She is a member of the Cosmos Club, Consule Planco Club, Girls ' Glee Club, and is Secretary of the Student Body. Her winning smile has made her manv friends.

She siii -s in the Girls ' Glee Glub, and acted as one of the fair maids in the Trial By Jury given this year. Evelyn also took part in the school pageant last spring. JEANETTE BASSETT— Jeanette has few ho bbies, but one of them is playing in the snow with Alwyn Jones. She is a member of the Gosnios Glub and acts as interpreter for Mr. Thomas ' hand writing. Behaving in school, which so few girls have acquired, is practised absolutely. DANA BLANDIN — Dana will surely be missed after graduation. He is a member of the Orchestra, Quartette, and Boys ' Glee Glub. Dana, in spite of all his musical talent, has been thinking of entering the hair tonic business. We all wish him suc- cess. (iEORGE BORSARI— (Jeorge is the best all-round athlete in the school. He has made quite a number of letters since his debut in High School, and we sure are proud of him. He doesn ' t let his abilities interfere with his pleasures however, because everyone knows George ' s Overland. ELEANOR BROWN— There are many things which amuse Elea- nor in school. She enjoys the second recess the most, because it gives her an opportunity to chat with Garey. Eleanor is a member of the Gonsule Planco Glnb. Cosmos Glub. and (iii ' ls ' Glee Glub. [7] ELLIOT BRYANT— Elliot is a protejie of Mrs. Brawn and yives her a j-reat deal to think about. He is a member of the Cosmos Club, and has aided both the club and the school with his carpen- tering abilities. Bryant has not disclosed his intentions for the future, but we suspect he is somewhat interested in matrimony, and its complements. ALBERT CAREY— Albert is a very remarkable youth, but he is careful where he casts his remarks. He is a member of the Orchestra and Boys ' (llee Club and he played forward on Princeton, the champion group team. Carey has been man- ager of every sport at least once. In connec- tion with his future we are inclined to believe that he is interested in Brown. DOROTHY CHILDS— Dot is our live wire, and she has so many accomplishments to her credit that it would be hard to name them all. She is a member of the Consule Planco Club, Cosmos Club, the Pro Merito Society and the Girls ' Glee Club. The Senior Class elected her to the Cabot Club. As Alumni Editor of the Sachem .she has worked hard. Dot is a member of our Year Book Stalf ' . Her favorite proverb is Speak for yourself, John. TED CHURCHILL— Ted is Mr. Tillson ' s chief bottle washer. He is interested in engineering, and knows his mathematics. We will all miss Ted ' s playful pranks. EVELYN CLARK— Evelyn is an athlete as well as a scholar. She has been the outstanding figure in girls ' ath- letics since they have had them, and has par- ticipated in basketball, baseball, and track. Such organizations as the Pro Merito Society, Consule Planco Club, Cosmos Club, and Sachem Staff claim her as an active member. [8] CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE HERBERT COLBURN— Herb is a favorite among his class- mates, and we all enjoy his playful actions. His giggle has broken up many a plot. ETHEL COLE — Ethel not only has nice dimples but also a sweet disposition. We all enjoy Ethel and her ready and willing smile. ANNA COX — Anna is one of our quiet girls. She very seldom speaks, bvit when she does we are always ready to listen. EDITH CRONAN — AVe all recognize Edith ' s artistic temperament and wish her the best of luck in this field. LORT] rER CUMMINGS— Lorimer proclaims his favorite game as being tiddly-winks, and if one could see him the last period juggling ladders under Ted ' s suj ervision, it would not be hai ' d to believe. Lorimer is going to study to be a minister — mavbe. [9] CORINNE CUSHMAN— Corinne sings in the Girls ' Glee Club, and is a very excellent typist. Everyone ap- preciates Corinne. Her amiable nature has been the cause for more than one heartache. LOUISE DESROSIERS— Louise took part in the Trial By Jury, this year. She belongs to the Cosmos Club and the Girls ' Glee Club. In C2 Louise brightens up all the corners. RUTH DUNCKLEE— Many are the hearts that flutter as Ruth passes. Ruth does proficient typewriting and acted as Mr. Mack ' s chief typist last year. RUTH DUNHAM— Ruth is a member of the Girls ' Glee Club and was in the Trial by Jury, given this year. Ruth ' s chief difficulty is keeping away from the boys. Her favorite car is the Buick, and we all know why. CARRIE EAYRS — Carrie has been a faithful member of the Girls ' Glee Club for four years. AVhenever she has been asked to do anything, it has been done willingly and with a smile. [10] A.RLENE FARRTNGTON— One of our quiet girls?? Arlene has faitlifully served as Treasurer of the Cosmos Club, and assistant business manager of the Sachem. She has also been a member of the Glee Club and Consule Planco Club.

WILMONT FLANDERS— Wilniont is a new-comer this year, but everyone recognizes and appreciates the record he has made for himself since his arrival. He is a member of the Pro Merito Society, and is vice-president of that organization. In athletics Wilmont plaj ' s all the sports well. ELINOR FT LLER — Elinor says her greatest ambition is to get a permanent wave and fly in an airplane. Her love of fun has enlivened more than one class. ELSIPj GALFRE — Elsie has dutifully sold nuigazine subscriiitions, concert tickets, movie tickets, etc., etc., for four years. With her ready smile who could refuse her? She has also been business man- ager of the Sachem and our Year Book. [II] MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE ELLEN GAUDETTE— The Senior Class would haVe had many things put over on them unsuspectingly with- out Ellen as spokesman. She has steadfastly come to Glee Club. She might be a nurse but she says she won ' t be satisfied until she gets forty million dollars. ROBERT GLIDDEN— Bob is our class sheik. He never says much but he does a lot of thinking. Bob ' s greatest ambition is to become an opera singer. Bob played tackle on the football team for two years, and everyone admires his ability. ARTHUR GUIDOBONI— Art is another sheik and is fond of en- chanting Eayrs. Art was a member of Princeton, playing guard. He intends to con- tinue his education, and we feel that he will succeed, provided he is safe-guarded from the clutches of the fairer sex. HORACE GUIDOBONI— Horace is Arthur ' s brother as you may have supposed. Horace is of similar nature to Art but has different political views. He is in favor of the town manager form of govern- ment. Horace is our be.st dressed boy. HAZEL HANSON— The quietest Senior girl by vote of the class. Who .says women talk all the time? Her chief occupation is keeping quiet — but you never can tell !

He was Captain of Prince- ton, playing ' center for that organization. He also had the honor of being the highest scorer in the group league.

' ' At present Alwyn is en- deavoring to invent a noiseless chewing gum — may he succeed. BERNICE KEOUGH— We asked whom she liked and were in- formed Nobodj in town. We wonder just what was meant by that remark. Bernice says her greate.st ambition is to get married. We suspect that she won ' t wait long. MILDRED KEYES- She is little, but. Oh, my.

However, her greatest ambition is to be a teacher so you can see that the words are empty. She took part in the Cosinos Club Pageant. IIUTH MANLEY — Her chief occupation seems to be seeing how fast she can type. How her fingers fi,y. She says she hopes to be the secretary of the President of the United States. DOROTHY MARANVILLE— One of our faithful concert readers. We all sit back with satisfaction when Dot comes out to read. She is also one of the office typists. [15] CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE ] IARY McGUIRE— The little girl with the wee voice. Mary came to us in her Junior year from New Bed- ford and promptly joined the Consule Planco Club and the Pro Merito Society. Her pet abomination is French — pronouncing it in )ar- ticular. ALBERT MERRIHEW— The best boy dancer— and that ' s not the only thing he is best at. He sold so many tickets for the Senior Movie and the Senior dance that it fairly made us gasi3. He says he wants to succeed in life ; we haven ' t a doubt but what he will. CHERIDAH PxVQUIN — Cheridah is always surprising us with her hidden talents. We all wish she would make iise of her gift of poetry. She is one of our quietest girls. HELEN REDLON — Such a quiet girl we would hardly know she was about. When she is seen working in the lunch room, she is anything but quiet. STELLA ROBBINS— Stella has faithfully played the trombone in the orchestra for four years.

Bill says little, but he has remarkable powers of per- spection. [17] MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE JOHN SULLIVAN— Sully is a member of the Red Cross, and proclaims himself as beinj; an honorable Senior. He is one of our athletes, playinfi on the football, basketball, and baseball teams. VINCENT SUKEFORTH— Vin is noted as one of the best arguers that I I. H. S. has ever known. Vin ' s greatest grievance is that Sully has him beat in height now. EVELYN SYLVIA— A member of the Pro Merito Society, the Glee Club, and a faithful worker for the Sachem.

We all know that George will succeed. ARTHUR WHITTEN— Pop was appointed Chief -of -police of the school at one of our Student Body meet- ings. Pop ' s towering six feet six frighten the fresliies so that they throw their papers into the proper receptacles. He is a member of the Pro Merito Society and of the Orchestra. JULIA WHOIjAN — We were afraid Julia was going to leave us. as she left school in the Junior year.

[19] MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE HELEN WIKSTEX— Helen is a quiet girl but we know that what- ever we ask her to do will be done. She has been one of the office typists and took part in the Cosmos Club pageant. STANLEY ZIDI ALES— Stubby held the center berth on the football team last fall and his work was ap- preciated by all. He is the bashful boy in our class, and very seldom notices any girls except when they aren ' t looking. Qldss Ode By Chertdah A. Paqum Tune : The End of a Perfect Day We stand at the end of a garden fair Where our dreams at last have come true. Here the golden hours were the blossoms rare, And our fears were but morning dew. But alas! as we sing with our garlands gay, We know that we soon must part. The voice uplifts with a gladsome note While the song sighs in the heart. And what are the gifts of our garden fair? All the joy that the years have brought. For the seeds we ' ve sown and tended with care Are flowering now into thought. The world has its paths that we soon will tread; That criss-cross divide and part. Oh, the voice — let it ring with a gladsome note, The song has a sigh at heart. [20] CLASS OF TIVENTY-NINE Salutatory and Essay: The Importance of Science ROGER M. LEONARD HE Class of 1929 welcomes to its gi-ad- nation exercises all those who have tl? helped make this event possible, ' r First of all we greet our Snperin- tendent, ]Mr. Cushing, and the other members of the School Board, through Avhose support the high standards of our schools are maintained. Next we extend our greetings to our Principal, Mr. Mack, our Sub-master, Mr. Tillson, and the other mem- bers of the Faculty of Memorial High School and also to the under-class men. And none the less cordially our hand goes out to all par- ents and other interested people through whose co-operation Ave are able to be liere to- night. Although science has made its greatest ad- vances in the past three centuries, it dates back to the early stages of civilization. Among those who made most important progress in ancient times were Archimedes, Euclid, and Heron. But in many instances their theories and discoveries were inaccurate and unim- portant. At much later dates came Galileo, Newton, Bacon, and others ; their theories, also, often failed to be understood or be- lieved, although they did create great interest and thought. Through tlie Industrial Revo- lution that swept over western Europe in the seventeenth century, scieiu e came into great ]iroiiiinence and advanced in leaps and bounds. Today nearly every observation oi- opiM-ation is based on its ])i-iiicii)les, and planned and dii-eeted by tliem. All of oui ' macliines are built on scientific laws that have been worked out during the centuries. It is the principles of science that direct us in tlie construction of the gigantic skyscrapers and ocean liners of today. It is these same prin- ciples that instruct us in the building of air- planes and Zeppelins; and by referring to sci- ence once more, the exact efficiency of the machines can be computed. The toils and discoveries of now famous men have given us the science of electricity, by the aid of which almost imjiossible tasks are performed. We send messages from one side of the world to the other, illuminate and heat our buildings, talk over wires, operate machinery, and use the electrical current in the mechanism of our automobiles. All of these accomplishments would have seemed like miracles to the people of a few centuries ago. Science plays an important part in world travel. By careful study of the atmospheric and physical condition of the eartli, weather predictions are made possible with such ac- curacy that they are a most valuable aid to sea-going vessels, mail planes, and all other means of transportation. Last, but not least, they ai-e of unlimited value to the agricultur- ist, who must i)rotect his plants and crops in unfavorable Aveather. Agriculture including all types of farming and ])rodu ' ing, lias been reduced to a scien- tific basis, so tliat we know where to grow and how to grow our i)]ants for best results; liow to raise and care for live stock projierly ; how io coi-rectly cut and preserve our timber; and how to use all of our land to its best ad- [21] CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE vantage. Science has reclaimed great arid and swampy areas, and clianged the desert and tropics to productive regions. Tremendous advances have been made in medical and surgical sciences. Plagues once prevalent in tropical countries have been overcome, and the infested areas replaced by healthful resorts. Cures are now performed by learned and humane methods, and opera- tions are conducted that were impossible be- fore the creation and perfection of medical and surgical sciences. Chemistry is a most important branch of science. Its arms reach out to all sovirces of production and growth. With its aids we are able to make new products that are better and less costly than former articles. Waste materials are put to iise with the result of greater economy. Mining and similar indus- tries are carried on by careful scientifie anal- ysis, and not by a hit-or-miss i)rocess. Com- pounds are worked to their last bit of useful- ness ; while by properly uniting free elements, new compounds are created that revolutionize entire industries. Chemistry enables us to find the exact composition of minerals, extract the desired elements, and put them to work as agents of the advancement of mankind. We are protected by the chemical analysis of food products. Their ingredients are carefully studied by chemists, who pass them as safe and beneficial before the products are placed on the market for sale. In war chemistry plays such an important part that depart- ments devoted to chemical warfare alone have been created in the governments of the lead- ing nations. Advance in science means the advancement of the world. Without the aid of science we stand still and grope in the dark, trying to find the solutions of the problems placed be- fore us. With its aid we can successfully overcome nmny obstacles, and more rapidly approach the state of perfection. [22] MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE Class Statistics ELINOR M. KINSMAN I i| 1 1 E other evening I asked Mr. Tillson for the kej to the M. H. S. attic gU S where the archives of the school are l ipf kept. I looked over various records of some note when I suddenly saw a book with lavender and gray covers. It was tied with a huge lavender bow with a card attached, on M hich was written, in Mr. Tillson ' s fine hand: The Class of ' 29, the finest and most brilliant class which has ever or will ever be graduated from M. H. S. Ah, I thought, this must indeed be a wonder- ful class to have the approval of so august a scholar as Mr. Tillson. I untied the ribbon and turned the pages of the book. It appeared to be in the form of an album for there were group pictures as well as individual ones and all had interesting inscriptions. The first one which particularly caught my eye was that of the whole class under which was printed these interesting data : ' ' This is the largest class ever to be graduated from ] I. H. S., there being se venty-one members in all. The total weight is eight thousand eight hun- dred and fifty-six and three-eighths pounds (8,856 3-8 pounds.) If each member stood on the other member ' s head the combined height would be three thousand nine hundred and fifty-seven and five-eighths inches or to the top of the Central Baptist Church steeple plus the Congregational church steeple plus one-half of the stand pipe. On tlie opposite page was a group of four girls: Hazel Hanson, Bessie Veazie, ] lary McGuii-e, Elizabeth Rolit. They say tliat silence is golden, therefore these girls must be the wealthiest in the class. Evelyn Bailey, Ruth Dunham, Carrie Eayrs. These girls stated that their greatest ambition was to behave in salesmanship class. It ' s a worthy ambition! Robert Glidden, George Weeman, Dana Blandin. Can you guess the inscription? The class sheiks ! Yet they all have laudable ambitions. George desires a musical educa- tion. Bob hopes to be a landscape gardener. We can all imagine Dana as a singing sales- man selling Palm Olive soap. Jeanette Bassette, Corinne Cushman, Elea- nor Brown. These girls all want to grow. Jeanette wants to grow inll, Corinne wants to grow rich, and Eleanor says she Avants to grow up to be something. Her favorite book is Mother Carey ' s Chickens. Eleanor was voted our best dressed girl. Ruth Duncklee, Bernice Keough, Elsie Gal- fre. Ruth wants to be a good cook, Bernice wants to get married. Elsie didn ' t state any ambition, but we suspect — oh, well it isn ' t any secret they are all matrimonially inclined. George Harlow, Leslie Hinckle.y, Stanley Zidiales, Dominick Leammo. George and Leslie are the most bashful boys on account of their darling blushes as one girl ex- pressed it. The boys said that none of the girls are bashful . Stanley was voted our (juietest boy. Dominick doesn ' t know what he is going to do but we know lie ' 11 succeed in Avluitever he attempts. One page whicli interested me ])ai ticularly was one which contained sevei ' al snaps of various luenibers of tlie class. [23] CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE Frances Warren, Evelyn Sylvia. They received a tie vote in answer to the question Who is the most romantic? Evelyn Avas also voted the most ambitious member of tlie class. Louise Desrosiers, Annie Jacintho. Louise ■was voted the best girl dancer. We do not question her ability. Where would the Sa- chem be without Annie for a typist? Helen Hoard, Alwin Jones. The most romantic eoujile. Helen is the class baby but for aH lier youthfulness she has been declared the class flirt. You better watch her Jonesy! Arthur Guidoboni, Horace Guidoboni. They were unanimously elected the best dressed boys. Art tries hard to act so- phisticated but he doesn ' t fool us — he is the youngest boy in the class. Arthur Whitten, Mildred Keyes. The long and the short of it! They say that Pop has more blusli j)er s([uare foot than anyone in the class. We agree. Dorothy Childs. Dot was voted the peppiest girl in the class. Whoever breaks her ticket selling record next year will be worthy of a gold medal. Her bright and original ideas for our socials have swelled our treas- ury abundantly. Carolyn Fisli. By vote she is the prettiest girl in the class, but we didn ' t need any vote to tell us that. John Sullivan. With his curly hair, his big sparkling eyes, and pleasant grin one wouldn ' t need to look twice to see that John is quite our handsomest boj ' . Raymond Gerrior, Wilmont Flanders , George Borsari. Ray is our cla.ss presi- dent so further explanation of his good deeds is unnecessary. Monty is a natural born athlete and a gentleman as well. Some say he is basliful, while others think lie has left a girl ill Galit ' oriiia. We ' ve all speeulatcd on that ci-cpc lijiiiky which he wenrs in his breast i)ocket. George is our best all- around athlete. M. H. S. will be minus many victories next year without him to help. Ethel Cole, Anna Cox, Mary Faulkner, E ' len Gaudette. Ethel, Anna, and Ellen are going to be nurses. We think Ethel will spend most of her time crooning lullabies. Mary is going to be a teacher. Norma Smith, Evelyn Clark, Arlene Far- rington. Norma was elected the best all- around girl. She saj s her greatest ambition is to rival Billy Murphy in driving taxicabs in Middleboro. Evelyn ' s pet abomination is being good. Arlen e may be a nurse but we suggest that she get a job selling Frigidaires. Her tongue will never have to rest then ! Elinor Fuller, Arnette Hayward, Cheri- dah Paquin. Julia Wholan. Elinor says she ' s dying to ride in an airplane and Arnette siys she ' s crazy to travel — perhaps they ' ll be the first women to circumnavigate the world. Clieridah and Julia are more seriously minded. Cherry wants to teach and Julia ' s going to be a private secretary. Edith Cronan, Ellen Rogers. Lillian Makie, Stella Robins. Edith and Ellen are the class artists. More than one event during the four years has benefited by their sense of beauty. Apparently Lillian weighed herself on the five and ten cent store scales for she put down her weight as being one thousand one hundred and eighteen pounds Stella was almo.st elected the class flirt. Shell have to mend her ways when she goes to the hospital, we fear. Ted Churchill, Elliot Bryant, Lorimer Cunimings. We can ' t imagine Ted as any- thing but a comedian — he says he hopes to be a captain in the Swiss navy when he grows up. Elliot has thought up a theory that rivals Einstein ' s. Every great man has his weak spol and French is liryaiit ' s — the graiumati- cal end of it in particular. Loriniei staled his [24] MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TIVENTY-NINE greatest ambition was to kill two birds with one stone. His favorite game is tiddly-winks. Helen Redlon, Helen Wiksten. Did you ever see two people with such blonde locks? I ' m sure you haven ' t — and it ' s genuine too ! Euth ] Ianley, Dorothy ] Iaranville, Arnold Sellers. Ruth says she Avants to be secretary to the president of the U. S. A., but we think she would make an excellent Bebe Daniels. Dot with her dramatic powers could rival any actress, playing Lady Macbeth. Arnold, our mischievous Pandora, says she never wants to marry. We would suggest that in that case she take up the profession of law where she will be able to argue to her heart ' s content. Albert Carey, William Smith, Herbert Col- burn. Albert is more readily recognized as Mrs. Brawn ' s special perpetual motion ma- chine, the class tease, or the chronic talker. He expects to further his education at Brown. We ' ve always wondered Avhy Bill studied Commercial Geography with such zest. It has been disclosed that he is continually looking Hay ward. Herb is our most temperamen- tal boy. He always keeps us guessing as to what he will do next. Brirbara Vinal, Hilda MacKeen, Corinne Kidd. We advise you to eat something be- sides clie ese-crackers if you desire to fulfill your ambition of becoming a fat lady in a circus side show, Barbara. Hilda is one of our ([uiet persevering girls and we know tliat whatever she goes after she will get. Cor- inne ' s hobby is collecting motion picture actors ' photographs. Her favorite sport is Gym on Tuesdays. Robert Long, Chippy Merrihew, Vin- cent Sukefoi ' th. How we girls do envy Bob ' s school girl complexion and his ability to make up tantalizing rhymes. Chippy was voted the best boy dancer and the peppiest boy in the class. Everything he has done proves it. Vin is one of our industrious boys. Lois Thomas, Roger Leonard. The shining lights of the class — the valedictorian and the salutatorian. They were both voted as the two most likely to succeed in life.

Borsari A. Merrihew [34] MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE Essay and Valedictory: Past, Present and Future of the Calendar LOIS B. THOMAS iiE purpose of a calendar is to nieas- ure and register the passage of iIjk days throughout each year. Early IPT calendar making was begun by the Egyptians, who divided the true year — 365.242 days — into twelve months of thirty days each, the five remain- ing days being devoted to festivals. Julius Caesar, after concpiering Egypt, adopted its calendar for the Roman Empire, first making several changes. He discontinued the equal months, distributing the five extra days throughout the year, adding one day to every other month, and subtracting one day from February. In 28 B. C. Augustus Caesar, eager for fame, altered the calendar even more, the result being months of the same length as at present, a Leap Year occurring every fourth year. The inaccurate length of the Julian year caused an accumulation amounting to ten extra days in 1582. This situation was remedied by Pope Gregory, who ordered that the ten days between October 5 and October 15 be omitted. He decreed that only those century years divisible by four hundred should be Lea]i Years. It is owing to these changes that the yearly dates truly record the seasons. The Gregorian caU ' ndar has remained until the present time. In tliis modern century we are beginning to see the defects of the present system, all of them due to three features namely: the moiitlis are uii( ' (|nal ; tlic montli is not an ex- act ninltiiJe of tlie week ; the calendar is not fixed. Owing to the variations in the calen- dar, dates of periodical events can never be fixed precisely. In 1922 the American section of the International Chamber of Commerce recognized tliese difficulties and set in motion a world-wide movement to revise the calen- dar. The League of Nations, to hich the situation was referred, after thorough inves- tigation recommended the organization of na- tional committees to sound public opinion. This suggestion has been acted upon by our own country as well as others. A committee composed of representative leaders, headed by George Eastman of the Kodak Company, is actively engaged in the work. Several plans have been proposed to elim- inate the impracticable features of the calen- dar, the most feasible being known as the In- ternational Fixed Calendar. In brief, the new calendar would consist of thirteen stand- ard months of twenty-eight days each. A new month, now called Sol, wwild be inserted between July and August, causing very little confusion in respect to the seasons. The three hundred sixty-fifth day would be December 29, a Sabbath, known as Year Day. An- other change would occur in Leap Year, the extra day to be June 29 instead of February 29. Easter would always fall on April 8, in- stead of following the fii ' st full moon aftei ' March 21. Many benefits would result from this ])lan. The day of Ihc Mcek would indicate the monthly date, the fii ' st day always being Sun- [35] CLASS OF TWENTY-NINE day, and so on, thereby regulating ' monthly and weekly reckonings. Holidays would al- ways occur on the same week days. Monthly computations would be made easier because of the equal months. As there would be thir- teen monthly settlements instead of twelve, tliere would be a faster turnover for the cir- culation of money. Despite these advantages, several disad- vantages ai-e obvious in the plan. The figure thirteen is not divisible by two, three, four or six. The quarters of the year would not con- tain an equal number of months. Supersti- tious regard for Friday, the thirteenth, occur- ing every month, would be difficult to over- come. Last, but not least, there would be complications and expense involved in cal- endar change. Now let us consider a second plan whicli has been formuhited, whereby the ((uarters Avould be equalized. The year would be di- vided into four periods of three months, the first two months containing thirty days each, the last thirty-one. This one advantage, how- ever, does not offset the other defects in the calendar, being only a j artial solution of the problem. The thirteen-period calendar is already be- ing used by some fraternal and business or- ganizations, among them the Western Clock system for thirty-six years. A questionnaire Company of Illinois, which has employed the sent to six hundred leading business men of the country resulted in the report that ninety- three percent are in favor of the Interna- tional Fixed Calendar. Directed by the League, an International Conference ma.y be called at an early date. Tlien a definite phui will be worked out for adoption at the first opportunity, i)robably -lanuai-y 1, a Sunday. Tlius the iues- tion of the calendar becomes an international one. Shall it be altered I And how ? Let us hope that public opinion will favor such changes that we of the twentieth century may go down in history, a people as progressive as Julius Caesar or Pope Gregory. ili if ' Classmates : In the fall of 1925 we crossed a new threshold of learning to enter upon our High school career. Four years of comrade- ship have passed, during which we have striven to better our life opportunities. We know no words to express our gratitude to you teachers for your patience, aid, and ad- vice yet we mo.st sincerely appreciate youi- efforts. Tomorrow we enter the great futiire. Classmates, as you go forth, remember: One by one thy duties wait thee. Let thy whole strength go to each ; Let no future dreams elate thee. Learn thou first what tliese can teach. Hours are golden links, — God ' s token Reaching heaven ; but one by one. Take them, lest the chain be broken Ere the pilgrimage be done.
