Neither a gypsy, nor a dream, nor any manipulation of the stars can reveal to the Stall at this moment what your verdict will be. We hope you will be pleased. For we labored with the hope of keeping high the standards of our Class, and of sustaining to the end its honorable reputation and noble achievements. If we have maintained those standards in this book, then you must be pleased, for surely the records of our Class satisfy one and all. By way of indulging in a little sell'-satisfaction, we beg you to notice that the 1921 Annual is not late in publication. We realize, however, that if this book has merit, the credit belongs greatly to those who have given us their unobligated support. In appreciation, we should like to mention, then, The Curtiss-Way Company, the advertisers, and Mr. Moddcr. A word about tl1e members of tl1e Staff: Benjamin Zcmpsky has made the Annual this year practically u self-supporting institution. We class this deed among the miracles, and Mr. Zempsky among the gods. The assistance of his business staff never lagged, never failed. If you like the write-ups, etc., you have Hugh Lee, Eleanor Smith, and Marion Lally to Uthank. And you owe many a laugh and joy to Arthur Cunett, Gladys Hiller, and Nlr. Modder for their splendid endeavors. Look you back, now, among the pages of this book-and may they make you forget for a while the cares of this old gray world. l 1 7 I ' - X7-V If , - I fu 'rl i - 2 2 i X QR S' W Q Y.

'Qi '3o ' ' V X X I TO THE RESCUE, FACU LTY Through the four years' journey at Meriden High School we have always been conscious of the presence of text-books. For four years we have turned their pagesg we have studied and gleaned from them their hidden wealth of knowledgeg through them we have traveled hitherto unsuspected paths. While we realize now that text-books have their uses, we realize far more greatly that text-books have been but a small part of the means used to gain our end, that the greatest means was Our Faculty. We wish to express as much of our appreciation of the members of that Faculty as mere words will allow. For four years we have struggled along ways that were hidden, obstructed, unlcnowng along ways that were steep, rigorous, tangled. How was it that we survived and conquered? How was it that we were not lost?. Because we traveled under the care of Our Faeultyg because we could feel always the kindly hand of that Faculty upon our shoulders, because that Faculty showed us where to place our feet, and how to set them down. In class we learned to know the Faculty as impartial, honest, fraternal. Its members labored with us when human patience must have been exhausted. The things we have learned, and we hope that they are not too few, we owe to them. They are responsible for our new outlook on life, our higher ideals, our broader minds. Out of class we learned to know the members of that Faculty purely and simply as friends. We confided our troubles to them. VVe sought and honoured their counsel. We played with them even as we worked with them. These sentiments have perhaps been hidden. But we knew from the beginning that they were true. We knew it under our false show of independence and bravado. , And in passing, we feel the greatest sorrow in separating from that staunch, true friend, Our Faculty. THE CLASS OF rozr. DR. DAVID GIBBS, Superintendent DR. DAVID GIBBS The public schools of Meriden are superintendcd by Dr. David Gibbs. Dr. Gibbs has held this high position since August of the year IQI 1. Kingswood, New Jersey, was his birth- place, and the city where he secured his earliest education. lle was graduated from the New Jersey State Normal School in 1894. The following hve years of his life were spent in scientific and post-graduate work at Harvard. Ile was conferred the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in IQO6 by Clark University. Concerning his actual experience with school work, there is much. In the interval between the time he left llarvard until he came to hleriden he had been head of both district and graininar schools, had been superintendent of schools in lhl1lSS2lCllllSCtlS and New York, had been district superintendent in the Philippines, and had been the head ol' the New XVOTLI State Normal School. From this leadership at Oswego, New York, he came to us. FRANCIS L.

PAUL S. MILLER, Vice-Principal PAUL S. MILLER Mr. Miller is the vice-principal of Meriden High School. We are extremely fortunate in having him here, for he is a man of much education and experience. After his preliminary education he entered Perma College, Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, and was graduated in due course from there. In the years 1916-1917 he took up graduate work at Columbia, and later at Yale. He has served as a high school principal for four years in the states of Pennsylvania and New Jersey. During the war he did his bit by serving as major in the American Red Cross for nineteen months. From that position he was secured as the vice-principal of Meriden High. During the last winter, he served as supervisor of the Meriden Public Even- ing Schools. Mr. Miller is one of the best-liked teachers in the school. He is known far and wide as a man who has a heart, as a gentleman, and as the man who is the friend, when a feller needs a friend. We hope, perhaps selfishly, that Mr. Miller will never leave Meriden High. STAFF OF Miss Gladys Bishop, 101 Parker Avenue Simmons Department of Domestic Science Miss Augusta J.

I am not fin the roll of common men. Marion has held so many important positions that she really is a bit superior to the common rank and file. The only thing she can't do is control a senior class meeting. She has the largest male speak- ing acquaintance of any girl in school, but no matter how many boys surround her, she is never the least bit Panek y. The class of 1921 wish her all future luck.

Sa .sweet the blush of bashfulnessf' - Alice's blush is the envy for miles around, and her reputation of bashfulness is widespread. However, she's the sort of person with whom you'd be surprised -that is, mildly surprised, not shocked. She is remarkably fond of Northfield in the summer, but this fondness turns to Dartmouth in the winter. Junior College Club, Chorus. Diligence never brings gtozfertyf' Anton Weise is one of those unlucky individuals that Dud Burr has shown a short cut home from the trout hatchery. Doubtless that is why Anton says so little. Anton took care of the Study hall hymn books for Mr. Hawley, and really managed to stand it. ln recognition of this he was made Class -- Class Will. A sight to dream of, not to iellf' And this is certainly true of Alma, for she had the reputation of being one of the prettiest girls in the class.

Besides this accomplish- ment she is very skillful at writing poetry. In fact, she spends many of her periods doing this, in spite of her teachers' protests. When she is a high and re- nowned poetess we hope she will look upon us all with benevolence. f Pax vobiscumf' Howard Stohr is really a nice little boy. He became a hrst lieutenant in our battalion, and com- ported himself in a very soldierly manner. He also happened to have one of those little blue books, so helpful to an ardent history student.

Cwladie is a painter as well as a poetess. She is the Class Poet but as yet, she says, she has had no inspiration. Glad is also an actress. She took the lead in both plays this year, Rose of Plymouth Town and Captain .links of the Horse Marines. Gladie certainly has a liking for New York. VVe wonder why.

O valiant cousin, worthy gentleman. Lev. Taylor is, without doubt, the most popular person at M. H. S. He is leader of everything he undertakes and, one thing which would have made him famous if he had done nothing else, was the fact that Levy was editor of the Annual. Besides this, as a side issue Levy was president of the S. G. A., editor of The Pennant, member of Props and Paints, IQZI Debating Society, and by far the most important, he was a member of a famous triumvirate largely interested in Horse Marines. Of course these are only a few of Levergne's achievements. It can be said of Levy, as of few people, that whatever he undertook, he made a success.

Harry is quite ambitious, and usually gets what he goes after. But do you remember the last act of the Rose of Plymouth Town? He will entertain you by giving part of the Class Prophecy later in the evening. Now we come to Loretta Walsh, who will give part of the Class VVill tonight. She is very well liked by her schoolmates, and is a student of good standing. She is president of the .lunior College Club, and a member of the 1921 Debating Society, the Girls' Glee Club, and the French Club. Florence VVeisgraber is one of our fair girls with a complexion that might be 'called peaches and cream. Florence has sung many solos during her .ligh School life, and belongs to the Girls' Glee Club, and min- strels. Her conspicuous place every day as first in the lunch line makes her schoolmates wonder how she does it. Next in line is Stuart Young, better known to the boys as Snaker Young. l wonder why the nick- name, but the boys ought to know! Stewie has been fl a member of the Senior Debating society, and is also active in the Senior Basketball team. lt has come to our notice that Stewie wins slow QWinslowj. Marion Welsh is a lover of basketball games, and dancing to good music. She has been a worker in the Junior College Club and the school chorus. lVlarion's highest ambition is the worthy one of becoming a nurse. VVe surely hope that her ambition will be fulhlled. Howard Stohr- Atten-shunnl That just suits Howard, as he has a great interest in military work. He is thinking of continuing this line of work in later life. His favorite slogan is Variety is the spice oflifef' Do you see that petite damsel with the black hair and eyes? Yes, that is Flora Zande. She is one of the sweet-voiced girls in the glee club. Her school work has been done with diligence. ln finishing, let me present my worthy colleague in this deed, Levergne Taylor, better known as Levy. Hc is liked by all his classmates and teachers. Levy has been exceedingly popular, especially this year. He was president of the Students' General Association, editor of The Pennant and Annual, a member of Props and Paints society, taking the part of the bashful lover in the Rose o' Plymouth Town.

Namely, this: the spirit in which this thing is done is one of a contented satisfaction with the fates, one of a great, unholy, devilish glee, and one of a bloodthirsty, sweet revenge. Let us pass on. In carrying on the slaughter let me begin with you, Miss Allworth. Will you? We thank you. Doris likes studios, paints, and so forth. Don't be misled, please. I mean she likes to draw. Further- more, she can draw. She figures on going to Normal School. Miss Bishop! Miss Bishop, A! VVhere is your violin tonight? Oh, you thought you wouldn,t! VVell, I'II explain to the people. I thought Ada was going to bring her violin. It's about the first time I haven't seen her with it. Besides being musical, she is studious, and that's hitting it up some. If I knew enough Spanish, it would be timely to quote some here, because I intend to show you now, Violet Bolinder, the girl who likes Spanish, with all its trimmings. I'm sorry, but she has a career thatls as lily-white as Mayor Donovan's city. Get up on your feet, Dudley Burr! Dudley's a great hunter, hunts nearly everthing but chickens, and he wouldn't be seen even passing a girl on the street. He is going to be one of these cold-blooded physicians. Let us hope it will never be my misfortune to come under his knife. Life is too short to experi- ment. Ethel Cassidy is one of these impatient patients, I see. Well, her time has come. The flowers she re- ceived for her lark-like singing in the minstrels cer- tainly had a nice background, I think. Ethel believes in exercising the facial muscles considerably, when no one's looking. Did you hear that giggle? I'll stack golddust against sawdust that it originated in Leola Clark. She's perpetually, incessantly, and repeatedly giggling and laughing. She keeps books, fools with the type- writer, and uses that system of hieroglyphics called shorthand. If Mr. Doolittle will overcome his bashfulness a minute or so, I would like to present him to you. He represents the group who can get through High School in three and a half years. . 5 o lNIiss Isabel Cole? Yes, they say she is a Com- mercialite. Revels in the stuff, too. She's a good mixer. Not with the glovesg no, but she circulates well, expands herself-self extension. No minstrel chorus could possible survive if Miss Cole were not among those present. I'll bet Mildred Delesdernier hates to stand up, from lack of practice. She rides every day on the Pullman line of the Connecticut Company way from Jungleville, or some such crossroads town. No man would allow Mildred to stand in a car, either. Don't forget that. Mildred represents a couple of good reasons Why the senior play was a knockout. The whispering winds would lead me to believe that Mil- dred takes a great interest in nature, majoring in meadows and leaves. I'm glad to get the chance to write something about or against Margaret Dooley. She's been writing about me in the books of the Council all the year in her position as clerk. She, too, was a part of the famous production, Captain .links of the Horse Marines. She studies, does Margaret! Furthermore, she draws, debates, and sings. Fontanella, show us how you shoot baskets! I think he's mean, don't you? VVell, he can-yes- and play football, and do nine of any ten things you might mention. NVe're lucky to have Beatrice Fearnley with us tonight. She has had the darndest habit of being absent six days a week, and somewhere else the other nine days. And she gets away with it-we can't. Aye, there's the rub, we can't. Emily Flynn is one healthy reason why Mr. French runs the school store so well. She's as much a lixture there as the-as Clement Trudeau is. Laughter and Emily mean the same thing. The Babe Ruth of Meriden High School is Mr. Michael Jamrock, alias Mike. If there were room here, Mike would show you how to do it. Besides having an eye for the ball, Mike has an eye for business, and still another for dancing. A Sh! Go easy! I would hate to have you frighten Eunice Ganner away. She's little, and she's quiet and apt to be exclusive. She departs from school at 2:3556 every known day in the year. She entered with the Sub-Freshman class. ..I l. -af 3 ff, .,,,,, H , 34fffQPZ 2'4. 79525 ,111- f' .7 P .. '-fb--' ' L fv f f f . f ' - ' x 2 . 4 -' ,A,. 1 5. me gg an - Q ,s f ff 14' Q:A.4 ivfig . L - I Mp di? f . Etta Gordon! Etta has played the violin, played the typewriter, played ball, and played to beat the band for four whole years. She has worked the alibi, worked the cash register, and worked her books just as steadily and faithfully. Not that we think we are showing you anything new, but we would like you to look at Benny Katz. You probably met him at the minstrels or some other place this year. Now Gladys, you won't mind standing up where everybody can look at you, will you? You've done it so often before. You know, try as I do, I can't men- tion a thing worth while that Miss Hiller hasn't done. Honestly, I can't, and I can't say that about many people. Roses, captains, pO6tCSS6S, artists-Gladys understands them all, and a thousand more things besides. There is only one H. Wales Lee in all the world. There seems to be something distinctive about the name H. Wales. Consider Hugh's namesake, H. Wales Lines, and Hugh himself. Lee says that there is safety in numbers, when damsels make up that number. Lee's line, which flows from the depths of a plumbless pit, has done for him what Ingersoll did for the old-time dollar. We always knew that Elizabeth Hollman was present, but she never told us so, she left that for us to find out. I guess she thought it would be more fun guessing about her. Paul Neff, you old hypochondriac! Paul has managed the baseball team for two years without many errors. He likes to sell things, but he likes to be on the best end of the bargain. He has been con- signed to the bow-bows many a time because he quit selling lunch tickets before time was up. Agnes Jones, next stop. Agnes has always- Say, we have got to ring Edna Reama in on this show! They've always stuck togetherg so, Iet's start over. Agnes Jones and Edna Reama- Oh, don't, then. .lust as sure as I'm getting in wrong tonight, Edna and Agnes are always in each other's company, con- sequently are each the other's shadow. They'll tell you High School is not so worse, and they certainly didn't find it so. Edna, we are going to have programs at the senior reception, so it will be all right for him. Como esta, Senorita Knapp? Katherine has stood almost at the top of her class in scholarship. She sure does shine at Spanish. She is also a member of the Library Club. It was not so long ago that a certain senior made himself famous by introducing visitors, and so forth, in the Senior Play. By presenting this famous char- acter I ought to become famous myself. Mr. Edward Poolcy. You have mct before, I know. VVhat part was Ed? Natural part, because hc is in real life one of the big hits of the show. I'm not in a very good position to make you ac- quainted with Katherine Lane, but here she is, any- way. She generally takes a wideawake interest in school life. And now words fail me. Say it with the violin , is the idea. For Walter Maron can make the birds sound sick when he gets sawing that violin of his. Next to Hugh Lee, his line is the most productive and the most elastic. The Girls' Glee Club, the Library Club, The Pennant staff, the Spanish Society, and the minstrels, have all been graced at one time, if it wasn't another, by Bessie Lewis. We couldn't help but see Bessie this year, she had the most scrumptious red bonnet. Tommy Purcell is bashful, too. Oh, my, yes! Especially when it comes to manipulating girls. Have you got your ticket for the senior reception? If not, meet Tommy after the show. He's the big boss of the camp. . You know Helen Mayer, probably, for two reasimsg first, she doesn't dislike the boysg and second, s'1e never was known to dodge a boy. We could link her name with several boys in a way that would make great headline dope for The Pennant. But I want to let you in on something new. Helen is a wonderful solo dancer, and that's the Gospel truth. Furthermore, she intends to make dancing her life work. Leo Ricci has been studying hard this year, and the reports he gets show it. It's hard to tell Ricci anything, because he's the original Doubting Thomas. Now if I were Mr. Prouty I could tell you an awful lot about the next proposition, who is Miss Neebe. Gee, I wish I was Mr. Prouty, because I'd like to tell you! I am sure the fudge which lVIiss Neebe supplied the C.P.IVB class with is not for- gotten yet. Margaret likes Yale, but think she could pass the exams. she doesn't Mae Nichols is one of the few people who really catch the main idea of High School-which is to study and study, and when you get tired, study while you rest. The books show, however, that she was inter- ested in debating, nature, and many school activ- ities. .n f 1 f rrr rr I I llll PIII' ' H' ,X lllr 1 at 11 E 1 .92 f I 'v '7 5 7'l 1 ll L.-1.l-N-1 If gl llrr fl ,, jl N Mft ii X!!

His name is-is-is3Beniamin Zempsky, the man who counts and iigures in millions. Benny is known hither and yon because of his wonder- ful business ability. No list of our class could be complete without Doris NVeisner. I hate to crack this next joke, honestly, I do- Oh, darn it, I won'tg it's got whiskers on it already! She takes part in everythingfmisses noth- ing. She is noted for the enjoyment she gets from school and life. Here I should close, but I see one more young lady who protrudes herself-my co-partner in crime, Miss Alma Johnson. I tried to pin Alma down to an agreement, but these women sure can be obstinate. So I Hgured it this way. I'd write two articles for her, one would be nice, and one would not be. If she didn't say anything had about me, I wouldn't say anything bad about her. Coming last, that's a pretty good scheme-upon a par with Mr. Hawley's. It's certain that Alma hasn't said anything bad about me, so here goes: It would be just hard to iind the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow as to find Alma's equal in popularity, male camp followers, and general ability. And that's the truth, pure and simple-undoubtedly pure, but not quite so simple. I think you can tell why she needed 425 class pictures. Enough said, and all is overgall over but the .Iune shower of- Well, I'lI let the future take care of that, but I feel a great inclination to beat it for the tall, deep, mountains.

Have you heard any- Ladies and Genllemvu: In 1920 woman suffrage became a national amend- ment in the United States, thus giving any citizen, man or woman, the rigl1t to vote and hold office. You will please understand that this evening, April 15, 1931, the national president ofthe Federation of Rotary Clubs is making a business call upon the newly elected President of the United States, the lirst woman to hold that office. A Rotary Club as you know, is an organization represenatative of the leading people of all professions, so that all vocations may be included in such a club. The part of the President of the United States will be taken by Miss Levin, and I will take the part of the Rotary Club president. The scene is laid in the reception room of the White House, I have been ushered in, and am, at the opening, waiting for Madame President to enter. Ive both graduated from Meriden High School, in the class of 1921, and when business is off our minds we shall both be eager to discuss the fates of our classmates. HARRY WIETING. Tl1e curtain is drawn, and the president of the Rotary Clubs is seated near a drop light, waiting for Madame President to enter. The President enters witl1 several papers in her hand. The Rotarian, rising- Allow me to congratulate you, Madame President, upon your success. Mme. Pres.- I thank you, Mr. Wietinff. XVon't you sit down QThey both sit.D Rotarian- I have come as the national president of the Rotary Clubs to invite you to be the guest of honor at the annual banquet of the national clubs, to be held in Baltimore, May 6th. ca fy: Mme. Pres.- I shall be very pleased to do so. I shall have my secretary look up that date, and then let you know.', QThe Rotarian rises to go.J P.- Can't you stay a while? I am free for an hour. thing from the members of our class?', P.- I haven't heard from them, but I know what several of them are doing. Francis Danaher, the president of our class, graduated from Columbia and started practising law in the west, and is now the president of a college in Denver. Speaking of the west, I heard that Eunice Hains, having become infatuatecl witl1 WVesQtD, traveled there to complete l1er education, and is responsible for the re-establishment of the Grangefrsj, which had been organized in the nine- teenth century. R.- It would be interesting for you to come to the banquet, because several of our classmates will be there. One of the after-dinner speakers will be Edward Panek. He has become a very eminent doctor, and is a staunch advocate of the anti-tobacco movement. Two of the delegates will be members of our class, representing the lawyers' profession. One of them will be Anton Wiese, a lawyer in Pittsburgh, who makes a specialty of drawing up wills. The other lawyer is hfliss Edna Saunders. She has been very successful, and is the president of a large law firm in Chicago. P.- Ruth Silver is traveling about the country giving readings in negro dialect, having received her inspiration from a theme which she gave in her English class. Two other members of our class, Etta Gordon and Rebecca Orentlicherman, are traveling with her, the former is her business manager and the latter makes her posters, having studied art since her grad- uation from IVI. H. S. R.- One old friend of mine back at school has advanced very far along educational lines. Robert Wiese has spent a good many years at college, and is now professor of Latin at Yale. He can make the English he writes look just like Latin, in fact, he is unable to make it look any otl1er way. That art and his speech-as smootl1 as butter-have made him the wonder of the University. P.- I I-:now a number of tl1e girls wl1o have become teachers. Mae Nichols and Lucy Vincent, the Kensingtonites, are both teaching school in Kensing- ton. Then there is Doris Allworth, who is the supervisor of drawing in Meriden. Ada Bishop is teaching science in Meriden High School. She made quite a fortune o11 her book, 'The Advantages of Knots CNottsj in Wood'.,' .,,..

Have you seen his latest play? Three days ago I was in Philadelphia, and saw it. The name is 'The Sleeping Sickness', and Butler takes the leading part wonderfully well. By the way, do you know that Kuchle is a great inventor? On the way from Philadelphia to Harrisburg, day before yesterday, I looked out the car window and saw a large signboard, which said : THE GREAT FIVE-IN-ONE PASTE The great paste with the tive great uses: I. The tooth paste, 2. The hair restorer, 3. The shortening for pies, 4. The furniture polish, 5. The lubricating oilg All these in one. Inventor, Aaron Ambrose Edward Kuchlef' You know, I always thought Ed. would be a farmer. P.- Edward Berry is also an inventor. He has made a patent lotion called 'Berry's Cure for Curly Hair and Frecklesf Part of the success of his inven- tion is due to Hugh Lee, his advertising manager, whose humorous talks induce his hearers to buy Berry's lotion. Speaking of people who might use Berry's lotion, there is Lucy lbbitson. She and Elizabeth Hollman are matrons in a building in the rear of the High School to take care of the baby fresh- men who are too young to take care of themselves at intermission. R.- While I was in Harrisburg I went into a large shoe store, and while l was trying to get fitted I noticed the name of Leo Ricci printed in each pair of shoes. I guess he has become quite a successful shoe manufacturer. Shoes remind me of something else. Arthur Schneider has become a chiropodist. It is said that he went into the business out of sympathy with the people upon whom he had danced. P.- Dancing recalls to me the names of Edna Reama and Agnes Jones, who have established a dancing school in Yalesville, and before its opening, such dancing was never known! R.- I know where Leora Ryan is. She owns a roadhouse in Clinton, Connecticut, and people come from miles around to get some of her cooking. She is unrivaled in making Logan-berry pies. P.- There are two girls who have opened a new lunch room at Dartmouth Colleges they are Janet Norrie and Elizabeth Gardner. Their meals are so appetizing that all the students go there instead of remaining at their old dining-places. R.- Herbert Racker became a chemist, and will represent those people at the banquet. Mr. Racker is employed by the Mavis Tale Powder and Facial Cream Company, to mix paints. P.- Margaret Neebe and Eunice Ganner are starring in a new play in New York, entitled, 'The Long and Short of lt.' They are very well suited to their parts. R.- Gladys Belle Hiller is a very successful playwright of plays of romance. Probably because she enjoyed the way in which Mr. Butler made love to her in 'Capt. .links of the Horse Marines'. P.- Have you heard that Doris Bieber, the school's best ragtime player when we were there, is now the leader of .Ierry's jazz orchestra in Philadelphia, and has made her residence there? R.- No, I haven't. The last time I was in New York was on a Sunday. I walked up Fifth Avenue and turned into a large church, which was crowded. l was a little bit late, and the sermon was just about to begin. When the pastor arose to speak l recognized in him William Johnson. His eloquent sermon was long and impressive, and l could hardly wait for him to cease. As soon as the services were over I rushed down to greet him, and down from the organ came William Fearnleyf' P.- Doris VVeisner and Lucy Toothe have written a song together entitled, 'Walt and Everett' Doris is now living in Tracy, and-Lucy is traveling around the world with Walter Maron, who has become a renowned violinist. R.- Marvin Woolley is selling records for the Paramount Talking Machine Company, for which Maron has made records. P.- The Paramount Talking Machine? Helen Brinkman invented that, and it reproduces the best music. She has a monopoly on the records of Benja- min Katz and Wayne Hall, both of whom are in grand opera. P.- Leola Clark is teaching Spanish at the High School in Meriden, and Isabel Cole is teaching eco- nomics, her interest in that having been aroused in Mr. Merrill's classf' R.- Weber MacKinnon has Mr. Miller's old job of chasing delinquent sessionists. There are so many people trying to dodge sgssions that the school board had to hire an assistent, who is Edison Doolit- tle. These two gentlmen of course know the whys and wherefores of session dodgers, having been in the same predicaments as the people whom they are trying to bring to justice. I P.- Emily Flynn is Secretary of the High School. She is the third successor of Mrs. Gilbert. . ,,. -li L. - . 1 449,14 W' ,,,,,.,., ,Wff . .

P.- Yes, Lillian Curtiss is not at the school' but is greatly in demand by the people of Meriden who have children in High School, to tutor them and get them through before they are sixteen. R.- Edward Pooley and Elinor Smith married, and he is in business for himself in Meridenf, P.- Helen Schaal has also gone into business, she owns a large department store. Rose Sprafke is the hairdresser of the establishment, and Margaret Swatkins is the manager. Katherine Knapp is the head bookkeeperf' R.- Charles Sleeter and Karl Stremlau have both gone into Y. M. C. A. work. Stremlau is still in Meriden, and Sleeter is in Utica, N. Yf' P.- Stremlau reminds me that Mona Gallivan is using that name for her nom de plume in her sum- mary of Carl-yle's works. I wonder why! R.- Do you remember when President Hard- ing's plan for a league of nations was accepted? Well, at the league, Levergne Taylor was nominated for the next chairman. I hope he is elected. P.- I've just learned that the book on 'How to Play Basketball' was written by Isabel Clark and Ethel Olland. They are quite well known as the 'Two Blond Athletes'. Harry Fontanella and Nlichael Jam- rock have also gone in for athletics, and are playing baseball in the American League. R.- Paul Neff is manager of a team in the New England Baseball League. Ralph Carey is coach of athletics in the University of Maine. P,- What do you know about Flora Zande and Marion Welsh? Flora is manager of Kresge's 5 and I0 cent store in Meriden, while Marion is the manager of Woolworth's, and each is trying to outdo the other. R.- Florence Weisgraber is the stenographer and private secretary to John D. Rockefeller III. l always knew that she would succeed because she had the advantage to see farther ahead than other people. Alma Johnson was secretary to a very rich man in New York, but as he was good looking, she married him. P.- Three of our classmates, Margaret Mc- Weeney, Hazel Runge, and Ruby Bishop answering the call for nurses when the drive was made ten years ago, are now the three best nurses at the Meriden Hospital. 56 R.- Both the army and the navy will be repre- sented at the banquet. Michael Sztukowski has become a major in the army, and is one of the finest shots in the country with a rifle. Howard Stohr is a graduate of Annapolis. P.- Francis Buckley and Dudley Burr are also in the service. Through their excellent service in the High School R. O. T. C., in the war against New Britain, they have been promoted to the maiorship of the Meriden and New Britain R. O. T. C.'s, respec- tively. R.- Lillian MacCall, the screen star, is really Beatrice Fearnley. As you know, she is very popular. P.- Oh, is that so? Did you know that Jenny Rosenberg is making a hit under the name of the 'Dancing Girl'? Ruth Deno travels with her as her companion, while she is learning the dances herself. R.- Marion Lally travels around the country with Dorothy Flagg, giving readings and lectures on current topics. Recently I heard Miss Flagg give a lecture on the Blue Sundays. P.- Only a few weeks ago I read an intensely interesting novel by Alice Dowling. She has taken up writing as her life's work. ' R.- Margaret Dooley is going to represent teachers at our banquet. I have a list of people here who will be at the banquet. I should have thought of this beforef' CHe takes the paper from his pocket and glances over it.j Stuart Young is an engineer. He graduated from Yale. I think he married a New Britain girl. P.- New Britain? Oh, Helen Clark is living there. She has become a Taylor. R.- Regina Markowski is going to represent women of state legislatures at our banquet. She is a member of the Connecticut state senate. P.- Why, Katherine Lane and Elsie North are in the state legislature of Ohio, and are making great names for themselves in the law-making world. R.- Benjamin Zempsky is the president of a business college. He has lots of money, and always will have. He was always an expert financier. P.- Violet Bolinder, who always had a curious fascination for shamrocks Uamrocksj, has a ll0rist's shop, where she specializes in their cultivationf' R.- CLooks at list.j Bessie Lewis is assistant to the head librarian in the Boston Library. f'Y 57 I Y Im ' ..

To Mr. Bacon we leave full permission to stop chapel exercises at five minutes past nine. To Mr. Prouty we give the right to force everyone Cexcept the girlsb to go down the back stairs and up the front. To the freshmen we leave the advice to always honor and respect the memory of the Class of 1921, and to follow in its footsteps as much as possible. And we, the individual members of ,2I, make the following bequests: ' I, Red Berry, leave my envied position as color sergeant in the R. O. T. C. to Elmer Burgdorf.

The time has come to say Good-bye' A world beyond us eallsg And there's 9. note of sadness in Our farewell to these halls. Our hates and fears all fade and dieg It's the end of a perfect day, And our slender lives go rippling by, Taking us far away. Our paths in life lie far apartg .Soon youthful splendor fades, But still, deep down in every heart Are memories of golden days. O memories so fond and dear! ' Those sweet familiar strains Of laughing hours of long ago That each fond heart retains. XYe'll always find that memories In which the soul takes part NVill never die, like earthly things, But live forever in thc heart.

H E is J f aiaa irai, 1 1 -iw f - -1- - ' ' VALEDICTORY Lillian Curtiss The summer sun, during these rare June days, is shining with radiant glory from the heavens. The spring has verged into summer. So, in our lives, the summer sun will, we trust, light us and lead us through that bright season which is now at hand. Our springtime has been a beautiful season. How we regret to leave that inspiring, happy time of our lives! Our hope is that it has brought forth buds which will make us a part of the wonderful manhood and beautiful womanhood of America's next genera- tion. Never can we return to our High School life, our springtime. The Class of 1921 has seen four years of success in its undertakings. Never has a class been guided more smoothly over what might be, without such guidance, the stony, slippery path of High School life. Our Heavenly Father has blessed us and spared us all, that we may have our chance to repay the world by our future lives for what it has so far gener- ously given us. May our successors in Meriden High School be as fortunate as wc. May they ever keep the records of the school we all love free from blemish, and wc sincerely hope that the underclassmen will ever rc- member this, our class, as kindly as we shall remember them. Our days together have been happy ones. We owe the success of this springtime of ours, lirst, to our loving parents, who have worked and striven to give us the privilege of attending Meriden High School, and enjoying its great advantages. Next, we extend thanks to our honored superin- tendent and to the school board for all their effort and interest in our behalf, and now we wish to thank our principal and our dear teachers most sincerely, for the wise guidance they have given us through our school life. We can never express in words our deep apprecia- tion to all who have helped to make the foundation upon which we can now build our lives. We shall try to show this appreciation by doing our part well in the world. The time has come when we must break these dear associations. We must now say farewell to spring, our happy school days, and to this dear old school of ours, in which we have toiled and struggled to this successful end. Classmates, we must now part, to follow different paths through life, and may we, during our summer, enjoy many happy reunions such as this. We must never forget the wonderful opportunities we have had, nor must we ever cease to remember the good people who gave thcm. We must always remember to do our best in every task, in loyalty to our class, our school, and our city. Then, when the summer and winter of our lives are past, and we meet in that everlasting springtime in the world beyond, we shall know that the Class of 1921, of Meriden High School, did its part during its whole existence. f'E E: ?

Although only one varsity man was back from last year, the M. H. S. team made a name for itself, both locally and throughout the state. Coach Coflin developed a green team into what has been called the- Fastest team ever to represent M. H. S. The quintet succeeded in defeating its old rival, New Britain, by the scores of I5-II and 22-12, thus putting down the old jinx which has followed Meriden's team for the last few years wherever New Britain was concerned. Another notable achievement was the fact that the New Haven Commercial quintet, the champions of New England, defeated Meriden by the score of 22-20 in an overtime game at Hartford, allowing only a short margin of two points for the victors. The prospects for another successful season are very bright, as six of the first eight men will be back. ' Coach . . . . . . . . ........ W. Gregory Coffin Manager .... ........ W ayne M.

The society was handled efficiently by a capable stall' of oflicers, which was elected at the beginning of the school year. At the same time, tryouts for admission were held, through which the membership list of the as- sociation was replenished. The big affair of Props and Paints is the presentation of an annual play. The Rose of Plymouth Town this year successfully proved the ability and usefulness of the society. ' ' h l din roles, deserve mention for their superb acting.

H. S. is the Junior College Club, which includes mem- bers from the three upper classes. The purpose of this club is to interest the girls in going to college, and to better the school life of its members. Throughout the year the Junior Col- lege Club co-operates with the work of the Senior College Club of Meriden, and through their joint efforts an annual scholarship to Connecticut College for VVomen, at New London, is given to some member ofthe senior class. This year funds for this scholarship were raisegl partly by a vacation-end dance, and partly by an entertainment known as Stunt Night . On this evening representatives of dif- ferent colleges put on a stunt ol' some kind, and the Junior Club gave a short sketch along the lines ol' a musical comedy. lt is a worthy act to become listerl on the membership roll ol' the Junior College Club.

'-'f-' - W G I RLS' GLEE CLUB This organization, although formed only last year, has grown to he one of the most popular organizations of the school. It has made but few public appearances, but these few soon spread wide the merits ofthe club. Under the supervision of Mr. Smith the club was hrmly organized, a constitution was drawn up, and new music selected. The sole purpose of this club, however, was not to render sweet notes for the pleasure of others, but to mix pleasure with worlc. A dance at the beginning of the year was enjoyed and several socials and hikes completed the social side of the Glee Club. The whole success of this organization is based on the patience of Nlr. Smith during rehearsals, where he had dll liculty at ,times to keep the young ladies under the control of his baton, and upon his great knowledge of things musical.

Each high school placed two teams in the field, an afhrmative and a negative, of the subject, Resolved: That a system of direct primaries should be adopted by Connecticut for the nomination of all state ofHcers. Middletown won the .lohn Danaher Cup by having two winning teams in her possession. Meriden won on the afhrmative and lost on the nega- tive side, and South Manchester lost both sides.

A broader knowledge of the Spanish language, and a greater fluency in reading has re- sulted from the work of the society. The forms of Spanish style have become more familiar through it, and a general knowledge of Spanish customs has been gained by the reading of Spanish literature. The society gave the translation of the play, 'KZaragueta, in chapel. This play is being read in Spanish classes throughout the country, but this is the first time that it has been translated here. The members and oflicers of the society are: President, Lillian Curtiss Vice-president, Mary Orefice Secretary, Linda Rufleth Pennant Reporter, Bessie Lewis MEMBERS Leola Clark, Eunice Ganner, Thelma Oefinger, Anna Krzeminski, Frances Murphy, Elizabeth Church, Catherine Dowling, Anna O'Neil, Elsie Larsen, Ruth Deno, Mary Orefice, Linda Rufleth, Violet Bolinder Bessie Lewis, Margot Schleiff, lrene Quinn, May Meade, Lillian Curtiss Katherine Knapp. x Q 99 E THE FRENCH CLUB , .,,,,..
