MEMORIAE CAUSA CLASS BOOK 1931 (iHassaclTusctts AIM HIGH We, the Class of Nineteen Hundred and Thirty-one, respectfully dedicate our Class Book to our advisers. Miss McDermott and Mr. Piper, in sincere and grateful apprecia- tion of their services. s t HIS is the beautiful classic of architecture which has become immeasur- ably dear to our hearts through familiar association. It is fittingly named after the beneficent gentleman who presented it to the townspeople. We have indeed received inspiration from surroundings of such stately serenity. It has come to mean more to us than a mere structure; it has come to represent a phase of our lives which we are now leaving; it is sur- rounded with a haze of pleasant memories. We pass its traditions to those who come after us. May they cherish them as we do. Leighton S. Thompson Amherst A. B., Harvard Ed. M. Principal Dorothea T. Allen Smith A. B. English John A.

And its luring beauty beckons Eager pilgrims passing by. We must climb that mountain, classmates; We must choose our paths and go. Each one on his way, advancing With a steadfast aim and slow. When the goal is reached, my classmates, And we hear the words, Well done, We will know the journey ' s ended For the class of thirty-one. — Bernice J. Whitehead (Music by Philip Cook and Rudolph Heider) Class Jom We are Seniors who are climbing Upward till we reach our goal; Hoping as we strive for vict ' ry, That we all may fill our role. Now we stand upon the threshold Of our dear, beloved school. Thinking of the years before us, When we may apply our rule. As we face with fear the future, Far beyond the sheltering walls. May we staunchly meet life ' s problems As we answer to her calls. — James Parr EDWARD WILLIAM BROLDER ted ' President . . 1 Football l . 4 Vice-President L 2 Baseball 3, 4 Lieut.

Business Manager Blue and White 3 Traffic Squad 4 Various Committees My name is Charles, but to you it ' s Charlie . It ' s rather difficult to delineate a pleasing portrait of one ' s self, don ' t you think? However, if my classmates have enjoyed my company as much as I have appreciated their friendship, my high school days will be a happy remembrance. I hope that my facetious outbreaks will be forgiven and my humble efforts will be rightly interpreted. After all, 1 mean well, you know! PETER JESSEL pete Lieut Cadet Corps Football 4 Treasurer 3 Secretary 4 Traffic Squad 4 Pete is famed for his modesty. For this reason he has endeared himself to us all the more.

Pete wasn ' t exactly what we would call an ama- teur with the ladies, either. JOHi BRAMLEV TORDOFF johnny Treasurer 4 Class Will Various Committees We have yet to see Johnny without his pleasing grin. Good-humored Johnny is quite as ready to take a joke as spring a few ' .

GERTRUDE LOUISE BEAUMONT certie Gertie is a cute little miss with a per- sonality all her own. Gertie is one of the reasons why the traffic officers can ' t keep their minds on duty and single file.

No kidding, Gertie , we couldn ' t get along without you! 17 4 GARABED YEGHIA BEDROSIAN GARY Although we have not had Gary with us for all the four years of our high school, we ' ve had him here long enough to find out his excellent work in drawing.

THELMA GRACE BUDU Hockey 4 Thelma is a girl who loves to oblige. Many nights Thelma has burned the mid- night oil assisting prominent football players to avoid the red menace; and they all seem to enjoy their tutor. Who knows how many games Thelma has saved for Methuen. Keep up that team work, Thelma. 19 WILLIAM LOUIS BUDD billy buddy Aide Cadet Corps Football 3, 4 Picture Committee Various Committees Traffic Squad 4 Junior Play Orchestra 2, 3 Buddy stands out for his heljifulness; if you get in a jam , call on Buddy !

CLIFFORD CHARLES BURBY cliff Football 3 Adjutant Cadet Corps Baseball 3 Traffic Squad 4 Book Committee arious Committees Have you ever seen that Burby boy step? He ' s some dancer!

Don ' t let the girls worry you, Sheik ! re. 20 MARION RITA CHATEAUNEUF Manager Hockey 4 If you see four feet nine inches of fun walking up the street you ' ll know it ' s Marion.

BEATRICE COHEN bee Bee is a quiet girl who, however, seems to enjoy herself at our dances and parties. She has made many firm friend- ships among her classmates. If we are to believe her friends, we see her mostly in second speed, for she steps out quite often. Good luck, Bee ! 21 .o1 ESTER LEA COHEN Ester went out for athletics with deter- mination. She was a member of both class basketball, and class hockey teams and ably assisted in their victories. She always manages to appear cheerful and happy no matter how things go. and that ' s a pretty hard thing to do. Aim high, Ester! PHILIP CLOUGH COOK phil cookie Lieut.

FLORENCE EVELYN DANE danie Social Editor Blue and White 4 Hockey 3, 4 Class Prophetess Basketball 4 Various Committees Danie is one of our class cuties .

She ' s among the foremost of our social butterflies, and an essential on the basketball team. Happv days, Danie ! ?3 1 GEORGE ARTHUR DAWSON georgi e Class Prophet Manajjer Football 4 Baseball 2, 3, 4 i ieiit.

May you add many friends to those you have made at Methuen High School, Phyllis. MILDRED CATHARINE PAGAN millie Junior Play Millie was the belle of the Military Ball you know, while the rest of the girls had to be satisfied to sit back and be the tinkle.

MILDRKD HARRIET JESSE millie If ever you are in need of sympathy or understanding you will always find it in Millie , our little Miss Cheerful no mat- ter the weather.

If anv of you folks have any questions to ask about Ibsen, Shelley, Keats, Pope, or Shakes- peare — line forms on the right, please.

Valeria is a high ratins student, too. which proves that her ability is not confined to art. REGINA MARY LUKAUSKAS Regina is one of the fairer members of our class.

ROBERT MILLS bobby Orchestra 2, 3 Football 3, 4 Baseball 3, 4 Move over, Ronald Colman, Bobby Mills graduates this year. That Mills fellow is quite a sheik, you know. We number Bobby among our versatile ath- letes, too. Bobby has fumbled on the gridiron, made errors on the diamond, and missed shots from the foul line. You can take a joke can ' t you, Bobby ? 37 WALTER RICHARD MINZNER Walter surprised us all when the Senior ranks were made up by appearing among the first ten of the list. But then we might have expected that from such an earnest student as Walter. Walter has always presented a neat appearance in school. Al- together you possess all the qualities that make a fine young man, Walter. COBURN MIRFIELD Coburn deserves a great deal of credit for his self-reliance and perseverance. He doesn ' t waste a single minute in his classes or study periods. We all feel confident that he will continue his good work.

Please don ' t grow up too fast, Kay , for we like you as you are. JOHN PHILIP MURPHY mickey Our dear fun-loving Mickey becomes proficient in anything he takes up. What a dancer!

A boy of your ability is capable of great things, Bill . RAYMOND ATKINSON PEARSON ray Ray ' s personality is his main asset, in that it brings him innumerable friends and companions. He ' s a good sport and takes an active part in all of our social events. What would school be without sheiks like Ray ? 42 JOSEPH DANA PERKINS joe Student Council 3, 4 Football 4 Lieut.

From continual contact with the soil his begrimed hands were hot and rough. Even though he had no stated hours and only an allotted amount of work to do, he wondered ruefully whether it was worth 75 cents a day, an arrange- ment which had been made at his own request, or had he better go to High School as a Sophomore in the fall with the rest? Working had its advantages. When Johnny wanted to treat Mary Sweet the money was ever handy. When he finished his work in time he could go fishing or swimming while the other boys and girls toiled at their books. Yet, Johnny thought, if he went to High School he could in time earn more money as the result of his accumulated knowledge, and instead of spending his spare time fishing and swimming in the summer, of course he could play football, be a cadet, and have loads of fun with the other boys all the year round. He could read books and learn all about the famous men and places of which he had heard so much. When Johnnv saw the announcement of the opening of school all this went quickly through his mind. He grinned to himself and decided that school could not be such a bad place after all even if he could not have his spare moments to himself and extra money with which to treat Mary Sweet. Thus it happened that Johnny Doubtful became Johnny Hopeful Sopho- more and joined the others, who, doubtless, had similar reasons for ap- proaching this impressive edifice on that memorable Wednesday after Labor Day in the fall of 1928. The first few days were trj ' ing on their gentle systems, as they were not used to the boisterous joking that was given them by those awe-inspiring persons who had been known as dignified Seniors. They seemed more like persons utterly lacking in a sense of humor for they made those poor Sophomores ' lives miserable with their continual bantering. Many a poor Sophomore has been late for class merely because a playful Senior sent him to the third floor. This bantering lessened as the Sophomores became familiar with their new surroundings. As a group the class first expressed itself officially by electing Stanlev 53 Szostak, President; Ted Brouder, Vice-President; Pete Jessel, Secretary; and Charlie Averill, Treasurer. The Sophomores ' newly acquired dignity was tested by a formal re- ception given to them by the Seniors. The familiar hall of the Central School helped those who were still awed by formal occasions to forget them- selves long enough to enjoy the evening. T Tiile the class of ' 31 was still in its creeping days they had the honor of choosing the ring which was to become the symbol of the school. Here- tofore each class had chosen its own ring. The new ring, in a beautiful black and gold design, changes only the numerals in accordance with the class to which the owner belongs. As the group became Juniors some became confident enough to add to their academic programs Glee Club and Chorus work; some of the girls chose Red Cross; drawing and orchestra seemed inviting to others; while still others accepted their first chance to try at the assisting in the manage- ment of the school paper. Altogether they were becoming full-fledged students. As Juniors they gloated over the incoming Sophomores with no pity in their hearts. It has even been said they were worse than the Seniors in playing their little jokes on the green ones. Their realm of bantering lay not only within the walls of the school for one unfortunate Sopho- more girl was directed to the Central School for the gymnasium instead of the Chapel on the third floor. How quick they were to imitate! The class officers for this year were Edward Brouder, President; Allan Ingalls, Vice-President; Ellen Walker, Secretary; and Peter Jessel was reelected for his second term as a class officer, which showed how much a good man is appreciated. As a group the Juniors ' contribution to the athletic part of the school was unequalled. Junior men appeared in every sport the school offered. A large percentage won recognition on the grid, while others did equally as well on the basketball floor and on the tennis courts. At the first signs of Spring the men of ' 31 could be seen toiling on the cinder path or on the diamond. The girls, not to be outdone, won fame on the basketball floor and in the intensely interesting game of hockey, which had lately been introduced into the school. During the Spring vacation of the Junior year the girls lost their esteemed friend and physical instructor. Miss McNeil, who, in their Sopho- more year had taken the place of Miss Warburton. Because of her death the Athletic Association voted to omit the annual Girls ' Athletic Demon- stration. Not even Charlie Averill, using Miss Allen ' s best English, can put 54 into words the attainment reached, with Mrs. Thompson ' s help, in the annual Junior play. Past, present, and future students flocked to the Central School to see the selected ones as dramatists in Adam and Eva . They were not disappointed. The characters in the play brought out the humor which supplied many a hearty laugh for the audience. The play as a whole was most difficult as it needed older and more experienced actors to portray the parts. Regardless of this handicap, the players made a success both dramatically and financially for the class of ' 31. In June the group attended their second Senior Chapel which was perhaps the first time that they were impressed with the seriousness of it. To the tune of Auld Lang Syne the Seniors passed before them; some with clouded brows; some with relief; others with wonderment as if only at the last had they come to realize what school actually m eant. As far as officers were concerned there were but two changes in the Senior year: Charles Averill became Vice-President and John Tordoff , Treasurer. As Seniors the group could well be called the personification of all that was dignified. They gloated in hearing whispered, He ' s a Senior as they sauntered through the corridors with the air of one who owned the school. But regardless of humorous moments and love of publicit % they had arrived at the point of the breaking or making of each one. (Most of them were broke, by the way.) It meant serious contemplation in everv thing that was done, for the under classes were bound to imitate as they had imitated others. At the beginning of the year with the guidance of Mr. Carty, a sub- stitute, a Debating Society was organized. Although never in action never- theless it was a seed planted in the minds of the under classmen, who, in the coming years, might bask under its spreading branches of orator ' . The school paper under the leadership of everybody ' s friend, Mr. Bagnell, and the Editor, Ted Brouder, proved to be a better one than here- tofore. Little changes and additions both in the making of the book and in the contents are marked. The cooperation of the drawing classes helped make it pleasing to the eye. Future poets, writers, and humorists have become noted as contributors. The editors have worked doubly hard to make each issue better than the last. In athletics the class has conquered in more ways than one. Last year the Senior class had the misfortune of having no one capable to hold the position of football captain; this year there were two boys who vied for the honor. The girls have had a splendid year under the guidance of their friend Miss Chadwick. They worked diligently all winter for the first A. A. Dem- 55 onstration in two years, and they were well repaid for the time spent. In basketball and hockey the girls showed that they could play as interesting a game as the boys. The crowning social event of the Senior year was the Military Ball. The papers stated that it was the best and most beautiful that had ever been staged under the roof of the Central School. Let that suffice. No mere words can express the beauty and charm of the ladies and the handsome gallant cadets who marched before envious eyes. Never before has a major made such a lasting impression on the ladies. Now as the graduating class, that group which entered in the fall of ' 28 are about to separate, as individuals they again commence to wonder. Some are asking the question of Little Johnny Doubtful — Shall I go on? Those who have proved themselves outstanding in their several lines are many. In literature and poetry students the class is rich. Who will ever forget Isabelle ' s poems in the Blue and White? Ted ' s interesting editorials which are a pleasure to read? The three musketeers of the Humor Column, Charlie, Georgie, and Buddy? Even this year brought out finds in the world of poetry. Bernice Whitehead, James Parr, and Allan Ingalls have sprung from beneath their bushels at last. In Art there are the sociable Cliff Burby, Valeria Loches and a new one among us, Garabed Bedrosian. In history there are Johnny Tordoff and Charlie Averill who captured the medal last year. In athletics the girls are a credit to the school. Ruthie, Helen, Danie, Jennie, Ella and many others have put Methuen on the map as far as basket- ball and hockey are concerned. There are many boy athletes among the class of ' 31. Joe, the capable football captain, is one of which to be proud. Speaking of Joe brings to mind his pal and the class ' s pal, Cebbie. What would Methuen have done without you on the gridiron? Booster ' s Day introduced the baseball season. The M. H. S. boys, with Allan Ingalls as Captain, played the Hanover, Massachusetts, High School who had Allan ' s brother, Beverly Ingalls, M. H. S. ' 25, as coach. Red Atkinson on the basketball floor moves so fast that the crowd stands up to keep track of him. Bill may complain in later life because he is small but if it were not so in High School enabling him to sneak through the opponents ' legs, there would be many games that . .:uld go to the other team. Speaking of legs: Lincoln once said he cared nought for legs except that they reach from the body to the ground and function at the will of their owner. So it is with our knowledge: care not except that it reach from you to your need and that it serve you at command. — Beverly Ewell Mitchell fo. 56 T TOW foolish is the man who thinks that his future has been mapped out for him and his destiny sealed! He lacks ambition; he places no trust in himself; he refuses to use his will power; he has no hope for attain- ing success. If a man believes in predestination, he has no ambition. He expects something to happen, but not through his own effort. He is not ambitious enough to try to make anything turn out any particular way. He believes that it will turn out the way that it was arranged anyway, so it will be useless for him to try. For this reason, he can not be ambitious. Before the twentieth century, there was no progress in countries governed by the Turk, who is a believer in fatalism, which is materially the same as predestination. Believing that all things were meant to be as they are, he used the same implements as his fathers, and made no effort to improve his condition. li a man believes in predestination, he places no trust in himself. He places all his trust in some foolish dream, so it might be said that he has no trust left for anything else. If a man believes in predestination, he refuses to use his will power. Man was created with a will, which he was meant to use. If he believes in predestination, he throws away three-fourths of his will-power and joins the dumb-driven cattle group that are never chosen as leaders. Where would Theodore Roosevelt have been, had it not been for his unconquerable will. He was a weak boy with asthma who built himself up to be a muscle- bound athlete. Another example of the use of will-power is the life of Helen Keller. She was, at the early age of two years, stricken deaf, dumb, and blind. By the use of her will-power, she became able to speak and read. Later, she entered Radcliffe College, from which she graduated witli an A.B. degree. If a man believes in predestination, he is lost before he starts. He waits too long for opportunity to knock. But when the knock comes, he finds the wolf, and not opportunity, waiting at the door. How often did Sidney Carton, that appealing character of the Tale of Two Cities, wish for luck? How long did he wait for opportunity to knock? He, too, found nothing that mattered in life because he did not have backbone that could make success without waiting for luck. 57 How different is the man who is out to make a name for himself through his own hard work! He gets more out of life because he puts more into it. He keeps to the path that he wants to follow. He does not roam from side to side, wondering which path he is supposed to follow, Phillips Brooks has said: Do not pray for easy lives, pray to be stronger men. Do not pray tasks equal to your powers, pray for powers equal to your tasks. Take the lesson that the ivy plant gives us. When it starts on its upward trend to the heights of the wall, it is determined to reach the top. Not once in all its long course does the ivy turn its aim aside for relaxation or rest. It is determined to do that which it set out to do and to do it well. Will-power, ambition and stick-to-it-iveness will make that compound that Nature can show to all the world and say, This is a man. — James T. Dunn, Jr. I. 58 Scene: Methuen Airport Waiting Room.

Regina Lukauskas has called an indignation meeting of the Methuen Women ' s Rights Society. Phyllis Fasullo, president of the Boston society, guest speaker, urged the Methuen women to beat their husbands thoroughly if necessary. Grace Haley objected on the grounds that she loved her husband, strange as it may seem. George: The west side Community Club is to present a play, it seems.

It is made up of the boys and girls who have won a letter in athletics. The club was formed to promote interest in the athletics of the school and to assist in its general welfare. The club conducts a social function every year in October, the proceeds of which are used to further the needs of the A. A. The M club dance has increased every year in popularity, through the untiring efforts of Mr. Elwell and the members of the club. Upon several occasions it has been possible for the members to become guests at various sporting events in Boston. The organization has supplied a powerful incentive to athletics and has added to the distinction of winning a letter. We wish it every success and the continuance of its fine influence on the school. .5, 69 ' PHE members of the Book Committee and the Picture Committee have labored diligently in their respective fields. We have earnestly en- deavored to fulfill the trust reposed in us. Our success, of course, is left to your judgment. Book Committee Charles Averill, Chairman David Peterson Ruth Hoyt Beverly Mitchell Clifford Burby Picture Committee William Budd Bernice Whitehead George Dawson 70 ' I HE Student Council consists of four Seniors, three Juniors, and two Sophomores, elected by their respective classes. It is a body which has provided a means whereby the diiferent classes may co-operate for the betterment of the school. It undertakes to establish desirable traditions, encourage progressive undertakings, solve school difficulties, and keep in relation with other schools. The Student Council has indeed proven an organization of service and we wish it every future success. Senior Class Charles Averill, President Ruth Hoyt, Secretary Junior Class Joseph Holland Ellen Willard Joseph Perkins Dorothy Seisig Sophomore Class Jennie Backs Howard Nicholson Louis Pozycek 71 OUR officers of this year have shown themselves capable in every way of assuming the responsibilities of their positions. Under the guidance of Lieut. Henry Patnaude they have formulated an organization which has been highly successful in all its undertakings. Our twenty-fifth annual Military Ball was certainly a fitting anniversary of our most colorful school function. Our cadets have made a fine appearance upon every occasion and we take a just pride in them. OFFICERS OF THE BATTALION Major .... . . David Peterson Adjutant ..... Clifford Burby Aide . . . . . .

For this we have to thank Mr. Bagnell and the members of the fine staff of editors. Every single department has shown an improvement over former years. We have had an alumni issue and have kept up to the minute with school happenings. There has been a decided stimulus in circulation for which the humor section is to be credited. We hope these fine standards will be kept up. BOARD OF EDITORS Editor- in-Chief Assistant Editor Humor Editor Literary Editor Poetry Editor Business Manager Asst. Business Manager Junior Asst.

Bagnell 75 mttor piatr A DAM AND EVA , a play of typical and amusing family difficulties, was successfully presented on Febiuaiy 21, 1930, by the class of 1931. A fine cast headed by Miss Milded Fa an and Charles Averill turned in a performance which received universal praise. The success of the evening was also to be attributed to the assistance willingly rendered by members of committees and by the advisers of the class. William Budd played the part of James King, a rich man, who is actively engaged in the rubber business. His eldest daughter and her husband, played by Ellen Walker and James Dunn, live at the King residence and subsist upon father King as do the sister-in-law, portrayed by Beverly Mitchell, and the uncle, who was Herman Schoelzel. With a large house- hold hanging upon his head. King is anxious to get away from it all and go out into the wilds. His manager, Adam Smith, played by Charles Averill, has lived a lonely life and is quite willing to swap places with Mr. King when the proper circumstances arise. During the absence of Mr. King the household is changed through the efforts of Adam Smith from a group of idlers into industrious workers. The fine performances of Ruth Hoyt, David Peterson, and Edward Brouder in their respective roles deserve especial mention. The play was ably directed by Mrs. Leighton S. Thompson.

It was a fine spirited, red-blooded, fighting eleven. Under the leadership of Joe Wolfindale they certainly illustrated that never-die spirit so character- istic of Methuen High School football teams. The line-up was as follows: John McClintock I.e. Walter P ' oley r.e. Albin Galinus l.t. Ernest Partington r.t. William Budd l.g- Peter Jessel r.g. Matthew Cebula q.b. James Clifford c. Allan Ingalls l.h. Alfred Taylor f.b. Joseph Wolfindale (Capt.) 82 i basketball UR basketball team had a very successful season. Led by Captain Billy Atkinson they dealt the highly touted Johnson (juintet two straight defeats and ran off with the suburban championship. Hats off to the boys and to their coach, Mr. Elwell. The following played: Captain William Atkinson, Lloyd Lister, Mesrob Mesrobian, Ernest Partington, Ardavis Stepanion, Manager James Dunn. 83 T7IELD HOCKEY is becoming as popular as any girls ' sport in the High School. This is because of its unlikeness to any other sport ever in- troduced for girls. Our varsity team played only one game. This was with Beverly. Our girls had a strong team but the opponents were stronger. The score was 4-0. Our line-up was as follows: Captain Helen Currie Florence Dane Jennie Baker Dorothy Learned Shirley Eichhorn Arline O ' Neil Jessie Deas Stephanie Das Ella Pollard Tillie Grinka Ruth Hoyt Barbara Thomas Marion Chateauneuf, Manager 84 ( x % basketball ' I ' HE reason why our girls were more victorious this year was because they had additional training to that of last year. Our girls did not fight for individual glory but team glory which was half the battle. The following girls were on the squad: Captain Ruth Hoyt, Florence Dane, Manager Helen Currie, Phyllis Fasullo, Jennie Baker, Anna Barra- clough, Mona Eichhorn, Jessie Deas, Stephanie Das, Jennie Backs, and Barbara Dolan. 85 Cheer leahers YV HAT would a football game be without cheer leaders? They seem to be the last word at a game. Our cheer leaders worked hard for the boys, trying to make the day a little more successful. And will we ever forget Dave with his sax leading us in our football songs? When all is said and done, the cheer leaders are almost as necessary as the players them- selves. Our cheer leaders were Jennie Baker, David Peterson, Helen Currie, and Charles Averill. fa 86 ' 4 A most successful season looms before our baseball team. In the five games played to date, they have lost but one and that a practice game with Haverhill High. Led by Captain Ingalls they have displayed a fine brand of ball and at present are tie for first place in the suburban league. Both Johnson and Woodbury have suffered defeats at their hands and Punchard awaits a similar fate. I HE season of nineteen hundred and thirty-one has been quite successful for the boys of the track squad. The material of the lower classes promises some first-rate track teams in the near future. Our boys are handi- capped by being forced to seek meets with larger and better equipped schools. However, this season the Methuen squad competed with a school of its own class, Amesbury High, and came through to win with flying colors. 87 .5.
