AARON Jr. “Tiger” “Cutie” “Curley” Lincoln School. Football 3, 4; Baseball 3, 4; Model Air- plane Club 3, 4; Poetry Club 2, 3; Outing Club 2, 3, 4. Harry Joseph Aaron Jr., to those of us who know lum well, is “Curley”. Harry’s remarkable football abil ty will long be remembered by the many friends he has gained by his sociable manner. Numerous sport activities have not affected his scholastic standing. It is a real pleasure to be known as a friend of Harry’s. HOLYOKE T. ADAMS “Hokie” Lincoln School. Band 1, 2, 3; Orchestra 1 ; Hi-Y 4. Hokie is the boy with the big smile, and a pleasant greet- ing for everyone. He plans to go to the University of Maine where he will take up agriculture. Some day we may see him as the gentleman farmer. ROBERT J. AHERN “Bob” “Bugs” St. Mary’s School. Football 2, 3; Swimming 1. “Bugs” entered Melrose High as a small timid bey. He is quite a person for excitement. Around the school, “Bugs” has won many friends with his pleasing personality, and we hope he keeps on winning them for years to ' come. As he is leaving us to enter the business world, we wish him many successful years ahead. Adios, our friend. FREDERIC W. ALTHER “Fred” Calvin Coolidge School. Football 1 ; Swimming 3. 4. Fred, one of the larger boys in this year’s class, has dark hair and brown eyes. Because of his excellent character and disposition, he has many friends. Due to sickness, he was unable to continue playing football after his first year. Fred, who gets fair marks in his classes, plans to enlist in the navy next year. 16 JEAN RUTH ALVORD “Ruthie” Roosevelt School. Frcslnnan Girls’ Club; Orchestra i, 2; Band 1; Outing Club 2, 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Basketball 3; “Mikado” 4. A grand person was certainly added to our class when Ruthie entered the Melrose High School. Her jolly laugh- ter and sparkling eyes have won her many friends. She has scored many points in athletics and scholastic ratings as well as with the opposite sex. Ruthie plans to enter Sim- mons in the fall, and we know Simmons will be proud of her. DORIS G. AMBYE “Dot” “Gerry” Crafts Club; Girls’ Club 4. A vivacious senior with pretty blue eyes and a contagious laugh — A gal who, contrary to custom, wears her hair rib- bons on the back of her hair — A smooth dancer and a whiz with pencil and paints — There you have Dot Ambye. Dot is bound for a junior college to study art. MARCIA ANDERSON “Dopey” “Red” Calvin Coolidge School. Basbetball 1 ; Volleyball 1, 2. “Dopey” is our red-headed farmerette. Along with her success in raising chicks, she also has “raised” many new friends. Her red hair is a stop-sign for one to note her five feet of good humor and pleasing personality. During the summers and vacations, if you should chance to be rid- ing by in Maine, you could see her in the midst of young chicks or hunting. Yes “Dopey” — you’re a great friend to know ! ELEANOR F. ARNOLD “Michael” “Boss” Freshman Girls’ Club; Swimming 1, 2, 3; Bowling 2; Red Cross 1, 2, 3, 4. Shadows must have fallen on the sunny Philippines when Eleanor decided to tread the stately corridors of dear old Melrose High, and our school will not be the same after she leaves. Remember a flash of black, pure white, and red which came to our eye as she g’ave us a smile that made more than one heart become a supercharger. Eleanor plans to become an air-hostess after training at the Mass. Me- morial Hospital. 7 FRANCIS J. ASHLEY “Fran” “Jessie James” “Flash” Lincoln School. Football 2; Cross Country 1, 3; Basketball 1 ; Gymnastics 2, 3, 4. Fran came to us from the Lincoln School as a timid little boy who craved excitement and got it throughout his stay here. Francis never participated much in school sports, but his sandlot footbabll and baseball is hard to surpass. Fran goes out this June to seek a job in the business world, and we’re all wishing him happy years ahead. WILLIAM T. BABCOCK “Bill” “Willie” “Frisco Kid” Fletcher School, Cambridge. Cross Country 2, 3, 4; Track 1. A good sport and a great friend is our pal “Willie”. He came from Cambridge to join our ranks in this school. Bill has made a great success as a cross country man. In four years his developed personality has gained for him friends among teachers as well as his fellow students. The “Frisco Kid” has intentions of becoming a super salesman. Happy Landings, “Bat”. BEVERLY B. BACALL “Bev” “Babe” Peabody High, Pittsburgh, Pa. Operetta 3 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Speakers’ Bureau 4. Tracing to its origin a laugh that practically bubbles over, you’re sure to find Bev surrounded by some of “the Breth- ren”. Although she has only been with us for a little more than two years, she’s unquestionably one of “the gang”. Plans forming seem to point toward Katherine Dell’s school where Bev hopes tO ' become a doctor’s secretary. Here’s to Lots of color and no corn from all the G. G s . CLARENCE W. BAIER “Bill” “B-7” Calvin Coolidge School. Football 1 ; Operetta 2; Hi-Y 3, 4; Speakers’ Bureau, 4; Tennis, 4. This jolly gentleman is none other than Bill Baier. It would be needless to describe his unusual personality, be- cause everyone knows Bill for what he is — -“the mosta of the besta”. Mr. Wilson is considering pickling some of Bill’s corniest jokes in formaldehyde, as a warning for fu- ture punsters. Indispensible to “The Brethren”, and in de- mand socially, “B-7” will be mourned by Melrose, for he intends to hibernate at Bowdoin for the next four years. 18 ELEANOR L. BARBER Roosevelt School. Cloak and Plume; Freshman Girls ' Club; Bowling 2; Girls’ Cub 3, 4; Speakers’ Bureau 3, 4; Operetta 4; Parliamentary Law 4. You cannot be around Eleanor very long without being deluged by her charming personality. She has .shown us her ability to work at and succeed in whatever she attempts. She will have a chance to show her smile and cheery greet- ing when she reaches Mass. State. PHYLLIS BARR “Piddah” “Phil” Roosevelt School. Alinstrel Show 1 ; Freshman Iritis Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4. Phyllis left the Rooseveh School and entered Melrose High School, where she fulfilled her requirements to go in- to 1 training at the Melrose Hospital. Although Piddah likes a good laugh with her friends and enjoys taking part in spoits, she enjoys much better being in a comfortable chair, eating an apple, and reading a good book. JUDITH BEAN “Judy” “Jude” Hampton Academy. Girls’ Club 1, 4; Craft Club 4; Swimming Club 1, 4. Great individuality is Judy’s striking characteristic. She is always on the “go”, never lacking pep. There is never a dull moment for Judy’s friends when she is around. In spite of her great sense of humor, she can at times be seri- ous too, which she proves by considering studying art. Mel- rose will certainly be at a loss after her graduation. MARTHA A. REAN “Beanie” Roosevelt School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Poetry Club 2, 3, Vice-president 4; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Key Killers Klub 4; Greek Club 4; Basketball 2. An entree of perseverance, a generous serving of intelli- gence and initiative, a side dish of wit, topped off with a heaping portion of originality and stimulating frankness re- presents Martha’s personality. Her pet peeve is waiting for people; her weakness, candy, especially chocolates. Af- ter four years at Boston University, she will embark on a career of teaching English. Smooth Sailing, Marty! 19 CLIFFORD G. BECKFORD “Kip” “Kippy” Calvin Coolidge School. Kip, although not very tall, is virtually a live wire. He is a great lover of sports, and is a master of hockey. Al- though he hails from the “sticks”, he keeps up with the best. He has gained many friends with his carefree manner. He is a lover of the sea, and so he intends to join the Navy and become a first-class electrician. LOUIS RALPH BECKWITH “Lou” “Louie” Calvin Coolidge School. Four years ago, a bit shy and bashful, this lad entered the portals of M. H. S. He is a brilliant student (at times), and excells in bookkeeping, and spending week-ends in Dor- chester. (Why?) Although he never took part in sports, he has been an ardent rooter. Lou plans to go to Bentley’s next year. Well pal — don ' t break your “Beck-with” hard work. LIXWOOD G. BENNETT “Lindy” “Ben” “Benita” Freshman Baseball. This is the fellow known to us all for his witty remarks and ready smile. Lindy came to us in the fall of ’35 fresh out of Saugus. Any time you want an old joke see “Ben”, for his hobby is collecting them. Sports world finds him fishing during the summer. In future years instead of call- ing the iceman, you can call Lindy. He intends to take up refrigeration. JAMES EDWARD BERRIGAX “Bunny” “Jimmy” St. Mary’s School. James came to us four years ago from St. Mary’s School. He was a quiet boy, but M. H. S. soon livened him up. During his stay at M. H. S., he has made many friends by his unfailing sense of humor. His plans for the future are undecided, but we know he will be a success in whatever he undertakes. 20 ROBERT C. B 1 RDSALL “Bob” “Birdie” “Brimsek” Calvin Coolidge School. Lens and Shatter i, 2; Hi-Y 1. 2, 3. “Birdie”, one of the more notorious members of our class, is also ' one of our most misunderstood ones. He is really a good sport, as is shown by the fact that he went out for hockey for four years. Although he never made the squad, he supported it by his presence at most of their games. JOHN WILLIAM BLATCHFORD “Ripper” “Snitcher” “Stimey” Roosevelt School. Golf 3, 4; Model Airplane Club 2. 3; Hockey 2, 3. Jack entered Melrose High in 1936 from the Roosevelt School. His ability to draw has won him many friends. “Snitche r” is an outside member of the Imprint Staff, and draws the familiar sport sketches on the fourth page. He plans tO ' attend Art School to better his talent in the field of free-hand drawing. THEODORE JAMES BOECKER “Shadow” “Teddy” “Champ” Masque Wig 2, 3, 4; Gymnastic Chib 1, 2; Rifle Club 1, 4; Track 2; Basketball, Assistant Manager 3, Manager 4; Annual Play 4; Christmas Plays 2, 3, 4; Log Staff. Teddy breezed into Melrose High in 1936, from St. Louis, Missouri, and with him came a giggle. Had it not been for the giggle, it is very probable that Teddy’s presence would have been undiscovered. Even though he is probably the smallest member of the class, his value is not to be measured by his size, but by his many activities. NANCY J. BOLTON “Nan” “Nance” “Goody” Roosevelt School. Freshmen Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club; Lens and Shutter, Secretary-Treasurer 4. When you’re feeling blue, Nancy is the one to help you. With her pleasant disposition and sense of humor, she can cheer you in a very short time. She has attained high marks in her studies, but this does not keep her from outside ac- tivities. Nancy plans to return next year as a “P. G.”, and will then enter some hospital to become a nurse. 21 ELIE S. BOURQUE “Buck” Saint Mary’s School. Gymnastics 2. Elie answers to the name of anything from “Buck” to “Bucky”. His ambition is to join the navy. He is interested in baseball and football. Because of his generosity and per- sonality, he has many friends. He will share with you whatever he has. Elie will find friends in the navy. He is a great little fellow. FLORENCE JEANNETTE BOWSER “Flipp” “Sis” Calvin Coolidge School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Outing Club i ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Junior Red Cross 4. “Flipp” entered M. H. S. in ’36 from the Calvin Coolidge School. This “Ray” of sunshine is full of laughter and fun. She loves to go bowling and swimming. “Flipp” in- tends to go out into the business world until that “certain day” comes. Here’s to you, “Flipp”. CHARLES I. BOYNTON Jr. “Charlie” “C.I.” “B-i” “Dull One” Lincoln School. Operetta 3; Speakers’ Bureau 4; Hi-Y 3, 4 - Look out Norwich, here he comes, the personification of that old proverb, “Eat, drink, and be merry ; for tomorrow you may die”. That in itself marks him as a worthy mem- ber of the brethren, in which he has charge of all surveys. This duty takes most of his time. However, he still finds some opportunities to carry on his ardent antics. Wher- ever and whenever in trouble, “B-i”, remember the 3 B’s! JOHN STANLEY BRADY “Jack” “General” Roosevelt School. Football 2, 3, 4; Rifle Club 2, 3, 4; Rifle Team 2, 3, 4. Jack’s outstanding record in school work and outside ac- tivities has made him very popular among his classmates. Four years at M. H. S. does not complete his education. Upon graduation Jack advances to West Point to solve the problem of National Defense. 22 BARBARA W. BRAGDON “Wendy” “Dynamite” “Barbs” Calvin Coolidgc School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Swimming Club 3; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Key Killers Klub; Nuntius Staff 1, 2; Freshman Field Hockey; Basketball 2. Wherever “The gang” is, you’ll always be sure to find Barbs in the midst of it, contributing her share to the fun. Her pep, good nature, and enthusiasm are appreciated by all. Future plans are bent toward Radcliff. Success, we know will come to Barbs. Here’s to — Lots of color and no corn — from all the “G. G.’s”. VIRGINIA MAE BROADHEAD “Ginny” “Ginger” Roosevelt School. Girls’ Club 3, 4; Basketball 3; Baseball 2, 3 ; Hockey 3. Ginny came here in 1936 full of fun and with a good word for everyone. She was a ray of sunshine on gloomy days, for she could always manufacture a laugh. There’s never a dull momem when Ginny ’.s around. She has out- side interests, of course, but we hope she will be always as she is in school. CHARLOTTE HELEN BROOKS “Hawaii” Charlotte has recently attended the San Pedro High School of California. In November of her senior year, she came to M. H. S. from Honolulu. She has entertained many of her friends by doing the Hula Hula dance. Among the many sports she enjoys, diving is her favorite. She likes to dance and has pen-pals from several countries. As for the future, Charlotte has not decided what she will do. ROBERT H. BROWER “Bob” “B-2” Roosevelt School. Cloak and Plume, Pres.; Hi-Y 3, 4; Speakers’ Bureau, Pres., 4; Key Killers’ Klub 4, Pres.; Imprint 4 ; Nuntius 2, Editor-in-Chief. Rabid, ambitious, and high-honored ; strongly-opinioned, impatient with ignorance, and horrified by stupidity; lover of fun, hater of puns, and continually good-natured ; that’s Bob Brower, a most prominent socialite and member of the Brethren. Taking his subjects nonchalantly, B2 receives monotonous “A’s” without letting his studies interfere with his varied social activities. After Harvard is finished with him. Bob. in the likeness of a College Professor, might teach our kiddies their foreign languages. 23 LILLIAN G. BROWN “Gert” Cahiii Coolidge School. Freshmen Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 4; Outing Club 4. Lillian is one of our classmates never to be forgotten. She has won many friends by her ever-ready wit and hu- mor. Lillian plans to take a P. G. course, and will then en- ter Symmes Arlington to be a nurse. We all know that she can accomplish whatever she sets out to do. ROLA X. BUCCI “Dimples” “Blue eyes” “Rol” Lincoln School. Volleyball 1, 2; Basketball 1, 2. A giggle, a chuckle, then a laugh, an old familiar voice — you have it, its Rola. Her sense of humor that bursts forth at unexpected moments has made her personality contag- ious. She wishes to attend Burdett and reach the top in the business world. M. JANE BUCKLEY Lincoln School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Swimming Club 1 ; Cloak and Plume; Xuntius 2; Operetta 2; Key Killers’ Klub 4; Greek Club 2, 3, 4. For four short years one of the finest and quietest girls of our class has studied her way to fame. Everybody will remember Jane for her willingness to help the less intelli- gent of her classmates, and for the fun she’s had doing it. When not using the grey matter. Jane spends her t ine at tennis, baseball games, and swimming. Boston University awaits her. THOMAS BUCKLEY “Beanie” “Tom” “Buck” St. Mary’s School. Tom entered Melrose High School in 1934. He is very quiet and reserved, but a wonderful person to have for a friend. He has worked for a florist for six years and may often be seen driving the delivery truck on Saturdays. He wants to become a floral designer when he graduates as he enjoys this profession very much. 24 ALBERT WILLIAM BURNS “Birdie” “Al” Calvin Coolidge School. Basketball i. As soon as Birdie entered high school, he quieted down. He would have selected football his whole four years, but as fate would have it, his job held him back. In the near future he plans to become an electrical engineer or a law- yer. Into the future with Birdie goes the sincere admira- tion of all his friends. PAUL BURTON “Paul” “Burt” Calvin Coolidge. Baseball i ; Football i. Since Paul entered Melrose High in his freshman year, he has been continually winning friends with his pleasing personality. Although Burt didn’t take part in sports he was seen at most school activities. He plans to enter the advertising business, and we’re sure that he will succeed. JAMES LEO BYRNE “Jimmie” “Toe” “Jim” Lincoln School. Tennis 3, 4; Hock.ey 1, 2, 3, 4; Gymnas- tics 2; Basketball 1. Throughout his high school career, Jimmie has been an ardent supporter of our tennis and hockey teams. He has contributed greatly to the school’s laurels in these .sports. His main interest lies in art. On investigation, we find that Jimmie’s destination is to reach the top in the Commercial art field. DANIEL A. CALT “Danny” Roosevelt School. Hockey 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4. Baseball and hockey are the two sports which Dan has excelled in during his four years at Melrose High School. He made the second All-Scholastic hockey team his Junior year, and was on the first All-Scholastic tea n in his Senior year. hatever field Dan enters after High School, our best wishes gO ' with him. 25 JAMES L. CALT “Jim” “Shamus” “Moose” Roosevelt School. Baseball i, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 2, 3. James is a boy with a sunny smile and a cheerful disposi- tion. He likes all sports, particularly baseball. During high school, he has devoted much of his spare time to raising chickens. We understand that he is aiming for the busi- ness world and we hope he climbs high. BARBARA CANNELL “Bunny” Girls’ Club 3, 4. “Bunny” came to Melrose from Everett during her sop- homore year, bringing along a cheerful smile and a winning personality, and has taken an active part in school life since then. She enjoys swimming and tennis as outside activi- ties. Her special interest seems to be Home Management, and she plans to take up this study at Stoneleigh College in Rye, New Hampshire. JEAN M. CAPPER “Jeanie” “Cap” Freshman Girls’ Club;. Girls’ Clhb 3, 4; Le tts and Shutter 2; Riding Club 2, 3 ; Bowling Club 3 ; Euclidean Society 4. Where’s Jean? Well, just take a walk through the Fells- way, and when you find a tall, slender blonde mounted on horseback, you’ll know that your search has ended, lean also likes bowling, tennis, and dancing, but it is no secret that she can have a good time wherever she goes. Although Harvard is her favorite college, Jean plans to attend Mass. State next year. , SHELDON CAR BEE “Brother” Roosevelt School. Speakers’ Bureau 4. Sheldon, you all know, is a big six footer with a ready smile for everyone. He has an amiable way of talking which invites friendship aijd good conversation. Being a good student has no effect on his fun-loving nature as is plain to see. Brother will take up further studying at Bow- ■doin where we know he’ll not o nly increase his learning but enter into the higher circles of joy making. 26 PHILIP PAUL CARGILL “Phil” “F. K.” “Squacho” St. Mary’s School. Football i, 2, 3, 4; Baseball i, 2, 3, 4; Hockey 1, 4; Track 4; Golf 4; Poetry Club 4. It is hard to say whether Phil’s athletic ability or his pleas- ant smile and helpful attitude has been the greatest asset to M. H. S., but they have both contributed to making these short four years a term we will long remember. All in all, Phil’s career in high school has been IV al done, and the support of the whole school follows him in his future. BETTY CARMODY “Bets” “Happy” Lincoln School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Cloak and Plume; Bowling. 1 ; Riding 1 ; Operetta 2; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Corresponding Secretary 4; Imprint 4; Editor School Life 4. Presenting “Bets” with her bright blue eyes, long b’onde hair, and merry smile. During her four years at M. H. S. “Happy” has been busy collecting an abundance of friends and good times. Dancing is her first love as far as fun is concerned. Next fall Betty will swell the ranks of eager freshmen at Skidmore College. Here’s wishing you lots of color, Bets, and no corn. ELIZABETH G. CHAMPLIN “Betty” “Champ” Calvin Coolidge School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Cloak and Plume; Girls’ Club 3, 4. Although she is a petite person, Betty is gobs of fun and just bubbling over with clever remarks. Her scholastic re- cord has been w fine these four long years, but she has al- ways been able to find time to help a friend in need, or supply a cheery grin and hello to an otherwise dull room. Always wave your banners high, Champ ! DONALD H. CHAPLIN “Don” “Chappy” “Deacon” Calvin Coolidge School. Airplane Club 1, 2. Donald Chaplin, a bewildered freshman in 1936 and a still bewildered senior in 1940, has made, through these four years of high school, many friends. Don is ambitious and always ready to Jielp a friend. His chief hobbies are tin- kering with automobiles and criticising the weaker sex. Don ’s winning smile and pleasing personality will give him success in everything he does. 27 JAMES HOWARD CHETWYND “Chet” “Jim” Calvin Coolidge School. Basketball i. James is a tall six foot boy with a good complexion. He always has a smile for everyone and he is the bashful silent type. He graduated from the Calvin Coolidge School in the class of “31” and he entered the Melrose High School in “37”- James has a very gifted talent as an artist and a cartoonist. He has not made use of his talent, but he hopes to do SO ' in the future. MARGARET ANN CHISHOLM “Peggy” “Margie” Girls’ Club 4. Just imagine what we would have missed if Margaret, with her dark hair and sparkling black eyes, had not entered M. H. S. from Stoneham High. Her easy disposition has won her many friends. She is one of the quieter members of our class, and is a capable, industrious worker, who will certainly succeed in her chosen profession — nursing. RALPH MELCHER CHURCHILL Ralph “Church” Roosevelt School. Track 3; Outing Club 2, 3; Rifle Club 4. This friendly and happy-go-lucky fellow is liked by everyone, and is always willing to lend a helping hand to someone in need. Although Ralph’s only athletic activity has been track, he has shown a keen interest in all branches of sport especially skiing. He plans to enter Lowell In- stitute in the fall. ROLAND CLAFI.TN “Squint” “Claf” Malden Catholic. A transfer from Malden Catholic, Roland arrived at M. H. S. this year to complete his high school education. Well known by most Melrose High students, he renewed many friendships among his old pals, and, because of his likeable personality, a host of new acquaintances was numbered among his friends. “Oaf’s” future is veiled in uncertainty, since he is un- certain as to what field he will devote his talents ; however, we, his friends, are sure that he will come out on top in whatever venture he attempts. 28 MARY ELLA CLARK “Mibbie” “Mib” Calvin Coolidge School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Swimming i. “Mib” brought with her from the Calvin Coolidge School a sweet disposition that has won her many friends and un- til one knows her, “Mibbie” appears to be very quiet and reserved. When one hears a burst of laughter issuing forth from the corridors, one immediately knows that the “G. V G. L. C.” combination of which “Mibbie” is an active member is in the vicinity. Her ambition is to become a dental hy- gienist and we know that she will be one of the best. ROBERT S. CLARKE “Bob” “Claude” Calvn Coolidge. Model Airplane t, 2, 3. Bob is one of the best natured lads in the class of 194° He is a friend to all and is a great locker partner. He is an average scholar and intends to take engineering at North- eastern University. His friend-making ability will be a great asset in future life. He is noted for his pineapple clip. ROY CLUFF “Short-Gun” “Flash” “Think ' ’ Roosevelt School. Hi-Y 4; Cross Country 1, 3, 4; Track 2, 3- 4- Well described by “Doc” as a “long drink of water , Roy’s long legs have come in handy at the 8:15 bell many a morning. His happy-go-unlucky nature has gotten him in- to many a scrape, one of which, as it is well known in the high school driving circles, cost him not less than thirty dol- lars. See you in “Northeastern” Roy! CLAIRE COHEN “Clink” “Butch” Roosevelt School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club, 3; Outing Club 1; Freshman Minstrel Show; Operetta 2.

We wonder what lured him to Medford during his junior year (or do we wonder). Watch “old man depression” run for cover when “Wen” starts his business career. VIRGINIA E. HASKELL “Gin” “Ginnie” “Ginger” Calvin Coolidge School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Basketball 1, 2. Ginnie is full of fun and loves a good time. Her favorite pastime is dancing.

She has attained the height of five feet four and one-half inches, and has fluffy blond hair and danc- ing blue eyes. Her favorite interests are dancing, roller skat.ng, and swimming. On investigating, we find her des- tination is to reach the top as a millinery designer. MARJORIE LUCY HEATH “Margie” “Marge” Lincoln School. Minstrel Show 1 ; Pirates of Penzance 3. Marjorie could well be classed as the “class , giggler”, for she enjoys fun and likes to laugh. She has a pleasant man- ner and is always willing to help. Marjorie wishes to at- tend Wilfred Academy and become a first class hairdresser. We’ll be seeing you when we need a permanent. MILDRED LEE HENKE “Millie” Tulsa Central High School Masque and Wig 3 ; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Speakres’ Bureau 4; “Mikado” ; Drivers’ Club 4; Key Killers’ Klub 4.

She is fun-loving and always seems to be having a wonderful time. Her cheery “Hi, there!” is welcomed by everyone who- knows her. She’s heading south for college. Goo d luck, Millie ! JEANNE HENRY “Hank” Roosevelt School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Euclidean Society 2; Po,etry Club 3, 4, Secretary 4; Speak- ers’ Bureau 4; Key Killers’ Klub. How could we keep from noticing that jovial and straight- forward girl we all know as Jeanne. “Hank”, as she is probably known by some people, is a most versatile girl. Swimming ranks foremost in her varied activities, with rid- ing a close second. We hope she will be able to indulge her pet hobbies and talents of drawing and advertising while at B. U. or Simmons. 48 JAMES HILL “Jim” “Jimmy” Jimmy came from White Plains High and entered as a senior at M. H. S. As a result of his cheery disposition and contagious grin, he has claimed a great many friends. Jim has become very fond of M. H. S. Whatever his Alma Mater may be, we feel sure that an aeronautical school will have the benefit of his talents. VIRGINIA J. HILL “Gin” “Ginger” Freshman Girls’ Chib, Girls’ Club 3, 4; Euclidean 2, 3, Sec. 4; Junior Red Cross 1 ; Bowling 2, 3; Lens and Shutter 2.

Next year she will attend Chandler School, and look forward to a business career. WILLIAM A. HILLES “Bill” “Skid” Roosevelt School.

He has made scores of friends, espec- ially with the fair sex, because of his dancing ability and swell personality. 49 FREDERICK L. HOFFMAN “Freddie” “Butch” “Fred” Roosevelt School.

Freshmen Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Lens and Shutter 2; G. L. A.; Bowling Club 2; Tennis Squad 2, 3, 4. Here comes that very dark red head who is bound to suc- ceed. Peggy indulges in many sports, her favorites being swimming, tennis, and figure skating. It is a question in the people’s minds which she will be, a Sonja Henie on skates or an Alice Marble in tennis. Peggy’s ambition is to be a private secretary. Congratulations, Katherine Gibbs, Peggy has chosen you. HERBERT HOLDEN Jr. “Herb” Lincoln School. Cloak and Plume 1; Imprint 3, 4; Cross Country 4 ; Track 4. “Herb”, the boy artist, has sketched his way into the hearts of his classmates via the fourth page of the “Im- print”. Aside from his sketching, “Herb’s” secret passion is pounding the old leather heads. He. can usually be heard about the time of any of the best music program, trying to impress on his neighbors the way the drums should be played. Keep up the hobbies, “Herb” ; we’ll probably see you on the music page or the cartoon page someday. So, fellow students, let’s keep our eyes alert for the familiar monogram “Herb”. CARL E. HOLMAN Jr. “Hattie” “Finn” Roosez ' elt School. Football 1, 3; Radio Club 2, 3; Model Airplane 1, 2, 3; Outing Club 2, 3; Driving Club 2, 3; Op- eretta 3 ; Key Killers’ Klub 4. Carl, better known as Hattie, is a sleepy-eyed, belated boy, who has, much to the grief of his studies, danced his way into the hearts of many of the High School girls. He is at the present employed in a local fruit store, but he plans to attend the Nautical Training Ship, Nantucket. We hope that his career on the sea will not be stormy. 5 ° JOHN M. HOLMES “Johnny” “Wolf” Tilton Prep. Track 3, 4; Cross Country 4; TIT Y 3, 4; Outing Club 4. Johnny came to our esteemed institution of knowledge as a Junior. He is a good skier who combined his skiing en- thusiasm with his cross country ability to win the cross country ski race at Mount Hood. He is also a very good blusher, as those in the IVD History and English classes know. He plans to take a course in electrical engineering at the General Electric School. MARY ELIZABETH HOPKINS “Hoppie” Calvin Coolidge School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Outing Club 3, 4; Bowling Club 3; Drivers’ Club 4; Although “Hoppie” is a quiet and unassuming young lady, she is as charming as her smile.

Clo ak and Plume 1 ; Imprint 3, 4; Editor in Chief 4; Speakers’ Bureau 4; Log Staff 4. Dan, the Editor of the Imprint, is known by everyone. He may assume an air of quiet responsibility in the activi- ties he espouses, but when he feels .something deeply or wishes to present his own view, he does so, and fireworks are sure to foll ow. As he can really sling the King’s Eng- lish, he wants to be a lawyer. CLYDE K. HORTON Jr. “Bud” “C. K.” Kingston Grammar School, N. IT. Model Airplane Club 1 ; Basketball 1 ; Outing Club 2, 3 ; Drivers’ Club 2, 3 ; Hockey 2, 3; Operetta 3; Football 1, 2, 3. Bud’s hobby is being everybody’s buddy. C. K. never had trouble in gaining the favor of the fair sex. Although Bud s interests are mainly in sports and milder pastimes, in the more serious business of school, he managed to keep out of the re(D). Bud is heading for the schoolship, Nantuc- ket, and we are sure he will turn out to be a True New Eng- land salt”. Care in the ports, Bud! 5 PHILIP SMITH HORTON “Phil” Phil came to us from Dracut Hig h School in his junior year. Since then, he has made scores of friends, especially with the fair sex. Phil is very proficient in gymnastics and holds several of our school records. He plans to enter the Massachusetts Nautical School and then enroll in the Mer- chant Marine Service. IRENE C. HOWARD Roosevelt School. Girls’ Club 3, 4; Freshman Girls’ Club; G. L. A. Although she is sometimes regarded as being rather quiet, her many friends will heartily assure you that Irene is a grand, fun-loving person. Of course, we all think of Irene as one of that group of Sonja Henies that grace Ell Pond with their appearance every winter ; and, in spite of her love or skating, we all hope she will not take off with “Wings” before Katherine Gibbs has had an opportunity to claim her. FRANK HENRY HOWE “Henry” “Abe” “Herb” Calvin Coolidge School. Frank entered Melrose High in 1936. He has done well in his studies, and made many friends.

Elinor does not let her school work interfere with her good times outside. Her favorite sports are skating and swimming. Although she has no definite hobby, she enjoys horseback-riding, ping-pong, canoeing, tennis, bicycling, and skiing. She expects to take up secretarial work. 52 FRANK HANDS “Pick” “Hyndsie” Coolidge School, Football i, 2, 3; Baseball 1, 2, 3; Hockey 1, 2, 3; Drivers’ Club. Frank’s unending personality has made him one of our most popular boys. He is a great athlete and will, no doubt, continue on further in college. Frank’s hobbies are sports and dancing ; however, he has mastered sports the best. Frank has not decided finally on what he will do after he leaves college, but our guess is coaching. We all wish him the best of luck. BARBARA E. JACK “Barb” Roosevelt School. Freshman Girls’ Club ; Minstrel Show. Barbara’s distinct sense of humor and ever-read} - wit have made many a rainy day brighter. Her pranks have often given her little difficulties, but her personality enables her to come out on top always.

Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Baseball 1, 2, 3, 4; Basketball 2, 3; Drivers’ Club; Junior Prom Committee. Ace has been one of the most well known and well-liked boys in his class.

PRISCILLA LOUISE JELTS “Jeff” Roosevelt School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Lens and Shut- ter 1 ; Bowling 2; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Arts and Crafts Club 4; Key Killers’ Klitb 4. Priscilla to some of us, “Jeff” to most of 11s, and “Slats” to a privileged few, this winsome lass has become known for her graciousness and sincerity. “Jeff” spends most of her lime drawing. Hers is the Clark head we so often see bend- ing intently over some new creation. Who knows, perhaps someday we may say, “I knew her when — !” 53 ELIZABETH MAE JOHNSON “Libby” “Liz” “Johnnie” Roosevelt School. Minstrel Shozv; Red Cross 3. If in the “What’s What” of 1940 there had been a class sneezer, Libby would have been chosen. To the pupils and teachers in all her classes it has been a constant source of amusement. Known not only for this, she is the possessor ■of a grand disposition. After graduation Libby is going to California for an extensive visit. MURIEL S. JOHNSON “Peanut” Roosevelt School.

P is personality, sparkling and bright E is for energy to see things go right A is for activity in_all that we do N is for nonsensical, which of Peanut is true U is for umph, Peanut has it to- spare T is for temper that goes with her hair. That’s our Peanut ! ROBERT E. JOHNSON “Bob” “Monk” Last summer Bob realized his mistake in living in Everett, so he decided to come to Melrose. In this short time, he’s become known as one of the best natured fellows in school. His favorite pastime is dancing to hot numbers, and ath- letics also play a big part in his life. Good luck to you Bob. LEICESTER S. JOHNSTON Jr. “Les” Calvin Coolidge School. Football 1, 2, 3, 4; Tennis 4; Imprint 4; Speakers’ Bureau 4 ; Masque and Wig Play 4; Key Killers’ Klub 4. Quiet, peaceful; no, that is not “Les”. Instead, he owns a voice that carries all over the school, loves to argue, is full of fun, is an honor student, and has held down the quarter- back position on the football team for the last two years. Exeter will have “Les’s” abilities next year, after that, “destination unknown”. 54 DONALD W. JOY “Don” Rifle Club. Don has shot his way into the hearts of many a girl by his excellent shooting in his beloved Rifle Club. Besides this interest he intends to enter the aviation field, and will per- haps pilot us across the continent some day.

We all wish him loads of luck, and we are sure he will fulfill his ambition which is to become an engineer. MARION B. KENNISTON “Kenny” Roosevelt School. Band 1, 2, 3; Orchestra 1, 2, 3, 4; Bowl- ing League 2; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Field Hockey 4. The infectious laughter and cheery smile of petite, golden- haired “Kenny” will be missed by many when she leaves our Alma-Mater. However, some otherwise dreary office will be brighter because of her presence. She is going to Katherine Gibbs to learn how to be the perfect secretary. While at high school, Marion has been particularly active in the band and orchestra and has also participated in sports. 55 RUTH J. KILEY “Ruthie” Calvin Coolidge School. Freshman Minstrel Show; Field Hockey 2, 3, 4, Captain 4; Basketball 2. 3, 4; Baseball 2, 3, 4; Bowling Club 1, 4; G. L. A. Treasurer 2; Class Treas- urer 4; Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4. Personality plus — that’s Ruthie. 1 his is one little girl who is never caught without a smile. She has won many friends through her wit and good sportsmanship. That she is a leader in sports, is .shown by the fact that she is one of our few three letter Seniors. If an efficient secretary is needed, call on Ruthie, as she intends to continue her stud- ies in Commercial School next year. WARREN HERBERT KING “Kingy” Roosevelt School. Rifle Club 1. In his freshman year W arren was on the Rifle blub. He is a good natured fellow and has many friends. He is by no means a bookworm but ranks with the average student.

JEANNE ARLENE KNICKERBOCKER “Jak” “Nicky” “Patches” Panama. Latin 4; Spanish Club 4 ; Glee Club 4. In September 1939, Melrose High welcomed Jeanne, a most friendly girl, from Balbo High School, Panama. Those of us who have become acquainted with her can hardly ex- press enough wishes for her success in entering Middlebury College, Vermont, as a major in Spanish. We hope her smile will never fade and that she may always win friends as she has this year. 56 JOSEPH J. KRIPP “Joe” Roosevelt School. Baseball i ; B owling 3; Outing Club 3; Gymnastics 4; Log Staff 4. “Just a kid named Joe makes this world a better place I know”, is as good an evaluation of Joseph Kripp as one can give. Since he entered Melrose High four years ago, he has been a stand-out in athletics ; but it is chiefly for his sheer good-nature that he is popular. Joe’s ambitions in life turn toward business and his record as a bookkeeper in this school have given him a fine start. EDWARD LACEY “Bud” Roosevelt School. Football 1 ; Basketball 1 ; Operetta 2, 3; Hi-Y 2, 3, Secretary 4; Speakers’ Bureau 4.

As well as being good-natured, he has made an enviable re- cord of achievement dur.ng these four short years at M. H. S . His further scholastic training will be at Worcester Polytechnic Institute in the field of chemistry. May success crown your every effort, Bud ! ■ BF JHB 4 STANLEY A.

LENT “Kay” Lincoln School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Minstrel Show; Operetta 3; Crafts Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4. Good things come in small packages, as we found out when Kay entered Melrose High. Five feet one with pep enough for people twice her size, that’s Kay. This little miss plans to be a nurse, and will go in training in the fall. That she will succeed is taken for “Grant”ed.

Yes, for four years Anne, with her winning smile and pleasing personality, has gained the friendship of all who know her. She is popular both in and outside of school, and we know she will be among those in the Junior College she chooses to enter in the fall. 58 RUTH LOFBERG “Ruthie” Roosevelt School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4. Ruthie is one of the best dressed girls in High School ow- ing to her own cleverness with the needle. But her inter- ests are not wholly in self-adornment because she always makes the honor roll. She made quite a name for herself in figure skating this winter. Ruthie, however, plans to “’tend strictly to business’’ after graduation, for she will enter Katherine Gibbs School in the fall. THOMAS EMMETT LONG “Shorty” “Boldy” “Tom” St. Mary’s School. Freshman Minstrel Show; Baseball 1, 2, 3; Swimming Team 1, 2. When Tom entered the high school he was a quiet and shy boy.

Tom plans to enter a business school, and with him goes the ad- miration and respect of all his fellow students. LYDIA K. LONGSHORE “Lyd” Roosevelt School. Swimming 1, 2; Riding 2. Now we know why gentlemen prefer blondes, for in Lyd we find a striking example. One reason she is so well liked is her infectious laughter. Lyd is an excellent swimmer and a lover of outdoor sports. She is an enthusiastic skier, but then in whatever Lyd participates, we are sure to find her abounding with enthusiasm. VIRGINIA LORD “Ginny” Saint Mary’s School. Freshman Girls’ Club; Girls’ Club 3, 4; Cloak and Plume; Red Cross 2; Key Killers’ Klub. Brown curly hair, brown eyes, and a quick flashing smile is what comes to our minds when we think of Virginia Lord.

Her favorite sport is tennis, and it takes one of the best to out-play her. 59 CONSTANCE B. LOVEJOY “Connie “Linen” Calvin Coolidgc School. Freshman Girls’ Club! Girls’ Club 3, 4; Key Killers’ Klub 4; Masque and Wig 2; Imprint 3.

LYNCH “Lutius” “Iggie” St. Mary’s Malden Catholic On September last, George entered our school coming from Malden Catholic. He is quite bashful; however, to George this bashfulness is not a handicap in winning friends. He is an ardent sw ' ng fan, and he can tell you much about the orchestras and popular records. One of George’s out- standing characteristics is his sense of humor. 60 DOROTHY MARY MacARTHUR “Dot” “Dottie” Lincoln School. Minstrel Show i ; Freshman Girls’ Club; Cloak and Plume; Masque and Wig 2, 3, 4; Poetry Club 2; Outing Club 3, 4; Girls’ Chib 3, 4. Crash ! Boom ! Bang !

This is our Maurine whose sunny smile and mischievous eyes have gained her many friends. Tennis and dancing hold a great interest for her. but “Football Games” take the prize. Maurine’s ability in dramatics has been shown us in the Masque and W ig plays, and we wish her luck with her talent. JOHN R. MacKAY “Jack” “Mac” Calvin Coolidge. A carefree, good natured attitude plus plenty of personal- ity. lias made “Jack popular among his fellow students and teachers. “Jack has not participated actively in school sports, although he is really a faithful follower of scholastic and professional sports. We sometimes wonder what he has given up for “Lent”. ARTHUR I. MacLEAN “Art” “Mac” Cabin Coolidge School. Football 1, 2, 3. In 1936 there came to Melrose High one freshman who was not shy or bashful. That boy was “Art” MacLean who is interested in everything, such as sports, girls, and studies. His school work here has given him a record to be proud of. His chief interests are law and girls, and he hopes to follow both in the future. LEONA MacLEAN “Lee” Cabin Coolidge School. Girls’ Club 3. 4.

Girls’ Club 3, 4; Operetta 3; Glee Club 4; Drivers’ Club 4; Lens and Shutter 3; Red Cross 4. In her junior year Gini transferred from Medford to Mel- rose High. Her marked individualism and carefree man- ner immediately won her many friends. Gini does not par- ticipate in sports, but dancing and swimming take a great deal of her time. Although she has no definite plans for furthering her education, I am sure Gini’s magnetic person- ality will keep her on the road to success. BERNADETTE MAHONEY “Bernie” St. Mary’s School.

I ? 0 THE FRESHMAN GIRLS’ CLUB President — Janet Holt Vice President — Barbara Learmonth Secretary — Norma Jack man Treasurer — Barbara Hurkett Sponsor — Miss Sachs The Freshman Girls’ Club is organized to give the new comers to Melrose High School an opportunity to become better acquainted and to enjoy pleasant times together twice each month. During the fall and early winter we meet to play games, hear guest speakers, and to get to know one another a little better. In January, officrs are elected and club meetings are more formal. A pro- gram committee is chosen and great plans are made for our Raggedy Andy party and later the spring dance. The party is eagerly awaited. It takes place in the gym. Everyone wears old clothes and after ten minutes of scrambling any feeling of strangeness is gone forever. The spring dance is one of our big events. We expect to conduct it with slightly more dignity and grace than we did our party but we hope to have just as much fun. We do believe that this spirit of good-fellowship will stay with us throughout our years at Melrose High School. 132 GIRLS’ CLUB President — Virginia Tibbetts Vice President — Marilyn Leying Secretary — Muriel Johnson Treasurer — Adelaide DePietro Corresponding Secretary — Mary McCann Sponsor — Mr. McPheters Under the able direction of Virginia Tibbetts, our president, Girls’ C lub en- joyed a happy and prosperous year. We started the year oft with a Topsy-Turvy party. Among the highlights of the programs were: 1939 Washington Party movies. Professor Quiz program of pupils versus teachers (incidentally the pupils were the victors), an Alumni Night, at which we entertained many former Girls’ Club members, Freshman and Sophomore nights. Dad’s night, Mother’s night at which we also enjoyed a delicious supper, our annual Spring Style Show, several excellent speakers, and also joint meetings with Hi-Y. On of the outstanding features of the year were the movies of the club which Mac took to be shown at the P T. A. meeting and also to be preserved as a memory of Girls’ Club 1939- 1940. i4 HI-Y CLUB President — Whitcomb Wells Vice President — Lawrence Zurbach Secretary — Edward Lacey Treasurer — Richard Else Corresponding Secretary — Bill Baier This year the Hi-Y Club was a very active one, having participated whole- heartedly in every program. The club gave aid to the Parent Teachers’ Associa- tion, Red Cross, and some to the Y. M. C. A. drive. There were many interest- ing programs among which were the American League Baseball movie, Touching All Bases ; Eastern Mass. St. Railway movie ; Paul Guibord, a former Melrose High student who spoke on sports ; and our own Philip Tauber who spoke about the difference in school systems in Austria and America. The graduating mem- bers have a good record behind them which they hope next year’s club will be able to equal and better. 135 mmm Ofc Mlj mvM PPfe3W||| rn ilcicliiiiit nos r is! - : 136 “THE MIKADO” OR “THE TOWN OF TITUPU” . . .

This band, of which we are justly proud, offers us a splendid concert during the year ; often heralds the students’ entrance to assemblies ; gives courage to its football team on the field of play, and sup- plies fitting music for our various special assemblies. In addition to these stu- dent activities the high lights of the band ' s achievement is displayed at their an- nual concert which has become a favorite evening of the townspeople. With the proceeds of this concert more instruments are procured and others kept in re- pair. It is not only in music that the band excels but in its spirit. Known as a unit their discipline has become exemplary and carries its results to the daily life of the individual members; and wherever they appear their conduct reflects credit on themselves, their leader, and their institution. Surely such training must be an inspiration to students who are privileged to take this course, and we know the many seniors, who are leaving after being four years in this band, will look back with fond memories of hard work well rewarded. MAA 142 MELROSE HIGH SCHOOL ORCHESTRA Frances D. Mont, Conductor Under the able leadership of Miss Frances D. Mont the Orchestra has be- come one of the outstanding organizations of Melrose High School, and one of which all residents of Melrose may be justly proud. No public dramatic or mu- sical performance of the school could be a complete success without the assist- ance of this accomplished group. While it is customary to appraise the work of this type of organization as a unit, it must not be overlooked that the unit is composed of individuals, the sum total of whose efforts is the measure of the accomplishment of the whole. 1 he great educational values of such an organization lie nqt alone in the excellent musical training received, but also in the high standard of discipline maintained, and in the spirit of cooperation and sense of responsibility to the group which are acquired by the pupils who participate. These factors, so essential to the devel- opment of worth while citizens, will be invaluable assets, not only to the individ- ual pupils, but to the communities in which they make their homes. Melrose High School may well be proud of such an organization. The Or- chestra and Miss Mont have the best wishes of both the school and the commun- ity for continued success in their work. 143 CLOAK AND PLUME President — Fred Blue Vice President — Fred Lacey Secretary — Janis Wolff T reasurer — Marianne Rand A few short plays have been read and given by the Cloak and Plume mem- bers this year and some time has been given to the discussion of ways to improve our acting. Our sponsors. Miss Wilder, and Miss Brown, who took Miss McNamara’ place when she left to help organize a Junior Speaker ' s Bureau, have been doing a hue piece of work in helping prepare future members for the Masque and ig. 144 CRAFTS CLUB President — Janet Sullivan Secretary-Treasurer — Barbara Sullivan In October 1939, a Crafts Club was organized under the direction -of Miss Dowling, our new art teacher. The Club meets on Friday of every week in room 314. It consists of the limited number of fifteen members. The girls of this club have the opportunity of making anything that appeals to them. Many useful as well as beautiful things, such as, bowls, bracelets, belts, pins, and poc- ketbooks have been made by this group. i45 THE EUCLIDEAN SOCIETY President — Priscilla Means Vice President — Marylen Leying Secretary — Virginia Hill Treasurer — Paul Hanglin The purpose of the Euclidean Society is to promote interest in the develop- ments of Science and Mathematics. As it is founded on scholarship, only pupils with an A or B average in these subjects are eligible for membership. This year we have enjoyed trips to Harvard College, The Ford Motor Plant, and the Christian Science Building. A “Probability Group” of members who are interested in playing bridge has also been formed. This group met in Stationary periods to discuss probable trends in the distribution of contract hands. Another new plan in our program for 1940 was to offer free vocational tests in any subject to all school members. We hope that, in this way, our society has contributed something of value to the school, as well as giving its members an interesting insight into the scientific world. 146 IMPRINT Duripg its third year of existence, the Imprint has improved immensely. Un- der the guidance of Miss Damon, Miss Cook, and Mr. Battles, as advisers, and Daniel Horgan, as editor-in-chief, a competent staff of seniors and an enthusias- tic group of juniors have worked diligently to make our paper stand out among other high school publications. Anne Chishlom, junior member, was elected to the executive board of the Eastern Scholastic Press Association at the annual meeting attended by many of the Imprint staff. This year the juniors have been in one group, but the seniors have been scat- tered around in different divisions. This has made “make-up” nights doubly busy. Indeed, strangers to the school, might question the frantic activity in room 401 on Monday nights. In addition to seventeen issues of the Im print, the staff has published two is- sues of School Life with Miss Crosby as adviser. This has been a valuable liter- ary supplement, making it possible for students to write longer articles than can go in the paper. 47 THE JUNIOR RED CROSS COUNCIL President — Eleanor Riley Vice President — Janet Stencer Secretary — Doris Hart T r easier er — Gladys Boutillette Faculty Sponsor — Miss Beck The council had a successful annual drive at the first of the year. At Thanksgiving, they made turkey favors and took them to the Rutland hos- pital. At Christmas time, they collected candy, cigars, magazines, etc., and packed them into boxes. They were delivered to the men in the Bedford Hospital. 1 hey also put up six dinners for needy families in town. A layette was made for the babies of Finland, with the aid of the Home Man- agement classes. A successful dance was put on in the high school gym. 148 JUNIOR SPEAKERS’ BUREAU President — Mark Shaw Vice President — Jacqueline Winship Secretary — Ruth Holt Faculty Sponsor — Miss McNamara This is the most recent organization formed in the Higli School. Its greatest hope is to be as successful as the Senior Speakers Bureau. At each meeting the members deliver school speeches, sometimes original and other times memorized from selected authors and orators. Constructive criticism offered by the members and sponsor point the way to more perfect pub- lic speaking. Of course it will take time to train the members of the Junior Speakers Bur- eau, but we feel that in the near future you will hear much from these infant prodigies of the senior organization. 149 LENS AND SHUTTER President — Charles Plantinga Secretary-Treasurer — Nancy Bolton The Lens and Shutter Club has enjoyed a fine year. The purpose of this club is to give the members a chance to learn the fundamentals of photography. These include the art of taking the picture, developing the film, printing and com- posing the print. Last year we succeeded in having six prints hung at the Northeastern Uni- versity High School Contest. Several of the members plan to submit prints in this contest again this year. 150 MASQUE AND WIG SOCIETY President — Jack Mask-ell Vice President — Ruth Walden Recording Secretary — Betsy Geddes Treasurer — Edward Eich Corresponding Secretary — Betty Carmody Sponsors — Miss Garden, Mr. Parmiter This has been a year of outstanding performances and memorable produc- tions for Masque and Wig. In the fall the names of 20 new members were added to the club. With this new group, the regular activities of the club were soon under way. At Christmas time the impressive play “Bethlehem” was presented to the whole school. This production marked a decided change from the former type of Yuletide play and was well received. The choice of The Bat by Mary Roberts Rinehart for the annual play was a lucky one. Fine acting and unusual sound effects made this production one which will long be remembered by all who were present. Lectures, demonstrations, skits, pantomimes, and one-act plays have formed a most aried program for club meetings. Experiments with radio plays over a loud speaker have proved interesting and successful. The combination of all these activities make up a club program of work as well as pleasure. •5i MODEL AIRPLANE CLUB President — Gilman Jackson Vice President — Philip Osberg Secretary-Treasurer — Robert Miller Sponsor — Mr. Clough The Model Airplane Club was organized by and for the boys of the school who are interested in aviation. As high school pupils ordinarily have insuffic- ient funds for real flying, they turn to models as an educational and enjoyable pastime. The purpose of the club is to give these boys an opportunity to discuss aviation and model aviation with others who are interested, and to fly their model planes. Two meetings are usually held each month; a flying meet and a business meeting. Flying of the models takes place in the former, and plans and discus- sions in the latter. Records of long flights are kept and sometimes prizes are awarded for exceptional models. We like to think of our club as a “primary training school” for those who some day intend to take a place in the field of aeronautics. 152 NUNTIUS NUNTIUS, the only literary production of the school in the foreign language field, is issued three times a year. It affords opportunity for the free expression of ideas in Latin and for a study of various phases of Roman life and influence. The paper, containing chiefly, articles of interest in or about Latin, is enlivened by games, puzzles, jokes, and sketches. The freshman and sophomore students of Latin provide all the material but the entire Latin department supports it by subscription. The exchange list of NUNTIUS carries it L all parts of the coun- try. The mechanics of editing are in charge of the commercial department. 5 ? THE OUTING CLUB President — William Robinson Vice Presidents — Betty Morse and Helen Richardson Secretary -Treasurer — Robert Auty Do you enjoy sports which are not supported by the high school athletic as- sociation? The outing club is compsed of students who like outdoor sports; for instance, skiing and hiking. The purpose of the Outing Club is to provide enjoyment for those who are unable to make the varsity teams. W e are proud to say that the Outing Club is the nucleus of the teams representing Melrose High School at the annual winter carnivals. Other favorite activities include bicycle trips, hikes, and roller skating. These varied activities enable a student, besides enjoying himself immensely, to become acquainted with sports which may be of use to him later as a pleasant pastime. i54 POETRY CLUB President — Marylen Leving Vice President — Martha Bean Secretary — Jean Henry Treasurer — Patricia Page The purpose of the Melrose High School Poetry Club, during 1940, has been to increase enjoyment of poetry by becoming better acquainted with poets and their work, and to give sympathetic encouragement to pupils who are interested in writing verse. The membership is small in comparison with that of other clubs. This is, however, an advantage because informality of discussion is encouraged at month- ly meetings, and we are able to take trips easily as a group. We have visited such literary shrines as Whittier’s Homestead in Haverhill, Sleepy Hollow Cemetery and the Old Manse at Concord, Massachusetts. In our meetings we have discussed the lives and work of several poets and have enjoyed guest speakers. Some members have written original verse. To be able to write poetry is, however, not a requisite for membership. We are indeed grateful to our club adviser, Miss Putnam, for her helpful- ness and success in promoting interest in the club’s activities. •55 SPEAKERS’ BUREAU President — Robert Brower Vice President — Eleanor Barber Secretary — Della McDonald Treasurer — William Hamlin Scribe — Roberta Whipple S argent-at-arms — Charles Wiswell Sponsors — Miss Bohrer, Mr. Carney, Mr. Neiman The aim of the Melrose High School Speakers’ Bureau is to further pupil participation in their own meetings, in assemblies, and in contests. It is very rare that an outside speaker comes to address a regular Speakers’ Bureau meeting. The meetings are planned and participated in by the pupils themselves. Although Speakers’ Bureau has existed for only three years, the school has already found it indispensable. For every assembly a member of Speakers’ Bur- eau is chosen to introduce the guest speaker. This year, in acknowledgment of book week, Speakers’ Bureau prepared an assembly consisting of nine book reviews. The books reviewed had been recent additions to our school library. 1 he big project of the year is the declamation contest, in which many mem- bers compete. I he contest is divided into three parts — original defamations, dra- matic, and humorous readings. Speakers Bureau is indebted to Miss Bohrer, Mr. Carney, and Mr. Neiman, under whose able direction the club feels that it has greatly improved in the art of public speaking. 156 157 158 ATUUtICS 1 4 J [3 W M. C 59 FOOTBALL Coach — Mr. Harold Poole Captain — Howard Virgin Manager — William Davison This year the football team, after a slow start, ended the season with five straight wins, four of them shutouts. It won the Mystic Valley League title with a perfect record. Malden managed to tie them, o to o, although Melrose outplayed Malden in every sense of the word, by gaining more ground, in mak- ing 9 first downs to 5, and completing more passes. The team was at its best in the Arlington game when it came from behind at the start of the second half and won 13-7. Again Melrose showed its superiority. The team was sparked on by its un-tiring captain, “Jupe” Virgin. He played at least half of every game but one, this due to an injury. He and Bill Parsons, both guards, stopped play after play, not allowing any gains. The backfield was very good also. Mickey Jacobs did the kicking and his educated toe certainly helped down the enemy. Phil Cargill, a very tricky and fast runner, and Les Johnston, a brilliant quarter-back, were important cogs on the Melrose Team. 160 CROSS-COUNTRY The Cross-Country team had a very successful season in dual competition, losing only their first meet with Beverly and winning all the rest. After winning the New England Championship for two straight years, our team bowed to Brockton in both the State and New England Meets. The team was led by Captain I.awrence “Zipper Zurbach who is one of the best Cross-Country runners in schoolboy ranks. The letter men this year are as follows: Warren Shaw, William Babcock, David Egan, Roy Cluff, Earle Ale w ton, Ralph Wells, Arthur Mills, Thomas Dockrell, and Forrest Symmes. lOI MELROSE HIGH HOCKEY TEAM Captain — Russell Priestly Manager — Robert Remillard Assistant Manager — Franklin Carney Coach — Harold W. Poole Phis team once again took ' hold of the second rung in the Greater Boston lea- gue, being two points behind Newton who won their first championship in many years. Melrose trounced Newton in the opener 8-2, but the following week lost to an inspired Belmont sextet 2-1. Melrose then went on a winning streak, hold- ing first place alone for three weeks and sharing first with Newton for two weeks. ilh only two games left to play, and the championship would be clinched if they were victories, the} ' lost to Arlington 4-0, and the following week tied Med- ford 3-3. Four seniors were named to the all scholastic” teams, Capt. Russ Priestly, Phan Call. Jack McNamara, and our goalie Paul Dearborn. In the all star game with Catholic High of Montreal, Russ Priestly ob- tained two goals and one assist in the 4-1 win over the Canadians. The G. B. I. all stars also defeated the Bay State s A summary of the season : Melrose 8 — Newton 2 Melrose t — Belmont 2 Melrose 3 — Arlington 1 Melrose 4 — Medford 2 Melrose 4 — Cambridge Latin 1 Won 7 ; Lt :ars, 4-1.

At least half of the games were lost by one, two, or three points. Natur- ally, as most teams do, we have had a few good shellackings, but, on the whole, the score was quite close. Everyone of the boys has done very well, but in par- ticular, this writer would like to pay his respects to the best basketball team com- bination he has seen during his four years at Melrose. 1 he boys that I mean are our co-captains, Richard “Trapper” Else, and Lawrence “Zipper” Zurbach. 163 BOYS’ BASEBALL Baseball this year has gained in popularity among the student body. We also had more candidates for the team than ever before. Having a sixteen game sched- ule, the few veterans combined with good rookie talent should make it a success- ful campaign for Melrose. The veterans are : Zurbach, Martin, Holt, Cargill, Else, Fawcett, Meuse, and Jacobs. The rookies include Thayer, Dockrell, Hatch, Spadafora, the MacNamara’s, Gardner, Martell, Brown, Childs, Lacey and others. Our field had been greatly improved over the condition of previous years. With a few breaks this should be a championship club. 164 B9M| TRACK Very little is ever known of the track team before our book goes to print. Last season several meets were lost by the failure of our relay team to come through in the final event of the meet. The Melrose boys finished third, however, in the Mystic Valley Champion- ships, tracking the winners by a scant six points. “Z p” Zurbach, Bill Hamlin, Bruce Parks, Dave Egan, Bill Parsons and Phil Cargill are looked to for the points this spring. Many young fellows are inter- ested and it seems reasonable that these boys may put the team over in the pinches that always arise in a track season. The Melrose record in the Mystic Valley Championship is very good. In [ 937 Melrose was second by six points; in 1938 Melrose lost by one point and in [ 939 we finished third, six points behind the winner. V e hope some day to get the strength to bring home the winner’s spoils. 165 GOLF TEAM Coach — Blair C. Wilson After winning the Middlesex Golf League Title for the third consecutive time and going to the quarter-finals in the state championship in 1939, Melrose High’s golf team looks forward to another successful season. Four letter-men are returning and with some promising under-classmen, they pledge themselves to go far in maintaining their fine record. The following boys who won their letter last year are back — Jack Blatchford, Frank Weissbecker, Howard Virgin and Dave Paul. These boys will form the nucleus of another strong golf team to represent Melrose High. 166 TENNIS TEAM Manager — Stephen Meagher Coach — Richard M. Udael By winning the Suburban League Championship for the second consecutive season, the tennis team of 1939 set a record which this year’s group hopes to dup- licate. With the addition of Malden and Waltham to the League, and a match having been arranged with Winchester, this season promises to be a busy one for the Melrose High School Tennis Team. Although Bob Monroe and Walt Niles, the first ranking players on last year’s team, were lost by graduation, the present squad appears quite able to up- hold the excellent reputation made by our Tennis Teams of the past. Dave Rodgers, winner of the city championship and of the school tournament is the outstanding member of this year’s squad. Other players who have seen action in outside matches are Stan Lawry, Jim Byrne and Whit Wells. With this group as a nucleus, Coach Udall is looking forward to a successful season. 167 RIFLE CLUB President — Ivan Burney Vice-President — Harvey Gardner Secretary — Richard Garrard Treasurer — Charles Preble Instructor — Mr. Mansur The Rifle Club has become a very active organization. The club participated in the first series of bi-weekly postal matches sponsored by the National Rifle Association. 1 hey have had a match with the M. I. T. freshmen ; two matches with Malden ; two matches with Haverhill ; two matches with Quincy ; two matches with North Quincy; and a postal match with Stony Brook School Lone- Island, New York. ’ The club shoots every W ednesdav and Saturday on the range at the Legion Bungalow. On Saturday mornings during the Spring and Fall, if the weather permits, the club shoots on the Fish and Game Club range at Mt. Hood. The Rifle C lub is very fortunate to have the use of. these two ranges, and would be seriously handicapped without them. Next year the team should progress rapidly as many of the better-shots are not graduating this year. 168 MELROSE HIGH SCHOOL SWIMMING TEAM Under the leadership and guidance of Mr. Udall the Swimming Team has made great strides this season. We succeeded in beating our rivals, the Huntington School in Boston, for the first time in four years, and five of our swimmers, Robert Colcord, Robert Whit- man, Jack Cain, Robert Millen, and Owen Bailey made sufficient progress to war- rant their participation in the Massachusetts-Rhode Island two-state junior com- petition meet in which we took fifth place. Other members who are making rapid progress are Paul Prince, Willard Luken, William Pidgeon, Robert Skinner, Richard Decatur, Donald Baker and Harry Towle. i6g GIRLS’ SWIMMING One of the most popular winter sports that Melrose High School offers to the girls is swimming. The swimming classes are divided into three groups, the beginners, the advanced group, and the life-saving classes. The main features of these groups are the inter-class meets and the giving of the Red Cross junior and senior life-saving tests. This year after our inter-class meet, a varsity team was chosen to compete with Brookline. Through the enthusiasm of Miss Kendall, this club has grown to be one of the most popular with the girls of the school. 170 FIELD HOCKEY An unusually large number of girls turned out for field hockey last fall. They practiced faithfully on several afternoons a week. Miss Sargent did an excellent piece of work n choosing a first and second team from this group. The first team won all but one game on their schedule. They lost by a i-o score to Winchester in their hardest game of the season. The second team deserves special credit for playing undefeated and unscored upon throughout the fall. Shirl Moore, Tibby 1 ibbetts, Ruthie Kiley, Eleanor Haley, and goalie Kay Powers were outstanding seniors on the first team. Pete DePietro was high scorer on the second. Betsy Geddes did a fine job as manager for these squads 171 GIRLS’ BASKETBALL TEAM Coach — Miss Sargent Captain — Adalaide De Peitro Manager — Eleanor Riley The advantage of having intra-mural and inter-class games during the S per- iod has proved a great stepping stone for a good varsity squad Out of 240 who played intra-mural basketball, a squad of 30 Sophomores, Juniors, and Seniors was picked for the invincible varsity group of the 1940 season. This year’s first and second squads are the first girls basketball team to be undefeated and untied for the whole season.

The four classes entered the tournament and the winners make up the varsity team in the spring. The girls ' varsity team in the spring will be as follows : No. i Maurine MacHugh 2 Carolyn Lentilhon 3 Frances Nicholls 4 Betty Rodgers 5 Betty Surbeck 6 Peggy Hoffman 9 Lesley Lake 7 8 Nancy Joanne Jones These gills will play matches in the spring with other schools. •73 INTRA-MURAL SPORTS Class Representatives . Seniors — Shirley Moore Juniors — Ann Sheridan Sophomores — Barbara Dixon Freshmen — Janet Holt “A sport for every girl and every girl in a sport.” 1 he Girls’ Athletic League sponsors a wide variety of sports each season, that every girl may find some sport which will interest her. A point system under the guidance of the class representatives makes it possible for a girl to earn her class numerals or school letters by constant participation in sports. As three- fourths of the girls in school take part in these various sports, we feel that the intra-mural program is a very important part of our physical education depart- ment. The following sports are sponsored : Fall Season Hockey Tennis Riding Archery Winter Season Basket Ball Ping Pong Bowling Gymnastics Volley Ball Badminton Swimming Track Spring Season Tennis Baseball Archery Riding ' 74 GIRLS’ BASEBALL In spring a young girl’s fancy turns to baseball. In Melrose High the girls are very faithful in turning out for practice, as we play only two or three games during the year. We play by the rules of regular baseball, but the ball used is lighter than the regulation weight. The team was undefeated last year, and some of the promising players this spring are Ruth York, Elaine Crawford, Ruth Ri- ley, Adelaide De Pietro, Marjorie Maclachlan, and Kathleen Wiswell. Although baseball is primarily a boy’s game, it is rapidly increasing in popularity with girls. i75 ' t w lv : ' ’ . !♦ V • ■ ' J. ( OL£V, f. nuRTHft, CDSACKD D-5M1TH R. LecoONT CPmC0 . ROOOO Z02.

After a period of four long years, we are gath- ered together for the last time to enjoy with our fellow class-mates, fun and merry making. This is the day on which we take the highlights of our prosperous four years and proceed to make our- selves laugh at our own mistakes and foolishness. So therefore, welcomed guests, relax . . . and laugh with us and at us as we review the “High- lights of Bygone Attractions” and the “Pre- views of Coming Attractions” of the Class of 1940.

HISTORY OF CLASS OF 1940 — § Edward Lacey Ladies and Gentlemen : You are about to hear the history of one of the most colorful classes that has ever entered Melrose High School. This class, the class of 1940, has shown as much endeavor both toward work and extra-curricular activities as any class in proportion around this section. You will be amazed to hear of the accomplish- ments of our class and its activities. As I was glancing through the bookshelves of the Melrose Public Library, I happened to come upon this copy of the history of the class of 1940 of Melrose High School. 1 realized that there was to be a meeting here today for this class, and 1 brought this volume to read a few excerpts to you from its full pages. In the year 1936, a very healthy-looking group of young people stepped through the gate of Melrose High School. These young people were awe-stricken as the) looked at the recently new building which was to be theirs for the next four years. From the hirst day this class entered this school, 1 could tell that they were the people to watch for the coming events. The class as a group presented the Land O’ Cotton Minstrels for a school assembly. Outstanding in this presentation were Hazel Wheeler and Parker Shute as soloists and Perley Wadland, Robert Brower. Edward Norton, St ephen Meagher, and William McEnroe as end-men. The freshman football team will never be forgotten, because it started such athletes as Denny Fernald, Leicester Johnston, Russell Priestley, Phil Cargill and Howard Virgin on the road to success as stalwarts of the gridiron. Although they won no games, the freshman basketball team won prestige as good sports and promising players. From that team have grown sucb stars as Zip Zurbach, Richard Else, Bill Hindon, Frank Weissbecker and Hacker Paul. Many of our illustrious freshmen took advantage of the various clubs which offered them membership From the many activities in which this class participated during this first year, I can tell that, in years to come, the class of 1940 will be outstanding in extra-cur- ricula activity as well as in scholastic honors. The girls’ athletic teams will bear watching for I can see the makings of several good athletes among the girls’ classes. The opening of school in 1937-1938 brought the class of 1940 good luck. One of the first moves made by the class as a whole was the election of class officers. Those members who were honored by becoming officers were: Wallace Manson, president; Virginia Tibbetts, vice-president; Natalie Weeks, secretary; and Rich- ard Else, treasurer. Class dues were collected, and the Sophomore class became wealthy. The girls’ field hockey team developed Shirley Moore, Virginia Tib- betts, and Ruth Kiley as future threats as their team went through the season un- defeated. The football team had a banner year having lost no games. Les Johnston, Phil Cargill, and Howard Virgin helped push this team to a close decis- ion for the State championship. We lost the decision, however, by a small mar- gin. The cross-country team started the year right also by winning the New Eng- land and Rig Six titles. V ell may we remember the boys’ varsity basketball team with such stars as Lawrence Zurbach, Richard Else, Frank Weissbecker, and Rill Hindon among the agile athletes. The sophomore girls looked well as a basketball team with such potential players as Ruth Kiley, Natalie Weeks, S ' hir- ley Moore, Virginia Tibbetts, and Valerie Smith. Tn the spring, Whit Wells showed that he could be of good use to the tennis team, and Dave Paul demon- strated his ability by maintaining a position on the golf team. Maureen McHugh made her debut in the Masque and Wig play, I’ll Leave It To You. At the end of the year, it could be plainly seen that the class of 1940 would be the outstand- ing class of the future. In the year 1938-1939, the class again elected officers. They were Rill Raier. president; Lawrence Zurbach, vice-president; Natalie Weeks, secretary; and Richard Else, treasurer. The football team had a very successful season as did the girls’ field hockey team. The latter was led by Shirley Moore, Ahrginia Tib- betts, Ruth Kiley, and Adelaide DcPietro. The cross-country team proved to be exceedingly strong, led bv several junior runners. The ice hockey team brought out such players as Paul Dearborn, John McNamara, Daniel Calt, Russell Priest- ley, and Frank Hynds. For an operetta, The Pirates of Penzance was presented. In the performance Harrison Parker, Paul Dearborn, Reverly Bacall, and Dor- othy Pierce portrayed their parts excellently. The basketball team made a good showing, and many juniors were seen in action through the season. In the ju- nior year, it is customary that the juniors present the Junior Prom for the Seniors. The class elected Asa Jacobs, Shirley Moore, Wallace Manson, Priscilla Jefts, and Virginia Tibbetts as members of the prom committee. The dance was very successful and the committee was well-chosen. The Masque and Wig annual play was the performance of Death Takes a Holiday. Eileen Driscoll, Jack Mas- ked, and Maureen McHugh took major parts, and made honors for themselves. Never to be forgootten was the Washington trip. Several Juniors made the jour- ney to the nation’s Capitol and returned with a clearer vision of our nation’s gov- ernment. The year ended leaving but one year remaining in the high school career of this class, and many more activities to be accomplished. The year 1939-1940 opened with a bang as the football team won the Mystic Valley Championship and overthrew our old rival, Arlington, in an exciting game. With the aid of Harry Aaron, Frank Peters, Rill Parsons, Les Johnston, Phil Cargill, Denny Fernald, and other lads, our team came within four one-hun- dredths of a point of winning the class R championship. Led by Capt. Ruth Ki- ley, the field hockey team made a name for itself by losing only one game through the season. Among our star players we find Shirley Moore, Virginia Tibbetts, and Adelaide DePietro. Warren Shaw, John Holmes, Roy Cluff, and Lawrence Zurbach are a few of the lads who paced the cross-country team to many flash- ing victories. The class officers were: Bill Baier, president; Lawrence Zurbach, vice-president; Natalie Weeks, secretary; and Ruth Kiley, treasurer. The ice hockey team had a very successful season but lost the championship to Newton by a small margin. Melrose High is proud of its senior class this vear, because two of its members have won distinct honors. Frank Peters received his appointment to Annapolis, and John Brady will enter West Point in the fall. We all know that these two members will do honor to Melrose High. Those seniors seem to be controlling the clubs, for we find Bob Brower at the head of the Speakers’ Bureau, Della MacDonald and Eleanor Barber are capable officers also in this 182 organization. Some of the other Seniors holding offices are : Whit Wells, Zip Zurbach, Richard Else, and Bill Raier of Hi-Y ; Virginia Tibbetts, Marylen Le- ving, Muriel Johnson, and Mary McCann of Girls’ Club; and Betty Carmody and Betsy Geddes of the Masque and W ig. The Girls’ Varsity Basketball team had a very successful season led by such outstanding players as Shirley Moore, Vir- ginia 1 ibbetts, Natalie Weeks, Ruth Kiley, and Adelaide DiPietro. As the base- ball season progresses, we find Joseph Martin, Lawrence Zurbach, Richard Else John McNamara, and Phil Cargill dominating as the potential stars. The boys on the track team seem to be in excellent condition with such competitors as Frank Peters, Dave Egan, Denny Fernald, Martin Forrest, and Bruce Park. The Stu- dent Activity Ticket idea was inaugurated this year, and many seniors took ad- vantage of the bargain to see Melrose High in action. The Masque and Wig play, “The Bat”, was successfully presented this year with many seniors taking prin- cipal roles: Les Johnston, Maureen McHugh, Eileen Driscoll, and Ted Boecker. The “Mikado” was presented by the music clubs of the school and brought forth William McEnroe, Eleanor Barber, and Mildred Henke as excellent class actors and actresses. As the year draws to a close, it is hard to realize that even if we decided to have a class reunion a month after graduation, it would be almost im- possible to gather the good old class of 1940 together again. It has been a good four years for all members. Here endeth the history of the class of 1940. I could go on to say that the members of this class will bear watching in the future business of our country. From the facts just given to you from this his- tory, you can readily see that the class of 1940 is the most ambitious and illus- trious class in the history of the school. Yes, the year 1940 marks a very impor- tant event. No, it is not the War; it is the graduation of the senior class from Melrose High School. 183 STATISTICS OF THE CLASS OF 1940 — § Leicester S. Johnston, Jr. It has been my humble honor to compile the statistics of our admirable and il- lustrious class. I have toiled and labored most diligently, in , well I have the facts at any rate. First of all, let us examine our “Mr. Average Student”. The top of his head is five feet six and one-half inches above the soles of his shoes, which measure size seven and one-half. Distributed over this five and one-half feet are one hundred and thirty-two pounds. His age totals only seventeen years and three months. He is a very athletic fellow, loving all the sports, but his best-liked seems to be swimming. He doesn’t particularly enjoy the academic side of his school career, for he would much rather be participating in his favorite recreation, dancing with a blonde, his favorite hair-color. However, the subject that is least harrowing to his overworked constitution is Biology. His favorite color is blue, and his favorite flower is the rose. By the way, there is no connection between his favorite color and his favorite flower, for it would take our class genius to make a blue rose. I regret to say that “Mr. Average Student” has several bad habits. He is a heavy drinker and he chews, his favorite drink being Coca-Cola, and his favorite plug, Beech-Nut chewing gum. Having examined “Mr. Average Student” quite thor- oughly, let us now look at our list of celebrities. I will introduce you to each of them, and I hope that some of them will con- sent to demonstrate their abilities. The most popular boy of the class is, quite naturally, also the class president. He is that amiable Clarence William — - Bill to you - — Baier. The most popular girl is that tiny bundle of pep and vitality. Ruth Kiley. Ruthic is class treasurer; and, in addition, in spite of her size, is the best girl athlete. Oh yes, I almost for- got the most important of all — Ruthie is the best-natured girl of the class. While we are on the subject of pleasing personality, let us not overlook an- other who is short in stature but who stands high in the estimation of his class- mates. I am referring to our best-natured boy, Fred Mathison. Still another fellow who, although he is small physically, has attained a big reputation for himself with his colleagues is Lawrence “Zip” Zurbach who is our most athletic boy. “Zip” has been on the Cross Country, Basketball, Track, Base- ball, and Tennis Teams, winning letters in each. He also captained the Cross Country Team and co-captained the Basketball Team. By the way, I might men- tion that “Zip”, strangely enough, didn’t get a single vote for class saint. I won- der why. Of course, you all have noticed by this time that the class is overflowing with handsome fellows and beautiful girls. For this reason it was difficult to choose 184 the best-looking representatives. In fact, it was impossible for the class to choose between two of our fellows. We will, therefore, leave it up to you to make your own decision. These two ultra-handsome males ar e Dave Paul and Steve Meagher. It was a different story in the problem of choosing the best-looking girl, for we all know that our most lovely girl is Betty Carmody. I must not forget that Betty is also our most fastidious. Come on and show the folks, Betty. As is always the case in any group of young people, we have those among us who seem to have some sort of magnetic field about them that draws members of the opposite sex to them in droves. The fellow who seems to be imbued with this characteristic in our numbers is the class ladies’ man, Paul Dearborn. And the young lady of our class who just can’t help making eyes at her male col- leagues is the flirtatious Virginia Maher. On the other hand, we have those who are not quite so bold and coquettish. The most bashful boy, who also quite appropriately holds the distinction of being the class blusher, is that quiet John McNamara. The most bashful girl is a shy little lady by the name of Frances Smith. Don’t faint, Frannie, nobody will bite you. There are also a couple of students in our class who profess to have absolutely no use for the opposite sex. They are our class man and woman hater respective- ly, Anna White and Windsor Naugler. Of course, 1 wouldn’t repeat gossip, but I heard that both Anna and Windsor won’t have anything to do with Melrose stu- dents because they are in love with Don Ameche and Hedy Lamarr respectively. Shame on you. On considering the lighter side of our class, our attention is first focused on that Ichabod Crane of Melrose High School, that teller of far-fetched stories, that haunter of teachers’ sleep, that past master of slapstick, that collector of blue slips, that — Edward Norton. Eddie holds three enviable positions on our class celebrity list. They are class wit, class exaggerator, and least successful bluffer. By the way, the most successful bluffer is Edward Worton. 1 can’t understand why Ed got this office when everyone knows that I’m bluffing my way through this speech. The young lady who gets the greatest kick out of the pranks of her fellow students is the class giggler, Virginia Shaw. And on the other side of the list is the girl who is the most dignified, the very charming Grace D’Arrigo. Turning to the more serious side of our class — but wait a minute, here comes that model of punctuality, the fellow who would be late to ' his own funeral, Frank Hynds. Sit down, Frank, you’re just in time to say good-bye to our guests. But to get back to the subject, I want to introduce you to the girl who through her efforts has attained the highest honor possible in the class, that of being class valedictorian. She is Jane Buckley — our most studious classmate. The class genius is a fellow who has our utmost admiration. Besides being very prominent in extra-curricular activities, a linguist of renown, and one of the most popular fellows of his class, he has managed to win second honors in studies — the class salutatorian. Congratulations, Bob Brower. Every class has its outstanding members in various fields of endeavor, and wc are no exception. The class artist is a very talented young lady by the name of Ruth heeler. Another girl who is noted for her art is the student who possesses the greatest amount of originality — Edythe Solberg. The class poet — I should mention here that he is a creator of comic poetry — is David Stevens. How about reading us a selection, Dave? We of this generation are all more or less crazy about swing music, but the boy who is absolutely gone on the subject is that classy jitterbug from the deep, deep south, our class swing fan, W ayne Phillips. If you have been annoyed by two fellows up there talking, it is only the class pals. These two fellows are so inseparable that they even arranged for their last names to begin with the same letter so that they could cause a double amount of trouble to their homeroom teachers throughout their stay in this institution. They are Frank Weisbecker and Robert Wilson. If you have been looking over the group, I am sure you must have noticed a very quiet, attentive lady who is so conscientious that the mere thought of a dis- ciplinary session would make her swoon. I am referring to the class saint — Miss Priscilla Means. A fellow who came to us at the beginning of his junior year and who immed- iately made himself known for his hard work in the classroom and on the gridiron is Frank Peters. He has done such a fine job in his two-year stay with us that we voted him the member of our class who is most likely to succeed in the outer world. We have covered most of the important figures of our class, but we have sev- eral left, who are blessed with talents that should send them far in the entertain- ment world if they should ever get the urge to go on the stage. First, I am pleased to present a couple of young people who can show us all a thing or two about the correct way to “trip the light fantastic’’. They are the class’s best dancers. Stand up there, Muriel, “Peanut” Johnson and Carl, “Hat- tie” Holman. Next, we have those two fugitives from the Hollywood talent scouts, the class’s best interpreters of the drama, Maureen MacHugh and Jack Masked. They have both been very active in Masque and Wig productions and, undoubted- ly, will soon be seen starring in a Hollywood picture. Last of all on my program is the nightingale of the class of ’40, our own Hazel Wheeler. It is too bad that time does not permit Hazel favoring us with a vocal selection, so we shall have to be satisfied with only a bow. And so endeth my chronicle of the statistics of this graduating class of June 7, in the year of our Lord nineteen hundred and forty. I thank you ! 186 PROPHECY •§— Shirley Moore Operator — May I have the Dietitian’s Office, — Hello — Tib. Well, the 1950 Good Will Tour, sponsored by those public-minded Melrose merchants, Clifford Beckford, the haberdasher; Dick Fraser, the shoe man; Kenneth Manning, the druggist; Ray McIntosh, dealer in music; Florence Dillon, the photographer; and many others, has come to a happy ending. I had so much fun guiding those girls all over the United States, — and the people from the Class of ’40 that we saw! — There were droves of them — some in high positions, too. Of course we went to New York first. There was ever so much doing on the boat on the way. Captain Holyoke Adams was the busiest, cheeriest man I’ve seen in a long time Dick Rumrill was the sort of ‘ ‘personality-plus” man who had charge of keeping us passengers occupied. There was a group of teachers on their sabbatical. Among them were Jane Buckley, Eleanor Cox, Bernadette Ma- honey, and Phyllis Sanford. Paul Dearborn’s band “gave forth” with the most heavenly dance music, — and Beverly Bacall sang beautifully! We were greeted at the dock by Mayor Boecker, who promised to show us the sights of New York. First of all, we went to Radio City, and guess who the guest artists were? — Paul Prince and Bill Pidgeon! They were beginning an ex- tended concert tour of the country. Maureen Mac Hugh had the lead in the fea- ture picture — and they used to say that Bette Davis was good! Francis Ashley and Joseph Gorvin are partners in running Radio City. They certainly do ' a swell job. The next “must” on our list was the view from the Reed Building, which is ten stories higher than the Empire State. Remember what a good business man- ager Castle was back in school? Well, he’s risen to all sorts of heights. Up there we saw Phyllis Barr, Beatrice Russo, Willard Luken, and Kenny D origan also “taking in” the rarified atmosphere. Walking down Fifth Avenue, we passed Saks. As women will do, we gazed longingly into ' the window. Instead of the ordinary “chic” creations from “Paree”, we saw the smoothest outfits “by Deibert”. Priscilla Eaton is buyer for them, too, we heard. Remember how shadeless the sidewalks of New York used to be? — Well, Bill Delory and co-worker, Bob Poirier, planted lovely shade trees all along the avenues. I think we should vote them a medal. Then the girls wanted to see what a night club was like, so we went into “Hawaiian High Spot”. Bob Moore’s Hawaiian band, with Louis Murphy, Art Mac Lean, and Phil Cargill, was swinging out with some marvelous tunes written by the team of Mahson and Wells. Frank Weissbecker runs the hospitality end 187 of the club and Bob Wilson has the business end. They make quite a combina- tion. Bespectacled Ginny Maher, keeper of the books”, came bustling out of her office and sent a cheery smile in our direction. We left New York for Washington, D. C. There we attended a reception at the White House and discovered that the President’s most personal, personal sec- retary was Joe Frost. We saw Charlotte Brooks, ambassador to Denmark ; Herb Holden, the Pres’s” favorite cartoonist; Betty Cartnody, a second Elsa Maxwell (as far as parties go) ; and Bob Brower, interpreter for the foreigners who had trouble with our native tongue. Naturally, we went to the Congressional Library, and we found Ginny Sim- ons was the librarian in charge of the whole place. For some of her staff, she had Marcia Anderson, Charlotte Coombs, Doris Kinville, Thomas Powers, and Derik Willson. In looking at some of the newer volumes, we saw on the bindings - M acDonald and Co. Mary Effic has evidently successfully taken over her fa- ther’s business. After leaving Washington, we went on south to Miami Beach. The Nautilus Hotel, that super-duper resort of resorts, was under the efficient management of Bill Baier. When we entered the dining room, we were greeted by the head waiter, John Mac Kay. After a marvelous dinner, prepared by head chef, Alan Hart, we went out and looked around the grounds. On the tennis courts we saw the “pros” Howard Hawkins, Bruce Park, Raymond Smith, and Bill Tomer in a speedy game of doubles. From there we wandered to the swimming pool, to talk to life-guard Malcolm Thompson , and to watch Janet Spencer practise her diving for the Olympics. Swimming in the pool were Connie Warren, Paul Whitney, Paul Hanglin, Mary Ella Clark, and Lin-wood Bennett. The nine-hole golf course, designed by Thomas Long, drew us next. There the champion, Wayne Phillips, and the ex-champion. Earle A ewton, were teeing-off with Catherine Powers and Millie Henke. A dude-ranch in Texas, was our next stop, and there we were greeted by owner Vincent Dion, who asked us if we’d like to see the foreman break in a broncho. We hurried over to the corral, and there was Howie Ells astride that bucker. They say that he got his training on a farm in Concord. Upon looking over the dudes, we found Eleanor Fahy, Roberta Gray, Marjorie Fair-weather. Wendell Hasey, Bill Parsons, and John Weston; looking, respectively, as beauti- ful as ads from Vogue, and as handsome as ads from Esquire. — My, — oh my! That night Jule Vclluto and Teddy Wilder entertained us with some cowboy songs. Leaving the ranch, we went to California, and inevitably, Hollywood. What a time we had there. We were met at the train by those t wo comedians, Priestly and Preble. They took us to the Troc”, which is now owned by Mickey Jacobs. They were having stunt night, and the audience participated. ‘‘Zoom girl” Irene Howard sang a song; Clyde Horton and Muriel Johnson did an exhibition dance; Ruth Kiley told the story about “Herman, Her Pet Lamb”; and Virginia Hill did a marvelous acrobatic number. Oh. I almost forgot to mention Dick Fogg’s or- chestra, with John Fawcett, James Calt, Stan La-wry, and many others playing in it. Faith Harding and Jack McNamara were the featured singers. 1 88 Next, we visited the “Little Theatre” where so many actors and actresses are discovered, and found Jack Maskell directing. Della McDonald, Wayne Miller. and Esther Moss were his assistants. “Yvonne’s” shop intrigued us; so we hied there. Anna White rushed forth to welcome us and -called out her best models for us, Lydia Longshore, Leona Mac Loan, Althea Davis, and Jean Alvord. At the perfume counter we whiffed an intoxicating new perfume compounded by the combined efforts of Jeanne Knickerbocker and Elinor Hoyt. We found a “Lonely Hearts Club”, and went in for the fun of it to look at the register. The names of Betsy Geddes, Nancy Ray Goldthwait, Eileen Dris- coll, and Shirley Widdowson graced the pages of that tome. Naturally we couldn’t miss one of the movie studios at least ; hence we picked on the 20th Century Fox. As we entered the main office we saw a list of the di- rectors and their assistants who- were busy that morning. On closer inspection we perceived the names Robert Ahearn and Frank Hynds, Edward Lacey and Harold Reasor, Nick Scarpa and Howard Ring, Bob Whitman and Perley Wad- land, and Harold Groody and William Hindon. On the set they were shooting Mary Hopkins’ best-seller, “Coming On the Breeze”. Jean Skinner as script girl was buzzing around, cueing Frank Dawley and Thelma Newman, the romantic leads. We held our breaths as we watched stunt-girl Eleanor Riley transfer from a moving plane to a speeding auto, for one of the scenes. We noticed nurse Tillie McLaughlin and interne Elie Bourque nearby. The movie stars are always developing new fads, and this year they’ve gone athletic. We watched the “Beverly Hills Beauties” practise basketball under the eagle eye of coach Adelaide DiPietro and assistant Pauline Mullett. Then the “Hollywood Hercules’ ” under Dick Else and Zip Zurbach were going right to town at baseball. Rita Dillon, Martha Bean, Lillian Brown, Barbara Jack, and Priscilla Jeffs are among the basketball aspirants; and Donald Joy, Phil Horton. Francis Mazza, Dick Sorenson, and Rolfe Smith were some of the “diamond-cut- ters”. Yellowstone Park was our next big stop on the way back East. Priscilla M cans was running a very successful souvenir shop. The skillful keeper -of the animals was none other than Harry Aaron, aided by Eddie Graham, Joe Kripp, Parker Shiite, and Jack Shea. There were Eleanor Arnold, Elaine Greenlaw, Dorothy MacDonald, and Anne Gall. We lagged at an interesting Navaho Indian Reservation. Charlie Boynton turned out to be the agent. Nancy Bolton and Marion Kenniston were taking pictures of the scenery for a book on which they are collaborating. There was a nature lecture going on, and Jean Capper was the lecturer. Arthur Rand was showing movies as she talked. ( hicago claimed us after the Reservation. First of all, we visited the office ot The Morning Herald”. Peeking in the door, we spied Ralph Sprague at the desk of Editor; and James Byrne, Warren Slum 1 , George Lynch, and Sheldon 189 Carbee at those desks labeled Assistant Editor. Leicester Johnston nearly knocked us down as he came tearing in with a late feature (per usual). Joe Martin was busily typing out a story for an Extra. Paul Burton, Doris Marshall, and Fred Alther were just leaving to cover all angles of a fire disaster. Virginia Shaw was industriously writing the “Advice to the Lovelorn” column. Adelaide Manning dashed off a puzzle page while we were watching. While walking along the street, we met Barbara Bragdon, who told us that Florence Bowser was married, Jeanne Henry had just published a book of poetry, June Richards was State Tennis Champion, Peggy Hoffman was star of an Ice Revue, John Simpson had discovered a new medicine, John Swenson was run- ning excursion trips on Lake Michigan, and Steve Meagher was one of the more popular “legitimate” actors. A trip to Albany via the Great Lakes sounded inviting, so we all trooped aboard the “Harriet T.”, the most graceful ship of the Chaplin Steamship Line. Captain Ralph Churchill asked us to s t at his table, and there was Dot Colyar. the famous columnist; Dot Mildram, the etiquette authority; Roy duff, the polo star; Bob Cummings, the steel (spelled s-t-e-e- 1 ) magnate; and Frank Howe, the dermatologist. In the evening’s entertainment Ruth Wheeler did a Spanish tango. Jupe Virgin a juggling act, and Leah Waters sang some cowboy songs and twirled a lariat. As we steamed by Detroit, we saw a huge sign, “The Parker Auto Plant” ; and right next to it was the “W cntzell Steel Corp.” I was talking to Catherine Greene, and learned that she was taking her daughter to Albany to attend the “Helen Wills Studio of the Dance”. At Albany, we descended upon the Vega Hotel, owned and run by Leon Da- mon. Sojourning th ere were Roland Claflin, tycoon of Wall Street; Patricia Damory, popular model; Jimmy Flynn, sports commentator ; and Claire McClel- lan, famous newspaperwoman. We were on the first floor, and at about eight o’clock the next morning were awakened by vigorous banging on the ceiling. I went up to investigate and found the famous tap-dance team of Phyllis Mitchell and Denton Fernald practising. On the train from Albany back to Boston I had plenty of time to read the paper. Have you seen it today ? Well, Barbara Vaughan’s picture is on the first page. She has won the Pulitzer Prize in science. Lurthermore, Harold Dc- Coste’s pole-to-pole flight in an autogyro, Ted Phillips’ play “It Did Happen Here”, and Valerie Smith’s poetry book, all won Pulitzer awards. Today, Betty Champlin took over the “Points for Parents” column, and on page 45 is a “Scoops in Styles” article from the pen of Jeanne Conn. Wouldn’t it be fun to see or hear about the rest of the Class of ’40? — You have? — I’ve got to unpack by duds and souvenirs and then take a rest. — So long, Tib. — I’ll be seeing you soon. PRESENTATIONS Theodore James Boecker ( assisted by Willie Shakespeare ) {Dressed as a jester ) §— How now my co-mates and brothers in bondage. Fair damosels of high degree, Lend me your ears. Our parting hour draws on apace, Two happy days bring in another moon ; But, O, methinks how slow this old moon wanes ! And so, Melrosian youth, stir up Yourselves tO ' merry sport. Awake the pert and nimble fancies of thy mirth. Turn melancholy out. ’Tis no companion For our pomp today, While 1 beguile thy fancies with these baubles, Gauds, knacks, trifles, nosegays, sweetmeats, Purchased from yon Woolworth mart within the town, And brought you here to stir Your hearts and minds this day to merriment. Art Davis {face pozvder ) Now by my faith, if any man in this spotless town hath a fairer countenance, I shall have good fortune to see it. But, ah me ! the day will come when roses fade, as it hath often chanced. I do implore you use this beauty aid. Holyoke Adams {handkerchief) This youth is a melancholy one. He hears merry tales and he smiles not. 1 fear he will prove the weep- ing philosopher when he grows old, being so full of unmannery sadness in his youth. A handkerchief for your tears. Adieu, good Sir Melancholy. Ardele Mathison {fan) Thy tongue’s sweet air is more tunable than lark to shepherd’s ear. I would my ear could catch thy voice ; my tongue, your tongue’s sweet melody. Come here, Mistress Yum Yum. I prithee, take this fan and remember thy success in the ‘Mikado’. David Paul and Stephen Meagher ( mirrors ) As I live ! What a pair of handsome gentlemen have we here. Of all the men my foolish eyes have looked upon, these are the most deserving of a fair lady. Look in these mirrors, gentlemen, and see what a goodly pair of noses thou hast, what cheeks that Hush with mingled tints, what fringed curtains to the optics. Are they not the very pink of perfection ! Doris Amby ( ribbon bow ) There in her hair Dame Natute plays the spider which hath woven a mesh to attract the hearts of men. To add to your parcel of wooers, the idols of today that pushed the idols of yesterday out of recollection, the lovers sighing like furnace and writing ballads to their Mistress’ eyebrow, let me offer thee this perman- ent bow. It can be made fast with a slight twist of the hand, and a little attention to the matter. Daniel Horgan (red cape ) Indeed, sir, there has been much throwing about of brains within these stately walls. But thy cerebrum is much given to the throwing about of “Ferdinand”. Wave this, good master Toreador, but don’t let thyself be found under a tree like a wilted nosegay. Phil Tauber ( wrench ) Gadzooks ! Whilst I speak of Ferdinand, word ■hath reached mine ear (or was it rattles that reached mine ear) of thy automatic contraption, thy four wheeled Ferdinand, thine ancient jalopy. By all means protect thy relic, and take this wrench, to ‘fix him up’. Constance Lovejoy (hat pin ) Let me see ! What have I for thee. What is your particular distinction? Marry, I have it! thou hast been late to school now and then, or, as one might say, occasionally, that is, from time to time. Here is a de- coration for thee, a pin, guaranteed to get speed out of a snail, when used correctly, if thou dost get the point. John Brady and Frank Peters (gun and ship ) The army and the navy, our defence by land and sea. Frank has a yearning for the ocean. He will sail away on a ship someday, and John may fire the shot heard ’round the world. These for luck, in case. Beverly Bacall ( gum ) This is a damsel of good countenance. Her cheeks do bear witness to a good diet, of spinach and carrots and the like. But she has a fault. What could there be for a lady to chew, with those pearly incisors — sugared dates, quinces, apricots, citrons, limes ! No, and what a blush creeps up my withered cheek! ’Tis Spearmint, Doublemint, Ten-Crown, Dentyne, Tea- berry, and Chiclets. 192 Carl Holman (pillow) They say this fellow doth have many virtues ; he eats well, and has a heady wit, and does a goodly store of home work by night. But, tut, this is not the end. He sleeps by day. Better use a pillow lest thou crack thy variable sconce and miss at being a ‘Holman’ (whole man) altogether. John Holmes (sheet of music ) Zounds! Who comes hither? A wolf! a Wolf! Wolf (well for) for goodness sake! I have here what one might call a deathless ditty for thee. Use this in your round of serenades. “Who’s Afraid of the Big Bad Wolf”. Lois Goldthwait, Nancy-Ray Goqdthwait, Lydia Longshore. Mary Ella Clark (ivhistles) Four little maids come hand in hand Chattering of the sea and land. They do go about, about; Thrice to here and thrice to there And thrice again to everywhere. These whistles will warn the innocent pedestrians to take to the walls when you appear with thy squadron under full sail. Bruce Park (permit to play “Boogie Woogie”) Be it known unto all men that by these presents, Sir Park has an official sanction to produce “Boogie Woogie” style on the grand piano in the Melrose High School auditorium. Here and now bring forth thy sweetest strains. I never heard so musical a discord, such sweet thunder. Castle Reed ( Caesar hook) Away with him ! He speaks Latin. But alas and alack ; it is Freshman Latin that he aspires to. Never did I see such a gallant descent from a ‘Castle’ of learning ; such setting of a noble wisdom to fit the measure of a fair maiden’s home work. Here is a little Caesar to remember the good old days bv. Helen Riley ( pencil ) Look to thy pencils, comrades ! Conceal the grap- hite behind thine ears, .or among the folds of your am- ple gabardines perchance. An uncontrolled passion for writing implements possesses this fair creature. Who could believe that such innocent gaze is but a cover for an infamous treachery. Perhaps this slight bauble will satisfy thy yearning. I ‘Riley’ hope so. Roy Cluff and Robert Clark ( adhesive tape ) Here is a lusty pair of handshakers. Though they be separated but the space of a few hours between sun- set and sunrise, they needs must waggle their clasped hands every morning like long lost friends discovering each otherwith a tearful eeye. This stout tape will give thee relief from the shaker’s cramp. Natalie Weeks ( Hawaiian doll) By my bard, or less of it, art thou perchance the Theta Hawaiian dancer of 1940? Here is a compan- ion for thy stepping. Wouldst accept this from an humble admirer. Some light footed thou must be To trip and skip a step with me. Fred Hoffman (gold paper covered chocolates ) Many a time and oft have we met thee in the Rialto. “A dollar for the Year Book” sayest thou. Hath a Senior money? Is he not bereft of cash, flat, broke? But we have borne it with a patient shrug. Methinks that you must dream of money bags at night. Here is a ducat for thee. Avaunt ! David Stevens (joke book ) A wit is here, my friends. He stands befor e you in all his modest bearing. And it is meat and drink for me to see a clown. Motelv is the only wear. But if thou shouldst someday knock upon thy pate and find nobody home, use this joke book for the nonce, and quote another’s wit to fit the case. Shirley Moore (apple pie) It hath come to my ear, the gossip one, that thou hast a fancy for good viands and an eye and a tooth for a good round pastry. Here’s a pie for thee, Mis- tress Shirley, and there are more and more where this came from. Lawrence Zurbach and Richard Else (sign with the words “Two of a kind”) Thou and thou are as suitable a pair of boon com- panions as ever did travel the wide world together. Thy wanderings are but one, thy finds but one, thy wants but one. So taking it all in all ; and adding one and one together; and looking over the matter from every angle; and summarizing all the facts; thou art, as one might say, speaking frankly, two of a kind. Virginia Tibbetts (matches) Hist, Romeo ! A president ! The one who fans the flame for the torch bearers. Take these matches and ‘Zip’ one across ‘Zurback’ of a rock and thou wilt never loose a flame. IQ4 Bill Baier ( badge — third term ) Heigh-ho ! Another president approacheth. But here is a black secret. The fact is (the shame of it dyes our faces) we are in the red. We have all flunked, no di- plomas for us. But wait ! There is a bright spot. We’ll all be back next year, and we’ll be booming you for a third term. Take this badge, turn on thy best grin, and it will be easy. Charlie Holt ( hat in a bag ) Toads in the witch’s brew! Yet another presi- dent. A thousand thank you’s for the Prom ; and a bit of advice: keep a ‘Holt’ of your office, Charlie. I have it all sewed up for thee. It’s in the bag. Throw this hat in the ring and you’ll be covered to the ears. Mr. Sprague ( garden animals ) To thee, sir, We owe the most in wisdom and in love ; For ourselves we would not be ambitious To wish ourselves much better; but for thy sake We would be twenty times more just, a thousand Times more fair, ten thousand times more clever. That only to stand in thy esteem, We might in virtues, beauty, brains Excell the Freshman. Happy in this, We were not yet so old nor born so dull, But we oould learn how in thine office, wolves Were turned to meek and bleating lambs. Come, prove that magic still inhabits thee, And from this hat a rabbit pluck, and ducklings three; And in thy summer garden give them places In sweet remembrance of our smiling faces. ( Conclusion) A jest’s prosperity lies in the ear of him that hears it, Never in the tongue of him that makes it; And as thou hast received my jests right merrily, So I would bid thee all a gay adieu.

A 96 ( graduation Mary Jane Buckley Valedictorian Robert Brower Salit tatorian Virginia Simons Essayist 1 98 SALUTATORY — § Robert Brower Parents and friends, Mr. Sprague and teachers, Mr. Stuart and members of the school committee : it is a distinct privilege to welcome you to this, the most significant occasion in our high school career. It is because of your combined ef- forts in our behalf that we are participating in these graduation exercises tonight, and it is most fitting that we should extend to you at this time our heart-felt thanks for all that you have done to make this occasion possible. A NEW ALADDIN’S LAMP Who has not heard the wonderful tale of Aladdin’s lamp? Who has not been thrilled with the glowing descriptions of genii — of fantastic palaces built in one night by the supernatural servants of the ring and the lamp. What an appeal to the imaginations of young and old has this ageless story! Yet today, in this world of reason and fact, there are no less amazing miracles happening every day. New inventions, new discoveries in the realm of science have put to shame the poor powers of the lamp of Aladdin and have given to man a new lamp — a much more bright and shining one, ever at the service of those who work for the good of all. This magic lamp is science, the slave of man — a servant which performs unbelievable things at his command. For a long time men have felt the need of a new and convenient source of power — power which could be used to operate all kinds of engines and machines effectively ; and so they turned to their magic lamp and set its forces to work on the problem. Hardly more than a month ago, a twenty-seven-year-old physicist at one of our American universities succeeded in isolating a minute quantity of “U-235”, one of the forms of the hard, white metal, uranium. This isolation of “U-235” is such a great discovery that it may change the whole world completely. This substance has such enormous power and activity that only one pound of it is equal in explosive force to fifteen thousand tons of ff. N. T. Ten pounds of “U-235”, immersed in water would produce enough energy to drive a battle- ship indefinitely without refueling. The whole world of transportation may be revoutionized by this material, one pound of which has a potential power output of three million gallons of gasoline. Think what it will mean to mankind when “U-235” is isolated in quantities large enough to be put to practical use! Think of the fabulous powers and energies of the substance ! Think of what the effect will be on our lives when “U-235” is commercialized! Could the lamp of Alad- din produce anything as miraculous as this? Some of the most common diseases of man have hitherto been almost unex- plainable because of the fact that they were caused by organisms too small to be seen by the best of microscopes. They were even smaller than the wave-length of light, and for many years scientists have agreed that nothing smaller than the wave-length of light could be seen with any microscope. But again mankind 199 raised its hand in command, and now a new kind of microscope has been invented which goes beyond the world of light and explores the realm of darkness, in which live things that are small beyond comprehension. With this new instrument, what was before thought impossible has been achieved. The principles involved in this startling invention are the use of electrons instead of light, magnetic fields instead of lenses, and a fluorescent screen instead of an eye-piece. Electrons are in many ways like waves of light, except that their wave-length at certain voltages is about one-one hundred thousandth of that of light. There- fore, microscopes using electrons instead of light would have a magnifying power one hundred thousand times as great as that of other microscopes. Electrons cannot be used in air, however, for they are so small in comparison with the mole- cules of which air is composed, that they would he turned out of their path through collisions with these molecules. To cope with this situation, a vacuum is used. Instead of the glass lenses employed in ordinary microscopes, the electron mi- croscope uses magnetic fields, which are capable of bending and focusing streams of electrons just as mirrors and lenses do with light. These magnetic fields can be adjusted at will, and in this way the image can be focused on the fluorescent screen. The electron microscope, which was assembled at the R. C. A. laboratories in Camden, New Jersey, will without doubt eventually be one of the necessities of any large hospital or research laboratory. With this new instrument, germs of diseases such as typhoid fever, whooping-cough and the streptococcus germ have already been studied, and new things have been learned about them. It may be possible to see and study the filterable viruses, abo ut which very little is now known. The filterable viruses are so called because they are so tiny that they will pass through an unglazed porcelain filter. These minute organisms cause many kinds of diseases, and it is even believed by some scientists that they cause cancer. Through the use of the electron microscope, the filterable viruses will be seen for the first time, and perhaps new cures for many diseases will be found. It is pos- sible that more lives will be saved as a result of this new invention than have been lost through any of the wars in history. Why do some people grow to a height of more than eight feet, while others sometimes grow to be only eighteen inches tall? Why do people run faster when they are frightened? In response to man’s demands, science, the magic lamp, has solved the problem. One of the most recent and important developments in the field of medical re- search is the discoveries relating to the endrocrine glands. These glands are tiny organs which pour their secretions directly into the blood-stream, and upon their activity depend our physical growth, mental alertness, and general attitude toward life. The secretions of the glands, called hormones, have the power of arousing- certain bodily functions. For example, when danger is present, the adrenal gland secretes quantities of adrenalin, a hormone which sends energy and strength to the muscles used in battle. eoo A defective thyroid gland can cause an abnormal individual, dwarfed both physically and mentally ; yet, thanks to the new knowledge of the endrocrine glands, this person can be saved from a life of idiocy if thyroid treatments are started soon enough. Many physical and mental conditions and diseases can be helped or cured through this new, more detailed knowledge of the relationship of the endrocrine glands to health and personality. Every year nearly one hundred thousand people in the United States die of pneumonia, the disease which up to now has been responsible for the third largest number of deaths due to any one disease. Mankind again has rubbed its magic lamp and summoned the genii of science to its aid, and this year a new weapon has been put into use to combat the killer. It is called sulfapyradine, and is one of the one thousand derivatives of sulfanilamide. Sulfapyradine acts on all thirty- two types of pneumonia, and it is estimated conservatively that through the use of it deaths caused by pneumonia will drop from twenty-five per cent to four per cent. Usually within twenty-four hours after the first dose the patient be- gins to rally markedly. Although there are some drawbacks to the use of sul- fapyradine, one authority has said, “People just won’t die from pneumonia any more”. Could Aladdin’s lamp find such a great source of power as “U-235”? Could Aladdin’s lamp explore into the lives of animals smaller than a wave of light? Could Aladdin’s lamp discover the relationship of the endrocrine glands to health and personality? Could Aladdin’s lamp find a cure for that scourge of mankind, pneumonia? No! In the brilliant light of truth and triumph streaming from the lamp of science, the lamp of Aladdin is dwarfed into insignificance, and unlike that of Aladdin, there is no limit to the great and amazing things which the lamp of science can and will perform. 201 ESSAY Bulwark of Our Freedom Virginia B. Simons In such a time as this when totalitarian leaders are crushing out popular free- dom, and even the other republican governments of the world are restraining the rights of citizens, the people of the United States should look with renewed ap- preciation upon their Bill of Rights. The people who first came as pilgrims to this country came here to gain free- dom. As each colon) - became a state with a governor, it drew up a state con- stitution. In eight of these state documents, the preamble was a declaration of the citizens’ rights. Virginia had a definite bill of rights, which the House of Burgess drew up a month before the Declaration of Independence was signed. Hence, when our great leaders met at Philadelphia to organize the Constitution, they assumed that liberty and freedom of rights were established in American life. But the individual colonists were not content to have their rights expressed only in state constitutions ; they wanted them set down in the national document. Led by Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, and James Madison, the controversy over the proposed bill of rights became the most talked-of topic of the day. In their articles in “The Federalist” these men wrote for and against the need for such rights in a national constitution. In 1787 when the Constitution was brought be- fore the state assemblies for ratification, many states refused to accept it because no declaration of rights was included. Finally the leaders of the period promised amendments which would include these rights, and the Constitution was approved by all thirteen colonies. What were these rights which the colonists were so determined to have? They were the rights which you and I still enjoy today, but which we perhaps fail to realize are privileges which we, alone in this world, can enjoy. Through- out the years every American has been allowed to worship as he pleased, to as- semble where he chose, to say what he pleased, and to write what he wished. To- day, more than ever, these rights have become our most cherished privileges. Other statements included in the first ten amendments to our Constitution are those which guarantee an impartial trial by jury, no excessive fines or punish- ments, and protection of life and property. Also permitted to us is the right to keep and bear arms for our own protection, and we are given assurance our homes will not be searched or used to house soldiers without due cause. Many times these rights have been challenged and assailed, but always they have proved to be the foundation of our freedom, worthy of our fore-fathers’ dream of a na- tion of self-governing freemen. The first real test for the Bill of Rights came from the Alien and Sedition Acts. The Alien Act gave the President power to ban any alien from our coun- try whom the President thought harmful to American peace and safety. This act 202 accomplished very little, but the Sedition Act, passed at the same time, caused a Supreme Court decision to be made. Under this act any person who wrote or spoke against Congress or the President with the intention of defaming them or of placing contempt against them could be fined or jailed. Decidedly an act which curtailed our ancestors’ liberties, it was brought to the Supreme Court and declared unconstitutional by the court with John Jay as Chief Justice. In the years just before the Civil War Southern states passed laws limiting press and speech because they believed a slave revolt imminent. And during the war military bans on the press were drastic. Lincoln considered these bans jus- tifiable, and other leaders maintained that the Bill of Rights should be severed entirely during a war. However, it seems as if public feeling ran so high during the Civil War days that the suspension of these liberties would only have made conditions worse. The one other instance where our liberties were curtailed occurred during the World War of 1914. People were heavily punished for criticising the war policy of the government. Even after the war freedom of speech and freedom of the press were limited by acts of the legislative and executive branches of our gov- ernment. The judiciary branch, alone, continued to uphold the rights of the people. Although these threats against our liberties now belong to the historical past, we should realize just what it means to us to have these privileges for a Supreme Court to uphold. In our everyday life the Bill of Rights plays an important part. We can talk among ourselves, criticize the President or Congress with no fear of anyone imprisoning us. When we read the papers, we can read both sides of any question. Columnists can give their own opinion on controversial subjects. On Sunday we go to any church we care to regardless of the President’s denom- ination or creed. If an American citizen is arrested for a misdeed, he is consid- ered innocent until he has been proved guilty. Compare this life with that of cit- izens in countries without any Bill of Rights. In the totaltarian countries the word of the leader, Der Fuehrer, II Duce, or Stalin, is law, and to criticize the word or the man is to be punished. There is no trial for a man who has been arrested. He is guilty with no chance to prove his innocence. In the schools and meetings the opinions and principles of one man are taught. Drilled into the youth of Germany is the word of Hitler ; into those of Italy, the principles of Mussolini. The press is controlled by a selected few, who interpret the news tp the satisfaction of the leader. Because he reads only the views of this leader, no person knows what is truly happening in his own or other countries. Even in England and France, traditional democracies, there is no Bill of Rights other than an unwritten one. Now, in wartime, everything is censored, and all rights are reduced. Can we not see how fortunate we are to have a Bill of Rights which is upheld by the highest tribunal in the land? Since we have been privileged to be Americans, we owe something to the peo- 203 pie who, a century and a half ago, gave us the laws which insure our freedom. We owe to them and to our country more than mere appreciation. We must de- fend these rights, use our privileges but not abuse them. Above all, we must realize what it means to have a Bill of Rights. It is the symbol of the freedom for which Americans have fought and may have to fight again. It is the founda- tion which has allowed us to maintain a democracy when other world powers have succumbed to dictators. At the entrance to New York Harbor stands the Statue of Liberty, with whose torch, held aloft in her right hand, we are all familiar. Rut few of us know that in her left hand Liberty holds a copy of the laws which guarantee the freedom of the country for which that torch is a beacon. Let us resolve that when this war-mad world shall return to its sanity, it may find in this scroll the formula for peace and freedom, a formula which has made our Constitution the perfect polit- ical document to teach the world that in order to survive, a nation must guaran- tee the freedom of its citizens. 204 VALEDICTORY Mary Jane Buckley — § THEODORE ROOSEVELT Theodore Roosevelt was the roost versatile man ever to be President of the United States. A man who could do so much could not do everything perfectly, though few have ever done so many things so well. His whole life is one of amaz- ing activity and accomplishment. During his lifetime, Theodore Roosevelt was a politician, statesman, popular leader, naturalist, soldier, orator, and historian. In his early career he served in the New York Assembly, retiring after this service to a ranch in the West. Even on the ranch he was constantly active, writing two biographies and doing active duty as deputy sheriff. Next he was appointed to the United States Civil Service Commission, became Assistant Secretary of Navy, served in the Spanish War, and was elected Governor of New York. His many and varied activities as Pres- ident are well known. After his presidency, Roosevelt spent ten months hunting big game and collecting specimens of natural history in Africa. This expedition was followed by a tour of Europe, on which he gave lectures and public addresses. Upon his return to America, he eagerly returned to politics. During his retire- ment, Roosevelt wrote his biography, toured South America, and made a hazar- dous expedition through the jungles of Brazil. Again during the World War he fought unceasingly for the principles he believed in. Throughout his life he never ceased working, fighting, acting, accomplishing. Theodore Roosevelt’s contributions to his country were many. His boyishly daredevil and impetuous action with the Rough Riders in the Spanish War aided greatly in quelling the Spanish. He personally led cavalry attacks and inspired his men with his own fiery enthusiasm, gallantly leading them on to victory. The vigorous and effective attack which Theodore Roosevelt launched against big business earned him the name of “trustbuster”. The New York “World” made the statement years later that the United States was never closer to a social revolution than at the time when Roosevelt became President. The growth and extension of the power of organized wealth was becoming an alarming situation in the eyes of the average American. The President was keenly aware of this situation and realized that the principles of equality and justice were being vio- lated. Swift and startling was his initial attack, followed by steady pressure on the large financial interests of the country. His fight against monopolies was a long and energetic one, one in which he clearly demonstrated his vision and cour- age and one by which a dangerously imminent situation was avoided. Theodore Roosevelt’s outstanding contribution to his country was that of con- servation. Under his administration, the area of national forests increased from forty-three million to one hundred ninety-four million acres. The water power resources of these areas were put under governmnt control to prevent speculation 205 and monopoly. In general people of that time believed that the prosperity of the country could best be aided by private capital controlling the national resources. Roosevelt saw the folly of this theory, for timber-lands were recklessly wasted and the national water power was to a dangerous extent in private hands. His policy of conservation roused deep public interest and sharp opposition, but the wisdom and value of his action are no longer disputed. Just as many opposed the policy of conservation, so many openly rebuked President Roosevelt for his negotiations in Panama. Immediately following Pa- nama’s secession from Colombia, ' he sent down a cruiser. He realized the part the Pacific was to play in world history. Moreover, the long delay in bringing one of the navy’s greatest battleships, the “Oregon” from the Pacific coast of the United States to the Atlantic in the Spanish War had convinced him of the ne- cessity for a canal across the Isthmus of Panama, if only for strategic reasons in the event of war. Therefore, when after years of useless negotiations he had the opportunity to obtain the right to construct the canal, he did not hesitate but acted at once, convinced that delay would mean only postponement. The President was charged with having encouraged the revolution in Panama, but there is no evi- dence to support the argument. His swift and decisive action can hardly be any longer questioned as to its value to the nation. Theodore Roosevelt’s administration had a profound effect upon the stimula- tion of national pride and the increase of the country’s prestige. When he entered office, the United States was m a secondary position among world powers. When he left office, it was in primary position, admired and respected by other nations. As notable as his contributions to his country are Theodore Roosevelt’s con- tributions to the world. In the first place, he was an enthusiastic naturalist, ac- cepted by scientists in his field as an accurate and trustworthy observer. Furthermore, despite his numerous activities Roosevelt found time (which seems incredible) to write thirty-three principal works and others less significant. “The Naval History of the War of 1812” is the best work to be found on that subject. He was as energetic in his writing as he was in everything else. It is true that some of his work show’s evidence of haste, but in general it is a notable contribution to historic literature. Still another of Theodore Roosevelt’s world contributions was his intervention in the Russo-Japanese War. Part of his papers reveal how far-reaching was the seemingly local controversy between Japan and Russia and how his intervention prevented the growth of an international conflict. For this service to w r orld peace he received the coveted Nobel Prize in 1910. Theodore Roosevelt’s high ideals and dynamic personality have so impressed others that more has been written about him than about any other American. One of his outstanding traits was the aggressiveness which characterized all his ac- tivities. His fearless and relentless attack on big business, his negotiations in Panama, his conservation projects — in fact, his entire administration illustrate this prominent trait. Roosevelt was noted for his complete independence. Never was he under the sway of the political bosses. Never did he consult anyone before taking any step. Nor did he fear public op inion. For example, when he went to Panama during the construction of the canal, he broke the precedent which was supposed to pre- vent a president from leaving the territory of the United States during his term of office. Foresight was another of Roosevelt’s characteristics. He saw with alarm how the natural resources of the country were being wasted and foresaw the deplor- able situation which would result. In the face of opposition he succeeded in his policy of conservation. Despite Roosevelt’s aggressiveness and independence, he was kindly and un- selfish. When he was fighting with the Rough Riders, he took care that his men were as well cared for as he and insisted on sharing their privations. This so- licitous care won him the admiration and affection of his comrades. Roosevelt was always unswerving and persevering, even from his youth. As a boy he was frail and was therefore not allowed to associate with the rough- and-tumble boys of his own age. But by constant care and training he built up his frail body and became strong and healthy. This perseverance served him well later in life. When he was visiting South America, at the suggestion of the Bra- zilian government, he set out on a nine-hundred-mile expedition through the jun- gles of Brazil to determine the course of an unknown river vaguely indicated on maps as the River of Doubt. The journey was difficult and perilous, for if the expedition moved too slowly, there would be death by starvation, and if it moved too fast, there would be death in the rapids. Canoes were crushed and supplies were lost. Finally Roosevelt himself was taken desperately ill, but he pushed on. At last, when survival seemed hopeless, the party reached civilization. The Bra- zilian government named the stream the Rio Roosevelt. Without the leader’s de- termination and courage, there would surely have been disaster. A more fighting, fearless, forcible man than Theodore Roosevelt ' has never been President of .our country. These words which he wrote himself express better than any others his code of life, “I wish to preach, not the doctrine of ig- noble ease, but the doctrine of the strenuous life, the life of toil and effort, of la- bor and strife; to preach that highest form of success which comes, not to the man who desires mere easy peace, but to the man who does not shrink from dan- ger, from hardship, or from bitter toil, and who, out of these, wins the splendid ultimate triumph”. Parents and Friends of the Class of 1940: hen a successful play is over, when the curtain has fallen on the last scene, the actors and actresses have scored a triumph. They receive the applause and the praise. But how successful would they have been without the aid of the coaches and directors? It is these who have prompted them in their parts, re- hearsed with them, worked with them, helped them from the very beginning. Without their assistance the play could not have succeeded. Thus it is with us who are graduating tonight. We are playing the last scene in our high school career, and if we have been successful, it is only because of your willing assist- ance. You have been our coaches, prompting us when we forget, encouraging us 207 when we faltered. We gratefully acknowledge all. you have done for us and ex- tend to you our sineerest thanks and appreciation. Though we are about to take our leave, to turn to a new play, as it were, we shall not forget those who have helped us in this one. We of the Class of 1940 bid yOu, each and every one, “Farewell !” Classmates : There is an old Japanese proverb which says, “Many paths there be to reach the mountain’s height, but all who climb there see the same moon’s light’’. But before we reach the mountain’s height — success and happiness, we must possess the means of arriving there. In high school we have equipped ourselves with those means ; we must now develop and utilize them. The various figures repre- sented in the architecture on the outside of the high school building symbolize the instruments necessary to reach success. Over the center door are two owls, symbolizing Wisdom. One becomes wise by learning and by experience. Therefore if we are eager to learn and if we pro- fit by experience, we are approaching wisdom, which in turn leads to success. A second picture is that of a person gazing into a mirror. This picture sym- bolizes Truth and teaches, “Know thyself”. Before gaining knowledge of other things we should know ourselves — our faults and failings. For only by so doing can we overcome them and take another step toward the mountain’s height. Another picture is that of a man looking at a globe. This figure represents Knowledge — a knowledge of the things around us. We must be acquainted not only with our own surroundings ; we must have a broader knowledge by contin- ually increasing our learning. Finally there is the picture of an oak tree growing from an acorn. Here, in- deed, is a lesson for 11s all. It is from the little things that great things come Our efforts and accomplishments may seem small and insignificant in themselves, but by patience and perseverance they will result in something greater. Such are the means of reaching success which we have, to some extent, gained in high school. We must become wise by learning and by experience, we must learn to know ourselves, we must increase and broaden our knowledge, and we must learn that by being patient we shall see the results of our efforts. We are well equipped with the means to success. Self-assuredly we may face the future, secure in the preparation we have received here. Now the inevitable time for parting has come. Let us keep the memory of the Class of 1940 always with us, and say, each to each, “Farewell!” jfe j|e j|c j|c 208 COMPLIMENTS TO THE GRADUATING CLASS FROM THE FOLLOWING PARENTS Mr. Mrs. G. L.
