CUSHING Vos, nostri amici, omnes salutamus, nos qui relicturi sumus altam scholam quae quattuor annos fuit nostra domus. Ut novellae aves ex nido evolandi avidae sunt sed timidae, ita sumus, Iaeti sed maesti quod hoc tuto loco nobis proficiscendum est, quo loco Optima pars vitae nostrae consumpta est. Ea, nocte hic convenistis ut videatis palmas datas et certamen amicum eloquentiae inter discipulas delectas audiatis. EX eo tempore cum Romani mundum rexerunt, magnae res artibus liberalissimis factae suntg ex eo tempore cum Cicero in Foro orationes habuit, novae terrae repertae, nova imperia sunt con- stituta de quibus numquam cogitavit. De his rebus mox audietis. Sint hae disputationes vobis iucundae. Vestra cordia bono animo erga vos compleantur. PREFACE We, the Class of 1913, have now reached an epoch in our lives. We have at last breasted the tape which marks the attain- ment of our desire. As We gaze back over that long course of four years, we realize the magnitude of our task, the fortitude and persistency which We must have possessed. Viewing it in a different light We recall the many good times that we have en- joyed, and the fact that We now possess priceless friendships and one prized jewel-an education. Thus, with a heart full of gratitude and with a keen appreciation of our attainment, we resolved to present some memento to our Alma Mater in recogni- tion of the many gifts which it has bestowed upon us. In accordance with this resolve, We, the Class of 1913, present this Annual as our memorial-dedicated to the undergraduates of M. H. S., who have necessarily shared our toils in the past, and Who, in the future, may value this as a reminder of M. H. S. and the'Class of 1913. We, the editors, being but mere mortals, find it necessary to apologize for all the mistakes in this volume. We extend our heartiest thanks to the advertisers and others who have aided in making this Annual a success. We, the Class of 1913, with the dedication of this memento, do hereby become alumni of M. H. S., ,and do advise the undergraduates to follow, as faithfully as We intend to do, this motto: f'EXcelsior. MR MR DR. MR MR MR D.R. MR MR MR DR. MR. MR. MR. Mr. MR.

DR DAVID GIBBS, SUPERINTENDENT Superintendent Gibbs Dr. David Gibbs, superintendent of the Meriden public schools, was born in Kingswood, New jersey, in 1870, and there received his grammar school education. After being graduated from the New Jersey State Normal School, in 1894, Dr. Gibbs entered Harvard University, Where he spent four years in the Scientific School and one year in the post-graduate department. In 1906 he received the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Clark University. Dr. Gibbs has, indeed, had a large experience in school work. He has acted as the head of district and grammar schoolsg held position of superintendent of schools in both Massachusetts and New York, and has had the distinction of being division superin- tendent in the Philippines. While in the islands our superin- tendent became the author of several text-books for the use of the Filipinos. Then, returning to this country, Dr. Gibbs be- came engaged in school work in New York, acting as head of the State Normal Training School, in Oswego. From the latter place he was called to Meriden, in August, 1911, and became our superintendent of schools. Within the short space of time in which Dr. Gibbs has been with us he has had a great interest in the Welfare of the com- munity at large. VVith pleasure we have especially noted his particular interest in the high school. WILLIS J. PROUTY, A. M., PRINCIPAL Principal Prouty lYillis james Prouty, A. M., principal of the Meriden High School, was born in Spencer, Massachusetts. Here he was reared and received an excellent schooling, graduating from the Spencer High School with the Class of l883. ln the following fall he entered the Freshman class of Tufts College. at Medford, Mas- sachusetts. At this college he pursued a regular academic course, and in 1887, graduated. During the same year he came to Meriden and accepted a position in the high school as teacher of mathe- matics and bookkeeping, and in 1887-8 he had charge of the even- ing school. Mr. Prouty's personal infiuence and ability as an educator soon secured him well-merited recognition, and in 1889 found him assistant principal of our school. Six years later Tufts College conferred upon him the degree of Master of Arts, and upon the resignation of Prof. Simeon T. Frost, in 1900, Mr. Prouty was given his appointment as principal. Besides the executive ability which Mr. Prouty has displayed in the management of the school, his qualincations in Latin and Mathe- matics have rendered his instruction in these branches most de- sirable. Fraternally he is connected with the Tufts chapter of Z. EV. l l ARTHUR F. WALLACE Mr. Wallace, who became the head of the Commercial de- partment near the beginning of the school year, is a graduate of the following schools: Gem City Business College, at Quincy, Illinois, Campbells Normal University, at Holton. Kansas and the International University, at Lebanon, Ohio. He has had wide experience in commercial work, having taught in several schools before coming to us from Worcester, Massachusetts. Besides his High School position he also fulfills the duties of writing instructor in the public schools, His twenty years' ex- perience with commercial work, including the ownership of a business college, renders him well fitted for his present position. 14 EDWARD L. lVlONTGOMERY, B.

But a few choice spirits aroused sentiment in its favor, and as a re- sult, we now have a representative debating society. Interscholastic debates were the feature of the year. On March 13th, a team composed of Buckley, '13, Highriter, '14, and Fenn, '13, was defeated in lVaterbury. On May 16th, Waterbury met defeat here at the hands of Buckley, '13, High- riter, '14, and Conroy, 'l4. This was the only debate won during the year. , On April 4th the triangular debate between Meriden, New Haven and Middletown was held. A cup, donated by Mrs. Alexander Troupe, of New Haven, was the incentive. In New Haven a team composed of Fenn, '13, Conklin, '13, Otis, '13, and Buckley, '13, was defeated. Against Middletown, Hyatt, '13, Cushing, '13, Hamilton, '14, and Highriter, '14, met defeat. OFFICERS President .,.... ...,....... I DAVID A. BUCKLEY, JR., '13 Vice-Pres1Tdenl.., ,,.... lVlICHAlCL J.

Its success is partly due to its supervisors, Miss Hitchcock and Miss McLean. Another important factor that helps toward its success is the earnestness of the membcrsg the fine attendance at the meetings. Recently the members of the association took a trip to New Haven to visit the museums. The expenses were for the most part defrayed by the treasury. Many cases of insects have been purchased by the society, and added to the school collection. Recently Harry Johnson, '13, a most enthusiastic member, presented the school with a fine collection which he, himself, had mounted.

'TIA 7m f 1 Great in council and great in war. Introducing our Class President, RAY- MoND FRANCIS HAGERTY. Great in the councils of our class and great in the conflicts of baseball and football. Hag has majored in baseball and football- for three years catcher on the former team, and then captain, and for two years tackle on the latter. Behold our handsomest boy! However, this picture does not quite bring out the real quality of his beauty, as he has just endured a trying year in athletics. Class Historian, Vice- president of the A. A. and a minstrel are a few more of his honors. He will study architecture at Cornell next year. In my Iivne I have played many parts. Allow us to present ALTON R. HYATT, valcdictorian, Hicks prize winner, mem- ber of 'lPennant and Annual Staffs, former president of A. A., football player and basketball captain. His dramatic ability has been often displayed in the past. Learned and WillCiamsDing to ever please, he is our most popular boy. His last dramatic appearance was with Sothern and Marlowe, in Romeo and Juliet, attired a la tin. Yale academic is his future destination. In all things jirst or not at all He took the lead 'whenever there was call. DAVID AUGUSTINE BUCKLEY, JR., is editor of this Annual, was cditor-in- chief of the Pennant, president of the debating society and leader of the only winning debating team, chairman of Pin Committee, and declared to have just missed a scholarship. 'lBuck is a member of many societies, and was one of the attractive maidens who appeared in the Societas plays. He will continue his studies at Yale academic. It is to bc doubted whether the high school ever had so much publicity as after the time when he began reporting its happenings, especially the Vllashington trip. 49 The glass nffashion. and Ihe mold ofform, The observed of all observers. EARLE ARNo1,n has been business manager of the Pennant, member of the Athenian Lit., actor in the Senior play, member of football team, and a few other things. During his course he took II prize for an essay on the subject, VVash- ington before the Revolution. He is quite beautiful and is noted for his un- failing good humor and ladylike ways. Pratt Institute is the next stop for our Class fusser. Sweet dignity and tenderness and grow. Who is this little sprite gazing at us so demurely? Why, so it is, it's MARGARET BARROXV, our Class infant and best-be- haved girl! Margaret rose to fame in her Senior year, and became one of the best- liked girls in thc class. They do say that Margaret, in addition to her other accomplishments, is quite a musician, and will pursue that career. She is one of the editors of the Annual, and a member of both the Reception and Flower Committees. . 4 . JW 1. Vg 032m -1 -V 4 wif. ' ' 2. '-:gh 'W- ,4 rf v, A r r- as 5, ,T , Though on pleasure she was henl, She had a frugal mind. In lVlINNIE BAUER we view the only girl who dared to make a motion in class meetings. Brave child! Minnie had a perfectly great time in New York, but for some unknown reason she was very anxious to get to New York. As she is a hard and consistent Commercial worker we expect to hear from her in the future. 50 Of manners gentle, of affections mild. Sweet child, isn't she? This is HELEN BECKLEY. Helen has been very in- dustrious. She was quite a factor in the plays presented in our Senior year. She stopped at Princeton on our return from Washington. Can CKenJ you guess Why? Helen will study domestic science later. Bal, oh, she dances such a way, N0 sun upon an Easier day Is lzaif so jine a rigid. Lightly tripping through her course, ALTHEA BEHRENS was never too busy for mischief. Althea is our most am- bitious girl, and as an actress shone in the part of Marie De Marque in the Senior play. Other plays also received her elfish presence. Althea. is on two commencement committees. Smith will welcome her in the fall. Amrabdzty zs lhe sunshine of the soul. V b in ,. I it- bk Our best-natured, most optimistic, and ' best all-round girl is AMY BENNETT. '- Amy has certainly succeeded in smiling ' her Way into the hearts of all. Amy , , comes from that wonderful place called A South Meriden, but it may be proud of j ' her. Amy made the Senior play, and 5 ,.,.' - speaks French fluently, as was shown in the French play. She displayed talent ig as an elocutionist at the junior Public. M Amy's favorite pastime is theatre-going. 4 She enjoys listening to Hichy Coofckj, '-' .9 especially at Poli's. Amy intends to 8 X I enter New Britain Normal in September. Q- , .:,, af If 51 Thy fair hair my heart e1zchai1zed. VIOLA BERGEN is one of our scholarly girls who has a deep influence upon all those with Whom shc comes in contact. She made a considerable furore when she appeared in VVhy not jim as the dashing Mrs. Gordon. Viola much pre- fers Butlerlsj to bell boys, we have dis- covered since the Washington trip. She intends to enter New Haven Normal school, since she has determined to he a teacher, in order to use the Cfohjane to better advantage. As chairman of the Flower Committee she surely learned enough about flowers to decorate her future desk. He trudged along, unknowing what he sought, And whistled as he went. WALTER BERRY may be said to have drifted through high school With only a mild application to work. His most ar- duous Work in school was the filling of an oHice in the Agassiz Association. It was thought that he was deathly afraid of girls, but poor Berry, he so far fell from this stand that he actually carried a pretty miss's coat during part of the Washington trip. Being a Commercialite he might have become quite a lady-killer if he had only started earlier in his course. Be wisely worldtyg Be not worldly wise. And so she is. MARION BINGHAM is a very steady and industrious girl, and as story editor on the Pennant proved a considerable success. Marion had a visitor down in Washington: ask her who it was and Watch her blush. She says she is undecided about her future, but we don't know-! 52 They 'who love the poets will never lack a friend. ELIZABETH PHELPS Bosweu. is a Wonderful poetess, and missed our Class job by one vote. Betty was voted our teacher's pet. Doesn't she look in- dulged? She had charge of the lunch- room, and some of her schemes were fine. Betty is chairman of our Class Night Committee. Smith next. A merry heart and a quick tongue are akin to pleasure. ANNA BOYLE is one of our merrymakers. Anna is in her glory in a study period, because she has the opportunity of writing her humorous epistles, which her friends are always eager to receive. Anna en- joys Buck ing against difficulties. She was a member of the Class Pin Committee, and of the Flower Committee. VVe have reason to believe that Anna's intentions are fully decided, but a natural hesitancy prevents from revealing them at this present date. A happy girl, eyes glad with smiles. Hark, here comes HAZEI. NAVARRE BUDDl Hazel was a prominent factor in the success of the lunchroom, and in all social activities. It is said that she often Pierfpontjs toward VVaterbury. A hard worker in studies, she deserves the stand- ing she has attained. She expects to enter Greenwich School for nurses. 53 t i g, rltl 55 if I ' if tviifa Piggy, ftailj, Piggy Clailj, where arl thou going? XVe always thought that ANNETTE BURBANK was one of our quiet girls, but we have recently found out that there are untold possibilities in her. Annette has a great deal of trouble keeping watch of her Clvlijkey. So now she has one which does not need much looking after, but is always on the spot. Although Billy is an old song, yet Annette thinks there is something fascinating in the name. New Haven Normal next. Witissf H ',..f we ..,.. , '41 Thinking is but an idle 'waslc of tlzouglit, And naught is everything and everything is izauglztf' NIARIE BURKE is one of our famous classmates. She has an unequaled facility for getting out of scrapes and into high graces. Nevertheless, she is a cautious creature, and believes in having packages duly CDooley7 registered before sending them to Washington. She isavaluable member of the Printing Committee. Her future intentions are undetermined. HI pray you let none of your people dislurb me. For four long years GRACE BURKE has peacefully pursued her studious course, saying little, but thinking much. ln fact, Grace has been judged as easy going, but in view of the results We feel this opinion to be erroneous. She recently pleased her classmates and her numerous friends by winning a Hicks prize. Grace will undoubtedly continue her success in a business career. 54 l 1 l 1 l 1 l l I l l l . 1 1 w i V 4- r Study lo be quiet. If this has been the motto of IRENIE BUTLER for the past four years she has certainly succeeded in carrying it out. Nevertheless, in spite of this quiet aspect, Irene has been known to form some real desperate resolutions, especially while in Wfashington. She has been a faith- ful and painstaking Commercial student, and will continue in that line. was 33 me 'fiifiiig d i a s - es- gg, -S-if If 1- ., .1 ' ' f -L Life is as tedious as o twice-told tale Vexiug the ear of a drowsy man. In his outlook on life JACOB CHERNIACK seems to be always bored. He seems to act as if he had seen it all before, and had no hope of relief from the deadly monotony of existence. Against some men the efforts of the worst villains come to naught, and it was because of the ap- preciation of his brilliant intellect and good sense that the efforts of his friends to make him Class pessimist failed. His worst fault has been the tendency to dis- pute every assertion made by the teachers. He will attempt to instruct the faculty at some scientific school. Of natures gifts thou iuayst with lilies boost, And with the half-blown rose. HELEN CHIQNEY was unanimously elected Class Beauty. She also received credit for being the most-admired and most-jollied girl. She is chairman of the Presentation Committee. 'lEv'e1' and 'Ev'ermore is her favorite song. She heartily enjoys walks in the sun's bright Rays Helen, too, is quite an actress. Like Madame Bernhardt, she favors French plays, especially that one which contains the expression, If love were the only thing. Helen says her future in- tentions are undetermined, but we have our doubts. 55 Por she can turn her hand to anything, A nd whatever she touches, 'tis embellished. For this reason the Class voted HELEN CLARK its most versatile girl. She does a lot of cmbellishing, especially in Virgil. She is exceedingly matter-of-fact, and has not the least hesitancy in telling you that Durham is the best place in the United States. Her intentions are to pursue domestic science at the new High School it vii I .X vi His very foot hath music in it A5 he cometh up the stairs. Note the pompadour that betokens the musician! However, JAMES VINCENT CONKLIN, besides the pompadour, possesses other musical characteristics. Jimmie is very popular, especially about the last dance. He directed the minstrels and composed a special song, Down in Alabamf' for the occasion. He was president of the Agassiz Association, a debater, and chairman ot the Printing Committee. Jimmie will pursue his studies in music. And since I never dare to draw As funny as I might. Hi, there, JAMEs CONLONQ come here, you mighty football captain of 1912! Jim- mie played halfbaek for two years before he became captain. His worst task was as chairman, collecting the deficit of the Junior Prom. Jimmie is a star minstrel, and always keeps the crowd in a roar. His cuts and cartoons in the Pennant during the past year proved his worth as an artist. He was Voted Class wit, Class artist and best-natured man, and should have been voted Class hiker.

Cush also held the treasurer- ships of Soeietas Scholae and the A. A., and proved a good debater. His special Held, however, is acting. He sure did shine as a wife in the S. S. play, last year. Morg was also in the junior and Senior plays. Tennis and trying to skee are his hobbies in athletics. Class dictionary, nerviest boy and chairman of the Census Committee are a few more of his titles. Yale is his next stop. A A sifnzplc P71fZ'idC7l 1311. her flrrwer, Bchznd whose bmw lurks wzszlonfs bowerf' MARY DONX'I.INl'9 is our high-standing girl, who thinks it folly to make a miss. Mary is a great help to all in dilliculties. Mary won a scholarship, and was thus voted our most scholarly girl. She was associate editor of both the Pennant and Annual. She was also chairman of the Motto Committee, and has held the office of adviser for the Girl's Debat- ing Society. Mary was so fond of Vllash- ington that she will probable enter Trinity College in September. 57 Of nzaking many books than IS 710 1 1111 And much study is a wcfariness of the flash So JULIET Doisnnieo thinks Not that she is averse to picking up L book once in a while, but like many of our well known scholars, she believes th It the proper study of mankind is min follow the course of learninff Iuhet pr LC tises on a cousin in New Yoik other remarked trait of heis is L fondness for practical jokes.

NIILDRICD FR.xNC1s is a scholarship girl, Senior play girl, and as a certain person adds, some girl. She has served on the Pennant staff and has had the ex- ceedingly strenuons position of Class secretary. She is quite a bewitehing maiden, yet in her many roles she has not portrayed a 'lHag. She aims high at CHyattJ the drama. As to her future occupation, one of her friends has been quoted as saying, Oh, Mildred has had several offers. just what was meant by this ambiguous statement we leave you to judge. So on Ihc tip of his subdmfng tongue, All kinds of argzuzzenifs and qzwslimzs deep. Such a man is EDWARD BORRELL FENN, a very deep debater. Woman Suffrage is his favorite topic. He was defeated on the negative side, and then on the aliirmative side. They do say that Ned is some Writer. He was a very prolific story-writer for the Pen- nant, as story editor, and is also an Annual editor. He was one of the few who slept during the Wasliiiigtoii trip. Fcnn recently priced some run- ning-shoes, for the girls are after him because of that pig-tail story. He is a prominent member of the various societies, and also a hard worker for the school. Yale next. For what he never did he is most loved. MOSES GOSIAN is perhaps the quietest member of our class. However, hc has the distinction of having completed suffi- cient studies in three years to graduate with us. VVC are sure he is not the cause of our Principal's losing sleep on the top floor of Hotel Cochran. He will com- plete his education at Tufts. 58 , As merry as the day is long. Behold, here is another one of our popular girls, ARLINE GEBHARD. Arline can giggle most any time of the day, still, she is a busy maiden. She made a charming appearance as Miss Edna Fraser in Why not Jim in 1912. She was assistant editor-in-chief of the Pen- nant and an associate editor of the Annual. She aimed Hy-att perfection in her duty as cheer leader. Arline can tell you all future happenings, therefore she was elected one of our Class Prophets. She is also on the Reception Committee. Arline is another one of our girls who will enter New Haven Normal in September. I ue often 'wmlzzd that I had Llaar, For life, six lumdred pounds a year. This is YVILLIAM H.-XSIIURKE, our Class treasurer. No one will ever know the cares that oppressed him while the money for the VVashington trip was being col- lected. He watched the reports from the lunchroom with a vigilance that no watch-dog of the treasury could surpass. During the lllashington trip Bill bc- came reckless, at one time putting all he had on the Derby. He is a member of the Athenian Lit. and the Solid Class, and will go to 'l'rinity. Some of his business-experience was acquired on the Pcnnant. There was a giant of old. And he grew somewhat shorter as the years advanced, and became GEORGE CLIFFORD PIIEINRICII. Heinie took on a new lease of life in his junior year, as ad. manager of the Pennant His success caused his classmates to elect him business manager of the Annual. He is a leader of several orchestras, and was affiliated with the M. H. S. Orchestra. Some people, when talking about Heinie, speak about a Smith at the same time. How about it, George? His next stop is business college. 59 l UI am sure Care is an enemy io Life. Here she be! lNrII1.DREDl'IILL,OL1I'l1H.Dpy- go-lucky, care-free girl. On this account Mildred was voted our laziest girl. Mildred is a member of that well- known chemistry class where distressing accidents happcng where cake is dough and biscuits are- How about that little tribunal game in the Hotel Cochran, Mildred? Her future intentions are as yet unknown. Come lefs lo rlimzerf , Come, lel's to dz11ncr! HAROI,D SPINK Howmzn, our Class grind, Class pessimist and biggest cater is also the modest possessor of a Hicks Prize medal and a scholarship. As a footballist he was rated high until in- juries laid him low. Howdy majors in tennis, golf and Bostoning. He was in the Senior play as Bishop Lowell , and was interlocutor of the minstrels. HoWdy's latest pun is this: On june 5th, Mr. Prouty upbraided the girls -referring to the pig-tail incident. Nobody knows where he is going, be- cause he is now going to no less than four places. In peace lhere's nothing so becomes a woman As modest stzllness and lzumilzlyf' In fact, M. GERTRUDE HUBBARD has been almost too quiet. Yet, Hstill waters run deep , and Gertrude showed this by winning a Hicks Prize. She will possibly continue in a business career, and will surely bear with her the best Wishes of her classmates. The fact that she has completed her course in three years shows that May Gertrude is some student. 60 1 Laugh and the world laughs will: you. 4 HELEN HURLEY has provided a great deal of amusement for her classmates by her Hts CFitzJ of laughter. For this reason she was voted Class giggler, noisiest girl, and man-hater. Later the class felt as though they had made a grave mistake by voting Nellie man- hater. She is indcfatigable in amusing invalids. She is also patriotic in her love for the Flagg. Her future in- tentions are yet undetermined, yet her classmates think that perhaps Smith's will have some influence in her affairs. Bees, on flowers alighling, cease their hum. Of course, the reason is that HARRY JOHNSON is on hand to add them to his collection. He is quite a naturalist, having made insects his special study. He has been on the Pennant staff, and an officer in the Agassiz Association. When not following his favorite pastime he is working on an L. C. Smith type- writer in order to maintain the remark- able speed that placed him third in the thirty-minute state competition. From his sleepy appearance one would think he never slept, but Worked all the time. The truth is he works while he sleeps. Thy 'voice is as lllc voice of the warms. Now, eloesn't she look jolly? This is JENNY KENNEDY. She has a very fine and powerful voice. jenny has had the lunchroom under her charge during the afternoon session. jenny had a fine time in Vlfashington. Thcre's a reason l She even stayed over in that city after the rest of us had left. Ask her what shc is going to do next year! 61 Deep brown. eyes, l'll1I111il1g owr will: glee, Bonme brown eyes are tlze eyes for mc. In the opinion of not a few, the quota- tion aptly applies to ELIZABETH O'NE1L. It has long been a question whether the sun's Rays had anything to do with their gleam. Bessie has been an earnest student, no matter How ard uous the toil. She took part in the Senior play, and is the proud possessor of a Hicks prize. She was also voted our best- drcssed girl. She will continue her school life at the Academy of the Holy Cross, Dumbarton, Washington, D. C. With valleys of ctemal bubble. Talk, talk, talk! that's BEss1E LANE the whole day long, but it cannot be idle talk, because, for two years Bessie has honorably fulfilled the ollice of vice- president. WVe can hardly say she is an expert on parliamentary law, but she is right there in getting the ayes. She is one of our Class historians, and was also associate editor on the Pennant, She is the fond admirer of nobility, especially of Earls New Haven Normal is Bessie's next destination. lily langue wztlzm my lips I rem, For who talks much murl lalk in train. No one better appreciates the value of speech than EDXVARD FRANCIS NIALLOY, and when he speaks let no dog bark, for what he says is worth hearing. His classmates voted him best-behaved boy, which is quite true-we are not so sure of his also being a woman-hater. He is a scholarship Winner, which illustrates that actions speak louder than words. Ted held two other honors-treasurer of the A. A., and chairman of the Photo- graph Committee. Penna. next. 62 The uniform 'e wore Wes uoihiug much before, Au' rather less than 'arf 0' llzczt behind. Rudyard Kipling must have been thinking of PAUL JOHN lVlCGOVERN in a baseball uniform when he wrote those lines. Mae is one of the big factors in the class. He made four hits in his career. Twice hc appeared before the footlights as a butler, in the Junior and Senior plays, rcspectivelyg the other two hits were made in baseball games in which he had to play to H11 out the nine. Mae was elected baseball manager, chairman of the Reception Committee, noisiest boy, and one to give the Class will. University of Penna. next. Y I cemzol check my girlzfsh blush. So sayeth GEORGE EDWARD OEFINGER, one of the few Senior Commercial boys. Dutch, as he is called, as the organizer of the Seltzer Brigade was an important factor in the peace of our sleep at Wlash- ington. However, his wonderful good behavior while in Meriden excuses him. George always has a smiling face to greet you, and no doubt he will make a success of whatever branch of work he adopts. Bid me zliswzzrse, I 'will enrlzzml thine ear. ISRAEL SAHINIQ Uris is too modest to say anything for himself, so we will mere- ly call attention to the fact that he is Class orator. He took part in the Senior play, where his rendition of a serving- man .suggested greater talent. He is a prominent member of the school debating society, and was one of the speakers against New Haven. He is fascinating to the ladies, although not fascinated by them. 63 M l'Voul1i flmu f11II6CII 601111151 fell what ihou dos! know. Ah, here is lXIx'uTL1z l'A1.1n15R.

He has been a great athlete, rising from the position of player to football manager. ln this capacity he made a report that will serve as a model for future managers. He also started the unusual precedent of turning baek some money to the treasury at the end of the season. He has a minstrel reputation, took part in the Senior play, and is said to be a bowler. . Early lo had and early to rise - Mrlkcs an 11141.11 llcaltlzy, weulllzy and wwe. CLARHNCI-: L. STRETCH gets up early, works hard, and arrives at school wide awake.

GLADYS TAYLOR has for the past four years been fond of going up the hill in a dignified manner after the last gun is Bred. She scored a success as Mrs, Compton in the Senior play. Gladys, for some unknown reason, has CHessj an apathy for a course in Domestic Science at the new high school. Good luck! By the Way, Gladys blushes beautifully.

She is exceedingly generous, and as to boxes of candy, her companions at VVash- ington can well testify to her merits. She will continue at Normal School. 65 :ea X On, Stazzley, Ou! Somewhere back in his youth, STANLEY XVATERMAN found the command which he has followed as his motto since. He will step clown to New Haven for a four- year academic course at Yale, after finishing his course here. After finishing that course he will consult the oracle that has directed his steps as to what to do next. During his high school career he has become somewhat of a cynic, but this is clue to the fact that he has never had to study. In addition to his other qualities he is quite a musician. A happy heart -makes a blooming visczgfzf' This is our Class poetess, FLo1uzNcE WILLIAMS, usually known as Flossy. Hasn't she a blooming visage? It is through her charming Ways and winning smiles that Flossy has won for herself the titles of most popular girl and Class fusseress. She took the part of Ethel Durand in Mrs, Compton's Manager and showed she was in Hytattfsj esteem for her clever acting. Yet Flossy says her favorite play is The Rivals. Flossy has a great knack of Flaggfingj cars. She was president of the Girl's Debating Society, and was a member of the Presentation Committee. will attend Normal School in IH Flossy the fall. A cfmlious and a careful maid as one could 'wzsh to see. ELLEN WOODING has been one of our diligent Commercial students. Even at Washington Ellen did not lose that sedate manner that she carries with so much charm, but in spite of her quiet bearing she is always ready for a good time. She will undoubtedlytake up -clerical work. 66 Who rests ruslsf' BESSIE R. MILLER: This is the first time that many of the Seniors have the oppor- tunity to gaze upon the Visage of Bessie. She has been such an indefatigable Worker that her Work has hidden her as effectually as if she were enclosed in a bushel basket. We are not in any man- ner sycophantizing when we give this motto to Bessie. Rather are we under- rating her. Office-work seems to be her future sphere. We wish you good luck and your merited reward, Bessie. 1-..1-.-1-i-ii-u-1- But lo, the conquest higher than bard e'er sung. Very glad to meet you, Miss HELEN SHEEHY-known to her intimate friends as Nellie. They do say that Nellie is the original Gibson girl. One of the liveliest factors of the Washington trip was this same maiden with the vivacious eyes. An enthusiastic Cornmereialite, Nellie has done considerable Work to keep her division in the limelight. Her work in the lunehroom was especially appreciated. A little bird whispered in our ear that Nellie was going to be a charming nurse, but we don't know. Despatch is the soul of business. FLORENCE ZUCKER has been a Com- mercialite. She has been exceedingly clever in hiding her talents from her classmates, but lately she revealed them by winning a Hicks prize. To this liter- ary ability is also added a fine facility in music. Florence will continue her commercial work. 67 ,.

PART ONE BESSIE LANE Behold the Class of 1913! just as peoples and tribes, through all history, have im- migrated to other countries to settle their conditions, so we im- migrated hither to better our lives, and to attain, if possible, success. ' lVorn out by the hazardous battles and the intense mental struggles of four long years, we have at last stepped on the top rung of the ladder of success. In 1909 we started out one hundred and eighty strong, but many have fallen by the wayside, and to- night our ranks number fifty-eight. Our Chief, Captain Alton Hyatt, alias Bob, valedictorian. most versatile, most popular, most admired, Class Athlete, best all-round, and teacher's pet, has certainly proved himself an able leader, and to him alone belongs the honor of acquiring all these titles. Only one battle he lost, and he lost it by only one vote! Class Fusser. His favorite flower is Sweet VVilliam. ' lVe were wholly ignorant of the land into which we sailed on that great ship Diploma, a land practically unknown to us, except for the few stories in circulation about the vast stores of knowledge guarded within that brick fort. We were from two branches of the great race, the East and West grammarians, but four years of hard strife have welded us into one strong nation Hghting in a common cause, for we have had many battles Cwe didn't always win, but are none the worse for that tonightj. YVe were lured to the Hiskull Territory by the wonderful tales and exploits of the graduates. And alas! when we entered this land we expected to do very little, and to have every afternoon off. Such are the idle dreams of childhood. However, we anchored our boat in Catlin Harbor and set foot upon this foreign ground. 72 The first settlement was made in the central part of Hiskull Territory, named Room Two, or the Freshmen Colony. The Government, as you may know, thought we were a barbarous sort of people, something on the plan of Indians. Well, maybe we were, who knows? Each individual was allotted a plot of land about three feet square, on which stood a desk and chair. Two proprietors were stationed in this colony to keep order, The climate of this land varied considerablyg sometimes it was very cool, but most of the time it was extremely hotffor some of us. As a class we progressed wonderfully, and inside of one year we had been transferred by the Government to a larger colony, Sophomoreshire. Two small territories adjoin it, called East- woods, and WVestwoods, where those who didn't progress so rapidly were detained. In these colonies many of our tribe started in business. V The Earl of Arnoldsdale started in the tailor CTaylorj business, and was progressing- nicely when his CI-Iessj rival cut him out, He has started many businesses since then, that is why he was voted Class Fusser. At present he is tending his dale QHinsdalej. Another year and we had conquered the Junior territory, but not until we had struggled through many difficult sham Cexamj battles. Here began the campaign for the Senior territory and here began the social development. Sir Harold Howard, the famous Junior-Senior social dancer. He is a scholarship-winner and is our Class Grind. Harold says he likes the book, A'Lady Betty, 'bout as well QBoswellj as any. He was also Number 15 in Romeo and Juliet. By September, 1912, we were Seniors, the highest and most civilized tribe in the land, although some of the governors and proprietors, especially the high sheriff, think we are as yet un- civilized. As we have progressed along different lines, the footlights throw a light upon our Class Actress, Lady Florence Williams. She was a member of the pig-tail regiment which caused so much excitement in the territory. She is also Class Poetess and Fusseress. She aimed high at QHyattj perfection and at- tained it. A few of our tribe have taken up the study of planets. Sir john Looby, the most famous astronomist in Hiskull land, has discovered a new star in South Meriden. He says every night he saw her CSawyerj. 73 Another South Meridenite is Harry Johnson, the only botanist in the tribe. He has collected many rare specimens of flowers, especially the budding kind CBuddej. Our Class is very cute as a whole, they say, and one of the cutest is Myrtle Palmer. She has furnished the Senior girls with delicious candy every intermission. She has named it Carl's Delight. VVe are wondering who he is. Behold the silver-tongued orator, Sabine Otis! He can up- hold an argument with great force, and will soon become a famous lawyer. He will try the case of Arnold's treason Tuesday even- ing. Sir Edward Fenn- Oh wad some power the giftie gi'e us To see oursel's as 1thers see us. Many times has our mighty linguist given us this power by his frequent write-ups in the papers concerning our private affairs, especially about our pig-tail regiment. He is a famous English scholar, and has often startled the Class by his Hirrefragable, incontrovertible colloquyf' Another of our great speeehmakers is David Buckley. He has been editor-in-chief of the Pennant and Annual He is our most ambitious boy and may some day become a great statesman. His favorite play is The Return of Peter Grim. Miss Mildred Francis is one of our popular girls of high stand- ing in the tribe, having won a scholarship. She is also an actress of ability, having taken part in many of our plays. One of our quiet business girls is Minnie Bauer. But how- ever busy she is, she always has a date on CDaytonj. Miss Florence Zucker had the good fortune to win a Hicks prize. She is one of the busy Commercialites, as is also Miss Ellen Wooding. Both Helen and Florence were members of the midnight parties in Washington. Miss Grace Burke, another business student, wrote one of the winning essays. She was a member of the lunch-room squad, and sold the cones. Miss Mary Dowling, our most scholarly girl. She also won a scholarship. Mary has changed wonderfully of late, and has received many passes for the extra session from the high sheriif. Has any one here seen a canary bird flying around the city? 74 Miss Mildred Hill had a nice little canary named Dick, but it seems she didn't feed it right, or give it the proper attention, and it flew away. She says it How in the direction of Bridgeport. Never mind, Mill, one Dick in Meriden is worth two in Bridge- port. Next is Miss Nellie Sheehy, another Commercialite. While in Washington she was caught many times in the heavy showers, but it happened that a Ray of sunshine was always with her. Her favorite song is Good-night, Nurse. Miss Margaret Barrow, our Class Infant and best-behaved girl. Margaret has never attended the extra session. Her favorite play is The Return of Peter Grim. Miss Anna Boyle has been very much interested in the manufacture of theme paper ever since she found an address in a package of it. She spends her vacations at the Beach, pre- ferring to wade near fWadenerj the shore. One of our quietest girls is Miss Marion Bingham. She is a famous cook, as many of her experiments in chemistry have proven. Let me introduce Miss May Gertrude Hubbard, a Hicks prize winner. She is a Commercial student, and finished the course in three years. Miss Irene Butler, another Commercialite. She is somewhat of an actress, as was proven at the Senior Play try-out. Next is Miss Jennie Kennedy. Isn't she cute? Jennie gave a midnight lunch to the girls in VVashington. Jennie has found out that the cab men charge according to weight in Washington. Miss Juliet Dondero, a jolly Commercialite, is very fond of speeding in an auto, especially the Pulver car. In our midst we have an artist, Sir James of Canlonsdale. He is a famous minstrel man, best-naturcd and Class VVit. Jim spent so much time studying the Grecian architecture of the Naugatuek High School steps, that he made poor trolley con- nections, and was forced to walk from Milldale home. He was a member of the cast in Romeo and Juliet. Jimmy is specially partial to South Meriden scenery, and makes frequent trips to that locality. He generally goes there in the evening, for he likes the moonlight scenes. IVe can always tell when he has been there for the next day he generally stam- 75 mers through his recitations something like this: Anda, Ansea, Anna! VVe need a new Hiskull land very much, for many things are lacking in the present one. For instance, the means of com- munication are about the least developed of all. One cannot possibly communicate with even his neighbor without risking a writ for the extra session. Very often one can see small pieces of paper go flying through the air. This is the aeroplane express, the only quick means of sending notes to personal friends. I will cite an instance of the poor internal communication. One day, in English, the class was told to write the name of a certain poem. Now there was a certain group of neighbors, consisting of our Class Optimist, best-all-round and best-natured girl, Amy Bennett, who acted the part of a maid in the Senior Play so Well, and who bids fair to rival Raymond Hitchcock. Amy knew the name of this poem was the jolly Bcggcrsf' But Marie Burke, Anna Boyle and Helen Hurley hadn't the least idea what that poem was called. Neither had Sir Peter Sklagen, one of our athletes. But, nevertheless, they passed in their papers and all thought they would get 100. The next day the teacher read out the following: Miss Burke, 'johnny Bcggarsg' Miss Boyle, 'jolly Beggarsg' Miss Hurley, 'Jolly Pickersg' and Sir Peter, 'juicy Pieklesf YVhile speaking of internal communication, I might say a few words concerning external communication. Miss Helen Cheney, our Class Beauty and most jollied girl, is very fond of titles, and prefers an Earl. Helen is a famous literature scholar and on account of her ability along this line, the symbol of literature-the ivy-was bestowed upon her by one of her classmates. I believe it was an Earl, too! Of course that was treason, for can a person who bestows such a symbol upon anyone-can he reap part of the consequences? This is still an open question. During our four years' stay in this brick fort, we have made many expeditions, the largest of which was to Vlfashington. While We were there our time was taken up in explorations. One night at 12 o'clock, a secret march was made by eight rebels of the Sixth Floor regiment. Amned with scltzer bottles and hard- boiled eggs, they made an assault on Room 218. Prom the noise and din of battle it must have been a terrible encounter. A 76 black spy informed President Prouty, who was asleep on' the third floor, of the nightraider's attack and he immediately hastened to the scene of actiong but it must have been a complete victory, for, to the president's amazement, everything was peaceful and happy snorcs were wafted through the keyhole. Sunday evening, General Montgomery ordered the tribe to be ready at 1:30 for a sail to Mt. Vernon. And everyone was ready at 1:30, even if some had to take a part of their lunch with them. VVe sailed down the Potomac and went through the home of VVashington. The scenery here was almost unrivaled in picturcsqueness and beauty. On Tuesday We journeyed to Annapolis, where we saw the cadets drilling, and went through the academy. Another day we went up the VVashington Monument. Only a few walked up for it takes fully fifteen minutes to ascend. A splendid View of the city was had from the top of the monument. One of the tribe said he could even sec Castle Craig. ni I now introduce to you our Class President, Raymond Hagerty. Ray is handsomest boy, and isn't he bashful? You wouldn't think so if you saw him going up the Washiiigton Monument. She, he QShcehyj and the elevator went up, the elevator making the ascent in seven minutes, the rest in 30 minutes. tBut then, they loitered on the way.j That's a high monument, they must rememberg Ha, Ray? Ray was Number 10 in Romeo and Juliet, and made a striking appearance in his red costume. He is very much interested in New London, so if hc wanders at all from his subject, you will know he is thinking of a certain grave, in :L certain secluded spot, in a certain hamlet. A Ray is our Class Historian, and will further relate of the wonderful deeds of this still more Wonderful tribe. V 77 .g..-..g...-.,- .zur : -:sz I -.::.::::: : Ig: : : ....:..3..-:..g. 4. .g.

PART TWVO RAYMOND HAGERT Y Continuing our history, which has been so well begun, I will Hrst turn my attention to the Government of the territory. The Government consists of President Prouty, Vice-president Montgomery and well-selected proprietors. A proprietor has charge of a colony, While shcriffs guard the study-rooms. Sen- tinels are stationed along the avenues and highways, to keep order, and to make reports concerning conduct, which reports have often proved disastrous to the afternoon expectations of the tribe. A police system was in force in the library colony, which is situated next to the executive offices. The police make un- expected visits to the library colony to catch the tribe neglecting its work. Stringent measures were adopted by the central authorities to uphold the rights of the proprietors and sentinels. Those measures consisted of slips, which meant supplementary sessions, occupying one-and-a-quarter hours in the afternoon, under the supervision of a policeman. Admission slips to the extra session in Hiskull Territory are more easily obtained than are admission slips to the extra session of Congress, in VVashington. The Reign of Terror was in the third and fourth period of development. Banishments to the executive olhce from these periods were frequent, and members of the tribe were sometimes summoned before the court and exiled from the territory for a period of five days. The tribe which occupied this territory before us had, in its last year of supremacy, made a large expedition to Wasliington. Numerous explorations were made, and abundant knowledge was gained. Our tribe made plans for a more extensive and elaborate expedition, to be carried out during the latter part of its last year. For this a large amount of money was needed, and the tribe 78 started a campaign for Washington funds during its third year. At the beginning of the fourth year the funds of the tribe increased so much that the need of a suitable treasury made it- self evident. President Prouty acted in the capacity of a bank. V ice-president Montgomery as a collector, and Treasurer William Hasburg as clerk. And it was due to their successful efforts that the tribe was financially able to explore Washington. The sources of the funds were the lunchroom, conducted by the Busy Bees, or the girls of the tribe, and patronizcd by the rest of the tribe and the members of neighboring tribes. Cake sales were also conducted by the Busy Bees throughout the year, and the male section of the tribe took part in a minstrel show that was a financial success. The neighboring friendly tribes helped by attending social gatherings held in the Territorial Assembly Hall. The last and greatest financial undertaking was the Senior Play, Mrs Comp- ton's Manager, under the direct supervision of Sir Edward Montgomery. Every member of the tribe contributed to the financial success by disposing of ten dollars' worth of tickets. The girls acted as ushers, and made candy which they sold to the audience between the acts. Altogether, over six hundred dollars was cleared by the tribe on its Senior Play. On April 26th, having accumulated the necessary funds, by work and personal contribution, the entire tribe, accompanied by the president and vice-president of the territory, and several other chapcrons, left on the 7:24 train, en route for Washington. They arrived at their destination about 6:00 o'clock, and im- mediately made camp at the Hotel Cochran. About four days were spent visiting the most important and interesting places in Washington. The members of the tribe, through the kind efforts of Mr. Reilly, a congressman from their territory, were able to shake hands with Woodrow Wilson, President of the United States, and also to attend a night session of Congress. Mr. Reilly further entertained them by taking them to a theatre, and afterwards to refreshments at the Ebbit House, of Civil War fame. VVhile at YVashington the members of the tribe participated in many amusing incidents. About a dozen female members are known to have been routed by a colored porter when holding their midnight parade. The roughhouses carried on by the boys were exciting and amusing to behold from a distance. Close inspection often proved disastrous. 79 George Oefinger, a silent Commereialite, showed unmistak- able signs of being a violent roughhouser in VVE1Sl1l11glLOI1. An elevator full of seltzer bottles went down from the sixth floor every morning, under his special care. Watch him try to hide the smile that won't come off. William Walsh, elected our laziest boy, also showed excep- tional ability as a midnight prowler in Vlfashington, and he can fully explain the disappearances of Lewis' shoes, and the keys to the various rooms. VVillie's favorite time of day is Noone. Goshian proved to be the quiestest member of the tribe on the top floor. He joined the tribe in our Senior year, and since his arrival has proven himself an energetic worker. He excelled in German. Hazel Budd, elected our ncrviest and most inquisitive girl, is a Commercialite, and has special interests in New Britain. Hazel is fond of music, especially that of the organ. Peter Sklagen, of football fame, and elected our most jollied boy, caused considerable excitement in Washington when he asked for an extra teaspoon, and then proceeded with his dessert a la linger-bowl. Pete was a successful football manager, hand- ing in one of the best reports of recent years. Miss Viola Bergen, one of the members of the Busy Bees, was a strong candidate for Class Giggler. She has been recently interested in music, her favorite song being, 'tMy Brother Sylvest. Next in line is William Hasburg, who made a strong run for most jollied and most ambitious boy. Bill is something of a tutor, having a few private pupils out of school, and many in school. During Billis four years of diligent study he has written down and preserved enough notes and rules to fill a half-dozen good sized dictionaries. He is an excellent gcometrician, and expects to follow civil engineering in Trinity. Listen, for next is our Class Giggler, Nellie Hurley. And she well deserves her title. Many times has she startled the Fresh- men with her far-reaching giggle, much to the displeasure of the proprietors. Nellie was also elected our man-hater, but why, no one seems to know. Recent reports from reliable sources indicate that Nellie does not hate all man, and thinks just the opposite about a few. Nellie was a member of the Busy Bees. Now we come to Edward Malloy, chairman of the Printing committee. Ted is very quiet in school, and never has frequented S0 the extra session. He was elected Class woman-hater, but still waters run deep, and many wonder where his Class pin is, and why he wears a Chicopee Falls High School class pinj Ted was chairman of the A. A. in his Junior year, and assistant manager of the baseball team in his Senior year. He also won a scholarship. Now for some noise! Here comes Paul McGovern, our noisiest boy by a big majority. Paul was manager and right fielder of the baseball team, and is better known as Connie Mack. Connie first donned a baseball suit in Middletown, and after the game, because of a poor fit, he took off both shoes and stockings and paraded up Main Street in his bare feet, almost causing a panic among the citizens of the quiet town. His next stop is University of Pennsylvania. Paul is a composer of part of the will, so prepare for a good one. Arline Gebhard is the girl with the smile. She was a good second in the race of nerviest girl and Class Giggler. Arline made a strong fight for Class Fusseress, losing by one vote. Helen Beckley, a member of our Commercial department, has been interested in newspapers for a long time, especially the Waterbury paper. She is ex-treasurer of the Girls' A. A., and a diligent worker of the Busy Bees. f 4 Here is Marie Burke, a strong contestant for laziest girl, although of late she has ceased to yawn and Stretch. Marie likes rubber-soled shoes, especially the kind that can be bought in Washington. Clarence Stretch is next in line, Clarence is a very ambitious boy, although most of the ambition is used outside of school. He spends much time playing on the mandolin. Behold Wilbur Lewis, a member of the football squad for three years, and author of the book, Glomming l He formerly lived in the country and was interested in Hills and dales, but lately has turned his attention to music, his favorite song being Sweet Marie. And here is Althea Behrens, elected our most ambitious girl-and she is ambitious. Althea is concerned in methods of locomotion, her favorite vehicle being hacks QHaxD. Althea was a member of the Senior Play cast. Now Helen Clark, our most versatile girl. Helen was a member of the Busy Bees, and is an expert in domestic arts and sciences. Durham is her next stop. 81 Here is Stanley Waterman. Stanley is an exceptionally good piano player and spends most of his time in New Haven. We wonder what the attraction is. Here we have Walter Berry. Walter is a member of the Commercial class. His favorite pastime is throwing paper. Walt will continue work in the business world. g Miss Elizabeth Boswell, better known as Betty, is an ardent baseball fan. She intends to make a stay of four years at Smith. Here we have Miss Gladys Taylor. Hurrah Cher Rayj for Gladys! She was a member of the Senior Play, and acted as chaperone on one occasion at Washington. Let me introduce Annette Burbank, a strong rooter for the Freshmen. Annette's favorite color is red. Next we have Elizabeth O'Neil, our best-dressed girlg she is also interested in art. She was a member of the Senior Play cast and was initiated in Washington. Bessie is a supporter of the new dances, the Harold glide preferred. Here we have George Heinrich, celebrated in German. George made a reputation at catching eggs in Washington. He was responsible for the loss of Buckley's Howers, and the dis- appearance of all the pillows on the sixth floor, in Washington. Next we have jacob Cherniack. jacob has developed into a very good chemist, forming some reactions that have caused considerable excitement in the laboratory. Next is james Conklin, our Class musician. He is interested in arithmetic, especially when he is called upon to add QAdD. Next we have Miss Elizabeth Lane, better known as Bessie Bessie gained quite a reputation as a detective in Washington, she discovered many startling things, or she thought she did. Bessie has been vice-president of the Class for two years, and if we hadn't compromised I could tell you much more about her. Now, after four years of life well spent in the territory, the tribe will again set sail on the good ship Diploma for shores unknown. But whatever shores and whatever circumstances, the tribe feels able and ,competent to succeed, thanks to the successful efforts of the proprietors and sentinels. 82 9.1 o egos i- iv'-V-i'i 1Tf-1-f.-W-i-iff.

MCGOVERN VVe, the Class of 1913, having stumbled along for four tedious years, have come to that stage when our end is near and, as we have always had the jinx of '13 with us, have thought it best to bequeath our property, real and imaginary, by will, in order to avert all lawsuits which might arise if no will were made. To Superintendent Gibbs we leave the sole right of prevent- ing all modern dances at the socials. To Principal Prouty wc leave the right of sending the Senior girls home whenever they get up too late to arrange their hair in the latest style. To the faculty we leave the right to patrol the aisles in thc new high school, in order to sec that no mischievous girl or boy attempts to carve his initials on the new seats. To Mr. Kane we leave the right of lingering in the lunch- room, a right which Mr. Prouty has denied us. We, the Class of 1913, make our individual bequcaths as follows: I, Ever-pleasant Boswell, leave the enjoyment which I had in collecting the money for Class night music, to the girl in the junior Class who is so favored by Mr. Goodale. 1, Awfully-talkative Boyle, leave my knack of slipping out of the chemistry class on experiment day without being seen, to Margaret Mahon. 1, Hardly-romantic Cheney, leave my good looks to Anna Sokol, and my jumping-jack ways to Marion Schofield. 1, just-listcn-to-me-make-a-noise Cherniack, bequeath my grouchy ways to Clinker Lewis. 1, jubilant-but-bashful Conklin, bequeath my talent for music, which was so much enjoyed at the socials, to Harold Grimes. S8 I, Eager-for-business Fenn, leave my ability to create a com- motion in the English class, to next year's pessimist. I, Rattling-good-fellow Hagerty, make the following be- quests: to Norris Flagg I leave my fondness for out-of-town girls Qbut with this warning, that when the football team goes to New London, to keep out of the cemeteriesj. To F. Harold Grimes I leave my good looks, and my ability to conduct a Class meeting to Sam O'Brien. I, Gee-right-in-the-eye Heinrich, leave my ability to stop henfruit in its career through the air to the fellow on next year's trip to Washington who has not the sanction of Room 218. I, Awfully-mysterious Gebhard, bequeath my ability to bluff through my lessons to Gordon Orr. I, Busy-as-a-bee Always-on-the-run Lane, leave my ability to make candy for next year's Senior Play, to Ruth I-Iiggins. I, Effusive-magnetic O'Neil, for reasons best known to my- self, leave this request to Mr. Montgomery: Please have all Senior Play rehearsals in the evening. I, Ever-eager-for-a-skirt Arnold, do solemnly leave this warn- ing for young couples who will go walking: Never to sit in a poison ivy bed, as the results are disastrous. I, Hopeful-and-good-natured Clark, give my sunny smile to Helen Danaher. I, Vivacious Bergen, leave my knowledge of how to be every- body's friend to Marion Murry. I, Dare-to-tell-all-I-know Buckley, leave my ability to tell tales out of Washington, to next ycar's reporter. I, So-careful-of-myself Otis, leave my honor of playing the part of a burglar to whomever may be called upon to do so. I, Studious-and-remote VVaterman, leave my good behaviour as an example for Clinker Lewis. I, Most-jovial Bauer, leave my fondness for outside boys to Ethel Coit. I, Get-there-by-all-means Burke, bequeath my ability to write an essay to Peerless Burkinshaw. I, Isn't-E-feeh-cute Butler, leave my kittenish ways to Beulah Fairchild. I, Must-make-good Hubbard, leave my ability to graduate in three years to john Randall. S9 I, Ever-many Wooding,- leave myself as an example for a modern suffragette. I, Hurry-go-get-that-fly johnson, leave my ability to catch bugs to the school nurse. I-would-Worry Berry leaves this Warning to the juniors Cthey may need it on their trip to VVashingtonj: Pull in your ears when you come to the tube. I, Ever-a-good-fellow Malloy, leave my desire to get far away from the chattering girls, to Peerless Burkinshaw. I, P. Buller Sklagen, bequeath my favorite song to Norris Flagg: I make the green grass grow all around, I, Hurry-some-show-me-that-fanciful-glide Howard, leave my fancy steps to Wayne Miller, and my far-reaching nerve to Harold Kingsley. ll l , b:o:iu:onzn:.-mn: :z zz 1 1 1: 1- ::- zz- L- 1- L- Quzuzxxixsiniuzngaoze 'E' .?

PART TWO HELEN CHENEY VVe, thc Class of 1913, being Calthough it has been doubtedj of sound mind, though impaired bodily health, do declare this our last will and testament. VVe give, devise and bequeath all that property which is ours Qand much which isn'tj as follows: To the Freshmen girls, the privilege of staying the same age until they are Seniors, in order that the Freshmen boys may have a better chance of catching up with them. To the Sophomores, a new dictionary as we are sure Rogers, Hiller, Lyon and Hill have almost worn the old one out, and we leave, too, our innocent desire to know why this sudden seeking for knowledge. To the Juniors we leave that long-hoped for and desired privilege of being the first graduating class in the new high school. To our Superintendent, David VV. Gibbs, a position on the National Board of Censorship, trusting that he may H11 that position as eapably as he has shown it in his power to do. To Principal Willis J. Prouty, a far-seeing eye, in order that he may locate all his lost, strayed or stolen pupils, especially during circus time. To Mr. Montgomery, a new pad of deportment slips, that he may be saved the worry and trouble of making out those unique little individual ones which he seems to prefer. VVe hereby make the following individual bequests: I, Modest-ever-blushing Barrow, leave the cause for my many blushes, my interest in Boston Tech., to whosoever may be interested to know how 1 keep my lovely color. WV e, Always-in-demand-much-sought-after Behrens and Mighty-keen Bingham, leave our two-thirds interest in any kind of vehicles, such as Hax, etc., to Claire Pallett, hoping that with her one-third, we may form a company. 91 I, Much-beloved Francis, leave my talent for amateur theatricals to Anna Sokol, with full instructions as to how to play the wedding march on the Victrola so that it may be heard above the howls of the bridal pair. I, just-smile Kennedy, leave my faculty for looking like the latest fashion-plate and my ever present expression, What's the news? to Helen Danahcr. I, Most-businesslikc Cushing, leave my daily repast of dictionary a la carte, to Ethel Molloy and all that which helps me in my manly bearings CBehrensj to Regester. I, VVeary jocular VValsh, leave the startling information which it has been in my power to impart in all history classes, to Edward McCarthy, also my quiet, restful air. XVe are sure that McCarthy needs a rest cure. I, Amiable jolly Bennett, leave the small-sized sheet called a handkerchief which Mr. Prouty was so kind as to lend me in time of need, to the new high school, for others who are caught in' such straits. I, Perfectly-awful-jollier McGovern, with my usual amount of nerve and stubbornness, refuse to leave anything which belongs to me, or has at any time been in my possession, except the in- formation that all is not gold that glitters. CNote-It might be hairj I, Horrors-here-comes-another Hurley, quite contrary to my reputation as man-hater Cwhich, by the Way, was a mistakcj, leave to Allan Smith a large supply of candy kisses, all my I should worry jokes, and my cute little acrobatic stunt which is the only one in captivity, trusting that they will amuse him as much in the future as they have in the past. I, Always-Reddy-for-action Hyatt, do give and bequeath the following: lst. My natural love for such scenes as those of the third act in the Senior Play, to Neil Berkinshaw. 2nd, My own especial privilege of strolling about the build- ing, to Milton Hiller. 3rd. My interest in Freshmen girls, acquired during the time when I so capably filled the position of teacher, I leave to VVayne Miller. Of course, it's a short walk from Kensington Avenue to IVilcox, but-- 92 4th, And last, but by no means least, my expression, Please elucidate, might prove of value to some of the teachers. I, Always Maidenly Burbank, leave my eager, attentive look, which might mean I know the answer to that question, but which really means F or goodness sake, don't call on me, to Raymond Gralton. ' I, Much-hurried-by-others Dowling, hate to give up that speed which has been such a trial to my friends, but will, on second thought, relinquish it fully and freely to Helen Stannis. I, Flippant Joker Williams, give and bequeath the following: lst. That acting in which Casthe journal so truthfully announced? 'tMiss Wlilliams was found at her best and most natural phases, to Sam O'Brien, hoping that it may help him out in other situations similar to those in which he found himself in the playlet, After the Game. 2nd. My laughing, good-natured disposition to Margery Hinsdale, although we are sure Midge has no need of another supply of optimism. I, Gentle-voiced-graceful Taylor, leave my exhilarating morning slide, which sometimes terminated in the Senior room, sometimes in the office for a tardy slip, to Esther Homan. I, My-but-I'm-noisy Palmer, leave my ernormous capacity for selling tickets, to Ray VVarden. CTake it and profit, IfVatts.j I, Happy-hearted Beckley, leave my quiet, demure appear- ance, together with my mischievous spirit, to Margaret Mahon, and to anyone interested in Clock towns, I leave a clock to tick away from Saturday to Saturday the long, weary hours. I, Wfilling-to-work Hasberg, leave that willingness which has been tested thoroughly and proved by the other Senior fellows, to Benjamin Bissell. I, Cute-little Stretch, give my awfully independent Way which I. Cherniack and I have shared in English class, and my fascinating smile, to jack McDonnell. I, Mercy-but-I'm-meek Gosian, leave my ardent love for the high school and all the cares it involves, to Beulah Fairchild. I, Mischievous-undaunted Hill, leave: lst. My fascinating little drawl to Ella Stohr. Qnd. My experience with both soft and hard-boiled eggs, to Miss Hitchcockis chemistry class, trusting that they may be able to determine the difference. Q3 3rd. My favorite song: I Got a Pain in My Sawdustf' to the fellow in the junior class who plays with dolls. CPlease don't blush! The rest don't know who you are.Q 4th. My motto: Comus shows purity , to Miss Fisher- dick. We are sure she has never been so enlightened before, I, Horribly-noisy Budd, leaveimy interest in every Newman in town, to Midge Illingworth. I, jostling-rushing Dondero, leave all my impromptu wit- ticisms, to Dorothy Lane. I, Faultless-studious Zucker, leave my strict attention to business, to Ethel Coit. . I, Wild-about-the-girls Lewis, leave my supply of informa- tion, questions, etc., with which I delayed many a recitation, to Kelly. r 94 Class Day Friday Evening, June the Twentieth At the Auditorium Song, Ciribiribin . . .

OTIS After spending the past few years in preparing for our life's calling, we, as a class and individually, are now about to start upon our future careers, in which we are to make our own way, self reliant. In the words of Patrick Henry, 'We must look to the lamp of experience in the past for our future guidance. ln the volumes of history we find that the greatest statesmen and foremost citizens of the world have risen to their eminence amongst their fellow-men, mainly through their energy, their ability to do work, their great ambition. It has been through keen competition, through the capacity of some to forge ahead of others, that this world has grown to the state of development in which it is at the present day, and that higher ideals have been realized. To attain prosperity and happiness is a worthy ambition. Success in life is not to be found strewn in our paths, neither is it to be showered upon us by onlookers. We must work, and work with steadiness, honesty and sincerity, to reach any position of responsibility. Samuel johnson writes: He that embarks on the voyage of life will always wish to advance rather by the simple impulse of the wind than the strokes of the oar, and many founder in their passage while they are waiting for the gale. In the daily routine of life we will always find that in order to be of any use, in order to contribute our share of the world's work, we must adopt some system, some plan in accordance with which we will utilize our efforts. Difficulties may arise- they surely will-perplexing questions and circumstances may confront us. How are we to meet them? Here our knowledge of the past must be our guide, and as generations before us have done, we must steadily and carefully climb the hill of Success. In View of the position in which we now are, we must look 96 to some guiding light, as the Shepherds of Bethlehem did to that star which led them to their goal. Hence, the Class of 1913 have taken, collectively and individually, the inspiration of their motto, Excelsior - Higher still. We have adopted this motto as a class, and each one for himself. With the graduating of our class we are to be separated, perhaps never to come together again as a whole, for some of our number will follow pursuits in one direction and some in another, to be determined during our future years. Let us from now on endeavor to make our lives what God intended them to be. Let us use all our strength, ambition and energy to rise to higher altitudes, and rather than linger with hopes of approaching assistance, let us ascend the mountain of Fame with our motto-- Excelsior -as a Watehword, i i 97 .g..:..g.,:.,: :,:.:.:.: : : : : 2:2 ...:.: : :.:..:..g..:..g. .5 .g.

HYATT Already, even, during the course of our lives we have all doubtless met with some problems, however small, four years ago, upon entering high school, we, as Freshmen, were confronted with many new diflicultiesg and now again, having successfully overcome the obstacles of our school life, we stand face to face with problems which are of still more vital interest to our careers. Up to this time we have had our school board, our teachers, and our parents to guide and advise us, but as the years go by we shall be left more and more to our own resources. Thanks to our teachers and friends, we are able to go out into this world Without fear or trembling, and to face the new conditions which we must of a certainty meet, but we can not have received in four years the necessary knowledge and equipment for a lifetime. It is still necessary, therefore, to prepare ourselves for life and to prepare for our place in the home and for service as citizens. But how to do it? This is the difficult proposition which is presented to us, classmates, upon our graduation, this is what thousands of other graduates are pondering over, and it is only with the greatest of perseverance and carefulness that we shall be able to proceed very far without stumbling. Some of us, in truth, intend to pursue our studies at higher institutions of learning. This is an excellant opportunity to continue the work already begun and to fit ourselves further for life. Still others, perhaps, will very soon start on life's hard journey of work. These truly will be like a small ship tossed upon the rough seas, a ship which struggles and labors, but at last comes safely, let us hope, to port, either of itself, or from some friendly assistance. But at this parting of the ways, we cannot think of ourselves alone, our thoughts naturally turn to those who are still to be within the shelter of the school we are leaving. Our best advice 98 to you is to prize the opportunity you have While it is still yours. No regrets can ever come from work faithfully done. Many are the disappointments from the neglect of opportunities. May you early realize this and may you reap the highest possible benefits which the school years may oHer you. However we may wander, classmates, or whatever courses We follow, may we always cherish the thought of our dear M. H. S., the grand old school, the school that has done vastly more for us than we can now realize. And last, but most important of all, let us forever keep alive the memory of those who have assisted us through our course. It is certain that our teachers have played the greatest part in our sueeessg that our principal and superintendent have given us their most faithful attention, and that our school board, and the town they represent, have provided us privileges for which the service of future lives should express our thanks. r . To our school board, our superintendent, and principal, our teachers, our schoolmates, and to one another, We as a class bid farewell.
