W hy, you know — Jane just came in ! Ever since she has attended M. H. S. she has been a source of fun for all her friends. In class rooms, she is always distracting the attention of her neighbors with her everlasting humor. We all hope that with her pleasing per- sonality she will succeed in whatever she endeavors to do after leaving us. JEAN ALLAN BROOK “Jeannie” Euclidean (3) Girls’ Club (3, 4) Lens and Shutter Society (4) Traffic Squad (4) It gives us great pleasure in introducing this striking brunette, who has been on the top all during high school. Her favorite educational pursuit is writing snappy stories for English class or “School Life”, while the part of her free time not occupied by welfare work for Girls’ Club is spent at her favorite pastime, dancing. Good-natured, obliging, enthusiastic, and always ready to start some fun — that’s “Jeannie.” GEORGE W. AETHER “Judge” Hi-Y (3, 4), Euclidean Society (3, 4), School Life Staff (4), Rifle Club (4) One rainy day in September, 1931, “Judge” waded from the Washington Heights through the wet streets to enter the local High School. Being assigned to a leaky home- room in the Sewall School, it is little wonder that with such a humid background “Judge” has become fond of the “briny deep.” Some day we may see him aboard a practice-ship gazing through a sextant and munching hard-tack. MARIAN AMAZEEN “Wimpy” Basketball, Girls’ Club (3, 4) Medford’s gift in ’31 to the class of ’35 was the individ- ual known to us as “Wimpy.” She dislikes dancing, but adores hamburgers and roller skating. She’s full of fun except when speaking to a teacher. Then she’s very serious. She expects to become a .private secretary, but we have our doubts as to whether she’ll work long enough for that, not if he has anything to say about it. Here’s wishing you success, pal. (16) GULLIE ANDERSON “Blondie” “Blondie” came to us from the Lincoln School in ’31 as a shy freshman, but in the course of her high school career “Blondie” has won many friends by her willingness to do whatever you ask her. Although not a member of any clubs, “Blondie” is a warm supporter of our athletics. We are certain that “Blondie” will succeed in whatever she undertakes. RALPH S. AUSTIN “Baby Austin” Orchestra (1, 2, 3), Hi-Y (3, 4) Ralph came to us from the Washington School in 1931. He was a violinist in the orchestra for three years and an interested member of the Hi-Y for two years. Ralph has always been a loyal fan and booster to all school sports and activities, and although quiet and reserved, was wel- comed and liked by all. We all wish him lots of success in whatever field he may choose. RALPH M. AYER “Blondie” Debating Club (2), Art League (3, 4), Hi-Y (3, 4) Ralph, known by some of his classmates as “Blondie”, came to us from the Roosevelt School in 1931. He was a member of the Hi-Y club in ’34 and ’35. We hope that he will be successful in anything that he undertakes in the fu- ture and that he will be prominent in any other clubs of which he may become a member. RITA BABIN Rita came to the Melrose High School four years ago from the St. Mary’s school. During these four years she has won many friends. Rita has a winning personality and a perpetual smile. She has not informed us of her future plans, but we are certain she will be a success in whatever she undertakes. Good luck, Rita. (17) MARJORIE RAILL 1 E “Margie” “ Ginger” Girls’ Chib ( 2, 3, 4 ) “Margie” came to Melrose High four years ago from the Lincoln School. She has been a good scholar and a good member of Girls ' Club. “Ginger” has done her bit to cheer our teams on to victory. She is planning to take a P. G. course next year, from which she will go to a business col- lege. We wish you the best of luck, “Marge.” ANNE BAKER Girls ' Club (3, 4) Blushing Anne Baker typifies the song, “Sweet and Lovely,” with her dreamy, brown eyes, curly hair and win- some smile. Her modesty is most becoming, and added to her poise, sweet disposition, and sense of humor, makes her a most likeable companion. In spite of her quiet manner, we predict that Anne will be Go(d)ing places in the near future. EDITH BEHNKE “Edie” “E” For four years Edith has attended Melrose High, study- ing when she had to and drawing when she could. She has many interests, ranging from books, archaeology, and the poetry of Keats, to operas; from sports to movies; and her character is just as changing. Therefore, no one can ever find her boring. Let us hope that some day she will be the successful artist that she hopes to be. NELLIE BENEDICT “Nel” “Benny” Pal” Girts’ Club (3, 4), Orchestra (1, 2, 3 ) ; Glee Club (4) This quiet girl came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School in ’31. Although “Nel” seems quiet to those who do not know her well, she is peppy and active to those who are intimate with her. Her sweet smile has won many friends for her. She is planning to be someone’s capable secretary, and we certainly wish her loads of luck and success. (18) WEBSTER W. BENEDICT “Web” Band (2), Cloak and Plume (1), Masque and Wig (2), Orchestra ( 1 ) “Web” came to Melrose High School in 1931 by way of the Washington School. This lanky fellow has taken part in musical and dramatic activities throughout his school life, and has made many associates, friendly and other- wise. Outside of school “Web” enjoys experimenting with electricity and roaming to country places, especially New Hampshire. “Web” is uncertain about his future but in- tends to keep away from institutions of learning. HERBERT P. BERTOULIN “Bert” “Red” “Herb” The Washington School lost a gentleman and a scholar when it passed “Herb” to the High School. Although “Herb” didn’t participate in any activities or sports, he was an ardent follower of all. In his spare time he may be found in or around the Y. M. C. A. His favorite sport is swim- ming. He has made a multitude of friends with his winning smile and personality, and with these traits we wish him the best of luck. DANTE BINDA “Danny” Football (1), Baseball (1, 3, 4), Hockey (3), Glee Club (4) “Danny” came from the Washington School in 1931. In his four years at M. H. S. he has acquired many friends with his friendly smile. “Danny” has participated in three sports, but he excelled in baseball. He spends half of his spare time in Malden. We wonder what the attraction is. Dante plans to enter Duke University in the near future. Happy landings, Dante. HARRY BLACK “Blinker” “Blackie” Football (1, 2. 3, 4), Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Hockey (1, 2) Harry came to Melrose High in 1931, where he has ex- celled in sports from the first year and become outstand- ing for his football ability. He has made many friends with his flashing smile and good humor. You always know when he is around, because he has a shadow called “Ginnie.” Harry is planning to go to college, and his friends feel sure when he enters the business w r orld, he will be a success. (19) GLOW A BLAIR The year nineteen hundred thirty-one brought to M.H.S. from tli e Roosevelt School radiant personality and charm in the form of Gloria Blair. Although she is the picture of health, Gloria of late has been afflicted with a “MaF’ady. We would be inclined to worry but for the fact that she is under the best of treatment. For Gloria, success is inevit- able, and we wish her all the luck in the world. FRANCIS G. BLAISDELL Hi-Y (3, 4), Orchestra (3, 4), Band (3, 4) “Frannie” entered the Melrose High School in 1930. He didn ' t enter into any sports, but he attended many school activities. His private life right now is spent in working nights at a drug store in Winchester and in sleeping, no- body knows where. He is very interested in the drug line and plans to attend the Massachusetts College of Pharmacy next year. W. LEONARD BLANCHARD “Len” Hi-Y (4), Orchestra (1, 2) His ready smile and witty remarks have gained many friends for “Leni” since he entered M. H. S. in 1930 from the Roosevelt School. Although “Len” has not been on the athletic teams, he has been at the games, bellowing himself hoarse for Melrose. We do not know exactly what “Len’s” plans are following graduation, but we know that he will plug hard wherever he goes. PHYLLIS J. BOARDMAN “Phyl” “Bucky” Chorus (4), Glee Club (3), “The Mikado”, “Cherry- blossom”, “The Lucky Jade”, Girls ' Club “Phyl” moved here from a neighboring city just before her Freshman year. Although she is very reserved and quiet in school, she is very different outside. In spite of the fact that she is Mr. Scott’s left hand, she has aspirations of be- coming a model. This is too bad, because Phyl’s favorite pastime (when she is not asleep) is eating. Here’s to her success and happiness in the years to come. (20) AUGUSTINE J. BONZAGNI “Gus” Rifle Club (4) “Gus” is another one of those fine young men who came to us from the Roosevelt School. His pleasing personality has won him many friends during his four years in school. Although “Gus” did not take an active part in sports, his high marks in class show us that he used his time very profitably. Helpfulness and ambition with a liberal portion of humor are “Gus”’ chief characteristics, and they are soon to lead him far along the road to success. ELMER H. BOURNE “Twink” “Twinnie” In the graduating class of 1931 from the Washington School a boy that liked farm work entered the High School and pursued studies along these lines. Elmer is a non-re- specter of persons in that he tries to imitate some of the celebrities of our radio and film world. We’ll miss this breezy, happy-go-lucky senior, and hope he won’t find in his battle with the world anything that will take the buoy- ancy from his steps or the smile from his lips. BETTY BOWDITCH Betty, a very quiet person, who works conscientiously at all her studies, makes a grand friend for those who know her well. In spite of her shy nature, she has many definite likes and dislikes ; and movies, music, and books are her hobbies. She wants very much to become a secretary, and her employer, whoever he may be, will certainly find Betty a faithful worker. JOHN H. BOYAJIAN “Ardie” “Moey” “Ahab” “Ardie” came to us from the Lincoln School in the fall of ’31. He excels in all studies, especially mathematics, which is his hobby. “Ardie” likes basketball and plays very well even though he is not a six footer. He also has a like- able personality and a quick sense of humor. Although he has not any particular college in mind that he wants to at- tend, he is sure to make good in whatever school he chooses, and he has our wishes for the best of luck. ELIZABETH A. BRENNAN “Bette” Girls’ Club (3, 4) “Bette” came to us, a blushing young Freshman, from the Lincoln School. She is very quiet during school hours, except for an occasional giggle. Her head is usually turned in the direction of Arlington. W e wonder why. “Bette” in- tends to become somebody’s private secretary, hut we don’t know who he is to be. Anyway, we know that no matter what she does, she will be sure to succeed. GERTRUDE ANN BRENNAN Detty” “Det” Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4), Poetry Club (3, 4), Glee Club (4) “Detty” may look very quiet and demure, but in her case, looks are most deceiving. “Det” is full of fun and a true friend. She is extremely fond of dancing. Although not athletic, she enthusiastically supports all our teams. Her ambition upon graduating is to become a comforting angel in a white uniform. Happy landings, “Detty.” JEANETTE BRETAGNE Girls’ Club (2, 3, 4) Jeanette Bretagne graduated from the Washington School in ‘31. She is a member of the Melrose High School Girls’ Club. Her favorite sport is football, and her hobby is “Gardening”. She has made many friends because of her cheerful disposition. Jeanette is undecided as to what she will do in her future, but we wish her the best of luck. MATILDA BROCK “Tillie” Girls ' Club (3, 4) “Tillie” came to M. H. S. from the W ashington School. During her four years here she has made many friends be- cause of her cheerful personality. “Tillie” has a fine sense of humor and is a good sport. Although she never went out for sports, she showed her lively school spirit. Whatever “Tillie” plans to do, we all wish her the best of luck. (22) BETTY BROWN Orchestra (i, 2, 3), French Chib (3), Girls’ Club (3, 4), Euclidean Society (3, 4), Poetry Club (4), School Life Staff (4), Traffic Squad (4), Class Secretary (4) Betty appears to be a shy, quiet little girl, but that just proves how deceiving appearances are. She is really very prominent in school activities, as the long list above will show. She is especially interested in music and poetry. Retty is going to Skidmore next year; she plans to be a de- signer. See you in Paris, Betty. EDITH BRUCE “Edie” “Brucie” “Ditta” Edith came to the Melrose High School as a graduate of the Roosevelt School. She is very attractive, with a friend- ly smile for everyone. She has acquired many friends dur- ing her school career. In spite of the fact that Edith has no definite plans for the future, we all know she will be suc- cessful and wish her loads of success. JEANETTE BRYANT “Jean” Girls’ Club (3, 4), Art League (3; We all remember the day Jeanette entered Melrose High from the Washington School in 1931. Because of her keen sense of humor and co-operative spirit, she made many last- ing friends. Although “Jean” has never participated in school sports, she has been an ardent spectator at the games. “Jean” plans to attend an art school in Boston next fall. W e are willing to bet she will choose the one nearest North- eastern. Lots of luck, “Jean” ! RICHARD HAMLIN BUCK “Dick “Bucky” Euclidean (3, 4), Nuntius, Hi-Y (3, 4) “Bucky” was thrust into this turmoil of learning from the Washington School four years ago. He is a prominent member of Euclidean, which shows that he has consider- able scholastic ability. His engaging smile has won for him many friends. In his last year he found a new “Page” in life. Good luck, Dick, in whatever you may attempt! (23) THEODORE E.

He lias successfully accomplished everything that he has tried and has made a host of friends by his genial personality. He plans to go to Harvard when he completes his High School course, and we know he will be a great success. V 1 RGI N 1 A B U RCHSTEAD “Gini” Girls ' Club (3, 4) Virginia came to M. H. S. in 1932 from Salem. Although quiet and reserved, Virginia is reliable, conscientious, and has a perfect sense of humor. To those of us who know her she is a grand pal and an honest critic. Next year she hopes to attend Forsythe Dental. Best of luck, “Gini”. EUGENIE BURNHAM “Jean” “Jean”, a most vivacious young lady, came to M. H. S. from the Washington School. Seldom is she seen without “Barb” or “June” on either side of her. We wonder why Jean frequents room 203 almost every afternoon. Never- theless, we know Jean will be a success in whatever she at- tempts in the future. W ho wouldn’t with such a smile and such a personality ! ROBERT BURWEN “Bob” “Maestro” Band (2, 3, 4), Orchestra (2, 3, 4), Lens and Shutter (4) Meet Bob Burwen the “Maestro” of our class. His music and personality won for him a place of honor as well as a host of admirers. Besides playing in the band and orches- tra, Bob made a new name for himself with his famous “Trumpet Trio” and his distinctive dance band. We are sure that his future will be filled with “Happy Days”, and “Sweet Music”. (24) EVELYN L. RYRNES “Eve” Girls’ Club (3, 4) “Eve”, as she is known to her intimate friends, came as a Freshman from the Washington School. She is an en- thusiastic football fan and a popular member of the Girls ' Club. Her favorite pastime is dancing which she seems to enjoy much more than studying. “Eve’s” ambition is to be- come a hairdresser, and we wish her success with every wave. MARY E. CALT Cloak and Plume (1), French Club (3, 4), Girls’ Club ( 3 - 4 ) Fresh from the portals of the Roosevelt School, in 1931, there came to M. H. S. a shy little figure. She is still the same, modest person, but one who, during her four years in high school, made many friends. Though her plans are not definite, Mary has set Simmons as the institution in which to complete her education. Here’s the best of luck and success to you, Mary. LILLIAN CARNEY “Lil” Girls’ Club (3, 4), Glee Club (2, 3, 4) This peppy, cheerful girl came to us in ‘31 from the Roosevelt School. “Lil has several talents, the chief of which is dancing. Her ability to play the piano rates equal to this. Also her art is not forgotten. She has a hobby, Tyler, by name. “Lil plans to become a nurse, and we re sure she’ll be a success. MARJORIE E. CATTLEY “Marge” “Kitty” “Cats” Orchestra (i, 2, 3, 4), Debating Society (3), Secretary (4), Glee Club (2, 3), Girls’ Club (3), Basketball (1, 3, 4) In 1931 a quiet (that is she appears so until you really know her) little freshman entered High School from the Washington School. Her pleasing smile and her blond curls over the ice cream counter here, won her many friends. She plans to go to college next year, but take up what — she does not know. However, whatever you do, “Marge,” your smile will win you every success. (25) MARY CEFALO Mary came from the Washington School in September. 1931, whereupon she joined the freshmen class of M. H. S. Those who know Mary consider her charming and good- natured. Her ready smile and her quick wit have won her many friends during her four years at high school. She is a loyal supporter of the football and basketball teams. e do not know what Mary intends to do, but whatever she does will be a credit to the Class of 1933. Good luck, Mary! PATSY CEFALO “Pat” “Pat” came to us from the Washington School along with his sister, Mary. His activities in High School have been confined mostly to his studies, but we are willing to bet he has plenty to do outside, because he is seldom idle. Keep going strong, “Pat”, we are for you! FREDERICK CHAPMAN “Freddie” “Chappie” Baseball (3, 4) “Fred” came to Melrose High from Boston Latin in 1933. Blond, blue-eyed “Freddie” attracted a good deal of attention and as a result got acquainted with everybody very rapidly. He is a real sport, having gone out for foot- ball in (3) and (4), and basketball in (3), besides his baseball in which he won his letter here in Melrose High School. DOROTHY CHENEY “Dot” Girls’ Club (3, 4) This demure, blue-eyed lass is always a boon to any party. Her favorite pastimes are riding and swimming; while her main educational pursuit is writing original com- positions. A friend, a pal, and always ready to start some fun- that’s “Dot”. The best of good wishes for her suc- cess in studying journalism at college. (26) DOROTHY CHURCHILL “Dottie” Nuntius (1), Vice-President of Cloak and Plume (i).

Almost before she could read, “Dottie” was playing her violin, but although Nero fiddled while Rome burned, “Dottie” declares Rome was not built in a day, so in addition to her practicing, she finds time to keep on the honor role also. Nor can we overlook her literary ability, as her work on “School Life” has shown. Our hats are off to this versatile, young lady. GENEVIEVE CLARK “Gen” Glee Club (4), Lens and Shutter (4) Genevieve is another of this school’s budding artists, who intends to make art her career. However, not all her time is devoted to this calling. In spite of her easily aroused giggles, she is a congenial companion because of her many interests, mainly music, movies, out-door sports, and danc- ing. Under her unassuming appearance, she has her secret ambitions, which we hope will some day be realized. JEANNETTE CLARK “Brutus” “Jerry” Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Girls ' Club (3, 4), Cloak and Plume (1) “Jerry” is a tall girl with a crop of curls which have a lot of exercise.

Good luck to you, “Jerry”, e JOSEPHINE CLARK “Jo” Girls’ Chib (2, 3, 4), Glee Club (3, 4), Debating Society (3), President (4), Art League (2, 3) Along came “Jo” from Connecticut in 1932 to Melrose High ) where she soon made many friends. Wherever “Jo” is, there is bound to be a good time. She has been an active debater and a popular member of Girls’ Club, for which she has coached several plays. Whatever “Jo” plans to do in the future, we are sure she will make good. We all wish her the best of luck !

In spite of giving her time to dancing and a certain “someone” at Holy Cross, she has attained high marks in her studies. She hasn’t been active in sports, but has, nevertheless, been an interested spectator. Mary plans to be a nurse, and I’m sure we envy the lucky patients whom this lovely blond will care for. ARTHUR CLARRY, Jr. “Arty” Arthur Clarry, one of the class of 1935, has been going up the ladder of success slowly but surely. Upon gradua- tion from the Roosevelt School in 1931 he entered the Melrose High School.

CLOW Freshman Baseball (1), Track (3, 4) A graduate of the Washington School, Warren entered the good old high school in 1931.

He hasn’t any plans for the future, but he is bound to be a success. (28) LAURENCE COLE Track (4) Laurence entered Melrose High in ’31. He is a quiet sort of fellow. As an ardent sports follower, he is seen at all football and hockey games. Laurence has studied well and has shown the ability to succeed in his future under- taking.

MIRIAM COX “Mindy” Girls’ Club (3, 4), Euclidean (3), Glee Club (2, 3), German Club (4) Tall and stately? No. Short and blonde? No. Although of medium height and complexion, “Mindy’s” right on top when Fere are any teams to be cheered on or plays to attend. She started this school spirit in the Roosevelt school and has continued it through four happy-go-lucky high school years. When she ventures into the business world next year, may she meet success and happiness. ARNOLD J. CRAVEN Orchestra (3, 4) Arnold J. Craven graduated from the Northeastern Junior High School in Somerville. Arnold has a pleasing manner with all his friends, is full of fun, and never in a sad mood.

V 1 RG IN 1 A CRT TCH ETT Girls ' Club (3, 4) “Jinnie”, quiet and calm, has large, beautiful, brown eyes, which make her very charming. She has hosts of friends. She loves all out-door sports, especially skating and coast- ing. Her wish was once to be a dietitian, but she has recent- lv changed her mind to become a nurse. Go to it, “Jinnie”, we all wish you the best of luck. HELEN CROSBY “Honey” Helen came to M. H. S. as a senior from St. Mary’s School. During her year with us she has gained many friends, both by her pleasing personality and good humor. As yet her plans for the future are indefinite, but we are sure that whatever she does, she will be successful. LINCOLN BRUCE CROSBY “Link” “Bing” Band (1), Hi-Y (3), Treasurer (4), Euclidean (3, 4), School Life (4), Log Staff (4), Track (3, 4). After entering M. H. S. in 1931 from the Roosevelt School, “Link” has made rapid progress in his four years of study and activity. Not only has his wit and humor made him many friends, but also his remarkable ability has earned for him a place among the brightest of the class. “Link” plans to enter Tech in the fall, and, judging from his progress here, we know he will succeed. Good luck, “Link”! MILDRED L. CULVER “Milly” Debating (3, 4), Girls’ Club (3, 4) “Milly” is one of the quieter members of our class at first appearance, but she is really a very lively little person. She came to us in the fall of ' 33 from Stoughton High and has gained many friends in her short stay here. Here’s hop- ing you’ll have as good luck at Katherine Gibbs as you’ve had at M. H. S., “Milly”. ( 3 o) J ACQUES CUN N I NGH A M Baseball (i), Basketball (i), Football (i, 2), Glee Club (3, 4), Masque and Wig (4), Debating Society (4), Drum major (4), Head Cheer Leader (3), “Miss Cherry Blos- som”, “ The Lucky Jade” Meet Jacques Cunningham, most versatile man of 35. Far and wide range his talents across the field of sports to that of the light opera where his acting has displayed con- spicuous talent. Especially memorable is his deft rendition of the role of John Henry Smith in “Cherry Blossom” and his transcendent portrayal of John Endicott in the “Lucky Jade”. More power to you, Jacques. DOROTHY DAVIS “Dot” “Dotty” “California” Girls’ Club (3, 4) Pep, vim, vigor, and plenty of noise — that’s Dot. She’s sure to be in the center of all the fun. Her favorite sports are skating and swimming; she gained perfection in the lat- ter when she went to California in her Junior year She plans to take a P. G. and then enter the business world. Smooth sailing and a happy landing, “Dot”. WILLIAM C. DeCOSTE “Bill” Hockey ( 1, 2, 3, 4) “Billy”, the Boy Artist on skates, can make figures as well as cut them. As a hockey star, “Bill” was one of the league’s high scorers, and an unanimous choice for the All-Scholastic Team. A continued association with him brings a vivid realization of his sterling qualities. There is no doubt but “Billy” will make his goal in the future, and we expect he will “go places” at Hebron Academy. HELEN DELORY The M. H. S. became indebted to the Roosevelt School for the presence of Helen in ’31. Her charming personality, which is exceeded only by her good looks, has acquired her many friends during her High School career. Tap dancing takes up a great deal of Helen’s time ; hence her inactivity in school sports. May success always be yours, Helen.

Tennis (2, 3, 4), Varsity Club (4) Quick as a whip, a sweet voice, and plenty of “go get ’em”. This explains Betty to us. The latter can be proved by watching her play basketball. Since she has begun sing- ing, we are unable to figure out which orchestra has en- gaged her. However, we are sure that whatever field she chooses to follow, she will surely be a success. We aren’t worrying. DOMINIC DINARDI Dominic Dinardi has been going up the ladder of success slowly but surely. Upon graduation from the Washington School in 1931, he entered the Melrose High School. After receiving his diploma following four years of commercial study, he is planning to go into business and undoubtedly will make a name for himself because of the ambitious qualities which he possesses. EDNA PRISCILLA DOBSON “Ned” Girls’ Club (3, 4) Four years ago a blonde, blue-eyed girl from the Roose- velt School swelled the ranks of bewildered freshmen. She has worked faithfully and has been a fine friend to all who know her. Although she is fond of mischief, she has her serious moments. After graduation she plans to seek em- ployment and then to attend Wilfred Academy. We wish her the best of luck ! ARTHUR DODGE “Art” Art walked under the portals of the new Melrose High School in the year 1933 from Wakefield. Art played foot- ball in 1933 and had a brilliant future in the sport, but the necessity of working after school caused him to drop the sport for his remaining years in Melrose High School. Art is well liked by all and is known as a good-natured fellow. We wish him the best of luck. (3a) LEO DONOHUE Coming to Melrose during the first year of our High School stay, Leo added his good-natured presence to our student body. As he enjoys sports, Leo has been a familiar figure on the athletic field and the hockey rink. Many “Stones” have obstructed his path during his four years in M. H. S., but he has emerged triumphant. We feel that Leo will become a famous orchestra leader in a few years, and we will be able to hear our pal on the air in one of his inimitable renditions. JOSEPH A. DOUCETTE “Joe” “Bud” Orchestra (i), Chorus (i, 2, 3, 4), Glee Club (2, 3, 4), “Mikado” (2), “Miss Cherryblossom” (3), “The Lucky Jade” (4) “Joe” came to our high school four years ago from the Lincoln school. “Joe” is a very industrious fellow and he is always ready with a joke.

We wish him the best of luck and success in business and in social life. HAROLD F. DOW Harold entered Melrose High from the Lincoln School in the class of ’31.

Good luck and success in your future undertakings ! FRANK DOWD JR. “Junie” “Frankie” “Dowsie” “Junie” was sent to us from Jacksonville, Fla. in 1933. Lacking enough points to be in a 1935 home room, he got down to business. His name may now be found on the honor roll. Although he doesn’t participate in school activ- ities, he may always be found cheering the teams on. Even though he hasn’t planned anything definite for the future, we are sure that success will be his reward. Good luck, Frank. (33) UMI ' IWfJ Wl fPfl ■ WjlJ MARGARET MARY DOWD “Marg” “Fanny” “Fuzz” “Ducky” As one sees Margaret in her seat, he gets the impression that she is quite a bashful and quiet girl. But as you get to know her you find her quite the opposite. Margaret has a witty sense of humor which she lets out at the most unex- pected times. She has the ability of keeping her friends amused at all times. Margaret’s ambition is to become an artist. W e all wish her loads of success. BARBARA DOWNEY Barb” Girls’ Club (3, 4), Chorus (1, 2, 3, 4) Here’s “Barb” and — yes, she is alone which seems very strange, since it is so seldom that this attractive, brown- eyed girl is ever seen without her two bosom pals, June and Jean. These “three musketeers” are the “never-on-time” members of our class. “Barb” has made many friends since her entrance into M. H. S. ; perhaps the reason for this is her good nature and ever smiling countenance. Happy Landings, “Barb”!

Aside from her artistic abilities, Esther has athletic tendencies, as is shown by her success at tennis and basketball. We all wish Esther plenty of good luck in the continuation of her art. DOROTHY EMERY “Dot” “Dodo” “Emmy” Glee Club (2, 3, 4), Cloak and Plume ( 1), Basketball (3,4) “Dot” came to us in her freshman year, another famous Rooseveltian. Her friendly spirit and good nature have won her many friends. She is v an ardent football and hockey fan.

PRISCILLA FILLMORE “Sil” “Fil” Field Hockey (2), Vice-President of Class (3, 4), Junior From Committee (3), Girls’ Club (2), Induction Team (3), President (4), Traffic Squad (4) Of course — “Sil”! Who could mistake our “Sil” — those warm, friendly glances which reveal her genuineness and sincerity? As President of Girls’ Club, Priscilla has been successful in living up to those ideals which her position has demanded. Can you account for “Sil’s” sudden inter- est in navigation? Sh ! Now, that her presiding days are over, “Sil” well-well, we aren’t quite sure. Wherever your path leads you, here’s to you, “Sil”. RUTH FINDLAY “Ruthie” Girls’ Club (3, 4) “Ruthie” entered M. H. S. from the Lincoln School in 1931. She is an attractive dark-haired girl with a very pleasing personality which helps her to gain many friends. Her highest ambition, which she has demonstrated thor- oughly, is art. Blushing seems to be her most common trait. “Ruthie” plans to enter some school of art next year. We wish her the best of luck. RUTH F. FLANAGAN “Rufus” Girls’ Club ( 3, 4) Because of her charming personality, Ruth has gained many friends among her classmates. Dancing occupies the major part of her recreation, and she has certainly mastered this art. We wonder why Ruth’s interest is centered in that well known town of “Brookline”? Chances are she knows the answer. Ruth is planning to go to Burdett Col- lege in the fall, and we all wish her success in the future. (35) WESLEY FOLEY Football (3), Baseball (3) W es” came to us from Medford High in 1931 and since then has made many, good, staunch friends in Melrose. He is an ambitious boy and will likely go far, as we ad surely hope. es really has a very broad sense of humor, al- though one might not realize it, if he met “ es” very early in the morning. ERVIN G. FORMES “Chub” “Chubby” Rifle Club (4) “Chub is that curly-haired, good-natured boy who found his way to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt Institute of Knowl- edge four short years ago. He is an ardent sportsman, hav- ing participated in baseball as well as football. Right now it seems that his great interest lies in developing his abilitv to shoot. “Chubby” has not decided on the nature of his future career, but we know he will succeed in whatever he undertakes. CO N STAN C E FO ST E R “Connie” ( iirls ' Club (4) “Connie”, who came to Melrose High in 1931 from W inthrop, might be thought sober and demure, but by those who know her more intimately she is found quite the op- posite. Maybe “Connie’s” inactivity in school organizations accounts for her high marks in spite of several long ab- sences. Best of luck, “Connie”, in whatever you undertake to do in the future. DONALD A. FOSTER “ Bud” Lot I (4), Traffic Squad (3, 4), Hockey (3, 4), Tennis (2), Captain (3, 4) This quiet, unassuming boy from the Roosevelt entered our stately portals with an enviable reputation for studious- ness and athletics.

FRENCH “Pete” Girls’ Club (3, 4) Anna entered the Melrose High as a freshman from the Roosevelt School. During her four years in the M. H.

H. S. be so helpful to her that she will be ever successful. WILLIAM GILDINGS “Bill” “Bill entered our doors from the Washington School. V hen you meet “Bill”, you are impressed by his congenial personality. He was known and liked by practically every- one in the school.

Mary is rather a quiet, studious person, but it is a general belief that in whatever she under- takes as an occupation, she is sure to succeed. (65) GERTRUDE POWERS “Gert” Girls’ Club (4) Little “Gert” came to the Melrose High School from the Roosevelt Class of ’31. “Gert” gives the impression of be- ing rather quiet to those who do not know her very well. Her willing and sympathetic nature probably explains her desire to become a nurse. In this profession we feel sure that she will succeed. Good luck, “Gert ! LUCY PRAY Hue” Glee Chib (2, 3, 4), Girls ' Club (3, 4), Field Hockey, Manager (4), “Mikado” (2) ust right! That’s Lucy. Whether on the athletic field or in the school room, she’s working her hardest. . Ilthough short in stature she makes up for it with her cheery disposition. N ever does she fail to bring a laugh or to give one. Even when she fulfills her greatest ambition and goes out West, we wish her the best of happiness. DOROTHEA PREECE “Dolly” Field Hockey (2, 3, 4), Basketball (2, 3), Cloak and Flume, ( 1 ) , Masque and IVig (2, 3, 4), Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4), Glee Club (2) “Dolly” hails from the Roosevelt School. She came to M. H. S. in ’31 bringing with her lots of personality and sunshine. During her four years, “Dolly” has proved her- self an all round-girl by participating in sports as well as displaying her acting ability in several plays. “Dolly” has been following the secretarial course and we all know she will be a success in whatever she undertakes. Good luck, “Dolly”! EVELYN W. PROHL “Evie” “Evie” entered the portals of M. H. S. from Roosevelt in 1931, ready to achieve success in her studies and to gain many friends. “Evie” has maintained an enviable scholas- tic standing, and her radiant smile and sunny disposition have won her a host of friends. Her favorite amusements are basketball and football. We wonder if a certain “Hec- tor” is the attraction? Happy landings, “Evie”. ( 66 ) LESTORE G. RAMSDELL Four years ago Lestore entered our doors from the Washington School. Fie has not been connected with any school activities because of outside duties. His interest seems to be in the direction of Malden, where he is seen a great deal. We haven’t learned what he is to do next year, but he will surely be a success. JOHN REED “Sticky” “Pete” Football ( i ) “Sticky” entered M. H. S. in 1931. Since then, his win- ning personality, fine disposition, and ability to make friends have aided him in gaining an enviable personality. Al- though he has given little thought to the fair sex in school, it is known that great interest is shown in such by him on the outside. Whatever he does after leaving high school, we know, will be worth while and prosperous. HAROLD REEVES Junior Prom Committee, Year Book (4), Traffic Squad (4), Hi-Y (3, 4), Euclidean Society (3, 4), Secretary (4) A “Pat” on the back for Harold. Throughout his high school career Harold has been outstanding in all the activ- ities in which he has engaged. He has been a true friend in every sense of the word. To those who have worked with him he has been a real helper and comrade ever to be re- membered. What Melrose loses, Harvard gains. ALPO REGNELL “Al” “Al” joined our class after receiving his sheepskin from the Lincoln School in 1931. He has made many friends, but is a bit shy of the weaker sex. Since most of his out- side time has been devoted to working in a store, he has not been active in school activities. He plans to own a retail store. Best wishes for a successful future, “Al”. (67) JOHN F. REYNOLDS Poetry Club (4), I.eus and Shutter (4), Cafeteria Book- keeper, Log Staff (4) John entered M. H. S. from the Lincoln School four years ago. He readily found the secret of popularity and became an outstanding member of the Class of ’35. Wher- ever fohn goes, he carries a contagious smile and grains of homelv humor. He is an honor student, too. His fine ap- pearance and sincere efforts have made him a credit to his school. John plans to enter Bentley to become a C. P. A. Lots of luck, “Johnny”! CHARLES A. RICHARDSON “Charlie” “Al” Football ( 1. 2, 3), Track (3, 4), Masque and Wig (4), Hi-Y (2, 3, 4), Baseball (1) “Charlie” came to us from the Roosevelt School where he participated in all the athletic activities. His genial smile, pleasant manners, and natural wit have made him a very popular classmate, a good mixer, and a regular fel- low. Naturally this popularity has extended to the fair sex of Melrose High. We know, however, that “Charlie” will succeed in his chosen field. DOROTHY RICHARDSON Masque and Wig (3, 4), Girls ' Club (3), Poetry Club (3), “The Old Lady Shows Her Medals’’ (3) Our old salt sailed in from the Roosevelt School and is now racing like the “Yankee” toward Bryn Mawr. A skip- per would have to go some to keep up with her yarns ( ?) at lunch, in some secluded lagoon. She is a devotee of the Theatre. W e will have our spy glasses trained to see into what port she will glide under full sail. Bon Voyage. MARION RICHARDSON “Marnie” Field Hockey (1,2, 3, 4), Basketball ( 1, 2, 3), Baseball (2, 3, 4), Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4) Marion, as a shy freshman, came to us from the Roose- velt School, but it didn’t take her long to get acquainted. “Marnie” participated in every sport during her four years. She has also been an honor student most of the time. We feel sure that Marion’s favorite study is history, because she is so fond of James I. “Marnie” is planning to enter into the business world next year. Happy landings, Marion. (68) HERBERT RICKER “Herb” “Herbie” “Bert” Baseball ( i, 3, 4) “Herb” entered Melrose High School in 1931 after grad- uating from the W ashington School. Participating in base- ball, he proved the power in that wicked left arm of his. Popular with both the fellows and weaker sex, his person- ality and good nature have gained him many friends and will, we know, aid him in his future enterprises.

No, you’re right. She worked for everything she has. Unusual ? Unusually good humored at any rate, which is part of the secret of her success. Captain? Well, not of everything, but she does her best al- ways, and that’s all that counts. Fouth ? What more can one wish for with which to meet the world. Jane has even more so she’s sure of hap- piness. ARTHUR S. RIDLEY “Tody” “Art” Football (1, 2, 3), Track (2, 3, 4) “Art” is one of those handsome, broad-shouldered he- men seen only in moving pictures. But aside from that fact, he is as human as the rest of us, with one other exception. “Art” is intelligent, yes, actually brilliant. He has several times won his place on the coveted honor roll. He has also won a place in all our hearts, with his rollicking fun and flashing smile. In other words, his unbeatable combination insures him success without our even wishing it upon him. JAMES P. RINN “Pat” “Jimmie” Hi-Y (4) The on-rushing tide of freshmen which submerged M. H. S. in 1931, carried with it a fearless freshman. From the moment he crossed the threshold, “Jimmie” has been one of the most active members of the class. Possessed with unusually good humor and a big, pleasant smile, “Jim- mie” has had no trouble in gaining a host of friends. “Jimmie” plans to take up dentistry. We know he will succeed and wish him all the luck in the world. BARBARA ROBBINS “Barb” “Jo” Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4) Four years ago the portals of the Old High School opened to one Barbara Robbins. Through the past four years, “Barb has made many friends by her ready wit and winning personality. Barb has been interested of late in “ |oe”-ography, and she hopes to make further progress in that study. We wish you the best of luck at Chamberlain next year, “Barb”. NORMAN P.

This is shown by his prowess on the football team, of which he was captain ; on the dance floor, where he is a past-master of the more difficult steps; and in his little blue roadster, which he daily tests on the W yoming Hills. W e know “Normie’s” ability to make friends will continue in prep school and throughout life. MAR | OR I b. G. ROGERS “Marge” “Margie” Orchestra (2), Band (1, 2), Girls’ Club (3), Cafeteria, Bookkeeping (4) Little “Marge”, with a smile and a giggle, jumped into the fray of High School from the Washington to find more friends and gain a little knowledge. Despite all her struggles, she has emerged on top with marks flying. She has always been an ardent football and hockey fan. W hat- ever you plan to do, “Marge”, we wish you the best of luck. MARGARET L. ROURKE “Miggie” X un tins (1 ), Glee Club (2), French Club (3, 4), President (4), Girls ' Club (3, 4), Chairman of Social Committee (4) On the surface Margaret is retiring; but underneath, oh no! On the contrary, she is a very active girl. In school, planning suppers and presiding in French are her special- ties. Out of school, she prefers hockey and the stage, but she is an ardent fan in all sports, and is always ready for fun. In the fall “Miggie” plans to go to Jackson, where she will major in chemistry. Here’s wishing her the best of luck and success!

Many attractive fields are open to our talented “E. R.” Whatever develops, “Ellie” — the stage, radio fame (w r ho knows?) — here’s wishing you the best. VIRGINIA RUFLE Masque and Wig (4) If Virginia reminds you of a pretty picture, perhaps it is because she wants to be a painter on a larger scale — a stage designer. If the Massachusetts Art School can only bring out all her innate ability, it won’t be long before you have to ride a hundred stories to her penthouse in the sky before you can even hope to see her. ELLAMAE RUSSELL “Ellie” Baseball (1, 2, 3, 4), Girls’ Club (2, 3, 4) “Ellie” entered Melrose High in 1931. Now as she walks aimlessly to and from classes, one wonders where her wan- dering mind is. What? Arlington! Oh! Nevertheless, she has shown great interest in school activities, although she has joined but one club. Whatever you take up as your fu- ture career, we all know you will be a success. Happy land- ings, “Ellie”. STOWE SAYWARD School Life (3, 4), Log Staff (4) Stowe is one of the best known and most liked members of our class, although he has been with us “ ‘35’ers” only two years. He is a big, strong, handsome brute, the type that makes a successful business man. Stowe was absent quite some time because of a coasting accident. Here’s hop- ing success doesn’t “toboggan” him off any cliff. (7O WILLIAM J. SCHAEFFER “Bill” “Jack” Orchestra ( I ) , Band ( i, 2), Hi-) ' 13, 4), Track (3, 4), Bill, entering M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School in 1931, found himself one of a multiude of bewildered Fresh- men.

Although his special field of endeavor remains unchosen, we know he will make it a success. L. FULLER SCOFIELD “Chump” Football (1, 2), Basketball (2) Fuller graduated from the Washington School to join the Class of ’35. Extremely interested in sports, he played football during his freshman and sophomore years and bas- ketball during his sophomore year.

LEE SELLON “Deacon” Track (2, 3, 4), School Life Staff (4) Lee gained access to M. H. S. four years ago, via the Lincoln School. Since that time, he has proved himself a line student. Lee has won a place for himself in the hearts of many. 1 f you, by chance, should see Lee “Meuse”-ing in the corridors, pay no attention, he is just reminiscing. As Lee proceeds with his education, we wish him the best of luck.

DAVID SERVIS “Dave” Cloak and Plume (1), Masque and Wig (2, 3, 4), Band (1, 2, 3) “Dave” entered the portals of M. H. S. from the Wash- ington School. He has made many friends, including some teachers. Although he has not been active in school athlet- ics, he has followed all scores. We do not know what the future has in store for him, but we hope his five years of Latin will be of benefit. Good luck, “Dave”, and may your years to come be happy ones. EARSTOX L. SHAW “Skin” “Doc” “Earnie” Basketball (1, 3) In 1931 the gates of Melrose High swung open to admit smiling “Earnie” Shaw. He may be seen quite often near a certain house on Myrtle Street seeking the company of a fair young lady. But “Earnie” is not always chasing girls, because he takes delight in building boats. After leaving Melrose High, he hopes to continue studying at Wentworth Institute, where we wish him the best of luck. MARION FRANCES SHERMAN “Mammie” Girls’ Club (3, 4), Euclidean (3, 4), Glee Club (2, 3) The fall of 1931 ushered into the precincts of M. H.

When she first graced this city with her presence, the wise men had to acknowledge that this baby “had some class”. She, too, has a habit of disappearing at recess time ! RHONA SLADE “Rho” “Ronny” Cirls’ Club (3, 4), Glee Club (2, 3), Poetry Club (4) “Rho” is a diminutive but exceedingly important member of our class who has smiled her way through four years of high school in her quiet and unobtrusive manner. Dancing and sports fill a large place in her outside activities. Rhona’s personality an,d marked ability to make lasting and worth- while friends have made her one of the most popular mem- bers of the class of ’35. DORIS T. SMITH “Smitty” Baseball (i), Glee Club (3, 4), Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4) From the time “Smitty” entered Melrose High School from the Roosevelt School, she has been very much inter- ested in all athletics and took an active part in baseball and basketball.

Dan is an amateur photographer, and expects to continue along this line of work. We all wish him the best of luck. BURTON F. WARREN “Burt” “Red” Band (1, 2, 3, 4), Orchestra (1, 2, 3, 4), Glee Club (3), Lens and Shutter (3), Rifle Club and Team (4), “Miss Clierryblossom” (3) “Burt” came to us from the Roosevelt School in 1930. In 1931 he went to Reading High for a year and a half, but returned here in the fall of 1933. “Burt” spends all his spare time in North Reading. We wonder why? He faith- fully attends band and orchestra rehearsals with his inev- itable “sax”. “Burt” hopes to find a future in Diesel En- gineering. May good luck be with you, “Burt”. (81) RAYMOND Y. WARREN “Bud” Football (1,2) What a source of merriment this young fellow has been since he entered M. H. S. back in 1931 ! His ready wit and good nature have gained him a host of friends, both male and female. “Bud” has shown his ability to make his own wav and get along with every one. Soon after he completes a course in Massachusetts Nautical School, we will prob- ably be calling him, “Captain Bud”. DONALD W ASHBURN “Don” Track (3, 4), Captain (4), Football (1, 2, 3), Traffic Squad (3, 4), Hi-Y (3, 4) “Don” came to M. H. S. from the W ashington School. His winning smile and pleasing personality have made for him many friends. “Don” is not only a good scholar, but also a fine athlete. His election as captain of the track squad clearly indicates the latter. W e feel that whatever Don” un- dertakes, he will be a success; and we wish him the best of luck. RICHARD M. WEBBER “Ritchie” “Dick” The Lincoln School gave us “Ritchie” four years ago. This good-natured lad has a way with every one, and it is impossible to feel downcast with him around. His contag- ious smile has made him one of the well-liked boys in the class. He is sometimes a little hasty in doing things, but with his pleasing smile and his sincerity he always comes out ahead. Here’s to vou, “Ritchie”. ERVIN L. WELCH “Erv” Cloak and Finnic ( 1 ), Masque and Wig (2, 3, 4), Hi-Y (4), Orchestra (1), Band (1) “Erv entered the M. H. S. in 1931 from the Washing- ton School and has since proven himself a worthy student. He has participated in many extra curricula activities, is a good tennis player, and an enthusiastic hunter. During the open season you will usually third him at Essex. Because of his winning personality, he has made many friends. Next year lie intends to specialize in chemistry at Mass. State. Good luck, “Erv”! (82) ROSAMOND WEST “Rossie” “Rossie” came to M. H. S. in 1934 from St. Mary’s High. Although she has been with the class only during this last year, her cheerful disposition have won her a host of friends. The northern part of Main Street holds some attraction for “Rossie”. She says the name is Mae, but we’re inclined to think that it’s Jack. “Rossie” hopes to find her future in the business world. Rest of luck, always, “Rossie”. JAMES L. WHEELER “Jimmie” “Jimmie” entered M. H. S. in ’31. Since then he has gained distinction for his scholastic ability, although he has never been carrying a book home. He is quite a favorite with his fellow students. He expects to complete his com- mercial training at Bryant Stratton. We wish him great success in his endeavor in the business world. FREDERICK I. WHIPPLE “Fred” Football (1) “Fred” sauntered into Melrose High School in 1931 from the Roosevelt School, and for four years has graced this noble institution with his cheerful presence. He is frequent- ly seen at the best social functions — in the best of company. “Fred’s” independence is his strongest characteristic, and without doubt it will carry him to a high position in world- ly affairs. JOSEPH T. WHITE, Jr. “Bud” “Joe” Football (1, 2, 4), Track (4), Hockey (2), Operetta (2, 3 4) “Joe” came to us from the Gooch School and soon won himself many friends among both sexes. “Joe” has played well on various school teams. He is well known by his pleasing personality and powerful physique. He has no plans for the future, but we know he’ll be a success. Be ' st of luck, “Joe”. (83) W ILLIAM HENRY WHITE “Bill” “Timken” “Speed” Football (2, 4), Track (4), Baseball (4), Glee Llub (L 2, 3, 4) Bill” entered M. H. S. in ' 31 from St. Mary’s School, and with him came his ever-present grin and ultra mis- chievous spirit. Bill” certainly made the girls’ hearts skip a beat. He also rated as an excellent football player. In- juries prevented “Bill from playing his favorite sport, hoc- kev. We are sure “Bill” will smile his way to success. BEATRICE F. W HITMORE “Bea” Trixie” Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4) Beatrice has won numerous friends during her four years with us. Her sunny disposition fascinates all who meet her. She has been an efficient stenographer and a good scholar. She likes music but is especially noted for her artistic talent in making all her clothes. She has filled her own career, as well as her friend, Charlie’s, with loads of fun. We know she will succeed in the future. Don’t be too serious, “Trix”. FLORENCE W HITMORE “Flossie” “Flip” Girls ' Club (2, 3, 4) This happy and sincere young person is our conscientious “Flossie”, who came to M. H. S. from the Roosevelt School. Her willingness to help a friend in need has won her many friends indeed. “Flossie” has been a staunch supporter of school sports. Her favorite hobby is the drawing of beau- tiful ladies. In the future “Flossie” is planning to continue this hobby at art school. Here’s wishing- you lots of luck, “Flossie”. ELMER WHITTIER “Moie” Baseball (1, 2, 3) Elmer, a quiet, likeable chap, came to us from the Roose- velt School in 1931 and soon won himself a host of true friends. He may be seen daily driving around Melrose as the King of Taxi drivers. Although he is said to be shy, we wonder it that certain party thinks so. Best of luck al- ways, “Moie”. (84) WINONA WILDES “Nona” Orchestra (i, 2), French Club (3, 4), German Club (4), Girls’ Club (3, 4) Although interested in all kinds of sports, inona’s specialty is tennis, and she could easily become a hockey coach because of all she has learned about it (players, etc.) in the last four years. Her real aim is to be a chemist. She is a fine dancer, violinist, and, especially, a true friend. JOHN D. WILLEY “Johnnie” Track (3), Cheerleader (3) John matriculated in 1931 after he was graduated from the Washington School. He is one of those gay, carefree lads who go through high school on a lark, and yet receive good marks. He is usually seen with a mischievous smile on his face. But “Johnnie” has serious thoughts, and he is going a long way up the golden ladder of success. MARGUERITE E. WOODILL “Miggy” Nuntius (1, 2), Orchestra (1, 3, 4), Euclidean (3, 4), French Club (3), Girls’ Club (3, 4), Torch Editor (4) Where can you find a more conscientious, deliberate girl than Marguerite ? Her quiet but sunny manner and her excellent ability have made us ever conscious of her pres- ence. She is most ambitious in everything she undertakes, the proof of this being her remarkable w T ork on the “Torch” this year. Although business-like in appearance, Miggy has a less serious sfde to present when occasion calls. The best of luck at Simmons next year, “Miggy”. ROBERT ALLAN WOOLLACOTT “Bob” “Robie” “Bob” graduated from the Washington School and en- tered Melrose High in 1931. He has done well in his studies, and made many friends through his pleasing per- sonality and pleasant smile. “Bob” is a football enthusiast, and is present at many games. He gets a good view at most places, because he is a six-footer, and way above most of us. Here’s to you, “Robie”. (85) ROP.ERT I.. ZURBACH “Bob” Hi-) (_, 3, 4), Cloak and Chime (1), Masque and H it (2, 3, ), Treasurer (4), Euclidean (2, 3, 4), Treasurer (4), School Life (4) “Bob” joined the ranks of the Melrose High School in 1931. lie arrived here fresh from the Roosevelt School and soon became known for his prominence in social and club activities. Next year “Bob” plans to go to Middlebury or Williams, and we are all sure that he will be a success there, as he was here. Good luck, “Bob”. OWEN F. ALLEY “A] Owen came to the Melrose High School when a senior from the North Attleboro High School. Owen is a very timid person but well liked by all of his friends. Owen is undecided as what his life’s work will be, but we all wish him the greatest success in whatever task he may undertake. Good luck, Owen, and great success in the fu- ture. lillian McClellan “Lil ” “Smiles” Lillian entered M. H. S. as a Senior from St. Mary’s School. She is full of fun and has a sense of humor which we all appreciate. Lillian is undecided about her immediate future, but we know that whatever it is, she will find suc- cess.

Priscilla Fillmore Vice-President — Janice Gould Treasurer — Eleanor Rowe Secretary — Janet Maclachlan Corresponding Secretary — Eleanor Searle Realizing that no organization can exist very long for social purposes only, Girls’ Club has adhered to the original ideals set by its founders and has estab- lished itself this year even more firmly in the school as an important and worth- while organization. Our Welfare Committee has carried on very extensive work this year, not only at Thanksgiving and Christmas, but continually throughout the year, and the annual report shows great co-operation by the members of this service. The Mem- bership Committee has admitted many energetic new members who are to carry on the work next year and fill the shoes of the graduating class. This year marks the club’s ioth Anniversary. Ten years ago we started with a nucleus of 18 members and now w r e number over 200. Of course the celebration of this anniversary was a gala event and one of the biggest nights of the year. Some of the most interesting speakers secured by the Program Committee were Miss Kershaw, Mr. Sprague, Mrs. T. Graften Abbott, Mrs. Barbara Harroth Knight, Mrs. Mary L. Barrows, Mrs. Carita Lovejoy, Mr. Howard Russell, Mrs. Gula Plummer, Reverend H. V. Jensen, Reverend W. H. Tracey, Reverend Gar- field Morgan. Many well-planned refreshments and suppers were put on by the Social Committee including refreshments for Friendly Week and Alumni Night meet- ings, the opening Banquet, the Mothers’ Night Supper, Hi-Y Supper, and of course the most successful ioth Anniversary Banquet. Needless to say, much credit is also due to “Mac”, our adviser and leader, and to our efficient president. We, the Seniors, are confident of the future success of Girls’ Club and look- forward expectantly to ten years from now when we can return for the 20th Anniversary. (99) (ioo) MASQUE AND WIG SOCIETY President — Donald Houser Vice-President — Richard Greene S ecreta ry — M ary Sherman T reasurer — Robert Zurbach Corresponding Secretary — Anna Noyes Faculty Advisor — Miss Hall The Masque and W ig Society has completed another successful year under the direction of this efficient executive group. At the Christmas Assembly “Dust of the Road”, a one-act play, was pre- sented. Later in the year “The Bishop’s Candlesticks” was given at an assembly. This play was also presented at Emerson Drama Day. Both of these plays coached by Miss Eleanor Walker, a former president of the club, were highly successful. In April the ' Masque and W ig gave as their annual production the delight- ful comedy, “The Admirable Crichton”, by Sir James M. Barrie. The cast gave an excellent presentation and high commendation should be given to all teachers and pupils concerned in the production. The interior scenery was done by our own group under Miss Damon’s direction. The following from the class of ’35 will long remember their participation in “The Admirable Crichton”: Frank Con- nor, Alma Sullivan, Janet Maclachlan, Richard Greene, John Reynolds, Adrienne Thorn, Donald Houser, and Ervin Welch.

(104) BAND The Band this year has surpassed all previous organizations both in interest and in work accomplished. The season was opened with the group playing at Fathers’ and Sons’ night, this being the first showing of the gorgeous, new crimson, velvet uniforms. During the thirty week broadcast program of one of the leading Boston or- ganizations, the M. H. S. Band members were entertained in groups, this serv- ing as a stimulus and real example of what they are striving for. At the band concert, Walter M. Smith, the cornet soloist, will be the artist, and it is safe to say at this date the entire uniform bill will be paid by this year’s band class. A surprise feature at this concert will be the appearance of the flute craftsman, Verne Powell, who, through friendship with Miss Mont, has offered his services. Also, the concert will bring a “March Melrose” that is dedicated to the M. FI. S. Band by Miss Mont, and played for the first time in public by the band. All senior members will receive their letters at this event, thus adding the band to the lettered group of the school. (io6) ORCHESTRA The Melrose High School Orchestra is the largest in the history of the school, having this season reached a membership of fifty-two. The interest has been greatly increased owing to the many compliments and letters of encourage- ment that have been given the group. The results of the work shown at the Op- eretta were likened by newspaper reports to a finished theatre orchestra, and the tonal quality and balance were greatly praised. Next season a concert by the orchestra is to be added to the school activi- ties. (107) (io8) GLEE CLUB THE LENS AND SHUTTER SOCIETY President — Adrienne Thorn Vice-President — Lewin Joel Secretary — Marjorie Kelley Treasurer — Helen Talbot The newest of the School’s clubs has come through the “first year” with fly- ing colors. Membership has more than doubled that of last year. Two amend- ments have been made to our Constitution, and the Society now meets on the sec- ond and fourth Friday of each month. In October, a hilarious good time was enjoyed at a joint social with the De- bating Society. The members have also enjoyed several interesting programs at the meetings. Hugh Wallace Smith of Melrose gave an illustrated lecture with his very beautiful collection of lantern slides. At the last meeting, Mr. Poole explained the chemical composition of a film and its reactions when exposed. (ioq) DEBATING SOCIETY The Debating Society opened the year with Josephine Clark, president; Theodore Bullen, vice-president; Marjorie Cattley, secretary ; Alden Tibbetts, treasurer; and Miss Taylor as our faculty advisor taking the place of Mr. Young, who has faithfully and untiringly served the club for so many years. 1 his year the program has consisted largely of debates between the mem- bers. However, the club has had one interscholastic debate and expects to have others through the Metropolitan Debating League, a new organization composed of nine Greater Boston schools. (no) ART LEAGUE President — Ralph M. Ayer Vice-President — Herbert Halliday Secretary — Dor is H a m i lton Treasurer — Bertha Beirweiler The special activity of the Art League this year has been the preparing of two Marionette shows, “ 1 he Knave of Hearts” and the “Troll King”. Some members of the Art League and Art Department have shown wonderful talent in producing this work. (m) POETRY CLUB President — Janice Gould Vice-President — Dorothy Churchill Secretary — Eleanor Rowe Treasurer — Edith Macullar Corresponding Secretary — Catherine Groody Faculty Advisor — Miss Putnam The Melrose High School Poetry Club for the year of 1934-1935 has had twenty members. Thirteen of them will graduate this year. The regular monthly meetings have afforded programs of great interest, four of which have been outstanding. The Christmas meeting held at the home of Margaret Lang was most enjoyable. At the annual public meeting, we had as our speaker Mrs. Margaret Hallett Lang, who chose as her subject “Paul Engell, the All-American Poet”. In February, the club members were guests of the two Melrose W oman’s Clubs, where they had the pleasure of hearing Mr. Richard Kean, who gave character impressions in costumes. Miss Eleanor W alker, an alumna of the Melrose High School, gave a program of poetry readings at the March meeting. Of the fine work done in original verse writing this year, we feel that the most outstanding is that done by Laurence Richardson of the class of 1938. The seniors sincerely hope that the Poetrv Club in the future will have as fine and interesting meetings as were held this year. (112) CLOAK AND PLUME SOCIETY President — Lois Wildes Vice-President — Earle Rankin Secretary — Miriam Sears T reasurer — Cynthia Stanley Cloak and Plume, the Freshman dramatic club, is the only club for which Freshmen are eligible. At each monthly meeting, the Club presented a one act play. The first play was “The Unseen”. This was followed by “Little Women”, “The King’s English”, and “Stuffed Owls”. “The King’s English” was also presented before the Masque and W ig Society, the varsity dramatic club. In February we had the pleasure of being guests of the Melrose and Mel- rose Highlands Woman’s Clubs to hear Richard Kean give character impersona- tions. At our April meeting, we welcomed Miss Norcross to our club. She enter- tained us by reading a one act play, “The Flattering Word”. hen parts for “The Admirable Crichton” were selected, we were pleased to learn that three of our members, Doris Clinkard, Lawrence Richardson, and Earle Rankin were chosen. We feel that we have benefited a great deal from these programs and work in the Club, and we wish to thank our two sponsors, Miss Wilder and Mr. Kroe- psch, for all they have done for us. (113) SCHOOL LIFE The magazine of the school was again published under the direction of Miss Drake and Mr. Battles of the faculty. The same high grade of work was main- tained, just as “School Life” has always put forth. With an able staff in charge, the members of the school contributed most of the interesting stories and poems published during the year. Although the past few years have been very hard on the pocketbook, enough subscriptions were obtained to finance the magazine. This was only possible, though, because of the real effort put forth by the busi- ness staff in collecting advertisements. Although subscriptions fell off from the level of last year, we hope to turn the magazine over to the new staff without any deficit. e also wish to extend our thanks to those who have supported “School Life”. (114) JUNIOR RED CROSS President — Anna Noyes Vice-President — Gloria Muller Secretary-T reasurer — Eleanor Presby Program Committee — Marie Bissell Service Committee — Eleanor Mitchell The motto of the Junior Red Cross is “Service for others”. With this in mind, several projects have been included in this year’s program. In the Fall, the Christmas boxes, which are annually filled in the Grade Schools of Melrose to be sent as “good will gifts” to less fortunate children In foreign countries, were inspected and shipped by members of the High School Council. Again this year, home-made candy, cigarettes and magazines have been sent to the Bedford Veter- ans’ Hospital. At Christmas, under the direction of the City Welfare Depart- ment, six families were supplied with dinners, and a large number of games and puzzles were given to the recreational department of the Melrose Hospital. Thus, this year, the Junior Red Cross of Melrose High School has been able to partic- ipate in each of the three phases of the National Red Cross program for “Local, National, and International Service”. (n 5 ) NUNTIUS “Nuntius”, the publication produce, d by the students of the first and second year Latin classes, began its existence in 19 5 an d ' s therefore, celebrating its decennial this year. As usual, there are three issues for the year 1934-35. Since 1935 marks the beginning of the bimillenary celebration of the birth of the great Roman poet, Horace, recognition of that fact is being made in the last issue. “Nuntius” has enjoyed a large circulation among the students of the Latin classes and is frequently mentioned in other Latin publications throughout the country. (116) HI-Y President — John Little Vice-President — Donald Houser Secretary — Richard Monroe Treasurer — Lincoln Crosby Corresponding Secretary — Wesley Goding During the year 1934-1935 the Melrose Hi-Y Club has enjoyed a very suc- cessful season. Under the able leadership of Mr. Johnston and Mr. Lacey the club has undergone a rapid reformation and is now well on its feet again. The meetings have been interesting and educational and have aided much in the im- provement of youthful standards. We have had many interesting and beneficial speakers. Among them have been such prominent men as Mr. Tracy, Captain Grey, Mr. Coombs, Colonel Rout- well, Mr. Sprague, and other members of the faculty. We feel that the three greatest achievements of the year are as follows : changing the membership from a large, inactive group to a smaller, more inter- ested club ; establishing a substantial treasury for the club in the future ; and drawing up a new set of by-laws. With these advantages we are sure that the Hi-Y Clubs of the future will be even more successful than any preceding them. (117) RIFLE CLUB In January two hundred boys showed their de sire to have a Rifle Club. Mr. Worth was chosen faculty advisor, and later the officers were elected. They are: Frank Eaton, President; Richard Tobey, Vice-President; Ralph Arming- ton, Secretary and Treasurer; and Robert Vidler, Range Officer. Due to lack of facilities the membership has now dropped to a little more than twenty. The meetings are held twice a week on the two point range at the American Legion Bungalow. The Club is indebted to the American Legion, not only for the use of the range, but also for the use of their rifles. The Club is also indebted to the Legion for the certificates and the medals which it is presenting to deserving members for their skill and accuracy in marksmanship. The Team ( made up of ten members) has fought three matches, each one showing improvement. The first match at Malden was: Malden — 483; Melrose — 463. The second match at Norwood was: Norwood — 483; Mel rose- -482. The third match here was: Norwood — 495 ; Melrose- 484. I hese first three matches were with veteran teams, but the Club hopes to meet with teams more of its status later in the season. (n8) GERMAN CLUB On March 4, 1935 the advanced German students formed a club, which ad- mitted to membership “A” an 4 “B” students. From sixteen members the fol- lowing officers were elected: President, Conrad Keniston ; Vice-President, Ruth Alger; Secretary, Jean Merrill; Treasurer, Frank Shiverick ; Chairman of Pro- gram Committee, Winona Wildes. The second meeting was held at the home of Winona Wildes. Professor Ftaskell of B. U. introduced the speaker of the after- noon, a young lady who recently spent a year studying in Germany. The club is a member of the German League, to whose meetings delegates are sent each time. (119) EUCLIDEAN SOCIETY President — John Little Vice-Presid en t — ' esle y Godi ng Secretary — Harold Reeves Treasurer — Robert Zurbach Faculty Advisor — Mr. Dunk Under the careful supervision of Mr. Dunk, a new member of the faculty, the Euclidean Society has passed another successful and interesting year. Many members and the support given to the club’s activities were .deciding factors in the success of the club’s program. Many enjoyable speakers were presented during the meetings of the year. Among those who gave various talks were Mr. Battles and Mr. Dunk of the fac- ulty and Professor Ramsom of I utts College. Mathematical and scientific problems were worked out by the students themselves. Interesting trips to Tech , Hood’s and Schraffts’ were enjoyed by all, not only for their scientific value but also for the samples offered. The able work of John Gillingham helped a great deal to make these programs successful. I he graduating members of the class hope that the society may have, as good fortune in the future as it has enjoyed in the past. (120) THE FRENCH CLUB President — Margaret Rourke Vice-President — Alma Sullivan Secretary — Phyllis Lerner Treasurer — Betsey Lowell Faculty Advisor — Miss Chase Another year of worth-while achievement has been accomplished by the French Club under the able leadership of Margaret Rourke an,d the program committees. The special aim of the meetings this year has been to afford every member of the Club an opportunity to use the spoken language at every meeting. Although there was no written sign — “Ici on Parle Francais” — ever yone tactfully agreed to the rule. I hree programs proved especially enjoyable: one a debate conducted entire- ly in French ; one a musical program consisting of vocal and instrumental music composed by French composers; and one a May Day party held at the home of the President. The French Club has tried to live not to itself alone, but to remember its duties as a member of the school and of the community. A donation was made to help purchase a lantern for the use of showing slides to benefit the whole school, and material aid was given in putting on an assembly, which all might en- joy. At Christmas several families were the recipients of well-filled baskets, each bearing the greetings of the season. (121) TRAFFIC SQUAD (122) ATULLTICS FOOTBALL The 1934 season opened with only two lettermen from last year’s team on the squad. Up to the time of playing Wakefield, with the exception of the Mal- den game on Columbus Day, the team lost all the games by only one touchdown. The games placed were with the following schools: Quincy, Malden Catholic, Beverly, Woburn, and Winthrop. However, after losing six consecutive games, the team redeemed itself bv defeating Wakefield by a decisive score of forty to nothing and winning over atertown the following Saturday by a twenty-five to nothing score. The season closed with the usual Thanksgiving Day game with Arlington, played at Melrose. Although Arlington won by a score of six to nothing, this game constituted a fitting climax to the season. Our team, in playing Arling- ton, was lighting one of the strongest elevens in the state. 1 aken as a whole, with nearly all inexperienced men on the team, the season was one of which we may be proud. Letters were awarded to the following: Captain Robinson, O’Brien, Inger- soll, I. W hite, W White. Cage. Spencer, ' Thompson, Shaw, MacDougal, Patter- son, Priestley, ( jetty, DeLuca, Paganucci, and Whitney. (124) HOCKEY Hockey for the season of 1934-35 will undoubtedly go down in the history of the school as one of the most interesting on record. This was due to the close contest between Melrose and Arlington for the Interscholastic League champion- ship. The league was composed of the same combination of schools as in prev- ious years. At the time the last league games were played, Arlington and Mel- rose were tied for the first place. However, a tie score between Melrose and Cambridge Latin, with Belmont losing to Arlington, gave the league title to the latter. A summary of the games shows that the team won eight games, lost two, and tied four. Several veterans will form the nucleus of the 1935-36 team. Letters were awarded to the following: Capt. Thayer, Gpding, Foster, De- Coste, Shaw, Priestley, Machines, Smith, Sullivan, Mayne, Rotundi, Davison, and Little. BOYS’ BASKETBALL The 1935 team established a record that had not been duplicated for at least nine years. Playing a schedule of seventeen games, the record stands eight won and nine lost, four of the defeats being lost by one point. The scheduled games included teams recognized as outstanding ones, especially Belmont, Winthrop, and Woburn. The team defeated Woburn at the gym by a score of twenty-five to fifteen. This defeat probably eliminated W oburn from participation in the Tech Tourney. Catholic High of Malden was defeated twice, and these two games were the most spectacular due to the fact that both contestants were evenly matched. With the showing made this year and the excellent material in line for 1936, which will include one letterman, next year’s team should come through with a better record than that of 1935. Letters were awarded to the following: Captain Ingersoll, Varney, Nelson, MacHugh, DeLuca. (126) BASEBALL TEAM Coach ■ — Harold Poole Assistant Coach — George Scott This year the baseball team is under the player control system. There is no captain of the team, but the coach appoints an acting captain before each game. 1 he team made a good start by defeating Saugus ' in the first game of the season by a score of 26 — 10 and by defeating Stoneham 13 — 3 in the second game. I his is a good start and we are looking forward to a good season. The schedule is as follows : May 1 — Watertown May 4 — Wakefield May 8 — Malden Catholic May 11 — Woburn May 13 — Saugus May 15 — Winthrop May 18 — Arlington May 20 — Malden Catholic May 22 — Woburn May 24 — Watertown May 27 — Wakefield May 29 — Winthrop June 1 — Arlington June 8 — Alumni indicates league games (127) BOYS’ TENNIS TEAM With three veterans from last year’s squad and much promising material available, the net team should have another successful season. The prospects of winning the league title for the third time and thus retaining the cup are very good. Schedule April 30 — Lexington May j — Exeter Academy May 3 — Watertown Mav 6 — inchester May 7— Belmont May 9 — Newton May 10 — Winthrop May 11 Worcester Academy May- 1 4 — Arlington May 1 7- -Lexington May 21- Watertown May- 22- -Revere May 24- -Winthrop May 28 Belmont May 31- -Arlington June 1 — Groton Academy League (128) CROSS COUNTRY Last year, for the first time in the history of our school, Melrose High was represented by a cross-country team. The team made an exceptionally fine show- ing by winning four out of seven of its meets. It .defeated Beverly, Medford, Woburn, and Lynn English, and lost to Arlington, Stoneham, and Wakefield. This is a team the record of which we may be proud. By the showing made this year and by the interest shown towards this sport in the school, future cross- country teams should make even better records than that of 1934. Letters were awarded to the following : Capt. R. Snow, J. Davison, W. Mitchell, D. Houser and L. Donahue. (129) (ijo) TRACK TEAM Captain — Donald Washburn Coach — Leonard W. Clark As the Year Book goes to the printer, the track team is just beginning its season. With a veteran performer in nearly every event, besides a large group of promising new-comers, Coach “Doc” Clark and members of the s quad are look- ing forward to a highly successful season. Dual meets have been scheduled with Wakefield, Arlington, Woburn, an,d Beverly. Members of the squad will also compete in the Harvard Interscholastics, the State Meet at Newton, and a meet with the alumni. GOLF Captain — Harold Collins Coach — Raymond Grace Golf was a new sport at Melrose High this year, and with the great amount of interest shown, it will probably rank well up with all other sports in a very short time. Forty candidates turned out to try for the team, from which six reg- ular players and two alternates were chosen. We are greatly indebted to Mr. Robert Mosher, president of the Bellevue Coun- try Club, for his sincere aid and his great interest in the boys, and for allowing us to use the country club for our practice and our golf matches. If, at the end of the season, we have won half of our scheduled matches, we will feel that we had a successful season. W ith the great amount of interest al- ready shown in this new and difficult sport, Melrose High should do exceptional- ly well in the next few years. (132) GIRLS’ BASKETBALL Great interest has been shown in this popular sport. This year’s varsity squad is perhaps the largest ever to receive letters. This is because of the new system of no second team letters and the awarding of a letter to a girl who has played four years on the varsity squad. This last season may seem unsuccessful because of several defeats. However, the two victories plus the subdueing of the Alumnae show the real ability of the team. The lettermen are Captain and Cap- tain-elect Frances Hyland, Ethel Mosher, Marie Manzer, Betty DeNormandie, Esther Drew, Carol Grant, Jane Riddell, Sue D’Antilio, Dorothy Emery, Dorothy Sulkins, and Manager Alice Fay. Captain Hyland, Marie Manzer, Ethel Mosher, and Sue D’Antilio should form an excellent nucleus for a championship team next year. Again Miss Goss has lent her untiring services to form this fast and tricky aggregation. May the Melrose High School have championship teams in the years to come. The results of the games were : Melrose 14 Winchester 12 Melrose 9 Lexington 29 Melrose 12 Malden 22 Melrose 1 1 Arlington 25 Melrose 23 Belmont 14 Melrose 15 Alumnae 8 ( 33 ) FIELD HOCKEY Coach — Barbara Goss Captain — Jane Riddell Manager — Lucy Pray Spirit and sportsmanship were the outstanding features of. this year ' s team. Although starting out with a practically veteran team and then winning only one game, the members displayed teamwork worthy of mention. The varsity mem- bers left over from the first team, hoping for more favorable weather and longer practice sessions are Captain-elect Ethel Mosher, Frances Hyland, Janet Faden and Marie Manzer. To support them they have candidates from the second team. Others to receive letters at the formal assembly in March were Captain lane Riddell, Marion Richardson, Dorothy Sulkins, Dorothy Kile) ' , W inifred Tomes, Carolyn Toomev, Dorothy Preece, Esther MacKenzie and Manager Lucy Pray. I his is also a very appropriate place to extend to Miss Goss our sincere thanks and appreciation for her invaluable coaching during this last field hockey season. Not having set a record or example in games won for future groups to follow, the team therefore wishes them more luck and success than was our lot this season. (134) GIRLS’ TENNIS TEAM Since there are no tennis courts available as yet, the Girls’ Tennis team has not been able to make a start. However, the prospects tor this season are very good as there are five girls here who played on the team last year: Betty DeNor- mandie, Esther Drew, Janet Faden, Frances Hyland, an,d Ethel Mosher. The 1935 schedule includes matches with Malden, Concord, Winthrop, Arlington, Winchester, and Fexington. GIRLS’ BASEBALL So far this year about one hundred ten girls have signed up for baseball. Of these five girls have won letters. They are: Sue D’Antilio, Jane Riddell, Marion Richardson, Ellamae Russell, and Fida Hine. If all who have signed up report for practice, there will be quite a large group. Up to the present time, six games have been scheduled, one with Fexington, two with Winchester, two with Wellesley, and one with Arlington.

MARSHAL’S ADDRESS Parents, Teachers, and Friends: It is a privilege and a pleasure to extend to you this afternoon the cordial welcome of the class of 1935. Four years ago it seemed difficult to associate ourselves with this occasion, but nevertheless this event which marks the first great goal in our lives has finally arrived. With this fact in mind we cannot help but feel and express our most sincere appreciation to our parents, who have made many sacrifices for us, and to our teachers, who have labored unceasingly for us, to bring about the successful accomplishment of that which four years ago we undertook in a hesi- tating manner. I his afternoon we will present to you the most pleasurable side of our school life. It is our desire that this program will be to you a pleasing and enduring momento of the class of 1 935 - CLASS HISTORY Donald Foster As I gaze upon this magnificent auditorium, with all its architectural beauty, it becomes difficult to look back into those first days passed in the environs of that aged but imposing structure on Main Street, our former high school. Again, as I look upon the worldly and sagacious countenances of my dignified class- mates, it becomes, indeed, more difficult to visualize those shy, imprudent faces of our guileless freshman days. However, it is my duty to take you through the experiences of our class during the past four years, although I assure you I had no control over my selection as historian and furthermore do not profess to be one of wide ability. We entered upon our high school career as awkward and inconspicuous a horde as has ever descended upon that venerable seat of learning in the center of our city. Many of the boys were sporting their long trousers for the first time. The girls, not to be outdone, had their hair set in the latest Parisian style. There was also a noticeable elevation in the height of their heels. But much can be accomplished with raw material if there is willingness; and we were ambitious to make good — whatever our pedagogues may say to the contrary. After a few weeks of commotion, abuse, and embarrassment we had ac- climated ourselves to our new quarters. Soon there were only a few traces of the dense fog that had hovered over us since our entrance. Our minds were clearer. Our steps were surer. Once more we could add five and five without so much as a flinch, and spell receive and believe with the proper placing of the “I”. Once more we were walking, not with faltering steps, but with the precision and non- chalance of the surrounding upper classmen. Despite our anxiety to enter the various clubs we were restricted as Fresh- men to only a few. Several served ably on the Thrift Council. A number of the Thespian-minded members joined the Cloak and Plume Society, which under the guidance of Lewin Joel as president, had a most unusual season. This exclusive freshman society, exclusive in the sense that upper classmen were excluded, pro- vided one of the high-lights of our first year when it presented Six Who Pass While the Lentils Boil’’. This stimulating play presented the heroic efforts and stage-fright of the unfinished but zealous participants. Those of the cast espec- ially deserving of praise were Adrienne Thorn, a demure milk-maid, and Richard Greene, the capable keeper of the fire who, due to his most impressive and be- coming appearance in shorts, is said to have started the shorts craze that swept the country the following summer. Though they did not have the leads, several of the embryonic Carusos and Jenny Linds supplied the musical accompaniment in the operetta “Pinafore” pro- duced that year. In the field of athletics our teams did not distinguish themselves in the mat- ter of victories won, but there was a fine spirit of competition and an enthusias- tic turnout for every sport. With the dry and sultry winds of summer came the termination of our first year and the welcome vacation period. Excepting a few who had left school and others who had manifested their zeal for education to such an extent that they had succeeded in completing plans for a special five year course, we resumed our studies. Abounding with self-im- portance and pride, we cast our votes for class officers for the first time. Those (139) elected were president, Lew in Joel; vice-president, Jean Allanbrook; secretary Adrienne Thorn ; treasurer, Richard Monroe. The organizations that had been closed to us now solicited our interest. Many with a leaning for dramatics favored the “Masque and ig”. A number of the more mathematically inclined qualified for the Euclidean Society. The Hi-Y and Girls’ Club were well represented, while the Glee Club gained many of our songsters and songstresses. In the “Mikado” presented by this club two of the leading parts were capably assumed by Esther Drew and Betty DeNormandie. Thus, our first stage of development from the insignificant Freshman to the socially active Sophomore. Our Junior year was perhaps our most natural year. It was a happy medium between the simplicity of our first two years and the self-satisfaction of our last year. This year, as you will remember, we changed our residence from the old High School to this splendid, adequate building. Much to our chagrin, we were relegated to the same uncertainty of surround- ings as the incoming Freshmen. However, after a week or two of general con- fusion, we became acquainted with our new abode and settled down to our former peaceful state. We made an auspicious beginning by electing for class officers: president, Lewin Joel; vice-president, Priscilla Fillmore; treasurer, John Little; secretary, Jane Riddell. Before the end of the year plans were made for the annual Junior Prom. The committee chosen included Adrienne Thorn, Harold Reeves, Norman Rob- inson, and the four class officers. Though we didn’t have the distinction of be- ing the first class to graduate from the new school, we were the first class to hold its Junior Prom in the spacious new gym. The attractive decorations combined with fine musical arrangement made the event very successful. When the final reports were in, the Prom showed a profit of exactly twelve dollars and twelve cents — Pardon, Mr. Coding, if I am encroaching upon some of your choice fig- ures. For the social organizations the season was very satisfactory. The Masque and Wig Society made use of our new auditorium to present their highly praised production of Sutton Vane’s “Outward Bound”. Conspicuous among the cast were Frank Connor and Richard Greene. Later the Glee Clubs presented the operetta, “Cherry Blossom”. Esther Drew and Jacques Cunningham had leading roles. Toward the end of the year the various athletic teams elected their captains for the following year. T he captains elected among the boys were Norman Rob- inson, football; Stuart Thayer, hockey; Donald Foster, tennis; Henry Ingersoll, basketball ; and Donald Washburn, track. Among the girls, Jane Riddell was elected field hockey captain. The leaders elected among the clubs were John Little, Hi-Y ; Priscilla Fill- more, Girls’ Club; Donald Houser, Masque and Wig; and Josephine Clark, De- bating Club. Wesley Coding was appointed Editor-in-chief of “School Life”. After a restless summer we returned as domineering Seniors. As early as possible the class officers were chosen. For the third time Lewin Joel was given (140) the presidency. Priscilla Fillmore was chosen vice-president ; Jane Riddell, treasurer, and Betty Brown, secretary. In the middle of the year, work started on the year book under the efficient direction of Mr. Battles. Several committees for the editing of the book were chosen. The untiring efforts of the staff have been well rewarded, for the “Log” is unprecedented for unity of arrangement and novelty of style. Of the social highlights of the season “The Lucky Jade” was highly ap- preciated. Under the direction of Mr. Whalen, whose short stay with us has made such an impression, the popularity of our operetta was increased consid- erably. Jane Aechtler’s “mammy” singing was clever, while Betty DeNormandie’s interpretative French songs were something to write home about. The intense rivalry between Jacques Cunningham, the virtuous if bashful aviator, and Daniel Nugent, the ardent but insidious lover, was very amusing. Others in the cast were Phyllis Bryant, Marion Stevens, Esther Drew, Joseph White and Leo Dona- hue. Our talented Dramatic Club produced “The Admirable Crichton” by Sir James Barrie. Before a discriminating and responsive audience the fine acting in addtion to the natural scenic and lighting effects gave an exceptionally ar- tistic play. Janet .Maclachlan ’s unaffected portrayal of the English Lady won the highest commendation. Richard Greene and Frank Connor played their supporting roles with increased skill. The Masque and Wig also presented for the entertainment of the student body two plays, “The Bishop’s Candlesticks” and “Dust of the Road”. Our athletic teams were not teams of destiny. Team championships were noticeably absent. However, in individuals we had versatile champions of sport. Those deserving of mention are Henry Ingersoll, whose enthusiastic play in foot- ball and basketball leads the list; Wes Goding and Bill DeCoste, whose efforts in hockey gained them unanimous all-scholastic choices; Donald Washburn, whose winning leadership of the track team raised the team from a mediocre group ; and lastly, Phil Varney, whose play will be long remembered by the basketball fans. The appreciation of the athletes was demonstrated at the “Varsity Party”, an informal dance in honor of the year’s lett ermen. It w ' as put on by the newly formed “Varsity Club”, an organization composed of prominent letter winners. The bulk of the proceeds of this party was put toward our athletic scholarship. An organization of this type is very worthwhile, and it is hoped that the under- graduates will carry on the work. There, my friends, is the brief history of this celebrated class of 1935 of whom we are sure to hear more. STATISTICS Wesley Goding Hear Ye! Hear Ye! The town crier of 1935 will now give the facts and figures of the Melrose High School Senior Community. I will give you infor- mation never to he forgotten. It is enlightening to all and is based on our lives in this community. Our class has voted titles to certain of its members. These same titles will be carried forth by them into their new worlds. First I will give the interesting figures concerning height, weight, age, and size of shoes of our class. The average member is five feet seven inches tall, weighs one hundred and thirty pounds, wears shoes size six and three quarters, and is seventeen years five months of age. The total height of our class is one thousand and eighty-four feet and the total weight is twenty-five thousand nine hundred and ninety-one pounds. I will now start the momentous register which crowns our High School days. The first on the list is the one with the highest marks, the acme of scholarly per- fection, our valedictorian, our genius, Donald E. (Engineer) Houser. I present at this time the girl who has spent many long, hard hours on her studies. But she has proved that hard work brings results. Our salutatorian and most studious, Marguerite Woodill. We have now our most sociable members, friends of all, the ones who can always be counted on to lend a helping hand in distress. Their contributions have meant a great deal to the fellowship of our community. Allow me to present our most popular boy and girl, Lewin Joel and Priscilla Fillmore. And now for two who were blessed by Nature with supreme good looks. They represent our most beautiful girl and our most handsome boy — our best looking members, Anne Baker and Donald Foster. And now the boy who tries all the time To make up verses and produce a rhyme. The poet of the seniors, John Reynolds. We are very proud of our next two celebrities. They are the ones who have protected to a great extent our honor in the line of sports. Introducing our most athletic girl and boy, Jane Riddell and Henry fngersoll. Two more who have distinguished themselves in a different way are stars of the Masque and W ig Society. By their splendid acting, especially in the last play, Janet Maclacldan and Frank Connor have won the titles of class actress and actor. May 1 shift the scene now to any of the numerous dances in progress at this time of year? Swirling, hopping, dipping, and reeling to a thousand tunes are our best dancers, Betty DeNormandie and Otis Nelson. On the sidelines of this same dance sitting on opposite ends of the same bench are our most bashful boy and girl, Donald Washburn and Laura Mac- Donald. It we investigate a loud commotion at the entrance of the dance hall, we will see two boys trying to convince the ticket-taker that they had tickets but left them home. After a few minutes’ argument in walks Richard MacHugh, but the other boy, illiam DeCoste, walks disgustedly away. Introducing our most successful bluffer, Richard MacHugh, and our least successful, “Bill” DeCoste. (142) As an en“Gage”ing young couple go by, we hear sweet melodies from our class songstress, Jane Aechtler. There now passes by another young lady who seems to be “Alec ited. She is none other than our most impetuous and most excitable, Adrienne 1 horn. It is understood on reliable authority that definite attempts were made to have Alpo Regnell anti Pauline Cloues in attendance, but as our class woman-and man-hater, they refused to come. Two who are noticeable by their absence are our movie fans, Virginia Nourse and John Willey. Dancing gives way to the movies with them. During the spotlight dance, there seemed to be two lights. By a close exam- ination, however, we found that the second was only the radiation from the visage of our class blusher, Bernard O’Brien. In one corner we spy Betty DeNormandie surrounded by an array of atten- tive young men. Such is the penalty of being the class flirt. It would seem as though the other girls would be lacking entertainment under these conditions, but such is not the case. Any excess of the female sex is always taken care of by the ladies’ man, Bill DeCoste. As we prepare to leave the dance, whom should we see but Frank Connor, our least often on time, who is even late for a dance. In school he usually got in all right when he arrived late, but he had a much harder time getting out. We are offered a ride home from the dance by the inseparable pals, Fred Whipple and John Willey. After much consideration we accept a lift in the yel- low convertible whose origin has long been forgotten. We will now return to our community home. Our arrival back at M. H. S. is cheered by two smiling young people who await us on the steps. Spreading their abundant good humor over all they survey are our best-natured pair, Ruth Lent and Donald Foster. Allow me now to present the girl with the new ideas, the one who leads the new fads and fashions, the most original — Anna Noyes. Let us turn to one of our classrooms to see our remaining notables at work. The professor, perhaps Howard B. Wilder, historian, is expounding before his class. Says he, “Follow the example of our honorable leader, Abraham Lincoln, and you will succeed”. A voice is heard exclaiming from the back of the room, “That’s O. K but he was assassinated”. Meet Robert “Buck” MacHugh, the class wit ; he supplements his witty remarks by his humorous actions and there- fore has also earned the title of class clown. There comes the remark that no one would take the chance of getting in jail for just killing “Buck”. This is from a partner in crime, the most fastidious in the class of 1935, Howard Jones. Whereupon the class giggler, Virginia Haven, goes into a spasm such as she is noted for. One member now exclaims that Mr. Wilder is the easiest teacher that he has ever had. But don’t get excited; it’s only the class exaggerator, Jacques Cunningham. One who takes no part in such an idiotic discussion is that quiet man-hater again, now in the role of class saint, Pauline Cloues. The bell clangs for the start of recess. The class makes a dash for the door — that is, the class with the exception of two, Gloria Blair, our most composed member, who does not get excited at anything, including the start of recess, and our most dignified member, Virginia Rufle, who haughtily disdains to join in any rush, preferring to wait until the turmoil has died down. (143) Now I shall announce to you our favorite things in other lines. Our favor- ite sport is swimming. Our favorite recreation is dancing. History draws first choice as the favorite study. Beech-nut is our favorite gum and Coca-Cola our favorite drink. Our favorite flower is the rose and our favorite color is blue. W e boys try to be gentlemen, even though we prefer brunettes. Thus 1 conclude our noteworthy register. I trust you have enjoyed and ap- preciated it. (144) PROPHECY Janet Maclachlan ( Enter a gypsy fortune-teller, colorfully garbed and carrying a red bandanna filled with leaves ) Oh, here you are! What luck to find you all together and waiting for me ! ( Glancing at her dusty clothes) How 1 look! All you dearies will have to excuse it, for I’ve come a long way, and the dust of the trip still clings to my skirts. The summer caravan has already moved northward, and I had to come on horseback over the rough roads. But I just had to get here ! Last night I was lying by the brook listening to the messages of the running water, when some- thing whispered to me, “They want you; you must be up and going! “Who wants me?” I asked, and this answer came back on the evening breeze: “By the stars of the tail of the Lion, shall you start; follow the Scorpion to where Orion ' s belt makes a path across the sky ; and when Phoebus follows in the wake of Aurora, go south and the rising sun will guide you to your destination. By a lake, a drop of a lake, shall you find them, a group of young people about to set out in life. You must not disappoint them. They will be waiting, eagerly wait- ing, for otherwise no prophetess shall they have, and now is the time when know they must what fate holds for them in the world beyond.” When I heard this, I drew my gazing crystal to me, and with it and other mystic lore that only gypsies know, I spent the early hours of darkness setting- down on leaves the futures of each one of you. You see, I have them here in my bandanna,. ( holds it up). Wouldn’t you all like to hear about a few of them? ( cries of “Yes! Yes!”). I know what I’ll do, I’ll not only tell you what many of your classmates are doing ten years hence, but we’ll take a little trip and see them in action. It is the year 1945 ! There are some of course that remain here in your own city. On the High School staff, Jane Riddell and Alice Fay manage the girls’ Gym classes, which probably accounts for all the championship teams. Marion Sherman and Carolyn Nutter are two efficient members of the faculty, and Jean Josltn gives a good Home Economics course. Ervin Welch taught chem- istry for a time, but now has gone into private research. Barbara Miller, with her training in dietetics runs the lunchroom, and you should see the hordes of well-fed Freshmen ! Then on we go to see the new shops along the main street of your now fair city. An interior decorating establishment has been opened by Robert Hupper, and draws the patronage of many surrounding cities. At first he employed James Rinn to scout through old farm houses and pick up antiques, but when he returned with the genuine bridge lamp used by George Washington, it was the last straw. And the “farmer” who sold it to him: — you knew him as Freddie Chapman. Next door to this is the shop of Katharine Pidgeon, Thelma Hatch, and Barbara Robbins, where they conduct, in connection with their well-known Bird Store, a reform school for profane parrots. The Marjorie Knit Shop with Marjorie Kelley and Marjorie Niles, head nit-wits, is one of the newer and more successful in its line. Yes, the ladies of J 945 are s tiH knitting, which all goes to prove you can’t keep a good thing down. Marjorie MacLean and Marjorie Cattley are instructors, and assistants are Marjorie Baillie, Marjorie Tappan, and Marjorie Rogers. They have re- centlv designed the Marjorie Sport Sweater which has made the old Brooks style definitely passe. By the way, speaking of Brooks, Eleanor Rowe is doing very well in that line. And now the new Melrose Public Library! The plans for this splendid edi- fice which aldermen Washburn and Kirkpatrick worked so hard to put through, were roughly sketched by Donald Houser in the time he could spare from the new tunnel he is building under Ell Pond. Leonard Blanchard put the finishing touches on this plan and executed the building project. The murals in the childrens’ room were done by Edith Behnke and Genevieve Clark. They started their careers as prominent mural decorators back in Room 205. Alma Sullivan is head librarian, and Laura MacDonald, Dorothy Sulkins, and Virginia Critchett are her able assistants. Turning now to the Melrose Hospital we find a new wing under construction — things are still going up in Melrose! This wing was donated by John Little, millionaire shoe-string manufacturer — not the only man who started on a shoe- string. It has been given over wholly to a children’s department, under the su- pervision of Gertrude Powers and her nurses, Barbara Semple and Eleanor Sparling. Helen Kiernan has complete charge of the operating room, so of course her pal, Gladys Marriette, handles office work. It is in this hospital that Dr. Richard Greene daily performs miracles in the field of surgery. James Smith and Margaret Rourke are also connected with this hospital, but they have private practices to attend to as well. The last picture we have before we leave Melrose is of a private school and kindergarten combined, run by Faith Hopkins and Virginia Burchstead. This select school has among its teachers, Constance Foster, Mary Calt, Betty Bowditch, and Dorothy Preece while the Whitmore sisters give a secretarial course. One of the small pupils in the kindergarten is little Sandy Spencer, Jr., a dead ringer for his dad ! If I can tear you away, we will turn now to Boston, the state capitol, where we find many of your classmates in the legislature. Governor, Lewin Joel, who certainly has made a good executive during his term, is now up for re-election. Harold Reeves is his right hand man, and incidentally the ghost writer of most of those eloquent speeches. “Bill” Noonan, Paul Millane, and Alpo Reg- nell are outstanding filibusters. You all remember Huey Long in the good old days, don’t you? Marguerite Woodill is Commissioner of Education. Can you doubt it after the research work she did for the Salutatory? The president of the board of trade is Stowe Sayward and Frances Gorman is chairman of board of labor, a suitable namesake of the Francis J. Gorman of textile union fame. The government reforestation project is being ably handled by William McClintock and of course Howard Jones. Their efficiency expert is Phillip Varney who does an excellent job at keeping other people at work. Much is also being done in the line of social service throughout the state. “Ruthie” Lent, you all remember her, has developed into an exceptional worker in this field. At present she is interested in the Gould Orphanage where Janice Gould revolutionizes the usual conception of an orphan asylum. Her motto is “a chicken for every pot and a dog for every inmate”. She hires Nancy Leib to ex- ercise the dogs. Bessie Layton is an instructor in music and Dr. Gerald Tav- ener, noted psychiatrist, analyzes the problem children when he isn’t off deliver- ing lectures somewhere. Jean Allanbrook places the children in desirable homes — a most fascinating work as she will tell you herself. One of the outstanding newspapers in New England is the “Greater Boston Journal”, edited by your former Statistician, W esley Coding. Of course, Anne (46) Baker writes the beauty column and in addition, Dorothy C henry manages the society page, Bud Foster, the sports column, and Norman Robinson, the advice to the lovelorn. Fred Whipple is the star reporter but a certain young lady with an equally keen nose for the sensational in newspaper work is Adrienne Thorn. “Bob” Joslin and Albert Hutton run the feature comic strip. “Al” thinks up all the ideas and “Bob” puts them down in black and white — quite a system ! The legal suits against the paper are handled by three women lawyers, Pauline Cloues, Eleanor Searle, and Mary Clark. Consid- ering how often an action is brought against a newspaper nowadays, along with their secretaries Elizabeth Brennan, “DoF’ James, and Mildred Culver, they have a busy job of it. Strange to say, Richard Monroe is circulating manager, and Bob Zurbach is the editor of a rival paper — they would ! The School of Charm attended by all the fashionable young ladies of Back Bay is conducted by a few of the more attractive members of your class. On the board of trustees you will recognize such names as Helena King, Winifred Tomes, Dorothy Kiley, Carolyn Toomey, and “Gere” Maguire. The in- structor of ballroom dancing is Helena Mullen, and the art teacher, Jane Knoblock. Do you wonder that the graduates they turn out are perfect ex- amples of poise ? A paper boy is shouting the praises of the latest Saturday Evening Post. The attractive cover was designed by Marynoye: Kellogg who draws most of them now. When we observe that most of her subjects are pretty brunettes, we can’t help wondering whether she gets her inspirations from the mirror. The im- posing position of first place in this issue has been given over to a short story by John Gillingham and illustrated by Margaret McNamara. If you recall, John always did have the knack of writing short stories. There is a sports write- up from the collaborating pens of Henry Ingersoll and “Bill” DeCoste, and we notice an incidental poem entitled “Have a Cupcake”. Need you ask the au- thor? “Jo” Clark, of course! A short biographical sketch of the famous poet, John Reynolds will relieve your minds. I bet most of you thought he would take to the calling of chef seriously after the “Admirable Crichton”. An ad on one of the back pages reads as follows: Larkin’s products, jams, jellies, pre- serves — known the world over — They last from June to June! Back down town in Boston on hearing the Filenes’ chimes, we are reminded of Priscilla Fillmore who uses all the reserve and tact she used to display, as director of personnel in this firm. Charlotte Ingram recently took over the buying for this same store. Charlotte introduced a new hair style a few years ago, the Ingram bob, not to be confused with the shave of the same name. “Kay” Murray and Carol Grant plan the unique fashion shows. Their models are Gloria Blair, Betty Stone, and Esther Drew. Before leaving Boston, let us take a glimpse of Symphony Hall where Jane Aechtler, soloist, and Dorothy Churchill, violinist, are booked on a return engagement. Signs — No Seats — Standing Room Only — already adorn the en- trances. Yes, and see the billboards are announcing that “Bob” Burwen’s or- chestra, in which Jean Marr, Margaret Lang, Richard Perry, ami Barbara Stanley play, is also returning at an early date. On to New York! How many of you have sought your fortunes here! A travel agency which plans trips to all corners of the earth is in the able hands of Louise Holland and Anna French. They have just recently engaged a pas- sage to Italy for Mary Sherman, Virginia Nourse, and Dorothy Richardson They are now en route to Florence, having accepted Miss Kershaw’s invitation to spend the winter with her in Rome and Sicily. And what would New York be without the theatre? Just as Broadway means the theatre, so musical revues signify such names as Betty DeNormandie, Marion Stea ' exs, and “Joe” White, famous crooner. Virginia Rufle designs most of the different-looking scenery used for dramatic effects. The expression sets by Rufle” has become the slogan of a colorful performance. The MacHugh brothers’ comedy team is creating much favorable comment; they still have a flare for amusing the public. Lithgow V illiams, a little case of inversion for stage purposes, is starring in Noel Coward’s latest and, although professional hockey claimed “Stuie” Thayer for a time, he now divides his time between his job as publicity manager for that famed matinee idol, Frank Connor, and a cer- tain penthouse overlooking the East River. Conspicuous among the designers that cater to the actress as well as the people who attend the theaters are Betty Brown and Anna Noyes who have set up in business together. Anna designs the more exotic and glamorous while Betty sticks to the practical — a Jack-Sprat-and-his-wife combination. Phyllis True, their business head, will assure you all summer creations are guaranteed washable. All fabrics used by the girls are treated by the new method of dyeing perfected by Betty Greene, Harry Black, Isabelle Gray, and William White. Well children! that is all for now.

Woodii.l S alutatorian Donald Houser Valedictorian Charlotte Ingram Essayist ( 5 7) SALUTATORY Marguerite Woodill As we, the class of 1935, see the familiar faces of friends and parents in this audience, we are indeed happy to welcome you all here this evening. Al- though we may not always have shown our appreciation for all that has been (done for us, we now realize that it is to you, our parents and friends, our teachers, our principal and our superintendent, and our school committee, that ws are indebted for the facilities of learning which have been placed at our disposal. We want you to know that these past four years of high-school life have meant a great deal to us, and that they represent a period in our lives that we shall not readily for- get. We are glad, then, that you, who have made these days memorable, can be present with us to share our joy in graduation. Changing Aims of Public Education In conjunction with the celebration of the three hundredth anniversary of the Boston Latin School, it is only fitting that on this occasion of our graduation we should speak briefly about the growth of American schools, whose benefits we have received for the past twelve years. Indeed, the whole educational system has changed so radically in the span of three centuries that if one of our stern Puritan ancestors were to visit the schools today, he would scarcely recognize this fruitful tree grown from the seed he planted three hundred years ago. Especially has it changed its aims and broadened them out to meet the increasing demands of progress. Yet this development has been so gradual that we can easily follow it step by step from its earliest beginnings to its present advancement. Journey back with me for a few moments to one of the early Colonial towns. Historians tell us that these Puritans were conscientious, upright people, moti- vated by the highest ideals. It is in keeping with their character, then, that soon after establishing themselves in the new world, they should take steps to provide for the education of their children. For the older boys they had their grammar schools, about which I shall speak directly. But meanwhile what about the little tots? It was thought advisable that children should learn to read and write at a very early age ; hence the Dame School came into prominence. This was an elementary school for the small children between the ages of four and eight, con- ducted by one of the women of the colony, who had acquired the rudiments of education in her youth and who now desired to earn a meager living. There would be perhaps six or seven small children gathered round their mistress in either her kitchen or parlor, struggling hard with what commonly came to be known as the three R’s — reading, ' riting, and ’rithmetic. All of this very elementary education merely provided a basis for higher learning for those boys entering the Latin grammar school. These grammar schools, as their name implies, taught Latin and Greek exclusively. It is no won- der, then, that the day often seemed long and monotonous. Yet the elders deemed that a knowledge of Greek and Latin was essential for one who was to enter the ministry. It is evident, therefore, that all boys were sent to the Latin grammar school with the intention of being trained for the ministry. No other profession was thought worthwhile, for with these hardy people religion came first. Fortunately for those boys who detested Greek and Latin, from which there was no possible escape so long as they attended public school, some of the more practical men of the colonies conceived the idea that it would do the. children no harm to learn a little about commerce and industry. Since the public schools did (.58) not offer such courses, this group had to resort to private schools, where the stu- dents were taught such subjects as banking and trading. Since these were very exclusive schools, only the well-to-do could attend ; hence this existence was of short duration. Although this type of private school was supported by only a small group, it had a special significance, for it really was the fore-runner of the Amercan acad- emy. After more than a century had passed in the new land, a great many changes had taken place, especially in the field of industry. Therefore, men like Benjamin Franklin were steering away from the idea that Greek and Latin were the only essentials to be taught in school, and that the ministry was the only profession to follow. Moreover, the control of the schools was now shifting from the clergy to rising industrial and commercial executives. It is for these reasons, therefore, that the American academy sprang up. Like the Latin gram- mar schools, it prepared students for college ; but it did more than that. It so broadened its course of instruction that boys received such a vocational training that they could earn a good living without further education. Because tradition is very hard to break away from, Greek and Latin still headed the list of the cur- riculum ; but sciences, music, navigation, geography, philosophy, surveying, and such subjects were also being taught. Consequently, a far more practical educa- tion could be secured from these academies than from the Latin schools. Although Franklin’s Academy was founded with the intention of giving to the people generally the more practical training that the private schools were giv- ing to a selected group, this fine democratic idea was in reality merely a theory ; for only those .who could afford to pay tuition were admitted to the academies. Actually, there was a dual system of education in America at this time. It was generally thought that secondary education and the academies were for the priv- ileged classes only ; the common people had to be content with an elementary edu- cation. To a certain extent, this was not only general opinion, but it was the ac- tual state of affairs. For a while people were satisfied with this idea that higher education was for the privileged classes only. But around 1820 public sentiment began to change, and in protest against this policy, people now urged that the common schools extend their educational program so that all, rich and poor alike, might receive sufficient training for earning a good living. These people finally won their hard-fought battle. Perhaps one important reason was the dividing of the funds by the states. Formerly, they had contributed to the support of schools con- ducted by various churches; but this practice brought about so much jealousy that the state compromised, giving all their funds toward one common school, to be supported by and controlled by the state. Even after the people did get their publicly supported higher schools, they ,did not cease to complain. With the advent of public schools, the instruction shifted from religious to national and democratic ends. A general outcry that the public schools were godless schools was calmly met by Horace Mann, who in- sisted that any attempt to dictate what creed should be taught would be the ruin of the schools. Fortunately, these efforts to re-instate religious teaching into the schools failed miserably. One important feature to note about 1 the advent of public schools is the rise of democracy. There are three distinct periods of American education : ( 1 ) the Colonial period, when the Latin grammar schools answered the educational needs of a society based on classes; (2) a transitional period, in which the academies marked the growth of a middle class; and (3) that period beginning with the sec- ond quarter of the nineteenth century and continuing up to the present, when the (« 59 ) people demanded and obtained the high school, supported by the public and open to all giving equal educational opportunity to a new society based on rising de- mocracy. Since the public high school first originated in America over a hundred years ago, there have been countless changes. While the primary purpose of the schools is still to teach young people how to fit themselves for earning their own living, the other aims have been considerably broadened. Formerly every stu- dent took up much the same course. Now, however, supervisors are paying more attention to the individual and are continually endeavoring to suit the needs of each pupil. To do this a more varied program is provided. Besides introduc- ing such unusual courses as automobile repairing, radio broadcasting, and jour- nalism, school authorities are placing a great deal of emphasis on extra-curricular activities — sports, music, clubs, and the like. How different are all these ideas of what children should learn at school from the Puritan conception of school life! Modern educators have adopted the philosophy that more can be learned from activities in school than from books and have put this theory into practice. The idea of training students to become better citizens is not new, but different tactics have been used. In the old days the pupils would sit in front of the pro- fessor, listening while he drilled them on ethics. Now the students themselves are allowed to participate to a large extent in school affairs, on the assumption that experience is the best teacher. In many schools the system of student gov- ernment is carried on effectively, and even in our own school we have the prac- tice of voting by ballot. This same idea of learning by personal experience is also carried out in reg- ular school work. Teachers have found that practical application of knowledge is more effective than classroom drill. Taking charge of school banks and hand- ling authentic currency, helping to build additions onto buildings, actually survey- ing land, handling projection machines, caring for school grounds — these are only a few instances of what pupils are capable of doing themselves. In former days it was not unusual for a boy to obtain such practical train- ing as an apprentice to some eminent tradesman of the town. Because this sys- tem was abolished and because the age limit of education was increased, trade schools soon came into prominence, giving to young people more generally what apprenticeships gave to individuals. Here boys and girls find that they can learn such interesting trades as photography, dyeing, printing, mechanics, agriculture, and scores of others. These trade schools have done a wonderful piece of work in keeping uneasy hands busy and out of mischief. This somewhat sketchy outline of the changing aims of public education may be summed up briefly. The first schools were to prepare boys for college, where they would study for the ministry. The academy was an improvement on the first schools, for it gave students a far more practical training and enabled them to earn a good living without necessarily taking up the ministry. The aims of the modern school are as complex as the social and economic problems which bring them about. The schools wish to prepare boys and girls for some vocation; but more than that, they aim to train students to become fine, upright citizens, so that they may carry on the affairs of their country in accordance with its stan- dards. But what about the future? Nobody knows definitely. We have seen how the present-day schools have met the complex social and economic condi- tions ; just as these conditions will become even more complex in the future, so the aims of tomorrow’s school will be broadened in accordance. But let us hope that whatever may be the aims of the schools of tomorrow, they may be fulfilled as successfully and as competently as those of the past and present have been. (160) ESSAY Charlotte Ingram Text-books of Yesteryear To-night let us take a trip into the past, and visit some of the classrooms of yesterday. Possibly such a trip will make us more aware of our own good for- tune and more grateful for the untiring work of our great educators an,d inven- tors. The first school we shall visit is the little log-cabin school typical of the early eighteenth century. Here we find the smaller children repeating their a — b — c’s from the hornbook. This is a small sheet of printed paper fastened to a thin piece of board and covered with a sheet of horn, a material resembling cel- luloid. The purpose of the horn, to use the quaint expression of the period, is “To save from fingers wet the letters fair”. The hornbook contains capital and small letters, vow ' els and Roman numerals, the Benediction of the Lord’s Prayer. Religion is stressed above everything else in these early schools. The text-book equipment is, of necessity, very meager, and the average schoolboy is equipped only wit h a catechism, primer, psalter, and Testament or Bible. The New England Primer, one of the most important books of the time, is almost entirely religious, containing the Psalms, Creeds, and other Christian knowledge, together with verse and prose of a religious and moral nature. The covers are of thin oak, often cracked and badly splintered, and we see that many of the books are worn and defaced. Ye learn also that the text-books have been handed down from generation to generation, and as a result, quite frequently no two pupils have the same book from which to study. Most of the pupils are equipped with so-called ciphering books, blank books made of a quire of paper which has been folded together and sewed at home. A few are crudely bound in cloth or cardboard. We notice that the master has his own, carefully preserved from his student days, from which he sets down sums for his pupils. The correctness of the pupil’s answers is judged by their conform- ity to the answers in the teacher’s journals. As we glance over his shoulder, we note that several of the answers in his book are inaccurate, an eloquent commen- tary on the low educational standard of the period. Let us now continue on our way, and visit next a class room of 1790, just after the close of the Revolutionary War. We notice, first of all, that many text- books of American authorship have now come into existence. The most prom- inent book of this little school in Webster’s “Old Blue Back”, the fore-runner of our modern dictionary. This book serves the triple purpose of speller, reader, and moral guide, and derives its name from the coarse blue paper on which it is printed. The ink varies from muddy black to faint illegibility, and is very hard on the eyes. An interesting feature of the “Old Blue Back” is a moral catechism ; another part of the book consists of short stories illustrating a moral ; and there is a rather amusing chapter entitled, “Precepts Concerning Social Relations”, which contains this very helpful bit of advice to young women : “Be cautious in listening to the addresses of men. Is thy suitor addicted to low vices? is he profane? is he a gambler? a tippler? a spendthrift? a haunter of taverns? and, above all, is he a scoffer at religion? — Banish such a man from thy presence, his heart is false, and his hand would lead thee to wretchedness and ruin”. The book closes with a group of fables which the younger pupils read for their guidance. In these fables, it is interesting to mark how promptly and se- (161) verely evil is punish ed, and how quickly and decisively good is rewarded. Amaz- ing reforms take place almost over night, but, although everything is exaggerated, the moral is always good and doubtless accomplishes much in the right direction. During this period, spelling bees are at the height of popularity, and it is the aim of every student to be called a good speller. Another book in great demand is “Pike’s Arithmetic”, a small, leather-bound book, poorlv printed, but fairly accurate. The problems are quite different from those to which we are accustomed. For instance, “How many minutes since the commencement of the American W ar, on April 19, 1775?’ ' Another example de- signed to cause a student many anxious moments is this: “9 gentlemen sat at an inn and were so pleased with their host and with each other, that, in a frolic, they agreed to tarry as long as they, together with their host, could sit every day in a different position; prav how long, had they kept their agreement, would their frolic have lasted?” On looking over the books, we find that the young ladies are prone to writ- ing sentimental verses on the covers such as, “To Ellen : Many, many a voice will greet me, In a low and gentle tone, But its music will not cheer me Like the cadence of thine own. A Friend”. After glancing through one of the books, we conclude that times do not really change much after all, and that youth has used the same devices for arous- ing curiosity since time began. For here, in this olden book, we find the follow- ing verse : “If my name you wish to see, Look on page 103”. then, “If my name you cannot find, Look on page 109”. After chasing all the way through the book, we learn from another pert jingle that we would not want to know it anyway. On the fly-leaf of another book is this admonition : “Steal not this book, my honest friend, For fear the gallows will be your end, The gallows is high, the rope is strong, To steal this book you know is wrong”. The first geographies are just making their appearance, and we discover that these books contain very little real geographical information. There are two very strange-looking maps, and some descriptions of the states, the territories, the eastern hemisphere, and the islands off the South American coast. These ac- counts are neither complete nor reliable, and, in reality, the book is only a mis- cellany of general information, including much natural history. There are many colorful traveler’s tales taken from newspapers and various other sources which, if not entirely authentic, at least prove to be interesting reading matter. The books themselves are small, and the bindings are of leather or wood. In spite of the crudeness and unreliability of these early geographies, they served admirably in introducing an important subject. It is easy to see that religious predominance in education has diminished. This period marks a time of diversified religious opinions, rapid development of national life, and greater demand ’or freedom of thought, and the educational courses have been adjusted to meet the changing conditions. Again let us bridge the space of fifty years or more, and visit a classroom of 1840. Although there are still many peculiarities, we perceive a very decided improvement in the text-books of this period. The teachers are well educated and methods of teaching have improved. Although the sale of Webster’s “Old Blue Back is still unabated, we find that Webster’s dictionary is rapidly taking its place. The dictionary has done much to unify the spelling of words and counteract vulgarisms in pronunciation. Several spelling books are now in use. One contains, in addition to the spelling, the Constitutions of the United States and Massachusetts, the Declara- tion of Independence, and W ashington’s “Farewell Address”. The borders of another are embellished with selected proverbs and maxims. In a third book, the author has spelled every word as incorrectly as ingenuity could devise. We are informed that the purpose of this book is to stimulate the pupil to look up the correct spelling of the words in his dictionary. It would seem, nevertheless, that such a medley of mistakes could accomplish nothing and would confuse even the best spellers. We find many books written upon the importance of good manners. The titles of some of these are “Awkwardness in Company”, “Rules of Moderating Our Anger”, and “The Character of a Truly Polite Man”. There are also many books upon the art of speaking and reading. The following extract will serve to illustrate how complete were the instructions for correct expression : “You see a little round dot, once in a while as you read. It means that you should let your voice fall, as if you were done reading, and stop while you could say — 1, 2, 3, 4. Thus: ‘Lot is dead. 1, 2, 3, 4. He died last night. 1, 2, 3, 4. His mother, 1 his old mother is sick. 1, 2, 3, 4’. This little dot is called a period”. Some of the school masters drilled grammar into their pupils by the use of a paddle, and others were known to call a child in from play upon finding a grammatical error in his work, and refuse him further recreation until he found a mistake in another scholar’s paper. Then the process was repeated. Geography is an important study, and many excellent text-books are now on the market. Maps are prominent, and illustrations profuse. Many authors arouse the pupil’s interest by inserting in the text little rhymes, such as, “America (our native) streams, Shall first awhile become our themes, Both lakes and rivers, great and small, Which in th ' Atlantic Ocean fall”. Railroads are mentioned for the first time in Woodridge’s “Universal Geography” published in 1833. He said: “A plan has recently been invented for constructing roads with iron bars, or railways, on which the wheels of the carriages run so easily that they may be drawn from 15 to 30 miles an hour, by means of locomotive steam engines”. In our present day and age, the startling speed of thirty miles an hour is considered scarcely a snail’s pace, but, in 1833, such remarkable speed was quite unheard-of. About this time, books began to multiply rapidly, and new subjects such as (163) botany, geology, philosophy and economics were added to the regular school cur- riculum. Since 1850, authors and publishers have combined to offer the splendid sup- ply of text-books we now have at our command. The early text-books did not form an important element in the education of youth, and much of the hard work and responsibilit of teaching fell upon the teacher. Modern text-books have made such marked advances, however, that students depend upon their books as their chief guides, and turn to the teacher only for supplementary information and helpful advice. Text-books of by-gone davs merely presented a statement of the subject, whereas modern text-books present the necessary material in such an in- teresting way that pupils often absorb much valuable information without being aware of it. The modern text-book is a teacher of teachers ; it is a treasure house from which students of all ages can draw an inexhaustible supply of knowledge to help them in their daily living. (164) VALEDICTORY Donald Houser The Support of Public Education It is indeed impressive to gaze about this wonderful school building, to ob- serve this large graduating class, and to contemplate the extensive education which we have received entirely at public expense, for by so doing we can ac- quire an excellent conception of the marvelous extension in a single century of the social vision of the American people. However, the extent of modern public education is perhaps less important than the fact that these educational facilities are available to rich and poor alike, the expense being borne by the general popu- lation instead of by individuals. For the purpose of contrast, therefore, let us first consider the condition existing three centuries ago when the idea of a pub ' lic ly supported educational system had been but recently conceived in the minds of intelligent men. Naturally, one of the greatest problems which has continually confronted public-school administrators is that of financial support. Although a few small schools were sponsored in the early Colonial days principally by the Church, by charitable societies, or by the co-operative efforts of several families, popular ed- ucation in the modern sense was as foreign to the early, colonists as the idea of a democratic government. The early apprenticeship laws passed by many colonies, while representing a definite step toward the modern trend of compulsory educa- tion, did not provide for a publicly financed educational system, for the question of support was left wholly to the individual. The first actual milestone in our educational history was reached when, in 1635, the town of Boston established the Boston Latin school, the first high school in the new world, the three hundredth anniversary of which was celebrated only a few months ago. This famous school was publicly supported by funds raised by the town of Boston and its primary aim was to prepare boys for college. A second great step in educational advancement was made when several col- onies, beginning with Massachusetts, passed legislation establishing elementary and grammar schools of various types, to be supported, in most cases, by the town in which the school was located. Because the colonial legislature failed to prescribe a method of raising the necessary funds, the Massachusetts law did not receive the necessary support and soon became obsolete. However, the spark of desire for a publicly supported educational system, once having been ignited, was not easily extinguished and flared up again some years later at the , dawning of the district school era. By the beginning of the eighteenth century, several of the colonies had made provisions for district schools, which were supported by various methods. In some colonies, public land was reserved for the sole purpose of supporting schools in the district ; other colonies left the matter of support to local units. In the latter case either the total expense of the school was divided among the popula- tion, or part of the fund was supplied by the population, the balance being re- ceived in the form of small tuition fees or donations. Thus you see that the schools of the early eighteenth century were in reality semi-public schools, for they were only partially supported and partially controlled by the public. However, the independence of the United States completely changed the school situation. By one of the first measures of the newly established Federal Congress, the government of the United States recognized the necessity and de- (165) sirability of a publicly supported system of schools, for the Northwest Ordin- ance of 1785 granted one thirty-sixth of all public land of the Northwest terri- tory for school purposes. This act marked the beginning of the policy of both the Federal and State governments of granting land for the support of public schools. ery soon therefore, many of the states passed hills which not only granted pub- lic lands to support elementary and grammar schools, but also aided certain ap- proved academies in the same manner. In order to receive a state grant, it was necessary that the academy should possess a certain prescribed permanent endow- ment. As a corollary to this new system of school support, many states began to establish common state school funds which were built up in subsequent years by the proceeds from the sale of public land, by lotteries, and by the income of bank stock. These various state funds were substantially increased by the addition of the state’s share of the surplus revenue of the United States treasury. The methods of distributing these common funds varied, naturally, in the several states, but generally speaking, the income was apportioned to the various towns on the basis of population, the town, in turn, being obliged to raise a sum equal- ing that received from the common fund. Not many years passed, however, before the more intelligent men began to realize that the common state fund as a method of public school support was rapidly becoming inadequate, and that the only way of supporting a state-wide system of schools would be to levy a general and direct tax on all property. Be- fore any population would deliberately increase their own tax burden, it had to be proved that the public school system was essential to the common welfare. For this reason, the development of the direct-tax system was extremely r slow. Strangely enough, the new system was first put into operation in cities or even a single ward or district of a city where the tax burden would naturally already be heavy. Wherever found, the system represented a distinct advance in the think- ing of the people. Gradually these small unit systems were consolidated into the general city, country, and state educational organization of today. The idea underlying all general taxation is that of a pooling of effort and resources for the provision and maintenance of schools for the good of all. Therefore each increase in the size of the unit, as district to city, city to county, and county to state, represents a district advantage, for the money is coming from a larger area, and those sections which are naturally poor can benefit by the prosperity of their neighbors. You can readily see, therefore, that the educational opportunities of poor city sections and rural districts have been tremendously increased by the adoption of our modern system of support. Today, some form of state tax for schools is found in nearly every state, al- though the extensive use of the state unit system has not yet been accomplished. For instance, taking the United States as a whole, 16% of all school money is provided by the state, 1 3 v by county taxation, and the remainder is raised by taxation within the city or school district. As you see, the burden still rests heav- ily on the local unit, a fact true especially of our own state of Massachusetts. In practically every system, however, the actual cost of erecting and maintaining school buildings is left wholly to the local unit. During the last few years, there has developed a growing trend toward a slightly different form of taxation for school support, which is intended to re- duce the tax burden of the average citizen. In order to reduce the per capita cost of schools, this modern plan necessitates larger taxing units and a greater propor- tion of state aid. The burdens of taxation on real and personal property have (166) been somewhat reduced by taxing, either directly or indirectly, all forms of wealth and income which the state possesses. In regard to the future support of public education in the United States, there is certainly no doubt but that with the ever changing social, industrial, aryl economic conditions of our country, the education of our people will become an ever increasing interest of the state and national government, so that the time may not be very far distant when we shall see the education of the American peo- ple completely controlled and supported by the Federal Government. Mr. Sup erintendent and Members of the School Board : We, the class of 1935, wish at this time to express our sincere appreciation of the opportunities which we have enjoyed in Melrose High School. We are truly proud to take our place this evening in the evergrowing ranks of Melrose High School graduates. Mr. Principal and Members of the Faculty. We are not unmindful of the fact that it is your efforts which are largely responsible for our graduation tonight. Although we have often failed to show our appreciation of your exertions in our behalf, we now realize the sincerity of your interest in us, and we shall ever strive in the future to justify your con- fidence. Classmates : Having journeyed together for several years, we have reached at last the great fork of the road, from which we must continue on alone, each in his own direction. Undoubtedly, we shall encounter many new and strange adventures, some interesting and enjoyable, others difficult and disagreeable. May we all profit by our associations of the past, and be guided by the experience acquired on the road which lies behind. Henceforth, may our conduct on the highway of life be always such as will fully justify the hopes of those who have thus far safely guided us on our journey.
