The buildings, eTc., seemed Tamiliar and suddenly I recalled ThaT I had graduaTed Trom The Meriden I-Iigh School some nineTeen years ago. My curiosiTy being aroused, I decided To see whaT had happened To my cIassmaTes. BeTore I could conTinue my Traveling iT was necessary Tor me To sTop in a gas sTaTion along The way. ATTer TooTing my horn incessanTIy Tor Tive minuTes or more, I Tinally succeeded in arousing some- one, and To my surprise I learned ThaT This was a new Ford sTaTion recenTIy purchased by Lorraine Graham and Marion Yale. As iT had been a long Time since I had seen Them IasT, They were quiTe willing To Tell m-e abouT some OT The kids IT seemed ThaT The I-Iigh School had IosT a greaT many OT iTs prominenT Teachers buT These places were capably Tilled by Doris Bolduc, Dean oT The Girls and LaTin Teacher, Mildred Goldner, hisTory Teacher, Viola Salamandra, French Teacher, and IasT buT noT IeasT, The sTar oT The gym class, I-Ielen Flynn, as gym insTrucTor, While we were sTanding There, I heard a greaT deal oT splashing and upon invesTigaTing, I Tound nearby, Gladys Walker and Lois Church cheering a swimming relay. The conTesTanTs were Josephine Zima, DoroThea Kosischke, KaTharine ChaTTee and STaTia Pelcynsky, The IaTTer being in The lead. The waTer seemed very cool and inviTing, buT I couIdn'T sTay so I IeTT Tor The BiITrnore I-IoTeI. IYou see Meriden has grown some in regard To ThaT maTTer.l I was asTounded when I learned ThaT Nellie Alix was The proprieTress. The service was exceIIenT Tor she had a very willing corps OT employees which included Eleanor Secon, Mildred STone and Rose Scully as bellhops, Ellen STernberg as desk girl, and Jessie ShaTsky and Grace Krzeminski as waiTresses. As I have a Tailing Tor eaTing, I spenT a greaT deal oT Time in The dining room. Never have I regreTTed my craving so much, because I spenT The nexT Two days in bed. I aTTerwards learned ThaT MarTha Dulick was chieT cook. BuT in spiTe oT ThaT, my soiourn in bed was made guiTe comTorTabIe by The consTanT aTTenTion oT my nurse, MargareT SmiTh. IAs a Tip - iT you preTer good meals, I advise you To eaT aT Muriel Jensen's Tea Room. IT is a very aTTracTive place in New London and she caTers especially To all ocean-going TraveIers.I When I was again able To be around, I Took The bus Tor a sighT-seeing Trip. BeaTrice Doody was The announcer. EorTunaTeIy I goT a seaT nexT To Louise LauTer and learned Trom her ThaT she, MargareT Conreaux and Eunice Birdsey had good jobs working in The Travelers Insurance Com- pany in I-IarTTord. She also Told me ThaT Eva Kaschub was The head oT a large and Thriving business college in New York CiTy, Trom which many of our Meriden I-Iigh School sTudenTs had graduaTed and now hold many imporTanT posiTions in The business world. I-Iere's wishing her success in every way. Louise happened To be going To The TheaTer, so I ioinecl her. We were ushered To our seaTs 42 llls'SilI5TIIIlOAlINIlllNllllllAlll9QlIlS3lISlIllI by Regina Zysk. The picTure was cerTainly excelIenT. RuTh Winkel and Florence Goldberg played The leading Teminine roles. l was especially pleased wiiTh The vaudeville. Norma Brenner sang and Tubby SmiTh and EsTher ThurrOTT presenTed a comedy skil. WhaT sTarsl Meriden should be proud OT Them. ATTer The show and a hearTy meal, we wenT To ReT FoeII's nighT club, The Morning Glory. Mary Ryan acTed as hOsTess and I cerTainly enjoyed myselT. When l reTurned To The hOTel, I Turned on The radio and much To my surprise I heard Marion Schee crooning a Iullaby. ATTer singing some oTher selecTion, The program was inTerrupTed by The announcer, who was Evelyn Donahue. She announced The nexT number, which was by a Tamous viOlinisT, Winilired Gardner, accompanied aT The piano by one OT Paderewski's rivals, DOniTa STahl. I like jazz buT This was excellenT music Tor my ears. ATTer Their number a cjuarTeT consisTing OT Edilh Wollschlager, EdiTh Wrinn, I-lelen WendT and I-lelen SmiTh rendered several selecTions. This was enough Tor one nighT so I reTired. The nexT day I wienT To The YOuTh Again beauTy parlor, which is run by none oTher Than Beryl Weisner. Like mosT beauTy experTs, Beryl enjoyed Talking and Trom her I learned ThaT Laura Cald- well was an exTremely prominenT socieTy woman in New York CiTy. SOcieTy demands Tim-e and Laura is johnny-on-The-spoT Tor everyThing. Marie Spellacy and Marian GaTTey have gone TO Europe To wriTe novels abOuT European I-ligh School girls. A wriTer isn'T much good wiThouT her secre- Tary To aTTend maTTers, so narurally Doris Dahlke was wiTh Them. Beryl asked me iT I remembered Those baskefball sTars, Emma Upham, Julia NeTTleTOn, Evelyn Baer and Alice SeTTerIund. Upon receiving an aTTirmaTive answer, she inTOrmed me ThaT They were playing proTessiOnaI baskeTball in Yalesville. ThaT prosperous Town is TorTunaTe, we musT say, in securing such a Tamous quarTeT OT players. Even liTTle people rise in This world. DOrOThy Mueller, Sadie OrenTlich and I-lazel BreiTzke have jobs on The Top Tloor OT The Empire STaTe Building. And speaking OT work in New York, I was sur- prised To know ThaT Mary I-logan and Anne Dressler Owned a large sTyle shop On FiTTh Avenue. Edna SchleTTe is a sTruggling arTisT in The big ciTy. Also Irene PieTras and her sisTer Adeline are do- ing a sisTer acT in one OT The hir shows. When I leTT The beauTy parlor, I walked down The Main STreeT and aT The corner OT STaTe STreeT was The SalvaTiOn Army band led by Laura JeweTT. She had become an OuTsTanding person in her work. STill TarTher down The sTreeT, I heard a musical echo and upon invesTigaTiOn I Tound ThaT iT was only AIberTa Schuerer's orchesTra playing Tor Arline PersikO's dancing class. She had many capable assisTanTs among whom were BeTTy POST, Teaching Toe dancing, Mildred Sahl, Grecian dancing in- sTrucTOr, and VicTOria Marianski, Tap dancing insTrucTor. During The course OT The lesson, Mildred Schumann, one OT The besT liTTle pupils, Tavored us wiTh a Toe dance. Give BeTTy a hand Tor her Tine work. I Then wenT down To The railroad sTaTion TO secure a TickeT TO WashingTOn and who should be peering ouT Trom behind The agenT's window buT Rose SheTTel. She Told me ThaT Geraldine WuT- erich was going TO Congress on The same Train I had planned TO Take so I looked Jerry up and had The pleasure OT riding down wiTh her. FirsT I aTTended Congress and Tound Meriden well represenTed. SenaTOrs BeTTy Donahue and Lucy Caruso spoke well on prohibiTion. The represenTaTives Trom ConnecTicuT were BernadeTTe Meyer, MargareT Garvey and Florence ConsTanTino. Mary D'Apice and Florence Del Vecchio have TuITilled Their desire To become Teachers by run- ning a kindergarTen school. Lois SmiTh has charge OT an orphan asylum. MosT OT The beauTiTul Tlowers used in The WhiTe I-louse are raised in Virginia CurTiss's green- house and The milk is purchased Trom Doris PriTchard's dairy.

This is The mosT imporTanT debaTe OT The season and arouses much inTeresT among The sTudenTs. IT is parTicipaTed in by a league OT Three schools, The MiddleTown High School, The ManchesTer High School and The Meriden High School. Each year These schools parTicipaTe in a compeTiTion Tor The Lines Cup, which is oTTered by The H. Wales Lines Tamily To The school which TirsT obTains Three legs on The cup - ThaT is To The school whose Two Teams win Three diTTerenT Times. AT presenT, ManchesTer has Two legs on The cup and MiddleTown has Two also, and alThough Meriden has noT yeT won any legs on The cup, neyerTheless, iT sTill has an opporTuniTy To do so. This year The NegaTive Team OT The Meriden High School wenT To MiddleTown To debaTe Their ATTirmaTiye Team, while Meriden's ATTirmaTive remained aT home To debaTe ManchesTer's NegaTive Team. The Topic Tor debaTe w-as Resolved: ThaT The Chain STores SysTem is deTrimenTal To The besT inTeresTs OT The American Public. AlThough Meriden losT boTh decisions, The Meriden Teams made a splendid showing, holding The inTeresT OT nearly I,OOO sTudenTs in boTh Meriden and Mid- dleTown. SouTh ManchesTer won boTh iTs debaTes and Tool4 The lead. Miss Elinor Michel and Miss Maidda STevens acTed as coaches OT The Two Teams. In preparaTion Tor The Triangular DebaTe, Meriden and WallingTord engaged in a debaTe in February on The same Topic. This debaTe was held beTore a small group OT sTudenTs insTead OT aT an assembly, due To The TacT ThaT The Triangular DebaTe would be aTTended by The maioriTy OT The sTudenT body. Meriden won The decision in Meriden and losT in WallingTord. There is probably no acTiviTy in High School which calls Tor more hard worlf, more acTual learn- ing, more nervous Tension, Than debaTing. The English DeparTmenT under Miss Eisherdick and The Forum under Miss McCarThy are TO be congraTulaTed Tor The splendid handling OT The immense Throng which aTTended The Triangular DebaTe in Meriden.

This book is noT only a sTudenT acTiviTy, a sTudenT record, buT has become a semi-oTTicial record oT The school. One copy oT The book is mainTained in The School Library, one copy is To be Touncl in The oTTice oT The Board oT EducaTion, one copy is reTained by The SuperinTendenT oT Schools and one copy is To be Tound in The possession OT each member oT The School Board. l:orTy Thousand people, The enTire populaTion oT The CiTy oT Meriden, are served by The Meri- den High School Annual. The Annual STaTT every year very graciously and graTuiTously presenTs The Meriden Morning Record and The Meriden Daily Journal wiTh The individual picTures oT each Senior. This makes possible The Tull pages oT picTures To be Tound in each oT Their papers in June in Their GraduaTion EdiTion. No charge Trom eiTher The press or The School auThoriTies is made by The Annual Tor This splendid adverTising. Four Thousand Tive hundred dollars, a loT oT money in any language, is saved To The parenTs oT The GraduaTing Class every year by The High School Annual. The Annual, Through iTs corps oT business experTs, secures Tor each Senior TiTTy phoTographs Tor The cosT oT Twelve dollars, Thus saving The price oT Three dozen phoTos. This means an individual saving oT TwenTy dollars To each Senior. No rebaTe is asked by The Annual Tor This saving. The cosT OT The Annual is a mere bagaTelle. The greaTesT possible cosT To any Senior is Two dollars Tor a copy. The Senior has Three years To raise The Two dollars because The Annual is a Three year projecT. IT The Sophomore will lay aside sixTy-seven cenTs his Sophomore year, The Jun- ior sixTy-seven cenTs his Junior year, Then The Senior would only have To raise sixTy-six cenTs his Senior year. This explodes The high cosT oT The Annual boogyman. BuT This expense is unnecessary. IT The class would make use oT The various money raising devices available, This expense could be meT aT class TuncTions. Two dollars a copy Tor The Annual over a period oT Three years or sixTy-seven cenTs a year Tor The Annual, is less Than noThing compared wiTh The expenses oT oTher acTiviTies in The school. Jun- ior Class rings cosT 5134.50 a piece, or 2501, more Than The Annual. They depreciaTe in value while The Annual increases in value as The years roll by. The Senior recepTion cosTs Sl.75 a couple, 25 cenTs less Than The Annual. IT The Senior aTTends The six Tormal dances given during his Three years in High School, iT would cosT him Sl0.50 Tor Tormal dances. This does noT consider a Tuxedo, whiTe Tlannels, evening gowns, slippers, Taxi Tares, eTc. lnTormal dances aT 25 cenTs each cosT The sTudenT S2 a year iT eighT are given. , TickeTs To plays and minsTrel shows are generally 50 cenTs each. This would cosT The sTudenT S3 during his school career, exclusive oT his cloThes, car Tares, eTc. One club in Meriden High charges 25 cenTs a monTh dues, which approximaTes The cosT oT an Annual in one year. Subscrip- Tion To The PennanT would cosT each Senior S3 during his school career. AThleTics each year cosTs 50 cenTs Tor an A. A. TickeT, 25 cenTs Tor home TooTball, 25 cenTs Tor home baskeTball and 25 cenTs To see home game wiTh BrisTol, 50 cenTs To see home baseball game, or a ToTal oT Sl.75 Tor home games which is only one-halT oT The picTure. To Tollow The Team ouT oT Town, would cosT a TorTune. This expense comes every year, a ToTal oT 55.25 Tor The Three year period To see halT oT The aThleTic evenTs. Added To This expense is The quesTion oT injury. Nobody ever broke a leg or goT aThleTic hearT reading The Annual. Nobody has To ride long dis- Tances in a bus or slosh around in a snow sTorm To read This book. The Annual never demands an exTra Tax oT 25 cenTs To see The home Team geT licked 45-9 by BrisTol. Caps and gowns cosT S2 Tor The privilege oT perspiring in Them Tor an hour and a halT. A class banqueT cosTs S2 a plaTe. Nobody ever goT indigesTion reading The Annual. PennanT pins and NaTional Honor SocieTy pins cosT 352 a piece. Nobody has To wear a S2 pin To prove ThaT he has read The Annual. The Annual hopes ThaT aThleTics, dances, plays, pins, The PennanT, caps and gowns are noT abolished because OT Their greaT expense.

Il? IITQDQCMITOATILXTITTINITTITIQLXTITLOIITQDSBJIT 'VATLTEDTICTORY SANTINA DoNATo Nineleen hundred years ago, during lhe greal age ol Julius Caesar, a cerlain playwrighl, Pub- lius Syrus, by name, wrole lhis proverb, Prospicere in pace oporlel quod bellum invel. l One musl in lime ol peace prepare lor war. l The words ol lhe old Roman are as lrue loday as lhey were during his own lime. Bul like a hidden voice mellowed by lhe dislance, lhe warlike, lileral meaning is changed. War does nol necessarily mean physical danger: il may signily lhe menlal lurmoil lo which each one ol us is subiecl, al one lime or anolher. Peace, lherelore, involves menlal lranquilily as well as physical salely. Classmales, lhis is our peace lime. Care-lree youlh has lillle in common wilh war. Yel lhere is one ballle which musl be loughl by everyone, no maller in whal slalion ol lile he lives. ll is lhe ballle ol lile, This is lhe slruggle lor which we should prepare al school and lhe war which should be loreseen in our youlh. Unlil loday, we have lollowed lhe ancienl advice ol Publius Syrus. Some ol us will conlinue lo do so, olhers musl join lhe ranks and begin lhe ballle. Each lacl, however, gleaned lrom lhe book ol knowledge will sland us in good slead. ll will serve as a lrusly weapon ol delense againsl all worldly enemies. Each moral lesson, laughl and re-laughl lo irresponsible minds, will come back lo save us lrom lhe lrap ol biller experience. These lacls and lessons have been eslablished by lhe lrials ol olhers. They have been wrillen in books so lhal lhe same process ol experimenlalion need nol be lollowed bul ralher supplemenled wilh newer knowledge ol our own. In lhis lighl il is easy lo see lhe value ol an educalion in preparalion lor lile. Opporlunily ol gaining lhis wonderlul knowledge has been ollered lo us lhrough lhe ellorls ol many. In some cases lhe ellorl has occasioned sacrilices, in olhers greal confidence and palience. Our lirsl obligalion is lo our parenls. Our indebledness lo lhem lor giving us lhe greal privi- lege ol lhese high school years can beller be lell lhan expressed. We appreciale lhe sacrilice on lheir parl. Their generosily has made lheir own ballle harder lo win. And, if we have disap- poinled lhem we are lruly sorry, bul if lheir lond hopes have been lullilled we are ready lo re- Ioice. Nexl, we would speak a word ol gralilude lo our Superinlendenl, our Principal and lo lhe school aulhorilies lor lheir wise and generous supervision ol lhis inslilulion. Their ellorls lo give us lhe besl educalion possible are apprecialed by each and every member ol lhis class. , Especially do we appreciale lhe ellorls ol lhe High School lacully on our behall. Their pa- lience and lrienclly guidance have made lhe rough road ol knowledge easier lo lravel. Ol lhem we shall relain many dear memories as we go along. Classmales, lhe lime has come when we musl parl. Class lies musl be broken and we musl leave lhe inslilulion which has made lhe ballle less dillicull lor us, We musl say lhe word lhal marks lhe parling ol lhe ways. Wilh sincere hopes ol many happy reunions ol lhe Class ol I93I in lhe lulure, we speak lhe only word lhal remains lo be said, Earewell.
