We have attempted to put forth a photographic and typographic record of the Class of 1935 in a distinctive and interesting manner. Using the experiences of preceding staffs as a basis for develop- ment, we have published what we believe to be a thoroughly modern yearbook. On the division pages is portrayed the contrast and development of three hundred years in Connecticut and in high school life. The Annual itseb' presents a section of present M. H. S. history and development. In distant years when the fire of our memory of Meriden High School days has burned low, this small book may help restore the thoughts of loving friendships and outstanding experiences here. I f this Annual serves to revive these memories of days spent at the institution which helped mold our lives, then we who worked to produce it shall feel that our labor was not in vain.

Elaine-Must we begin with those time-worn words of welcome which have been used ever since the first high school was founded at Boston, 300 years ago? Marjorie-Oh, you mean by greeting at length Hour parents without whose aid many students would never graduate, and our teachers- Elaine-Oh yes, our worthy teachers who, through constant effort in our behalf, have helped us to reach the topg likewise the school board and our Princi- pal1Tq,, Marjorie-And so forth and so on. But let's be different! VVe've already broken one tradition by furnishing our class with two salutatorians.

A., and the industrial codes, Thousands unemployed-thousands on relief. 'We are the product of the great Depression, Have sensed its weariness and its tragedy, Have seen the fear, the doubt, the mute frustration Of those whose cry Weill soon be voicing: Oh, Lord, give us a job! And as we go out with bold, false front- Hiding within us the dread and terrors Of drifting down wasted, idle years QBecause jobs are scarce and thereis nothing to doj, VVhat helpful cargo are we taking along? Learning? Facts? VVhat good are these alone In this merciless race for jobs? No, our cargo is loaded with many memories That, whatever the future brings, will be good To remember: The thrill of gaining in a race VVith the hot wind rushing by your face, Your first speech when, with pounding heart, You knew you'd forgotten where to start, Or the play you were ing or the prize you Wong That encouraging praise, A job well doneug Those snatches of talk against the wall, YVhen you knew you shouldn't be in the hall, Or seeing friendly faces every day, Hearing the same old greetings in a familiar way, Or in class, that flash of understandingw VVhether in history, science, or math-demanding That you shout I get it nowf The why, when, where and howlv Or that sudden vision of the inner beauty Which made you say This poem thrills me 'Though I can't say whylu Things like these will be ours to claim. Each cargo different-yet in this the same: The spirit of rushing, studying, worrying, And through it all-the laughing, echoing, hurrying Of the years we spent in school. And when in the future's dark waters, like driftwood spars VVe're lost, may these memories be a handful of stars! Thifly-Seven History of the Class of 1935 by Francis C. VVood, Jr. June 14th will end the history of a class that will go down in the annals of Meriden High School as one of outstanding achievements and accomplishments and as one of initiative and originality. On that day, a class of some three hundred and fifty students will be sent out into the world to conquer it. That day marks the end of an era in their lives and begins for them a new one in which they will meet, face to face, the problems of life for which they have been preparing them- selves. The class officers for the Sophomore year were: President, Joseph Noonan, Vice-President, Joseph Murphy, Secretary, June Anderson, and Treasurer, Bette Anderson. During this year, the class established a precedent by presenting an annual social for all its members in the school gymnasium. This aEair was a delight- ful one and all who attended acclaimed it highly. The class officers for the Junior year were as follows: President, Louis Olivier, Vice-President, Francis Wood, Secretary, June Anderson, Treasurer, Barbara Peterson. The outstanding event of the Junior year was the Prom. Capably assisted by the three class advisers, Miss Justine Horrigan, Miss Ada Pooley, and Mr. Bernard Jurale, the committees, under the directorship of Francis Wood, general chairman, did an excellent job. The winter scene was carried out in a most realistic fashion even to the extent of an actual snowstorm. This social highlight of the year is already written in the golden book of memory of all whose who were present. And then, September of 1934 ushered in the final and most important year of its career in high school. The Class of '35 has as great a record as any class that ever graduated from Meriden High School. Never before have Meriden Highis inter-scholastic activities been so successful as they have during this year. The football team copped the C. C. I. L. cham- pionship. The basketball team, after winning the C. C. I. L. cup, went on to become State and New England champs. The debating team tied Commercial of New Haven for all-state honors to add to this brilliant athletic record. This year has been an active one, also, in regard to other extra-curricula activities. There have been four extremely successful dramatic productions, two of which, Stepping High and The Four-Flusherf' were the products of the Senior Class itself. As had been its custom for the past two years, the class sponsored its Frolic in the gymnasium in the later part of the fall. This event was the initial social one of the year. This was followed by the traditional 6'Christmas Dancei' and also by Pre-Lenten and Post-Lenten dances, and a class bridge all of which were enjoyed immensely. The class oflicers included for the Senior year: Joseph Noonan, president, Francis Wood, vice-president, Mary Heffernan, secretary, and Joseph Ahern, treasurer. Since Miss Pooley resigned from the teaching staff of the school, during the Junior year, Mr. Russell Doran was selected as the third class adviser to Hll her vacated position. In the Student Senate, the class was represented by Joseph Noonan, Mary Heffernan, Louis Olivier, and Francis VVood, President. This activity was one of the liveliest of the school this year and the seniors in the Senate should be given their share of credit for the part they played in raising this student organization to the heights that it achieved.

F orty-Seven Class Prophecy CHAPTER I by Ruth Wright and Florence Wade Scene-The first day out of New York on board the S.S. Gantleyf' bound for Bermuda. Characters- Ruth Wright, eminent Woman advertiser for the Bermuda Line. Florence Wade-well-known theatrical critic. Both are on their much needed vacation. Ruth- Lovely weather for ducks. Speaking of ducks, the day before I sailed I saw Lois Wilcox who is now teaching school in Meriden, with the 'duckiest' new suit. Florence- Yes, and that reminds me that her pal, Anne Graff, is now dietician at the Bellevue Hospital. Ruth- I knew that. But getting back to suits, Lois bought hers at 'Saks,' where Elsie Robinson is head buyer. fSilence rains for a few seconds when suddenly-D Florence- Isn't that Phylis Belair walking out there on the deck in the rain? I wonder what she's doing down there? Ruthk Didn't you know that she's Barbara Lemke's nurse? She's taking Barbara to Bermuda to recuperatef' F1orencw This rain is getting monotonous. Let's go to the ship's library and see what we can find to read. Ruthg All right. Say, isn't that stewardess Barbara Peterson? Florence- I think so. Well here's the library. By the way, is it true that Margaret Loehner is the head librarian on one of the other liners of the company? Ruth- Yes, she has had that position for some time. Hey, look here's a book on 'How to Study,' by Marjorie Hackbarthf' Florence- This 'Improving the Diet' looks interesting. Why, the author is Norma Button! Ruth- Have you read this editorial in 'The New York Sun' by Editor-in-Chief Eleanore Cooke? Florence- Yes, it's extremely interesting. That magazine cover reminds me that before I left New York I saw a magazine of Mickey Mouse costumes designed by Alice Nobert. Evidently she is succeeding in impressing Walt Disney too. Ruth- Let's go to the sport shoppe. I want to learn a new stitch from Mary Ellen Steele. F lorence- Can't you wait till later? I want to listen to Marjorie Kelly's 'Cuckoo Hour'. Ruth- Is that static? Florence- No, that's Mae Hartman announcing, with Sophia Parlinowich asking questions and Marie Minkwitz answering in her own inimitable style. Ruth-'tAfter this program is over I want to listen to the news hashes. Florence- Did you hear last night how Elaine Schwartz, U. S. representative to the peace con- ference, tried to soothe her old classmate, Sophia Rakesky, who was quite disturbed about Russia. Ruthi Yes. Keep quiet-here are the news flashes. Florence- Listen-, the big leaguer has just announced his engagement to Marjorie Trout of Meriden, Conn. Ruth-t'Dorothy Clark is married too. She is sending J r. to Betty Smith's nursery school. Florence-HI suppose in a few years Dot will be sending him to Katherine Fenn's religious camp up in New Hampshire. Ruth- By the Way, did you know that Geraldine Berry proved to be such an excellent nurse that her last patient decided to hire her for life. They are now living happily in Bridgeport. Florence- Practically all we've done all day is reminisce. I must do a little bit of work on this vacation. I want to finish my comment on Alice Flynnls latest playg so I'll see you at dinner. Forly-Eight CHAPTER II By Mario Petrucelli and Frank Robertson Well here we are back in the old home town after ten long years. The place has changed, but not enough to suit the present mayor, Joseph X. Noonan. Joe's the politician with personality plus push. It is rumored that he runs a cigar factory so that he won't have to buy cigars at election- time. Senator F. T. Wood, I have heard, is trying to get Mayor Noonan to give him half interest in his cigar factory. The Senator would have a bill benefitting Joe in exchange. Nice pair, these two. While I was walking down Main Street, I felt a sharp pain in my side. I saw a doctor's shingle and entered the office. A very distinguished looking man asked me my trouble. To my horror I was told that my appendix had to be removed. Can you imagine the feeling I had when I dis- covered that Dr. Jerome Beloff would operate? While I was in the hospital, I was visited by none other than Stanley Maciejko. the designer of the new bomb-proof high school. He remarked that the school authorities were peeved when Fred Persiko, Butch to you, put a bomb under the old institution. All about my room were beauti- ful paintings. Upon close inspection, I found that these were painted by the up-and-rising artist, Walter Lohrmann. I told the nurse to make sure that the steak I was going to have was fresh and tender. She assured me that Bameco products were first in quality. After hearing that Irving Barker was President of the Barker Meat Company, I knew I would be well satished. After leaving the hospital, I visited the high school and found that all my old chums were teachers. Deb Evans was teaching philosophy, and Fred Gagnier replaced Miss Michel as professor of the French language. Bob Dittmer, M.D., Master of Dancing, was teaching the boys and girls how to hoof it. Having had enough at High School, I went downtown to view the new sky-scraper, which was to be 50 stories, long ones, higher than the old Empire State. Arthur A. Pellegrino was the architect of this masterpiece. While viewing this edifice, I noticed a detachment of marines marching by. At their head was Major Stanley Sujdak-nice going, Stan. As I was crossing the new bridge built across Harbor Brook, I was struck by a falling girder. I had a good mind to sue the company, but when I heard that Pete Morganson was engineer, I decided not to. I didn't want Pete to lose his job. Finally I visited the Police Station and found Frank Robertson before the desk ofhcer. Frank refused to accept a ticket for speeding because the officer had not used correct English in writing it. F.V. had a promising lawyer with him to further his arguments. This barrister was Howard Shumway. As Robertson and Shumway were planning a trip to South Borneo in order to escape the trial, Pierce, Stableford, and Greenbacker joined them. Professor Pierce was home from the University of Oklahoma where he is head of the science laboratories. The voyage was going to be written up by Frank Stableford, editor of the Bridgeport Herald. Greenbacker was going to supply the yacht. At this time Sidney Fine and Walter J urek passed by on their way to high school-they hadn't graduated yet? CPerish the thought.j They were teachers too. Sergeant C Butch j Persiko was playing tiddley-winks with Walter Riccio in Walter's cell. You may wonder why Walter was there. He had not committed any crime but had just rented a cell because Hotel Winthrop was too full. Benny Kopacz was over in the corner playing a game of chess with himself. He was giving himself a clever beating. In his off' moments he coaches the football team. We looked out the window at Wilfred Hall's canary shop where Dan Cahill and Harry Briel- mann were purchasing a couple of Canaries. At this critical juncture, Fire-chief Mario J. Petrucelli drew up in the new 5 million dollar fire truck to take the members of the police department for a ride. We all hopped on and dashed out of the picture. CHAPTER III Written by Lillian DiPersio and Alice Capaccio -I took a ride through Meriden the other day, and stopped for gas. Who should be the mana- ger of the station but Lillian DiPersio. My tires were changed by her assistant Mary Ostrowsky. -Oh, that reminds me. I too, visited our home town and bumped into Katherine Alusitz. She informed me that she is the leader of the new bald headed craze for women. Q -I've met quite a few of our classmates lately.

CHAPTER V by Joseph Ahern and George Ryan Because Joseph Ahern, the great Opera star, was in a run-down condition, I thought of taking him on a globe-trotting tour. After ten years we return. We are returning homeward in the guise of tramps via Everett Crowell's skyway express. When we leave the ship whom should we bump into but George CSherlockJ Tomassetti and Edward CWatsonJ Whalen who we at once noticed had become great detectives. Also we saw Police Chief Charles Hart trying to get out a pair of handcuffs he had locked on himself. Proceeding through the town we saw the big politician Elliot Gallager telling Mayor Raymond Gearing just what the town needed. Further on we see two rival baloney markets with the signs Trade at Kilroy's and Trade at Stark's. James Ryan is drtunming up trade for Stephen Dickinson's Leading Men's Haberdashery. Now we come to the Palace Theatre under the management of David Pierce and Richard Spencer. They have good vaudeville and amateur shows. Today they have the three B's singing: they are Borek, Bennett, and Burns. We also have one of the greatest radio orchestras under the direction of Benny Hozer and have the champion trumpet player, James Azzolina. Fred Arnold is the cashier of the theatre because the management does not trust one another with the money. Rev. Cyrus Severance is preaching on the immorality of these shows. Francis Mozzi is now opening a chain store all over the country. Leigh Owen has worked himself up to a soda-fountain clerk. He still keeps repeating the well-known theorems from Solid Geometry. One of them is: Lateral area equals one half the lateral edge times the perimeter of the base. George Tessmer and Robert Brechlin have incorporated and have the largest chicken ranch in Connecticut. Amedea Giordano runs a barber shop on Pratt Street. Robert Dawson, Red Woollen, and John Galvin are gym teachers in the Y. M. C. A., High School, and the Community Building respectively. Anthony Kosienski had inherited the Kosienski Meat Market. Aldo Figlioli is a clerk in Dickinson's Haberdashery. Alex Savchik runs the t'Good Eats Grille on Broad Street with Stanley Dudek as cook and Bernard Ciosek and Allan Burr as bottle washers. Norman Zimmer is in charge of the electrical system for the fire and police departments with Walter Garstka as his assistant. Leslie Howe is fire chief with Carl Christowski as his assistant. Lawrence Parmentier is now president of the Fulton Chain Stores with his headquarters in the Town Hall. F zfty-One In the sporting world we have such celebrities as Gene Westermyer, pitcher for the Meriden National League Club and Roland Werther outfielder and slugger for the same club. We also have banker Myron Schuster. In his bank Robert Hehir, Lawrence Laviana, Leo Misikiewicz are clerks and John Pulaski is a floorwalker. Karl Woodworth runs his photo- graphy studio where the old Shaw studio once did business. ' CHAPTER VI by Dorothy Kurtz and Louise Barbagli We were about to embark on a cross-country pleasure trip. Waiting for the last details to be arranged made us somewhat nervous so we dropped into the airport tearoom, operated by Laura Wolf and Florence Wessman, and had a bite to eat. The plane was ready at last and as this was a strictly feminine adventure, we were naturally interested to see who was to pilot us. The smiling aviatrix was no other than Catherine Keane. She proudly informed us that she had only a week ago obtained her pilot's license, and was more than honored at being allowed to handle such a long trip. When we were finally settled, we became aware that we made quite a large party. Two women, Georgianna Brobson and Sophie Modziak, were taking the trip for their health. Our air hostess was no other than Louise Benoit, who made us feel quite comfortable, and the nurse who accompanied Miss Keane on all her flights was Margaret Kelly. Our first stop was, of course, New York. As this was not to be a hurried trip, we planned to spend several days just browsing around. It was here we met our old schoolmate Constance Greico, who informed us that she was working for the Proctor and Gamble Company as a bookkeep- er, and that Althea Strauss was living in New York with her darling Jimmie, who was a bank director. We attended a play, produced by the Theatre Guild, in which Miss Hazel Brenner took the lead. We also ran across Eileen Costello who said she was modeling for Barbara Doolittle, who had become quite an artist. On entering the hotel that evening we were confronted by two cigarette girls, Gertrude Wrinn and Jean White. They told us to be sure and visit Louise Bar- bagli who was living on the 15th floor, and who was writing books which were being used in Mr. Churchill's English classes. While talking, Louise told us that she just received a letter from Edna Hanlan who now owned an immense frog pond in the eastern part of Meriden. In the letter she mentioned that Gladys Lipfert was a designer of clothes and the sole owner of the Popular Dress Shop, and that Margaret Morriseau was now the manager of the S. S. Kresge Company and she had hired Mary Lippitt and Josephine Michalczyk as her soda jerkers. The next day while taking in the stores on Fifth Avenue, we found Catherine McKenna modeling gorgeous gowns designed by Mlle. Genevieve Kawecki herself. Going into the City Hall we ran into Adeline Pankiewicz and told her about the marvelous journey we were taking. Upon hearing who our aviatrix was, she immediately tried to sell us some insurance. Louise Gratta and Mary Idzi were both employed in the same building as stenographers. At N. Y. U. we met Rita Juralewicz teaching an advanced course in Problems of American Democracy, and Marion Hirschfeld, who was a professor in chemistry. She very generously presented us with a formula which would save us both gas and money. Our next stop was Chicago. The former Lena Del Favero had invited us to stay at her home while we stopped there. Lena had married a successful banker and lived in a very delightful suburban home. Ruth Dittman had the position of governess of the two children and Agnes Ryan was their dancing instructor. As we expected to see Chicagols high spots that evening we decided to have our hair waved. Laura Des Marais and Florence Schee were experienced hairdressers in one of the outstanding beauty salons so we decided to go there only to find that Roslyn Opinsky and Florence Normandy were sole proprietors of the place. They told us that their face cream that they used had been invented by our old friend Ruth Greiner. Later, during the evening we ran across Eileen Dubee as a torch singer in a night club. As we continued our flight, we seemed to be having some trouble. It looked as though Professor Hirschfeld's formula was not functioning correctly. We landed only a few miles from Reno. Curiosity tempted us to go there while repairs were being made. While having our nails manicured by Bette Grover, a bulletin notice informed us that two of our former classmates Dorothy Hegel and Eva O'Brien were there also applying for divorces. Yvonne Query and Doris 0'Brien were there acting as nurses to a couple of women who had been brutally treated by their husbands. Anna Metelsky was working as a librarian to provide soothing reading material to unnerved men and women. We resumed our flight, and with the plane going smoothly we soon arrived at our destination, Los Angeles. As a sordid form of amusement we decided to visit the insane asylum there. We were welcomed by Ethel Barnas, the matron of the asylum and the secretary, Jeanette Kazarra, took our names. We were introduced to Rose Liber, the dietitian, and Margaret Shanahan who F zlfl y- Two conducted the kindergarten class for the harmless cases. She told us that the asylum's favorite author was Ruth Evans, and that Charlotte Stickle was a book agent selling snappy stories to the inmates. Having an extra day on our hands, we stopped at the World's Fair, and purchased our tickets at the door from Dorothy Reynolds, she was assisted by Anne Soleski. Our next stop was Hollywood. At the airport we were greeted by Mary Alusitz, who had become a dress designer for some of the actors. Mary informed us that Dorothy Kurtz had just arrived to go into the movies. She was accompanied by her secretary, Betty Scollan. Our trip was extremely satisfactory to everyone concerned, and the absence of the masculine element in no way detracted from our enjoyment. CHAPTER VII by Edward Tencza and Joseph Alix Loud shots fill the air-Pop corn!! Peanuts! Soda,- Right over here folks and see a tail without a horsef' Say, by the way! isn't that someone we know?-why it's Ernie Allard. Boy, oh boy, he's right at home now-talking all day and getting paid for it. Bring 'm-back-somehow Bartholomew has a stand next to Allard, let's see what he's selling. It looks like sure-catch mouse traps. Bryda and Cwikla, Barnum's famous acrobatic team have given up the circus, and have run for Congress. tThey had to leave the circus because of stage fright.J There's a circus guard over thereg let's go and get some info about this circus. Well, well, well, if it isn't Gostyla. Say, you must feel right at home here, all the monkeys n'everything, y'know-Oh you got a letter from Darrow didtja. What did he have to say-After graduating trade school he finally applied for a pension. Darrow says that Fiut is in the spotlight. How? Oh the spotlight of a pool table-yeah I heard that he was champ. Well, he always did like pool. Well so long, Gostyla, I'm going back to see my alma mammy. I wonder what it looks like nowfafter so many years? Well, here we are, and say, look at that big sign on the lawn, let us see what it says-class day for the class of 35. Wow!! that's us, le-t's go.-First our home room, 106. What a noble place theyive turned it into. A display room and theytve got airplanes, trains, trucks, etc. on display- toys, of course. Edward Tencza, who was elected president many long years ago, gave us the following in- formation concerning those present. Tencza tells me that Hoberman has gone into the shovel business-he always did have lots of use for shovels. Jarvis, after taking over the heavyweight champship, retired to his harem. Here comes Bob Logozzo and the poor boy looks all tired out- what did you say the trouble was, Bobby? Oh, you just succeeded in bringing back the title to the United States-Boy! I'll bet you're happy. What country fonnerly held the title?-Oh, Canada, huh-Well, congratulations, Bob. Here's hoping you have lots more luck. Tencza just said that Teddy Katuzny and Teddy Kasmarski who were only office boys at Sage and Allens in Hartford have finally decided to take over the place. Johnny Korzenko, who is now one of the world's tallest men, gives credit to the pound of yeast he has been eating daily. Ed Kicielinski is running a first-rate printing shop from which all good reading material originates. Let us take a walk down Main Street, maybe we'll see someone we know. Sure nuff, there's a beauty parlor operated by Louis Olivier. What's the specialty today, Louie? Ocean, radio, air, and hair waves, I suppose? Irving Wessman, Louie's chief competitor also has the same specialty, only Swede goes a little further-he acts as a dressmaker's model in between hours. In a nearby store a terrific argument is taking place between Teddy Zajac, who is proprietor of a candy store and Peter Pilecki, who has been Meriden's sheriff for the past nine years. It seems that Zajac ate all the profits and Pilecki was attaching the place-Whew!! let's get out of here. What's this-here's a store that's run by Don Tierney-he finally got some place after all, didn't he. And look who's working for him-Harold Watrous and Walt Wishniowski, model clerks according to Don. Poor Tommy McLaughlin, who couldn't keep up his singing school for canaries, was forced to close up because of overhead expense. It's bad to have a red overhead, isn't it, Tommy. There's Leo Majkowski, the All-American fullback-I hear he has to hire a body guard of six men to keep the gals off his sore shoulder. Majkowski got a letter from Elliot Weston, an old pal from 106, and he says that the Hcoffee salesman of Growers Outlet now owns a plantation and grows coffee just to burn it - revenge, Bud? One of the employees on Bud's plantation is Henry Lepkowski, poor boy, he's awfully dis- couraged with himself because after debating many years with himself he's finally decided that he takes one step forward and two backward. Well look at this theatre-whatta joint!!! Well I'll be -if it isn't Joe Alix rtmning the place. You know it's rumored that if we have another war he'll be our Commander-in-Chief-well, we wish him luck. What did you say, J oe? Oh you're treating us to a free show-Well I guess we can spend the rest of the day in here. FU! y- Three CHAPTER VIII by Virginia Beckley and Jennie Farieri Marian Evarts is conducting a wornen's symphony orchestra she has recently organized. Walka Poulaino, because of her voice, is understudy for Popeye the Sailor at the Thimble Theatre. Helen Geary tried to sell me a leg of lamb the other day for a piece of roast beef. Wonder where she gets her sense of meat detection. Maybe it's the first national. I bumped into Jennie Farieri the other day and after a short talk learned that she's bringing up her children to get one hundred in spelling. I read in the Hollywood Magazine that Frances Otto has gone into pictures under the direction of Von Stranheim. Margaret Soroka has a position as private secretary to the Governor. Here's wishing her luck. Eunice Muntz has returned to M. H. S. where she will have the position of doorkeeper for Rm. 201. Doris Pitel just returned from the hospital as the result of an overdose of shrinkage pills. She should change places with Marie Fellegy. ' Dorothy Langer recently modeled the latest costume creations designed by Madamoiselle Gold at Hollywood's most famous fashion salon. I see by the paper that Veronica Dmyterka is running a school of physical culture in Hartford, Connecticut. I met Eva Garvel the other day and learned that shels a governess for some wealthy people at Long Island. Marian Liddell the proprietor of one of the well-known sweater shops on Fifth Avenue, N. Y., recently sold a sweater to a prominent actor. While at the Paradise Restaurant in N. Y. City, I was surprised to hear the announcer say that Anna Ragone was the new blues singer. Marie Vanbacco is running a hot dog stand on the boardwalk of Atlantic City and receiving a lot of Meriden business. I hear Frances Preece is teaching a classroom of students how to write essays relative to the Holy Bible. If Ethel Marth's first job is an office that has no swivel chair, she will either leave the job or buy a swivel chair for herself. Sylvia Fontanella will eventually be the inventor of some individual heating system which can be easily carried from place to place. Agnes Serowiak will find someone who can out-talk her, and will cause her to become speech- less. What will she do without her only asset? We won't be surprised if, while traveling through Hollywood, we come across June Anderson as understudy for Jean Parker. Muriel Hotchkiss will be established in the delicate business of the application of cosmetics. We will find a new act on at the Barnum and Bailey Circus-Marie Fellegy, the woman who lives in a shoe. Primo Carnera's shoe to be exact. There will be a new course available to students at the Meriden High School. Grace Pancallo will instruct in the technique of eyebrow plucking. As we pass the Little Church Around the Corner, under a shower of spice and tin cans, we will see Arline Lietz, the blushing bride. Bernice Reynold's residence will be Grange Hall, Broad Street, Meriden. If Betsy Beckley doesn't feel able to go to the office some morning, she will send her twin sister in her place. Lena Dobensky will be working in a flower house, where she will have very little trouble in finding windows to look out of. Valarie Marchant will be a barker in a side-show. She will have finally decided to talk. Louise Rahaley will publish pamphlets on a Simple Way to Overcome Blushing.

Character, leadership, scholarship, and service are the fundamental requirements for membership in this club. Not more than Eve per cent are chosen in June of the Junior year, and the remainder during the Senior year. The emblem of this Society is the keystone and flaming torch. The base of the keystone bears the letters S, L, C, and S, Which stand for the four principles of the organization: Scholarship, Leadership, Character, and Service. The keystone, placed by the builder to keep the perfect arch stable, represents the fact that our education must be held firm and true to the purpose of life by the virtues indicated in this symbol. The flaming torch signifies the members' desire to advance the searching light of truth, to lead that others may follow, and to inspire in the school a high ambition for the lasting values of life. Throughout the year the members of our chapter are called upon to render various services about the school. In May the Exchange Club of Meriden enter- tained tlie society at a banquet.

I Triangular Debate The debating season, this year, opened with the annual triangular debates between opposing teams from Meriden, Middletown, and Manchester. This debate opened competition for the new Florence lvl. Fisherdick cup, which was donated anonymously in appreciation of the former teacher's services to debating in High School. The Meriden teams succeeded in gaining one leg on the cup by winning unanimous decisions over both Middletown and Manchester debaters. Shortly after this victory, the Meriden squad entered league competition, and emerged victorious over the West Hartford debaters to win the C. C. I. L. champ- ionship. Meriden High School teams have several times tied with other league schools for this championship, but this year marked the first victory. Because of these two victories, Meriden High was one of the six schools chosen to compete in a round-robin tournament for state honors. The affirmative team debated Crosby High of VVaterbury, and the negative team opposed the Groton debaters. After all returns had been made, it was discovered that Meriden and Commercial High of New Haven were tied for the championship, with four judges' votes in favor of each squad. These two teams met in a final debate to determine the victor. The result of this confiict was again a tie and both Meriden and Com- mercial Will be jointly considered state champions for this year. This string of victories Was accomplished only through much work by the eight members of the squad, and by the untiring efforts of the coach, hir. Raymond Fay. The squad had been working since November to perfect a Water tight case on the subject, Resolved: That the Federal Government should adopt the policy of equalizing educational opportunity by annual grants to the statesf' During the first two debates Jerome Beloff was confined to bed with an opera- tion. At these debates David Vandenburgh capably took over his assignments with little notice.

It was founded for the purpose of promoting dramatics as an extra curricular activity among the students. Its membership and popularity has increased so steadily every year that it has become one of the outstanding clubs of the school. Under the able direction of Miss Frances Curley the society presented c'Clar- ence as its major annual production. Ample credit should be given the director and cast and all those concerned with the presentation for its success. To Mr. Churchill goes the credit for directing and producing, during the year, many one act plays that were highly acclaimed. The usual custom of inviting guests from out of town high schools to review the clubis production was not followed this year because of the financial condition of the club. Membership is obtained by tryouts at the beginning of the year. Only those who can prove that they have an aptitude for dramatics are admitted. OFFICERS President ...... .........,........ ....

The club has not only provided the school with choral music at various occasions, such as the Christmas assembly, and one of the meetings of the Community Forum, but has given an excellent performance along with the Boys' Glee Club in the contest held between six local Connecticut schools at Bushnell Memorial in Hartford on Nlay 16. Though the entire student body co-operated, it was mainly through the efforts of this club that the operetta, The Governor's Daughterf, was so well presented in February. President ....,..

The activities of the club include participation in the Christmas assembly and other various assemblies throughout the year. The most important function of the club is the participation in the annual Central Connecticut Conference Glee Club Contest which is held in the Spring. The boys have studied under the direction of the music supervisor, Mr. James V. Conklin, and they have attained a place among the leaders of the state. Meetings Were held once a Week in conjunction With the Girls' Glee Club and there was much enthusiasm in this undertaking. The club worked in two divisions, one division Was the junior and senior groups, and the other the sophomore group. Of these, the sophomore group was the larger. Together, these two divisions have gone far in the advancement of glee club work for boys, and We hope that the large sophomore group along with the juniors will carry on the good Work.

The club holds its meeting on the last Monday of each month for the purpose of furthering French customs in life, and of giving its members an opportunity for conversing. . Many varied and interesting meetings have been held this year. One of the meetings was spent in the study of La Marseillaisen and pictures of its author, Rauget de Lisle, Were shown at this meeting. Several fables of La Fontaine were effectively dramatized by the members of the club at another meeting. Two interesting movies on the life and customs of the people in the South of France were shown at the January meeting. The members of the club have found the meetings this year both enjoyable and educational. OFFICERS President ......... ..,......,..... ...,.. A 1 ice Flynn Vice-President ..... ....

The program committee, headed by Bradley Prann, made the year an interest- ing one for the members. Several plays of various types were presented by some of the more enterprising members, and they proved a howling success. Mr. Prann and company produced an original parody in German on the famous Work Faust,' by Goethe. One meeting Was devoted entirely to the singing of German songs, folk-songs and popular alike. This singing is very helpful for increasing fluency in speaking the language. Some very interesting films were shown, depicting the peasant life in the Bavarian Alps. The quaint costumes of the German villagers, and the scenery of old Deutschland,, were reminders that parts of Germany still remain unmod- ernized. Through these varied and interesting programs, the Deutsche Verein is accomplishing the very commendable end of acquainting its members with a more fluent speaking knowledge of German.

The name alone, The Four Flusherf' by Caesar Dunn, is sufficient to enable one to guess what type of play it Was. Each of the cast in this clever and up-to-date comedy, unlike most amateurs, seemed to play his own part to such an extent that there Was nothing exhibited but real acting. The actions of the play was centered about the high ideals of Andy Wlhittaker, Whoqwas only a shoe clerk in a small city. Upon the return of Andy's uncle Ira, a retired millionaire, many complications arise. The success of the play was due to the able coaching of llliss Frances Curley who has directed the Senior Play for a number of years. The advertising and financial affairs of the play were handled very successfully by the business manager, Jerome Beloff. Jerry Dean ........ Evangeline Gay. . . Horace Riggs ......

Meriden reached its peak in the New Britain game of this tournament. The Meriden squad displayed all its basketball Wizardry and pluck in this Battle of the Centuryn and eked out a Q3-21 win over the highly-touted New Britain team, the favorites of the tournament. Branford was the next to take it on the chin. After one of the most exciting games of the tournament, Branford gave way, 34:-27. In the final quarter of this game, Benny Zajac was violently tossed to the floor and sustained a sprained ankle and a wrenched knee. He was carried off the floor, apparently out of the champ- ionship battle with Warren Harding the next day. Benny, however, displayed the courage that was typical of the whole Meriden team and as usual led his mates on the floor that Saturday afternoon, limping, with his leg bound so tightly that the veins stood out. He played practically all of that game, even though every step he took sent pains through his entire body. As a reward for his valor, and his all-around excellency of play during the tournament, he received the honor of being placed on the all-tournament team which also included Eddie Gormley, the second highest scorer of the tourneyg Junk Brooks, Lloyd Slavin and Leo Majkowski received honorable mentiong and Horse Kluskus placed on the second team. Meriden completely outclassed every team that it met in the New England Tournament, defeating each team it played by at least eighteen points. Montpelier, the champion of Vermont came first, 54-31, and then Chelsea of lVIass., 38-QQ. Wfarren Harding of Bridgeport was last but not leastg they absorbed a 40-QQ Nsherlackingn. Eddie Gormley, high scorer of the New England Tournament and Horse Kluskus rated New England first team, Lloyd Slavin was selected as second team center. In recognition of the feats of the Connecticut and New England Champions, the citizens of Meriden presented the eleven lettermen with uniform blue jackets, gold basketballs, and eight hundred dollars for a five day trip to Washington, D. C. The party left Meriden on March 30 and arrived home on the third of April amid the blaring of bands and the cheerings of three thousand admirers who formed in parade as a final tribute to those who worked so diligently to bring Meriden its first State and New England Championships.

C. I. L. cup. After a slow start in which Meriden was beaten by New Britain, 14-6 and was tied by West Hart- ford, 7-7, Meriden fought its way up to the top of the C. C. I. L. race. The first victim was a fighting East Hartford team that went down to defeat, 32-0. This game was featured by a sixty yard touchdown run in the first period by Kluskus, who, in addition, scored three more touchdowns before the game ended. The raging Horse , a Sophomore, who later gained recognition as all- state fullback and state's highest scorer for the year, again paved the way for a smashing victory over Manchester, 27v6. The victory over Bristol has been the hope of all Meriden High Football teams since 1927 when Meriden last beat the men of Monahan. Meriden won this 1934 contest 6-0 by virtue of Wee Wee Brunnell's left end run. Overconfidence befell the members of the squad and an invasion of Com- mercial High of New Haven brought results that were everything but successful. The team was beaten by two last quarter touchdowns, 14-6. After a week of intensive training for the Middletown contest that meant title or no, Meriden unleashed a dazzling offense combined with a stubborn defense that completely bafHed the Black and Goldsters of the Asylum City. Meriden's superior play merited that 14-6 win and was a suitable way of drawing the curtain on the 1934 campaign. C. C. I. L. CHAMPS LE E. Gormley RG A. Johnson QB F. Wood LT B. Zajac RT L.

This league was composed of schools much larger than lNIeriden High and the showing of the boys from the Silver City was indeed creditable although Dame Fortune failed to smile upon the merInen who lost all their decisions by hairline defeats. The Bristol victory was especially unfortunate in that Mericlen lost by one point. This year, however, Meriden placed in the state event for the first time, when Rip Costello placed second in diving. The lettermen included: Dobratz, Costello, Ness, Eckstein, lVolf, lVhite, Hennessey, Karsmarski, Timms, Tryon, and Ed Pratt, manager. Soccer Although this year's soccer squad won but one game, against VVest Hartford, the spirit of team-play that the members of the team carried to the other cities of the C. C. I. L. league gave a favorable impression of hleriden High. Led by Captain Chet Roman, the boys fought valiantly even in the face of defeat for the Red and Blue.
