1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 CLJSS MOTTO Trj) CLASS COLORS SILVER AND ROSE If I were an artist, I’d try, Sir, The beauty in life to disclose; Td try to interpret earth’s secrets With colors of silver and rose. The reason I’ve chosen these colors And not those of some other hue. Is because they belong to the Seniors, Marlborough High “27”—so true. The rose stands to me for the sunshine That helps to make all burdens light; And silver I’d use for the star-shine That peek-a-boos through the dark night. Then, too. I’d take silver for raindrops, The coin used by old Alother Earth, And rose for the sweet apple blossoms— The sign of God’s spring, and new birth. Oh, rose and bright silver are fairest Of all of the ' olors we meet,— The one is the glory of sunrise, The other makes twilight complete. The poet has likened God’s mercy To dew in the grass,—silver dew; And rose is for truth that stands with it To guide us in all that we do. Oh how we shall try with our might. Sir, To make our lives silver and rose;— Be kindly to all—that’s for silver. Spread sunshine, love truth—that’s for rose. Audrey E. Cann 18

1927 THE YEAR BOOK 1927 Jeremiah Joseph Dolan “Jerry” Class President “A good name is rather to be chosen than riches.” When we organized our class in the Sopliomore Year, we chose Jerry as our Class President and he has served us well in that capacity for three years. Jerry made his first appearance as an actor in our Senior play ‘‘Adam and Eva”, taking the part of Dr. Delamater and he made a decided hit with the audience. He handled his clinical thermometer in a most professional manner and the way he tested John R’s reflexes was most amazing. How¬ ever he turned out to be a common fortune-hunter after all! In athletics, too, Jerry has played a leading part. He made some pretty catches in his position in left field, and he has also shown his grit in football. The school will miss him in more ways than one. Alice Evelyn Gaucher “Gooch” Class Vice President “She’s all my fancy painted her.” Can you tell us why A1 is so popular? We could tell you, but the reasons are so many we should never finish. As “Eva” in our Senior Play she made every heart in the audience flutter as well as Lord Andrew’s. We wonder if she is always as bashful as she appeared just before the curtain went down in the last act. Yes? Her business ability has made itself felt in the increase in attendance at the Marlborough Theatre since she took the ticket seller’s seat. Dashing down Rawlins Avenue to be at w ' ork on time is one of Gooch’s hobbies. Does anybody know the vacation dates at St. Anselm’s? Bye now, All Josephine Ruth Minehan “Joe” Class Secretary “Good humor and. generosity carry the day.” Sweet shades of recognized merit! Gertrude Ederle may think she’s “in the swim” but she takes her seat in a distinctly rear position when Joe Minehan appears. Joe has not been found wanting in popularity or ability as far as the class of ’27 is con¬ cerned. She has nobly recorded our class activities for three years and we, feel proud to admit that she never blundered. Josephine has ■ won a high place in the hearts of our girls, and boys. You don’t limit yourself to “our boys” either, do you Joe? With her many attributes and her few failings, Josephine certainly has proved a factor in our progress. May still more success attend her activities elsewhere. 20
