Idle ieature ol last year’s schedule was a match between the 1 acuity and the students, the latter being the yietors. Such players as Jack Agar, Bohliy Stiles, Boh Ells, Russ Carey, and John Murray lorm the backbone ol the 1943 squad. With this material plus any new members, the team hopes to better their last year’s standing. [ no ] ( (Hich — Mr. Poole 1 ennis was revived in 1947 alter a lapse ot seven vears.

This year they need no introduction, Fred Webb, and Betty Alden. Betty along with Flollis Restall make up our best natured pair. z s lor looks, we ha c them too. Stand up Dot U ' alker and Bill Rowe and show our friends what I mean. We hayc a very unusual girl in our class in Agnes Shaw, the most fastidious and also most dignified student. W e all know our actor and actress, Jack King and Larch Foxon, by their roles in the school plays; but here are two who would never appear on any stage, Bob Kelley and Shirley Ralston, most bashtul hoy and girl. 11 anyone has a question about the latest jive, ask George Pearse, class swing fan. Speaking about music, we also have another musically inclined person, Barbara Mitchell, class songstress. W ' hile I lollywood has two fair dancers in Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers, MFIS has two excellent ones in Paul Sheridan and Dotty Andrews. .Although most of our class are hard vorking and idtra smart, there are two that stand out, Barbara Mellin, Most Studious; and Dick fennev, class genius. d he boy who gets along with all the teachers is Dick Golburn; most SLiecessiul bluffer; maybe Dick should teach Duke Kumpel his tech- nique so that Duke could he more successlid. Did anyone hear a little giggle up here? You probably did because Gert Kinsman, class giggler is around. She’s most likely laughing at one ol Nat Fletcher’s jokes. Nat is the class wit. 1 he gay blade or easanova of our class is Wktlly Barker. Stand up W ally and take a bow. Next, it is only natural that 1 re ’cal our class llirt, the girl with the lasso this year is Betty Marsolini. 1 wo people who are bound to succeed in later lite are Anita Beard and Joann Foster, class artist and poet respectively. Ant)ther person w ' ho will succeed in any field in which she partakes is Marilyn Conte. Marilyn was voted most likeb’ to succeed. Everybody km)ws, or will know what Ruth Goldthwait was voted. Stand up Ruth, and give our friends a great big blush. mong the class of “48” celebrities we have two inseparable pals, I larrv Whlliams and Andy Scrymgeour. I las anyone ever heard of a giant sixteen feet tall? If not then you haven ' t talked to Conrad Lindsey, class exaggerator. Stand up Cnnrad, but never mind telling us any of your tall tales. One person who never tells any tall tales and who always behaves in a gentlemanly manner is Dick Slade, class saint. Leona W ' illett never had to copy anyone’s theme because she is the most original of our illustrious class. The female tarzan of our class is Julia Bacigalupo, most athletic girl. Julia is well known because of her ability in playing all sports. 1 here must he some mistake because it says here that yours truly. John Grocott, is the most athletic hoy. I’m sure I don’t know why. Last and least often on time is Jim Hollis. Jim is usually about fiye minutes late for eyerything, hut I’m sure he’s here novy. Now you all realize That I am telling you no lies W ' hen I say that this class here Is the best in many a year. Yes, this class is hard to beat, And now farewell. I’ll take my seat.

ATOMIC ENERGY - SAVIOR OR DESTROYER OF MANKIND When the hrst atomic bomb exploded in New Mexico on July 16, 1945, the hopes and fears of the scientists and military men who witnessed the event were realized. They hoped the experiment would succeed, for it meant an earlv cessation of hostilities; they feared it would succeed, for it was a power they knew mankind would abuse. The explosion culminated more than hve years of intense study, cooperation, and secrecy and ushered in a new era in the his- torv of the world. W ithin a month after the first test, two atomic bombs were dropped on Japanese cities. 1 he day after the second ripped Nagasaki apart, the Japanese offered to surrender, rather than be completely anni- hilated by this strange new weapon. It was fortunate for the Allies that they did not wait to surrender, since there were no more atomic bombs, and a costly invasion of Kyushu, already in preparation, would have to be tried. It is believed that the use of atomic cnergv, by avoid- ing this invasion, shortened the war by at least a year and saved the lives of over two million people. The military effectiveness of the bombs has been a subject of much controversy. An incendiary attack on Tokyo in March, 1945, was much more destructive to life and propertv than the atom bomb dropped on Hiroshima. Naturally, the use of a large number of [ 134 ] small bombs can inllict more widespread damage than one large bomb, since the latter must be detonated at a height which will allow its energy to spread out over a larger area than could be had it it exploded on the ground. The atom bomb is exploded at an altitude of about two thousand teet, and obviously much of its lorce is lost. There are military men who say that a blockbuster could inflict as much damage as an atom bomb does, hut experts disagree with them and say that the atom bombs were at least a hundred times as effective. It would require 2000 B-29’s to carry an amount of TNT that would explode with the force of one atom bomb. Although there are some who question the elfectiveness of the super- bomb as a military weapon, they cannot deny its elfectiveness as a psychological weapon. The Japanese fought on after a destructive incendiary raid on their capital hut lost no time surrendering after two ot their cities had been razed by atom bombs. Even now, in peace- time, we live in fear of some potential enemy reducing New York or Washington to a pile of rubbish. The question of whether or not other countries, especially Russia, have learned the secrets of atomic power is hard to answer. It is believed that German scientists were well ahead of the Americans and British in the study of nuclear physics and its wartime applications in 1942, but most scientists agree that no nation but the United States has a working bomb at the present time. I low ' ever, some of them are interested in a crater which was supposedly hollowed out by a meteorite about ten months ago in Siberia. The United States Government used a meteorite as an excuse for the New Mexico blast. The most terrifying fact about the atomic bomb is that if it had been perfect, it would have been a thousand times more powerful. Although it will never be perfected to that degree, it will certainly he improved as other inventions have been improved. A bomb hlty times as powerlul as the one dropped on Hiroshima is both possible and probable, and will present civilization with a suitable suicide weapon. The question of outlawing the use of radio-active substances has arisen many times. That cannot he done, since those materials have been the most effective means of lighting cancer for many years, and new uses lor them in medicine are just being found. It would also be useless to promise not to use our atom bombs if our enemies promised not to use theirs. This is commonlv and erro neously believed to be the reason why gas w ' as not used in the last war. Gas w ' as not considered to be an important weapon; the atomic bomb certainly is. [ 135 ] In case we have a third war, the use oF radio-aetive suhstanees will he Found in other weapons besides the atomic Ixrinh, which will proh- ahly take the lorni ol the -2. One ot these weapons is an atomic cloitd, consisting entirely oF “IcFt-oycrs in atomic homh construction, and thereFore an inexpensive Form ot destruction. Spread over enemy territory hy airplanes, the radio-active particles in the cloud would render that territory uninhahitahle. Oitr scientists could have deyeloped the cloud during the past war, hut they did not recommend its use. I loweyer, they suspected that Germany might haye developed one and started working on deFensive measures in order that we would not he taken by surprise il one had been deyeloped. Tbere is no actual deFense against either the cloud or the bomb. IF we spread our industries oyer large areas, the bomb would not be elFectiye, but that plan is too impractical and too expensive. The peacetime uses oF atomic energy are more varied than those oF wartime. Radium has already been used as a source oF high-voltage electricity. Not too Far in the Future, maylre as soon as 1975, homes will be equipped witli radium generators producing electric current lor less than one-tenth oF a cent per kilowatt hour. At the present time this system has several disadvantages. It is too expensive and too dangerous For use by tbe average person, and the radio-active heart oF the generaterr could easily Fall into the hands ol a potential enemy, who would use it lor destroying us. The Future will also gi ’e us atom- powered airplanes that will be able to Fly at altitudes oF several hundred thousand Feet and at speeds ol thousands oF miles per hour. At some time in the next Few generations, people will be able to “step on the uranium’’ oF their cars and take hve million mile pleasure trips without reFueling. I hese are but lew ol the many possible applications oF radio-acti ' e elements. They have been For some time the most ellective cancer killers, and in the Future they will play an important role in medicine. I heir alue as explosives has already been proved. In a Few years atomic energy will be a greater held than electronics is today. IF the nations oF the world could work together peacelully and intelligently, pooling their knowledge oF the atom, that day would arrive much sooner than is expected now. But until the time Europe realizes that wars are useless, it is the duty ol the United States to guard what knowledge she has in order to keep us From exterminating ourselves. [ 136 ] THE NEW EOLK MUSIC joSETTE J. KaLOUSTIAN 1 he I880 ' s witnessed the blossoming of a new species oi musical Hower called ragtime. It had sprouted in New Orleans from the innate desire and ability of the Negro to e.xpress himself by music. Because of the distinctive composition of the city with its notorious Storvville section, the location was peccdiarlv suited tor the nurturing of this obstriperous offspring of music. Until 1910, jazz was confined to pertormance by Negros in New Orleans. Their jazz bands can be described as a group of sell-taught performers playing the same tune, each in his own style with some- what unpredictable results. It would have been useless to write an arrangement, for the majority could not read music. .Now there developed a type of jazz that opened a field to singers, lor 1910 marked the birth of the “blues. The blues are a type of “sorrow song written in a minor key, e.xprcssing dejection in simple lyrics. Whth this evolution, bands began to feature vocalists, and jazz expanded. 1 his expansion mo ' cd the jazz center from New Orleans, where the musicians worked long hours for starvation wages, to Chicago, where the hours were better and the pay excellent. Here in Chicago, during the “golden age of jazz, the musicians began to strive for a more perfect musical technique and organized their bands into cooperating units. At the same time, song writers in Tin Pan Alley in New York adapted the superficial elements ot jazz, its off-beat accent and its syncopated rhythm to the writing of popular songs. Erom the beginning of World War I until 1930, true jazz was on the decline, but today jazz and its modified olf-shoot, “swing, are improving in quality and gaining popidaritv. In the beginning, jazz was a product of the Negro people. It arose from the social and economic conditions in New Orleans and brought pleasure to the lowly and shocked the elite. Not until the jazz influence had spread to Chicago did white musicians begin to play it. It would seem that this mode of expression is characteristic in a Negro, but acquired in a white man. [ 137 ] 1 he jazz ol our dav has become exact science. Hands arc compact units playing arrangements which have been wrought with great care. Many of its performers are accomplished musicians, who plav classical music lor rela.xation. Jazz has been acknowleged as a progres- sive lorm ol music bv such composers as Bartols, Ravel and Stravinsky. Indeed, Stravinskv wrote a “Ragtime” suite which he described as “indicative of the passion I felt — for jazz.” Moreover, jazz concerts have even been presented in Carnegie Hall and Town Hall in New York. The development of jazz has effected great changes in our social world. 1 he greater freedom of behavior now condoned has to some extent been a result of the prevalence of jazz music. Consequently, jazz has been the object of much criticism, both just and prejudiced. Internationally, the enjoyment of jazz has created a common bond between the peoples of manv nations. They look upon jazz as the natural product of the evolution of music. Everywhere in the world, jazz has become svnonymous with the United States, the country of its origin. Everyone agrees that the development of jazz is as yet far from completed, that a period of progress and improvement is imminent. What will happen to jazz, the folk music of our nation is a matter of conjecture. [ 138 ] THE MOTION PICTURE -ITS SOCIAL INELUENCE Barbara Jane Mellin Erom the time of its first public showing in 1895, fifty-three years ago, until today, the development of the moving-picture has been al- most unbelievable. With about 90 million Americans, and millions more in other nations all over the world, going to the moving-pictures evert ' week, the production of films has become big business, the fifth largest industry in the United States. In addition to its business value, moreover, it has become one of the principal infiuences of the modern world on the character of our people and our society. The rise of the film as a form of entertainment began shortly after the dawn of this century. It was first considered little more than a trivial, penny-arcade device. Its audience consisted of the people of the dis- reputable and populous districts of metropolitan and industrial areas. The heavv tide of immigration to this country during the first decade of the centurv won lor the motion picture its first popularity. The immigrants, entering this new land with all its novelties, could find in this medium a common interest. The early silent film broke the greatest barrier for the foreigners, that of language. Eilms expressed ideas in such a way that all could understand. Erom this humble beginning the motion picture, alone among the arts, swept through the country handed up from the masses instead of down from the intel- lectuals. Because of its social effects on American life, the values and problems of the motion picture industry are worthy of thoughtlul consideration. Like anv other American institution, the motion picture has both laults and merits. The chief fault is the intense commercialism of the moving-picture. Eilms oiler untold opportunities to improve the con ditions of the world, since the medium of expression by picture, sound, and motion offers a wide range of possibilities. Yet, more often than not, they fall short of the expectations placed upon them. The level of entertainment, therefore, is not verv high. The number of poor films far outweighs the number of good ones. Sensational films, glamorized by the huge advertising campaigns of the studios, do nothing to raise the standard of American entertainment. The very popularity of the films has offered the greatest problem. Producers must worry about appealing to the masses, whose level of intellect is not high, in order [ 139 ] to make a prolil at the ho olhce. Allred lliteheoek, direetor. said, ol the Idms, “ . . . they eould he more subtle than the ■ are, hut theii own popidaritv won’t let them . . . 1 have l)eeonie more commereialK minded; alraid that anythin at all subtle may he missed. ' In the hnal analysis, it is the audienee, w ' ho must develop a more eritieal attitude toward the lilms, so that they may he produced on a level above eommereialism. Another hiult may be lound in the efteet ol the motion pieture on human behavior. The c|uestion has often been raised whether the Idms have any real efteet on behavior, w ' hether tliey change people’s attitudes. Many tests have been made of this point ol view, and all answ ' ers point to a positive eonelusion. It has been tested h ’ eduea ' tional Hhns made tor this e.xpress purpose. Children have been shown films wdiieh have dehnite opinions. I heir attitudes before and alter ’icwang the him ha e often been entirely reversed according to the message in the pieture. d he most signiheant test, the first systematic attempt to find out the efteets of movies on people, was the Payne Fund Studies of 1933. d he psycliologists and sociologists making the investigation agreed that the moving-picture liad a great deal of in lluenee on the audienee, most ol it had. fm ' enile delinquene and crime are residts of this influence. Yet, tlie messages of tlie moi ies Iiave improved, and with the support of American audiences can con tinue to do so until a satisfactory level has been reached. Tlie motion pieture however, does hai ' e its merits. W e must never overlook the possibilities that the moving-picture has as a medium of artistic expression. The differences betw ' een the art of the motion pieture and tlie art of ancient dramatic waiting, painting, and sculp tiire are slight, d he main difterenee is contained in the element ol time. Earlier forms of art w ' ere praetieed for the aristoeraev and w ' ere enjoyed by the few. ft wxis not until alter many centuries that these arts were enjoyed popularly. On the other hand, the moving-picture is a form of mass entertainment, depending on mass support from its very birth. Further proof of the artistic w ' orth ol the films may he lound by comparison, d he qualities ol the moving-picture exceed those of other forms ol artistic expression. Painting has composition, color, and line; sculpture has loriii; music has the play and inter-play of sound; tlie novel has the word; the dance lias mo ement and rhythm. 1 he film has all these qualities; ves is a lorm of art in a class by itself. Vnotlier merit, although it is often considered just the reverse, is tlie element ol e.seape wdiieh the moving-picture provides. Always there are many erities condemning the emotional sprees on whieli a motion pieture sends its audienee. Yet, they fail to realize that the [ 140 ] crv thing they arc criticizing has always been an essential ingredient ol popular Fiction in whatcyer Form it is presented, in the noyel, the stage ]ilay, and the spoken narratiye. They Fail to realize that millions ol people find in their own dial) liyes and in the disillusioning state oF the country, that they need an escape, a time to he lost in tears, laughter, high adyenture, mysticism, or horror. The easiest way For . mericans to find this reluge is through the neighFrorhood moyie. d hus, the critics can continue to lulminatc against motion pictures as long as they wish, hut there will always be those people who neyer cease to hope that the motion picture will continue to oHer recreation, relaxation, and escape From the reality oF the world. Its ehiel merit, howeyer, is the inlluence that it can spread through- out the world. Here is the only medium oF expression that can be understood by all people eycrywhere, regardless of language. Eyery- one can understand pictures. Many people Fear that the influence ahix)ad will he harniFul, that American moying-pictures w ' ill he taken as true representatiyes oF American liFe. Reports do come back From abroad that, the United States must Ixe a land oF gangsters, and cow- boys, crime and Friyolity. Yet, this opinion should not he held. I he motion picture is only doing what the dramatic and hctional media ahyays haye done and always wall do. England’s Shakespeare w ' ould he unrecognizable w ' ere the murder, thelt, and intrigue eliminated. Robin I lood and Sherlock Holmes are no less FanciFul than our characters, d he characters oF Dumas or De Maupassant should not be unpleasantly thought of as symbols oF the moral and cultural leyels oF the nations they represent. Drama and literature should not be con- sidered true to liFe. d hey olFer diyersions and adyentures; they are departures From normal life. This Fact should he realized, films are the criterion oF the taste, not the liFe oF America. C lassmates: 1 onight brings to a close Four unForgettahle years in our liyes, years in which we haye made w ' ondertui triendships and experienced joys and sorrows together. Our high school careers haye held lor us the best times we ha ' c eyer known. Eet us hope the Future brings only increasing happiness. A new ' life lies ahead For all of us. As w ' c enter upon it, let us remember that our years at Melrose I ligh School w ' ill he an inyaluahle memory in our Future. Goodbye, and yery good For- tune attend us all.
