But 'KPeace, 'other, be not over exquisite, to dash into this burlesque. l would be well deed. 't'would be wise, if thou readeth this article to the full extent of its length, r explanations follow. First of all, the name of this comedy is the Spectrum. And though we test boasting and though we despise doing anything so egotistic and utterly ipossible, physically. as patting ourselves on the back. we claim that the name pectrun1 is just about the best ever. lf your knowledge of Physics hasn't tirely seeped out of your cranium, you will recall that a Spectrum sheds numerable rays of lights of different colors. That is the idea upon which we ve worked in the production of this performance-the spreading of a ray of ht over the class of ,26, bringing out into sharp relief all the individual members. nd all joking aside, that was a stupendous task, we're here to tell the assembled ultitude. The amount of exertion and brain cudgelling that went into the work f getting a light on some members of the class was really heart-rending. Wfe are satisfied with the result, however, and we hope, dearest public, that u appreciate what you are getting. For the infinitesimal sum of two dollars ou are allowed to enjoy gems of satire, witticism. and wisdom that have material- ed only through intense thought and copious perspiration. And now a concluding remark to the members of '26. If. on perusing the ntents of this work. you tind remarks that you deem too personal, please excuse lem as unseemly levity coming from a bunch of facetious morons. Now. secure 1 the knowledge that you regard this comedy with the right attitude. we lovingly tbmit it to your discretion.

MILLER Principal NR. IHXLTL S. MILLER, .X. Nl. .X. Meriden High School boasts as its principal, Mr. Paul S. Miller, a man vhose kindly disposition and pleasing personality make him esteemed by all who in tht mast have rendered him most fit for 'now him. l'lis varied experiences A 1 iis present position. Mr. Miller lirst graduated from Gettysburg College and then continued his dueation at Columbia, later studying at Yale University. For four years he 'erved as principal in l'ennsylvania and New jersey high schools. During the vorld war Mr. Miller entered the service as a Major in the American Red Cross. hen in 1921 he came to Meriden and lilled the position of vice-principal. The followino' year marks the beginning of his prineipalship. Due to the B . 'esignation of Dr. Gibbs a few months ago, Mr. Miller was appointed by the oard of Education to act as superintendent pro-tem of the Junior and Senior Hivh Schools D . ' ' ' i l l Hi 0- 'a iabl ' would be a mild remark, lo say that ali. hllllll has hller ns o ees c 1 y indeed, for he has so won the hearts of his pupils by his sympathetic and friendly advice that we hope his influence will long continue to guide the youth of Meriden 9 MR. ALLAN VV. MANSFNELD Vice-Principal A We are exceedingly fortunate in having such a congenial and learned Vice Principal as Mr. A. VV. Mansfield. After Mr. Mansfield graduated from Bates College in 1915 xvith a B. A degree, he taught in various schools, throughout Maine and Connecticut Following this, he studied at Yale University and there obtained an M. A. degree. in l9Z5. From Yale University, Mr. Mansfield came to Meriden High School where he has been filling the office of Vice-Principal for the year l925-26. It is unfortunate that, as yet, not many pupils are acquainted with our ne Vice-Principal and consequently do not realize that he is the high desired com- bination of a teacher and a friend. XVe hope that he will sojourn in Meriden High School a long time and thus add his name to the already large list of instructors. 10 ' MISS ANNA T. DOYLE Dean of Girls 1 The recently created office of Dean of Girls in Meriden High School is held by Miss Anna T. Doyle, a very popular member of the faculty. Miss Doyle is a graduate of Smith College and took additional summer courses in that institution in 1925. She was also a Latin teacher in North Brookfield, Massachusetts, until 1918, when she became a Latin teacher here in Meriden High School. Miss Doyle continued in this position until 1922, when her efforts were rewarded by her promotion to head of the Latin department. She has successfully continued in this position until the present time and through her efforts, a Latin Club has been formed where varied programs-among them lectures, pictures, and plays-have been presented in a manner quite different from that of other clubs. 1vVhen the office of Dean of Girls was created, Miss Doyle was the teacher who was selected to fill this newly created position. She will undoubtedly be as successful in her new position as she has been in all her former ones, at least this is the wish of the Class of 1926. 1 1 A 926 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 Pacultg Mark B, Bollman, Ph.

XVe know that our four-years' sojourn here would ve been joyless and empty had it not been for your untiring support and whole- arted cooperation in each endeavor of ours. Indeed, your presence here tonight ly serves to augment the proof of your interest in us. Since tonight is the last time we shall be gathered together in our beloved iool, we must take this final opportunity to express our heartfelt appreciation the citizens of Meriden for this institution which they have given to us, the uth of their city. VVe realize, too, that it is through their efforts that two nderful new junior High Schools have been erected, thereby alleviating owded conditions in our own building, and presenting unhampered opportunities r advancement. XYhat a joy it is to greet such progressive citizens to our 'ercises tonight! VVe extend a hearty welcome to our loving parents and relatives, whose operation and sacrifice have made possible this glorious event. VVe likewise eet our instructors, who have come tonight to witness the fruit of their labors. Last of all we are glad to welcome the underclassmen, who have shared ith us our pleasures and sorrows. Wfe have derived the greatest joy from their mpanionships and though we part, and they in turn will rise to the heights, we pe we shall leave with them a memory which is as pleasant as that which we tain of them. The class of nineteen hundred and twenty-six is before you, and once again extends to you a hearty welcome at its commencement. 55 1 Q ff 5 fi ff .iff a r f NR ff . 2+ 4 f f! yff W Q ff f ,f f Q 2 'P' N nl Mig' l'fi ETAJX -'fy VfW 19:21-:l 'lliu gdfgs, wi ff fl eeeisfgifffbifawo fel p- , DONALD ELLIS S'rEP11,xNi1z BALA Time-1938. Place-Planet Mars. Characters-Two classmates of the class of 1926. Prologue. Mr. Donald lfllis, a noted geologist, has just returned from a trip to Afri bringing back with him a very peculiar and rare specimen of rock. Care experiments have proven that this rock is highly attractive to the planet Bl and can be kept on earth only by means of a special glass covering. VVhile explaining the characteristics of this queer stone at a geological displ at Yale University, Miss Stephanie Balasa, one of his former classmates ai newly engaged assistant, has become greatly interested in this new discovery ai not knowing its peculiar attraction, takes it from the glass case. Nr. lfll excited by her action, seizes the stone but its nlagnetic powers are so gr that both he and Miss Balasa are drawn instantaneously to Klarsg and here x have them stranded on the planet. Donald-Xkfell, here we are millions of miles from the earth and no possil means of getting back. We must find some way of getting in touch with o friends on earth. Stephanie-That's that. XYe're here and there's no use moaning abo it. Let us look around and see what we can find. Lo! XN'hat is that? Donald-Goodness knows, but from here it looks like some kind of habit tion. What say we hurry and see if we can't find some aid? Stephanie-To me, it looks pretty well deserted. Come on. explore a t and see what we can hnd. Donald-Look what I have found! lt's the most peculiar instrument have ever seen: and here is another exactly like it. Oh! I can see the earl as if it were only a stone's throw away. . Stephanie-Give me the other. VVhy, I can even distinguish the peop and the buildings! I have an idea. Let us see if we can't nnd someoil familiar walking around. 56 926 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 Donald--A fine idea. Can you see those little school children playing so itentedly with their teacher? Doesn't the teacher remind you of Betty Lally? Stephanie-Sure enough, that's just who it is, and carrying out the profession which she started to prepare back in High School. And the janitor? Wfell, all things, VVilliam Kavanaugh! XVould you ever have expected to see him ping a school cleaned up? Donald-Could you believe it? And he is helping someone,-why, it's ymond Custy, bringing the milk for the kiddies. :He was always going ieplace with a milkman, and here he is still on the old job. Good for Ray. Stephanie-Oh! Look! You can even see into the buildings. VVhat a nderful instrument this is! And if that isn't Clara Minkwitz and Harold nell seated so comfortably on a davenport. There is at least one high school endship that hasn't as yet been broken. I do hope it continues. D--There is Bob Kilbourne in the kitchen preparing the noonday meal. id notice the brawny Sampson entering the rear door with a cake of ice on ' shoulders. Sure as I live, it's Howard Vincent. lVhat is that sign on the - wagon? Yincent's Synthetic Ice. I always knew Howard had a lot of ibition. I'll bet he's awfully swell headed by now. Stephanie-lNho is that with him? Yes, Lester Sugarman helping him out. ust be Fat is still trying to reduce. It's a wonder he wouldnit try out for ne football team. 'They say football is wonderful exercise. Donald-But let us look around a bit rather than keep our eyes focused , this one spot. Can you see what that large sign says? I mean the big red d white one. Stephanie-Certainly. It must be a theatre for it says lille, Grace Quinn d her Follies of 1958 Wfe must take a peek and see what they are like. Donald-By the looks of things the show has just started. Perhaps we n enjoy the performance without having to hear it. It is a pretty good king chorus. Do you know any of the girls? Stephanie-XN'hy, yes. I see Dot Race and Maidda Stevens. But here e scene is changing. I wonder what comes next. Donald-Can you beat that? There's fiddie Gershefski playing a piano solo. e must be quite popular by now. Nlfhy look! He even shakes his head like tderewski. Notice the applause he receivs. XVhy, every hand in the place is motion. And here comes-let me see-why, it's Marjorie Hathaway giving recitation. Although we canit hear her, I should judge it must be good from iat we heard of her in high school. Stephanie-But this in uninteresting not to be able to hear anything. Come, 's see what else we can find. My! What a crowd! There must be some id of an accident. Yes, you 'might have guessed it. Eddie johnson is in me kind of trouble again with his f'Black Beauty. Donald-Sure enough, the has collided with Elizabeth.Freem,ans' Rolls yce. And there is Henry Neebe trying to uphold the law. I think Henry uld make a better fireman. He wouldn't need a ladder. Yes, there are adelyn Hcbor and Mildred Lampher getting a line on the trouble. 57 1926 SPECTRUM W 192 Stephanie-Here co1nes VValter Tormey's wrecking service. I also not .Xlthea VVebb busily engaged with her pencil. I imagine Althea one of t best women reporters we have today, for she received her experience with t M. H. S. Pennant Staff. But see how crowded the streets are becoming. must be near six o'clock for the people are coming from work. Y Donald-Can I believe my eyes or am I seeing things! No, that's M Sciarra and Bernadette Bartholomew coming out of that office. Wlhyl lo they come from the office of Orville Kerwin's glass factory. Stephanie-Goodness, but it makes one hungry watching folks going i1 the different restaurants. Donald-Right you are, and there goes a group of happy looking you women. Stephanie--Naihy. they look like some of my old friends. Yes sir, they going into Herby Pattrill's Cafeteria. Donald-It looks to me like some basket ball team. Stephanie-Just what it is. It is Mary Agnes Lyons and her all-s quintet. She has some of my old friends playing with her. I can see Do Lyon, Bernice Athorne, and VYanda Laskarzewskl. Perhaps we can see th play tonight, if we keep close watch of them. Donald-Yes, I would like to see some of the old M. H. S. team in aeti VVe will try to keep our eyes on them. Stephanie-Some one comes to greet them and is showing them the w to the taxi outside. just take a look at the taxi driver. Isn't that Herb Frank? Donald-Most assuredly. XYho would ever thought Herbert would driving a taxi, but that surely is he. Stephanie'--But where have they gone to? Donald-I donyt know. XYe have lost them. Me must find them befo they start to play. Stephanie--I see them. They are in the Vtfashington Memorial Gym. XVI that is 1ny old friend Helen Frederick talking to them. Maybe she is th coach. Yes, you can tell by her actions she is giving them their last bit advice before the start. I never expected to see Helen coaching her own gan Donald-Already the crowd has started to diminish and there is a go majority of them going into the ice cream parlor across the way. Stephanie-Such affairs must bring quite a lot of business to the owne and can you imagine Ruth Cameron and Dorothea Glaser piloting such a sho Two very successful girls I must say. But things are quieting down considerab now. ljerhaps we will Iind things a bit liyelier around .'Xmerica's great metropol We shall see. Donald-Fifth Avenue seems to attract the most interest. Notice the hip class stores and amongst them is Herman Dressler's great department stoi But poor Herman seems to have quite a bit of competition with the Ziet Silverman X Co., across the way: but I suppose he has learned to solve l business difiiculties by trig, as he was always a real mathematician. 58 926 SPECTRUM 1926 Stephanie-Oh! lust look at that high class cabaret at the corner of Fifth venue and 42nd street. Isn't that the one which is run by Morgan Sutliffe? imagine it must be a first class place because Morgan always wanted the best. Donald-But what is going on now that is so exciting? Stephanie-Xlihy, it's the David Jacobs l'roduction Company, shooting a .baret scene with .-Xl Pellegrino and Priscilla Neal giving an exhibition, Spanish ance. Two very good Spaniards, I will say. Donald-Yes. and there is Clair La Croix and Ethel Petrick, our two old separable schoolmates, waiting their chance for action. Heres hoping they eet with the most of success in their career. Stephanie-But aren't the lighting effects wonderful? Donald-'Well, why shouldn't they be. That's Harold Hutchinson acting 'ts ief electrician. 5 c Stephanie-How successful he has become. Perhaps there is something of ore interest on the program being broadcasted at the Times Building. It looks me like some kind of a recitation and there is livelyn Nevin spieling off some- ing. I wish I could hear her. Donald-If that is all that is going on here we might as well move. Old lother Earth seems to be lighting up a bit now. Maybe we will be able to e things more clearly and many more of them than we could at night. Stephanie-Already I see an old acquaintance. There's Yeronica Doran it so early. XVhy, I know, she's waiting for 'Ruth 'l'yler's Dress Goods Shop open. By the looks of things, Ruth is going to have a bargain sale and re's Yeronica looking for a real bargain. 'l'here's one girl that will never get uck Donald-Notice that magniticant car which is just leaving Carl XYirth's uto Sales Department. Carl must be doing a wonderful business,-and isn't at Mary Solek, his stenographer. Stehpanie-just look who the chauffeur Little Billy McKenna, and no 'gger than ever. Shall we keep an eye on him and see where he goes? Donald-surely, that suits me. Say. that's some wonderful estate he's riving into. Probably the home of some llvall Street financier. Stephanie-wYou are right. He has come to get the owner, Lionel Nobert. ome class to him, and to think that Hank used to be one of our old schoolmates. Donald-I have always wanted to see what was elsewhere in the United tates. Let us not keep our eyes on the eastern states. but move them in some ther direction. Stcimhanie-'l'hat's a line idea and a southerly direction would be the best, r Florida has always held a great attraction for everyone. Donald--See how cool and comfortable everyone looks around Palm Beach. ook. isu't that life guard in the red bathing suit Dot Snyder? Stephanie-That's just lwho it is, using the training she received at Red Bridge to good advantage. And there is another Red Bridge fan guarding the each. George Parker seems to be a long way from home. Donald-Yes, he is: but, do you see that real estate office? Can you read ie name of the firm on the window? 59 1926 SPECTRUM --- 192 Stephanie-Certainly, it's the Fontonella 81 Fontonella Real Estate offic They must have a fine business by the looks of the stenographers who are . busy taking dictation and typing. Donald-Just as T thought, there's Adelaide Hall and Clara Olson putti into use Miss Scanlon's diligent training. Stephanie-Can you see that society dame so elaborately dressed, strolli along the beach? Donald-VVho do you mean? The one with the little black dog? Stephanie-Yes, that's the one and the young lady is one of our old clas mates, Dorothy Hayden. I wonder if it's the same dog which occupied a fro seat at the time the American Glee Club gave a concert at the High Scho in 1926. She must have married some millionaire by the looks of things. Donald-She treats her dog very kindly. See! she is stopping to buy him . all hot at Gladys 'King's hot dog stand. I wonder if Glady's business is 2 promising as it was when she aided Mrs. Vtfalsh in the High School Lunch Roon Stephanie-I just know that she is very successful, but let your glance fa on the well kept laboratories of the Muscle Shoals plant. Things are certain kept in good order when you have the right kind of a person to run them. Donald-No Wonder, take note of the chemists. Two of Mr. Hinman first class students, Gladys Baldwin Zlllfl Esther Fowler. If women keep thin as neat as their laboratories it will not be long before the government has nothin but the fair sex in its employ. Stephanie-Do you know that Chicago appears to be almost as large as Ne York. Certainly there must be a great deal going on there. Donald-Yes, just take a look at that beautiful new building being co1 structed near the Chicago Y. ll. C. A. College. Stephanie-If my eyes do not fail me the sign says, Allyn Parrette, Arch tectf' Allyn is now one of the country's best, and he certainly has attained hi goal. But there is something of more 'interest in the next building. Albe Sprafke, Dean of the Chicago Y. M. C. A. College, is very busily engaged i dictating to his secretary, Miss Gertrude Hagner. Gert's desires always seeme to lean toward Y. M. C. A. workers. Donald-My! VVhat a big ranch that is down near the Mexican Borde The owner,-goodness me, Ralph Grussi, showing a group of tourists aroun the place. He must feel pretty proud of his possessions. Stephanie-But see the exciting time his helpers are having! A bull figh and oh me, oh my! It's Saul Goldner, trying to throw the bull. I've heard i said that he is wonderful at bull throwing. Donald-Being so near to California, why can't we explore the place a littl Stephanie-A fine idea and here's my long desired chance to see Hollywooc I presume we will find many of our old friends there for the class of '26 alwily contained a great deal of talent. l Donald-VVhy yes, there's always something taking place around Hollywoof' Right now I see a scene being enactedg and sure enough, Helen Buess is takin a part. By the actions they must be producing The Fusserf' And I thinl that's Margaret Brewer playing with her. 'Their part is being played to perfect 60 926 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 on, but that credit is due to the director who, if I'm not mistaken, is Bernice obson. Stephanie-Something has gone wrong for see how the producer, Moses cob I-Ienkin, is pulling at his hair. I hope things come out all right. Donald-But there is a larger scene being snapped further on. I wonder hat that is. Stephanie-From 1ny position it appears to be a royal wedding. Aha, it is lifford Benander who takes the part of the Prince, and Dot Sprafke, the rincess. Dot has two very good attendants in Caroline Drechsler and Florence etelhut. But what is most surprising is to see our old friend Joe Zuchowski, aying the role of the Bishop. Donald-I hate to believe my sense of vision but it's jimmy Harvey running e camera. I always thought that he had more ambition than that. just see at glorious orange grove. Doesn't it make your mouth water to see those onderful oranges? And to think that the owner, Allyn Chabot would willingly nd us a few, if he were only able! But let's forget our hunger. Stephanie-Oh! I have spied something interesting. Allow me to read e poster which I see on one of the Los Angeles skyscrapers. JUST PRO- UCED, THE VVOMAN HATER, with ROCCO PETRUCELLI. THE OY WIT!-I THE. SMILE THAT W'ON'T RUB OFF. SUPPORTED BY N ALL STAR CAST INCLUDING IARLINE MILLS, EDITH DAVIS, ND RUTH BENNETT. COME AND HAVE A GOOD LAUGH. I do ish I could see the show but- H Donald-My, how I wish I was on that enormous steamship just leaving the olden Gate! The captain looks familiar. Upon my word it is Salvatore erasale. Stephanie-It seems bound for the Hawaiian Islands. Thatis an inspiration. et's see what we can see on the Islands. Why, there's Florence Young seated a palm grove, playing an Hawaiian guitar. I would give anything if I could tch the air of that sweet music. Donald-But she's not alone. Don't you recognize Anita Schuman with er? They must be living on their fathers' incomes. An easy life for some ople, I will say. Stephanie-And I see john Budd there also, trying to interest the Hawaiian irls in his Self Rolling Silk Hosiery. He must be traveling around the world fith his wonderful patent. Donald-How civilized the Philippine Islands look today! Can you see at group of people being instructed by two American Missionaries? Stephanie-Plainly enough, but I can see something of much more interest. he missionaries are two old friends of ours, Elizabeth Smith and Phyllis rown. It certainly is amusing to see those two girls engaged in such a wonder- l work. Donald-That is true enough, but look at the American Pearl Fisheries on anila Bay. That is Nick Roberts in the president's office. I'll bet he has the hilippinos well instructed in 'Tic Tat To. 61 1926 --M SPECTRUM --- 192 Stephanie-Turn your eyes in a north westerly direction and notice h busy Hong Kong, China, is. The Chinese have automobiles, street railwa and all kinds of modern improvements in their cities now. Donald-To be sure, and that must be due to the influence of Howard Re I remember reading some time ago how he left for China to try to industrial' the Empire. g Stephanie-Speaking of reading articles I recall reading of W'anda Stasews now a missionary nurse, who was on her way to India where she would try improve poor conditions there. Let us see if we can locate here. I Donald-A line idea, but 'I think we will have a hard time finding 1 out among the crowd of Indians. Stephanie-Don't you fool yourself. I see her already and she has wi her Celia Olscheski. Who in this wide world would have thought Celia wot have gone into that kind of work z- P Donald-You know that just before I left Africa, a party of explorers w starting off for the jungles. A woman, an old friend of ours, has the distincti of being the first lady to head a party into the jungles. I'll bet you could nev guess who it was. Stephanie-That will be easy for I have espied them already. It's Flori Lasleyg but I always thought they took the colored natives along as guid VVhat- ' Donald-I understand who you mean, Art C-last. I don't know how he g with the expedition but that surely is he. Stephanie-So this is Italy, the land of romance! Could you believe i There is Doris Goodwill. I wonder what she is doing in Italy. Donald-Common sense would tell you that. Of course, she is studyii music. But I am not so interested in what she is doing as I a1n in that fun little building on the side of Mount Vesuvius. W'hat can it be? Stephanie-If you kept up with every day occurrences as you should y would be able to tell that. Donald-VVell, what is it then? Stephanie-XVhy, it is the special indestructable laboratory of the two gre American scientists, Robert Fischer and Nelson Mellon, who are studying t cause of the recent eruption. Donald-VVell, where did you get that wonderful information? Stephanie-You forget that I worked in a theater before you hired me, ai was thus able to learn considerable from the News Iwfeeklies. I also learn that Adam Panas has started an International Boy Scout movement in Ital but it seems that I canit locate him. Donald-Speaking of art! Wlho do you suppose I see? It's Ebba Olso who is president of the international Art School at Rome. They say she rr some competition with Edith Peterson, who instead, became secretary of tl school. Stephanie-But at last, the beautiful city of Paris. And just in time see the Champs-Elysee Fashion Show which is just going on. I wonder if the are any American entries this year. 62 1 926 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 Donald-Sure enough, I see Doris Taylor and Dorothy Tennant strutting ng the Boulevarde. Stephanie-But I see something of more interest. Look at the sign on tt little shop, 'la Shoppe Americain, Mlle. Georgette Van Hove, I roprietor. Donald--My, but the Paris streets are pretty well lilled up with Ford cars! yonder how they got into Paris. A Stephanie-That salesman, why Tom Murphy, selling Fords to the French- en. How do you suppose he ever gets up early enough in the morning to Co y business? Donald-See, he's trying to sell a car to Helen Lee. Wliat in the world is doing in France? Stephanie-Don't you know? She is the new woman ambassador to France. ll me, do you know where the Sorbonue is? I have heard so much about it t I would like to see what it looks like. Donald-I don't know exactly, but isu't that it just north of the American nbassy? And I believe that is Mary Coe teaching there. Stephanie-just who it is. She 1nust be teaching English, for what else uld she be doing? Donald-You are right, and if Mary can teach English as well as she learned ench there need be no fear of producing a smart bunch of English speaking enchies. Stephanie-Goodness knows who we'll bump into next! VVill you just see io is loading up his ship with cases of Bordeaux wine? Herman Gritz. Does ever expect to get that stuff into the United States? Donald-That will not he so easy, for don't you remember that Martha Jencer recently took the command of the United States Coast guard and I am re she will stick up for the right. I Stephanie-Yes, you are right, but who is that whom I see in London? n it be that Grace Matthews is spending her time in England? XVhat can e be doing? Donald-XYhy, she is trying to introduce her famous D. Y. E. to the English. me guarantees that it will change red hair to black within twenty-four hours. Stephanie-But who isithat taking notes on the meeting of l?arliament? irely it can't be Anna Iinopp. I thought she was teaching in Meriden High hool. Donald-I thought so also, but I am sure that is she. How in the world es Edwin johnson expect to make a living? Can you see him up there in eland? Stephanie-Yes, but what is he doing? Donald-A salesman. selling icehoxes in Iceland. Perhaps its only tem- rary insanity, who knows. Stephanie-Wfhy waste your time on such fool things. You drew my tention away from something interesting I saw going on in Ireland. Mary ynn is somewhere on the island, matron of the Home for Irish Orphans. Donald--Oh, never mind Ireland now. VVe're getting closer and closer to ir own country. Let's keep going. 63 1926 --- SPECTRUM'--- 192 Stephanie-Ogee Ogosh! Take a look at the Canary Islands and see X the canary trainer is. Little Bob Gillhuly. It's a shock to me for I alw thought he'd do better training women rather than Canaries. Donald-We have not yet visited South America. I think we could something of interest there. We shall see. Seeing is believing and I see ' Liedke managing the American Rubber plantation. Carl always thought t rubber was the longest word in the dictionary because it stretched. Stephanie--But look! There is Maude Ives in Rio cle Janeiro. She l established a manicuring and hairdressing parlor there. You wait 'and there'll be a lot of Happers in Brazil yet. Donald-There must be some now, for otherwise George Kemps wouldn't be there representing the American Government. He would have tr, for some other place with just as little work. Stephanie-But what is that group of explorers starting up the Ama River? Donald-lfVhy, that's the Blachuta, Benfeldt Scientific Explorations Co pany starting out to obtain a collection of Brazilian VVhiffan Poofs. They'll worth a million if they End more than one of the rare beasts. Stephanie-Here we are in Cubag and isnyt that 'Timmy Mastriano on tl sugar plantation? I'll wager he's having a cane raising time with his sugar Donald-But who is that, Charles Malloy busily engaged on his little fari I suppose coffee and teas are his main produce. But what can Bill Lisee doing in Cuba? Stephanie-That's so simple itls hard to believe. He's down there for health, carrying out the advise of Althine VX-'ilbur, specialist in the treatment heart troubles. I rather guess Bill has got a bad case. Donald-I-Iow wonderful the Panama Canal looks, and see, there is M Kelly and Florence Garrity giving their services as nurses to help check yellow fever. They are surely doing their part of work for humanity. Stephanie-Yes, they are, but what in the world is Ray Johnson doing thei Donald-From reports I used to receive, Ray is carrying out an idea which he can electralize the world by solar power. I certainly hope he is succe ful for it will mean so much to him and his success. Can you see that sl just sailing through the canal? . Stephanie-Yes, and can you see who is on it? Two of our old frienc Anna Dorin and Marie Graycar. They are on their way around the world. heard that they are to write a book on their travels after they return. I ho that I will be able to see it for I just know that it will be interesting. Donald-But there is someone else on the ship. Sidney Foster believed the sign, bl oin the Navy and see the VVorld, and here he is still scrubbing decl Thatis a good joke. Stephanie-Can you imagine it. W'e've depicted scenes from all over tl world and haven't looked into our own wonderful city of Washington. Sure some of our old classmates must have landed there. Donald-How did it happen? Julliette Hamel and Regenia Hartma librarians in the VVashington Public Library. I 64 926 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 Stephanie-l imagine they just drifted in as lfddie tiibson drifted into his tion as Chief ,lustice of the Supreme Court. Donald-Stranger things than that are visible, for just look who the new sident of the United States is. Stephanie-I always said that some day the women would run the land, I never thought that one of our old classmates. Celeste XYorral, would be hrst woman president. lsnt it just wonderful to see our old friends so 'essful. See she is having a cabinet meeting. Donald-Yes, but what strikes me most is to see that she has such diligent from our old class of '26. Stephanie--.lust how is that. Donald-lDon't you recognize them? Klary Smith, Secretary of State: rge Fox, Secretary of XYar, a very good lighter: and Helen Burke, Secretary l':'easury. Personally l should say the best cabinet that ever existed. Stephanie-Oh! l see now, but I was more interested in the session of senate where a heated debate was going on between Harry Fightlin aut. more Mag. VVhat a scene! It has become necessary for the Vice President, 'hy look, it's Klarie Lussier who has just sent the Sergeant at Arms, Ernest 'k, out to set the Nlace before the unruly Harry. Timmy should be more 'ful how he treats his fellow female senators. Donald-l wonder if there could be any of our old friends in the lower se. Sure enough, there are Norman liamens and XVilliam Turner getting ly to criticise the speech delivered by the Speaker of the House, Norman 'gdorf. l'll wager he's introducing some plan for entrance to the League of ions. Do you suppose that Norman still believes that by joining the League lations, we would be indirectly joining the League of Nations and so therefore ought to join the League of Nations? Stephanie-Maybe he does, but what ever is Helen Connaughton doing ind the Xkihite House? Donald-l am not very well acquainted with woman's dress but I should ge she is the VVhite House cook. Any way she has made her way to the ite llouse. 'l'hat's more than some of us can say. But who is the ambitious ng janitor who is so intent in cleaning up the place? Stephanie-Do you mean to say that you went to Meriden lligh and can't me that? XYhy. it's .lerry Klarcantonio of course. Xkiho else could get a like that? Donald-XYhen you think it over it seems impossible, but do you realize that have looked up every one of our old classmates and found what each is doing? Stephanie---Not so fast. How could you ever forget Bill Vtfilkiuson and Schmeltzer, the two most representative pupils of our old class? Donald-I am sorry. I imagine they would consider me quite forgetful if were here. Hut look, I have located Bill already. He is still in Connecticut. more than that, he is Governor of the State. 65 1926 'SPECTRUM --- 19 Stephanie-.Xncl I see Dot. She is also still in Connecticut, ancl, for matter still in Meriden High School. But instead of a pupil, she has t Miss Doyle-:'s place. Donald-How long have we been looking through these glasses. O00 my eyes are tired. Stephanie-Ile too, but I ani also lningry. XYe must search further see what aicl we can lincl. Think of the wonderful future all our classn are having and here we are, stranded, perhaps for the rest of our lives. our lives won't he very long, if I don't lincl some food soon. Donald-But why complain VVe,rc here-anal will he unless we can lincl s way out. Come, let us look. Stephanie-All right, but hurry, 1,111 still luingry.

But we shall e the situation to you. There is a great clamour for a history of this most un aye, most eminent class of 1926. 'l'he people are demanding to know your and deeds for the past four years. VVe have never been remotely brilliant the subject of history, much less historians ourselves, but we promised to the bulky book emblasoned with your famous names. So,, if your behavior been rash at anytime woe unto you, for it goes down on record. for your p. and your friends to see. The first important personage in our l-listory is .Xlfred Pellegrino, our llresident. lt follows that he has been very popular with everyone tempha the fair sexi. However we forgive him for that and find that his list of surely proclaims him a celebrity. l-le is President of the Spanish Club, Pre of Props and Paints, a member of S. G. AN., Pennant Staff, 'fSpectrum Debating Society and was in the east of 'ikclain and Eva. Celeste lliorrall is among the tnot the four hundred in this casej but four or tive who though Seniors are able to get four :Vs on reports. .-Xnd Celeste has found time to be the President of the l-atin Club, a member of Pennant Staff, the 'iSpectrum Staff, Props and Paints and several other organ zations. Georgette Yan Hove has hardly raised her voice above a whisper these for years, and it's a shame because she certainly is smart. XX'hen it came to Chen istry or Algebra Georgette was right there with ,'X's. Dorothy Tennant has been one of the happiest carefree girls in the clas' She has had many.thrilling hikes tif you call an 18 mile walk a hike.l Hut i a few years Dorothy will be wielding a birch rod. XYe wish you luck, Dot. ' lidith Davis has been one of our most prominent llappers. She is fon of new clothes and has been noted for her variety in wardrobe, always. lfdit is a member of the Art Club. 76 1 I 926 SPECTRUM 1926 Speaking of Vllilliam Turner we can remember him as one of the leading ops of the Orchestra. Wle have been fortunate, indeed, in having such a e cello player in our midst. Hail, Allen Parrette! .Xllen has liked his Virgil class better than anything e in school, l am sure. He propounded some wonderfully queer translations t he certainly won fame as King Aeneas in the Latin play. Allen is a member the French Club, the Latin Club and the Hi-Y Club. Caroline Dreschler has been a staunch commercialite and oft were the times e has handed us nickels across the counter in the school store. Caroline belongs the Shorthand Club. Time outlu It is of course Doris Lyon rcfereeing a game. Vlfhen we ink of Doris we think of basketball for she has been one of its most ardent d enthusiastic supporters. Doris belongs to Chorus, French Club, ,lunior allege Club and played on the basket ball and soccer teams. As we have midgets, so we have giants. Yes, I mean Harold Hutchinson. arold or Hutch has been best known as a Varsity football player and Presi- nt of the Radio Club. Elizabeth Lally has been well liked by everyone who has known her. But e rues the day that found her in Miss Hamilton's linglish ll' class and we ust admit the aforesaid class never spared liletty on oral themes. Alas, Miss amilton found outfall about l9letty's terrible pranks in class--but Betty was a od sport. She is a member of the Shorthand and junior College Clubs. And if you hear a lot of noise it will bc Donald Ellis! One could easily ess Donald never had to be taught how to be a cheer leader and he has certainly en one of our best. He has also been able to handle French with ease tlfsb. nyway he knew what Hanfaires de coeur were. VVhy? licause he had so any, of course. He is a member of the Boys' Glee Club. Class Football Team, dio and French Clubs. And girls, Lionel Nobert is next, to be sure the handsomest shiek that ever cl the corridors of M. H. S. Lionel has been a line varsity football player and ill never be forgotten as leading man in Adam and lfvaf' Lionel is 'l'reasurer the Senior Class. a member of the Props and Paints and the Ciilee Club. .VX ble record, Lionel. .lfveryone knows Mary Sciarra and Nlary knows everyone. She has been ll of vim and enthusiasm all through high school and is Secretary of the Senior lass, Secretary of the Spanish Society and a member of the Shorthand Club. llflildred Lamphere evidently does not believe silence is golden, or maybe 's because she has never tried it. Mildred has been a mainstay of the Shorthand lub and a good friend of Nliss l'ickard. klildred was President of the junior iortlrand Club and Yice-l'resident of the Senior Shorthand Club. He is ever so small. His name is lfdwin tiershefski. Eddie is the talented naster of the ivoriesf' our class musician. Another achievement of his tthe lattainable to most of usj has been his continual string of .Ks which he has anaged to get for four years. flood things come in small packages, liddie. Little Helen Bues has tripped it lightly through the corridors for four years. ositively Helen will never grow up. She has enjoyed her Senior English ass immensely. She is a member of the junior College Club, Latin, French. 77 1926 SPECTRUM --- 192 Library, and Props and Paints. But still Helen has had a hard time convinc people she is a grown-up Senior. And who talks so incessantly if it is not Madeline Hebor! She really noted for her remarkable and continued use of the language. She surely has l many amorous adventures, and a good deal to say about them. For furtl information ask anyone who registered in lO5. She is a member of the Choi and Shorthand Club. lklarjorie Hathaway won her name through her readings, and ever sir Freshman days we can remember her contributing to many programs in hi school. Most important was her part in the Lottery Man. She is a meml of the Props and Paints, Debate Society, Library Club and Glee Club. And next is George Fox. A man of importance has he been. George u. to play in the Orchestra but has found that being lfditor of the Spectrum President of the Debating Society and having a host of other offices keeps h too busy for it. George is also a member of the Board of Control of the Stud Council, the Boys' Glee Club, Hi-Y and was a member of the Triangular Deba Qt course that winsome smile belongs to Anita Schuman. Evidently s thinks that it speaks for her, because Anita seldom does. XN'e hear that enjoys Chemistry Lab, though. I The Honorable -lohn Budd. XYhere would we have been it John did have such a good business head? He has been Business Manager of the Penn and on the Business Staff of the HS1JCCtl'L1lTlii. And we mustn't forget that .To was President of the Sophomore class and a member of the Triangular Debati Team. ' Another tall, strapping fellowu is VVilliam Klclienna. Bill's voice has be heard in 111211137 a debate and was heard when there was no debate. In fact always got his word in. Nevertheless, he has been one of the busiest fellows, t He is a member of the Pennant Staff, the Spectrum Staff, Props and Pain Debate. Hi-Y. Student Council, and was in the cast of Adam and Evaf, noble record indeed, Bill. Another celebrity we have to offer is Dorothea Schmelzer. Quae quib ante-feram ? QVVhat shall T say hrst?b There has been nothing of importan of which Dot has not been leader or been connected with. And she had be scholastically high too, with honors all along. She is Vice-President of t Senior Class, Girls' Vice-President of S. G. A., Associate Editor of the Pennai Associate Editor of the Spectrum'l and belongs to practically every other socie in the school. A record seldom attained, you'll agree. Mary Coe is noted for her musical laugh more than anything I know She delights her'registration l'O0111 with it and keeps them convulsed. She h been a diligent worker in everything she has undertaken, and is a member the Junior College, Library, Latin and French Clubs and Student Council. The girl with the curls is Dorothy Hayden. Her locks have always be the envy of all the girls. Never have we seen a truer application of love n love my dog. The only time her pet and she were separated was school hour She belongs to the Agassiz, Art Club and Chorus. 78 926 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 Doris Taylor is next. She has been very quiet and reserved. But you ,uld hear her recite history. Besides having a good scholastic record she is a --mber of the junior College Club, Latin Club and Chorus. James Harvey would never be taken for a Senior if appearances were con- lered, would he? And Harvey's questions that he would ask Miss Foskett h as 'fVVhen was the NNar of l8l2?' supplied much merriment for the History ass. Harvey has been busy carrying out his duties as Secretary of the Latin ub. Assistant Business Manager of the Pennant and a member of the Debate ciety. Ella N ag is noted for her lengthy recitations and oft was the time in History ass when she finished her recitation Miss 'Eoskett would ask Now what is the int you were trying to get at ?U and Ella would begin again. She is a member 'the Props and Paints, .lunior College Club and Pennant Staff. Mary Flynn has never made herself very conspicuous but she has always en an A pupil in English and Chemistry. She is a member of the Debate and ench Clubs, Interclass Basketball and Soccer Teams. Take your time, for the next victim is Howard Reid. Howard enjoyed his nior English and Virgil classes. He was a member of the cast of the Latin y, too. ':W'hat would you like PU asks Ethel Petrick. Ethel has been a normal ident and besides her school work has found time to clerk afternoons. VVe ve admired her easy way of accomplishing much Ruth Cameron is one of our prettiest, liveliest commercial students. She is been one of Mr. French's right hand men tladies in this casej, and could be en in the store most any time. She is a member of the Junior College and iorthand Clubs. Gladys Baldwin has lead a rather quiet life as far as activities are concerned, it she has more than made up for it in making the honor roll as she has done. Harold Bonell was never slow at Latin but the rapidity with which he learned e adjective vlarus, CLARA, clarum, was quite amazing. He is a member the Junior class football team and is a member of Chorus and Glee Club. And who is next but Gladys King. She has been a commercial student. seems that her favorite pastime has been hiking, for many were the times e have seen her, knicker-clad, trudging the streets and suburbs of Meriden. ie is a member of the Shorthand Club, Props and Paints and Soccer team. VValter Tormey's primary interest in school has been sports. 'XValter won is fame on the basketball Hoor and was Captain of this year's team. Besides pis he has played football and baseball. Next in line is Doris Goodwill. Doris has been a high standing pupil, a iark at English and well known by the class. Most conspicuous was her part n l'The Lottery Man. She is a member of the Pennant Staff, the Junior College lub, Latin Club, Library Club and Props and Paints. Edward johnson and Howard Vincent may well be mentioned together for ieir activities exactly coincide. First of 'all they have both been prominent gures on baseball, basketball and football Varsity teams. Secondly, they were oth owners of Black Beautyy' the wonder racing car, in which they wore out 79 I i l 1926 --- SPECTRUM --- 192 the road between Meriden and Nashua. 'I'hirdly, they have won wide reputati in school tand incidentally'in the officej by their elusiveness on Wecliiesc afternoons. Celebrities, to say the least, Charles l'erkins has been an interesting fellow. klie certainly enjoyed he. ing such a little boy use such big words in lfnglish class. You should be orator. Charlie. He also made the Yarsity football team and was a fine play Phyllis Brown, we will always remember as one of the jolliest girls in class. She is a member of the junior College Club, .Xrt Club and Chorus. XN'e certainly admire Yeronica Doran a great deal for she has a lot of plu and has always worked hard and done her best in her studies. She is a meml of the junior College Club, Latin Club and the Art Club. Helen Lee has always found fun in her classes and has enjoyed Fren, perhaps most of all. She is a member of the junior Shorthand Club, the Colle and French Club. VVe'll admit Helen Burke is small but she has not been entirely hidden. lf can never think of Helen but what we can see her delivering a debate, as s used to on Freshman and Sophomore Inter-class teams. She is a member the junior College Club, Debate Society and the .-Xgassiz .Xssociation. By thy blush men tand girlsj shall know thee, Clifford Benander. Cliffo is a handsome chap and a modest one. But when the linglish oral theme col mittee gave him the topic of My First Romance he completely outwitted th tthe girls were furiousj by giving the first romance he'd ever rcud. Clifford w a Varsity football player. Bernice Athorne is another girl who has spent a good deal of her time dox on the Ciym Hoor. She has played on inter-class basketball teams for four yeai Bernice is also a member of the French and Shorthand Clubs. james Mastriano, alias Rlusty must not be passed over lightly. His woi crime was his incurable habit of running up to Study Hall fifth periods to ch with Dot. Dorothy Race it seems has never been as interested in school as she h been with outside affairs and consequently is not known very much. Howev Dot has made a diligent effort in her studies. Bernadette Bartholomew has had a good time fooling and talking for fox years but she has no outstanding misdeed on her criminal record so we'll excu her. She is a member of Chorus and Shorthand Club. i .Xnna Dorin, 'itall and thin with fiaxon hair. .-Xnna is another one of tt members of l05 tit seems to have severalj who ever delight in talking durii registration period. Her theme isn't amours'y but she manages to find enoug school news to keep lO5's ears pricked up. NVanda Stazewski has taken Shorthand and typewriting along with lit general course and has been a fine Botany student. This has kept her bus' enough. 1 Bashful Regina Hartman has been so quiet that we have almost neva heard her voice, except in recitations. She has been greatly interested in Spanis and is a member of the Shorthand Club, the .-Xrt Club and Chorus. 80 9 2 6 SPECTRUM 1 9 2 6 Aha, Herbert llatrill. Herbert is always trying to convince somebody of iething and his method of attack is endurance-and Herbert generally wins. is one of the room-sixers and consequently is a noble veteran of the chalk- -eraser Fights. lf ever you want some hard work try and play forward when W'anda Las- zewski is a guard. You won't have a bit of a show and you probably will 76 hit the floor several times in the bargain, so l warn you. VVanda is a nber of the Art, .Xgassiz and College Clubs and Chorus. The only time we can remember of getting a glimpse of Marie Graycar was en she waited on the lunch counter. .Nt other times she has remained quite den. Marie belongs to the Art Club, Shorthand Club and ,lunior College Club. Ah, where is wandering Saul today? sang Miss Fisherdick in woeful ents when Saul tioldner failed to appear on the scene one afternoon. But igs became most woeful when she remembered that it was Vlfednesday afternoon nd the rest l leave to your imagination. Despite this offense Saul has been amous Varsity football player and is considered one of the handsome and flljlflii by the fair sex. So there, Saul! .Xt least we remember .Xllyn Chabot enjoyed the plays in his junior English ss. Allyn has read a great deal and unloaded much of his book lore on the 's, which he kept in hysterics over Stephen Leacock's latest literary spasm. A man of affairs and perhaps the busiest of the class is XVilliam VVilkinson. t he has his reasons, for it is no small job to be Editor-in-chief of the Pennant l make the paper as successful as he has done. Bill is a member of the literary if of the Spectrum, the Boys' Cilee Club, Debate Society, French Club, l.atin ib, Props and Paints and is Boys' Vice-President of the S. ii. A. Celia Ulshefski is a commercial student. I have heard, too, that she is a rk at History and has been one of Yilla Franca's Spanish prodigies. Althine VVilbur has been a high standing pupil but other than that we have 'er heard much of her. .Xlthine has been very well liked by those who know . She is a member of the hlunior College and Latin Clubs. Florence Young we hear enjoys hiking, too, and will be a teacher some day. e is a member of the Glee Club. Albert Sprafke is a well liked chap, although he has been rather quiet. Jert once confessed in English that he went out for track but met a disastrous l trying to scale the hurdles. However, Albert has been a success 'on Class otball, Basketball and Baseball teams. Wfe always remember Mary Solek in the act of furnishing her classmates h candy, be it study hall or Shorthand class. Mary took her turn in the iool store, too. About the only thing we can tell about Sydney Forster is that he had an ra good time in Business English writing notes to the fair sex. Sydney is her fair himself so that accounts for it, perhaps. Hail, Elmer Nitsche! lflmer has been a hero of the gridiron having played the Varsity for two years and topping that with the Captaincy this year. Grace Matthews came to us from I-lillhouse High, New Haven, two years . She has been so quie that many have not known her well. 81 1926 SPECTRUM' --- 19 Mary Kelly has been a diligent Commercial student and by her abilit that line has been working in an office. Helen Connaughton has been interested in basketball and has been a pl on class teams. She is also a member of the Glee Club. Juliette Hamel has never been in the lime light and about all we know a her is that she is a commercial student. And there is quiet Martha Spencer. Martha we have almost never h from. She hardly ever even speaks in registration room while the rest of r 106-well, they might well follow Martha's example. PART H There is one fellow in this school who deserves a great deal of credit what he has done while up here. Unfortunately several members of the who do not know him intimately are inclined to under-estimate his ability. is one of the finest chaps in the senior class, a leader in several activities, president of the Student General Association. George Parker has held a nui of responsible positions but has remained the same modest, retiring fellow he was before. As a delegate to the school board, he handled the dau proposition in an admirable manner. He was associate-editor of the Spectri sports editor of the Upennantfi and captain of one of the Triangular Debt Teams. Little Clixci Ninkwitz has the reputation of being one of the best nat girls in the class. She always has a smile for everybody. She has been a in many school organizations, and was clerk of the S. Cl. A. A sweet little earned her a position as pianist for the Girls' filee Club. Maidda Stevens and Florilla Lasley both have a peculiar knack of impres upon the faculty their worth as A students. Their report cards look exercises on the first letter of the alphabet. Both have led very quiet live high school, however. Dave, have you got my suit pressed yet ? Surely everyone knows David Jacobs, Gerschefski's ardent campaign manager. Dave once delightec English class with an oral theme on the press-pantsn system. A regular ta made man, don'tcha know? The next victim is our plunging, smashing halfback, Carl Liedtke. you ever notice Fat laugh? He shivers. Carl had a wonderful time xx the team went to Nashua, and has continued his tactics in Meriden. About whom do you suppose I am speaking when T say he is good-natu witty, athletic, plucky, and persevering? VVhy, Adam Panas, of course. M. S. is proud of Adam, proud of the spirit which prompted hi1n to go out the football team every one of his four years up here, gradually overcoming kinds of obstacles in his path. Through no fault of his own, he sat on' sidelines much of the time, but his heart was in there fighting to help the t win. Adam did not confine himself to football alone, however. He we member of Coach Cofi'in's Second Team during the basketball season, and pla on class baseball teams. If you want to have some fun on a picnic, take Ruth Tyler along. Rut a good sport, and has been quite popular up here. She sang in the Chorus the Girls' tilee Club. 82 1 i 4 Z6 --- SPECTRUM --- 1926 There is another singer around the building somewhere. llere she is, Dot afke. Dot warbled for the Glee Club, and at the same time handled the ileyan boys etiiciently. She was also a member of the Pennant Stalii. Bruno Fontanella was a necessary member of the Spanish Club, but busied self most of the ,time with athletics. He helped on the class baseball and 'etball teams. VVho's doing all the yelling in the back of the room? Oh, it's Ciertrude ner, one of our cheer leaders. Gert flashed some stylish gowns during her f at high school. Anna Knopp can always furnish a good excuse whenever something happens. t's a good trait. any way, Anna. She was a member of the French Club, Junior College Club, the Agassiz, and the Chorus. Hail, the captain of our state champion girls' basketball team, Helen Fred- k. Helen has played a stellar game for three years, and this year was ted captain. She was also in the Cllee Club and the Chorus. Next comes our Spectrum typist, .Xrt Ciast. -Xrt thought he was quite a with the women until one cold winter's night ,he was fooled and forgotten 1 member of the opposite sex. More power to you, Art. Mary Agnes Lyons is a peculiar conglamaration of sense, nonsense, pep, ecl. noise, and wit. They call her hlazz. Leaping Lena might be even 'e appropriate. At any rate, A'-lazzu xvas'quite a cheer leader and a real cetball enthusiast. There is at least one person up here who has had considerable trouble with 's Lyons, and that is Harry Fightlin. Harry thought l'ennant reporters ht to be admitted to basketball games free of charge. But when Mary was he door, Bubbles changed his mind. Harry was a very prominent member our class, however. Besides being in many clubs and societies, he was on HPennant staff and the Triangular Debating Team. Little Miss Critic next takes the stand. Marie Lussier won quite a reputa- as a critic in her lfnglish class. Marie was a hard worker and showed is of being an athlete. She played on the class soccer team in her third r and belonged to several clubs and societies. Marie's seat-1nate in English was Claire LaCroix. Claire once delighted us li a theme on 'TX Trip to New York. Speech is silver but silence is golden. That must be the maxim Maude s has lived up to during her high school career, for we have heard very e of her. She was a commercialite and an ardent supported of Miss kards' Shorthand club for two years. Another soft pedal is Salvatore Ceresale. l can't say much about him except t the Spanish Club considered him a valuable member. Tripping the light fantastic is liirace Quinn's idea of exercise and fun. lce is certainly very graceful and was voted the best dancer in the class. She s a member of the Shorthand Club and played on class basketball teams. Big, bad, bold, Bill Kavanaugh is termed one of the best-natured fellows '26, XVilliam was a fixture on class baseball and basketball teams, but 83 1926 --- SPECTRUM W 19 received plenty of competition as a tennis player. Bill has a wonderful s of humor, as members of his lfnglish class can testify. It was a pleasant surj to all of us when we learned that Bill had been chosen leading 1112111 for Senior Play. Dramatics was new to him, but he handled his part admirabl f'Youire late, says Mr. Prouty. What of it P replies Tom. Tom Mui bought an alarm clock at Grant's, but it never alarmed him. Sessions x Toms favorite pastime, but he also found time to write for the Pennant play alternate lon one of Miss Fisherdick's debating teams. He was in Latin Club play and was a member of the French Club, the Debating Society, Props and Paints Society, and the Boys' Glee Club. Linked with Murphy's name in the history of Miss Doyle's Virgil cla. that of Norman Ppurgdorf, next to Pellegrino the greatest pessimist in the Tom and Norman caused Miss Doyle more worry than all the rest of her c put together. Norm has identiiied himself with practically every activit the school and is our class orator. It is useless to event attempt to desc Norm,' or his career in high school. He had a good vocabulary and a spark sense of humor, both of which he used to the best of advantage. It is saf say that he did even less studying than Goldner, and yet he received high ma He is ending his high school days as manager of the Senior Play and presic of the VVomen-Haters' Club. Dorothea Glaser spent most of her time running around with her commei friends, girls, of course. She kept accounts straight in the store and poun the typewriter at leisure moments. She was a member of the Shorthand and was class treasurer during her second year. Next, we have our Red Bridge swimming ace, Dorothy Snyder. ln, oral theme one day, Dot told us all about her adventures down there. Dot s' in the Girls' Glee Club, and was a member of the Debate society, the lui College Club, and the Spanish Club. 1 Many a fair damsel has fallen prey to Bob Fisher's sheikish ways. always introduced himself, took off his hat, and that was all that was necess One look at that face and that beautiful crop of hair would convince any girl Bob was alright. Fisher didn't waste much of his time on studies, but wa member of the Props and Paints society and the Senior Basketball Team. . A stranger joined our ranks last fall. Rough and ready, but always gc natured Moe Henken came to us from Hartford High, and has gained m friends during his sojourn here. He was a member of the Spanish Club. Edith Peterson must have been made of giggles. :Xt any rate she laug her way through high school. Ede was active in school affairs, being a mem of the Props and Paints Society, the Art Club, the .Xgassiz and the Shorth: Club. Ebba Olsen may never set the world on tire but she's sure to have ple, of friends. Ebba really enjoyed studying but did not confine herself to i subjects.

Rocco Petrucelli took the part of a disgusted sehooll in a short sketch given at one of the meetings of the Latin Club. According 8-l Z6 SPECTRUM --- 1926 he said then, Rocco is certainly not in love with Julius, but he liked Latin enough to take Cicero. Rocco lent his voice to the Boys' Glee Club and r got it back.

Eddie Gibson certainly did his bit toward making baseball a success at d. S. He played a stellar game at shortstop and third base for three years captained the team in his senior year. I-Ie was also a member of the etball squad and the junior Shorthand Club. ,Elizabeth Freeman managed to keep pretty well out of the spotlight through- lher high school course. She is by nature a quiet girl but has ability. She a member of the -lunior College Club for three years and sang in the chorus. Please be quiet Zlllil clon't disturb the artist. Priscilla Neal earned a job as editor of the Spectrum and her work deserves commendation. Priscilla M r. Bollman had several arguments concerning the Pennant, but her pleadings e of no avail. She was a member of the Art Club, the Shorthand Club, the Debating Society. I don't know much about Ernest Fontanella, except that he was an account- bookkeeper, or something like that, in the school store. He was a member ie Spanish Club also. Robert Gilluly may be a little guy, but he can play basketball, just the same. seniors used him as a regular, and he played baseball with his class team second year. He was one of the chief supporters of the session room. Nick Roberts doesn't seem to be able to hold a grouch more than ,live minutes, natter how hard he tries. He always sees the bright side of life and makes gs easier for his companions. Nick chose the Shorthand Club to take up t little sparc time he had. 'It isn't much of a puzzle to ind out where or how Carl VVirth and Norm iens, the Broad street sheiks, spend their Sunday nights. lust walk down t Main streetland you will see them mogging slowly up the hill, returning n a heavy date. Both Norm and Carl interested themselves in class etics at high school. lFlorence Garrity has been described as the wild, Irish rose. I don't know r wild she is, but she certainly is Irish. Her sweet voice helped out the lus for four years. Florence was also a member of the Art Club, the Camera b, the junior College Club, and the Agassiz Association. 85 1926 SPECTRUM --- 192 A .-Xttention, seniors! Here comes our proud basketball manager, Hern Dressler. Hymie'i handled the class team quite efficiently even though tl didn't win a game. Dressler was 'Miz l3'routy's star victim when it came board work. He went to the board just three times during his course in t onometry. Herman Gritz was a wonder at delivering written oral themes in his ling class. He took great delight in scientific subjects and was president of Aga- tor two years. He was also a member of the Shorthand Club and played on class basketball team. joseph Zuchowski was another member of Miss l ickard's Shorthand Cl ln fact. he was president of the junior organization. joe used to sell us tick with which to buy our hot-dogs and other necessities until the new luchro system went into eitect. Miss Piekard must have some enrollment in her two clubs. l find seve seniors who have spent happy hours at the meetings and social functions of clubs. Here's cute little Flossie Ketelhut, one of the 57. Florence was a a member of the junior College Club for three years. Evelyn Nevin, president of the Senior Shorthand Club, was quite a hist shark. VVhen the class was dead and hopeless, seemingly, Evelyn would ar and give us a thorough and interesting discourse on the subject at hand, a consequently start us oif again. She was amply rewarded for her etiorts. Still another member of the Shorthand Club is Herman Bendfeldt. It i question in my mind whether Heian belongs simply because he wants to impr his shorthand. You see there are some attractive girls in the club. Herm was also a member of the track team. Raymond Custy, alias Red, has not bothered particularly with his studi while serving his time at high school. The class baseball team enjoyed l presence for a couple of years, and he was also in the Boys' Cilee Club. l Is there anyone who does not know Herbert Frank? This all import! business man was Mr. Chappell's chief worry. tHe had plenty of other. Herb'l made use of his vocabulary extraordinary ttierman, jewish, and Englis much to the chagrin of his German teacher. Frank handled the financial ei of the Spectrum and displayed his wares on the Triangular Debating Team. Here is one you perhaps don't know very well. Ralph Grussi spends md of his time reading and storing up knowledge. and we have heard very little him these four years. Let me introduce Xliss Adelaide Hall, famed for her masculine tendencic Ad hails from the country, but I understand she never walked the distance night alone. j'ever taste any of those biscuits Sollie Zietz sells? They're not half ba just a little hard, that's all. Sollie was kept pretty busy outside of school ai didnit iind much time to spend on extra-curriculum activities. A good-natured fellow is jolm Blaehuta. jolm confined his efforts athletics and made quite a record for himself. He was on almost every cla team and was a member of the Varsity baseball team. 86 926 SPECTRUM --- 1926 'WVho's that over there in the Ford? Oh, that's Charlie Molloy. And o is that beside him? Oh, never mind., That's his business. It surely isg arlie is never alone. He stayed out of school a couple of weeks last year th a broken arm. l-le said he broke it cranking the Lizzie. She must have d a hard neck, Charlie. 'Mary Smith often entertained her English class with exciting ?', oral themes, kind your mother used to make. Nevertheless, Mary was quite active at iool. She was on the Triangular Debating team this year, and a member of Girls' Glee Club, the Debating Society, and the Agassiz. Another Smith is our friend Betty, who lives in Tracy. Betty is full of pep tl quite popular. She once let out a yell in a Senior class meeting that brought r to everyone's attention. Betty is a member of the junior College Club, and 'retary of the Debating Society. T can't find much 'of anything to say about Edwin johnson, oh, no, not our torious Eddie.', This is another one. Edwin kept his nose straight in front hi1n and followed it through his four years up here. Even a third 'lohnson presents himself for recognition. Ray is perhaps a tle better known. Ray played on the basketball team and was a member of e Camera Club and the Boys' Cllee Club. Wfilbur Lisee is a prominent member of the Shorthand Club and wields a flcked pencil. He scored a few points now and then on class basketball teams. HA pretty girl, a witty girl. a girl who loves to smile., Thus we describe argaret Brewer, one of Miss Stowell's chief assistants tand competitors.J largaret was responsible for the columns of jokes in the Pennant, but we nnot hold that against her. Peggy was engaged in a long list of activities, d maintained a high scholastic average. She surprised us by turning to the tge and taking part in the Senior play. Ernest Clark has proved the jinx of many a basketball team. lNhen it oked as though a game were lost, Ernie would put on a little more steam, fop in a couple of baskets, and wait for the referee's whistle. Aside from lsketball, Spivots was a member of the Spanish Club and the Hi-Y Club. i Another basketball star, only of the opposite sex, is Clara Olsen. Clara as indispensable on class teams and finally joined the varsity squad. She also layed on class soccer teams and was a member of the Spanish Club and Short- 1nd Club. 1 1 Those of us who were in Esther Eowleris English class counted it a real lrivilege to listen to her oral themes and secretaryls reports. They were as riginal as lX'lurphy's comb, and always amused us. Esther was in the chorus, He Agassiz, and the Art Club. ' ' VVe have not heard much of :Xrline Mills during her stay at high school, ut I hardly think she has been engaged in any mischief. Arline counts the uekels for Mr. French and deals out oral theme paper to seniors. She was .1 1ember of the Art and Shorthand Clubs. Nelson Mellin has not distinguished himself for anything in particular at rhool. Hes, a good chap and a nice fellow to become acquainted with. Nellie 87 1926 --- SPECTRUM --- 192 often entertained his physics class last year with delightful and even extraordinz accounts of his radio. He gets his current from the telephone.

If that means any increase the range or volume of his voice, I hope he loses it immediately, for he certaii does not need it. He's small, but'oh, my! Bernice Hobson says that she cannot understand how her quotation in Spectrum is at all appropriate. At the same time, however, everyone e seems to think it suits her perfectly.

If a vote were taken to determine the best-natnred girl in the Class of ' Barbara Kilbourne would win in a walk. She is almost always the same, a that is one reason why she has so many friends. But did you ever see her in lit of rage? Qlohn Budd has good reason to remember such an instance, but would not be well to relate the details here. l3ob's pretty little smile was absei and hlohn soon realized that all was not well in the l'ennant Room.

Wllf Doi 'I HAydQN Oration XURRLXN BURUDORIT America, at present, is facing another crisis. .'Xmerica, within must f' the significant prohibition question, check the rising tide of crime and improve l moral standard. America, without, must encounter responsibilities of memb ship in the Xlforld Court: the entrance into which will mean either an adval toward higher ideals of civilization, or perhaps the sacrifice of some of revered doctrines. Time only can tell the outcome. America, in the past l remained firm and withstood every shock and she will not be found lacking befc these problems of the 20th century. But, America has revealed more than her strength and her courage. l unfiinching constancy has always been an asset in her undertakings. She l been consistent and tenacious in her endeavors. lt was not because of presti and inherited influence that our forefathers succeeded, but because they hat definite aim. They did not wait for success to come and elevate them, but kn it must be attained through toil and perseverance. These qualities of the pione of our nation are by no means obsolete now, but should be- foremost in characteristics of the present day youth if he hopes to be a success. VVe, the class of 1926, who have completed four years of study are soon make a change, and, in sight of this fact, should hold before our eyes the fo fathers of this democratic nation. Surely in the building of a democratic :QOVCI ment, there were times of despondency and desperation, but 'always there loon up before them, the beacon for which they were striving for success. lt xx attained, and now the succeeding generations are enjoying this matchless govei ment, which they founded. Thus we should try to emulate these men by setti up a lofty ideal and by striving for it assiduously until it is attained. Wihenex times of discouragement come, we should always keep the indefatigable persev ance of our predecessors before us. .-Ns .-Xmericans who have been fortunate enough to live at the present ti and enjoy the benefits of this democracy, for which our forefathers strove arduously to perfect, let us use our time to the best advantage. 'Time past, gone, and it can never be employed. The future is doubtful, the only thi we are sure of is the present. lt is sure that we have ended one period the field of our education and that we have amassed a certain amount of knox edge 3 but we should not hope for easy occupations and tasks, but should rejoice being stronger, and more capable for the duties in hand. Then as we compl the duties that face us from time to time we shall more and more be amazed the richness of life. XN'e must have stamina made up of courage, ambition a mental effort to reach the goal we are striving for. Then we shall never f into a state of complacency, because we will have our desire set for a plai which is far beyond the realms of this earth. Thus, having finished four years in high school we subsequently look ii the future and at first it may be with timidity. The future is not to be feared but to be sought, because there lies the fulfillment of our lives. In this advanc civilization there are more problems to be coped with and the only way of solvi them is through real, earnest work. lt is for us who are entering upon a n stage in our life's journey to see that we are the right caliber!

When we came into the Kleridex High School four years ago, we had welded but few links into our chain o knowledge. Wie have worked diligently since then and have gradually surinountec the many difficulties which confronted us. All here tonight have snccessfullr completed a chain of four strong links. lN'e realize that we could not have don this, had it not been for the untiring efforts of our many friends and advisors. In the first place, we are indebted to our parents, whose sympathy anc encoluragement have been of great value to us. They have made many sacrifice' that we might complete our high school course. Secondly, we owe thanks to our Principal and the school authorities, wh have managed the school affairs so ably. We are grateful to our teachers fo their patience and faithful guidance of our work. To them. especially, we ar indebted for our success. Next, we are thankful to the taxpayers, who have made possible our educa tion by their expenditures. l'o all of these, our friends, then-to our parents, our Principal, the schoo authorities, our teachers, and the taxpayers,-we wish to express our sincer gratitude and thanks. But before going forth from the halls of our dear old .Xlma Mater, we mus leave a few words with the under-classmen. XYe have tried in our course t set an example for them to follow. XYe hope that they will take up the tasl we now leave behind, and always be loyal to the ill. H. S. May they earnestl continue until they, like us, have reached the goal of graduation. Now the time is fast approaching when we must separate. Some of us wil, wander afar and engage in various vocations. Perhaps we may never all come together again even in a class reunion. But, nevertheless, we shall always keel in our hearts the remembrance of the many happy days we have spent here. The moment of departure is coming steadily on.

Colloquium The Hctlllfbtlllllllllu is a society which has recently been organized under the 'ection and supervision of the Latin department of the lligh School. Plans for me kind of a Latin Club have long been considered, and this year they have ttured into this highly interesting organization. The Colloquium is an instrument by means of which much research work d other things connected with the study of Latin may be carried on outside the classroom. Besides the fact that the regular school period furnishes very tle time for outside study, an organized club has the additional advantage of ing able to bring together all these interested in antiquity regardless of the class which they belong. The object of the Colloquium is to promote interest in the study of Latin erature, and the manners and customs of ancient times. Furthermore it helps bring the students in close touch with some of the very fascinating archaeolog- l excavations, which are now being performed on extensive scales and throwing imination on some of the things which have been puzzling historians for nturies. This research has proved not only of interest to the students, but it s also been very valuable in the regular Latin work. This year some excellent papers have been prepared by the members of the tb, and illustrated by slides. -VX moving picture on the life of 'lulius Caesar was nted from the Klein Co., New York, and shown in lyleriden for the benefit of ttm and English students. ,Xll fourth year Latin pupils are eligible to the Colloquium and all third year idents whose average is above SOM, and second year students who have an erage above SSW.

Up to this point, indeed, have we all agr that, all the world's a stage and all the men and women merely players, in mood of joyousness have we enacted the Hseven ages of our school life, a with a triumphant realization of success we look to better and more responsil parts in the drama of the world outside. But it is not altogether, with a feeling of confidence and audacity that leave the halls of Meriden High School forever. In spite of that bold affronte so characteristic of modern youth, a certain degree of timorosity clutches at hearts-a sudden helplessness sweeps over us at the thought of what the d future may hold in store. Until now, each one of us has counted to himself one of a distinct body, all the members of which were working for a comm end. but now that goal is reached, we are all released from any such ties a left to our own device. either to drift about aimlessly at length to be dash against the rocks of failure or else to swim steadily along the tide of diligei and be carried far out on the sea of success. Both courses are open to us-a how well we know and how often have prominent and successful men of affa returned to our weekly assemblies to caution us against the ways of idleness a to advise us to make the most of our present youth. and thus be well assur of a place of esteem in that sphere of great 1nen and women. How well realize what a serious ordeal is our lot! And though at present, our state mind is somewhat dubious, nevertheless, we are determined to strike out wi a will for where thereys a will there's a way. So it has been the purpose of this book to recount the deeds and daring our high school days, and to preserve the archives of all that we have cherish at Meriden High School so that our friends and underclassmen may have share in the pleasures which we have enjoyed, and so that, ultimately, we t members of the class of nineteen hundred and twenty-six, may through th vivid pages review the days of our youth and in a blissful dream of memori live over again four of the happiest years of our lives.
