Melrose Public Library Melrose, Massachusetts APPRECIATION The 1939 Log has been compiled for everyone in- terested in Melrose High School. It has been the aim of the staff t(j publish a book that will portray high school life and activities in the truest i)ossible man- ner, and to j)icture the high school as it really is. If these aims have been achieved to anv extent, it is due to the cooperation of the student body, the fac- ulty, the advertisers, the photographers, and the print- ers. The Log Staff wishes to extend its deepest appre- ciation to Mr. Stanley C. Battles, our ever helpful guide and adviser; to Miss Goodrich, our art instruc- tor, for her invaluable guidance in designing; to Miss Griffin and the students of her Office Practice class for typing the coi y ; and to Ivan Burney, our photo- grapher, whose unusually interesting pictures add en- joyment t(j this Year Book.

It would be an impossible task to count the number of girls who have been inspired as well as entertained by Girls’ Club programs. d ' he Program Committee under the leadership of Ifthel Harden and Beatrice Flagg has made the meetings most enjoyable by their choice of speakers. Mr. Sprague, Mr. Wilder, Miss Putnam, and Mrs. Stewart of Malden were among them. d ' he “Kids’ Party”, held in October brought back the costumes, hair-does, and games of by-gone days. One of the most entertaining meetings was the “Professor Quiz Night” in which Professor Quiz, better known as Air. Carney, forced ten faculty members, five Hi-Y and five Girls’ Club members to confess all . . . they knew. Mr. Whalen has Girls’ Club to thank for the feminine lead in “The Pirates of Penzance” because Jane Scott’s singing talent was first discovered in the Girls ' Club Amateur Show. •■Mumnae night was proclaimed a success when si.xty-eight former members appeared, proving that the ideals and purpose of Girls’ Club have proved an in- spiration to them thropgh the years just as future members will be inspired to do greater things. 137 | 2 $ THE FRESHMAN GIRLS’ CLUB President — Harriet Leighton Secretary — Doris Smith Treasurer — Marjorie Bell The Freshman Girls’ Club offers an opportunity to the incoming students to enjoy social afternoons twice a month and to become better acquainted with their class mates. Early in the fall, under the direction of Miss Moore, amateur contests were held in the auditorium. The girls showed fine spirit and talent, and in gaiety of these meetings, all feeling of strangeness quickly disappeared. Later in the season, Claire Condell, Nancy Taylor, and Natalie Walsh were elected to the program committee, ably headed by Emilybeth Oyster. At this time. Miss Sacks took over the duties of Miss Moore as sponsor. The early spring program included a fine talk by Mr. Sprague, a Valentine party in the g m, and movies of the 1938 Washington party shown and ably commented upon by Mr. McPheters. In May, the Masque and Wig presented an amusing one act play, “The Gentle Jury’’ and four splendid readings were given by the Speaker’s Bureau. The May Dance held in the High School Gym- nasium will end a very pleasant year. 139 130 MASQUE AND WIG SOCIETY Presid en t — A n n elea Randall Vice President — Bernadette DiXatale Secretary — Alita Boecker Corresponding Secretary — Carman Wolff Treasurer — -John Tierney This year, as in years before, the upper-class dramatic society, under the su- pervision of Miss Kathryn L. Garden and Mr. Charles Parmiter, has made pos- sible many hours of pleasing entertainment. The aim of the club has been to encourage its members in a desire for self-expression, to help them to develop confidence in speakiDg before others, and in realizing dramatic ambitions. During the course of the year, the Society has increased its knowledge of al- most every art in the field of the theatre. These have included the basic prin- ciples of make-up work, staging, costuming, property arrangement, and the all- important acting. The two most important productions of the year were the Pageant-Play. “My Lady’s Yuletide”, very effectively staged Christmas entertainment, and the annual play, “Death Takes A Holiday’’. Membership in the Masque and Wig Society is open to any upper-classman who expends the necessary time and energy, and who develops some skill in the work of the theatre. ‘DEATH TAKES A HOLIDAY” Presented by THE MASQUE AND WIG SOCIETY OE MELROSE HIGH SCHOOL BY ALBERTO CASELLA Produced by special arrangement with Samuel Erench of New York PLAYERS (In order of their appearance) ANNELEA RANDALL EDWARD WORTON MARION KINGSTON CARMAN WOLFF ROBERT SPENCER MARY JANE CLAFLIN DON ALLEN DONALD KELLEY EILEEN DRISCOLL JACK MASKELL RALPH McLAIN PRISCILLA SEARS DAVID COCKBURN Alda Duke Stephanie Princess Baron Cesarea Rhoda Corrado Eric Grazia Prince Sirke Major Whitread Cora Fedele ACT I The Great Hall of the Castle of Duke Lambert.

Mont, Conductor The Melrose High School Band under the fifth year of IMiss Mont’s leader- ship has reached a new high in membership, growing from a small group of twenty to a present seventy-two. Instrumentation has kept pace for the band now boasts a full bass section and this year purchased a glockenspiel ami baritone saxophone. The advancement reached a new point musically as well, necessitating the forming of two bands. The advanced band includes those of mature training who could not in all fairness to thepi, be held back to the level of the members of the regular band class. People who have not attended the yearly band concerts may not be aware that the marching band of the football games becomes the concert band playing such varied compositions as Bach, Beethoven, Mozart, Hadley, Grainger, Ravel, V ' ictor Herbert, Ferde Grofe, George Gershwin. The Bach Choral “Cum Susser Tod”, and “On The Trail” of Gofe ])laye l at last May’s concert are still men- tioned as highlights of excellent intonation and interpretation. The band has gone fax in balance and understanding and ranks with the best of our eastern bamls. The loyalty of the band to Melrose High .School can never be questioned. Their work at the Thanksgiving Day game, plowing through mud and playing with cold hands and even to the point of valves freezing shows their training to see a thing through under all circumstances. They stand ready to do their bit at assemblies and all school activities. 1 8 MELROSE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Frances D. Mont, Conductor The Melrose High School Orchestra is an organization of which every res- ident of the city may well be proud. In the able leadership of Miss Frances D. Mont, there is evidenced a very obvious consciousness that the primary objective of every organized effort is, al- ter all, good citizenship. Directing the orchestra too a plane, so worthy of note, Miss Mont’s efforts have gone far to prove that the positive characteristics of good citizenship may be acquired in the realm of music. The Orchestra encourages both independent and group activity. The mem- bers learn the disciplinary value of seltVeffacement for the good of the whole, as well as the educational value of asj)iring to solo parts, the quality and execution of which are nearly, if not actually, on a professional basis. Public appearances at various functions, both within and without the school, stimulate for perfection, develop confidence in their ability to perform, and a re- sultant satisfaction in achievement. The principles, taught and learned on the orchestra stage, will be of im- measurable value on the stage of Life. The entire school and community wish Miss Mont and her loyal group con- tinued success. 139 JUNIOR RED CROSS President — IMartha Stingel Vice-President — Jean AIacPheters Secretary — Esther Benedict Treasurer — June Barman Sponsor — AIiss Beck The Junior Red Cross made a very good start this year under our new spon- sor Aliss Beck. Among our many activities have been included the planning of decorations of store windows for the annual roll call, sending Thanksgiving cards to the Rutland Veterans’ Hospital, and taking boxes of candy to the Bedford Veterans’ Hospital at Christmas time. This spring Eleanor Riley and Marquita MacHugh represented the club m the annual convention at A ' ashington. 1 0 LENS AND SHUTTER SOCIETY President — Kenneth Xtckolls I ' iee President — Arthur Davis Secretur ’-T rcasiirer — Barbara Lundsted Faculty rkhiser — Mr. Wilson Kvery Monday the Lens and Shutter Society has met to do developing and printing and to discuss the photographs taken liy the members. Lectures, on ex- posure, have been given often bv members, also there have been talks on com- ])ositi(m and the structure of cameras; and for the beginners. President Ken Xickolls has conducted classes in developing and printing. At Christmas time, many of us took advantage of our learning to make our own cards. Throughout the year we have held contests, and at time entered in a state-wide competition sponsored by the Massachusetts High School Camera Club. From all points of vantage, in the class-room, corridors and athletic held, cameras have been click- ing, taking candid shots of unsuspecting seniors. From these experiences and lectures, we all feel that we have improved our technique as candid camera artists. 141 NUNTIUS Editors — Barbara Cox, Olive ] Iortexsex Literary Editors — Claire Coxdell, Jeanne Way Exchange Editor — John Woodland Business Mgr . — Paul Peters Adviser — Miss Kershaw XUXTIUS, the Latin jiaper which is edited by members of the first and second year Latin classes appears three times a year and has a circulation of about four hundred. Xumerous other Latin papers representing schools in vari- ous parts of the country exchange regularly with XUXTIUS. The purpose of the paper is to stimulate interest in Roman history, life, and customs ; to relate Latin to modern times ; and to make students realize that Uitin is a usable and, in many respects, a living language. The paper contains articles of interest both in English and Latin, as well as editorials, news items, jokes, and puzzles. XUXTIUS acknowledges its indebtedness to the commercial department whose co-operation makes possible its neat and attractive format. 42 THE POETRY CLUB President — Maryjaxe Claflix I ' ice President — Marita Lowdex Secretary — Betsy Geddes T rcasurer — Barbara Reyxolds Sponsor — ] Iiss Putxam The memibershii) of the Poetry Club is made up of ten girls who are inter- ested not onl)- in writing verses, but also in reading 1‘oetry and in studying the lives of the poets. At an early fall meeting, Miss Putnam gave an illustrated talk on the trip which she took to the British Isles last summer. She showed pictures of the birthplaces and homes of many great English poets and writers. . t Christmas time, the members wrote original verses on cards and exchanged them with other members of the club. This spring the group bought two victrola records : one a recording of Robert P. Tristram Coffin reading three of his poems; the other of Robert Frost reading three of his Xew England poems. 143 RADIO CLUB President — Donald P ridc:e Secretary-T rcasurcr — Carl Holman Tlie Radio Club was formed three years ago for the purj)Ose of bringing to- gether the members of the school who were interested in radio, so that they might discuss their own problems, talk about current radio news, visit places of inter- est which are coimected with radio, and gain, through actual experience, a greater knowledge of the hobby. In the course of its existence, the club has visited the transmitter at W’EKI and also a television demonstration at W ' lXAL in Boston. A trip to a i)romihent radicj school is being plannetl for this year. Often meet- ings are devoted entire ly to general discussion. Code practice, construction, and experimentation are usually held after school. H4 MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB President — Willard Lukin rice President — Gilman Jackson Secretary-T reasurer — Harvey Gardner Sponsor — Mr. Clough The Model Airplane Club of Melrose High was organized in 1935 by a small group of boys interested in building and flying model planes. Meetings were held, under the supervision of Mr. Clough, in the gym, shop, and classrooms, and trips to the East Boston Airport were enjoyed. The Club has experienced a steady growth, and at the beginning of this year had nearly thirty members on the enrollment. Flying meets are held monthly in the gym, when the planes are classified ac- cording to type, and the members compete in each class for the record of longest sustained flight. The business meetings, held at frequent intervals, provide opportunities fo ' - instructive talks by the members, followed by discussion periods. •45 SPEAKERS’ BUREAU President — Frank Robbins Vice President — Virginia Tibbetts Prcasurcr — J OY Han kins Sec re ta ry — r ' R a n c es C a r n e y Seri h e — Gr a c e Knight Sergeant at Anns — Ray McIntosh Sponsors — AIr. Neiman and AIiss Bohrer Althougli the Speakers’ I’ureau is a comparatively new organization, it has found its niche in the school. ()ne o+ the main puriioses of the club is to furnish student s])eakers for the assemblies. Among this year’s interesting meetings were a symposium, “War Avoided or Averted”, rousing stump speeches, and an enlivening quizz program. The climax of the year’s work was the Declamation Contest. In the elimin ations which were judged by Miss Kershaw, Miss McNamara, and Air. Carney, Frank Rob- bins and I- ' ranees Carney won the original speech group; Alartha Stingel and |oy Hankins, humorous; and Annelea Randall and A ' irginia Simons, dramatic. These six will give their selections during the assembly Ala_ ' tilth. The club hojies that the Declamation Contest has been established as one ol the school annual events. 146 THE OUTING CLUB Officers: President, Richard Smith; Vice-President, Calvin Osberg; Secre- tary, William Abbott; Corresponding Secretary, Ada Holmes; Treasurer, Philip Paton. From an original membership of twenty skiers and skaters, the club has grown to a membershi]) of 120 who take part in roller and ice skating, hiking, picnics, skimg, and bicycling. ' I ' his year for the Thanksgiving Arlington vs. Melrose football game, the t )uting Club held a successful dance and football rally. .“ n active spring program consisting of hikes, camping trips, fishing, roller- skating, bicycle trips, and a boat excursion has been planned to finish up another successful and enjoyable year for the Outing Club. CLOAK AND PLUME SOCIETY President — J acqu eli n e W i n sh i p Vice President — I Iark Shaw Treasurer — Emilybeth ( )yster Secretary — Cox sta x c e Eeltox At various meetings, members of the club have presented short skits and plays. Among these were two plays entitled “Cosette” and “Six ho Pass While the Lentils I)Oil.” Roth (jf these proved to be very entertaining. The members of the club are now making plans to present a play for an au- dience of seventh and eighth grade pupils. The club is under the direction of Miss Wilder and Miss ]tlcNamara. ,48 THE IMPRINT This June, the Imprint completes its second year of publication. Most of the seniors graduating from the staff have had the distinction of having helped bring the ])aper imo existence and then of giving it a healthy push on its way. The class of 12 juniors and 18 seniors, divides its efforts between normal English studies and editing. This process is sometimes awkward; with juniors studying one thing, and seniors another. Some compare it to an old-fashioned, one-room country school. The real fun is going to press every other Thursday. An “Imprinter” works on issues which ‘‘appear on the street” a week after going to press. In case there is a shortage of material in any department, someone on the staff, Editor- in-Chief included, is in line for an assignment sheet. ' 49 EUCLIDEAN SOCIETY President — Priscilla Hess Chairman of the Program Committee — John Kimball Secretary — Forest Pjarter Treasurer — Catherine ] Iills A small hut interested group of honor students in Math and Science com- prise this dull. Only juniors and Seniors belong. Kducational trips are taken, this year’s including one of special interest to the Hood Rubber Company. In the Statonary Period meetings, the club members solve mathematical puzzles and en- joy it. Fhe fundamental purpose of this club is to foster interest in Math and Science, and to keep informed of developments in these subjects. To aid its pur- pos, the club made available to the school the him entitleil, “Geometry”, and also purchased a book on Mathematics for the school library, in accrdance with the enrichment program. 150 HI-Y President — Robert Monroe Vice President — Thomas IMcEnroe T reasitrer — Frederick Stearns Secretary — W h i tcom b W ells Cor. Secretary — -John Bridgewater As in the past, the Hi-Y Club has enjoyed another successful season. The year was inaugurated October fourth vith the annual Girls’ Club Hi-Y dinner. Then followed a series of, enlightening and vivid talks. Among its most prom- inent speakers were Dr. Edward W ' ikler, who gave an account of his experiences in India; Mr. Carney, whose topic was “Your Jobs”; and Air. Ray Xorris, who spoke on the “Art and Technique of Commercial Living”. The two most important evening functions of the Hi-Y were its annual dance, March i , and the “Professor Quiz” program in which five Hi- mem- bers and five Girls’ Club members overcame the mental onslaught prepared for them by ten of the faculty. In behalf of the Red Cross Drive, the Hi-Y boys again helped by distributing posters to all stores and by putting up flags along Alain Street. THE GLEE CLUB Under the direction of Mr. Whalen the Glee Club has played an important part in the musical activities of the school. In the ' rhanksj iving assembly the music of the Glee Club and the Chorus lent an expressive air to the ceremony. Likewise in the Christmas Assembly it added greatly to the interest in the pro- gram. Once each week there has been instruction in reading music and in under- standing its origin, famous composers, and musicians. The other ])eriods each week have been spent in the actual singing of music. At the present time the members are working in ])reparation for a Glee Club assembly to be given the twenty-sixth of May. 5-2 SKETCHING CLUB The Sketching Club has been very recently organized at the request of several students from the Freehand Drawing Department who wish to carry on their art work in informal sketching groups out-of-doors. Melrose affords many inter- estiug sketching possibilities and the students hope to render some of them in various mediums — principally in pencil and water-color. The more enthusiastic sketchers have turned to carpentry, made their own sketch boards of a particular pattern, and have all their equipment in readiness for the first warm day of spring. 153 Reflections I m ' f j :_jra J ' 54 ATHLETICS •55 FOOTBALL Co-Captains — Roger Gerritsox, Graxt Holt Manager — David Cockburx Coaches — Mr. Poole and Mr. W ' halex This year, the football team has had a successful season with such outstand- ing men as “Jupe” Hallahan, Leister Johnson, and Phil Cargdl in the back held; and Roger Gerritson, “jupe” Virgin, and Mill Parsons in the line. The Malden game was by far the best that Alelrose has done in some time. ' I ' he line was strong and the backs were fast ; but these factors could not keep Malden from winning 21 — 41. Against Medford, the Melrose boys gained 14 hrst downs to their opponent’s 9, but downs are not points and Medford won II— 9. Spring practice shows the return of some good veterans, and appearance of a likely-looking crop of new-comers. All of which brings hope to Coaches Poole and halen that next year M. H. S. football will be in for a boom season. 156 ICE HOCKEY Melrose finished second in the inter-scholastic hockey league — just one point away from the championship. Had it not been f(jr the large number of injuries and ineligibilities, the championship story might have been different. As it was, the boys won six: games, tied two, and lost two in the regular league competi- tion. It is interesting to note that Melrose had the least number of goals scored on them of all the teams in the league. ' I ' here were no outstanding stars this season, many players helping to score the greatest number of goals made by any one team. “Jake” Liston and Joe Reardon were chosen for the all-scholastic team ; Bud Holt, Charlie Holt, Dan Calt, and Russ Priestley made the second all-scholastic team. Other seniors who distinguished themselves on the ice were George Moulaison, Dave MacKen- zie, and “Red” DeMontier. ' 57 TRACK The track squad this spring is made up of many new hoys. At the first call, fifty-six boys reported for the various events. The greatest weakness seems to be in the sprint events and quarter mile. The leading sprint candidates seem to be Robert Spencer, A1 Mayne, Vincent Dion and William Mills. John Ibddgewater, Lewis Wells and Art Galvin are standouts in middle dis- tances, although they are developing slowly this spring. Bill Hamlin is carrying the honors in the pole vault, John Cox in the discus, Bruce Park and Robert ILower in the high jump, and Jack Ritchie, Denny Fer- nald, John Hartigan and Robert. Ford in the shot-put. 158 CROSS-COUNTRY C a plain — J oh n Bridgewater Manager — Joseph Hebbeethwaite Coach — Leonard Ceark After two weeks of extensive conditioning iby “Doc” Clark’s four veterans, several last-year replacements, and general green-horns, the first dual meet was won against Beverly. Then followed, in cjuick succession, triumphs over Bev- erly, ohurn, akefield, .Stoneham, Chelsea, and W inchester. By that time the harriers were in confident spirits for the three championship races to be run in ten days. The first of these meets was the “Big Si.x” event at Stoneham on November 2. For the fourth successive year, the iMelrose aggre- gation came out on top. Next came the state meet at Nickerson Field, Weston. November 5. However this race proved ill-fated for the Melrose team, for they lost hy only 5 points to Brockton. After this setback, the hill and dalers entered the New England Championships at Providence, R. I., November 12, and gained revenge over Brockton by defeating them and 23 other New England schools. 159 TENNIS TEAM Manager — David Cockburn Coach — Richard Udall The tennis team this year looks forward to a ver} eventful season with the return of such seasoned veterans as Bob Monroe and Walt Xiles. Last year the team was very successful, winning most of its matches. As yet the white-trousered horde has not been called out for an ofificial prac- tice, hut at the first suitable weather, the boulevard courts will be filled with un- derclass men aspiring f,or a ranking position on the team. Although the team faces a hard schedule, under the ca])able coaching of .Mr. Udall, they should meet with great success in their matches. i6o GOLF After winning the Middlesex Gol League in 1938 without losing a match, the Golf Team of Melrose High School looks forward to a successful seasoii this year. Four letter men from last year’s team remain with us — David Paul, Don- ald Kelly, John Cox, and Robert Jordan. Several boys in the Freshman an.i Sophomore class show promise of also becoming letter men, and with this com- bination, the team, this year, expects to go far and accomplish a great deal. i6j BASKETBALL Captain — John Bridgewatkr Manager — John Cox Coach — j Ir. Neiman The Alelrose School basketball team, while not very successful in the matter of wins and losses, [)roduce l some verv exciting games. During the en- tire season Melrose was definitely out-classed, against only two teams. North Ouincy and Peabody. It is interesting to note that both these teams later played in the Tech tournament. Though our position in the standing of the Cmeater Poston League was not very high, it will be remembered that we were nosed out by not more than three points in any game. The team has chosen Lawrence Zurbach and Richard Else as co-captains for next year. .-Mthough several members of the team are graduating, the Junior and So[)homore lines gi e good indication for a successful year. 162 THE RIFLE CLUB Prcsidcn t — Ever ett ( jR ah a m I’ ice President — Edwin Rumrill Secretary — Robert Calder Range Officer — Grin Smith This year the Rifle Clul) has been kept busy l y the seiiedule of matches that liave been shot. These include: two matches with Malden, two matches with Haverhill, two matches with Ifrockton, and postal matches with Norwood Acad- emy and the Portland ' W AL C. A. In addition, the Club jiarticipated in the first series of bi-weekly postal matches S])onsored by the National Rifle Association. The Club has the use of two ranges, the most used one being the range in the Legion Bungalow. The other range is the fine Fish and Game Club range on the Mount Hood Reservation. The Rifle Club is fortunate, indeed, to have the use of these two ranges, as it has a big advantage over other clubs as there is ample opportunity for outdoor shooting at all ranges. In the future, the Club and team should progress rapidly as many of the better shots are not graduating this year. 165 BOYS’ SWIMMING CLUB The boys’ swimming club was organized, under the direction of Mr. Udall, for the purpose of improving swimming. After an instruction and training per- iod of two months, the members of the club took part in three dual swimming meets as an independent Y. M. C. A. team. The team won easily from Hydi Park Y. M. C. A. in the first meet, and then, weakened by sickness, lost close meets to the Lowell Y. M. C. A. and Huntington School. M embers of the club included: Seniors — Kenneth Hall and John Abbott Juniors — Robert Whitman, Edward Lacey, and Willard Luken Sophomores — Owen Bailey, John Cain, and William Hamlin Freshmen — Stanley Battles, Robert (folcord, and Jack Towle Parker Greenlaw acted as business manager. 164 i6j BASEBALL GYMNASTICS CLUB A small organization has been formed in this year’s extra curricula activities. We are becoming more acutely aware that leisure time may be enjoyably spent by engaging in Physical Education. Boys that wish to further their ability or in- terest in physical work have joined this group, and under the able guidance of Mr. Clark, boys physical instructor, hope to become advanced :n gymnastics. Mr. Clark has taught us exercises on the mats, parallel bars, rings and hori- zontal bar. Much of the work done, does not recpiire supreme strength by any means but it does require rhythm, timing, grace, and coordination. That is the chief aim of this small organization. i66 MEMORIES or hT lights ' and ”LOWLlG ' S OF OUR FOUR YARS AT GOOD OLE MELR05E H GH . 6 GIRLS’ RIDING CLUB This year the Girls’ Riding Club got off to a bad start. Because of the hur- ricane damage in the Fells, there was no autumn riding. Nevertheless, the girls started anew this spring, and, under the able supervision of i lr. Ben Crooker o the Melrose Riding School, many beginners learned the fundamentals of horse- back riding. We feel that we are very fortunate to have the excellent instruction and fine horses which we get at the iMelrose Riding School. 1 68 GIRLS’ SWIMMING There are a large number of girls this year taking swimming, diving, and Senior and Junior Life-Saving. Life-Saving has been introduced this year. The Life-Saving groups have finished their course and there are four re- ceiving their Junior and two receiving their Senior Life Saving certificates. ' idle beginners’ class has been working hard to improve their swimming, to learn how to dive. In this group there are about fifteen girls, and they all have showetl great improvements. ' Idle advanced class has been working for speed and practicing racing dives and turns for the interclass and class meets. Much of the success of these swimmers belongs to Aliss Kendall whose con- stant help and willing co-operation has encouraged us to go on. i6q FIELD HOCKEY Captain — Rae Larkin Manager — Annelea Randall Coach — Mary T. Sargent This year there was a very large enthusiastic turnout for the Girls’ Hockey Team. Every night we could see the girls out on the athletic field practicing. From this large group of girls, Miss Sargent picked the Varsity squad and the second team, both of which iiroved to be quite successful. The girls had I.exington, W’inthrop, Malden, Swampscott, Winchester, Ar- lington, and Stoneham for oj)[)onents. The first team won five of the games and lost two. The second team won six and lost one. The second team showed itself up in grand style which in itself is most prom- ising for next year, some of the prospects being: Ruth Kiley, Shirley Moore, Adelaide DePetro, Ruth York, ami Virginia Tibbetts. 170 BASKETBALL Captain — Barbara Lu n dst i:d Manager — Helen Kiley Coach — Mary T. Sargent Over one-half of the girls in the High School partieij ated in basketball this year. Room 208B won the home room tournament. The interclass series fol- lowed with the seniors coming out on top. These class teams played Reading, Swampscott, and Winchester taking all of the games from Swampscott and all but one from Reading and W inchester. The outstanding players were chosen from these teams to make up the varsity squad. They did not win all of their games, but they showed good sjwjrtsmanship. Barbara Lundsted was the only letter girl from last year. The second team won all except two games. 171 GIRLS’ TENNIS The Girls of the school had a fall tennis tournament which helped in choos- ing the tennis list for the spring. Tennis is a sport that encourages the girls to he out in the air in the spring and fall. Every year there is a Play Day at Winchester. This year the Melrose 1 ligh School Girls’ Tennis Team has been invited to attend. This is quite an honor f(jr us as the other teams attending are from private schools. This fall the Freshmen had two tournaments which were won hy Francis Xicholls and P)etty Surbeck. The doubles tournament was won by Jac(iueline Smith and Francis Xicholls. The So])homore doubles tournament was won by Joanne and X ' ancy Jones. The Sophomore singles was won by Caroline I.entil- hon; the Juniors singles by Maureen iVIacHugh; and the Senior singles by Bar- bara iMeharg. This spring we are looking for more and better tennis players to turn out for this sport. 172 GIRLS’ BOWLING Bowling ' for girls of all classes, which has entered into the high school only recently, has proved a success as a major sport. The girls of all classes have re- ported weekly on their respective days, at the Highlands Club and shown great skill, even to winning the ten free strings. The outstanding bowlers have been June Parnian, Eleanor Haley, Ruth York, Verna Kinniston, Gloria Pendle- ton, and Jean MacDonald. The results of tournament averages were: Sophomore 6 Y , Freshmen (A) Freshmen (R) 691 4, and Seniors at top with 72. 173 INTRA-MURAL SPORTS Our intra-niural program is the backbone of our girls’ athletics. It is from these home nnun and class games that varsity material is chosen. There is a team for every girl and a wide variety of sports to choose from. In the fall we have hockey, tennis, and riding. During the winter months we have basketball, volley ball, bow ling, track, gym, and swimming, d ' he spring season finds us busy with baseb.dl, riding, tennis, and we hope to have archery. Hundreds ol girls pla_ ' on their home room :iml class teams, and enjoy the privileges ot the riding, bowling, and swimming clubs. W e hoi)e that some day every girl in school will find a s])ort she is interested in. 174 Officers: Ruth Kiley, Barbara Luxdsted Rae Larkin, ] Iary DeCoste The Girls’ League of Athletics was organized in 1937, and has pregressed with rapid strides. Its purpose is the promotion of girls athletics, and the real- ization of the highest ideals of gorxl sportsmanship. The organization, which is composed of the majority of the girls in the school, as sponsored many new activities for girls. Among the sports which girls now enjoy are archery, golf, bowling, and swimming. GIRLS ' LEAGUE OF ATHLETICS 75 GIRLS’ BASEBALL After a long drawn out winter it will indeed be a pleasure to see the girls out on the diamond again. Due to the lack of baseball enthusiasm in the surrounding towns, Melrose girls did not have a varsity team last year. However, this year we are happy to know that we will have a varsity team and will play Lexington, Winchester, Ar- lington, and Woburn. Some of the most j)romising prospects hor the team are: K. Wiswill, R. York. .M. Macladan, R. Kiley, -A. DePetro, X. Weeks, J. Parman, R. l.arkin, T. Doyle, and M. Harvey. Considering the fact that about half of the student IxKly of girls are ])laying baseball during their gym periods, and every home room will have a team Jtlay- ing S period; we should have a very successful season. 176 Glass Glass ay Charles Kaxe Statisticimi ' ICioMAS McICnkoe Historian Amy W entworth Prophecy June Torrey Prcsoitatioiis ' 78 MARSHAL’S ADDRESS Good afternoon Parents, Teachers and Friends. May I extend to you the cordial welcome of the class of. 1939. Four years ago this thrilling occasion seemed very far away, but at last it has arrived. With this in mind we cannot help but feel the sincerest appreciation toward our Mothers and Fathers who have made so many sacrifices for us, and toward our teachers who have patiently guided us through four years of education. As it is a great milestone in all our young lives, it is our wish that you join us here as we present to you the most entertaining side of our school life. We hope that this program will leave you with many pleasing remembrances of the class of 1939 - Robert S. Spencer 79 HISTORY OF THE CLASS OF 1939 Thomas McEnroe {Appears on stage dressed in ministerial garb, bearing scripture) —§■ Our lesson for today is in the Second Volume of the Book M. H. S., Chap- ters three through seven, inclusive. And it came to pass, two years after the completion of the stone temple of knowledge, or in the year one thousand-nine hundred-thirty five, Anno Domini, a certain group of seekers of learning, some three hundred forty strong, entered into the bondage of the masters of the Temple for four years. And these promised children soon lost their strangeness and became accus- tomed to the (juickness of life, and hardness of task in their new home. And it was that a certain small group of them, who calleth themselves the Cloak and Plume society, choseth John Tierney as their chieftain and Carman Wolff as their next in command. Also in the Freshman Girls’ Club, Elisabeth Campbell was made chief tess, with Marieta Lowden her aide. And lo, a certain teacher, named Mac, gathered round about him a select group of athletes to partake, violently, of a sport, foot- ball by name. The team did loseth all manner of contests, from the first unto the last. And in the following year, this same group of chosen people became Soph’o’- mores, though they did yet remain in bondage. And they did appoint Robert Monore to be their leader; and John Bridgewater to be his first assistant, and Evelyn Smith to be their scribe, and Elisabeth Campbell to be their money tender. And it was now permitted to the entire generation to become a follower of any tribe they were wont to. Four of the rank were chosen ofificials of their tribe; Stuart Hutton became scribe of Hi-Y; Maryjane Claflin was scribe of the Poetry Club; Robert Spencer was annointed .scribe of the Junior Red Cross; and Carman WMlff was made money keeper of the W riters’ Club. Ralph Melvin, and Marguerite Aggar and Marieta Lowden and Maryjane Claflin didst wield mighty pens on the famous Roman parchment, the Xuntius. And it was, that in showing of the Masque and Wig’s “Phillip Goes Forth,’’ Annelea Randall did play a large ])art therein. In the musical psalm, “Holly- wood Bound”, John Cox and Ralph McLain didst revert to heathens, playing Chinese men, and Cecil Farnsworth did shout forth a double role, playing two men at once. And behold, great honors were bestowed upon Roger Gerritson and Grant Holt for their prowess upon the field of football and to ’illiam Liston and David MacKenzie went laurel wreaths for their endeavors in skimming the icy rink. ♦ ♦ And in the process of time the chosen ones were blessed with many and great positions of high rank. There was much rejoicing when Robert Monroe was chosen once again to be the leader of this mighty tribe; John Bridgewater once more, was first assistant ; likewise Elisabeth Campbell another year didst tend the moneys ; and Helen Kiley was made keeper of the records. The football team did enjoy a season unmarred by loss. And on that victor- ious team which did really beat Malden and Arlington were the mighty gladia- tors, William Hallahan, and George Mouaison, and Roger Gerritson and John Ball, and Grant Holt and Leonard Bryant, and Herbert DeMontier. A Washington pilgrimage was made by eighty in number, who, desiring knowledge and joy did depart from their native Melrose to seeth the Capitol of their entire country. The journey was made by water and land, and the wildness of the great Atlantic Sea didst cause consternation and upheavals amongst the good people of our lot. And in the Masque and W ig play, “I’ll Leave it to You,” Annelea Randall and June Torrey, and Xorma Ahearn and Carman Wolff all didst play impor- tant roles. And with bellowing and cavorting, the Juniors didst overrun the op- eretta, “W ' ay Out West,” chief amongst them being Martha Sting ' el and Robert Sj encer and Mary Jane Claflin and Joy Hankins and John Cox. Amidst clashing of symbals and blowing of tubas there was a mighty cele- bralic n where were gathered a great company who didst dance and make merry, for this was the Junior Prom qj great renown. ♦ ♦ ♦ ♦ -And so it came to pass that the great people passed intO ' the fourth and final stage of their deliverance from oppression and diverse aflflictions. Ballots were cast for leaders and thus Robert Spencer became the head; and John Bridgwater followed close behind; and Elisabeth Campbell was again the keeper of the treasury and Grant Holt was appointed scribe. And even so the smaller groups didst have all Seniors as chiefs — Annelea Randall of the Masque and Mdg, and Martha Stingel of the Junior Red Cross, and Amy entworth of the Girls’ Club, and Robert Monroe of the Hi-A ' , and Priscilla Hess of the Euclidean Society, and Mary Jane Claflin of the Poetry Club, and Everett Graham of the Rifle Club, and Frank Robbins of the Speak- ers’ Bureau, and Thomas McEnroe of the Imprint, and Richard Smith of the Outing Club. i8i I!ut the players at games also didst records make. Of the women players, in hockey the forenKJSt of them were Rae Larkin and Elisabeth Campbell, ami Cwendolyn Del ' reitas and h ' rances Doyle, and Helen Kiley and Phyllis Allen and Anne I ' aden, and Jean Hickey and Marilynn Woodman, and Jeanne Par- ant, and they did win all contests hut one. . nd in basketball, the women did win five of their eight games. . nd the men did excell at running across the land. Yea, they did come off victors at all dual meets and did even receive the New England title. And there were among them John Bridgewater and Louis Wells, and Arthur Galvin and James Schaefer. And in the sixth month of the fourth year, the Mascpie and dg brought forth a play, “Death Takes a Holidav”, wherein many .Seniors brought honor to themselves and to their peojile. And in the musical jubilee “Pirates of Pen- zance , Jane .Scott didst cover herself with glory. .■ nd the Log, wherein is set forth the history and doctrines of the Class of 1939, was under the leadership of ]ohn Kimball as editor and Charles Kane, chief of affairs. . nd as May drew to a close, the mighty and famous Imprint didst mark off its second year of colorful life. Now, therefore, hearken. Though great had been the wailing and the beat- ing u])on the breasts of these chosen ])eople during their four years of sojourn in the temple, thanks were deep in their hearts to the pro])hets who had led them through the wilderness into the ])romised land. Here endeth the reafling of the le.sson. .Selah. )8a STATISTICS OF THE CLASS OF 1939 Charles Kane — — Parents and friends, as you see, I have been called in as a member of the “Fax and Figures Accounting Company’’ to check over the books and accounts of the class of 1939. I find these books are all in good order, and I will there- fore recount to you some of the facts contained in them so that you may judge for yourselves the wisdom of the choice which our class has made. First of all, let us present a cross section of our group. Their total years would carry us far beyond even the time of Ifuck Rogers — way ofif to somewhere in the seventy-eighth century ; their w ' eight, even excluding Rog Gerritson would amount to over 21 tons, and if they were laid end to end it would take our star half-miler, Johnny Hrklgewater, about a minute and ten seconds to run the dis- tance. Their favorite sport is swimming and their favorite study, biolo,g}-. Xext we have the ever present but never seen member of the class, “Air. Av- erage’’, or, if you prefer, our average individual. He weighs one hundred and thirt ’ pounds, stands five feet six inches tall and wears a size seven and a half shoe. He prefers brunettes, by the way, quite contrary to the saying that, “Gen- tlemen prefer blondes.” This class, like all other graduating classes, has chosen its various outstand- ing personalities, its athletes, bluffers, saints, blushers, flirts, and many more notables. If these peoj)le who have been selected by their classmates for these places of honor, will please rise wdien their names are mentioned, it will give our visitors an opportunity to judge for themselves how accurately the class has chosen. For our first celebrity let us turn to athletics, for sports play a great part in the life of any high school. Our most athletic boy is John Bridgewater, who well deserves this honor since ; besides being an outstanding member of the track and baseball teams, he has cajitained both the cross country and the basketball team. Our outstanding girl athlete is “Tut” Doyle, whose powers on the basketball court, baseball diamond, and hockey field have w’on her a permanent niche in our hall of fame. Bob Spencer and Amy W’entw-orth are our most popular boy and girl. Bob, also ' our class president, is w ' ell known, too, for his ability as an actor, and is even more noted for his wdtticisms. Amy’s pleasing personality and cheerful disposi- tion, no doubt, won her this honor, because she is also our best-natured girl. Don Kelley, by the w ay, without opposition, takes the honors for best-natured boy. I’m sure that you’ll all agree on our choice of Bette Gould as our best look- ing girl ; that is, all except, maybe. Hank Pearl ; for, you see, even though he is the class genius, he is noted for his hatred of woman-kind in general. Joe Reardon is our most handsome specimen of manhood as well as most noted for his fine work on the ball field. However, if during elections one ba’lot was cast without Joe’s name on it, it might possibly have been cast by Dotty Nash, for she, although she is a staunch supporter of all our male athletic events, is our class man-hater. •• 1 jMayne and Barb Bryant are our best dancers. A1 had better take good care of his dancing partner for Barb is also noted for her flirtations. This per- fection in dancing has been attained, no doubt, by dancing to the tunes of “Artie Shaw’’, the favorite orchestra of our class. I think that in mentioning Bob Spencer as class actor 1 neglected to speak of our class actress, Annelea Randall, whose brilliant performances have insured the success of our dramatic productions. Speaking of acting, we have another group of students who have done their acting on their own initiative. The most conspicuous in this group is Herb DeiMontier. However, in all fairness to Herb we must say that his baseball batting average is certainly no blufif. On the other end of the scale we have Harry Briggs, whose efforts at fooling others have not had such favorable results. It was a close race though, and even if Harry did fall to the level of least successful bluffer, he still gets along pretty well. There is one type of actor left, the e.xaggerator, and those who know him need not be informed about Johnny Snaith’s ability to tell “whoppers”. Of course, in the midst of these lighter types of students we do have those who take their work seriously. The most studious o ' these is Claire Connorton who has distinguished herself throughout her school days by fine marks and gen- uine application to her studies. For these years of hard work, Claire has won the honor part of essayist at graduation. Our valedictorian and the one most likely to succeed is Maryjane Claflin. For four years she has led her class in scholastic attainment, all her marks except two having been A’s, and, besides, she has taken part in many extra curricula activities. Our second ranking honor pupil is Ralph McLain, our salutatorian. Throughout the year Ralph and Mr. Battles have been struggling through algebraic prolilems which were entirely un- intelligible to every one else. However, this is a time for humor so let’s not dwell too long on the heavier things. If you folks should hapjien to hear any in+ectious laughter ringing through the corridors of M. H. S., it can probably be traced to Helen Kiley. Her giggling is proverbial. A lad whose cheeks are c|uite apt to assume a distinctly red color whenever his name is mentioned is Warren Roukes. In fact, if you’ll look real hard, folks, you can probably pick out Warren’s flaming countenance. While we’re on the subject of shyness I’d like to introduce to you Thelma Etsell and Charles Glover; that is, if they haven’t already left in embarrassment. The proverbial violet has nothing on them. Another of our famous men is Dick Smith. Dick is our class artist, in fact 184 Dick feels it his duty to win poster prizes, which he does with uncanny regular- ity. Dick is also an accomplished skier as those who have tried to imitate his feats have no doubt discovered. Xext we have our class saint, Ellinor Benedict. However, Ellinor’s saintli- ness is overshadowed by her outstanding ability as a cellist. At the other extreme, we have John Reece whose saintliness might be ques- tioned, but whose popularity with the fair sex is recognized by all. If we may introduce a little touch of originality, we call upon Marion King- ston. As a result of her success in creating ideas and exercising imagination, she has become our class poet. All of our celebrities so far have been single individuals ; but we do have two members of our class who, as far as we can judge, really possess a joint person- ality, for they are never seen except together. I refer to our class pals, Priscilla W’iggin and Ruth Nesmith. To lend dignity to our class we have Carolyn Longshore. However, we’ve been told on good authority that, with the proper encouragement, Carolyn will play her part in any prank. No doubt many of you have heard of our class’ famous songstress, Jane Scott, whose golden voice assured the distinctive success of our operetta this year. Another type of musician is our historian and class swing fan, Tom McEn- roe. Although Tom doesn’t do any public work, he is said to be a drummer of no mean ability. Our most fastidious member is Dick Hatch. Never let it be said that Dick has ever entered the portals of Melrose High without a perfect crease m his pants and a dazzling .shine on his shoes. Of course, it would be impossible to give all the interesting facts about the members of th’S illustrious class, for time will not permit. However, I hope that by introducing these few — pardon the interruption but I have just discovered a man who slunk into the last row after I began speaking. I mean Tom Sullivan. Throughout the year, Mr. Wilder has threatened and pleaded with Tom to move just a little faster but to no avail; Tom is still the least often on time. I hope that by introducing these few members we have given you, at least, a partial picture of the class of 1939, Melrose High School, a class not only des- tined to enjoy life to its fullest extent, but also to achieve objectives, worthy and honorable. I thank you. 185 PROPHECY Amy W ' entworth — § 1 am still rubbing niy eyes ! Such magnificence, such lighting effects ! such gorgeous buildings! such a riot of color! such a display of architectural and landscape artistry! What size to dwarf you! what sights to dazzle you! what noise to deafen you ! Kver) thing is super-super and words are but empty sym- bols to tell the wonder of it all ! Of course, you know that I am talking of the great World’s Fair in Xew ' S’ork from which I have just this moment returned. One exjierience which 1 had will interest you especially. It was my visit to the “Futurarium”, that marvel of auditory and visual progress. It was all so weird that I am still a little dazed! ' I ' he building itself was a massive and beau- tiful affair, and as 1 stej)ped inside, 1 felt as though I had passed into another world entirely. A very efficient little person asked me what I wanted to see. My immediate answer was, “The Class of 1939 Melrose High School in the Year 1959-” pressed some buttons and my heart took leaps in anticipation of what was coming. An attendant came in and said, “As I am aware of the de- cided propensity of the Class of 1939 for leisure, you may sit in this red leather chair during the review. The chair itself began to move, and I soon found my- self in utter darkness. Just as the objects of the world take shaj)e as night departs and with the ris- ing sun are clearly seen, so now out of the darkness there gradually appeared, dimly, at first, and then with ] erfect clearness, a newspaper office. As the time of the deadline was close at hand, everyone w as in a rush, but I did see bevy of copy-readers, and typists. Among the copy-readers were Irma If Venn, Betty Clones, and Helena Donahue. Lillian Johnson and Helen Flanagan were typing, while Barbara MaJdison, true to form, was just dashing in with the story on a late society event from London. Carolyn Longshore and Marge Karnheim had just had a hunting party (don’t misinterpret me) for the Duchess of Worcester, -Inn Faden, and some of her friends, the Countess of Derbyshire, Helen Parlee, the Countess of Fssex, Naney Sellon, and the Duchess of Ipswich, Annelea Ran- dall. Fred Spollett, George Mann, and Kenny Hall were discussing possibilities for a feature when George Robinson came in with a last minute scoop on the stratospheric flight of Tom McFairoe and Ken Nicholls. Tom had taken the flight at night to verify his previous theory that the planets were inhabited, and ad taken Ken along to take pictures as proof. Over in one corner of the office, absolutely unaware of the commotion, were Frank Euniont and Betty Campbell. I ' rank was preparing his “Advice to the Lovelorn” column, while Betty worked on her poetry corner. At this point, there entered a delegation from the “Spin- ster Home” composed of FJinor Knight, Phylis Allen, Martha Stingel, Barbara Bryant, and I at Hatch on a conducted tour of the establishment. Their guide, by the way, was tione other than John Tierney! Arthur Galvin, an associate edi- tor was telling the girls that the office was a virtual stamping ground for the ’39 graduates with Harold llA ' eth as business manager, Jesse Materese controlling circulation and Marie Casey, I it Stack, and Lois Schofield as his helpers. i86 This room faded from view, and slowly a new scene came into relief, illum- inated before my eyes. It was a drug store run by John Ciirr and Stuart Hut- ton. Now here is a surprise — behind the counter were Laurence Scaboria and ]’illiam IVigton employed as soda-jerkers. Frank Robbins came in, accompan- ied by Ethel Harden and Charlie Kane, the directors of a kindergarten known as “The Little Red School for Roily Rogues.’’ In the course of the conversation, Frank told them that he was president of the city’s trust company, and Lewis Picket, Phil U ' ardland, and Harold Craic ic were cashiers. Then in sauntered Harry Briggs, no busier than ever, and when someone asked him what his occu- pation was, he drawled out, “I’m still resting from my strenuous life in Melrose High School !’’ He was full of news, however, and said that Dick Hatch was the owner of the “Here’s How to Say It” florist shoj). Dick had employed such able help as Calvin Osberg, Don Kelley, Paul Whitney, Don Watters, and Art Williams. He also said that Jimmy Gall and UJdter Mil’s had a duck farm and had Norma Ahearn, Betty Carr, and Margaret Holden working for them. The scene then changed, and I found myself looking onto an athletic field over whose gate was blazoned “Championship Field of the Faultless City.” I immediately knew that many a Melroseite must have gravitated here. Apprent- ly there was a great mass meeting going on at which the mayor, Bob Spencer, was giving the address of the afternoon while Bob Monroe, the city’s “Grover halen” greeted the visitors who had come to see the awards given to the great- est champions of all time. First came “Jiipe” Hallahan receiving a medal for his nine day bicycle race, then Artie Sheridan and Lewis U ' cUs for their double jumping-rope achievement. There were others, but last of all came the recently crowned roller skate kings, Roger Gerritson, “Son)i ' ” Concannon, and Joe Heb- blethwaite ; Jeanne Parajit was crowned queen of the game of Russian .Aggies, more familiarly known us marbles. She had defeated such great players as Ruth Shirton, Herby Gray, and Ruth UJishburn. In the midst of the ceremonies, an airplane landed, piloted by Don Boyd and Norman Grant. ' Phey had come from the far north just in time tO ' bring news that Phyllis Young, Madeleine Olrver. Maryjane Claflin, and Marion Kingston had been chosen as the glamour girls of an Alaskan tribe, and that Bea Flagg and John Kimball had been honored for their exploits in seal hunting. Rack of the athletic field could be seen on the first tee-oF of the golf course, designed b}’ Henry Pearl, a new telescope of his own invention. These telescopes on each tee-off had brought great advances in golf, and among the star players, it seemed, were W oodbury Day, Forrest Barter, Jean Shafer, and Dottie Nash. Again a fading and relighting; I was looking on a mid-city scene in what ap- peared to be a great metropolis. A bus driven by Jolui Ball stopped and Jane Scott alighted with a suitcase. She was a door-to-door saleswoman for the “Peaches and Cream Beauty Lotion Company” owned by Johnny Bridgetvater. Under Jane’s management were Marieta I.owden, Joy Hajtkins, and Pip Hess, and she was giving them directions for the day’s work. .Across the way, there were dazzling signs on the Opera House advertising the coming opera in which Carman llAlff was to be the “Prima Donna.” In her supjiorting cast were the fine voices of Dick Livermore, Alice Hughes, Priscilla Sears, Hugh McFarlane, Dotty Burnham, and June Parman. Marilyn UHodman, Elinor Benedict, and 187 MnrUy i Holland were in the orchestra composed entirely of lyres and directed by Boh Carter. Sandy Moran was financing the performance. •A. flash — and a V. M. C. A. stood before me. Kenny Sniith, the big, burly physical-ed instructor, was entering the building with Dick Brown who was sec- retary of the “Y.” They were discussing the recently opened art studio of Mar- ( uerite Agar, Bea Livingstone, Dick Smith, and John Cunningham who had been commissioned by the government to do some surrealistic paintings of bath- ing beauties. My next vision came slowly, but when it appeared in full it was overwhelm- ing. It seemed to be a large arena where rehearsals were in process for the “Fol- lies of 1959.” My suspicion of Johmiy Recce’s weakness for the stronger sex was confirmed when 1 saw him directing a chorus of girls in a dance routne pre- pared by Eileen Uhdsh. In the chorus I could distinguish “Tut” Doyle, Esther Benedict, Bei ' crly Bruce, Ruth Xesniith, Priscilla Wiggin, Evelyn Scarborough, Bernadette DiXatale and Gzve i DeEreitas. A male chorus was in rehearsal un- der ll ' arren Roukes’ direction. Imagine the unsuspected talent which lay hidden in our class! The chorus consisted of George Moidaison, better known as “Feet ' ’, Kayo Mullen, Joe C.airns, Bill Paganucci, Thomas Sullk ' an, Art Allard and Dave Cockburn, those two proverbial “jitterbugs”, and Cecil Earnsivorth. A daring act on the flying trapeze was being executed by Barb Lundsted, Virginia Kennis- ton, Phil Patton, and Ralph McLain. There were tumbling acts by Edith Vail, June I.ander, Barbara Bolton, Jean Hickey, Betty Ann Smyth, and Virginia Hos- mcr. “Ginny” .dlbe.e who always harbored a secret desire for an all-girl orches- tra now had satisfied her craving by producing the next best thing, a hot jazz band with Eugene Mooers, Martha Parker, Dick Symonds, Parker Greenlazv, and Burt Greene among its personnel. Oh yes I I must not forget Charles Virgin, Lezvis Titcomb, Albert Woods, and “Diz” Earrahar who were doing daring bare- back riding feats. As the followng scene appeared, I thought I could discern the sound of tom- toms. Yes! it was on a South Sea Island, a wonderful place for people who liked the leisurely life, and there was quite a colony of our class there! Some had grown a little weary of complete inactivity: John Snaith and Water Xiles had become snake-charmers; Grant Holt, John Cox, and Lezois English had gone in for rhinoceros hunting. Under a tree, some distance from the thatched roof huts, were Dazr McKnizie and Ered Thompson, would-be-monkey-trainers, coax- ing a little monkey who was throwing coconuts at them to come down and play with them. moment later and Jeanne Gre,ene, Ez’elyn Smith, .ilita Boecker, and Bette Gould came riding by on elej)hants. Following them were Helen Kiley and Rae Larkin on laughing hyenas. I soon learned that the king of the jungle haunt was “Red” DeMontier, and his first lieutenant was Joe Reardo i. I had noticed a rather pretentious little hut among the rest, but T little suspected what a glimpse of its interior would reveal. Could I believe my eyes? Yes, it was a little church, and the minister, believe it or not, was Daz’e IVardzvell. He was holding a meeting of his home missionaries who devoted themselves mostly to Sunday school teaching, Margery Derby, Shirley Clark, Bicky Grant, Ruth Pac- kard, ll’allace Dunningham and Lennie Bryant, and his foreign missionaries, Er- 188 land Tcschck, and Walter Dickinson who had come in from their stations on other islands to report their success in civilizing the people. No other scene followc ' d this and I knew that my allotted time was spent. It was just as well; I could not have stood many more such shocks! As myster- iously as 1 had been introduced, 1 was now gently withdrawn from my oracular auditorium, and very soon I found myself being firmly but politely shown the door! You’ll agree that it was a wonderful experience and now all you have to do is fulfill your destiny ! i8 PRESENTATIONS June Torre y {Dressed as Peter Fan) 1 live in sunny Xeverland In a realm be} ond the sea ; There’s not a single schoolroom there And life is glad and free. 1 used to go to school with you Years and years ago ; You did not see me very long, A couple of weeks or so.

Salutatorian Claire Connorton Essayist Mary Jane Clafltn V aledictorian io8 SALUTATORY By Ralph E. McLain, Jr. Parents, Teachers, Members of the School Committee, and Friends: It is indeed a pleasure to welcome you here tonight in the name of the class of 1939. It is like being in the showroom of a great garage tonight, for here we have the newest models and the latest styles. You who have had so much to do with their construction have been invited to make a final inspection before they start out on the road. They have passed the severest tests, and now, after a final check, they are on parade before they start out on the highways of the future. HIGHWAYS OF THE FUTURE Not long ago, a man impersonating the first president of the United States rode to his inauguration in New York City. His vehicle was an old coach and four, a slow and uncomfortable thing to travel in even in this modern day ot hard-surfaced roads. How much more so one hundred fifty years ago when the road at best was dusty and rough and at its worst a muddy, slimy slough ! Of course, we of the twentieth century have been accustomed to thinking that our forefathers naturally had a hard and slow time getting places. Ye young folks find it hard to believe that it was not so very long ago that there were no airplanes, no automobiles, and no radios. We can’t realize that the modern, streamlined miracles have grown up with us and that before our time there were none. One thing we do decry, however, is that the road of yesterday is slowing down the car of today. W’e see that, although the rutted track of the horse and bugg}- days as been paved over, the ratio of improvement between the automo- bile and the highway has been increasing. The narrow streets and roads of yes- teryear are scarcely adequate for the traffic and congestion of millions of cars, and an increasing accident rate is a grim reminder that roads built for traffic moving at fifteen miles an hour will not accommodate cars traveling at fifty or more. The highway problem of today resolves itself into three divisions; namely, the routing of through traffic around cities, the establishment of direct intercity speedways, and most important, the relief of intracity congestion. One of the most progressive cities in the circumvention of congested areas is New York City. Designed for perfection in beauty and traffic control, the park- way system under Robert Moses is truly a Utopia for automobiles. Tendroii- like parkways, beautifully landscaped, stretch north and east to New England, gathering the streams of traffic together into a fast moving river, then directing this current safely and easily past the pulsating island of Manhattan across the Hudson River tO’ points south. 199 One of the most impcjrtant links of this system is not even in New York, hut in Connecticut. The Merritt Parkway, by-passing the communities of Green- wich, Stamford, and Norwalk with their suburbs, is perhaps the most perfect parkway yet c(jnceived by engineers. It is a divided highway, completely land- scaped, with no grade crossings, no cross traffic, and no glary direct lighting: reflectors set in the curb outline the road for many feet ahead. Traff ' ic is always traveling at forty-five miles an hour, and no lumhering trucks slow it down. d ' he most important facts are these, however. During the first three months of operation on this parkway, only 46 accidents were reported, 18 of which re- sulted in i)ers(mal injury and none of which were fatal. During the same period between the same p(jints on the Poston Post Road which parallels it, 1 1 x acci- dents occurred, one of which was fatal. Cfxmpare this with the 1937 score of 186 when there was no parkway! While ])arkways around congested ai ' eas are excellent for re-routing through traffic, autornobilists are .still subject to the narrow country highways between cities, h ' requeixtly slowed down by local village traffic thnxugh traffic is finding it more and nxcxre difficult to get through. In some states, notably Massachu- setts, New jei ' sey, ami Maryland, fast exjxress highwavs are being constructed aroiuxd small villages and towns. These express highways carrv through-traffic directly to important cities without the encumbering hjcal traff ' ic. Notable among these highways are Route 9 in Massachusetts between Boston and Worcester, Route I in New Jersey between Newark and Trenton, and Route 40 iix Mary- land between Aberdeen and Baltimox ' e. Oxnstructed mainly for fast travel, they carry autcxmobilists safely and cpiicklv between these points. d ' he most inxixortant proldem of present-day traffic control, however, is not the routing of traff ' ic around cities, nor the hastening of traff ' ic between cities, but the control of intracity cxmgestion itself. Narrow streets, congested inter- sections, lack of jxarking facilities — all these problems in themselves contribute to this one great problenx. One factcxr, of course, is through traffic. W herever it cannot be routed ai ' ound, through traffic should be carried by exjxress ramps, tunnels, or viaducts, examples of which are the W est Side Ramp of New York, the Pulaski Skyway of Newark, the Orleans Street Viaduct of Baltimore, and the proposed sub-Man- hattan tunnel in New York. .Another problem is jxarking. Insufficient parking areas, jiarking restrictions, and narrow streets result in violation of parking laws, double parking, and in- creased congestion. Solutif)ns to the problem are sjxecial buildings designed with several jxarking lots. Many cities have expended great amounts of money to widen streets and install diagonal parking. In several cities, stores jmi ' chase or rent lots for jxarking, while in ashington, D. C., a large store has built a tw(j or three-fhjored ell expressly for parking. But the maiix pi ' oblem is, as Chief Thomas H. AlacDonald, U. S. Bureau of Public Roads so pointedly puts it, that “the man on the street thinks we have to go in on present right of ways, the streets that grew up from cowjxaths.” In other words, in order to provide a program of bigger and better streets, the people must stand fully behind the government. Oixe must not infer that the jxeople ai ' e unanimously against better highways. The Merritt Parkway, already mentioned, built with the cooperaton of the Fairfield Couixty Planning Associa- 900 tion by the state of Connecticut, stands as an example of what public-spirited people can do. But, on the other hand, when the city of Detroit decided to widen Woodward Avenue, it took $10,000,000 and ten years just to acquire the right of way. One of the favorite expressions of the American businessman is, “How much?”. Undoubtedly that is the first thought when something new is offered for sale. And the answer here is, “Plenty.” When a bill for the construction of transcontinental intercity super-highways was introduced into Congress recently, the cost was estimated at many billions of dollars. It was estimated further that tolls would never pay for them. Quite true, when tolls are estimated at so much per car or so much per person. Tax- ation? Of course not; taxes are high enough as it is. But new highways must be paid for, and the people must pay for them; therefore, tolls must be levied on the people who u se the roads. In Xew York City there are three main traffic arteries across the Hudson River. There is a toll of fifty cents on each of these routes, which are two miles in length. In other words, it costs over 25 cents a mile to travel between Xew ork and Xew Jersey; yet people think nothing of it. It is estimated that an automo- bilist can keep the running cost down to one or two cents a mile on open country roads. It is also estimated that it costs two, three, and four times that much to operate a car in congested traffic. Would it not seem logical that tourists wou ' d pay two or three cents a mile to go around congestion rather than four to eight cents to go through traffic? If you come right down to it, a toll of a penny a mile for a new highway is not exorbitant. An automobilist could go fifty miles on a half a dollar. But, you say, it was estimated that tolls would not pay for a new highway system. X o, when they are figured at so much per car. For example, let’s return to the Mer- ritt Parkway. hen this highway is completed, it will cost around $27,000,000. It was estimated that during the first three months, about 350,000,000 vehicle- miles of travel were covered at an average of from 20,000 to 25,000 cars per day. Suppose there were a toll of one cent per mile per car. It does not take much mathematics to figure that during the first three months there would have been a revenue of $3,500,000 and that the parkway would have paid for itself in a little over two years. One might say that it would be expensive for the people who use it often. It would be no more expensive than traveling two miles between Xew York and Xew Jersey at the rate of twenty-five cents a mile. Furthermore, the people who use it more ought to pay a little more. But, regardless of cost, a new highway system will soon become an absolute necessity, just as national defense i.s a necessity today. Sometime, perhaps in the near future, perhaps not for many decades, super-highways will cross and re- cross this continent, perhaps even linking other continents. Traffic will zoom a ' ong at a rate of one hundred miles an hour. Some of us, while we travel along one of these highways of the future, may be able to look back and wonder how we ever managed to remain alive in the present-day muddle of congestion, which clogs our antiquated thoroughfares, while the spectre of death lurks at the crossroads and jeers. FINIS ESSAY By Clairk Connorton SEVKXTY-F IVE YEARS AFTER January thirleentli of this year marked the seventy-hfth anniversary of the death of a man I feel certain in saying we all know. A hnal glimpse at this man would show him to be a poverty-stricken patient in a charity ward of the Belle- vue Hospital in New York. His only earthly possessions were the shabby clothes on his back, and a tattered wallet containing thirty-eight cents and a scrap of paper bear.ng the words — Dear friends and gentle hearts!’’ Undoubtedly this was the title of an unwritten song, for the man was Stephen Collins Foster. Many dear friends and gentle hearts form the backgrouml of Stephen Eos ter’s life, for he was only one of many children. The attitude of his parents, members of the [ ioneer aristocracy of Pittsburgh, was unfortunate. If they had only possessed the knowledge of child training and development that modern psychologists teach today, they might have known that Stephen’s moody, dreamy ways of his youth were mereiy an outlet for his strange musical talent. Of the entire family it was probably Stephen’s brother, Morrison, who best understood him. W ' e are indebted to Morrison for the jireservation of letters and material from which resulted his hue, sympathetic biography of his brother. With great- est sincerity Morrison later wrote of Stephen: “Stephen . . . needed only elementary instruction, for his rapid brain anil quick perception scorned the slow progress by the beaten path, and he leaped forward to a comprehension of the whole scope of the piano by the force of his great musical genius. But he was not content to rely on inspiration alone for his guidance in mu- sic. He studied deeply, and burned much midnight oil over the works of the masters, especially Mozart, Beethoven, and Weber. They were his delight, and he struggled for years and sounded the profoundest deidhs of musical science. The simple melodies which he gave to the public were not the accidental rays from an uncultured brain, but were the result of the most thorough and labor- ious analysis of harmonies, and when he completed them and launched them on the world, he knew they would strike favorably the ear of the most critical as well as unlearned in music.’’ Morrison’s feelings were not shared by the other members of the family, whose attitude was characteristic of most Americans in the nineteenth century. The cultivation of material things, the physical necessities of life, was the chief consideration, and Stephen’s ta ' ent was not taken seriously nor encouraged. A’m. Foster, his father, hail his own ideas of music. In his scrap book was pasted a clipping from an 1830 magazine which read: “Music is, doubtless, a delightful accom])lishment : it ‘hath charms to soothe 202 the savage beast and soften dull rocks.’ All this I believe and acknowledge to be true. But, I would humbly submit to the young ladies of this precocious, intel- lectual and highly accomplished generation, that all sounds which are producable from a piano are not Music! Oh! is it not a torture to sit with sad civility and listen to that disease called a popular song. Why the thing is more contagious than the cholera. Every amateur catches a popular tune ; and one has to listen to it for the thousand and first time, varied only by the blunders and afifectations of the players.” — and that was one hundred and nine years ago. With his parents taking such an attitude, it is no wonder that they did not realize he could exercise his natural talents and make them his life work. As a child Stephen disliked t he routine and discipline of the class-room although his scholastic standing was high. He took great delight in wandering through the woods near his home with his books and pencils. In his solitude he acquired an appreciation for the simple beauties of nature. Had he been given musical traih- ing at an early age, his music would, perhaps, have lost its simple, unaffected style, but Stephen’s task would have been far easier. [Musical inspirations kept entering his head, but with no training, he was at a loss to interpret them. No one realized that he would be a misfit as long as he pursued any other vocation. The simplicity of his style is revealed in his plantations songs, which are some of his most natural contributions. It is, indeed, odd that aside from a short visit to Louisville as a child, he saw little of the real South ; but Pittsburgh is at the head of the Ohio River, and boats traveled regularly from there to New Orleans, carrying cargoes and negro deckhands who furnished a touch of the far South. Later, when Stephen went to Cincinnati for a few years he came still closer to Southern life on the wharves and docks where goods for his bro- ther’s warehouse were landed. Olivia Pise, a “bound girl,” a type of servant in the Foster household, probably gave Stephen his first impressions of negro sing- ing, for it was she who took him to negro church revival meetings. The southern atmosphere acquired in this manner is revealed in Oh! Sus- anna, one of his plantation songs, which with its nonsensical verse and rollicking tune, took an immediate hold upon the public. The song even traveled to foreign lands. In 1853 a writer tells how he heard “a wandering Hindoo minstrel sing Oh! Susamia in Delhi.” The gold rush of 1848 is probably responsible for mak- ing th’s song most typically an American folk-song. The theme song of the gold searchers (jn the trail and around the campfire was Oh! Susa)ina and its carefree lilt endeared it to the hearts of these pioneers. Foster’s songs such as Oh! Sus- anna, S’eUy Ely, Old Black Joe, and The Camptoum Races may be called folk- songs because they have become far more important in the minds of the people who sing them than their composer. Nevertheless, Stephen Foster will always be remembered for his Old Folks at Home. Portraying the feeling uppermost in his own mind, his overpowering love for his own home, this song with its simple, homely sentiments has proved to be one of the world’s most famous songs, ranking with Home Szv,eet Home. Its simplicity is amazing and the repetition of the lines would be monotonous in anything short of a masterpiece. Stephen also wrote a type of song diliferent from the plantation variety. One, extremely popular today, is the tender love song, J cannic With the Light Brozvn Hair. Perhaj)s it is not known to you that Jeannie was his wife, for in 1850 af- ter a short courtship he married Jane McDowell, a beautiful young lady with auburn hair. Stephen always claimed he first fell in love with her hair. W’hen he journeyed to New York in i860, it was without Jane, and in the unfriendly cosmojxditan atmos])here of this strange city, he could not adjust himself to his environment. Horn with such an inherent love for his home, he needed the surroundings of his youth and his relatives and friends. Without them his resistance to the drinking habit was lowered and a decline commenced. ' I ' he decline was quite rapid, for in the course of four short years, Stephen Foster, a popular composer, earning in the vicinity of $1,600 a year, became a poor wretch of a man without even money to pay for food or lodging. Death came to him on January 13, 1864 as the result of injuries received from a fall. Thus ended the life of Stephen Foster, who began his career as a popular song writer in an age when the peojile of America lacked culture. They were more intent upon commerce than the hne arts, and industrial prosperity was their chief goal. They were a nation rich in material wealth, but not far advanced in intellectual pursuits. Musicians, artists, and writers were striving to gain re- cognition. Foster was a pioneer in the field of the popular song. His composi- tions express the true pioneer spirit of his age. Picture, if you can, the struggle of this man to set to music the depths and heights of human emotions, the joys, sorrows, longings, ami ambitions of an age when culture was seeking to gain a foothold on the lives of a commercial and industrial-minded people. Today we realize his great success, and appreciate the true value of his melodies that ex- press the deeply cherished sentiments of the American spirit, and the human spirit the world over. From being the popular songs of their day, thought des- tined to an early oblivion, they have survived the test of time, and will always remain dear to the hearts of the American people. 204 VALEDICTORY By Mary Jane Claflin TUSITALA There is a thing called the enthusiasm of youth. Now the honorable Mr. Noah Webster describes this enthusiasm as a “state of impassioned emotion, strong excitement of feeling on behalf of a cause”, while i Ir. Locke adds that it “arises not from divine revelation or reason, but from a warmed or overweening imagination.” Now I am far from quibbling with Mr. WTbster or Mr. Locke, who are be- yond my sphere, but, coming down to the facts of the case, 1 wonder if enthus- iasm is such a heady, senseless passion as they describe. Isn’t a certain amount of it, limited if you wish, a necessary ingredient of all optimism and so of a happy life? Enthusiasm, or, as William Lyon Phelps puts it, “the being inter- ested in things”, is the riser, the yeast and the baking jjowder, in life. It belongs not only nor even largely to the realm of youth but dwells among the older peo- ple too. As you look over the circle of your acquaintances, you usually find that the best liked and the most interesting have the largest supply of it. Enthusiasm for life includes a certain friendliness for it and for all living things, and a certain courage in meeting life’s trials. Now I am an optimist, and, according to Mr. Phelps who ' spoke here about a month ago, optimists are not such rare articles in the world of today. Now an optimist has to have this en- thusiasm and courage of which we have been speaking. W ithout it, he would be weighted down beneath the vast burden of troubles which everyone thinks he has. Yet a true optimist is never a Pollyanna. !He recognizes, if he is worth his salt, that the world is so full of a number of things which are evil as well as good that life is a constant struggle. Evil won’t ever be righted by ignoring it. The optimist merely uses his sense of humor, his interests, and his courage to tide him over the difificulties. In Scotland about ninety years ago there was a man who fought against al- most insup portable difficulties, who fought against the disap proval of his parents that he might write, who fought for what most of us consider our common heri- tage, the right to live. From his father he had the inheritance of a love of ro- mance and adventure, a yearning for the unusual, and a certain skill in using vivid words. From his mother came a cheerful disposition — and a weak chest. . s a child he lay through the long li ghts, his little body wracked with cough- ing, waiting for the dawn that was so long in coming. He shrank with terror at the awful spectre of the wind upon his mighty horse, his trappings jangling, rid- ing through the town of a stormy evening. This child lived in a land of his own imagination, cut off from other chil- dren and their games. Sitting in the little white bed, he traveled lands as ye: 305 untouched by foot of man ; he sailed seas whose blue waters had never before been shaded by a sail. His nurse often sat beside him declaiming with dramatic vigor hymns and verses from the Bible or reading to him, establishing in him as she did so the undying lo e (jf hooks which helped him through his darkest }ears. Visits to his grandparents’ home at Colinton shed (jccasional rays of sunshine on his life, warming the bud to blossom beneath the kindly influence of cousins of his own age, whom he easily beguiled hour after hour with tales woven from the fabric of his own imagination. After intermittent doses of secondar} ' schooling, he was shoved by his father into the family profession of engineering at the University of Edinburgh. The delicate boy, who always carried the lighted lamp of fancy behind his brown eyes, got very little of the immensely practical trade of engineering. Ever since he had won a Bible for composing the best story on Moses when he was still too young to write ' for himself, he hatl wished to be a great author, and he said so now. Astonished at his son’s entertaining ideas of his own about his future, the father made him take u]i law with the understanding dhat he should use only his spare time for writing; but, although the lad studied law and hnally passed his bar exams, he had never a case to his credit. All this time he had been quietly training himself in the mastery of the Eng- lish language; and when, on returning from vagabonding Jabroad, he produced lively writings colored by that imagination which had led him through the lands of fancy in his youth, his father admitted his mistake and entered as fully into his son’s work as any father could have done. And then, spurred by his love of adventure, he traveled to the New World, crossing the ocean on a ship which rolled interminably on the swells. He tra- versed this continent on one of the first trains, often lying fever-stricken on the hard bench which was the only comfort a second class coach afforded, often even riding on top of the cars amid the dirt and smoke in order to catch a breath of air. California was unkind to him. Penniless and on the point of death he was working continually. Eventually an allowance from his father occasioned a change in fortune, and he married an American woman whom he had met at an artist colony in I ' rance. In truth, perhaps it had been partly this American sweet- heart who had beckoned him from Scotlaml to America. They spent their honeymoon, one of the strangest in history, in a deserted silver mine high in the Sierras. There were all sorts of inconveniences, and the slightest exertion sent him to his bed. Even then he had the courage to believe that he would be .strong a,gain and that his marriage would survive to be to him the joy it was to other people. Even then his aim was not merely to live, but to live, to be happy, and to write. From this time on, his life became an Odyssey in search of health. Hike Aeneas in his wanderings, he traveled many lands looking for a place to settle 306 and establish his little capital which should send out literary works for the ages to remember. He went back again to Scot’and, to the Alps, and he met his Carthage at Skerryspore in England. While he stayed there, he seldom got out- side the house and for weeks lay pale and suffering on the brink of death — afraid to move for fear of starting the hemorrhage again. Yet in the face of the great- est odds, some of his greatest works were sent from his sick bed; and finally, af- ter the death of his father, he sailed again for America. His Cumae was Sar- anac, a little town in the Adirondacks, where he spent the coldest winter of his life tobogganing and skating in fur coats three inches thick and living in a lit- tle house where boiling water on the stove retained a chunk of ice in the centre. Xow, leaving this wintry climate, he sailed for the South Seas in the yacht Casco. For three years he wandered about the pleasant islands stopping now at one, now at another, and making friends at all. It was here that he first admitted to himself that he could never return to Scotland. His health here improved, yet it would have meant death for him to go back to his native land. At last, at Samoa, he stopped and built himself a large house at Vailima look- ing out over the colorful tropic sea and bordered on two sides by wooded streams which gave the place its name, the meeting of the waters. Here with his wife, her son by her first marriage, and his wife’s sister, he spent the most enjoyable vears of his life writing and taking part in the life of the island. The natives were his friends, and crews of boats which put in at that port were almost al- ways entertained at his house. Then one day groups of natives in black clothing could be seen cutting out a path to the top of Mt. Vaea, which stood near his Vailima home. Their backs glistened in the sunlight ; all singing and talking were hushed. In the hot fore- noon even the birds were silent. A short while afterward Tusitala, the story tel- ler, as the natives called him, was being carried under the tattered Union Jack, which had always flown over the house, to the mountain top where he was buried — looking out over the sea — After a time, a tomb was erected there, Samoan fashion, and on one of the bronze plates was graven : “Under the zvlde and starry sky Dig the grave and let me lie, Glad did I live and gladly die, And I laid me down zvith a zoill. This be the z ' erse yon grave for me, Here he lies zvhcre he longed to be; Home is the sailor, home from the sea, And the hunter, home from the hill.” You all know whom I mean ; it could be no other than Robert Louis Steven- son. His bounding, lively novels have made him live for us as no other author has lived. He has the power to make grown-up and dignified businessmen boys 207 again, and to take them a-pirating aboard the Hispaniola, to excite both their hate and their admiration for the Master of Kallantrae, and to set them a-tingle with his own love of vagabonding. Robert Louis Stevenson wrote as he imagined himself to be, and so strongly does his impression persist that we find ourselves surprised at finding him, a wan, emaciated figure in a sick room. His imagination makes his books glow. His enthusiasm, his boyishness, his color are unique. Here is a man who did not for- get his own childhood, who treated children seriously, who had the imagination of a boy and the mental breadth of a man. Herein lay his secret in the “Child’s Garden of erses.’’ Here, and in his lovable personality, is the charm which effected all who knew him and all who read his books. He was a man who was an optimist, not ignoring the truth, but fighting difficulties with the tenacity of a tiger, who held death at bay for forty-four years. He would not die; he re- fused to be an invalid ; he faced life with eternal courage, eternal hope. Classmates : W e are leaving this High School this night, leaving the protec- tion. the guidance, and the companionship which has helped us so far. From now on the fight is ours. W’e are plunging tonight into the sea which so many have gone before us. Some have reached the lands of promise ; others have fallen along the way. Xo one cares how we get along except our families and the few friends we have made. The responsibility is ours. We must have enthusiasm; we must have courage. Life can’t be lived successfully without them. There is a story told of Robert the Bruce who was one of Scotland’s heroes. An usurper held his throne and again and again the Bruce raised men to regain it ; again and again he was repulsed and sent to prison. Yet no prison could hold him. As surely as they thought he was put away for good, he would appear again with renewed attempts. Finally when he was dying, he told one of the friends at his bedside that he wanted him to do what seemed perhaps a barbarous deed. He wanted him to cut out his heart and take it in a little casket to the Holy L nd. He had always wished to go on a crusade, and in death he wished his heart to rest in Palestine. He died, and was mourned and honored by all true hearts of Scotland. This friend and a band of Scots joined the Crusades — I have forgotten which one — and bore his heart in a casket into the East. There was a day when the Sara- cens pressed hard on every side and the Scots were forced to give way. The Bruce’s friend came to the front of the fighting and, holding the casket high, he shouted “Men of Scotland, here is the heart of Robert the Bruce!” Then he threw it into the midst of the enemy. ‘‘There is the heart of Robert the Bruce; get it !” That was all. The next day the Scots bore the casket in triumph and placed it upon the sepulchre of Christ. Classmates, here is life. Go get it! 308 Reflections RW. R.N. J DN. D.W J.A W. A.
