi. Clos¬ ing the lid, he lifted the ponderous box and stumbled with it to a corner. Covering it up with seaweed, he quickly went back to Maloi, who was busily scooping out various disgusting creatures from their shells with his keen knife, and eating them with all the finesse of a connoisseur. His opal eyes glanced over Torto noncommittantly. Not a muscle in his body revealed that he had caught sight of a dazzling diamond in Torto’s hair. Driven on by murder-lust and greed, Torto walked slowly around be¬ hind Maloi. Coming closer, he suddenly reached down and clamped a hairy arm around Maloi’s neck while he tried to wrest the knife from the Malay’s hand. Fighting quietly, Maloi exerted every ounce of his strength, trying to shove his knive into Torto’s chest, at the same time raking his fingernails through his opponent’s unprotected body. Unlike Maloi, Torto grunted and fumed, his huge arms crushing the now helpless Maloi. Suddenly Maloi’s neck snapped, and Torto lifted the broken body high in the air, and hurled it from him. Crashing against a broken mast, the lifeless body of Maloi sprawled into a ludicrous position, his bland face grinning idiotically at Torto. Triumphantly, Torto lurched to the rail and gasped for air. A ship! Quickly dragging forth his treasure, Torto lowered it into the rapidly filling boat and started down the weakened chain. Suddenly it snapped and Torto fell into the rowboat. The terror-stricken man screamed twice in mortal agony before the hungry man-eating sharks silenced his screams forever, while down on the ocean floor the sparkling treasure attracted curious fish. Silently the ghost ship sailed away into the oncoming night, while in the deep, old “Davy Jones” cackled with fiendish delight as he clanged his locker tight. Leslie Van Buskirk. SENIORS, QUO VADIS? , The senior’s future is a complicated maze; his aim, the goal, success. Its series of entangled paths are covered with thorns for some, and are strewn with roses for others. However, the travelers on either path strive for one ultimate goal, success. Theseus, by the aid of Ariadne’s thread, plotted his way through the labyrinth to Minotaur, his aim. So will some seniors reach their goal through use of a native endowment or through an unearned mundane value. Others will achieve success by overcoming all obstacles on the journey through a faint inherent thread, determination and courage. Then there will be those benighted souls who will lose their ideal in the intricacies of the maze, and those who will arrive at the threshold of success only to be devoured by Minotaur. Thus will the seniors be scattered over the labyrinth of the future. Their goals, however will be representative of their interpretation of success. Those who will have been assisted by the monetary thread will reach the goal of material self-satisfaction; those who will have succeeded through the thread of intellectual ability will arrive at the goal of uni¬ versal recognition, both will become idols in the eyes of society. Those bold ones who will have conquered will reach the goal of comfortable need. But, what of those others who will have never realized the value of such a thread and so lost it, or never had the power of directing its course? Those lost souls will have spent their lives seeking aimlessly a goal they are fast losing sight of until they barter their ideals for the benefits society has to offer them, or resign themselves to the lowest degree where they will become parasites on society. Seniors are at the threshold of this complication. Quo Vadis? A. Kelinor Ruderman FACU LTY Famltg Left to Eight, Top Row: Miss Virginia H. Gerke, Secretary to the Principal; Miss Harriette M.

Much headway was made during the year along journalistic lines, and the staff was so well coordinated as to secure more efficient and more polished reporting and editing. The financial staff also made marked improvement. The issues of the paper for the first half of the year won a fourth prize in their class at the Columbia Scholastic Press Conference. M. H. S. Literary Society continued where they left off last year still holding down the two highest positions. G. Robert Osgood started the year as Editor-in-Chief with Edward W. Martin as business manager, who continued throughout the year in that capacity. “Bob”, however, gave away to Betty Foss at the half way mark. The staff: Editor-in-Chief, G.

NATIONAL HONOR SOCIETY The National Honor Society is a standard society in many of the high schools throughout the country. The Malden chapter is dedicated to Mr. John W. Hutchins, for many years the popular principal of this high school. To be a member of this society is considered one of the highest honors attributed to a graduate from high school. This distinction, eagerly sought by too many students, is offered only to those members of the senior class who are considered to fulfil best the ideals of the National Honor Society—character, scholarship, leadership, and service. Out of a class of 480 the following outstanding members have been chosen: Earle Benson, Esther Berman, Doris Brittain, Thomas Corrigan, Charles Crooker, Dorothy Dargie, Arthur Dowd, Theodore Edwards, Jessie Fandetti, Carolyn Foxall, Shirley Goodman, Howard Lowe, Edward Martin, Robert Newton, Robert Osgood, Helen Porter, Ruth Roberts, Philip Shap¬ leigh, Raymond Smardon, Raymond Taylor, Mary Turner, and Elizabeth Worthen.

COG The Cognoscendi Causa Society of the Malden High School, more commonly known as Cog, has enjoyed one of its most successful admin¬ istrations in all of its 15 years abounding in activities and achievements. The officers for the 1936A term were: president, Irving Pass; vice presi¬ dent, William Greenblatt; treasurer, Samuel Rosenfield; secretary, Myer Sharpe. Miss Slattery is the faculty adviser. Cog, as usual, displayed a great interest in debating and in the an¬ nual debate with Winthrop High School won by the unanimous decision of the judges. Cog also did its part to revive debating in the high school, by fostering the round robin debating league, which it put into operation with the able assistance of Miss Slattery. A cup was presented by Miss Slattery to the winning team and a gold medal was presented by Cog to the best speaker of the final debate. The 1936-A administration was rewarded for its faithful work by an unusual election of most of the major officers, the only change being the election of Benjamin London, vice-president. Cog was just as busy during the second half of the year. The Twelfth Annual Cog Prize Speaking Contest was successfully carried out in March, in which a silver loving cup was given as first prize, a gold medal as second prize, and a silver medal as third prize. Also the two highest ranking boys in the contest were sent to Colby College, Maine, to compete in a New England Speaking College—with all expenses paid. To round out this busy year. Cog held its annual Alumni Night, sponsored the Memorial Day Assembly and presented the Graduation Orator with a silver loving cup.

A Christmas party for Usona members took place on December 20, and an entertainment was provided by talented members. Almost the entire active membership plus some welcome alumnae met at Russo’s on March 18 for Usona’s annual banquet. Mr. Matthews, past adviser of Usona, and Miss Holbrook, present adviser, spoke infor¬ mally. Trial debates at the meeting paved the way for Usona’s entrance into the Inter-Club Debate Contest.

It is comprised only of honor Latin students from the Junior and Senior classes. On May 7 of this year, there was a joint meeting between the French and Latin Societies. On this occasion a play based on Virgil’s AENEID, characterizing not only those who figure in the poem, but also ancient writers and rulers, was presented. The dramatization of mythological tales has helped to develop a bet¬ ter understanding of classical literature.

THE INTERNATIONAL RELATIONS CLUB The International Relations Club was formed two years ago for the purpose of helping to bring about a better understanding of the relations between nations. Since that time the club has had many speakers who have presented the viewpoints of various nations or have remained un¬ biased. Because of its youth the club has felt that it would do better to establish itself firmly first and to participate in activities later. There¬ fore its only activity thus far has been to participate in the Round Robin debate tournament. The present officers are Theodore Kalem, president; Martin Slobodkin, vice-president; Rose Glazer, secretary; Eli Neipris, treasurer; Donald Marshall, publicity manager.

POLITICAL SCIENCE CLUB Some years ago, due to the efforts of William Bresnick, a new club was formed, known as the Political Science Club. William Bresnick, be¬ sides being instrumental in forming the club, was for two years, chair¬ man of the club which is under the direction of Mr. Morton H. Wiggin. Political Science Club participated in two important events of the year, the debating league and the inter-club play contest. The debating team was composed of Joseph Stone, Isadore Levy, and Joseph DiSantis. In the inter-club play contest. Political Science Club offered, as its con¬ tribution, a play entitled “The King Who Burned The Cakes.” The characters in the play were as follows: A stranger, Joseph Stone; A peasant woman, Phyllis Blumsack; and Two Earls, George Sherman and Mitchell Shector. The aim of the Political Science Club is to further educational and social activities. The officers for the year 1936 were as follows: Isadore Levy, presi¬ dent; Phyllis Blumsack, secretary; George Sherman, treasurer; and Joseph Stone, publicity manager.

Hi-Y has enjoyed a successful year under the leadership of the fol¬ lowing able officers: Harlan Woods, president; Robert Newton, vice-pres¬ ident; Fred Wischhusen, secretary; Frank Cameron and Lawrence Dargie, treasurers. The club enjoyed many interesting discussions and talks under the direction of such people as foreign students from M.I.T., representatives of the various city departments. His Honor the Mayor, Dr. William Q. Roselle, and our own adviser, Mr. Harold E. Brewer. The social side of Hi-Y life shows no sign of neglect; for such func¬ tions as a Halloween social, a Co-ed Night, monthly suppers, annual Lake Walden outing, and a joint banquet with Tri-Hi were conducted efficiently. This year the club attended the Annual Older Boys’ Conference, Mystic Valley League Roundups, and the Presidents’ Institute at Spring- field; also, one member of our Malden Club was privileged to attend the National Hi-Y Conference in Kentucky. To help defray the expenses of this trip, Hi-Y sponsored a minstrel show. Back Row—Left to Right: Pauline Sherman, Dorothy Dargie, Charlotte Greek.

Charity baskets were distributed at Thanksgiving and Christmas; and in January, the society conducted a white elephant sale. In March, the club installed the officers of the newly organized Somer¬ ville Tri-Hi. In April, the Acwy Club joined Tri-Hi in a social evening. In May, a progressive dinner was held; and the year closed with an annual Tri-Hi—Hi-Y banquet and dance. Back Row—Left to Right: Donald Marshall, Philip Golden.

The art class adopted this policy in response to the numerous demands of societies and organizations. Generally, the artists have been rewarded for their services by complimentary tickets to the affairs which they helped advertise. The officers of the Art Club this year were Phil Golden, president; Donald Marshall, vice-president; Anna Anderson, secretary; Shirley Van Wart, treasurer; and Emily Coffin, monitor. Elaine Ray, Hull Carpenter, Sidney Zeitler, Betty Foss. THE JUNIOR CLASS The Junior Class was organized as early as June 1935 with Miss Abbott, now Mrs. Simon Zimonian, as chief adviser. The officers elected were: president, Walter Hull Carpenter; vice president, Betty Dean Foss; secretary, Elaine Carolyn Ray; and treasurer, Sydney Zeitler. A “get acquainted party” was held the last week of school which was both socially and financially successful. During the summer. Miss Abbott was married and Mr. Jenkins ap¬ pointed Mr. Brookes as chief adviser with Miss Moore, Miss Holbrook, and Miss Knight as associate advisers. A party and dance was held in the early part of the year, and later on, a poverty party. The success of the Class was due not only to the splendid cooperation of the advisers and officers, but also to the spirit of the Class. Before the end of the year, the Class chose the following officers to represent them in their Senior Year: president, Walter Carpenter; vice president, Betty Foss; secretary, Elaine Ray; treasurer, Walter Cuenin. ENGLISH CLUB During the past three years, English Club has been outstanding in its accomplishments. During this period, the club has done much to further its aims along debating, dramatic, and other cultural lines. In 1934, a most successful three-act play was presented. The Annual Guest Night and the Inter-Club Play Contest were sponsored by the club. To complete an active season, the members enjoyed an outing to Camp Man¬ ning. The year of 1935 under the capable direction of Mr. Bowman met with equal success. During this past year, English Club was one of the eight societies to join the Malden High School Debating Tournament. The Inter-Club Play Contest was sponsored as usual. BIOLOGY CLUB Biology Club has had one of the most active and busy years in its existence. It began the year by having an Open House Night in Sep¬ tember, to which all the school was invited. The program consisted of a lecture by Dr. Malcolm MacDonald on the latest developments in science. Other very popular speakers entertaining its members include Mr. 0. C. Burne of the Mass. Department of Conservation, Mr. Brookes, and Dr. George Roemmert. Perhaps the credit for the success of the club can be given to its officers: Sumner Collier, president; Victor Dargie, vice-president; Dorothy Dargie, secretary; Sylvia Pearlswig, treasurer; and Leon King, publicity manager. A dance was held in January which was both a financial and a social success. When mid-year elections came, Francis Fitzpatrick was elected pres¬ ident; Russell Smith, vice-president; Dorothy Dargie, secretary; Martin Slobodkin, publicity manager; Marion Roberts, treasurer; and Elaine Mc¬ Intyre, sergeant-at-arms. An interesting talkie was offered to the entire school through the courtesy of Squibb’s, featuring the “Life and Achievements of Dr. Squibb”. CAMERA CLUB Last year three amateur photographers, Harvey Strong, Leonard Thomas, and Orvet Stewart decided that Malden High School needed a camera club. They talked it over with Mr. Twitched, who thought it a good idea, and agreed to be the adviser. The first meeting was a get-acquainted meeting, with the election of officers and committees. Plans were discussd for following meetings. The meetings were held Thursday evenings at 7:00 P. M. in the Annex. Printing and learning how to take pictures were among the first things taken up. MUSIC APPRECIATION CLUB President —Catherine Winne Secretary —Harriet Gaitanary This year the Music Appreciation Club, under the guidance of Miss Perkins, has enjoyed Walter Damrosch’s radio programs of selections from well-known composers. Every Friday from September to April, the club met in the typewriting room. There the composers and the selec¬ tions were discussed, and the following week the radio program was heard. The club was fortunate in having Mr. William Dineen, organist at the Methodist Church and alumnus of Malden High, play for them on the piano some selections which they had been studying. At other meetings members of the club furnished selections concerning future programs. THE MacDOWELL CLUB President —Harriet Gaitanary Secretary —Natalie Press Assistant Secretary —Florence Bunnell Librarian —Alice Duckworth Under the direction of Miss Perkins, the Macdowell Glub has enjoyed a year of training in appreciation, selection, and interpretation of music. The selections studied during the year have been those of the old masters and a few of those of contemporary composers. During the past year the club has held no concerts, but many of its members participated in the production of Gilbert and Sullivan’s “Mikado”. Every two weeks there have been short programs given by some talented member of the school. Ruth Gray is chairman of the committee for these programs. The Macdowell Club did its finest piece of work on the haunting “Norwegian Lath Song” as arranged by Wilson. JUNIOR SCHUBERT CLUB Director—M iss Harriet Perkins President —Robert Hamilton Secreta7y-Treasurer —Harriet Gaitanary Librarians —Charles Crooker, Gerald Collins This is the first boys’ glee club that Malden High has had for several years, but all who have heard it commend it highly. Mr. E. MacArthur invited the club to attend the opening night of the Schubert Club. The boys enjoyed the concert so much that they adopted the name of Junior Schubert Club. Miss Perkins, the director, has led the 56 members in singing two and four part harmonies. A. Mozzetti is the accompanist. BAND Mr. Carl E. Taylor, faculty manager of the band for a great many years, is forced to resign the position due to more pressing matters. During the second night of our band concert, at Lincoln Jr. High School, the band presented him with a leather brief case in appreciation of his loyal work. Raymond Taylor, his son and our student leader made the presentation. Mr. Taylor said he was very sorry to leave, and I know the band is sorry to see him go. Mr. Taylor has set a high example for his successor, Mr. Tolman, to follow. This year our band had one of its most colorful seasons. At the football games it was greatly appreciated, due to popular songs, trick marching, and stirring march tunes. This year our band escorted Santa Claus for Joslin’s Store, it played at the Boston Horse Show on Society Night, putting on one of its finest drills, and performed splendidly at the hockey game between the Boston Bruins and Toronto Mapleleafs. Their work for the Knight Templars was greatly appreciated by the Templars. Our band concerts at Beebe and Lincoln Jr. Highs respectively, proved a big success under the guiding hands of Mr. Chester Whiting, director, Mr. Carl E. Taylor, business manager, and Raymond Taylor, student leader. Mr. Chester Whiting is responsible for our having one of the best bands in New England. We may have a chance to prove this in com¬ petition in Portland, Maine. William Leslie, head drum-major, and Raymond Taylor did fine work in putting the band through its paces. Sixteen outstanding seniors to graduate are: Raymond Taylor, Rob¬ ert Hamilton, William Leslie, Leslie Van Buskirk, Frank Barochire, Ray¬ mond Henrickson, Russell Morgan, Richard Tolstrop, Roland Burchstead, Harvey Strong, Harmon Tate, George Yanakopolis, Edward Randall, Ja¬ cob Mould, Robert Popkin, and George Sherman. Five seniors to get special honors for perfect attendance are: Ray¬ mond Taylor, Robert Hamilton, Jacob Mould, Harmon Tate, and Raymond Henrickson. ORCHESTRA One of the finest organizations of the school is the orchestra of about 38 pieces. Mr. Whiting is the director and Howard Lowe, the student leader. This year the orchestra played at Greenroom’s performance of “Lyric Poisoning” and at the Evening School Graduation. The members of the orchestra were guest artists at the Benefit Band Concert this spring. The members of the orchestra have enjoyed and profited by their practices and performances this year and, as usual, plan to play at Gradu¬ ation, June 10. ECCE SIGNUM On the fourth of October, Ecce Signum opened its social season with a Sport Dance at the Winchester Boat Club. Shortly before Thanksgiving, a Turkey Bridge was held at the Y. W. C. A.; and in March, the sorority sponsored its annual dance at Hotel Westminster. The closing event of the season was a dinner dance held in May at Hotel Brunswick. KAI LUN Kai Lull Sorority celebrated its fifteenth anniversary during the week of Christmas vacation. On Monday evening, the celebration opened with a banquet in the Roosevelt Room, Hotel Touraine. This affair was fol¬ lowed by a bowling party, a theatre party, and a bridge, successively, while the climactic event consisted of a formal dance at the Hotel Statler. In March, there was a Dutch supper; and in the late spring, the sorority held a sport dance. SIGMA PHI Sigma Phi has already launched into its sixteenth successful year. The aim of the sorority is to promote a lasting friendship among its members, and to assist in furthering charitable enterprises. In January, Sigma Phi held its annual gala formal dinner-dance at the New Brunswick Casino. To celebrate its sixteenth anniversary, a brilliant affair in the form of a banquet, which was attended by alumnae as well as present high school members, was held at Hotel Touraine. Sigma Phi wishes the members of the class of 1936 a most successful future. PHI DELTA PHI This year. Phi Delta Phi began its thirteenth year as a very active sorority. On December 13, 1935, a formal dance was held at the Fox and Hounds Club. February 22, the members of Phi Delta Phi Sorority enjoyed a thea¬ tre party, at which time one of the season’s best plays was witnessed. The sorority’s next social event was in the form of a benefit dance held jointly with Alpha Mu Fraternity. Commencing Sunday, May 24, anniversary week was celebrated. This celebration included a Mother and Daughter afternoon, a summer formal at the Meadowbrook Golf Club, and a banquet. The officers of Phi Delta Phi’s thirteenth administration are president, Sylvia J. Pearlswig; vice-president, Shirley Goodman; secretary, Eleanor Buffet; Treasurer, Eunice Kramer. KAPPA PHI Kappa Phi opened its social season with a successful dinner dance, which was the forerunner of two other dances, one formal and one in¬ formal. The sorority continued its support of the Red Cross and Willcox Hall, and gave help to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Fifteen new members were accepted, and from the entire active member¬ ship twelve will be lost through graduation. A dinner has been planned as the official conclusison to the 1935-1936 program. Kappa Phi wishes luck and happiness to the graduates. EN KA En Ka, for thirty years an active Malden sorority, is completing a particularly interesting year. In addition to its wholly successful Decem¬ ber formal and joint dance with Gamma Signum, the sorority held a sport dance at the Meadowbrook Golf Club. En Ka’s financially prosperous year has enabled it to donate liberally to the Red Cross, the Kentucky-Whites, the Girl Scout Organization, Hos¬ pital Aid, and to Willcox Hall. To the incoming sophomores the sorority extends its warmest wel¬ come, and to Malden High School’s graduating class of 1936, its sincerest wishes of success. 3iratpntttip0 ALPHA MU In the year 1920, a group of Jewish Malden High School students, in order to further their own interest and to tie the bonds of a more congenial companionship, duly established this Alpha Mu, a fraternity. Samuel Cooper was first of a long and illustrious list of grand masters who have led Alpha Mu through fifteen years of trials and conquests to fulfil its aforementioned aim, until in the year 1936, six¬ teen years later Alpha Mu is greater than it ever was. It has given the Jewish boys of Malden and its brother chapters a bond, which once sealed forever, shall remain intact, an everlasting fraternal tie of good will and brotherhood. At its helm, guiding its distances for this last year were Mathew Wolozin, Grand Master; Joseph Neipris, Master; Louis Harris, Master of Finances; Sydney Zeitler, Master of Scribes; Murray Lilly, Burser of Correspondence; and Martin Slobodkin, Historian. During the year 1935-1936 Alpha Mu has held two successful private dances, one at the socially prominent Andover Country Club, and the other at the popular Myles Standish Room of the Myles Standish Hotel in Boston’s exclusive Back Bay. At this writing it is preparing for its annual outing, held at some well-known summer resort. Nor has its in¬ terest in education lagged, for it has established the precedent of award¬ ing a Salutatorian Key to the highest ranking boy, considering such a noble achievement worthy of recognition and acknowledgment. This year has been one of the most successful and satisfying in the annals of Alpha Mu. ALPHA DELTA SIGMA The Law Chapter of Alpha Delta Sigma has had an excellent year. Meetings were held every two weeks at some brother’s home with sociables afterwards. Dances were run in November and May giving all the people present good times. Only five new members were brought into the fraternity, but more are expected to be initiated next year. The year was closed with a ban¬ quet and get-together at the Kernwood Club planned by the strong support¬ ing alumni. The officers were president, Fred Noseworthy; vice-presi¬ dent, Donald E. Anderson; treasurer, Hull Carpenter; secretary, Norman Foster; and chaplain, Philip James. GAMMA SIGMA Gamma Sigma has progressed rapidly during the past year. President Bill Dowd had a hard time in corraling it together the first part of the year. At last he succeeded and the following were elected to office: presi¬ dent, Donald Anderton; vice president, Tom Corrigan; treasurer, Robert Foote; secretary, A1 Kenney. The chapter rose from nine active members to nineteen by Christmas. Elections were held in January with the following officers being re¬ elected: Donald Anderton, Tom Corrigan, Bob Foote. Carpenter was elected to the secretary’s office. A sleigh ride was planned with much enthusiasm, and all who attended it had a fine time. The chapter next ran a dance together with En Ka sorority at the picturesque Woodland Country Club in Newton. Again all enjoyed them¬ selves. It can truthfully be said that under the able leadership of Don Ander¬ ton Gamma Sigma has indeed progressed and is looking forward to a better one next year. ALPHA ZETA PI The Alpha Zeta Pi Fraternity has just about completed another suc¬ cessful administration under Chancellor Irving Levine who was ably as¬ sisted by Vice-Chancellor Milton Levine, Scribe Ralph Golding, and Bur- sor Louis Barnett. The administration started off with a sport dance on the Eve of Thanksgiving, at the fashionable Happy Valley Golf Club in Lynnfield, which was splendidly supported. The following month on Christmas night a formal dance was held at the exclusive Fox and Hounds Club in the Back Bay of Boston. Some sixty odd fraters attended this affair. Then, upon April 22 of this current year, a novel “slap” dance or depression party was held at the delightful Bear Hill Golf Club in Stoneham. Cos¬ tumes and prizes were the order of the night and a pleasant time was had by all who attended. At present all thoughts are being turned toward our annual motor-boat party which is held every year, the Sunday after school closes. Thus, has the Alpha Zeta Pi Fraternity added another interesting and successful year to its calendar, and turns with great hope toward the next school year. THE MIKADO On Thursday and Friday evenings of April 30 and May 1, the Malden High School Senior Class of 1936 presented “The Mikado”, a comic opera by Gilbert and Sullivan. It is the common opinion that this is the out¬ standing musical production ever to be presented at Malden High. Play¬ ing on both nights to near-capacity audiences, the members of the cast rendered almost flawless performances. Samuel White, a member of the junior class, nearly stole the show with his song, “The Flowers that Bloom in the Spring, Tra, La,” which he sang in English, French, German, Latin, Tough-Guy Dialect, and Hog- Latin, not to mention one verse in which he did not sing at all, but just moved his lips. Bob Hamilton, who has the unusual record of having been in the orchestra of “Pinafore”, having had the leading part in the “Pirates of Penzance”, and the main role in “The Mikado”, which are the only three Gilbert and Sullivan Operettas that have ever been presented at Malden High, has made himself remembered to all through his flne performance and his beautiful voice. Charlie Crooker, who also played in the orchestra of “Pinafore”, and had parts in the “Pirates of Penzance” and “The Mikado”, portrayed exceptionally well his part as the big-stomached, easily-bribed politician. Jessie Fandetti, in the role of Katisha, had an excellent opportunity to show her really fine dramatic voice. In the opinion of many, the three little girls from school, Alice Duck¬ worth, Doris Thulin, and Shirley Van Wart, were the best performers of the evening, with their graceful and dainty dances, and their pretty girl¬ ish voices. Alice Duckworth was also commended for her fine solo singing. William Greenblatt, as the pompous Mikado of Japan, who liked to flirt with the pretty school-girls, was excellent, and received many laughs for his comic dance in which he was trailed by his umbrella bearer, Walter Hittl. Ellsworth Moody, as the sober-faced lord, presented his part ex¬ tremely well. Acknowledgement should be made at this point of the hard work of Miss Perkins, who put every bit of her effort into making this show a success. Harriet Gaitanary is also to be commended on her great job as secretary of the whole affair. In charge of taking care of the fans, taking attendance, checking up on chorus books, and other miscellaneous jobs that do not attract attention or notice, Harriet did her part efficient¬ ly and well. For the sake of those who do not know the story of the “Mikado”, a brief summary will be given: Nanki-Pooh, the son of the Mikado of Japan, flees from his father’s court disguised as a wandering minstrel to escape the wiles of Katisha, an elderly lady who wishes to marry him. While thus disguised, Nanki- Pooh meets Yum-Yum and falls in love with her. Yum-Yum and her sisters, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, have all left school to prepare for Yum-Yum’s wedding with Ko-Ko, her guardian, who holds the office of Lord High Executioner. She loves Nanki-Pooh in re¬ turn, but knows she must inevitably become the bride of her guardian. In despair, Nanki-Pooh is about to kill himself; but he is restrained by Ko-Ko, Pooh-Bah (Lord High Everything Else) and Pish-Tush, an¬ other aristocrat. Ko-Ko is in a dilemma. He has beheaded no one since he became Lord High Exceutioner, and the Mikado has commanded that there be an execution within the month or Ko-Ko must cut off his own head. Since Nanki-Pooh is resolved to die, Ko-Ko begs him to be executed at the end of the month. To this Nanki-Pooh agrees if he may immediate¬ ly marry Yum-Yum. Preparations for the wedding go forward, when Ko-Ko happens upon a law which states that when a married man Is be¬ headed, his wife must be buried alive. Yum-Yum regards this as a deter¬ rent and refuses to marry Nanki-Pooh. The Mikado and his suite are meanwhile drawing near the city. The soft-hearted Ko-Ko cannot bring himself to kill Nanki-Pooh, so, with Pooh-Bah’s connivance, he makes affidavit that Nanki-Pooh has been executed, gives Nanki-Pooh and Yum-Yum permission to marry, and ar¬ ranges their flight from the country. When the Mikado arrives, accompanied by Katisha, he reads of Nanki- Pooh’s execution and confounds Ko-Ko by informing him that he has killed the Heir Apparent. For this crime, according to Japanese law, Ko-Ko must himself be put to death. Therefore, Ko-Ko tells Nanki- Pooh, who is about to go on his honeymoon with Yum-Yum, that he must be brought to life again and make himself known to the Mikado, his father. This Nanki-Pooh refuses to do while Katisha remains single; for unless she marries someone else, he will be punished for not marrying her himself. Ko-Ko relieves the situation by becoming Katisha’s suitor, and she accepts him. Then Nanki-Pooh and Yum-Yum present themselves to the Mikado and receive his forgiveness. Cast The Mikado op Japan .

Walter Hittl SENIOR PLAY—‘‘BIG HEARTED HERBERT” The winter of 1934-35 marks the time when the senior class as juniors, made its debut in the dramatic field. The play committees, with the help of Miss Christine MacLaughlin, faculty adviser, as well as the entire cast with Ruth Roberts, Edmund Strait, and Joseph J. Devaney starring and Miss Martha Abbott as coach, worked patiently and co¬ operatively to make “Big-Hearted Herbert” a success and do credit to the class. The story of the play revolved around “Big-Hearted Herbert” Kal- ness, portrayed by Edmund Strait, and his pride in being a plain, con¬ servative man. After having insulted the family of his daughter’s fiance, his family adjust themselves to his principles when his best customers are invited to dinner. Sudden realization of the foolishness of his principles cause him to change his tactics completely. The remarkable acting of Edmund Strait as an agitating husband, Ruth Roberts as a patient wife, and Joseph Devaney as the mischievious spoiled son, as well as the others in the cast, brought credit to the class.

Thelma Cronican ONE IN A MILLION The Lit-Usona play, coached by Miss Barbara Estey, was presented on October 25, 1935, for the double purpose of providing entertainment and raising money for the scholarship fund maintained by the two organi¬ zations. “One in a Million” is the hilarious tale of Sam (Kenneth Carter), whose escapades have occasionally roused the ire of his wealthy Aunt Lemira (Ruth Roberts). To defray the costs of his last adventure, he has recently obtained $1000 from her after she received his announcement of marriage to lovely Wilma Maitland (Betty Worthen), whom he, in reality, does not know. When Auntie insists on coming to New York for a visit to the “Newlyweds”, Sam appeals to his friend Archie (Howard Lowe) to persuade the girl in question to pose as his wife, to which she ultimately agrees. Archie, meanwhile, is confronted with a problem of his own. His Uncle Temple (Hull Carpenter) is temporarily infatuated by Goldie (Grace Brown), and in his anxiety to rid himself of her, he promises his apartment to the “young couple”, in return for help in free¬ ing him from his lady-love. Auntie is only fooled for the time being, and finally recognizes that genuine affection has developed between her wayward nephew and Wilma. Uncle Temple’s affairs are righted, and the final curtain leaves everyone satisfied, including the spectators, whose appreciative applause indicated that the production was a success. Arthur Dowd as Sam’s butler, and Eleanor Haggett as Goldie’s gold-digging mother, added appreciably to the humor of the play. THE SENIOR OUTING On Tuesday morning, February 11th, 105 seniors and 7 teachers gaily boarded the B. M. Snow Train, bound for fun and more fun at Plymouth, N. H. The rest of the sad seniors went to school to spend study periods wishing they were on the outing. During the ride up, the observation platform seemed to be the fav¬ orite stamping ground, and most of us received nice doses of snow in the face. At eleven-thirty the train arrived at Plymouth. Everyone scattered for lunch, and while eating, watched with great fascination the sleighs and skis being used right in the main streets—some difference between Plymouth and the big city of Malden! After lunch the groups went to ski on the Frontenac Trail, or to toboggan and ski on the golf course. A few skilled Plymouth boys came to show us their skill. All went well until Gilbert Newman tried to uproot a tree by running into it head on with his toboggan. The tree lived, and so did Gilbert. Late in the afternoon everyone gathered at the train and, as we started home, the lunch boxes v ere opened and the contents quickly eaten. The ride home was lots of fun. The cars were in such confusion that the conductors could hardly get through. The train arrived at the Western Division Station at 8:10 and out piled 112 weary people. The next day the school halls were filled with the groans of stiff and lame seniors; but they really didn’t mind.

FOOTBALL In the fall of 1935, a human tornado in the form of the Malden High Football team, directed by Head Coach Warren McGuirk and Captain ‘‘Jimmie” Fitzgerald, whirled its way through a successful season losing only to the powerful Gildea Machine from Everett and tying Medford’s hard fighting gridmen. With one of the toughest schedules in the state. Coach McGuirk was dauntless. He went to work and developed one of the best offensive, and defensive teams in the state. In Captain Fitzger¬ ald, “Charley” O’Rourke, “Pete” Cignetti, and “Al” Steed he had a set of backs that rivaled any others in Massachusetts. Aside from these, he had such capable substitutes as Norman Clough, “Al” Spadafora, “Char¬ ley” Hanifan, and Dexter Schaffner. We must not forget those who made it possible for these men to shine; namely, the linemen. Facing the season with one veteran. Coach McGuirk moulded from a group of willing workers, a stubborn and deter¬ mined line, consisting of the following men: Trickey, Kenney, and Dichiara as ends; Reardon, Jones, and Winship as tackles; Captain-elect Dennen, Maffeo, and Baum as guards; Crooker and Upham as centers. From this inexperienced group he formed the 1935 State Champions. Some of the high spots in the season were the disastrous defeats of Manchester, Brockton, and Lynn Classical; Leo Reardon’s points after touchdowns; “Charley” O’Rourke’s bullet passes; and the hard charging of Malden’s linemen. Those who received all-scholastic ratings were Leo Reardon, “Char¬ ley” O’Rourke, “Pete” Cignetti, “Al” Kenney, and “Eddie” Baum. Those who were recipients of varsity sweaters were Captain Fitz¬ gerald, Trickey, Kenney, Dichiara, Garland, Reardon, Winship, Jones, Captain-elect Dennen, Maffeo, Baum, Harris, Malpera, Upham, Crooker, Steed, O’Rourke, Cignetti, Clough, Spadafora, Hanifan, and Manager Spakoski.

BASEBALL With most of last year’s team back this year, and augmented by a strong group of sophomores, Coach “Charlie” McGeoch of the Malden High School Baseball Team has put a strong team on the hold. Although three of the first four games were lost, he still believes that the team has a good chance to capture the championship of the Greater Boston League. Among the seniors on this year’s nine are Captain “Charlie” O’Rourke, Pete Cignetti, “Dick” Mullaney, Marshall Anderson, “Dom” De Marco, Paul Ruelle, and “Thin” DiSanto. Prospects for next season are bright with a number of strong juniors and sophomores returning.

TRACK This year the Malden High Track Team, led by Co-captains Harlan Woods and Forest Cowell and coached by Henry “Batch” Batchelder, was led through a very successful season with a tie for second in the Annual State Meet at the Boston Garden. This team, which was one of the best in recent years, did not lose one dual meet. The tracksters defeated Medford, Somerville, and Arlington, impressively. At the Northeastern Meet, they captured third place, missing second by 1 2 point. Consistent point gainers this year were Co-captains Woods, and Cowell, Ed Wartel, Leo Reardon, and Charlie Crooker. Losing most of his veterans by graduation, we trust that Coach “Batch” will turn out a team next season which will be a worthy succes¬ sor of the present team.

Outside the league, Malden defeated the powerful Harvard freshmen and Tufts freshmen by large scores. Those who received all-scholastic ratings were Fred Sherman and William Burke. Outstanding men in all games were Captain Joe Dyresen, Fred Sher¬ man, Bill Burke, and Captain-elect Pershing Pothier. Letters were awarded to the following: Captain Joe Dyresen, Captain- elect Pershing Pothier, Bill Burke, Paul Lamb, Dick Bransfield, Walter Cuenin, Fred Sherman, Louis Barrol, Henry Pilato, and Bernard Weiner.

Taylor Team Captain —Raymond Taylor The Malden High School Rifle Club, although not enjoying the na¬ tional prominence of a year ago, has just concluded another most pleasant and successful season. The mythical title of State and New England High School Champion still remains the proud possession of the Malden High School Rifle Club, having never been defeated in this type of com¬ petition. Thirty-six students have enjoyed active membership in the club this year and their individual records both in qualification and com¬ petitive shooting have been a credit to themselves and to the club. Two teams of ten members each have competed in ten scheduled matches of National Postal competition. Twenty-four teams from coast to coast comprise Division A in which Malden placed fourth. Thirty teams flred in Division B with Malden placing third. Local competition was sched¬ uled with Norwood, Watertown, Brockton, and Melrose High School to complete another undefeated season. The club has developed the fol¬ lowing Expert Riflemen this year: Stanley Thomas, Paul Mansur, Henry Sanborn, Maurice Baer, Walter Rooney, Stewart Gillette, Edward Rum- rill, and Lawrence Dargie. The National Rifle Association at Washing¬ ton, D.C. recognizes this accomplishment by awarding a special gold med¬ al and diploma to these individuals. Added to the above mentioned ex¬ pert riflemen are Captain Ray Taylor, a national schoolboy champion, Norman Cheever, Leon King, and Lester Horton, making a total of eleven Expert Riflemen within the club. All of the above mentioned riflemen merit special commendation for the splendid contribution to t heir school and club through the realm of rifle shooting and each will be awarded a varsity letter for the season just closed.

GIRLS’ RIFLE CLUB This year, the Girls’ Rifle Club was organized with Mr. Taylor as coach and Sally Thurman, team captain. Twenty-four girls have held active membership since last October, when a charter was granted to the club by the National Rifle Association at Washington, D.C. Incidental to their shooting over the qualification course, the club maintains a team which shoots in National Postal and local shoulder-to- shoulder competition. In the Postal competition, comprised of six matches, the girls won first place, and were awarded a silver trophy. On May 9 Sally Thurman, Mary Rundgren, Marian Russell, and Ruth Nolan, the four top ranking shooters in the club, represented Malden High School at Beverly, Massachusetts, where they won first place in both the team and individual matches, Sally Thurman and Mary Rundgren receiving special medal awards in the individual competition. The following mem¬ bers will be awarded varsity letters: Sally Thurman, Marian Russell, Mary Rundgren, Ruth Nolan, Jean Woodbury, Edna Cary, Louise Matheson, and Florence Johnson. Back Row—Left to Right: Donald Bedell, Thomas Buckley, Kenneth Blackshaw, Edward W. Martin, Leslie Van Buskirk. Front Row—Left to Right: Captain Joseph Harris, Raymond Smardon, Jacob Olasky, George Mahoney, Coach Clarke R. Brookes. TENNIS With only three veterans left from last season’s tennis team, Mr. Brookes has been building up this year’s team from inexperienced ma¬ terial. However, Malden shows promise for the future. The team has Joe Harris, who is a ranking player in the state, Jacob Olasky, and Ray¬ mond Smardon who are consistent point gainers. The others we are sure will be a strong foundation on which to establish the 1937 team. Letter men are as follows: Captain Joe Harris, Jacob Olasky, Ray¬ mond Smardon, George Mahoney, Don Bedell, Kenneth Blackshaw, Leslie Van Buskirk, Joseph Buckley.

GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM The Girls’ Tennis Team was composed of the following players: Edith Holmes, Sylvia Holmes, Clarinda Turner, Captain Mary E. Turner, Helen Tasso, Eleanor Haggett, and Alice Duckworth. The subs were Frances Hayden, Betty Bean, and Barbara Bean. The manager, “Kitty” Winne, arranged the schedule as follows: Lex¬ ington, Arlington, Winthrop, Winchester, Reading, Medford, Watertown, Concord, Melrose, and Brookline. Back Row—Left to Right: Coach Charles McGeoch, Robert Foote, Walter Cuenin, Paul Ruelle, Charles Hanifan, John Frietas, Richard Connors. Front Row—Left to Right: Lester Horton, Sylvester Cosman, Henry James, Raymond Taylor, Bartlett Davis, Alfred LaFreniere, John Flanagan. HOCKEY Under the leadership of Captain “Ray” Taylor and the excellent coaching of Mr. Charles McGeoch, the suburban high school hockey cham¬ pions were organized. During the Christmas vacation, Coach McGeoch called out the can¬ didates for the hockey team. A great number of enthusiasts reported, and to show their real interest in the sport, they had many early morning practices. After a few of these, the squad was slowly weeded out, giving Coach McGeoch a better chance to work with his boys. The team won six out of nine games, losing early season games to Somerville and Hudson, but defeating both in return games. During the season the work of Captain “Ray” Taylor in the Malden goal position was a bright spot, as was the playing of John Freitas, high scorer of the team. The playing of Captain-elect Cuenin, Lester Horton, A1 LaFreniere, Charles Hanifan, Bob Foote, and Dick Connors is also worth mentioning. In the course of the season, a new league was formed which is to be actively started next year at the Boston Arena, with a game being played every Friday Night. The record of the team is as follows: Malden 3, Somerville 1; Malden 2, Somervile 1; Malden 0, Somerville 3; Malden 1, Hudson 2; Malden 3, Hudson 2; Malden 5, Revere 1; Malden 4, Revere 0; Malden 5, Boston Latin 1; Malden 6, Medford 6. The prospects for another banner season next year are extremely bright as only six men will be lost by graduation. These players are Taylor, LaFreniere, Flanagan, Horton, James, and Davis. With the rink available and the additional practice given teams in the league, the team has an excellent chance of another successful season. The letter men are as follows: Captain Raymond Taylor, Richard L. Connors, John L. Freitas, Captain-elect Walter Cuenin, Robert Foote, Sylvester Cosman, Paul Ruelle, Alfred LaFreniere, Charles Hanifan, Bartlett Davis, Lester Horton, Henry James, and John Flanagan.

The team is being coached by Mr. Christian of the faculty, who is a well known golfer around this section. Practice is held at the Sagamore Golf Club every week and with more practice sessions and a few games, Malden will be proud of their new golf team. The team is represented by Eddie Franzeim, Howard Snow, Frank Butler, Ed Shute, Don Anderson, Fred Stormont, Eddie Barkhouse, Bill Cargill, and Don Anderton. The first and second matches with Wakefield and Governor Dummer Academy added valuable game experience to this new group. There are high hopes for next season’s golf team as only three boys will be lost by graduation. We wish good luck to this new venture.

Out of the nine games played, Malden’s first team lost only two, one to Watertown and the other to Peabody.
