Biecl September 1, 1935 Died September 21, 1935 1936 Class Poem THE AWAKENING OF THE SOUL” Slowly the pink of the eastern sky deepens to rosy line, And the last dim morning star is drowned in a sea of endless blue. Then, as the warm, soft rays of the sun are cast on the sleeping land, Mother Nature awakes to paint the earth with her skilled artistic hand. Fleecy white clouds, like tiny ships, sail over the sky of blue, And the perfumed breezes carry the scent of the rose and the lilac, too. All the world is bathed in the lovely glow of the rosy, summer morn; No feeling other than serene content pervades the magic dawn. The beauty one sees in nature can be found in the human heart, For unselfish thoughts and happiness are never found apart. And though the sky is dark and drear, and the world a gloomy place, One can carry one’s joy along with one to light up a downcast face. Life begins with thoughts of peace, of beauty, and of love, And life contains no purer heart than the white clouds up above. The summer morn suggests the souls of unselfish humans well, The folks who make this grand old world a better place to dwell. Jennie Keller ’36 SCENE: “SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPATE “Seven Keys to Baldpate” As the curtain rose on the annual production of the Senior Class, a flood of mingled emotions swept through the audience; partly curiosity and wonder about the performance of some of the players who were appearing for the first time in a major presentation; partly, a thrill of suspense and subdued excitement as to the unfolding of the melo¬ dramatic farce about to begin. Since the play itself was comparatively unknown to the spectators, much interest was centered in the breathtak¬ ing development of the plot. The office of an abandoned summer hotel in mid-winter provides the setting for the drama. The theme is woven about seven keys to this lonely hostel, each of which is supposedly the only one of its kind in existence. However, the possessors of these keys are introduced, each at a strategic point, to further the rise of the action. To this retreat, as the most desolate spot available, has come the leading character, William Hallowell Magee, on a wager to write a novel in twenty-fours hours. John Winning admirably played the part of this alert young man, ready for any emergency and undaunted by any mishap. The first intruder upon his solitude is John Bland, agent of the president of a large transportation company in a secret transaction with the mayor of the nearby town. A notable presentation of this sleek and attractive, yet crafty, character was given by Charles How¬ land. Close upon the heels of his flight there arrives Myra Thornhill, a blackmailer conspiring to secure for herself the two hundred thousand dollars involved. Miss Ruth Griffin’s lively and appealing portrayal of this criminal, at first artfully deceitful and later fatally frank in her revelation of Lou Max as her fellow-conspirator, ranked among the evening’s best. Thomas Hayden, the executive who is paying the bribe, was repre¬ sented by Clark Perry. In dignity, he offered the gentleman of higher society, now distressingly perturbed by the disclosure of his scarcely commendable scheme, now outraged at his forcible detention. Peters, the well-meaning, corpse-moving hermit with his unkempt appearance, glaring eyes, and hideous chuckle, was a surprising and complete transformation from the debonair Robert Whittemore. Threatening his opponents with dire and unfortunate demises, though acting with energetic treachery when the occasion arose, Mayor Cargan, the negotiator with Hayden, was convincingly characterized by Sewell Richardson. The murder of Myra Thornhill by his cowardly ex-convict accomplice, Lou Max, was in true life perpetrated by Roy Carpenter. M.H.S.

The part of Mary Norton, a newspaper reporter, was dramatized with a sympathetic but sparkling air by Miss Valerie Armstrong; her meek, easily frightened companion, Mrs. Rhodes, by Miss Arlene Ackerlmrg. Ralph Sherry sneered his way through the appropriate role of Jiggs Kennedy, the unimaginative police chief who was assisted by two officers, Douglas Bishop and Joseph Strech. Elijah and “Mother” Quimby, the country-folk, caretakers of the inn during the winter season, were exceptionally and realistically typified by Peter Jacobs and Mildred Bagley. Finally, as the owner of Baldpate, Joseph Fur- bush burst in, only to reveal the entire episode a farce staged to show writer Magee the unreality of his novels. When, in years to come, the Seniors review their cherished high school memories, “Seven Keys to Baldpate” will be sure to stand out as a dramatization not only packed with vigor, excitement, and hilarity, but also enlivened by sincere characterization.

Class Day Class Day was a festive event both for the graduating class and for those honored juniors who had been selected to assist in the ex¬ ercises. Two marshals and one usher were chosen from each junior homeroom to attend the Senior Class at this affair as well as at the Reception and at Graduation. The marshals, in their long pastel frocks, carrying bouquets of white spring flowers, preceded the Senior Class into the Auditorium where they stood in formation while the class was seated. Every one was looking his best; the speakers, the graduating class, and the proud parents who were seated in the balcony. The platform was attractively decorated with spring flowers and made ,i picturesque background for the speakers. On the conclusion of the indoor exercises, the marshals ushered the class to the front steps of the school where the Ivy Oration and the Class Will were read and cheers for the incoming Senior Class were given.

Winning 1936 Class Oration LIVE IN THE PRESENT Into the cathedral of a small Italian town wanders a youth deep in reverie. In the midst of his thought he gazes up at the lamps hanging by long chains from the high ceiling of the church. Then something very difficult to explain occurs. He finds himself no longer thinking of the building, the worshippers, or the services. As he watches the swinging lamps, he suddenly wonders if, perhaps, their swinging motions—whether long or short—do not occupy the same time. By counting his pulse he proves his assumption. This ob¬ servation is sufficient to produce a really creative thought. The lad is Galileo. The highly accurate pendulum clock was a later result of this passing observation. Let us regard another scene—occurring during the Civil War. Long waves of blue clad riders form a cavalry assault up the steep sides of a Tennessee hill. Every man in the defending Confederate lines is tensely waiting for the superbly executed Union charge that will undoubtedly carry the crest of the hill. Every man but one! By a dugout entrance is a heavily bearded individual, in apparent bliss. His eyes drift dreamily over the remnants of a green wood¬ land nearby. His mind—far from the carnage—is composing verse. Amid the horrors of battle, thus did Sidney Lanier create many worthy poems. On these two occasions a person has made use of his powers of observation. His perception, coupled with the imaginative power that is within every human being, has produced, in the first case, a scientific achievement and, in the second, an artistic creation. This creative expression is a natural consequence of one’s daily experience. It is that which has raised man from his dull, subsavage ignorance to the degree of knowledge and comfort which he n ow possesses. Classmates, our three high school years are today revealed in each individual character; they are evidenced in the corporate life of the Class of 1936. The future fills our hearts with high expectation— we feel it already beginning. Idlers and students, popular or otherwise, we must go forth from this school standing upon the achievements we have made in the past three years. We must not wait for inspiration; we must go out to meet it! If we try, by some clever shift, to avoid the realization of this fact, we shall, in the end, receive nothing for our pains; but, if we contribute some creative idea to the community, to the nation, or even to the world, we shall be justly rewarded, by so doing, we shall live a full life. As we come into closer contact with fellow men, let us observe two distinct classes of people. One, lingering among the records of the past, conceives that the best has been already accomplished; the M.H.S. art of the past, the literature of the past, and the heroism of the past are his ideals. Let us use the beauties of bygone days as weapons with which to meet the future! The other is forever making preparations for the future—dream¬ ing of what shall be. He thinks that when lie is financially settled, when lie has achieved a coveted position, he will live and will reap the joys of his endeavors; but it generally happens that either he never arrives at the objective goal, or, if he reaches it, he has, through long idleness, lost the trick of living, and starves amid the plenty which his own toil has produced. Neither of these persons can live his life to its fullest; he merely exists. If lie can generously flavor his days with moments of crea¬ tiveness, his life will assume the proportions of a glorious adventure. Galileo found joyous expression in science; Lanier in poetry. Classmates, if ever the problems of life appear dreary and dull, we have not in this sense begun to live. Creative expression, no mat¬ ter how small, will enrich our existence. Thomas W. Sharkey Class Gift Remembering the difficulties many of the pupils, who sit either in the rear of the hall or in the balcony, have in hearing what is said on the stage, the Class Gift Committee decided to install an amplifying sys¬ tem in the school auditorium. This system will enable all pupils to hear what is going on. The presentation was made on Class Day by Martha E. Knowles, Chairman of the Class Gift Committee, to Head Master Ralph L. Ken¬ dall, who accepted the gift for the school. Other members of the committee were William E. Pollack, Betty Volpe, and George H. Lamont, Class President. 1936 M.H.S. 1936 VOCATIONAL SCHOOL FACULTY Vocational School «S=}oCS« It is the aim of the Vocational School to fit boys for useful em¬ ployment through the development of the occupational skill required for the performance of satisfactory work under actual employment conditions in the following trades: automobile, cabinet making, elec¬ tricity, machine shop, painting and decorating, printing, and sheet metal. One half of the time is devoted to actual shop work and the other half to related and academic work. The laboratory method of instruction which is used in the related classes is very closely cor¬ related with the shop work. This close tie-up assures a thorough training in shop and technical information. The school attempts to prepare the boy morally, intellectually, and physically for the vocation for which he seems to he best fitted by nature, ability, and opportunity; at the completion of his course the school places the student in the industry trained for, keeps in touch with his progress, and encourages his promotion. 19 3 6 IS) 3 6 • J I VOCATIONAL ADVISORY COUNCIL M.H.S.

M. H. S. Review «S)oO This has been an outstanding year of achievement for the “M. IT. S. Review,” due to the intensive work and willing cooperation of the students and teachers. The staff, which has consisted of all high school pupils who have contributed material accepted for the maga¬ zine, with the editorial board and advisers, have produced two literary issues of which we are proud. The Christmas number which was most enthusiastically received, contained not a few new ideas both in contents and cover design. The cover, in blue and white, with no outside border or printing, a thoroughly modernistic design repeating the pattern of a boy and a girl skating together met with distinct approval. The contents offered many splendid poems, illustrated articles, and a new feature—- Candid Camera Shots in and around the school. Intensive work on behalf of the staff has resulted in the ‘Tight and cheery” autographed May number. Eager eyes have greeted this volume, for the ' Seniors have been searching for their own names among scores of others which adorn the novel cover. Two articles on the trip to Washington—one to touch the serious, and the other the humorous reader—and a review of the new books in our library have been among the special features. An unusually worth while display of literary, poetic, and artistic talents has tilled each page with interest. Hearty cooperation between the English and the Art Depart¬ ments has been successfully carried out as the illustrations accompany¬ ing several of the articles prove. We have greatly appreciated the help of Miss Fairbanks and Miss Roughsedge of the Commercial Department. EDITORIAL BOARD Editor-in-Chief: Wylie Kirkpatrick ’36 Managing Editor: Frank R.

Jean Colgate The Senior Chamber of the Student Council is composed of presidents of all the recognized school clubs and the Senior Class Officers. It is the chief function of this body to act upon bills passed by the House, which, if sanctioned by the Cabinet, are placed before Mr. Kendall. However, this group may enact legislation of its own. On May 5, the Cabinet sponsored an assembly for the sophomores and juniors. The purpose was to bring more clearly to the members of these classes the aims of and the methods employed by our Student Council. This was done in speeches given by several members of the Council. This year Medford was represented at the two conventions of student governments in eastern Massachusetts,—namely those held at Brighton in February and at Beverly in April. A delegation of members of both houses of our Council, accompanied by teachers, at¬ tended them. In the Cabinet, the advisability of holding a conven¬ tion at Medford High school next year was discussed. Miss Rough- sedge was the adviser to this organization.

HOUSE OF DELEGATES M.H.S. The H ouse of Delegates President . Daniel Walker Vice-President . Charles Henderson Secretary . Mary Louise Welch The lower body of the Student Council, the House of Delegates, consists of elected representatives from every home room in the school. It is the duty of the members to introduce and discuss questions which have arisen in their respective home rooms, the outcome of which are to be reported back to their classes. Thus this group is representative of the student body. This year the efficiency of the House was greatly increased through the efforts of its advisers. Many worthy bills were brought up and passed, effecting changes throughout the school. Prominent among these were the creation of the Lost and Found Department in charge of the delegates, a bill aiding new substitute teachers to become accustomed to the necessary formalities, and a resolution ef¬ fecting school transportation in South Medford. The delegates also played an important part in the success of the “Blue and White” Handbook in the capacity of home room agents. The advisers to this organization were Miss Webber, Miss Flan- nagan, and Mr. Pidgeon.

The Club met on the first and third Tuesdays of each month. The G. A. A., during the football season, sold football badges to raise the necessary funds for its speakers as well as for its general maintenance. To those who desire to continue their schooling along athletic lines, the opportunity was given to witness movies of the work done in schools of physical education. The Girls’ Athletic Association has been of great benefit, not only to its members, but also to Medford High School. 1936 7 7 GIRLS’ CLUB M.H.S. Girls’ Club OFFICERS: President .

Bagley Miss Mildred C. Junkins The Girls’ Club, this year, through numerous social and philan¬ thropic activities, has successfully fulfilled its aim of bringing the girls of the school together into a “closer bond of friendship.” The organization began its social work last October with several gatherings, a hike and weenie roast, and later, a Hallowe’en party. At Christmas, the Club gave a party for twenty-five little boys and girls from the Washington School, with Mr. Phelan as a jovial Santa Claus. In February, a joint meeting of the Boys’ Club and the Girls’ Club took the form of a very enjoyable Valentine party. Later that month, after a snow storm, the two clubs joined in a sleigh-ride. During the year, the Club had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Ken¬ dall talk about “Ships;” Miss Baker speak on her trip to South America; Mrs. Coolidge on her trip to Norway, ' Sweden, and Fin¬ land; and Mr. Woodward—“Plays of Shakespeare.” Several times the Club has given donations for needy cases; the money for these worthy causes was raised by giving a food sale. In May, the mothers were special guests at an Induction and Installation Service, at which time the new officers were installed and twenty Sophomore girls became members. Although this meeting formally closed the club year, the Girls’ Club in conjunction with the Boys’ Club, ended the season socially by a much enjoyed outing, late in May. Through the successful work of the Club during the entire year, many girls are now “of greater service to their home, school, and community. ’ ’ 1936 1936 BOYS’ DEBATING CLUB M.H.S.

In the other two debates Medford competed with Revere and Cambridge Latin High Schools. The Mystic Men’s Club and the Medford Grange also invited the club to debate before them. 1936 DRAMATIC CLUB M.H.S. Dramatic Club Tlie pupils of tlie High School possessing acting and speaking ability found, in the Dramatic Club and its various activities, a suitable outlet for their talents. The Club consists of all students taking Public Speaking, and those Juniors and Seniors who by tryouts win parts in at least one play. Under the direction of Mr. Leslie R. Carey, who is the coach, dramatic students have presented, in addition to the Senior Class Play, “Seven Keys to Balclpate, ” several other plays. The first, “The Valiant,” had for a cast, Robert Whittemore, Billie Parks, Warren Ilaley, Marie Preble, Charles Howland, and Norman Jones. Another, “The Traitor,” included Donald Shedd, Harold Peabody, Christopher Hursh, Warren Griffin, Lincoln Ricker, Amerieo Cerulo, .John Harvey, and Howard Allen. The third, “Speaking to Father,” was presented oy i onaid. Shedd, Harold Peabody, Dorothy Walkley, Frank Pote, and Alma Winston. Various members who have taken Public Speaking have spoken in the English classes in commemoration of holidays throughout the year. These pupils were also required to take part in the Prize Speaking Contest preliminaries, thus having at least one opportunity to speak publicly. As is the custom every year, the outstanding Senior Public Speaking pupil delivered Longfellow’s “Paul Revere’s Ride” at the Medford Patriots’ Day celebration. Ruth r . Griffin was the student chosen this year for this event. The most extensive production of the Dramatic Club was the Medford High Centennial Pageant in which nearly one hundred stu¬ dents took part. It has been said that dramatic tendencies show ability, intelli¬ gence, and imagination. If this is so, we are the possessors of three very necessary requisites toward success. 19 3 6 M.H.S. PROTECTIVE DEPARTMENT M.H.S. M. H. S. Protective Department ° EDoG o The Protective Department is rightly considered one of the most worthwhile clubs in the school. This newly organized group has a definite corps of officers and aides with specific duties to perform. The chairman of the Department, Clement Conley, had under him four captains, Gerald Stiles, Arthur MacBay, Jack Cranlev, and Albert Porras. These Senior boys, in turn, were in charge of a group of Juniors called lieutenants. The duty of these two groups, who are known as “checkers,” was to see that capable aides were placed at seventeen strategic positions throughout the school. The members of the Department watch the coat-rooms, the en¬ trances, and direct those visitors unacquainted with the school to their destinations. In case of fire, these boys have special duties to perform, such as closing the corridor fire-doors and assisting in main¬ taining general efficiency and order. The members meet once every two weeks, under the direction of Mr. Osgood. The Department has for its motto.- “Make Medford High School a clean, neat, quiet, orderly school.” 1936 F 1936 BOYS’ CLUB M.ff.S. Boys’ Club OFFICERS: President . Joseph Daly Vice-President . James Griffen Secretary . Roger Hamilton Treasurer . Daniel Walker Tliis club is an organization bringing together boys active in school affairs. Its purpose is to develop friendships through a mu¬ tual enjoyment of instructive and pleasurable sociability. The club’s membership was increased to fifty this year by the addition of twenty-five junior and sophomore members. In the course of the year the club held a Christmas party, featured speakers at several meetings, and held joint social gatherings with the Girls’ Club. Mr. Bates and Mr. Phelan were the able advisers. 1936 E 1936 - J I CUM LAUDE CLUB M.H.S. Cum Laude Club President . Elmer AT Kenneally Vice-President . Charles Corliss ' Secretary . Fred Collins Treasurer . Joseph Stevens Adviser . Mr. Earl M. Woodward The Cum Laude Club, now in its second year, is an organization for boys who have attained the honor roll. The meetings of the club have featured many speakers: Dr. E. W. Barrett, school physician; Professor F. W. Pote of Tufts College; Mr. Harry Atwater of the Hood Rubber Company; and Mr. Cfuy Healey, a Boston attorney. Early in the school year the club successfully published the “Blue and White Handbook.” The editorial staff has also been busy working all spring in readiness to publish the handbook during the summer. This issue of the Handbook will be on sale when school opens in the fall. A trip to Provincetown in June ended the club’s activities for the season. 1936 1936 1 A CAPPELLA CHOIR AND BOYS’ GLEE CLUB M.H.S. A Cappella Choir and Boys ' Glee Club President . Ruth Fuglestad Vice-President . Eleanor Barwick Secretary . Florence Noyes Treasurer . Verna Myett Librarians . Verna Lake, Virginia Short The A Cappella Choir, whose membership consists of approx¬ imately fifty members, is conducted by Mr. Schoonmaker. The choir combined with the Boys’ Glee Club has enjoyed a very successful and full year, having done much in the way of special programs, such as the singing of carols for the school, for the Community Christmas Tree, for the Christmas Fair at the Unitarian Church, and also for the Christmas Carol program, a public presentation and gift to the city, which was held at the Roberts Junior High School. Among other activities for the year was the lending of voices to the Mystic Men’s Club and to the exercises at the Salem ' Street Burying Ground on Patriots’ Day. 1936 M.H.S, ' 936 GERMAN CLUB M.H.S. German Club OFFICERS: President . Helen P. Kelleher Vice-President . Natalie Irish Secretary-Treasurer. George W. Humber The German Club of Medford High School enjoyed its third year of existence under the direction of Miss Starr, who originally or¬ ganized the group. The club aims to further foreign language study and to interest its members in the art, literature, and music of the country whose language they are studying. The club is a unit of the Greater Boston League of German Clubs. Richard N. Carr and Natalie Irish were the representatives to the League, which is made up of delegates from Greater Boston high school German clubs. In December, the Club observed the Feast of Christmas. In March, the Medford High School was host to the Greater Boston League. At this meeting the singing of German folk-music was a feature. The May meeting took the form of a music and myth festival, at which prospective members were entertained. Willst du immer weiter sell weifen ? Seih das Gute liegt so nali.

Frederick Wakeham This year the Varsity “M” Club continued to further its pur¬ poses as an organization to promote better school spirit, to develop sportsmanlike conduct, and to further athletics at Medford High School. Among these activities was the annual spring dance held on April 18. The club also sponsored a Faculty-Varsity Basketball Game which was won by the Varsity Team with a score of 19 to 15. In June, the members will attend a banquet to be held in their honor. We Have Heard That - - - The Small Irish Ladd whom you saw in the Hall was the Manley Porter.

Marion Hawkins Vice-President . Violet Campbell Secretary . Florence Clark Treasurer . Theresa Forrest The Household Arts Club, under the direction of Miss Baker, is composed of girls taking home economic subjects. The prime ob¬ jective of the club is to increase and to foster friendship among the girls, whose outside activities are of a charitable nature. Each year the club raises money for the relief of the poor and needy; the organization also collects money and clothes for the Red Cross. The members are to he especially complimented on their work of the past year, during which they aided the Red Cross in one of the most terrible periods of Hood and disaster which the country has ever known. 1936 STAMP CLUB M.H.S. Stamp Club President. Malcolm Ferguson Vice-President Clark Streeter Secretary Treasurer Christopher Hursh Hazel Dobbs The Stamp Club, under the guidance of Miss Adams, has in¬ creased its membership by thirteen over the past year. The club has worked steadily to accomplish its original object which is to promote good fellowship and interest in world affairs in postage stamps. The club which was founded two years ago by the present exhibit director, George Serson, has proved very successful due to the excellent cooperation and perfect attendance of its members. Much interest and pleasure has been promoted in the club owing to many excellent speakers who have entertained the members throughout the past year: Mr. Bell, Mr. Lasky, Mr. Sangurnetti of the Boston Tran¬ script, Mr. Binmore of the New England Stamp Collectors, Miss Tucker of Filene’s, and Mr. Needham of the International Cover Com¬ mittee. The Club has enjoyed seven films on Around the World Trips and has taken part in five contests throughout the past year. The organization has also issued a Monthly Bulletin containing original articles and excerpts from magazines. M.H.S. 1936 SKI CLUB Ski Club M.H.S. President . Lawrence Peterson Secretary . Forrest Parker Treasurer . Cauffield Toomey The Ski Club was organized at the beginning of the winter. Tts main purpose was to further the already rapidly growing interest in skiing and to promote sportsmanship and good fellowship among the boys of Medford High School. Mr. Reid of the Vocational School is the sponsor and instructor of this group of skiing enthusiasts. The Club took part in the Mt. Hood Carnival in Melrose, several of the honors falling to our participants: Don Reid, first place in the four mile cross country race; Ralph Sherry, sixth place in the ski jump. For the first time the idea of holding a Winter Carnival in Medford was conceived and carried out. The Brooks Estate was the scene of Slalom races, ski jumps, cross-country races, sled and toboggan races. Again our boys, out of the many participating in the events, brought home the proverbial “bacon,” William Wier placing first in the ski jump. 1936 ORCHESTRA M.H.S. Orchestra and Band Much is to be said of tlie Orchestra and the Medford High School Band both of which have proved to be a great success during the past year. The orchestra, whose present membership is forty-five, played for the Anniversary of the Sinking of the Maine, held under the auspices of the United Veterans of Spanish Wars; for a luncheon conducted for the Schoolmasters’ Club—educators of Greater Bos¬ ton, at the University Club in Boston; at the Fashion Show given by the Medford Women’s Club; at the Senior Class Play; the Teachers’ Club Play; the Prize Speaking Contest; Class Day; and also, com¬ bined with the three Junior High School orchestras, for the first an¬ nual concert of the Public School Symphony Orchestra held at the Roberts Junior High School. For the past year, the Medford High School Band has played for all football and interscholastic hockey games, the annual Relay Race at the Boston Garden, Patriots’ Day Program, Memorial Day Parade, Class Day, Graduation, and the First Annual Music Festival at Tufts Gymnasium which was the most outstanding event of the year.

This occasion is almost the last meeting of the class of 1936 as undergraduates. Before considering the significance of the cere¬ mony, let us reminisce a bit. For three years at least, we have paced up and down the long corridors within these walls. Learned instructors have daily ex¬ pounded facts, some of which have penetrated. The five hundred lunches we have shared have made us rugged and ready for the future. Although we have shuddered at taking tests, we have nearly collapsed at the resulting marks. However, what are we leaving behind to re¬ mind future classes of us? In addition to the gift which you have just seen presented, we leave this budding sprig of ivy. The former will remain for many years to serve future classes. If our ivy grows un¬ molested, it will mingle with those of other years; it too, will then represent the past. Gifts that grow, it is said, are best; therefore, our ivy, because living, must be our best contribution to our school. Today, President Lamont, gilded shovel in hand, has planted this distinctive vine. His act carries the best wishes and full consent of all. In other words, we are happy that we are burying our scholastic past here. Can we, however, be joyous? Can we place in its grave those past efforts of ours? Some of us may be pleased, but those who are leaving behind a fine record will be sad at the parting. A classic ivy oration would state that some branches will climb high; others, not so high; still others will not climb. These truths would then be applied to the class. I mention them for those who have never heard of them. But to speak without jesting, classmates, what real meaning has this occasion? We have just transplanted a bit of ivy to new soil; our school, too, will soon send us forth to grow elsewhere. Even tomorrow, the ivy will begin to move upward. Its progress will be slow at first, though always certain. Having in mind the ivy’s growth, I shall sub¬ mit to you three principles of action as parallelisms for us. You will notice that the ivy does not grow in a single straight line; rather, it spreads wide, mingling with other vines. We should not consider our own views only, but should seek the opinions of others, that we may understand more fully their feelings. I might call to your attention that the ivy, if obstructed, will find another way. Its wide path affords interest and variety. Likewise, our paths should not lie in a single track. A wide network of th em will bring us new ideas which offer other ways of achieving our goal, should our main route be blocked. Lastly, the ivy does not lean for support on other vines. Mounting with them for a while, it is never loathe to branch out on its own. So we, in accepting the responsibilities of citizenship, must be prepared to blaze our own trail. Having carefully developed in ourselves the ca¬ pacity for individual thought and action, we must stick to our course. Before the ivy, stretches a bare wall; before us, a blank page. In time 1936 M.H.S. SENIOR PROM M.tf.S. the wall will become picturesque; and the page will, shall we say, be¬ come illuminated, as the manuscripts of old, with a record of pur¬ poseful living. You remember, classmates, that 1935 has boasted that it completed a parade of one hundred classes. Being last at something may, or may not, be worth writing home about. It all depends. AVe, nevertheless, claim to be a group unique! We are the first of the second century of classes at Medford High School! This privilege makes us the path¬ finders for the next one hundred years. Let ns set a pace that will keep the ninety-nine succeeding classes on their toes. Wylie C. Kirkpatrick ’36 Sen ior Prom Although the annual Senior Prom was held on one of the coldest nights of the entire winter, January 24, 1936, the event was one of the most successful of its kind ever conducted in the history of the school. More than two hundred couples, representing not only the student body but also the faculty and administrative officers of the school, were in attendance. It was generally considered that the Prom reached new heights of success, which all future classes will have to strive earnestly to surpass. Pitman Academy was attractively decorated with red and brown banners, and the soft light reflected from the draped shades cast a warm glow upon the hall. Among the features of the evening was the distribution of novelties. The young ladies were presented with vanities, engraved with the initial “M” and the class numerals on either side; the young men, in turn, were presented key cases with similar engrav¬ ings. The guests were welcomed by the patrons and patronesses who were Mr. and Mrs. Ralph L. Kendall; Mr. and Mrs. Eric Harrison; Miss Katherine L. Baker; Miss Williamina F. MacBrayne of the faculty. 1936 M.H.S. r 1936 SENIOR ADVISORY COUNCIL M.H.S. Cl ass History AVe, the class of 1936, entered the Medford High School with the usual confusion and bewilderment which is the heritage of all sopho¬ mores. The endless sea of unknown faces that streamed around us made us feel as if we were in some foreign land. Needing reassur¬ ance we searched eagerly for our former classmates, in order to ex¬ change experiences, and to speculate on the dispositions of our re¬ spective teachers. When we had settled these matters, we beagn to realize that our class of over 800 wanderers should be organized. The opportunity was early granted us, and, since we had previously learned the value of unity and cooperation, we took the class elections seriously. We were only slightly acquainted with one another, but there was a sufficient number of us who knew the energetic “Al” Sinclair to elect him president. Ruth Griffin began making history when she became vice-president; fun-loving Frances Littlefield was chosen secretary, and honest Charlie Henderson was entrusted with the meagre funds in our treasury. In the sophomore year one is usually carried away by enthusiasm engendered by athletics. Sports hold a high place in the hearts of sophomores. We showed promise of future athletic fame when several of our classmates gained places on the varsity squads. On the boys’ varsities were Walter Carew, “Freddy” Wakeham, and John Balsama. The imaginary laurel wreath we should like to pre¬ sent to “Eddie” Richardson, who held the rare distinction of being- chosen captain of the hockey team in his first year at high school. At this point our record of athletic prowess goes from the land to the sea, and we find that Helen Robinson swam her way to a position on the girls’ swimming team. Our ability was not confined to athletics, however, for the faculty reports showed our average scholarship to be above the usual rating. Due to the fact that the “Review” was not published, our potential literary geniuses lost a chance to display their talent in journalism. But talents differ, and some there are who know the joy of per¬ fect rhythm and the dance. To such , especially, the sophomore “Hop” was the great event of the year. They will recall Fred Bosworth, the orchestra leader, engineering the grand march with a masterly skill. It is said that Mr. Kendall, who was watching the spectacle with the eye of one who is accustomed to straighten out our difficul¬ ties, expressed his doubt as to Fred’s ability to untangle the march¬ ing- lines; but untangle them he did, and weave them into a perfect assembly and preliminary to the dance. There is not much more to be said of our sophomore year. “AVise fools” presumably we were, and not likely to feel much responsibility in the general scheme of things. But we learned the intricate thor¬ oughfares of this vast building; we discovered the one-way traffic F 1936 M.H.S. stairs, and sometimes we went the riglit way; we knew the fire alarm, and responded eagerly, even when the bell merely called for Mr. Cushing; we knew the luncli-room, and the certainty that we could always find some jam there; we knew the penalties for being tardy and the long, long trail from the front door to the farthest corners of Building C; and some of us knew the strain of a troubled conscience when a telephone message called us from the classroom to Mr. Leon¬ ard’s office. We came to realize that in this huge system each of us must do his assigned part, in order that the whole should move smoothly and successfully. We could no longer act independently or selfishly.— We were growing into juniors.—And so ended the year that began our history in Medford High School. In September, 1934, we returned, puffed up with the superb satisfaction of having something to look down upon: the straying and bewildered sophomores, whose sense of inferiority we encouraged with a grand air. In the fall elections, “Danny” Walker was chosen to preside over us, Jane Brittain became vice-president, Ruth Cronin smiled her way into the position of secretary, and “Bill” Hawthorne was made treasurer. This year we welcomed back an old friend, for the “Review” returned to the ranks after a year’s leave of absence. Wylie Kirk¬ patrick, as assistant editor, displayed remarkable literary ability. Athletics again intrigued our interest, and a wide field of ac¬ tivity was offered us. In football, “Freddy” Wakeham’s brilliant work in breaking up the opponents’ plays resulted in his being made captain his senior year. For the second successive year the soccer team won the championship of Greater Boston. The basketball five was aided in winning the majority of its games by the splendid play of guard “Eddie” Burns and forward Walter Carew. Richardson was again made captain of the hockey team. Then there was formed by Mr. Seymour a tennis team, which gave the “racketeers” an outlet for their surplus energy. We take this op¬ portunity publicly to thank the West Medford Tennis Club for the use of their courts. Some of our class needed no other physical exercise than that generously provided by the passing in the corridors of Medford High. In this hourly performance we all have excellent training for the strenuous business of dodging cars in crowded streets, and of escap¬ ing being nipped by doors of elevated trains in rush hours; for it is always rush hours in our corridors between classes. Even the “ani¬ mated door-stops” cannot wholly smooth our passage, and we have learned the truth of the statement that life is a struggle. The newly established Crockwell Memorial Library, with an up- to-date system, directed by Miss Hardy, who certainly is an up-to- date librarian, proved to be of great help to the students, and much credit is due to the girls who assisted in the library work. Their position in this helpful capacity is in line with another new venture, M.ff.S. student government, patterned after the already established govern¬ ments in schools and colleges in Massachusetts. It provided a means for the students to take an active part in the management of the school, and gave the members practice in the rules of parliamentary law. The school program was enlarged by the addition of several new activities. The French Dramatic Troupe, organized by Miss Loftus, brought into prominence Alba Alessandrini, of whom we expect to hear one of these days as a famous operatic star. Mr. Woodward, perhaps desiring to form a Medford High brain trust, started the Cum Laude Club for honor students. Another new organization, the Stamp Club, was honored by such speakers as Houghton Sanguinetti of the Boston Transcript, Mr. Needham, an Arlington collector, and Mr. Laskey of Medford. The Junior Prom, as should be the case with the class of 1936, was extraordinary. The St. Patrick’s Day decorations in the Colonial room of the Armory were an excellent setting for the swingy rhythm of Gene Evans’ orchestra. “Dot” Hazleton and Ruth Cronin, in green costumes, passed out the candy shamrock favors to the strains of “The Wearin’ o’ the Green.” Our new musical director, the energetic Mr. Schoonmaker, or¬ ganized the “ ' Schoonmaker Band” which created a great sensation when it made its initial appearance at the Brockton football game. Since the formation of this band, the air has been full of music, and from the depths of the lunchroom loud sounds of trumpets, horns, tubas, clarinets, and sundry other instruments of wind have wafted through this building many an afternoon, sometimes in sweet harmony, some¬ times in dismal discord, but always in a spirit of splendid team-work. Another music venture brought out boys who could sing, and some, perhaps, who only thought that they could sing. They made a successful glee club that sang right lustily with the girls of the “A Cappella Choir.” Music has cha rms, and we have truly felt its inspiring influence in the last two years. In some ways the junior year of school was the happiest. It did not demand of us quite the same responsibility that was ex¬ pected of the older class, and yet it gave us a position of importance m our school community. We began to feel something of the change in our affairs, however, when the seniors graduated. Then we be¬ came the ushering guides for the graduates, and with their commence¬ ment season we were suddenly aware that the time was not far dis¬ tant when we should be the seniors. It was the thrill that can come only once in a lifetime. We were seniors in the fall of 1935! Consciously we were aware of our advanced station in life, and consciously we made all others aware of it, too. What glory in seniority, if we failed to impress our im¬ portance upon those who must humbly follow our lead! Accordingly, we aimed to be impressive. Subconsciously, we realized a new sense of responsibility, and this not only for ourselves but also for our school. Probably this feeling inspired our very careful choice of class officers, and they have splendidly justified our confidence in 1936 M.H.S. them. The class is warmly grateful to its president, George Lamont; the vice-president, Jean Colgate; secretary, Ethel Anderson; and treasurer, Wilfred Ferguson. George Atwater, our valedictorian, lias upheld the standard of Med¬ ford High School by a record of highest honors for three years. Anna Silva too, although short in stature has been long in accom¬ plishment. Also in our scholastic hall of fame are Harry Atwater, Forest Berry, Elmer Kenneally, Alfred Morse, and Tom Sharkey. In the art department, Joan Spencer has been outstanding, the cover of the January “Review” bearing testimony to her skill. These artists, too, Ralph Isnor, Kemp Dowling, Natalie Penny, and Louise Foley, may some day bring fame to the class of 1936. As editor-in-chief of the “Review,” Wylie Kirkpatrick has car¬ ried on the tine work that he began last year. With an enthusiastic staff under his direction, lie lias produced two worthy publications. Of particular personal interest was the “autograph cover” of the June issue, for we were all anxious to see our handwriting “in print.” We have even been on the air this year, for over Station WCOP our debating team, through a series of interesting debates with other high schools, has told the world how to solve international problems. Sad to say, our boys did not win a debate! Nevertheless, since “Victor from vanquished issues at the last,” who knows but we may yet see Tom Sharkey, Richard Carr, Elmer Kenneally, Clark Streeter, and Roy Carpenter among the great statesmen of our country 1 The Cum Laucle Club, with Elmer Kenneally as its president, has enjoyed interesting speakers on professions. These included Professor Frank W. Pote of Tufts, Mr. George Atwater from the Hood Rubber Company, Dr. William Barrett, and Attorney Guy Healey. Exciting memories always arise when we start to talk of football, and we recall with a thrill the work of our varsity team, for the boys certainly made us proud. A “smashing terror” was our captain, Fred Wakeham; for this gridiron star, so shy and reserved at school, becomes a whrilwind of attack when there is a football in sight. The girls appear for honors, too, for feminine field hockey was reorganized this year after a nine years’ intermission. Great en¬ thusiasm greeted this new sport, and, in spite of the many bruised shins, every member of the team was an enthusiastic player. Wally Carew, Eddie Burns, Frank Marko, Teddy Cervone, and Nick Del Ninno made a formidable varsity quintet in basketball. They started the season with brilliant success, defeating their op¬ ponents in several fast games. “Band! Band! Band!” We heard this cry at all the football games, and in the music that followed the games, we felt an added inspiration to cheer. When the boys marched down the field, led by baton twister Bob Mullis, the opposing forces looked with envy and awe, while w r e enjoyed many a thrill of pride. All our musical enterprises developed wonderfully this year, and the band, orchestra, and chorus brought their talents together in April in a most success¬ ful concert at the Cousens gymnasium.. Our class has a particular loyalty to the school, which expressed itself even in its choice of music for the senior prom; a former high school student furnished the orchestra. The girls have the means to eternal youth as the result of that prom, for the prom committee gave them blue and white compacts, as favors. The hoys received key¬ rings, hut that is not the reason that the class chose for its play, “Seven Keys to Baldpate!” Lovers of the drama were given a chance to display their talents when we presented this thrilling mys¬ tery melodrama. Plenty of action provided a fine background for John Winning and Valerie Armstrong, the two main characters, and for the able cast who supported them. Although the details of our performance and the skill of our actors have been reported in the local papers, for us who were concerned in the production,—per¬ formers, stage-hands, electricians, prompters and general assistants, there are memories of busy days, rehearsals, hurried facial make-ups, frantic searches for lost properties, and for lost lines, too,—a long hush,—lowered lights, a curtain rising, applause— “the play’s the thing!” We were represented in another play in April when the one-act drama, “The Valiant,” was given before two assemblies. In this performance Bob Whittemore played with fine interpretation the dif¬ ficult role of the hero. AVe were glad that the Student Council was organized again, be¬ cause it gave us an opportunity, as seniors, to show how effectively we could help in the management of the school. Joe Daly, president of the Cabinet, and Jean Colgate, secretary, Danny Walker, presi¬ dent of the House of Delegates, Charlie Henderson, vice-president, and Mary Welsh, secretary, have given loyal and helpful service. AVe have become wisely democratic in our school government, and through the House of Delegates have enjoyed the experience of expressing our opinions and suggestions. The student council realizes the need of strong senior leadership hi so large an institution as Medford High School, for the history of a class is the history of a growing sense of responsibility and the need for each student to fit himself help¬ fully into whatever line of work he pursues. From these three years of scholastic endeavor, we take our places in the world much richer for our books, our companionships, and our teachers; and because of them, we ought to play the game of life with fairness, intelligence, and co-operation. So may it be, that when our work is done, Life shall say of us: “The pages of thy book I read, And, as I closed each one, My heart responding, ever said, ‘ Servant of God, well done! ’ ” Ruth V. Griffin, David E. Parker. 7 M.H.S. PRIZE SPEAKERS M.H.S. Prize Speaking Contest • The fine speeches presented by tlie contestants in the Eighth Annual Prize Speaking Contest, held in the Assembly Hall, May 26, necessitated lengthy deliberation on the part of the judges in select¬ ing the winners. As a result, the gold medals were awarded to AVil- lamena Parks and Harry II. Dustin. Silver medals, second prizes, were presented to Valerie I. Armstrong and Thomas W. Sharkey. Judges were Professor Frederic W. Stott of Phillips Andover Academy; Mrs. Harold M. Sheibe, Chairman of Drama and Litera¬ ture, Massachusetts State Federation of Women’s Clubs; and Mr. W. Lewis Parsons, Attorney-at-Law. Headmaster Ralph L. Kendall, chairman, introduced the speakers. THE PROGRAM Selection. Medford High School Orchestra 1. Opportunity . Valerie I. Armstrong ’36 2.

To have a team as great as that one of the pre¬ ceding year seemed an impossibility but the coaches, Mr. Brooks, Mr. Phelan, and Mr. O’Connor moulded an eleven which was recog¬ nized as one of the best in the state. The Medford season opened with a one-sided victory over Con¬ cord 33 to 0. The following Saturday Medford traveled to New Bedford where the surprising New Bedford team battled the Blue and White to a no score tie. Medford’s strong line excelled on the defense. The powerful Brockton team was defeated 14 to 13 in one of the big upsets of the season. In this game a Carew to Wakeham 1936 r“ r M.H.S. FOOTBALL M.H.S. The annual game with Somerville was featured by a strong of- a pass; Wakeham scored twice on running plays; and James Dwyer accounted for the other touchdown, giving Medford a big lead. The final score was Medford 27, Somerville 6. Medford was victorious over Everett in a very exciting game which was featured by strong defensive play. The Medford score came in the second quarter as the result of a safety. The lone defeat to mar the Medford slate was administered by Waltham, 13 to 0. The Blue and White was outweighed by the Watch City team which was too strong on the de¬ fensive to allow Medford’s attack to function. The traditional Thanksgiving Day game with Malden ended in a scoreless tie. Medford was in scoring position in the first quarter but a fumble ruined its chances for a touchdown. Malden likewise had an opportunity to score just before the half ended when it was on Medford’s four-yard line. The punting exhibition given by the kickers of both teams saved both Malden and Medford from defeat. The entire squad deserves praise for the fine showing throughout the season. The outstanding were Fred Wakeham, who not only proved to be an inspiring captain bnt also one of the most capable players ever to represent Medford; Ed Burns, who played well at guard; Bert Kenty, tackle; and Walter Carew, who directed the team at quarterback. = 1936 = BOYS’ HOCKEY M.H.S.

Q At the end of the previous season Medford had the prospects for a great team in 1936 with Kenty, Richardson, Stanley, Campbell, and Muse among the veterans returning. Unfortunately however, Bob Campbell left Medford to attend a preparatory school and it was learned that Bob Muse would be available only for part of the season. Coach Lang put a team on the ice which, although not as successful as previous Medford teams in the league standing, fought gamely in every contest. The team was led by Captain Bert Kenty who played at defense with Ed Dickson. On the forward line was Ed Richardson at center, with Stanley, Muse, and O ' Keefe alternating on the wings. John Meoli guarded the Medford net. Other members of the Squad were Maurice Carroll, Jack Browne, Bob Cushman, Anthony Fichera, James Dolan, Bob Whittemore, Walter Gladu, and Elmer Southwick. Among the outstanding games was the Medford triumph over the smooth skating Cambridge Latin team on January 4, at the Boston Garden. The final score was Medford 3, Cambridge Latin 1. In this contest Bob Muse was outstanding for the Blue and White. Medford held the strong Stoneham six, which won the league championship, for two periods, but then the Stoneham players found the range and were victorious, 6 to 9. Bert Kenty and Ed Richardson played well for 1936 M.H.S. Medford. On February 7, Medford lost a return game to Cambridge Latin. Although in the opening period both teams made many un¬ successful attempts to score, Maurice Carroll in the second period put Medford ahead on a pass from Bud O’Keefe. Less than a minute later, Kenty scored for Medford on a spectacular solo dash, but before the final bell Cambridge Latin tallied 4 times to win by the score of 4 to 2. Other keenly contested games were those with Arlington and Belmont, both of which ended in tie scores. Captain Kenty proved to be one of the outstanding defense men in the league while Ed Richardson and John Meoli were also honored by being selected to play on the Greater Boston League All Star Team. Another regular varsity player, Charles Stanley, was honored by his team mates with the captaincy for 1937. 1936 M.H.S. Indoor Track o =J°G3p Coach . M. Arthur Noble Captain .

Medford scored 9 3-4 points at the Andover Inter¬ scholastics. Medford scored 5 1-2 points at the State Meet at the Boston Garden. Medford’s indoor track season opened with the annual Alumni Meet on New Year’s Day. The participation of several college stars, among whom were Zamparelli and Henderson of Northeastern, and Hudson of Boston University, made the Alumni too strong for Medford. The final score was Medford 23, Alumni 44. The team met Malden High School at the Boston Y. M. C. A. on January 17 and was defeated by seven points. The final result of the meet was Medford 35, Malden 42. The inability of the Blue and White trackmen to place in the high jump event cost them the victory. Ed¬ ward Dugger was outstanding for Medford. In the Northeastern Interscholastics, the relay team of Twomey, Henderson, Dugger, and Queenan gave Medford a 2 y 2 point total. On the. following ' Saturday, La wrence defeated Medford 40-37. Again Medford’s weakness in the high jump event meant the difference between victory and defeat. High point scorers in this meet were Dugger 9 1-4, Twomey 7 1-4, Henderson 6 1-4, and Souther 6. The team was victorious over Huntington, winning 34 1-2 to 33 1-2. On February 29 Medford’s indoor track team closed its season by participating in the Annual State Meet held at the Boston Garden. 1936 1936 TRACK TEAM M.H.S. Outdoor Track Coach . M.

The following boys who won their letters in indoor track competition are available for the outdoor season: Captain Frank Souther, Caulfield Twomey, Francis Queenan, Edward Dugger, Charles Henderson, and Herbert Johnson. In addition to these trackmen who have proved their capabilities, there are several others who appear to have real track talent. These are John Sullivan, William Yelland, Daniel Walker, and Samuel Winer. A number of boys from the sophomore squad also show great promise which makes the track outlook bright for this year and the succeeding years. The Inter-Class event was the only meet which has been held at the present time. In this meet Eddie Dugger was the outstanding competitor. His 25 points resulted in victory for the Junior Class. Dugger won first places in the five following events: dash, 220, run¬ ning high jump, broad jump, and the hurdles. The Seniors were second with a point total of 23, followed by the Sophomores who made a fine showing with 17 points. Charles Henderson, a Senior, garnered two first places in the 440 and 880 events to give the ‘Seniors 10 points. Other place winners were Souther, Twomey, Miller, John¬ son, Clemente, Spicer, Sullivan, Herlihy, Price, Yelland, and Monaco. 1936 1936 BOYS’ SOCCER M.ff.S. Varsity Soccer 0 S oC7= - Coach . .

John Balsama was elected ca ptain and played sensationally at center forward but was injured in the Lexington game and was forced to remain out of the last two games. With the exception of Balsama, Joe Forte, and Domenic Cirino, the entire team will return next year; so the prospects for another championship team appear bright. The players on the first squad were as follows: Captain John Balsama, Joseph Forte, Domenic Cirino, Anthony Fichera, James Dolan, Elmer Southwick, Nicholas Del Ninno, Paul Cirinna, John De- Gangi, Domenic Augliera, Domenic Cernllo, Edward Lawless, Lawrence DeMone, Anthony Cialone. 1936 f M.H.S.

Captain Carew, Burns, and Cervone were outstanding for Medford. After the Woburn game the Medford team traveled to Arlington, defeating the locals in a one-sided contest by the score of 37 to 14. In this game Nick Del Ninno scored 10 points, among which were several sensational shots. Lowell was the next victim of the Medford quintet. Medford was trailing by 10 points at the beginning of the fourth quarter, but a Blue and White rally erased the deficit and Medford won its third straight victory—37 to 35. The fourth game of the season brought together two undefeated teams, Medford and Everett. “ ' Sleepy” Marko brought victory to Medford with four field goals and 1 foul shot making a total of 9 points. The final score was Medford 26, Everett 22. The old Revere Jinx was prominent again as Revere upset Medford. Although Ed Burns played a great game for Medford, tallying 15 points, the Blue and White went down to its first defeat of the season by a 31 to 28 score. The Medford squad was hard hit by ineligibles after the second marking period. Two regular players were lost to the team for the remainder of the season. On January 28, Medford’s quintet went to Chelsea where it met last year’s Tech Tourney winners before a capacity crowd. They met with little success, however, and were defeated by the score of 23 to 16. Following this game, Medford was victorious over Woburn and Arling¬ ton but was defeated by Lowell, Revere, Everett, and Somerville. The highlight of the Medford season was the victory of the team over Chelsea in a return game in our gym. Fusco was the high scorer, while Prentiss and Carew excelled on the defense. 1936 : BASEBALL Baseball Coach . Managers . Arthur Terrill Charles Henderson, Robert Maher The Medford High ' School Baseball Team was undefeated in league competition at the time of this writing, having won both scheduled games. In the first league game at Chelsea, Medford was victorious 14 to 2. Barrett, Collins, and Niland pitched for the Blue and White, holding Chelsea to 5 hits while Wakeham and Lloyd led the batting assault with two hits apiece. The other league contest was against Malden which was won by Medford by almost the identical score as the Chelsea game, 14 to 3. Carew, Augliera, Nahigian, Meri- cantante, and Lowe excelled at bat for Medford as Anderson, Niland, and Campbell were allowing Malden 6 scattered hits. The results of these two league games rank Medford as a contender for the cham¬ pionship which is now held by Somerville. Other games played resulted in defeats from Lexington, Arling¬ ton, and Stoneham and victories over Lawrence and Boston English. In the Lawrence contest, a powerful batting attack led by Cervone and Wakeham resulted in the scoring of 7 runs in the eight innings to win the game for Medford by the score of 14 to 8. In the Boston English game, two triples by Alex Nahigian which drove in 4 runs, and 3 hits by Dom Augliera, were largely responsible for the Medford victory. Bob Jennings pitched well for the Blue and White. The final result was Medford 8, Boston English 5. The team will play additional league games against Somerville, Revere, and Everett and will also meet Quincy and Malden Catholic School, the leader in the Catholic League.

These were against Haverhill and Tufts Freshmen, both of which were lost by Medford 9-0 and 7-2 respectively. However the squad lias the prospects for much better results in the remaining matches. The members of the squad who have played in the two matches with Haverhill and Tufts Freshmen are Captain Callahan, Sweeney, Sul is, Walker, Knight, Tobin, Parker, Ma rvel, and Wellington. Matches remain to be played with Salem, Boston Latin, Brookline, Newton, and Malden. z 1936 GIRLS’ HOCKEY M.H.S. Girls’ Field Hockey Coach . Myra I. Luce Captain . Eleanor Harrington Manager .

The team had a very successful season with Eleanor Harrington as Captain and Muriel Kenney as Manager. Field Hockey apparently will be a major sport for girls at Medford High School, since the varsity team, most of whom were seniors who had never played hockey before, showed such a brilliant start by win¬ ning two games out of the three played. The team played two games with Cheverus and one with Malden High School. Letters were awarded to the varsity team, and numerals to the second team. 1936 — M.H.S. 1936 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL M.H.S.
