Guy is a staunch advocate of expression of the soul and extension of waltz time. which plat- form he loyally supported at our class parties. Your academic dance is over, Guy, so good luck in your dance of life. K VTHLEEN GERTRl DE !!KK ERS Thy fair hair m heart enchained. This girl seemed quiet to those who really did not know her, but to the chosen few she proved herself a good scout. She is best remembered for her well-known chorus. Tuna, peanut-butter, let- tuce, etc.. ' May her persistent spirit carry her on wherever she goes or whatever she does. JEANNETTE HELEN BERN i;i Hut. 0. her artless smile ' s more sweet Than honey or than marmolite. Dainty, sociable, cute, this is our Jean, an un- obtrusive but rather apparent femme. A devoted follower of Terpsichore and an ever-present rooter for our teams, she caused more than one extra lluttcr of heart- beneath manh chests. 1935 Methuen High School MARIE LOUISE BERWICK A cheerful life is what the muses love; A roaring spirit is their prime delight. Marie, that outspoken girl, that cheery indi- vidual, that wit of the class, can best be remem- bered by her turkey strut. An ardent disciple of Terpsichore, with hair to excite one ' s envy, she was not lacking friends and admirers. Her many wisecracks evoked more than one smile during classes. Good luck, Marie. PAUL HENDERSON BERWICK Traffic Officer 4 Take time when time is. for time will away. Paul is one of those persons who incessant! profess by speech and actions that Rome wasn ' t built in a day. This tall, gangling youth is best remembered as shambling along the corridors with no fixed purpose or desire to arrive at any certain place within a short time. Utilizing the ability he manifested in handling the surging throng in the corridors, Paul has our best wishes for success. JAMES HENRY BIERY Treasurer 3 Track Captain 4 Football 3, 4 Traffic Offi.-r. I To be born with the gift of laughter And a sense that the world is mad. The lengthy corridors of Methuen High have often resounded with the high pitch of feminine laughter mingled with a certain masculine horse- laugh. Henry, to be sure, was among them. He has been the life and pep of the senior class and when it came to noise, ranked with the leaders. Comment vous avez traduit votre franqais! Mon- sieur. Mot MARY EDNA BRACKETT I desire not the lowest, I am nol capable id the highest. I keep quiet. Edna was one of our quiet but 9ociable young women of our class. Her smile was particular!) Mimn when il Incused on a certain Mr Her rare, old-fashioned charms won a place for her in the hearts of fellow classmates. We feel sure that your pleasing disposition will bring you success, Edna. L3 1935 C. BARBARA BR AG DON Blue and White 4 Tig goodwill iliai makes intelligence. This athletic and sociable young lady has shown us her ability to work and plav hard. Determined as usual, she is one of the few who have decided on what they are going to do in life. Barbara har- bors the noble ambition of soothing feverish brows while telling nursery stories. The background of •hese touching scenes will be the Boston Children ' Hospital. Her good nature and willingness to help • thers assure us that she will ever be an all- around favorite. Kl TH VI K DORA BRIGGS True dignit) abides with her alone. Dignified to the extreme, business-like to the ut- most, plump to a pleasing degree, and musical to the point of marked accomplishment. — thus we present our Ruth. Her de ' ermination to make good will pave a path of gold for her in the field f music. The best of Luck. Ruth. RITA M RI BRl ' NO Such sweet compulsion doth in music lie. Another skilled artist! Rita has been somewhat shy and retiring, but those who know her well, find her a delightful associate and confirm the fact that her piano playing is a boon to any group. Her talents lie not onlv in poundim; a piano, however, but also in drawing pretty pictures. Rita ' s road of destin winds toward Lowell Normal School where she will pursue the career of an art teacher. WW MAE BYRNE Ila : r like a red meteor on the troubled air. Since her advent into our midst. Anna has won many friends by her sociability. Attractive and active she was by no means obscure, and that smile of hers combined with her (laming red hair would melt the coldest of hearts with its warmth. Keep on smilitm. Red. 14 1935 Methuen High School JOHN PHILIP CAESAR Today we live; tomorrow, who cares? John ' s hair was not the only bright part of him. for his ability in mathematics and chemistry was a witness to the brightness of his intellect. We have never had any evidence of temper or talka- tiveness which usually accompany red hair, for he has always been a quiet and unassuming member of our class. CHARLES AUGUSTINE CALLAHAN, Jr. Be always as merry as ever you can, For no one delights in a sorrowful man. This diminutive gentleman of the Senior class will long be remembered for his happy-go-lucky air and sunny smile. Some thought him quiet, but his constant pals, Mac and Sam, would quickly deny such an announcement. Charlie rarely missed a dance at school, or, from what we have heard, elsewhere. May you carry on as philoso- phically as you carried home your bi-monthly re- sults! JACK CARTER Student Speaker Baseball 4 Vice-President 4 Traffic Officer 4 The man that b ' ushes is not quite a brute. Meet Jack, the popular man about school. Jack is quite proficient in dancing — he ought to be since he has had sufficient practice — and has been a dili gent student. He has a greeting for everyone, but alas, like most men he is not perfect! He would blush like the traditional red, red rose. In spite of this characteristic we feel sure Jack will be suc- cessful in all he undertakes. THOMAS LAURENCE CIARDELLO, Jr. Baseball 3, 4 Football 4 And good luck to go with thee This suave, famously neat, sociable sheik of the Senior class concealed beneath his seemingly quiet, angelic, and calm coun ' enance a careless, rough and-ready disposition. Very interested in all our athletics, he seldom missed participating in any of our teams ' struggles for their alma mater. In his own way he has helped to keep law and order both in the corridors as a traffic officer and as a member of the morning social periods. Lots of luck, Tommy! 15 MkthUBN High School 1935 JOHN FRANCIS COLLINS He was MM to be still as a mouse. To the ladies,.. a dark-eyed, black curly-haired, bashful boy: to his friends... a regular guy; and to the world. . .a plodding, struggling man — thus we have Johnnie. He has made a reputation for himself through his customary silence and calm- ness. K Mil EDWIN ( OSSAR The hand thai follows intellect can achieve. Karl has maintained a high scholastic standing during his school career. Ambitious, patient, good-natured, and persevering. Karl is the fellow one can look up to for inspiration. Having a strong liking for chemistry, physics, etc., he will, no doubt, supplant the Einstein theory bv one of In- own.

Oeorgianna has been for us girls the cause of much perlexity. . .how she kept every curl in place as she has done in anv kind of circumstance.

Mary has been our model for efficiency and swiftness. Dainty and attractive, she had a host of friends. We have no doubt that she will be ac- cep ed with gratitude in the business world, but, while she will be a gain for business, she will be a great loss in Miss Whitehead ' s shorthand class. Lots of luck, Mary! CARLETON EARL DILL He knew what is what.

Determined and surprisingly stubborn, she has usuall) g otten what she went after. In future years we shall always remember her as that girl who bad a low. soft voice and was silent but quick in action. May success be yours, Florence. CYRIL FEUGILL, Jk. A hunting  r will go Although Cy has been with us physically, he has not been with us spiritually, for his mind wan- dered through the wilds of Melhuen in pursuit of frame or along the banks of the Spicket in quest of fish . He manifested a distinct liking for hunt- ing and fishing as he eagerly devoured the pages of The Fish and Came Magazine during his •pare moments. His favorite study was physics while his pet aversion was women. In spite of his interest in his out of -school diversion. Cv has ! een a determined, steadfast, and likable chap whom everyone expects to hear a lot about in the future. LOIS CLAUDIA FINITHY (irrat modesty often hides great merit. To meet her is to like her. .thus many of us have felt on associating with Lois. Quietly and dili- gently Lois has worked with us. making a good showing in studies and gaining our everlasting gratitude for those small acts of kindness for which she i tinted. Lois hopes tn lie a nurse, .in .1- piralion we feel will be realized to the joy of many a patient. IK 1935 Methuen High School MADELINE ELIZABETH FOLEY A friend more divine than all divinity. Madeline ' s wit, good taste in clothes, and pleasant, sociable disposition have endeared her to us all.

ISABEL ANN FREIJE Not stepping o ' er the hounds of modesty. This miss, vivacious and versatile for her size, could crash the gates of any office with her business-like demonstration of efficiency. She has worked in our commercial department all of her high school days and the many characteristics she has shown proclaim her capability of becoming a fine stenographer some day. For this we truly hope. GRACE FRENCH Those waves one sees upon her hair Would surely give you mal de mer. Always on the go, full of vim, sociable, and inspired with a devil-may-care disposition, this social butterfly fluttered amongst us, pausing for only the compulsory five hours.

Calmly but indifferently, Mr. and Mrs. Grai- chen ' s eldest contribution to humanity surveyed Methuen High three years ago as he stood before its beckoning portals.

Who ' s that laughing? Oh yes, we might have known. It ' s Vivian. She ' s the friendly miss whom everyone likes to see because of her pleasing per- sonality. She is always happy and always has a cheerful greeting. May success be yours in future vears, Vivian. SARAH-JANET SWEET Stay as sweet as you are... Few of us have had the pleasure of really know- ing Sarah, for she kept to herself a great deal and was rather quiet. To those who knew her as a classmate she was studious, quiet, and thoughtful: to those who knew her intimately, ambitious, hard- working, pleasant company, and a lover of sports. Her serious outlook on life combined with her am- bition will no doubt bring her success. ISABEL TAYLOR ' ' Fare thee well. Isabel. Isabel ' s sweet countenance has much behind it. for she is efficient in her studies, especially type- writing. Her popularity does not overshadow her scholastic standing, and we know she will be a benefit to the business world. May your wishes be fulfilled, Isabel. PEARL MABEL TAYLOR For her own person it beggared all description. This willowy and wistful maiden is one of those uncommon persons whose few remarks are noted for their profound intellect. She is. indeed, an in- dividual incomparable for her rare character and disposition. Individuality is yours. Pearl, pre- serve it for future utility. 1935 VERA TAYLOR A pirating countenance i a silent commendation.

GLADYS MAY TIDSWELL We heard an undistinguished giggle; I hen Gladys from around the corner niggled. Gladys, who n quite susceptible to giggling, has found our darkest moment of school life rather bright. Her incessant talkativeness and her well- known giggle combined with an omnipresent op- timism have made many friends for her. Gladys has always been ready with a helping hand even though she isn ' t a girl scout. Lots of luck. Gladys. 42 1935 Methuen High School OTIS EUGENE TITCOMB.

Since 1635. when the Boston Latin School was established in Boston, it has been the ultimate aim of the public school to prove to the citizens of this country how vital education i in the moulding of America s plastic youth. Therefore. a we Seniors close the last chapter of our High School career, let us spend a few moments of reminiscence upon the three years we have -pent in the Edward F. Searles High School, during which time we have striven to qualify ourselves to meet the situations of life and have founded friendships with the faculty and our fellow students. Perhaps this recol- lecting will enable us to realize more fully the advantages both intellectual and social which have been our — advantages that date their origin back to the pioneers in education who endeavored to advance scholastic instruction hevond the scope ot the Grammar Schools. September. 1932. w itnessed the introduction of two hundred and seven Students to the Fdward F. Searles High School who were to compose our CUSS, the Class of 1935. Our welcome was, no doubt, vastly different from the formal reception which the dozen or more boys received at the Boston Latin School three hundred year ago. We were harassed by the upper cla Smei] and sent helter-skelter in search of rooms that oftentimes did not « i -t . We were only silly, green, dumb Sophs. It was not long, however, before the feeling of ostracism had worn off, and we felt that we really belonged. Our euriositv wa- deeplv aroused when we heard the notice concerning a Sophomore assembly. It was the first one that we had attended in the High School. We sat humbly in awe of our speaker. Mr. Thompson, who after welcoming us and telling us that we were Sophomores — the lowest class in rank in the build inc- ami should, therefore, expect to l e treated with disdain bv our superiors, in a more serious vein tried to impress upon our minds that whatever we gleaned from our High School education de- pended upon ourselves. He urged us to make the most of what was offered us. The majority of our class left that assembly with an earnest desire in our hearts to live up to the standards that h.nl been placed before u-. hether we have or not, onlv we ourselves know. There have been no great obstacles to hinder us in the furthering of our knowledge a there were in the earlier la  . We have alwavs received free text-books and other educational neces- sities as pens, pencils, and paper. There is not one of us who has had to tramp three or four miles to school or suffer the hard-hip- of severe labor 46 1935 Methuen High School in order to obtain an education. It cannot be said that opportunity has not knocked. Within the next few weeks, we attended another assembly at which we elected the following class officers: George Wurzbacher, President; Albert Butterworth, Vice-President; Shirley Cox, Secretary; Stanley Jozokos, Treasurer. Miss Ruth Wright and Mr. Chester Brown were chosen to be our Class Advisers. During the latter part of September, the Senior Class tendered us a re- ception in the Central School hall. Invitations had been exchanged and there had been a general flurry of who was going with whom and what to wear among the feminine sex. After the grand march and welcome ad- dress by John McDermott, the Senior President, we were each presented with a carnation, a gift of the Seniors, by our own President, George Wurz- bacher. As usual, there were only a certain few who took part in the danc- ing. The unfortunate Sophomores who were necessitated by circumstances to assume the repugnant role of wall flowers were slightly disillusioned as far as school dances were concerned. We learned by our attendance what would be expected of us as sponsors when we were Seniors. The Sophomore- who were intimately acquainted with the upper- classmen received invitations to the annual Military Ball which was held in Lawrence State Armory, March 24, 1933. Those who attended anticipated the Military Ball of their Junior year with the keenest of pleasure. During the latter part of April and the first of May, we filled out elec- tive blanks on which we listed the subjects that we desired to take during our Junior year. Had we been attending school in the earlier days, we should have had no preference but to take Latin, Greek, Geography, and English. Imagine having to be able to translate and decline perfectly the paradigms of nouns and verbs in the Greek and Latin tongues in order to be eligible for admission to college. Just as dancing got into the feet of the youths of three centuries ago, and was indulged in with gusto — that is, until the scorching breath of re- ligious criticism curtailed it — so it got into our feet, and although there were no jigs, square dances, or minuets, the party which we held in May, in the Central School hall, was one that can be remembered with pleasure by the group that attended. Preceding Sophomore classes have always attended Senior Chapel in June. Because the assembly hall was not large enough to accommodate the students, we were denied this privilege. Although somewhat saddened by the departure of our idols, the Seniors, we rejoiced in the realization that our graduation was one step nearer. Thus our first year in the Edward F. Searles High School came to a close. September, 1933, sounded that ill omen — the knell of vacation. In spite of the fact that there were a few of us who did not want to return to 47 Metri kn Hk.ii School I TO school, we did not adopt the attitude of a lad of two hundred years ago who -aid. Thank ihe l ord my jeans h ' aint hrushed the dust off n no school wall mi pomped me all up with the pride of learnin . We expected to he treated with preference hv the Senior! for we had known them when they were hut Junior- themselves. Distinction was, however, decidedlv lacking. The Senior morel] acknowledged u with a -liehtlv greater degree of favor and recognition than they had given u in our Sophomore year. Ihe firs] assembly of our Junior year was held for the purpose of elect- ing clam officers. They were as follow-: George Wurzbacber, President: Charles Clifford, Vice-President; Jack Carter. Secretary; Henry Bierv, treasurer. Alhert (.onion and Charles Callahan were chosen to represent our class on the Student Council. During the earl) part of December, a representative t ailed at the High School to displav class rings. A committee was selected to choose our ring from the various st le- that were offered. A reproduction in gold, on a black -etting. oi the Kdward F. Searles Tower, made our ring attractive and unique. Perhaps three hundred years from the present, they will he price- le- heirloom-. February 2. ' i. L934, was a memorable night for those who attended the annual Junior Part) in the school hall. The various committees realized tha t there no dotihl would he not only those hoys who, because they lacked the gumption to try, considered dancing sissified, but also bom hoys and trirl- who preferred not to dance. To overcome this dilemma, the hall was divided into two BOCtions. Tables were placed in one. on which games such as checkers, beano, and cards might he played. Kven the teachers who were present participated in the fun. The other section of the hall was occupied w ith dancers. A local orchestra furnished a repertoire of the latest song-hits. Melhuen, as well as many of the neighhoring towns, felt that liecause ol .1 deficit in fund- hasehall would have to he discontinued. Therefore, the three classes ot the High School sponsored a hasehall dance which was loyall) supported. Consequently, the -port remained on our athletic schedule. The twenty-eighth annual Military Rail was held on March 24, 1934, in the Central School hall. Since we had heroine upper-classmen, a larger number of our group were present than during the preceding year. Ex- hihition drilling and a grand march consumed much of the early evening. fter the judges had awarded the pri e to the company performing its mili- larj tactics the hc-t. dancing was held. The officers of the Lawrence, Lowell. Haverhill, and Gloucester cadet corps were guests of our boys. The outstanding event of the year for the girls took place on April 27, 1934. This was the annual exhibition of the Athletic Association. The first part of the evening was devoted to calisthenics hy the girls. Mr. Thompson 48 1935 Methuen High School awarded letters to those who had played on the hockey and basketball teams. A grand march and dancing completed the evening program. June, 1934, did not take us unaware. We had very animatedly awaited its arrival, for two glorious months of vacationing were to follow — then, our return to school as Seniors! There were not many girls of our class who hoped that the Board of Education would suddenly adopt the attitude of 1690 — all a girl needs to know is how to spin and how much to pay for a peck of potatoes in case -tie is ever left a widow. for they anticipated their last year in the Edward F. Searles High School with more eagerness than any other. Fired with ambition and filled with expectation, we, in September, 1934, entered the Edward F. Searles High School as Seniors to conclude the final lap of our scholastic journey. At the time, we did not realize that we prob- ably are the last class to welcome the Sophomores to our school. Owing to the ever-increasing number of students, a plan has been proposed to have a two-session day next year. One advantage of this plan lies in the fact that the Sophomores will be spared the ordeal of incessant attacks by the Seniors. As Seniors we were given the privilege of going home at 12:45 — that i-. those Seniors who were not failing any subjects. This ruling had its effect upon the individuals who played on the various teams for a failure in any subject meant that they could neither go home early nor participate in the games. The students who rode on the buses watched their classmates leave the building with envious eyes for they had to wait until 1 :30 for their bus to come. Of the twentv-five girls who tried out for the class play, those who were chosen were Grace Morin, Grace Pfieffer, Shirley Lake, and Shirlev Cox. After a great deal of difficulty, we chose John Hewson, George Wurzbacher. Ernest McKenzie, and Walter Graichen from the boys. The play entitled The Youngest was given on November 23, 1934. in the Central School hall. The large audienrr was very pleased with the performance of our actresses and actors. During December of this year, Mr. Moxum. a man who has served as janitor of the building for many years, left. While he was in the High School, he acquired many friends. It seemed strange not to see him about the corridors or hear him reminding some of the girls that the de ks had been in service for many years and were, therefore, not substantial enough for them to sit upon. On December 14, 1934, the first Class Party of the vear was held in the School hall. Students from all three classes enjoyed themselves at this affair. Some danced to the strains of Andy Haldane ' s Merry Music Makers ' a group of our own musicians. Others played games in another part of the hall. 49 Mkthi kn Hk.h School On ' of the great disadvantages of the two-session dav that may go into effect next year i- that it eems probable that military drill will have to be discontinued. It ha- been rumored that the Ball which occurred on March 29, 1935, in the Central School hall was the last one which Methuen High School Cadets will hold. The hall wa attractively decorated in red, white, and blue. Kxhibitiou drilling and a grand march took place during the earlv evening. Dancing wa- held during the latter part. Because of the illness of our gymnastic instructor, Mi s Dorothy Chad- wiek. there was no Girl ' A. A. dance this year. At an assembly in the school hall during April, it was suggested that a committee of girls take the affair into their own hand-. This plan, however, did not materialize. The omis- sion of this dance was a keen source of disappointment to the girls and also a few bo who wen- expecting invitation-.

In what is but a matter of a few hour-, we -hall clasp our diplomas in our hand-. Let it not Ik -aid that we have wasted the effort of our forefathers to advaive education beyond the Grammar School and prepare us — America ' s pla-ti« vouth — to meet the situation- of life. If we uphold the symbols that have been set before u and make them an integral part of our lives, though the w .i be hard and the distance far. we will scale the difficulties to the stars. Gertrude Merrill 1935 Methuen High School Scene: Corner of Osgood Street and Broadway. Time: Tuesday, June 18, 1945, 10 A. M. Event: Outstanding Circus Parade, for which all the officials and citizens of the city of Methuen have turned out. Margaret: Here comes the parade. Martin: How do you know? Margaret: Because there are Cyril Feugill, Chief of Police, and Police- woman Mary Stafford puffing around Legion Hall bend on their motorcycles. Martin: Here come Robert Stronach, Chester Riley, and John Hewson, those tiny men, carrying a mammoth sign advertising the Thompson- Scannell Circus. Margaret: There is Major Sam D ' Orto with his secretary, Jeannette Bernard, followed by his staff of aldermen. Martin: Look at those three sedate gentlemen strutting along with their shiny silk toppers cocked to one side. Paul Berwick has at last become Superintendent of Schools. (Paul always did love school.) Walter Grai- chen, Highway Supervisor, was re-elected because he so successfully re- paired rough Pelham Street. Ramon Sierpina, Supervisor of Parks, has become expert in keeping cows from grazing on the public playgrounds. Margaret: Madeline Foley, State Representative, is saluting the many friends who assisted in her recent campaign. Martin: There is Colonel George Wurzbacher, highest ranking officer in New England, riding at the head of a troop of his cavalry. Margaret: Phyllis Stowell and Vera Nicholson, the popular and much publicized sponsors of the parade, are driving by in an An-dane car, de- igned by our old schoolmate, Andy. Martin: Listen to the medlev of those brightly dressed musicians. Why, there are Lillian Rothe and Ernest McKenzie playing trumpets, and Ruth Briggs and John Rogers having a difficult time producing music from their trombones, as they march up Town Hall Hill. Margaret: Shirley Lake and Frederick Harnisch are playing clarinets. Aren ' t Vivian Sutcliffe and Warren Halstead securing lovely, mellow tones from their comets? 51 MSTHUEN Hh.h School 1935 Martin: e . And that hip girl playing the hass horn is Margaret Madden. The snappy drummer. Carlton Dill, is assisted by the husky John Movie. Margaret: Edna Bracketl i awakening echoes with her clattering cvm- btla. flow Strange that quiet little Edna should have taken up the playing of noisy cymbals as her life ' s work. Martin: Here come the dude Westerners. John Hovanasian and Marian Robinaon, also Hoy Nelson and Georgianna Hawkins. 1 never expeeted to -«•«• the day when Johnny and the rest would dash hy on horseback. Margaret: It seems as though the wild Indians. Otis Titeoml), Kath- leen Beerere, Carl (j) sir. and Martha Manahan. are in pursuit of the West- erners. It i strange to hear them emit such Mood-curdling yells. Martin: Nevart Kamltegian is leading the parade of elephants on her favorite. Jumho. Emily Gardiner and Hetty Doran appear to he having a difficult time maintaining order in the rest of the herd. Margaret: Hen- come the prize black and white trick horses, led by those two well-known equestriennes, Louise Rnightlv and Elsie Nevins. Martin: This slight wind makes it difficult for little Hedwig Sadowska and Alice Hoellrich, balloon vendors, to keep their feet on the ground. Margaret: erna Hoeplmer and Viola Medauer are very well adapted to keeping those camels in perfect order. Probably erna gained her ex- perience by keeping the sweets-hungry from upsetting her candy-room back in High School days. Martin: Were come the daring animal trainers, Dorothea Beatty Manlev and Marv Welch, elephant trainers, and Sarah Sweet, seal trainer, with their four assistants, Hyland Rowan, John Collins, Robert Hewson, and Joe Marsden, who do not appear discomforted as helpers. Margaret: Hen- come the cages: In the first there are two man-eating lions. The cart is being driven bv Aldona Karsokas and Thelma Robinson. In tin- second are two Bengal tigers driven by Doris Giles and Dorotln Moodv. Martin: The wagon giddapped and whoa-ed by Henrv Biery and Udona Paplaskas encloses a ferocious gorilla. It is remarkable that the beast remains quiet with all the thundering cominc from the driving seat, look at the tank full of seals rhauffeured bv Evelyn Pittard and Andrew tndruchow. The hippopotamus caaje, driven bv Charlie Callahan and Nabe! FVeije. brings up the rear, and proves that big things don ' t always go first. Margaret: Evelyn Caumond is leading a fife ami drum corps. She is pleasing the spectators by performing difficult tasks with her silver baton. Following her are Helen Mcl eod. Pearl Taylor, and Henry Lambert who 52 1935 Methuen High School have discontinued their violin lessons and taken up the fife. Anna Kurowski and Priscilla Peabody have given up their singing lessons for cymbals. I wonder why? Martin: Rita Noonan, dressed in a uniform of deep blue with shiny brass buttons, is beating out the time on a big bass drum which is so large that she needs the assistance of John Caesar to carry it. The song that is being played is an old favorite, Believe Me If All Those Endearing Young Charms and, to complete the beauty of the song, Ruth Gumb in her best Jenny Lind manner is singing, very melodiously, from a picturesque white float. Margaret: What ' s all that noise? Why. it ' s the peanut vendors. A common enough sight at a circus parade, I suppose, but what a commotion! Oh! I see, Robert Searle and Joe Scanlon are arguing because thev both want to sell a bag of their peanuts to Ruth Noble. She always did love peanuts, you know. Martin: Look! the aerialists! There are winsome Georgianna Crocs and Robert Hyde, the famous tight-rope walkers. They surely will make us hold our breath when we watch them perforin this afternoon. And so will the great team of Mesrobian and Schwarzenberg with their daring stunts on the flying trapeze. Margaret: Isn ' t that Grace Morin balancing Lois Finethy? Great sense of equilibrium, Ld say, and look at Marie Berw ick and Gert Jones turning continuous somersaults. There ' s something unique! — six white dogs trained to perform tricks at the command of their mistress. Rose Mills, and her team- mates. Rita Bruno and Ruth Mitchell. Martin: Look at the natural perfonners, Howard Jones, Badrig Bedro- sian, and Albert Gordon, the three greatest clowns in the world! That is usually a very hard act but they seem to have an easy time making the spectators laugh. Margaret: There are my favorites — Helen Nichols, Mary Louise Mc- Auliffe, Rita Livingston, and Isabel Taylor, the trick riders. They risk their lives at every performance to make the show exciting. Martin: Freaks are in every circus, but the ones advertised on that large banner being carried by Florence Duggan, Elizabeth Welch, and Bar- bara Hanley make all other freaks minute attractions. Al Groswald, the sword swallower, Margaret Spooner, the stout woman, are among the most notable. Richard Orr, the giant, and the two midgets, Jack (Tom Thumb) Carter and petite Anna Byrne, surely make a perfect set of opposites. Margaret: That must be the human cannon ball, Claire Lowry, with her assistant, Ruth Lawson. Wouldn ' t it be a calamity if Ruth should, by mistake, ever put in real shells instead of the prepared cartridges? ; ;5 Mkthi kn Hu h School 1 ):{.! Martin: Dressed in typical snake ehanner attire are Anne Thorpe, Allhea Drouin. and Julia krukonis. They Mow their oboes with strenuous determination to keep that King Cobra in a peaceful mood. Margaret: Who are those two people shouldering their wav through the large crowd in Marian kfoury ' s Kandy Shoppe? Why, they are Tommy C i a d ell o and Gladys Tidswell, each enjoying a chocolate fudgiele. Martin: An attractive hanner advertising the hand competition of Guv BeaTa Silly Syncopater . Shirley Cox ' s Rhythm Ramblers, is being carried by Sophie Zekis and Doris Robinson. I understand that those two maest roc- arc widely celebrated in the musical circles of the country. Margaret: Did you know that, along with the band competition, there is also going to be a dance competition to decide which of the two most famous dance teams is the better? We shalf not know which one to cast our VOtCfl for, however, l ecause Alice Ginger Mortimer and Alphonsc A taire Hatem with their splendid dance routines are classed with Bar- bara keeler l.ibhe and Krnest Jolson Richardson. Martin: Have you heard the thrilling news that two popular members of the Thompson-Scannell Circus, Mar Crowther and Arthur Hill, have come back to their old home town, Methuen. to be married in a cage full of lions? Mary intends to keep on satisfying the appetites of the circus people with her delicious cooking ami Arthur will continue his hectic career as water boy to the elephants. Margaret: The shrill whistling tunes of the colossal steam organ fore- tell the end of the parade. This particular organ is the only one of its kind and was made especially for thi s circus in the Searles Organ Factory man- a tied bv Clifford Nelson and Vera Taylor. It requires three competent ladies. Marian Goebel. Barbara Rragdon, and Gertrude Merrill, to operate it. Martin: Oh. there is the last thing in the parade. What is it? Why. it ' - an obi. old. 1935 Maxwell machine and that is Seth Lambert driving, with l.etxade Leighton ami Edna Strauten sitting up on the back Beat Tin- large ign on the back reads.

Many of us here fail to understand the true reason for planting this modest and too green plant. Man a-k themselves, why not plant a lieau- tiful rase bush, or a fine magnolia? De-pile the opinion of this group, the vear go hy and the planting of the ivy remains a solemn tradition. I ' erhap the ivy i too green, lowh as compared with the beautiful rose; perhaps it i neither dainty nc r fragrant, hut, as in the case of men, we can- not judge plant- hy external appearances. The glossy green of the i y i- i- a mark of endurance and strength: the seeming insignificance of the ivy i | .1 mark of its scorn for elaboration. We plant the ivy for two equally important reasons. First, the i v beautifies e ery unbeautifaJ place its persistent, daunl- leas tendril-, reach; gi ing youth to decayed pot and worn surfaces; en- livening the hare, red walls with timely splashes of bright, fresh, living green; ami it touche them with new beauty and freshness that young men and young women, old men and old women, who love fresh, growing things w ill ever enjoy. Second, the i i a climbing, plucky plant, the symbol of deathless ambition, a persistent, obstinate, little vine, whose twigs shoot out in all direction-; gra-ping. nipping, feeling their way. till, at length, they secure I linn place to fa-ten upon, and there they cling, in spite of thunder, light- ning, rain, or -now . The young climl er, if it may l e aware of them, acknow- ledge- no obstacles. It knows no impossible heights, but goes over this COmioe, around that buttress, until it reaches the highest pinnacle. illi like determination, we most face the world of today. Because „t economic ami political dithculties in our changing social system, no young man. no Noung woman, can ho| e to succeed without the necessary grit, the phK-kj endurance to fight on. knowing no obstacles, recognizing no ;™ ck - fighting in the face of difficulties, -eeking a place in the world, just like the ,x v If we do not fight, we -hall be crushed, beaten down by those more am- bitious than our-elxes. We -hall l e plunged into that bottomless whirlpool ,,f dun ohscuritv ami live fon-ver as common laborers, a future not pleasant to anticipate. m 1935 Methlen High School Keeping the ivy in mind, we must go cheerfully on. pushing forward, spreading happiness and beauty at all times and under all circumstances. K e graduates might easily be compared to the ivy, for we all come from the common vine, this high school. Although we have all had the opportunities and undergone the difficulties usually encountered in a small town, some of us, less ambitious, will be content to be sidetracked and cling to some pre- carious support; others, like the more persistent twigs of the ivy, will go on to the heights. With the same opportunities to better our lots, may every one of us successfully go on to his chosen work.
