The keen interest in our High School and the substantial aid she has afforded us are fully appreciated by all those connected in any way with this institution. We here acknowledge our appreciation of the munificence she has shown towards us. An Appreciation We, the Class of 1928, sincerely express our gratitude and thanks to Mr. Quimby, our Principal, for having successfully and consecien- tiously guided us through our four vears of Tligh Sehool. THe has been more than our Principal; he has been a friend and adviser to each of us individually. [lis patience and perseverance have been untiring, and each day he has had a smile and friendly words for us. We are sincerely regretful at leaving such a fine friend, and in the vears to come we shall miss him a great deal. This poent of Edgar Guest’s will express the farewell wish of the Class of 1928: Vd hike to be the sort of friend that vou have been to nie; Vd tke to be the help that vou've been always glad to he; Vd like to mean as much to vou cach minute of the dity s you have meant, old friend of mine, to me along the way, Md like to do the big things and the splendid things for you, To brush the gray from out your skies and leave thenr only blue; Vd like to say the kindly things that Tso oft have heard; nd feel that Po could rouse your soul the way that mine you've stirred. Ud like to give you back the joy that vou have given me, And could T have one wish this vear, this only it would be: I'd like to be the sort of friend that vou have been to me. CLARENCE P.

Have you kept the resolu- tions about your school work that you made in September, or have you fallen far behind? Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors— “Tlow did day? With confidence clear, or dread? What to yourself did you stop and say you tackle your work each When a new task lay ahead? What was the thought that was in your mind? Was fear ever running through it? If so, (next year) just tackle the task you find By thinking you're going to do it.” Freshmen—Next year you will be over in the Main Building enjoying the priv- ileges and advantages of Sophomores. In return for these privileges the High School asks you to do your work faith- fully and well. You won't regret it when June 1929 comes, and good reports and cheerful teachers will reward you.

Guest’s poems “You can do as much as you think you can, y ; ’ But you'll never accomplish more; If you're afraid of yourself, young man, There’s little for you in store. For failure comes from the inside first, It’s there if we only knew it. And you can win, though you face the worst, If you feel that you're going to do it.” Arlene Cummings ’28 8 SOMANHIS EVENTS THE “WHY?” OF HIGH SCHOOL This is a time of mingled joy and sor- row. Graduation is an epochal stile in the pathway of life. For the Class of 1928 there will be no more high school life; many will continue to study, but they will never again the same difficulties and enjoyments which they had while in high school. Others will partake of the hardships and_tri- umphs of the vast army of those who earn their daily bread by their own lab- or, ‘There may be yet others who will wait patiently and uneventfully in their homes waiting for opportunity or even ambition to knock upon their doors, experience Every person in each of these classes has received something worth while in the four short years he spent within the familiar building formally known as South Manchester High School, and in- formally -called “‘S; M. H. S.” Let. us sincerely trust there is not one who has profited as little as the poet Omar who said, “Myself when young did eagerly fre- quent Doctor and Saint, and heard great argu- ment About it and about; but evermore Came out by the same door where in 1 went.” Education to him meant but a hope- less, intangible vision—something one could never grasp or comprehend. We now have no excuse for such a woeful tale. Modern textbooks are written in a thoroughly understandable manner; they do not speak in riddles, as did the ancient sages, and expect youth to derive profitable knowledge therefrom. If a modern student fails to grasp the idea presented in a course, it means lack of concentration on his part, not unintel- ligibility in the speech of his teacher, or an . perplexing paragraphs in his books. Enough of that; it is not alone in the sciences that we are educated in high schools today; there is something else equally important; the cultivation of a sense of proper behaviorism towards our fellow humans. Of what earthly use would scholarly attainment prove to us if we had no knowledge of how to use that philosophy in connection with the practical living? In a_ public high school one meets people of one’s own age from many nations, of many creeds, of many customs and traditions. We learn there to respect the varied ideas of different lands and to tolerate them as a true citizen of the United States should do. Thus are we taught the first step in democracy. a land of many lands. We must be tol- erant, for what one of us can afford to despise his fellow-American ? side of America is A further value is found in athletics, whose activities promote healthy bodies and healthy minds. The sense of com- radeship you feel towards your neighbor- ing companions when cheering for the home team’s victory gives you just a wee thrill of hearty satisfaction. That is another high school achievement— the sense of brotherhood, which is also a step in democracy. In those long years which lay before you, Classmates, keep these other things that S. M. H. S. has taught you close to your hearts, along with the hard facts of history and science and language, for they are equal in importance to any one cf these.

During this time we have learned to respect and cherish the wonderful opportunity which has been ours—the opportunity of be- ing a member of this school. It has been not only our privilege, but our pleasure to be able to join the different teams, clubs, and organizations of the school. During these four years we have seen a rapid improvement in all school activ- ities. We have seen our athletic teams —football, baseball, basketball, track, swimming and tennis—improve year by year until now we are able to look upon any of our teams with real pride and say, truthfully, that they equal the best teams of any other high school in the state. Our various clubs—the glee clubs, the debating club, the dramatic club, and our various language and literature clubs are truly to be regarded with pride and sat- isfaction. Other organizations, too, such as the band and the orchestra; are espec- ially a credit to the school and to those connected with them. Then there is our school paper “Somanhis Events,” a pub- lication of which we should be most proud, Best of all, perhaps, we have seen during the passing of each year a decid- ed increase in the Honor Roll. So we, the class of 1928, look back with no regrets upon our share in the successful achievements of S. M. H. S. We have filled to the best of our abilities the niche in school life left open for us, We have taken up the S. M. H. S. Ban- ner, and carried it on as far toward the goal of achievement as we could. Now we shall leave it for you to carry on fur- ther toward this goal. Freshmen: Our short = year of acquaintance with you has shown us that you have the right spirit. You have done excep tionally well in school activities. Your splendid scholastic re- cord surpasses any made by previous classes. You have organized new clubs and supported all sports. Carry on and you will surely make a success of your high school opportunities. Sophomores: We know that you have the makings of creditable upperclass- men. Your fine spirit has been shown by your accomplishments in all fields. Next year the honor of being called “upperclassmen” will be bestowed upon you. Continue as you have in the past, and you will have no fear of abusing this honor. Juniors: Next year you will became dignified and sagacious seniors. The school activities will be yours. The suc- cess of our teams, clubs, and organiza- tions will depend upon you, Support your school paper to the best of your abilities, and place it high in the ranks of high school papers. When you take up the reigns where the class of “28” leaves off, take them with vim and purpose, and put your heart and soul into the accomplishments of next year’s work, especially in the field of scholastic achievement. Develop a higher standard of scholarship than any class has ever set, for the scholastic ranking of our school next vear depends largely upon your class. Seniors: Today we are seniors in the halls of South Manchester High School, After our graduation we shall become freshmen in the school of life. Our paths will diverge. Some will take one road; some will take another of the numerous roads of life. But, no matter which road you take, always keep fresh in your mind the memories of the happy days of your high school experience. These memories will spur you on to do bigger and better things in whatever field you may choose. Friendly ties, which have been cultivated during the past four years may be broken, and new ones will be made, but always keep up the fine spirit which has carried the class of 1928 to scholastic success, so that when we become seniors in the school of life, we will be at the top of the ladder, 30 SOMANHIS EVENTS JUNIOR RESPONSE Mr. President, Seniors, undergrad- uates and friends: A year ago the Class of 1928 accepted this trewel with the responsibilities of seniors. You made promises to carry on the activities of the school and these promises you have executed to a not- With your graduation, the under-classes lose a great friend and leader. Some of you have attained high scholastic honors in this school, others have won note-worthy places in inter- scholastic business contests, and many of your boys have led our teams to vic- tory in athletic contests. It has been your class athletes that have given Man- chester High School her state wide rep- utation this year. The success of the dramatic club, debating team, and So- manhis Events has been due, in a large way, to the efforts of the Seniors. able degree. Another year has passed since you be- came seniors, and it now becomes our turn to accept this trowel. This we do with pleasure, keeping ever in mind the record you have set in all school activ- ities. We will do our best to be indus- trious upper-classmen, worthy to be call- ed Seniors. We hope that we shall have a large honor roll and that our athletes will lead our teams to victory as yours have. If we can do what the Class of 1928 has done, we will accomplish some- thing of which we may really be proud. Mr. President, and members of the Class of 1928, in behalf of the Jun- ior Class, I bring to you our most hearty grectings. It is our hope that each of you will be successful in life and we trust that on your way to the top you will have few impediments and disap- pointments. Though your future will be much harder than your past, let that not discourage you, but let its difficulties be inspirations to: do your individual tasks well. Again we thank you for the inspiring example you have set before us and again we promise to do our best in car- rying on the responsibilities of Seniors. SALUTATORY We, tle class of 1928 extend a hearty welcome to you—superintendent and members of the school board, who are the executives of this fine school tem; principal and faculty, who have prepared us for our life’s work; parents, who have sacrificed continuously for our education; friends and relatives, who have been our well wishers during the past four years; and schoolmates, who have helped make our high school life a pleasant one. We are glad to have you here tonight to enjoy, we hope, the last ceremony in which we as Seniors may participate, and to witness the gradua- tion of the first class from Manchester High School. A high school is one of the most im- portant institutions of which a town can boast. This fact was realized about thirty-five years ago by three far sight- ed people and resulted in the establish- ment of the South Manchester High School. Those to whom we are indebt- ed for this wonderful institution are Mr. Charles S. Cheney, who served thirty- five years as a committeeman of the Ninth School District; Dr. O. B. Taylor, for nearly forty years Secretary of the School Board; and Mr. leroy Collins, for Sys- several years principal of the Ninth School District. The first high school consisted of three rooms in the old building that was also used for a grammar school. Mr. Verplanck, besides his duties as princi- pal, was one of the three teachers that made up the faculty. Before the first year had ended, Mr. Peterson was added to the teaching staff. He later served as principal for seven years, and was in- strumental in preparing many boys and girls for college. Fifty-five pupils were enrolled in the High School during the first year of its existence. In June, 1894, the first class, consisting of six pupils, five girls and a boy graduated from the High School. The boy was Reuben Gray and his resi- dence was where this building -now stands. During the next few years there was a rapid increase of pupils, necessitating a proportional increase of teachers. As a result of the increase of SOMANHIS EVENTS 31 students, this fine High School building was erected. In the fall of 1904, the students began work in this building, using only four rooms on the second floor. At this time part of the building was used for a grammar schooi, but the whole building has been gradually tak- en over for the High School classes. In 1925, we spread out still further, taking over the Franklin Building for the fresh- man class with a special freshman fac- ulty. There were but two courses of study in the first curriculum: a college pre- paratory and a general course. In 1912, a commercial course consisting of sten- ography and typewriting was introduced and limited to juniors and seniors. The following year bookkeeping was added for the sophomores. In 1916, a co- operative high school trade school course was introduced and was primarily for those who wished to become efficient in some trade, such as carpentry, drafting, or study of silk. This course leads to a high school diploma, with a trade schooi diploma on the completion of 4 800 hours of shop work. In 1925, there was an- other addition to the curriculum, that of community civics. At the present time the course of studies contains all the sub- jects necessary to prepare for college, normal school, or business life. The graduates of this High School have been very successful in life. There have been, and are, successful business men, lawyers, doctors, college professors, teachers, ministers, and __ politicians among our alumni. We can boast of graduates from every prominent eastern college, and many of these graduates have obtained the highest possible hon- ors at the various colleges. A fact worth noting is the exceptionally high number of our almuni that have attended a nor- mal school and become teachers. We can further boast that many of our grad- uates took part in the World War, in which five made the supreme sacrifice. Most of the graduates of this school attribute their success to a great extent to the wonderful building in which they have studied, and the fine materials with which they have worked. The High School building was built, owned, and maintained by Cheney Brothers until the spring of 1928, when the property was purchased by the town and the name changed to Manchester High School. From the time the building was erect- ed until now, it has been in constant use. It has been used for years as an evening school. When the grammar school burn- ed, the building was used both as a grammar and a high school. ‘There was a session for grammar students in the morning, and one for high school stu- dents in the afternoon. It has been used for town meetings, entertainments, con- certs, lectures, dances and other func- tions of town interest. From these illus- trations you can readily see how import- ant and indispensable the high school has been to the community. Now the high school building and the institution therein belong to you, towns- people. Are you going to carry on the good work accomplished by Cheney Bro- thers the during last twenty-five years? I hope so! I have tried to show you what an important part a high school plays in the affairs of the community, and [I am certain that, if in the future every person has the interests of the school at heart, it is bound to progress as it has in the past. Ludwig Hansen ’28 VALEDICTORY With these exercises the members of the Class of ’28 bring to a close their active part in the work of Manchester High Hehool. Through the four years which we have spent here, we have come to realize the opportunities which it of- fers—opportunities which we cannot now fully appreciate. These have been four crowded happy years—years_ of work and play; years of sociability and comradship; years of loyalty and good sportsmanship. Many of the members of ’28 have been outstanding in extra- curriculum activities; all of us have giv- en some proof of our love and loyalty to Manchester High School. Now the time has come when we must turn over our power of leadership to oth- ers and go into the world to learn in the 32 SOMANHIS EVENTS school of experience. Wherever we go, we shall all carry with us the ideals which we have learned here, and we _ shall cherish as our dearest memory these years in S. M. H. S. When we part, let us not say “Goodbye”, but rather let us say as the French people do, “Adieu’— “God be with you till we meet again.” Schoolmates: We are now giving in- to your charge our duties and respon- sibilities. May cach and everyone of you accept them gravely, realizing the extent to which you are now responsible for the future of Manchester High School. 1928 will always expect that you will keep the standard high, and that you will carry on in the future as we have carried on in the past. Classmates: Soon we shall no longer be members of a unit, but each will be out in the world to work for himself. Let us carry with us the thought which Doane expresses in his poem “Life's Sculpture”: “Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy With his marble block before him, And his eyes lit up with a smile of joy, As an angel dream passed o’er him, Ile carved the dream on that shapeless stone, With many a sharp incision ; With heaven’s own light the sculpture shone,— He'd caught that angel-vision. Children of life are we as we stand With our lives uncarved before us Waiting the hour when, at God’s com- mand, Our life’s dream shall pass o’er us. If we carve it then on the yielding stone, With many a sharp incision, Its heavenly beauty shall be our own,— Our lives, that angel vision.” Emma Elizabeth Strickland ’28, THE VAL UE OF EXTRA-CURRI- CULAR ACTIVITIES Within the past few decades certain changes have taken place in America which have greatly affected the individ- ual. Better citizenship has been demand- ed; a new economic order has come into being; and people have come to enjoy more leisure. With these changes have come new problems, and it has been the task of secondary school to reorganize to mect these demands for their young people. In 1916 a commission, appointed by the National Education Association, drew up a report in which they set forth seven cardinal principles of secondary education as follows: 1. Health. 2. Command of funda- mental processes. 3. Worthy home membership. 4. Vocation. 5. Citi- zenship. 6. Worthy use of leisure. 7. Ethical character. Before this time the secondary schools had fulfilled only one of these aims, com- mand of fundamental processes. Since these elements were not included in the academic program, the school authorities turned to other fields to supply the needs. This brought about extra-cur- ricular activities. The aim of teaching good health rules is, of course, met by athletics, the most outstanding of extra-curricular activities. The ideal of a physically fit body, to- gether with the realization of the neces- sity for coordination of mind and muscle, could be taught in no better way than by sports. In addition, sports teach the idea of “playing the game” — another name for ethical character. “There's a breathless hush in the close tonight— Ten to make and the match to win— A bumping pitch and a blinding light, An hour to play and the last man in. And its not for the sake of a ribboned coat, Or the selfish hope of a season’s fame, Sut his Captain’s hand on his shoulder smote-— “Play up, play up, and play the game!” SOMANHIS EVENTS 33 Sports also bring the ideals of fair- ness, good sportsmanship, and loyalty of which O, S. Davis writes: “It is casy to shout when the victory’s won, And to stand on the winning side. But L love the pluck of the boy cheers, For his losing team, and who never fears To back with a stubborn and loyal pride lis cause till the game is done.” who The next aim, that of worthy home membership, is more difficult to meet. The nearest approach is made by the Freshmen and Sophomore English Clubs which teach appreciation of the best lit- erature and authors, and by the musical organizations which increase our cap- acity for appreciation and enjoyment of a more artistic side of life. © These or- ganizations enlarge the circle of outside interests and result in) more beautiful homes with more joy therein, Civie education is an all important objective. This is, of course, partially met in civics classes, but the actual ap- plication of the principles learned in class-rooms comes through extra-curri- cular activities. Ability to serve on committees comes through work done in managing dramatic presentations or so- cial activities of the various clubs. Bu t the best citizen is the one who can vote and talk intelligently—teach others by the power of his eloquence. — It is here that debating finds its purpose. Train- ing in quick and logical thinking, train- ing in collecting material and evidence and evaluating it, training in ability to present facts clearly and concisely, and training in public speaking are most val- uable assets in cither the business, pro- fessional, or civic world. This training is secured only through debating. In developing ethical character, the honorary language clubs and social acti- vities of all organizations play a large part. It is through these that pupils learn to know each other better and to appreciate, and possibly imitate, the sterling qualities of others. The Hi-Y teaches character ideals to our boys—in fact that is its sole aim. Tere, too ath- leties bring in ideals of right and wrong, fairness and good sportsmanship. Lastly we come to worthy use of leis- ure. This is an important objective of all extra-curricular activities—to teach better uses of one’s own time. Sports, dramatics, debating, language — clubs, musical organizations—all endeavor to give cach one an interest to which he will devote his time and energy and so use them wisely. In thus using his leisure time, one is also enabled to increase and enrich his original talent. So, you see, vour High School in Man- chester has worked in the past, and will continue to work in the future, to en- large its program to meet the increasing needs and demands of young people and give them a real, all-around, education.

The club members held informal de- bates in assemblies with the rival debat- ing teams of Meriden, Bristol and Mid- dletown, This was a new method of stimulating school interest in debating. These debates were well received. The first debate was held with Meriden at Manchester, December 15. Manchester upheld the negative of the question “Re- solved: the emphasis placed on inter-col- legiate athletics is detrimental to our colleges and universities.” | Manchester was represented by Joseph McCluskey and Marian I[lills.

Caroline Prete and Carl Cubberly upheld the affirmative of the question “Resolved that the United States should admit the Japanese on a quota basis” in debate with Bristol.

Its purpose is “to create, maintain, and extend throughout the school and community high standards of Christian character.” The club was for- tunate in having a group that was ready and willing to cooperate in all things. This fact, plus the fact that the leader- ship was excellently handled by Mr. Pillsbury, our leader, and the present officers, has made this club year a suc- cessful one. The club is non-sectarian and member- ship is limited to the three upper classes of the high school. Through the cour- tesy of the church committee of the Cen- ter Congregational Church the meetings are held regularly every other week on ‘Tuesday evenings in the Center Congre- gational Church. The meetings are conducted in a very orderly manner, At each mecting there is cither an outside speaker or a discussion among the boys themselves. The those pertaining to moral and civic wel- fare affecting boys of high school age. topics discussed are The local 1li-Y Club is under the di- rect supervision of the Hartford County Y. M. C.

The swimming team won the Hartford county meet, and then the represented county in the state swimming meet. Our track team was also very successful in the state track meet held May 12th at the West Side Ree. The biggest aim of the Hi-Y Club is to promote the qualities of good leader- ship and to bring about among the mem- bers themselves the kind of thinking and acting that is good and straightforward. In carrying out this aim the club brings to each member a sense of fair play, of cooperation, and of Christian thinking that is invaluable.

Slickers, coats, and baggage being duly disposed of, the class as a whole and individually, like a butterfly emerging from its co- coon remained rather sleepily quiet for a short time, taking were on cognizance of its neighbors. Then, warming up, it became slightly more lively, and finally launch- ed itself into action. Suffice it to say that thereafter the trip was nothing if not merry. Mr. Quimby’s much vaunted chicken dinner served when we were all nearly famished. Very early breakfasts are highly conducive to hearty appetites. The late, and it was still drizzling when we reached An- Was train) was napolis, so that our visit there was short- ened. Apart from the college itself we found the town with its quaint, clean and very interesting. later reached Washington, rather tired, very dirty, and extremely hungry. The spirit was willing, but the flesh was weak! So, after an excellent supper served at nine o'clock, we hurried off to the Martha Washington candy shop where we were royally entertained by the owner, Mr, Sheets, a hospitable old Southern gentleman. houses we streets llours We were fur- ther refreshed by delicious candies press- ed upon us by Mr. Sheet’s employees. We viewed ourselves in at least fifty mir- rors, Wished in the wishing chair, and listened to the tinkling of many and diverse music boxes. The next day we attended church, Mount Saint Sepulchre or the Tresi- dent’s church, as desired. President Coviidge took this occasion to absent himself from church. We also visited the Smithsonian Institute, and in the evening, the Congressional Library. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday were full to the brim with interesting events. We climbed the dome of the Capitol and the Washington monument. Concerning the latter, Underclassmen, may I advise you to go slowly! We went to Arlington Cemetery with its rows on rows of white headstones and its impressive amphitheatre. Afterwards many of us sought the aviation field by way of a little spiritual elevation. We gained entrance to the White House and felt a little better acquainted with the President, I think, and we stood impres- sed by the strong, white memorial to Lincoln, so like him in all that it repre- sents. On Wednesday afternoon we traveled by boat up the Potomac to Mount Ver- non. It must be seen to be appreciated. The day was ideal and we certainly en- joyed ourselves. On left Washington early in the morning and arrived in Phil- adelphia about ten o’clock. We visited the interest in that city, including Independance Hall where the famous Liberty Bell hangs. Thursday we various scenes. of Upon our return) home Thursday night, we were surprised to see that our familiar Manchester had size. diminished in Though sorry to end our eventful trip, we were perhaps glad to see the old again. So we proceeded ward with our respective rejoicing par- ents, and slept for the next two days. On Monday morning we came back to town home- school looking much as usual, no doubt, but far, oh, far more sophisticated. And thus endeth the story. 42 SOMANHIS EVENTS ORCHESTRA SOMANHIS EVENTS 43 ORCHESTRA The orchestra is four years old and has grown from a membership of 15 in 1924- 25 to a total enrollment of 43 in 1927-28.

In the winter of 1926-27 a good beginning was made and the band played at our basketball games, concluding the season with a memorable trip to the Yale Tournament at New Haven. This year a new impetus was given the organization by the promise of some sort of uniforms. During the fall the band played at the football games and all home basketball contests. On May 30 the boys made their first appear- ance before the public. | Clad in bright red caps, lined with lustrous white satin and bearing a red M on either shoulder, with white trousers, and red and white caps, they made their impressive debut in the Memorial Day parade. They are now booked for several pub- lic engagements and the school looks for- ward to having a uniformed organiza- tion for all of our special occasions next vear, A permanent organization was affect- ed at a special meeting held in June with the following officers elected: Presid@nt. sds 2-0 tise coces ete Warren Case Vice-President .................- Reginald West DOCRELALY) seasseeeercsnce caste Jacob Rubinow Treasurer ...

League Contest on Friday, April 13th, that lucky day when the boys added another silver cup to the collection in Mr. Quimby’s office. “The Man Without a Country” was important because it was the most diffi- cult composition which the combined clubs have attempted, and it also gave them an opportunity to be seated on the stage like a well organized choral so- ciety. They were assisted by Miss Olive Nyman, soprano, who sang the solo parts of the cantata in a very pleasing manner. Each club has sung several times in Assembly. The boys’ club appeared in the Carnival, and both clubs will provide the music for Commencement, but the greater part of the year was_ spent in preparation for the annual contest, which was of especial interest because it was to be held at our school. The cup which the boys won two years ago at Windsor is our permanent possession, but when the League be- came responsible for the contests a year ago Watkins Brothers presented two new cups which must be won _ three times. East Hartford and Manchester boys, Meriden and Bristol girls have now had the cu ps once each. Middletown was the only school not represented this year, The required song for boys was, “The Song of the Western Men”, Protheroe; the girls’ song, “A Dream Boat Passes By,” Lemare. Much credit should be giv- en to the boys for their chosen song “Morning,” Speaks-Baldwin, because it had been considered almost too difficult for a contest song. We must not forget to say a word of appreciation for our efficient accompan- ist, Thelma Carr. Membership Boys Tenors—H. Wilson, TH. Juul, EF. Tfun- ter, C. Spears, W. Snow, R. Johnson, R. Smith, M.

The Washington Group _ pictures have been purchased by many of the Seniors. Several sets of amusing snap- shots have been passed about among the students by their owners. Those who went to Washington have certainly had pleasant ways of recalling their exciting trip. Miss Imma. Strickland and Ludwig Ilansen were chosen for the two highest honors in the Senior Class. Miss Strick land is valedictorian and Ludwig Ilansen is salutatorian. These two students are certainly deserving of much praise for their fine record during their four vear course in High School.

THE QUILL CLUB A sophomore English organization, namely The Quill Club, open to all Eng- lish students with an average of B or over, has been very successfully func- tioning during the school year, under the supervision of Miss Estes and Miss Franzene. Meetings, carefully varied to please the social tastes as well as to pro- mote a better appreciation of English, have been enjoyed monthly under the leadership of the following officers: First half: President, J. Simon; Vice-President, O. Martina; Secretary, Cubberly ; Treas- urer, L.. Johnson. Second half, presi- dent, J. Simon; Vice-President, R. John- son; Secretary, Edna England; Treas- urer, Harry Howland. Programs for the monthly gathering included plays, readings, and games. At the March meetings two plays, written, coached, and 62 SOMANHIS EVENTS performed entirely by members of the Quill Club were presented. A class in palmistry was formed, which proved most financially worth while at the annual school carnival. — In addition to this several club members presented a one-act play in the Assembly hall on the same night. LE CERCLE FRANCAIS Le Cercle Francais, the French Club of the high school, has for its purpose, primarily, to promote the use of French outside the classroom. Any student who is taking third year French and receives a passing mark, is eligible to join. Any second year French student who receives a mark of B. and any first year French student w ho re- ceives a mark of A, is also eligible for membership. The meetings are held every two weeks, under the direction of the presi- dent or vice-president, as the case may be. After the business meeting, there is a social hour, under the direction of the social committee. The French Club has had two success- ful seasons. Every student that joins it will be assured of a good time, as well as a beneficial one.

These students were: Esther Wells ’27, Stella Lincoln 725, Grace Hasset ’25, and Florence Anderson 25. Miss and Miss Anderson received certificates from the Art School Lincoln at the closing exercises on Friday, May twenty-fifth, A unique method of advertising was employed for the Sock and Buskin play, “Clarence”,-—Figures, about two feet high, were cut from cardboard and painted to delineate the twelve charac- ters of the play. Through the kindness of the J. W. Hale Co., they were shown in their annex window. Miss Condon attended the meeting of the Connecticut Art’s Association at Old Lyme, Conn. on Saturday, May 19th. The trip included a luncheon, business meeting, and visits to the studios of Carvin Wiggin, Guy Wiggin, Edward Volkhert, Mr. Irving and Mr. Bucknell. The old Griswold House was also in- spected, where the walls and paneling in the dining room have been decorated by the artists boarding there at various times. Notes On account of a mistake in the space allotted for S, M. H. S. at the Eastern Art’s I:xhibition in April only one half of the art work intended for the exhibi- tion was shown. In order that the school and public might see this work Miss Condon hung the drawings in the studio the last of May. The first week of June there was an exhibition of Artext Prints in the base- ment of the Franklin building. This ex- hibit, which included color reproductions of great masterpieces, was hung by Mr. Waldemar C. Hirschfield, the Connecti- cut agent for Artext Prints. The prints are photographed in color directly from paintings of old masters of all parts. of the world. Artext Prints are made in Westport, Conn. A “double quartet” of nine boys has sung on several occasions in school, and also at Cheney Hall on Memorial Day. The members are: Hewitt Wilson, Kenneth Graham, Walter Snow, first tenors; Ludwig Hansen, William John- son, second tenors; Victor Swanson, John Johnston, first bass; Ben Radding, Warren Case, second bass, The Freshman Class for the first time has had separate glee clubs which have sung several times at Freshman Assem- blies. SOMANHIS EVEN-DPS 65 Now that we have come to the end of another school term, “Somanhis Events” wishes to thank all the other schools who have exchanged issues with us during the vear. You all know that the first purpose of an exchange department is for the improvement and betterment of our own periodical. But the second pur- pose is to form a_ relationship among other schools, and reading other papers other than our own serves to broaden our ideas of other schools just like a football or baseball contest. “Somanhis Events” acknowledges re- ceipt of the following papers this year, and hopes to welcome them again next year: “The Senior”, Westerly, R.

The answer is easy and short—it should be the best place.on earth—for husband, wife, sons and daughters. . ‘If you have not an unusually warm spot in your heart for home, something is wrong. That spot can be g warmed unbelieveably if your home is made into one from which your heart can draw warmth. Sounds funny for a furniture ad. perhaps, but none the less it is practical and true. If you would look over our stocks you would undoubtedly come across articles and pieces which you would immediately understand were things that would make your home more of a placé which you could not forget. A place of comfort, a place you look forward to getting to—that should be home. If you will think of it in this way you will undoubtedly make your home a happier, broader place, and then while your thoughts and your heart are at home, your home will, be in your heart, There is much more sentiment connected with furniture when it is spoken of in terms of HOME furnishings than you imagine.
