To us, this magnificent edifice was like a stately castle of abundant interests and a veritable album of pleasure. In every nook flourished art. Its inner structure, its exterior, and the wonder- ful outdoor surroundings of resplendent nature inspire us with admiration and appreciation of art. The walls, emblazoned with marvelous portraits depicting historical spots of beauty the world o ' er, delight us. Fittingly indeed was this building named for the generous gentleman who presented it to our town! We depart to the multitudinous callings of Destiny regret- ful to leave this source of vast happiness. Not only the actual building itself, but also the soul of the building, stirs us. Our noisy tread, our gleeful laughs, and our variously expressioned faces will be silent echoes and invisible spirits; but the impressions of this handsome building will be vividly retained in our minds to infinity. Majestically watching sentinel ... .goodbye! May you instill our successors with the same breathless awe and rapture as you have filled us! May the underclassmen preserve and cherish your traditions as we have attempted to do. Now I turn to the future for wine and bread: f have bidden the past adieu. I laugh and lift hands to the years ahead: Come on: I am ready for you! — Edwin Markham LEIGHTON S.

The knowledge and, to a certain extent, the training you have tirelessly tried to impart to us may cease to endure but your unselfish efforts will never cease to be appreciated. Mingled with sublime thoughts of high school, lingering memories of a friendly faculty will occupy our minds. In our contacts, impressions have been made by students upon instructors and vice-versa. We, the Class of 1933, only hope that the impressions we have made will be regarded with the same amount of amity and esteem as we feel proud to have formed your acquaintance. You are regarded not merely as teachers but a true friends. We are tempted to express our opinions of every facultv member, but to voice our thoughts would take time and would simply be an extola- tion of the worthiness of all of you. Ultimum vale! May future classes be as keen to appreciate the good fortune of having a Faculty with such high standards!

Three years we have spent ' neath her portals Preparing for our future days For work which so soon we shall enter When life will turn over a page. New hopes, disappointments, successes Will all be a part of our life; We ' ll face it with faith and with courage, A courage that wins in the strife. We ' ll always uphold her sound teachings, Place honor o ' er pomp and all wealth; In struggles of life e ' er remember, He conquers who conquers himself. — Alice L. Ackroyd 3n iHemirriam (Our lUelnueu Jfrimu mb Classmate GRACE MORGAN ( ln%% JVh fesrg MARTHA D. LANGE Because of her interesting experiences and charming manner, Miss Lange is a very interesting speaker. Stories of African and college life related by her are certainly worthwhile listening to. As the feminine adviser for three years, she has enthusiastically and whole- heartedly come forth to advise us in our various functions. We extend deep appreciation for efforts that will be remembered long after we leave the Edward F. Searles High School. JOHN A. BAGNELL Mr. Bagnell is one of the most ami- cable teachers we have met. His paternal understanding, good humor, and unstilted manner have bound us to a warm friendship undeniably ad infinitum. We were not surprised the least bit when John — as we are inti- mately permitted to call him — was selected as the most popular instructor. His popularity and informality add greatly to the effectiveness of his teaching. Good luck to you, John, and many thanks for the pleasurable hours spent in your company!

You certainly have a wonderful combination of favorable qual- ities. 16 1933 Methuen High School JOHN WILLIAM HUTCHINSON BILLY Class Vice-President 3, 4 Class President 1, 2 Baseball 1, 2, 3, Captain 4 Football 3, 4 HUTCHY Junior Play Track 4 Picture Committee 4 Captain, Cadet Corps 4 Assistant Business Manager, Blue and White 3 Business Manager, Blue and White 4 Various Committees Traffic Squad 4 Billy has had multiple interests during his school career. He received the coveted M in three sports. Much of his success can be at- tributed to his wondrous way with women. (Yes, that blonde hair certainly got the women ' s votes!) Bill is clever and possesses an easy going nature; he bluffs his way through any obstacles standing in his path. He doesn ' t like to study but always gets by. We wonder how he does it! Can it be personality? How about it, Bill? We hope that his personal magnetism will not diminish when he goes out into the world. WILLIAM WEST MANN billy Secretary 4 Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 Treasurer 2, 3 Traffic Squad 4 Track 4 Various Committees Billy is one of the most sociable members of our class. Because of his fair, curly hair, he has a large following of comely girls. He has helped to keep law and order in the corridors in an efficient manner. Any responsibility which was entrusted to him was done in a wholehearted way. We are positive his winning smile and personality will aid in carrying him through the hard places in life. May you succeed in whatever you choose as your life ' s work, Bill! LOUIS POZYCEK Treasurer 1, 4 Orchestra 1, 2 Student Council 2, 3, President 4 Boys ' Glee Club 2, 3 Adjutant, Cadet Corps 4 Track 2 Year Book Editor 4 Humor Editor, Blue and White 4 Various Committees Class Day Committee 4 Junior Play Traffic Squad 4 My only hope is that my classmates will cherish this attempt to present a book worthy of this ins- titution. Your friendship and happy fellowship will linger in my memory forever. High school life has been a deeply significant experience to me and I sincerely wish that this souvenir of our school career will hold considerable worth as a record of unforgettable, joyous experiences. Wherever fate may call you in the vast expanse, please remember me as one who tried his utmost to be of service. 17 Methuen High School 1933 ALICE ACKROYD Orchestra 1, 2, 4 Graduation Speaker Alice is one of the most brilliant students in our class. She is quiet but. nevertheless, one of the most heard-of girls in the school. First we hear, about her success in music: then, about her scholastic achievements. She won the ashington and Franklin medal in History during her Junior vear, and in her Senior year was elected a gradua- tion speaker by her classmates. There s a record for you! May nothing stop you. Alice, in further education! SALLY ASSAF Salh ssaf is one of our attractive, dark-eyed brunettes. She is a shy and demure sort of girl but her brown, mysterious eyes don t miss a thing. Yet these quiet girls have us all guessing. don t they? Maybe Sally will astonish us in years to come. Let us wish her all the success in the w orld! JFWIF JOW H CkS Field Hockej 2, 3, Captain t Picture Committee 4 Basketball 2. 3, 4 Various Committee| Student ouncil 2. 3 Gentlemen, meel Jennie, the girl with the most pli asanl disposition! What would the girls of the athletic teams and the hoys at the dances do with- out her? During her Sophomore year Jennie was outstanding in hockey, in the Junior it was basket- hall, but in our Senior it was both! Jennie was also an inspiring member of the cheering squad. Using her own stunts, let ' s give her three cheers! 1 i;i I BEELEY l.i BBl i s Here is one girl who continually keep- on a- smiling . Bubbles appears to be a quiet girl in school but we wonder if she is so, away from school. Huh ' . ' ' Her talent in drawing is regarded approvinglj l everyone and we hope that she will continue making use of her ability in this type of work. Her work in the commercial de- partment has also been meritorious. Keep on being a bundle of sunshine, Mabel! 18 1933 Methuen High School VIRGINIA ESTHER BELLONDI ginnie At our school was a girls ' secret club known as the Cum Later society. Ginnie was president of it. The day Gin arrived at school on time we celebrated, didn ' t we? Fortunately, Virginia is good-natured and broad-minded and can stand fcr any kidding . We like her for her per- petually smiling and happy countenance. When you go to the dramatic school of your choice, Gin , vou will have wishes for the best of luck from all vour classmates. BELMONT WILLIAM BERARDI ALhough Belmont is one of the quieter boys in the class, he is unceasingly friendly and obliging. We are sure that if all the pupils in his home room were as quiet and attentive, Miss Gavitte would have an ideal class. He has acquired many friends in school, and here ' s hoping he will be equally well-liked in future years! AGNES RUTH BOUMILA Class Day Committee 4 Agnes is a girl with a good circle of friends. She is a quiet and friendly classmate. Even though she is not a big shot in school, she is very studious and, coupled with her gift of ever ready friendship and clear thinking, we are sure that she will be heard from as a successful entrant in the commercial field. We hope that all the com- plimentary reports as to your ability will come true, Agnes. MILDRED CHANDLER BRAGDON millie Millie is a very sociable girl. Her many friends appreciate her sunny outlook and warm greetings. Seemingly a trifle reserved, Mildred soon exposes her sociable trait to everyone who meets her. We wonder why she goes to the Post Office so many times a week! Don ' t ask any ques- tions! Lo f s of luck in anything vou undertake, Millie. 19 Methuen High School 1933 ; FLORA JULIA BROWN Field Hockey 4 Flora is a charming, little maid who has taken part in many social affairs. After her experiences with runners and chemistry experts, it was only natural for her to become an active participant in field hockey. All admire her wealth of wavy, blonde locks on her noble, little head. Her daintv manners and cheerfulness have accounted for her popularity. These desirable qualities will win many friends for you in the future. Flora. GEORGE TYLER BYRNE Basketball 4 Traffic Squad 4 Various Committees BMtNMK s Track 3, 4 .luninr Play Lieutenant. Cadet Corps 4 The bashful boy — that is what many claim Tvler to be. Even if he is bashful among les femm.es, Tvler is sociable and is well-liked by all. He delights in playing pranks on his classmates and sometimes on the teachers. He was a valuable member of the basketball and track teams. Whether hi- opinions arc in accordance, or not. with tin- teachers ' , he is a strong debater. ELIZABETH CAMERON i(t. 1 1 1 ' Betty i- .i sweel Mule girl who. although rather bashful, i- always smiling. She takes her studies seriously and is certain to succeed in life. Because of Iter demure appearance, the male ele- ment of our (las- has been rather hesitant in acquainting themselves with this attractive young lady. We are sure that your genuine interest in your calling will win the esteem f all your friends, Betty . HAZEL MERLE CARR Hazel is a good example id a hard-working girl. She has that splendid ability to mind her own business and. it -lie continues to do so. she will continue to be well-liked. Her particularly whole- hearted interest in French translations and her ap- parent delight in doing a little more than is re- quired, inspire our respect. X hatever success she ma attain in later life will certainly be deserved. 20 1933 Methuen High School WILLIAM CHADWICK bill chad Football 3, 4 Sergeant Major, Cadet Corps 4 Bill is one of the quieter members of our cla?s, but he has made many firm friends among his classmates. Bill succeeded in making a name for himself as a football player. Some day we wouldn ' t be surprised to hear that his botanical efforts won first prize at some flower show. (Bill has a yearning towards agriculture, you know. I We wish you a happy and successful life, Bill . MARY FRANCES CIARDELLO Mary appears to be one of the modest members of our class, although she really has a charming personality. We know that whatever Mary under- takes to do in later life will prove successful, and therefore we wish her luck with all sincerity. NANCY HILL COLLINSON Field Hockey 4 Basketball 3, 4 Nancy made her letter in field hockey and basketball during the past year. She is a fine student and received high marks in all of her studies. We wish you as much success in your future school life as you have had here. FREDERICK BROOKSBANK COOK cookie freddy Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 No longer can we call him Freddy, the Fresh- man , as the song goes, because he is one of the elite . He is rather bashful with the fair damsels. Although slightly backward and bash- ful, he is often seen conversing confidentially with some shy girl. Freddy is an apt student and is clever as a clerk of a grocery store. Loads of luck, Cookie, old boy , and may you be the proud owner of a store some day! 21 Methuen High School 1934 HELENE RITA COX Field Hockey 4 At first we thought Helene was one of the quiet members of our class but when we became acquainted we found her to be a real, friendly conversationalist. Her sedateness and hospitality are two of her many as?ets. She leaves school regretfully this year but will always have the satisfaction of looking ba°k to years that were well spent at M. H. S. our remarkable class- room work lias not been in vain. Helene! HAZEL VIRGINIA CRA EN Hazel is one of our smallest and quietest class- mates. She is. however, ambitious and we know that such a desirable quality will make her suc- cessful in anv endeavors which she applies herself to. The very best of luck to you. Hazel. STEPH MI I ' M LINK DAS Field H..rke 2. 3 stephie Basketball 2, 3 Stephie was very good in field hockey. Her lnt wa- In -top her opponent 1 gentlv knocking her down. This must have been a pleasure for the opponent as Stephie ' is such a -mall girl. (Oh. yeah! i She is immensely interested in draw- ing. She draws as much a she can and. if you want to see her during a study hour, go up to Mi-- Staples ' s room. There -he will be. Good luck. Stephie ! Ml III VNNE DONOVAN Junior l ' !a Ruth i- a cute hotcha redhead. She has been a congenial companion during the years she ha« been with us. One of the long roles in the Junior plav — that of Dagmar Carroll — was performed by Ruth in good style. -k Ruth what she think- of bicycle riding. With your many favorable quali- ties and fine friends. Ruthie. we know that nothing but success await- you in the outside world. 22 1933 [ethuen High School RITA EDITH DOYLE Basketball 2, 3, 4 Field Hockey 2. 3. 4 Rita is a popular, athletic girl. The way she and Jennie Backs could score baskets on the court is deserving of praise. Credit must be given her for her strenuous efforts and her success in making good. Rita is everyone ' s pal and we certainly treasure her friendship. ' We can ' t help but be- lieve that she will make many more friends. Best of luck, Rita. STANLEY WILKINSON DREW How the girls do love to see if they can make Stanley blush. Although he is shy, ' Stan is a talka ' ive classmate. He has made a great many lasting friendships as a result of his sunny and sociable nature. (And Rita and he always were such pals! ) We ' ll have to admit Stan is 0. K. Here ' s wishing him success in whatever he may tackle in the coming years. LUCIE DRIGIAN Lucie ' s willingness to make friends has won the approbation of all who know her. She was an active member of the field hockey squad and made her numerals. Although she has been the butt of many-a-joke, she has always taken them with a smile. Continue to take it in the same friendly spirit, Lucie. Her friends will always regard her as a good sport and a pleasant companion. Lots of luck, Lucie! ELLA ELIZABETH ELM betty Betty is a quiet and studious girl who is studying hard to attain business knowledge that will be of help to her in future years. Her ability as a pianist also has increased her circle of friends. May you continue to cultivate your winning ways, Betty . 23 Methuen High School 1933 WILFRED ALFRED FINDEISEN finny Football 4 Since Wilfred lives out on the farm, he is very fond of health-giving, outdoor sports. He became so enthused in a ' .hletics that he came out for foot- ball in his Senior year and had the good fortune of winning a letter. There is one thing, however, that Finny does not care for. That certain thing happens to be English. His dislike of Eng- lish was made up by his ardent interest in Chemistry. Good luck. Wll! EILEEN GERTRUDE FLANDERS Eileen is one of the quieter members of the class while in school. But outside ..well, that is another storv. She has a good disposition and a sweet smile for everyone. e wish you success in your future life, Eileen. ll.l.l M FRANCIS FORD mil Quartermaster, adel r - 4 Traffic Squad 1 Bill, the business man. Bill aims for the foremost in the commercial field. His ability for keeping accounts made bim an ideal Quarter- master in the Cadel Corps. He is also candid and does not besitate for one instant to express his opinions on an) matters nuclei discussion. Maj your talent in business, just like Henrys, add many dollars to your pockets, ' Bill ! DONALD SAMUEL FOSS fossii dinty Football 1. 2. 3 Lieutenant. Cadel C .. r j - 4 Baseball 3, 4 ear Hoof,- Business Manager 4 Various Committees Traffic Squad 4 Dinty is one of the joll) jesters of our class. Although lie take- bis studies ra her lightly, we know he is capable of succeeding in life. Dint —your cheerful disposition has been a great asset to our class. We are sure thai you have made many friends and we are glad to have you among us. Keep your sunny side up and you ' ll come through with a bane! 24 1933 Methuen High School EVA MILDRED FOX We can ' t divulge any inner qualities of Eva. She is so quiet; we never heard her speak about her plans. Eva is pretty, unquestionably pretty, and how attractively she dresses! Her peculiar bashfulness and her — er, ah — may we say coquet- tish greeting? — makes her all the more alluring among the boys. (These dreamy, quiet girls are so rare! ) We believe Eva is capable of doing great things, piness, Eva! Best wishes for success and hap- ARAM FRANKLIN Orchestra 1. 2. 3, 4 Basketball 4 An appropriate title for our Aram would be Meezie , the Midget. But what Aram lacks in size he makes up for in spirit. What a picture we saw when he played against that six-footer from Groton on the basketball court. Oh, yes, Meezie is one of our best basketball players. He also controls his fiddle very well. We cant imagine how we could enjoy our class affairs with- out Aram being there. Aram, you have the dis- tinction of being our class baby boy. However, do not let that stop you from doing big things. EDNA FREIJE Wherever Edna may be her radiant smile, con- tagious laugh, and sociable characteristics are felt by all her acquaintances. It may seem need- less for us to say that her pleasing personality is a great asset towards achieving her objective. She appears to be a quiet girl in school but we pre- sume she isn ' t so sedate outside of school. We wonder! Good luck to you, Edna, in the years to come! TOPHIE WILFRED FREIJE Tophie is an unassuming fellow with a pleasant smile for everyone. He spends considerable time at local golf course? and is quite proficient, having won the Merrimack Valley caddy golfing cham- pionship. We admir e his well-dressed and tidy appearance. If reports are true, he ' s right there when it comes to stepping out with the fair sex. We all hope that Tophie ' s push will win him an important place in life. 25 Methuen High School 1933 GERTRUDE GEBELEIN certie trudy Field Hockey 4 Gertie is a quiet, bashful, but reliable girl. Actually, she is a very quiet person but quietness does not deter her from getting good grades on her report card. She is musically inclined, play- ing a banjo exceedingly well. She was also actively intere-ted in athletics, having received a letter in field hockev and going strong for gym- nastics. She has definite aims and intends to climb hijdi in life. Good luck. Gertie! THOMAS JOSEPH GEBO. Jr. tom ' Tom is the fellow who takes up half the cor- ridor with hi- shoulders. Whenever you want Tom , the best thing to do is to find Turkey Giles — they ' re as close as their pictures. Although quiet in classes, he is different when in a crowd. I How good is your memory. Tom? Do you re- call the night of January 1 at Shadow Lake ' . ' i Interested in aviation, he plans to attend an avia- tion school in the future. Happy landing. Tom ! FRANK STI KT GILES, Jr. l I rkey ji ious I ommittees .1 iininr Plaj ( la-- III Picture Committee 1 l-i Sergeant, Cadel Corps 1 Track 2. 3, Captain 4 Football 3, 4 c have the pleasure of introducing to you. this time, Frank S. Giles, Turkey for short. He i- the boj with that genial smile. When we see that smile, we know some unexpected surprise is in the air. His work in track was outstanding. He was elected captain in hi- Senior year as a result. Turkey is also a great dramatic per- former. He is popular with the boys and the uirls. too! The land oi success is far away, but keep on running and you ' ll get there. Frank. RITA I ' M LINE GOEBEL Rita think- it best to look on the brightest side n| life and. bv following this policy, she has won man) friends for herself. She has a tendency to keep quiet. Try to overcome your shyness, Rita, and try to take a more active part in social affairs. We have noticed how you smile away your troubles and we admire you for your courage. A eirl like you i- needed in every vocation. 26 1933 Methuen High School MATILDA PATRICIA GRINKA Basketball 2, 3, Captain 4 Field Hockey 2, 3, 4 Student Council, Secretary 4 Girls ' A. A. General Chairman 4 An all-round good sport — that ' s Tillie . She has captured many laurels in basketball and hockey, as well as the hearts of many of the male members of the school. We were certainly lucky to get Tillie from Lawrence High School. We wish you the very best of luck, Tillie. RICHARD HAMILTON GUMB ' dick gumby Captain, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Junior Play Boys ' Glee Club 3 Richard, nicknamed Gumby by his classmates, is a popular fellow. The most conspicuous thing about him is his laugh. This laugh is between a roar and a guffaw. It can be heard all over the school when something strikes Richard as being funny. He was the Personnel Adjutant of the Cadet Corps with the rank of captain. Lots of luck, Dick , old pal! IRENE HARRISON Salutatorian Junior Play Irene is one of the most intelligent members in our class. She is brilliant in all of her subjects, and excels in English. She has made many friends during her school career, and we know she will make many more when she is out in the world. She is a good sport, and an ideal class- mate. We are proud of you, Irene. WILLIAM HUGHES HARRISON bill Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Basketball 3, 4 Bill has been persistent in all his studies and activities. The possession of a facility for forming friendships causes him to be a well-known young man. We must compliment him for being an able officer in the Cadet Corps. We wonder if he ' ll be a chemist or a Latin teacher. Whatever may be his calling, a keen inclination to forge ahead will enable him to gain a desirabb position in life. 27 Methuen High School 193: ELIZABETH MARY HAWKINS Elizabeth is one of the quieter members of our class. She is well liked by all and always is in good humor. Although she does not take part in any of the school sports, she is a steadv booster of the athletic teams. She is headed for a happy and successful life. FRIEDA ELIZABETH HELLENER fritzik Basketball 3. 4 Fritzie . as she is known among intimate friend-, plaved on the girls ' basketball team, showing fine ability. Her capability to dance well has made her popular at a certain dance hall. In her English class, she has revealed skillful origi- nality in the individuality of her speeches. She ha - devoted much effort and has tried hard in commercial studies. We are quite sure that she will be successful in the world. Good luck. Fritzie! MABEL E ELYN HILL Mabel i- just as big-hearted as she is large in stature. Our class just wouldn ' t be complete with- out Mabel ' s giggles, either. In her four years of high school she has brightened manv classes with her laughing and chuckling. Keep on brightening things and you are bound to succeed, Mabel. AMY HOBBS Here i- a sweet little girl who continually looks on the bright side of life. We admire Amy for her sincerity and frankness. These two qualities accounted for her being liked by both pupils and leather-. When Ann leaves Methuen High, we wonder what Norman will do. Her aptitude in typewriting and efficiency in general commercial work lead us to believe she will amount to much in the business world. 28 1933 Methuen High School BETTY HOPKINSON Betty is a cute little girl with taciturn ways. Whenever you see Betty you will notice her friend. Lila Stowers, accompanying her. Long after graduation, we feel sure these two chums will talk over the happy days spent at M. H. S. Betty is well-liked by everyone and in whatever career she may direct her abilities, she has the best wishes of all for success. ALBERT JAMES HORNE al Trade 2. 3. 4 Lieutenant. Cadet Corps 4 Traffic Squad 4 Various Committees Al came from Florida to join our class in the Sophcmore vear. He has impressed us with that touch of Southern drawl. We were indeed for- tunate in having him as a classmate. His track record in the mile run has added considerably to the success of our team. A sociable nature has made him popular among the boys — and the girls, too! Good luck to you, Al in whatever you do! CHARLES THOMAS HYDER charlie Charlie joined our class in our Senior year and we were glad to have him as a member. He is one of those pupils you can depend upon to recite every time they are called upon. Charlie is bashful and was also one of our women-haters. Keep up your good work, Charlie, and ( who knows? ) some day you may be a famous district attornev or a leading economist! RICHARD KITSON HYNES dick Captain. Cadet Corps 4 Football 2. 3 How he slays those girls! Dick ' s red hair and ever friendly smile make him one of the most popular fellows in the school. His knowledge of military training has been a great aid to the cade ' .s. Dick liked to have a lot of fun and when we part we shall miss his pleasant per- sonalis. Into whatever calling you may apply your attention. Dick , we are sure your smile will assist in making good! 29 Methuen High School 1933 RICHARD RANDLETT IRVING hotcha Exchange Editor. Blue and White 4 Track Manager 4 Junior Plav Ivy Orator Boys Glee Club 2. 3 Orchestra 1. 2, 4 Richard ' s musical and dramatic talent deserve commendation. We are especially pleased with his performance at our afternoon socials. As Editor of the Exchange Column of the Blue and White, he made the best showing yet. This was due to his hard work and he deserves to be com- plimented for arousing interest in an ordinarily drv department. We hope he will make as ex- cellent a record in College as in high school. BERNARD CHARLES JACKSON berni First Sergeant, Cadet Corps 4 Berny is quiet but jovial which accounts for his being liked bv everybody be comes in contact with. He was a very active cadet, like his brother, and was first sergeant of Company D. He was aUu a -Jim l- enthusiast, i spei ialh in football. Mi- interest in rifle shooting has won him a few medals. We wish you loads of luck in the future. Berny ! WALTER AUGUSTINE JACKSON Major, Cadel Corps 4 Junior Plaj Committee Traffic Squad, Captain 4 Various Committees Neat and natty — that was our Major. Wallet was noted for his stylish and well-dressed appear- ance everywhere he went. He was a witty person among his colleague- and his humor was a boon to the classes he attended. Walter was a cheer leader which accounted for the lively response of the fair sex. s we say so long ' to Walter, we extend best wishes for success in whatever held he ma j follow. JOHN JESSEL Basketball Manager 4 John, you know, is one of the brightest fellows in our class. His fine character and hard work have endeared him to us. John always appreciates good humor and can take a joke. He was ap- pointed basketball manager— a position he de- servingl) acquitted himself of. His persiste.it manner -hows u that he will go a long way on the road of sticce-s. keep up the hard work. John. Rome wasn ' t built in one day! 30 1933 Methuen High School WITHOLD EDWARD JESSIE jess Track 3, 4 Jess is a fine fellow. He is a quiet boy who seemed to take life and homework seriously. He is always happy and whenever he meets you, he greets you with a cheery smile. We certainly missed his blue roadster , though his sister was the only girl upon whom ' the honor to ride in it was bestowed. . . until Jeannette came along. But all kidding aside, Withold has been a well-liked classmate. DORIS ALBERTA JOHNSON dot Junior Play Doris is one of the sweetest girls in our class. At least she ought to be, considering the fact she is at the candy counter. Doris also exhibited rare dramatic skill in the Junior Play. She is cheerful and that is possibly why there is no depression in the candy business. In French class she beat us all, but we ' ve just heard that she ' s turned Dutch . Lots of luck, Doris. HELEN GERTRUDE JUST Just what this quiet girl ' s ambitions are, very- few people know. Sometimes, Helen, you make us suspicious, and we wonder if you are always so quiet and bashful. We have proof of your hard labor by hearing of your musical efforts and your satisfactory grading. Still, the class of 1933 is kept guessing about you. We have come to one conclusion, however, you are a lady to the core. We wish you success, Helen! ROBSINA KAMBEGIAN Robsina made commendable progress in the commercial department. We were used to hearing her clicking heels during fifth period on Fridays as she went about collecting lunch money for the Cafeteria. She was an efficient collector, we dare- say. Some day, Robsina, you may be treasurer of some bank. Who knows? At least, we feel sure that your course has been worthwhile and every little duty you perform here is just so much ex- perience. Good luck, Robsina! 31 Methuen High School 1933 MARY MOMCA KAUPIMS Because of an athletic inclination. Mary was actively interested in gymnastics. She partici- pated in basketball and although she did not win a varsiLy letter, she made her numerals. Seem- ingly noisy among the girls, she is just as none- too bashful in the presence of young men. She doesn t know what it is to be depressed — at least her happy talkativeness and beaming countenance suggest so. We hope that you will alwavs keep that genuine, pleasant smile when you leave school. Mary. RAYMOND FRANCIS KENT hay kenty Captain, (add Corps 4 Various Committees Traffic Squad 4 Assistant Business Manager. Blue and W hite 4 ■ ' Ray joined our class in the Junior year, having come from Lawrence High. His un- satisfied desire to eat and ea ' and eat ice cream seemed never to be appeased. That ' s probably uhv he moved up around ( all ' s. Don ' t judge him by the rather glum look in the picture.. If we could only tell about all his funny antics! He was ,i smiler and a cheerful fellow all of the time. Continue being so, Raj FREDERICK KARL KE1 HNER Football 4 Track 4 Karl came to our school just this year, but within a couple of weeks we got to know him as il In had always been in our class. Right off the bat he t hi- position as quarterback on our football train. He ' s sporting a dandv sweater with a big M on it as a re-ult of his sterling work. His Hash) smile bas attracted so main of the fair sex thai we dubbed him Heartbreaker . Till we I not, Tillic i meet again ! NICHOLAS KHOURY mi k ' ■ irk is a quiel boy! You know — one oJ those fellows who is either talking, laughing, or veiling. With all his fooling, Nick ' jzrt good marks! Though he is popular with the boys be is quite bashful before the girls. Nick ' has also been one of the mo-t punctual members of the Hi- 1 Club, too. We heard that he does not snore in his sleep. That is probably because he is un- ambitious. Good luck. Nick , don ' t pive up! 1933 Methuen High School MALVINA BERTHA KVARACEJUS It is rather difficult to write about Malvina. She says so little! Her attention to the teachers has kept her out of the trouble some of us noisy ones get into. She is a reliable young lady, too. Her walks to the high school will probably be long remembered by her. The .long hike up Lawrence Street and the tiring climb up Baptist Hill cannot be forgotten by anyone who does them daily. Good luck to you, Malvina! ALBINA CHRISTINA KWARACEJUS Albina is one of the quieter members of our class but is well-liked by all. She is a friendly, sociable girl and has made many friends during her high school course. Albina and Aldona — just like Mutt and Jeff — go together. She is quite a piano player, also. We wish you luck in ail your endeavors, Albina, after you receive your diploma. RUTH ISABEL LABONTE Ruth is an accomplished dancer and has estab- lished quite a reputation by her fine performances at various affairs. Her friendly disposition will never stop winning new friends for her, and especially will her mischievous eyes always aid in making new boy friends. Even though she resides way out in the sticks , she does not hesi- tate for one moment to attend our social functions. May success crown your chosen work, Ruth. DOROTHY MABEL LAMBERT dot Dot is a very attractive girl who always has a smile for everyone. She is very sociable and is well liked by all her classmates. She is a great favorite among the fellows of the class and also among fellows out of school. We wish you all the success in the world, Dot . 33 Methuen High School 1933 c£. ELEANOR LANE Eleanor, why are you so bashful and quiet? V e wonder if you are always so quiet. ou know. Eleanor. Still waters run deep. ' Is it because of vour bashfulness that you don ' t pay anv attention to the other sex? All kidding aside. Eleanor, may your days be filled with happiness in the future. -cV CHARLES LEO LAROCQUE charlie Baseball 4 Charlie is one of the talle t boys in the class. He is full of vim and vigor. His humorous and witt) pleasantry forces us to conclude that with- out him ttie class of 33 would be minu- a valuable member. Just take a look at his friendlv smile. He i always like that. That is why we all treasure bis friendship. Some of his pep was used in sliding around the bases. Always keep on smiling, Charlie ! DON l.l) IcL RE LIDDELL Hon m inn Orchestra 1. 2. 3, I Track 2 Donald reminds us of Professor Einstein: h n plays the violin well and is a good, sincere scholar. He was our Mai Hallet. Will we forget the enjoyment his Syncopators offered us at the i lass parties? Keep up your musical interests! We feel thai he will be successful in whatever undertaking he maj choose, because of bis deter- mined attitude. May our opinion of you prove to be correct in the future. Don ! WW BARBARA LOCHES Field Hockej I ima i- quiet. However, she is an ardent sup porter of class activities. When we are once ac- quainted with her, we realize that she is an asso- ciate worth knowing. Vie are sure that in whatever career she may interest herself, her quiet manner will be a great asset. Many successful person- have become o because they had as their motto. ' Silence is Golden . 34 1933 Methuen High School EDWARD TRUMBULL LOWELL teddy Baseball 3, 4 Teddy is one of our little boys with a big heart. His sociable attitude and easiness in acquiring friends account for the fact that once he makes a friend he always keeps him. We must not forget to mention that Ted belongs to the Brownies organization. The Brownies sure gain by his athletic ability. He was an eager baseball player, having a regular berth at short- s op. Lots of luck, Ted . NORMAN MACK mackie Basketball 4 Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 Various Committees Norman has a certain quality which women crave. However, even though he possesses a man- ner of speech and a smile which arouse female admiration, he has a hard time getting around a certain fat teacher. Mackie has made school a lively place. We hope that even if school is over, he will continue his secret fraternity plans. He made his M in basketball, displaying fine form. Good luck, Comrade! ALDONA EVE MAZUTAVITCH Class Queen Aldona is beautiful. Her deep blue eyes, lux- uriant hair, and lovely and shapely face intrigue us. She is a true queen of pulchritude. Always cheerful, she showed us how to chase away the blues. We caution her, however, to be careful with that radiant smile. There ' s liable to be a very serious conflict among the handsome beaus with whom she is so popular. We wish you bon voyage and a happy life in whatever road you choose to travel, Aldona. EUGENE FRANCIS McAULIFFE gene mac Captain, Cadet Corps 4 Football 3, 4 Year Book Staff 4 Baseball 4 Traffic Squad Assistant Basketball Manager 3 Various Committees Gene is prominent because of his mellow ( ? ) voice. He was the boy who was continually getting bounced out of Miss Allen ' s English class. A happy-go-lucky nature accounts for his popularity among students and perplexity among teachers. Gene had his happiest moment when awarded a football letter. This jolly, flirtatious traffic of- ficer has been the cause of many a girl coming late into her class. So long, Gene , and good luck! 35 Methuen High School 193: «p« EVERETT WELLS McLEAN Lieutenant. Cadet Corps 4 Various Committees Athletics Editor. Blue and White 4 One of the good-natured members of our class is Wells McLean. He is a very humorous and amiable person. Wells is one of our Smiling Lieutenants in the M. H. S. C. C. too. His fine school spirit has made him a very popular mem- ber among the boys. W e are sure that your will- ingness to help others is going to be an important factor in helping you attain your goal. JOHN McNEE mac Do you remember the popularity of John as an usher at the Methuen Theatre? His devil-mav- care attitude has made him a pleasant companion. His discourse on literarv classics and gram- matical intricacies lead us to suspect Mac of making early efforts to be a literary critic. John was one oi the few boys in the Commercial Dept. and happened to be the only male in one of Miss Whitehead ' s classes! Best wishe-. John! RONALD MIDDLETON KONNl Ronnj i one of our more serious members. We don ' t mean serious to the point where he has no time for humor: he is always readv to listen to a good joke. Rminv spends a considerable por- tion oi his time at the Y. M. C. A. where he is a leader. He will w.ilk softly because he is quiet and unassuming, but his attentive and observing faculties will aid whatever course he chooses to follow . I )( !! TI h ELIZABETH MOORE Dill I aledictorian Junior l ' lay Picture Committee, Chairman 4 The most intelligent of us all. Besides holding this honor. Dolly took an active nart in all clas affairs during her ears in high school. She had one of the leading parts in the Junior Play. Her dramatic ability is splendid, We will never for- get how she rooted s, willingly and enthusiastic- ally at our football games. She is a true booster. She is well liked by the boys and girls but par- ticularly by a certain fellow named Frank! We are sure of her success. 36 1933 Methuen High School JAMES RICHARD NICHOLSON jimmy nicky football 3, 4 Traffic Squad 4 Lieutenant, Cadet Corps 4 The likable personality of Jimmy will always be vividly alive among us. His death was a great blow to the entire school — especially to our class. We cannot forget how unselfishly he fought as a regular lineman on our team. The Cadet Corps will remember him as an officer of the highest character. The words of Rev. Mr. Jenkinson express a true sentiment: Though the material universe itself should perish, as the bodies of men perish, love and personality will not perish. DORIS JUNE NORTHEN Doris greets everyone with a friendly smile. She is sociable with everybody with whom she comes in contact. Doris has shown her talented ability as a tap dancer several times at social functions in the Central School Hall. Keep on smiling in that likable manner and you will con- quer any tough obstacle. MARGARET MARIE PARKER magcie Mag°ie is one of our beauties. In school, she impresses us as being rather aloof but at dances at dances she is in her glory! To have her in one ' s arms under the spell of a dreamy waltz must be ecstasy. Her very, very attractive features and always new array of apparel certainly account for her popularity among the boys. We know you hate the nickname Maggie , but we are only teasing you, and teasing is a form of true admira- tion. ANTHONY PAULOWSKAS tony An ' Tony is a quiet little fellow who does not say anything until called upon. Reports come to us that his knowledge of European History is the envy of students. (Watch out, Mr. Beaumont, here ' s stiff competition for your posi ' ion!) Some say Tony is bound to be a great saxophonist and. in addition, a crooner! He pays strict at- tention to Rudy Vallee ' s radio programs. May you attain as high standards, Tony ! 37 Methuen High School 1933 DOROTHY LOUISE PEDLER dot This jolly classmate ' s cheerful smile will be retained in our memory long from now. She is always prepared to laugh at a joke which add- stress even more upon the happy nature of her personality. She i s never seen in room iine without her sidekick, Doris Northern This af- fable tvpe of girl is sure to bring nothing but credit to our class. May success come your way. Dorothv!

William, all of us wish vou good luck in your undertakings. 38 1933 Methuen High School CORA REBECCA RILEY Cora may be small but that certainly does not hinder her from voicing her opinions on various things being discussed. Usually, we see Cora walking about in her peppy fashion, making wise remarks and joking statements. We forgive you for all that, Cora. We can ' t help but forget and forgive all those pert remarks, Cora! Best of luck! MAVIS ROBINSON Field Hockey 4 Mavis believes that it pays to see the bright side of all things. It was through her sunny dispo- sition that she worked her way into our midst as a sound friend. She is a hit with certain boys and keeps them busy. She is a charming dancer from the West End and may be found at the Stephen Barker School on Friday evenings. We can foresee in the crystal that your future will be pleasant, Mavis! EVELYN ANNE MARIE SAULNIER A dignified girl with a dignified name! Evelyn doesn ' t like boys, at least she appears not to be- cause of her faithful way of attending to business. Her seriousness and quietness could be profitably followed by some of the not-so-quiet students. Her calm manner and courteous way arouse our envy. Truly, she is like a soothing tonic for irritable, nervous people! Your quiet temperament is a valuable characteristic. Evelyn! WILLIAM SMALLRIDGE SEARLE bill Football Manager 4 ■ Bill is one of our few boys who have managed to escape the lures of the weaker sex. He was the manager of the football team and conducted this task very well. His friendship is valued a great deal by us. His expression and comment upon the various topics of discussion in the various groups have always been listened to attentively. Good luck to you. and may your chosen work, whatever it may be, give you happiness. 39 Methuen High School 1933 I , -, $i GILBERT SETTLE red Football 3 Junior Play Committee If vou desire to forget your trouble? and care?, just drop in to see Red .

He takes great interest in sports, in fact, his enthusiastic sports talk starts much com- ment by various sports fans. We hope that our prediction that Kenny will have joyful ex- periences during life will come true! EVERETT CAPRON SMITH smitty Orchestra 2, 3, 4 Everett is a quiet but very studious classmate. It seems unbelievable that there are some of us who really and sincerely love to study! Everett does. Consequently, he rates very highly in music. He has made many steadfast chums at the Edward F. Searles High School and we hope he makes just as many at Yale University. RUSSEL EATON SMITH rusty smitty Rusty is a happy-go-lucky boy who has won many friends by his cheerful smile.

We hope to hear of you as a theatrical magnate some day, John! 41 Methuen High School 1933 WINIFRED MARJORIE STOTT winme Junior Flay Alumni Editor.

Her role was executed in a capable manner. At almost every social function of the school. Winnie was accompanied by a certain young man. A penny (Penney) for your thoughts is a statement that makes her blush, when the penny is stressed. BETTY MORRIS STOWELL Girl Reserves.

She is also active in athletics, having won her letter in field bockey. We are sure that with her congenial disposition she will always have a host of friends. EI LA DOW STOWERS Lila is an excellent example of chesrfulner-s united with a willingness to help others. Her dark brown eyes add much to her personality and attractiveness.

Now that he has his eye on Bentley ' s, let ' s hope he graduates with as high dis- tinction from that institution as from Methuen High. Bob was also a star pitcher on the baseball team. Always shunning the society oi women, he surprised us by centering his attentions on a par- ticular Avis . None of us is immune from the wiles of tlie fair maidens, eh? Success to you.

LESTER ALLYN WHITMAN Lester ' s unfailing good humor has made him u favorite with all his acquaintances. He is a very active fellow because of his acrobatic talent.

Peggy . 45 Methuen High School 1933 as Jtfeinrtt ON a bright September morning of 1930, three young people trudged up Baptist Hill on their way to the Edward F. Searles High School, which was to be their place of learning for the next three years. Betty Lou, a very pretty girl, had waited all summer for this day to arrive. Oh! she said, I ' m so glad I ' m going to high school. Just think of the fun we ' re going to have! There ' ll be parties, dances, and no end of good times. I ' m so thrilled! Thrilled? Pooh! I ' m not in the least bit concerned, put in Johnnie, an overgrown boy of fourteen. I ' m only going because 1 have to. My mother wants to make me a successful business man. The-e women! But think of the things you ' ll be able to do in high school, interrupted Bill, a somewhat studious lad. You can be a cadet, play on the baseball team, and honor both yourself and your school In running down the Football field for a touchdown. You ought to think yourself lucky that you ran come to high school, lour mother i- right. I-n t it wise to have an educa- tion so that you ma he better equipped tor future competition in the world? There are plenty ol our classmate , ol last year who wi-h they could be with us, but who haven ' t the chance. They have to go to work. Look at me: I ' m not complaining. I want to learn all that 1 can. in preparation for college. By that time, they arrived at the entrance to the school. There the) met other friends, whom the had not -cm since June. Renewing acquaint- ances, they all entered the building into their home rooms. Alter the pupil- had received a few instructions, and schedule card- tor the daily cla--e-. they started for their first recitation. Betty Lou - first period was biology. She went up to a voung man. who -he thought looked accommodating, and asked, Will you please direct me to Room Ten. the biology room? 1 haven ' t the slightest idea where it i-. The boy, a Senior by the way, an-wered glibly, Room Ten i- at the head of the stairs on the third floor. After Betty had thanked him. -he hurried to the designated room. Imagine her embarrassment when she walked into a classroom ol boy-! They all laughed at her mistake and sent her blushing out into the corridor to find her way downstairs as well as she could. This same joking caused many a Sophomore to be late for class. After a few days, however, the Sopho- -16 1933 Methuen High School mores knew their way around and were no longer pestered by the so-called helpful Seniors. As Betty Lou and one of her Junior friends were walking home one day, Betty Lou was busy talking about the Sophomores ' first assembly. I ' m lucky, she said. Every one of my men was elected this morning for class office. Who are the fortunate fellows? asked the girl. Betty Lou, with a proud tone, answered, Billy Hutchinson, President; John McDermott, Vice-President; Billy Mann, Treasurer; and Peter Winn, Secretary. When she reached home, she told the good news to her mother, an ever- ready listener to school affairs. When the Seniors informed the Sophomores of the coming Hop, Betty Lou, especially, was excited. As she was walking through the corridors about a week before the event, Dick Talbot, a popular Senior, tapped her on the shoulder and motioned for her to step aside. Betty, would you care to go to the dance next Friday night with me? he asked. Too astonished to say anything, Betty remained silent for the moment. To think that Dick would ask her, when there were so many other pretty girls! Well! he said, interrupting her thoughts, I ' m waiting for your answer. All she could say was, Yes, I ' d love to go. Betty ' s joys were now complete. She was having the good time she had come to High School to enjoy. In the early spring the Sophomores held their first class party. The efforts of the committee, of which Betty Lou was a member, were rewarded handsomely, for the party turned out a social success. When June arrived, the Sophomores saw their first Senior chapel. Betty Lou was impressed by it and hurried home to tell her mother. Mother, it was one of the most solemn occasions I ' ve ever seen. I ' m sorry the Seniors have to leave; still, their departure brings us Sophomores one step nearer to our own graduation. We shall now be able to call ourselves Juniors. When September rolled ' round again, it brought with it the return of Betty Lou and her classmates. They felt quite superior to the new group of Sophomores, who aimlessly roamed from room to room. Don ' t mention the undignified Seniors of last year! They were incomparable to this year ' s class of Juniors. How they teased the poor new-comers! The bewildered Sophomores were sent anywhere but to the right place. The tormenting Juniors forgot how helpless they had felt when they entered the building for the first time the year before. After a few weeks had passed, however, the Juniors had a change of heart toward the Sophomores. They could he seen here and there occupied in conversation. Bill was seated on a bench talking to one of his Sophomore friends and asked, You have the new teacher, Mr. Ingalls, for Biology, 47 Methuen High School 1933 haven ' t you? I had Mr. Piper last year but he left. Mr. Noble went to another school too, but Mr. Beaumont, an old friend of yours from the Central, is filling his position. With the commencement of a new year, it was necessary to re-elect class officers. This year a girl was among the chosen. John McDermott was elected President; William Hutchinson, Vice-President: Betty Stowell. Secretary; and William Mann, Treasurer. Bill, who was now quite an athlete, was among the many Juniors who vied for honors in various sports. He, with many of his friends, worked hard on the gridiron; Betty Lou and her girl friends, on the hockev field. Their troubles were not in vain, however, for many were chosen to be on the varsity teams. After they had won their letters, thev were eligible to join the M club, an organization composed of students who had earned a letter in any sport whatever. Formerly, class rings had been bought in the Sophomore year, but by a large vote, this Class had consented to wait until it members were Juniors. Now that their Junior year had arrived, thev had the privilege of choosing a ring. Betty Lou was thrilled when she received hers. As soon a school was over, she rushed home to show her new ring. Oh. Mother! Isn ' t it beautiful? 1 11 feel proud when I show it to mv friends. ' ! Yes, dear, it i pretty, answered her mother. The gold reproduc- tion of Searles ' s tower on the black setting i unique. Ill wager there aren ' t many high schools which have so attractive a ring. Johnnie, although he disliked xhool work, enioyed the good time- and was present at every social I unction. He wouldn ' t consider lor a moment missing the annual class party. It ua- held December 11, in the High School hall. A short prophec) of the class was given which made the walls ol the hall echo with laughter. After the entertainment, dancing was enjoyed. Before the Christinas vacation, plans were under way tor the Junior play. The cast worked fervently, with the help of Mrs. Thompson, to make it both a dramatic and financial success. The play, The Goose Hang High , is a humorous storv ol a wealthv famih tinned poor. Alter main arguments, the children, who had wanted to go to college, decided to remain at home and help in the managing of the house. In June, the Class of L933 attended their eeond Senior chapel. It was much the same as the lir-1. the Senior- marching before them to the tune ol Auld Lang Syne , but it meant much more to them. It seemed to remind them that thev did not have much more time to spend in school, now that they were to become Seniors. When Betty Lou and her friends returned to school for the lasl time, in the fall of 1932. thev felt verv dignified and were delighted in hearing some lowly Sophomore say, She ' s a Senior. Won ' t you be glad when you ' re one! The newly-acquired name of Senior at first filled them with 48 1933 Methuen High School pride, but that soon wore off. After a few weeks, they had become accus- tomed to being Seniors and the thought no longer thrilled them. On account of the great number of pupils in the building this year, it was necessary to appoint a new teacher, Miss Kohler. Miss Stacey took the position left vacant by Miss Dugan. There were not many changes in the officers of the Senior year. John McDermott and Billy Hutchinson were re-elected President and Vice-Presi- dent respectively. Billy Mann was chosen Secretary, and Louis Pozycek, Treasurer. As is the custom of the school, the Seniors tendered the Sophomores a reception. The last class party of the Seniors ' High School days was held Novem- ber 23, in the hall. Under the direction of able members of the committee, it was a great success. At this time, Betty Lou and her friends learned with sorrow of the death of one of their most popular classmates, James Nicholson. He will be missed by everyone, for he was prominent in most school activities. He en- gaged in all sports and was also an officer in the Cadet Corps. The Annual Military Ball was held in the State Armory in Lawrence. Bill, because he had worked hard in the corps in his first two years of school, had now earned an officer ' s position. He and Betty Lou were one o f the many couples who attended. The boys in their neat uniforms and the girls in their various colored evening gowns made a beautiful contrast. One can truthfully say that it was one of the best ever conducted by the cadets of the Methuen High School. Don ' t think that the boys did all the good work. The girls made a great success of the demonstration, which this year, for the first time, was held in the form of a competitive meet. The girls of our class, having the greatest number of points, won the banner. For the first time in history, Methuen High School competed in a national track meet. Representatives of high schools, preparatory schools, and colleges from all over the country assembled at the University of Pennsylvania to do their best and try to take home the laurels. It is con- sidered an honor that Methuen was chosen as one of the few high schools to run in the relays. Now our High School days have fled. Some students are glad, others, sorry that they now must make their own way in the world. Whatever their feeling is toward their farewell to High School, time cannot be reversed. They must go on. Some in this class of 1933 have always drifted along. Like Johnnie, they never cared for work, and probablv never will accomplish anything worthwhile. Others, like Betty Lou. may have struggled a little, but amuse- ment always came first. Then again there are students who have studied, 49 Methuen High School 1933 like Bill, and have gained will-power, ambition, and perseverance from their education. They wanted to store up knowledge to use at some future time, for they knew that they could always make use of it. If your ways have been like those of Johnnie or Betty Lou in vour High School days, drop them now. You know yourself that you will never succeed in this world, if you always do as little as you can or put good times first. Make it your policy in the future to be like Bill. Work hard, be ambitious, gain all you can out of this world, and trv to earn fame and glory for yourself and for your former school. — Alberta Sharpe 50 1933 Methuen High School (!lk££ propljeqj By Betty M. Stowell and Charles Szostak A Couple of Hash Slingers, Well Trained at the M. H. S. Cafeteria. Time: Ten years from now. Betty: Hello, Charlie, I didn ' t know you were coming to this party. The others haven ' t come yet. I found something awfully interesting here — a scrap book. There are a great many newspaper clippings and other things about loads of people in our class. Do you want to look at it with me? Charlie: Yes, I ' d like to. Here ' s a bit of interesting news. Donald Foss and Aram Franklin, well-known florists, attribute their success to the famous fertilizers, manufactured by Stanley Drew and Nicholas Khoury; but we know the real key to their success. With all their hot air, Donald and Aram could raise flowers at the North Pole. Betty: Why look! Tyler Byrne has merged with Tirrell ' s News Agency and has the controlling interest. Yes, I always thought that Tyler would go far in the newspaper business. Charlie: And look here! John Jessel and Everett Smith, recent graduates of Harvard, are among the first ten in their class. In our old Class of ' 33 they were such bright boys that I often wonder how they find it dark enough to sleep. Betty: Did you read what it says here, Charlie? After the retire- ment of Jean Harlow and Zasu Pitts, directors Belmont Berardi and Wil- liam Turner feared that successors could not be found. However, their places were most ably filled by Margaret Parker, who practices most art- fully the wiles of Miss Harlow, and Lucie Drigian who will continue where Miss Pitts left off. None the less does Aldona Mazutavich fill the place left vacant by Joan Crawford. Perhaps her success is due in part to the ability of her private secretary and adviser, Albina Kwaracejus. Charlie: Robert Strauten, a promising recruit for the Boston Beaners, had the honor of striking out the League ' s leading batter, Edward Lowell, better known as ' Slugger Lowell ' of the New York Brewers. With the Boston Beaners was an old friend of ours, Charlie Larocque, the League ' s leading bat-boy. Betty: I went to Dolly Moore ' s exhibition yesterday. She is becoming quite famous as an artist. Frank Giles is perfectly content to just run errands for her. Well, he had plenty of practice in High School. Charlie: While I was speaking with Professor Karl Keuhner, a few days ago, he stated that he always weighed his words before speaking. No doubt, one cannot accuse the professor of giving short weight. 51 Methuen High School 1933 Betty: Since Flora Brown obtained her divorce, she has been doing a great deal of travelling with her Al . . . . imony. Charlie: Winifred Stott, an ardent advocate of Technocracy, ha recently been connected with the textile business. We can be sure that Winnie will control her new interest without difficulty. Betty: Here is pasted the television program for next week. Mon- day, a lecture by Virginia Bellondi. on ' Why Foolish Men Are Fools ' . Tuesday, a talk by Charles Hyder, on his adventures in Siberia. W ednes- day, a demonstration by William Chadwick, on how to play hockey. Friday, Gilbert Settle and his popular ' Fishy Stories ' will amuse the audience. Saturday, Ivy Sharp will recite her latest poems. Charlie: Kenneth Slack and William Shea, celebrating their eighth year in the pretzel business told this one to the reporter. One day, Kennie advertised for a salesman. Soon a man entered the office and asked for the job. A little discussion took place between them. Finallv. Kennie said, ' You are a man without experience and yet vou ask for high wages. 1 ' Well, sir, ' replied the applicant, ' it is harder to work when you know nothing about the job. ' Betty: I might have known il! Evelyn Clayton has broken all records in her wonderful exhibition at the Olympic Games. Nancv Collin- son was honored by being elected captain of the basketball team there. Aided by Stephanie Das. they surely helped to keep Methuen on the map. Charlie: Oh! Here is a scandal, Great interest is being shown in the case of Wells McLean, who is appearing before the court for bigamy. Judge William Searle will sit on this special case. Norman Mack, attorney for the defense, is one of Methueirs leading lawyers. District Attorney Richard Hynes will conduct the case for the people. In the jury, one will find many prominent men: among them. William Harrison, -tamp and antique col- lector; Withold Jessie and John Snow, movie magnate- of Methuen: Le ter Whitman, the great acrobat and contortionist: Raymond Kent. Baloney Baron; Wilfred Findeisen. big shot of the milk racket: Albert Home, track coach of the new Metluisalem University; and Richard Gumb. a former selectman. It is alleged that Wells McLean married Mavis Robinson. Margaret Tatone, Dorothy Lambert, and Tillie Grinka. Tommy savs that it was all done in fun. However, the court will decide the case. Betty: Look! Helen Cox. mad scientist, has been fired because while experimenting with chemical- in the basement, -he blew up the Empire Slate Building. We all remember how -he -tailed her mad career working with explosives in High School. Charlie: Eugene McAuliffe. Jr.. the popular undertaker, says that while all industries of the town arc working steadily, his business i- deader than ever. Who can doubt him? Betty: Alice Ackroyd, Famous pianist, reached the peak of her career when she played before the Royal Court in England recently. 52 1933 Methuen High School What a surprise we have here! Evelyn Saulnier is a Missionary in China. It is stated that she has converted many heathens just by her appealing piano melodies. Charlie: Frederick Cook and William Ford, champion salesmen, recently demonstrated their ability at the local airport. At the time, they were selling parachutes. A plane landed and the pilot climbed from it, minus the customary parachute. Both salesmen rushed eagerly to the potential customer and displayed their wares. ' What if the parachute doesn ' t open? ' asked the pilot. ' ' Oh, come back and we ' ll give you another one, ' replied the salesman, quickly. Betty: The just Helen Just is not just another Just, but has become a highly respected judge of the Supreme Court. She has a reputation for being the most just judge in the country. Charlie: John McDermott, one of the many good-looking boys of the Class of ' 33, having received his M. D. degree, recently completed a course in surgery. Now, he will probably do a great deal of cutting up. Betty: Here is an advertisement saying that Jennie Backs will give a skating exhibition at the Boston Garden in a few weeks. Jennie ' s path in life is surely a slippery one. Jennie attributes her success to her manager, Rita Doyle, a life-long pal. Charlie: A near riot was recently stopped at the Town Hall by Chief of Police William Hutchinson and Captain Raymond Walker. The newly organized political party, calling themselves ' The Maroons ' , and led by the erstwhile Professor Louis Pozycek and his allies, William Mann, Russell Smith, and Tony Paulowskas, was celebrating its unexpected victory in the annual election. However, the jolly antics of the victors soon attracted a huge crowd. The town ' s brass band, led by the famous musician, Richard R. Irving, and containing such celebrities as Walter Jackson and his Jew ' s harp, Ronald Middleton, and William Rennie, quickly appeared on the spot and added splendor to the occasion. Betty: Well, this is news. Amy Hobbs has been extremely success- ful in her new business of raising hens. The name of her extensive farm is The Norman Hen(ne)ry ' . Charlie: Galavanting Caloots Expected to Win! That ' s some head- line! Coach Al Taylor ' s band of warriors is expected to defeat Punchard High ' s iootball team when they meet at the Lawrence Street Stadium, this Saturday. Trainer Tophie Freije has kept the boys in the best of condition throughout the season. Coach Taylor himself has stated that his Gala- vanting Galoots will surprise the people and bring home the bacon. Betty: Our classmates have a few ads in this clipping. Hazel Craven is a florist. Dorothy Pedler is a dealer in all sorts of trinkets and wares. Alberta manufactures pencils guaranteed to be ever-Sharpe. Charlie: Here i- an advertisement in the amusement section. Come 53 Methuen High School 1933 and see the latest circus, sponsored by Mabel Beeley, Frieda Hellener, and Selma Assaf. Be sure to see the woman of many tongues, guaranteed to out-talk and out-roar any human being — Helen Ursillo! Do not fail to see the woman with a thousand eyes, Lila Stowers, whose motto is ' See all, seize all, and hold everything ' . Betty: Here is a picture of the barker of the circus, Irene Harrison. Listen, Charlie. Come see the woman who has not moved for nine years. She has lain on the same cot without moving all during that time, the woman who lives without moving, Eleanor Lane. Charlie: Here ' s a notice that Mabel Hill, Edna Freije, and Agnes Boumila have started a new business, a refreshment stand at the Lawrence Street Stadium. Hazel Carr and Ruth Donovan are kept busy making pretzels for them. Betty: Oh, Charlie, yesterday when I was at a beautv parlor. I saw Dorothy Trussell who has become a model for the famous hairdressers, Mildred Sugden and Marion von Dohrmann. Charlie: Look at this notice of foreign news. Mildred Bragdon has returned home to her famous tea room on the Riviera, where -he ha- a number of our former classmates as her assistants, Robsina Kambegian, Mary Ciardello, Malvina Kvaracejjus, and Mary Kaupinis. Cora Rilev i- her peppy entertainer, with the help of Peggy Wolfendale, a torch singer. ' Betty: Listen to this interesting piece. Doris Johnson i- now the owner of Kresge ' s five and ten. I guess after all her years of faithful service, they gave her the business. Some of the people in our class are working for her — Gertrude Gebelein i- on the gum. garter, and goldfish counter; Betty Hopkinson is the head buyer; Eileen Potvin is at the pans; Elizabeth Elm is on the tree counter: and Eva Fox i- selling fur-. Rita Goebel, after her long experience of carrying Miss Gavitte ' s tray, now wait- on at the lunch counter. Elizabeth Hawkins is the store detective. Florence Pozycek is general supervisor land how she must supervise). Charlie: Doris Northern, contrary to her name has thoroughly ex- plored the Southern region- with her helpful companion. Elizabeth Cameron, who was the photographer on the expedition. Betty: Here ' s the la-t clipping, a piece from the Tatler ' s column. Barbara Thomas, the one and only feminine engineer, was out West, i while ago, looking for well- (Wells)— oil well-. Barbara Thomas i- also interested in the Andes (Andee ' s). That ' s all the news there i . Charlie. Who would have thought when our Class of ' 33 graduated from High School, that we would be so widely scattered. Charlie: And in concluding, friend-. Oflence to you was not intended. So let these lines be comprehended. Let fun and wisdom all be blended. And, thus, our prophecy i- ended. 54 1933 Methuen High School (Wass PtU KNOW ALL MEN BY THESE PRESENTS, that We, the Class of 1933 of the Edward F.

Wynn Comedian 59 Methuen High School 1933 Sfrti ©raiton r nterprise is defined by Webster as a bold undertaking. M Very often, we think, when mentioning the subject enter- prise, of opportunity, the chance to better oneself and one ' s L position in life. After grasping then the opportunity, we venture upon an enterprise. No matter what the task is that we are to perform, we do not know what the result will be. The out- come is uncertain and, because of the uncertainty rather than the boldness, the task may be called an enterprise. To be so classified, an undertaking in life need not be spectacular. It need not be so outstanding as Colonel Lindbergh ' s flight across the ocean, nor so dangerous as Admiral Byrd ' s expedition to the South Pole. Let us take, for example, entering college. One would scarcely call that event spectacular. Why not? Because thousands of young people do it every year. Neither is entering college a daring feat. Of what is there to be afraid? If other people enter and come out the better for having been there, surely there is nothing to fear. And yet this entering of college is uncertain. One does not know whether or not he will be permitted to enter, and alter lie is accepted, has no assur- ance that he will remain. Hence, entering college is an enterprise mainly because of its uncertainty. u will agree too. that going to college is a worth-while thing. Became it i- both uncertain and worth-while, entering college is an enterprise. Fittingly, then, can we appk the word enterprise to every worth-while thing we do. Facing us, the Class of 1933. i- the tad thai within a very few days we shall be graduates of this High School. l this lime, we are about to start out upon an enterprise. For twelve years we have, in various ways, been preparing ourselves for this bold undertaking. For seven years we moved along together, constantly gaining the same kind and amount of knowledge, not only from books, but from our contacts with classmates and others ot the outside world. After the first seven years, we all began to choose different subjects to study. These small enterprises ol undertaking to learn new subjects, have led us through five more years of enterprises, and now we feel ourselves ready to progres- upon the e er diverging paths of life. The Class, as a whole, has been enterprising in choosing it leaders and in running its class affairs. These -mall enterprise-, growing in sig- nificance each succeeding year, have brought us to the point at which we are to separate, some for experience in dealing with life, and others for more book knowledge. This training in managing activities, although far too meagre for our needs in future life, forms the foundation, which will. in years to come, support our greater enterprises of life. The success of 60 1933 Methuen High School our work within the past twelve years now enables us to leave this High School. The profitable completion of our undertakings gives us courage to face our future life. It quiets our fears concerning the continuation of our education. We know we have done well in the past, and we look for- ward to doing better work in the years to come. Three years ago, we, the Class of 1933, took for our motto the Latin words, Vincit qui se vincit. This statement, He conquers who conquers himself , gives forth a challenge to every person to accomplish one of the greatest enterprises that can be undertaken by any man or woman, the enterprise of conquering oneself. This enterprise is so stupendous, that although it is one that every person should try to accomplish, it is one few attempt to follow through. If each person were to conquer himself, we would have a world akin to More ' s Utopia or to Harrington ' s Oceana. We all desire to be like and to respect the man who has conquered himself. We realize that he has had a hard struggle with his inner nature to overcome his faults. Since he has been successful in his combat against the desires and habits, which he knows he should not possess, we respect him more than we respect ourselves. He who has conquered his mind and his soul, not only wins the respect and admiration of his fellowmen, but also wins self-respect. We all know that the man who has conquered him- self and has gained greater regard for himself is much happier than for- merly, and feels at peace with the world. When a man has conquered himself, his inner self, the success of his battle shows in his work and in his everyday habits. Well do the words of John Milton, one of England ' s foremost poets, illustrate my point: He that has light within his own clear breast May sit i ' the center and enjoy bright day: But he that hides a dark soul and foul thoughts Benighted walks under the mid-day sun; Himself is his own dungeon. His friends, his partners, and men with whom he does business notice the characteristics of the man who has light within his own clear breast and give him greater business deference. The man whose enterprise of conquering himself has been successful is esteemed and sought by people who desire his help and his advice in dealing with all manner of situations. Conquering oneself need not be confined to the business world. The success of the enterprise of conquering oneself is a necessity in the intel- lectual, medical, theological, and legal worlds. To be proficient in any line of life work, a man must be above the reproach of his fellowmen and to be this kind of man he must, at some time in life, have conquered himself. And now, classmates, let us go forth from Methuen High School with two thoughts in mind; first, that every worth-while undertaking we set out to accomplish is an enterprise, and second, that the man who conquers himself successfully completes the greatest enterprise that any man can undertake. —Richard R.

First of all, let us tell what we have gained from being editors of this book. It has been a tremendous task. W hen we consider the time, effort, and energy spent in the making of this volume we learn to appreciate the work of journalists who work tirelessly day and night so that people may read the news of the world a few hours or even a few min- utes after the actual occurrences. We have learned much about journalism during the course of our editorship. Indeed, as far as mental attainment is concerned, we have profited, but as far as monetary matters go. we haven ' t acquired a single cent. Still, besides being a tremendous task; it has been a pleasure to work on this publication. We really enjoved it. Our originality has had to be limited because of the lack of sufficient finances, but we have endeavored to follow the high standards established in past publications as closely as possible and yet add some of our own originality at the same time. We have had to struggle against not-the-best- of circumstances in order to make this the lowest priced book of this type. As far as activities are concerned, we have listed a many a possible and have tried our best to li.-t a many of the important details as we could. There are such last-minute organizations a the tennis and rifle teams that ought to be mentioned. Also, compliments and best wishes for future suc- cess are extended to the Parent-Teachers Association for the interest shown in student activities. May we say this- our activities are fine and actual l worthwhile. However, it is our belie! that they arc all, more or less, major. If the coming classes would encourage minor fraternities which would bring to- gether groups that have an especial interest but take no part in school af- fairs, they would make a milestone in thi rapidly enlarging institution. There are students who do not participate in an activity at school but have a liking for certain things. Those who have an acute interest in scholarship could profit from an honor society. An artists ' club could be formed for pupils who like art and music. Benefit could be derived from a debating 62 1933 Methuen High School or public-speaking society. A commercial club for business-minded stu- dents would be worth-while or a dramatic club for Sophomores would give them experience for the class play. Thus, a greater interest in the school would be enlivened. It is eminently fitting that future Student Councils, as service organi- zations, try to make every student pursue some interest or be an active participant in some recreation at school. To our successors we give this parting advice — there ought to be a Junior class member on the staff who would automatically become editor in his Senior year. Thus, much of the book could be made up early and considerable knowledge about editing could be gathered. We have tried to make this not a mere class book for Seniors but an annual that everyone would be interested to have, and we hope that in time all students will buy the book each year, thereby lessening the individual cost. Finallv, we must say a few words concerning our advertisers. They have contributed in a large measure towards the success of this edition. You will see ads. of a shoemaker, a hardware dealer, a florist, etc. Please give your liberal patronage to these reliable firms — they deserve it. x Editor 63 Methuen High School 1933 (Ela££ jiiatfeitcs imp Class Queen Class King Class Jester Most Popular Girl Most Popular Boy Class Cutie Class Ideal Class Bluff Class Baby Girl .

With the limited amount at our disposal plu the reportorial and editorial abilities in our possession, we X V 3 have tried to put oul as good a I k as we could. Our aim has been to make this book interesting to all students. The staff hopes that you will like it. We tried to think of a name for thi book but finally had to give up. May succeeding editors have good fortune in this matter. The fact must be considered that only a small amount, as compared with previous years, was in the treasury and that this year was none too prosperous. Consequently, much planning and figuring had to be done to edit a volume that would be on the same high standard as publications of previous classes. A great deal l money was saved by having four pictures on a panel. It is hoped critics will judge us favorably.

It is an organization of service. The purpose, as expressed in the constitution of the Council, is perfectlj general. It aids the student l o(lv and Faculty as Ear as lies in it- power. Four Seniors, three Junior-, ami two Sophomores comprise the membership of the Council. In 1925-26, the Studenl Council was organized tinder the guidance of Mr. Lewi- C.onant. then principal. I lie constitution was drawn up at once and ratified hv each oi the three classes and made effective by the signature oi the principal. The Council has. as a part oi it- dutv, the arrangement oi the social calendar, regulation oi traffic and class election-, establishment oi customs, perpetuation of desirable tradition-, and fostering of any new extra-cur- ricula activities. This year there have been two main performances — the Christmas hasket drive and the Courtes) and Honesty campaign. With the aid of posters throughout the school, morning discussions in the home rooms, and the aid of our publication, the Blue and If lute, these two undertakings were immensely successful. 1933 Methuen High School THE STUDENT COUNCIL Sitting (Left to right): Alfred Taylor, Louis Pozycek (President) , Tillie Grinka (Secretary), Charles Szostak. Standing: George Ge ' -t, Shirley Thompson. Elthea Thompson, Sidney Marsden, Edward Kay worth. Every year two representatives are sent to a convention of the As- sociated Body of Student Councils of Massachusetts High Schools. This year the eighth annual convention was at Fall River. Edward Kayworth was the Junior from the Council and John McDermott was appointed as a Senior delegate. New ideas and better inter-school friendship are thus afforded by an exchange of opinions. The members of the Council gave a varied account of the organiza- tion ' s worth in high school before a meeting of the Parent Teachers Associa- tion of Methuen High School. As a parting word, we wish to sav that it would be a fine thing if an annual conference of Student Councils of local high schools could be arranged.

The worthy purpose of the association has made it a respected and influential organization. Its first aim is to create, foster, and increase a friendly feeling for athletics and for the general welfare of the school. The second object is to combine the enthusiasm of athletics and scholastic work. The participants in boys ' and girls ' sports who have earned a letter constitute the club. In the past, upon several occasions, members have been guests at various sporting events in Boston. Even year in October, the Club is scheduled to conduct a dance and party. This year the organization has formulated distinct rules for the earning of letters in all our sports. This restriction of getting a letter adds much towards the distinction of wearing an M . For this progressive accom- plishment, this year ' s club deserves to be complimented. The work of President Charles Szostak and Secretary Robert Strauten is worthy of com- mendation, too.

Opening our season against Lawrence, who were recognized as State title contender at the termination of the seas-m. we held them to a 7-0 score. The winning touchdown was scored near the end of the game when the reserve power of Lawrence com- menced to be evident. Against Manchester West, co-holder of the New Hampshire state champion- ship, our team again displayed fine calibre — holding them to a 13-0 decision. Our first victory came when we encountered Howe High of Billerica. In this game. Captain Taylor ran 95 yards for a touchdown! Szostak and Kayworth also made touchdowns; the final score being 18-0. At Reading we continued our winning streak when we tripped their strong team by a 13-0 score. Karsokas and Szostak did the scoring with the former making the extra point. On Columbus Day we met our suburban rival, Johnson High. Both teams did not play up to par, our team concealing their plays and Johnson being fatigued because of (heir previous hard encounter. Szostak scored in the last quarter for our team. Johnson likewise scored in thi period. The game ended in a 6-6 ' deadlock. On the following Saturday, our eleven met Gloucester High. In this game we displayed old form and defeated them 13-6. Hutchinson scored both touchdowns and gave a satisfactory accoun ' of himself during this game. Our next opponent. Woodbury High, was easily defeated. 19-0. Captain Taylor. McDermott. and Jozokos won the honors in this game: Taylor scoring all touchdowns. Playing Ca ' hedral Hidi of Man hester.

Due to the facl that not man) schools ol our class in this vicinity have this fine sport, the schedule was limited to one game. Intramural matches among the three classes, however, helped to keep those girls who are athletically inclined, robust and interested in sports. Miss Dorothy Chadwick, gymnastic instructor, must be complimented for her endeavor- in arousing interest in this worthy -port.

MOXSUM For twenty-nine years Mr. Moxsum has watched classes enter and leave the Edward F. Searles High School. He helped construct this building as a carpenter and so it is no wonder that he takes such personal pride and concern in the care of this beautiful edifice. Mr. Moxsum has been en- gineer since the structure was first opened. The boys and girls of our class will never forget his meriting opinions. 97 Methuen High School 1933 MRS.
