CLASS OF Tiiiury-KuniT ])wi rht FowItT is i.ow sucfessfully i)ractie- in r law and has offices in Boston, Providence, and Xew York City. Robert Pojje and Ed rar Bijrelow are en ra red as professors in Science and (Miemistry at Col- nnibia I ' niversity. Peter Lajradimos is runninfr a delicatessen store in Brockton, the city commonly called God ' s Gift to the Greeks. Clifton Hayden is now employed as a drafts- man by Stone and AVebster, Inc.. architects of Xew York City. Everett Hunter has just received the Critics Award for the best piece of acting done in the l)ast year. He received his early interest in the theater in Rock and Fall Brook. Xancy Alger went through lassacliusetts State with flying colors. She enjoyed her four years very much. Vou l that have anything to do with the fact that it is co-ed ? Gladys Anacki. one of the quietest girls in our cla.ss, is now the proud proprietress of a beauty parlor where she. with her quiet and dignified manner, serves the fair sex. Elizabeth Archer was made famous by a book she compiled on Modern Methods of Dieting. AVe hope she doesn ' t abide by these methods her- self. AVe want Betty around a few more years. 1 guess Middleboro was too small for Eva Bagdon. After graduating from dear old M. H.S. Eva took up travelling. She not only vis- ited sevei-al parts of the Cnited States but many foreign countries have had the privilege of her ])resence there. Lois Barthelmes now astounds our townsfolk with her amazing column on Advice to the Lovelorn , which appears in the weekly Gazette. Our loss is X ' ew Bedford ' s gain I ] Iany a pa- tient has been cured hy the sweet smile and tender care of our own Alma Berube. The artistic abilities of Xatalie Burnett have brought her great fame. Besides doing master- pieces of her own. .she gives lessons in her studio. From all reports her best students come from a place known as Shady Lane. Remember Thalia Caswell, the quiet and re- served young lady from C2 . ' She is now (piite a cut-up , acting as head surgeon in Xew York most i)rominent hospital. At the present time Priscilla Clark is an out- standing flute soloi.st in high .society. To keep lier engagements she rides in a gray sedan, bet- ter known as Tisy Lish. As for her inspiration. well, that always was a secret. Edna Corayer wanted to be a nurse. She suc- ceeded and we have a feeling that Lawrence Souza has been a constant patient, seeking to cure his heart affliction. Xow that Isabelle Cordeiro is owner of the F. V. Voolworth 5 lUc stores the busiiu ' .ss is run on a more efficient basis and produces great- er profits. Caswell ' s grocery concern of Xorth Middle- boro is now opened and operated by Mr. and Airs, (ieorge Caswell. .Mr . Caswell is the former Helen Craig. Betty Crosier is one of Xew York s most em- inent dress designers. In her spare moments .she assists Art Alurray in teaching the latest steps of the shag. Having served her apprenticeship as seam- stress for the First Lady of our fair land. Cliloe Curtis now makes the clothes that hold the Duchess of AVinsor together. Hazel Davis has been a buyer for B?st Co. AVe envy her yeai ' ly ti ' ips to Paris and we wonder if she likes the job or just goes along for tlie ride. Edna Dennett and Dorothy Horsman are both A-1 secretaries. Aliss Dennett works in the office of a Xew A ' ork concern while Dorothy is busily employed in the office at St. Luke ' s Hos- pital in Aliddleboro. Tha ' ia Eames has been very much interested in Cncle Sam. She doesn ' t have a government job. but she certainly follows up the Xavy. AVe hope he hasn ' t a girl in every ])ort. Thalia. Alarine Fortin and her charming per.sonality are at work keeping chi ' dren hap])y. Aliirine is the matron of a children ' s home and. as far as we can find out. he feed» tliciii on ice cream and candy. Our class was noted for its great musicians. Some of these people followed up this musical talent for their life ' s work. Emily (xarafalo is among them. After studying the violin for many years, it has come to the point where she has even Fritz Kreisler worried. Esther John.son is another musician. The piano has brought suc- cess to her. She has had several offers and fin- a ' ly accepted the position of j)ianist in Jiiiiiiiy Dorscy ' s band. During her high .school career Jeanette Greene ' s companion was Helen Roberts, the brunette. It has been rumored but not confirm- ed that her interests in the past few yeai-s have [26]

MIJMOh ' IAL UKIII SCHOOL CLASS or TlllirrY-EKlIIT Myvi Tlioiiias is now the All-Aiii( ric;iii V()- inan ' s Cluuiipion of baskctba ' l, baseball, hockey, niul tennis. There isn ' t nmeh lel ' t for Myra t;) do now but to eontinue her record of breakinf ' hearts that she so sneeessfnlly stai-ted in hci- high school days. One of the athletic members of our class has •••one right to town. Rose Thompson is now the Xational Woman ' s ( ' liamj)ion Wrestler. Ros. always showed great ])romise of this activity during her athUHic career in High school. i Iargaret Tripp is now a housewife. She was man-ied right after she graduated. Trippy is an- othei- one who thinks Plymouth is a grand i)lac, ' . Have you all read tlie new book, The Do and Dont ' s in Geometry , that is the sensation of the year . ' It was Avritten by our classmate, Jane Uiford, in the spare moments in her journalistic career. Phyllis AVard doesn ' t have her homework to hinder her now, so instead she divides her time between the hearts in the Town of Plymouth and Ilebi ' on Academy. I guess Phyllis isn ' t the timid soul she used to be. Anyway that per- sona ' ity she | osses.ses will push her right along. Ellen Williams now gives saxo])hone les;ons. Ellen was a whiz hang in high school too, but her greatest i)robleni at the i)resent is sliowing Billy Osborne that sentimental music does come from a sax. Walking into a jMatrimonial lJureau just re- cently, we spied a fiery red-head furiously tap- ping away at a tyi)ewriter. It wasn ' t much of a surprise to find it to be Phyllis Wilmot, e.s])ec- ially when we learned that the Bureau possessed the intriiiuing name of Budd, Budd, and Budd Co. Helen Zion lias now joined the harmony team of ' Mimniy and Dick. Helen did always have a secret yen for the senior partnei ' , Dick. She followed them around so faithfuMy that I gness she considered it cheaper to join the team than to sit in the audience. Because of her extensive traveling since her high school days, Edith Long now wi-ites de- scrii)tions of travelogues in moving pictui ' es. Edith also gets in something about the sports of the week. You know Edith always had a weakness foi- athletics and athletes. Hazel Shaw now does stenographic work in Frank Cole ' s office in North Carver. II( r gr; ' at heart throb works there you know and Hazel must keep tabs on him. Dorothy Vickery is now doing commercial work in a manufaci iiring concern a1 Ihe Rock. I wonder if Dot ever remend)ers those delight- ful days slie spent in our Amei-ican history c!ass. Roberta Rogers is anothei- mend)er of our class who went commercial. She is back at M.II.S. as an assistant commci-cial instructor. Sh heli)s out those poor ])U|)ils who suffer with commei ' cial pi-oblems. The i)aintings of Eddie K()ri)iiien and Alex- ander Sowyrda, both M.H.S. alumni, are re- ceiving much praise by New York art critics. Jimniie Keegan is cliief lifeguard at tlie Atlantic City Beach. Sannnie Pike recently kayoed Kid Slug- g-o in the ' M-d I ' ound of a semi-final bout in Madi.son Square Garden. Pike is being groomed for a match with the heavyweight champion. The bout will pi ' obably take place next fall. Dutchy (irossnian and Eddie Stulpin have recently been signed as defensemen by Art Ro.ss, manager of the fast travelling- Boston liruins of the National Hockey League. Bert Clark is now the cranberry king of Carver. Bert says that business is the ber- ries. Donald Fish has succeeded Donald Van Wart as the musical envoy of the Piano Warehous; ' Inc., l)Oston, Mass. Plorace Harlow is now emj loyed as pei ' sonal secretary to Ir. Charles Coni ' ad, of the Con- rad Cutie Cuto its Manufacturing Co.. manu- facturers of the hand ])ainted i)apei ' dolls, sold in book form. Ihid lendall has just been made the jun- ioi- |)artner of a local house painting concern. Harold Chase ' s Pant Pressing Emi)oi ' ium is doing a rushing business, and he is considering the ))ossibility of opening a haberdashery. Lawrence KePey is now .serving as mechanic to Wild Bill Cummings, holder of the sjK ' ed record at the Indianapolis S])eedway. Clifford (iraham ' s hotel is doing a thriving business. Rene Duphily, the world ' s leading- chef, is in charge of the menus, while Edmund Yaru.sites is working as singing waiter. Thus we find the local debutantes suffering from pal- pitations of the heai ' t caused by the i-omanlic croonings of this handsome young- lad. John Nye has recently been named head of the studio staff technicians of WXAC, a mend)er of the CBS chain. [25

MEMORIAL HIGH SCHOOL CLASS OF TIIIUTY-EKniT boon in tlio siiino t ' ;iiiiily but tlio opposito sox. Nolly (iiiniey ' s liigli school ambition has blos- somod out well. She now lives in a cozy cottag:e surrounded with roses and filled with blessings from heaven. ] rarion Hart, who was jiraduatod with us in ' . W, is now busily employed inakinj ' ' Jollo for her brother Butcher. Mary Hastino ' s, the best lookinj ' f ' irl in onr c ' ass, has been in her glory the pas t few years. She travels around the woi-ld tracking down Chick Webb and his famous band. After all these years wo still find Beatrice Hoard sitting by the radio. She isn ' t listening to Bing Crosby but a play-by-play description of a Major League ball game. We wonder why she studies baseball so diligently. Could it be that he is a home-run king? It ' s too bad that Dillinger has boon waylaid by the G-men because we know that if he was still haunting American citizens, I I:irgaret Hoiil- ihan, now a .secret service agent, would bo right on his trail. Avis Johnson climbed to the top, after start- ing as a Dutch girl. She is the proprietress of Dutchland Farms. Her food is so good that she takes a bite now and then horse ' f. l ridgewator Normal had a break when Teresa Kelly entered as a freshman. She astounded them by her technique and came through with high honors. She is at present a dignified mem- ber of the ] I.H.S. faculty, helping any teacher who needs assistance. Another Florence Nightingale has been dis- covered, and she was a member of the class of ' 38. This great nurse is none other than Grace Logan. When her patients seem a little discour- aged, ont comes her violin and away goes their pain. Mrs. Dean Jennings, the former Grace Bisboo, is now spending her spare time as private sec- retary to Carver ' s most prominent selectman. Perhaps the most pleasing personality in the Rockefeller research laboratory is Miss ] Iarth:i Shaw. She is at the present time very intent on her work. One would never gnoss that she is searching for a substance which, when put on bumpers and fenders, will not crush when brought forcibly in contact with such things as telogi-aph poles and hydrants and trees. a recent Harvard-Dartmouth track moot, Harris Sherman was high point man and fig- ured prominently in the winning of the meet. Sherman outran some of the fastest Harvard track-men and did his share towards bringing homo the honors to Dartmouth. Many say ho stands a very good chance as an Olympic pros- pect in the years to come. More power to yo i, Harris! Kaj ' mond Rogers, recent graduate of Noi-th- oastorn ( )llogo, is taking a few classes in old I I.H.S. as a part of his teacher ' s training. The High School faculty is highly pleased with Ray- mond ' s work and your Indian prophet has it that after a few more years of practical expei ' - ionce thoi ' o will be a position in Ray ' s Alma Mater for this young [)rom()ter of education. Wilfred Silvia of the Middleboro Silvias, Vin- cent Washburn, Rear Admiral of the Atlantic Fleet of the Cnitod States, and John J. Loary. leader of the number one swing band of the country, still nuniago now and then to got to- gether Thursday nights to sit up with sick friends as they put it. In reality they are car- rying on the spirit of their schooldav club, the T. N. P. C. Andrew M. Wood, LL.D., Ph.D., Loo Preti, A.B., and Joseph Cleveland, B.S., have jointly propounded an hypothesis concerning the fourtli dimension which has startled leading mathema- ticians of the day. These throe gentlemen mod- estly declare that it was a very easy bit of work. Robert Tribou is doing a rushing business at his now sawmill and lumber establishment. Bob .says he wishes that more i)eople of the town would use his wood to build their new .schools, instead of hiring out of town concerns who sup- posedly use metals. Williams Robbins and George Harriman, two of our huskier classmates, have secured employ- ment spearing waste paper on the Boston Com- mon. The boys are making good in an amazing way. Jolm daCosta and Ralph AVilbur are having groat luck with their truck farm. They have been carrying off all the prizes at local fairs for the excellent quality of their products. The Farmers ' Union has given them honoi-ablo men- tion in their pamphlet How to Bo A Farmer in Ton Easy Lessons. John and Joseph White, managers of the Punchbowl Emporium, Service while you Wait and Wait Restaurant, have taken two now soda-jorkors, namely Philip Westgate and George Purdon. Those boys have had little or no experience, but will have the chance to come up in the world. [27]
