VVe have succeeded in publishing it without the aid of either President, Wilso11 or the Big Five and we feel justly proud of the fact. Old and gray alumni, as well as members of more recently grad- uated classes, will no doubt notice many changes in this year's book, But, mark ye all, the Class ot' 1919 makes no apologies for these changes. Year after year, The Annual has ever been the same. Recently we picked out at random two volumes from a number of Annuals. A glance through them discovered just the same features, the same general plan, although the two books were published by classes graduating five years apart. An inspection of all the Annuals published between these two volumes found them to be similar in all but a few details. A triend of the editor remarked to him while he was working on this book, VVell, you put. about the same things in The Annual as they had the ye.tr before, don't you? The editor was about to rise up in righteous wrath when he realized that this was indeed so. And his resolve that the 1919 Annual should be original be- came even stronger. So readers of The Annual will find many changes and many in- novations this year. We hope that it will be of 1no1'e interest, to the underclassmen, too. The Annual was getting into a rut, and the Class of 1919 stall' resolved to get it out of the rut for one year at least. As stated before, we do not apologize for these changes. VVe he- lieve that they are for the better. If there are persons who ditl'er in opinitn. and dislike to see such changes. thet may X rife l-- tn- League ot' Nations about it. At any rate, it is requested that they do not bother the editorg he has had enough trials and troubles, not to mention tribulations, with this publication. He, more than anyone else, realizes its faults and shortcomings. And so the Class of 1919 commends this twenty-eighth volume of The Annual to an expectant list of subscribers. With the hope that they will not be too harsh in their judgment and that they will pay for their copy promptly and by cash, we remind them that de- spite errors, despite fauts, this book was moved to creation through the spirit, the inspiration and the pleasant memories of M. H. S.

While this motto aptly applies to our class president, Bob Doran, be it said that he did enough during his senior year to more than make up for other years of quietness. Bob led the class of 1919 through a busy year and showed wise leadership. When for a time the class wanted to visit Washington on about three dol- lars apiece, he wisely opposed the idea.

Joyce has always had a super- abundance of school spirit, which which may account for her great popularity. A glance at her achieve- ments will indicate all that she has done and her versatility. She man- aged the girls' basketball team, was a soloist in the 1918 and 1919 Min- strels, and also in Princess Chrys- anthen1um. She dipped into dra- matics in her junior year and has held so many offices that there isn't room here to mention them all. No- body can Rob Joyce of her good nature.

On the other hand, she has proved her- self to be a great comfort and bless- ing to all, for every time that any one found herself in a tight place, Jen was always ready to do all in her power to help. Jennie has also played basketball and played it as if she meant it. In fact, she is a nne example of all-around good school spirit.

Johnny Purcell, leading financier of M. H. S. John always had mon- ey, even if it wasn't his. He was chairman of the council finance com- mittee and treasurer of the senior class and the 1919 D. S. All of which proves that he must have been an expert bookkeeper to keep his various funds separate. Johnny did quite a little debating during his senior year and then went and grad- uated fou1'th in the class just to iinish things up right.

Did you ever hear a deep bass voice booming around the halls of M. H. S. some afternoon? If you did it's a safe bet that it was Deb Meinke. He is always singing, which fact may only serve to bear out the practice makes perfect theory, for Deb has entertained a good deal with his voice. He made a hit in the minstrels and as a solo- ist in the Octet, and whenever he was announced in chapel, everyone knew that some good singing was coming. Deb has that pleasing little habit of shaking a fellow by the hand and returning that member as a crushed and boneless pulp. His strength came in handy when he played guard on the football team in 1917, and had he not broken his leg there is no telling what he might have done the next year. Deb was class orator.

We are, indeed, happy to welcome you, our parents, who have rdone more than all others, perhaps, to give us the privileges we have enjoyed, and who have even, it may be, made great sacrifices that we might be members of this class and gain a high school ed- ucation, so essential in these days as a foundation upon which we may build useful lives. To you, honored teachers, principal, superintendent and mem- bers of the school board, we extend a hearty Welcome.

Now I to Julius Caesar Apologies extend, And introduce my classmates To make a fitting end. Ladies and Gentlemen: lt is with the greatest of pleasure that I int1'oduce to you on this most distinguished and memorable occasion. the world famous order of Learned Knight Errantry locally known as the Class of 1919, which, for four long years, has ravaged savagely this institution of learning for knowledgeeknowledge, I say. This order of Learned Knight Errantry is composed of all types of characters which I do not think it necessary to enumerate. Though by not any means harmful to the community, it can con- trive Conspiracies that would make all detective agencies bow their heads in shame. The first member of this worthy band that I will introduce is our president, Robert Doran. Being a bashful chap, 'tBob kept him- self securely concealed from his classmates during his first three years at school, but as a shining senior all traces of bashfulness have vanished. Now he looms before us not as a Hermit secluded with his books but as a prominent member of the class climbing am- hltion's ladder to success. Bob has served us not only in the capacity of class president but also as manager of the Senior Play, Iiobina in Search of a Husband, manager of football team, and, also as an aid on the Annual staff. Bob never re-Joyced as much as he did the day his class showed common sense enough to veto the XVashington trip. Before you next stands Mildred Taylor. She has taken the busi- ness course and has shown her ability as a commercialite by the re- 63 markable work she has done at Dr, Gibbs' office. Before long .we expect to see Milly in a responsible business position for wlnch ner diligence has prepared her. Behold our Class Poet, Jolin Hynes. John has been one of the most faithful workers on both the Pennant and Annual staffs. Lately he has shown us what he can do in the line of acting too, for he took the clever part of Sheriff in the Senior Play. It seems quite strange to his classmates that John is not attending the Peace Conference after some of the line debates he has given us in some of our class meetings. VVe begin to think that John took advantage of the opportunities afforded for debating in class meet- ings. He was one of those who helped defeat Middletown in the In. terscholastic Debate. For lessons in How to raise money in seven weeks, I refer you to Mr. John Hynes. Alice Weislede1'. It's too bad we haven't more floor space or l would have Alice dance for us. Dancing is one of Alice's weak- nesses. Whenever there's a dance in Meriden or sometimes in Yalesville Alice is sure t.o be there. She has taken the Normal School Course and for the last four or tive months has had to spend many of her afternoons teaching in the grade schools. Many of Alice's friends think that she may still change her mind about school teaching and give dancing lessons instead. Alice must have devoted some time to study for she is one of our high honor students, John Purcell, Stand way up Johng we want every one to see you. John has been one of our most conscientious seekers of knowledge and to compensate his diligent work, John is one of our high honor scholars. The class extends its sympathies to John when he shoulders his real gun at Military Drill. John is an actor of no mean ability, having played the part of bell boy very cleverly in the Senior Play. He has shown us what he can do in the line of debating, too, having taken part in the Interscholastic Debate with Middletown. John also had the honor of being class Treas- urer this year. Lucille Cantwell, you stop that giggling. You know Lucy has a patented squeak or giggle which she makes special use of dur- ing the fourth period typewriting class. Nothing can make Lucy feel blue, not even a rainy day. Lucy has regarded her High school career not as a grind but as a pleasure. Her famous motto is: Why worry? Worry will kill a cat. Good luck to you in your future enterprises, Lucy. Behold the great Emperor What-for-VVhi, Hermand Orefice. Her- mand made his theatrical debut in the Japanese Operetta given by the College Club. Hermand has been a very generous contributor to the Pennant and also to his own personal chambers of knowi- edge. VVe feel sure that Hermand will make a success of all his undertakings. Grace 'Nortonz Make your nice bow, Grace. Grace had the hon- or of being our Vice-President during our Junior year, This year as chairman of Class Day COIl1lllltl.69, Grace is largely responsible for the details of to-night's program. For a while Grace was greatly interested in WVallingford but now we begin to wonder what the great attraction is in Yalesville. Grace's definition of a good time is, attendance at as many dances as possible. William Stockburger now commands our attention. Bill has worked rather hard during his stay at Meriden High and during his leisure hours has turned out many a testament and warranty deed at the Probate Oflices. I am introducing to you Miss Grace Madden, a very meek t?J and gentle child. Grace has never been known to be on time as 64 yet, that is when she makes appointments with her girl chums, and they often wonder if she does the same with the other sex. During her last year Grace entertained the members of 105 by reading the notices in her highly dramatical fashion. Many of Grace's friends wonder why she visits Hartford so frequently, but don't worry Grace, I won't tell. Louise Scheffer. Louise has never taken an active part in the social affairs of the school, for, as rumors go, most of her time has been taken up by out of town socials. Louise gave herself away one day by stating that she had had a most wonderful time at a Polish dance the night before. In spite of her out of town social activities she is loyal to her Alma Mater. Lydia Barnikow is one of our quiet, good natured girls and is well known for the blush which arises when she is spoken to. Lydia has won so many certificates in her typewriting course that we wo11- der if she has enough room for them at hO11l6. Here is Anna Bechtold. Anna has never let her studies trouble her very much, for in the early part of April when bookkeeping was taking up too much of her time she decided to drop it. When Anna was not up at school after one o'clock busy with her tongue she was down at Attorney Wilder's office busy typing letters at the rate of five miles an hour. Introducing our champion Winker, Isabel Gibson. Isabel has never taken a large part in social activities at school but neverthe- less, she's never at a loss for a dancing partner. Isabel's chief point of interest is Bridgeport alld every one was wondering who her partner was at the prom. Claire DuPlessis has the reputation of being the quietest girl in the class. Claire rarely talks and when she does, Oh! in such a sweet little voice. Helena Broderick and Julia Sullivan. It would not be fair to these two classmates if I had introduced them separately, for dur- ing their stay at Meriden High they have been inseparable com- panions. Helen's pet expression is I-Iave You Seen 'Jule?' and Jule's Have you seen Helen? They are both noted members of Miss Scanlon's third period shorthand class and from all indica- tions, both will make better dictators than they will stenographers. Behold another quiet maid, Mabel Lange. Mabel is not only very quiet but has the reputation of being quite a grind. Many times when her classmates thought the teacher had forgotten to announce the assignment for the next day, Mabel would give them a grand surprise party by raising her hand one minute before the bell rang and piping out in her soft sweet voice, What's the home work for to-morrow? Mabel is a Hicks Prize Essay winner and is graduating with highest honor. NVe now come to one of our class songsters, Caroline Sweeney. Caroline has a very sweet voice, which has been heard to good advantage in the minstrels. She also sang in the choir. She is not only one of our attractive girls but an all-around good sport. Caroline was one of the fortunate students to have been in the fourth period typewriting class, where she never uttered a sound. We now turn to Agnes Walsh, one who doesn't say much, and so has all the more time to do things and set a good example of in- dustry. For the past few months Agnes has spent 1nost of her af- ternoons visiting Church Street School, where she played as teach- er for an hour or so. Among the studious commercialites of our class is Ida Israel, who has quietly and diligently applied herself to her school work. Ida is a sensible girl, and never hangs around school after one o'clocla. 65 One of our best liked girls is Zoe Bishop, for she is always ready to enjoy a joke even if it be on herself. Many are of the opinion that Zoe is very quiet. but Oh! My! I wonder. Here is Helen Connell, a pleasing commercialite. During her senior year Helen took great pleasure in assisting Mr. Poutasse to find students to fill positions in offices. She can take dictation at the rate of 400 words a minute and has typewriting certificates to burn. Helen's definition of a party was talking to all the boys in shorthand period when Miss Scanlon wasn't looking. Next comes our most lively girl, Ida Sport. Ida startled the members of 105 during her Senior year by walking in every moTn- ing with a new bright-colored sweater. Her favorite trick was in- terrupting meetings with her penetrating laugh and voicing her opinions without addressing the chair. Every one will tell you, if asked, that Ida is some Sport. Next comes our Secretary, Jennie Mett. Jen is an all around good sport and is liked by all her classmates and teachers because ol' her very pleasant disposition. Jen had the honor of being president of the Junior College Club in her senior year. She in- tends to enter the School of Physical Education next fall and we wish her the greatest of success. I take great pleasure in presenting Elizabeth Lake Olmsted. She is Miss Pease's right hand man, a noted accompanist a11d our sec- ond edition of Paderewski. She occupies the piano stool Monday mornings in chapel. Betty was responsible for the melodious t?j response the choir rendered one l11Ol'l1ll1g when she gave a minor chord instead of a major. Betty's chief delight during the past year was to attend orchestra rehearsals at night and great credit is due her for the splendid manner in which she played the musical numbers in the operetta, We wonder why Betty intends to take a musical course at Cornell. Now we come to the L. C. A. Association. The L. C. A. consists of seven youngish men. It was formed with the idea of avenging all crooked deeds performed by the student body and the rest of the 38,000 inhabitants of Meriden. To date, it has seven important members, including prominent members of the Meriden Institution of Learning.

The president, Hartnett, says: The L. C. A. could keep a secret if six of them were dead. Scolelield will always tell you You can kid gloves but you can't kid me. Currier in Military Drill says: Give me liberty or give me trumps. Hafner, the silent partner, just says, I don't talk much. The oflicial poem of this association is: 'tNobody knows but the L. C. A.

At least this' seems to be the case with our classmate, Anna Barry, who is always ready to join in whenever there's a good time. Anna is another one of those who taught reading to the children in the grades. Minnie Gordon. Minnie is one of our girls who has caused her teachers little trouble. She is a hard working commercialite and is sure to be rewarded for her industrious course in High School. Next comes none other than 'Thomas Burkinshaw, who has made himself famous at High school. Tom is one of our best all-around sports, being strong for school spirit and an athletic enthusiast. Tom was manager of our baseball team for two years and a first lieutena.nt in Company A in 1918. Another popular boy is Jack Brown. Jack was a member of the 1919 Debating society, Octet, choir, Props and Paints, and the Sax- ophone Foui- in the Minstrels and was circulation manager of The Pennant. Jack showed us his ability as an actor this year, having taken the clever part of the English dude, Horace Greenleaf, in the Senior play. During his senior year, Jack was captain of Com- pany C. Joseph Nerrow. Joe has the reputation of being quite a debaterg in factfsome debater. He took part in the interscholastic de- bates with Waterbury and Middletown and was president of the 1919 Debating society, showing great ability in filling this office. I-Ie was also an active member of the Pennant and Annual staffs. Edna Lingner is next in line. Edna has been such a conscien- tious student that she has spent but little time in revealing her identity to her fellow students. Even though she never utters a sound until addressed. Edna surprised many of us at times by the store of information she possessed. Edna was one of the few who could furnish dates and facts in connection with American history. Annie Simpson. Annie is a fine proof of the saying, Good things co111e in small packages. She was a chorus girl in the Japanese operetta., was in the minstrels, belonged to the 1919 Debating so- ciety and was a prominent member of the Library club. Here, last but not least in our esteem, cutting an imposing fig- ure. is 1ny co-partner in crime, Paul Barbour. Paul mussed up many a play directed against our team when he played right tackle. As chairman of the Banquet committee he gave us some feast. Patil was a valuable member of the Pennant staff and let off a little surplus steam by writing t'The Critic in that paper. l-Ie is a member of the 'tAnnual staff and was one of those who put the society in the 1919 Debating Society. Paul wears his hair parted directly in the middle, occasionally falls asleep in class, and can shimmie, and-well, I'll stop. Besides working at Barker S: lf'innegan's, Paul advertises the Hrm by displaying some loud neck- wear. Paul pays daily visits to the Edison Shop-no attraction of course? Knowing full well that this accumulation of fact, fiction, and romance will be preserved in the annals of this institution, I, on be- half of my class, beseech all underclassmen of future generations and all aspirants to authorship to read carefully and conscientiously this manuscript, to note with minute detail the superficial and su- perfluous ideas of the class of 1919, and in climbing Al1lbltlOll,S Ladder, to follow in our footsteps. 67 PART II. By Paul Barbour. Friends, you do not know what great pleasure it gives me to be here before you this evening, but it also grieves mefgrieves me deeply, for upon me rests the great task of continuing the exposure of my fellow classmates in all their crimes and dark-dyed villainy, So, as with Pagllacci, so with me, On with the play. Miss Joyce L. Barnes, our Vice-President, heads the list of not- ables. In all school activities and societies, including everything from basketball to Red Cross, she was sure to be either a promi- nent member or a successful leader. Joyce is rather old Greek in tastes, inclining towards the Dorian. She also has the faculty for entertaining even if she must stay from school to do so, 'thereby furnishing our faculty with material for a chapel lecture on What One Shouldn't Do. But don't you care, Joyce, he was a nice chap. Catherine Wheele1', Hicks Prize winner and actress, graduated with honor, besides taking part in most of the school activities. Cath has somewhat of an agricultural turn, for if she continues her present course she may become a Gardner. Dorothy Lawton, President of Props and Paints, was another actress starring in the class play, Dot is a clever basketball play- er, and has the honor of being the only girl who has ever been end man in the minstrels, and Oh Boy! How she can Jazz. She thinks Wesleyaii pretty nice at times. Alabama Right now, for it's going to take a long time to tell of Russell L. Carpenter. Starting in as a Freshman, Bus has led all school activities,,been an interscholastic debater, committee man, councilman, class President, cadet oflicer, operetta comedian, mem- ber of Octet and choir, football player, Editor-in-chief of both the Pennant and Annual, and That ain't all, for when the question arose in Cadet Corps as to whether we should have or campaign hats, it was Lieutenant Carpenter who the campaign hats, as he wanted a Stetson. Clarence Franklin, a sergeant of the Cadet Corps of the Class Gift Committee, has so quietly carried overseas caps stood out for and chairman on his course along technical lines that it was absolutely impossible to find any- thing of his past. Carleton Ellis was nominated for the A. B. C., Absolute Bache- lors Club, but, sad to relate, East Berlin news has leaked out and Herc is hereby black-balled forever. Herc has pursued his course In preparation for Storrs College, always brightening the way with a-late-joke. Robert Lee now commands our attention, here and anywhere, not because of noise, but who wou1dn't look at such a handsome au- burn haired youth? Outside interests have taken nearly all of Bob's extra time, but still he has rlitted with most of them. Adelbert Meinke, our big man and class orator, is a soloist of 1'e- nown, and a fine but unfortunate football player. Deb is of the Octet and Choir and has Wesleyan in view. NVilliam Ost is another lad of outside interests, but he has found suflicient time to play center on the basketball team. Er+for example, of a class midget, we present Philip 'White lkky has been rather busy with the educational department of the school in a vain, earnest search for the reason of his high marks. 1-Ie has also been a member of the 1919 Debating Society, Permit me, ladies and gentlemen, to introduce Mr. James Stretch-actor, football player, and all-around village cut-up. He will later entertain you with part of the Class W'ill. Since the G8 A + Senior Play Jim has changed his emotional expressions, his favor- ite now being Oh, Shaw! Melvin Pocahontas Kane. Yes, that's he, Class comedian, min- strel end-man, committeeman and football, basketball and baseball player. Babe was one of the most ardent exponents of beautiful W'ashington. But, never mind, Babe, you had the right idea. Robert Rice, a sergeant of the Cadet, corps, has been one of the quietest of quiet, but still it's impossible to nominate him for the A. B. C. Bob is President of the Agassiz Association and will en- ter Storrs. Another talented actress is VVilua Dessureau, who made a de- cided hit during her Junior year in Mice and Men. Billie made a very attractive Japanese in the operetta, is a member of the Li- brary Club, and graduates with honor. Now we come to Genevieve Donovan, who is basketball player, member of the choir and of the banquet committee. Say, Gen, tell us something: What, why, or who is it in Bridgeport? Katherine Shaw, captain and star player of the girls' basketball team, was the stunning sister of Lord Rathbone in the Senior Play. Kath was also prominently connected with the Library Club, Pen- nant and Annual. We fear Kath has been keeping rather late hours by the way she Stretches, Very bad form, Kath, very bad. We bow with respect to Helen Schuerer, our brainiest girl and valedictorian. Helen took a character part cleverly in the class play, and spent all other time in deep and profound study. Our Salutatorian is Alice Boehringer. Alice is a worker of those three famous literary organizations, Library Club, Pennant, and the Annual, of which she is our Art Edito1'. A proficient talker is Sarah Boornazian, Hicks Prize winner, co- Editor of the Art Department of the Annual and an honor student. Sarah has been with us only since her Junior year, so we have had little time to learn of her secrets. One more of those Hicks Prize winners is Emily Hotchkiss. Emily is of the choir and must have thought much of our class, the most wonderful of all classes, as she waited to graduate with us. Margaret Butler has sung in the minstrels, been one of the Do- mestic Science Trio who won the state prizes, and a member of the Debating society of the Class. You really couldn't expect more of her since the acquirement of that new Chummy Roadster. Mabel Messner is our only South Meridenite and as she spends a great deal of her time down in the village we have been unable to learn much of her, except that she has a beautiful blush and be- longed to the debating society. Edward Fay has been so absolutely quiet, reticent and perfect that I could find nothing derogatory in his past, present or future. Marion Morris, shark, of course graduated with honor. Marion is president of the Home Economics Club and has prepared for Storrs. Our Class souvenir collector is Evelyn Johnson. Evelyn certainly does know how to write entertaining letters to the soldiers from all reports, She was one of the Domestic Demonstrators who brought great honor to our school in that line. Once more we bow, to honor Angela Dawson, a most ambitious and successful student who has completed a four year course in only three years. Angela is a true believer of the proverb, Chil- dren should be seen and not heard. Grace Church is a girl who has found time to engage in almost all of the school activities and she is a faithful worker. She be- longed to six difterent societies, including the Agony Assassination and the Library and College clubs. Grace also did duty on the 69 Prom committee. the Candy committee and the Flower committee, besides being a tireless worker on The Pennant and The Annual staffs. She graduates with honor. Faye Cumberlidge is another honor student. Faye has been quiet and studious for four years, but has been active in the Library club and The Pennant couldn't have existed without her, for she did all the typewriting. We are wondering why Loretta Sears was not in the operetta, for she would have made a characteristic Japanese, judging from her fondness for Rice. Hail! The Johnson sisters, Jennie and Hulda, are now before us. Jennie was leader of Miss Cawley's famous debating team which won all interclass debates during Junior year. Hulda has taken the Normal course and intends to become a pedagogue some day. She graduated with honor, as did her sister. Now, with Malice aforethought and in the spirit of deepest re- venge. I tell of Mary Pellegrino last, for was not this the position she gave me in her part of the History? Mary was a charming Jap- anese in the operetta, and a chorus girl in the Minstrels, and it has been lately rumored that she has fine ability for such. At least she has a wonderful pair of brown eyes which it is said she uses to perfection at times, But don't worry Mary, I'll tell no more. Mary, besides being a great favorite of Miss Scanlon's class, which family tradition she cannot help, is also part owner of that famous Cant- well-Pellegrino giggle. C'EST FINI. Q! Q! A!

In a vision I did learn that I must first hnd her who would reveal to me the fortunes of my former classmates. Not until then might I return to my true state and cast oft this guise of ancient Aeneas. Therefore do I address thee, O Sybil, if thou mayest consider me and reveal that future. S.+As thou seemest to be Aeneas, the good, so will I answer thy prayer, and from the leaves of my sacred oak--tasideb planted by the Agassiz Association?-will I reveal the fortunes of a strange people in far-distant Atlantis. tlfluclcing a leaf and regarding it.J I see thy classmates assembled as in a mighty throng, whose lofty standard bears the inscription, Nulla Vestigxia H9tl'0l'SllIl1, and T1 whose name is-is--thesitates, mystifiedj whose name is-the Class of 1019, Meriden High School. A,-tlmpressedl--But tell me more of them, I beg of thee, gra- cious Sybil. S.-Ah, thou son of Troy! Theirs is a strange and uncouth languageg I doubt if thou canst comprehend it. A.-Doubt not, O omniscient one. The comprehension of pious Aeneas is unbounded. S.-'Tis well then, Aeneas, and from these leaves will I read that which fate has decreed for thy former classmates. And that thou mayst likewise understand their import, while thou art in my pres- ence I do give thee power. tBestows Power.J:ft The Sybil and Aeneas pluck leaves from the Magic Oak tree and they in turn read from them the prophecies of the Class of 1919. This leaf says that the Philadelphia Athletics won the world's championship principally through the work of the famous 525,000 battery, Bill Stockburger, pitch, and Stan Currier, catch. A press dispatch says that when the Athletics played the Girl W'onders, the champion girls' team, Bill struck out even the heavy hitters, Ida Israel and Anna Barry. Billie Dessereau, the star of the Pinwheeled Jollies, has won the hearts of all New Yorkers with her clever acting and cute ways. Her pictures got to Yale college and when she played a single mat- inee engagement in the Shubert theater at New Haven, they had to close up the college. Not even the professors would stay there. Bob Doran and Jim Stretch, in a vaudeville team, are just com- pleting Keith's circuit. Bob wanted to go on a Barntesl storming tour, but Jim wanted to stay near the shore tShawJ. Grace Church has tried all sorts of professions and can't seem to make up her mind as to just what to do, She has written sev- eral treatises on Girl Scout work and has spent some time in dis- tributing them throughout the country. Grace believes in accom- panying her pamphletsg she says it makes a much better impression. Herc Ellis is owner of a farm in East Berlin, and just on the side is principal of Berlin High School. Fatty Arbuckle's successor is to be starred under the same name. And he's none other than Bill Ost! Bill always was a shark at mathematics, and he has it all figured out that the cosine of 211 equals 1 laugh. What do you know? Edna Lingner is a book agent traveling for t'Snappy Stories! Who'd have thought that Edna would ever come to that? Kath Shaw, after completing her course at Connecticut College. is starring in athletics, She recently did a 10-mile Stretch on Snow-shoes in record breaking time. Leave it to Kath to do things up Brown. Lydia Barnikow always was a shark typist. She's keeping at it as strong as ever, and has won six or eight leather medals as the National Speed Champion. Faye Cumberlidge iirst took Miss StoWell's place as librarian at M. H. S. and afterwards became assistant librarian of the fairy tale group of the children's section of the North Branford library. ftOwing to the fact that the Sybil got dressed in a hurry and forgot to bring with her the magic powder whicli would bestow the pow:-r mentioned. she bestowed the power by smiting Aeneas upon the right t-he-ek with the palm of her hand. XVhile this reflects great credit upon her presence of mind, IKWHS 1'0i21lly Unexpected and nearly precipitated a light.

Jen al- ways did aim for the high spots. Paul Barbour, the speed demon of America, won the 500-mile race on the race track at Sheepshead Bay. He smashes on an av- erage four cars annually. Anna Bechtold is conducting a typewriting school in VVest Yales- ville, They say she is a marvellous success and all the West Yalesvillites are clamoring for her to open a school in the use of the shift key, back spacer and eraser. Helen Broderick and Julia Sullivan are still together, that is, as near as possible. Julia is a stenographer in a- large factory in Cheshire, and just outside the door sits Helen, punching the time clock for delinquent arrivals. Helen always was a prompt one, Louise Scheffer is barker at a hot dog stand at Coney Island. Her voice fitted her for the job. Well, here's a member of the class who landed in a circus. This leaf shows a big sign announcing Vincent Nold, the Famous Skel- eton ManfWeighs only 73 pounds with a hair cut. And to think that he used to be called Tubby. Agnes Walsh acquired a sudden fever for dancing and is now a promising pupil of Denis-shawn. They're trying to get her to ap- pear at Poli's in Meriden, as there has been nothing doing there out movies since the Ponselle concert way back in 1919. Edward Fay is apparing in vaudeville as The Man of Surprises. After surprising every one by graduating with the class of 1919 by super-Herculean efforts, he went on the stage and gets big money for his surprises, one of them being to extract a 15-foot alligator with gold teeth from his vest pocket. Hulda Johnson is back at M. H. S. teaching in the latest course that has been installed there-hair-dressing and manicuring, The old school certainly has progressed since 1919. Dot Lawton, recently a saleslady for the Dorothy Dodd shoe in Chattanooga, has now accepted a position as matron of an orphan asylum. Jack Brown, a colonel in the army. He joined the colors after he had been fired as a telegraph operator. Jack couldn't keep his mind on his work, and when receiving messages he got them all balled up. He couldn't seem to read the dashes-all he could hear was the Dots. Pardee1s Yariegated and Syncopated Jazz Orchestra appears at the Meriden Armory every Saturday night, under the auspices of the M. H. S. Cadet battalion fatigue duty club. Mr. Pardee, the leader and pianist, is the greatest musician of this band of jazzers, and the orchestra plays some dance hits of his own composition, including Laura, Dear, You Missed Me, and Fair Catharine. It says here that Lucy Cantwell is piloting a transatlantic mail aeroplane. 'Well, she always was rather flighty. She carries the mail free of chargeg says that she's willing to carry plain male, but she won't have anything to do with mail that costs money to send, as that would be fee-male. Mabel Messner is posing for the covers of the Cosmopolitan and the Saturday Evening Post. She is known as the new Harrison Fisher girl, Emily Hotchkiss is selling patent medicine, a sure cure for snake bites. She has done a wonderful business ever since July 1, 1919, as her medicine is 58W alcohol. Alice Boehringer, Ph.Z., C. S., is doing cover designs for the Police Gazette and the Ladies Home Journal. After her tour of 73 Russia she issued a collection of sketches entitled Bolshevik Bub- bles, or Proofs of My M. H. S. Oral Themes. . Helen Schuerer, Mabel Lange and Jennie Johnson are starring in the new musical comedY, The Wild and Wooly RGVUG- The music was written by Miss Elizabeth Olmsted, who has composed a lot of jazzes lately, including the Baldy Blues and the Wayn- ing Moon. Isabel Gibson is the star vampire of the show. The comedy was written and the costumes designed by Miss Frances Williams. Critics call it the liveliest show of the season. Peg Butler, now agent for the Ford car, in a recent race with a Y and O tYanrioi railroad trai11, defeated the train by fifty feel. The race was for a distance of 200 yards and Peg would have made a better record but for the fact that she stalled her engine twice. Some speed! Evelina Johnson has written a highly successful book entitled How to Prepare Lessons Two Minutes Before the Period Begins. for the edilication of high school students. Her work brought her such an enormous income that she's living-like Sammy Johnson! in indigent easeg---quite near Foster street, it is said. John Hynes is a Bolshevik poet and writer, and is prominent in many current issues of Rampant Ravings of the Reds. The Edison Phonograph company announces that it has engaged Miss Ida Sport to prove the accuracy and endurance of the Edison Machine in a special test. The announcement reads: A record of Miss Sport talking at the rate of 375 words a minute will be made. At a public test Miss Sport will repeat her words and the Edison will reproduce them---it can't re-create them. It will be seen that the Edison is Very accurate, for it will catch 6894 of the words. It was necessary to make a special record to stand the strain of this test. Stanley Hafner, owner of the Pittsburg Silent Steel Mills, has ar- ranged with the Edison company to purchase all of Ida Sport's records. He has perfected a device whereby he can use them in his steel mills instead of coal to supply the necessay hot air. Here we have what Marion Morris and Grace Madden are doing. They are photographers and have studios in New Britain. When the class pictures were taken, Marion exhibited such a knowledge of how it should be done correctly that she decided to take up the business. After graduating from New Rochelle, Grace entered in- to partnership with her. In her spare moments, Grace gives lessons on how to walk and get on trolley cars when wearing a tight skirt. Clary Scholelield won fame in the musical comedy world by re- yiving that old song, Along Came Ruth. After dancing and sing- ing his way through the big show, The Girl with the Auburn Hair, he was forced to take a month's vacation at his country place, Hirsh Fields. He was suffering from a Boyle on his arm. One of the new Spanish teachers at M. H. S. is Mildred Taylor, who gained some experience in teaching the subject when she sub- stituted for Miss Keefe.

His fame as a railroad inagnate has made him intimate with Kings. The NVeisleder System of Teaching Kindergarten, a book by Professor Alice Weisleder, the renowned kindergarten teacher. It is said that her system has supplanted the Montessori method, for Alice bases the whole thing on the psychology of dancing. A Helen Connell has become famous as a church singer. She spe- cializes in hymns, her favorite one being Nerrow, My Lord, 'Tis Thee. Babe Kane is now back at M. H. S. with lVIr. Smith's old job of chasing delinquent sessionists. 'tEXperience is the best teacher, says Mr. Kane, and so every 0119 knows that he is qualified for the position. Adelbert Meinke is the leading bass with the Chicago Opera Company. He has attained wonderful success alld is rich enough to own several cars, but his favorite make is the Haynes tHainsJ. Grace Norton has kept up her love for the Terpsichorean art, and is now a ballet dancer at the Metropolitan. But they say the man- agement is kicking because she insists on making such frequent visits to VVallingford.

Angela Dawson has kept up her lightning top-speed brain work and is tutoring pupils to pass a four year high school course in one year, six months and three and one-half weeks. Joe Hartnett always had clever ideas about things. Now he's the inventor of at least 57 different varieties of Oscar's Combus- tible Commodities as he calls them. It is not known where the lclombustible comes in, but maybe it has something to do with his air. The teacher of community singing at Sing Sing college is Annie Simpson. She co-operates closely with the newspapers and has many friends among the reporters and proof-readers. Caroline Sweeney, famous Fifth avenue hair-dresser. has in- vented a substitute for peroxide which Miss Caroline Hitchcock has analyzed and pronounced harmless.

FA M IL V GROW! 82 U Class Oration By Adelbert XV, Meinke Four years ago, as graduates of the'grammar schools, we' looked forward towards our high school career with great anxiety, not knowing what trials we should meet here. We have met many and overcome them all, for we are on the eve of graduation from the high school. WVe are also on the threshold of a life in which each man must fight for himself. Lite is real, as the poet has said, and we may well shrink from the difliculties which it probably has in store for us, but we will meet them, we trust, as we met those of our high school life. It is not noble to be superior to some one else, t1'll9 nobility is to be superior to one's own previous seltg--ever onward! In view of this fact the Class of 1919 has adopted for its motto the words: Nulla Vesligia lietrosuinf'-No steps backwards. XVe have gained from our high school training a great momentuin in the direction of success in life. lVe have learned what a suc- cessful life really means. Our success is not measured by the amount ot' gold we acquire, but by our service to others. VVe should live to serve, not, to be servedg but there is no better way tor us to serve now than by keeping up our studies and developing our powers to the utmost. The better we lit. ourselves to do some- thing in this world, the greater our service will be. Even though there are many of us who will leave school now, we shall not forget the lessons we have learned in High schoolg but, as Sir Galahad rode forward with his eyes fixed on the Holy Grail, so let us advance with our eyes fixed on education, and the use ol? that education through our lives. Let us then be up and doing, WVith a heart. for any fate: Still achieving, still pursuing, Learn to labor and to wait. .-A Aix S3 R V f x XE MN X A ff, - taoao J, Wx 1, . e, of , ,,-43.

And now farewell, may our work begun Spread abroad througli the land like the rising' sun. 84 U Valedictor By Helen Scheurer Four years ago, We, the members of the graduating class of 1919, started on our High School journey. Now this journey is over, and as we review it, we realize how varied it has been--and how perilous. For there has been for many a real peril in the finan- cial ditliculties, in the inducements to leave school which these War years have put in our path. That we have completed the journey at all is a great cause for rejoicing, ' Now we are about to start on another journey, as every former graduating class has done. To-night We must. depart, and in many cases there will hereafter be no friendly guiding hand as there has been during our High School lit'e. Nevertheless, we must let the principles that we lea1'ned here be our guide. YVe must go for- ward, ever progressing, always having: some goal before us. How appropriate is our motto: No steps backward. VVe must apply it to our future journey. The road ot' life may have many intri- cate turnings, many side paths, and dangerous attractions-but we must not heed them. 'We are equipped with the education which the Meriden schools have given us. and our judgment should be the better to keep us in the right path. Our actions, also, must. be honorable, for We shall continue to represent M. H. S. long' after we have departed from this building. Now there comes a word that must be, that has been, a sound which makes us linger-farewell. To our Alma Mater, our school, we say adieu in remembrance of the warm friendships we formed here. the many joyous days spent here, and above all, the literary aspirations which were kin- dled and fostered here and which will shed a gladdened light over the years to come. To the teachers Who have been the greatest of all factors in our school life, to the principal, the superintendent, and the school board who have directed our education, and to the parents and friends who have provided the privileges, we give our heartiest thanks and hope that our future will be a living appreciation for their work. At this time. when we are leaving, our thoughts naturally turn to those who will continue to be under the protection and guid- ance of the school-fthe underclassmen. lt is our wish, as we bid them farewell, that they may remain in school to enjoy the opportunities which it offers them, May they always be loyal to the standards of M. H. S. Now dear members of this class. v.'e must say farewell to each other. After to-night we shall be a class in memory only. Our paths will now separate, some of us will go to higher i11St,it,utgi0113 of learning, others will Gl1tQl' the business world, and still others will fill less conspicuous, but none the less important, places in their homes. No matter where our future lies, we shall never for- get what. M. H. S. has meant to us. Nor shall we forget the friends we have made, for loyal friendships are not broken by ab- sence or by years. This, the parting of the ways, has been reached, and we inust speak the word which we would fain escape-but cannot--it is the Word Farewell, ' 85 lj Commencement ' CLASS DAY EXERCISES At High School .'xlldil0l'illlll XVednestlay Evening, June the 25th, 1919, at Eight O'clock PROGRAM :Song ,,.....,.......... .....,.... .....

The football team, with only three letter men and the squad kept well below twenty-two because of the influenza epidemic which closed the school for half of the season, did remarkably Well by breaking even in its schedule. Due to the win over Crosby the Stoddard Cup has come lor the Hrst time into the pos- session of Meriden. The team played remarkably good football all year. Too much credit cannot be given to Coach Pat Meskill, who Welded together a formidable combination from green mate- rial. Another feature of the season is that Capt. Lacourciere's lteam made the Hrst sco1'e of any kind for Meriden since the season 1916-1917. At the close of the season the squad was tendered a banquet at.'Craig Loch by Dr. J. E. Stoddard.

H. S. Dramatic Society, had little opportunity to display its ability this year. Just when school was fairly started, the induenza epidemic made necessary a month's vacation. As the Props and Paints play is usually given in Decem- ber, by the time that the students were back i11to the swing of school again after the enforced vacation, it was rather late to attempt such an undertakinfcg. To do so would interlere with the general sched- ule of events for the year, so it was decided not to give a play. However, the society continued to be active. Oflicers were elected and after try-outs had been held, many new members were admitteal, containing much promising talent. Most of the cast for the Senior Play was furnished by Props and Paints.

Library Club was organized in March, 1914, at ihe suggestion of Miss Grace Chaniberlain, who catalogued the Li- brary, and under the supervision of Miss Ruth Lockwood, now Mrs. Fenimore Cady, of Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The work of the club is now under the capable nianageinent of the present Libra- rian, Miss Clarise Stowell. . Meinbership is based on general high standing and character, and being a nieniber ot the Library Club is one of the greatest hon- ors Lhat. any Senior or Junior girl can attain. The spirit of the club is essentially democratic. the club being a staunch chainpion ol broadinindedness, self-reliance and Sisterhood. The Work of the club consisted at first in helping the Librarian. hut the club is now a real se1'vice, not only to the Librarian, but to the school as well. Each girl nionitors the library, catalogues and keeps the books in order, and is of invaluable service to the students in aiding theni in reference work. These responsibilities, besides being a great aid to the school in general, are a great aid in the development of each girl's character. OFFICERS. President ......, . . . .

As Meriden High tied in last YEELIJS contest, the cup is now in the halls of this school and Will remain so. On May 23, 1919, a debate was held with Middletown High school on the subject, Resolved, that the government should own and op- erate the railroads. A debate was held in each city on the same night.

Although the activity of the 1919 Debating Society was hindered somewhat because of the fact that so many of the seniors were en- gaged in outside Work, yet the society lived up to the name it niade for itself in sophomore year. Under the direction of Mr, Merrill, several debates have been held in the society meetings. The 1919 D. S. boys also defeated the 1920 D. S. boys in a debate in chapel on the subject Resolved, that the government should assume own- ership of the telephone and telegraph lines of the country, The senior team consisted of John Purcell, John Hynes and Russell Carpenter, while the junior debaters were Reginald Moss, Elmer Burgdorf and Charles Fenner.

H. S. ORCHESTRA M. H. S. ORCHESTRA. Once 'upon a time, in years gone by, the High School of Meriden possessed an organization known as an orchestra, which was really not an orchestra, but a mandolin club. With the coming of Miss Ruth Pease, however, a real orchestra was formed. The orchestra has publicly performed this year and has pleased very much, and, indeed, considering the newness of the enterprise, the progress is rather astonishing. Miss Pease should be commended for her untiring efforts to pro- duce a well-balanced orchestra, and she has thus far succeeded very very Well, THE ORCHESTRA.

The organization kept up the good work started in the au- tumn of 1916, singing at various school affairs and also appearing at functions outside of school. The final appearance of the year of this combination of male voices was at the Class Night exercises, when the Octet scored a decided hit. The Octet was very sorry to lose during the year the services and guiding hand of its coach, Miss Maude L. Hamilton, who left to enter the Y. M. C. A, canteen service. Miss Hamilton had coached the organization since it Was started in 1916. Her place has 'Very ably been taken by Miss Ruth E. Pease.

By the Entire Company The Eighth Annual Minstrels played before a packed house. VVheu the curtain was drawn, the stage setting brought forth in- stant applause. The chorus of twenty boys and forty-one girls was arranged on five tiers of seats, built in pyramid form and banked with palms. The costumes were on the style of college cap and gown. Most of the chorus were attired in blue costumes, while nineteen girls in red costumes were seated so as to form a large M against the blue background formed by the rest of the chorus, W'hen the curtain was drawn, all lights in the house a11d on the stage were out, and the girls forming the letter M held small flashlights beneath the red cloth of their costumes, while the chorus sang the school song, Down the Field. The show was also characterized by some special features. Miss Dorothy Lawton made up as a very good looking lady of colorg chocolate color, to be exact. After giving a monologue entitled, Speak Up, Ize, and 'Spress Yourself, she demonstrated that girls might make good end t'men by singing and dancing Tackin' 'E' Down. Miss Alice Boyle won much applause with an Oriental dance, and the Saxophone Four jazzed out on the stage in regular clown attire with painted faces 4' 'n everything. The show as a whole was well up to the standard of former years. 135 136 NTHE WI l'M 4 CH NYSA I I ,v- 7 .4 Z ld M T' n-1 ' .ffmcess t gybrgsaitktbemritn , V 'F X . sf Z' K 'ff '-,f Q 3-L-.vi f 'A 'I ,mx .

'Ne can surely say that Meriden High School is broad in its Held of entertainment, and does not conhne its dramatic attempts to plays, for on Friday and Saturday evenings, January 31 and Feb- ruary 1, 1919, was presented Princess Chrysanthemum, a Japan- ese operetta in three acts. It was given by the College Club of Meriden, and to say that it was extremely successful would, in- deed, be putting it n-ildly. The operetta Was on a line quite novel for M. H. S., and re- quired a great deal of steady and faithful work by both coach and cast. The charmina costumes were made by the girls under the direction of Miss VVilliams, and the effective Japanese landscape was painted and the scenery contrived by Miss Hamilton and Mrs. J. G, Nagel. The whole cifect was most harmonious and attrac- tive, Under the efhcient coaching of Miss lluth Pease, the per- formance attained the greatest success, both dramatic'ally and financially. The College Club and coach, with the many others who rendered valuable services, are to be sincerely congratulated on an excellent performance.
